Was told by a dev that policy is to NOT comment code a lot as you can just read through the code.  Wondered if they knew this code needed to be maintained, though that would explain the state of the application....

That's stupid.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Who thinks this is ever a good idea? If anyone ever says stuff like that, I assume they either don't have any programming skills, or they wrote the program and want to secure their job position in the future. :>

The US Marine Corps is like an old girlfriend from long ago. (...) But still, when her birthday rolls around you can't help but raise a toast to her.

 

Do... people actually do that? With their exes, I mean?

 

we have little nostalgia regarding exes.  am usually happy to get out of a relationship w/o metaphorical boiled bunnies

 

HA! Good Fun!

:lol:  Well, I was really just trying to be poetic. But to tell the truth when my ex-wife and I split up I hated her with a passion. But a few years later I had a bad car accident and nearly checked out during and after. After that we spoke and made peace. I haven't spoken to her since and she's married to someone else now anyway. But I do remember the good times more than the bad.  As for the toast, there is not bad reason to have a drink.

They are good developers. Just pump out byzantine code that works great until you try to understand it.  My buddy at work comments a lot explaining "Why" he is doing something and got docked in review for "cluttering up" the code.  :lol:

A buddy from the military is in town for work so I'm taking him out to enjoy a little of what Denver has to offer.

Today I watched more JunsKitchen videos (along with Rachel and Jun videos).

Every time I watch people who are decent/good with a kitchen knife - the cutting food, not just cleaning rust - I get just a little bit jealous. They make it look so easy. Pffft.

I love Jun's kitchen. I honestly don't think fluent cooking is all that hard if you have the equipment and spend a bit of time picking up some methods. The most important thing is having a really sharp knife, it literally makes things trivial.

for a home chef, elite knife skills are useful but hardly essential.  sure, prep time is significant increased if you are clumsy with a knife, but is hardly a real limitation.  make certain your steel is sharp.  more important, plan ahead and make certain you do all possible prep work in advance o' applying heat to anything.  e.g. pre-measure out spices and quantities o' ingredients.  

 

we do a fair amount o' cooking but we almost never watch cooking shows.  'bout a year ago we saw ina garten's (sp?) show for the first time.  not particular great knife skills.  am being generous. we current got partial paralysis in our left hand/arm and our overall knife skills is far better than she displayed.  with her rather mundane (at best) knife skills, she is nevertheless making buckets o' money for her cooking skills.

 

annoyingly valid bit o' pith: success is 90% preparation and 10% perspiration. cooking is no different than most craftsmanship. don't simple read a recipe ahead o' time, but plan.  be willing to invest time in preparation so you can then focus on actual cooking.  doesn't much matter if you can expert fine chop 10 onions in two minutes or not if you is cooking at home and can afford to spend a bit more time on prep. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

 

ps alternative: you can do as our sister did and avoid cooking altogether-- baking only.  can be a fine baker with pretty much 0 knife skills.

Sorry to hear about your condition, Gromnir. Hopefully it is temporary?

not temp.  'course is also not a particular big deal for us at this stage. type slower and riding a bike is a bit more dangerous with only one good hand/arm. takes a bit longer to prepare meals. no more visits to batting cages. etc. mostly minor inconveniences.

 

HA! Good Fun!

How so? I'm on 52.0.2 with auto-updating off for plugin compatibility reasons.

There could be some bugs or issues with a particular target build. But in the grander scheme this is factually wrong. I've been following the development of this update very closely, and it's really nothing short of amazing.

 

If you are having issues, I'd recommend sticking things out. Maybe using an older version for the time being.

 

Btw the newest version is 57.

Judging from the huge "members online" list, I'm guessing something big is going on today. Game beta?

 

Today I ran out of my homemade chicken+chicken liver mix and when I tried giving Kitty some Fancy Feast to tide him over, he tried to bury the dish and gave me this dirty look. I guess I better hoof it to the store and do some cooking before I sit down to check out FFXV Comrades.

Yeah, as Gfted said above. So the thing I'm wondering is, who the heck scrolls down past the 2 dozen game-specific subforums to see who's online anyhow?

Someone who has every non-WoT subforum always minimized and uses the "End" key to get to the bottom of the page.
