Now this will be a GOOD Friday.

I would like to have mine measured. But I don’t want anyone else to see the results.

New fear for couches unlocked.

Cause it’s too old for the list writers to know about? Also, their adoption rate was pretty poor.

One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I’m in my early 50s. I’m surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.

Bees aren’t the only arthropods having this problem, but for most of the other non-pollinators people seem to think "good less bugs to bother me. " I guess we should just give up on the survival of the food chain.

The news for insects is not entirely bad, emerald ash borers are finding the ability to survive in areas that were formerly too cold for them. This allows them to kill more trees turning them into kindling for lightning strikes and other fire starting events.

Who could have known that fucking with our habitat might have negative consequences for us?

I tried to use dd with too much hubris once. I had to restore from backups (which ironically, I had made with dd). I’m usually overly cautious, but I was in a hurry.

Resume: “Experienced Excel Wizard”

I have played a lot of tennis. The only way I win a point against Serena is if she double faults.

Hands are too big too.

Make it a requirement that they are currently active. Pretty unfair if they are naming Mia Hamm, Tonya Harding, and Billy Jean King. Pretty hilarious if they name Caitlyn Jenner.

I can hear the music just by seeing the picture.

Much, much saltier than concrete.

In my experience, the c library also depends on several additional libraries which is fine except it needs version 5.0+ of a library that you’re already using 3.4 of. The APIs for the library have been significantly changed, a function in the library that you heavily use has been deprecated, and upgrading to use it is more work than just implementing the desired feature yourself. The manager who suggested the library thinks you are overstating the amount of work using it will require and thinks technical debt is the money he still owes the Indian subcontractors.
