I love America. I'm rather less fond of some of the people in it. The land is beautiful and varied. There is so much space here. And the constitution is really special, I think, though not perfect. The biggest flaw is people haven't been taking politics seriously and have elected unserious people.

I swore to defend it many years ago. At the time I was a kid just paying lip service to a required oath, swearing to a god I never believed in, but the truth is I do love it and I would fight for it, warts and all.

My ring used to do that shit. I stopped using it for like a year. Then I was bitching about it and someone said they just got one and it worked great. So I tried it again out of spite to show what a piece of shit it was and now it works within a couple of seconds. shrug

AI coding in a nutshell. It makes the easy stuff easier and the hard stuff harder by leading you down thirty incorrect paths before you toss it and figure it out yourself.

I think there might be a lot of value in describing it to an AI, though. It takes a fair bit of clarity of thought to get something resembling what you actually want. You could use a junior or rubber duck instead, but the rubber duck doesn't make stupid assumptions to demonstrate gaps in your thought process, and a junior takes too long and gets demoralized when you have to constantly revise their instructions and iterate over their work.

Like the output might be garbage, but it might really help you write those stories.

I fucked up a lot of potential relationships by being too horny, and a lot of potentially fun hookups by being too serious. But it all worked out in the end.

Admitting you're a pedo isn't a good look. Fortunately you don't matter one bit to me. All your anger, rage, jokes, whatever - none of it is worth anything.

He just needs a good cry and he'll feel better.

What a douchey way to say something.

Well, that looks horrifying.

Edit: also I can't believe no one has said, that face looks eerily like Thomas the Train.

These don't even seem to be crazy rules. It's all functionality I'd expect on any local network.

Private, compatible with all devices, centrally managed, simple local aliases, seamless.

I couldn't do it either, but I haven't tried in a couple of years.

The way I've dealt with this before is reference the ticket number in the commit message. Now the only tickets you ever need to review are the ones relevant to the element in question, and only those creating or modifying that particular property, which should be evident in your commit log.

You don't specify a language but I'd assume that is the footer definition/html and any scripts or styles invoked by it.

But once you have an answer, it would be wise to document it in confluence somewhere, even if it's something like "Footer green per request from Director, Mr. Smith" or "Footer color: arbitrary, green to differentiate profile pages. Verify changes with Director."

How to organize the documentation so that it isn't difficult to navigate is another difficult question that is more art than science - one which has never been satisfactorily solved anywhere I've worked once complexity reaches a certain point, but I leave that exercise to the reader.

Try a dozen. Public toilet paper is the thinnest substance known to man.
