Anya could talk to me about anything and I would listen

I want this food, and I like the way your wife plates it.

Banned from entire communities or instances, similar to the other people in the thread who are saying that’s why they don’t comment. Some people are very sensitive about getting downvotes.

Careful, you can get banned for voting “wrong” too

Don’t worry, he’s died like 5 times

Nothing about this outcome was a surprise

In all unfairness to these companies, geolocation via IP address is pretty hit or miss sometimes

I don’t understand how you got that from the image.

Both monitors on the senior side of the image are showing coding environments

Not quite this, but I did have a validation team that didn’t know when to quit.

The project was a Windows service, and they would be constantly opening bugs saying “program crashes when we deleted xxxxx.dll”

Like… Yeah. If you delete necessary libraries from the installation directory, the program won’t run correctly.

What exactly are they arguing over? I probably shouldn’t ask, but I’ve been fortunate enough to not encounter any of this controversy on my social media

Imagine programming a computer without understanding the machine code that tells the CPU what to do

Fire often is, which is a possible side effect of gunpowder

I thought I would play a straight character in Baldur’s Gate 3, but Gale made it hard.

Gates can be moving, but not at faster than light. SG1 had the bit where they tossed an active gate into a sun to blow it up, and Atlantis had straight up orbital space gates with stabilizer rockets on them

There was some explanation about how the gates had to be calibrated to a general part of space in order to participate in the gate network which is why they couldn’t use it in hyperspace. That, and probably some physics mumbo jumbo about why wormholes can’t connect from within subspace or whatever

Classic Who went through enough changes that there might be something you enjoy in there. It was arguably at its best during the Tom Baker years. (Season 12). If you can’t get into that, then it may just not be your jam. A lot of the charm to the old series came from the low budgets and aggressively short production times. But with the 4th Doctor they had gotten a little more confidence from BBC and I think their budgets started getting bigger for a few years.

The original Doctor Who in the 60s was more like original series Star Trek, in that it sometimes felt more like a stage production than a television show, and that kind of writing is understandably dated.

I’m fond of Go, which comes with its own auto formatter. It eliminates all arguments over style and format.

For what it’s worth, this looks like the standard cat crouch position that my cats do all the time. It’s one step away from the regular cat loaf.

This cat’s legs are very likely normal length, they’re just hidden in that white fur.

ActivityPub has nothing to do with privacy. It’s explicitly about publicly sharing everything you share

I have a physics joke, but it only works in a vacuum

I don’t understand why someone changed this comic to the same joke but worse.
