  • Basically this happened in an episode of Adventure Time.

  • I got offered a job at NASA. It was very tempting, primarily because I would have gotten to see space maneuvers.

    However, they had no WFH openings and the department that was offering me a position was only using technologies with which I was already familiar. Unfortunately I had to decline.

  • I guess it's cool that Windows finally has an official package manager.

  • Where I grew up, we called it the MVA. I didn't learn that was relatively abnormal until almost my twenties.

  • Free software has some glib naming conventions

  • I once tried to play "PHP" in Scrabble and argued that it should be infinite points.

    The opponent didn't agree.

  • "Nobody cares if you're dead" is a very sad statement. Hopefully my wife and kid would at least notice.

  • I love complimenting people, man or woman. However, as you said, I like to compliment something that took effort or at least commitment, not luck. It costs nothing and often nets happiness.

    I've mentioned this on lemmy before, but one of my favorite memories is complimenting a random guy's jacket in the waiting area at an Outback Steakhouse. The jacket was loud, but pretty cool. I said I liked it; he grinned, thanked me and clapped me on my shoulder. The person I presume was his girlfriend or wife rolled her eyes, but smiled.

    That's all the context I have, but I assume she had teased him for it and he had defended it. Whatever the actual circumstances were, everyone walked away smiling.

  • My brother, who has a Ph.D. in pure mathematics, says that all a doctorate means is that you've learned to talk a lot.

    I don't and never will have one, so this is the only relevant information I have.

  • I didn't begrudge her the right to be warm, but it did make the cups look a lot less pretty. The ones I had were shaped differently, but basically this:

    I got them at a thrift shop, so no clue what brand they were. I think I technically still have them somewhere but have only used them once any time even remotely recently.

  • I used to make, consume and share a lot of frozen beverages. I had a set of aluminum cups that I loved, but everyone else hated them because they started frosting over as soon as the frozen drink was poured in. My then girlfriend, now wife, would only use them with a towel wrapped around them for insulation.
