Reminds me of the o-ring on the challenger

No, thanks. Unions make jobs go overseas.

Lol. I’m not worried about the pinkos, they have no backbone.

I’m also in no way a professional writer.

How about this weather?

Don’t underestimate small talk. It lets people take their wall down.

A $200k horror movie that can be out in 3 months. It’s about a serial killer who steals the teeth from his victims.

My script mixes highly defined characters, supernatural cosmic horror, and old world body horror. It’s goes off the rails in terrifying and fun ways.

Ps: I actually have a script ready to go and have no hangups about scabbing.

Also, a way to never have to work again!

I love js. But the date object has always been a total pain. Moment.js is a good package to deal with it, but yeah, it’s currently deprecated, but it would be nice if it or something like it became part of ECMAScript.

I have no idea why it hasn’t yet, except that it might be that js needs to work for everyone, not just the us. So time is not standard.

Dune is exactly what Lucas was copying when he wrote Star wars.

Yes, tape has very steep entry costs and requires maintenance and storage.

Most of the time it doesn’t make sense for a person to use it, but rather a corporate entity that needs to backup petabytes of data multiple times a day.

So tape doesn’t make sense for the typical person, unless you don’t have to buy the equipment and store i.

But, if you’re even a small company it becomes cheaper to use tape.

Companies don’t like deleting data. Ever. In fact some industries have laws that say they can’t delete data.

For example, the company I work in is small, but old. Our accounting department alone requires complex automated processes to do things each day that require data to be backed up.

From the beginning of time. I shit you not. There is no compression even.

And at the drop of a hat, the IT dept needs to be able to implement a backup from any time in the past. Although this almost never happens outside of the current pay cycle, they need to have the option available.

The best way they have to facilitate this (I hate it - like I said they’re old) is to simply write everything multiple times a night. And it’s everything since we started using digital storage. Yes, it’s overkill and makes no sense, but that’s the way it is for us. And that’s the way it is for a lot of companies.

So, when we’re talking about that amount of data, and tape having a storage cost advantage of 4:1 over disk, it more than pays for all the overhead for enterprise level backups.

Speaking of slasher films, does anybody know of any movies that have terrible everything except a really good plot?

Bro, trying to give padding in Ms word, when you know… YOU KNOOOOW… they can convert to html. It drives me up the wall.

And don’t get me started on excel.

Kill em all, I say.

YES!

The savior of mankind. We are not worthy.

Any mention of a server room reminds me of the fable of the guy, we’ll call him Mike, who unplugged the Internet.

I can’t remember where I read it, I think it was greentext on Reddit years ago.

So Mike is an intern, and due to some weird circumstances he becomes the only network admin in the building. Well, one day he doesn’t esnt feel like working, so on his way in, he stops by the server room and unplugs the internet.

He then goes to his desk like a normal day. Then he starts getting phone calls. Everybody is freaking out because there is no Internet. So he begrudgingly descends into the server room and starts playing video games on his phone.

Close to the end of the day, he plugs the Internet back in and ascends a hero to the employees because they think he’s been working hard all day to give them internet.

Fuck yes dude. Such a good song.

That cod piece. What the literal fuck was going on with 80s kids movies?

The totally unnecessary tiddies in neverending story come to mind.

Once I coded a module to completion with no errors. I still wake up with night terrors that I missed something.
