Is everyone going to let all that water just…do that?

What are you talking about, I was spanked as a child and I turned out mostly almost ok after years of therapy.

How can little pieces of metal kill people?

And on the 7th day, shit finally compiled, and God looked upon the code that he had written and found that it was mostly good enough.

Reminds me of one time I had a 7am meeting I was supposed to run and woke up nice and rested at 8 30. It was a special feeling when it slowly dawned on me that it was light outside and I checked the time.

I have altered the drivers, pray I do not alter them further.

Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time.

Nice save

Yeah it sounds like I’m just out of touch with the modern Windows usage experience by the sound of it. It really sucks that it’s gotten so bad, I would be so pissed off if that happened when I was playing a game or something.

Isn’t the fact that it’s uncommon what makes it extreme though? I could be wrong about that but I’m not sure how else you’d define what is extreme vs not.

Fair enough. My experience on Mac has been pretty bad compared to Windows but to be honest there could be recency bias there. I use Mac every day for work and don’t use Windows very often but at least Windows has never suddenly closed all my apps because it decided it was time to update.

I thought the Windows update system is actually not too bad. At least compared to Mac.

That’s a good point. I guess things have gotten so bad I don’t consider those views to be held only by extremists anymore but maybe (and hopefully) I’m wrong about that.

I obviously can’t speak for everyone but my assumption is that there is such fundamental disagreement that for many, even saying “agree to disagree” with certain people would be a betrayal of their own values.

Someone I know put it pretty well when talking about the idea of how accepting their workplace should be of people’s different political values. They said “If someone doesn’t think I should have human rights, I don’t want to work with them.” which I think makes the point pretty well. See also: paradox of tolerance.

Well, they won’t be once I bring them inside, will they?

This always frustrates me, people assuming that stoicism is just not showing feelings and not caring about things. It’s fucked up and not correct at all. I’d also recommend Seneca’s Letters from a Stoic although I found it a bit drier than the ones you recommend.

So you wanna be a wok super star
