This is where I tell a really embarrassing story. I was on a flight about a month ago from USA to UK (so overnight). I had such bad stomach pain, like I have NEVER felt before. I've had gallbladder pain and kidney stones (and had a baby for that matter), and it was that awful. I sometimes get travel sick, so I…

Please say you put the plugs in your ears, as intended. Please.

A pre-flight meal of deviled eggs, bratwurst, sauerkraut, potato salad, baked beans and beer helps.

Tidbits of information "Java is slow to change, so it's easier to keep up with". So why does it need to update on my computer seemingly everytime I turn it on?

Suddenly a thousand husbands left work early to cover their tracks

A whole lot of talk initially, then everyone got quiet. If you had that smoking gun convicting X or Y person especially if we wanted them further demonised, that evidence would have been quickly put forward. Seems highly suspect it isn't. I certainly remember Iraq being blamed for 9/11 within minutes of the attack. We…

ahahahaha, "the positives of the F-35," yes, that is a good joke you are making right there

No official results have been published. We will only see something official in 2015.

Bullshit. Prove it. You have no evidence. Even the US gov has shut up about this.

Anticipating this was mercilessly beat into my head

I've actually used Google Apps Script to take certain emails with certain labels (aka: web receipts) to save them as a PDF to my Google Drive. I then use Hazel to move them to my external HDD. Pretty awesome automated way to get receipts to a universal format on my HDDs.

Unrelated, I know. But still, it pretty much…

Work/Life balance myth #1: Most people enjoy their job.

Greg Egan, "Permutation City". He also came up with the idea that if the server was turned off, it would make NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL because the entire simulation, beginning to end, being entirely deterministic, was implied by the initial conditions.

Blendtec makes a product just for these scenarios.

Here's another can of worms. "I use nix. I'm golden. " :-)

What about, "I use a Mac so I don't have to worry about virus or malware."

I've had clients get hit with "drive by" malware. No "sketchy" sites or downloading involved. IMO, the major risk on legit sites is the advertising (bad actors manage to get their payloaded ads accepted). So, if you're not going to use anti-anything, block all those ads, use noscript if you can.

Walking into a stinky bathroom after a deposit has been made is one of the things that makes human beings resilient. When will this coddling end? Embrace the fact that we make a bathroom stink, and grow stronger as you abide the stench of the previous user. It's all part of humanity's curse, and humanity's…
