And yet you still don’t have a nationally agreed on set of roadsigns, consistent font, nor consistent colouration - meanwhile even though Europe hates itself we’ve been using the same international set of signs* since the 1960s.
-* okay, so there’s one split; some places use blue-and-white directional arrows, and others use white-and-black, but there’s a reason for that: Southern Europe is weird.
Dat no lie.
I was trying to respond to Force10 in a way that showed I failed at reading comprehension.
Sign outside a local pub: “Alcohol. Because no good time ever started with a salad.”
Perhaps, but too many bad times have started because of alcohol.
… and don’t even get me started on the number of bad times that have started because of salad.
Makes one curious as to the meaning of “Salad Days”
Wow that was one heck of a party… woke up with croutons in my pockets, stinking of vinaigrette!

I got it - and thought it was funny 
Thank you, all it takes is one.
I got it as well, which is why I liked the post. 
Sometimes when the Chemo Brain is on heavy, I feel like the dude in Flowers for Algernon, and it makes me sad, and then I forget about the guy and I’m just sad and I don’t know why.
And that freaks me out… and then I’ll break out of the fog.
Why am I drinking a cup of semi-stale coffee? I don’t even like coffee all that much…
Yep. That’s it. Since I get up around 5, having the sleepies hit around 1 is just about right…
Get up at 6, sleepy at 2-3 for me. What sucks is a lot of days that’s go-to-work time for me now.
However, for a more amusing story back at the Old Job around 1999-2000 we had a UNIX admid who napped for an hour or two nearly every day. A lot of people you’d go “WTF?” and wonder why he still worked there, but this guy was extremely nice, always worked late (pretty much required for sysadmins, especially then), and covered the morning shift the other sysadmins didn’t want to do. Nice guy, and hopefully doing well.
Makes a change from the sysadmin at Sunderland University who would just nap whenever. The Dean was scared to fire him because the Dean knew nothing about computers, and the students wished he would be fired because he was a useless waste of space.
An example of his uselessness: I once saw him punch a £3,500 Mac Pro so hard it fell off the table and died. When I asked what was wrong he said that it wouldn’t install Sophos (which was, for some reason, still the security software used by the university. In 2010.) - when I looked at the DVD ROM it very clearly said For Microsoft Windows on it very, very visibly.
Also he didn’t seem to think that the video editing labs needed anything more than education-class iMacs. You know, the cheap ones. That didn’t have video cards. This was back in the nVidia GeForce 9400M on-mobo graphics. Can you imagine rendering 1080p raw to complete video on those? I don’t have to. I know how long it took. Roughly an hour per minute of film.
So yeah, that’s the opposite side of the coin.
Yeah, the only real issue with the guy I knew was that his cube was not exactly hidden away.
An acquaintance has an album Facebook titled “Jerry sleeps!” that’s full of photos of the guy in the cube across from him passed out in his desk chair.
I do genuinely worry about the current generation of computer users.
On the Paradox forums, a user was complaining that Cities Skylines ran excruciatingly slow on his Mac.
I ask him to post the specs for his Mac, and explain in plain English how to find them (I’m sure you can all guess what the System Menu “About This Mac” does ;)) and this was his reply:
I just… I asked for specs! Specs! Not the bloody form factor! Hey, what version of Windows are you running? Oh, okay, a Surface 3. Thanks. That answers all my questions.
Since reading through a whole plethora of Mac users who are playing on incapable machines, I decided to write a nice, concise post listing all the supported models of Mac graded by how well they will play the game. Aren’t I a lovely person?
