If it's a grandma it's going to have to have enough RAM to hold the 984 Chrome tab she assists on having open at any one time. It's going to need at least a terabyte of RAM.

Yeah but that's the point it's an arbitrary distinction. People somewhere make an arbitrary distinction about what people can and cannot do.

The gun nuts would go mad if the Constitution were changed but only because it's an inconvenience to themselves. If the Constitution said you couldn't have guns and it were changed so you could, they'd be all for that. So it's not actually about the Constitution, it's mostly about themselves.

So is it, go dot, god oh, or gu doh

The longest I've ever stayed in one job is my current job. Which is currently rocking in on 2 and 1/2 years now. The second longest was 18 months. I'm not old enough to have decades worth of experience I don't know what they want.

Oh for those really short contracts I just make dates up. I can never remember when I started and finished. I just look at the calendar and make sure I started on a Monday and finished on a Friday and it's roughly within the right time range. Never been called out on it.

I know for a fact that none of my references have ever been contacted for a reference. I have my old university professor is one of my contacts because at the time I was applying for jobs I didn't have any other possible references I'd had no prior work experience.

Anyway I never got round to actually be removing his name and a few years ago he contacted me to tell me he was retiring (I don't know why he felt the need to tell me this), I asked him if anybody had ever asked him to provide a reference and he said no one had ever contacted him about it for me, or anyone else who'd put him down.

I always like to point out that outside of the US, Jiff means drain cleaner, although maybe that's just a commentary on the quality of the peanut butter. Although frankly it doesn't make the acronym any less ridiculous.

I was going to say I like the outcome of LaTeX, far more than the experience of actually setting the outcome up.

I noticed this with my parents.

All my dad ever sent me pictures of is architecture. Or a tank, he also likes a good tank.

I have no end of pictures on my phone of funny looking houses in Austria or somewhere.

I'm definitely not at the golf club while I write this.

I mean I would probably categorise myself as a bit of a workaholic but even I'm not that dedicated.

What's he do on Sundays? You can never get anything done on Sundays even if you want to. Everybody else has a social life and is busy experiencing it, so they're not processing orders, or completing paperwork. Which by extension means there is sod you can do as well.

You may as well go outside.

Yeah but she's not a minor.

This comment section is very confusing.

Technically I'm micro retire as soon as I log into my computer and then spend half an hour getting a coffee.

How do you attack future girlfriends? I would love to know who my future girlfriends are going to be I need this technology.

That'll do pig

No but I bet he flew on one at some point, so it's all linked.

Stone cold take. Let's face it if he weren't in those files he would have released them. He has no loyalty to anyone else so he wouldn't care about protecting them.

But people can't buy whatever they want. I can't buy drugs, but I would like to. So clearly simply wanting to buy something isn't enough. So why are gun suppressors an exception?

They also make the tired old claim that it's immune to Windows viruses. Well yeah it's immune to the windows versions of those viruses but there are plenty viruses for Linux and obviously Mac as well.

I get quite annoyed about this claim everyone seems to make where they claim that because you run and non-windows OS you're suddenly immune to viruses.

I think the photo is quite old though so it was a little more true back then maybe. But it's definitely not a statement I would make today.

That's probably okay if all you want to do is browse the web.

But with an Intel celeron you're not going to get very far even if you do have a more efficient operating system.
