I always hated "Error: No Error Has Occurred"

Mainly because it had no button to close or acknowledge, so you had to reset your machine.

Nowadays, I just have 'moody cats'.

I have a stainless steel bottle, 40oz. I have never seen what you are asking.

Taken - Liam Neeson

Exactly.

I remembered a worse time (than being the one who kills access):

One of my vendors had won the contract that my company currently held with an automaker. It was told to me in confidence, as they thought it was going to be announced later that month. I was also told because they were looking to hire me to keep all the day-to-day knowledge.

It was finally announced... EIGHT. MONTHS. LATER.

While I never said anything (it could have tucked a major deal and got myself and a few others in legal hot water), I was always quick to counsel my underlings to move to other positions or get jobs somewhere else.

I still run a fantasy football league from my first corporate job back in the 90s. None of us are at the company anymore.

With my access in my last job, I could have crippled the company with 5 minutes notice.

It's horribly passive-aggressive, but it is safest for the company.

My brother was on the list of names once.

I was not allowed to tell him, but HR let me take off that day and had someone else do it.

I remember being the server guy who had to stay late on Fridays and remove access at 6pm.

I got a panicked call from someone who couldn't save the file he was working on. It was for a project set to go live on Tuesday.

I had to break it to him that he was just let go.

Amazing!

Not sure what's up with your feed, but mine is... not that.

Horta. Didn't it have magma inside it?

Wildsea and Metro:Otherscape over here.

The ends of both earbuds are a singular panel that clicks. Click once to fo "A", double click for "B", etc.

I set mine up so a single click will start/stop media. It will also answer or close phone calls.

Even mediocre Beets earbuds have physical "click panels". I've used mine in the Upper Peninsula at -18F with gloves, hood, and ear covers.

There is nothing wrong with instant coffee.

I enjoy dissolving it in a small amount of cold water before adding the hot water.

For an interesting drink, whisk equal parts cold water, sweetener, and instant coffee until it makes a tan foam (hand brother works great for this) in your mug. Add cold or heated milk and stir.

He also had a drawer labeled "Plastic Shark" that contained one of my old toy sharks.

My father had a workbench drawer marked "Pieces of Wire Too Short to Use."

Mind you, he was an electrician.
