Club Mate. Not too sweet, loads of caffeine and looks cool.

Also, you can feel superior to the plebs that don't understand the complex "wet ashtray" flavors.

Sometimes natural lights comes in at "uncomfortable" angles or simply leaves some corners relatively dark.

So the artificial light acts as a counter light to reduce shadows and create a more even lighting.

On the other hand: most cars are not moved 23h a day. They just stand around.

A lightweight solar panel could be a worthwhile range extender in at least some climates.

Yeah, no.

You can almost always add more layers, so unless we're talking about literally Siberia in winter, you should be fine.

But if it's too warm for shorts and shirt, there's nothing I can do. I can't run around naked or remove my skin (not in an easily reversible manner at least).

I would suspect, hardly anyone who knows how to do that is stupid enough to do it.

Most modems/ISP routers are relatively secure by default.

Show me a single person that uses these tools exclusively and does not care about updating their machine.

And even then: ssh does have vulnerabilities. Email clients also usually render HTML, which means they have a browser engine under the hood.

• “How do lesbians have physical fun time?”

Ok, that one I don't understand.

It takes line 10s of adult research to find a whole range of possibilities.

Many women seem to assume that penis and balls are attached actually between the legs, just like where their vaginas are. They are surprised, if they're told, the whole assembly is actually more "at the front".

The reverse is also true, BTW. A lot of boys struggle finding the vagina because from their perspective it's waaay too low.

We barely understand our own bodies, it's not surprising that we have problems with other sexes bodies.

Jet pee can't melt steel bike frames!

They re-invent everything for no reason. Every mundane device has been "re-invented" using big data, blockchain, VR, now AI and in a few years probably quantum-something.

The entire tech world fundamentally ran out of ideas. The usual pipeline is basic research > applied research > products, but since money only gets thrown at products, there's nothing left to do research. So the tech bros have to re-iterate on the same concepts again and again.

Summary: nothing of value

None of the things you mentioned were in my description. You made that up completely. I talked about meetings, no scheduling information.

She's not entitled to asking multiple times day if you're done yet.

Did I even imply that? No. You made that up.

I work above senior, have done management and tech lead.

Hearing only what you want, not what the other person said makes you almost perfect management material.

Seriously, look at my comments and your replies. You answered to a completely different reality.

Nah, I think you're mixing things up here.

"Toxic" is just a label you're putting on everything you don't like and you're also putting a ton of implications behind it.

If Stacy wants a feature, and she's the official representative, I need to clarify what that feature means. A manager can't shield me from having to research the technical implications, that's my job.

Also, you can ignore calls all you want, if there is a genuine need to communicate, you need to have that call at some point. That's actually your first point in the list above.

I think you never worked in a role above code grunt. As a senior developer, my job is to do all what I described above. I need to do all the technical legwork a manager can't. I need to write everything down. I need to get feedback from stakeholders. That's nothing a manager can do and that's nothing a junior can do.

I code something like half an hour a day.

uNuSeD rAm Is WaStEd RaM!!!

I feel like these memes of hating everything other than lone coding is because you keep working for toxic companies.

No, it's because we are working with humans and their deeply flawed organizations. As much as people hate corporations and love startups, both are always a mess. Every organization I've seen from the inside is barely functioning. Cruft, interpersonal conflicts, incompetence, or simply very bad market situations.

Software engineering kind of has to get involved with almost all of that. If you need to get approval from department A and Stacy just keeps changing what she wants, you'll have to carry that chaos into the development and it will usually percolate through half the engineering department, because hardly any interface is actually a stable attack surface. That means meetings, calls, meetings, reviews, meetings, and fucking Stephen again wants to pitch this weird framework he's so in love with, meetings, budget calls, because there's no way, simply changing the field length can take that much work, meetings, .....

And the new Teams is not simply a replacement, no. It's called "Teams (for work or school)" or something, while the old app is "Teams classic". Both look the same and are the same sluggish mess. So why exactly did we do all that crap?

Yes. The first woman that approached me in a club. I was a fat boy most of my life, lost a bunch of weight during university, but was still very very insecure due to trauma and some residual skin/fat.

She simply came up to me and said "Hi, I find you incredibly attractive." - very simple statement, but this was the first time I had seriously considered the possibility that a woman would be attracted to me.

Famous German dad joke: "Nach fest kommt ab" - after tight comes off.

If you wouldn't be such a reader and instead memorized things like God intended, you'd know, that this sentiment existed for at least 2000 years:

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Oh those poor fellows.
