I actually watched that again a few years ago when I started coaching my daughter's soccer team. It honestly holds up fairly decently for a 90s movie dealing with gender. However, Rodney Dangerfield totally carried that movie himself.
I had the opposite experience once. In England you have to stop at crosswalks if there is someone there. I got stuck for a good 10-15 one time by a steady stream of pedestrians leaving some sort of touristy place.
I get Japanese being its own little chunk due to their isolationist views for so long. But Turkish is surprising given how they were basically the gateway between Europe and Asia for so long.
As an avid Boost user for years, I've been using Connect because it was billed as the closest thing to Boost. However, now that Boost is out I've found myself sticking with Connect. I've just grown to love the look and feel of it.
I saw a really good demonstration of this once, but I can't seem to find a video of it.
Basically imagine a rubber tube with 4 balls equal distance apart from each other.
--0--0--0--0--
If you stretch the tube from both ends all of the balls move an equal distance apart.
----0----0----0----0----
There is no one ball that is the center or the starting point. However if you focus on one ball while stretching it will seem like the others are moving away from it. But in reality they are all moving away from each other at the same rate.
I guess that tells you everything you need to know about that game. They literally had to give it away. But I would have loved for a subscription to Nintendo Power.
And now Azure DevOps has completely been forgotten about. I was setting up an web app in Azure and it gave me the option to do continuous integration from GitHub, but not Azure DevOps.
Josh and Chuck are national treasures. The amount of consistently good content they have made over the years is unparalleled. Even when there is a topic I think I couldn't give two craps about, they still make it an enjoyable listen.
To me that was the ultimate example of how the news blows shit out of proportion just to keep people engaged. Like once something actually scary came along that shit got dropped. Just like the killer bees in the 90s. Living in Texas, I was convinced that I could be swarmed and killed at any moment.
I had to extend the boot drive on a VM that also happened to run the application our entire company used to make products. This was back in the day when extending VM drives took forever because of the way the hypervisor worked. I only had a small window to do this between our Europe plants going offline and the US plants starting up.
So I used a community tool that would extend the drive in seconds. Turn the VM back on and queue "NTLDR is missing". I also discovered that the backups for that server hadn't completed successfully in so long there was nothing to restore from. In my effort to save 30-45 minutes, cost me 8 hours completely rebuilding the server and a day of lost production in the US plants.
Holy crap, this could be a game changer for me. I live in an area with a ton of highway interchanges, so it not uncommon to get directs that say in 5 mile stay left on road XYZ, then right after that, it like exit right in .0001 miles. So, I'm always scrolling up on the map to see what's really coming up.
Day 5947, please let me retire before I hit 60
