If it makes a difference to someone, yes. Otherwise I don't bother.

Don't you mean Eramicans?

Moist Ron in the dry US sounds terse

Limited joint range. I just thought that's as far as they went. It still freaks me out slightly when I see people using a normal range, as if they'd just turned their heads through 360° or bent their knees the wrong way.

Plot twist: NHTSA are the only people that approve new designs, so Tesla can't sell any more cars.

Well we can dream.

Well God is an alien, by definition.

Just because you can make phones with an army of cheap Chinese labour doesn't mean that's the only or best way. With suitable "design for manufacture", pick and place robots like those used in PCB design could relatively easily be adopted to screw screws in where needed. Use plugs instead of those flat cable things, then the whole lot could be easily automated. Remove any aspect of the design that needs fingers and the whole process can be automated.

It annoys the heck out of me too. Generally what I do is reply with the remaining questions they haven't answered; sometimes they get the message and answer all of them, sometimes we go round and round until I have all the answers I need.

I work in IT so for the most part, if I have 5 questions, that's because there are 5 things I need to know. And I need to know because they want me to solve their problem, so if they want to do this one question at a time that's fine, but if I start out going one at a time I get complained at for being too slow.

I've also tried everything I can think of short of being explicitly rude in my messages. Numbering them doesn't work. Bullet-points don't work. One question per paragraph doesn't work. Asking them explicitly to answer all questions doesn't work (how did these people ever pass an exam?).

(And yes I'm aware I haven't answered all your questions (-: )

I wonder if "pete" drew those sad faces himself or if they were computer generated.

Two. The first is that I can make traffic lights turn green within 5 seconds of putting the car in Park.

Secondly and perhaps more usefully, there's a computer Problem Exclusion Zone around me. I can just stand next to a misbehaving computer, not looking at the screen and with my hands in my pockets, and it'll start working properly.

None, because I don't live in a country with an orange moron at the helm.

Breakfast cereal

Do it. Who cares what girls think! But if you're trying to attract one then maybe wait a bit before showing her the dumb shit you like doing with your mates.

Funny I was just wondering the other day if companies that practice vibe programming also practice vibe management.

Is that a really big fork or a really small cat?

(Questions I never thought I'd ask #327.)

These are the lyrics Lennon rejected.

Not knowing the ASL prompt casts some doubt on your claim to remember the internet back then. Knowing someone's age, sex and location was some useful context even if dating wasn't the aim.

I wiped it after I left my last job so there's next to nothing on it anyway now. They did give me a laptop but due to a stupid conflict between the AV and VPN one of the processor threads was maxed out causing the fan to run on full noise mode all the time.

My laptop still works perfectly well so if Microsoft don't want to support it any more then I'll bung Linux on it. I've already got my Mint stick ready, just need to get round to it.

It is a fucking stupid question. I'm supposed to invent some horse shit about why this is an awesome company that I specifically chose, and simply being truthful "you're recruiting and I need a job" isn't acceptable.
