I can either go to the groceries after some specific items, when I'll run erratically through every aisle until I find them all, or to "do groceries", when I'll run methodically through every isle browsing each product and deciding if I want it or not.

Well... If Kafka wrote it today, this could as well be the story.

At least he'll get the chance to text his parents before he shows up on the kitchen.

The restaurant has exactly the average quality of everybody that cooks.

Not of restaurant chefs or people good at cooking. Everybody that cooks.

Some declarations terminate on the name, other declarations go one requiring more tokens. In C, the only thing that differentiates them is the type.

Parenthesis in particular are completely ambiguous. But asterisks and square brackets also create problems.

Well, always remember that roosters are omnivores and really vicious hunters...

Good, now invent a keyword for variables you don't want to declare the type. And now that you have a mix of keywords and identifiers on the same place, you can never update your language again.

Also, make the function declarations not use a keyword too, so you get the full C-style madness of code that changes meaning depending on what libraries you import.

Even older variants required both a let to declare the variable and a dim to set its size.

I remember a REDIM command, but I really can't remember what basic it's from.

If you are hired to sit at meetings, not adding value to them is indeed a very severe issue.

To translate the sibling, the third one is where it would tell you how dangerous the substance is for you. But it's keeping its secrets.

Well, approximated to some extent, yes.

Well, that's a first. The usual way is for Windows to break the Linux install every time it does anything.

And now interplanetary percussive maintenance is a thing too.

I still don't know if the OP was complaining that she stops the phone from charging beyond 80% or that she insists on charging even when it's already 80% charged.

I imagine the black dots are pepper.

But yeah, it's hard to tell in an image.

Hum... I only disagree on that it looks like the entire reason Israel is attacking is that Netanyahu isn't firmly in power.

If Israel starts getting seriously hit, I'd expect him to fall. But the consequences of that can go both ways.

Windows users: Windows work just fine, nobody asked you!

And then proceed to make another dozen of memes with problems even more annoying than this.

You'd be surprised.

But seriously, numbers can be used as booleans in an impressive number of languages. Including machine code for almost every machine out there.

It's called "shut up and calculate"

Besides, the waterfall style is that you get the perfect car... eventually... or rather, tomorrow, tomorrow you read this again and check if it's the day you'll get your car.

Nope. The requirements were always the same, and you are as far from them right now as you were at the beginning.
