Fight Nazis by random arson against random citizens property

Sure they're on the right side /s

When this happens, the mitochondria start burning sugars using oxygen as a fuel source

That's also (almost?) universal in human cancers

They make smaller chairs. Blame your employer for not buying sufficient variety. Also a proper ergonomic chair should be able to bring the back forward or the seat back

Or get a cushion to put behind you

That's every 10 minutes for looking at something far away

1985, Melbourne, Australia uses West Germany's anthem for Australia

Come on guys

I wonder if it was deliberate, in support of the country

Then again in 2008 with a rock song instead of Advance Australia Fair in an internal footy match

One of my mates goes to a chiro. The rest of us detail for him how our problems were helped by physios and they were fixed, and stayed fixed, while he needs to see a chiro every 3 months for just exactly the same problems

He describes himself as an idiot, and I believe him. He still goes to a chiro.

Australia has high respect for chiropractic because the King likes them, and when he was a prince he was pretty influential too. No idea why it would be popular outside the Commonwealth

It was genuine, in my workplace the only optimisation is for run time

I took Gray on productivity as a suggestion that those methods don't help you get stuff done

Though I do still use the Getting Things Done method for my work email

I dropped off his patreon when he changed it from per video to per month. I don't think he's made anything significant since the paper scissors rock set

Isn't that what you're optimising? Trying to reduce runtime by increasing CPU load

It's a fake teapot, you can't brew tea in it

Some people use the RGB to indicate system loads by colour, so they can have a visual indicator for when a long process finishes

Waterfall is much more expensive than any of the agile methods, even with good requirement gathering and management

I know several who preferred waterfall, but the system I work on is a giant government one and when we were doing waterfall we were in specialist teams working on a small part of the system

At the same time we went agile management also said "everyone can do everything" so we've had to work across the entire system

For the rocket analogy: we started building a rocket under waterfall, but when we went agile we also decided that the rocket motor specialists could also work on fuel tanks and heat shields

We recently saw waterfall versus agile in actual rockets

Blue Origin spent years meticulously designing their rocket. They tested it on the ground. On the first flight it got to orbit, but the first stage exploded while re-entering

SpaceX started building their rocket out of carbon fibre. Changed to stainless steel. Started flying subscale demos, flew high altitude full scale examples to find if their aerodynamics was right, and haven't actually tried for orbit yet

Blue Origin is trying for a last generation rocket (where the first stage is recovered) but bigger, SpaceX is trying to create the next generation where both stages are recovered

Also thank you for getting me to think on this, unless I'm challenged I often don't know how I came to an idea

In my experience DoD is too pithy to be a goal. DoD is things like all code checked in, all PBIs done. Sure you're trying to get your code finished, but your goal is more like add this functionality to the system rather than check in the code and close the PBIs

I read it as the start of sandstorm

That's just how you know when you've finished

There's only one extant human species and we don't know anything about soft tissue in extinct species of humans

Hair is pretty cool too
