This is not intended as simply a "citation needed" response.. The earliest case I remember is from the Mac OS 7.5 T shirt:

How the !@$ do I make "-a" default for commit? The fact that it's NOT the default is one of the !@$!@$!@ confusing things about git.

(git is more difficult/confusing than svn which is more difficult/confusing than cvs.. and no, cvs wasn't the first source repository I ever used.. if svn truly was "a better cvs" like it claimed, without the huge URLs, I'd say it was undeniably better.)

Umm, no, you're not actually agreeing with me..

I'd love to have a ping pong table & pinball machine(s). (We actually used to have a ping pong table, and the group probably still has it, there's just no room for it.)

I *totally* wish I got the famous perks from other high tech companies.. But the one perk I *do* get is the office with a door.

Huh? The free drinks & free food don't extend your work day.. They could *in theory* shorten it.. (e.g. half hour on site free lunch vs hour long go out to lunch).

Other ways to goof off, yeah, that _could_ lengthen one's day if they abuse it.

(BTW, I don't get that free stuff that FB and google, etc., get, but I do have an office with a door.. I'm definitely jealous of that free stuff you mention, but *don't* want to work out in an open room with a zillion people.)

I know he says a "NES version of the chip" later, but saying 6502 then variant later is confusing.. (Just like the 2600 doesn't use a 6502, it uses IIRC a 6509.)

The NES uses:

So the Christian Right in America are terrorists then, plain and simple.

They seek to deny people access to things which don't match their religion, they expect to force their beliefs on everybody, and they feel god is on their side. And they seek to use their religion as an excuse to deny freedoms to other people.

But for the most part, they *aren't* currently going out and killing other people en masse.

This is the only one of the April Fool's posts I thought was funny.

Which Homedepot is that, here in Virginia they are $8.97

I go to the link, and I see $9.97.

I wonder if the original poster is getting local power company/state subsidies baked into the Home Depot price (maybe Home Depot can get the subsidy based on their sales). I know I can get $8/bulb subsidy for a couple of them (and yes, I realize that is just other people's money).

Wait, do you really pay $1.83/gallon for milk? The best sale price I see (store brand) is low $3s.. I knew there was a special CA milk pricing thing, but this article says that CA milk is _cheaper_ than other states, so that makes it even more mysterious..

Yeah, which ones are you talking about? Not 60W equivalents?

By that argument then, a candy bar should make you sated. But it doesn't (despite Snickers' commercials), I'd say at least partially due to the small volume component.

Does not stave off hunger?

You do realize that at least some "feeling full" is literally physically filling your stomach, right?

While yes, different foods fill one up differently, a can of soup that has only 160 calories in it can fill me up for a while.

I agree with you in general, but I think it's fairly easy to leadfoot it *unintentionally* and go fast, especially on big open freeways.

Actually, it seems easier in my electric car (smart electric, one of the wimpiest ones), because I'd at least notice the higher revving of the engine in a gas car, even in a high gear.

Well, see, that's part of the problem.. I don't "cook".

Though admittedly once in a while something I eat (like a few kinds of soup I like), the meat isn't really all that necessary.. But for the most part, the meat is often the most interesting flavor/texture of the whole thing, even if it obviously is a small portion overall.

Why the fuck do you need select people BEFORE you've even proven you can put robots on the planet.

So you can pipeline training the people with the robot work?

(Don't get me wrong, plenty else seems scammy..)
