I, as a fledgling woodworker, was able to make my own board with some guidance from a friend. It's definitely a rewarding and educational project! Plus it makes a nice wall decoration when not in use. I used Purple Heart wood for the edges, which looks gorgeous but was difficult to work with. It took a few days of 3-4 hour blocks, due to a busy schedule, so a more experienced woodworker should be able to do one pretty easily.

I've had to introduce this to my friends at work. Where I sit, I can't have my phone with me. So sometimes it'll take me four tries to leave the room, grab my phone, and actually remember to do the thing that I meant to do. Usually I get back to my desk after doomscrolling for a few minutes and remember.

I have no answer to your question, but I'm so glad this word exists so that it can call me out and hurt me.

I try to forget ClearCase.

It haunts my nightmares.

When we were migrating to git, some of the more senior engineers came up with a workflow that was described as "the best implementation of ClearCase in git that I've ever seen". It was meant as a compliment.

Meanwhile my coworkers refuse to run googletest tests in random orders, because their tests all rely on being run in the "right" order and affect global data...

If I had a nickel for every time WotC tried to change the OGL and the community got pissed, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!

(The first time is what gave us Pathfinder 1e in the first place, for those who don't know - they took D&D 3.5e, under the OGL 1.0, and made modifications and continued its spirit)

This amuses me way more than it should. I'm just picturing a scrummage getting so chaotic that nobody notices for a good minute.

It's how I instinctively pronounced it, because I recognized it as being Esperanto-adjacent, so...

It's honestly one of the most quotable movies I've ever seen. So many iconic lines - "She doesn't even go here", "It's October Third", the entire clique lunch room joke, "Get in loser we're going shopping", "I can't. I'm sick.", literally anything that Karen says...

The musical version also has some great songs like Meet The Plastics

My favorite example of an issue like this (the Scunthorpe problem) is from the mobile game Kingdom Hearts Unchained X. In it, players used Medals based around Disney characters, including experiment 626. However, for a long time after the game's release, players were unable to say that name in chat, because it got rendered as s***ch

Me: "Oh I'm pretty good at Net, this should be easy" Two hours later I finally finish the 40x40.

Thank you and I hate you. I've infected my friends with this.

Also, since we're bragging about scores: 39s for the 5x5 wrapping, but I'll definitely be coming back to this.

They wouldn't even tell me what I had supposedly done wrong when they terminated my account, and said that they investigated the claim and upheld the termination... That is, when they eventually responded.

I had to make a new account and set all the servers and such back up.

There is such a thing in masto.host, though I haven't used it personally.
