There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

  • Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
    There should be a hard upper limit on wealth somewhere around the $100 million mark.
    An amount where you can still invest your money risk-free at ~1% above inflation and live a life of plenty without lifting a finger, forever.
    Any property, company, or thing in general worth more than $100 million should never be owned by one person alone.




  • Yeah, just read that their newest server OS puts a recovery partition to the right of the primary partition by default.
    Which is completely useless on a server, and prevents you from growing the partition when you run out of space.

    At this point, they’re basically saying “Office and AD guarantee our monopoly, so we can push out literal monkey shit, and tell admins to deal with it.”




  • At my first and only job involving SQL, the dev database was also the (only) backup.
    The company was so cheap, only 2 people could log onto the server at a time, yet there were 5 admins that needed access.
    (so they saved a few thousand on licenses, at the expense of half the employees sitting idle at any time, and getting frustrated.





  • Birdemic - Shock and Terror

    Absolutely everything about this movie is so bad you feel second hand embarassment for the filmmaker.
    The atrocious sound quality,
    The cringy acting
    The even more cringy writing
    The 3 chords of “music” that are repeated all throughout as soundtrack
    The heavy-handed preachy message
    The special effects, the pacing, just…everything is as bad as it can be in a movie.

    Part 4 is coming out next year.

    My local bar is tended by a software engineer. It’s only open on Saturday evening cause he does it besides his day job.
    But it’s great cause he does it for the love of mixing cocktails, and introducing people to great drinks from all around the world.

    And he obviously doesn’t really need the money, cause when you show an interest, most drinks are on the house.
    He uses a pencil, paper and a mechanical calculator to tally up the bill, which I absolutely understand when your career is in IT.
