  • It's funny, I've watched Honnold rip on that guy. He (Honnold) considered climbing buildings to be way easier than cliff climbing because it's basically the same move over and over again. But now Honnold is doing the same shit.

  • I can't even find my own real apps, let alone Magic Text Box.

  • which would never happen because I have decency and morals

    I would never be in the trump circle of corruption not only because I have decency and morals but also because trump's type of person is just so fucking awful to be around on a personal level. Those people are just so boring and stupid in addition to being evil. If I knew I was going to have to spend the rest of my life only socializing with them -- even if millions of dollars came along with it -- I would just kill myself.

  • The shared open office thing is pretty much why I quit the profession. I don't know what's wrong with most people, but I need peace and fucking quiet in order to code effectively.

  • I used to work at the Comcast Center in Philly and I randomly ended up working on one of the higher floors where about three-quarters of all the offices were empty. I spent my days alone in a huge corner office that had a perfect view of a battleship. Somehow during this run Comcast was building a second office tower two blocks away because the Comcast Center was supposedly stuffed to the gills. The reality was that it was stuffed to the gills with Indian contractors down on the lower floors and the corporate leadership wanted them out.

  • At my first job as a programmer I had a full old-fashioned desk. Unfortunately it was in the server room which was kept at 58°F. The servers didn't actually need to be at that temperature any more and I sure as fuck didn't need to be at that temperature since I was writing desktop apps, but that was how that company had been doing things for literally decades. I had to wear a hat and motherfucking Oliver Twist fingerless gloves all day.

  • Free speech!

  • I got banned for racism ... for making fun of a non-existent race. And the whole point of my comment was to mock racism itself.

  • I'm scared as fuck of heights but once in a while I torment myself watching videos of Alex Honnold, a freak of a human being who likes to do shit like free soloing El Cap. Watching him do crazy shit is actually kind of soothing, except for one time when he finished a climb on a slope like what these goats are on. It was basically like steps about 1" deep and a foot high; nothing to grab onto, he just had to stay leaned slightly in to the wall to keep from falling off. And I guess hope no wind sprung up. Just terrifying.

  • One of my cats vanished on New Year's Eve one year, because my idiot friend who came to pick me up left the door open for ten minutes when he showed up. I was distraught and spent New Year's Day driving around the neighborhood and calling for her. Turned out she was just hiding under the house and she came running back in that night and never went near the door ever again.

  • pro wrestling is just drag for people who are afraid of cross-dressers

    That was '80s hair metal.

  • It's a bit difficult to directly compare the popularity of the different major sports when they play such vastly different numbers of games each year (17+ for pro football, 82+ for pro basketball and 162+ for pro baseball).

  • I borrowed a friend's MBA textbook once for laughs. The most memorable quote was in the chapter on negotiating: "your skill at negotiation will affect the outcome of the negotiations."

  • I used to write and sell shareware circa 2000. I got annoyed at cracked versions of my software showing up without fail a day or two after I released stuff, so one time I wrote and released an app named "Magic Text Box" which was nothing but a form with a big text box on it. It didn't do anything at all and it didn't even have any kind of protection on it. Two days later somebody released a cracked version of it. To this day I still do not understand how that person had nothing better to do.

  • any failures in autonomy immediately engage a tele-operator

    One of the problems is that these "failures in autonomy" could include a failure to engage a tele-operator when one is needed.
