Grass, famously, does not die when it’s cut. In fact to some degree, grass benefits from being grazed on, as grazers in a meadow will eat everything - leaving grass that is ready to grow back quickly, and severely harmed weeds and shrubs that will either die or be significantly set back while the grass quickly overshadows it.

Your code can compile while you’re in a retro, retrospectively looking back at the action items raised in a previous retro but not assigned any sprint time in the current sprint so you just raised a “what went wrong” about it not being planned and now you have more non-sprint work to do because every problem should be presented with a solution and if you could have that for the next retro they’ll review this retro’s action items and see if you have a proposal for fixing retro action items

I’m not sure what you interpret from the words “policy changes” but they dont usually refer to a weird feeling.

Vibes. Got it.

Bizarre questions like this make me more confident my blocklist is working

Raped some native girl and then… took custody of the child?

Yep, it has big “just don’t be depressed” energy

Where else would you succinctly say the Weddell sea is?

Are kids today so Vine-brained they don’t understand headline syntax? The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica.

This is a game from the 90s my dude. Java was “The portable language”.

Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.

Angela Collier completes a nice Venn diagram of (making me feel like I’m) learning stuff, righteous anger, and being a person with a face who isn’t some new media production studio

“I know, but I wanted people to see it”

This type of behaviour is bannable on platforms with functioning moderation

It’s a comment made by a person who lives in a country where in living memory a small spark of resistance led to the eventual defeat of the most powerful empire on Earth.

“Almost impossible”.

Sorry guys we didn’t want fascism but the alternative was just, like, hard.

If only there were some unique way in which Americans were better prepared than most populations to deal with quickly resisting and overthrowing a tyrannical government.

Oh well.

In what sense was that not clear

Yeah ok bud, I’ll let the Swiss know they can stop pretending to be a country now that France, Germany and Italy are unlikely to subsume them.

It is absolutely a foundation. Foundations dry and even crack but that doesn’t bring the whole house down if you’ve built something on it. Which in Switzerland’s case is insane rent (to keep the Italians out), mass armament (to keep the Germans out), watch making (to keep the French out), and cowbells (to keep one specific Dutch woman out).
