They are great for ambient noise based on the surroundings. You can also do one or two 'instant' sounds like a large door booming. Any more than that and it starts to feel like a radio dj testing all the fart sounds in their mixer.

That last line is one reason we're able to fish successfully. Even large fish tire out because they can't pull enough oxygen from the water to struggle forever.

Great game. I like that you aren't generally allowed to talk, so everyone ends up with their own conflicting plans.

For once I am actually happy I turned the sound on.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

That looks great. How did get such good adhesion? My bed is super uneven so I switched to glass and had incredible results, but I have to babysit the first few layers because 50% of the prints are wrapped around the nozzle by the end.

I had to preheat for 20 minutes when I was using a glass bed. Took ages but the results were so smooth.

Yeah, it was all tapes. We only had to use them once when I worked there: after finding out the UPS connected to the mainframe was a dud. And then it really was roulette because the first two tapes were unreadable, so we ended up with three week old data.

The trouble is that Management's only job seems to be turning their problems into our problems. Or maybe it's just the only thing they're good at.

I'd believe it's real. In 2016 I was at a company trying to migrate off an old IBM mainframe and green screens. It wasn't like an airline with complex or critical code; it was just a barely functional ERP for a warehouse. Source control was the furthest thing from their minds. Some companies and IT departments are very reluctant to change, regardless of how much time and money it save.

It gets worse if you use Microsoft D365 AX products. Then you have to provision an entire Build server for builds which has to run Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. To do a build you run a pipeline in Azure DevOps, which runs the compiler in a full Visual Studio 2019 environment, which has to run on a special Azure virtual environment running Windows 10 hosted by Microsoft. It's so fragile.

 

I saw an article about keelhauling and realized I don't know much about pirates (those on the sea, not the internet) beyond what I've seen in movies. Tell me your most interesting pirate facts. Mythical or historical.
