“What one programmer can do in one month, two programmers can do in two months.”

If you woke up with stilts on one day wouldn’t you be confused? Seems self-evident that ants would be too. Like, “I don’t remember going to bed with stilts on, wtf man, what was I on last night?”

Everything he says sounds like it’s being said by someone taking an oral test on a topic they know nothing about and have never studied but their gigantic and undeserved ego won’t allow them to admit their total and complete ignorance on the subject at hand.

That’s easy, just create new accounts every time you login.

In the recent Musk biography it was said that at some point after a meeting with NASA he changed his laptop password to “ilovenasa” so you’re not far off in terms of terrible password security if the story is accurate.

That’s just ridiculous, goofy, supercilious, absurd, laughable, comical, ludicrous, chucklesome, and risible.

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.

Watched this over the Christmas break. The best review I had read from someone else was from a post on Lemmy that said something to the effect of “if you set up a TV to play 10 generic sci-fi movies and just changed the channel between them allrandomly you’d end up with a film as cohesive as Rebel Moon.”

Even with just one bit and a few switches this seems like the sort of thing Picard could use to send an encoded message to Riker and Data in the future should the need arise.

I sort of happened to me once. I created an image and posted it eons ago (2006), got a few laughs, then promptly forgot about it. A few years later, like five years after the fact, I was following along with a PowerPoint presentation at some work thing and there was my image in the middle of it. Apparently the image had become an office favourite and ended up spawning a bunch of similar images, then t-shirts, coffee mugs, posters, all sorts of things. I started seeing the image in things like the documentation for Google Charts, and in other presentations. It was weird. The image blew up and I had zero idea it had happened. It spread via Boing Boing and Wil Wheaton, believe it or not.

I can only take credit for the image itself, as the joke itself came from a magazine I had read at a dentists office.

So yeah, I can totally see it happening, ‘cause it borderline-happened to me.

My wife and I both have Scottish ancestry. Turns out there’s a chance a clan I descended from may have nearly genocided a clan she descended from, and if they had completed the job back in the day there’s a good chance she wouldn’t have been born. A few from her clan were let go to spread the word to others to not fuck around, and she’s descended from one of them.

Next episode: completely forgets about the incredibly traumatic, horrifying incident and never mentions it again and is never plagued by even a hint of post-traumatic stress.
