I should be so lucky. <checks photos from 25th Anniversary last year> Oh wait. I am.

Because most other game developers would have crapped out the initial project and moved on.

Coworker of mine was handling hardware returns for our main data center. There were two issues with this: It wasn't his job and he never told anyone about it. Work fired him during his vacation because they saw he wasn't completing his assignments, but never asked him for reasons.

Six months later, the company got hit with over 200k in service plan renewals for hardware we no longer used.

I don't know about crashing, but Grindr has always seen spikes at RNC and CPAC events. This gets brought up every time there's an event.

It's like the whole "Pentagon Pizza Meter" thing.

I see the raccoon and all I think is this.

Internet? That's enough humanity. We had a... run. Time to burn it all down.

Cops and work trucks. Both drive around constantly and eat lunch on the road. My family uses this trick when travelling in the US, it has not let us down.

My father had a workbench drawer marked "Pieces of Wire Too Short to Use."

Mind you, he was an electrician.

There was a post a few weeks ago referring to seals as "300kg cats with the emotional stability of a toddler and the morals of a seagull."

So... yeah.

I remember being the server guy who had to stay late on Fridays and remove access at 6pm.

I got a panicked call from someone who couldn't save the file he was working on. It was for a project set to go live on Tuesday.

I had to break it to him that he was just let go.

But if they didn't, we wouldn't have the visual warning.

My "newer model" wouldn't be a D-Link.

Every accusation a confession.

I have trained my children from a young age that, in case of zombie outbreak or alien invasion, I am to be left behind. I require far too many medications to function in a post-apocalyptic setting.

They meant what they said. It's Texas- they seem far more afraid of women's issues than explosives.

Not sure what's up with your feed, but mine is... not that.

As a boss, I would demand some "as proof".

My wife's cat* hated me and I didn't see her for 9 months. She was an indoor cat.

*(We got two rescue cats the day after we moved into our house. It's not like I butted into a long relationship.)

I have long learned that pain/illness is not a competition. I wish you the best on your bad days.

"Muppet Christmas Carol" works because Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors.

"Muppet Treasure Island" works because Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow muppet.
