Literally as we speak I'm waiting to hear back from QA about a production fix we rushed out at 4:50pm on a Friday. Surely this won't go terribly

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny It has a 53% on RT which isn't terrible but it bombed at the box office which it absolutely didn't deserve

I don't use a case, pretty much for exactly the same reasons mentioned in the old collegehumor video https://youtu.be/q4yIWg_LElc I gave up using a case several years ago and still have never had an issue

I use a nice handmade wooden desk every day. No idea how old it is but my mom bought it at an antique store in the 70's, so it could be 80+ years old. And it's still in fantastic shape!

Edit: I heard back from my mom and she said it's (supposedly) from the late nineteenth century, so it's way older than I thought!

That's not true, you can be legally deaf and still be able to hear (a bit), just like you can be legally blind and still be able to see (a bit)

This post reads like someone took a bunch of Adderall and went through Wikipedia for hours but didn't actually understand anything they read. Drink some water and get some sleep, bud.

I'll save you a click. The story has pretty much nothing to do with the "coding whiz", just a boring recollection of a guy's occasional work on a ship. The only reference to the coding whiz's inappropriate insult was

at work drinks he loudly asked the boss if he was still having an affair with a colleague – in front of the entire office and the boss's wife, who had come in for the occasion.

I think my personal favorite is Omnium Gatherum, but it has some ups and downs. Nonagon Infinity is pretty much flawless from top to bottom (and back to top)

 

Many English speakers apply what is known as a "hyperforeignism" to the Spanish word habanero, using an ñ to mimic other Spanish words like "jalapeño". This is not correct though, as "habanero" is named for the Cuban city Habana (or Havana in English).
