@freemo ha. what about "jiras" for JIRA issues. we have a lot of these.
any of your coworkers call unit tests written with JUnit "junits" (or equiv for any xUnit framework). i wonder if it's just one of those things specific to my workplace or if a lot of people do this.

Reminder that you can still see images from a planet millions of miles away being posted from the #Perseverance #Mars rover over here: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/#
The #reviewmeta guy is looking to step down and pass on the site. I really hope he's able to find a good site admin. The problem of fake reviews still exists, and it has gotten even trickier, especially when you take into account paid reviewers. Although, allegedly, such reviewers are disclosing that they receive the products for free, aggregate data like star ratings can obscure the influence of paid reviews.

Playing around with Wolfram Alpha has taught me that there are some really nice alternative interpretations of units.
The temperature outside is 2.647×10-5 kiloelectronvolts per Boltzmann constant.
I see I'm not the only one who was digging the Joan and Randy superhero duo😆

@niconiconi and we all know rabbits are the most evil of creatures. GPT-3 had you on some dark sh*t😆
@niconiconi funny. it kinda just forgets about the whole "you built a language model" place it started at. one of the most fascinating things about GPT-3 is it's captured the sort-of narrative transition of writing, but it's products always seem to lack a central point or message
Heard this one today:
"You can edit a bad page; you can't edit a *blank* page."
You'll say it's nostalgia, but The Amanda
Show had some legitimately funny bits https://archive.org/details/Episode2_201905
@InvaderXan I'm more interested in the things an immortal doesn't know. there was a clever film about a guy who claims he's immortal among a gathering of friends and they spend the evening trying to find out if he's crazy, just having a laugh, or the real deal. he just had a normal human memory though, so he found out about major events in his life from history books and documentary

Game development: the best worst hobby.
Like creating your own worlds, and doing lots of complicated things yourself with only a loose understanding of how it's going to all fit together?
Love to spend long hours making complex assets and realizing that your character can still only pick up his paycheck at the grocery store?
Have badass ideas about fantasy worlds and unique game mechanics, but struggling to get some text to properly render on a rectangle in the right way?
GAME DEVELOPMENT MIGHT BE FOR YOU
