I had to tell her last year "No. We already have nine." You haven't made the spare parts into a fusion reactor yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My wife and I were singing Blitzkrieg Bop last night -- but as though it were being performed on the Lawrence Welk Show. Now I can't hear the song normal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a particularly precocious 8 year old. I definitely knew the whole time. I definitely didn't make that connect right now when you pointed it out. Definitely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight database tables, 12 views, and 30 Java classes. "But they should be fine, they don't impact anything." Great, I was hoping to spend my week preparing the deployment of 50 untested code artifacts that provide no value to anyone. Guess who's code isn't getting deployed this week? Developer war stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
