I saw a squirrel that had NO hair anywhere except for a little "soul patch" on its chin. Now, I'm a reasonably tolerant, modern, guy, and I understand that there is a current depilatory trend throughout society, but I feel that was taking it quite a bit too far. I think that squirrels look better if they keep at least a little fur...and soul patches are just hipster affectations.
I believe I can fly...

Is that a squiger or a tiurrel?
I can never keep those two straight.

I've been at this job for going on 3 weeks now. I found that I love using Git.
Is that the programming job? Good to hear you're enjoying it.
Source control is a great thing and Git is nicer than most.Quote:

I use it through VSTS and on the command line and i do prefer the visual studio plugin for it, but that is probably as its what i am used to.
I have been setting up Build and release Pipelines in Azure Dev ops and they are absolutely fantastic
One of the developers i sit next to is 66 and today he asked "Whats a ****** cloud ? apart from one of those fluffy things in the sky"
We don't use much source control....largely because we are out of control ourselves. No two people work in the same language, let alone on the same things. We barely know what each other is doing. I have a secret project, which I carry in my pocket (that's NOT a euphemism) after an incident of breaking and entering. Git would make sense for that one, except I don't want it on a public repo, nor on our private one....so, it remains in my pocket.
haha!Quote:

How do you make holy water?
Starts with salt - who knew!
So holy water....starts with a salt.
Seems about right.
All wrong! You boil the HELL out of it!! LOL
I tried making holy water but the holes just kept closing up. I must have been doing it wrong.
Freeze it, first.
Is that when hell ffreezes over? lolQuote:

Why did the skeleton cross the road?
Sounds like a grave subject, but I have no answer.
To get to the body shop :D
Pelvis has left the building.
How humerus
I thought I had a pun about carpals, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
I think you nailed it!Quote:

I guess they dont have a single funny bone in their body
That's when we should have made a humerus remark. It just wouldn't be quite as funny with 'scapula' or 'patella', though xyphoid process is always good for a laugh.
Come on people don't let our favorite post die!!! I always read this post with my morning coffee.
I'll start,
How about that Jussie Smollet case. I really thought they were going to make an example out of him and nail him to the cross. I understand the states attorney saying two days community service and $10,000 is enough but they should have made him enter a guilty plea or no contest. Now he's going around acting like he's innocent.
But in the back of my mind I think there's a chance his defense team found something embarrassing about the police or states attorney's office that they used for leverage to negotiate such a sweet deal.
Possibly. Mostly I think he can afford very expensive lawyers.
It's just strange. The evidence seemed so strong and the outcry was so tremendous, that I thought the powers in high places would mandate making a public example of him. I don't care how good your lawyer is, if the evidence is strong (sometimes it doesn't even have to be all that strong) if the Governor, Mayor, Senator, .... take special interest in the case and want a show trial, it happens. If there really isn't anything hidden going on, then I feel sorry the that States Attorney that made this decision. I wouldn't want to be him.Quote:

Hmmm chit chats really slow lately. Oh well...
I WIN!!!
Darn, I didn't realize it was first to 63,881. That does seem like a kind of arbitrary number, but there's a beauty in that.
That actor smollett has friends in high places as well as a relative. Bet favors were had. Hope the FBI investigation into it will find out the truth. also the Chicago PD is sending him a bill for the investigation expenses lol
Smollett to Robin Roberts on GMA in an answer to why he was targeted by MAGA hat wearing white folk: "I come really, really hard at 45". Trump Derangement Syndrome - what a joke!Quote:

That's funny. Did they say how much the bill was???? Might have to get creative to get any justice in this case. I usually don't feel so vengeful but the way he keep lying and acting so smug, makes 2 days of community service and $10,000 seem inadequate.Quote:

Prosecutors do this all the time, it's just not always so public. They get to decide whether or not they want to prosecute a case. If they say no, then that's the end of it most of the time. That means that we have some laws (that I can point to, but won't) that are on the books, but which you can pretty much break in front of a law enforcement officer and get away with it, because they know the prosecutor won't take it to court. In the cases I'm talking about, the prosecutors won't take it to court because it's so very hard to prove that the crime was actually committed. This may be similar. As long as he doesn't admit to it, and he is sticking with his story, they have to prove that something didn't happen. That's a heavy lift.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel sent the bill already - $130,000 dollars.
According to the prosecutors office, they used a program that allows for restitution and community service. He was not exonerated at all.
If he pays the 130K it is an admission of guilt.
If he does not pay they can sue in civil court. This does two great things. It opens the case that was sealed and it changes the rules of guilt to be just a preponderance of evidence. That's how they first got at OJ...
I don't think it's a heavy lift at all. You have the two brothers confession, got incriminating text messages, got him giving them money...... I've certainly seen cases less compelling go to trial. Plus the states attorney said she believed they could have proven him guilty.Quote:

I feel the states attorney has let them down. I just wonder WHY???
I'd have to say that this whole story has never held much interest for me. When I first heard about it, my thought was, "who?" When I heard that the police decided it was a phony report...that was all I heard and left it at that. Frankly, I believe this is only making the news because it was some kind of celebrity (though I still don't know who, or where the celebrity was from). Heck, I didn't know it was Chicago until Rham Emanuel's name came up. I thought it was NYC.
Now that I know ever so slightly more....so what? Are folks really shocked that a rich person gets different treatment? Are folks really shocked that a celebrity gets different treatment? Are folks really shocked that a celebrity did something to attract attention to themselves? I doubt anybody on here would be surprised by any of that. It's just more "stupid pet tricks".
Yeah, I didn't have any idea who he was either. People know who he is now, so I guess his publicity stunt worked. Not so sure it going to work out to his benefit in the long run. But it's a crazy world so who knows???
I would say that it will. There's the old adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity, and that may be even more true today than when the phrase was coined. After all, the audience of today is highly segmented/targeted. If you want to appeal to the broader public, then you have to be somewhat careful not to be too outrageous. However, if you've decided that YOUR audience is X, then it may be better to be outrageous in a way that X will appreciate, even if it alienates Y.
I have no desire to do anything like that, but if your livelihood depends on the support of some segment of society, then it certainly behooves you to recognize that and act accordingly. For the rest of us, our livelihood likely depends on not alienating some broad segment of society, but otherwise it doesn't matter. For him, he needs the active support of X, for the rest of us, we just need not to have the active opposition of X. That's a MUCH lower bar.
Of course, he has angered a fair amount of his group X, as well, so this may work against him....it's just that, if I had to put money on it, I'd bet that it doesn't hurt him. Just a guess, though.
To quote Airheads: "Rock stars don't go to jail. Christ, Vince Neil only got 30 days and he killed somebody."
To paraphrase Shaggy's last post: Don't put all your X in one basket.
Yeah, that's true. Putting things in a basket could hamper your ability to retrieve them.
I don't know whether that last pun is based on a local definition or a general definition.
Just need one of those new processors, with multi-hamper threading.
Just watched "The Dirt", a NetFlix movie about Motley Crue. Very much a movie about Sexxx, Drugs and a little Rock & Roll. Had some funny parts.Quote:

Yeah, I watched it too. I was a big fan back in the 80s (had the hair and everything). It was fun but, I suspect, a little more complimentary to their rock star image than reality would have been. They were pretty much irredeemable ass-holes.:rolleyes:
They need to throw the damn book at him and make an example or anyone is going to be able to do the same without repercussions. So many damn snowflakes. Time to turn the heat up and melt their arses!
