It's a bit like satire.
Yeah, almost like it wasn't true, but not quite.
That was actually one of my thoughts last week. If Trump lost, would he actually refuse to leave the house. It certainly wouldn't seem to be beyond his character.
BOB: Big Orange Baby.
Sounds like a CIA black project code-name.
More like orange project.
Man, that is so right. I'll never get the hang of mirth.
That was one of the gifts intended to be brought to baby Jesus, but they messed up the spelling and brought myrrh, instead. We've been suffering for that mistake every since.
Probably the only controversial thing in the whole bibble. To be fair though it's not the first time spell check has got us in a bit of bother. Covfefe be praised.
I just finished an “on the fly” bootstrap confirmation modal. If y’all have any web experience, I’d appreciate any feedback.

You need a lava wrapper.
Depends. If the headless Drupal integration layer is mockable with a Restful stack then yes you're right on the money.Quote:

Nah, screw all that. Here's what you do: hire yourself a kanban architect with some good contacts in agile scrum captaincy and thinktank that **** out over a live weekender in the Slack mindspace.
By the end of the month you'll all be synergising to whale-song and storming the IPO like a boss. Artisan latte for everyone, all the way bro.
Bootstraps CONFIRMED! Amirite?
The earth's crust is just a CRUD layer.
He needs Sandpaper™Quote:

The thing about avatars is that they are not a realistic depiction of the actual person posting. The beloved cat in question was not aware of VBF (not even the Chit-Chat section) or the internet in general, because he was a cat.
Thus it is with considerable trepidation that I must emphasise that I an not a cat in real life. This will no doubt be an earth-shaking revelation to many VBFers. I apologise for my failure over the last twenty or so years to indicate this with sufficient clarity.
In closing I will also inform those reading that the specific cat in question is now long ago passed. He has ceased to be. Dead. As a doornail. Kaputt. Done in. Et cetera.
But he was a good boy, yes he was, oos a good boy den? Awww.
Ceci n'est pas un chat.
And I am not a pineapple.
well, if you start to speak french...
By the way you are the first person I know that put fishes instead of flower in a terracotta pot
Not only are you not only not a pineapple, you cannot even get your avatar to sit in the middle of the 64x64 pixel frame. Even VisualAd can do that most of the time. Maybe.Quote:

I suppose it could be a hookah.
As for centering the image...that's just bad art. You want the subject somewhat off center to draw the eye into the image.
I can confirm that I am, in fact, a hamster. And JMc is certainly some kind of indiscernible dog/puppy/bear thing.
Gee, I would have guessed guinea pig. Must be a bad angle.
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries!!
I actually think I might be part guinea pig. I'll have to sign up for ancestry.com.
Don't do that. Ancestry.com is pretty well established. If you are part guinea pig, you should sign up for some service that is still in beta.
Yeah, like American Democracy.Quote:

I mic drop all the time. It's the lack of opposable thumbs.
It's no easier when you're a vase of fish.
Bromeliad!
That's a very airy and flowery post. Also, it's almost a bromide.
I like turtles.
Are you a shill for a shell?Quote:

Look at all those chickens!

Sorry for that :( . Does she has bad symptom ?

You will be contacted in due course with full instructions.
Everything is happening to you, this year. Hurricane after hurricane, deaths in the family, and now this. Hopefully, it will pass without symptoms of any sort...but...you seem to be a lightning rod of the weirdest kind this year.Quote:

2020 has been a rough year, but I'm just grateful that I am still employed and have a good core of friends and family. That alone is much more than some.
Hope your wife gets better soon :)
I was laid off at the end of July after nearly 15 years at a job I quite liked. It's a bummer for sure.Quote:

Well they said that engineering was not a key skill in the company anymore. Which struck me as sounding a bit odd because it's an engineering company.
So I reckon it's gone forever. So it goes.
Maybe it's all just marketing, now?
Anyways, you have nine lives, so you'll get over it.
When I was an exclusive agency owner with Allstate, they made a shift from being an insurance company to being a data collection company that sells insurance.
That was when I saw the writing on the wall for the traditional brick and mortar franchise model that I was under. If I had to guess, the will be less than 1 agent per parish (or county) in the next 10 years and everything will have been moved to their mobile app, website, and/or corporate customer support (which is more often than not outsourced).
Have you considered becoming a bereavement counselor?Quote:
