Day 5

"How do you do that?"

Into the work slack it goes

Guess you still want that ointment then ;P

@TrayKnots Yep if it's unpaid then that MFer is at 5pm, and I'm eating it at home

@retoor Are telling him to go to an institute? ;P

@SidTheITGuy Are you sure you have enough broccoli hair to hit the "no cap fr fr" ;P

@TheBeardedOne Yep was working at place and they only wanted you take the time out of following days for the same reason. But you still had to be at the meetings etc so in the end you didn't really get it back

@retoor hahahaha you cheeky dick waffle, you are absolutely right. And of course, I'm pretty strong pro free speech, I find it pretty disgusting what happens in EU + UK regarding it

Have you tried pulling them? But now I can't unsee it XD

@TrayKnots

> Whatever you encounter a thought about or have a thought about is fair game.

Of course, I was just curious, since numerous places/people boil it down to party.

Honestly, I think by looking at foreign policy like entertainment, it makes it closer to your goal. It lightens the topic and means feelings don't really get involved (the big reason people avoid it)

Hope you got ointment

Yeah, I missed my afternoon standup - granted, not many people show up on friday since the boss doesn't (come to the meeting)

@jestdotty @retoor it's not encrypted, it can be read already https://newscientist.com/article/...

I've seen the videos where they read the image from a person's head in an experiment (they were testing if they could read the recall ability of the brain or something) https://youtube.com/watch/...

@retoor Funnily, it was my step-mom who wanted to beat me with a wooden spoon. Corporal punishment doesn't work on me - it makes my vindictive side come out

@retoor

> No, but imagine being so limited by the rules that the only thing you have left to do is scream to make your opponent uncomfortable.

Not any more you can get arrested for that in certain places

@TrayKnots She's not American - why should she care about the parties involved there other than for entertainment.

That does make me want to ask your opinion on discussing politics, do you want to talk about policy or party?

@retoor all I know about "genius" kids is they either become a recluse, die young or are excommunicated

@retoor Funnily enough, that's why I normally don't like getting complemented - especially not from bosses/strangers. If I don't trust you before, it will just get you on my sus people list

@jestdotty it shows an appreciation of your skill, especially if it is from someone who understands what they are talking about. However, if you're talking about "suck ups" I do not know because like I said - if I don't trust them when they compliment (multiple times) they are a write-off

@retoor but what if I like it when you're being cockii, hmmm ;P You awesome coder you ;P

@TheBeardedOne Yep I find it disgusting, they want more of your time for less pay - IMO they should also pay for commute time. Like, I'd get up and drive for an hour in heavy traffic for fun.

But yeah, it's become "the norm" all over the place. It's here in NL as well and some places will even dictate when you must have your lunch.

Honestly, I think it comes from a large disparity between the costs of aspirations and the drive to get them. e.g. If you can afford a house by always doing overtime, you probably would, then that becomes the normal expectation of that company of you, so if they ever replace you, they will try and figure out how to get that extra hour out of the next person

@retoor What are you talking about, everyone on here is some form german; you sea german :P

@jestdotty @Demolishun I'm surprised you guys aren't aware that you can do that already with gasoline cars, have been able to do so for nearly a decade now if I'm remembering my dates right. A lot of your car is controlled by electronics, and most of them have some form of uplink/bus that can be hijacked (and yes that includes break line/fluid and wheels)

Have you looked at Numenera? It's a TTRPG where magic is based on the previous civilisation technology.

Have you considered coaching it like a junior you're teaching? I've had mine generate whole functional test suites (just had to search and replace jest with vitest)

@jestdotty

> you can be in different bodies

Well then that leaves numerous options, I'd probably go back to old me first XD

But can we take people with us? Or is everyone else pawns in your play?

> with equivalent human intelligence

Yeah, that would be fun

@retoor You're welcome to argue with the 60-year-old lady, but then you'll have to make real on the threat on standing on my doorstep ;P (preferable without the axe)

I wouldn't know about ruling it since I haven't watched the movie ;P but would love to IRL

I'd probably still take immortality, pain is the part of life that makes the rest worth living.

My biggest worry would be that you become the equivalent of a neanderthal to the future people.

But there are infinite of things to enjoy in the world, and being immortal, you can experience things many people can't. Want to lock yourself up for 1000 years to research something you can, want to create the cure the cancer, you can, the FBI CAN'T kill you.

Anyway img attached was me reading the comments

Any environmental difference (code and where it's running?)

Get business to set up another testing environment, and he'll be cursing (or doing a DB dump)

@Lensflare Yeah, she really doesn't like those

@Lensflare Both, she doesn't like movies that are dystopian, and she doesn't like the jump scare movies

@antigermgerm That actually was my nickname for a while 😅 that and Moses

@retoor Last time I asked, she said it was too scary
