I've done that too many times.

The trailer for season 4 just released was the nail in the coffin. Liam Hemsworth is doing his best, but there's no way Henry Cavill would have uttered the line, "Let's fuckin' move." The writing is so bad he couldn't save it.

You know how every bully has spineless little hangers-on who cheer on the abuse but are too cowardly to participate directly? This is them.

They just add a cheap herb mix to everything. Why do so many people fall for it?

I'm seeing great uptake with these "variables", but I'm going to put marketing in the loop to make sure variable names are aligned with customer expectations. All new variables must be signed off after focus group testing and consultation. Why use i when you can use iVariablePro?

Yep, the movie was well past the peak. I used to watch The Simpsons every day for years, but I still haven't seen the movie because I keep forgetting it exists.

Who Shot Mr Burns was a major cultural event.

It's better than all the years I didn't have one, no doubt. I just didn't expect this much maintenance.

I never get much focus on code these days because there's always something else to fix in the real world. The list of ideas keeps growing, while I work on the garden, repair tools, maintain vehicles,...

In some jurisdictions, groups of small vehicles like this can move through intersections as if they were a single vehicle. It makes sense because a peleton would take forever to move through a stop sign otherwise, and nobody wants that.

It's possible the front of the group stopped, and when the riders in the shot caught up the front of the group was already proceeding.

Where do you find inspiration? I bought one too after too many years away, but I forgot to order a muse.

David Lynch's attempt at Dune.

It sucks that the beams were calibrated for the average human body weight 2000 years ago. Apparently they weren't kidding when they made gluttony a sin.
