My most-used excuse: "my requirements are awful." "Why do that, when you can...?" "Why use that horrible hack!?" "Why are you flying coach?"

@vopnews there is a leak bubbling up from the street on the 700 block of South ridgeland, new since around 5pm today.

@DeathByOrca Old Fashioned's in Boston with my mom's younger brother, so I definitely got the non-rink ice quota in. Cheers!

@docsmooth Happy Birthday, Doc! Remember, ice is not just for rinks . 🍹

@inthefade ooof, shitty, sorry.

@hellNbak_ Bring your gear and tell me where you're staying and I'll tell you which skates are available for drop in

Good Morning. After a day of ups and downs in the fight against this monstrous fire, I know our Community shares my intense gratitude for those working the front lines and all who support them. And we share intense grief for those who have suffered losses. The fight continues.

I spent time researching this attack and the individual who did it. I wanted to understand, but in the end, I could not find a logic. Only suffering

I hung up from a 4-hour call with a customer in Perth, and within 2 minutes Tkachuk finished that game. Thanks for waiting for me, guys? #StanleyCup

@ATTHelp I've been waiting on you all to reply in the DMs since Friday.

@docsmooth Hi Robert I want to turn this around for you please meet us in the Dm. ^DeAsiaF

Goddamnit @ATTHelp how can you make NTP so difficult to get working? about.att.com/sites/broadban… Ok, that makes sense, so how do I get accurate time on your network? What's the internal, properly-configured NTP host you provide? "If we disable DMZPlus mode on YOUR router.." what??

@dino2gnt $0.26 / mbps is the going rate around my house, if you don't use a niche provider. And that seems to be the deal: get poor speed and good features (but terrible tech support) or fast speed and terrible features and terrible tech support. Terrible tech support I can handle

@docsmooth Mine does, but it's not 300Mbps.

Seriously, is it seriously to much to ask for a 300mbps home Internet provider to give you an actual passthru connection to your own router? Yes, I'm in the USA and know this is impossible for non business class costs. >:-{

@ATTHelp And now the router you sent me has 0 pieces of information which match the sticker. Wifi name, password, access code... All wrong. And a 1 hour callback time for an open case.

@docsmooth We want to help make things easier for you, Robert. Please hit us up via DM, so we can go over your connectivity. ^AndrewA twitter.com/messages/compo…

@ATTHelp I dunno, maybe publish an NTP server along with your DNS servers as basic network services an ISP should provide?

@hellNbak_ I just bought Bauer 3x pros and I love how they feel but I can't get over my toes far enough yet. Hoping it's just a lacing/breaking in problem

@hellNbak_ Keep it up! although I agree, the late skates *suck*... I'm starting to look at 6ams instead. How do you like those AS-Vs? look pretty new?

@DeathByOrca That's why I just stuck with steak.

Ham is just…not my thing.

here’s my case for building more trains: choo-choo goes fast

@CubicleApril Actually thinking about it for a7 hour drive today, I think it's about flow control. A script has a straightforward flow from start to finish, but a program will not. This github.com/BeyondTrust/pb… is 3000 lines, but has a single purpose and very straight flow

@CubicleApril Single purpose vs. multipurpose AND not compiled.

it has always bothered me when people call my 5000+ line Python program a “script,” so let me ask: how do you see the difference between a “script” and a “program”?
