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

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.

RT @jbouie: 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”?
