I'm done with Twitter.

@mck_sw I have a Win2k VM I keep around to run a version of photoshop I paid for in 2004 that still meets my needs perfectly.

You've got to lay down tracks before you can have a late train. Just sayin'.

Raise your hand if you use a cloud service provider and your org has managed to replicate the same provisioning process (and associated timelines) as if you were setting things up on bare metal.

Why do I feel like it's more complicated to write a REST API in 2022 than it was in 2012?

I live in Texas. There are now two parties worth of politicians whining about suppressing votes (different kinds of votes, mind you). Neither side seems to be capable of realizing the irony of this situation.

@Obdurodon Check out Baarle-Hertog in Belgium. The whole concept of enclaves and exclaves is nuts. Came across this in a 3-hour wikipedia hole that started with Michigans upper peninsula.

20+ years in the business and I feel like I need to have "2>&1 &" tattooed on my arm. I can never remember it.

@mebigfatguy Mainly, dealing with all the opinions (people choosing not to use facades), and trying to get them to all come together. It's nuts.

I bought one of these erasers in college (circa 1996). It's been with me at every class and job I've ever had. I've known it longer than my wife and kids. Here's a picture of what it looks like now.

I had to replace the main board on my Ender 3 Pro 3d printer. Holy cow! I did not know what I was missing out on. All I can hear are the fans now.

@russell_h Zoom on computer for voice + face, plus Zoom + screen share on a tablet with a drawing app. (I do this with Webex.)

I love seeing the #cameo ads on Facebook. I click every one of them. You instantly know the level of celebrity by their asking price.

Curious if anybody ever got their cash settlement from Equifax? That's what I chose and I never got anything.

@waxpancake I dunno man. I can think of several 30 year-olds who used their real names in a few of those answers/questions who can finally stop being embarrassed. :)
