Years ago when I was living with my parents, my mother was at work, I worked nights. She called me during the day and this was the conversation :

Mom: I need a favor, go into my bedroom, get my cell phone and bring it to me.

Me : you are are work right?

Mom: yeah

Me: you can't make personal calls at work so you must be on break right?

Mom: what? Just bring me my phone!

Me: if you are on break, how are you calling me?

Mom: oh shit, nevermind I found it.

The first computers were mostly women so... (originally being a computer was a profession which basically meant being paid to do calculations.)

I made spaetzle for the first time at Thanksgiving. It was spaetzle and green beans with bacon in a garlic butter sauce.

It was delicious but almost killed me making it. I didn't have a colander(I think it got thrown out last time I moved) so tried to use a strainer, the holes were too small and wouldn't work. I ended up using a Manual lemon juicer. My girlfriend misread the recipe and made 20 servings of the batter.

By the time I dinner was ready I was barely able to lift my fork from trying to make all the spaetzle.

"B positive"

"You will make it through this, I'm a great doctor. What's your blood type?"

"B positive"

"you are in a good hospital. Your family is waiting for you but I need to know your blood type"

"beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep"

"I'm no longer positive about you surviving..."

I know very little of UK politics, what is that group for/against?

That won't kill you. It will only make your hand hurt. Well more tingle than hurt. An electric charge must go through your heart or brain to kill you.

Now if you put a finger from your right hand and a finger from your left hand...

Depends on the field you're in. At my previous company to release a new system for internal use only I had to go through 19 validations(each one 50-100 pages of manual tests). None of it had real source control except uploading final zip of files(no source code, just the enable files).

I wrote all the files, wrote all the test cases, wrote all the documentation, executed everything and wrote most of the reports. They just fired me last week so hope they have fun when they need to update something....

I always viewed relationships as a matter of trust. The difficult part of being cheated on isn't knowing another dick has been in that pussy or another pussy has been around that dick. In most cases that has happened before you ever got together. The difficult part is the doubts. "is she really staying late for work?" "is he helping a friend move or moving her organs around?" "is she not responding because she's busy or because she is fucking" those questions are what's hard. Then "well if they lied about that what else are they lying about?"

It's all about trust. Once you cheat you break that trust. I even told my partner if she was honest about it, it wouldn't be a big deal. If she lied then she is dead to me forever.

Possible and around right age but I don't know... I've done stupid stuff also and am a man.

Like one night I was overworked and tired and just said I'll buy McDonald's for dinner. I went in drive thru, placed my order, paid, got my change, and it wasn't till I got home that I noticed I never actually got the food...

I like some of their developer products that said... Wtf is with their marketing department? I'm a techy and play some games but if someone asked me to buy them a Xbox I honestly don't know which one is best... Xbox one series S? I think??

Now atleast on Playstation I know it's ps5 as it's the biggest number.

You want Nintendo... Switch as it's a different enough name to make it stick.

Imagine going to but a truck... Do you want a Ford f150, a Ford f150 series x or a ford f150 series s? Now keep in mind a Ford f150 can't go on any roads built in last 5 years and if you pick the wrong series letter your speed is capped at 30mph....

Don't get me started on visual studio vs visual studio code....
