The problem is most people don't want to be hundred billionaires in 20 years, they want to be 10 millionaires by the end of the month. To do that you don't go for great products, you go for good products you can make sound great to other people and hope other people are stupider than you.

Took about 2 hours just to make the spaetzle... I will say I took 3 10 minute breaks because of how sore my arm got. Bowl of batter, scoop 1-2 spoon fulls, then squeeze till no more came out. Had to be careful though, because by time about 3 squeezes worth were in the oil the first squeezer worth was already cooked so we then had to alternate squeezing and picking them out with a slotted spatula.

The recipe I found on the internet was for 10 servings but there was only 3 of us so we I told my girlfriend to cut it in half. Somehow there was a miscommunication and instead of halving it, she doubled it.

We both loved the final result but agreed to never make it again due to the effort it took.

Interesting, I'll do some further research.

Speaking as an old person, back then they didn't have the same concerns. Security? Ehh just don't let bad guys access your computer.

Yeah a lot of old programs are either great programming or terrible.

Do you want to bring them over to have a play date with my sweet virgins creeper?

I also question the use of "alone"... Like if 5 kids of age 12 walk to the store is that "alone"?

I moved to Texas for a job. I decided to try what a burger. The buns were stale and the burger was greasy. The mix of the two resulted in a taste like instant mash potatoes that weren't cooked right... I threw out 3/4 of the burger and found another place to eat.

Still haven't been back because yuck...

Warning...probably an uncle joke...

I used to play in a orchestra until I popped my g-string while fingering a minor...

I had that experience last week. I half blame the language though cause the way it works is you don't initialize a variable, first time you use it the language automatically makes the variable and default value is 0.

I had a variable countoot that I had a formula calculate. Then a simple if countoot > 0 do this else do that. The program kept doing that. I knew countoot should be 2. I manually did the formula ... The answer was two.

I did the same formula in 3 other programs and it worked correctly. I spent between 1.5 to 2 hours a day for like 3 days banging my head on the desk trying to figure out why it would work. Fourth day me and 2 other guys were trying to figure it out when I finally really looked closely. I realized the formula result was stored in ccountoot(notice 2 c) and the if statement was based on countoot(notice 1 c)...yeah I felt so stupid when correcting the typo fixed the problem.

It might be a side effect of my work environment. I make the equipment that tests electronic medical implants. Theoretically if a unit put 1A of charge out instead of 1ma that could kill a person. Now on a practical level that's not possible with our devices and even if it was we should be able to identify and prevent that unit from reaching the field.

Yes you are right, you want 99.99% uptime you need this stuff. In the field I'm in a single case escaping test can be months of engineering time to investigate, root cause analysis to determine the actual cause, expensive fixes for the short term and even more expensive fixes in long term to upgrade everything so it never happens again.

Boss being unhappy that you missed something is minor. Their boss's boss's boss is the real issue. That said we get regularly audited both in-house and external agencies so it's unlikely. Multiple lines of defense, have a computer check it, have a person check that the computer actually checked it, have a computer verify that the person actually verified it. Have each of those systems regularly audited and verified to be effective.

It's expensive but it is what is needed to be in this field.
