Things That Piss You Off

That’s Ensure Clear - the long name is “Ensure Clear’ly’ Nasty.” I’ve tasted all of these supplements because as an RD it’s just part of the job description. This stuff tastes like fruit syrup with a multi-vitamin crushed up and mixed in. If that’s not delicious, I don’t know what is… :roll_eyes:

And sending you all the positive vibes and prayers for quick healing!!!

Not quite peeved, but disappointed moreso…

Was at uni reviewing my students individual performance on their current project (I’m their tutor), cue one student struggling to answer a question as he was puffed out from walking up a single flight of stairs a minute earlier. Under 20 stairs, and his statement was ‘I hate stairs’ from a 22 ish year old man. Dang…

Usually I stick up for the fat people, but that dude needs a titty twister and thrown down a big hill in a refrigerator box.

I’m pissed off for you. lol

I was running some code on a large dataset. Code runs for 5 days… then crashes. Now I have to rerun the code to rebuild the dataset, which will take at least a day

Meanwhile, a child in Africa is engaged in slave labor so we can have Halloween candy.

WHEN I WAS A KID… (:rofl: )

We used to get games like Canyon Climber from PC magazine and have to enter them into the computer manually. Thousands of lines.

Then type “run” and hit enter, and wait.

Then when the computer would ger to the error it would stop and say “error line 1080” and we’d have to go to line 1080 and figure out what was wrong.

Again and again, sometimes for a week.

And it had to be saved on a 4 track cassette immediately, because if the power blinked or the dog farted or anything, poof! Gone!

So, yeah, I feel ya. That sucks. No sarcasm.

In Middle School we used punch cards in fortran for a week before we went over to the high school to run them through their terminal to find out they were shite.

And I went to the good school because I got kicked out of the bad school for fighting.

Punchcards are unhackable!

I actually had to learn fortran when I started in aerospace because many of the planes still flying run on fortran 77. It’s a little ridiculous.

Yeah, I was in Middle School, didn’t even get it. Fortran, Cobalt, no clue.

My son is a Freshman taking a Computing for Engineers class, is learning Python3.

I asked him, did you learn it, moving on to Python4?

He said it’s simple, just math and logic.

Lol.

I don’t know when that was, but in like 1998 or somewhere around there, I and another guy were tasked with removing a giant index machine for cards from the drawings vault of a naval shipbuilding company under the watchful eye of a couple of armed guards. :rofl:

Those big institutional practices are very slow to move.

Having worked in the government sector for almost 15 years, this does not surprise me at all.
I started in engineering school in 2007.
Heck, the military still flies F-15s (a 55 year old aircraft design) and E-2s (a 70+ year old design if you include the C-2 before they put the radar on top to make it an E-2), and B-52s (First flight in 1952). They just keep upgrading electronics.

Top Gun Maverick is a ridiculous movie (awesome though) but it does show the fact that we still have previous gen (and 2x previous gen) aircraft actively flying. Fun fact - I have worked on both the Super Hornets and E-2s - the two prominent a/c in the movie.

55 years old? Or 55 years undefeated!
