What’s wrong with #ffffff?

Somehow when we had only 16 colours to work with we didn’t have the worst of the designer-brain “grey on marginally different grey” eyestrain factories. High-enough contrast for accessinility was essentially guaranteed. And you could go even more restrictive for laptops with early washed out LCDs and only-shades-of-red plasma screens.

Manul.

So Jimmy Buffett?

It looks similar to the lemon sold to my family in 1995.

Please do not use an exact power of two. We need one bit pattern for “undefined”

It’s actually not the worst name for a srreaming service, considering Philo Farnsworth was a key developer of modern electronic-scan TV.

Four ears is a problem. It’s so hard to get four-channel headphones.

The keyboard has 4 keys to the right of the space bar, so it’s probably a PC-style keyboard with “Windows keys”. But the Mac is old enough it would be ADB only. There’s no way that’s working without a spendy adaptor.

Unacceptable. Beat the props guy with a Model F.

:lightbulb:

If we gave the Project 2025 crew Jira, it cpuld drag the entire operation to a halt.

Atlassian, your hour of need is at hand. It’s time to Save Democracy! Let us send wave after wave of Scrum Coaches to chase down Musk toadies and demand they play Scheduling Poker before defunding the VA. Do they even have a Definition of Done for conquering Canada?

This feels like floating point would not work well.

(Context for the non-programmer-socks crowd) Some systems store decimal numbers in a way that precludes an exact representation of some vslues. So 1/10 might have be stored as 0.0999999999999976, which makes little difference until the inaccuracy gets multiplied and rippled around enough to generate a letter for being 0.0000000047 cents overdrawn.

I suppose for gender, the rounding error is catgirl. we’re all ever so slightly willing to mew and swat away people trying to rub our bellies, it’s just a matter of when it shows up in an unexpecyed place.

Para screamar en Español, oprima dos.

Why not nasm? Are you actually targeting DOS?

How to Keep a Mummy is sickeningly adorable.

Or As Miss Beelzebub Likes, but then I just want an Azazel of my own…

Yeah. They don’t tell you at all what to do with the 3rd sword.

Too much girl, not enough cat. REFUND!

Cross post to MurderMoe too. :>

The mafia has infested law enforcement too.

I accidentally took the wrong streetcar when visiting San Francisco and ended up in the Castro.

They put a boot on my gender and had it towed. Apparently I have to pay $450 plus $85 per day storage to get it out of impound. I said “forget it” and they crushed it into a cube.

Once you get to 50k people, you have to set up Harbour Goth, and at 100k, Airport Goth.

I can see the former with merman/maid themes, but not sure how to implement the latter-- black fishnet pilot iniforms?

I’m sort of intrigued how they got the startup funding.

You’re building a retail business around a meme. Even in the best possible case, you have a couple years of relevance to pay down the debt.

It’s brick-and-mortar, with real inventory, not like just online drop-shipping stuff silkscreened on demand, so the overhead is pretty high.

If a bank financed any of this nonsense, I want to know so we can send the FDIC Shock Troops in to find out what other stupid shit they’re doing with depositor money.

There seems to be a size heirarchy to it.

Supermarkets become either a gym or a Goodwill.

Mid-size businesses become Spirit Halloween.

Small businesses just get replaced with “hobby” businesses where it’s obviously someone with money cosplaying as a storekeeper selling scrapbooking suppkies or country decor items.
