@futurebird I thought the Constitution was the one that got captured, broken up, and the timbers used to build a mill in Hampshire. Am I mixing up my ships or did they build another one so they could pretend it didn't happen?

@futurebird I would expect something like that to be really good at going on fire and being hard to put out.

@skyfaller ooh I wasn't aware of those. Nice!But the "killer app" for github is workflows, at least for me.

@tyil @skyfaller not odd at all. Github is just where I started using them, and I am not aware of any tool that will automagically port my existing workflows over to some other system.

@futurebird I want to carve my thoughts into the base of a statue surrounded by desert sands but I’ve only got the budget for a pair of vast legs.

@drahardja parabolic? They mean that it needs to go down and then up? Or up then down? I suppose they've learned that if you mis-use the word "exponential" you get laughed at, so they picked another curve at random. Alas, this won't solve the being laughed at problem.

@futurebird I have no idea what either a radicchio or an endive is, so ... try calling it Brian and see if it responds?

@futurebird @mfennvt and then you made them listen to the Johnny Cash cover of NIN, and now they want more country music?

@publicvoit @paulehoffman @timbray there is still so much stuff out there and so many mis-configured systems not under your control that just plain break UTF-8 that I recommend - if you can - always encoding non-ASCII characters in ASCII. eg, in JSON use strings like "I like \u03c0 especially Greek pie".

@BastilleBSD mine is to see if #OpenBSD finishes building the entire universe overnight and if not to sit back with a cup of tea and some chocolate biscuits and watch the #rugby 🙂

@futurebird one of my cards keeps trying to sell me a thing where I can choose for individual large purchases get paid off in several installments. As far as I can tell this exciting opportunity would cost me an extra monthly fee on top of the interest that would be charged for just doing that without paying the fee.So cashflow! Much financial! Wow!

@futurebird I like surströmming and definitely shouldn't be listened to. Another useful data point.

@futurebird I suppose most people don't bother to check when *people* tell them things that match their expectations, so it's no surprise that they don't bother when a machine does the same.
