It's also hilarious when a video game does it. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is notorious about doing this. Back when it was new the forums were full of people being shocked that they couldn't just ignore things forever.
Thanks, I hate it.
You have just blown my mind. What an amazing solution!
That's why the aliens built the pyramids!!1!!! To store energy for their perpetual motion time cube!

Pathfinder is superior to D&D ethically, morally and mechanically. Fight me.

Yeah, the people having problems with Brother printers aren't saying that they aren't working, but rather that print quality is bad. With it appearing to happen to just a few people my guess is that a few poor quality cartridges went out from a third party factory. Give it a week or two if you can and we'll find out for sure.

Only sorta related, but now I have an excuse to tell my anecdote...
One job ago I had a manager who decided that he would convert some of our helper scripts from bash to Python for reasons. I was new there and so didn't realize what he was doing, or that he had started the process just as I was going through orientation. However, I ended up being the reviewer for the PR.
This was the worst Python I had ever seen but in such odd ways and it mostly worked. It almost felt like it was written by someone who knew bash really well but had never learned any other languages, or thought that bash was just so damn good that he wanted to turn every other language into it. For example, instead of using argparse
he was manually looping through argv
and parsing them one at a time. And instead of using a standard for each in foo
loop, there were index variables and while loops. And certainly there were no comprehensions or any understanding of the basic built in data structures other than using lists as arrays.
So I did a review, assuming that this person was just really new to python and tried to gently coach him towards basic Pythonisms. His response was: "Oh yeah, I just ran them through ChatGPT and assumed it was all ok."
I quit about two months later.
Push the test button, of course. I find it helps make sure everyone wakes up on time.
That's a gorgeous photo! I've done a few short motocamping trips, but my dream is to do a tour of the US National Parks.
