Mirror + bandaid + paperclip + packing tape = boom? It's like a bad 80s tv show.

Imagine being that guy on the bike going down the road second before. Holy shit dude.

I kind of like to think that anyone inside thought that they drove off the crew attacking their position. Like "Ha, they are leaving, we did it. Great job everyone.
... Wait what's that beeping sound? Do you guys here ticking?"

I finally made the switch recently. Windows kept getting worse, and worse, and worse. Every day I felt like I had to fight it more to just do anything. I've been mainly a Windows user my entire life and I just couldn't stand to use it any more.

I couldn't be happier. Every game I play on steam just works. I'm installing mods and updating config files deep in the magical proton depths and it just works. A clean install of the operating system is actually a clean place to start. I'm telling everyone I know.

But is it locked? Better slap a padlock on it somewhere, then give it two slaps and say "no one's getting in there".

I got kicked one time completely at random. I was confused more than anything. Like, what? I thought about it and decided I had a simple solution. I just host every game I play. I know I love Democracy. If it's my finger on the button I know we are in good hands.

I would reject this pull request. Why is the indenting all over the place? Why is your keyword capitalisation all over the place? WHY YELLOW?!

Edit: the more I look at this the more it pisses me off. Wtf is going on with your kerning? Just random number and placement of spaces. Also, why is the table name in caps? Who does that? Select * is lazy. Do you really need every field about a girl? Really? Worst of all, not a limited request. I sware this is just the kind of thing that would return 30 million rows and brick the database for twenty seconds.

Sir Chad carries a twelve pounder hand cannon, and when he ignites the powder the ball sails true into the main deck of the pirate, but the recoil capsizes his vessel.

That is awesome. And maybe this is a dumb question but... Would that actually make the report of the gun louder?

It's code, but without automated tests, comments, style rules, and often stored in binary files making change management a nightmare.

It's trying to paint but you can only use your fingers and also one of the other devs ate all the red.

An amazing story, and just downright perplexing. It is a shame you never found out what on earth was going on in the CTOs head. I would love to understand the thought process (or lack thereof) that went into that.
