Coworker buddy of mine received a thank you card in the interoffice mail for his fifteenth anniversary. It was a thank you from the wrong company. Evidently they started contracting with some outside firm that handles a bunch of large corporations and they couldn't even get the company correct.

Nowadays it's an email and a gift card which barely covers lunch, even at 20+ years.

Just make sure you use metric units or the whole system falls apart

At first I was frustrated by the dodge parry mechanics but they grew on me. I usually don't have very good reflexes but I kept at it and actually got pretty skilled to the point where I beat the extra bosses. The music is brilliant and the world is so beautiful and the voice acting is perfect. Such a magnificent game.

That's some high quality grammar for a school. Also, roaming chess gangs sound kind of badass and I'm interested in learning more.

I'm really disappointed that the transcription didn't follow through with this spelling

I'm somewhat in the same boat but I remember Mister "Developers Developers Developers" Steve Ballmer who was also immortalized by the "Ballmer Peak" XKCD. https://xkcd.com/323/

The balls are the most versatile organ of all.

Well at least it's not Norton and Bonsai Buddy

 
 

The previous owner worked for the phone company and had run some sort of 10 conductor shielded cable under the yard to the shed 40 years ago. The pairs weren't twisted but I threw some RJ45 ends on there and did a quick test - it worked. After I finished the runs and now I have a PoE+ camera on my shed. I am pleased with the result.

 
 

Sometimes I like to stare into space while he does his business. This is especially true if the moon is bright or it's warm weather. There is often peace in the back yard in spite of traffic sounds and light pollution.
