Lol. And here I was thinking people would not jump on a daft obscure “bible” comment.

K&R is Old Testament and New Testament is “The C++ Programming Language”, by Bjarne Stroustrup.

They probably meant the true bible, “C Programming Language” by Kernigan & Ritchie. Good to teach kids about software.

“I like to stack. I want to go to an ancient civilisation now. No, now!”

Except that you can …

Cancel auto payments

Edit: I get you. You mean multiple cards within PayPal itself per vendor. Yeah, that seems like similar effort but at least you can see everything in one portal. I have a single card linked with just enough limit to cover subscriptions and the odd internet purchase.

Aussie here. One reason I use PayPal is for subscriptions (streaming services etc) to avoid the headache of updating credit card details in multiple places when I change bank, credit card renews, etc. just change it in PayPal once and every subscription keeps working.

Conway’s Law in action.

Organisations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organisations.

“You’re gonna need a bigger manger.”

“Helene Loos, an aroma researcher”

Of course her last name is another word for toilets.

Hyundai executive notices a man with a small moustache being hastily ushered out of the X offices main board room.

Hyundai Executive : “Was that Hitler?”

Elon steps in front of board room door : “That wasn’t Hitler, that was a woman.”

Hyundai Executive : “That looked like Hitler.”

I know this is based on the legal definition of terrorism but I can’t be the only one who thought it sounded odd calling this particular incident a terrorist attack but not the Bondi attack which arguably terrorised more people.

Edit: missing word

D(on) and D(off)

Ford lawyer: “If the fuel injectors don’t fit then you must acquit.”

Judge: “Um, not sure that helps your case here.”

“a connectedness to, and humbleness before the mystery of, the universe”

This is the same rationale Stephen Colbert used when debating Ricky Gervais making the same point above. Yes, similar ideas may come back and people may invent new deities to direct this emotional response towards as humans have done in the past, but it is not observable and/or measurable fact. There is no evidence that any of these created deities are real, but the science of human behaviours in such a experiment may show that humans will always create religions to deal with the overwhelming response of appreciating the improbable notion that your conscious self exists.

He is the Republican elephant.

“Hi everyone and thanks again for coming to the wedding. Firstly, I would like to introduce for the first time my better half Abby”. The reception room falls awkwardly silent for a moment until punctuated by the laughter of a very tipsy uncle Ron from right at the back.

Sorry all …

Hive mind.

The reason he is holding the bible upside down is that it makes the price !666’s$ when you flip the image.

Didn’t Luke “pollinate” the Death Star as part of blowing it up.
