O god, is it really that bad? Do we really need a comparison to (avert your eyes) politics. When a committee decides to do something stupid (which is almost every time), then it's usually the common denominator they found twoards their corrupt and immoral goals.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

I am the traffic ninja. Whenever I'm on the road everyone else drives like crap. :-\
Wrong is evil and must be defeated. - Jeff Ello
Then we better never drive in the same place at the same time. The Ninjutsu would be split up between us, already dragging both of us half way down to the level of the other ashigaru[^].

Management and politics are two sides of the same coin mental disorder.

I'd walk if I only had that far to go. I don't get too much choice with my commute: I can't drive (and wouldn't drive to work even if I could, the route is Hellishly congested) and cycling to where I work would require a far, far braver man than myself. As such, it's a train with some walking at either end - which would be nice if the train were of adequate size and prone to turning up occasionally (sadly, it's neither) but at least I get to read stuff on the way, so the time isn't completely wasted.

You have to be really brave when you take a bus in Rome. :-)

Did you ever wonder why a single Ninja in a movie is almost invincible while they drop like flies when a whole army of Ninjas comes? Analogous to energy, Ninjutsu can neither be created nor destroyed. If there is only one Ninja present, all the system's Ninjutsu is concentrated in him, making him invincible. When there is a whole army of them, each Ninja only gets a small share of the Ninjutsu and we all know how that ends. While driving to work this morning, I wondered why everything goes well up to a certain number of cars on the road. After that critical point they all begin to drive like drunken monkeys. Is this yet another conservation law or do we really need the proper amount of Ninjutsu to get to work?

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.The road is one big chaos system. The longer it displays a reliable pattern the more likely that the very next moment it will go completely pear shaped. I've gotten in the habit of working from home the first snowfall of the winter every year. It's like freaking clock work. We have decent* enough roads 7-9 months and then the day that snow falls every moron and their dead grandmothers decide that the best way to drive on snow and ice, is to go as fast as they can so they spend as little time on it as possible**! *By "decent" I mean the majority of them are paved, potholes aren't quite big enough to swallow a horse, and they haven't been condemned. They are however rated "poor" by the road committee. **I guess this isn't an entirely inaccurate thought process. If they slide off the road into the ditch, they are no longer technically on said road.

As if this event was a total surprise, but then they are also absolutely surprised when that funny light changes from red to green.

One alone managed to conquer most of Europe and start a world war; the 8,327 can't even decide which tiles to play in Scrabble.

It depends. I'm still building my Huey, which is half the size of this one here. I already had the helicopter, an older T-Rex 450[^], which I got second hand for about 150 bucks. The fuselage[^] cost only 100, but it did not have very much detail. So I have spent a good number of hours on installing the helicopter and adding all kinds of details, like one or another antenna, the tail bar, hatches and panels, rivets and 3D printed weapons. And of course painting it once the details are all done. In the end it's supposed to look like this one[^] and use this model kit[^] as a reference.

Rubbing it in particular directions and with particular cadence with the left-hand's thumb and forefinger caused Terrible Things to happen!
