“He only has a brain the size of a walnut.”

I would not want to see things like this done to the overwhelming majority of living things. But mosquitoes, I say let them starve.

That looks like more like an Asian Beetle than a typical Lady Bug. Those bastards will crawl into any crack or crevice they can squeeze themselves into to find a place to over-winter. They’re annoying, they smell like gross musty shit, and they will bite you given the opportunity.

So while this is the first time I’ve seen one in someone’s colon, I’m not completely shocked either. In fact, it’s kind of “on brand”.

Basically a 900LB Cocker Spaniel that’s afraid of it’s own farts and will eventually kill every single tree within reach. I also will never own horses.

Ah Manage Engine. Lots of full featured products that are roughly 75% complete.

The kind of place where “backups” means playing Russian Roulette with one set of old ass tapes, if you’re lucky.

If you’re not spending half your day testing vacuum tubes one at a time, are you even a real engineer?

I know I’ve got a punch card sorter around here somewhere.

Tarantula Hawk

Wasp equivalent of an A-10 Warthog

Captures tarantulas in a way that resembles Tony Soprano disposing of a body

Doesn’t know what the fuck you’re staring at and doesn’t really care enough to stop what it’s doing

I don’t think I’ve seen this meme template before. I like it

Also trickiest step to liberating Kuwait.

A repressive regime that becomes less repressive during a global pandemic is highly suspicious. Gotta keep up appearances.

Forgot “Pasting it into a Word document”.

“Let’s see what happens when we give these mice food coloring.”

Twenty minutes later…

“Mother of God…”

The best thing about MongoDB is that you can stop using it completely and switch to PostgreSQL, which will happily accept all the horrible JSON data you can cram into it.

“…If there’s a problem writing your data, you’re fucked. Does that sound like a good design to you?”

“If that’s what they need to do to get those kick-ass benchmarks, then it’s a great design.”

Oh God. I am laughing so hard watching this.

That works when you have access to a SQL database instead of a bunch of massive CSV files.

And at least at my workplace, a lot of work processes use poorly-designed Excel spreadsheets for critical tasks, because it’s such a simple way to manipulate data.

I also find that when I need to do more complicated data analysis, Excel starts to become limited, and I find Python to be a more powerful and flexible tool.

Capability is a double edged sword. Any tool that is capable of doing something is going to be used by someone to do that thing, regardless of whether it should be. Excel gets abused and used for things that it shouldn’t be frequently in corporate environments because of its capabilities. I can understand being frustrated by that.

I use Excel for reporting and analytics because it makes manipulating and visualizing data very easy. Especially if you know what you’re doing. No need to write a UI or worry about portability between workstations, etc. At the end of the day it’s a tool. A very capable one. Like any tool, it’s not the right one for every job.

Lol. Don’t bother asking Chat GPT for help. You will get so many completely wrong answers. At least the answers will be formatted nicely. Complete bullshit. But easily readable bullshit.
