Do you mean it didn’t exist, or that you didn’t have it? Because SMB3 on Super Mario All-Stars for SNES is how I most often play it.

Asked differently, “what console did you have as a kid?”

Fuck, the title got my hopes up.

That is helping, though. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I have experienced West Virginia and I completely support this plan.

I feel threatened.

How is there not a tracking device and we’re asking the public to what, find a jet and turn it in?

Maybe because the whole point of a stealth bomber is that it’s hard to find? It’s a war machine, not your keyring. You don’t put an Apple Airtag on it.

Sure, but “22-year-old me” seemed unlikely to be in that uncommon situation in a meme that’s meant to be relatable.

Thank you, northern neighbor. I suspected that was the answer but wasn’t sure.

What country uses British English (“maths I learnt”) and has a US-style nightmare of individual tax returns?

Every company I’ve been at follows this cycle: offshore to Cognizant for pennies, C-suite gets a bonus for saving money. In about two years, fire Cognizant because they suck and your code is a disaster, onshore, get a bonus for solving a huge problem. In about two years, offshore to Cognizant and get a bonus for saving money. Repeat forever.

This will follow the same rhythm but with different actors: the cheap labor is always there, and sometimes senior devs come in to replace the chatbots because the bots are failing in ways offshore can’t make up for: either fundamental design problems that shouldn’t have been used as a roadmap, or incompetently generated code that offshore assumes is correct because it compiles. This will all get built up and built around until it’s both a broken design AND deeply embedded in your stack. The new role of a senior dev will be contract work slicing these Gordian knots.

I look forward to seeing it on Ashens.

I’m 237 years old, a retired phosphate miner in Nauru. I learned to drive on manual transmissions but now refuse to drive anything not powered by a turbo-encabulator, with the exception of Starfleet shuttlecraft. I also hate questions that encourage people to give away personal or census data without considering that is what’s happening.
