  • I may be part of the ‘cult’ - I watch it once or twice a year when it’s shown in the local cinema.

    But I won’t defend the movie - it’s really bad in every possible way, and the background story of how it was made is at some points also sketchy.

    But sitting with friends and others who knows the movie, and have a fun time yelling quotes is just that, fun. Nothing more, nothing less.

    From time to time I bring people who don’t know the movie, and I make sure to inform them, that they should expect the worst movie ever, but perhaps the most fun they’ve had going to a movie.


  • I really want to switch to Linux, but I’ve been told this before and then ended up spending hours trying to get everything to work, and usually give up … but it’s been a couple of years since I tried the last time, so is this the right time?

    I have zero interest in the technical parts of Linux or setting things up. I want things to work out if the box. I may have to dual boot because of WoW and MS Flight Sim, but if everything else works it may be worth it.

    Edit: wow thanks for the answers. You may have convinced me to try again.





  • Most programming languages uses = to copy a value into whatever whatever you put on the left side. You did it with TooClose, which you set to true.

    But when you compare values as you do with the if statement, you need another operator, otherwise CanReadThis will be set to true and the if statement will always run (or syntax error), making it unnecessary.

    Compare operators are typically == and/or === and some languages uses their own like ‘eq’ or other exciting ways.

    Languages and compilers works in different ways, but your program could look like this. (When comparing a Boolean you don’t need the operator, you can just write the variable since it’s either true or false)

    If (CanReadThis) { TooClose = true; }




  • So once a year there is a bonus pool at around $10.000 which everyone can apply for if you think you have the arguments to convince the bosses.

    So one of my coworkers applied but instead of just emailing the boss, she emailed everyone. This was an email mentioning how much better she was than most of the department, and then throwing a few coworkers under the bus, to make her look better.

    It’s been a few years. She’s still there. She actually got the bonus. 🤷🏽‍♂️
