Mrs Brown’s Boys - I was just scrolling through Brit Box and came across it. I had never even heard of it, and just picked it on a whim. I’ve only seen the first episode, but it had me and my wife rolling with laughter. I hadn’t laughed that hard at a show since the first time I watched IT Crowd.

Why does this read like a pip requirements.txt?

I built a new PC from the ground up a few year back. Every morning when I would sit down to start working I noticed it had rebooted around 6:30 am. I searched through every single log, ran all sorts of hardware scans, checked power outputs, dug through everything in Task Schedulers, and could not find a single reason it would keep rebooting. There were no Event Logs showing the reboot was initiated and no minidump files so it wasn’t a BSOD.

I woke up early one morning and sat in my office waiting for it to reboot and nothing. The next morning I go in my office at 8 and it had rebooted. Some mornings it would reboot and others it would not. I was convinced it had to be my power supply and was about to order a new one.

Then I came downstairs right at 6:30 one morning and caught my son walking out of my office. Turns out he was going into the office every morning and holding down the power button and forcing a reboot because liked watching all the RGB light turning all at once when it would turn on.

I’d say it’s on par with shows like Cobra Kai. It knows what it is, and doesn’t try to be anything more. It’s a fun action watch, with some good nostalgia and funny bits. Never takes itself too seriously.

I won’t say it’s the worst, but King of the Hill had a habit of contracting itself. Especially when it came to Peggy’s family.

One Piece - specifically the Wano arch. It was so long and drawn out. I just kept waiting for something to happen but the whole Oden backstory just drug on and on. Once they got back to the straw hats I completely lost interest. This was after making it through over 900 episodes.

I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety so I’m sticking with conform shows:

• Great British Bake Off - the new season is on par with past ones, but nothing really stands out
• Derry Girls - my mom, who is Irish Catholic, has been visiting and has never seen it
• Forged in Fire - just started a full rewatch. It’s fun to see how much things have changed over 10 seasons

I have 20 years experience in IT process automation, with the last 15 spent in consulting. The number one thing I’ve learned is businesses don’t care about the technology. I could write the coolest automation that covers 99% of potential issues, but if it costs more to run than having a person in India push a button, they won’t buy it.

I imagine part of it has to do with relatability. People like to insert themselves into the stories. And nostalgia is a strong drug. More people have experience with high school than college, so you’ll automatically appeal to a large audience.

In the episode he did on it he had to borrow it from Pat the NES Punk. Of course that was 14 years ago, so I assume he could have gotten his hands on them since.

Out of curiosity, what would you plug those into to get the best use of them? I couldn’t imagine the headphone jack on my motherboard would be able to take full advantage of them.

I don’t care what M$ says, Azure DevOps is being left for dead. As someone who worked on the System Center space for years, I know the signs of a product they want to kill but can’t. I’m convinced the only reason it is still around is because some internal teams haven’t moved to GitHub yet.

Back around this time I was in the military and each base had Public Folders in Outlook where people could post stuff for sale. I left my computer unlocked one day and one of my colleagues posted my car for free on there. This was also back when you would have like 25 MB mailbox limits. Needless to say my inbox got filled up in minutes.

We have Enzo Ferrari being a prick to thank for the birth of Lamborghini, the Shelby Cobra AC, and the Ford GT40

Lucas Limon - I never understood how kids could eat. Even before they found lead in it.

Kristen Schaal - I absolutely hated her in 30 Rock and that just stuck with me. But I’m starting to come around since What We Do in the Shadows. I also never had a problem with her voice acting.

A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn’t feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don’t know how long

Might as well throw some Artax memes in while we’re at it

Peggy Hill?
