restaurants that put ice in soda.

soda comes out of the tap at 40 degrees.

nobody wants your dirty frozen water filling my cup to pad your already high drink margins and water my drink down.

begins open letter to all fast food joints
If your soda is coming from tap, then I have bad news for you... It comes as a syrup and is mixed with carbonated tap water
 
Meanwhile back to cats...

If this goes on like this we will reach page 666 tomorrow., I don't want to miss that moment, I got a few liters of holy water and 2 magazines with silver bullets (6mm BBs because I don't have a real gun) ...I also have grandma's silver cutlery. This will be fun I always wanted to fight the undead hordes with a butter knife and a spoon

all soda comes from syrup and is mixed with carbonated water.

Ice however is frozen and stored in a bin that is not cleaned daily. fungus (mold) grows in the bin area.

that's not conjecture... it's fact.

plus, it waters down the drink regardless of how clean you think the ice is.

I declared war on the local McDonald's because they always pour ice into my soda even when I told them not to. That's why I have been banned from all burger restaurants in the area for 5 years. Thats why I had to learn how to make my own burgers ...after 5 years they are pretty acceptable and I think the fast food industry hates me for this. I love it when a plan comes together

Thats not me, the most terrifying weapon I have is a Nerf gun, I wrote them a decent letter and enclosed an old disposable glove with which they should beat themselves
well, when I think about it again I did not declared war on them but challenged them to a duel ... nevermind, I am not good with these war things when I am not sitting in front of my computer
 
At least I get no work related mails today because our service provider has borked up a migration at the same level as Odyssey 👍
You are screwed, never change your provider, I changed mine last year and they misplaced my telephone numbers, 4 weeks without working phone that I needed to make my job was a nightmare. But at least the Internet was working, 400Mb fibre with a ping of 4ms is nice

i have a couple nerf guns too. i may have upgraded them with brushless motors and 3c lipo batteries running on little circuit python microcontrollers... and the darts will bruise you if i have it on the higher speed settings and you are anywhere within a few dozen feet.

don't worry about accuracy. that's why you use the 45 dart mags and preload multiples.

This is the first time I kept myself out of this mess and let our CTO handle it because he thought he knew how to... :)

I'm in for the popcorn today at work...

I don't want to scare you, but I am some sort of CTO , and I had done the paperwork meticulously. It was the fault of the provider, all two of them. I got compensated, that is not the point, but the fact was that I didn't have my phone number for 4 weeks and I couldn't do anything against it.

forgot to add the link :cautious:

You can't scare me this way - our CTO is just a special case of Dunning-Kruger sometimes. :)
 
Suffering from overestimating ourselves is part of our job description, pretending to be absolutely self-confident while being totally ignorant is perfectly normal
The best CTOs I worked with did neither have any reason to overestimating themselves and delegated work instead of doing them themselves to people who are qualified to do this.

Yes, self confidence is a important part of a CTO (was there, didn't like the job, not practical enough) but overestimating yourself not really.

Disclaimer: Perhaps "overestimating" has another connotation in my mind than in yours ("language barrier", non-native speaker here). For me it's the unfounded belief in not existing own talents and capabilities.
 
Agreed.
Coffee supply a bit thin nonetheless.

It is coffee alone that sets my mind in motion.
It is the juice of the bean that thoughts acquire speed, the eyes acquire red rims, the rims become a warning.
