Happy Pig Murder Season, Y’all!

My nose has been reminded tonight that this is the month the big industrial pig slaughterhouse ramps up to meet holiday demand from Thanksgiving through New Years.

Coming soon to theaters:

Detective Pikachu 2: Barrister Pikachu

Look at the cute London exclusive Pikachus in their suits and bowlers and clearly practicing law!

Looking up answers to VB6 things just makes me feel dumber by proxy. A 2004 commenter referred to the 18th century English word “asynchronous” as “clever Microsoft jargon” as if this word was amazingly confusing and invented on the spot for just this one use case. ☠️

This graveyard is haunted by idiots.

The further we get past the EOL for Windows XP, the more insufferable building and debugging VB6 gets. “Just have it launch the new app” they asked naively. Sure, but the new app doesn’t run in an XP virtual machine because Chromium (rightfully!) stopped supporting XP, so build it and pray it works, I guess? Even more Rube Goldberg machine to deliver EXEs from the VM to the main machine for testing?

This so much fun~ 👻 #SpookySeason

Finally finished pulling all of these teeth.

Resume doesn’t work.

Want to restart the episode from the beginning?

This is madness. 🤬😭😭😭

ARGH. I just want to watch the last twenty minutes of this episode. I’ve now wasted 20 minutes on ads I’ve already seen dozens of times tonight. 🔥🔥🔥

I love it when The CW app just gets confused and loops the same section of the show over and over including the ads and you have to fast forward to the next section but then it forces the same ads again.

I miss when The CW would cross post to Hulu so much.

Punchline: Can’t wait for all those new bugs when HBO Max launches. There’s no way AT&T won’t fail. 🤣 I won’t pay for it, but look forward to reading the horror stories.

Forcing myself to only buy October candy is I get a flu shot first seems to have worked. Sorry arm, pain now, cheap sugar later.

Burger with bacon, apple butter, horseradish cheddar on rye. Got the idea from a friend. Burger is plant based, bacon is dinosaur based. It’s a really good combo. Could have used a better plant based burger though. (This kind was on sale, tastes like peas.)
