I would not fuck a Tesla.

For small projects, I’ll use csv files for my data.

It’s much faster for me to prototype concepts in simple text files than designing and building a database.

Once the project matures or scales large enough, I’ve usually reached the point I’m going to rewrite it from scratch “the right way”, so will build a database if it makes sense.

Maybe one in twenty projects reach the point it’s worth moving.

Laughed at the humor in a game? High on life had some really good stuff in the opening hour.

Laughed at the situation in a game? My recent play through of the ever chaotic madness that is Far Cry 2.

I don’t know about San Andreas, but the GTA III co op mod was something pretty special. It took the other players coordinates and assigned them to your last vehicle, which didn’t despawn.

There were no on foot player characters, but you could drive around together in a game with absolutely no multiplayer or online elements at all.

Just turned 50 and still ride a skateboard.

I work in corporate Audio Video, and program in all the main AV languages. I specialize in AMX / Netlinx, but do Crestron, Extron, and various DSP programming as well.

Tie it all back to web applications where I primarily use PHP.

Been learning Python as that looks to be where things are going in the next 5 years.

This shouldn’t work… Why the hell does it work, don’t touch it!!

I write code in a niche industry, in an even more niche language.

With 20 years experience I am finally at the point that much of my stuff works without too much headache.

Unfortunately, now that I’m finally good at it, it’s become a much smaller part of my overall job.

Nothing I look forward to more than being left alone for a few hours with my headphones on banging out a project.

My brother built his own car, someone from the state had to come out, certify it, and put the VIN stamp on it. Had to have a roll bar, seat belts, and pass modern emissions standards.

For a Willy’s jeep, the best thing you could do is find a roached out one and build it up from scratch. Like a firearm, there are just some key components that have to remain original. The frame and VIN might be all you actually need, and since it’s vintage, you’d only have to pass the safety and emissions standards of that era.

I don’t think so, and that is as a huge NIN fan. It’s ok, it has a Tron feel to it, but nowhere near as good as Daft Punk.

Oh I want to play with my family, it’s just that the bastards are all musicians who have been playing for 40 years.

Same, got Rocksmith and a couple bass guitars. Love it, but even after five years I’m not willing to try playing in front of anyone.

Give him a theoretical prize in physics

I did it for a few years, and blew through all my savings in the process.

Had to start an actual business, LLC, and deal with all the parts that as an engineer I absolutely hate.

Had done about 15 years in the industry with a small tech company, had all the skills, leads, etc, and wanted to do it on my own.

Way underestimated how much time and effort the running of a business part takes, and while I had projects, I didn’t have the time to do them right, payment was always late so my profit shrank, and I burned out in two years.

Hired an admin to help with managing the projects and clients, but it was too little too late.

I’m not saying don’t do it, I’m saying be sure to have all those other elements well in place, cause the actual time spent programming was pretty small.

In the end I took a role as the on site guy for a very large company, making decent money, and I’m back doing the parts I enjoy.

Best of luck to you.

Why is there a next target? Are we at war? We used to declare war on everything, drugs, poverty, crime, but we didn’t send in the Marines.

This can’t be the new normal.

This is a big part of it. I’m 50, and still skateboard a couple times a week. Sure, they aren’t close friends, but the people I hang out with at the parks give me all the personal interaction I need.

Granted, I am a bit of a hermit by nature.

I watch plenty of game stuff online, but there is no way I’m spoiling a game I’ve waited 20 years to play.

I’ll never get the chance to play an OG Zelda for the first time again.

I have the N64 version, as well as the switch.

Think I’ll probably play it on switch just to have wireless controller.

Majoras Mask. I’ve bought it, but am too wrapped up in factorio, another one I waited far to long to play.

Nothing wrong with having one sexual partner, and a small but relyable support group consisting of friends and family.

My girlfriend is an amazing woman, but I certianly don’t rely on her for everything. We live together, and she hears about most of my stuff, but there are hobbies and technical things I save for the people who are into those things.
