“Wolfie”, did you read about Mr. Beckdawreck’s marksmanship in the snake thread?
He’s from Arkansas, y’all. :dubious:
Oh, Carni, you’re so silly!
I don’t think anyone needs all the details. But a few would be welcome, such as “board hacked”, “hardware problem”, or the like.
I more want one of these. I think it suits my personality better. I just refuse to order anything from Amazon until I get fired.
You’re welcome. 
You mean to tell me you actual-------------- never mind; too easy. 
“If you can’t take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It’s not safe out here. It’s wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it’s not for the timid.”
During? No. I want the problem fixed ASAP.
Afterward, on the other had, I wouldn’t mind some information, if only to satisfy my nearly insatiable curiosity.
No no - afterwards come the meetings where the management says “you should have planned for this outage in advance, so it didn’t impact the users”.
The next items on the agenda are
A) why we aren’t making deadlines
B) why we need more meetings to talk about why we aren’t making deadlines

PS - Whaddya mean pregnancy takes nine months? Get three women on it - then it will be done in three!
And if you could get me your TPS report by tomorrow noon, that’d be great.
I don’t. I don’t care what celebs think about things nor where they get their coffee.
I haven’t been on Facebook since they blocked me for daring to use my new phone to connect and want me to bug 3 friends to fetch some code numbers from somewhere. Don’t miss it, was only on monthly anyway.
Hey, where’s my fanfold 4-copy printer paper? or the rolls of fax paper? and my camera? [shakes fist]
But the Straight Dope is none of the above.
Loads of people don’t Tweet. Another shocker, loads of people don’t Facebook either. Ditto Instagram and Snapchat.
I don’t do Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. I follow a couple of people/places on Twitter (I don’t have any followers), but only one thing prompts a Tweet from me: when I come across an article with a MAJORLY OFFENSIVE grammatical error (I don’t even bother with the minor ones-- too many), I tweet the correction directly to the author. 
No one’s going to make you use Twitter if you don’t want to, but if you would like to eradicate your own ignorance about what really goes on there, please look at this tweet, written by a two-time Pulitzer finalist and fairly representative of what I read and respond to on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ronbrownstein/status/1159134774461530112?s=21
I rarely post any tweets, but I have a twitter account for one main reason- often the easiest way to get customer support from a lot of companies nowadays is to contact their social media folks on Twitter.
whether that’s a good or bad thing is not yet clear.
I’ve noticed there haven’t been any ads since the return of the time sink.
Aaaaaand of course as soon as I posted this, I see one. Though thankfully it’s not one of those super obnoxious video ads at the bottom, just a tiny banner mid thread.
Yes. At least I want a recorded message that says the problem is on your end, not mine. That’s why I spent 10 minutes going through computer screens and “tell me what your problem is” recorded messages with ATT customer support this afternoon just so I could talk to a live person who assured me it wasn’t my fault I couldn’t sign into my email.
They tell me when there is a planned outage. And I tell you. That’s how it works.
This was not planned. That happens sometimes, even to the best of sites. To be all technical about it, shit happens.
We are sorry you were inconvenienced.
