GrimthR, hells yeah!!  It's almost like the prophet is inundated by silly nerds and learns from his mistakes
I starred in a Grimthr LCS run once.  Hard to imagine now, for a couple reasons, but it sure was a thrill!

Well he got Lu Bu in one go. Then I got him on the first CE of Hong Kong Tung Chee-hwa, becuase Akinator crashed after guessing on one try for like 20m.

This description below it made me lol: "comments disabled until the end of the Memefucker Era"

That vid was posted back in 2012.

Beat Akinator a few more times, going for former Hearts goalies.

He got Craig Gordon, presently of Celtic and Scotland, after a few failures. Failed to get Gilles Rousset and - somewhat surprisingly - Antti Niemi, who played for Finland 67 times, as well as several English Premiership teams.

That's only part of the problem.

You mean troubleshooting? A basic skill that one needs to develop if they want to solve problems (and use computers)?

Lack of troubleshooting skills are part of why there are compatibility issues, because users who recognize problems don't report issues or solutions accurately or sometimes not at all. Expecting web programmers to anticipate every issue that may arise is unrealistic, that's why on larger projects there are teams dedicated to QA who have to confirm the issue and then report it in a way that allows programmers to quickly resolve it. There are usually a small team of programmers and significantly larger base of users who all have different setups, your expectations are unfair.

This WTF keeps getting better... no I don't mean troubleshooting.  I mean the fact that, especially with web-based software, the end-users are being treated as testers instead of, as you say, actually having a QA department handle things.  Expecting that things like clearing cache and cookies is something your users should do is awful.  Here's why:  anything your user can do to your cache, your code can do it too!  Your web code should be doing some kind of sanity checking on itself to fix cache / cookie issues so your user doesn't have to.  Or at least give an appropriate error, rather than presenting a UI that half looks like it is functioning but then just... stops.  What I mean by that is - if your site requires cookies, DON'T PROCEED LIKE YOU HAVE THEM ENABLED IF THEY AREN'T.

I troubleshoot technology all day for work, I don't wan't to have to troubleshoot websites because they don't even put in basic error checking or code paths for anything that doesn't match exactly what they expected to happen.

So yeah, get off my lawn and all that... 

[Parsely]

Fair enough. I've still got a lot to learn about web coding.

I put down sticky traps in my room and they immediately caught three mice in as many hours. I also got an ultrasound emitter that should keep them out. Hopefully that's the last I see of them.

More worrying are the droppings that have appeared on the stove top this weekend. They seem way too big to be from the mice, so most likely we have a rat infestation as well. The pest guy is coming tomorrow, I just hope he's more effective than last time.

On a wall next to a pool table are the rules for snooker. Several rooms away on another wall next to a snooker table are the rules for pool.

We've got rat droppings in the cupboard above our range hood. Equally worried.

[Frumple]

Perhaps y'all should consider... cats. Cat infestation is much more purry. I guess there's dog breeds engineered for rat hunting, too, if it came to it. They don't purr nearly as much, though.

... though it does remind me of the time a rat got in my house when I was much, much younger, and we shortly got treated to the sight of one of the resident felines hauling off a rat that was bigger than the cat was. Furry little superpredator ftw.

[Egan_BW]

The number of neat little physical features cats have is frankly unfair. ;-;

What's the difference between the tables? I thought they looked the same.
