My bank: This is not a secure password. Must include two special character and upper case letters.

You have no idea what you're doing.

@nixCraft or in my case... Password must be between 8 and 16 characters. I wish I was joking.

@chriscoyier this is a problem in higher education websites too. Often managers are pressured value analytics above UX/UE and the actual content readers are trying to find.

You know how exercise is supposed to release all these endorphins and dopamine and shit that help relieve stress and give you a sort of natural high?

Yeah well, I just perfectly peeled a hard boiled egg and the satisfaction I feel is probably that of a world class Olympian but without all that intensive training, competition, and crotch sweat.

I AM UNSTOPPABLE AND EASILY EXCITED.

One of the servers in the cluster in the backup data center is waiting for traffic, and all apps are sitting. The command is run by unprivileged user, hence you won't see all tasks.

    @chris perhaps the college dream of Fight Club's Project Mayhem is becoming a reality. 😂

    In the film adaptation their goal was to destroy all recorded debt.

    Is there a pen that you weren’t fond of at first, but later became one of your favorites? What changed to make that happen?

    josephdickson,
    @josephdickson@mastodon.social avatar

    @penfount the Muji aluminum fountain pen, it was a surprise gift from my wife and I use it a lot more often than I thought I would. It uses a nicely made Western fine steel nib.

    @chris nope. I've done it too. You're not alone. Sadly, my In-laws still use that cabinet... They put a doily over the spot to hide the damage. But, I know what's under that soft knit fabric. 😂

    What new CSS stuff has arrived that you've thought “that looks cool, but I can't see it being overly useful in real world projects”?

    @andy not new, !important has caused more problems than it solved. Particularly when I inherit a project. 😉
