@KthulhuKat yeah, just blocked someone who I previously thought was mostly cool, but revealed themselves to be dickweed. But I think that makes only a total of 4 blocks in over a year, so mastodon's doing well.
@kimdanes nor is the Surprise Dick a good party move.
@boobs_idiot that's certainly a more practical one than my "ability to flip cigarette butts back into the litterbug's car".
Diving further into that code, I find they took my advice from a few years ago to use classes to manage their C++ code...
... but didn't use any subclasses. Instead, they have FooHelper.h, which #ifdefs the public class methods for each Foo-class variant to macros like FOO_INIT, FOO_SETUP, FOO_RUNFOO, FOO_SET_PARAM, and so on for each of a number of classes. There's also a FooHelper.cpp, which implements the parts of that whackyness which don't fit neatly into macros.
So I work with a team of people who are extremely bright in a number of ways, but rather knuckleheads in others. f'rinstance, take error handling in their code. Some functions return 0 for success, 1 for failure; some the opposite. Some return negative values for failure. Some throw exceptions. Some return nothing, and most ignore the return values anyway. It all depends on who coded what, so you often have all these commingled in any one file.
Guess who gets to sort that whole mess out now?
@brook that is a most excellent fish. Thank you.
@starbreaker they should do a three album series.
@Aicaya yay for Grandma!
@gargron that's closer than OnTrac ever gets to us. They usually drop our packages in the mud by the side of the road 400 meters away (despite the sign), then log it as "Delivered To Receiving Area".

@Averly cheese scientists are studying Cheezits' oddly variable nature. Normally they're around magnitude 0.5, but if a cheeseologist on a road trip pulls into a truck stop & no goldfish are present, the Cheezits'll have cheese magnitude of 4 to 8 (depends on regular, parmesan, or spicy). Researchers try to find if goldfish actively suppress the Cheezits’ magnitude or if it's a hallucination induced by the need to have something to snack on for the next 500 miles that isn't a goddam potato chip.
@Averly I would like to disagree. Cheese balls pale in comparison to goldfish, and exist merely to provide an intermediate step between goldfish and all other cheesy snacks, as seen by the following cheesy snack magnitude scale (presented here courtesy of the International Cheesology Union):
Goldfish - 10
Cheese balls - 1
All other cheesy snacks - 0.1
So it would have to be a really huge cheese ball barrel to exceed goldfish.
@gargron @CobaltVelvet as a fine evening of Lazy Ass Porch Sitting come to an end, I just wanted to say thanks to you (and all the rest of Mastodon, particularly octodon) for creating this amazing place. 💗
@susannah I'd have been worried that they'd taste like Vienna sausage grapes.
