Please share your triumph of the day

Had Slab Burger today.  Makes everything OK. 

[Valkyrie]

Met some childhood/high school friends. One I haven't seen in 10 years, the other I haven't seen in.. 6-7 years. It was fun, they were really nice just like before. Also they all looked the same as before, hopefully they don't think I look like an aged hag or something, that's one of my fears.

Here's the thing about aging. It is happening to them too. They're probably as worried about looking like an old hag as you are.

[Freaky Fred]

Ate popcorn at work.

Didn't get any stuck in my teeth

[Mr Gilhaney]

Finally came back to work a weeks time ago, after being out 2 months with my liver trying to kill me. Feels fucking amazing to be a somewhat functioning human again.

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm getting a desk at the new Vector Institute. 

[Valkyrie]

Installed a 5Ghz router and moved it closer to my desktop. Games are actually playable now, and it no longer feels like surfing on dial-up. Still not able to use a wired connection, but this is way better than it was.

As of 3 days ago, I'm a first-time uncle...

Why not just buy a LAN cable from amazon and roll it out when you're ready to play?

[Valkyrie]

I already have one, but my stepdad isn't easy to convince with "running cables through the house".

But things work for now, and I'll be able to do what I want once I have my own place again. (Btw, we don't have Amazon here, but that belongs in the struggle thread.)

[Nabbis]

Slightly drunk and posting on The Bore, well, shitposting.

After 2 weeks of hail and rain, it's finally snowing! My daughter hasn't seen it before so she's very confused.

[shosta]

had a rough day but didn't drink! \o/

[The Sceneman]

Today I sat the last exam for my university year, and I'm pretty sure I smashed it. I had done about 20 hours revision, and it paid off! The paper was COMP103: Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms. Crossing my fingers for that crispy A grade.

Dunno why this makes me so happy.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Its election time here

some right winger wanted to give me a flyer, I said no thanks Im not a fan of the Folksparti and walked past him

he gave the flyer to my 3 year old that was walking behind me

I saw this, took it from her, crumpled it and flicked it at him

told him my grandma went to auschwitz because of these nazi ways of thinking and I despise it

he told me “but one of our members is jewish” assuming I was and this could make a dif to me

told him “great you can hate on muslims and foreigners together”

sure its not activism but feels good telling these distinguished mentally-challenged fellows whats up

[desert punk]

Well done Lager, well done

[shosta]

Picked up the keys to go to the bar. Today was finally the day.
Then I put the keys down. Not today.

[sinxtanx]

pants that haven't fit in years fit again

[Tasty]

Got my fourth Google Home today.

Thank goodness for that Pixel 2 promo.

Even though it's the Mini the sound output is way beyond what I expected. Not as bass-y as my three other proper Homes, but crystal clear and good mids/highs.

[Madrun Badrun]

Your lifestyle disgusts me.

Can you play music on all the homes at the same time?

Had my first personal patient today. It really is fun to ask questions when they have their mouths full of stuff.

Are you a dentist? I knew they did it just to fuck with people!

No, gynecologist.

Yeah, im a fake doctor(to be). Though most of the time i do it accidentally and keep thinking "why the hell does he/she not answer?".

Just masturbated while Look Who’s Talking Too (the one with Roseanne) played in the background. Not sure if this is a high or a low.

[Valkyrie]

Met an old friend at the store, and it was one of those "Let's hang out one day" kinda things where you just say it but never intend. But when I got home, I actually messaged her to ask if she wanted to meet on Friday at a local cafe, and she said yes. So we're gonna meet tomorrow.

I don't know if this is a minor convenience or a triumph.

[Madrun Badrun]

I didn't realize you are one of those people.

Rekindling past romantic and sexual relationships is always a triumph.

[Valkyrie]

Uh, what's that supposed to mean?

She's the one who asked me, and I figured by the way she said it, she actually wanted to so I messaged her. I don't say that stuff to others (unless I actually wanna hang out).

Rekindling past romantic and sexual relationships is always a triumph.

If I swung that way, she wouldn't be my type.

[bork]

1. Co-worker sends someone instructions to fix an issue.
2. The requester responds to me directly, thanking me for my help.  Our names aren't similar, nor are our email addresses.  She also mentions me by name.
3.

Glad to be of service!

[I'm a Puppy!]

I'm the same way, I don't say "let's hang out sometime" and not mean it.

[Madrun Badrun]

I never joke.  Tried it once and it wasn't for me. 

[desert punk]

I'm the same way, I don't say "let's hang out sometime" and not mean it.

Yeah me neither. I came to hate this phony shit because when I do try to contact them about meeting up they usually find some excuse to postpone it, indefinitely. So now when I stumble upon an old acquaintance and he or she offers "to hang out", I just nod noncommittally or I just flat out say "Yeah maybe...". 

[Raist]

I never joke.  Tried it once and it wasn't for me.

Did you use protection at least?!

[Madrun Badrun]

The pope said not to. 

[Huff]

When I say maybe I always mean no

[chronovore]

When I say maybe I always mean no

You might be Japanese…

[Madrun Badrun]

Or a parent.  You said we'd go get icecream after the doctor's Huff.  You always lie. 

[chronovore]

Tried the Pomodoro productivity method (via an app) for the first today. So far it seems amazing!

[nudemacusers]

Well, happy news to report. Went through a difficult period this week, had a dinner jacket that no longer fit and an upcoming soirée next month. Crisis. Thankfully I managed to get a replacement for a good price ($100).

Huge relief and weight off my shoulders. Had trouble sleeping and dealing with it. Also my wife’s OB found some irregularities in the fetal heart during an ultrasound Tuesday so we went to Boston children’s hospital yesterday, met with a specialist, did another look and it turned out to be nothing. Which is also a good thing this week, I suppose.

[Valkyrie]

Oh, congrats on the future spawn! Happy to hear it's healthy.

I've done computer work for a specialist place like this. It's hard to do your work when someone is crying in the other room.  :'(

I'm glad your kiddo will be ok.

Yeah that place is intense. The doc basically said he was doubly glad because he rarely gets to tell people good news. 

[zomgee]

What language?

[shosta]

Not JavaScript, that's for sure.

http://racket-lang.org/

Gonna tell you this only once to make sure you don't fall into this hole. Don't have any deeply held opinions about technology, especially considering you just started out and barely know what you're talking about. Especially don't become some kind of LISP evangelist just because you read an Erik Naggum rant or Paul Graham essay on the internet. Don't form bad habits early. Be open minded. It's really funny that you'd take a shit all over Javascript despite having like 1 day worth of programming experience even though learning web development could actually land you a job and absolutely no one will ever hire you for Scheme ever. Punk.

Anyway it totally sounds like you're doing Land of Lisp. Never read it myself but good on you, stay motivated.

[archnemesis]

There is an Unity course on Udemy that is pretty good. One of the seven games that you'll create is a Space Invaders clone.

[Tasty]

I was trying to trigger Tasty Meat with that post.

I get paid six figures to write code in my favorite language, so I honestly don't care.
