    It sounds like you don't know people who are selective in details and change the narrative. I can mostly only think of women (black sheep sister comes to mind) in these examples (and two nephews), but many, many times that I've been present for something and later hear the other person's record of events, it's rarely accurate. There's a tone and attitude change, sometimes with added facial and head movements to emphasize something that didn't happen in the first place. They make someone appear bitchy when it was not originally. I will always call out someone misrepresenting someone else and expect them to come clean instead of exaggeration. But once it's happened twice, you can no longer treat them as credible.

  8. You can use different words to mean the same thing. You can't make the same word mean different things in the same context without confusion. Hence, the clarification on merge.

  9. Loophole with the nerd spying. Unknown harassment is clearly better than known harassment.

  10. "I was eventually let go because I couldn't find the leak anywhere outside of the code I suspected." You should have looked inside the place you suspected. I suspect my socks are in the drawer, I'm not going to look in my closet. Failure to communicate?

  11. Fuck off. Talking about sex is fine between mature adults and colleagues. It's being crude, derogatory and suggestive that generally is a problem. You've outted yourself as the prude. Take your judgement elsewhere.

    Growing up, a lot of stunts were shot Super Dave style, where the action starts and then camera switches to some far away shot where a dummy is clearly used and then cut to close up of aftermath with actor. Now, when you see a continuous sequence where some incredible shit happens in what appears to be continuous 2-3 fight scene, it's pretty fucking entertaining. 20 years ago, a horror movie didn't have much of a lasting effect with all the fake corn syrup and shit. But torture scenes are so real these days, I'm still fucked up from watching Hostile so many years ago.

    In v1607, the windows.old was changed from 30 days to 10 days. If you need that extra 12GB of space that badly, you probably need to upgrade anyways.

    Based on your last sentence, it's sounds like you could have started your response with that, so that your attack on him doesn't sort of finish with basically saying, "you'd be right in Texas, but not everywhere else". The person seems to have some idea, just not informed outside of Texas. I don't care enough to find out where this was filed, but seems like it should matter to your discussion when you're correcting someone that may be right.

    Microsoft says not to use for mission critical stuff. Your on your own if you want to do expensive shit with it. They may not want to license you a copy if you're going to use it in a nuclear plant and hold them to millions in liability. They specifically don't want to be liable for shit, and state as much in the EULA.
