How do I do with a detached head?

Check the log to find the hash. Then you can merge with your master.

[-] sntx@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Fork the parent and orphan the child, isolate it's environment and kill it as well, once everything conpleted.

In Dutch, the term for civil engineering works, especially in infrastructure is "kunstwerk", as in an artificial work like a concrete wall, a steel overpass, a masonry canal, etc. That sets it apart from an earthwork, like a ditch, berm or other feature.

But "kunstwerk" also means "work of art", as in the Mona Lisa or The Scream. And thats a regular, non-jargon word. So that occasionally leads to fun when I tell someine I recently worked on a "work of art" on the highway near Amsterdam, and people look at me really weird. Or I use a phrase like "well, you can really stack dirt that high, so we'll have to design some art to fix the problem".

[-] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 4 points 7 months ago

Similar things are true in german. We have "Ingenieurs-kunst", which literally means "art of engineering", and it's a common word. But also, "Kunst" means art like in Painting, etc.

He got out for a duck.

He's setting him up for a googly.

That flipper stayed low.

Thats another impressive tail wag by the aussies.

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

  • Faulty carbon unit

I really like faulty carbon unit, I haven't heard that one before XD

I think I might start having to use PICNIC.

[-] DABDA@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

It sounds innocuous when used conversationally too so it's less likely to be picked up as derogatory.
A: "Was the user's login problem difficult to fix?"
B: "Nah, that was a PICNIC to troubleshoot."

I assumed we'd hold the release label until QC has had a chance to do a full regression. Let's take this offline, we can do a breakout after standup.

I don't know about making no sense, but photography, especially fim, has some fun phrases: subjects are lit up and shot. Afterwards, you go into a dark room and blow them up, burn them (if you don't dodge), and stick them in an acid bath.

In reality, it's lighting and taking a picture, projecting it onto photo paper, basic edits (darkening/ lightening specific areas), and processing the photo paper.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Always be sure to open the bunghole before you hook up the agitator.

I dunno, this one just sounds like common sense to me.

Mostly weird abbreviations and insulting nicknames.

"Cxl per Sparky e/o ssnA. Cust NFG."

"Mark says to cancel this order at the end of A season. The customer is no fucking good, probably won't ever show up."

My yellow pots are not saturated, looks like I am low on red chips. Will have to stamp down some more and let the floating hairdryers build it.

Odd groups got left, even groups got right. That means 1, 3, 5, 7 left; 2, 4, 6, 8 right. 7 & 8 are whelp groups. Ok listen the fuck up. You are going to DPS very very slowly. Now, and by slowly I mean fucking slow. If you get aggro, it means you are going to lose 50dkp because you didn't know what the fuck to do. And watch the fucking tail. If you get into the whelps, you lose 50dkp again, for not being where the fuck you were supposed to be. There is no aggro reset. There is some shit about an aggro reset when people don't know how to manage their aggro. After 2 sunders you can basically start doing damage to it. Assuming you know how aggro works and you don't over-aggro. Ok nuke it, dot it. Help the whelp groups. When it's in phase 2, nuke it as hard as possible. You want to get it down as fast as possible. Have dots up on every time, 2 rows, shadow word pain, warlock curses, rends, everything. I don't see enough dots, more dots now. Come on more DPS. Hit it like you mean it. You'll have time to rest in phase 3 while I'm getting the aggro. Remember, save all your aggro reducing abilities for when it lands. That means feign death, vanish, fucking fade, anything you can use to reset aggro. At 40% you will stop dots, until then you will throw more dots. Throw more dots, more dots, more dots ... come on more dots. Ok, stop dots. Now hit it very hard ... and very fast. Lee run to the center, Mulgras run to the center, Forsyte run to the center, Nurf run to the center, Isis run to the center. Whatever the fuck you do, do not stand next to other people. Mulgras, center. Just heal me. Lee do not... go away from the head lee. Go away. Ok DPS, slowly. Come here you fucking cunt. Watch the tail! Whelps! Crushim was feared into... Who the fuck was that? Crushim, what the fuck? Whelps, left side! Even side! Many whelps! Now, handle it! Fuck! That's a fucking 50dkp minus! What the fuck was that shit? If you stand in the right fucking place, there is no way you are going to fucking get into the goddamn whelps, whatever fucking fear, tailswipe, whatever the fuck ok? It's like one in a fucking million. From the fucking north corner to the middle into the fucking whelp cave, it's not even fucking remotely imaginable!

Computers are an endless source of these. Someone else already mentioned daemons and killing orphans; I submit "I only ever ssh into that box, so I keep it headless." ("I only ever access that computer via the terminal, so I don't install any software that uses graphics.")

Conlanging (constructing languages) inherits all the jargon of linguistics, and then adds a bunch of slang on top for good measure. "I was worried that glomming tense markers to subjects in my analytic clong was unnaturalistic, but it turns out ANADEW" is the kind of thing I might say in a casual conversation with another conlanger.

German medical abbreviations like SH# re, probably needing a PFNA or HTEP. Gotta prepare the papers for the AHB. Translates to broken femur at the right hip, needs a (huge) Nail or artificial hip to fix. Insurance usually pays for rehab right after the surgery so we fill out the application for that.

Also, patient has very low BI, probably won't get the AHB. Let's search for a KZP.

"The one thing about working concom is that fen sometimes enjoy freaking the mundanes."

The one thing about working as science fiction convention staff is that your attendees sometimes like being weird to outsiders, just to see them react in amusing ways, and that can be annoying to deal with.
