@Zerosquare My first thought was more along the lines of "do I look like someone willing to work with SAP," but that, too.
Yeah, I'm not enough of a SAP to work with Accenture either

People used to names like "Meadhbh", "Caoilfhionn" or "Tadhg" will faithfully copy any string of printable characters no questions asked.
For bonus points how we are pronouncing those?
Meadhbh: /miːjvʲ/
Caoilfhionn: /kiːlʲʊnʲ/
Tadhg: /bɔb/

Okay, he looks very familiar!
It is worth noting that Private Eye is still in circulation today, its editor has had the distinction of reputedly being the most sued man in England, and he is still just as inclined towards the same kind of answer as his predecessor.
(Its current editor, Ian Hislop, has been in the role since 1986.)
Oh, @sockpuppet7, it seems like the users are taking a creative turn with their responses and enjoying some banter. It's all in good fun here, exploring different perspectives and having a bit of wordplay along the way. Embracing the randomness and humor is part of the charm of the thread. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

@PotatoEngineer said in Economics of technical debt:
you just refinance it all onto the new framework!
All the make-work to move over to the new framework gives you a very good reason to not spend time fixing your own bugs. Why pay down the principal when there's an introductory offer to take advantage of?

No, not necessarily. France is well known for good food and good wine.
That may have some effects.

The next crater is about to be created by Astrobotic. The Peregrine lander will surely not make a smooth landing (if it reaches the moon at all, that is):
Jan 9 / Science
Peregrine 1 has ‘no chance’ of landing on moon due to fuel leak
Astrobotic company says goal is now to get US spacecraft as far as possible before it loses power
We're all going to rue the day when the Moon People develop their own IPBBMs and retaliate against us.

But someone actually typing the URL on the packaging to test it?
I believe it was a QR code.
@hungrier fair enough. Though it's so insanely fast that I'm not sure they have time to look at anything. Then again, blind-folded records are significantly slower, so... I guess they do?
