Well you're not a real sword fight either, buddy.

Do you guys think a knight or a samurai would win in a sword fight?

I'm going to go with knight

If you really care, someone has a lot to say on the subject:

If I had to guess based on what videogames have taught me:

Full-plate armor allowed - Knight Wins, but Samurai could easily escape
Plain clothes - Samurai Wins

I've always wondered which sword is considered the most deadly. So many cultures throughout history have had unique swords.

I think it's the light saber.

Japan has the coolest shit. 3 scared treasures used by gods to kill monsters and unify Japan. What does America have? A bell. A cracked bell. Did it kill any gods or otherwise unravel the strands of reality? Nope! All it did was signal the end of persecution from rich white people in Europe and begin persecution from rich white people more locally.

How much cooler would it be if we had a Sword of America.

To believe or not to believe. Looks pretty legit though with screenies. Excited! Kinda prefer the Bloodborne aesthetic after playing through it, but might be a refreshing change of pace.

Work story:

A developer was helping me with a script that I needed to test something. Once complete, he said, "If that doesn't work, let me know and I can give you a tickle in a different spot." Cracked my shit up.


Note: This sounded a lot less creepy when it was spoken, not read.

I did not do this intentionally...

It's the only read-only file in the directory and hence the only one with the padlock emblem.

Haha...I also mis-spelled the file name.

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

Yo Potter how about that fucked up Level3 outage caused by those Malaysians?

This is why you filter routes and set max prefixes limits with your BGP peers and shit.

Yea, I just bought the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray of the film that my avatar came from, and forgot that it was still my avatar until after seeing that scene again.

I took my Fitbit off yesterday before playing some Beet and I forgot to put it back on God darn it I need my steps!

Beet gives you a crazy high number of steps in case you were wondering. I can probably reach my daily 10,000 step goal in like an hour of Beet play.
