@user I wouldn't know. I've never eaten a human.

I suspect you meant equines (horses) and not equestrians (horse riders) :)

user

Whoops

terdon

Or, I don't know. People have strange tastes ;)

user

@terdon I'm too proud to admit I'm wrong, so let's just pretend I'm a cannibal :P

Well, I used to be a cannibal before discovering the magical properties of waffles

terdon

Ah, a reformed cannibal. Wonderful!

user

Well, I'm a monkey now, so it doesn't count as cannibalism anymore anyway

terdon

6:06 PM

Dunno, code monkeys are a pretty wide category as species go.

user

I'd love to see a programmer ride a unicorn through an office building

user728672

@user Second does yesterday. Muscle fatigue, injection site soreness. Nothing else yet.

user728672

I hear unicorn meat is the best.

user

Perhaps the best meat, but surely not the best food

There's nothing like a waffle drenched in maple and chocolate syrup, with slices of a banana on top

I had the same reaction to both, tiredness, stomach issues, mild headaches. Less on the 2nd jab though. Passed within a day or so. I had the AZ jabs

Both times the reaction was a couple of days delayed.

Moderna, and hopefully I won't have any more issues.

The word unicorn appears 46 times in the Stack Overflow codebase, 42 of which are to a function called formatUnicorn

One of which is to this adorable illustration

user

What about the last 3?

Kyle Pollard

Two are something with some fake link generation with the editor, and the last one is just some test data in an automated test

It's honestly less than I expected

The Complete List Of Unicorn Companies - CB Insights

Kyle Pollard

I think we qualify as a unicorn company? 🦄

decacorn and hectocorn are interesting new words from that link

user728672

most definitely. one that delivers waffles.

terdon

@KylePollard Oh man... The temptation to remove some just so there'd be exactly 42 must be overpowering!

Kyle Pollard

42 calls to formatUnicorn works for me :)

terdon

Fair!

6:55 PM

@KylePollard that sounds like the Jobs mascot (RIP?)

it had a name... but I can't recall it

Kyle Pollard

@g3rv4 It was in a developer story email, yeah!

g3rv4

:) I guess there are more unicorns in the Talent codebase

Kyle Pollard

@g3rv4 I count 7 in the Careers codebase!

99 total across the entire organization

g3rv4

disappointed

I was really proud of my cat pun here twitter.com/StackOverflow/status/1420779933132070913?s=20

@KylePollard Yours? Does Marketing come to you for puns now?

Kyle Pollard

@Catija Come hang out in #stackoverflowknows :)

Catija

... y'all have a channel for that? Oof.

Kyle Pollard

Here's my latest suggestion for the next batch

Q: How does Mickey Mouse's "upslide" work?

If a magic slide isn't fantasy I don't know what is. I've been watching The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my 21 month old and I'm becoming more and more frustrated by the "Upslide". When one person goes on the upslide, let's say Mickey, he sits on it backwards and the upslide pulls him up. When h...

Can you tell I've been watching with my toddler

Catija

Now that theme song is stuck in my head.

You are evil.

That show is ... so repetitive and weird.

Ah, but you don't have PBS kids, so I guess I have to make allowances. :P

Kyle Pollard

Yeah the greatest enemy of Canadian content: licensing restrictions

Catija

Trying to think of what else we watch on Disney... Oh Bluey... do y'all have that? It's adorable.

Kyle Pollard

Haven't heard of it, will give it a go :)

Catija

It's Australian, I think.

Two sisters (who are, I think Blue heeler dogs), and their parents. They have lots of fun playing pretend and learn a lot of valuable lessons about responsibility and stuff like that... That said, the parents make me feel guilty because they're way better parents than I am. :P

I have a bad Friday. Why do I write two meta answers today, one on MSO and one on MSE that both attract pedants that think leaving comments make me change my mind much.

Tinkeringbell

@rene That's the risk of writing answers on Fridays... Or Thursdays, Wednesdays, Tuesdays, Mondays, Sundays or Saturdays...

rene

That's comforting ;)

Tinkeringbell

I'm really good at that XD

rene

At least I looked up the word pedants so I learned a thing.

Q: Is this what 'No good deed goes unpunished' means?

Is this what 'No good deed goes unpunished' means? No matter how good you are or how many good deeds you do (or favors you do) for someone, s/he will always find fault with (bitch about) them and will not be truly appreciative. Could someone please cite an example of this idiom's usage, please?...
