I'm not gonna hot sauce shame anybody frand, I just generally don't much like the vinegar sauces and have found that chipotle heavy ones work in their place most times. With seafood tho I like malt vinegar

I like tobasco as vinegar heavy because it's potent and distinct.

The only bad hot sauces are ones with extract

Hey emfive, this is Alec. I am glad you like the mummy eating the bowl of shitty pasta with a can of 'parm.' I made that image for you way back when. I’m glad you enjoy it.
A decade or so ago my company asked a big credit card processor for info on the relationship between the internal transaction identifiers they gave us through a back channel corresponded to the alphanumeric transaction IDs you see on your statements. The only "documentation" they could send us was IBM 370 assembly language with comments dated to the 80s.

Fun fact: the code includes lots of checks to make sure that a transaction ID doesn't accidentally include substrings like FUK or C0K

A major fundamental thing you learn from working even peripherally in the financial tech industry is that the fact anything works at all is an incredible miracle. Like, there's nothing one person could to do make the system more loving awful than it actually is.

OK here's another good one (and note that I'm hardly a super-hard-core insider): working with a big giant bank, my startup was implementing a way to provide access to ACH payments - the way you move money between financial institutions (automated clearing house). It's arcane and weird. Anyway one of our QA people did a test to verify that ludicrously large transactions from bogus source accounts would properly fail. It didn't.

Suddenly the US money supply increased by like $100,000,000. The bank people were really mad and had to be talked off the ceiling by explaining that we had verified that the mechanism (which they had asked us to do) probably wouldn't be a good idea to expose to customers.

This is literally true, and the amount of manual intervention in stuff like people's credit card accounts to fix broken poo poo is beyond belief.

Seriously, the economy absolutely should not function if you look at everything from an engineering point of view.

Dealing a legal blow to the Trump administration, a federal appeals court ruled on Monday that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot suspend an Obama-era rule to restrict methane emissions from new oil and gas wells.

The 2-to-1 decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is the first major legal setback for Scott Pruitt, the EPA administrator, who is trying to roll back dozens of Obama-era environmental regulations. The ruling signals that President Trump's plans to erase his predecessor's environmental record are likely to face an uphill battle in the courts.

lol that it's gotten to the point we need to prevent the EPA from doing things in order to protect the environment

Like, you'd think (if you spent the time to contemplate it) that the system that processes your credit card transactions at the gas station or grocery store or whatever would be able to identify every single transaction. I mean, all it would take is a number, and computers can deal with huge numbers, so that should be easy.

Nope.
