90% of programming I have seen after a decade plus of doing it full time is minor changes being made to code that was already made by someone. Likely not documented. Likely already changed in a dozen little ways. Math isn't the problem. Understanding what the guy who wrote it is often the problem.

Oh and you can't ask them because they likely don't work here anymore.

Being a programmer is more like being a detective than anything else unless you work for a small company.

I am saddened to see that this thread had no mention of how many horses it takes to run a router. What do y'all think? Would one be enough? It would need to work in shifts to keep up time at 100%. Maybe 3 to be safe?

Mirror + bandaid + paperclip + packing tape = boom? It's like a bad 80s tv show.

I kind of like to think that anyone inside thought that they drove off the crew attacking their position. Like "Ha, they are leaving, we did it. Great job everyone.
... Wait what's that beeping sound? Do you guys here ticking?"

I am pretty sure those wires on the fpv drone was a contact sensor. That is brilliant. Simple loops that when you hit something they get pushed together.

I feel like the other side of that central plate has your answer. Pop the central screw and see what is on the other side of that discoloration.

I finally made the switch recently. Windows kept getting worse, and worse, and worse. Every day I felt like I had to fight it more to just do anything. I've been mainly a Windows user my entire life and I just couldn't stand to use it any more.

I couldn't be happier. Every game I play on steam just works. I'm installing mods and updating config files deep in the magical proton depths and it just works. A clean install of the operating system is actually a clean place to start. I'm telling everyone I know.

Not going to lie, even after you pointed it out, it took me a minute to find it lol. Hell yeah, that'll keep her secure.

But is it locked? Better slap a padlock on it somewhere, then give it two slaps and say "no one's getting in there".

I got kicked one time completely at random. I was confused more than anything. Like, what? I thought about it and decided I had a simple solution. I just host every game I play. I know I love Democracy. If it's my finger on the button I know we are in good hands.

It's the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it's pure chaos.

I honestly am not sure. She was talking so much from such a young age. It was all nonsense, complete babble, but sometimes she would say something and I had to stop and think about it. Did she say a word? Is this just a coincidence? Does she understand it? The words just faded in as the nonsense faded out. It seemed like a progression, not an event.
