Just a mild techno-vent...one of the things that really irks me about #Java (especially the more enterprise-y bits) is that when anything goes wrong, you have to dig through a stack trace the length of a Bible to figure out what the hell went wrong. Give me #Python any day.
Tom Has Lived in the UK For Quite a Long Time, volume 57: *checks out part of Austin, Texas on Google Street View* "Huh. Why does that off ramp look so weird with the lights facing the wrong--oh. That's an on ramp, idiot. Traffic's on the right side, remember?"
The Netherlands? THE NETHERLANDS? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ #Eurovision2019

Belarus is one of those acts that if you held a gun to my head two minutes after it's done, I couldn't hum a single part of the song. #Eurovision2019
Poor, poor Estonia, having to follow Iceland. #Eurovision2019
I might have to vote for Iceland just on the basis of not being like everything else in the competition. #Eurovision2019
Okay, not a huge fan of Iceland's vocals...but SWEET JESUS MORE BUZZING SYNTHS ALL UP IN MY FACE PLEASE. #Eurovision2019
