and I offer to make him a sandwhich, warm up some pasta with butter and salt...something. He says do we have leftover pizza, I say no, unfortunately, we don't.
He then says, well, can I have some Canada Mints then? 
I said no, and that mom will deal with his hunger pains when she gets home.
Our rule is that the majority of crap in your belly needs to be healthy(ish) and a little shelf in the belly can be reserved for your bloody canada mints, after you had something non-sugar based.

So, you are ordering more pizza?

Might as well give him the mints, all the carbs in bread or pasta or pizza is just converted to sugar anyways.

Yes, but the glycemic index (the rate at which sugar is transferred to the blood) varies between carbohydrate sources. Foods with high glycemic indices satisfy your hunger more quickly, but as soon as the "sugar rush" is over - you feel hungry again.
Consult a dietician for more information.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Exactly, and when the sugar rush is over, especially in children, their mood goes south for the winter. Not good for parents.

Not to be pedantic and anal, but to be pedantic and anal... It's hunger pangs[^].

I stand corrected. However, I am sure my son would still call them pains - more dramatic that way.

CTRL+C, CTRL+V[^]
Dunno why, but that is both "little smile" funny and slightly disturbing... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You can also get T shirts for dad and kid using CTRL + X and CTRL + V[^], in case of T shirt, CTRL + Z won't work!

Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V would be a bit more disturbing.

I'm running a process that I wrote years ago, and evidently when I hit a point where data corruption occurred I felt the need to rub my future self's nose in it rather than fix the issue.
This message just popped up at the end of the failed run:
Quote: IDs have changed. If you rely on IDs, you're screwed
Thanks past me.

I rub my future self's nose in it every chance I get, because he is smug and arrogant, which really irritates me.
Besides, there's no chance he can retaliate, so I figure "Why Not?"

Now, what would have been cool, is if your past me recommended a solution, using today's technology and best practices.

If it changes it's not an ID.

Yes. You'd think so, right?
You tell that to the data providers we use. After you get them to keep IDs consistent you can work on getting them to normalise their data or even better: be consistent with quotes around integers in CSV files (hint: you don't put quotes around integers in CSV files. You most especially don't put quotes around the values on random rows)

There are no emoticons that sufficiently describes what I feel about that.
This is one of the reasons I don't trust NoSQL.
A former co-worker of mine is now working for a major car manufacturer (no, not the local one), the database he's working against isn't normalized.
"It's not necessary, It's handled in code". Well, apparently it wasn't.
