I was actually thinking about you last week. Had not heard from you in a while. I am glad you are on the mend. Stomach wounds are the worst in my honest opinion, but since I never hurt a rib, I can't make an honest comparison - I will take your word on that. 
Take care.

Just having you back is good! Go and finish your work and it'll be gooder!

Glad to hear you're on the way to recovery.
Keep challenging yourself and you're gonna make it!

Does Not Commute[^]
It's a simple little driving game, where all you have to do is get the short distance from A to B without hitting too many things. When you get there, you get another car, and another A to B run. Easy peasy. Except...why is that guy driving like an idiot? And WTElephant is that school bus doing?
When you realize that you are driving all the cars and each time you have to avoid your previous journeys...all against a cumulative time out...it's quite a clever idea, and it's pretty addictive. And annoying. And the idiot that hit you was you, so you only have yourself to blame. 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I refuse to answer that on the grounds that she will hit me.

1) Learn to read. It clearly says at the top of this page that programming questions are unwelcome
2) DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalization if you want to be taken seriously.
3) You have this posted in QA, and that's not your first question, so you have shown you know what to do and where to post.
So basically, you have just decided that the rules don't apply to you and that you can be rude. Not a good idea when you want help from people...

you who have so helped our eyes to see
the glyphs in which our words are born,
now, one more broken puppet cast aside
for fickle fashion's changed: the tide
of pastels bleaches web-sites visually;
meaning's whole languishes, still-born
do six zeroes conjure-up a toxic spell
that's broken, now, by the Wired heads
who, over wine, at some bespoke soiree
decree the latest meme for readability?
and we with eyes no longer see so well
relegated to black-on-white's hard bed?
oh, blinding day, when words don't say
what they said to us clearly yesterday

Magenta isn't red,
And cyan isn't blue,
Yellow is never dark enough,
so add black to the brew.

On the other hand, the black on black look of XAML and XAML-products and the general trend to move everything to a monotonic monochromatic miasma is very much in opposition to my tastes.

I don't like the black-on-black user interfaces, either.

It's not big, but it involves lots of db reads/writes. Nowhere is the opportunity to roll back anything.
Original developer took their final check and buggered off to the opposite side of the country to become a truck driver. (I wish I was kidding)
Source code had almost zero comments and major variables like "ip" - that particular one was central to accumulating orders onto a pallet of goods. Super helpful.
So there's who knows how many people depending on this crud to hold it all together, there's a deadline of course, and my boss, bless him, pays me what he can but it's nowhere enough. I'm personally looking at living out of my van, Boss makes shitloads, and the Customer makes enough to pay 500+ people each month.
Why am I in my van eating noodles?
