@Gulfie the team's logic was that getting a shovel would be easy, forgetting that they're working for a government department and hence can't get anything done quickly ever

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net innuendo studios' "i hate mondays" video is a really good discussion of this kind of thing

- task name: Need gravedigging
- user story: As a developer, I want to be able to dig my own grave and jump in it so I don't have to deal with scrum's aggressive boilerplate and weird ceremonies.

i will pay any amount of money to ensure nobody ever feels they have to take two hours to explain scrum to me ever again

@fillertrack clearly the girls are sad for other reasons so they go to the club for each other's comfort

@OchotonidKnight right, that makes sense. it came up because i was thinking, as i sometimes do, of ways that you would make a character like superman compelling

@pan tolkien invented a history out of whole cloth and there are people whose main hobby is analyzing it, if that's worthwhile then surely the arguably less complicated task of inventing a history where e.g. the ancient greeks developed steam power could be worthwhile to someone too

can superman canonically speak/understand any language other than english? relatedly, have there ever been any superman comics where he has to enlist help to understand someone speaking another language? it occurs to me that everyone thinks of him as such an uninteresting character because he can solve any problem, but that's not necessarily true if he can't be communicated to about the problem

@OchotonidKnight distracted, apparently. um. ive been ok i guess, just trying to take care of myself. work's been keeping me busy

@kelly "Fight for a world, where Bosses, Landlords and the concept of private property are only a distant memory. Fight for the People!" oh hell yes this gets my dollars

@kelly ooh gotcha! for some reason i thought gb rober was the name of the developer. i'll have to take a look!
