I just applied some good ol' percussion maintenance to my laptop's power brick, and it started working! For a while anyways. Open another application and it gives out again, but another whack and it starts right back up.
This will do until I get the new power brick I ordered from Asus (order should be processed Monday, and will likely arrive mid to late next week).

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I'm all for anthropomorphising my computers, I would tape an image of a nail to the area of the laptop where you whack it and put a hammer beside the keyboard.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

In US, bars (i.e., pubs) usually are associated with potato chips.
Leave it the inventive EU mind to come up with a way to do it differently than we do!

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.

I can believe that, because no-one in their right mind would associate them with beer.

Yup. I heard you can get good beer in the Netherlands . . . Sam Adams, Saranac, and Dog Fish Head[^], for example.
Oh - wait - you're lucky to be able to import these from the US!

You heard wrong.
"Gnat's pee" would be a better description than "good".

You get an up-vote for giving me a new expression when I share my comments at the dinner table.
Do you have another level down for stuff like Coors, 'Bud', &etc. ?

You should ask Australian members for "opinion-based" names for foreign beers -- just ignore everything they say about English beer.

You've probably seen this style if you're done anything with C# after 2007 or so.
someStuff.Where(c => c != What).Select(d => d + The).Foreach(e => Hell(e));
Instead of, you know, a plain old for loop with an if in it and so on. Or maybe foreach if you want to be fancy.
So, now we have nearly a decade of experience with this, can we finally settle this question:
Is this style cancer?
I still think it is, and the retort "you just have to get used to it" isn't going to work any more. I file this firmly under "stupid one-liner 'clever' code with no benefits to compensate". Yes, I've argued in the past that "clever code" isn't necessarily bad, and I'll keep saying that - there's a time and a place for it. But not if you're just trying to be cute. "Oh look at me, I put everything on one line, +1 nerd points for me"
And this is even worse. It's not just cute with no benefits to compensate, it's cute and harder to read.
Side question, why is this style popular?
