I lived in southern California for 22 years. Enough said. I am not surprised at all that you did not enjoy your stay. I could say more, but the sensitive and PC ones here at the site would be offended.

You missed out on a great opportunity. What a shame. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's a silly answer
And anyway who said I wasn't going back again.
I've always thought they gave you a hard time in soapbox1, please don't prove them right just answer the question.

Mexico is a great place but you had a terrible attitude. You missed out.

Mexico maybe, Guadalajara not so much. Plus I wasn't there for a Holiday, I was there for work. I arrived late on the Sunday night and flew back early on the Saturday Morning - there was no time to see or do anything else.

I was discussing performance with a member of the team Who Will Remain Unnamed. We were going over the various parts of a page load that are slowing things down and we were focussing on Redis calls. We log perf only to the millisecond, so anything under half a millisecond will be reported as 0 seconds
Me: There's a lot of cache calls, but they're all completed in 0ms
Him: Yeah, but all those zeros add up

Reminds me of the time one of my friends at Purdue wrote a complicated equation on a board (5.5' high and 45' long, the equation filled the whole thing) and challenged people to solve it.
The answer to it? Zero. I was the only person that solved it. Even the maths professors there couldn't get it!
I was kind of a celebrity for a few days afterwards, and the professors were rather embarrassed.
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???

Hilarious. Can't vote though. I'm in Sumsung S6.

I solved it so quickly as I noticed that the second half was the negative of the first half, simply allowing me to cancel it all out and get zero. When I explained that, one professor turned bright red with embarrassment, as he had worked on it for three hours before giving up. It took me less than a minute to see how to solve it.

Sounds like something Kent might say 
Last week I had an issue in a bit of code that checked if the URL was equal to "http://something.etc.com/controller".
Unfortunately it wasn't as the URL was "suddenly" https...
So I changed the code to check if the URL ends with "://something.etc.com/controller" and the issue was fixed.
A coworker looks up to me and in all seriousness tells me "this won't work if we are going protocol-less"
The sad part about it is that he was really serious and really doesn't have a clue about how protocols or the internet works

I often go protocol-less. It causes no end of trouble...

You're both right. Hence the expression "a big, fat zero".

The I wasn't expecting to like it but might have to change my mind new album of the week is Synthia by the Jezabels. Hints of Kate Bush, Shakespear's Sister and a slightly less gloomy than usual Lana Del Rey?

With the sound (noise) turned completely off, one can enjoy the very well done (hand drawn ?) video animation. The voice seems to be half Gaga, half Lana del Rey.

That's funny. I was just picturing a horse falling through a scaffold and impaling itself on a large splinter of wood then bleeding to death on camera when I thought to go to the CP Lounge and check out the latest posts!
Thanks Bill! It must have been this thread!
