APOD: 2016 August 2 - A Rocket Booster Falls Back to Earth[^]
Seems like the beginning of one of those alien invasion flicks.

I have a kind of OCD with updating all my software.
Yesterday night (8 hours ago, since now it is still the night played Overwatch late!  ) there wasn't much to updates....
But now (at 4AM)
Overwatch, Visual Studio (2 updates), ESO, and Steam all want to have big updates!!!
What is going on?! 
|
|
|
|
|
Other updates won't get past the Windows 10 Anniversary Update that's going on, on this machine right now.

I am pretty sure BattleNet and Elder Scroll Online will still update! 
(they have little to do with Microsoft)
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, now I get it!
one more (long awaited) update!

Worsted and worsted! 
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.

Groan.
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???

HTML and CSS/LESS 
Oh, and IE8

Welcome to the WEB world!
And ohh, you forgot the JavaScript thing 
|
|
|
|
|
JavaScript is a very nice and clean language full of features that are widely supported... Compared to HTML and CSS
Ok, it's all bad, but my current pain is with HTML and CSS

Yes. In Mordor.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I'm pretty sure those orcs were styled using HTML and CSS

The orcs were just Sauron's first victims

Agreed and that's what make us different. Every web developer will surely experience that, and I feel your pain.

And PHP

Sander, quit whining and learn web development.

Learn HTML: it's like XML, but with some pre-defined elements such as p, ul, ol, li, input, etc.
Learn CSS: # for id's, . for classes, all the other selectors you look up if you ever need them.
Congrats, you now know the basics.
The next step will be to actually use it and find out that everything does not work as you'd expect
horizontal/vertical-alignment? Never works.
width? Only works when the moon and stars are aligned every 1000 years.
line-height? Only on uhhh... That one element... You know?
margin? Works when the width of the height is the size of the alignment of the parents child's parent width height size.
float? For when you really want to mess up everything.
I could go on, but there's only one conclusion I can make.
HTML/CSS is the worst piece of crap 'technology' that's currently known to men (followed closely by Crystal Reports).
It's not about learning it, because the idea is simple. It's about using it a lot, finding out all the quirks and inconsistencies, remembering them, and then knowing how to solve something the next time (but you probably forgot already and need to try out different combinations again). That's the true nature of HTML/CSS

I can't see your problem - it is like you were saying you can't paint the wall with a hammer 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
