We (well I) have done it, it's not big or clever...

I've done it seriously hungover, and I suspect the drunk code was considerably better quality... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Nothing wrong with that. Even if you never hit it, the chase in itself can be quite enjoyable...

Yep that is amusing, right up until the next day when you inspect the crap you typed in last night!

So a coworker had this weird issue on a Windows Phone app.
Send a POST request to the server and get an (internal server) error 400 "GET is not supported."
Some debugging and logs checking later we found out that for some reason the body of the request was not logged.
Checked out the source code and it wasn't logged because it contained sensitive information.
Turned on the logging for this call only to find that there was no body at all...
Some Google-fu taught us that older versions of IE convert POSTs to GETs if the body is empty.
But why is there no body?
Now, some more debugging... Is the AJAX call okay? Are all values valid? Is something funny going on at the server application? Is the URL alright? Does it work on other environments?
Finally, two hours later, another coworker ask what URL we're posting to. http://something...
There's the problem, it's actually httpS or some internal network thingy does a redirect and empties the body converting it to a GET.
There goes four hours of productivity for a stupid redirect 
Just one of those days...

Perhaps you should have asked the duck[^]?

The only record layer I still own is an antique portable 78. Now go and look at the mouse over.

I have owned 78 RPM records (bought used at auction), played them a few times before selling at a yard sale.

I never knew that 78rpm records had been around for so long!

I must assume they meant the American Civil War which was a lot more recent. Remember, to the USians, only those things that happen in the US actually happened.

I dont know for the rest you but where I live has gone from summer straight into winter. Two weeks ago we were using the pool, and yesterday we had a frost. It seems like its turning cold, and quickly.
The el nino we have had for over a year has also ended and the index has gone negative into la nina teritory: Quicky October 2016 ENSO Update | Watts Up With That?[^] and it cold be a big one, so might be a cold one! )Good for skiing though!  )

Here too, this night 3mm of frost on the car and it caught us all on surprise, the trains were almost all 30 minutes late presumably due to frost forming on the brakes.
I hadn't even prepared my usual alcool spray to defrost the windescreen and I was almost late trying to scrap the tough-as-nails layer of ice. And I had to turn on the heat at home at full Winter regime.

Yes, at less than 130 km South East of nearest French border (Briançon or Modane, they are almost equidistant).

I am the other side, near Avignon, I guess its the same weather we are having.

I thought as much. I visited Avignon and Arles some 14 years ago, beautiful places (and expensive as Hell, especially for italian pockets).

Luxury! What we wouldn't give to have a train service that ran only 30 minutes late!
Southern Rail strike: Talks break down as strike continues - BBC News[^]
Even on the rare occasions when they're not on strike, the staff are pulling sickies as a form of unofficial strike action, so most of the trains are cancelled to avoid having to pay compensation for being too delayed.

Same thing here. Consider that we have to take trains for distance usually covered by the tube in the other countries so we have, in the lucky palces, 1 train per hour on certain time periods then nothing. And trains are often cancelled at the last minute due to every kind of problems... also 30 minutes late on a travel that should take 75 minutes is a freaking lot, but today at least there were reasosn.
There has been weeks in which I ould take the train 2 days out of 5 and usually getting home 1-2 hours late... it rubs after a while. Plus in Spring and Summer all the Fridays there is, totally casually, a strike.
