My reply was not an attack, it was my view. A question was asked, a question was answered.
Not being from Europe, I don't understand the cultural references, such as the letter of origin for a car. Being a computer science person, I would not have got rune... pointless should remove both N and E.
I have understood some answers in the past; I still struggle to understand this one.
Again, my view.

I did not percieve your answer as an attack. I answered you after 5 hours as I was completely off line for that duration. Nor did I have any intention of being some smartass - I missed the fact that your question had been answered by others. But at least I posted a nice photo 
Life is too shor

Fair enough....
I read the response from my phone and don't follow links, so I didn't see the pictures.
As an example of 'cultural reference', consider the following cultural crossword clues.
1. On your head or under your toe,
Culture affects where it will go.
Either way, used in snow. (8 letters)
2. Shorten also and line; stay warm (5 letters)
They are both related.

"When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep and you're never really awake."
-- Fight Club
Did I just fix two production issues on mental autopilot, or did I just dream about doing that? I can't really tell anymore... I'm operating on about two hours of sleep, maybe less... Either that, or I'm still asleep and only think I'm awake and at work...
Man, I think I need another three-day weekend... That day off yesterday apparently wasn't enough.
This rant was brought to you by the letter Zzzzzzzzzzz......

Well, the caffeine isn't working, so I might get some sleep soon whether I want to or not.
Either that, or I'm actually asleep right now, and these posts are just figments of my imagination... If that's the case, this dream obviously didn't make it through QA.

It may have been reported as "not a question" by he who shall remain nameless.
That or it didn't have enough Zs as in "More Codez plzzz"

I suffer from moderate insomnia. The worst is brought on by bad stress. So if a project is not going smoothly, or I ran out of post-it notes, then you can bet I am not sleeping.
I usually sleep 3-4 hours a night, however, after all these years of living like this, I am quite high-functioning at work. Weird.
In regards to fight club, I thought the rule was that you don't talk about fight club. Therefore, you are not allowed to talk about your sleepless nights.

I can usually manage 4 hours if I actually set aside eight... Some nights are better than others. I'm the same way at work, unless I get bored for whatever reason... Then I start to drift.

Eh, work doesn't bug me... Work is work, and will always be there tomorrow. It's my personal life that keeps me up. Any time I make a significant decision or change my mind on something non-trivial, my brain apparently has to process that new chain of events to try to recalculate all of the possible outcomes and generate contingency plans...
At least that's what kept me up last night, while I'm laying there trying to get it to shut up. Stupid brain...

I blame the insomnia.

I get that occasionally when I'm trying to get to sleep but my brain tries to calculate every possible outcome. Luckily it's pretty rare, and usually there's a much simpler (and obvious) solution the next morning.
I wonder how many other people get this?
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Oh, it's not just that there's a better solution... It's that in this case, it latched onto one event that probably has <5% chance of happening, and tried to calculate every branch of THAT.
It's like deciding I'm going to go out for dinner tomorrow, and trying to calculate a detailed contingency plan in case I get food poisoning... I mean that wasn't the situation, but you get the idea...
So pointless... I hate my brain.

Yep, sounds familiar.. I'd bet it's pretty common

I get that too, not that often any more. In high school it happened all the time, but I had stressful circumstances for a year and a half and afterwards I had to make myself not do this all the time - it became a habit.
It still happens sometimes, losing sleep and only sleeping for about three hours for a few nights.
Sometimes I remember something embarrassing that already happened and that keeps me up.
At those times my caffeine intake significantly increases.
