Same in Samusir (Toba Lake, Sumatra, Indoesia). We visited a town of the Batak tribe[^] they had a common house with a generator to give power to a huge TV (it might have been a projector, not 100% sure anymore) and a Satellite receiver with an antenna of 4 or 5 meters diameter.
Was a bit   moment to see the contrast.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

But, thanks to you, now I know!

Bollocking - a stern telling off.
Stark bollocks - I am not wearing any clothes.
Bollocks to it - I shall ignore this.

Is it also true that a person who's constipated really couldn't give a sh*t?

Background:
I have a colleague who has been the Lone Ranger in a project for a couple of years now but recently that project's problems has become a much higher priority (it's a system for the gov't and we've landed a significant new contract to expand this service to a larger number of gov't agencies, ergo the higher visibility).
A small group of us have been moved onto the project to help get everything up to snuff. He has long complained that he doesn't have the ability to test code before pushing it to develop, which is partially true.
However, there is some basic testing he COULD do but apparently doesn't since I can't get my code tested for finding bugs in stuff he's pushed to develop. Things like testing the SQL to make sure it doesn't throw syntax errors or "Inconsistent types" (comparing a boolean to a string)
Since he's been the Lone Ranger in this code for so long, he's a little prickly about us coming into his domain.
How tactful should I be and how long should I remain tactful?

a) Extremely.
b) About 30 seconds should suffice.

Just found out he fixed the error 8 days ago but, should I have to keep rebasing my branch over and over just to get a clean run?
|
|
|
|

Presumably you took the branch from the main sequence, not a copy of his "private working code"?
Someone needs to give him a lesson on only committing working code ... preferably with a cluebat.
