is that mean to be
- as in Engineer the Community (mass murderers, poison gass)
- or Engineer for the Community (umm, can fix my toilet?) ??
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Or it's something like the strange choice management made when they renamed the support desk here. It is now called 'client engineering', which raises a very interesting question. What sort of clients are we building and can we tweak the formula a little to make them a bit smarter?

BTW, can you still walk with all these CP reward medals ? It must be getting heavy ?

The actual medals I keep in a BitLocker and only get out on special occasions. Most of the time I just wear the ribbons on my formal jim-jams.

There has not been a memo, and there probably will not be one in the future. But maybe @Chris-Maunder may wish to add a few words.

I'll save him the trouble.
Artichoke
iconoclast

Let me know if you need more words than just those few.

I love artichokes, but never tasted an iconoclast.

Not what you'd expect to hear from a vegetarian, but the mandatory reply was, well, mandatory:
Iconoclast - tastes like chicken.

I accessed a website where this person in automated chat asked "what brings you to our website today?". I responded, "String of bad decisions" and closed the web page.

So "of bad decisions" brought you there?

What did the bot say??
You've also been mean to us by not telling the bot's response
|
|
|
|

It said you will be responded over email in about 20 minutes. I did not gave my real email so we will never know.

It said: "Resistance is futile, your ass will be laminated."

I had to come back because after reading your post, I went back to work.
Onto a website, up pops a "message" …Quote: Hi :wave: Welcome to [redacted].
What brought you in today? So I've left that tab open. The message keeps popping up but I keep ignoring it. Couldn't bring myself to be mean - bots don't need that twice in one day

"Accidental mis-click" would also be an acceptable answer.

(setting the wider scene): Woohoo!! no kids at home.
came home from a hard ride, figured may as well start the washing.
load up the machine with all the clothes, start it, wander off to the bathroom for a shower ...stopping on the way to grab a handful of peanuts to munch.
Wife asks, "why are you walking around naked?"
Well duh! ... (of course can't say that to the wife)
...so my actual answer, "because there's not enough space to ride my bike inside."
Sigh.

I guess "because the kids aren't home" might have been taken the wrong way?

Kids being at home or not: Why should you have to hide your body at home?
I think there is ample proof from other (although mostly non-Western, at least the last 30-40 years) cultures that kids do have the mental strength to see the bodies of their parents without experiencing a mental breakdown. In my childhood, we always wore clothes when in public, but at home, we accepted each other's bodies.
When I became a daddy myself, I followed suit. We never tried to hide for each other. E.g. at home we all slept in the nude.
So my wife would never have asked the question. If she did, she would have been asking again and again and ...
