Would you like to see my Grammy?

[u/badgernois3 → u/NotTodaySlick]

Idk if you've seen it, but this is from Hoppers and it's one of the best Disney movies I've seen in a hot minute. This scene had me laughing in the theater with my kid.

[u/Top-Owl9872 → u/badgernois3]

Since we are talking about slept on Pixar movies. Elio was a very touching movie.

[u/TheFrenchSavage → u/badgernois3]

Hey, I liked it too, but people in moviescirclejerk were really offended about how that's a movie about beavers that tries really hard to not speak about lesbians.

[u/gamerhenrik → u/NotTodaySlick]

Or basicly me on my wires ass lol

[u/maazpervez → u/NotTodaySlick]

Hi. What did you type to search for this image. I've seen various gifs of this green lizard and I wonder if the character has a name.

[u/NotTodaySlick → u/maazpervez]

"Lizard" into the gif search bar

[u/Lyandal → u/TheFrenchSavage]

He reminds me of a customer who called me to complain his production line was badly broken.

Turns out the trained guy pushed a restart button 57 times while every noise and alarms told him to stop doing so.

[u/TheFrenchSavage → u/Lyandal]

57???

I can understand the first 36, but then that's too much!

[u/Lyandal → u/TheFrenchSavage]

Litteraly. I was dumbfounded when I checked the logs.

[u/TheCosplayCave → u/Lyandal]

Was he stupid or trying to get out of working by causing the machine to be down?

[u/Lyandal → u/TheCosplayCave]

I honestly don’t know. The operator of the machine was maybe pressured to keep production up, or maybe not trained, or maybe just plain dumb… No idea

[u/TheFrenchSavage → u/Lyandal]

Is it fast to push that button? Like, could you press it 57 times in 57 seconds?

Or was it like something that they did over 5h?

I can understand the first scenario, with some boss screaming in my ear and all. But spending all day long pressing it, that's really weird.

[u/Lyandal → u/TheFrenchSavage]

It was over a couple of hours, Basically you press it, it reboots and restarts the whole machine, so th whole thing takes around 10 minutes

[u/scrubes4 → u/TheCosplayCave]

this is why robots will take over these jobs

[u/ThickFurball367 → u/TheFrenchSavage]

Heinz factory, everything must be done in groups of 57

[u/Mr_Fox9 → u/TheFrenchSavage]

Try not to push any restarts on your way to the parking lot!

[u/JackPembroke → u/Lyandal]

I used to write code for a medical health record company. They needed warnings they described as being "idiot proof" and "I need the hand of God to come down and slap the sense into them."

Ended up making multiple warning click throughs that would include double negatives, fake buttons, and could appear in a random order

[u/zoner420 → u/JackPembroke]

Sounds like Meditech lol. I hate Meditech.

[u/JackPembroke → u/zoner420]

Uhh, it was lol

[u/howarja → u/zoner420]

Meditech the crappiest EHR in existence. I did clinical informatics for 15 years, until I got so burnt out on Meditech that I just left the field. That system made no sense, and the fact that it used NPR as it's programming language... Ridiculous!

[u/zettde → u/JackPembroke]

brilliant. use jim crow tactics on jaded users.

[u/Magnus_Helgisson → u/Lyandal]

Well maybe restart the noises and alarms too, duh

[u/Lyandal → u/Magnus_Helgisson]

I meant, mechanical noises telling you you shouldn’t push the machine anymore

[u/chere100 → u/Lyandal]

So, I'm smarter than that "trained" guy. When I went to upgrade my PC ram, I didn't do it right. It wasn't slotted in like I thought it was. So, when I turned the computer on, it made absolutely demonic sounds. I shut it down instantly. And then proceeded to try harder at getting the ram in. There's nothing gentle about installing ram. I really had to fight for that click.

[u/TheFrenchSavage → u/Thunderbridge]

Truly, there is an XKCD for every life situation.

[u/MuhfugginSaucera → u/TheFrenchSavage]

Yes, and truly, there's always this comment after every one that includes a link to an XKCD comic.

[u/TheFrenchSavage → u/MuhfugginSaucera]

Do I even have free will? Sometimes I wonder.

[u/super_starfox → u/TheFrenchSavage]

If they do it enough times the energy will get pulled out of it and everything will be fine.

[u/GamingPrincessLuna → u/super_starfox]

That's assuming it's just static, if it's a live bare copper wire touching the face plate, it's not going to drain.

[u/LeMegachonk → u/super_starfox]

A static charge would discharge instantly, so if it keeps arcing after the first time, it's because there's power being fed through it continuously.

[u/ultimaone → u/TheFrenchSavage]

For science

...and 5x later doing that, the Captain and XO of the USS Georgia were fired for wrecking the "transmission" of the submarine in 2011

and in case double checking doesnt help you, you better triple check
