I was a Calvin prototype, because I kept making dinosaurs (sometimes T-Rexes) during art in grade 2. The teacher must have found it incredibly tedious.
Those are chicken nuggets? I don't know if they existed when I was 5. I never had 'em, but gingerbread are a big Scandi thing. The image isn't just zen, but a good Rorschach test.

Considering what they put in chicken nuggets they are probably illegal in europe

Like Greg, I've never seen them in "real life" - ads on TV don't count.
When I was a kid chicken came in a chicken-shaped lump, often with giblets in, sometimes with feathers on.

When I lived in Turkey they came with heads on as well. If you were very squeamish the butcher would wrap the head in a paper bag.

My mother used to make Brawn[^] from time to time, so you'd open the fridge to get milk for coffee, and there'd be a pigs head staring at you ...

Fridge? Ha! If we wanted something kept cool, it was put on the kitchen outside windowsill. (During the summer, we didn't buy stuff that needed to be kept cool; milk was delivered in the morning and was warm by lunchtime.) We did have a fridge, but it didn't work so we just used it as a cupboard. So: "a fridge? You were lucky; there were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road."

The old ones are the best. But I think it should be re-titled "the four binary persons without va***as who live in the county of England best known for plain speech".

(Well actually he never did come home; that was the cause of the lack of working fridge, and many other "hardships" that never seemed to cause any lasting harm.)

The first image reminds me of the interesting and useless piece of information that less time separates us from Tyrannosaurus Rex than separated Tyrannosaurus Rex from Stegosaurus.

It seems so useful, i just can't stand the syntax. I couldn't even tell you why except I can't get my head around it. Just give me C# or something with a Shell object.

I have the same problem. I don’t know if it’s the pipeline, the “you can do it like this or that”, or the feeling like stuff is barely bolted together. It just feels off.
Making things worse, a significant part of my current job depends on it.

same here, I keep trying to learn it but it just doesn't seem to sink in properly. I did manage to create a small script recently when moving from VS2017 to VS2019, which upgraded all my C++ projects, and tidied up the rest. If only I could expand on what I learned.

Powershell is very useful. It is a major tool in our shop. Mostly used for pipeline processes and deployments, etc.
I think the general consensus for most people is that you get better at PS, but you don't ever "like" it.

Reminds me of modems, time-sharing, teletype terminals and thermal printers.

I dare to claim, it's a simple matter of getting used to.
You can use .NET objects from PS though. I did this a while ago until MS coughed up Extract-Archive to unzip stuff via System.IO.Compression in a PS script. Not exactly C#, but you still have to learn less new stuff.
