And you were doing so well until you went back onto the mushrooms...

I prefer him when he is like this (it was ~4.45 a.m. his time when he posted this, so your assumptions about Mushrooms are not far off the mark, my guess is speed though)

If you hold up a paper with a black dot on it, Others will see the dot only when asked what they saw. The black mark on the sun was from the planet Mercury standing between us and the sun for half of a day, the same amount of time the Shepherd (Jesus Christ) spent on the cross to stand between his sheep (mankind) and the burning rage of God.
Venus represents a fall, as a fall from heaven and become visible in the morning, but to rise again to be the evening star (as above/so below). The image of the black spot on the sun due to the shadow of Mercury references our sin, which appeared at Eden, then was brushed aside by the work of Christ.

If you're really serious about losing weight, you can get rid of five kilos really quick by having your head chopped off.
I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't make much difference to your postings here.

Would I have to go to Syria to find some people willing to do it? Or are there some in the Netherlands now?

I can think of 1 willing to do it for you.

Do you frequently forget which person you are, in a large crowd of people?
Do you frequently reply to one person and think they are someone else?

Were you born an irrational idiot, or was there a special school you had to attend?

I started a topic about how people became involved with computer programming. The responses were breathtaking. The implications of the responses told me that these people had been programming longer than my whole life on Earth. Some of them said they hooked up with programming since young children or adolescents. The people also used weird things, like punch cards and slide rule. Weird, because I went to middle school with a scientific calculator and a graphing calculator, which also functioned like a little computer. I was never taught how to use slide rule in school, and the high school programming class was all about Java on a computer. No punch cards at all.
I wonder if college Computer Science courses would have students punch cards to get a sense of what older programmers had to go through.
Is this site mostly populated with older individuals? I sense that many people were born before the 1990s. They began programming in the '80s or even earlier, so they probably lived some years before then, if they started as kids.

Wrong forum: this one is for reports of problems with this site.
A discussion like that is probably better off in The Lounge: The Lounge - CodeProject[^]

That's profound.

What do you mean older? I started 32 years ago, but I'm only 44 - a youngster...
(By the way - the larger part of the population of the world is over 26...)

How did you get involved in programming?
Surely, you must have heard about a computer before somewhere in your lifetime, and then for some reason, you decided to go into programming, either for fun or for profit or both.
Also, how did you become aware of the existence of the computer? Did your family have a personal computer when you were little? Were you a mathematician?

A friend of the family who was a borough civil engineer realised that computers were going a thing in his workspace so bought two - the idea being ion the 10 year old can teach himself then he can subsequently teach the adult. This worked for us both and it is also why I am now peppering my young nephews and nieces with IoT type kits.

At the time I was going to college I was learning to use a slide rule and the college just started a computer program and I figured it would be easier to learn to program a computer then a slide rule.
I was wrong!

You inspired me to dig out one of my old slide rules.
... And I can't remember how to use the damned thing!

I kept my first slide rule for many years but never did learn how to use it.

I know that if I start googling, I'll lose the whole day to it, so it's going back in the box.
