Me.
This morning I was sitting in the train, eating a croissant. Then an asteroid hit the other seat and I was was launched upwards. When I landed, I saw that we had not been hit by an asteroid. It was just a land whale that was getting compfortable and oozing over to my seat.
I had choked a little on the last bite of the croissant an coughed, which earned me a look from the land whale. And that gave me a very evil idea how to get rid of it. I suddently felt ill. Very ill. My performance must have been good. In less than 30 seconds the land whale felt the urgent need to get away from me. Surprising how fast such a ball of blubber can run.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Roll. Balls roll, they don't run.
Perhaps the train going downhill at the time?

I have often told family and friends that if they need more space on the subway, all they need to do is start drooling and foaming. Incoherent noises help, too.

So you're saying that all my efforts to stop drooling, foaming, and making incoherent noises are wasted effort?
Bollocks!

Long ago a folksinger (Joni Mitchell) sang a song "Yellow Taxi". It's most important words ever ring true:
"Don't it always seem to go - you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone"

Damn, I did not think of that. A recruiter called me yesterday about a 6 month contact to hire in a part of the country I will never move too (medical issue since age 20, and other reasons). I automatically turned them down.
I forgot how many jobs I have had that allowed me to work remotely - usually after a trail period.
I think I should call them back, because I am one of the few people that is actually qualified for the position.
In reality, most of the original members of CP qualify.

I wish I had his problems. Boo-hoo....
Buy a coffee machine, or at least a $1.59 drip funnel.....

Sooo... even if he learned how to squeeze the coffee beans, he still wouldn't know how to milk the almonds?

I'd be a bit hesitant there myself -- I mean, squeezing boobies is a lot of fun, to be sure, but I wouldn't want to get all turned around and start squeezing beans.
... Although I could name a few people whose beans I wouldn't mind crushing.

I smell a procrastinator.
I've been working from home for nearly 13 years now and wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm betting this guy's just hiding behind this excuse and in reality he's the type who stops by every cubicle and doesn't start his day until 10.
If you have no discipline whatsoever, then yeah, working from home might not be for you.

So your beans obviously need grinding.

Bang on.
It's not that hard to say "OK, now I have to put the nose to the grindstone", and then actually do it.

Good ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing grief. Buy a coffeemaker ($20 at WalMart), some coffee, and make your own you helpless twit.
The only time I bought regularly at a Starbucks was on a business trip when the hotel didn't have a continental breakfast and the restaurants weren't convenient to the job site.

Maybe, but don't forget that 20% of members were created as sock puppets, for the soapbox.

Interesting! Without doing that math, that would mean that ~0.0001 percent might actually know what they are doing. Who wants to do a statistical analysis of CP to determine the percentage of people who know what they are doing and those that are just here to pick their brains.
I want to say 10/90, but it is probably closer to 1/99.

If I'm to believe these guys, there should be (or should have been) around 26.4M developers worldwide in 2019.
So nearly 2/3 have an account here?
Yeah, I think there might be a few redundant ones.
I know: Let's see who's actually active. Everyone who reads this message, upvote it. I'll post the total in a few days...

That is referring to your total Reputation Points, of course.
How do they even count programmers? Schooling? What about self-taught (a lot). Employment? What about those who do it for pleasure alone?
I feel so used - exploiting my post to bugger the lounge for a surreptitious reputation boosts.*
* wish I had thought of it.

Don't worry, I'll diligently subtract whatever miserly few points I already had when starting this.
