Another legend passes

In some parts of the world the borders were drawn with a pencil by faraway diplomats without regard for the inhabitants. Such as the Sykes-Picot agreement and many colonial borders.

Apparently some of the jogs in the US/Canada border were related to the amount of alcohol available to the survey party at the time ...

LOL - the language all programmers know best is CURSING .

Yeah, that's not just programmers. It applies to us 'hard heads' too. I was a hardware tech my whole career. Started getting into programming, but life got in the way and had to stop. After, my programming consisted of routines that aided my troubleshooting. We all knew CURSING best![:D] Especially at each other... "Its a hardware problem..." "Nope, software..." And so on....[8|]

My favorite line to 'soft heads' was, "It work yesterday, you guys changed the code".[:'(]

One does not need to change the code. I frequently test my program without incident for WEEKS, and then all hell breaks loose with CTD, freeze, ships and planes going berserk and executing mad things.
Then I commonly spend the rest of the day tracking why it is no longer working under a certain, minor change in the environmental conditions. If it is reproducable at all.
I swear: The best way to go berserk and boost your cursing skill is to do lots of programming.

Yup, we even built a fort on the wrong side of the border as a result of a faulty survey. The Canadians being who they are graciously allowed us to keep the 'conquest'.[:D]

Shh, don't tell Donald.

But does it raise your overall Experience or Defensive Skill as well?

No, but the 'venting' does bring down my blood pressure.[:'(]
