At least in that situation, you get to use the "I'll use a coin token" joke!

Edge case: You had $3P on T4, than reshuffled and draw $2P on T5.

Bump. A year later, it's still relevant. Literally no one can play games on Goko right now.

But a year is so little time...

And it's not like people have paid for this or anything, right?

Man, that sucks.  But hey, give them that year:

It was maybe a year between when I first said "can you get rid of the 3-province starting advantages, this sucks so hard" and when they actually fixed it.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

This is funny because 'e is pointing out that 11 months is strictly not equal to 12 months. 


Unrelated note: I wish there was a key for "not equal to".  The combination of /= is strangely unsatisfying.

Actually, he is pointing out that 11 months is strictly smaller than 12 months.

But SwitchedFromStarcraft's reply was especially humorous because of how he referred to me as 'e.  Which can be read as "he" or as my username "e".  Very clever.

I mean I'm not a computer guy or an IT guy or anything, but it seems like this is the kind of thing you want to know about at a basic level.

It is extraordinary how much different stuff can go wrong, and how difficult it is to monitor for all of it. You set up checks for what you can think of / have seen in the past, and when something different happens, all you really know is that it's not any of the things you've set up checks for.

If I learned one thing in a computer science education, it's to never assume any job or system anywhere ever is as simple as it seems on the surface.

Yes well I understand that, and I'm sure if I was going to set up all this stuff there would be a large learning process and a lot of mistakes made.. on the other hand, I'm not a professional.  This just seems like something an experienced IT person would do.
I'm an experienced IT person and one of the first things we do on new production servers, is set up basic monitoring for stuff like disk space and CPU usage.

Why is that not just the normal keyboard?  That would be useful.

I'm just sad that I'm too used to regular QWERTY that it's basically too late to learn anything else.

The usual shift-numerics are printed under the numeric row, so I'm assuming there is another shift-like way to access those.

Also, exclamation points are hardly necessary!
