If you were to tell an average English speaker that you were going to dig an indentation, chances are high that they would misinterpret your meaning.
On the other hand, if you told them that you were going to dig a “blind hole,” I imagine they would have a much better understanding of your meaning and you would still be technically correct.
I absolutely agree! But as I said in my initial response, I personally would think of that as more of a flattering compliment than anything else. I don’t understand why the dad found the similarities so overwhelmingly funny that he was on the floor laughing, struggling to breathe, with tears in his eyes.
Apparently OP understood the context as a “sick burn,” and I’m assuming the dad was laughing for some sort of similar mean spirited reason. I just feel like I’m out of the loop and I’m not understanding why the comparison is funny or any kind of burn.
I appreciate you trying to help me understand, but I’m sorry to say that I still don’t get it. Are large eyeglasses inherently funny for some reason?
Full disclosure I’m on the autistic spectrum, so I’m sure there is something obvious that I’m missing. In my mind large eyeglasses make a lot of sense because they cover a fuller degree of the field of view for the wearer.
I think that’s awesome! Mirabel is an amazing protagonist and Encanto is a wonderful movie, in my opinion. I would probably be more confused by dad’s reaction than anything else.
And what a delicious, satisfying, and filling soup at that!
Bahaha great minds I suppose. I tried searching for a similar post before making mine and didn’t find anything, but clearly I didn’t search for long enough.
While wearing jeans!
I just installed and chsh’d into ksh, does that count?
VB.NET app that was installed on every employees computer to capture time sheets. Required VPN access so it could talk to the accounting DB using raw queries, zero input validation, and it used a pirated library for the time input grid control.
The IT staff who would install the program on all new machines (it didn’t work with their imaging system) had a script to suppress the message requesting a paid license. There was nothing special about this control, it was basically a rip off of built in winforms controls.
Source code was long lost, but reverse engineering and decompiling CIL/MSIL code is thankfully relatively straightforward.

Haha fair enough
