    So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

    I don’t mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.

    Apollo 1:

    Fire, I smell fire. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Outlook malfunctioning is extremely tame compared to the issues the early space program ran in to. Somehow this meme really rubs me the wrong way.








  • It does depend a bit. The tax brackets are nonsense of course, but there are countries with allowance systems that don’t fully decrease to zero as your income rises and at some point end in a hard cap. In those cases a raise might end up costing you due to losing the last part of an allowance.

    But that never withheld me from accepting a raise, you’re going to have to push pass that threshold at some point anyway.
