Hmm, it would still be good if I left out the sentence about checking the spelling of the name

I set it to that for now, if anyone has better ideas it can be changed :D

@FleetCommand am I going too far with this?

user226528

@Rahul2001 You are looking at "too far" in the rear view mirror.

jokerdino

Do you have a backup gf?

Rahul2001

@FleetCommand Not sure what that means but I take it that it isn't a positive response

@jokerdino Uh. No. Why, that's... Messed up.

Wait are you suggesting Powershell has its equivalent of "Woof"?

allquixotic

19:18

@PowershellforLinux yes, lol

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (AlterN:String) [], CommandNotFoundException. I'm a Powershell script.

Woof, I'm a powershell script

dism and bootrec and sfc and chkdsk found no problems

djsmiley2k

Ben N

It definitely is, I can see all the things in the recovery environment

The BCD is fine too

I need an April fool's joke to play on my girlfriend

Burgi

his stag do would be rubbish, we are too tall for the ball pit and he is too young for the pub/gentleman's special club

speaking of stag parties, a lad at work is jewish and they made him dress up as an SS officer

i had to buy a matteress this evening

it was weird lying on a bed in a shop

my mum kept saying "that sales assistant was in to you"

i'm convinced she just wanted the comission

That Brazilian Guy

23:04

@DavidPostill Why are you doing April Fools' jokes in March?

Burgi

its april ~~tomorrow~~ today...

also maybe he needs a large build up

That Brazilian Guy

It's tomorrow goddammit

Burgi

as long as you announce the joke before midday you are ok

That Brazilian Guy

Wait... @BenN and @PowershellforLinux are in the same chatroom... at the same time...

Powershell for Linux

I think I may be responsible for some drunk people now hunting for a cat in the students union toilets

@ThatBrazilianGuy this has happened before

The world has not wbded

That Brazilian Guy

@PowershellforLinux West-Bengal Departament of Educational Development?

@PowershellforLinux Could be worse, you could be responsible for cat people hunting drunk students.

Or drunk toilets.

Powershell for Linux

@ThatBrazilianGuy shudder

Just washed my motorbike... It's so shiny now. So nice to be able to actually read my speedo again

That Brazilian Guy

23:17

@PowershellforLinux Wait, does it mean that you were randomly meowing in the toilets? 0.o

I don't think I want to know why.

Powershell for Linux

@ThatBrazilianGuy apparently I do a very convincing accidental cat impression

And yes, it was an accident

@Bob: there was something I was going to say to you but I've totally forgotten what

It probably had something to do with phones.

Oh yeah, I remember now

What's the markup for the keyboard key indicators?

Powershell for Linux

Huh?

DavidPostill

music2myear

I don't use them frequently and so usually look for a Q where someone else used them, but I'm having a devil of a time finding one of those atm.

Powershell for Linux

Makes me grin when I see the 3 taxis in front of me get flashed by a speed camera because now I can see my own speedo so I can see when I'm not speeding.

DavidPostill

@PowershellforLinux Are you chatting whilst ~~driving~~ riding your bike? :)

That Brazilian Guy

@PowershellforLinux And what's male swimwear got to do with it?

DavidPostill

lol

Powershell for Linux

23:55

@ThatBrazilianGuy the amount of liquid in said swimwear can be used as a reliable indicator of velocity.
