The engineers all go to 11x. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

Oh, I see. And most engineers go up to 10x?

Exactly.

Does that mean they’re better? Are they any better?

Well, it's one better, isn't it? It's not 10x. You see, most engineers, you know, will be coding at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your code delivery. Where can you go from there? Where?

I don't know.

Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Hire an eleven.

Eleven. Exactly. One better.

Why don't you just make ten better and make ten be the top number and make that a little better?

[pause] These engineers go to eleven.

Excellent work IMDb. #spinaltap

BTW, I am pretty sure this is the source for the #SpinalTap scene where they can't find the stage.

Sorry I'm too tired tonight to come up with five for [#]ThursdayFiveList.

But I hope one of you legends includes Spın̈al Tap on your [#]BlowingInTheWind list.

Specifically Break Like the Wind.

Brackets are to save from ruining the day of people who are taking it seriously.

Finally. It's taken me *years* to talk my wife into watching the Bros documentary.
"The letters H.O.M.E. are so important because they personify the word home."
"I made a conscious decision, because of Stevie Wonder, not to be superstitious."
"CNN is the thinking man’s reality show.”
"I was a rectangle and [Luke] was a rectangle and we made a square that became a fortress.”

@TimWardCam Yes, the #EdStone was so cringetastic that it was almost briĺliant. Pure #SpinalTap.

Tho sadly, he's probably better known for the bacon sandwich. For me, the bacon always feels a bit anti-jewish

But a decade in, Ed has matured and learned a lot. Just like William Hague did.

In policy terms, Ed Mikivand is now a real heavyweight. A lot of common ground between Ed and the #GPEW.

#ArbolateSum is my favourite spatial hydrography parameter...

So I asked AI (on my personal PC) to make me a t-shirt in the style of #SpinalTap, the prompting was fun...

We finally watched the Spinal Tap sequel tonight. It goes without saying it's not a patch on the original. But despite that, it was a lot better than I expected. We laughed and chuckled throughout.

I must have watched the original a dozen times (more?) And while that won't happen with the sequel, I *am* very glad I saw it.

#SpinalTap #SpinalTap2

Just about to watch #ThisIsSpinalTap for the first time. #SpinalTap

My 'favourite' technical phrase specific to hydrography - Arbolate Sum - I thought deserved an #AISlop band t-shirt in the style of 'Spinal Tap'...

@Eetschrijver hahaha zeker :) #SpinalTap

This is Spinal Tap was released in theatres on this day in 1984.

Finally got around watching the second Spinal Tap, and considering the first one is one of my top 3 favorite movies, it was of course a very disappointing experience #SpinalTap

There has been a disappointing lack of #SpinalTap references since #Drupal went to 11.

Happy 78th birthday to Nigel Tufnel, aka Christopher Guest , Born today 5th February 1948

I just added the following comment to a commit: "change font size to 11".

Now I have the strange feeling of working on some Spinal Tap repository.

I've been replicating Marty DiBergi's hat patch from "Spinal Tap."

Unrestrained moderation

I’m finding myself draw to this phrase. It’s clearly messing with me; At first brush it might seem to be an oxymoron. However it depends on which definition of “moderation” I choose. If moderation is something I have—say, I am moderate in my opinions—then that moderation simply is. That moderation is neither short nor tall, slow nor fast, and neither restrained nor unrestrained.

But if moderation is thought of as an action—something I am doing continuously, like running or living or talking—then it can clearly be done to different degrees. My running can be slow or fast. (Technically, my running is uniformly slow, but bear with me for this simile.) My living can be conservative or outlandish. And so my moderation can be restrained or unrestrained. Currently, my moderation dial is turned to about, 2; Picture me knocking on the control panel asking, “Hello? Is this on?” I need to twist that moderation up to 11.
