Shouldn't have crashed the economy then

The Paedophile Prince just can't catch a break (from his own crimes)! Although, obviously, unfortunately, he has caught a massive break in as much as he's still minted, and not in prison.

Can we turn all the lights off and pretend nobody's home when they come knocking? We'll definitely hear them coming.

Can old Nige distance himself from the mortal coil while he's at it, the lecherous racist freak?

This dork should visit the titanic.

Sure but I'm not saying it's completely impossible to understand. We're just talking about unusual language usage.

Those uses are pretty interchangeable, but that's not what I meant -- I meant things like "when I was a child" vs "whenever I was a child", or "when I was sick" vs "whenever I was sick" (talking about one specific instance of being ill).

I think it's an American thing. I see and hear "whenever" used by them a lot when they mean "when", too - it's just one of those differences I guess!

Imagine Nigel Farage calling absolutely anything or anyone else "disgraceful". The guy belongs head-first in a concrete mixer. Piece of shit.

Why doesn't long-term alcohol abuse kill the ones that deserve it most?

God, it's just all so bleak.

Hey guys! Sorry if this isn't the best place for this but I couldn't really find anywhere else.

I've been working for 6/7 years as a web developer full-time now, and I'm still plagued by one mega frustrating habit. When I'm working on something complex on one page, and it gets completed, I'll fairly often get notified either by the client or my boss a day or two later while they're testing the whole site that there's something broken on another page.

Almost always, it'll be down to the fix I've recently made.

Is there a way to avoid this kind of tunnel vision? I try to keep my code localised as much as possible, avoiding interacting with global scope and, if it's really for one specific thing, tying it down to that page in particular, but short of testing the entire site every time I make any change... is there anything else I can do?

Thanks!
