hk blues Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 14 hours ago, coprolite said: Some very vain imbeciles inject synthetic oils into their muscles to look like they've got bigger muscles. Prompted by the Enhanced Games thread where i'd assumed i was on the wrong side of a wind up, but it looks like it's actually a real thing. Still feels like a massive hoax, like the flat earth thing. Wait, what? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 A "fan oven" and a "fan assisted oven" are different things, with the former (also known as a convection oven) being identifiable by having a circle around the picture of the fan on the dial. Discovered in answer to the question "where's the fucking element?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Any dots before the @ in an email Gmail address are completely superfluous. I.e. if my email was hedge.cutter@gmail.com then I'd still receive an email even if somebody accidentally sent it to hedgecutter@gmail.com Edited March 31 by Hedgecutter 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. if my email was hedge.cutter@gmail.com then I'd still receive an email even if somebody accidentally sent it to hedgecutter@gmail.com This is not true, but the example will work, because of the specific domain. Gmail addresses work that way and are also case-insensitive; but neither of those is required by the relevant RFCs. (In practice, dots aren't generally irrelevant; case isn't generally relevant.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Although I know 22 short stories about Springfield is a Pulp fiction parody, and get all the references, I never made the connection to this one scene until earlier. Marsellus Wallace yells "I'ma get medieval on yo ass!".... Milhouse literally went medieval, swinging a chain mace around wearing the knights helmet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard it can be used in tracing spam. eg if you sign up for various websites/services then put a dot or a random capitalization somewhere new each time, so that if you do get spam emails then you can trace which service it came from/who sold your data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Just got my renewed drivers license. The “Great State of Texas” hasn’t seen me in person for a renewal of my license since 2016 (and that was just for a picture…no testing of any sort), and just issued a new license that’s good until 2032 by mail. No wonder the driving here has gone even more to shite! Edited April 2 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Farter Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Today I learned that TIL stands for Today I Learned. I'd seen it on Twitter and had been reading it as 'til, as in short for until, even though I knew it wasn't that because that wouldn't be capitalised. I googled it now and it's an initialism/acronym for Today I Learned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
