Genuinely Useful Bug Reports

I guess I could have guessed that*
(*and my point re picking the asterisk as the delimiter?)
-
May be a bit late now, but would it not have made more sense to go with a less-frequently used character like | or ^ ?
The fundament of Markdown is that you type plaintext with all the hobbled formatting you get, and then MarkDown can make it into pretty formatting.
So when you're all ghetto text typing, you usually do * for both notes and for list items, but people also use dash for that.
I'm not too amused that Markdown believes * equals emphasis and ** equals bold, since this goes straight against common convention, but take that up with the dude (Daring Fireball, was it?).

Man, in the future when all forms of formatting have been replaced with Markdown we're going to have trouble explaining the history to kids..
Edit: Well, I thought I got this Markdowning stuff but it just completely fucked up the Markdown I added to your quote.

Except for really simple stuff, like *, ** and [text](link), I just ignore markdown. Markdown allows you to embed HTML (although Discourse appears to sanitize some perfectly reasonable things that don't really need to be sanitized, like <span style="...">). Why bother learning yet another syntax that adds no value?

Bug: Selecting an entire post for quoting can be very tricky if you want to include a leading "I" or the punctuation at the end. Not sure how to screenshot this but just mess around and you'll find it. If you select too much and grab something that's not part of the post, the quote button goes away.
Expectation: Quoting an entire post in a reply should be easy.

You're kind of missing the point of having a reply button. This is the same reasoning as "don't quote the OP".

Personally I find the topics easier to follow if quotes are used, instead of clicking through the link thingies. In any case, if you're going to provide a feature it should work and not be aggravating. So far I have no trouble unless the first or last characters are very small or thin.
Unless everyone wants to stay on topic and post sequentially so that the next post is always relevant to the previous post.

Click reply and then click the "speech bubble" in the top left of the composer.

That is certainly easier than what I was trying to do. Thanks.

I've never understood how that was against his religion. In Rastafarianism, are the toes are sacrosanct? Could he not amputate a toe because Haile Selassie had all of his toes?

If the label said "100% Vicuña" then why did it test positive for capybara DNA?

I think Rastas are against anything that makes any goddamn sense. I mean, they worship the mid-century emperor of a country whose name is synonymous with starving to death as the reincarnation of God.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to flag this post. It is actually relevant to the previous post, and we can't have any of that here.

You could probably do it with a box cutter if you just do it quick, like ripping off a band-aid. Just do it quick, and try to focus on getting through and not on the pain.
But, yeah, there's gonna to be some yak semen.. that's just unavoidable.

Vincent who? There's a guy in that picture?

Stage right would be his right, our left. I don't think that's a guy (although I could be wrong).

Fine. Stage stage right, then.
It really isn't complicated. Stage vs. audience. Stage right/left is from the POV of someone standing on the stage, looking at the audience; exactly opposite to the POV of the audience looking at the stage.

Right, so "stage right" is the right side of the stage. "Audience right" is the right side of the audience, which if you were standing on stage looking at the audience would be the left side of the stage that they see. Here, I drew a diagram:
There, that should clear everything up.

Why is the actor performing in front of a bunch of helium balloons? Is he trying to shoot them with that odd looking gun? And why was his right arm amputated? I hate these artsy performance pieces.

It's Taming of the Shrew. It's from the end, after he tamed the shrew and they became lifelong friends and then the shrew died and he's holding his shrew's skull and lamenting the death of his shrew.

Ah. I've only seen the movie musical version.
-

Presumably the gravedigger that exhumed the skull, but I don't recall if he has any lines. He must have, because I think Billy Crystal played him in the Branaugh version, and that guy won't shut up under any circumstances.

That's after the montage where he and the shrew are buddy cops fighting crime in 16th Century Venice, right? Because I stop watching after the gondola chase.

Yeah, I thought using Free Ride as the chase music was a little tasteless.

Funny story about that--originally Francis Ford Coppola cast him as Othello, but at that last minute decided he hadn't ruined enough films by needlessly inserting his daughter and had her play the Moor.
Duncan was pay-or-play, so they had to put him somewhere.
-

I heard it was a tit-for-tat thing. They had to include the song in order to get Edgar Winter to play the part of the pillar of salt.
