RE: The Backup Likes Thread - Just for @HardwareGeek and @Luhmann, now with extra 😽🐈
If it's going to have the sauce though, it needs to be baked in the sauce. Then the sauce can bake in and get slightly caramelized.
Just putting it on after the fact is not the same. In that case, I'd rather have my ribs naked.
I think those places only have the sauce at all for people who think they need it.
They have signs up saying "No forks! No sauce! needed". Their BBQ is great even if their punctuation isn't.

Slathered in BBQ sauce.
Some of the BBQ places here have the sauce on the side which I like because I prefer it without the sauce. If it's not good without the sauce, I go somewhere else.

RE: Important announcement: It's snowing in Canada
@hungrier Here's what that would look like if it snowed in Dallas.
We got a slight dusting of snow overnight, which partially melted and refroze, making the highways into skating rinks. Trolls in SUVs are intentionally getting in front of cars without AWD and slowing down. As a result, traffic on google maps shows the entire city as red even though half of the city is staying home after clearing the shelves at Walmart. Everything will be back to normal tomorrow when the snow and ice melt. Hopefully no one will have slid into my parked car this time.

How long will we get to keep notifications? Surely there must be a point where there are too many menu items if 3 glyphs and an avatar are "too many".

There are two types of programming languages:

Stupid Quora Questions (but I repeat myself)
I'll start:
https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-get-a-2800-fide-rating-fast-in-chess-I-am-a-new-player
For those of you who don't play chess, this is similar to asking "How do I become an NBA all-star fast? I am a new player."

that's already illegal
That's stopped people from suggesting new laws approximately never.

Also, while I think you have a bit of a crazy reaction to copyright in general, I don't understand why you'd be mad at him for what you see as problems with the system.
Actually, he has some valid points, but his anger is misdirected. Copyright was never intended to create a new class of permanent property, but with it getting extended every time Mickey Mouse is about to go public domain, that's exactly what happened.

RE: Tinder is shit
I hope (and assume) you know this by now, but guys want whoever is least interested in them.
But there is some hope for humanity in the top-rated comment:
You’re not a “love addict”; I sincerely doubt someone as sociopathic as you is capable of experiencing or comprehending what love actually is. You’re a narcissist, utterly devoid of empathy or decency, with a short attention span.

I can learn a fictional language from a show about dragons, but if I want to learn Tagalog, a real language that people speak in the world, I'm out of luck.
While we're talking about duolingo: it says I'm 20% fluent in Spanish. I don't feel fluent at all and can't understand more than a word here and there. On the bright side, I can now say "I want a beer", so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Other fun ones I've done include making up a wild story about how it was probably my fault since I was drunk, high and not even licensed to be driving a school bus. My wife once told one of them that she had been in an accident, and that it was so bad she died. They stayed on the line until she started making ghostly noises.

RE: Nope
The basic problem with being an ambitious architect in the 21st Century is that after 10,000 years of architecture, virtually almost all the good designs possible have already been done by architects who came before you. We are 10,000 years into diminishing returns on architectural innovations.
So, how can you make yourself a name? By creating bad designs and talking a small number of wealthy clients into putting up with them while you garner media attention.
Or we could get rid of the idea that art (including architecture) has to be innovative to have any value.
