@Vixen Just FYI, I am fully trained in the use of handcuffs in case you'd ever want to try getting cuffed.
Hey, @error, you left yourself signed in to the wrong alt
lol handcuffs

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
That's from a porn game, isn't it?
You couldn't know that unless you played it so I wonder why do you ask?
And yes, that gold will be mostly in the form of handcuffs. with fantastic fuzzy faux fur. Prelubricated.

@error_bot oh, you do support that. I was unsure.

@hungrier I'm willing to believe that every remaining COBOL programmer is a hostage situation.
I know some of them. They are pretty smug for hostages.
"I have employment safety for life and I don't even have to try"
"All this newfangled shit is useless. You can do everything in COBOL"
"Pff, learning new languages? What for?"
They sound exactly like an average programmer!
(The first one might be country-specific.)
I have the opposite impression. Jumping to every pre-alpha buggy turd in sight and using it for mission critical stuff seems to be the default mode for average programmer.

@levicki
Definitely a faux pas on your end here

words "foxy" and "vixen" go well together.
I wonder why.

Huh, it's like it still doesn't make sense.

No that's what would happen if @Vixen grabbed his ass

@hungrier I wish we had a cat cosplayer on the forum - I just thought of the most awful Trump joke.

@Tsaukpaetra said in WTF Bites:
It's pretty vanilla,
If I recall it correctly (this is the Internet, so I try not to let things like that stick in my memory), there's precisely no definition of "vanilla" for which that is true.
Not judging, you understand. Just stating facts.

Q: How do you distinguish an average programmer from a good programmer?
A: Show them npm and the JS ecosystem. If they run screaming, they're a good programmer.

Definitely a faux pas on your end hereUnless their avatar is not a fox, but to me it looked like one, not to mention words "foxy" and "vixen" go well together.but Faux is pronounced like

Unless you mean the webcomic that is spelled Faux Pas but is canonically pronounced "fox paws" for reasons of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you go and science that, sure. I'm going to as for leg cuffs, and extra wrist cuffs, 24 carat preferred, but 18 will do. yeah. more chain to. make sure that all my restraints have the proper amount of chain so that I have freedom of movement withing the area I'm aloud to be in, but also that I cannot move quickly with the chain because of the weight.... That will prevent me from going far fast if I make a run for it and i can be easily reacaptured.
How much burden weighing your body down can you actually carry before you have serious difficulty walking? Because if you want
millions of dollars worth of gold
well, at today's spot price, $1 million in pure gold weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 pounds.

I'm pretty much a wimp, but for that I wouldn't mind carrying 45 pounds of gold to the bank.
What was the quote from themisogynyporn trial thread? Everyone has a price.

They only had to take the letters to my lawyer to receive the key to the safety deposit box at a bank hundreds of miles away that itself has the key to a safety deposit box in the local bank which finally actually contains the millions of dollars worth of gold that i was restrained with and had the foresight to take with me when I escaped.
Of course as soon as the lawyer realized you were a fugitive he told the whole scheme to the police to avoid any legal troubles himself. The police immediately got a court order for that deposit box and the bank handed over the gold and changed the lock.
Maybe bitcoin keys would have worked better.

Guess they got annoyed at people who don't carry around their subway loyalty card everywhere...
They probably did that just to make sure that people can't sift discarded receipts out of the trash and get unlimited free points.

Heh, there's a unicode character in one of the threads here that (outdated) Firefox really doesn't want to deal with:

Hey it's not my problem you people can't handle subtle jokes.
from what y'all have told me this place is as subtle as a 69 megaton thermonuclear detonation.
so.... you can't really be surprised when people miss your "finer" jokes.

I typed that (0xF17A) into Google on my ESR, and the browser seems fine. I'm more worried about the search results, especially images.

I am not suprised, getting subtle jokes requires IQ higher than the room temperature.
So, we should call you Drax then?

No need to call me, I'll call you.
Yeah, you're obviously not fast enough.

Also Planck.

That one was a bit too subtle for me, can you explain it in great detail?

Based on commercials I've been getting, apparently there is an Ikea catalog audiobook now.
I don't get the point. But that might just be me.

It seems like it starts after this post got partially shown? https://what.thedailywtf.com/post/1576384
It contains a bunch of Font-Awesome emojis, which tend to be implemented by a custom font using a character in the "private range" of Unicode. This means you won't find a usable presentation on Google unless you happen to hit the Font-Awesome font itself.

(also, for some reason, TDWTF thinks this is a screenshot of the lounge)
There's a subtle background pattern in there and on their links / previews on the unread / recent / etc pages and some special code that looks for that when you paste an image to help you prevent leaking any Lounge stuff accidentally.
-
@boomzilla Using high-end CSI detective software MS Paint I was able to enhance the images and find that there's some tiny bits of lounge background in the first screenshot around one of the avatars and in the post preview area, and in the second screenshot an entire blanked out topic row.
-
in the first screenshot around one of the avatars
First one didn't trigger the warning.
There's a subtle background pattern in there and on their links / previews on the unread / recent / etc pages
I knew about the background+detection, but not that it's also in the links/previews. Makes sense, though.
