🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD

His clothes already look amplified to me.

Man vs Food is one of those rare breed of reality shows that are actually real; those restaurants do exist, that food is served, and yes, that guy did attempt all those challenges
A place that I frequent has one of those challenges (3-pound burger), but I've never seen anyone actually try it.
KillBurn the heretic!You're Doing It Wrong™.

I caught a show where they had a four pound burger. I didn't see the end, but he was having trouble in pound 3 right before I had to leave.

adding bacon to something disgusting does not make it non-disgusting
You're not using enough bacon
Even 99% bacon and 1% disgusting is still disgusting if that 1% is sufficiently bad, and is merely a waste of good bacon.

Needs more bacon. Eventually you won't notice the disgusting stuff. Like how there are minimum values for rat droppings in grain or whatever. At some point it's only homeopathically disgusting.

Ok, I'm officialy hooked.

I expect @hardwaregeek will take a while to get around to reading it.
I can't remember whether I've run across it before (the name looks vaguely familiar), but I've definitely not read any significant amount of it. I'm definitely not going to start any time soon.
Interesting coincidence: I was talking to my son on the phone last night, and he was trying very hard to convince me to start reading Grrl Power. I gave him the same answer I gave here, not while I have almost 10 years of Schlock Mercenary to catch up on. However, I have bookmarked it to get around to reading it eventually.

The less disgusting stuff there is, the more disgusting it becomes?
-

sign up for comic rocket and add it. then your spot is bookmarked wuth a dynamic bookmark and you know when your comics have new pages so if you miss a couple of days you don't get jokes or plotlines spoiled by accidentally jumping ahead! :-D
-

No, diluting the disgusting to a statistically nonexistent level cures disgustingness. Probably stops you farting and picking your nose or something
-
Is only "meh" I mostly gave it a shot due to Dominic Deegan.
-
Cool. This is a thing about which I did not know. I knew of comic rocket, but only as a list of comics that I might or might not be interested in reading. I didn't know about the bookmark thing. Apropos of which, my son was also telling me of a comic — I don't remember which one — that he was reading the archive from the beginning, and somehow managed to inadvertently skip three years in the middle; I will suggest this to him the next time I talk to him.
-

it's got a slow start, and it absolutley reads better in batches, but it's still better than meh!
also dominic Deegan is totally worth reading!
i hope we get enough on patreon to make mookie start that continuationesque comic he was talking about!
-

it does that too, but it also keeps your place in them. which is why i use them.
has a lot of comics, but not all. some authors have asked their comics to be unlisted which annoys me whenever that happens and i was all like "but i was reading that!"

Badneutral idea: listen to this bunch of geeks talking about comics. now i have a part of my future reserved for reading webcomics

Bad Idea: Expecting to get work done with Frog's Theme blaring in your head, with an hour and a half to go until the announcements begin.
The worst part is, it'll probably just be Crono showing up in some kind of second 3ds Kingdom Hearts or something.
-
Bad Idea: Symantec Antivirus. It got going, started thrashing my disk, then it would take 20 - 30 seconds for my keystrokes to register. And when they did register, they'd show up out-of-order.
I'd rather have all the viruses on the Internet on my system than Symantec.
-
Everyone is excited about the fact that Kingdom Hearts => Disney => Star Wars. But that doesn't mean Vader vs Sephiroth. Oh no, it means Son vs Sephiroth, because if it's not Clone Wars, it's not something that matters anymore.
-
The problem with webcomics is just how frickin' long it takes for anything to happen. The entire ten-plus year run of Freefall has only been a few weeks of in-universe time, and the last year or two has only been one day.
The entire 5-year or whatever run of Grrl Power has only been about 26 hours so far.
BTW, I'm trying to find a comic I read a bunch of early this year but forgot to bookmark--anyone know this one? It takes place in the future, with a young woman who took a job as an pilot/assistant to some guy trying to prove a theory about gravitic energy or zero-point energy or something. The guy is like 7 feet tall due to some kind of chemical imbalance, and looks vaguely like Tom Baker; the strip's been on Earth, Mercury, the Moon, and a couple other places so far, and I can't remember the name or URL of it.

This is why, in spite of my company's policy to have SA on computers, I run with nothing but the freeware Microsoft AV tool. (Well, that and because in all the years I've been here I've had one instance where the AV spotted something.)
-
Bad Idea: Rubbing one's eyes after dicing jalapeños to make chili. Even after having washed one's hands a dozen times, it's not a good idea.
Filed under: Yes, Chrome, jalapeños is the correct spelling; jalapenos is wrong.
-
Ouch.
-
Like I said, I'd already washed my hands a bunch of times, so it was just barely enough to notice and think, "Hmm, I must have rubbed my eyelid; I probably shouldn't have done that."

I remember reading, many years ago, a Usenet discussion about habañeros and the PPE appropriate for safe handling while cooking with them: gloves and goggles are de rigueur, at least according to one commenter.
-
In high school home economics class, we did a cooking unit and one kid was chopping habañeros. He stupidly managed to touch both his eyes and his junk, and ended up having an emergency doctor visit.
-
He stupidly managed to touch both his eyes and his junk
After the first eye how did the second happen, much less his junk?
-
Where else are you gonna wipe your eye-boogers?
-
It took a few minutes before it started burning, apparently.
-
It took a few minutes before it started burning
So in home ec class cutting chilis then hands in the pants within a couple minutes? I mean I guess that covers eyes, but...
-
Idk, I wasn't in that class, just heard about it a few hours after it happened. It really wasn't surprising...you know how some stupid things would shock you until you find out who it was then you're like "Oh, him. Yeah I could see that happening."

It was a weird article as she accepted that it's the tattooist's right (and I would say professional duty) to advise customers against getting tattoos that he/she considers ill-advised. If accurately described his bedside manner could probably be improved.
Maybe the article should have been called: "Be A Bit More Tactful When Telling Me Not To Get A Fucking Neck Tattoo"
-
habañeros
That spelling however, is wrong.
As confirmed by this Wikipedia onebox:
I had an uncle die of hyperforeignism. It's no joke.

Like how there are minimum values for rat droppings in grain or whatever.
I don't think so. I think there's only maximum values.
-
In America there's probably a minimum value for good old Murican rat droppings

This post is deleted!

I prefer Ace's title* (from where I'm sure @FrostCat saw the article):
* That "Dad" bit was from a[n Instapundit] commenter -- Dack Thrombosis, he says -- but would you trust a man named Dack Thrombosis?!
-
Actually, I'd think the back of your neck would be an OK place to have some art. On the throat, though...that'd be a bit problematic, and not just for social reasons.
-

TIL. Anybody know how to take an erroneously added word out of Chrome's dictionary?
-
The long way:
-
Ugh. I agree with commenters in that topic that there should be a way to do that through the UI, especially since that .txt file doesn't use CRLF line endings, so Notepad barfs on it. Also, I didn't see anything in that thread about the checksum and what Chrome does if it's wrong because you edited the dictionary.
Whatever. It gave me an excuse to restart Chrome, which in turn gave me a good opportunity to restart Windows, which it's been bugging me to do because updates.
Which seems to have been an excuse for Discourse to develop a case of server cooties.

Bad Idea: Gonad seeking missiles...
/me runs away
@loose said:
Piece 2. Well piece 2 is as small as it can be whilst still being large enough to see at 50 paces. It is travelling at near relativistic speeds in the direction you would least want it too.
Straight for the gonads?!
OUCH!

-
you'll probably have the closest set when you fire the missile.....
-

On more recent version of Chrome, you can remove words that you have added to the dictionary by navigating to chrome://settings/editDictionary. (Except for OSX, which uses the system-wide spellchecker.)
(that's a very random set of words I have in my dictionary. Huh.)
