🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD

No you don't

(I didn't notice comments wre disabled on the video.)
Can't people trim their nails without a robot that takes 30 minutes (and requiring you to soak to soften the nail)?
From the comments at the site I saw about the video, I thought it was about people with ingrown toenails, not just needing a trim. Of course, those comments devolved immediately into people epeening about how many injections they needed before the doctor could fix their particular toenail, and several of them said they thought this looked like an improvement.
None of this was an inducement to watch the video for me.

It can be improved:
"We fit, even it it won't"

That just means they disabled comments.

Stuck on hold calling a billing department, and heard "all of our agents are busy on another call." That seems inefficient.

Not when "all of our agents" == 1.

Maybe it's a conference call? (With management?)

Shouldn't that be
"all of our agents".Count() == 1
?
-
No, "all our agents are belong to us."

Good thing we have SJW voice of reason against rampart gamergate abusers.
-
I think we need a "depressing ideas thread".
-
Did you mean "flabdablet's friends thread"?
-
Why do people interact in video games? Turn off the audio chat and move along.
-
Do we have a dumb ideas thread yet?
"I recall a collective meeting about setting up a weekly telephone support service for lesbians. It was decided that each collective member would volunteer to take turns manning the phones at their own home, until we could raise the money to rent a space. One of the members did not have a telephone in her house, but insisted she was being discriminated against and "oppressed" by being left out of the rota."

gasp
I have to wonder if any of them caught that, and if so, any of them did the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Knights of Ni scene: "you said the word!" etc.
-
Possibly Benidorm?
Sounds like a fun place, but I wouldn't put it on that list. My favorite part of the article:
The statement explains that the application has the backing of academics at the University of Angers in France,
Did @blakeyrat study there?
-
Without interactions, MMORPGs are just shitty RPGs.

It's French, it probably sounds like 'aujjjjs'.

Yes, it's called "Recognising [sic] Microaggressions"

Oh, I changed the tracking on that thread some time ago. Too much stupid.
Also,
SERVER COOTIES ARE BACK

WTF #1: some request in Discourse must be synchronous, because it's hanging the page.
WTF #2: in fact it's hanging the whole of Firefox.
WTF #3: yes, I still use Firefox.
-
If you used Chrome, it would only hang that one tab.
Also, you get a task manager for individual tabs, so you can kill a specific tab if it's being stupid and using 9999% cpu.
-
And as an added benefit, all your tabs get smaller the more you have, so you won't ever have more than 30! And in task manager, you'll have 30 identical chrome.exe entries! It's wonderful!
-
And in task manager, you'll have 30 identical chrome.exe entries!
There's a
fixworkaround for that:
-
How is Discourse using 1 byte per second?
-
Yes, but that qualifies as tr , implementing your own task manager while breaking the real one, despite not needing to.

Breaking the real one? How so?
The primary column is Image Name, which tells you nothing about what the process is doing. If that column did show more than "chrome.exe *32", then it'd be broken. Or do you mean the fact that there is a separate Chrome process for each tab? Seems like a reasonable way to keep one tab from freezing up your entire window, and it also makes it really easy to drag a tab into a new or different window.
So the Chrome task manage allows you to easily identify each tab process. That seems like a bonus. It also let's you determine if the problem is in an extension and terminate the extension, if necessary, which seems like another bonus. Neither of the capabilities is available, in any way, in the Windows Task Manager. The Chrome Task Manager is providing new functionality.
So again, how does Chrome break the Windows Task Manager?

Polling, polling, polling, keep them tabbies polling!
-
So again, how does Chrome break the Windows Task Manager?
By making it impossible to know which tab is which. I know I've seen more information in that column before, but regardless: The whole point of the task manager is to see and manage current tasks. If you make it useless for that, you are tr , even if you add your own.

I would if I could. IT does not believe in that sort of thing, though.
So, now Chrome has a completely redundant thing.
-
If you have Firefox and Chrome open at the same time, it shows both of them, separately, but on the same page.
-
IT does not believe in that sort of thing, though.
The one good thing about being de facto IT for my office is I can do that kind of thing, as long as "but I need the latest OS to make sure [our application] is compatible with it" even though nobody else in the company seems to realize there's no reason it wouldn't be.
-
But why only 1 byte? I'd imagine it to be something more like a few kilobytes. Like that one Minecraft server I ran where standing still would send 20 bytes of data and 12 kilobytes of TCP overhead per second.
-
It's not redundant. The Windows thing has an entry for each program that created a window, not each program that is rendering something. AFAIK you can't do anything more fine-grained than "the executable has this name embedded in it" and "the window has this title" in the task manager, so Chrome is completely in the right for having its own.

What's the time frame over which it averages? That could easily get down there if you get towards the end of that frame after the last activity.
-
If you have Firefox and Chrome open at the same time
- What about IE? browseronormative!
- But then I'd have firefox on me and/or my computer.
-
I'd hope it would be 1 second, but even if it's a minute, I don't see how sending a 1-byte HTTP request is possible.

I don't know. You should email someone at Google.

Firefox was an example. Most browsers are supported by that stats page.

It's probably there to confuse Aspies.

Belgium was an example.
I am disappointed you didn't comment on the image I spent almost a minute manipulating.

It doesn't show IE. I don't have Safari or Firefox, so I can't test them.
