How do you guys describe TDWTF forums?
-
It's all about curious perversions in information technology. If they still want to know what it's about, link them to the Guacamole thread
-
If the goal is to increase our readership, that is the best way not to do so.
-
Proof that 'upgrading' to Discourse, even from the worst forum software in the entire world, is a bad idea
That's how I'd describe them.

Do you work in Marketing or something?
BURN THE WITCH!

give up and learn to farm instead.
My alternate plan is to either be a latter-day Grizzly Adams, or to become a cowboy at a dude ranch in Montana.
-

I've been accused of a lot of things, but that one really stings!
-
to become a cowboy at a dude ranch in Montana
Why not a nurse?

What happened to the first three?

Seriously though, isn't that the bridge famous for collapsing? No, nevermind, that was the Tay Bridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster . It was built by ignoring advice from the Forth Bridge, and therefore collapsed in high wind.

Badaboom!Seriously though, isn't that the bridge famous for collapsing? No, nevermind, that was the Tay Bridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster . It was built by ignoring advice from the Forth Bridge, and therefore collapsed in high wind.
Yup! You want to see bloody facebook over here (actually, on balance, no you don't). Nothing but fucking bridge talk, discussions, diagnosis and moans for a week now.

In totally unrelated bridge news, our (Seattle's) World's Longest Floating Bridge (it beats the older one by like 10 feet) is almost done.
-
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiittttttttt............. floating bridge?
How long would it take you to get it to Scotland? They reckon it's going to cost $15m to fix our bridge and that it's costing industry $3m a day so I reckon you and me could split the profit on the "mysteriously disappeared Seattles World's Longest Floating Bridge" - what do you say...?
-
If it was in the Sound we could just attach a dozen tugs and float it right through the Panama Canal. It's seaworthy. Ish. At least moreso than most bridges.
But it's in Lake Washington, and it doesn't really connect to the ocean at all. Alas.
-
Shouldn't that be: The Daily Wurst Than Failure?
I'll see myself out!
-
Where's your ambition, man?
Zeppelin?
-
I'd love to see someone calculate the cubic feet of helium required to lift the bridge, or even one section of it. But I'm too lazy to do the math myself.
-
BTW if you like the concept of a floating bridge, you should read up on when the I-90 bridge sunk back in 1990.
It was fun telling people unfamiliar with the concept of floating bridges that one of Seattle's sunk.

"Goddammit, hundreds of million of dollars lost because some asshole brought a pushpin?"
-
It was actually dumber than that somehow.
"Hey guyz, we wanna aquablast this pavement, but where do we put the wastewater? We can't just dump it in the lake."
"How about we just dump it in the pontoons!? You know the hollow space that keeps it afloat!?"
"GOOD IDEA! But make sure you leave all the hatches open when you go off-duty, so rain water can get in also."
It'd be nice if, for a change, a piece of Seattle transportation infrastructure failed because of, say, an earthquake or natural disaster or something. Instead of just morons.
-
I'm familiar with the concept of floating bridges. They're impractical if you also have heavy ship traffic.
-
"It's a place where some people in my industry go to complain about things."
-
It's 4chan for people who don't think they're in 4chan
It's /g/ with usernames.
-
And as a bonus fail all the wastewater ends up in the lake anyway.
-
As did thousands of tons of concrete and steel.

Das Taglich Wurst dann Failure?
Sounds about right in the wrong way, so perfect description for this site

Das Taglich Wurst
Fortunately not a thing in the local cafeteria...
dann Failure?
... but unfortunately this is.
-
My wife refers to this place as "that garbage site", which is probably not entirely unfair...

What about /d/ ?

lucky basterd my conversations were (untill I met my wife) :
What's your job

Sounds pretty cool to me!
... what do you mean I'm a massive nerd?
-
E_DOES_NOT_COMPUTE
I should have added: for an arts major.
My flatmates were all doing arts and/or fashion. And at parties people thought I was a really cool nice guy until they found that I was doing Physics.
-

Ah, so that's why I don't fit in the world! I'd probably think all your friends are cool until I found out they are doing art or fashion.
:P
-
At my university, those doing physics were the ones who didn't have the grades to apply for an engineering curricula like CS or electronics. I'm sure there were some who did want to apply for physics but over there, physics end up giving classes or poverty.
-
In my defence I have a degree in applied physics and one in electronics and one in chemistry
-
For the Welsh, The Daily Beth Y Fuck?
-
What about /d/ ?
I'm not sure if purple dildos count as /d/ material, and our transgender flamewars are a poor substitute for futanari.

Why would you mislead people with such bad guides? Sounds like a dick move to me.
-
It's like making a guide on how to bake cakes and starting with "now, the first thing you want to do is find a chimpanzee".

It would appear, "What"

That's what I thought...

You should try searching that with a space in it in a public place.

They already covered that joke in episode 1 of the show.
