🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD

I like the way he's wearing a facemask like it'll be of any use whatsoever in the inevitable backfiring of that contraption.
-
That's not a paradox, that's just market oversaturation
That's what B meant with the Fox Butterfield crack. He's the guy who noted that crime is down but the prison population is up. It's a mystery...to anyone who can't see that that's because the criminals are being locked away.
-
Well, the position of his facemask reminds me of my pupils which I always have to remind that the lab glasses are supposed to go in front of their eyes. And not like not-so-stylish sun glasses over their hair.
Maybe next year I'll build a small Gauss cannon and demonstrate what a small splinter can do to an olive.

Speaking of safety goggles -- I have a pair, but when I try to wear them while soldering, they just fog right up...
mumble mumble arrrggghhh stop it I thought you were supposed to be fog proof vented ones

They might work better if you opened the vents

These don't seem to have such a facility...

A utility that randomly swaps all the variable names in your codebase.

Bad idea: mobility scooter road-rage against the elevator.

How do you sit down in those?

How do you sit down in those?
why would that be a concern?
I for one would not let those within thirty meters of me under any circumstances.
Not even if i was dead at the time
-
I'm an engineer.
I have no sense of fashion whatsoever, only function. Perhaps rats are/were fashionable?Though underwear that literally bites you in the lower back when you sit down seems, shall we say undesirable?
-
There's a rat in my britches what am I gonna do?
-
Perhaps rats are/were fashionable?
I'm pretty sure that's a "no." If it were something other than a rat, like a mink, chinchilla or fox, it would still be weird to make underwear out of it, but rat is not, and I'm pretty sure has never been, fashionable.
-
Very carefully
-
Perhaps rats are/were fashionable?
Madonna's or Cher's (monogram?) or Lady Gaga's next stage costume?
-
Madonna's or Cher's (monogram?)
The monogram is that of Coco Chanel; I have no idea whether it is legitimate or counterfeit.

He died.

Sure this has been posted at least once before on here, but still:

The worst part is, the second time he rams against the door, the right half clearly swings open. So it's not like it was a surprise that it was about to break completely. Did he somehow miss that or did he just not care? I guess we'll never know.

Livecoding.tv is a livestreaming platform where people code products, live.
We connect people around the programming languages that they love.welcome to the programmer zoo. we have lots of interesting specimens like the pack of COBOL coders on your right!
or the almost extint smalltalkers!fun for the family!

>where people code products, live
I can't imagine anything duller than watching someone code.

170,000 people could come to an event that proudly proclaims itself meat- and fish-free. Wouldn’t it be great for Glastonbury to be able to say ‘no animals were harmed during the making of this festival?’
-- George Moonbat pontificating again.
In totally unrelated news, Glastonbury is held on a farm that rears animals for human consumption.
-
Watching hololens videos where they refuse to code...

George Moonbat
Oh, we've still got him to kick around? I thought he'd dropped off the face of the planet with people like Fox Butterfield and ... who's that guy who got beat up by Muslims in Pakistan or somewhere and then said in their shoes he'd probably have done the same thing?
-
Oh, we've still got him to kick around?
He never went away - he's a regular columnist in the Grauniad.
-
Grauniad
So I'm not the only one who remembers that. I stopped using it because I to explain every time I did
-
he's a regular columnist in the Grauniad
Sometimes he's OK. Sometimes he takes leave of common sense. He writes reasonably though; better than a lot of people I've had the misfortune to read.
-
-
yes, but who do you know that reads the Private Eye, or even watches Have I got News For You? (I'm asking the wrong,
selectelite demographic group here, aren't I?)
-
I only read the Eye when someone accidentally leaves a copy behind on the train (so “hardly ever”) and I gave up watching TV because too many of the programmes were aimed at an audience with a room temperature IQ.
-
yes, but who do you know that reads the Private Eye,
A few people who get mine second hand. Plus more people who are aware that it exists but are disinclined to read it. But those are people I know offline - on here I've no idea.
or even watches Have I got News For You?
That definitely went downhill after 2002.
-
Yes, the Guest Chairman sometimes works, Mr Clarkson is one to look forward to. But I like the ones where one of the guests is featured in the news. For exactly the "reasons" given for the former permanent chair persons resignation.
-
Yes, the Guest Chairman sometimes works,
Sometimes. And when it doesn't, it's unintentionally funny.
[Widdecombe] was the guest host of news quiz Have I Got News for You twice, in 2006 and 2007. Following her second appearance, Widdecombe vowed she would never appear on the show again because of comments made by panellist Jimmy Carr. She wrote, "His idea of wit is a barrage of filth and the sort of humour most men grow out of in their teens.... [T]here's no amount of money for which I would go through those two recording hours again. At one stage I nearly walked out."
-

I'm not surprised per se, it's just I haven't heard his name mentioned in years.
-

I see Grauniad used quite a bit on several British blogs I read and from British commenters in other places. I know I've used that myself a few times.

Fuck. I'd be down there yelling at all the people if they stole my kid's lunch.

In other words, just another Wednesday.

Nanny nanny nanny, nanny staaaate!
But then, it was the Daily Mail.
But, seriously. Yet another example of so called Professionals given precedence over how we run our lives, and making judgement calls on our character that then become Officially valid. And if you knew my personal circumstances, you would know just how much that bites.
Nb. Just in case my "street patois" is a bit dated: Bites = Hurts / angers etc

Those stupid laundry icons

And then they'd have to deal with folks like me who'd, given the chance, send the school cafeteria vegetables back to the kitchen with orders to not murder the replacements.

... and he cites his shit. That's refreshing, especially since what he writes are opinion pieces instead of (supposed to be) objective journalistic articles.
