It just needs several pieces of some type of bread: sliced bread (white, wheat, rye, 12-grain, etc.), hot dog or hamburger buns, or even tortillas or pita would all work.

@djls45 No, it needs the bologna taken out and burned to ashes, to be replaced by (at the very least) Spam.

@da-Doctah @djls45 Why are we discussing how to "improve" that monstrosity?

@djls45 It needs to be put in a heavy canvas sack along with a brick and used to beat the inventor over the head until death.

I like bologna, mayo, and mustard sandwiches. Add in a few dill pickles for some delectable crunch, and you have, IMO, a pretty good lunch.
If you happened to have a "cake" like that, though, my sandwich would only need a narrow slice cut off and laid sideways to fit onto the bread.

Right?

Yeah. There's a chance they may cancel each other out.

This post was liked by @Tsaukpaetra but I have a feeling he has no idea what I am talking about in it.
I'm pretty sure he uses upvotes as a way of marking posts as read. (It actually might be relatively clever, because upvotes are preserved when posts are jeffed to different threads.)
Uhoh, someone else is catching on to my methods! I better find another way, lest it spreads the madness!

I forgot the acronym for GFCI outlets for a second and my mind filled it in with DHCP for some reason.
DHCP wall outlets sound like a pretty bad idea.

@Tsaukpaetra four adaptors?
wild guess, by vague form factor: usb -> ps2 -> serial -> paralel -> ??

??
Gender changer, because that type of serial-serial converter has the pins in the wrong place to connect to the parallel port directly.

I'm prety sure that type of ps2/usb converter only works with the mouse (or maybe keyboard) it ships with.

FWIW: in my experience most - but not all - ps2-usb converters work with any standard usb mouse.

Only because the mouse itself can talk both protocols, not because of anything the adapter does. It's literally just four wives inside those things connecting the pins.

Most, sure. All, definitely not. Wikipedia says 58 countries have some form of legal recognition of polygamy.

Where do you get 3? The Qur'an allows 4:
And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. [1]

I have this weird thing that when selecting numbers they should be even or divisible by 5. So in my mind 4 makes more sense than 3.

I subbed at a school where classes started at weird times like
11:12 AM
. Basically none of them were on an hour, half-hour, or even quarter-hour. Or heck, even on aXX:X5
orXX:X0
time. It almost drove me insane.

"Because we timed a walk between the furthest corners of campus, and that only took two minutes, so we're giving you one extra minute for traffic."
Every single class, except for the first one, started on a weird minute.

Yeah, that's obnoxious. And a good way to get people needing to use the bathroom between classes. And heaven help you if one teacher is a few seconds late letting out. Plus the weird schedule thing.

In their (very slight) defense: between periods 2 and 3 was a 10-minute break. So that (mostly) covers the bathroom, aside from the fact that everyone had that same ten minutes to use the restroom. And you're right, it was absolutely no help against teachers letting you out late – but from what I recall, students were much more pushy about getting out the door in time once they made that change, and teachers were less insistent on keeping classes late. It wouldn't surprise me if the administration leaned on the teachers to stop keeping classes late, and the teachers had at least a little empathy for the students.
