If you didn't does that mean you were Doing It Right? Because that's what TDWTF would call Doing it Wrong. Or would it?

⇱I wrote a post today. It was this large⇲

I guess the post needed more time in the oven or something.
Probably. Discourse is half-baked.

I saw a big sign outside a church today that read "Why ask Google, when Jesus has all the answers?"
So I popped inside and asked which site has the best midget porn.

Is "Ask Jesus" an even less useful search engine than "Ask Jeeves"?

After having a bird shit in his mouth, Manchester United player Ashley Young has signed on to star in the sequel to a famous porn film.
The United themed scat fetish 'Two Birds, No Cup' will be online soon.

'Two Birds, No Cup'
I don't even know what that's supposed to be a take-off of. I think that's probably a good thing.
-
So you never heard of 2 Girls, 1 Cup? Lucky you.

Now that you mention it (I really didn't want you to), the name sounds very vaguely familiar, but I've never seen it and don't know anything about it. Based on this conversation, I get the very strong impression that learning anything further about it would be a Bad Idea™.

It's not Goatse-bad, but it is bad. Don't go looking.

I wasn't planning to.
-
It's just two girls eating chocolate ice-cream. What's the big deal?
-
It's not Goatse-bad, but it is bad.
It's very much Goatse-bad. Maybe not Tubgirl-bad.
Still, the reaction videos were kinda amusing back when it was a fad.
-
That depends on your definition of how bad Goatse is, doesn't it?
-
-
That took far too much brainpower to parse. Also, I disagree.

What starts with F, ends in C-K, contains a vowel, and always means excitement?

a FIRE TRUCK!

What is sad is how many people think that students actually get away with slipping things like that in yearbooks. No one would let something like that pass as it is obviously encoding something so they would look it up. The administration of every school is terrified of everything so they would double check it even if whatever teacher was looking things over decided to let them get away with it.

If the fungus was such a fungi, why wasn't the party at his place?

because there wasn't mushroom!

My senior year, the first print of the yearbook had the names for about half my class swapped around. This was our fault because on picture day we swapped the nametag cards around, but we only had a class of 34 and you'd think someone would realize the names were wrong before printing started.
I still have my old school ID card with my picture and someone else's name on it. We were the trial run and ID cards didn't go into use until the next year after we'd graduated so everyone had a good laugh at that one.
-
I had to look up half of the element symbols.
-
I had to think about it, wasn't sure about germanium or technetium off the top of my head though.
-
Ge should be well known; it's an alternate semiconductor substrate.
Tc is a bit less common, and always radioactive.

1 man 1 jar.
thank me later

"And now back to our regular programming".
I work with a language called Progress. After a while you kinda want to bite your tongue anytime anyone asks you if you're making Progress today. (Some wisacre actually wrote a book called "Making Good Progress."

Dammit, I'm a programmer not a chemist!

I seriously had to flip over my flash drive about 10 times this morning before it plugged in. That's a new record for me!
Does nobody actually know the bit about how the USB logo is the "top"? The vast majority of cables and devices put a USB logo on the plug end such that if you're looking at a standard A end, the logo's on the side without the PCB.
-
Also, I did manage to get it into the eSATA connector once. I guess the USB drive was old and beaten enough and the eSATA connector cheap enough for it to work.
eSATA connectors are, I thought, designed to double up as USB ports. That's how the few laptops I've seen with eSATA connectors are marked, anyway.

Neither of my flash drives have a USB logo on them, and my home PC with 4 front USB ports for some reason has two of the ports upside-down compared to the other two.

And then you get vertical slots.

-
Most devices no longer/never did have the USB logo on them, especially little things like flash drives.
-
Most USB ports are located in places where it's difficult to see the USB logo, like on the back.
-
Most hardware that still bothers to print the USB logo prints it black-on-black so it's nearly impossible to see.
-
Increasingly, laptops are becoming thin enough that there's no room for the USB logo to go "above" the port (if they bother putting one on it at all), and so it's beside or between the USB ports.

That's bizarre.
-

vertical slots in back, I think are supposed to be mounted so that "up" is away from the motherboard, but I don't have enough examples handy to see how widespread that is.

IME the label/logo on the drive serves the same purpose.
-

One of my flash drives actually has the manufacturer's label/logo on both sides.
-
I knew someone would say that. One is probably more prominent than the other.
-
Not really but I don't care enough to take pictures. Says "Patriot Memory" in large print on one side, and "XPorter Xpress 128 GB" in large print on the other side.

And then you have to know which side your motherboard is on.

This is when building your own rig comes in handy.

So the simple solution to grandma not being able to easily use a USB plug is to have her build her own computer from scratch, then hope that the motherboard maker followed a standard which may not even exist!

Yes!
Or just find a way to popularize a standard that would avoid the confusion about which direction the plug goes ...

A chemistry major i know assures me that this is the only chemistry pickup line that actually works:
Hey, does this smell like chloroform?

and he wonders why i never return his calls anymore.

well if Apple isn't a complete dick about the patent we may have a solution for those pesky USB devices soon...

I'm guessing that you're Calli Arcale from the front page.
-
nope. that's just the site that popped up when i googled reversable usb.
there's also USB C connectors, but i'll believe those get adoption when pigs fly.
i admit the name does sound similar, but this Accalia is no Calli (or Kali for that matter)
