In the UK, 'normal' is about 4%. But then 'normal' is the pisswater passed off as lager; I'm drinking Guinness West Indies Porter.
Is nice

The more the things are different, the more they are the same I guess. I wouldn't be caught dead drinking the popular local stuff here either.
Well, maybe dead drunk. But I'm apparently one of those weird drunks, where my cognitive capabilities stay unaffected. It's just the other stuff that gets damaged. Like the ability to walk in a straight line
-
Well, maybe dead drunk
If I want to get to that state, I just break out this stuff:
Speaking of which, I have two half-litre bottles in the fridge⦠no, I'll be a good girl and stick to the porter
-
I was about to say the inspector but...
I can't seem to be able to get it to show me which font it's using on anything below paragraph level. Which won't really help
-
How do I find that out?
It's really hard in general, as it depends on what the font rendering engine has decided to substitute. Sometimes that's predictable. Mostly not. (The application probably doesn't know; it knows what it asked the font engine to use⦠but that's about it.)
-
Pointlessly doing Monte Carlo simulations with a calculator.
-
Well, there's a Unicode character for that: π
WTF! When I cut-n-paste that into a terminal, it generates a 4-byte UTF-8 sequence. Which is not minimal; the leading byte (of a 4-byte sequence) should never be 0xF0, as that means that there's an equivalent shorter encoding of the same thing. But I don't know where the fail is located. The terminal I was using? The OS? The browser? Discourse? The input data?
-
gnome-terminal
handles it like a single unknown character here.
-
Is there a badge for breaking @dkf's terminal?

Status: Going to get the second bottle of the same 6% beer
Status: Drank that second bottle a lot quicker than the firstβ¦

now to a third one!
-
Is there a badge for breaking @dkf's terminal?
That would be that it doesn't render. Big fat deal. The WTF was that it's denormalized; a bit more technical, and a bit more serious. :)

Status: Still too full of roast chicken (and a reasonable retsina) to be thinking of joining @RaceProUK in the consumption of beerβ¦

Didn't see this one before. I'd buy 2 x 8 gb RAM instead of 4 x 4 (presuming motherboard has 4 slots). You take a slight performance hit, but ensure the most likely upgrade you might need (more ram) is an option.
-
yesterday: three pints of barley wine. from a local brewery.
today we'll see. it's too early here to be drunk.
-
I don't know if I could have made it if I didn't know any better, but there's no way I could convert to Judaism or Islam
PORK
Oh, man, I love pork. So many wonderful ways to eat it.

Status: Wanted to watch my favourite movie. Can't find a single fucking mini USB cable anywhere to connect the drive it's on to my computer.
-
-
Let's make it a bit of a trivia question then, to tickle the nerd knowledge center of anyone reading:
It stars Brian Blessed and Timothy Dalton, and the soundtrack was made by Queen.
I am now listening to the theme song as consolation. Fucking USB cables, I had dozens of them *keeps mumbling while rummaging through drawers*
-
-
Hmm, without going to imdb, Flash Gordon?
-
And the nerds did not disappoint
Yes, it's Flash Gordon. It's silly, it's cheesy as all hell and the effects and the acting are, mostly, terrible. But it can always put me in a good mood.
-
To be fair, you made it more obvious than a twenty-foot sign saying 'This is obvious'
-
Well the point was to be guessable enough without Google / IMDB.
Also, you have to realize that most people I mention it to (IRL) have no idea what I'm talking about. I know it's really not that obscure in the grand scheme of things, but I always have this idea in my head that I'm one of the few people that actually watched the thing, let alone liked it :P
-
Yeah, well this says otherwise:

Status: Mowed the lawn for the first time this year. Only got the front done. I don't really feel like doing the back; it's like 4 times the size, and the grass is a lot longer. Maybe tomorrow.

Status: WHY DOES THE LIKE LIMIT APPLY TO PM'Sβ½β½β½
Apostrophe is necessary hereβ¦

Apostrophe is necessary hereβ¦
Is it?
No, I'm honestly asking. Because I see it used a lot in places where my intuition (and limited education) tells me there shouldn't be one. I am confuse.

If I left it out, then I'd be ranting about the limit on PMS
Also,

PMS is rate limited to once a month.
-

Ah. Fair enough. Carry on then.
Also,
Really? I was trying to edumacate myself! You just want me to get more badges so you don't hold the second place, don't you?
Also, yes, I'm rankled due to Flash deficiency.
-
To be fair, I'm likely to hit 5 whoosh badgers before you hit 4
-
i had a girlfriend without that limit. ranging from two to zero a month.
you know the saying about interesting times?
-
Ever heard of capitalization?
PMs vs PMS.
PM'S is plain wrong in my eyes, but not good enough for spoon-chasing.

β¦I'm drunk right now? shrug
It's ok, I already wrecked my non-existing reputation while sober by admitting my love for utterly dumb movies, at least you can use the drunk card. You can join me in the hall of shame if you'd like. We could pass the time by polishing our woosh badges...

Status: Me: "This milk tastes funny, must be a little bit expired."
Me: "Meh." *chugs*

I never thought about this before... They just found Earth, why is this light labeled "Earth quake"?
This is the worst movie ever!
And I need more popcorn, brb.
