@Tsaukpaetra Yeah well I spent 2+ hours today hanging a goddamned ceiling fan for my annoying parents while sick, then complained about it on Twitter, now my aspie brother I'm sure is going to tell my parents all about it when they see each other on the 4th. If he's not already composing a Facebook post reading, "nyah nyah nyah look what I saw on Twitter".

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Some script is stuck that applies to all tabs?
No, just the few tabs that were handled by the same process.
And I found the problem. Not all the tabs were as responsive as I thought. Specifically, TDWTF seemed responsive; I could read, navigate, even post. But apparently something was stuck, because a few less obvious things weren't working, like hover over
<abbr>
and up-vote counter. Even text select didn't work. (Does NodeBB hijack that? Bad NodeBB! Bad!) Close and reopen the TDWTF tab, and things appear to be back to normal.

@Tsaukpaetra Hey, thanks.

Each day individually, or just when you average them out?

Not that I know of. It does look at the selection when you click reply or quote, but I don't think it does anything nearly as terrible as what Discourse did with stealing clicks so it could pop up its reply button.

Oreos are overrated.

@cartman82 Hydrox-4-life!

@MathNerdCNU That looks like a cheap knockoff.

And apparently my brother somehow found me on Twitter, not realizing that the entire point of me posting on Twitter instead of Facebook is so my immediate family can't read the stuff I say. Boo.

Wait till he joins this forum, there will be juicier material to divulge in a family gathering! Wait! is he in IT? Happy 4th

He can be blakeymouse.

It's always the fucking Yugo. Just because that's the one commie car Americans have seen.
All the while, Soviets had a car made of fucking plastic, that animals would eat if you left it unattended.

They go from socialist countries to marry Trump in capitalist countries.

@dse Ivana know more about this.

@cartman82 Irony; Hydrox was the original and Oreo was the knock-off.
-
TIL
Blakeymouse's twitter is him just posting random words and hashtags every few hours.
-
@cartman82 said in The Official Status Thread:

Pretty much, yeah. If you don't like Oreos, you won't like Hydrox.
Edit:
@MathNerdCNU said in The Official Status Thread:Irony;
TIL. I'm not surprised; I even wondered if that might be the case, but today Oreo is much better known, so Hydrox seems like the knock-off.

The most baffling twitter feature:
If you click on the twitter icon, it scrolls like 2 pixels up.
WTF is up with that!?

A friend of mine won a Yugo in a poker game once. He says you could not use the headlights together with the windscreen wipers and the coupé heater, or the fuse blew. To keep the car in style he eventually replaced the fuse with the shell of a bullet.

fuse
Cars have fuses? My house doesn't even have fuses. They're like circuit breakers that physically destroy themselves instead of flipping a switch. Ew.

Use a language that has basic services like that built in.

10 fuses AND oτ fuses? That could get confusing.
Does it bother your OCD?

Nonsense! I was driving Yugo all the time when I was a teen and I don't remember having any issues. It was a fine car.
Hell, I had my first handjob in that Yugo! Well, it was my own hand, but still...

@cartman82 and who was the lucky chap?

Like PHP. Hell, if we can have JavaScript on the server, why the fuck can't we have PHP on the browser?
The sad part is that it would probably be less shitty if we did that.

@Arantor said in The Official Status Thread:

Because all you have to do is to persuade Google to put it in Chrome. Or write an implementation of PHP that compiles into JS…

@Arantor It's just like the chosen one predicted!

@coldandtired Atwood's Law is that anything which can be written in JS will be written in JS. This is nothing new.

I might just say fuck it, pop open the capsules, and mix them in her food. I know it's less potent that way, but... fuck it.

Status: Amazing jellypotato this morning. I'm getting jellypotatoed to entirely different threads. I was catching up on some older unread topics, specifically https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/20187/microsoft-bought-linkedin/66, when the window spazzed and suddenly I was looking at https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/20386/on-handling-complicated-document-formats/20. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a
