@PJH The fuck is that abomination of a keyboard layout?
-
@Atazhaia QWERTY?
-
@GOG I meant more the non-alphanumeric keys. But looking at it closer it seems to be for a Chromebook or Android device which would explain some of it.

@PJH No capslock, no Windows key. What kind of Linux hardware is this?

@dkf How are you supposed to express disagreement? Hold down shift like some caveman?

After years of failure, Wile E. finally decided to switch brands...

@Mason_Wheeler wasn't there something in one of the MCU movies about someone stealing/borrowing Ironman suit and having a reeeeeeeally bad time?

Discovery of the fascinating things a soldering iron might do to plastic bits seems like the kind of thing one might do at that age.
When I was about that age my parents bought me a "wood burning" kit which uses something nearly identical to a soldering iron. I never did understand why I would want to burn designs into hunks of wood, but I quickly discovered the fun of melting various plastic pieces left over from the model cars I used to build.

Clearly you are not artistic enough to be a developer

@hungrier I'm too much into to press CAPS_LOCK

I had one of those. The burning tool came with an assortment of tips for burning different textures: a round spot, a cross, a chisel tip, etc. The burner and chisel tip actually kept getting borrowed by my (adult) cousin to use as a soldering iron.

The soldering iron I have doubles as a wood burning tool (it's a matter of switching out the tip).

@Luhmann Apparently: yes.
I haven't actually tried it, but I expect that at 40W or thereabouts, it should run hot enough to sear yer standard wood plank.

The neat thing about yank “spellings” is that you can use English words with impunity and no risk of naming conflicts, unlike all the occasions you want a generic and/or short-lived variable such as “list” or “string” but the standard types get in the way.

Turns out, they added the u, we didn't take it away.
So it's their own damn fault.

Wut? Wasn't the removal done single handedly by Noah Webster in 1786?

@Tsaukpaetra also, /r/thathappened on second to last post.

@Tsaukpaetra Back when I used to play Tomb Raider, it would occasionally cross my mind how strange it was to find first-aid kits at random places in the ventilation ducts on a huge Soviet submarine, or clips of Uzi ammo stashed in the corridors of a tomb that hasn't had a living person in it for 5000 years.

Funny, I've lately ran across a serious discussion whether
serialize
specialize
is a good keyword, because it differs in spelling between American and British. And someone mentioned often doingimport color as colour
(not sure how serious that was; it's hard to tell in typing).(update: duh, my brain must have been on a trip when I wrote it)

Thanks, I didn't put any effort into attribution, sorry Internet.

@da-Doctah Now I really want to try that art installation idea I had a few years ago.
- Take a box full of spent shotgun shell casings from the range.
- Fill in the dents in the primers, and place the casings in the box so that they look new.
- Gut a cheap rotating disco-ball for the motor unit.
- Attach motor to box with extra-thin fishing line, to get the floating and rotating in the air effect.
- Make a fake sewer-entrance some 2 feet in diameter. Paint the insides with 99% light-absorbent black (important for the illusion).
- Hang the motorized box in the sewer entrance.
- Hide LEDs around the edge of the entrance, so that the box gets illuminated from every angle. Having no shadows makes it extra magical.
- Install a grate, so that the hanging, rotating box is just out of reach.

Ironic.
