Yeah, George Lucas didn't think that one through (surprise surprise). So now the official explanation is the explosion accidentally sent most of the debris into hyperspace somehow.
-
I'd much rather have the official explanation be "You're thinking too hard, it's a movie, get over it."

It just means it's windy and rainy, which is pretty normal for the UK north-west.But of course, the media has to sensationalise everything, so it's a WEATHERBOMB!

Although I find this funny (in a "never heard that one before</sarcasm>" kind of way), I also find it disturbing — my daughter is an art major.

How the hell do those things work?? I put it in:

I Googled "markdown spoiler syntax". Discoursistency of course means that does fuckall, even though the <> tagging did not display, it did nothing.

lame, that didn't work

Tell me about it. Actually, don't bother; I already know. It doesn't exactly help that she picked an expensive private school to go to, either. Which reminds me, the first payment on my Parent Plus loan is due.

Yeah, I know. I have hidden random hidden comments in my posts before. Mostly just anti-semitic stuff akin to a drunken Mel Gibson rant.

Only created as topics in a separate category because I couldn't figure out how to (and subsequently found out that you can't actually) link to the middle of a post using anchors when I started a proper 'single page' FAQ.
-
It's also worth noting that highlighting spoiled text (but not pictures) will also remove the spoiler, at least on Chrome. I discovered this back when some people were posting stuff that was dangerous (browser-breaking) to click on. @PJH should probably add that to the FAQ.

I don't know exactly where to put this, it could also fit in the Bad Ideas thread, but here is a conversation that I had earlier today in a client meeting:
(in the middle of the meeting, one of the female doctors comes in to drop off a file)
Me: "Hi Dr. Smith, how are you?"
Dr.: sigh "I am OK" (more niceties, but the conversation is obviously forced and I notice something in the middle of it)After she leaves:
Client: "I don't know what her fucking problem is, but she has been moody all week!"
Me: "...Well...she is not wearing her wedding ring anymore, so you might want to cut her a bit of slack as she might be going through a rough spot."long pause
Client: "Well, now I feel like a dick. pause How do you notice things like that? I have known you for years and you seem to always notice every detail in any situation."
Me: "Well, that is part of the reason why you use my services...and also it was noticing that an attractive woman is not wearing her wedding ring...old habits die hard."

Hmmm, probably too lazy to escape it.
Considering the amount of work needed to properly escape something on Discourse, that’s not too surprising...
-
Hmmm, probably too lazy to escape it.
Nah, given that I'd already been escaping stuff, I just got a little carried away while I had the backslash on my mind.
-
Random funny fact: in the German translation of the Harry Potter books, the card game exploding snap was translated as exploding Snape.

You weren't prepared for this backslash backlash?

500 page executive summary‽
-
At what point did you ever expect her to be in touch with reality?
-
Never. I wonder if she was actually typing all that stuff. Apparently she was trolling Brennan (CIA director) on twitter today when he was giving a press conference:
-
She doesn't even reside in the same universe as reality.
-
I have read novels shorter than that summary...
-
According to some random dude on answers.yahoo.com, an average paperback novel is about 350-400 pages. If true, most novels are shorter than that "executive summary."
-
Paperback books are generally much smaller than printer paper, so average novels are significantly shorter than the summary.
-
You're right. According to that same page, about two pages of a paperback (?) book fit on a letter-sized page, so that "summary" is equivalent to about a 1000 page novel.
-
Depends on text size, too. Seems like paperbacks have smaller text than typical documents. But I don't think there's anything typical about a 6K+ page document with over 38,000 footnotes.

The footnote-to-page ratio is down on a lot of academic stuff, though the overall page count is higher.

I lost all respect for her when I found out she has a Concealed Weapon Permit and was still dumb enough to sweep the entire committee with the muzzle while her finger was on the trigger while trying to show why the AR-15 is evil. Yep, evil in her hands, that's for sure...

Who the hell gave her that?!

California is a "May-Issue" (really a "Probably Won't Issue") state which means unless you're someone famous and powerful, your application for a permit is most likely going to be denied.
-
Who the hell gave her that?!
more importantly who is going to take it away?
(although if you can conceal an AR15 about your person i'm going to be impressed as i run screaming away from you)

There are actually AR-15 pistols but they're complicated, if you accidentally put the wrong cosmetic attachment on it it becomes a Short-Barreled-Rifle which is heavily regulated and illegal unless you've done all the money and paperwork.

.... but doesn't the AR in AR-15 stand for "Assault Rifle"?
as in these things are big metal killing machines?
-

Looks like she surrendered it. She hasn't had one for at least two years, AFAICT:
-

Not sure if trolling or not...in case not, AR stands for ArmaLite who originally designed the AR-15 back in the 1950's. The AR-5 was a double-barrel firearm with a .22 Hornet rifle barrel and a .410 shotgun barrel, the AR-7 is a .22 LR, the AR-50 is a single-shot rifle. None of those could be called an assault rifle.
