That exists. And if CrazyEddie doesn't stock it, he needs to.
-
well, we could go with:
- 1 YottaTonne
or possibly:
- Novae
- SuperNovae (about 2×1030 Megatonnes of TNT, or about two hundred billion Yottatonnes)
- Super Massive Black Hole Inversion (otherwise known as make the milky way go away with a very big boom)
-
Big Crunch?
-
1 metric Fuckton.
-
certainly a veryt very very (as The Fifth Element would have it) Big Bada Booom.

1000 Fuckilograms

Rant: YouTube introduced a new feature (recommended videos autoplay) and for some weird reason they decided to use an iOS-style slider switch for it:
So naturally I try to grab it and slide it to the right... nope, it's still just a standard button. If you're going to use weird widgets the least you can do is make them behave the way they should.
-
That doesn't even look like a widget to me.
-
It kinda does in the same way a different colored spot in discurse is a buttony widget. But don't know if they are all the flat colored thingy or if there are real widgets on the page (contrast would make it less of one, but everything like that could work).
-
Stupid flat design.

Goddamnit. I really hate how FF hides the refresh / stop buttons in the address bar. TDEMSYR

Rant: what's with the humongous sizes of development tools? 630MB for the help? What's there, a video tutorial of how to use every function? You can fit an entire OS in that space.
I have fast internet, but for someone with a slow connection this could mean an entire day lost downloading stuff.
-
Maybe I'm a product of the new ways of visual design but I understood instantly that it's a widget it's meant to be clicked and not an actual slider.
What I actually found unacceptable is that it's incredibly hidden in the UI and the feature is on by default without even a warning that it was added, so I spent a minute or two digging through the (now practically barren) youtube user settings in an effort to deactivate something so fucking useless and annoying.
If I want to watch a series of videos I'd start watching a playlist. Who actually thinks I want to watch random videos that might have nothing to do with what I actually watched just now? (Just kidding, I know who -- their marketing department).

The fact that they placed it on by default is the worst part. I can get over that it is just a clickable toggle and not a slider widget, but having it on by default is a sin.

So the other night I went to the store to get some cereal and got pulled into a car by some masked thugs. They took me to their dungeon and gang-sodomized me for days on end (how does one get that kind of stamina?). They pierced my nipples and scrotum with rusty nails. They inserted objects of shocking size into my pee-hole. They stole all my wallet. I woke up in a dumpster bleeding from every orifice. I dragged myself home. My dog came running over to greet me and he got ran over by a drunk driver. The driver only stopped to laugh in my face and he smeared the gooey remains of my beloved golden retriever all over my face and then took off. When I got on my computer, I found that the thugs had stolen my identity and stolen my entire life savings and racked up debt in my name. Then a guy came to the door telling me I was going to be evicted. Then the police showed up and arrested me for murder (I had been framed by the thugs)...
...where was I... oh, yeah - they don't make that 3-part cereal anymore... what was it... rice, wheat and brown sugar? "3-bits"? Or something like that. I remember really liking it when I was a kid. Can't remember the name... anyway, just wanted to rant a little about that. I remember really liking it...

I have some retarded neighbors. They are shoveling snow into the middle of the street.

Fuck you fuzzy dates. Give me the goddamned time stamp.
Was looking at a ticket that just got thrown back at me by the tester. Hmm...that's odd...I want to look at the logs. The comment says "2 days ago." Wait...did she really work on Saturday? Fortunately, I had an email from Jira sent on Friday. This being Monday, that was 3 days ago. Fuck you, fuzzy dates.

fuzzy dates
If your packet of dates has gone fuzzy, throw them away and remember to eat the next lot sooner, before they go off.

Easter math. When someone gets crucified on Friday afternoon and is up and walking around first thing Sunday morning, and you say they were in the tomb for three days.

I've never watched the old stuff, but have we ever met a non-zombie Doctor?
-
I'm not an expert, but what I've read indicates that William Hartnell was the first incarnation of the Doctor, i.e., that he had not regenerated prior to that, although the original Doctor's past is rather mysterious. There is a novel (that I haven't read) that reveals that he was originally "the Other," and was disintegrated and rewoven into the Doctor by the Looms, whatever that means, but I don't know whether this is considered canon, nor whether that makes him a zombie to start.
-
The novels are generally not considered canon and the whole thing of the Other was part of the Cartmel Masterplan era where he was trying to set up the Doctor as God.
Officially Hartnell is the first incarnation, however there have been (even canonically) a few moments that suggest there were previous incarnations before that - most notably, during the mind battle with the Brain of Morbius.
But, ultimately, @boomzilla, to answer your question: yes, officially we did with Hartnell and everyone after that is a zombie Doctor. Though they don't consider it zombification.

-
They don't, no, they call it regeneration
The Sisterhood of Karn especially don't see it that way either.
-

Fair enough, but maybe somebody should tell the folks over at The Great Repository of Human Knowledge and Edit Wars that, because it simply states the Doctor's backstory was explored in such-and-such novel, without even mentioning whether this might not be Revealed Truth.

Did you check The Guide?

WTF car audio systems and their owners. I'm sitting in an office building with no windows open (and none that can be opened), building ventilation running, multiple computer fans running, people typing and moving around — a reasonably quiet office environment, but with a normal amount of background noise — probably at least 100 ft/30 m from the nearest road. I can hear the thumping of bass. I can just barely hear it, but I shouldn't be able to hear it at all; usually I don't even hear 777s taking off from Paine Field.
-
Sounds like it's coming from a sound system that costs anywhere from 3 to 10 times the cost of the car…
