Groening was born on February 15, 1954 in Portland, Oregon, the middle of five children (older brother Mark and sister Patty were born in 1950 and 1952, while the younger sisters Lisa and Maggie in 1956 and 1958, respectively). His Norwegian American mother, Margaret Ruth (née Wiggum; March 23, 1919 – April 22, 2013), was once a teacher, and his German Canadian father, Homer Philip Groening (December 30, 1919 – March 15, 1996), was a filmmaker, advertiser, writer and cartoonist.

@r10pez10 That reminds me: last night, when driving home from work, my car offered to read me a text I received. I wasn't expecting it, but it was pretty cool
-
@timebandit You know perfectly well what I meant. He didn't invent a character with his brother's name, like he did all the rest of the relatives mentioned.
-
@carrievs Maybe he doesn't like his brother

@jaloopa I found a Mark that isn't a real person:

TIL there was an anime called Ghost Stories that did so poorly in Japan that, when it was licensed to America, the voice actors where given free rein to change the script. The only restrictions were not to change the characters' names and the way the demons were banished.
The end result was hilarious.

That in his exceptional, 14-seaon MLB career (1975-88), Yankee great Ron Guidry never once had a plate appearance in a regular season game. Yet ‘Gator’ scored four runs (he was a highly regarded pinch runner).

Today I figured out: rather than close <big> tags, you can just write a <small> tag, and vice-versa.

@raceprouk Odd. It doesn't do that for any other programming language (tried: c, c++, python, f, j, lisp). It does work for "[a-g]#" and just "recursion".

Photoshop? Paint? GIMP? Printing the page and modifying it on paper? A proxy to modify network data? A Chrome extension to change text? Editing the RAM with a magnetized needle? Exploiting one of the many Intel CPU backdoors to inject code to modify the data when it's fetched? A special font designed to render "F#" as "tail"?
...or just changing the text in the search box after the page loads?

Don't be ridiculous. Do you see a wooden table in that screen shot? I didn't think so.

You'll (usually) get the same size text, but you're still leaving unclosed tags, and I think NodeBB(?) only allows up to five of the same tag to be in one hierarchy chain.

@djls45 It's actually more that the CSS we have here caps the sizes when you nest more than five.
Like this:

Today I learned, and verified by myself, that 7zip can open both raw disk images and the file system images in them.
Pretty cool huh?

I don't see it listed there, but as I recall it works on DLLs too. Usually you can just try it on any file and it will either succeed or tell you it couldn't, and it may surprise you what it succeeds on.
