@Zerosquare it was out of its original context, though said context definitely is in the room right now with us.

@Tsaukpaetra is sharing his lack of a sex life with us:
I'm just sad that I don't have a physical source that doesn't require money to access.
Though I suppose you could interpret it either way...

I could start sharing mine.

@DogsB I wonder how the connection to sexy glasses turns out.

Couldn't agree more with @Gern_Blaanston:
People really need to STFU

@Gurth has a dim view of the current state of UK housing:
Those look like new-built houses in the UK

Yeah .... but then .... this place wouldn't exist and I would have to do actual work .... so there's that.

@Gurth has a dim view of the current state of UK housing:
I have watched a fair number of British TV programmes about houses, so yes, you are exactly right. They’re mostly bland, even many modern ones have the waste water/sewage pipes on the outsides of the walls, they frequently have too few toilets but too many bathrooms, and people insist on putting asphalt up to the front wall.
-
@Gurth You might want to take a little time to explain why these are such heinous crimes against humanity.
-
@sebastian-galczynski doesn't believe in untagged tweets
We actually don't have unhashed X
Either that or he puts hashish in his ecstasy. I don't know drugs, but that sounds like mixing a downer and an upper.

- House walls are generally thick enough to put waste pipes inside — they have been since the invention of cavity walls at least. Though I would not be surprised if British pipes break often enough that you need good access to them.
- British home owners seem to regard a downstairs toilet as a luxury (“so guests won’t have to go upstairs” says it all, really), but en-suite bathrooms in at least some of the bedrooms as a must-have. I just don’t understand this: I consider a toilet on both inhabited floors of a house to be a much greater necessity than for everyone to have their own bathroom. Just the amount of extra cleaning you have to do with the latter speaks against it for me. Never mind that they even seem to install en-suites in houses where only one of the bedrooms is actually in regular use.
- Asphalt roads in a residential area already feels wrong, asphalt pavement even more so, let alone asphalt in a garden. (This said, I also very much don’t like the gardens full of paving slabs you see everywhere in the Netherlands.)
-
@Gurth I for example have my own waste pipes inside the walls but my upstairs neighbours have their waste pipe running down the wall outside.
Then again, when this house was built in 1851 things were a little different, as was the layout of this property in terms of how the three were connected.
Modern buildings have no fucking excuse, but then all modern buildings look like soulless rabbit hutches I'd never want to live in anyway.

@Arantor dabbles in chemistry of dubious legality as a sideline:

Why run them inside? Remember, the UK has a climate that is generally mild enough that waste pipes freezing aren't a big problem.

Don't look at me; I don't understand the eagerness for en suite bathrooms either. Maybe it makes sense if you live with people who take their time washing their hair every day.

I think I'll mark that as "@Gurth being weird". Asphalt is pretty good for residential areas; low maintenance and fairly cheap to install if you don't need a roadbed for heavy loads.

The Netherlands has a milder climate than the UK (you get the occasional blizzard every couple of years, the last one in this country was in the 1970s) yet nobody here would put anything except a drainpipe from the gutter on the outside of the wall.
Maybe it makes sense if you live with people who take their time washing their hair every day.
Yeah, that’s about the only semi-reasonable scenario I can come up with too — but even then: you can also just wait for each other to finish.

Not weird, cultural differences. Asphalt in this country is for roads that see a good deal of traffic — I can’t think of ever having seen a residential area with asphalt on the street, except when I was on holiday in the UK. Pretty much every street is paved with bricks in this country.

Cultural differences indeed, but I'd say asphalt (tarmac) is more common, because it's easier to lay down. Bricks/tiles look better, of course.
-
@Bulb said in Quotes Out of Context:

Because of their irregularity, bricks or tiles promote driving at slower speeds. You might claim the same effect on asphalt with potholes, but we don't design our roads for having potholes.
I also know some roads which are asphalt, but have had a brick pattern pressed into them for the same effect.

@PleegWat said in Quotes Out of Context:

Cultural differences, again.

: Your roads are designed? Ours just happen organically.

@error is about to RMA his brand new CGA video card:
There's no red in the picture.

@Zerosquare should there be some magenta though?
-
@izzion states the obvious:
professional fucking developers put out
Well, duh, how else do you imagine they'd professionally develop fucking?
-
Professional fucking developers? Isn't it just a simple:
while(!orgasm) { partner.vagina(penis); }
Substitute for other body parts/orifices/implements depending on preference.
-
@Atazhaia which of partner or penis is orgasm a property of? Because the answer to that for some people will otherwise be a very unhappy infinite loop.
-
@Atazhaia that sounds like a very naive understanding bound to lead to frustration.

I don't understand why you posted that here. It's true in all contexts.

@Arantor, dream on, buddy!
I wish more software worked

I'm sure I could imagine more if I wanted, but I just don't have the energy for it.

@Zecc said in Quotes Out of Context:
in a Garage thread but I can't be bothered to find the corresponding QooC thread
You should check that one guy's profile, I'm sure it must be in there

@hungrier That one guy's profile has a link to this thread. Hence why I posted here.
Filed under: next time maybe I should try
-
Sigh. I've made some changes. I hope that doesn't break anyone's workflow because I've had to make some cuts due to size restrictions.
I'll add a link to a github gist with the whole list of links once I actually write one.Good grief, that's a lot of hard work. I suppose I could create a thread we could even pin, but to do this unless we can wikify it so others can help
