We haven't gotten to 3:1 yet have we?
No, these days the movie industry is trolling us with ever more remakes.

I am curiously reminded of a certain website revamp. The bold colours. The misuse of space on the page. Navigation/fluff taking more space than actual content.
Isn't that what porn is all about - shoving things in between other things (especially if it's gay porn)?
Which means for even marginally competent people like me, it's still a win because I continue to outpace those around me until the point where I am revered as a god. A GOD.
@boomzilla the part you’re getting at isn’t related to behavioural advertising specifically though, that’s a function of all advertising.
I believe the quote you're looking for there is "I don't give a tuppenny fuck about your moral conundrum, you meat-headed shit-sack"... too much?
Sorry to disappoint you but I didn't get back to your thesaurus rant until after I'd posted here.
Damn. I should have made some pogo joke instead of yo-yo.

Just pump them through the transporter to fix them.
And then you have the ship's doctor who uses the transporter pattern buffer to store his terminally-ill daughter until he can figure out a cure.
That at least makes sense: there isn’t a pattern of her pre-illness to compare and base a fix on, if I remember correctly.
Just to answer the open sores DB tools point, if the DB is GPL, the connector library is also going to be GPL. The GPL loving people are all evil command line people.

@Mason_Wheeler that's only true of Linux hardware
You do know windows is more than just office?
You're right, they have Chredge now!
They also have Office-as-a-HTTP-API too.
@JBert doesn’t work in rightpondia. We’d say “1st of March” more likely.
@Bulb said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
@hungrier Actually it seems it's pronounced … it isn't pronounced at all, because it appears to be made up—neither Google nor Openstreet maps know anything of such place.
It is indeed made up but it serves the joke as originally intended.
The creator’s intent is to imply a Spoonerism on pronunciation. Imagine if the leading F and the first C were to switch places - the sort of thing Doc Spooner could get wrong - and the word that would produce.
@Gern_Blaanston this is another one, similar level of bizarre thinking though.

I know of 's food reputation, but how did you guys manage to screw up orange juice?
I don’t think it’s a problem as much as an taste buds problem. I imagine it would be less awful if I could smell it.

I don’t like either orange or lemon.
Get thee behind me satan!
Look, you try going through life without a sense of smell and tell me you enjoy drinking things that taste acrid and not that dissimilar to bile in colour and flavour (just, frequently, not core temperature)
@BernieTheBernie not in a PHP interpreter they can't (yet)

But then I’d be exposed to the ramblings of someone who I’d rather not.

@Tsaukpaetra not sure I understand the question?
@Zecc worth it for the punchline.
Reading the episode summary on Wikipedia suggests he may have had reservations but broadly thought the whole space thing was neat.
As for updates, I don’t bother with Netflix, not enough on there I actually want to watch to subscribe for the chance to maybe find other things.

@Arantor and what does John Malkovich think of all of this?
I have no idea, I don’t know enough Malkovich films to know which one you’re probably referring to…

@Tsaukpaetra yes and yes, though less in the latter.
I also got called a crayon-muncher on Twitter last week, that was interesting. Some people don't understand how the world works. (I mean, neither do I, but I do try to think about what I'm saying before I say it.)
What made then think you're in the army?
Nothing. That’s not a term for that over here anyway.
@BernieTheBernie MS has implied that in a near future this will be the norm.
@remi yes, I was just adding the other side of the fence because this group is reasonably anti-Apple…
@Kamil-Podlesak the official answer is that both are acceptable to the current dictionary. As for cream or jam first this depends where you are.
@Tsaukpaetra you’re hanging something off a user account in Entra?
@Gustav It's impossible to do GUI nicely without it. But it's possible.
My stepdad wrote an entire "paint program" in QBASIC (not even QuickBASIC) with mouse support (hooking into assembly). Also, not using the FUNCTIONS and SUBS that QBASIC has, because he doesn't like how QBASIC hides those so the entire thing is one very long, very globally scoped thing with GO SUBs everywhere.
@RaceProUK I'm sorry, you failed your TDWTF citizenship test, please hand in your membership card at the nearest opportunity.
The following answers were incorrect:
Pendantry is not misspelled. It is the approved form of pendantry, much as brillant is the approved spelling for Beanness.
You did not observe that the question was incorrectly worded, since only one of the answers was correct, the wording 'which of the following are correct' implying multiple answers is incorrect.
You didn't pick either MUMPS (previously voted by TDWTF as the worst of the worst) or PHP (which as any fule kno is simply the Personal Hell Pit)
In other news, NodeBB gets the numbering incorrect as these are replying to 3, 5 and 6 rather than 3, 4 and 6.
@Kamil-Podlesak sure, that’s absolutely a problem. PHP is very enthusiastic about this and it bugs the hell out of me because quite often what I actually want isn’t a class but a procedural function, but there’s no other convenient way to get to what I need.
PHP frequently goes to the level of producing classes full of static methods as a crutch for “I don’t want this every time, but I also don’t want to manually have to remember to include it and any of its implicit/logical dependencies, and its a procedural function where I’m not handling state so it shouldn’t be a class anyway”.
@HardwareGeek said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
That one gives me a but yes, same general scene.
@BernieTheBernie are motorcycles not considered motorised?
@Gustav “we’re getting better, honest” wasn’t entirely serious.
It’s in the same camp as a criminal going, “it weren’t me, honest”

@Arantor to be fair, it’s not one I disagree with.
No, but it does explain whether it’s about living comfortably or making a choice.

@dangeRuss just as teaching you're/your is hard, teaching colon/cologne is hard.
As long as your colon isn't hard I guess?
Except maybe to spell?
@dkf :blimp: isn’t a thing either. Nor :led: for that matter (though then the image text would be wrong)
Another example of Blakeyrat's Law.
And no, I don't think I missed the joke. Jeff and co generally believe that they're being all innovative with this Piece of Software, except failing to realise that every problem they're encountering has already been encountered and solved by multiple communities long before Discourse was a thing.

I think this was a - on the one hand, the squirt squirt part is the WD-40 because Mufasa is meant to be moving and isn’t. The rest… well, The Lion King is basically Hamlet courtesy of Disney.
@Jaime except when people do “clever” shit, in which case all sensible bets are off.
The theory’s good and it sounds like we here are all broadly in agreement which is somewhat unexpected (and as usual, it’s everyone else who are wrong)
@topspin yes but there’s no Stargate: Loki for him in that regard.
