RE: The Fox Ideas Thread
@CoyneTheDup I saw a girl cosplaying at the park a couple days ago. She had fox ears and a tail, but moved away before I could get a picture, so here's a ninetales smoking a cigarette in an unconventional way.

wrap them around your back? Not sure if I should be freaked out or astonished.
Both, most likely.
Nobody tell @Polygeekery about this.

On other news today: WTDWTF participates in a personal hygiene study!
LOL.
I have these two huge Costco-sized packs of bars I bought...I dunno, more than a year ago.

RE: WTF Bites
Maybe it's just that I'm not as familiar with it, so I have difficulty judging how much it will spread.
I mean, a normal bar of soap will probably last a couple of months[1]. You don't need a lot.
[1] I guess? I don't think I've ever kept track.

Maybe. I want to become stable first.
Best option for that is practice.

scum on the sink
I think the idea is that you don't actually take much off the bar when you use it, because it foams up a lot. I mean, assuming you're not leaving it in a pool of water to dissolve.
Liquid soap seems to encourage you to use more than you need, too, like how ads for toothpaste show people using 4-5x what they actually need.

We can have an install party-- FF22 flying everywhere, on everyone.
You can even go do it down at that gay club in Australia, now that they fixed the lube.

RE: WTF Bites
@FrostCat @Maciejasjmj a quick google leads to this 3yo article:
First off, blah blah, for some reason liquid soap is worse for the environment, and also
During a recent price check at my local grocery store, I found that a typical 177-milliliter plastic (!!) bottle of liquid soap went for $2.69, while a 12-ounce three-bar pack of solid soap was $3.99. Those numbers translate into about 1.2 cents per gram of bar soap and 1.5 cents per gram of liquid soap. In other words, bar soap is the better bargain.
But it’s a lot worse than that because we use significantly more soap when it’s in liquid form as opposed to solid (see above). I estimate that washing up with bar soap will cost you 0.4 cents — less than half a penny — per wash while scrubbing with liquid soap will set you back 10 times as much or about 3.5 cents per wash.
The bottom line: not only is liquid soap a bad environmental bet, it’s a bad bet for your family budget.

@Maciejasjmj said in WTF Bites:
not really
Maybe not where you are. I don't know--I don't buy the stuff myself, but I've read some articles that say the unit cost for bar soap is a lot lower.

makeshift shampoo.
You can do that with bar soap, too. Heck, you can use it for shaving.

the kids need to get some independence.
Did you see the picture I posted in the Gilled Horse Chew thread? Fricking tiny little kiddy treehouse and it's covered in nets to keep the precious snowflakes from falling a foot or so. Seriously, it had nets outside the handrails!

RE: WTF Bites
Such authorities should probably stop being authorities and should be instead arrested for spreading false alarm.
They should also be forced to watch the "I'm going commando, too" episode of Friends, so they could get Chandler's relevant line: "It's soap. It's self-cleaning."

So I followed the link and got sent to a Microsoft website with no IE10 download
That's because you're supposed to use Windows Update.

RE: WTF Bites
the Date/Time settings window is actually disabled so you can't correct it manually.
That's been that way since at least XP! In 10, try right-clicking on the clock and choose "adjust date & time" and then toggle "set date & time automatically".

RE: WTF Bites
I can't use bar soap on my face. It would dry it out.
You tried glycerin-based stuff?

That's the second most-common guess. It's more like "T-saw-k-pay-truh".
After watching How I Met Your Mother I assume the ae is pronounced like Ted pronounces encyclopedia, i.e., pretentiously, "pay-eh-truh".

RE: The Official Funny Stuff Thread™
$70 + $35 for a laptop power adapter. Connects a PCIe x4 M.2 or regular 4x motherboard slot to let you use an external graphics card. About $1/3 the price of the Razer Core, and part of that difference is "no case". Interesting idea, though.

@Karla based on what Urban Dictionary says "cumberbun" means I assume you meant "cummerbund", the waistband thing on a tuxedo.

RE: Neighbors are TR:wtf:
@Polygeekery said in Neighbors are TR:
She got bitchy at her neighbor on the other side of her property because he mowed a little over the property line (who the fuck does that?? My neighbors could mow my entire lawn and I would be happy as could be.)
The last place I lived, my neighbor was one of those lawn-worshipping types. If I mowed the common section between our houses out front, it'd've probably annoyed him, because it would leave that section a different height from the rest of his lawn.
