The only meaning of "slag" with which I'm familiar has to do with smelting metal.
I think they called the aliens in Alien Nation that, too.

Huh? That's weird.
It's on by default if the phone meets certain requirements and the phone manufacturer enables it. A lot of them don't bother.
@CoyneTheDup It appears to be snowing inside this cave, too. I looked all over for a hole in the roof and didn't see one.

if you live in a neighborhood without at least one batshit crazy neighbor...you are that neighbor.
Certain neighborhoods might have more than one, so you could still be that neighbor even if you have one!
@Karla said in The Official Pokèmon Go Thread:
My phone battery overheats, so I've bought extra batteries so I can swap them out (plus external charges).
I did that yesterday, brought two batteries with me. This was my 3-mile walk:
I marked the pokestops in blue. The four clustered together in the NE of the park are constantly lured. You'll see people sitting there for an hour or more at a time--if you're in the right spot you can hit all four stops without moving.

this huge hole in the top of the cave
And they bent in an s-curve to get there?

I hate people who insist at reviewing a computer-processed file in Excel and then complaining about leading zeroes being missing. They're not! Excel is lying to you!

2 hours to get back to productivity because of Windows Updates
Trade your 486 in for a modern computer!
@Lorne-Kates Nope--it's a Jack FM station, so no DJs.
This house is in a cave. Do you think they carted in snow to put on the roof for atmosphere?
@Yamikuronue said in stop polluting people's pointless spam threads:
I like that threads I'm ignoring show up in recent, because I use unread as my primary view, and I like having a way to go back to a thread I ignored if I change my mind. Otherwise I have to find it in the category structure and that sucks.
You could always bookmark threads you've ignored.

tying it up for two hours while we install updates afterwards
Maybe stop buying 486s.

a radio blaring out the same fucking five songs every hour.
Ugh. There's a local station here that used to do that, and last year, finally, they changed to a "no-repeat workday" format.
Before that it was like "I'm in the car 8 minutes, 4 times a day. How come I hear the same song on every damn trip?"
@Karla said in The Official Pokèmon Go Thread:
At home, we are second floor above a gym. Even then GPS often tells me I am too far away. Which is frustrating when I want to battle.
Somebody beat one of the gyms near us, and put a CP 10 Krabby or something on it. Behind it were a couple of CP 1400 others, though.
@Karla I just took a 2.4 mile walk around a local park--there's 4 pokestops right on top of each other, and 7-8 more in a half-mile or less radius. The clustered ones have lure modules on them most of the time. 7PM on a Wednesday, and there's 30-40 people just sitting, talking, and catching a couple of pokemon a minute. Great way to pump the hell out of a weedle or caterpie by collecting a dozen and grinding 'em into candy. :)
I caught a CP 403 Tauros and like 4 Bulbasaurs. Plus 40-50 more, heh. Finally hatched the first 5km egg--a doduo. I have 1.6km on two more, a 2 and 5km--I picked up a 3-use incubator somewhere. 1.5km on ~1.5mi walking isn't a very good rate, though.
Frickin' game's not recording (most of) my steps, which is really cramping my egg's style.

an almost full-page dialog that covers the original page with the article contents
OH, like USA Today and a bunch of local sites? That's really obnoxious.
@OffByOne Great, now Chrome's got the FF brain rot of "we're taking away behavior that was standard for 20 years because of shithead stupid young modern devs, and hopefully someone will write you an extension that will sort of fix the functionality."
"hunt for a small back button?" Really? Mine's a double-sized key, and as a touch-typist I know exactly where it is.
@Tsaukpaetra I think that indicates a registry fuckup or something. It's annoying to fix.
@ScholRLEA an anti-pope, maybe. Go follow @Maciejasjmj[1]'s link.
[1] who I wonder if he'd heard about that before, or just googled it when I said it (or possibly he said it first and the posts streamed in wrong for me, but I CBA to go back and look.)

I don't know what those words mean in that order, but if @blakeyrat hadn't abandoned forum, he'd probably insult @ben_lubar about it.

I actually haven't read anything of his yet, other than the first page of I don't remember which book, on Amazon.
@Tsaukpaetra I CBA to randomly F5 to pick up current avatars, though.

don't do that, either, unless you make sure to leave plenty of room between you and the truck, unless you want to wind up with the truck in your back seat.
