A single sentence that precisely addresses at least one sentence in what it is replying to is better than a dissertation that does not.

RE: The nerdy jokes thread (bonus original title mode!)
Told my wife that I’m really getting into Beyonce.
She said, "Whatever floats your boat."
I said, "No, that’s buoyancy."

I wouldn't be too quick to judge. I do think that could restore sight to a blind man.

RE: The Official Funny Stuff Thread™
We had a George Harrison song recently in Song of the Day, so this seemed in the same spirit.
Sung to Beatles "Let it Be":
When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, oh, write in C.
LISP is dead and buried,
Write in C.I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.If you've just spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
Only wimps use BASIC.
Write in C.Write in C, write in C
Write in C, oh, write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it.
Write in C.{

This is not really news, but kind of in the same gist. He's a terrific guy though.
Ooh me too, I have Pokemon Go addiction
That's nothing; I have a TDWTF addiction.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Gern_Blaanston I asked privately, logically and nicely and that didn't work, so I'll reply to the post.
Not everyone here is at the same level. Some I have identified as being at the bottom, but I prefer not to tar everyone with the same brush until I know for sure.

@Gern_Blaanston I never realized they had those marks on their front legs. I was trying to figure out, "Is this a two-headed anteater?"

RE: You won't agree with me. And that's normal.
@Benjamin-Hall said in You won't agree with me. And that's normal.:
As it turns out, it's really really hard to get people to agree on even basic rules. This is something I've seen in lots of contexts.
D&D rules? Even the "clear" ones cause debate. Software requirements? No meeting of the minds. Forum rules? I'm in the right, he's over the line. Etc.
Some of the disagreement is legit. Most of the disagreement is that most people are morons, and, despite the instructions, people are unable to separate "Should X be allowed?" from "Is X a vehicle in the park?"
I only agreed with the majority 59% of the time. I suspect that I would agree with other programmers a higher percentage than that, because at least they have some ability to think about things analytically, even when it goes against common sense.

RE: Aviation Antipatterns Thread
@HardwareGeek I don't know what would happen in the case, though, where a witness gave testimony but died before the opposition had the opportunity to cross-examine.

RE: Aviation Antipatterns Thread
@izzion IANAL, but this seems like something the prosecutors would argue against, to say the least.

RE: Today in reading the headlines...
@DogsB TFA is paywalled for me. Did he say he didn't see it, or was it a suicide attempt?

RE: United Airlines: the airline we love to hate, but we can't agree on why
@Zerosquare A combination of HyunA's Bubble Pop and Rap could be interesting.
