@djls45 By that logic, if IMDB rates a movie 0 out of 10 you consider it "average"

RE: Dates are hard... and may lead to tax fraud?
@Gurth said in Dates are hard... and may lead to tax fraud?:
@Bim-Zively There are plenty more but it seems a lot of countries do their best to avoid the (equivalent of the) word “tax” in the relevant service’s name.
Ours has a very apt acronym

RE: WTF Bites
I remember distinctly when a teacher once did roll call by reading "surname, first name" from the attendance sheet for everyone. And he, hearing his surname called before his first name, automatically corrected the teacher.

RE: WTF Bites
On a related note, our team had a team lunch at a restaurant a month or two ago, where we saw each other for the first time in a year. Across from us they put together a few tables for a group of about 30 people. There were exactly 2 females at that table, and the others all looked like stereotypical programmers, so we assumed it was some IT company having a company lunch. One of the females at our table immediately said, probably correctly, that the 2 females were likely the Project Managers of the company.

ISPs are also fans of "starting at".
Not round here they're not. Otherwise they'd actually be held accountable for their advertising.
Where I live it is usually used with reference to the price and not the speed

RE: King Troll
@RaceProUK said in King Troll:
Well this is just, uh... a word no one can use anymore. The makers of Candy Crush Saga, who have famously pursued trademarks for the words Candy and Saga in the past, are stepping it up once again by registering a trademark for the word SUPER in video games.
This is going to end well.And then the murders began. -
Theatre WTF
I would be interested to know what exactly happened here.
Me, my wife and my parents-in-law went to watch a show at a theatre last Sunday (4 people). Just before the show began 4 other people came to us and asked if we were sitting in the correct place, as their tickets showed exactly the same seats as ours.We said yes, and they called the theatre manager to help resolve the situation. Note that all tickets are booked online. I wasn't involved in the resolution of it all, but some point during the process they asked my father-in-law for both his name and surname. I actually overheard the manager say "weird, they both have exactly the same name and surname".

I think it was around 1972 that Lester (partner of ventriloquist Willie Lester) said he liked to go bowling so he could watch that black ball knock down all those white pins.
He should probably stay away from pool then.

Guys, I'm disappointed. All of these solutions are pretty low-tech.
I was expecting something more like "befriend IT by buying them a bottle of their favorite alcoholic beverage, get them to give you R/W access to the underlying database, simulate a badge read while lying in your bed at home".

My main reason for getting this, rather than say going to the dollar store, was to put my order total above the $35 free shipping threshold
At our biggest online shop, you can add a digital gift card to your order to get you above the threshold. It works.

RE: WTF Bites
Everybody should learn Afrikaans. It does away with everything you are all complaining about:
- No gendered words.
- Does not conjugate differently depending on the subject. Everything is "is":
- "Ons is": We are
- "Ek is": I am
- "Hy is": He is
- Only 3 tenses: past, present and future. No "perfect past" or "simple past", only "past".
The only difficult part is the double negative.

Depends on what part of him you're talking about. If it involves certain parts of his anatomy, then yes, there's a lot he's not "into".

@sweaty_gammon said in WTF Bites:
@Lorne-Kates I am sure we can all cherry pick badly written code to straw-man someone else.
If you think any of the above sql statements are badly written (pseudocode aside), then you're the WTF.
This one reeks:
select list.*, cnt.cnt as [Count] from (select id from object) as list LEFT OUTER JOIN (select id, count(id) as cnt FROM other_object GROUP BY id) as cnt on list.id = cnt.id
Why can't you just write:
select list.id, count(id) as [Count] from object as list LEFT OUTER JOIN other_object as cnt on list.id = cnt.id GROUP BY list.id

Late likes are one thing (I like),
Yeah, I'm vain enough to want to be validated by people liking my posts (e.g., maybe I posted a joke I thought was really funny; did other people think so, too?).
likes to keep track of where the liker is, not so much.
I'd like to know if @Tsaukpaetra liked my joke, but just knowing he read it not so interesting. Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish between the two.
I have an idea for @Tsaukpaetra. Instead of using upvotes to keep track of posts, use downvotes instead. Now you can distinguish between posts you read and posts you liked.
