  • A number, but they're mostly posting bots and people who are prolific gay porn posters (or other porn that I don't want to see).

  • I really had it in my head that he was Canadian, so didn't think I needed to. Thanks for the correction.

    Not sure who I'm confusing him with.

  • Isn't he Canadian?

  • I'm not where I can get to a computer, but as I recall you can do this with a line graph by opening the formatting option on the X axis and setting it to be a date.

  • My parents' cabinet (console) didn't even have the cassette tape unit, just turntable and reel-to-reel.

  • When I was little, there was a cartoon called Marine Boy, and he had chewing gum that let him breathe under water. I always wanted that.

  • I prefer a softer bun for something like a burger. Too hard to bite through the bagel without smashing what's inside it.

  • Maybe it depends on where? I've lived here all my life and the water quality has always been excellent. But my understanding is that, because the county is so huge, different parts get their water from different sources. So maybe I'm just fortunate to live in an area that's good.

  • Not true - I live in LA county and the water where I am is excellent - pretty much no benefit from filtering.

  • Yep, same thing

  • That was actually the context of when she said it - she read the bugs bunny comic books (which I didn't know existed) and said that character's name.

  • I knew a girl who was raised in a small town in the middle of nowhere, without TV or movies, but she read a lot. She had so many things like that. Yosemite rhymed with hose-mite.

  • You're joking, right? Under what standard are words in American English pronounced incorrectly? I mean, let's just take this example:

  • They say it that way because in the US that's how it's pronounced. The argument that it's pronounced differently in other countries, so the US way is wrong, is stupid. Even within a language/country, there are regional dialects.

    I grew up in the US, but my dad was from England. There were lots of times I said a word the way I had always heard my dad say it, only to have people correct my mispronunciation. The one that pops into my head was capillaries (the little blood vessels). My dad always said ca-PILL-ah-rees, not CA-puh-lar-rees. Neither is wrong, it's just pronounced differently here and there.

  • I would personally like to see more support from other countries, just like I hope I would stand up for my invaded neighbor in my hypothetical scenario. I would not reward Putin in any way or he'll just do it again with another country.

  • The salient part of my analogy is that his "investment" is in being completely in the wrong by every measure. No one should support him continuing on the path he's been on.

  • It's the logic of what I replied to that doesn't make sense to me.

  • So was it a government (state or federal) water treatment plant? If so, I can tell you how it happened. The government contracting agencies have boilerplate text they're supposed to add to contracts to make sure salient requirements get flowed. They're supposed to delete or tailor anything that doesn't make sense, but the contracts people aren't usually very technical. We had requirements flowed to us about password management and account monitoring, but no one logs into a rocket engine or a torpedo. When we'd point it out, they'd say "oops, we should have deleted that."
