  • It could be coincidence, but there's an antiquated term for a mace or morningstar, bommyknocker. People on the web seem to attribute it to a children's book from the 90s, but I've found much older uses in the past, both in the UK and in Oceania. Similar to your name and not a very dissimilar tool.

    Edit: I guess it's obvious I skimmed your answer! You've already made the connection.

  • Continued the survival of the species, so now I have to sit in meetings and press buttons all day. Thanks for nothing, protopeople.

  • "You fell for a phishing scam and hadn't enabled two-factor authentication" is more likely, followed closely by "You used the same password for another service/platform that got compromised".

    Microsoft are being unhelpful here and deserve to be criticised, but the fault for the "hack" is almost certainly the responsibility of the user.

  • Most photos were taken in the past.

  • I think the BBC has made the wrong assumption when cribbing from ABC or another news source.

    Ms Brown has tracked down the great-nephew of one of the soldiers, Private Malcolm Alexander Neville, who came from Wilkawatt in South Australia.

    He said his aunt, who was now 101, always told stories over the years of "Uncle Malcolm" and how he never returned home from the war.

    I guess she, born in 1924, had heard a lot of stories from her parents or other families about him.

  • The chart suggests that some time late into the day before yesterday, they had about -0.3 husbands.

  • In this thread, mostly: "Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory."

  • I realize you're joking, but the vehicles considered to be the first motor car and first motorcycle were both created in the same year, FYI - neither is a response to the other.

  • I don't miss Reddit much, but I have such nostalgia for r/shittyreactiongifs before the moderators decided they couldn't be bothered to moderate and permitted non-subversive posts. Some of the hardest I've ever laughed by myself.

  • The meter works better in the original Icelandic.

  • Yeah, Jeremiah is what Poe was referencing in terms of his narrator character's desperation to recover from the heartache of his own loss, but it was The Raven that I had in mind, not the prophet in Babylon.

  • Is there no balm in Gilead?

  • Firstly, that's incorrect in terms of phonics, as seen in so, no, go, hello, etc.

    Secondly, "tho" was a common replacement as part of American English spelling reform - see also "thru" and "OK" as survivors of this reform, even if they're perceived as informal.
