No really, I don't know what else you could be asking.

It looks to be a guide on what sockets are ok for German things to be plugged into.

I like where this thread is going.

I like how happy the Denmark outlet looks.

Meanwhile, the USA one looks horrified, and appears to have a black eye...

I'm used to people messing up 'you're' and 'your', but today I met someone saying 'you'r'.

by **roband** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 2:03 pm UTC

Sure that's not just a typing error? Seems more likely to me

by **Steax** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 2:15 pm UTC

No, he used it several times during an hour long chat.

by **roband** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 2:16 pm UTC

Wow. Another attempt of mine to defend people by assuming that they're not stupid fails.

by **emceng** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 2:42 pm UTC

Well I'm glad I could contribute to the depravity.

Also, I wish my body would self regulate desires better. Yesterday I had an intense craving for Mountain Dew, but didn't drink one. Today, when I desperately need caffiene, the thought of a Mountain Dew is slightly disgusting.

Oh, and in the first 45 minutes at work I managed to read all my normal webcomics. WTF am I supposed to do the rest of the day? How am I supposed to procrastinate on the 100 projects I have?

by **Steax** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 3:22 pm UTC

I wish there was a search engine that didn't stupidly ignore punctuation marks, so I could tell if people were actually using 'you'r'.

Oh god, I was actively not replying with that. Say goodbye to the next 1000 projects you have - let alone 100.

Now now, if they were a 'stupid fail', wouldn't that mean they were smart?

You totally made me question myself then. "Did I just refer to someone as a 'fail'? I hate it when people use that word as a noun". My heart rate increased, because you made me feel like a dick.

Nice work

Everytime I get listed to some thread on reddit I start trying to read it and immediately give up, because fuck I can't stand the format.

Same with me, though I'm getting a bit used to it.

Random plug of the day: not that I'm particularly surprised, but apparently one of the people in my roleplaying society has a webcomic about roleplaying. That much is decidedly not unusual, but what is is that it uses photographs instead of drawings. I've read through about half of it so far and I think it's fairly entertaining. First comic here.

by **broken_escalator** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:54 pm UTC

If this comic is anything like Darths and Droids I will read this comic.

I'll read it even if it isn't, but thats the only picture-style roleplay comic I read.

by **pseudoidiot** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 6:54 pm UTC

Did you ever read DM of the Rings (where Darths & Droids got their inspiration)? http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=612

by **e^iπ+1=0** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 7:46 pm UTC

Heh, it's funny you mention them. In the FAQ, they say that the picture-style is indeed rare, "Barring the film-as-rpg comics, like DM of the Rings and Darths & Droids".

Found image on the Internet. Not sure whether trolling or just very very stupid.

Surely, trolling. Everyone knows MGS is just a remake of Contra.

Yeah, but since images are blocked at work, reddit is pretty lame.

I spent several hours today trying to get an unlocked cell phone to work on a network with no official support, but it was totally worth it to find out the unlock code to run unsigned code was "upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart"

My outlets have varying degrees of paint. However, the stay puff shiner style (USA grounded configuration) with bright white paint on an almond socket is cracking me up:) Good sir! would you be so kind as to pass me another Thin? If it was a western, I'd call it "Itchy and Branded". I've seen a hell of a lot worse than itchy and scratchy

I believe you call those cojones.

If you unsuscribe to /r/pics, /r/fffuu, /r/starcraft, /r/gaming, /r/funny, /r/atheism, /r/politics, etc, quality increases drastically.

The spring season is banging at the door. Symptoms include:

1. A couple of sunny days.
2. A five-minute rain/hail/windstorm* in mid-afternoon, bracketed on each side by sunshine (two days ago).
3. A day of part sun, part cloud. Fairly warm for this time of year.
4. Great heaving gobs of sopping wet snowflakeballs falling from the sky for a while this morning, settling into light showers.
5. Now dry but overcast. Forecast is for mixed everything.

Spring weather is fun. And by fun I mean wtf.

_{* The wind was blowing the bus around on the bridge out of downtown. I think the bus driver nearly shat his pants at a few points. The suddenly-hail-covered pavement probably didn't help.}

by **UniqueScreenname** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 2:28 am UTC

It is not officially spring yet.

Your spring sounds like my winter, but without the snow. From now until maybe November, all I have in store is ungodly heat. Florida for the win!

And by that I mean cruel and unusual punishment.
