Since no one else has commented I thought I'd add a tangent which I found interesting when I learned of it: The origins of the euphemism "nailing" to refer to having sex comes from ~1800 when HMS Dolphin was in harbor at Tahiti: The relatio

I've hit the same wall a number of times in my life across a variety of games/past times/hobbies. Two things which I have always come away with is a wonderful collection of amazing people and a keen understanding of how to improve at someth

I used to be like you, then I realised that the English language has been ever evolving. Being prejudiced against efficiency has rarely turned out well.

My little bit of snopes'ing pulled up an interesting ass covering that Olsen made in reference to this quote, which as time goes on still sounds equally as bad: > I did make a number of statements and still make statements that people d

@gryner: I checked your FB and noticed that English isn't your native tounge, so straight up I give you props for being able to communicate in a 2nd language waaaaaaay better than I ever will. However I found this article difficult to read.

Possibly 25% of them. But why? Its more time efficient to just leave them there. You seem to be missing my point :)

Reminds me of a Bucky Fuller rant about the "incorrect" words we still use every day even though we know more now than when they came into use. His best example is "world wide", which he put forward should really be "world around" since we

I found myself in a similar situation to the redditor, but with out the bonuses. Part of my duty description was inputting MAC addresses of "authorized computers" into an extremely dodgy database system which allowed them to pick up an IP a

I have a super efficient email process; 1) use gmail 2) any email which is important I click on and read 3) everything else remains unread Most of the time I can get everything I need from an email from what is shown in gmail's inbox view.

The timing of this is interesting to me. I was having a conversation with a friend who isn't a geek at all who mentioned that he met the most geeky person he'd ever come across. Someone so geeky they had a domain name which was just a black

I am looking forward to the "Observations of Observing Observer" article which is sure to follow, as it appears that images in this blog post have been 503'd due to downtime or capacity problems!

I've always wondered why these aggregation sites need up and down voting at all. Can't we just compare the number of times the link has been displayed to users with the number of clicks on the link?

Why does searching for cannabis just reload the page? I do admit that when it came back and the text entry box was empty I'd already forgotten what I was trying to search for. It wasn't until the next joint when I thought of trying it again
