    So... on another note, /r/fantasy is doing an AMA with Piers Anthony via correspondence, but let's please not ask about that icky pedophilia stuff. Downvotes and deletions ahoy.

  • Drove a Tesla Model S today. The hype is real you guys.

  • In this month's episode of "Churba gets weird messages from Argentina because of mistaken e-mail addresses", we have something new and strange, rather than the usual cavalcade of stuff intended for a fashion designer or a photographer - pictures from the control room of a nuclear power plant. I don't even know man.
  • One more reason I prefer audiobooks to dead trees: fucking papercuts, man.
  • Despite what you may have head elsewhere, it's still pronounced "gif".
  • Apparently the guy is still butthurt that people don't say the peanut butter version.

    My ex-roommate says it with a soft G, and I wince every time he does.
  • I say it with a soft "G", and wince whenever people say it wrong.

    I couldn't tell if you were pronouncing it "gif" or "gif"

  • What people say are the hot button topics in America:
    * Abortion
    * Gay Marriage
    * Immigration

    What are the actual hot button topics in America:
    * How to pronounce gif
    * Which way to hang the toilet paper
    * Double spacing after periods

    * Double spacing after periods
    Whenever I write something down I use double spaces.

    And you are so very, very wrong.
  • Obviously the toilet paper should hang with the flap outward.
  • Both pronunciations of "gif" are correct. It's like with octopus. Both octopi and octopuses are correct (even though the technically correct pronunciation is octopodes.)

    Double spacing after periods is wrong and you should feel wrong.

    Toilet paper hangs "over," not "under." This is to facilitate proper tearing when retrieving it at any angle (e.g. a less-than-optimally laid out bathroom). Paper that is hung "under" has a tendency to catch on the holder when pulled from the oblique.

    Give abortions to people who want them, don't give them to people who don't want them.

    Same with gay marriage.

    Enforce strict sanctions on businesses that hire illegal workers, but have incredibly lax legal immigration policies and a system to transition those workers already in the country to legal status.

    There. I've fixed all of your problems. You're welcome.
  • Under hanging toilet appear is a puzzle I don't want to be solving when I'm sitting on the shitter. If that thing sticks to the roll good luck finding it.

  • I think the TP that has the flap set under is done for looks as it looks neater. I prefer over its just easier to work with.

    Fuck you too Yosho, and I've never had a teacher say double spacing after a period is wrong.

    It's only wrong when you're typing, otherwise it's okay.

    The real source is behind a paywall and I know wikipedia isn't really a source but it cites OED so fuck you.
    octopi derives from the mistaken assumption that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Ancient Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους), gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες).

  • I only double space after a period when I'm writing things with pencil.

    Latin, actually. Octopus is basically a third-declension noun.

  • I feel it should be noted that the only prop or badge replica request that I've absolutely turned down was to make a ersatz Blue Peter badge.
  • Ever take a dump so huge that you feel physically ill afterwards? Not just "oh, I feel a bit off" ill but "I think I need to lie down" ill? Yeah, I've had two of those today.
  • I have, but I have Crohns Disease.
  • Ever have one that feels so satisfying you begin to wonder if receiving anal sex might be enjoyable?
  • Make that three. Do I need to see a doctor?
  • It would probably be a good idea.

    Three poops in a day is concerning on its own.
