Topic: What we've learnt today. - page 23. (Read 84580 times)

I kept crossing paths with this one guy that way. Never met him in person, but heard stories from my girls. Fine. So this one chick once started talking about an interesting guy she met, and after a few sentences I just knew it was him. I told her "right, and his name was {his name}" - and she just blinked and stared at me in shock.  I then took advantage of the presumed psychic powers I had, and helped her relax and reach her first orgasm.

But we digress from the topic here.

What I learned today is that microwave ovens suck in fine droplets of hot oil, and disperse them through the vents onto the surrounding surfaces of your kitchen.

LOL Phinnaeus Gage stalking an ex-boyfriend is a poor idea But on the ex-front I've found that when it comes to girls if you look at their past boyfriends or how many of them are and what timeframe they usually dump them in, then you can usually avoid some pretty nasty encounters. So if a girl has had numerous relationships in the past few months, chances are there's going to be a reason for that, granted, sometimes it can be just shitty luck but other times it could be because she's an absolute psycho, even more so if she hasn't even had sex with any of them.

Why not? It worked so well last time.

He knows his new girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. Somewhere down the line he may be in the market to find a new girlfriend. What better place to start then stalking some guy having the same tastes as his, seeing who he dates.

As an added bonus, the first date won't be as awkward, for he'll know what subjects to stay away from, unless he opts for the what-they-have-in-common route, one of which would be "that" guy.

I'm not sure it works quite that way.

Yes! If he stalks him, he'll get a general idea of who his next girlfriend will be.

Any lessons from that revelation?

somehow I don't think they'll be putting on the brakes any time soon. That would break their paradigm.

.... Go look up what a flush setting is you noob, I'm actually capable of doing more than one thing in life

What kind of a language is "Jewellery"? You clearly aren't taking this coding thing seriously.

. Not just today but over the past weeks I've been learning C++/SDL and I learned that even tutorials have blatant bugs or will be badly laid out so I actually have to read through the errors myself or ask someone for help fixing them, remember that if you ever decide to learn coding, if the compiler doesn't work it may not be your fault but the tutorial not being checked over properly before it's released or the code would only work with an older version of your compiler.

. When it comes to learning coding you spend less time learning the code and more time downloading the correct extensions to make it work, then you find that you have to learn bits of code for those extensions, depending on what you're doing you don't seem to use the standard programming language because it isn't always flexible enough to do what you want the coding itself is actually pretty easy once you learn the commands

. I learned how to make a flush setting in Jewellery

Wait wait wait...  There are kits especially for that.  Both use an oversize tap which doesn't require you to drill out the stripped threads, fits on the end of a 3/8 extension & pretty much uses the remnants of the old threads to start, so it's hard to d8ck up.  One kind uses locktite & what i think is called a helicoil insert (it is what it sounds like -- a spring-like doohickey with a special tool to thread it in).  The other uses locktite & a threaded sleeve with a shoulder.

 TL;DR I herd U laik threads, so i put threads in UR threads.

I learned (after reading all the way through it) that this thread is far more informative than I expected.

I also learned that copper is now being sold in bars and rounds as bullion for monetary purposes.  I haven't yet figured out whether this seems sensible.

Early Ford V10 Triton engines are prone to blow spark plugs stripping the head. Luckily I had 9 other cylinders to get me home from being 120 miles away. One solution I read on some forum was to JB weld a value into the cylinder, using it as an air compressor.

Looks like me gettin' a new twuck. To bad all me bitcoins is a tied up in InstaWallet, but at least they is a safe. 

SHIT FIRE! I just got me a better idea. Why the fuck I no think of it earlier? I know a guy that could fix this permanently without ever having another issue--Ed Trice.

Today I learned that BIOS beep codes sometimes work as expected to help quickly find bad expansion slot contact in computer setup.

And players can purchase access to the big picture: the more they pay, the wider field of view - so they see what's coming, how many players are nearby. You pay to expand your horizon, and thus anticipate, plan, and position yourself better.

Soon, a game will be developed to rival Angry Birds, cleverly dubbed Bust My Balls.

Off the top of my head:

Player one has a tiny ball on their screen, the size of which they can barely see. Upon turning it on, it creates a new ball of which is numbered, in this case it is number 1. Number 1 ball leaves the screens to travel eventually appearing on somebody else's screen who has their own ball showing. The goal is to get a visiting numbered ball to hit your ball so that it can grow in size.

The larger your ball is, the better the odds of having it make contact with a visiting ball. The closer the people are who simply have the app on their smartphones, the more numbers balls will enter your domain.

You're only allowed to send out one ball per day, unless... (still thinking on this)

Since numbered 1 is the first and will be in the wild the longest, it would most likely make the most contacts. Each time it does such, it travels faster through the system, interacting with more users. This does not mean it travels faster across your screen. It's always at the same pace allowing you time to make contact with it. It can only be on one screen at a time.

A website can be created to show what numbered balls you have made contact with, alone with keeping a tally.

Just figured it out: As you level up, you'll be able to send out more numbered balls per day. You also gain points as your created balls make contact.

Further thinking: Assign one satoshi to each created numbered ball. Design the game so that it is very easy to play, but there's a monetary reward each time your created balls make contact. The more balls you create, the potentially more money you can earn, albeit it's only satoshis--at first.

Somebody will have to create and maintain the BallChain to keep track of the contacts/transactions.

Don't laugh. Computing hashes can be done like shown in the picture.

Play nice! Don't be making fun of BFL's workforce. They're special!

Wha???

Not sure I followed. You want to crawl around in a bubble?

I learned that when everyone starts saying that something is a bubble, and you completely convince yourself it's no a bubble, it may actually be a bubble, except when it's not a bubble.

TL;DR People who claim it's a bubble are like people who claim gravity will make things fall. Yeah, sure, eventually.... when? Should I crawl on my belly till then?
