I mean it's funny when they die, but other than that they're not funny.

Does anyone have the post that was about changing the thermostat.

It's a long rant about how the guys wife keeps putting a lamp under the thermostat, and they have a long argument about it, and it ends with "and I would have that argument a thousand more times rather than lose her" or similar

edit: nevermind, here it is agian:

As in “I would have the argument a thousand more times rather than lose she”? or what, I don’t know what you mean

It's a disjunctive pronoun, just like it would be in French in that same context. If English had a stressed form for "you", that would be used as well. Similar to how you'd never use "I" and "he" in the following:
me: blah blah
him: bleh bleh

With the note that in French specifically "elle" remains "elle" when stressed because the stressed form is the same, in the same way how in English the stressed form of "you" is "you".

Sometimes it's both!

I've seen posters in the ED forums complaining about some infinitely spergy detail of a plane under development while simultaneously claiming it's good that ED keeps blowing deadlines over and over again because it means that they're getting it right -- and they would rather have no plane at all than one that's simulated wrong!

my mom & stepdad's house has some grover-level electrical weirdness. it has a lot - like a lot - of outlets, many of which are in weird places. my parents joked that the house had been built by an amateur electrician who was practicing his trade.

one day, one of the outlets in an upstairs bathroom stopped working. my stepdad went crazy trying to figure out why - checking the wiring, the fuses, everything. eventually he admitted defeat and called in a professional electrician.

it took the guy hours to figure out what was wrong. eventually he emerged from the garage, visibly disturbed and slightly disheveled. he had fixed it.

it turned out that the light in the garage door opener had burned out. my stepdad had removed the burnt-out bulb, but hadn't yet put in a new one. for some absolutely inscrutable reason, this caused the upstairs outlet to stop working. the upstairs outlet only works if there is a working lightbulb in the garage door opener. no one understands why.
