Robot Made of Meat posted:Welcome! How did you find us? I had assumed that BYOB was one of those forums where you have to have your mask of Cool Postin' Internet Dude up at all times and never show weakness, but something about one of the forum ads made me at least take a look. Pleasantly surprised to see it's a concentration of the *other* side of SA, the friendlier side. I have no pets but a box of rats arriving in a couple of weeks. My hobbies mostly include pouring money into the pit that is my house and documenting it in the DIY subforum. I don't have interesting ancestors that I know of but I do have a related tale. I was in the US (from the UK) for a thing and met someone with the same (relatively rare) surname as me. We had a chat about it and I said "Do you know where it came from originally?", to which she said "No, we're not sure when we were given the name". And then I remembered she's black and the US still has aftereffects of slavery and oh god some branch of my family must've owned her ancestors at some point. Oops. Scroon posted:Hello, a new here!

Aye, I only use them to do things which are otherwise buried in hard to navigate UIs. The number of taps and swipes it takes to set a timer is straight up frustrating compared to "20 minute timer". But I'm also paranoid about having an open mic, and I've heard second hand that it can lead to kids learning bad habits since Alexa doesn't require social pleasantries like "please" and "thank you". |

TVsVeryOwn posted:If the Cosby Show is to believed a nightburg could lead to a wicked dream. In the episode it's a sausage sandwich, but that's like a burg cousin. I don't remember why, but a few hours ago I was debating the etymology of a burg. Like a chicken burger is a burg, what about fish finger (or indeed sausage) sandwiches? It's not the shape of the bread that makes a burg as it's a burg with lettuce or buck-rear end nude. Is it the shape of the patty?

My night burgers were chicken burgers that I've been gobbling since I got my kitchen back at new year's. I gotta diversify, yo, getting bored of them. Beef makes too much mess though. |

BoldFrankensteinMir posted:I'm sorry, that was a bad judgment on my part. I meant to imply the same thing about face recognition, but it's just as presumptuous. There's a special kind of anxiety that comes from knowing how much every website and piece of software is tracking your behaviour. Even when it's benign and just intended to improve your experience you start hesitating before clicking something because now you're thinking about how it's going to be interpreted by the application. I'm also a little security paranoid but yeah "they already have my fingerprints" is my fallback. I've not gone for face recognition and won't, though (should I get a phone that supports it). |

alnilam posted:some of them might be specific to a certain time in a certain forum, and sort of treasured like a medal by the people who feel a part of that community, and they might feel like it's being appropriated if someone who doesn't post there uses it Yes, the one to my left I used on the basis that I liked the look of it, but I was wary of stepping on toes. It's related to the crypto.cat IM client but I couldn't find any threads where it originated so  . I hang out in the sort of forums where it would've originated and only one person seems to still sport it.

albany academy posted:He loves getting pets on his head but loving hates getting his butt, legs, stomach touched. If he's sleeping on the couch with me while I watch something and move my leg, feet, etc even slightly close to any of these places he will wake up yelping, scurry across the room, glower at me, then flump himself on the floor with a huge melodramatic sigh. Is this a cat or a dog? I heard a thing about cats and belly exposure being a trust thing but I don't know if it's true. alnilam posted:Lyra Your dog is extremely good and I'm glad she's still got some beans in those old days. alnilam posted:it's based on an old german superstition that on 2/2 - which is the dead-middle of astronomical winter - bad weather portents better weather to come (yay), and fair weather (sun) portents a longer winter (boo) That's interesting! alnilam posted:*oh i should mention "pa dutch" is a misnomer it's pa german, they talk a very funny dialect of german (similar to what is spoken along the northern coast of germany) and americans misheard them saying "deutsch" as "dutch" and i guess the rest is history I guess if you push hard enough they're all Dutch, what with Germany being assembled from a bundle of tribes which split their languages into three; English, Dutch (Low[lands] German), and German (High[lands] German). Or thereabouts anyway. You probably know more about the migration to PA than I do but my understanding is that "a very funny dialect of german spoken on the northern coast" is literally the history of Dutch. |
