It’s insidious!

I am in NW GA. We occasionally get some fallout from hurricanes here, but I’m not sure how long it’s been since I’ve seen this much rain, and at time of writing there’s still time before the actual storm(s?) hits.

My biggest gripe with Organic Street Maps (and every OSM) client that I’ve tried is that I can’t find a way to display the destination address when I get close. I do some delivery work and that drives me crazy. Otherwise, it’s great.

Thanks for the reminder. Ordered mine.

They’re also relatively cheap and quite durable.

It can still happen, but usually at the customer’s request/requirements. We actually use inches at a much smaller scale, but use decimals instead of fractions.

I remember finding xkcd fairly early on (around 50 or so). The fact that it’s almost at 3,000 now blows my mind. I hope Randall has something awesome planned.

Putting a minifrige under my desk was one of the best bad decisions I’ve made.

I can often work out the meaning of these comics even if I don’t understand at first. I’ve given this one a good hour and can’t figure it out. Can anyone help?

Some absolute comedy gold came out of that sub. I was sad when they shut it down.

I don’t know if it is the context messing with me or what, but General Grievous looks like he has doe eyes here.

No. Hard to do when there was no way to identify them. I mouthed off at a gas station, and before I could react, a dude jumped out of a truck and assaulted me.

Scythe vs mower

This is all funny until you do it. Trying this kind of shit in 2009 as I was starting to fully transition got me a full swing baseball bat to my hip. I laid there for maybe 30 mins before I could crawl to a phone.

From a safety standpoint, please don’t do this. Just flip them off as you walk away and then vote as if your life depends on it, because it just may.

Yeah. That was just an example. If ~35 million users bought one game a year, you get that number. Of course the actual number is much larger.

I will when I can. They are in a storage unit that I can get to on Saturday at best and I will have to dig through stuff. There is also a fair chance of my memory failing because it has been 25 years.

Thanks. That helps quite a bit. The internet’s fury has made me question whether I am correct in this regard countless times, but I still have textbooks that say that the usage in this meme is correct. I’ve been curious for a long time.

Ok, this is a personal thing for me. It might be just UK/Europe (I don’t know) that rejects this use of the apostrophe in this case. Throughout my North American (US, specifically) education into collegiate level English courses I was taught to use an apostrophe to pluralize initialisms and acronyms specifically. If it is not an initialism or acronym, carry on with just adding an “s.”

If there is an actual problem within this US variation of English that I have been taught, please let me know, because it’s become frustrating to see things such as: “you don’t need that apostrophe,” and “this is a sin against the apostrophe” etc. etc.

I’m not trying to be critical or harsh here, just get a better understanding.
