Do goons think that the word "butte" is pronounced like "butt"? I'm like 99% sure it's a joke but over the years I keep seeing comments that sow the seeds of doubt.

Yeah I've always heard byoot. However I do like to pronounce it like Butt when it's funny (which is usually)

The e is silent. Same as catte and dogge. I mean, when you're talking about a tochus, that is. Otherwise all bets are off.

What's something that can fill a room with a unpleasant chemical smell for an ambience I'm creating, but isn't dangerous?

Go to a Dollar Tree and check out the air fresheners, or buy something with rubber on it from Harbor Freight and keep it in a ziploc until needed. Alternately: Ask yo mama to come by.

A cupful of bleach or ammonia (but not both, cause that'll kill you) Or a quick spray or two of brake cleaner or starter fluid for a petroleum + ether scent Cup of antifreeze for a unique, sweetish chemical odor E: and by cupful I literally mean just pour some (like a few tablespoons) in a cup and put the cup somewhere, don't splash it around (obvious but worth mentioning) regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Sep 14, 2021 |

I'm sure that there is an easy fix for this but my brain isn't working this morning. How can I make it so that the "This PC" aka "My Computer" icon is the first, most top-left-hand-corner-est icon on my desktop? Windows wants Recycle Bin to get the top spot and just throws This PC around randomly, which is a pain in the rear end

In school, we were absolutely taught it was pronounced "butt." I've always thought people pronouncing it as "byoot" were just trying to socially pressure the pronunciation. I guess I was the one who was wrong, though. And also my loving grade school teachers.

My personal experience as someone who likes chilly rooms and winter up north is that when you're using those small ceramic space heaters, any setting that gets your feet toasty is going to be uncomfortably hot for the rest of your body, particularly your legs. I'd look for something a lot more targeted, like an electric blanket you shove your feet into.

Try getting some indoor shoes/loafers with an insulating sole. Socks have trouble insulating against cold floors.

At least a dozen. Chimpanzees are stupid strong, can bite a hand off and don’t tire easily. I figure maybe 4 or 5 attack at time and the replacements step in as people are maimed.

My father posted this screenshot on Facebook showing a search for curtain cleaners in Victoria, Australia that seems very weird. First, that just seems like a lot of curtain cleaning businesses but also, as far as I'm aware, "LLC" doesn't mean anything in Australia as it's the American equivalent of "Pty Ltd". Anyone got any idea what's going on there?

In the US a lot of dry cleaning places also offer drapery cleaning. Maybe these are general textile cleaning companies that offer drapery cleaning services. Alternatively, they’re not actually dry cleaners but like them: very inexplicably have not been corporatized and franchised and instead there is a mom and pop shop in every town with at least 10,000 residents. E: should have looked at the map earlier:

The weird parts are that this is far regional Australia and those towns probably don't have anywhere close to those populations, LLC is not a thing in Australia and the names are all weirdly similar to each other.

If so I feel like two or three might get the job done, if you could distract the chimp while allowing one guy to take its back and choke it out.

I think a single, adult human could take on a single, adult chimp. People are a lot bigger and, contrary to popular belief, their muscles aren't that much stronger than ours to overcome the size difference. Chimp attacks are vicious, but the victims are always caught off-guard (and are often children, eldery, sick, etc.) If you had time to prepare and you had the adrenaline pumping through you, you could absolutely overpower a chimp.
