I bought a cheap Blu-ray collection of Stallone movies. On the cover, he appears to be smoking a cigarette from the wrong end:



I assume logically it's meant to be ash but it just looks like he stuck half a miniature cig in his mouth, backwards.

I just realized that's a loving Jatimatic (the gun, not the match). It has a mildly amusing history in that Jali Timari was trying to design a pistol but for some reason it fired full-auto so he went :shrug: and made it into a sub-machine gun.

e: Oh, pic! Here's something an 80-year-old guy built for himself and got caught because he went to the police station to apply for a permit for it. You can't get a permit here for a machine gun, not even if it's a machine gun you built around a cordless drill:



e: He actually tested it at a range: 420 rounds per minute :eyepop:

When I used to have use sortable dates as file names I did YYYYMMDD and then counter them if I had more than one per day so YYYYMMDDa, YYYYMMDDb, and so on.

It makes it so nice to be able to sort a list. Easy to export a directory listing and dump it into Excel.

I haven't done that in years though. Now I use gibberish file names like "notes.txt" "this.doc" "other notes.txt" It's really lazy and it makes it impossible for me to find anything. I also store almost everything on my desktop or in a file marked "Desktop poo poo 2" Which has as sub folder of "Desktop poo poo 3".

God I need to get more organized. If someone ever pulled a "The Website is down" on me, I'd never find anything again.

If you haven't seen it:

I always find it strange when liquids that aren't water sound the same as water when they move. It makes sense, it's just physics, and liquids have the same physics, but my brain keeps going "it's a different chemical, it has different chemical properties, it even looks different, therefore it should sound different too"

When u pour water into a glass, it says "plör lör lör" but when you pour Koskenkorva into a glass it says "tunk tunk tunk". Science can't explain that!

No. In that configuration, if you need to use fingers, you have to take off two gloves. If you put the fingerless gloves under the gloves, you only need to take off one.

If you mean as is, it's exactly the same layer on your fingers only with the added benefit explained above, if you wear the fingerless ones underneath.
