@xan_tronix I killed the pope to get a new Casio?

I learned the Pope died from /r/Casio reddit.com/r/casio/commen…

@VioletStraFish @GergelyOrosz @xkcdComic The tz database (formerly the Olson tz database, after the random person in Nebraska who was thanklessly maintaining it from 1986-2011).

Interesting to reflect how much of an impact @xkcdComic has had on tech culture - expressing making (mostly) universal truths via simple to understand comics So many golden nuggets. Like this classic:

@xan_tronix How about you give advantage to the systems that bind us together, by sending me hot pictures, such that I may gather further evidence toward the theory that you are not just kinda hot, but very hot?

The @isostandards tax pays for nice trips around the world explaining how important they are to politicians. Meanwhile a 17-year old wanting to implement something in an open source project like FFmpeg can't.

@nuclearlighter Wrong replies only? Nice big pair of pruning shears and start over.

I'm sitting in the server room right now, listening to Bad Sector and thinking how to solve THIS. What would you do in my place? Wrong answers only.

reasons to abolish Daylight Savings: - confusing - widely disliked - serves no benefit to farmers - we live in an age where we can have light anytime we want without having to ask Papa if he can spare some of his precious stores of whale oil

So. How to remove mould from a set of fangs which you put away two Halloweens ago and haven't worn since. Asking for a friend.

@xan_tronix I'll bite: how is voting the ethically incorrect thing to do? If the fix is in, and Trump will declare victory regardless of the actual votes, then surely your vote will make the lie just a little more obvious? If he will legitimately win, isn't it better that he win by less?

@xan_tronix Be well, my friend. I shall miss you.

@adrianbowyer Will that actually recover the image, or just turn obvious artifacts into subtle ones?

@ahmedshubber25 If you don't have time for a serious relationship with a woman, why do you think you have time for a serious relationship with a daughter?

I know to most people this is just a funny meme but, "we shouldn't listen to people who have issues with hygiene" is not a good take and I'm a little sad to see it repeated so often if you don't like @Asmongold's opinions, I think it's better to criticize those directly

@xan_tronix Hugs?

@DanKaszeta Oh, I didn't know that, and I've been living here for about 15 years now. (But I didn't know if you were talking about US or UK law there either.)

@DanKaszeta Mind, no idea if "this guy" is guilty or not, because I have no idea what case you are talking about.

@DanKaszeta Not sure I agree, in a world of plea bargaining, high conviction rates, bad legal aid, etc. Even if you are innocent, getting out now on a deal vs sticking with an innocent plea and spending time behind bars even if you are eventually exhonerated can look pretty good.

@xan_tronix @selectric401 *makes a note*: Technology Connections as foreplay.

@xan_tronix I can be an annoyingly buzzy drone?

The stunning thing about the news coverage over the last couple of days is the sheer number of pundits saying we're in "uncharted waters" to have something like this happen during a political campaign, and that's only true if you ignore the fact that it's not. In 1972 --
