Re: #Tell Friday

Re: State of the Brontos

I don't even know how to approach troubleshooting this If you right-click the broken images to open in a new tab, do they load there? If yes, it's most likely a browser issue. If no, it's most likely an ISP/CDN issue. Was just in the middle of posting the following, was just testing the sig thing f...

Re: State of the Brontos

This is so weird. And Mothra's avatar and sig are one of the ones not showing for me either. I don't even know how to approach troubleshooting this, since I knocked off the obvious starting points (add ons). And it's not at all consistent. I can see avatars like Mazian's or Esperath's, which are emb...

Re: State of the Brontos

I see everything fine, you're crazy. Maybe you've just got them cached? I mean, I don't even know what to check in my browser to explain why the boards doesn't let me put in a new [img] tag image in my signature. I tried completely disabling both NoScript and uBlock Origin and forcing a reload, whi...

Re: State of the Brontos

Tried again today with fresh images, but I keep getting "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct." and can't replace the url of my existing signature. I suspect this is not actually a me problem for a change?

Re: #Tell Friday

I have two insane curiosities of history today, both aviation-related. 1. The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system , also known as Skyhook. Literally "Okay, hear me out here. What if, instead of landing the plane to pick up a guy, we just fucking YOINKED them with a big hook?" (or YEETED,...

Re: State of the Brontos

Anyone else getting some board images like avatars and signatures not loading? It's not consistent - for example I can see the MIDDLE image in Friday's signature but not the two on either side. Looks like everything affected is an imgur remote link? I simply uploaded my avatar to fix it, but can't d...

Re: Trump Leaving Office Poll (Part 2)

Speaking to my mom today, which is always fun since a significant part of her mind is and will forever remain a small, easily-frightened little girl in 1960's Iran. Sometimes cringeworthingly ignorant and other times simply naive, but I will say that at least she's never been fooled by a Tory or Rep...

I currently have both of these!

So... you're on part-time? :D

Or are you actually saying you legit have that as a full workweek? Civil Service?

Re: Work

Fuck commercial real estate - one of the best things that can happen to rents and urban spaces is for a shitload of office space to be converted to residential. It's actually a somewhat complicated conversion, not just throw up some walls and remodel, since utility setups are often wildly different ...

Obviously this is terrible and the obvious outcome of a terrible situation that shouldn't have been allowed, but here we are. Leaving that aside for a moment, I never knew she was the one who found Harvey Milk's and George Moscone's bodies. Huh.

Re: Work

Well, you know my opinions on Corporations. As for the workday, a hell of a lot could be improved by pushing for a 4-day workweek (or 6-hour work days), but at the moment it seems the main fight is to prevent corporations from rolling back work-from-home gains. Something which is also very much abou...

Re: The Winter Up There Must Give People Brain Freeze

Indian hacker groups now targeting crucial government infrastructure for attacks . The tl;dr is it's not an official group. So either plausible deniability, or possibly even just regular assholes doing it on their own initiative, rather than it being an actual government op. The latter is quite pos...

Re: The Winter Up There Must Give People Brain Freeze

So what became of the nazi? I would like to say he went right into jail but you know... Apparently Poland wants to extradite him. Wouldn't be the first time we'd shipped a nonagenerian Nazi off either. Not that that at least is a particularly Canadian thing... happens in the US and other countries ...
