OT: Things we find freaking neat but no place to post

Or you could just have something like the following:

DELETE POSTINGS WHERE POST_CREATOR = 'puckhead'.

Wait, are we still talking about the Googleban here, or just in general?

This is what you did to Blue Wolf, isn't it?

I have to be honest, it was very tempting. When I'm bored, I go and read his twitter feed. I can't believe he actually has over 150 followers.

After reading the refugees thread in the archive, I came to realize that I was the one who lured DE/BW/BWF over here originally.

Then I became a mod, so I got my karma bitchslap.

Thanks for the invite, but was the strip search really necessary?

DE! Well done dare!

Like a good leader, I'm good at delegating and pointing fingers. I blame Brian.

Been reading through the refugees thread for fun.

Makes me wish I had gotten on the boat a little earlier. I do remember that I had pretty much stopped even looking at the Swamp because it had gotten so bad. Finally poked back in several months later and saw the PM from Boss inviting me over.

Could have saved me from having to spend my time at work actually working during that period.

Like most things in life, DE fell under the 80/20 rule. 20% of the time, he was an okay poster. It was the other 80% of the time when he was a complete asshat that created all the issues.

It might be the other way around. It only takes 20% asshat to get yourself banned here.

Reading it made me sad. So many good people that are no longer here. Chang, Soggy, Urkie, Smo, Squatch, BOSS.

$35,000 for a Tesla (coming to you in 2017) - 200 miles per charge (not too shabby)

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Lots of old names in that one.

Dupster was a good guy at one point, but Maddog just sent him over the edge.

Then how in the hell am I still here?

Need an affordable mass market car, then hopefully that will spur the charging station infrastructure.

Then they can work on getting batteries filled faster or expanding range.

I am so looking forward to that.

I love what Tesla is doing to the car industry. Even if they aren't the ones who make EVs viable in the long term, they've done enough to force the other manufacturers to take notice and respond.

Dupster was a good guy at one point, but Maddog just sent him over the edge.

He went off on a lot of stuff. He would have liked the Ann Coulter thread about soccer. I remember him ranting and raving about how soccer was a sport for shithole third world countries. I almost remember the exact conversation. It went something like:

Me: Yeah, because nothing screams third world like the Netherlands and Germany.
Dup: Those countries maybe, but you've clearly never been to any other part of Europe.
Me (who was, at the time living in Sweden): You've clearly not read my posts or looked at my profile recently.
Dup: Scandinavia is fine too. But if you get outside the big cities in Italy or Spain it's like a third world country.

I didn't respond anymore at that point.

Not that I've been there, but people who have been couldn't stop raving about the beauty of Prague. Istanbul, Turkey I hear is also a neat place to visit. And my sister just loved the beaches in Greece.

...and Canada, and the southern US, and all of Florida.

I would like to see replaceable batteries. You pull up to a station, they unlock your dead battery, slide it out and slide in a charged battery and off you go. The station then charges your old battery. Then you don't have to wait go on your way.

Not been to Prague personally, but Istanbul is amazing. Went there on vacation in 2009. Loved it. Probably at or very near the top (no less than top 3) of places I've been.
