Welcome. Have a seat in one of the somewhat comfortable generic beige chairs.

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

Considering it's an acronym for Graphics Interchange Rasterization And Formatting Format Enhancement, it's pronounced giraffe.

This is everything I didn't know I needed today.

I knew a woman with the name, though she spelled it "Lynden" I think. Presumably not super common though.

For those not wanting to click, there are two questions.

  1. What is the length of x?

1000010208

  1. Can you:

i) Divide a square into five rectangles such that no two rectangles share an entire side in common – i.e. the sides of abutting rectangles never start and finish at the same points? (The rectangles do not need to be the same size or shape.)

ii) Divide an 11 x 11 square into five rectangles in such a way that the ten side lengths are the whole numbers from 1 to 10? Hint: if you have solved part i) use this arrangement of rectangles.

If it's verbal, Jean/Gene works. Otherwise, depending on where you live...

Dang, it's been 10 years since this legend entered my consciousness?

Makes sense, the president usually isn't part of specific sub-departments. But what's the orange guy's job?

 

My partner and I love having live location sharing, it's the main feature of Google Maps that we loathe leaving behind. Is there anything in the OSM ecosystem that replicates it?

So far I found OsmAnd's tracker, which I think works by sending location updates through a Telegram backend or some such?

Is there anything else out there? Anyone else using a feature like this?

 
 

(Detroit, MI) Republicans have begun a crusade against the time-honored 1981 classic Raiders of the Lost Ark, citing a lack of respect for the first amendment and encouraging political violence.

Sites like imdb.com have seen a surge in new accounts as Conservative Americans across the nation are creating profiles in order to leave a one-star rating for the Spielberg classic Raiders of the Lost Ark. According to these reviews, the film contains gratuitous politically-motivated violence, and a complete disregard for the first amendment right granting freedom of speech. According to inside sources, viewers feel threatened by the persecution experienced by the characters in the film, decrying it as glorifying violence.

"I don't expect them to agree on everything," one reviewer writes, "but violence isn't warranted for differences in political alignments. Ultimately, [Jones] and his competition have more in common than they have different." Another critic writes that they "of course don't identify with the politics of these characters, but cannot condone the slander and persecution presented against them." Similarly, many reviews cite tolerance as a virtue sadly missing from the movie. Summarizing the position aptly, one review states, "if he would simply sit down and have a rational debate, rather than punching the Nazis, I'm certain Indiana could have resolved his differences without so much bloodshed."

Related, ratings for 1963's The Great Escape have seen a sharp improvement, with reviews praising the dedication and efficiency of the soldiers depicted in the film, even though three prisoners manage to escape.

I never reserve pasta water (self.dull_mens_club)
 

The recipe always says to reserve some pasta water. I either forget, or I just don't bother. The one or two times I've needed it, I just added regular water and it was fine.

I miss my tools (self.dull_mens_club)
 

I just moved, but haven't sold my old house yet. So I left my tools there for any work that needs to be done. My dad let me borrow his tools for the new place (and I'm very grateful for that), but they're not the same.

I told her I ate all the candy. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
