What the source text said: "The human body is made up of hundreds of different types of cells."

What the translator wrote: "The human body is made up of hundreds of cells."
This right here would be a great way to show the difference between hyperplasia and hypertrophy.

Hah, I remember on the apple 2, if you put a "high bit" pixel next to a "low bit" pixel, you'd get bleed-over artifacts
I remember that the color of a pixel would be chosen not only for its color, but also because of the dithering pattern that color would create via the RGB sub pixels. That is some meta-level artistry right there.
I remember a Beagle Bros. routine that would calculate slope and choose which order pixel to use so that your line would be thinner and straighter than what you would get with the plain ol' HPLOT.

Some 30ish looking year old dude who was clearly selling something rang my doorbell. I sat there staring at the doorbell cam waiting for him to go away, and when he left, he got on a skateboard and continued down the street. ??????
 
That is to say I have pickled mushrooms. Not that I have pickled mushrooms, but in so much that I have both pickled mushrooms and have pickled mushrooms.
 
Meh. It's not one of those annoying languages that insist every noun has to have a (completely arbitrary) gender. My table is not male or female it's just a fucking table!
Hey now, it is perfectly normal and understandable that the Dutch word for "girl" is gender neutral and not feminine! My language makes perfect sense!

Omg, this. I speak French for work and take classes to maintain. No matter how much grammar etc I learn and how often I speak, I always mis-gender nouns.

I don't know what that means, nerd.
I'd post a video, but I'm at work.

TLDR version, somebody in the show uses a table as a surrogate for their crush. First time I saw it, I couldn't quite believe it, but yes, Virginia, they just showed (with silhouettes and careful camera angles) somebody fuck a table in a non-hentai anime. Not played for laughs either.

Also, it wasn't even a table that belonged to them. It was somebody else's table, in somebody else's home. And they did it in secret.

Ewwww.
 
It means the owner would have at least known to wash the table before the next meal.

It was not implied to have been.
I mean, i know she was a genocidal maniac for a while there, but not cleaning after herself... what kind of monster do you take her for?
 
I watched a documentary tonight called Pedal the World, about a cyclist who tours from Germany and all through Europe, New Zealand, and America.

It makes me wish I had the stamina, resources, time, money, and cycling companions to do something similar.

I've always wanted to take up more bike touring, but I've never done it and don't know anyone who would want to join me.

I'd LOVE to bike coast-to-coast across Canada. I bet that kind of adventure would make for a gorgeous documentary all its own.

For what it's worth, you only need sufficient money. Sufficient money would buy you resources, let you take as much time as you want (which would also solve the stamina problem), and no doubt would attract companions as well.
...just remember to throw the ring into the volcano once you get there. Don't be like that other guy.

I lost all my jerseys, shorts, shoes, and helmet in the fire. Never replaced them, and the bike went into the shed, never to emerge again.

That was 2005. :(

However you choose to do it, keep riding, friend.

(on the bright side, my calves are still awesome.)
