No, I got it instantly. This however was not a Pink Floyd reference, but rather a reference to a previous time that Emrys made that specific Pink Floyd reference to my posting about pudding. Do try to keep up Ronald.
I will always hear it this way now.

I mean, really! Listen! It sounds just like it.
(sorry for the young girl lip sync, it's the first video I could find that only had this part)
Congratulations on the nuptials! @General Specific and Mrs. @General Specific!
Yes, I am a huge Star Wars fan and @dill616 is a big Harry Potter fan therefore lightsabers and wands
Now I can't unheard it AND her face will haunt my dreams.
Thanks, Gasbandit. Thanks a lot
Hey guys! Gals! I just finished this GREAT book by an aspiring author! It's a hilarious take on dime detective novels and Golden-Age DC comics heroes (and villains)! I laughed, I cried, I tried not to pee my pants!
You should go read it. It's by some guy named "Piers".

I suppose so . . . But it better be good or I'm coming back to you for a refund.
It is Gürteltier (Belt Animal) nowadays.
Aber "Panzerschwein" ist lustiger
I ordered some extra copies of my books from my publisher recently. The Dame was a Tad Polish isn't out yet, but I now have physical copies of three books from Pro Se Press with my name on them.
It's unbelievable how well they've treated me in only two short years.

You should frame those or make posters and then frame them! That's really cool, Nick.
I'm doing that for my own novels. Already have a poster for The City of Smoke & Mirrors. And plan on doing the same for The Dame was a Tad Polish once the final cover work goes through.
Two is enough to be the start of an army.
And I'm getting back six! Six!
As the gods are my witness, I'll never go doomweasel-less again!
Huzzah! How many weasels did you lose?
I had 13, so 7 of them.
Though I might be getting two more back because they are being, and I quote, "little bastards".
I'll be invading the US in no time flat.
Well that sucks but getting half back is still ok i guess.
And if they're happy in their new homes, I'm not going to traumatize them by moving them back. Six, and possibly eight, will cause enough thundering patter of little paws.
I'm so happy for you and your little family of fur slinkys!
I love ferrets, but they can be quite odoriferous.
Mine weren't. I only had 2 though.
I have just one who's a Whifferous Weasel. The rest stay quite scent-free through regular bedding changes and liberal use of their rice box.

Does anyone else here write software as part of their job? I have been searching for a bug in some of my code for more than a month, and I just found it. I will actually sleep tonight.
This code is thousands of lines, and runs on a cluster, running computation jobs sometimes for days or weeks, so it's not exactly easy to debug. All your usual debugging tools like gdb or valgrind don't work so well in a multiprocess environment, especially when running under a resource manager (which fairly parses out cluster resources).
Keep this in mind when you want to know why your favorite software company can't "just" fix bug X. This turned out to be a simple one-line oversight on my part which no debugger would've caught anyway, because I out-clevered myself.[DOUBLEPOST=1434572635,1434572574][/DOUBLEPOST]Also for the record, bugs almost always seem to come down to one dumb line. And it's usually about 3 miles from where the bug manifests.

Did you know they actually have this new sort of thing that doesn't use batteries, you can fold it up and squeeze it and crumple it, and it'll STILL tell you how to go to find the way home? It's called a map
(but I'm glad you had a good day)
TIL one should switch to airplane mode when in the subway, so the phone won't go into overdrive trying to find a signal that isn't there.Did you know they actually have this new sort of thing that doesn't use batteries, you can fold it up and squeeze it and crumple it, and it'll STILL tell you how to go to find the way home?

Also a great way to get a phone to charge faster, plug in, place in airplane mode and it will charge about twice as fast.
