Yes, I find it annoying not to be able to delete drafts by deleting the content in-thread. I have a feeling that used to be possible. I do the full-st...

In the end I realized it was your way of telling me there was something wrong with drafts, so I created a draft and noticed that it created an extra p...

I have nothing against koalas, since they don't interfere with my life, but I don't understand why people find them cute. I find them creepy.

Let me check... Yep. /uploads/files/a7/bog4rmysthhluokz.png

Guy Fawkes Night tonight. When I was young it was a much bigger deal than Halloween, though we did carve turnips as well as burning effigies. I've bee...

I use emojis quite often in ordinary life (going to the market, meeting with friends), but because the Shoutbox is dominated by strenuously cool and a...

I saw a video about it recently from a YouTube channel called CaspianReport (they seem to be widening their concerns). Anyway, the video had the scary...

It wasn't like this when I was a lad.

Too hot with the windows closed, too cold with them open. FML!

Reply using the reply button at the bottom of every post, as shown below. /uploads/files/a1/lxuag2n98w4nf9v3.png It only appears when you hover over t...

No worries. I have the book and have read it a couple of times. I like it, but I don't know if I'll be joining in this discussion. I'll be reading alo...

I'm not angry or anything, but I really hate being misquoted. Shown below is how it went: a quotation from Russell followed by my summary of his view ...

Typical!

Well, I've been composing a reply but now I realize I don't want to get into this topic at the moment. My parting shot is just to say that I think the...

Stuff like this, perhaps: Probably Ayer as well. (I agree with you about Kant. I think of him as a direct realist.)

Do you want the truth, or just the answer that makes you feel more comfortable?

Birch juice is an occasional feature of my present milieu.

You're catching on. :up:

Like this? https://housing.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/What-is-timber-wood-and-which-are-the-best-types-f.jpg

It's a good one, that article, though it's a long time since I read it.

The truth is that we know capiche or kapish (specifically with the non-Italianly-pronounced terminal phoneme) from American movies involving Italian A...

I may wait for you to decide, if I have the time.

Not me. I may google it soon if I find the time, otherwise I can wait for your explanation. EDIT: I've just realized you mean capiche. Of course, it's...

The name of your favourite she-goat.

It seems to me that many Americans use Alabama and Florida as the butts of their jokes. This might be for different reasons. Like, Alabama is poor, a ...

:angry: At the back of my mind somewhere I was cognizant of the possibility that you were being marvelously witty, but all my doubts were overwhelmed ...

I’m not taking sides here. I didn’t even know there was a battle happening.

Don't you start doing that too. You’re a better writer than that. To see if “As such” works in a particular instance, ask the question, “as what?” If ...

You're fond of taking the high ground and lecturing people about what they have to do to know the stuff that you know, but your posts show very little...

What a scumbag.

I had never heard of that acronym.

You folks have fiestas for everything.

Just like you exploited your colonies in the Americas. I'm joking!

Yes, it's cool, I just wanted a bit more detail, that's all. No worries :up: Could be interesting.

When you're attempting to contribute to a discussion it's better to go into more detail than "just read this book". If you're actually interested in t...

Very good, though on the face of it it just seems like common sense. I suppose a systematic approach would be good though, so I’ll give it a tentative...

I bet there are Atlantanmen who have never been to Alabama.

In my experience, some of the non-Spanish supermarkets in Spain have an American section. Carrefour I think.

Just posted something here by mistake. Pretend you didn't see it. :grin:

Good point. I just had a look. Likes are quite heavily integrated but it is just about possible to remove them, it seems. I mean, it’s easy to hide th...

I actually don't think we'll need SSH access, and I don't want to need it. I'd prefer to separate off my coding and sysadmin type work away from TPF a...

@"Michael" @"Leontiskos" As of today I’ve got Discourse running now on a host that does managed Discourse hosting. Some people on meta.discourse.org s...

Ah.

If you mean SPAs in general: Gmail, Airbnb, Rome2Rio, Netflix. If you mean the ones that load everything up-front, rather than those that use code spl...

I feel your pain.

:up: There comes a point sometimes when the magic just gets in the way. But all the tools we use have some level of hidden magic (unless, I don't know...

Maybe I wasn't clear. If you look at the context of that quote, you'll see I did not wholly endorse that classification but offered it as an equally l...

So, Svelte is obviously doing a lot more magic than React, and I guess is more opinionated. Opinionated magic in frameworks has its pros and cons.

Maybe. Looks interesting... https://allma.si/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/svelte-vs-react-1024x533.png
