Tried chopping up onions and mixing it into the meat. It turns out that the chopped onions make little tunnels for the juice to escape, and the burger gets dry.
@Optimizer I was pleased to find that rotating my forward cipher code by 69 gives daxwrp~zjxwpcpjh (two non-existent alphanumeric tokens which are ignored, and the ~ which evals the input). But the rotation by -69 is 96MLGESO?MLE8E? which would raise the offset to the 768th power.
Well, the underhanded tag seems to explicitly say that is what an underhanded question is. So while you can say you don't like the tag, I don't think that is a good close reason.
No, but this tag has existed a while, if you want to remove it (which, btw I would support) I think you have to post on meta, not close some guys question.
@PeterTaylor Am I misinterpreting your post when I say that it points to closing such questions as Unclear what you're asking?
I don't want to misquote you.
Nevermind. I don't even want to know the answer to that question. I don't want a rule that "all questions tagged X are good" or "all questions tagged X are bad". I'm totally fine voting on what I see on a case by case basis.
I only ever see questions when people reference them in chat. Given that nearly all of the close votes are subjective, it's no surprise to me that two questions would be treated very differently.
I'm not sure where all of this "tag" business is coming from. I voted to close the question.
If you want to throw up a red flag and say "Hey, Rainbolt's logic also applies to this whole other group of questions." then please, go do that on your own time. But don't involve me.
Because, as I have stated repeatedly now, I am not going to retroactively look at every underhanded question that has ever been written and consider whether or not it deserves to be closed.
You are being provocative. You obviously won't be happy until I declare war on the entire tag. I'm not going to do that, because it would break my principle: I vote on questions, not on tags.
@Optimizer no I actually find the question unclear... he says that even digits are cool if they're together with odd digits... which would include 12. but then he says he wants to only print all odd numbers. and then he says that we should do "something" else, but at the end he says we should specifically print all even numbers.
in addition there's probably half a dozen underhanded challenges, this is an indirect duplicate of anyway.
Some time after the Great code-trolling Purge, a huge wave of popularity-contest underhanded questions emerged.
Are some of the underhanded questions too broad and hence facing similar issues to those of code-trolling?
Bad Underhanded question (too broad?)

hm, I think we should review audio and music some time. They are used quite arbitrarily right now, but a clear distinction between music theory and actual audio processing/generator would actually make sense.
not really... it's not that much harder to deal with than with images. people are just less familiar with. but in any case, I don't see how it's relevant to keeping the tags tidy.
eh, i am pretty weird about things like that. i had some job interviews, got sucked into that, then got too stressed out to do much of anything for a month except code and read
@Sp3000 okay, I've finished the first world of Beat.Trip Runner 2 on perfect now. it's actually a lot better. the achievement system is a lot more rewarding (with one exception: getting an achievement in one difficulty doesn't automatically unlock it for easier difficulties, which makes some of them a bit tedious)... it also has a lot more content, and more reasons to go back to previous levels (because you can unlock stuff in previous levels)
and most importantly: the upward stairs are a lot more forgiving then they used to be
The MU puzzle is a puzzle in which you find out whether you can turn MI into MU given the following operations:
If your string ends in I, you may add a U to the end. (e.g. MI -> MIU)
If your string begins with M, you may append a copy of the part after M to the string.
(e.g. MII -> MIIII)
If yo...
