once they look into my history and find that I played WoW and "by fire be purged" is from WoW

they will be "ZOMG GAMING IS EV0L"

wallpaper size is 5760x1080

anything less is iPhone size

1191x670 isn't wallpaper size at all.

@jeffreylin_ when I am here, there is always talk of fire

Why did I just watch an entire episode of Mr. Ed what is wrong with me

I'm sure I say this every time I play this game

but damn Mass Effect is so clunky

2:08 PM

@kalina This probably doesn't quite fit the bill, but here's a set of 4 wallpapers for Ponyville at dawn, noon, dusk and night: fav.me/d4llrz3. You can pick three and use them for the three desktops.

I prefer one big image that flows from one monitor to the next

Yeah, well like I said that's going to be a little hard to find.

Landscape and cityscape panoramas are good

I have 37 images in a rotation at the moment, they're not that hard to find

user15026

I wonder if I can set those ponyville ones up so they swap at the right times of day

@AshleyNunn I tried that, but on Windows it's a pain

Mandolux is good for multi-monitor wallpaper.

I was going to suggest InterfaceLift, but strangely they don't have wallpapers at 3x1920x1080 size.

Their sizes only go up to 5040x1050

2:31 PM

Mandolux is great because they are clearly composed specifically with triptych setups in mind.

@jeffreylin_ mispelling is one option.

@Lazers I am positive I was going to ask this a long time ago and it already existed.

I can't find it either. I probably just forgot to ask.

@Powerlord I've only really seen the Microsoft Surface commercials, myself...

Oh right, and that's giving Microsoft the benefit of the doubt by assuming those aren't actors

@badp Write them outside a code block. Copy and paste the resulting character from the preview into the code block.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Maybe in the comment editor palette?

@FEichinger 0 | 0 = 0. Your efficiency is bad and compilers must work around your bad.

I bet there's a plugin for nearly every browser including some kind of thing that does precisely that.

@badp YOUR FACE IS BAD.

@FEichinger By that logic, the editor could very well be just a barebones textbox with no preview or features.

In fact, if there isn't, I'll write one.

@badp That's the whole idea behind ALL DEM JAVASCRIPTS, isn't it?

@FEichinger Yes, so why does one feel content with injecting them in manually?

Answer: because that one person is bad and should feel bad.

@badp I feel content with it, because I find this overuse of Javascript in itself a bloody awful thing.

@FEichinger So your solution is adding javascript on the client side. Genious

I understand that it is likely trivial to write that plugin, but one thing's writing it, one thing's shipping to a site's entire userbase.
