Q: Let's give top winter bashers some reputation!

The people like eLRuLL, Eran, and Panda are really good at Winter Bash, with 30/30 hats! They deserve a reward! Hats aren't just for fun because getting a hat means that you did something good on the site, and if you get a lot that means you did some pretty spectacular things. Most of these thing...

In the US, fireworks are much more common around the 4th of July, but there are various places you can purchase them legally throughout the year. OTOH, possessing them and, in particular, lighting them off are things that are commonly regulated. While the places selling fireworks don't usually care where you are from and where you're going with them after your purchase, it's definitely a good idea to do a bit of research as to where you can enjoy them legally.

@Clomp Depends on where you live and where you go to buy them. There are places that have fireworks available year-round, and others that have fireworks as legal for New Years.

@Catija by the way, does it violate the CM Code™ to tell us how long the time period for waffles is? now that we've established the main criteria

Irony punctuation

Irony punctuation is any proposed form of notation used to denote irony or sarcasm in text. Written English lacks a standard way to mark irony, and several forms of punctuation have been proposed. Among the oldest and most frequently attested is the percontation point proposed by English printer Henry Denham in the 1580s, and the irony mark, used by Marcellin Jobard and French poet Alcanter de Brahm during the 19th century. Both marks take the form of a reversed question mark, "⸮". Irony punctuation is primarily used to indicate that a sentence should be understood at a second level. A bracketed...
