Just so you know.

Unionhawk

@JerryRox Yes. QUESTION ANSWERED I WIN.

ahem

Wipqozn

It's usually better to just not say anything, because a lot of people will actually do the opposite of what you want

People are really touchy when it comes to what they do or do not vote on.

user15026

LpSamuelm

@JerryRox IT's on MSO somewhere. Give me a second, I'll find you the post.

JerryRox

@Wipqozn Okay. But first of all, what is MSO?

LpSamuelm

@JerryRox Too many bells and whistles in your posts get annoying quick, so be a bit careful.

A: Keyboard Glyphs

You need to use the <kbd> HTML tag: <kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>Z</kbd> becomes CTRL+Z

Meta Stack Overflow.

JerryRox

@LpSamuelm What do you mean?

Wipqozn

It's sort of the catch-all meta for all the Stack Exchange sites, as well as the site meta for stack overflow.

JerryRox

@Wipqozn Oh okay thanks a lot!

Wipqozn

@JerryRox No problem.

Q: <kbd> elements are way intrusive

<kbd> is a great way to mark up text to be entered. But when you use it on Stack Exchange sites, it's really difficult to read. For instance, say I typed this sentence by starting with a Shift+F, then used o, followed by r, then space, you can see that it quickly becomes an unreadable mess of box...

bug status-completed fun html design

Yep. Exactly what I expect from MSO.

LpSamuelm

@JerryRox Making text italicized and bold seemingly at random and using special visual elements makes it really irritating to read your posts.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk I like the kbd elements.

I don't have any trouble reading that at all.

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn The important part is pleasing me.

LpSamuelm

@JerryRox I'm not talking about kbd specifically, just accessories in general.

spugsley

12:42 AM

@AshleyNunn yes you do. Those are the best nights to order in

Wipqozn

@TimStone Exactly!

Tim Stone

@AshleyNunn You can order me dinner too. Luckily it's not raining here.

user15026

@spugsley And I am working on a paper, so I extra don't want to stop and like...make stuff

Tim Stone

But I used to hesitate ordering sushi when it was raining because the delivery people always used bikes, so I know that feel.

spugsley

@AshleyNunn definitely order. I went out and got Panera before the rain started. It was gooooood

after my adventure in the woods, the soup was perfection

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:44 AM

@Ashley so long as you tip properly and are not an @OrigamiRob style monster, ordering delivery on a rainy night is a very good thing to do.

Tim Stone

@spugsley The closest Panera Bread is not very close at all, so you should be ashamed for tempting me like that.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am not sure what kind of monster he is, but I always tip for delivery, moreso if it is obscenely late or nasty out

@LpSamuelm I miss mine like you have no idea

user15026

Also - apparently i can order ramen that is fried, or that is soup - I am assuming the lack of or appearance of broth-stuff is the only real difference, yeah?

spugsley

@AshleyNunn pretty much

LpSamuelm

@AshleyNunn Fried is so incredibly good.

user15026

12:50 AM

I cant deciiiiide

user15026

I mean when I make mine usually I dont have broth-stuff but at teh same time.....aaaahhhh

user15026

also is it going to deliver okay and not be all weird?

LpSamuelm

@AshleyNunn The "broth stuff" is basically just the water.

user15026

@LpSamuelm yeah, I usually boil the noodles, dump the water, add the sauce packets and whatever else and tadah food

LpSamuelm

@AshleyNunn Depends on from where you're ordering from, but normally fried comes in one of those styrofoam sushi-style boxes.

@AshleyNunn Instant broth, yo.

spugsley

12:52 AM

@AshleyNunn they usually seal it up pretty tight

LpSamuelm

Sometimes a "yo" just adds that extra bit of flavor you need to a sentence.

Tim Stone

I don't even think our scales go that high :O

Wipqozn

It doesn't.

That's just how awesome that company is.

They have such a dedicated fanbase.

There are very few fan bases which are as loyal as PAradox fans, specifically the grand strategy ones.

Paradox releases a lot of content DLC with all of their games, mostly minor things (new events, music, artwork, et cetear), with a large expansion pack every so often. The main reason they do the little things is because the fans just want a chance to throw more money at them in order to support them.

I've come across a lot of paradox fans that buy all their games, even ones they don't intend to play, just because they want to support the company.

It's crazy.

@TrentHawkins This is also true

Could run as independent, I suppose, but that will get him precisely nowhere.

user15026

And honestly, he is so scandal-ridden at this point, it would be a crazy choice.

user15026

Although I suppose his attempt might make the election process a bit more entertaining than it usually is?

> But Ford did compare his admission of drug use to Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s admission this past summer that he had smoked marijuana as an MP.

Yeaahh... but marijuana's got a helluva better public perception than crack.

@TrentHawkins There is that, for sure.

@TrentHawkins I think he is hoping to run to succeed Harper in a few years, not right now.

@LessPop_MoreFizz fair enough - I still just don't see it happening. He might have some momentum from Toronto if, scandals asside, he has been a decent mayor, but the rest of the country doesn't really give two figs, and only know his current scandal-ridden reputation.

Although he probably has a better shot at national level politics than Winnipeg's mayor. (Not that Katz has, to my knowledge, expressed any interest in such)

... Can't wait to hear The Daily Show/Colbert Report's take on this though. They've been having a field day with Ford.
