Matt E. Эллен

user116848

Howdy!

Matt E. Эллен

@tchrist I see. I've done a couple of them. The passive has a lot of questions, so I might put that off for now... I'll have a look at progressive

@MattE.Эллен Were you merging and syn'ing or editing/retagging?

Hi @skullpetrol!

MετάEd

@tchrist Undoubtedly syning.

Matt E. Эллен

@tchrist I was looking through the tags to see if there are any where the use of the tag meant something else (e.g. simple was used for questions about simple)

tchrist

Yeah, that's a lot of work.

Matt E. Эллен

but I've syn'ed simple

Robusto

Repent, ye syn'ers!

skull petrol

Matt E. Эллен

tchrist

skull petrol

Matt E. Эллен

Matt E. Эллен

skull petrol

Over 9000?

Here we call it lollipop.

skull petrol

A tootsie-roll is the brand name of a lollipop.

Tootsie Roll

Tootsie Roll is a chocolate flavored candy that has been manufactured in the United States since 1896. The candy has qualities similar to both caramels and taffy without being exactly either type, and does not melt while being transported during hot summer months. The manufacturer, Tootsie Roll Industries, is based in Chicago, Illinois. It was the first penny candy to be individually wrapped. == HistoryEdit == In 1896, its founder Leo Hirshfield, an Austrian immigrant to the United States of America, started his candy business in a small shop located in New York City. In 1935, the company was...

@MετάEd Fidgeting is the next jogging.

There's a fitbit app that measures fidgeting.

Robusto

@skullpetrol Not exactly. Tootsie Roll is the candy that looks like a dog turd. A Tootsie Roll Pop is the lollipop version of it.

Resolved: in 2016 people who say "flush out" when they mean "flesh out" are officially dead to me.

tchrist

Naw, it’s just a sucker, not a lollipop.

A lollipop is flat, a sucker is round.

user116848

My browser wasn't working for like a week. I'm glad it is fixed now.

Robusto

What did it take to fix it?

user116848

I was getting zillions of pop ups in every tab. Must have been some virus.

Robusto

I asked what you did to fix it.

user116848

22:38

I know. I'm typing.

tchrist

Installed Linux.

user116848

@Robusto I simply installed Firefox over my old firefox. At first I was uninstalling and then reinstalling it, that's why it wasn't working.

Robusto

That's what you get for visiting porn sites.

tchrist

They don't have those where he's from.

user116848

@Robusto Here all porn websites are blocked.

Robusto

22:40

Supongo que a cada quien le corresponde su milagro.

user116848

We have to use proxies to get to them.

user116848

Also youtube is blocked.

Robusto

Pakistan, was it?

user116848

Yeah.

Robusto

You know, we complain about the U.S., we have that luxury; but boy I'm glad I don't live in a country like that.

user116848

22:42

Yeah it sucks here.

user116848

What I hate the most is youtube is blocked.

Robusto

That's pretty bad.

user116848

A couple of years ago I had my own Youtube account with subscriptions etc. All are gone. We use proxies but with them we can't log in or anything.

user116848

Still if I paste a youtube link say, from here, into a proxy website I could still watch the video.

Robusto

My condolences.

user116848

22:46

They say it is unethical to use proxy but meh, everyone uses it. No other way :)

user116848

@Robusto Hehe.

Robusto

A: Is "having been" correct?

Your statement is correct but can sound better with a couple miner changes: With the film's release on the 1st of October, the studio is looking forward to big changes for the future.
