@DavidM Are you closing my message as a duplicate? :D

Some interesting stuff there, thanks

@marcellothearcane No I was doing an Edwin Ashworth possibly related ...

😂😂😂

@Cerberus Interesting!

@Færd nods

@Cerberus indicates assent

@marcellothearcane indicates a scent

I'm starting to smell a troll. This guy keeps posting quote after quote from Cambridge Grammar and asking us to explain.

I'm not convinced he's a troll yet. He might just be a very conscientious student trying to read a grammar guide and understand every word.

hello guys

I am looking for a word which encloses the meaning of being "noteworthy"

like "important" but not really

worth mentioning

thank you, found it :)

That was fast!

@DavidM This question looks fine to me.

Maybe adding his own reasoning would improve the question.

The question is fine. It's the volume of question going literally page by page in Cambridge.

Do those questions swamp other questions?

Do people enjoy answering them?

People (including myself) have answered some of them. But they're primarily cut and paste jobs. Smells a bit trollish. That's all I'm saying.

@Cerberus ewe

@DavidM We'd know, innit?

@DavidM We could preempt by looking ahead.

@Mitch Ha! Post answers to his questions before he asks them.

@Mitch Really?

Why not ram?

Completely off topic, my GF and I have been doing the Hunt A Killer game recently. It's kind of neat. They send you a box each month with some evidence and a few leads and you work on finding the killer. It's kind of like a murder mystery party without the awkward acting ...

Each season is 6 boxes sent once a month.

The other day she and I manually broke a cipher that turned out to be a QWERTY cipher. And, after spending 2 hours doing so, found that there was a tool built into part of the gaming materials that would have broken it for us. It was still really fun breaking the cipher.

But they don't tell you, "Hey! This is a cipher. We have a tool for that." That's part of the fun. Nothing is spoon fed to you.

@DavidM Exactly.

@Cerberus NO EWE

ha ha ha h ha ha h ah ha

I've ben waiting a whole five minutes to say that.

@DavidM or fake blood stains that are harder to get out of clothes than the real stuff

Or so I've heard.

@Mitch I have a mental image of you sitting in the closet waiting to spring out and say it.

ᵇᵒᵒ

@Mitch real blood is surprisingly easy to get out. If it's your own blood, lick it first. Your saliva will help to remove it. If it's someone else's use peroxide.

@DavidM They're about as on-topic as you can get. maybe a little 'do a -little- more first' but I'm fine.

@DavidM If it's someone else's peroxide... ew again.

It just reminds me of someone from a few years ago who was posting question after question like this. tchrist is the one who declared them a troll based upon his statistical analysis, etc.

Hey... is hydrogen peroxide good for cuts/mouth sores or not?

@DavidM If they're being a dick about it, they're a troll. Actually, the dick part is the troll part.

If you don't swallow it, it's fine. It won't do anything particularly useful.

There are better products out there.

Glyoxide for one, because it has a local anesthetic added.

@DavidM doesn't it sorta not make the healing process so great (for a small cut that doesn't require stitches)? For that matter, isn't it bad practice for a stitch-requiring cut?

@DavidM That is a rather interesting concept.

@Mitch LAMB

Thanks for waiting.

Mouth cuts are constantly being bathed in bacteria. You washing it out once won't help.

But does it help healing?

huntakiller.com

@DavidM But won't peroxide bleach fabrics?

What I do is soak it in water immediately.

@Mitch not to my knowledge. It's purpose is to clean the cut out primarily by bubbling up and pushing bacteria out.

@Cerberus Not as much as you'd think. But, always test first. I always seem to get blood on white stuff

OK.

White is easy to clean 99% of the time.

Color safe bleach is essentially peroxide.

I presume that is also what's in Vanish detergents?

Called Oxy Action and similar.

Yes, exactly

It’s much harder to wash out the blood of the innocents for some reason, though. But, I think that’s mostly because they stain your soul . . .

The only thing I don’t like about the game is that their website does on of those “See if you qualify to send us your money for the game” bullshit come-ons. I almost didn’t buy it because of that.

Macbeth washed his hands, didn't he?

Lady Macbeth did.

Out, out, damned spot.

Either that or her dog refused to leave the room.

Wait that would be, Out, out damned Spot!

Perhaps capitalisation was less consistent around 1600.

Good point

@DavidM Bad dog.

Mad cow.

That's a bit strong. I don't think you should bring your family into this.

@Mitch My family is quite far removed from cows.

The families of some others present, however, ...

@Cerberus Mad cows would be far removed from the other cows. They're mad.
