@yossarian, saw this and thought of you shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=18301

Is my DNS sending me somewhere funny?
Mar 13, 2011 23:54
Outflopped looks like a knock-off, there's no colored blocks at the bottom for the other sites
Mar 13, 2011 23:53
is Outflopped an official SE site? i mean, it has to be, it's a subdomain of SE...but then why is there a proposal?
Mar 13, 2011 23:53
but there's also an open poker proposal: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/3425/poker
Mar 13, 2011 23:53
which took me somewhere called Outflopped
Mar 13, 2011 23:53
on a whim I typed in poker.stackexchange.com
Mar 13, 2011 23:52
hey @Aaronut or @hobodave, I have a question about another SE site...
Mar 8, 2011 17:24
@yossarian: "Maybe their worried about you're reaction to it." I LOL'ed
Mar 8, 2011 17:23
It's not saying "it has toppings were well blended", it's saying "the toppings belonging to it" which means a possessive pronoun is the right use in this case
Mar 8, 2011 17:21
@Aaronut, according to my understanding of its/it's, your sentence is actually using "it's" incorrectly: "It's toppings were well-blended." I was taught that it's is a contraction for it is or it has. Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it. Therefore in that case, I'd expect to see "Its" (I know, semantics, just jumping into the conversation a little late while I eat my lunch today)
Mar 4, 2011 17:01
I'm with yossarian in that I think TFD is wrong, but I don't know if it's worth pushing since it seems to be a gray area
Mar 4, 2011 17:00
I certainly agree that "Party" is a pointless tag
Mar 4, 2011 16:59
Once you pointed to a dictionary definition of the word catering (which did not mention "professionally" at all) I thought the conversation was over, apparently he didn't agree
Mar 4, 2011 16:58
However, I don't see catering to be an exact synonym for bulk-cooking, in that I can bulk-cook for myself at home (and do regularly), but catering always means bulk-cooking for others to me
Mar 4, 2011 16:57
I "cater" friends' parties a lot of the time, but I'm not professional and don't get paid
Mar 4, 2011 16:57
While I understand what he's saying about catering, and maybe I have an American-centric view, I consider catering bulk-cooking for a specific event, whether professional or not
Mar 4, 2011 16:56
Might be a little late to add my 2 cents, but...
Mar 4, 2011 16:56
Hey @hobodave, sorry I missed all the fun last night, ha
Mar 3, 2011 17:52
yeah i've never heard that before, but it made me think of the old chilly willy cartoons from my childhood
Mar 3, 2011 17:46
it's like the Users page is trying to mess with you :)
Mar 3, 2011 17:46
ha!
Mar 3, 2011 17:45
heh, yeah, and i don't picture you as vegan based off your answers
Mar 3, 2011 17:45
yeah, and i hate the default view of "week"
Mar 3, 2011 17:44
and i don't care what the tags say, baking should not be under my name, i've been baking for all of like 4 months now
Mar 3, 2011 17:43
completely unscannable
Mar 3, 2011 17:43
it's the least usable part of the SE network now, to me
Mar 3, 2011 17:42
also, i'd like to join the "new Users page = terrible" group, sign me up please
Mar 3, 2011 17:41
i do remember that meta comment/answer, i'll try to dig it up
Mar 3, 2011 16:17
agreed, i've kind of come to the same conclusion as you in my head...but i can't put it into words, though i think you've come really close
Mar 3, 2011 16:03
i do think the grilled cheese one should be closed, but i wouldn't know how to answer "then why are the smoothie and peas questions still open"
Mar 3, 2011 16:02
somehow in my head the smoothie one seems more...limited? and therefore more valid? but i don't know how to articulate that, or if it's even accurate
Mar 3, 2011 16:02
hey, i know i'm not a mod but just my two cents, i'm in the same boat as you yossarian - i answered the "what can i add to my raspberry smoothie" request, which is basically the same as "what can i add to my grilled cheese", which i voted to close
Mar 3, 2011 07:20
you too man, later
Mar 3, 2011 07:20
hahaha, great alice in wonderland mental picture
Mar 3, 2011 07:19
nice chatting, talk to you soon i'm sure
Mar 3, 2011 07:19
yeah, probably TMI but had to share it with someone, lol
Mar 3, 2011 07:18
and uncomfortable
Mar 3, 2011 07:18
ugh, being a "parent" is gross
Mar 3, 2011 07:18
which means crating her overnight, which means sleeping in the living room to make sure she's not still sick
Mar 3, 2011 07:18
and on that note, i'm going to go set up my temporary bedroom in the living room...came home from work today to my (crated) dog having exploded out one or both ends
Mar 3, 2011 07:17
and by should i mean better be!
Mar 3, 2011 07:17
that would be so awesome...since i put it on the credit card in anticipation of my yearly bonus that work still hasnt' given us but should be coming this month
Mar 3, 2011 07:15
very exciting...my first "real" tourney online :)
Mar 3, 2011 07:15
anyway, i won entry into sundays tournament, free entry, $1000 winner on that one
Mar 3, 2011 07:15
cause last i checked i was 50/250
Mar 3, 2011 07:14
well, at my table, i think, i'm not sure how that works
Mar 3, 2011 07:14
even more exciting, FIRST PLACE!
