Share the knowledge people. What'd you learn recently?

TIL that there's a name for that infamous krautrock beat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorik

ayyyye

Are you doing that for work/working towards a career? I've seen you mention programming stuff a few times before.

im in the process of switching from computer programming to a more fun career in CNC (computer numerical control).

still has some programming, but you make things too :) not just apps or websites

wild to me that you didn't know this before

today I learned peacocks are relatively inexpensive and easy to buy around here

You don’t need to pay to have an electronic title printed out if you sell your car to a dealership.

You don't have to pay if you just give it away either which is analogous to selling to a dealership.

Who's OH gonna give a car to? His dog?

The river, when he's finally had enough.

He lives in Florida. He'd probably just get eaten by an alligator while he was still alive.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

Hello rent!

id never kill such a regal bird only to pair it with a corona

I would kill such a regal bird because holy **** are they so annoying.

I'm 100% sure I mentioned my grandfather throwing a broom at a peacock at Thanksgiving this year, but I'm going to bring it up anyway.

Don't you mean last year? Thanksgiving hasn't happened yet this year, oh Grammar Nazi.

Hasn't been more than a year though so go play in a haunted bouncy castle.

I highly doubt that that's actually haunted.

Then enter... if you dare.

Today I unlearned 2017 was last year. :rolleyes:

Why am I in black and white?

So you can scare children and adults with Achromatopsia.

They wouldn't know the difference.

Prague is not spelled Prog.

The Hague and Prague don't rhyme.

Today I learned that if you take note, nobody ****s with the Spanish when it comes to war without remembering the Spanish Inquisition (nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!)

I learned that Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was a rip off of Babylon 5, even though the former proceeded the latter.

Starz just added 21 James Bond movies.

Dora the Explorer teaches English in most countries.

She's probably plotting with Obama and ISIS to flood our borders.

How many shrimps go in the pasta shrimp (11)

Depends on the shrimp. Shrimp come in so many different sizes (huh, what?) that they get labeled # per pound to aid in cooking.

Size Count Per Pound
Extra Colossal - Under/10
Super Colossal - Under/12
Colossal - Under/15
Extra Jumbo - 16/20
Jumbo - 21/25
Extra Large - 26/30
Large - 31/35
Medium Large - 36/40
Medium - 41/50
Small - 51/60
Extra Small - 61/70

That part of my dumb little hobby game didn't work because I wrote

put "@&enemytype.mzm&" Image_file "[0]" at 52 13

instead of

put "@&enemytype&.mzm" Image_file "[0]" at 52 13

Took a while and some frustrated groaning to figure that one out when this archaic game system I'm using has very little detailed documentation available online.

Still satisfying when you press play and it finally works as it's supposed to!
