      Today(yesterday really) I learned about someone named "Logan Paul". You colonials really need to learn how to discipline your children, I saw some of the crap he was doing in Japan and it's bloody disgraceful...then there was the dead body thing

        Today I learned about what happened during a space tether experiment back in '96.
        "Would you say the experiment was a failure?"
        "I'd say the experiment generated enough current to melt the cable."

          I'm going to respectfully request that you cease and desist with the "you colonials" epithet. We haven't been colonies for over 240 years. Get the f*** over it. And I'm pretty sure a wee bit of Googling would find abominable children in what remains of the empire for which, at this time of year, the sun shines on for less than half the day.

            Go watch some of the nonsense he's been doing in Italy and Japan, he sick creature was more or less playing with a dead body, it's vile

              I'm not commenting on what this person has or has not done. My concern is your inference that the actions by one person out of ~300 million somehow defines the quality of child-rearing in this or any other country (which is not a colony). I could google the most disgusting violent UK criminal and then say something like "You ex-imperialists should do a better job of raising children," but I wouldn't.

              Not trying to start some flame war here, but I think pausing and thinking a moment before hitting Enter might be appropriate sometimes.

                Tell you what on Friday(my first day off) I will give you a list of reasons and examples as to why I think there is a server lack of discipline in the USA, from outsiders perspective naturally

                  To be brutally honest, I don't care why you think that. (shrug) There are better places than this forum to be insulting to other people than your tribe. (Twitter comes immediately to mind.)

                    Yep typical colonial attitude run around causing chaos and then shrug it off, then wonder why the rest of the world has such a negative view of you. I think this is about the last I'll say/do here.

                      Believe me, I have plenty of negative views about this country, and people in general everywhere, including the UK. I'm 61 years old had have seen a lot of lousy stuff done by humans everywhere, and have read a lot of history about times before even I was alive.

                      I just would prefer to keep such things away from what I hope is a friendly, accepting place for PHP developers from anywhere in the world: not a place where we single out certain groups for negativity. It's not a question of right/wrong, agree/disagree; but one of wrong place, wrong time. IMHO.

                        PS: And if you use the word "colonial" one more time in that context...well...I do have moderator powers here.

                          Well, I guess I have a clue why this fell off the front page, or whatever.

                          But ...

                          TIL: [man]glob/man sorts by default, and has a GLOB_NOSORT flag. Hopefully will save time (for the process, not for me, LOL ... I'll be looking into a ton of script to see how many would benefit by gaining that flag ...) :rolleyes:

                          Hurray for TFM!

                          Also did some garbage collection in general on a script that's buggy on a large dataset. Hopefully that will fix it!

                            Javascript: works up there, too!

                            I also learned that there's drag-n-drop support in some of 'em, but it replaces the entire page as well.

                              ^ Whoa, now thats interesting!

                              Apparently more and more young folks don't know how to use regular keyboards.

                                TIL I learned you can dislocate your patella so badly it slips between the femur and tibia. (Fortunately I learned this third-hand.)

                                  I'd say "glad to hear that", except that wouldn't be nice to your friend/acquaintance. Sounds like quite a fall ....

                                    Rugby is a tough game...

                                    But TIL what coddled eggs are. Take the egg out of the shell and put it in a cup (a "coddler"). Put the cup in hot water for a while.

                                    Can't think of a practical benefit - poach it or boil it, just make up your mind it will be faster either way - but there it is.

                                      Sounds like what my mother called "poached eggs", though the cup was a purpose-built teflon-lined metal cup just right for one egg, with a thingy that held 3 such cups in a shallow pot/pan of boiling water (so that the cups were not in contact with the bottom of then pan).
