Let's see how long this one stays up

OK, it's sort of funny and sort of not funny (I mean, being mauled and eaten by lions just doesn't seem very funny).

Yes! Yes! and Yes!  :D  Some people just have no sense of humor. :rolleyes:

In my case it was a bot from twitter. Artificial intelligence has a ways to go before it can get sarcasm.

 

If I ever feel the urge to waste time there, I guess I'll get a burner phone and use that to "verify" my identity, even though the account was created with my full name and picture.

@BigBlot Excellent drawings! :thumbup:

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

:lol: My brother and I sometimes have fun citing all the evidence that folks don't have to worry about AI taking over the planet any time soon.  I'll add sarcasm to the list. ;)

:) Funny how easy it is to get around such "security" features, isn't it?  Or maybe they're being sarcastic when they say "verify", and the joke's on us...  :D

Sorry for the terribly bad joke. And even worse drawing.

 

... they say "verify" and the yoke's on us.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

:D Not how I've ever thought of it, but close enough, especially for some of the more annoying ones that make you jump through a dozen hoops.

Only after I finished drawing did it occur to me that it might work better if I removed the obligatory stickman:

Drawing works both ways. :)

 

As for the outlets - I was intentionally (and jokingly) being an obnoxious American. :)  I'm well aware of various outlet configurations around the world.  When I returned from Moscow - where we used step-down converters to convert the 220 outlets down to 110 for our American electronics that we brought with us - I purchased a step-up converter so I could use my 220 electronics that I bought there in the 110 outlets here. :rolleyes: I think I still have a handful of adapters, in some box somewhere, for the plug ends - the electronics themselves have long since gone to the dump.  My wafflemaker (aka wafflenitsa or уаффэльница, as we called it in Russia) is the only electronic that has survived all that time - go wafflemaker!

уаффэльница

So, we made up this word by adding nitsa to waffle, but it turns out there's actually a Russian word for "waffle iron" and it's exactly what we made up, just spelled and pronounced a little differently: вафельница (vafel'nitsa).  Go figure!

That's made me laugh out loud! I still have a couple of appliances that we bought when we lived in Moscow in the mid-90s and they're still going strong - despite having done a couple of years in the Caribbean, then a stint in the Middle East and 20 odd years between the Caribbean and UK since.  One of them is my wafflemaker...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
