She's got some great videos. The fonts are among my favorites.

No, Errorist. Apostrophes did not "sprout pluralizing powers." We were all taught that they have pluralizing powers all along, without the curriculum bothering to teach that it was a rule with limited scope. There's a reason that almost everyone gets its and it's mixed up, and the blame is on the education, not on the educated.

Shall we get into the issue that we were taught that grammar was black-and-white, and that most of us didn't even know that there were different 'styles' of grammar until college, and that half of the rules we were taught are going to be considered incorrect by one style guide or another? How many grammar nazis out there have based criticisms on one particular style with no consideration that what they're 'correcting' is already correct in the style the author was taught?

[Max Peck]

And yet, the joke is funny.

[Blackhawk]

It is known.

I collect flashlights and knives. I now want one of these...one day it will be mine.

That is not what pluralizing power is at all.



She is talking about a used-book store that will also Buy Your Old CD's .

Not anything to do with its or it's

(that would be the 'possessive power' that the apostrophe has)

90% of the complaints I see about apostrophes is in regards to possessives. For some reason my brain hiccuped and I wrote about possessives when she specifically said plurals.

So, yeah. I know how to grammer kinda gud, but sometimes my brain gets distracted (butterfly!) and comments on the wrong point.

Opening ceremonies today for Marble League 2024:

I collect flashlights and knives. I now want one of these...one day it will be mine.

Reminds me of my new car's headlights. Standard beams so bright that I can't see more than 50' in front of my car because they destroy night vision beyond where they project, high beams so bright that it looks like daylight. Running lights so bright that I can turn off my headlights at night and still see the road clearly and further than I can with my regular headlights, just not as brightly lit.

It's weird and I'm not sure how to fix it.

[Isgrimnur]

Talk to a medical professional that specializes in vision. Draw 10 scrabble tiles and put them in some order and that will probably get you close to the appropriate doctor.

[Grifman]

This is fantastic and will not leave you with a dry eye. What a great tribute.

[Daehawk]

This is a video from Halloween in Liverpool England. Bunch of young people having a blast in the streets.

Oh, that's really sweet.

Amazing. He is 99 years old. Id still know him by his voice. He is spritely and gets around without a cane or walker or help. Even dances a little jig. Still has his mind. Holy Jesus that man has been a part of my life ALL my life and Im 55...born in 1969. He was 44 years old when I was born!......man oh man he is a f'n wonder. Made me happy when I was down , got me singing when it was raining.........and there he is still the same old Dick Van Dyke.

Words escape me to describe him or what I feel at this moment watching him in that video. Surprises never end..and neither does Dick Van Dyke apparently

More power to this man. I love him...always did. Hope he sees many more wonderful blessed years...still himself and mobile..wow You go DVD!

Thanks Grif for posting that. I hadn't thought of him in a long while. I pretty much figured he was gone. Its great to see him still him and happy carrying on. Just WOW!!

[GreenGoo]

I would hope he has a lifetime ban in place that keeps ottomans far away from him.

Honest Trailer | The Hobbit (1977)

[Daehawk]

I think a Hobbit cartoon done in the 1970s would have rocked if it had been done by Sid & Marty Krofft

[Victoria Raverna]

[stessier]

I think this is easily as much fun as the squirrels.

[Jaymann]

That was awesome! I'm pretty sure my parrot is that smart, but I'm not smart enough (or motivated enough) to train him.

[Isgrimnur]

[Daehawk]

I love the tribal guys reactions. I watch a lot of their react videos. Always seems strange to refer to them as Tribal. It brings up images of cavemen living out in the wild or Africans roaming the savanna. I think of them more as villagers and herders and such.

And the crow video amazed me. I was thinking no way it would understand some of those puzzles. But dang'git it got them all right.

That's just insane that he was able to pull the whole thing off.

[Daehawk]

I think you need to watch this high or drunk...maybe both...



This one too....

Such fake technobabble..Im impressed. That man can talk the shit. I almost got a headache. Anyways I want one. Where do I order? I have monopoly money and confederate bills and some mojo.

That soc drawer is ingenious. I want 2 of those on mine. Wait a minute...thats Tempest. I played that in the arcade in the early 80s.

This presentation slide deck/notes has links to a variety of encabulator-related videos, and includes a short history to boot (before moving on to the real topic of discussion).

Surviving the Turbo Encabulator (And Other Tech Hyperbole)

I'm a little sad that this has been a thing since 1944 and I only heard about it today.

[Isgrimnur]

I'm glad I could bring you into the fold.

That shot was made in the final seconds of the game.
Score 3 to 234.
That last shot was the 3.

[Daehawk]

This is a fun little video. They guy takes $100 to both the most expensive country (Sweden) and the cheapest (Vietnam) and lives for 24 on that $100. The Vietnam one is great. So cheap but great.

Since it's a Wednesday Christmas this year...

[Daehawk]

I've never seen that. It was great. RIP to those lost. Hard to belive the little girl is gone and Gomez is still here. Not complaining at all just thinking.

[Blackhawk]

Astin is, in fact, the only one there who's still around.
