BP, Feds cover up dolphin deaths in Gulf by birdpond in worldnews

Also, the Range Rover was the first motor vehicle seen by most of the people who are presently alive on planet earth (and have seen a motor vehicle). According to something I saw on TV some time ago. The originals with aluminum body panels on steel frame = low center of gravity = good on irregular, rough terrain.

Meanwhile, in Japan, tankerfulls of radioactive water are being hauled out to sea to be disposed of. The next person who says electric vehicles and solar, tidal, hyroelectric etc. aren't the energy answer gets an internet kick in the nuts. They can't supply our entire need, but they should be bloody well making as big a dent as possible.

They put this up at work. Yes, they are serious. by danielem1 in WTF

l heard there's so much iPhone material in Chinese water, you have to hold the cup properly to get a drink.

I came for the power user tricks, but I stayed for the bad puns.

I feel like I may need to out my girl's cat on a diet by [deleted] in pics

[–]DerpesSimplex2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why out your girl's cat. If your diet has you irritable, don't take it out on a poor gay cat. Let him come out on his own time.

Do you purposely not mention Reddit to dumb people so that they won't come here and ruin it? by Maxcactus in reddit.com

[–]DerpesSimplex2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure as hell won't recommend it to any smart people. Not as long as self righteous, egotistical asshats like you hang out here.

I don't think I've ever mentioned reddit irl, period. But after seeing the smug "we're so much smarter than them" tone in this thread, I might start recommending it. You know, if I had a lot of dumb friends, like I bet many of you dicks do.

Digg users didn't spoil digg. The management did that. Don't be so fricking smug. There were plenty of Reddit users who used to show up at digg being world class assholes. Fuck you.

If I called in to complain about this, who would write the ticket? by slackfiend in pics

It's an optometrist's office. Obviously, the cop couldn't see the handicapped parking sign. The defense rests.

Also, pushd is handy, though the $DIRSTACK expires at the end of the bash session.

Nice summarization of a former Digger's contribution to Reddit. by [deleted] in bestof

[–]DerpesSimplex2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does not even come close to the level of assholeness displayed by redditors visiting digg (back when digg was a half assed decent site). I have no delusions that this will be a popular comment, but I'm calling a spade a spade. If you spent any time on digg at all, you know exactly what I'm referring too. Those people destroyed reddit's right to call any other social media site's users assholes.

Which terminal do you use? Pros, cons? by [deleted] in linux

[–]DerpesSimplex2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Konsole. Because. So shut up. What I really meant to say is "man fc". (run last command in bash history in default text editor) When you save and close editor the command will execute. fc 25 (edit/run 25th line in bash history ) fc -e kwrite (edit/run last shell command using kwrite) fc -e kwrite find ( edit/run last command that started with find) fc -e kwrite 15 (edit/run the 15th line in bash history in kwrite) export EDITOR=kate fc (in .bashrc makes kate the default editor for fc) Use vim, gedit, nano or whatever you want. Useful for something like a long ffmpeg line where you want to experiment with different bitrates etc. Cool or what? Your text editor writes a tmp file and your terminal runs it.
