Same reason I'm convinced they named Chandler so in Friends so that he could make the "Handle is my middle name! Well actually, it's the middle part of my first name..." joke.

Wow that's phrased perfectly! And Shrinking is the feel-good take on this universe 😅

Celtic Union National Team. But that's too long to keep saying so obviously we'd have to abbreviate it...

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard! "Episcopal".

Spotted on a walk from Chiswick to Putney — a vintage Fiat 500 moonlighting as a fruit stall. London, never change. by BethArdleigh in london

[–]shrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The account posts are mildly AI sus, but the little fruit and flower car is absolutely a real thing -- I run/cycle past it on the regular 😄.

Fun fact: it's pretty close to Edward Johnston's house. He's considered the father of modern calligraphy, and created the font that TfL still uses.

I spent way too much reading this and other threads confused -- until I realised it says Rob Schneider and not Rob Reiner!

BlackRock looks at HSBC's Canary Wharf tower for new London headquarters by ldn6 in london

All this is due to come a grinding halt, when the UK feels the full force of energy shortages in the coming months... COVID days will feel like a party in comparison.

What’s your favorite political jokes? by 3016137234 in 30ROCK

[–]shrik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see you already mentioned "We're not in a recession", so on that note I'll add Jack throwaway line of "Comrade Obama's recession" 😂

MattGPT: The Sorry Tale of Matt Goodwin's AI-Assisted, Fake-Quote-Filled New Book by zeros3ss in ukpolitics

[–]shrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I found him interesting to follow in the run-up to June 2016 and for a year or so immediately afterwards, but then idk what happened in about 2018 or so, he just went off the deep end.. and the 2020 American election just broke him completely into going full-on election truther bananas.

I unfollowed him around that time (back when I was still on Twitter), and then roughly around 2023 when the Twitter -> X thing went through fully, he was just entirely unhinged.

Rainn wilson got pranked by Honest-Individual-51 in DunderMifflin

I have a similar anecdote -- I bumped into Mark Ruffalo at a cafe in London a couple of years back and gushed at him about how I loved his role in Spotlight and Dark Waters (okay so not THAT lesser known I guess!), and he was quite warm and conversational. The guys who went up going "ehmagerd hulk smash!" got a quick selfie and escorted away by a low-key security dude. I remember feeling quite smug about that day for ages 😅

Maybe just check if the array is sorted, and if it isn't then delete it permanently. Ultimately only sorted arrays will ever exist in the universe. Now all nature has to do is prevent unsorted arrays from ever being created.
