Profanity in blogs
You know it just occurred to me that most blogs don’t publish a profanity policy. Sure some blogs are easy to figure out. I mean, if the blog owner throws motherfuckers and cocksuckers around then it is likely ok to do in comments. And its easy enough to figure the big professional “respectable” blogs don’t want you tossing fucks, shits and damns around (the most famous exception to this being AoSHQ).
But there’s a lot of blogs that sort of ride in the middle. You just aren’t sure of their policy. The obvious first step is to look over some posts to see if the blog owner drops and f-bomb or whatnot.
But barring mentioned methods, do you ask ? If you ask, do you ask via email or just throw it in a comment (like I did just a few minutes ago on another site)? Or maybe just drop a damn or shit and wait for a reaction ?
Anyhow, to make things perfectly clear. On this website, any form of profanity goes. I don’t much give a shit about offending readers. Especially since I only have about a dozen of them and they all came here looking at the Hooker of the Week or the Booze of the Week.
Anyway, I just want y’all to know, this is a FREE FIRE ZONE.
First SMD Soldering
Well, here it is. I finally got the nerve (and the board) to try hand soldering a damned tiny microcontroller to an adapter board. It really wasn’t that hard, however at this point I don’t actually know if it works.
Watch Europe and see into the future
From scotsman.com via doubleplusundead:
in perhaps the greatest assault yet on Scotland’s traditional pub culture – bar staff are being told to stop asking patrons if they’d like “the same again”.
What the fuck?
The move is the result of new licensing laws coming into force next Tuesday to clamp down on “irresponsible promotions”.
Again I ask, what the fuck ?
Bars and restaurants are being warned that offers such as “buy two glasses of wine and get the rest of the bottle free” should not be displayed. They have also been warned that they should not offer free drinks to customers, perhaps because they have waited too long for a meal, it is understood.
Ok … so we’ve (or they’ve) gotten to the point that advertising booze is bad. That’s fucking retarded but it gets even worse. Now they’ve decided that simply asking you if you want a fucking drink is advertising ? Every time you think nanny-stating can’t get worse … it does.
Hooker of the Week Bonus (Theft Edition)!
This image was Creatively Borrowed from Woody. Who, by the way, just had his One Year Blogiversery.
The term Creatively Borrowed was blatantly stolen from Steamboat McGoo.
Booze of the Week
Overall, not bad. The best use I found for it was mixed with pineapple juice.
SPCA Exec kills a dog
From the AP:
An executive for an anti-animal cruelty group says her 16-year-old blind and deaf dog died after she accidentally left him in her hot car for four hours.
… accidentally … Do you figure that excuse would work for you ?
The board of the SPCA says it still supports Starr, who has been CEO since 1997 and does not plan to resign. It was unclear whether she would be charged.
Well, what the fuck ? unclear ? Why is it ever unclear whether or not someone who obviously committed an offense will be charged ?
How did this take so long ?
Gift for the geek in your life.
You too can smell like a Trekkie
Its been 4 months since I quit smoking
I would probably kill you for a smoke.
The dangers of cigarettes below the fold.
