  • Even more evil would be to properly fry the sprouts, hence making them tasty. Then coating them with the chocolate camo.

    The downside being that you would need to time it right to prevent the victim from getting stale stuff.

  • By UPS at work, I meant one that takes up half a server room filled with transformer and battery units. The fans are not loud enough to be heard outside the room. But the high pitched sound (possibly coil whine) could be heard 2 rooms over.

  • Yeah, in your case, the most I see could be done, is to remove the address that gives an unreachable response and add it to a list which can be referred to, right before a mail to the next record's address is sent (to not retry duplicates).

    Or maybe use some AI mumbo-jumbo to determine availability.

    Of course, I can also think of using DNS records to precheck if the domain name exists, but I would think they would mostly be parked domains anyway, so maybe not.

  • That's a fun new way to do it.
    I was relying on being able to accelerate my fingers fast enough, normally, to make the sound and realised that in that case, leaving out the index finger and only using the other 3 fingers made it easier.

    But flailing around the arm makes it possible to clap faster, making a more natural sounding clap. So nice

  • I have that too, but it requires a much higher intensity than just going out in the sun.
    i.e. I need to have slept for a while in the dark and then come out and stare at the Sun to get the ACHOO.

    Also, I once looked straight at a solar eclipse (don't tell my mother :P) for a few seconds and my eyes were still better than most other people for many years.

  • My nose is specially sensitive to stuff like deodorants and synthetic perfumes, formaldehyde and other paint smells, the stuff from Odonil™, WD 40 etc. I feel like, if I wanted to train myself to detect non-lethal doses of HCN, I might manage it.

  • Well, light degrades into heat. I feel it too, for the high powered ones. I have my bicycle headlights and can feel the heat wherever they hit me.

    Oh you can hear the expensive ones too? Nice. Not sure about your case, but for me, it is low enough to be useful but not distracting. You can let a bit more of your ear wax build up, which should help reduce it a bit.

  • As a child I was told by my parents that using headphones (circum aural) would destroy my hearing. They preferred me using earphones (in ear) instead.
    I kept using headphones.

    I'm way past the teens and can still hear the tubelights (the new ones, only from very close, when other things are silent) and the old flat screen CRT. Also, the whine from the UPS at the previous workplace, which most other couldn't hear, but for me, was pretty loud.

    The difference was that my headphone volume tended to be at 10 - 20% while other people went out to dance parties with continuous loud music (I didn't).

  • I can clap each of my hands individually.

    In other words, snap using 3 or 4 fingers at a time, without relying on the thumb to coil the muscles. That seems doable with a bit of prctc. Let me know if you meant something else.

    If I yawn the wrong way (usually when turning my head), my hyoid bone shifts and gets stuck. I have to move it back in place by hand, carefully.

    I just tried the same thing. Felt a pull on one of my joints the wrong way. Not going to try turning my head any further and will be careful not to turn my head while yawning from now. Yes, that was scary.

    I have dysgraphia.

    Due to how I learnt to write when I started using a pen, any long term writing causes my thumb movement muscles to cramp up, making me have to stop writing.
    I also seem to have something related to dysgraphia, but it's much milder than as depicted in the image in the Wikipedia article. So, the glyph metrics don't match. I still use cursive though, just because I'm used to it. It's also much milder than your example, though I do tend to have times when characters get switched or entangled.

  • Go instead with:

    Humans helping the global warming demons is causing the polar ice cap gods to become weaker, who in turn are unable to contain the cold yin winds in the poles, causing them to move to your house.

  • Darn it

    Jump
  • What the hell is a soda fountain if not the dispenser that still exists in every fast food restaurant and bar in the world?

    It's probably about the artistic structures they were encased in, matching (or maybe not matching) the ambience of the place.
