I'd never really thought about until now, but do Chinese (specifically mandarin speaking) 3 year olds use Ma in place of the English speaking equivalent of "why" (repeated ad nauseum until the adult being questioned snaps!)?

It's either Nasal or Aural, and I'm actually not sure which would least worst

I actually disagree with that, if I saw a larger gentleman wearing this I'd feel proud of him for owning his thing with self-depracating humour, and think it was funny, the same as I do here.

It's Latin for "a person not welcome"

Yes, particularly as I get older the equipment doesn't drain fully and needs a little help.

There's a rhyme about it "no matter how much you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants", well I choose to wipe instead of relying on the absorbance of my pants or trousers (the original saying is American so means trousers really).

At the end of the article, which is already a litany of clownish buffoonery, it states that after destroying (effectively) the MRI machine in order to retrieve the rifle, he failed to retrieve a loaded magazine. So it was just left on the floor as they left.

Edit: autocorrect had changed it to clownfish

Unfortunately masks are most effective when the person with COVID wears them, rather than people who are trying to avoid COVID, but human nature is such that people with COVID (ones who go out in public) are often ones least worried about it so least likely to wear a mask in the first place.

I had a similar experience where I went to a conference and masked up religiously around groups only to catch it anyway while my colleagues didn't mask and didn't catch it.

Sometimes you can do everything right and still fail (paraphrasing Picard).

If he were my boss I'd ignore him during work hours too, tbh.

 

I've heard of Pythonistas and Rustaceans. What are some of the other names given to devs writing in, for example, PHP or C++. Appreciate any answers - both serious and joking.
