Yeah, but in Griff's case, it would be: I pine fir ewe.

@OriginalGriff, if you "pine fir [me]" then the subject should be "Thought of the Gay"!
Now, I kid you not, before I clicked into CP.com just a few minutes ago, I was thinking of a variation on "Thought of the Day", such as "Thought of the Gay" (of the 1940's definition...)
Then, I saw your post and belted out the hugest laugh I've done in a while; this, because it can be taken for the 2nd definition of "pining" for someone:
If you "pine" for someone, you desperately want to see them, be with them, or perhaps smother them with kisses. If you're texting your ex-boyfriend over 50 times a day, there's a pretty good chance that you still pine for him.
In Old English, pine meant "to torture or cause to experience pain," which seems quite fitting if you've known what it's like to pine for something or someone.
The other definition:
The verb pine should not be confused with the noun pine, as in the evergreen tree.
If you are from the Northeast or Northwest (U.S.) and find yourself living in the Caribbean, you may pine for the sight of a pine tree, but the lovely weather should ease the pain.

This clearly stems from a deep-rooted problem; what happens if you leaf off tree-ment for serious problems.

I was taking a look at the following article:
JavaScript 'this' Keyword - Under the Hood[^]
Someone voted it a 1 but there is no comment, but whenever I try to rate someone a 3 or lower I have to add a comment.
I would like to know the reason the person voted it a 1 so I can quickly understand if the article is wrong or if it was just someone being mean-spirited.
So, how is that possible that they voted 1 without any comment?
Thanks
EDIT : UPDATE
The article/tip was deleted. Hmm...That seems right.

It is easy to vote it a 1; and the quality of the 'article' is not very good at most.

I agree 100%. But how did someone do that without leaving a comment? Just curious.

Some people are indeed mean spirited, just move past it and concentrate on any constructive criticisms. This topic has been debated many time before and it appears as though there is no acceptable solution.

I was just curious how it was technically possible to vote without leaving a comment.
I thought CP forced a comment to be left if someone votes 3 or less.
Thanks

I think it worked that way at some point, but was removed probably due to retaliation voting.
|

I believe there have been times where it was not required when voting with a low number. So, it may be an old vote. Could be wrong though.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

To be honest, I'd be more worried about the people who gave it five...

Agreed. Just curious about it. Thanks for your input.

I've had to look at that "article" four times in the last two days:
First when it appeared in the moderation queue as a full article, and I wasn't sure if it was plagiarised or not (still suspect it was).
Then when it got through - Gawd knows how - and it got upvoted! And then rightfully killed as "extremely poor quality".
Then when it reappeared in the moderation queue as a tip.
And finally when it got through as that - and it got upvoted twice!
I can only assume that the OP has a sock puppet - but down votes were certainly deserved to counter attempts to make it look like quality, and I notice that they didn't post comments either...
Fortunately, it's gone now - and hopefully it won't be back!

Any vote can be without comment...In the case of this article I'm more concerned of that two 5 votes (without comment too)...

I looked at the article this morning hoping to learn something, and discovered it was not really anything about "this" but just that "this" is an operator, not a variable. It got what it deserved, IMHO.

What's amazing is how the guy managed to write that many paragraphs with such minimal content. An under the hood look at how JavaScript engines internally manage the "this" reference would have been interesting.

Currently there is a massive thunderstorm here in Indiana. In December. And our house leaks.
Argh...
Edit: the storm has passed and I was able to retrieve the patio chair that had blown into the yard and was terrifying the puppy.
Yes we have a new Irish Wolfhound puppy.
