How do they make bookahol? Mix old books, water and yeast and then wait a few weeks?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

The glue they use to bind the books can be processed.

It may not look as intellectual, but would simply sniffing the glue not work better?

The process is similar to that used to make Stone Soup.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Edit: oops ... meant to post this on the Site Suggs and Buggs Forum. I plead insomnia ... 15 hours ago was about 7am here, and I was sleepless, using the computer to keep warm in a record-breaking (for northern Thailand) rainy weather anomaly with temperatures around 50F/11C (like Seattle, it was, and is today).
I just noticed this (is it a recent "feature" ?).
If everyone harvesting the strange fruit in the gardens of QA down-voted with wisdom and parsimony (hallelujah !), then I'd be fine with this
Unfortunately, down-voting behavior on QA (the forums I hang out on) is, imho, as immoderate and out-of-control as the behavior of many regular respondents (including, sad-to-say, some MVP's).
So, imho, this lagniappe of popped-up nugatory, is of little value, and, may have the effect ... not sure about this ... of discouraging reading the questions.
thanks, Bill

Bill, for Ghu's sake will you spit out that dictionary, hard enough for native speakers, non english speakers must dread trying to decipher what the hell you mean.

Well put, Bill. I feel that the temptation to be dictatorial on the Q&A forum needs to be resisted. Members should be free to post and answer questions without being bullied by others who think they know what’s best for them. To me, passing judgement on posters, when nothing is known about them or their circumstances, is somewhat unfair. Surely, virtue is not found by deprecating the needy but by offering them unconditional help?

Bill, I only up-vote with wisdom and parsimony, never down-vote ...
actually I did it even 2x today

Hm, I don't see anything when I mouse-hover over the link to a question in QA. Where are you seeing this?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

After the first 30 or 40 cm fall, snow can really suck.
After the next 30 or 40 cm fall, one simply glares stupidly at the sky, wondering whatever was done by whom to deserve this.

I love looking at the wintery Snowfall.... in the web from San Diego

Yup. You guys have it easy. If the snow falls and drifts too high, you just shake the ground for a while so everything settles down nice and flat.
(There's no place safe, is there?)

If you're referring to earthquakes, there was a 4.1 close to here this weekend. No one even notices unless it's >= 6.9.
My brother lives in Florida. His wife is terrified of coming to California because of earthquakes. Yet she lives in a state that is routinely hit with 3 or 4 hurricanes every year.
A quake big enough to mean anything happens rarely and rarely cause significant damage. See The Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989[^]. Compare to the 7.1 quake in Alaska this weekend[^] which cause little damage.
Hurricanes happens EVERY YEAR and cause billions in damage.
I don't get her fear.

You do see the humor in getting so used to earthquakes you ignore the small ones? Maybe that Florida lady isn't all that crazy. No one tends to ignore hurricanes - even small one.

People ignore small earthquakes because they're barley felt and cause no damage.
Even a 'small' hurricane causes damage.
