I doubt there's anything that can be done about it, but I'm a little amused at how our code-tidying code can't tell the difference between a t b tag and a t br tag, and when I post poems or song lyrics or things that require a lot of t br tags, it goes around unbolding my line breaks.

Not a problem, obviously. Just an observation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gus has already fixed that in his lab. (See "tidy" conversation above).

I just haven't had a chance to install it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Is the code tidying operating? Because if it is, it's been missing stuff.

Oh! Cool! Thanks, ita!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Y'know what would be nice? If, on the editprofile page, the [closed] thing appeared after all closed thread names. I like to clean up my message center periodically, and the first ones I deselect are closed threads, but I always have to double check that I'm not deselecting the wrong ones.

Skipped about 650 posts to add a nickety-pickety note of zero consequence that may already have been discussed.

No how. Machines just got workings, and they talk to me.
Kaylee, 'Serenity'

This quote is, I believe, missing a K and a w. Pretty sure Kaylee is saying "(I) know how."

Beej, this is how it's spelled in the script ("Serenity" - the pilot):

Simon: You're pretty young to be a ship's mechanic.
Kaylee: No how. Machines just got workings, and they talk to me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Oh, I get it. As in the old "Not no way, not no how," meaning in this case "I'm not too young." Jewel Staite didn't deliver the line with enough indignation to make this meaning come across to me either. Like Beej, I heard it as "[I do too] know how [to be a mechanic]."

In-ter-esting. Inflection is everything...or sometimes not.

Thanks for the correction on something I bet you've had to answer a hundred times. sorry

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Has anyone else been having problems, the last couple of weeks, with the site just hanging? It doesn't time out, just hangs. I keep getting it, both at home and at work, so it's probably not my ISP.
