Dammit. Now I'm poking through the stupid optical illusion site. Which has an RSS feed...
Must say, this image from this post is nifty.
And now I must back away smoothly and slowly from that site, lest it entrap me further.

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

Technical question which belongs outside of Buffistechnology: How many of you who don't consider yourselves computer geeks know what RSS is and use it at least once a week? If you use a feed in LJ, this may be you.
Me. Though I don't actually know what RSS stands for. Except maybe there's a syndication in there.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Hey, you learn something new every day!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Though I don't actually know what RSS stands for. Except maybe there's a syndication in there.
You're right on target, actually -- it stands for several things, some of which have a syndication in there. (Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary, or RDF Site Summary, or RDF Syndication Specification...).

Our wings are not tired.
I ran a BBS in San Diego in the middle to late 80's. It was one of the earlier boards in the area to go to 2400 baud. That was when USRobotics offered a discount on 2400 baud courier modems to BBS Sysops.
Yes! You and the guy that ran our board no doubt communicated with each other. I didn't run the board at our place. I just checked it out often. We still used the old courier modems for faxes long after they were obsolete. They never died.
Kind of makes me miss the days when computers were mostly fun and not so much work for me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm not a tech geek and my blog has an RSS feed, and I use a feed for some stuff, when I remember to subscribe.

Me. Though it's through LJ.

Dog is my co-pilot.

I know what it is, but I don't use it yet. Been thinking about it.
I've been online since the early '90s. The Internet was the first place I found fellow vegetarians. I ended up being a sysop in or running vegetarian forums on several online services. My early experiences also led me invite an Australian family of four to stay with me for four days during their American vacation and to join a group of local and out of town inline skaters for a trip around Washington, DC. (I was out of my league, but they made sure I survived.)
I know a good mom would be all worried and wanting to stay with him to hold him and snuggle him and feed him. But seriously? I'm like, "WHEW! opportunity to have a good night's sleep!"
But a smart mom would take the time to sleep and recharge. And a smart mom is a good mom. Sleep well!

Oh, I forgot my acquired tastes meara -
Casu marzu, a Sardinian cheese containing live insect larvae
I'm sorry, but... ack! And also,
Hákarl, putrefied Iceland shark
Ack!
Head cheese, a dish made of meat from an animal's skull covered with gelatin (usually set in a mold)
Never knew head cheese was made from actual heads.
Root beer, an herbal flavored soft drink
Seriously? Who doesn't like root beer? (Go on, I know you're out there...)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I actually don't like a lot of root beers, because of the overly sweet.
Of course, I am also craving marzipan right now, and you can't get much sweeter than that.
