      Welcome!   03/05/2016

      Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change.  If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away.  I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

    Wait… Could Pandora rationalise that re-empowering the other side by clearing the clog is empowering, and that the necessary double effect of disempowering Moperville counts as part of said re-empowering?
  3. More Speculation.

    This is the wild theory thread. Or rather its de facto post-Crash successor.
  4. Story: Monday, August 8, 2016

    …I've generally heard "childlike" and "childish" as distinct attributes: "childlike" meaning the virtue described in Matthew 18:2-4 and "childish" meaning the vice as partly described in 1 Corinthians 13:11.

  6. Corrupt a Wish

    Cat says "no more" during her bath! I wish to make it more than a dream.
  7. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    -- http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1028 Also Pandora's "I saved your students" line in that strip is interesting, suggesting that she wasn't intending them to be in any way hurt, dangerous as her plan may have appeared.
  8. Depends on the balls. Reproductive organs are, when compared to soccer, rugby and gridiron footballs, to say nothing of tennis, net, basket, cricket, golf and ping-pong balls, as one might say, an entirely different ballgame. There is no need to assume that everyone is thinking about baseball here.

    For some reason, the old "Tells a chemistry joke: no visible reaction." comes to mind. Probably because of the context I have most often heard "no visible change" in relatively recently.
  10. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    Of simple polynomials, rather than requiring integration by parts?
  11. Games of the XXXI Olympiad

    Side note: here in England, roads within a city do likewise twist around the place from what I've seen; grid-plans don't seem to be a very English thing to use. Might relate to the age of the settlements?

  13. What Are You Doing Right Now?

    Hmm… I'm not especially versed with Haskell. I was aware of Pandoc's existence, but I was initially writing for the very niche MD-to-BBCode case (which it doesn't list supporting). My more recent additions are along the lines of Emoji and emoticon conveniences (this is why I came up with a Demonic Duck PUA encoding) and on Rubi markup, Japanese Kana from romanisation, and Chinese character from Cangjie features. ….as I mentioned, I have HTML output flags specific to this forum (I worked on that following the BBCode writer ceasing to be useful due to The Crash). But while we're here:

    Edit: oh my actual…
  15. What Are You Doing Right Now?

    Related note: I do have something I have been working on which is a package and command-line app, in Python 2, for reading a variant of Markdown (Read: basic Markdown features, some features seen elsewhere, plus pretty much anything else I wanted to add - much of which can be disabled with parser flags) and outputting to HTML (fragment or document depending on writer flags), BBCode, MediaWiki and TVTropes wikitexts, and a (more) orthodox Markdown. There is even an HTML writer flag attempting spoilers compatible with this forum, added post-crash. If you gain the ability to script posting to the forum, these could go together to some extent…
  16. What Are You Ingesting?

    Musing: If it's a romanisation, there often isn't one system of romanisation, and if we were sticking with ISO standards we would end up with such spellings as "ninzya" (ninja). Looks it up Hmmm… no, actually, it seems to be a which-country-are-you-using-the-spelling-of thing. WP appears to use mostly Goulash, but gives gulyás as the original Hungarian, gullash as Albanian, gulaš as Croatian, guláš as Czech and Slovak, Gulasch as German (there you are), gulasz as Polish, golaž as Slovene.

    Those are only the post-Crash Forum sources… there was more extensive discussion pre-Crash. Pre-crash Twitter sources remain intact, but I shan't quote them all: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40dantheshive+Cranium+Sarah&src=typd

    It has come up before a few times. It is entirely possible.

    Odd. Button shows up for me when editing: (disclaimer that my GM script is running so that's not why the text is showing up) (I have updated my page on the matter in response to this new information)
  21. NP, Friday July 29, 2016

    Presumably, that was also a distant inspiration for the pyramids?
  22. Story: Wednesday, July 27, 2016

    More a HTML4-Strict thing. HTML5 no longer marks <b> and <i> as deprecated, although it does restrict their use to non-emphatic semantic purposes (ship/species names, alternate moods, etc) - where <strong> and <em> would be incorrect but there is still semantic need for the emboldening/italicisation.
  23. Last Post Wins

    … Is that solid mese? *Attempts to lift the win, and it slips back out of my hand to its previous position.* "Block 314, 633, 485 is owned by Lee John Roy Sina McSceneface-Jenkins." Ah……
