Anyone got some good replacement swears to replace the typical religious variety?

  • The Wheel of Time has some great ones too.

    Blood and bloody ashes

    Mother's milk in a cup

    Son of a goat's left stone.

    See also: Battlestar Galactica

    Oh and Firefly, although a lot of that is in Mandarin.

    • This red traffic light is a heart

  • Too many trees, but I agree it's a beautiful, friendly city.

    • Assuming we live in a simulation, at which layer are we ?

  • When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

    • Europe goes into daylight saving time despite controversy

  • I've had way too many conversations with people that simply can't comprehend how that works. "But then we'd have to do everything so much earlier, it would be dark all the time." I try to explain that we'd still do everything at the same time of day, just call it something different, but they just can't wrap their minds around that.

    • Vance slams Denmark for not keeping Greenland safe from Russia, China

  • Same as it ever is. Their Russian handlers and their mouth breathing, Nazi loving supporters.

    • U.S. officials went door-to-door in Greenland to find anyone who wanted to be visited by the Vances. They found no one

  • You might even say he's extra manly; so manly he wants to spend all his time with men and as little time as possible with women.

    • Here, have some unpleasant knowledge about Mario.

  • Perhaps they're carried. It would be pretty easy to grip them by the husk.

    • Could Microsoft/the USA technically turn off Windows and Office for Europe?

  • Oh, so just another Patch Tuesday then.

    • How would you know if you ate a bad prune?

  • If your monkey dies, the dates were bad, not sure if it works for prunes though.

    • The different ways a tire can be unaligned

  • In certain driving conditions it can improve cornering, but for most cases, oem recommended angles are best. Extreme negative camber is purely cosmetic and wears out your tires in weird ways.

    • Did you (like me) take up drinking Earl Grey because it was Picard's beverage?

  • I did. And also got into lapsang souchong because of an interview with Patrick Stewart where he mentioned it's his favorite type along with Yorkshire Gold. He asked to use that on the show, but the producers thought it would be too obscure or hard to remember and changed it to Earl Grey.

    • what’s a pun in your language, the english translation, and do you think it makes sense in english or has an english equivalent?

    • Are there any words that you pronounce in a way that seems weird to most people?

  • Midwest where? I don't know if Michigan counts but I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way.

    • Cloud Free Smart Home

  • I like my Denon Heos setup: 2 TVs, home theater, receiver in my office connected to my computer and speakers in 7 other locations. Works great with Music Assistant, and doesn't require a cloud connection. It can pull firmware updates if you want but I've blocked all Internet access for those devices with no loss of functionality.

    • You have one (1) free teleportation that must be used within the next 24 hours or it disappears forever. Do you use it? Where do you go?

  • The problem would be getting it back out. The post only says 1 teleport, nothing about getting home again.

    • Ukraine asks NATO for membership invite next week, letter shows

  • Accession to NATO usually requires border disputes to be resolved. Last I knew Canada, the US and Turkey were also standing in the way.

    • Microsoft faces wide-ranging US antitrust probe

  • For about a month until it's shut down as insufficiently worshipful to our corporate overlords.

    • All the other brands went along

  • MAC is useless as a component of the security check. It's trivial to change; either with a dongle, as you said, or in the network configuration of every major and minor OS.

    • Canada's provincial leaders want a free trade deal with the US that excludes Mexico

  • Wow that headline. While it's factually true I guess, it's not at all representative of what's stated in the article. They conveniently leave out that they want a separate deal with Mexico. More decoupling than excluding.

    • Microsoft Teams is dog shit

  • Skype was a steaming pile for sure, but it had the ability to search for and message a distribution group and get an answer from whomever was available and I could pin it for future use. Now I have to know every name in a group and message them individually until I find someone to help or start a meeting to get everyone at once. It may just be how our Teams instance is configured, but I miss that feature. And who decided there should be a limit on how many people I can pin in Teams?
