kbobam Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Not 'junk' literally. I just meant the title to sound 'teenage casual', like 'Nature and Stuff' or 'Nature and Bleep'. ( : I've always liked this phenomenon, though I haven't seen it often. Not sure what sequence of events leads to it, but every once in a while you get this situation where certain leaves get water drops on them and there's something that just isn't 'right' about it. There are simply way too many drops, and some of them are too big and some are too small. It's kind of neat looking. Like natural Scotch-Guard.

Steph Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Can practically feel myself out in the leaves .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nuts. Just realized that I actually wrote "though" without an apostrophe in front of it. And that spell-check apparently thinks this is a proper word. I can feel the 'old and crotchety' mood coming on already. But don't worry! I'm not going to do any more 'sharing' (yuck) around here until I'm back to my normal happy-go-lucky self! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 What is wrong with "though"? Seriously. Not just taunting the curmudgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's just a way for people who are too busy on their phones solving the world's problems with intelligent questions like "Where u at?" to avoid the horrendous effort of using a two-syllable word like "although". I told you I was going to be in a mood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 And though she be but little, she is fierce. ― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream Will is okay with it. So I'm okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoody Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Oh, Shakespeare. There is always this question around "[...] to be or not to be [...]". I found an answer some years ago in depths of the web: 0xFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 But what does "0xFF" mean? Other than the number 255 .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 No, identical to number 255 Okay, the whole story is: to be or not to be => two 'B' or not two 'B' => 0x2B | ~ 0x2B And for those unaware of progamming languages: the literal "0x" says that the following is a hexadecimal number, not a decimal. "|" is the OR-operator (binary), "~" is the NOT-operator (also binary). The complete construction says to logical OR each bitposition with its inverse resulting in all '1's to be present in the result. Considering 8 bits we and up with 0xFF (255 in usual decimal notation, some calculators tell it -1 which is just a different interpretation). '-1' - just one life to loose when you die creeps in my mind now ... Hope you still enjoy the pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
