That's a rough weed.
How long did you bike today?
Yeah, those things actually exist. They aren't just in the movies.

Good to know. :)
Birds with long legs and a penchant for avoiding long stringy wires and falling safes too ? :unsure:
Roadrunners do exist, and to my knowledge none has ever been hit by a falling safe.

So that's a non-zero probability ? :P

The birds, yeah they exist. They are really small.
I've known people who, when they move to Wyoming, send tumbleweeds back to relatives as special gifts...
It is kind of empty and dry here...
Believe it or not we have them here too, though I wouldn't say they're common by any means.
Though terrible, it was pretty funny when my little cousin was taken out by a tumbleweed.
The damn things are everywhere. They're dead sage bushes and juniper.

I might have to appropriate that.
This is pretty good Giff

Hardly a surprise that there wasn't a flurry of posts when North America was sleeping in on Sunday morning. ;)
Lately we've been having quite a row in my department on whether to pronounce GIF with a soft or hard G. Apparently both ways are acceptable.

Hard G.
A soft G is a J and that is peanut butter.
That's how I've always said it.
Which one?

They are in Jaron's workplace and to anyone who doesn't mind sounding like a tech noob.
BTW, is it acceptable to pronounce SQL as "s-q-l" rather than Sequel? Seems I've heard people do that before.

You can date how old a person is by what they call it.
To my mind, the hard G makes sense as using a soft G introduces confusion eg how do you spell it, is that as in the toilet cleaner etc.

I've always said it like it is jif. Though thankfully that doesn't come up often.

I don't say it like the peanut butter. I say it like gif (not jif). Most people I know say it that way, but the guy who created the format pronounces it like jif and a few people I work with say it like that.
We have a lot of little discussions like that. S-Q-L or Sequel, W-S-D-L or WSDL. The only one we all agree on is WYSIWYG. :P
Most of the developers I work with don't use letters but pronounce these things like a single word.

I say SQL. How old am I?
I'll make it easier...I don't even know what the fuck that is. A computer code language I guess?
Yes, for databases.
