Ich denke, ich werde mich auch mal durchringen mitzumachen. So in der Simon-Dach-Straßen-Ecke würde ich prima finden. Das nur mal zur Konsensfindung; ich bin für ungefähr alles offen.
Chit-Chat » Do animals in different places speak with an accent? » Before someone digs out the cows story...
LemmiSchmoeker 14 yrs ago

Chit-Chat » Anyone trying to quit smoking? » I don't favour manipulation...
LemmiSchmoeker 14 yrs ago
...but if someone tells me - outright - that he will manipulate me into stopping smoking, then I really don't see what should be bad about that. I think it's part of the brainwashing smokers have subjected themselves to.…

LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago | 1 replies
They haven't deleted it, just switched back from it being the default. You can still add the above to any YouTube video URL to get the new look. Example: Normal URL www.youtube.com/watch?v=63sOJPiaSxM "New Look…
Chit-Chat » Inspired by =^.^=, share your latest earworm » A tip:
LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago
I have found that for some reason, "Popcorn" by Hot Butter immediately displaces any other earworm you might have. The great thing is that Popcorn is so simple I can always remember it. It works for at least one of frien…

Site Questions: Basic and Advanced » Controlled Releases not working? » Well, one *could* see it that way
LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago | 1 replies
But it should be made a lot clearer, if you ask me. With all that JavaScript it would be possible to check this a step earlier and maybe give a little explanation. But in any case - if you know how, then it works, so …

LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago | 3 replies
Thanks! Now is that one of the glitches that will be eventually resolved, or just a temporary bug? (Do you know at all?)
Site Questions: Basic and Advanced » Controlled Releases not working?
LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago | 5 replies
I'm having trouble with COntrolled Releases: the site keeps asking me for a location and goes back to the location selection, even though I have selected one (or I wouldn't be able to proceed anyway). This creates a circ…

Site Questions: Basic and Advanced » Searching by author's last name - is it possible? » Multiple names
LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago

Chit-Chat » Sarcasm --- my favorite thing! » Well, no, they aren't by the same person
LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago
I know that #8 is by Jack Handey (the genius of absurd aphorisms) and #20 is by Steven Wright. I think I've heard some of the others before as well, but definitely not all of them. (And I like most, so, yeah, thanks!)
Feature Requests » Bookshelf sort option for "Current holder"
LemmiSchmoeker 15 yrs ago | 9 replies

LemmiSchmoeker 16 yrs ago | 8 replies
