Oh, that one is actually not my faultā¦ itās just the universe expressing its sense of humor. But Iām glad Douglas Adams picked up on it, so more people can appreciate the universeās jokes.
* 101010, LOLOL
Not many people have noticed this, but old UNIX geeks and some of the folks who made the American Standard Code for Information Exchange (ASCII) also picked up on the universeās humor and embedded it into the codes weāre using right now on the internet. See, 42 is the answer, right? To Life, the Universe, and Everything?
In ASCII, character 42 is the asterisk, * , also known as āstarā or āsplatā or āglobā or āwildcardā. It is typically used in UNIX and related systems to mean āeverythingā. It will expand into whatever space is available, like how in Windows a *.* is used to match literally every file with a dot in it.
So they got in on the joke by representing the universeās favorite pun as a star, defined to representā¦ Everything. And now the universeās āLOLā is permanently embedded into the very fabric of the internet.
But I canāt take credit for this one. I just appreciate the joke.
OOps sorry did not answer this (so good to have to work through all posts when udating lists, 352 post checked just now and a shame I missed this before
It was answered though, but here goes:
When done, we will snd a personal message with link and code to use on Banggood.
Lol. 500 posts behind but decided to jump to the end, I have no idea what is going on. All I can say is nice banter and keep up the good work! :student:
Thanks RobāB. I just checked it out, minimum $36 worth of plants. Thatās too expensive for an experiment. Not everything grows well up here in Maine with our short growing season. Iāll wait for the seeds and just grow habaneros this year.
What you didnāt read all?!?
Heheh I had no idea small parts like resistors and now springs could be so exciting, these discussion and education rampages have proven more exciting then blockbuster movies for me
Yes. Did I mention how we have a short growing season? They needed to be started in February to have a chance for this season. Next year I can plant seeds. If the plants hadnāt been so darn expensive and I needed to buy a 6 pack I would have gone that route. If Tom doesnāt want to send me a few seeds heās under no obligation to.
Plan on making a nice small nursery
Or better, wanted to use the elevator since we donāt use it except for heavy stuff and it is a nice 1*1*2,50 box in the center of house with its shoot and thick metal door and power available for the aquarium pump and heating and grow light
My wife wonāt have it so we plan on making a relatively south facing part of the old side shed a small greenhouse.
About 5 meter long, 1,8m deep in a lot of sun when the trees have shed leaves.
For the citrus plants in winter and for me to make the nursery there
That roof needs work, beams need replacing so why not make it all glass the October job
But I agree seeds are too late now and it is cool to have seed from friends
But is this pepper not a hybrid F plant? Then seed might not work right.
David you are right chances are something useful will grow but buying the hybrid seeds ensures you get what you want and not a yellow sweet paprika or something in this case. Tom what else is growing in the same family?
I got seeds direct from Pucker Butt Pepper Company, all this talk made me remember the packet clipped to my calendar so I planted them yesterday along with some Bolivian Rainbow Peppers. The seed packet had 8 seeds in it! So generous! We have a Very Long growing season, so I should have a lot of peppers if all goes well. Iāll get the plants started then move em outside in full sun so they can absorb a couple of months of 100Āŗ Texas sunshine. Yāll remind me later and Iāll send some peppersā¦ these are a cultivar of the Habanero and should yield way more peppers than I can use, for sure!
Donāt worry, thatās common when Iām having fun.
I might have an overdeveloped appreciation for the surreal.
TL;DR: Only a few little details remain before the Q8 should be ready to ship.
ā¦ and speaking of āsurrealā and āshipā:
Are you familiar with the fanfic meaning of the word āshipā?
Itās short for ārelationshipā, a romantic pairing of characters who are not involved in that manner in the original work. Normally used as a verb, as in āI ship Draco/Hermioneā to imply that one wants or may even be writing a fanfic about a relationship between two Harry Potter characters. The slash often refers to āslash ficā, defined as āA work of fiction (especially fanfiction) based on celebrities or fictional characters involved in a romantic and/or sexual relationship, especially where the sexual orientation of a (usually straight) canonical character has been changed.ā
In this context, one millihelen would be the amount of beauty required to launch one āshipā, as in one romantic fanfiction.
In a BLF context, one millihelen is the amount of energy required to launch one romantic BLF fanfiction āshipā, such as āI ship Tom E / BrianK, a couple of pepper penpal buddies whose relationship developed over time into something a little spicier.ā Or perhaps a āshipā involving JasonWW and parallel-universe-JasonWW, whose mutual love for longer, harder, um, springs, motivates them to explore the bleeding edge of increasingly greater compression ranges in order to fight the evils of sagging over time from old age. Of course, none of this would be an issue if people would just use protection.
ā¦ Wow, thatās one sad forum. It appears that the entire thing exists for advertising purposes ā an English-language forum targeted at aspiring sailors in India, using the allure of answers and education to sell some guyās e-books. The linked sub-forum is almost entirely SEO spam from third parties.
It really reminds me of how good we have it here. I <3 BLF.
