Suffix Jokes And Puns

From the fun book "Etymologicon" by Mark Forsyth:

> If a gem frequently sparks, we say that it sparkles. If a burning log frequently emits cracking noises, then it crackles. That’s because –le is a frequentative suffix. With this in mind, let’s turn to grunting. To gruntle is to grunt often. If a pig makes one noise it has grunted, if it grunts again you may add the frequentative suffix and call the pig a gruntler. A medieval travel writer called Sir John Mandeville described the men who live in the desert near the Garden of Eden thus: In that desert are many wild men, that are hideous to look on; for they are horned, and they speak not, but gruntle, as swines do. But the dis- in disgruntled is not a negative prefix but an intensive one. If the verb already carries negative connotations (and something that makes you keep grunting is probably no good), then the negative dis just emphasises how bad it is. Disgruntled therefore means almost the same thing as gruntled.

Happy Monday!

You know what I mean, right? Cyberpunk, steampunk, dungeonpunk, solarpunk, sailpunk, whateverpunk. When you see that attached to an RPG, what does it tell you about the game?

I want to test the waters on how people view it and the efficacy of using it to describe a game. I am concerned that my view of punk is not commonly shared.

I hesitate to share my view and taint opinions, but to me, punk at its core is about how you, as an individual, matter. It is a strange blend of rugged individualism and collectivism because it supposes that we are not all the same (and that not being the same is good), but that we all matter. The reason punks traditionally fight "the man" is because that kind of authoritarian figure tends to say both that everyone is the same and should be the same, and that nobody individually matters (usually except the elite), that the collective itself is more important than any individual (but of course they are the representative of the collective so they totally matter).

Edit: it is clear to me that using the word will not suit my purposes, but this discussion is really fascinating.

Hi /r/stata,

I've got an ugly but functional bit of code that I'm trying to make more efficient because I've got a lot of variables and a lot of values (many more than presented here). The interview questions are from a list but the order was random, so one case's Question1 differs from another case's Question1.

gen Communicate=999
replace Communicate=1 if Question1=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer1=="Y"
replace Communicate=1 if Question2=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer2=="Y"
replace Communicate=1 if Question3=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer3=="Y"
replace Communicate=1 if Question4=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer4=="Y"
replace Communicate=0 if Question1=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer1=="N"
replace Communicate=0 if Question2=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer2=="N"
replace Communicate=0 if Question3=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer3=="N"
replace Communicate=0 if Question4=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer4=="N"

I've read various examples of foreach and forvalues, but I couldn't get any of them to work here. Is there a way to do something like:

forvalues i=1/4 {
    replace Communicate=1 if Question'i'=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer'i'=="Y"
    replace Communicate=0 if Question'i'=="Were you able to communicate?"&Answer'i'=="N"
}

This didn't work because Question'i' is not valid. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Over the past few months, I have been hard at work updating the bulk exchange to be easier to use. Check out the new multi-buy from the same seller view.

Other updates:

• Thanks to GGG, prefix/suffix counts are now exposed in the API. This means that with the update, you will be able to search for open/used prefix/suffix counts with the following mods:
  • [pseudo] # Prefix Modifiers
  • [pseudo] # Empty Prefix Modifiers
  • [pseudo] # Suffix Modifiers
  • [pseudo] # Empty Suffix Modifiers
• Blighted maps will appear under a separate category in the exchange.
• Bug fixes and other performance updates.

Thanks for looking and good luck in Blight.

• There's sufficient supply of dildos for this to happen across the world.
• Anyone who isn't the intended target, but in the way of the flying dildo (including things, man made or otherwise), remains unharmed.
• No dildos would collide with each other during their flight.
• The target may get hurt, but they can't die as a result of the high speed dildo thrust.
• The word "fuck" can be used in any other context, just not in the context mentioned above. Or else the dildo fucks ass.
• After the dildo drops from the ass fuck, the victim has to keep the dildo as souvenir on display in their home for all guests to see.
• For self preservation, I'm rendered incapable of using "fuck" in this specific context. I'm free to use it in any other context.

Be creative. Let's see what you got.

I think you would start out as a little guy in a black suit and he would float up in a little hot air balloon-like thing, sitting in the basket, and he would land on a different level and get out. You would have to do little tasks on each level, like I feel like at some point you had to figure out how to fill up the balloon again so he could float up to the next level. Each level was like its own little tiny planet, and they each had different music. One level I remember had a really old guy maybe with a white beard sitting at a typewriter typing on sheets of paper and the papers would stack up really high. I remember playing it in the computer lab at my elementary school, probably between like 2006-2010ish maybe. It's killing me that I can't remember the name of the game or figure out how to find it.

Surely this is common knowledge, but I was hit with this realization for the first time while making dung pies today.

Mind blown.

Like if domus, is feminine, and the options for the plural form are (domī, masculine; doma, neuter) what option do I choose if neither of them are feminine?

Or perhaps I just choose DOMĪ since it is the plural of DOMUS by reasoning that the suffix of US turns to Ī?

Is that how it works or if there is no available gender in the options, I choose neuter?

Hello, I'm having some trouble figuring this out. Text to columns doesnt seem to be the right and Im not exactly a master of formulas.

Sample of Data Below.

Below is a list of telephone pole numbers in the Rochester NY area. Each with different amounts of information about there relative location. I am trying to get excel to split column D into 2 columns. House Number and Street. And to just leave the house number blank if there is no numerical data in the cell. When i try to delimit them with spaces using conditional formatting so cells split into 2 (Spring | Lane" and some split into more "106 | Gates | Greece | Townline | Road" I have tried changing the Format Cells to other types (Number, Text, General) and get the same result.

Basically what would I use to get excel to look from left to right until it finds the first alphabetical value and then split everything after that first letter. So my street and street suffix are still intact, but splits the house number and then everything after that into to columns.

Many thanks in advance. I am going to be driving there for a couple hours, so i will check when i get to the hotel.

I've played for over 50-60 hrs and have yet to see an item with rare prefix AND suffix. Usually either the prefix is green or the suffix is. Is it even possible to get it?

To the core supporters who say "oh but bcash hardforked so it's not bitcoin", you need to understand that bitcoin had multiple hard forks in the past without a name change. Separating signatures from transaction using segwit and changing this p2p currency into a store of value is not what bitcoin was meant to be so bitcoin core is not any more worthy of Bitcoin name than any other fork. In today's world there are multiple bitcoins (core, cash, gold etc) and they all need to be identified clearly. We owe this to newbies who are coming into bitcoin, and think BTC is the one and only.

I feel like that's on the pilots to make the call if they can do the approach or not. At work it's been a heated debate .

hey Tomato users/peers,

this week I've been working through some different configurations trying to get pihole going but keeping tomato as primary router & DHCP server;

having confusion over ".local" suffixes being thrown at the pihole for redirected DNS through the router; anyone have a similar setup?

I understand that -lik means a derivative of something else - iyilik means goodness but gözlük isn’t eyeness (though I suppose glasses kind could be seen as ‘eye stuff’...) So is it just the case that I’m going to need to learn what each individual -lik word means?

It’s just in my book, it’s been put together with -li and -siz but I can’t really see how -lik is similar to them. If şekerli and şekersiz are with sugar and without sugar, then şekerlik isn’t ‘sugaryness’ but rather sugar bowl...

Is there some sort of simple explanation to tell me what -lik generally means, or should I accept that each time it means something else?

Thank you in advance, çok teşekkürler.

I work in healthcare and built a database to search for a medications to package based on the bottle's barcode. The user would scan the bottle's barcode in the search field and it would pull up the programming to package that medication.

I currently have a user entered field in a query that pops up asking the user to scan the barcode. The scanner being used is a shared scanner that must place a backslash "\" before and after the data in another program that we can't change (example: \123456789\"

Is it possible to program access to remove the "\" from the scanned data?

I tried to craft one with Jagged Fossils but it never happend also i never saw a shield like this for sale. Do the mods block each other or is it possible to craft a total of 10% additional physical damage reduction?

He didn't get it though, so he just said "NaNi?!"

If a word ends with -tical, should the "-tical" suffix (disjoined loop) or the "-ical/-icle/-acle" suffix (disjoined K) be used?

Searching the dictionary, the following words use -ical suffix:

nautical optical practical skeptical tactical vertical

and the following words use -tical suffix:

alphabetical analytical arithmetical diacritical grammatical
pharmaceutical political sabbatical synthetical systematical
therapeutical

Ignoring the words use -stic-al suffix (optimistical, statistical, enthusiastical, mystical), those words have:

• Words with -ical don't have a vowel before the "t". ("nautical" and "vertical" are the exceptions? Because writing n-tical or v-tical is confusing? But why aren't they just written "no-tical" and "ve-tical"/"ver-tical"?).
• Words with -tical have a vowel before the "t".

Is that correct? (It's not explained anywhere in the manual. I looked at unit 32 but found nothing)
