What is the overall carbon footprint (or any other way to measure energy) of the time and energy spent by @CountValentine on politics and Kool-Aid arguments on DDF?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

That depends how you factor in multitasking.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Does time/energy spent on politics and Kool-Aid on DDF increase the productivity of other tasks or decrease them? That would be the only way to factor in multitasking.

When plastic plates/bowls sit for a few days they get this black coating on it. What is that?

It doesn't look like dust to me

What's "?s=21" (appears after some posted tweets)?
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

It's soot.  Plastics have more of an electrical charge than many other surfaces, so they attract more of the soot in the air, and if they're white plates, it's especially visible.  To minimize exposure to soot, keep the plasticware stacked in a closed plastic bag, and pull the ones you need out from the center of the stack. 

That's all well and good for the plates, of course, but the owner of the plates, who presumably has a pair of lungs, might start to wonder why there's so much soot in the air.  That might lead to a non-random question, which I suppose would need a different thread.

I always assumed it’s a failed emoji.
Don’t bother googling it :)

It's actually just an added part of the link that whatever mod is imbedding the tweets isn't used to, if deleted you can get a clean post.

Which one would offend you more?
Would it be fair to say this person is not a fan of yours?  :)

All are worth a suspension, which was given when I saw it last week.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Are you sure?

Well, you do seem like the kind of guy to report
I did it for you.  ;)


But maybe not when you're the one being attacked

It's a code for which Twitter client the Twitter link was copied from.
