@Telkitty pick up a decent camera. They pack a lot of technology in affordable packages these day.

A nice little point and shoot, $200-$300 budget. I love taking pictures, esp. when I'm camping. It's worth it for the joy.

Ive never seen a phone with a decent low light sensor.

Also that fox is more scared of you. The only animal worth fearing is a bear.

Shadow Wizard

@JasonC so post some examples here.... ;)

Jason C

Land animal anyways. Everything in the ocean scares the crap out of me.

If I can find some. Im not good about saving pictures. I just like taking them. I'll have to dig up wherever I dumped my last SD card.

Pacific Northwest tree octopus

The Pacific Northwest tree octopus is an Internet hoax created in 1998 by Lyle Zapato. This fictitious endangered species of cephalopod was given the Latin name "Octopus paxarbolis" (the species name being coined from Latin pax, the root of Pacific, and Spanish arbol meaning "tree"). It was purportedly able to live both on land and in water, and was said to live in the Olympic National Forest and nearby rivers, spawning in water where its eggs are laid. Its major predator was said to be the Sasquatch. The Pacific Northwest tree octopus website is among a number of sites commonly used in Internet...

@Unikittyeatsacat There's a whole lot of WTF in that post.

bjb568

It's been an HNQ for quite a while.

The problem with this answer is that it uses the Royal "we". We, as in the community, can do nothing to implement these "what should be done" proposals. Only they can do it. Those they that barely even show up anymore, like I-shipped-the-T-shirts Tim. Not here either, you'd be lucky that they even read it. It is time that something is done about that, can only start if we aim correctly. — Hans Passant 7 hours ago

@Shog9 Making an effort to combat the crap dumping.

Shog9

The mistake I see again and again is the notion that a majority of poor-quality questions are those that are poorly-written, in ways that can be detected heuristically.

Not that these don't exist - and we have heuristics in place to block or restrict them already - but they pale in comparison to the masses who commit the much greater sin:

...that of being boring.

bjb568

Meh, I don't see any reason all questions asked by low-rep users whose title starts with a lowercase letter shouldn't be dumped into a review queue before being added to the site.

Shog9

The best indicators of a poorly-received question are things like [php] or [javascript]. Folks who are out of their depth and asking questions that have been asked a thousand times before in one form or another.

The questions themselves may not be particularly bad in terms of structure or writing, but the content is just... Dull.

He is considered one of the best Super Smash Bros. players of all time. He has won over 70 tournaments during his career and after Adam Lindgren, he has won the second most prize money playing Super Smash Bros. Melee. In Melee Mew2King primarily plays Sheik, Marth, and Fox. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mew2King mains Meta Knight; however in MK-Banned tournaments, he plays King Dedede or Falco.
