I figured out that if I fold the side of the sheet over, it has enough weight to support a higher pressure on the inside.

Anyway, I'll have to leave the bubble to eat dinner…

@bjb568 Why not eat dinner under the sheet?

Beer is an interesting outlier: very few questions, but lots of visits per day... it beats ExpressionEngine® Answers in VPD, which is a graduated site.

user259867

Conjecture: most of the visitors are having a little bit of trouble locating and clicking the Ask Question button.

Tiny Giant

Which is understandable by their probable mental state

Also: nextglass.co can probably answer most of the "What does this taste like" questions

Q: Why are aircraft windshields not unbreakable?

From a materials engineering standpoint, cockpit windshields, typically weighing between 25-40 pounds, depending on the type of windshield build, are typically constructed of several layers: (1) A glass face-plate, roughly 1/10" thick; (2) A Polyvinyl Butryal (PVB) layer, about 1...

lolwut?

Tiny Giant

Well, if you were a pilot, you crashed, theres a fire behind you blocking your exit, do you a. break the window or b. run in circles, scream and shout? If the window was unbreakable it would always be b

bjb568

I don't think that's how it works…

Tiny Giant

Same reason windshields in cars aren't unbreakable. The sides of the car are crush in, theres a fire behind you, do you a. bust the window out or b. you get the idea

bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/… we canadians are so strict about what things people aren't supposed to be carrying on their person.

For instance: 13. The device commonly known as a “Kiyoga Baton” or “Steel Cobra” and any similar device consisting of a manually triggered telescoping spring-loaded steel whip terminated in a heavy calibre striking tip.

Braiam

and programmers are said to have poor naming sense

Tiny Giant

Who would honestly think that it would be a bad thing to carry a device consisting of a manually triggered telescoping spring-loaded steel whip terminated in a heavy calibre striking tip?

d00d, I just made it highlight variable declarations

It was easy.

It's something that you just can't do with regex tho :p

Is it possible to match a variable declaration (e.g. var a, b = function(one,n,two){asdf=foo}, c = b; baz() matches "a", "b", and "c") without full parsing of the JS?

It's funny how the LH self-evaluation came up right after the announcement that they are being discontinued.

Anyway, I've reviewed all 10, and for most of them, the information is no more than a duplicate of something easily found elsewhere on the internet. Answers should be more comprehensive and questions should be more specific, but I'm not really seeing an upward trend in either category. That, combined with the site's broad topic space, makes this site smell like yahoo answers to me: not especially good for anything. — bjb568 7 secs ago

@Doorknob stackoverflow.com/questions/10302615/mysql-views-performance his highest upvoted question is quite off-topic

would it be appropriate to vote to close / solicit close votes for a decently upvoted question with a decently upvoted accepted answer like that one?

yes

damn no more cv's anyways

lol next highest upvoted question for the same user stackoverflow.com/questions/18800440/… guy's got a thing for too broad questions eh?

Ok out of 20 of that guy's top questions I saw 17 that clearly deserve close votes, and 3 that were questionable.

So what is the recommended action to take when you find an almost 30k rep user who has a history of asking off-topic / too broad questions? (which seem to be getting left open / upvoted)
