@Telkitty Juvenile moose.

I saw an adult male in Idaho and it was the most awe-inspiring thing ever. Then it starting swimming across a lake, which was just surreal.

@JonEricson Can we take this out of context?

Long time no see! How is everyone?

user315433

The plural of "moose" should be "meese". I insist.

Jon Ericson

Confusingly, also the plural of mouse.

Frank

@Michelle how about the plural of elk? Eek!

Jon Ericson

@Frank Hanging in there. You been on vacation?

Frank

@JonEricson work. All summer!

Working 60+ hour weeks sure beats unemployment though

I sometimes wondered if humans could do the same with a bit of genetic modification. Ultimate veganism.

Bacon ice cream

Bacon ice cream (or bacon-and-egg ice cream) is an ice cream generally created by adding bacon to egg custard and freezing the mixture. The concept of bacon ice cream originated in a 1973 sketch on the British comedy series The Two Ronnies as a joke; however, it was eventually created for April Fools' Day. Heston Blumenthal experimented with the creation of ice cream, making a custard similar to scrambled eggs then adding bacon to create one of his signature dishes. It now appears on dessert menus in other restaurants. == Origins == Ice cream is generally expected to be a sweet food, eaten as a...

@JourneymanGeek Can you explain why this question meta.stackexchange.com/questions/300465/… is downvoted and fit the site? I did my best to improve it and the downvote still stay on the question. If you have the smallest suggestion to improve it you are welcome

rene

It is down voted because no one agrees with the statement in the title and although you now seem to have managed to edit it into something reasonable, the first revisions were controversial at best. This covers also the reason for my downvote and I see no reason yet to retract my vote.

Journeyman Geek

@XavierCombelle Downvotes kinda mean something different on meta - that people disagree

In this case, I think its... how do I put this delicately... the sense of "This guy's stirring crap" that's probably responsible for the downvotes.

Sometimes - if you think what you're asking is right, you just gotta go "Ok, I'll take the reputation hit"

In this case I'd actually suggest examining the fundamental intent of the question "What am I trying to do here?" is more important than the content.

If that makes sense...

I could be mistaken, but emacs seems to get at least some of its keybindings from gnu readline: git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/readline.git/tree/…

alternatively, we can use Navigator.getUserMedia() to access camera & microphone... then we can establish some incantations/hand gestures to invoke page requests as if they were spells... making navigation as arcane as possible.
