Gareth-bro is best big bro.
Edit: this is not a statement meaning to downplay other big brothers or other forum members. It's just that I meant to say this exact sentence for... a while.
I'm pretty sure I'd be the weird uncle.Seconded. Weird everything actually.

Wouldn't our continued flirtations be siscon then?

this forum is a lot like a family

I am so not used to being kissed repeatedly by family! :lol:
ooo
And you sure you don't want some familial kisses :mrgreen:

I claim the cousin that makes you handmade gifts whether you want them or not, but you don't care, because they usually involve some kind of baked good.
I'm guessing I'm the aunt that thinks she's still a kid and talks about sex and makes poop jokes.
i suppose you'd be the uncle who babysits us all and breaks up fights
By age, of course, I'd be a grandfather. I haven't yet learned to act like one, even to my IRL grandkids. Nevertheless, the forum is certainly a family to me. I tend to recognize that quickly, since I'm always on the lookout for families to glom on to.
GM is the guy sitting on his veranda with a shotgun in his hand. However if he lets you in his house, you will realize that he is knowledgable about all gun things and he also probably has deer heads all over the walls.
Game and Watch Forever is the distant relative who rarely speaks and rumor is he once killed a man with his bare hands. Or twenty.
I guess these days I'm the distant cousin who visits once every few years and no one quite remembers.

In the the plethora of Japanese honorific postfixes; the -san and -chan and -kun, we can now add -bro. I'm going to go and make an alternate Naruto fan-dub. "But, Sasuke-bro!", "Wait, Sasuke-bro!", "Isn't Sakura lovely, Sasuke-bro?"
You seem like the younger brother type.
Yeah, that works.i suppose you'd be the uncle who babysits us all and breaks up fights
I think of Method of Madness as the older kid who babysits the youngsters.

With none of us suspecting that the lovingly baked goods are in fact poisoned! (With love....and Poison! The band, of course. Who also added poison!)
*Gasp*
You want the family fortune all for yourself!

I MAY OR MAY NOT BE A PARTICULAR TIME OF DAY.I MAY OR MAY NOT BE MAY.
I married into this family.
So now I'm a weird aunt I guess.
Perhaps you could become death, destroyer of worlds?

Which makes you that weird aunt and uncle duo who always bring odd covered dishes that everyone avoids out of fear to family BBQs.
Perhaps you could become death, destroyer of worlds?well maybe. i hear the pay is alright, but the hours suck.
And maybe I am not technically related because I hit on everyone.

What.
I barely post even though I've been on this forum since I was 13. I wonder if I have a place in this family.

Since Kat said she is married in, you could be her sister and you're both Cool AuntsTM.

No dude, that's me.well then, welcome back cousin....
How many aunts do we have around here anyway? :-P
Always room for one more!
More aunts than a picnic!
While the au probably should make "ont" the "proper" pronunciation, it's always sounded odd to me. I'll usually say "ant", but sometimes I actually will use "ont" (like "root"/"rout" for route, I usually use the former for that, but not always.) I wonder if we should make a pronunciation thread. For that matter, I wonder if we already did and I just don't know about it.All that came to mind is English is weird.
I think English is successful because of that weirdness. Even though it's ridiculously hard to learn, English is such a melting pot of words and grammatical idiosyncrasies that it is applicable to nearly any context.
The crazy words we have and use make great stories, dialogues, science, as well as music.
Considering the networking machine is usually pronounced rowter and not rooter, I think the differentiation may have been popularized to avoid confusion with the word root, like android devices, and plants.
In Australia route is normally pronounced "root", but in networking parlance the American "rowt" pronunciation is universal, despite the potential confusion with rout. Only context separates these two devices, both of which are called "rowters":
...Does that make pwhodges "Great Grandpa Paul"? :evil:
How do puns break any language rules?

Regarding root v rowt:
I use root for everything. I guess it is just a generalized term.
I rarely say rowt. I didn't use it in Pokemon; that's for sure.

Ahhh. Right.

I rest my case.

I prefer a stylus to fingers, but these new "pressure sensitive" styluses don't hit the right spot most of the time. Of course, I'm using it on my iPod Touch, whose small size might have something to do with it...OK, you cannot use an iOS device with a pressure sensitive stylus, unless it's an active electronic stylus - that is to say one with batteries and a data connection of some kind to the device (Bluetooth, plugged into the headphone jack, ect)
I once watched Barmymoo typing on the iPad screen, and in a moving car. I think she was somewhere around 50-60 wpm. I remarked on it. She said she'd been typing since she was very young.
Yeah, but still ....
This (http://adonit.net/jot/touch/)may be an equivalent. IIRC, it's gotr mixed reviews, has batteries and maybe uses a bluetooth connection with the tablet to transmit pressure readings. I've read about it in the past, but didn't review it just now.I prefer a stylus to fingers, but these new "pressure sensitive" styluses don't hit the right spot most of the time.

A non-powered non-capacitive stylus cannot interface with an iOS Screen, as their screens only accept capacitive touch, and capacitive touch technology cannot be pressure sensitive.
So either you're highly mistaken, are being sold a scam, or are using something bizarre. Sorry.
And I'm not picking on iOS either - this holds true for Windows phones and 99% of android phones as well - in fact it holds true for Pretty much all devices with a capacitive touch screen, unless they have an added physical component inside the screen, which is rare and expensive and usually sourced from Wacom.

I don't remember this happening (although I'm assuming it was on our epic road trip to the land of cheese and grumpy prison wardens) but I just did a speed test on my laptop keyboard and typed out a section of text 100 wpm with no mistakes. I am a very fast typist, but touch screens really slow me down.
I mean, it wasn't a time-specific phenomenon - we could arrange meetups now too!
@JWH- that's a capacitive stylus. Inherently not pressure-sensitive.
