I always respond that in that case, "jpeg" should be pronounced "jfeg".

"No pain, no gain. "

As someone who's been running for over 30 years and working ou for 20, if there is pain, there is injury. When there is injury, you take a break and regress. People may say that muscle pain or stiff muscles are a sign of a good workout, not an injury. However, even with those your risk of injury is much higher, and you'll eventually hurt yourself. "No pain" should be one of the outcomes of smart exercise, not an admonishment for not working hard enough.

If you insist on pronouncing "gif" as "gif" instead of "jif", you should pronounce "jpeg" as "jfeg".

Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Tapiooooca!

Sorry; you are right. I never saw that reader with any other authors, so it's not something that's really stuck in my memory.

Sorry; the automod here seems to have removed a naughty word in the URL. Linking directly to the picture.

Bring back memories of tthe removed dog. It never fails to make me smile...

All three English games in knockout stages ended in heartbreak. I'm prepared for another one. Have enough Bulmers to drown my disappointment.

The Hyperion books by Dan Simmons. Hyperion has full cast, the rest doesn't, but still very high quality narration.

Honourable mentions:

• Alastair Reynolds and John Lee collaborations. Lee has the perfect voice and tone for Reynolds' precise (and somewhat aloof) language.
• Neil Gaiman books. Gaiman does his own narration, and I can't imagine his books without his voice.

Dishonourable mention:

• John Scalzi, read by Will Wright. Wright reads as if every line in Scalzi's works was hillarious. Scalzi is a very funny writer, but his books have somber set pieces, and Wright ruins the immersion there.

Form yor own opinion. This is the original thread. A follow-up thread claimed that it was removed by Reddit admins because the picture of the van showed the company name and phone number. That thread included the fan with blacked-out identifiers and was allowed to stay up until users didn't start identifying the company in the comments.

There is currently a tiny bit of uproar over at r/irelandshittydrivers. A user took a photo of a work van that blocked two disabled spots. He sent the photo via Whatsapp to the company, which responded in a batshit crazy manner (for some reason, escalated it to praising Osama for 9/11). Naturally, the user posted the photo and the conversation to Reddit. Within a few hours, the company contacted Reddit and had the post removed. If a company with perhaps three customers per week can do it, what do you think large companies can do? Censoring user posts would be only the tip of the iceberg.

Posted on r/KotakuInAction by any chance? I usually run into this kind of complaints because of that sub.

My personal take is that subs that ban people just for posting on other subs are actively perpetuating their little opinion bubbles. They are essentially creating little virtual prisons for their members, and most of them are actually happy about that, which in turn tells all I need to know about those members' intellectual laziness. To twist around Groucho Marx' quote, I would refuse to join a sub that rejected me for posting elsewhere.
