    I think Randal Munroe is half of why I really don't want to have a CS minor.  That and, I feel that Computer Science/Programming is of Ruin, rather than Preservation.

    How do I tell my parents that computer programming is evil and will steal my soul so I don't want to have it as my minor, in a way that does not make me sound irrational.

    Don't ask me

    I had to take a computer programming class because I'm going to be an engineer

    If computer programming is evil, what are you doing using a computer?

    I BROKE THE DOOR ON MY PARENTS' OVEN

    everyone is asleep so i can't tell them

    the catch was sticking so it couldn't close, and it's happened before, and what i did before was pull it to loosen it, so i did that again and it SNAPPED

    i checked the Zanussi website, for some STUPID reason they don't offer replacements of that part (they offer replacements of seemingly every other part for that model, i am confused)

    help?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    you're very clever

    i mean yes, i used tape, but they're not going to be pleased with that

    also it's kind of a bad solution, looks bad and you have to keep using more tape
  • 8 inches-ish of tape lasts 2-3 weeks, a roll that size should have you set for a while

    glad to be of service
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Clever is a word Americans should use more.

    It feels like a better word for a kind of practical problem-solving smarts than smart or intelligent, or wise.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    :/

    if you're genuinely trying to help then thanks, and sorry for being rude

    but like, i figured that i could tape it shut for myself, that's not really the solution to the problem i'm having
  • yeah that was my legit advice everything in our kitchen has Tape on it

    the kitchen... is generally a horrorshow
  • because the fridge is basically dead BUT there is no way on gods green earth to remove/replace it so it basically sits there being a Scion of Black Rot {2}{B}{B}
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    well

    that tape DOES look a lot more durable than what we have, so that is a help

    although it's £14.49 ($21.81) from Amazon UK and not Prime eligible and for that money i feel like i ought to be able to replace the part
  • you definitely should, call the company on the phone?

    i really dont have good suggestions, sorry about that
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    last time I broke something in my folks' kitchen, years ago, I wrote "mea culpa" on a note and left it nearby. I was forgiven and all was well

    I'm not exactly suggesting this, though

    ^^ no, you've been a help, and thank you

    i'll call them, but i'll probably have to wait until Monday

    actually i should be the one apologizing, i basically logged into here in FULL-THROTTLE PANIC MODE desperate for INSTANT, PERFECT SOLUTIONS OR EVERYTHING WILL BE AWFUL FOREVER, but it's 3:13 in the morning and that's patently ridiculous

    getting practical advice was calming, thanks for that

    ^ i also kinda did that except wordier

    idk, didn't know what else to do

    Between your parents' oven and my car's power windows, this seems to be the weekend of hard-to-replace stuff breaking >_<

    So, I feel your pain

  • there is basically a line permanently burned at the top of my screen now on this laptop and I am worried that it is indicative of impending hardware failure.

    I really don't know what I'd do without my laptop.

    It's a great song, and I do like it, but it just will not budge from my head.

    Bernie Sanders supporters on twitter who call everyone, regardless of gender "bitch" or "sweetie" and constantly tweet gifs of a crudely rendered cgi Wolverine showing his dick, and pictures of Elliot Rodger at people who displease them.

    As much as I like Rayman Legends, the Murphy levels are bad and whoever came up with them was a jerkwaffle.

    It occurs to me that I have no idea how Roald Dahl's first name is actually supposed to be pronounced

    Welsh is not my language :v
  • It occurs to me that I have no idea how Roald Dahl's first name is actually supposed to be pronounced

    I think it's actually Scandinavian but I still don't know how to really pronounce it.

    I always pronounced it "rolled doll" but I doubt that's especially close to correct.

    I just assumed it was Welsh because he was from Wales, but a quick glance at Wikipedia indicates his parents were Norwegian, so you're probably right.

    I also say "rolled doll" and people at least know who I'm talking about...
  • It's actually an acronym for "Roald Odahl Awas La dmassive Dantisemite Awhich His Ldisappointing"

    What platform are you on? They're designed with the Wii U's GamePad in mind, so it isn't the most enjoyable experience if you're on the other versions.

    The game was originally an exclusive for it, but Ubisoft reneged on that a couple months before it was supposed to release and delayed it so it could launch on every platform it could.

    (The Vita version is a pretty good facsimile, though.)
  • It's "Row-ahld Dah-l". 
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i always pronounced his first name like 'rolled'

    but his second name, i never pronounced to rhyme with 'doll'

    the only way i can think of to describe how i would say it is, like, imagine someone with a non-rhotic accent saying 'Carl'

    i would rhyme it with that
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    The D in Roald is silent. It's pronounced Ro-ahl, with Dahl being a short Dawwwwww with a L on the end.
