    I had to think about the 500, for a sec, but I did know they used a line above the largest "digits".

    Did I ask for Roman Numerals? :)

    Not in the slightest.

    No, but you didn't specify otherwise either, you just asked how else it was expressed, and Roman numerals would be one other way.

    "Twenty-four thousand six hundred and one" would be another way, too.

    Sorry Rube, that was wrong.

    EDIT: No, it wasn't - my "source" was. I was told it was Debra Winger, but she only had a small part in the Hallowe'en scene. Sorry for doubting you, Rube.

    It's an ancient and very large species of cattle now extinct. I know this because I watched a documentary on this very animal a few weeks ago.

    I'll admit I don't have a clue, but it brought up images of Augurs, prophecies, and so on. I probably need a good therapist. :/

    Question...What is 'shadow banning' that Trump has just been waxing so lyrically on?

    It's something like banning a user from a forum without them being aware that they are banned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭Franz Von Peppercorn


    Shadow banning means they think their tweets work but nobody (or a smaller number) of followers see them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,740 ✭✭✭✭looksee
