I'll second the community sidebar search. Almost all of my searches are searching for something from a specific community. Old habits die hard and I always end up navigating to the community, then going to search and finding myself having to search for the community again first.

Hey it's me the fun ruiner here to ruin your fun.

Nuclear Ghandi was mostly a myth until Civilisation V where it was deliberately programmed in.

Also the concept of an integer wrapping around below it's minimum value is still integer overflow, just like wrapping above it's maximum value. Underflow does exist in the context of floating point numbers, when a calculation produces a result too small to represent in the floating point schema.

Buffer overflow is putting more elements into an array than can fit in the array, therefore trying to write beyond the end of an array. They're a super common form of vulnerability exploit, particularly in older programs written in C. Buffer underflow is when something consuming from a buffer consumes faster than it is filled, and so empties the buffer. I didn't actually know this term before making this comment.

Australia will get submarines the same year it gets high speed rail.

BYD is getting big in Australia, which drives on the left. They don't sell the Seagull here though.

It wasn't even blue on Windows 10, it was the accent color.

I use Waistline. It pulls food data from OpenFoodFacts and has support for meals and recipes as well, although I mostly track weight not nutrition.

Solution to grid puzzleThe henchmen's discussion implies that the letter row and number column both have at least two balls in them (required for "I don't know, but I know you don't know)". Bernard's statement to Albert makes it clear to Albert that the letter must be either row C or D depending on the number he knows.

If it was row D the answer would still be ambiguous to Bernard so it must be C3 and the ball is gold

Solution to overall puzzleI've been successfully nerd sniped and my family is dead.

"Mongrel" is the word, but I've barely heard it used.

Pretty confident "domestic shorthair" is the "John Doe" of cat breeds.

The modern English word "bear" originally came from a proto-Germanic word meaning one of "brown one" or possibly "wild animal". There was an actual name for bears, but speaking it was taboo in case it caused a bear to appear, so the euphemism eventually replaced the real name.

When I learned this originally, I was taught that the true name was lost to time, but Wikipedia just says it was "arkto" so whatever.
