So Prince died of an opiod overdose. The world is shocked. /s
This was weeks ago man.
What rock have you been under?
His cause of death was headline breaking news on the BBC like two hours ago.
I get that, but who honestly didn't know it was a drug overdose? (regardless of the drug type)
Hence the /s tag in the original post...
I'm confused.
Never mind I get it now. "/s" means "sarcasm"
I'm done with this week.
I'm pretty sure /s means substitute.
But in all seriousness, do we really need yet more deliberately confusing linguistic candy which already has assigned use, especially in the IT community? /i
The /i there isn't case insensitive, what it means is "I like cats," but everyone should just know that now.
Edit: God I'm old aren't I?

My Condolences to our Canadian friends and hokey fans everywhere as I hear a National Treasure has passed. Hockey Hall of Famer Gordie Howe died this morning in Ohio, CBS News confirms http://cbsn.ws/1WIdMqa

Those are some hokie fans indeed, up there in Canada.

I just can't even....
The word is "hokey", and the sport is "hockey". And it's "indulge".

Why any university has a sports teamed named after a manual floor sweeper I have no idea. But it pretty much sums up my opinion of VT and college sports.

Singer that @thanksajdotcom turned me on to years ago was murdered last night following her concert in Orlando.

@scottalanmiller Oh, that can be topped. There's a professional german ice hockey team, Nürnberg Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers (http://www.icetigers.de/). Thomas Sabo is a well known fashion jewelry brand.
So a lot of tough guys and lots of fashion jewelery

This is the park that we are going to after MangoCon...

@mlnews These kids were in an off-limits part of the park.
It's sad but their parents should've been watching them and making sure this couldn't happen.

That is actually pretty cool.
They mentioned that radioactive material could be eaten away by these bacteria. But the question is, how could we get enough of the bacteria into these hazard zones, and confirm that they are eating enough of it, quickly enough? (on radioactive decay scales)
We don't want to be waiting around ~24,000 years for spent plutonium's' half-life.

Saw this post on 9gag.. through it was a joke. I guess it is not.
[Source]"The sad reality of it is it's been several hours, and we're not likely going to recover a live body," Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said.

Seriously a two year old - I hope they aren't blaming the gator!
