yeah, I've been rohypnolled by both microsoft and oracle, and general cloud shit , and various co workwers so many times now i barely even notice.

Hilariosly excel has recently started asking now, I think it says something like: "I've just fucked up several columns in your csv that you went to the bother of enquoting." "Do you want me to reload it and i'll try to un-fuck a few of those columns? ( whispers to audience - but probably not all of them - tee hee)."

I think my employer just needs to employ 25-50 more "delivery" managers and empower them to spend millions on a prettier barrel for us to bend over, that'll solve it. Maybe it'll have flufffy handcuffs.

I'd say UK can be either way, but it'd be mostly affectionate between friends, but most always offensive to a stranger.

I'd say 'daft cunt', or 'stupid cunt' , 'cheeky cunt' said to the face is much more likely to be genial mockery. 'useless cunt' is probably mildy offensive but could be either way.

'fucking cunt', or any of the above with the word fucking in there - more likely to be offence intended.

and generally you'd not say it to a stranger unless you're - varies regionally and by dialect of course. and as for 'posh cunt', 'tory cunt', 'bluenose cunt' . . . pretty much, offence intended.

Julian Cope has a story about his song, "cunts can fuck off" where he was helped out by a rural Irish Farmer who told him "hop on the back ya cunt" . Of course that might just be the Gaelic word for "Englishman".

Theres good cnts and bad cnts too , mostly there's the somewhat more neutral daft c*nts. words are wierd. It's like sometimes the meaning changes in different contexts.

Even if they did use unicode, any codeset , glyph or language changes over time , ulimately they emerge out of communication, not the other way round.

If some culture decides they want to use the glyph "2" to mean a word "to", they can and will, and no codeset is going to stop them. And if they get their message to their intended audience it doesnt matter that somebody else's isnumber fuction get's it wrong.

A person, community or standard codeset or dictionary cannot deny the accuracy or content of encrypted communication just because they can't decipher it.

Put another way a more robust isnumber() should maybe have a second argument to specify the codeset being used, and maybe whether written words - in some defined languare - are also to be converted

On the other hand "1/4/12" is not a fucking date.

TBF to Osterreich, in their native tongue it's a different large flightless bird whose name they've stolen.

Bitcoin is stupid and therefore deserves an emoji. It is not worthy of ascii-art. (_!_)

Edit , this shitty webpage doesn't support ascii-art. Re-edit, needed to add escape characters, true art is always born out of struggle.
