Happy B-Day @IEatBeans!

Happy Birthday @IEatBeans!!!

I cain’t! Cain’t do 'er! I can only suppose that the Wyze Forum’s implementation of Discourse is configured to style footnotes that way, because that’s not how they appear in the markdown-it demo. I would guess that footnotes could be configured to appear differently depending on how the Discourse Footnote plugin is set up.

@carverofchoice

How does that markup code show up like this

His code is actually:

It's pretty ridiculous^[Ridiculously _funny_!].

[Crease]

Yeah, that’s right. Discourse even swaps out the plain-jane apostrophe (')^[1] with the “pretty” version, which looks more like a right-single quote (’)^[2], just like how it’s configured to substitute “pretty” distinctive double quotation marks for the non-directional version that appears on your keyboard’s keycap.

I suspect the big ol’ midline horizontal ellipsis that’s substituted in for the more traditional footnote is what the Discourse team have chosen to be the “expandable mobile-friendly footnotes” styling, because it’s probably a lot easier to tap with a fingertip on a phone-sized screen than a little “^[1]” might be.

Oh, and I also assume that the #footnote-911764-1 reference is generated on the fly by the Discourse platform as the internal anchor to link the two elements of the footnote together. I don’t enter numbers like that when I use this feature. The way I type it is pretty straightforward and simple. Discourse is doing all the hard work.

I’m just making suppositions about all this stuff, though.

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate all of you

Happy Forumversary, @G2740! I hope you get some Home Assistant Wyzeness with your (& ).

[carverofchoice]

Happy 1st Forumversary @G2740 ! It’s been a pleasure discussing Wyze/Home Assistant with you over the last year. And thanks for helping to Beta test to make things better for EVERYONE!

[AnnWithAPlan]

Happy Forumversary @G2740!

Again, this is not enough about me. Still, it’s good to have you around ‘big gun.’

Don’t let the cartridges hit you in the chest when you’re poppin’ off (I don’t know guns from pop tarts!)

[peepeep]

I think really the best thing about me is that I’m generous. We should celebrate that occasionally.

@Antonius is getting better and better. @ashtonwalky 's handle is still awesome. @Seapup sleeps with one eye open. @ourmessages is joining the Peace Corp. And I live in a temperate climate.

You?

(Stay on topic! )

@IL1 is a sweetheart! (I don’t know for sure but I sense it!)

@WyzeMatt is hoarding special discounts and will soon release them all at once. He is ruggedly handsome for a Wyze employee but what’s that beard hiding, a weak chin?

@carverofchoice is starting to chase my flies because AI allows him to do everyone else’s job in addition to his own so waaaaah!

@Crease is nice but not hard enough on the carver. He keeps embedding things doubly (and now tripoli!) Where does he find these tricks??

And if I saw the rest of the @Mavens occasionally I’d compliment them, too, but y’know, they’re diffabled (profitably) and very busy snooping DMs and stuff. They’re nice (for rank elitists) and they give until you hurt!

[peepeep]

BTW, I have it on questionable authority that ‘Bah’ is the new ‘haha’. Be

[Antonius]

@peepeep

Bah

Humbug

Today is 7/11/2024 so lets not forget its 7-Eleven’s 97th Birthday!
That makes it Annual Slurpee Day!
Celebrate with a free small Slurpee® drink today when visiting 7-Eleven®

[carverofchoice]

OMG! I totally forgot that it’s Slurpee day! Thanks for pointing it out!

IIRC, it’s possibly the only day my wife and I both stayed up all night (in college early in our initial dating time…,talking with friends and then going to go get free slurpees).

I still stay up ALL night regularly (like every other week) to work, but my wife doesn’t

[Seapup]

What’s your go-to flavor(s)? I don’t do Slurpees very often, but when I do, I look for Coke, Dr Pepper and Blue Raspberry.

I never heard of 7-11 until I did a TDY to San Diego in the early 70s. But before Slurpees, I was slurping the same from High’s Dairy. High’s calls a Slurpee a Slushee. Not sure which came 1st.
