Title: Forum maintenance 07.01.2017
Post by: Asmodean on January 05, 2017, 03:00:35 PM
This saturday, I will do some routine maintenance, possibly with a software upgrade.

The forum will be set in maintenance mode for the duration of the process. I'll get back to you with a downtime estimate.

Will this "maintenance" tighten any of the loose screws?

Work emergency, so I'm still behind a bit, but getting around to the upgrade part. We have mods installed, so not doing anything half-assed.

Is half assed better or worse than fulled assed?
Title: Re: Forum maintenance 07.01.2017
Post by: Asmodean on January 09, 2017, 09:26:02 PM
Means without much effort. If it relates to "can't be arsed," then I suppose it's worse than fully-assed. If not, I'm not sure.

I always thought instead of saying "A for effort" it should go "A for Assed." :notsure:

Interesting, here "half-arsed" usually means "did not try very hard" or "could have done better", as in "a half-arsed effort".

Quotehalf-arsed
adjectiveinformal
done with little effort or care; incompetent or inadequate.
"a half-arsed attempt to rectify the problem"

HANG ON, RETHINK TIME,

I may have read your words as meaning "easily done", O Asmo.

Maybe it references a time when a plumber would come to your apartment and do low quality work while showing half his ass. So then the two were forever associated with each other.

A typical case of misunderstanding due to ambiguity.  ;)
