Try saving locally, editing, and loading that HTML. Sometimes that works. ;-)
EDIT: Hanzo'd.
Admin
Listen to the song some time, and you'll hear that that's exactly how they sing it...
Admin
I understood it. I just disagreed with specific terminology used. Because what you see in the inspector is not even the site's source - it's the current state of DOM. Now, these can and will match on sites that don't do any live DOM manipulation, but it's not necessarily the case.
And again, you don't modify the source. Well, unless you save it locally first, like @redwizard said. You modify the current DOM state.
Admin
defusing, btw.
Admin
Defuzing?
Admin
Fizzbuzzing?
Admin
Look, the job posting said spreading sauce and tossing dough. No one told me there would be math!
Admin
That was pointed out, yes. I answered in jest that both work, and even used a filed under which should come across as an admission of a mistake to anyone familiar with the concept of sarcasm.
What else do you want? Public flagging?
Admin
Well I don't think "added the node in the inspector" is much better. He opened the Inspector and edited the HTML. That's a good enough description for me.
Admin
I know! They never honor my request to draw a shark fighting a unicorn or whatever!
Admin
Shoulda put up a sign on next door saying "nobody lives here, please check the 'additional information' and then go next door."
Admin
It was easier to just wait until the guy knocked on next door's door.
Admin
Are y'all forgetting who posted the article? This is actually a giant reverse-Polack joke.
Admin
As far as I can tell the only true thing in this article is that someone ordered a pizza online. And most of the embellishment doesn't even make sense. So once again, TRWTF is TDWTF.
Admin
But it satisfied my urge to be a pendant for the day. And I bet someone would complain if I didn't. So it might as well be me.
Admin
Re-fuzzing?
Admin
Yes, but by there were too many intervening posts for me to stick in a :hanzo:
Admin
When I was in college, I lived in a house for which the phone number was one digit different than the local Domino's Pizza; we got a lot of calls intended for them. Sometimes we took the caller's order and then called Domino's on the caller's behalf; sometimes the order we placed was not exactly what the caller asked for. Domino's didn't offer anchovies as a topping, so adding them wasn't possible, but they did offer jalapeños. One memorable occasion, the person who happened to answer the phone took the caller's order, then called Domino's and placed their order with the addition of jalapeños, and asked them to spell out "Happy Birthday" with the jalapeños.
I have no idea whether Domino's actually delivered the pizza as ordered. It took the housemate a while to convince the guy at Domino's that he was serious about wanting the jalapeños to spell out "Happy Birthday." I rather suspect they called the original purchaser to confirm the order, but I hope not.
Filed under: Yes, I have posted this story before. It's still funny[citation needed], and it's relevant here., Chrome speelchuck rejects "jalapeños" spelled with "ñ."
Admin
Nice. I was in the same situation in college; wish I'd thought of that. I just started taking the orders until the pizza place changed their number.
Admin
Counter-un-re-fizz-buzzing?
Admin
I am not buying it; I am thinking that this did not happen here in the USA. That's because the probability of the owner assuming he hacked the site as opposed to a developer not doing his job is .001%; and of a technical officer being present, .0001%; and of his not being busted anyway on the principle of letting the DA sort it out, .01%; and of the DA passing up an opportunity to throw someone in jail for about 400 years, .0001%.
If you've been tracking, that makes the likelihood of this about 0.0000000000000001%.
What a fantasy.
Admin
But the owner knew the webmaster had (for unstated raisins) taken the site down. I.e., it used to work, now it's not supposed to, and the customer somehow made it work. The owner knew it didn't work; therefore, the customer must have done something.
Admin
But events with that probability happen all the time.
For instance, neutrinos do collide with nuclei even though the probability is extremely low, and the events are detectable.
There are a lot of pizza joints in the multiverse, so it stands to reason that this incident is repeated now and then in one form or another.
Admin
And somewhere in the multiverse the situation happened exactly as described. I don't see where the complaints come from.

When I'm with friends we always request a picture of Mario jumping a shark. One of these days.
Admin
@anotherusername - story says console. onyx says inspector. maybe thats why the he complained?
Admin
TRWTF is inserting a button into the dom instead of evaluating
document.forms[7].submit();directly.Admin
Yeah it's a minor distinction - the console and inspector are different tabs of the same window/panel though.
Admin
I unsubscribed to TDWTF because of this post.
Admin
OK. <l
Admin
Fuck me, this story is turning into my personal Mandatory Fun Day.
Admin
Next time mention FizzBuzz and you'll be golden.
Admin
FizzBuzz is way too hard to write.
Admin
On slices divisible by 2, put pepperoni. On slices divisible by 3, put pineapple. 2 and 3, anchovies. The rest get green peppers.
Now no one wants to eat your pizza.
Admin
Admin
I think it's more "Human Heat Sink" than MFD.
Filed under: The cop from the internet police is actually the President's Daughter!
Admin
welcome to life as a front page editor.
it happens to every article.
Admin
Nonsense, what's wrong with slice 2? If you don't like pepperoni there's something wrong with you.
Admin
IME, anchovies anywhere on the pizza ruins the whole thing. But :barrier: to jokes and all that. I should call the Internet Police on you.
Admin
Ah, that could be true. I wouldn't know; I've never actually seen a pizza with those on it with my own eyes, as opposed to seeing a picture.
Admin
just reading that made me hungry
Admin
I'm actually curious enough to try such a thing, as long as I'm not paying.
Admin
I wasn't paying at the time, either. My FIL likes them, though. :mask:
Admin

Admin
It is also fish oil, which certain participants here find highly objectionable, despite the best efforts of other participants to educate them as to the error of their ways.
Admin
i think i could survive only with anchovies and bread
Admin
Maybe they'd tolerate pizza with fish sticks on it?
Admin
This. Exactly. I love salt and I love oil / grease. But leave the fish out of it all.
Admin
I know this probably doesn't matter but you made me smile a lot while I was reading that article! So thank you for embellishing the story and posting it for everyone to see.
