It's a loose construction of the nuclear option as well.

construance- looked it up in 3 online dictionaries and there
is no such word. Yet I see it in legal documents. Say what?

Gr8Player is banned for one week pursuant to a loose construance of Rule 5, "Do not post the same message more than once," and also a temporary nuclear option for deliberately ignoring an Administrator's request. The duration is Seven days.



One week?

Ouch.

Gonna need some help from above .

You see the word used everywhere if you Google it,
yet it's not in the dictionary.

"To even merely recognize incoherence or some other inadequacy assumes a set of god-level construance rules."

Ace, start using it, people will think you're brilliant.

It IS a word. There are hundreds of examples if you Google
it, just no definition.

"phonos with just a tinkers drum, mangeling Flauberts' navigating side-long glances, unvexed construance until the morning comes to Vespera and a cigarette."

which man so Fumbled in his Life's Construance of Principles and Pastimes.

. above all for reasons of rigour of construance, despite the proximity of both concepts

though in the light of Lewin's construance of purposive concepts to gestalt ends

The provisions on this subject generate certain construance issues, contain inconsistencies

Lojo has been permanently banned (Nuclear Option) for Personal Insult, Profanity, Trolling and Flooding. An example of just one of the insults is linked below:

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/off-topic/15202-taking-on-gtech/#post271983

Getting banned is a, "Feather in his cap," in his own words, so being the nice guy I am, I went ahead and made it nuclear.

it's a 1 sided conversation where the person just keeps making new unanswered posts without really adding any new content. If you were to keep asking that question every 5 minutes until someone else responded, that'd be a good example:-)

Used to be when I walked into my local casino, everybody looked up and shouted my name (which isn't norm). This would have been 15 years after the final episode of Cheers aired. So, I guess, I agree that Cheers will never get old. Plus, there's that nice new Cheers slot machine!

There's a bar named, "Cheers," in Moundsville, WV, Jefferson Avenue. The exterior sign and logo are the same, but that's where all similarities end, still cool to see that sign on an actual bar, though.

Couldn't find a pic on Google Images, my Mom lives in Moundsville, though, so I'll try to remember to snap a picture next time I am there.

There is one about three blocks from my house as well, I love it. Been there 3 times and nearly empty. Great for me as I hate loud, crowded places.

As to the other reply, not saying it is getting old, just that the look and feel seems old compared to how TV looks today.
