I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

New words are fun!
If you design a fire extinguisher enclosure with the "in case of emergency, break glass" sign, you design it to be frangible. This means it is able to be broken, but doesn't necessarily mean it's "fragile".
If you instead design it out of thin aluminum, maybe you could say it is fragile and gets damaged easy in shipping. However, if that thin aluminum just bends and dents, rather than breaking open like the glass design, that is not frangible.
