Redirect your old tumblr links to your new url

oddhour:

A quick Google search told me that apparently no one knows how to do this properly 😛 It’s possible to redirect all your links from your old tumblr link to your new tumblr link (assuming you saved your old URL). This isn’t just redirecting to your new tumblr’s homepage.

This is like if you were linked to:
http://oddhouredproductivity.tumblr.com/tagged/tips

and the URL automatically changes to:
http://oddhour.tumblr.com/tagged/tips

(try it!) If you’ve ever tried to find a post off someone’s old url, you know how annoying it can be to track down the post in the new url.

How to use: Just add this script either before your end body tag (</body>) or in the head section (<head></head>) of the tumblr where you saved your old URL. Change oddhour.tumblr.com to whatever your new URL is.



  //redirect to new blog
  var path = window.location.pathname;
  window.location.replace('http://oddhour.tumblr.com' + path);

Chocolate Tempering {click link for FULL tutorial}

  • If you simply melt chocolate and let it cool it will set with unattractive grey streaks or spots, called blooming. If eaten, the texture will be grainy and it won’t melt smoothly in the mouth.
  • When you temper chocolate the end result is shiny, even colored, smooth melting and with a crisp snap. Basically, tempered chocolate is what you want because it’s better in every way.

“Cum.”

**PULLS ON TEACHER TROUSERS**

So I’d like to clarify once and for all why there is a difference between “come" and “cum.“

I can’t say for sure how it is with other readers, but I suspect most people dislike “cum” because of some sort of aesthetical reason.  If that’s your choice for disliking it, whatever man, it’s no skin off my nose.

However, aesthetics really doesn’t come into it. (No pun intended.)  (…Well, maybe a little intended.)

The fact is, by definition, they are two astronomically different words used in different parts of speech.

“Cum” is a preposition. 

Let’s just let that sink in a moment.

I have here in my hands my Pocket Oxford Dictionary, which defines “cum" as “with, together with.“  For example, as in showing off “a kitchen-cum-laboratory” or “my best mate-cum-lover.“  This is the only definition for “cum.”

“Come,” on the other hand, is a verb, and the dictionary points out that, along with its many other meanings and uses, “have sexual orgasm" is included among the options.  It also mentions it can be used to mean “ejaculated semen"—-or a noun.  (Thanks Pocket Oxford!)

In short, “cum" is only used as a preposition.  I can see why people have instinctively used it otherwise, though—it’s because English is a damn dirty language that’s out to confuse everybody, and most people generally don’t go around saying things like “this is my man cave-cum-garage" because it sounds pretentious and weird, so people would naturally assume that the weirder-looking homonym is the sexy one.

So overall, an easy and understandable mistake to make—I’m not here to call anyone an idiot, I just want to clear up the confusion everyone has with these two dastardly homonyms.

EXACTLY. Which is why you shouldn’t be using it as a verb for ejaculation. Or as a noun for semen.  Thanks, teach!
