I downed half a bottle of 13%-vol wine. And it didn't get me drunk enough, so I just downed another quarter of the bottle.

Oh, I did, then got fustrated by the automatic paragraphing feature, which I had no idea how to turn off. And since Singh used MS Word for his last few chapters, I have to comb through it with a fine toothed comb and pick out the weird symbols and replace them with appropriate punctuations.

In an attempt to get this thread back on track, let me tell you about the past few weeks of my life. Approximately three/four weeks ago, my wife had a nervous breakdown, the reasons for which I won't go into. She was just about recovering so we returned to work this week only to find my desk groaning with the work that had piled up during my absense (more stress!). Wednesday this week, her boss was being a total arsehole to her, so she quit her job in tears (yet more stress due to finances being stretched). The very same day, she finds out that her brother had tried to commit suicide the night before and he was in hospital.

So all in all I'm having a very crap month or two!!

How are all your lives going!

What Scuddie said.

Also, I just listened to someone rant that EVE Online doesn't accept three word character names or ones long enough because it wouldn't take the full name of their Rifts character. (Which is Alessia CSA BC#1235G; considered property of the state rather than a person they have their service branch and serial number in their "name"; Coalition States Army Battle Cat Number 1235G for the curious in the translation.)

But the character's Battle Cat anyways and there are no 250-odd pounds of pure muscle and intelligent humanoid predatory feline with commando training wandering about EVE. Which is a bit of a pity, IMO, because damn if that wouldn't make for some fun stuff when ambulation comes. As I once put it "...pawbatting is cute when it comes from small housecats and 'OH GOD MY ARM' when it comes from fullgrown pumas." There's just something cool about being intimately involved with someone who can rip people's arms off and beat them with it, y'know? :P But I suppose if she could play her Battle Cat then I might be tempted to bring in the Psi-Hound I play currently.

And then Goonswarm would throw a ****ing fit because they'd think we're furries or somesuch **** like that when I just enjoy the challenge of crawling into the head of character that isn't really human and doesn't really think the way a human does. It's good training for a writer. And Alessia swore off the whole furry thing after visiting one convention and foolishly saying she was single (true at the time) and straight. Don't ever ever ever do that if you're female, or at the least bring a can of Mace with you, and several cans would be better.

And now I'm rambling, not that I give a flying **** at 3 in the morning. I suppose you see something stupid every day, right?

Any****, now I'm watching an old trailer for EVE Online...oh wait, no, excuse me, I'm just mistaking the music I have running for having that trailer running in the background; I rather like Black Sun Empire's Arrakis. And writing crap, of course, that I doubt I'll ever let any of you yahoos read because you wouldn't appreciate it. And also being pestered to come to bed.

Which means screw this because bed and cuddles are good. :p
Title: Re: Whatever happens in your life
Post by: Polpolion on May 10, 2008, 08:50:03 am
I have a semi-interesting story to tell:

So a few weeks ago back in mid-April during programming class, I had just finished my assignment and I had about a half an hour left in class. I decided to go romping around through the registry files for the remainder of class time. So I do, I figure out how to turn off the proxy without deleting everything, which is quite difficult without admin privileges, I unblock firefox, opera, and a few other programs and in turn I block internet explorer and a few other semi-critical programs. After that, nothing I found was all that interesting, so I just started deleting random stuff and changing everything. Then class ended and I left, and didn't think anything of it.

So a couple days later during my literature class, my teacher was lecturing us on the book we were reading. After about 20 minutes, a security guard pops his head into the classroom and is like "Mr. Teacher, can I speak to you for a moment?", the teacher turns and says "Can it wait?", then "No, it needs to be now,". So the teacher steps out into the hallway for a few moments, and then steps back in with a manila folder. He opens it and begins reading. I don't remember exactly what he said, so I'll paraphrase: "Okay, so a few days ago, our technology department informed the staff that some severe damage has occurred to one of our computers. Some important things on a computer were maliciously deleted, causing an operating system failure and sever hardware damage. And most unfortunately, due to the network that our computers are built on, the deleted files also affected the entire computer lab. Needless to say, the damages total in several thousand dollars. We happen to have a few suspects, so we'll call you out into the hallway and ask you a few questions."

It was about then that I started getting worried. I noted the fact that we were reading the Crucible at the time, and sure there were a few discrepancies in what he said, but you can't really get in a situation like this without getting totally worried unless the story is completely ridiculous. Anyway, as I expected, I was the second person to be called out into the hallway. There was my teacher and the security guard out there questioning me. I think I remember all of the questions asked to me:

"Have you ever hacked anything or hacked into anything in your life?"
-"I guess not." (technically not a lie)
"Have you ever gone on to any banned sites while at school?"
-"I went on youtube before it was banned" (I didn't really answer the question, at least not wholly)
"Have you ever checked your email at school?"
-"Yes, but I'm allowed to for programming so I can do homework at home." (the truth)
"If you cooperate with us, you will only be expelled for a single year. Do you want to tell me who you've been working with?"
-"Everyone. You'd need to search quite a long time to find someone who has never visited a banned site or checked their email at school" (pretty much the truth)
"We know that you forged your parents signature on the technology liability form. We had experts come in and examine the handwriting on the form and you parents handwriting. Are you aware that your parents are still liable for damages that you cause?"
-I just laughed. Anyone who has seen my parents handwriting and my writing knows that I couldn't forge it.

Then the teacher told me to go down the hallway, turn the corner and wait for someone to come get you. So I did, and I was just as worried as I was before. When I turned the corner, another person who was questioned was waiting there as well. So we just stood there and waited. then a third person came around the corner, and finally the teacher and security guard came with him. The the teacher pointed to the first person and said "Okay, you can go back to class and sit. You two (pointing to me and the third guy), go back and get your stuff and come back here."

By then, I was really worried. Really worried. I got my stuff and walked back, but he said it was all a joke and it was an exercise to imitate the setting of the crucible, and he went into another lecture about the situation. My vague hope was correct, but I figured that I wouldn't have been scared at all if I hadn't played with the files on those computers.

Little sister is in the Poconos for the weekend. Seriously wondering what is going on in the boyfriends head right now. Do I kill him or let him live another day. Keep in mind that he just got back from Iraq a few days ago and will be going back in few weeks. He treats  her right but I don't know. Should I expect a ring on her finger when she gets back? I was a soldier once myself so this is really a tough call.

My DiDA project was due in in. I wanted to add one hyperlink before I handed it in. I right click it and press edit. It opens it in Microsoft word. I think well that's odd, and make the change. It ruins the file :mad:. My attempt at getting a old copy fails. Panic! :shaking:

At that moment I would of liked nothing more than an old computer and a sledge hammer. :drevil:

And now, fun realizations.


Sitting here watching CNN and there's a thing about the earthquakes in China, and they say the Chinese army has dispatched a large number of troops to one of their major dams...because it's got a large crack.

Like the Soviet Union before them, China is heavily dependant on hydroelectric power, and has built a number of very large dams in places that are slightly...questionable. Also like the Soviet Union, if one of those dams breaks, you're talking 100,000 dead easy.

Now I don't feel much like eating dinner.

About half the day after i woke up today, i craved weed and would've loved to smoke it. After lunch hit, the weed craving went away. At the end of the day right now i'm thinking damn it sucks my job piss tests. WHY THE HELL DO I WANT MARIJUANA?!

You find the gnome at the start of the game, and have to carry it through hordes of Antlions, Hunter attacks, and, the most sadistic of all, on a car with no restraints for the gnome. He falls out at the slightest acceleration, you can't turn or he falls, and what's more, you're being chased by a helicopter shooting at you.

ROFFLE i meant to say four. Twenty five minutes on the treadmill. Only seven k an hour. Then i go onto the weight machines and use many reps on light weights. During  my army days i'd bench 75 - 90k nowadays i'm happy with 25 as a fixed rule.

Ok, this just in today (for the first part, the second part is an 'as always' sort of thing):

On the plus side (sort of), my ex-gf says she wants to be in a relationship with me again (but that she isn't ready, she is still getting over her last boyfriend apparently)... on the minus side, all the girls i ever liked in high school still treat me like a creep.

Yeah, I guess I can't say anything. I've currently got a 250 GB USB HDD full of shows/OSes/Games, although mainly movies/shows.

It's just that Portal is so awesome, Valve is one developer who deserves the money, although God knows they have enough.

I've seen that happen...its not normally pretty no matter how much of an ass the guy might be.  Usually entire teams jump each other after that.  As a former ref I've seen pretty much everything....at that point you just stand back and let the teams brawl (no sense getting in the middle of that) and you get your book out and keep writing.

I'm in the middle of term break. I'll return to Ngee Ann Polytechnic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngee_Ann_Polytechnic) the week after next (actually, I'm going there tomorrow to see if my booking for a digital camera was approved).

Over the past week, I've been watching YouTube Poop, writing some stuff, doing a term break assignment, and editing this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Chase).

I just found a freeware shmup called Blue Wish Resurrection... very fun bullet hell-type game (the highest level of difficulty is actually called "Hell").

Still can't beat the True Final Boss without dying about a dozen times though... :sigh: He's got several really irritating bullet patterns that last forever because he has boatloads of HP. The worst is probably his final... one of those screen-filling attacks which fires in sideways spirals as it travels downward (if that made any sense). Very tough.

True that. Hunting bombs in FS2 seems easier though. The shockwave doesn't kill you. ...Or do the shields just fully absorb the shockwave ? Do bomb shockwaves damage shields?

Nope. Increased their range from 2500 to 4500, increased rate of fire, but decreased accuracy and damage to compensate. Now it looks like a real point defense(read: bullet spamming) weapon.

I also added 4 Ion cannons and torpedo launchers, although it looks like the torpedos don't really work ... Oh well.

Oh yes. Gave my interceptors the ability to fire missiles, and strapped a rear-facing point defense weapon to bombers, a pair to resource collectors, and 4 to mobile refineries.

Meh--broke up with the girlfriend. "I don't feel a connection between us anymore and seeing you wouldnt make it any better. So yeah..dont wanna be a heart breaker but o well.." :blah:

I gave her a few months to figure out what she was doing, focus on school & what she wanted to do. Perhaps it was too long. I don't know. Anyways--it was long in coming and I had the bad feeling. I noticed things two days before that happened--which was at around midnight.

Oh well--two tears from when it hit me. A few more because I am stupid and poetic. Oh well--I'll leave her to her thoughts and to her life. Basically it does hurt--but who really cares. I'm just another person losing a first love. We starting going out really in December or January 2007--gone until February basically happily. From March or so onto now, it's been bad. After that, heart was somewhat broken--but it doesn't matter. It's a first love--I'll recover.











Oh well--I'm a free man. I'll be broadening my horizons a little bit now--when I go to college I'll be able to enjoy the sight-seeing at South Beach. ;7

Meh--I'm not having much of an easy time now. It comes to this for me--I'm focused on my future. The part that still hurts now is that the chance she comes back in the picture (so long as she wasn't depressed, it was nice) is slim. I don't know--but again I'm just a kid.

Oh well--I want to get a job once I'm in Miami--architecture or engineering or something. With my AutoCAD skills, I can definitely get a good job. I heard from my teacher ~$20/hour--which is a nice sum. Enough that I could get an apartment or decent car after my first year. Say 22 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, and 1/3 going to taxes, it's still $15,000. That's good and pretty easy money.

It's going to be weird. That was one obligation that is now closed--meaning I can basically close the book on high school while I start to write one on college. Miami in 2 weeks for about 3-4 days. I'm looking forward to it--and I'll be meeting my roommate for only the second time. He's a cool guy--similar to me in all but hobby where I'm a computer hardware enthusiast. He is short though....

Nonon, see, I saw SK on the sandwich wrapper, and I thought Stormkeeper! straight away.

Also, the list is just a list of things that should be done if you are an evil overlord, e.g

Quote
# My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.

# My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.

# My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.

# Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

...and explored as much of the island as possible on a bike within two hours. I also learnt a very painful lesson about braking. Thank goodness I prefer public transport.

The boat ride to and back from the island was fun. I kept remembering what Jeremy Clarkson was saying about his amphibious Nissan while I was riding.

It can quite capably be worse. Denver is a whole lot like San Francisco... only boring, redneck, and usually it has totally deserted streets. This last one is most likely because our weather is disgusting in various ways all year.

Doesn't seem to work. My custom ships still don't appear... Btw, I still havn't packaged the tables into a .vp. Would that present a problem?

No. Well, if your custom ships are in another folder than the mediavps or Inferno, then it won't work. Or if those folders are called differently.

Just make sure you put those tables and everything into the correct places ( Tables into Data\Tables, for example ).

Recently, my class was tasked with creating a poster for a certain museum exhibition in Singapore. We were given a choice between making a poster for the Singapore Art Museum's exhibition of Xu Beihong's works, or the Singapore Tyler Institute's exhibition of Henri Matisse's works. From what my lecturer told me, I am the only one in this year's entire cohort of thirty students to do up a poster for the latter; everyone else chose to make a poster for the former. :eek2:

Why do people have ex problems ? I usually wind up being good friends with my ex.

I tend to lack the good sense to let go when it can still be an amicable parting, so instead it all goes down in flames. Arguably I was also predisposed towards that ending by the...betrayal's not the correct word, I suppose, but something like that, of the first girl I was seriously interested in.

However as I said earlier, this is not really ex problems, because she's not my ex. It would be rather surprising if  she were, since the last time I saw her we were both 12. She's just someone I knew well back on the East Coast before moving to California, a good friend. She grew up rather good-looking, alas, and like the girlfriend, she knew me before...nevermind what.

The worst thing about this is Alessia finds my discomfort amusing, and has actually encouraged her. I am, I suppose, vaguely curious as to whether Alessia is blowing smoke or actually finds a two-girl situation acceptable, but a rather significant part of me doesn't want to know. :sigh:

my pink-haired sex buddy and I are planning 2 threesomes, both the fun kind, (2 girls, me).

****. yeah.

On some level, it amuses me that I'd actively resist that. I've argued it both ways with myself by now and then simply ceased to care which it is. It's just how I am.

I also think this is one of the reasons Alessia enjoys badgering me to be friendlier (if you can call it that) with Katie. She knows she's not going to win. Though then again I can be a contrary bastard at times, and if its' true she finds enjoyment in the game because she's not going to win it, that might change. :p

I used the microwave to attempt to heat roti-prata, a sort of Indian bread. I also decided to add butter. The microwave *ahem* spontaneously combusted.

Still playing Freelancer. I had the bright idea of going from New Tokyo to Mactan Base (Magellan) through Liberty space. That's after I barely escaped with my life going to Rhineland and a few turn-arounds after that. I did find a glitch--when setting navigation points, it'll map systems you've not yet visited if it's faster. I'm making a delivery of engine parts to Mactan base (30). I'll save once I'm there and try something else fun... I'm going to buy 30 units of Cocadine (the drug--illegal) and see if I can get it to Manhattan for huge profit. Smuggling stuff through hostile areas is a lot better and a lot easier than smuggling stuff through friendly or neutral areas and having police try to fight you. At least, in Liberty, I know that they're going to try to kill me no matter what. I've flown through about 4 Liberty systems in a heavy fighter armed to the teeth and using very few Shield Batteries. I've survived of course--and it's just been "jump in, jump into a trade route, jump into another trade route, jump into a corporate base (I have some major corps all very friendly towards me--so I can use their private stations for repair and restocking), and then eventually jump away. It's tough--but I found that Tab is afterburners--200 units/second for my Heavy Thrusters.

Simple... click both mouse buttons and move the mouse around. Turn with the left button, fire with the right, and hold both to dogfight. Realize the AI is terribly flawed in fighting, and also that your mines won't detonate unless you target an AI chasing you. It makes it easy to get kills as well--the AI never uses shield batteries or nanobots, so you can keep dropping homing mines and destroy them. Takes about 8 shots, but a lot more survivable than you realize, since you need to keep moving so your shields and then hull are not smashed to bits.

I find it an interesting game. I just hit the part where I help out the Blood Dragons, meaning everyone from Liberty and everyone with the Law hate me. Fun. I've been flying around trying to find the bases of those against the law. It's worked somewhat.

At noon, I took a train to town and spent the next five hours taking 400 shots on the camera I rented from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. At the same time, I ate lunch at Kenny Rogers and bought myself a book written by Jeremy Clarkson.

...if my sister doesn't return from Nanyang Technological University by tonight, I'll follow my mum out to Ngee Ann Polytechnic tomorrow.

Sure, lets go with that.

I just spent 45 minutes weedwhacking, so my entire left side was covered in plant pulp.  (I wouldn't be on the computer while still spreading green particles everywhere).  And I think I have some of it embeded in my hand.

Grandpa's buried after a 3 hour viewing, VFW ceremony, Masons ceremony, Methodist ceremony, and then internment. Following that, luncheon with my extended family, most of which spent with my cousins, their significant others, and my aunt and uncle. After that went with the cousins and their significant others to Dark Knight.

I just finished the main FreeSpace 2 campaign and experienced getting supernova'd for the first time. Cheap effects. :no:

I was 9km away from the jump node when Command rang, so I put everything to engines and made a run for it. When the supernova hit, I was less than 1000m away. Damn.

That's what I get for chasing bombers in an Ares.

Post by: Stormkeeper on July 31, 2008, 06:02:02 am
Well, the first time around, I was 12km away. When Command to me to run like hell for the node, I looked at the distance, and went, 'Bugger that.'

I was chasing bombers in an Erynies.

That would probably happen to me too if I wasn't curious enough to look up hints and tips on Interplay... :blah:

In my case, I wasn't watching the time. Commands rings at 11:50; Interplay recommends dropping everything 50 seconds early. All I needed was thirty seconds to get to the jump node and warp out. :mad2:

No, you can't. Which was why I was so sad. I laid down TWENTY DEVASTATING mines down, and then the battle gets played out in a cutscene that ignores the existance of the work of art that was my minefields. No infantry assault in the SW universe short of a Jedi rush or Dark Trooper strike coulda gotten thru those mines.

It's approaching polytechnic examination weeks in Singapore, but because I'm a media student, I don't have exams, so I get free time instead. It's 8:53 AM now in Singapore, and on a normal day, I would be fifty-three minutes late for physical education, but since this is pre-examination week, there are no physical education lessons. There aren't any Creative and Applied Thinking Skills lessons either, so that means I'll be at home for the whole day, finishing my 2D Art assignment and essay outline. If I've got some extra time, I'll have to decide between typing down plot devices for my GrandChase fan-fiction or cheating in The Battle for Wesnoth.

Finished Freelancer yesterday. I don't know if I want to keep going. I figured out the last few missions--where you just have to kill 1 of the Nomad capital ships (of 6) to trigger the "leave now" and have the other 5 destroyed for you. Other than that, at level 18, the next level requirement is something like $40,000, while my own NW is 3-4x higher.

I just got a filling in my tooth replaced...

I really dislike that procedure. Sure, your mouth is numb, so you can't feel any pain from it... but still, highly uncomfortable, knowing what they are doing to your tooth.

Better than having a hole in it, I suppose. :)
Title: Re: Whatever happens in your life
Post by: S-99 on August 05, 2008, 05:46:25 pm
Oh man, i use to have tons of cavities when i was a kid. I hated that procedure of putting in fillings. It's slightly painful without numbing, but nothing i liked sitting through. Just that sitting in the chair, the procedure from my youth seemed like it took soo long, like 10 minutes or something. The noise the instrument makes is unsettling, the length of time it took was unsettling, what they're actually doing with you tooth is unsettling, the mild mannered pain gets irritating, and the fact that it made my head vibrate like a black and decker sander i didn't really like.

Whatever happens in my life...when i was 5.

The girl I meet every Tuesday on the shuttle bus to Ngee Ann Polytechnic and train back to the east of Singapore was whining that I get two extra weeks of rest on top of the standard Polytechnic semester break and no exams, while she only got every Thursday off and STILL have lessons AND exams.

I hope she felt a little happier after I bought an eraser for her, even though she definitely had $0.35 to spend. :blah:

New Japanese shmup called "Zillion Beatz" is giving me headaches trying to install it. The trial version works, but the blasted thing crashes everytime the full program is run... *mutters angrily* :hopping:

Also sad that I'm coming up on the end of another anime I've gotten into: Ranma 1/2. Just a couple more OVA's and that's it... Sad because it is one of the most hilarious things I've ever watched. The manga is hard to find around here too... so I can't really count on continuing the story that way (anime ended waaaay before the manga).

On the plus side, in a few days my friends and I will be having a Firefly/Serenity marathon... estimated to last 14 hours. Should be interesting. :cool:

This is the first national day I actually watched, and I'm surprised at how bad it was... I was looking forward to the military routine bit, but they completely ruined it by making the Singapore Civil Total Defense Force (read: girl scouts) stand in the same area as them. The Black Knights bit was probably the best bit, though they flew a bit high and had one hell of a lot of space. It looked impressive, but apparently shouldn't be that hard to do (they had a lot of time to compensate for any mistakes they made). The fireworks were also okay, if you ignore the fact that they fired them all up to the same spot, which meant that the smoke covered half of them up. Nothing new or that impressive this year.

The worst thing about this year's NDP, though, was that it was a complete disgrace when compared to what happened the day before.

Skip it. Seriously. If you want total Marauder-powered ownage, go watch STC, some of the Pluto sequences or Rico's rampage through a hive with one. (God what I would have given to see one of duck Marauders plasma-walling everyone, wipe the damn taint from my mind.)

I had high hopes, I rather liked the way the Marauders moved at first, more mechanical then human, and they seemed to be suitably impressively armed. But the pyrotechnics sucked, you barely saw them moving around at all, and they get maybe 3 minutes of screentime if that.

I spent the past two days watching videos uploaded on YouTube by someone called IAmTheGang. Pretty violent stuff. :nervous:
I just spent yesterday listening to my friend's hood cousin describe graphically a bunch of gang battles he'd seen.

Not very well, mind you, but I trained at the same place as him. Then I figured out that everyone there was an asshole, so I quit.

On the subject of blakchole's creations, I've found one song of his that I think would make a fitting track for use in a campaign. Pretty exciting, since I've been trying forever to find music that fits this part, but never hit really upon the right sound... but I think this one is it! :cool:

I don't watch TV, I just use EZTV for the three or four shows I watch. Once we got satellite, we canceled our cable, but Eastlink didn't get the memo and we've been getting free cable for years. My mom still insists on paying 45$ per month (it's supposed to be 90$, but we split the costs with my uncle) for satellite, she has 3 channels she watches. I've been trying to get them to shell out the 500$ or so for a cheap PVR PC, but no, they'd rather pay 600$ a year than 600$ one time.

Rofl.

And NGTM-1R, its Stormkeeper not Stormbringer. If you can't remember, then just use Storm. Or Stormy. Although the last one sounds a tad gay, and is generally used only by girls on me.

I realised that the first time I played KoTOR, I did not visit Yavin Station, thereby missing out on the two most powerful lightsaber crystals in the game.

My little bro was incapacitaded with man-flu last week. I Saw him to present him with Kane & Lynch and Smash Brothers Brawl to cheer h8im up. (i'm good like that) only to discover yesterday morning that the little virusy bigger had infected me. I woke up today feeling about 40%

So i'm off to the GYM at 13:00 to sweat it out. And generally hack my lungs up on any unsuspecting bystanders..

Meh...been watching the Saint Seiya Hades Chapter. It leaves me with mixed feelings. The idea of the knights of the zodiac is great, and so are the characters and story - but the execution is sub-par to the idea. Conversations and scens sometimes feel too forced and..pathetic. not to mention the tendancy to repeat the same thing 20 times like the viewer is a imbecile.

Still, the 12 Gold Saints ROCK!

Just watched the Tyranid reveal and gameplay trailer for DoW 2. I have to say I'm quite hyped for DoW 2, although I am kinda missing the base building.

I'm flying a freighter now, which is pretty much a mini gunship with the amount of firepower bolted down to her hull.

Traded in my little Millenium Falcon for a Barracuda. With a torpedo launcher! And I rigged it up with all the Stealthblades I looted acquired from the generous Rhinelanders. Makes it a pretty tough fighter.

Camping to me means tent (although lean-to is better) cooking on a fire/Coleman Stove, and no water etc.

Our cottage has no power (except for solar, enough to run lights for a while, and the TV/Satellite setup for a few hours, has rain barrels, a hand water pump, and is in the middle of nowhere.

Well, it's currently... almost 1AM around here, which means i've never stayed up this late, 11PM was my old record. In case you're wondering why the hell i'm posting at this time, my dog has had diarrhea and been vomiting since last night. He had to go out at about 11:30, and since my mom was up all last night, i volunteered to stay up in case he had to go... so, now, i'm sitting in my living room, watching Top Gear, with the computer (that i'm not supposed to be using) sitting on my lap. I'm up because i started back on the medicine i take for my ADD today, and that screws my sleep until i get used to it. It also makes me less hungry... i didn't eat breakfast, and didn't even realize i'd skipped lunch. Come to think of it, i barely ate anything for dinner. I just ate something though, i'm feelign better, gonna stay up a little more then go to sleep.

Today I talked to the cute girl who gives out Epson flyers. The conversation actually started after I stood behind her for a while giving flyers in an opposite direction, and she went like, "Why you stand behind me? So weird sia you stand behind me. Like suddenly got shadow." Haven't gotten her number or name yet, but I'm hopeful.

I'm convinced that the only effective method for saving the planet, fixing the climate and taking care of a few other problems at the same time is to brutally wipe out at least one third of the human population. Which third? Just randomly pick them.

I went to uni to attend some presentations made by students taking the course I took 2 years ago, about their summer projects... and wow, was I impressed. Makes me wish I'd waited 2 years and then enrolled. Thought I'd be nice and not put them on the spot by asking questions (although I was racking my brain to think of some; hopefully I didn't come across as disinterested).

Didn't envy them for having to give assessed presentations though... I was doing the same exact thing back then, in front of people representing the industry.

Also met up with a coursemate I haven't seen or heard from for aaaaages, got her e-mail address memorised so we can stay in touch. Well, in theory. Hopefully I'll be able to see more of my former coursemates from now on as she seems to be keeping up with them better than I am.

I'm thinking of enrolling for a part-time chemistry course at the local college, so I've taken tomorrow off. Evening classes, 6-9pm every Wednesday... I tried it last year but work kept interfering and I decided to drop out, so I'm tentative about taking it up again.

:nervous: I only recently took up drinking.... :nervous: Took it up because I was worried that I was giving the "I'm superior to you" impression to people - not that I wanted to imply that or anything. Some people thought it was weird....and a fair few thought it was ok, being teetotal...but still, over time I felt like I stuck out and that was giving the wrong message to my mates. Nowadays, I don't drink much, only socially, and even then not much. Alcohol doesn't seem to do much for me, by that I mean in terms of making me feel well spirited/calmer... well, so far I'm not too sure as I drink infrequently. I always felt (and still do to an extent) that I could de-stress through other means instead of drinking, and that people mostly just drink to make themselves feel like they "belong" or to make themselves fit in with others...which is something I could accept in my friends, but not in myself for some reason. I felt like I should resist peer-pressure, but then maybe I didn't encounter that much when I was a bit younger. Later on I started thinking about the possible impression I was giving to others and felt that I should try to change from being teetotal. Still, I'm wary about the effects of anything that I can imbibe/ingest that affects my judgement. Self-control is a strength...thing is, even now I've started drinking it, alcohol still doesn't draw me in the way it does others. Gah... I dunno if my brain makes the right chemicals sometimes. :wtf: :confused:

Perhaps I should stop viewing it as being such a big deal.

Man, I can ramble on a bit can't I?  :snipe:

I'm kinda shy too but a little less than I used to be. Someone once said that shyness is just egotism out of its depth (Penelope Keith IIRC... not sure). Some people translated it as me being anti-social. If you can accompany people who know you well and that you trust, just take it from there, meet others and your self-esteem will improve over time. I struggled to be open to people, and I still do sometimes but I'm not as bad as I used to be... at least I don't think so anyway.

To be honest, I sometimes find mentally disabled girl better than normal people if only on the sheer fact that they have a different out look on life. Of course if you're being sarcastic ...

I am so ****ing bored. I just want my damn classes to start. First class started today as a matter of fact. The instructor was not present due to family emergency. I was just very jealous from that moment on. It ended up being really short class, with a quiz on commands for linux that i'd used before. OMG, I desired a 3 hour long class with the instructor being there!!! I have to wait till next tuesday before a real week of class starts up :mad:

The class was so much shorter i actually hung around giving all those who desired it, modifying their thumb drives to be linux bootable with the slax distro. If the U don't want to give me a real class, then i will increase the number of people who can use any university computer without needing to logon. Rage against the system! They make us change our passwords every 3 weeks by default. I hardly use U computers, i can't login anymore, i got locked out of my account because i don't remember which password i last used last semester trying to login some 20 times 3 days ago. I also really don't care for asking the U tech support for help considering the last thing they did for me was shut down my net connection because i was torrenting the knoppix dvd (if they know i'm torrenting can't they at least hop on the tracker so they can see what i'm getting is totally ****ing legal!!). I reset any computer on campus, boot from usb, then i get net access which is all i came for in the first place....all without logging in. The U is so dumb! They totally don't restrict which devices or interfaces you can boot from! Very bad security hole...****ING IDIOTS :hopping:

Use 3 passwords in rotation?

Or plant a logic bomb to f*ck them up :yes:

I just got a call from an old army buddy in Surrey offering me a part in a massive drug (cocaine) deal, but i don't have the money, don't want the hassle, don't like the lifestyle, am nowhere fit enough for that sort of hardware heavy thing, and most importantly can't be arsed with it in general.
Title: Re: Whatever happens in your life
Post by: S-99 on September 05, 2008, 07:02:03 am
It started out as 3 passwords in rotation, until the damn way they setup their security made it so that i couldn't use any of my 3 old ones (because it remembered them). So then it became 5 passwords used in rotation. 5 passwords i guess was the magic number, it no longer complained whenever i went back to using any of my old ones. But, damn, it was mighty annoying. It's always a long period before i need to use one of the U's computers. Every single time, i'll just like need to print something, or hop in occasionally to confirm my schedule. But i have to change my password before i login, then remember which password i use next. The U can totally swallow :mad2:

****ing with their network might be hard to do, but easy to get away with, especially if you can use a U computer without logging on, or use someone elses computer who forgot to logoff. You have to swipe your id card to get into labs, but how hard is it to just walk in after somebody has swiped their card? And lastly they have only one video camera per computer lab...wear a damn hoodie with the hood up, hell why not a face mask too? This is alaska, and when it gets -40C a bunch of people are wearing a face cover of some kind before they go out in it. The net admins will definitely know what happened on the network, which computer, and at what time, but definitely not who. This gets even better if you don't live on campus anymore. :yes:

A) Just because something is a fad doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. Or at least it doesn't logically. Let's just hope that Living doesn't become a fad.

B) Fads need some redeeming qualities in order for them to become fads. Even if they only appeal to a single group of people, they still probably have good traits to them.

C) The only reasons fads become unpopular is because new fads come along. The number one complaint about old fads by people who follow the fads is that they're old.

Interest in other cultures is indeed good. As is having opinions.

Not trying to defy your opinions here, but not all anime is retards in orange pyjamas. There are some more sophisticated and more adult anime series, such as Darker than Black, where the mood is pretty oppressive or such, and the comic relief is limited. I recommend. If for nothing else, then at least showing you that not all anime is the kind of crap you described.

Now, let's talk about Naruto. I watch it. I like it. Sometimes the "humour" annoys, but the drama and character development more than make up for it. I know I'm a weirdo, since the majority of Naruto fans are most likely dimwitted little brats who think that violence and superpowers are cool. And I fully symphatize the people at Dattebayo Fansubs for this reason alone.

Personally, I hate Pokemon/Digimon/Battle B Daman (or however it is spelled) and all the other variants of the "buy these cards/other **** and battle with your friends" scheme.

Well, Lobo, I see you're pretty turned towards Japan. Interest in other cultures is good.

But, you see, quite some chaps, me included, view anime as utter crap. Annoying retarded childs in orange pajamas. Strange androgynous[/] guys putting cards on some kinda desk and shouting: "Black Mage, I summon thee!. And, of course, yet another retarded child with a yet another annoying voice summoning yet other monsters you want to shoot.

The only anime I've ever liked was Digimon, that had it moments.

I'm not surprised you think all anime is crap if you only watched crap.

The term anime is as broad a term as "Holywood movie"  - just like most things that come out of it are crap,  some are good and a few are really amazing, so it is with anime. Only it's even more complicated with anime, since you got about 10943784 types of anime - from differences in animations styles to audience, etc..

Some of the good ones:

Cowboy Beebop
Rourin Kenshin (move, not series)
Vision of Escaflowne (series, not movie)
Ghost in the Shell
Record of hte Lodoss War
etc, etc, etc...


EDIT: Avatar is actually quite good. Good animations, excellent character development (Zuko). The only thing that irks me about it is that they insist on the Aang (12) & Katara (14-15) romance..It's so wrong it's abysmaly wrong.

Going back a decade before those, Venus Wars, Guyver and Dominion Tank police are also examples of Good Anime. Patlabor and Jin-Roh Wolf Brigade alos. Trigun was just silly, Fist of the North Star had the odd moment too.

I can now use my Shoes as a mirror, i'm ironing a Tie. (all my attire is Ironed and hanging up, i have pride in appearance :p)

edit- might be a bit OCD but my leather watch strap is looking a bit tatty so i'm giving a klight coat to prevent further damage, while it's out i may as well use it)

Lobo and TrashMan kinda nailed it down pretty well.

To be honest, I've had much more fun when watching various anime shows than I've had when watching typical western tv-shows and movies. It sucks but here nothing genuinely interesting is airing. About the only show I watch is House. I mostly missed first and second season of House because it aired at the same time as Lost. Then I stopped watching Lost but only picked up House when third season started.

I wish Supernatural's third season would start soon, the first two were good. Sheesh, I'm finding it difficult to even remember any good tv-shows. :sigh: Well, except for SG Atlantis which I have to download because it has never aired here. But then again, it's no different from how I acquire my anime.

I had Macroeconomics today, followed by a >1 hour break and then freshman seminar for an hour. During that break I drank a Starbucks Caffe Latte, paying for it by my premium meal plan (~$95/week instead of the stock $60/week). It was decent--a bit hot but that's to be expected. Came out well. After freshman seminar, I had lunch (hotdog and frenchfries) and then sort-of signed up for Capoeira.

Towards the end of the one hour interview we were all laughing and swearing and talking about eastenders and i've been called backfor a second interview next wednesday :yes:

my skillsets were never in question, today was a formality. I didn't break into full chat mode until i gently mirrored breaks in the stern-faced facade. then it brought the real "tem" out into the fray :D

UPDATE: I'm finding out that the resume thing isn't so daunting. And will have it done in the next few days working on it a little bit each night, and have my  mother review what i have done so far while she's still in state.

The bad is that the U computers started passwording only the usb booting feature on all their computers. They did that a  heck of a lot sooner than expected. Although telling my friend who works in tech support about they're horrible security weakness, probably helped to institute a new standard. Oh well, i still have live-cds and thumb drives. And when they start passwording that...on to make a bootable floppy for a live cd...etc. Idk why they didn't just require an administrator password for booting any kind of media rather than just passwording the boot from usb. Seems pretty dumb that they would not password all bootable features upon startup on their computers, and only do just one.

Can't decide playing a evil female ranger, or evil male rogue.

If I play the rogue, I'll turn it into either an Assasin or Shadow Thief.

I was playing SimCity classic, and I was doing pretty well at it. I had a really nice city going, but then, out of the blue, it just EXPLODED! WTF man? Cities don't just explode.  :(

Sim city cold war era?

EDIT: or sim city commie strike?

No, it was just regular sim city. The year was like 2035, too.

Actually that's untrue. If you're in the bunker a gun would be more useful, since using the nuke entails killing yourself in self defense.

My home town just got smashed by a hurricane so large it took up 85% of the Gulf of Mexico before it hit.  I live about 300 miles down the coast in Corpus Christi.  No real effects here, though it looked like it was going to hit us instead of Houston at first.  Checked in with all my relatives and they and their homes made it through more or less ok.  3 trees down in one yard, one of which broke in half and half-landed on my mother-in-law's roof.  Aich...  Fortunately, it doesn't look to have actually holed the roof, just dented it a bit.  Still, that'll need to be fixed before the next storm comes through.  The really sorry bit is that there is no power just about anywhere in town right now except for they that bought portable generators and enough gas to run them.  Even that isn't enough to run A/C, so that is one hot, muggy, and miserable town right now.

I've extended invitations to several families should they decide enough is enough.  I think one may take me up on it.

Its British, its fun, its quirky, and it has allot of style.  They tend to tell stories that you don't see elsewhere...Dr. Who still has some of that original Star Trek flare with aliens and different cultures all mixed in with history.  They like to keep a mix of past, present, and future stories which keeps things moving along.

They also do subtle whole season arcs that really don't matter so much episode to episode until the season finale where it all comes together. Also I really liked the one episode last season with the stone angels.  It was weird and freaky and damn was it really unique.

I've got a 9550, and it seems to overclock like a prizewinner since I got a new heatsink. It's gone from core/mem 250/200 to 400/200. I haven't tried the memory yet as I want to know how long to keep it running at full capacity to test if that is too high a core clock. Should 4 hours be fine? 8?

Once I get the max speeds for both I'll download the appropriate 9600 BIOS from TechPowerUp.

I remember back in the day when overclocking the gpu actually did something on video cards. Back in the voodoo 3 days or whatever. 90% of the benefit is in overclocking the memory, make sure you got some ramsinks though. You can't go wrong with overclocking the gpu either, although that may  not be doing much. At least get the gpu to be at the same speed as the ram.

Anyone remember me talking about that huge hiking trip I did back in July/August? I've finally gotten around to uploading my pictures onto my computer (as opposed to my parent's).

lvlshot'd for sanity, caption goes for the picture above it:

(http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/8581/dscf0874pg6.jpg)
This picture is of the crew that I went with, minus one adult. I'm 2nd from the right, back row. IIRC this was day 3 or 4. Although you can't see it, past the valley behind us, about 15-20 trail miles away is Mt. Baldy. It's not too high at 12,400 ft, but it's at least a mountain, as opposed to some of the 1000ft "mountains" we have in Michigan.

(http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/4760/dscf0935pu9.jpg)
This picture is of us hiking up a fire break towards Mt. Baldy. You can probably tell why it's called Mt. Baldy from this picture. :D

(http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/2630/dscf0940js1.jpg)
The little village on the left is called Baldy Town, for unknown reasons. Anyway, we stayed about a quarter mile past that little town for the two nights when we climbed baldy.

(http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/2324/dscf0997nl7.jpg)
This shot is from the top of baldy. That line is the fire break that you saw us hiking in in my second picture.

Now obviously, I took more than 4 pictures, so if you guys want any pictures of the scenery or whatnot, just ask.

Just walked my twelve year old dog, he's getting on now (obviously twelve = 84) and he was a bit slow and lumbery but i walked passed a local park and there was quite a bit of MILF hovering by the gate. When he saw em, i nearly got my arm yanked out of it's socket.
 
He may be old but he still got a few "Awww how sweet"s and i got one or two "you're his big proud daddy <3 isn't he cute" they're either town bikes (likely,) or very doppy (just as likely)
 Either way my ego has been fed today.

I just watched the jokers pencil trick on youtube.  :lol: That was great. Then i watched the jokers interrogation with the lights turning on in the interrogation room, and BOOM! Batman slams his head on the table.

I can't wait to see the dark knight. It seems they finally went back to batmans enemies being seriously deranged and very dark (which all of them are anyway). The last time i seen something crazy **** like the jokers pencil trick was on batman 2 with catwoman and the penguin eating peoples noses straight off their faces.

I recently read a comic that made fun of that.  I have never seen so I didn't quite get the joke.
First two seasons were decent, third is below average. You can spend you time watching better stuff.

I think it could be fun but my knee and other old injuries may hinder trying to keep up with hormone fuelled teenagers. I'd get 70 quid though.

courses to go on and i managed to get onto a Junior Sapper e&e against squadron training staff. My section did alright. Not great :lol: after a year i made Senior Sapper and did the same course a few times after attached to the hunter force. After that i spent some time in europe and finished my career.

crush her crush :drevil:

I was hanging out with one of my freshman friends tonight. He apparently spent ten dollars for a drop of acid that didn't affect him at all. So i invited him for a walk of all the trails on campus with lots of beer. I told him the cost for 48oz of the type of beer i bought was 6$, and he spent ten dollars on a drip of something that didn't even work, and at least if the beer doesn't work, it tastes really good.

I also told him, keep it simple, stick with the natural stuff, weed and alcohol. He was experimenting with hallucinagens and obviously it didn't work, he got jipped out of his money, and he was much more rather a fan of my logic instead. It was a heck of a fun friday night. This was way better than trying to get a hold of drugs that don't work and wondering where your friends went. Hell, it was even way better than going to the bar. It was just a good friday night. We're drinking more beer than we had earlier for tomorrow though.

Depends on how Nehalem stacks up in the quad+-core arena. It'll stay a viable option for another few months. Remember the Conroe launch? E6600s overclock decently, and 2GB RAM and a 7900GT or 8800GTS is plenty of graphics power. 975X or later a P965 motherboard, and you have a decent system. Similar thing now--a computer will at least stay relevant for about 2 years. I expect about 2 years out of everything: my E2140 does 3248mhz, and I bought that a year ago, as well as a P35 motherboard and Radeon HD3850. Now, a year later, I'm upgrading to a Q6600 for processor for $150. It could very well become a $100 upgrade alone if my friend buys the E2140 off of me. If not, I have that processor for another LGA775 build, such as a HTPC for my stepfather and mother.

Basically they're already "obsolete"... Yorkfield is out, but not as competitive as I hoped for the lower-end. Wolfdale's got a lot of market share now, but Yorkfield is still a bit behind. The much-hyped Q9450 didn't turn out so well--and is effectively phased out now that the Q9550 is within a few dollars of it. Oh well, really. A Q6600 is plenty of power and the one I'm buying has already hit 3.6GHz for 24/7 load. That's about as much abuse as I'll give it, so no worries.

Yeah--as I said they're already obsolete technically speaking, but for $185 new you still can't beat them. A 9850 BE or some other junk like that at stock, beats it. But if you want to overclock (and no Phenom goes above appx 3GHz on air) you're sunk. I want to bring my Q6600 to 3.6GHz or more, so I'll be trying for that.

Anyways--I consider a Q6600 a worthwhile investment... $100-150 and plenty for the next year.

IMHO the problem with buying top of the line computers isn't the fact that they go obsolete quickly, it's the fact that people associate "obsolete" with "not being able to run the most recent game with graphics turned up 14 points above highest".

Meh. I'd still be using my 7600gt athlon 64 single core 1.5gb memory and 480gb storage still. It's a very decent computer even though it's a single core. It runs games great. But, i wanted a laptop. The laptop was pretty much a downgrade though. I have a 120gb hdd (which is fine, i actually use that capacity), an 8400gs (which is pretty ****ing great for a 600$ laptop but in no means a 7600gt performer), and a 1.4ghz core 2 duo, and 2gb of ram. The laptop actually is an upgrade considering the better processor, and system memory. While my new 8400gs is like meh it'll do what i want it for at good performance, but not as good as i once had. I actually don't care about the hdd so much. I had 480gb a while ago, and i just never use that much capacity. I still don't use that much capacity on this 120gb hdd. But, the laptop is a lot smaller!!!

I sold my last system for 600$ with windows vista home basic i tossed into the deal that came with my laptop that i wasn't going to use. Pretty much my last computer was a solid and proven gamer being equipped with a dvd burner and lots of storage. I tossed in vista home basic when i got it, and he's like "i want it!" I was nice enough to show him how to use the machine, and included quake 2 and all the expansions for it, openarena, and quake 4. Of course, it came with an optical mouse, sturdy keyboard, speakers, and a 19inch crt capable of doing 120hz at high resolutions (the monitor coming with the death of a lot of desk real estate, but it's a nice monitor).

I'm an overclocking enthusiast, so I really don't mind much spending to keep pace. Basically I planned to upgrade to a quad or a Wolfdale. An E7200 would have been cheaper, as would an E5300, but a Q6600 is better performance overall and a major upgrade really. My graphics card is just a Radeon HD 3850, so I'm fine in that department. Major reason for buying a Q6600 is to run World Community Grid.

My US Military History class is the best class that could ever be taught. It's taught by a 19 year army veteran, supposedly around 7 years as an officer in the special forces. The first two weeks were all leadership/general army composition type stuff, now we're moving onto the American Revolution and leadership evaluations. The final exam is actually going to be a 6 day board game staged in south Iraq consisting of a battle between coalition forces and Iraqi insurgents. The hierarchy of leadership for the final exam battle is based off of what you do in class, usually influenced by grades, but mainly by what kind of work you do and the stuff you learn from the class (which is a lot more than is actually graded work). I'm working my way up the chain, but I'm still just an E-4. Course, there's only been one promotion opportunity so far.

I'd guess the reason that the class is so awesome is a combination of the topic of the course, the fact that the teacher is a cool guy, and the fact that the teacher knows how to teach really well.

I don't know too much about the mechanics of it yet, but from what I know, it will be played with the 20 sided dice system, sorta like DnD. The people in command have their own command squad, and can essentially tell their underlings (people who suck more at the class) what to do with their squads. I do know that a few years ago, someone managed to roll a natrual 20 and hit an F-16 with an RPG rocket, and that grading is not based off of success (the US side lost 5 of the last 7 battles), but of efficiency of leadership.

Naturally, I'll post all about it once I start doing it, which should be about mid-January 2009. :D

I made plans the other day: over winter break, my friend Alex and I are going to go to an Italian place and put an order in for our favorite food: pizza and massacre wings. Oh and I was at my friend Hilary's room. The topic of hot sauce came up, so I went to my room and grabbed a 5oz bottle of Blair's Mega Death. Somehow she got it in her nose, and it was "burning" for the better part of an hour. Yeah--it was funny. And I had some of that hot sauce the other day on some bland rotisserie chicken... it was good and the little bit I had was some real heat. $10 well spent.

Hint! Chop them up finely before boiling! This makes them cook quicker and makes for a smoother mash potatoe! :yes:

What we do is microwave potatoes when in a hurry. They come out well, and the skins are definitely a part I prefer to eat. Plus, it's easier to simply slice in and it it all than it is to peel the potato skins off or the potato out of the skin. My mom and sister always remove the skin, while everyone else eats it all. Other than that, you could have used a mechanical peeler. Either a potato peeler or, if you look, you can find a crank-operated potato-and-apple peeler. Just make sure to refrigerate them before peeling: I've given my mom many a lecture about using warm apples with it: the peeler shreds them to bits, instead of removing the skin.

Potatoes with skin = Epic win. Hey, it rhimes!

As for me, I had a colossal bicycle crash today. Basically, I have several bruises scattered over my body, a few abrasions and a pretty mauled chin. Nothing serious though.

As I was driving on the main street, I have luck I wasn't squished by a car :eek2:
And we had no luck, as you're still here. :P
:(

Stuff like this destroys my self-esteem.
So yes, it was funny for you, hell, even I'd fing it funny if it wasn't about me.
But right now, it's making me depressive. :blah:

Odd. Your school must have super-ultra nazi security. My school's computer system stepped up their security a lot, even though 97% of the stuff that people normally do that is against the rules wasn't touched, which was deleting the proxy server. Sure, they removed cmd and regedit from RUN, but you can still do command->regedit, and they removed the search feature from regedit, but you can still find it by hand and delete it. Even more strange than that, 4chan isn't blocked in the first place.

Went to the coast last weekend and picked up a few nice fossils - some ammonites and a few belemnite (extinct squid/cuttlefish type creature) fragments mostly.

Just ordered some new chemistry textbooks from Amazon. The ones I bought last year at the bookstore are now only about 75-80% useful due to the introduction of a new specification (syllabus) for this academic year onwards. I probably have about 7 or 8 textbooks now of varying ages on the subject lying around.

It's just an update to the existing spec to make the content a bit more contemporary...with stuff about the environmental side of chemistry, energy and resources. Module titles have changed. The only element name-related thing that's changed is the spelling of sulphur as 'sulfur' in the textbooks (I've always learned to spell it as sulphur). Suppose it uses less ink.
Title: Re: Whatever happens in your life
Post by: pecenipicek on September 27, 2008, 08:49:11 am

What I don't like about it is that under the old spec, you could get hold of any old exam papers from the previous 15 or so years and the content would be fairly close to what you'd expect in the upcoming real exams. There are no previous exam papers for the new spec, obviously...but I'm told that the old papers have questions that are still relevant. Previous papers from the last few years can be downloaded from the examining board's website which is useful.

I can still spell sulphur as sulphur and not be marked down for it (I always thought sulfur was the American English spelling).

Currently I'm (again) confirming my suspicions that any musical piece with some mother****ing lyrics can be turned into a form of goth rock by decreasing the speed of the track by 19%.

I saw the F1 Singapore-Singtel Night Race last night. Lewis almost crashed when he overtook somebody on a straight.

Massa got distracted near the end by Truili and crashed softly into a safety barrier. Just as he got his car out of the turn, a car behind him crashed headlong into the same barrier and failed.

I should be getting an LCD monitor soon for my desktop, and my package from home should arrive shortly. In the package are my two karategi (one white and one black), my karate and kobudo belts, my keyboard and mouse, my Scythe Infinity, and whatever else my mom stuffed in there. :P Other then that, spend $30 on groceries...

-2 bags of Lays chips (Classic) (buy 1 get 1 free)
-French bread (actually a water-dough bread, and the only one that didn't feel like pure mush)
-2 packages of Hillshire Farms "ultra-thin" hard salami (it wasn't ultra-thin... more like lazy thin) (2 for $7)
-Two pot pies--one being chicken and the other beef
-Two boxes of chocolate chip Pop Tarts
-Two boxes of Raisen Nut Bran ($5 for 2)

Saved like $9 on the bill, which was fine with me. Luckily, no sales tax... I got lucky and went within $1 of what I had in my wallet: which means it's been refilled with a $50 spot.

I'm searching for an anime which was one of three I was keeping an eye on because its next season starts around now. Unfortunately I didn't keep a close enough eye on it because I forgot its name.

I also bought Birsingr, the latest Eragon book, or as they're calling it now, the Inheritance Cycle. Not really impressed with it, the only major points are that he gets a new sword to replace Za'Roc and that his master dies in battle, and the source of Galbatorix's power is revealed. Other than that I think he could've wrapped up the entire cycle in this book, but Christopher Paolini seems to be addicted to details now.

I'm searching for an anime which was one of three I was keeping an eye on because its next season starts around now. Unfortunately I didn't keep a close enough eye on it because I forgot its name.
Throw out some details, then.  I don't keep up-to-date on every new series, but I know several people that do, so I'd probably be able to track down what you're referring to.

I'm clipping the balls off my campus under age drinking group. With a lot of people, it gets pretty fun. But, it's just something that's uninteresting in the long term. Considering the fact i got really dehydrated yesterday. I'd just like life to become more normal, especially for the weekends.

Still a fun way to get to know and meet people, and provide a safe haven for underagers just trekking the forest trails in the dark drinking beer.

*Leave the 2nd "] and replacing it with a "=" so it is "[url="
*Then you put a "]" at the end of the web-address, and write "here, or whatever you want to appear."
*Leave the 2nd " (http://and replacing it with a "=" so it is "[url="

I know how it goes. What sucks is when you completely bust the bulb part out and have to remove the base with pliers.

I guess that would include websites like meebo.com and whatever other web messenger interfaces AIM, yahoo, msn, and icq offers.
I assumed you tried a proxy and to no avail, or at least to find a proxy that wasn't blocked by your school yet. If you find a proxy that does work, do meebo.com.

I wouldn't consider myself a "GIMPer"... I can hardly do anything in that program. :p
Anyway, the project was this: take a logo, document, brochure, etc., and redesign it according to the design principles of visual communication (that is, the layout of the document, including text and graphics, and the positions and styles of such). Improve it, in other words. GIMP was the only tool we were allowed to use, which is fine, since GIMP is one hell of a powerful tool... you just need to know how to use it. And I don't so much... :rolleyes: Quite the learning experience for me.

The graphics are Halflife (the original) like, the gameplay is fairly straightforward, it's probably the only example of 40k damage not suffering severely from Gameplay and Story Segregation (a bolter is a friggin' handheld RPG, so it does damage like a handheld RPG), and I've yet to encounter any real bugs that I could detect. Parts of it are undoubtedly frustrating, but it's actually refreshingly empty of jumping puzzles or the like.

In gameplay it sits somewhere between the Dark Forces I and II, and the original Halflife. And is as I said arguably better than the later since it grasped such concepts as cutscenes and story.

Run me off about forty shivans please. I'm gonna hide them around my building to freak out the cleaners.

Actually it would be fun to print out a Shivan, but I think the next time that machine is idle again I'll print out a skull since my boss has been saying that would be cool one to have as a sample. Gotta convince him that a Shivan would be... *cough* Way past cool.

Ahh Pro/E is expensive but worth the money.
You run the parts out of the printer and make molds from them I guess?
Working with thermoplastics or thermosets after that?

As far as I've seen it and heard from out engineering guys it really is worth the money, quite a powerfull software.
Nope, the machine prints out the actual part itself. Layer by layer. And every piece can also be printed out in color.
But we have printed out some molds for silicone parts.

Maybe I just have a crappy professor, but I just can't seem to get the calculations right. Doesn't help that every other problem contains some sort of trick question. My professor is waaaay too fond of these. Even though I know to look for them, I'm never sure anymore what is a trick, and what is not. I have a suspicion that he worked a trick into the final, uber-hard and complicated problem on the midterm, which I think is just sadistic...

Seriously: I am going to pass the two semesters of physics (it's a general requirement at this college), and then I'm never coming anywhere near the subject again. Ever. :mad2:

I hate classes like that. Only it was with beginning of american history. Like the war with the british etc. The easiest thing that's been regurgitated to me since i was in kindergarten to me every year that i have been alive. Then, i'm wondering why the **** i'm doing bad on the exams. Turns out every question on the exam was a trick question. And i'm like come on, this is seriously gay. I just want to take a normal exam and get a good grade for what i studied for. It's ok if there's a couple of trick questions, but not when all of them were trick questions. That professor was a total biotch man.

In all honesty, any courses when the Professor feels the need to obfuscate and over complicate every single question, answer, excercise, etc... spends more of your time showing you the wrong way to do things, they are irresponsible and doing this for their ego, not for the students period. I personally wouldn't see any reason to pay for it. It just isn't teaching the content, its more like hazing.

The bus ride to Ngee Ann Polytechnic was long and boring. It took the driver an hour to get there because there were jams along the PIE and Eng Neo Avenue.

I think my ears have stopped ringing after being in close proximity to two large speakers last night at some overpacked bar but it's hard to tell for certain :hammer: You know those bars where the only way to communicate is by yelling point blank into someone's ear and/or using some sign language.

*yawn* I can't be bothered studying this morning.

I was so bored once caddying for me dad on the golf course that I went into some kind of trance. I remember the first few holes, but absolutely nothing until the sixteenth hole (when someone said something to me, waking me up).

Boredom can do that especially when you're on autopilot doing repetitive tasks.

In the old book called Journey to the West, India is the West. Calling it West Asia may be valid, but it's never used as far as I know.

I just tried to record some audio using Audacity and failed.

You might want to try HijackThis.exe and ComboFix.exe to clean that junk out.
Google those two for their latest builds, a very good set of tools to have around.
Another sweet little utility is ATF Cleaner.exe.

There was ... probably still is ... a virus within NYP's intranet. They couldn't hunt it down because the virus, apparently, wormed (pun intended) itself into the server's hard drives. Fortunately for me, the virus fails on Vista. And I can use my Vista-equipped laptop to destroy it if its present on any hard drives/thumbdrives. The virus prevents thumb/hard drives from autorunning, and it creates for itself a hidden folder, then disables revealing hidden folders. So its a simple matter of revealing hidden folders, then deleting said folder.

I pummeled the Martians into submissions with a horde of SPGs, Mk Is, Armoured Lorries and Invincible-class Ironclads, then switched sides and obliterated the PBH(Poor Bloody Humans) with a horde of Fighting Machines and Tempests ... Ah, nostalgia. This game actually gave me my e-mail address. This and Starsiege.

Come to think of it, that is actually quite normal. I remember one of our department's math assistants saying that the hardest part on any math course is the addition, substraction, multiplication and division of small whole numbers. And he was right. Nothing more embarassing than seeing that you succesfully wrote 8 + 7 = 11 on your exam paper.

I gave my chocolate bar to a friend. What amazes me is that she was willing to wait for half an hour just to get that Mars bar...or at least that's what she claimed. She wants to see my rented house, so I'll be bringing her over tomorrow afternoon when our lessons are done.

What's the limit a thread can reach before it crashes the forums (can that even happen?)?

Llama, a thread can go on for as long as anyone wants it to. Check Colonel Dekker's signature. The Word Association thread ran for five years, reaching a total of about 380 pages before it was nuked. To date, it's the longest forum thread on HLP.

By the way, why do so few people use HLP IRC? I'm online now, and only Snail seems to be active.

I didn't think the IRC channel was used much.

Cut my thumb at work and had the incident reported to the heath and safety team, which is a first for me, as well as my boss who now has to fill in a 6 page accident report form. Go me!! :doubt:

Woot!

I confronted my physics professor over an oddly low grade on my midterm and, guess what, he had miscounted! So my grade is now ten points higher than it was!
Wheeeeeeeee! I'm happy now. :D
If he can't get simple calculations correct, why the hell is he in the field of Physics at all?
Once I did a page long triple integral, I got all the calculus right, all the algebra right, but in the end I got the wrong answer because I forgot 9-4 was NOT equal to 13. Miscalculations happen sometimes.
Yea, the simple part is the mechanical part, which suits better for computers than humans anyway.

Actually yeah, it's funny about how much paperwork is involved for something so minor. No stitches needed, just a band-aid. The 'Go me!! :doubt:' bit was just me being sarcastic as I'm not too keen on having to preoccupy my boss with filling in said form (which has sections like "list names of any witnesses" etc), because of me being a wee bit careless.

well, its more fun than a sheep

i flew to the moon in orbiter with limited fuel on. i landed on the landing pad at brighton beech on fumes. i literally ran out of gas a meter off the pad and fell much like a brick would fall in lunar gravity. i used the rcs engines to soften the landing. launch and transfer i got right the first time. i used the scramjet enabled delta glider, flew on scram till the tanks went dry and to an altitude og 75km and mach 8, then flew to orbit from there on rockets. the landing i achieved on the second attempt (first time i didn't give myself enough room to reduce my velocity). next stop, mars :D

The missus is ill, had a cyst at the back of her throat, which whilst it was annoying (kept feeling like she had a hairball at the back of her throat making her want to swallow all the time) wasn't life-threatening.

She has now had it removed via surgery, along with the tonsil it was growing on, and has now got a throat infection on top of it, is finding swallowing almost impossible and therefore is de-hydrated as she cannot drink!   :sigh:

My friend went over to my house, after she got sidetracked by her stomach and a pet shop. Every time we meet, I learn a bit more about her. Today, I found out that she likes papillons, and she also has an enormous appetite, although she's a slow eater. She stayed in my house for an hour and left when my mum and I had to go out to see lightings for our new house.

As usual, my mum gave me a very neutral opinion about her. She feels that this friend of mine is a bit absent-minded. :nervous:

I ate dinner yesterday: a 12oz NY Strip and a load of mashed potatoes. :P Yummy. In other news, the mom and stepdad are in town so they took me out to dinner--which was said steak and potatoes. Doing stuff *today* I guess. I need to do three assignments for my class *tomorrow*, Monday.

1) Rewrite my English essay
2) History test

I bought Fallout 3 and I've been playing it.

Spoiler:
I just left Megaton to chase after Pops. I repaired leaks and then went to arrest Mr. Whats-his-name, for wanting to blow up Megaton with the bomb. He killed the sheriff. I went out into the "wild", and ran into two interesting things. First is a supermarket. I went in and picked up 2 laser gun things and a bunch of batteries for them. I then found out you repair weapons by salvaging parts--meaning if I have 3 10mm pistols, I can combine them to make a less-damaged pistol. I wish I had known that before--it would have been much easier. Anyways, after that I got into a bit of a firefight with the things in the supermarket. I left the market and went closer to DC, where I entered the Metro. In short, really spooky to me. Had radrats attack and went pretty deep in. I found a gate with feral ghouls... instead of sticking around I just left. It was too creepy. I got out of the Metro and back above ground, but it's night-time there. So, I have no idea what to do... too far back to Megaton and the supermarket's out of the question. I'll probably just travel a bit, look around. Bethesda did a great job--such a vast area and immersible atmosphere. I have been playing in Medium quality smoothly since properly reinstalling my graphics drivers. The game's appearance is great, and gameplay is fun. I don't like the FPS aspect exactly, though. Inventory management is a task--there's never any indication of what to pick up. A hint: early game, pick up everything you can. You can sell it when you get to Megaton.

I don't like Tax, from my 1750 per month i only get about 1340. Tax can suck my helmet.


On topic, i'm eating sushi for breakfast. A- because it's free, B- Because i'm scared anything less bland will "re-appear" due to a leaving dink session last night for a girl in IT.


Edit - who didn't tell me she was engaged until AFTER i turned up :rolleyes: not that it would stop me trying but i have to "present" a professional image at elast for a while.

About the same as in RA2. Also, at the end of the Allied campaign, the commander gets invited to a 'victory dinner' with either Tanya or Leftenant Eva. For me, I'd hit Eva. She more or less wears a bath robe.

If we are to be precise, I only have a fixed-term contract which ends at the end of the year, but I'm fairly confident they'd like to renew my contract. But no. I'm going to quit after this year. After all, it was just meant to just compensate for the summer when I had no income whatsoever.

I kinda want to join in on the Hard Light chat. How would I go about this? Get an IRC client?
Yes?

Cool. Recommendations for a client? I'm pretty net-literate, but I don't know anything about IRC.

Oh, there are many good ones: mIRC, HydraIRC, XChat, IceChat, Orion, the Chatzilla add-on for Firefox... I'm currently using mIRC. It'll do the job, even though it nags about registering, especially after you've used it for 30 days. Unless, of course, if you happen to have money and you register it.

mIRC and XChat are pretty common on #hard-light, but Goober and Turey use ChatZilla.

I played Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and discovered that the almighty boot to the head is the most powerful weapon.

Any generic tutorial for a sphere and adding random fracting noise would work i assume. Then use varying smoothing to refine the shape :yes: You can always tweak it throughout the process.

Note to all aspiring coders out there: staying up till 2 a.m. trying to write Assembly code is NOT a good idea...

I am so tired... this is my brain right now:  :warp:

Worse, I learned this morning that I'd done just about everything wrong, so I'll just have to rewrite it today.... :sigh:

VLC is pretty much garbage at whatever you assign it to do.  The CCCP (http://www.cccp-project.net/) with its included version of MPC or ZoomPlayer is probably the best thing at handling .mkvs that I've come across.  I use KMPlayer (http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4094) for just about all of my video needs myself, unless there's something that requires CCCP's finesse.

*is giving advice on media players, apparently*

You guys have it all wrong. Get Media Player Classic (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/). It's a single, lightweight .exe and plays absolutely everything.
Title: Re: Whatever happens in your life
Post by: pecenipicek on November 10, 2008, 01:40:04 pm
no it isnt. it just uses codecs that are installed on the PC

VLC was supposed to be a player for everything without the need installing codecs. i get a bit more reliable playback via VLC than via MPC.

Small ones. I have now slimmed the list to 5 "premiere" models...
1) Asus Eee PC 900HA XP (black only, 160GB HDD, 2.5lb, 5 hour battery)
2) Asus Eee PC 904HA XP (black only, 160GB HDD, 3.1lb, 7 hour battery)
3) Acer Aspire One (3 colors, 120GB HDD, 2.19lb, 5.5 hour battery)
4) MSI Wind (2 colors, 160GB HDD, 2.3lb, 7? hour battery)
5) Asus Eee PC 1000 40G (2 colors, 8+32GB SSDs, 2.94lb, 7.5 hour battery)

If this gets running well, I can get my name out there as knowing about computers &c, and hopefully do custom builds. I'm targeting the faculty and students, and there's plenty of financially loaded students. I already have some people willing to buy, and I'm generating more interest by advertising. How do I advertise? I sit in public with MY laptop and when people ask, tell them I'll be selling these in a few weeks.

Look, my headphones broke, and now my USB drive is broken, too  :hopping: ! The USB connector came off! What annoys me is that the information is probably still there. Luckily, there wasn't too much important stuff if (I hope) I recall correctly. Still there was stuff on it that I didn't have anywhere else!  :(

And it snapped off while I was trying to get it to work so I could get the stuff off it. I knew it was stuffed already, but I had to try and get the stuff off it. And I failed. But it was partly my fault, it only worked in certain positions, so I was bending it about in the USB sockets. My frakking bad!  :lol:

Axem's birthday was yesterday. :)

The train I was sitting on broke down, so I decided to take a bus all the way from Eunos to Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I saw quite a lot of interesting stuff. For instance, SMRT are STILL using super-old buses that are two decades of history to them. What's even more amazing is that they can move just as quickly as newer buses.

When I set off from Eunos, it was 8:45 AM. I arranged to meet a few classmates of mine by 10 AM, and I was thinking that I would be late by about fifteen minutes, but when I eventually got to Ngee Ann Polytechnic, it was 9:45 AM. :wtf:

I bought a $380 computer on Ebay, and it's specs are AS FOLLOWS!


Processor:    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+ Socket AM2
CPU Fan :   AMD Original AM2 CPU Fan
Motherboard:    ECS nVidia GeForce 7050M-M Motherboard
Memory:    4GB DDR II 800 Memory 240 Pin (Kingston) 　
Hard Drive:    Western Digital 160GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA II
Optical Drive:    LG 22X DVD RW + Dual Layer
Video:    nVidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI HDTV
Audio :   Realtek ALC662 6-channel HD Audio
Network Card:    Onboard 10/100 Network Card
Ports:    6 USB 2.0 Ports, 1 Parallel, 1 1394a
Case :   1285 Deluxe Black Tower Case
Power Supply:    600 Watt Heavy Duty Power Supply


I think that just the RAM + Video Card is more expensive than the whole package. Time to crank up Crysis!
you can get 4 gigs of kingston via forums in croatia for 20-40$ tops. the graphic card some 200$ if we're lucky :p

however, extremely good buy.
Now a days, the graphics card's far <$100.
here its still a bit above $100, but then again, most stuff related to pc's is much more expensive than outside.

Clean as in wipe or clean as in light sanding?
Cos an air blower (aerosol like IT cleaning equipment) should get most debris away  :D

Gentle brushing and a low power air blower. Just enough to get the extra powder away from the surface.

Actually, later that day I was informed that the part itself was faulty... the pin was floating in the air 0,5mm off the surface meaning that it was impossible to get it out ok in the first place. I could have noticed it if I had checked out the printing project with an extreme zoom, which I obviously didn't do... damnit.

So in the end I got a proper part and now theyre all printed out. *sigh*

2 bananas per 3 deciliter  cup, 15 dl milk, teaspoon of brown sugar, 2 spoons of cocoa powder. the thing is a bloody energy murder, and a refreshing thing as well.


also, tasty as hell, but i have to try it with actual ground then a bit steam-boiled 90% cocoa chocolate. that would rock even harder XD

I'm being cruel to myself by thinking of pizza and hot wings. I live in South Florida so, of course, none of that good New York food reaches me. :( I'm tempted to call up the pizzeria and ask them to send a few slices and two dozen wings on DICE, and then reheat them here. :sigh:

Post by: Titan on November 16, 2008, 05:34:18 pm
OOOOOOh yeah  :cool: this came out good. Sorry if the directions get imprecise, i wrote them.


Meatballs

2lb of 80% lean ground beef
2 eggs
½ cup of breadcrumps (seasoned)
½ cup of grated parmesan cheese
½ tp of garlic powder
1 Tb of dried parsely

   Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. With your hands, vigorously mix ingredients together. Once they are COMPLETELY mixed, form into meatballs. Brown briefly in large frying pan, DO NOT add any butter/oil. The grease from the meat will serve enough. When all are browned, put into sauce. (below)


Spaghetti Sauce + Noodles


2 28oz cans of tomato sauce
1 6oz can of tomato paste
1 Tb of oregano
1 Tb of basil
2 tp of dill
2 tp of onion powder
2 tp of chopped garlic
1 tp of ground rosemary
½ gup of grated cheese
1 whole carrot OR 2 Tb of sugar
1 lb of thin spaghetti

   Add all ingredients to large sauce pot, which is placed on the stovetop. Peel the carrot, then cut into pieces around 3in long, if you want it. Mix everything together, and THEN add the meatballs. Cook for 3 hours on your stove’s third setting. Check after 10 minutes. Check 20 minutes after that, then every 30 minutes. If it starts to bubble, stir it gently (Don’t break the meatballs!!!) then turn the burner down 1 setting. If it bubbles begins to bubble after this, stit gently again and turn burner down to simmer.
Get a large pot, and partially fill it with water (Your decision on how high, I filled mine ¾ of the way.) Cook the noodles, then drain them. Put the noodles back into the pot, and add some of the sauce to them. Stir in, and they won’t stick together. Enjoy!

Something very annoying happened today. I went to the library to use their fast Internet, with my new external hard drive (Western Digital, 320GB). I downloaded quite a bit - Scooby_Doo's ships I hadn't got, Transcend, INFA (again) and Celestia, and when I got home, NONE of it was on my drive! (The only time I've neglected to check to see if it was on there.)

Also, I fell very behind in Civ III, so I resigned. It's not funny to be in the Middle Ages (and not having learned Chemistry yet) when everyone else is in Industrial.

Nope, its in real life. I attacked the shipping channel to Tokyo with a regular bomber at first. Then I discovered how much of a ***** it was to hit them so I went back to the USS Yorktown and replaced my 1000lbs with Mk. 13 fishes. I will continue doing this until I get US$10, 000, 000 from the Tokyo government, as well as the rights to all anime being exported to Singapore. Odex will die!

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Man Who Created The Lord of the Rings
The Collapse of the Soviet Empire

She apparantly fails at playing the EotRS campaign, despite its awesome, somewhat imba navy, and the Allies, despite the freeze beams, shrink rays and excellent air power. She, however, excels at playing the Reds, because for her its the simple application of Brute Force.

For now, I'm going to finish my MC2 campaign, then re-install it, then play up the user campaigns and hope that I don't get my men and women killed.

EotRS is really difficult because of the lack of good anti-air. This is particularly tricky against the Allies.

Actually, I find they have excellent mobile AA, but horrible fixed-AA. The Sea Wings, Striker VXs and Jet Tengus are very capable of shooting down AA, especially the Sea Wings. But the Defender leaves a lot to be desired as far as AA and anti armour is concerned.

I let Lucas Simms die and then killed Mr. Burke. I put Burke in a chair in the corner of the bar and had him sitting up perfectly. I then moved Lucas Simms and put his head where it shouldn't be on Burke's lap. I forgot to take a screenshot of that though--but it was funny. Before that, in Big Town, I killed some Super Mutties and then dragged them into their moat. They floated. The sledgehammer too floated on the water. That was interesting, to say the least.

Heh. You have no idea. In CS:S, I shot someone out the window in the Terrorist base in Italy, then when I went outside, his corpse was hanging from the window upside down.

I got the new Linkin Park CD, so taking some time off to listen to it.

I remembered about an old show I saw once. These good guys (?) all had cars IIRC, one of them had a black Ferrari F355 or similar, and they were in a junkyard. The Ferrari was on a ramp, and then one of the other good guys (?) accidentally (?) went up the ramp, pushing the Ferrari into a pit of some sorts, where the bad guy (?) turned something on to put some molten metal type of thing into the pit. Said Ferrari got roasted, IIRC. It was a long time ago - does anyone know the title of this show?

I got totally disgusted by School Days, but finished watching it nonetheless. The main character got stabbed to death and then his head was kept by his first girlfriend as a memento. Somehow, I'm not too displeased with the ending he got.

Battle of Leyte Gulf, WWII. Specifically, Taffy-3 vs. Central Group. I just watched a documentary about it in US Military History. Holy crap.

One destroyer pretty much charged a 23 ship Japanese battle group, and took out 2 cruisers. Then later, a destroyer escort took out another cruiser.

Seriously. The Japanese tonnage for a single ship (Yamato) was more than the combined tonnage for all US ships in Taffy-3. Sure, Taffy-3 lost about twice the amount of ships as Central Group, but given the fact that taffy-3 was both outnumbered, outgunned, and ill-equipped,  they did a lot of damage. They ended up forcing the Central group to pull out.

The entirety of my state's unemployment office doesn't have enough workers to handle the massive influx of calls that the EUC (Emergency Unemployment Compensation) plan Congress recently enacted; calls are being disconnected, heck the phone line circuits are maxed out from opening till closing.

You'd think a viable solution to this problem would be that the unemployment office would hire more people directly from the unemployment pool to countermand this, wouldn't you? But that'd be too logical of a solution.

i'm on the verge of laughing my ass off.

cleaned out the pc yesterday, added another fan, rearranged the wires for max airflow and such, and thanks to it being almost freezing in my room... PC's temps..

CPU: 22°C
ambient temp: around 30-ish°C (inside the case, outside, i'd be amazed if it were more than 10°C in my room...)
graphics card: 41°C but i think that its reporting it incorrectly, since its always around that temp when inactive apparently...
HDD1: 26°C
HDD2: 22°C

the cpu is a OC-ed phenom 9500 (stock 2.2GHz, OC-ed to 2.4), on a ECS A770M-A mobo, with a ECS 9600GT(stock settings, i'm not OC-ing it...) and the HDD's are one 320GB Hitachi and one 320GB Seagate. Seagates are weirdly silent and cool.

normal temps?
CPU: 35-ish
ambient: 45-ish
GPU: 45-ish
HDD1: 37
HDD2: 27

had a similar thing to do recently. you just need to have a decent hammer and pick and patience to find out under which angles the tile and its associated "glue" come off when hit.

i've worked out with my precision it took me 3-6 hits total to lift the complete 20x7.5 cm tile without breaking it. it was still an assload of work.

Tabletop BT? Once, a long time ago. That's when my friend's kid sister killed my Atlas with her Commando by scoring a critical strike on my Atlas' cockpit with Inferno SRMs. :/

I went up against my little brother in MW4, pitting his Stormcrow against my Adder to show him that weight doesn't always matter.

Not that bad. But they did repair everything in my bathroom. Give you an idea, the bathtub wasn't attached to the wall anymore and I had a serious mold/fungus problem all over the walls. Toilet seat was leaking water all over the floor, though the piping was fine. That's just the small of it. So they chemicalized it, re-painted it, caulked, cemented, plumbed, and whatever else.

 I'm completely incompetent for fixing stuff up so I was very grateful of the service (especially given I finally have a manager at my complex that isn't passed-out-drunk 24/7 like the last one I had and therefore actually answers her door and phone...been here 5 years and gone through over 10 managers, heh. rent's damn cheap though which is why I've stayed for as long as I have).

But damn, some of them fumes were strong, har!

My little dog just died :(. 

She was in pain this morning because of the paralysis in her lower body.  A couple hours ago, she tried barking, but only air came out.  She couldn't drink either.  We took her back to the emergency vet, and ultimately it was decided it would be best to put her to sleep, as the vet said that she believes she had a degenerative spinal injury.  Caused the paralysis, and spread throughout her body.  As I saw her to comfort her, I noticed she had some blood coming from her ear and her eye.  The saddest part is that she died before the doctors had a chance to put her down.

She was only a year and a half old :(.

There is a sign on the wall to my right which reads: "I didn't know we had graphic novels! (How can a novel be non-fiction?)"

I am in my school's library.

There should be a law of some kind against schools in which more than a third of students are smarter than 90% of the people who teach there.

Further library shenanigans:

The "Best Books for Young Adults" section is nearly all magazines such as and similar to "People." (http://www.people.com/people/)

There is a "Golden Compass" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385752/) movie poster depicting the little girl and the armoured polar bear with the text "Use your skills to make a difference in the world." (Here's the poster image.) (http://eplteen.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/the-golden-compass2.jpg)

There is a big poster on the wall behind me with an image of a bunch of faceless people of varying races in a library with the text "Books come in all colors." (Yay for the internet; here's the poster.) (http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-19693165039429_2031_7488784)

A rather large pile of broken computers, TVs, desks, projectors, and stands are blocking half of a wall of the reference section.

A small freshman is sleeping sitting up at a table to my left. I think she was trying to study algebra II, but I can't be sure from here. But... it's doubtful she's taking algebra I. Her bookbag is approximately the size of a small hippopotamus.

The librarians are pacing about, one in each section of the library, to make sure students aren't talking or whispering or working together or wearing hats or chewing gum or drinking drinks or playing flash games or listening to music or watching videos or playing calculator games or possessing foodstuffs or looking too ghetto or looking too angry or touching library books or snoring or writing seditious things about the school administration or feeling unsafe or texting on cell phones or turning pages too loudly or using pens to do math or...

I reckon your regular supermarket should have green tea bags. Though, since I live in Singapore, I can't be too sure.

Reading a different book now, and still drinking tea.

I didn't anticipate having cable problems, and didn't really want to pay for having a wireless modem, which I thought would be superfluous. And the wire I use now for dial-up just goes behind shelves, up the wall above the doors, and stops at my bedroom door, where I use another bit of cable to connect it to my computer.

Wireless? It'll work out cheaper than drilling holes in floor or masking cable flush to the skirting.

All this is moot, however. We're up and running now, even though my room has become Cable Central.

Have just reenrolled for uni. Stupid enrolment system keeps telling me I've exceeded the required points for my degree and that I need to remove units to complete my degree (???). Long story short, I've got my project and 2 units a semester (down from 4). I'm happy with that, but not happy with the timetable.

My display is messed up.  Just spontaneously, every other vertical column of pixels is black.  Rebooting didn't help, and more and more it's looking like a hardware issue... :(s
1) Try a different cable to your monitor
2) Try a different monitor (and connect the current one to another computer)
3) Try a different graphics card
4) Try a different power supply
5) Try a different motherboard
6) Get an Apple Cinema Display
7) Get an iMac
8) If you followed step 7, shoot yourself.

Ordered the following today...

The Sims 2 Bon Voyage
The Sims 2 Freetime
The Sims 2 Apartment Life
Pink Floyd - Echos (4-LP set)

The "The Sims 2" stuff is for my sister. I got them for $15-20/each from Amazon, so I ordered all three. The Pink Floyd LPs are for my uncle--he asked for those from MusicDirect (http://www.musicdirect.com/). Since I know that's a good store and I loved the customer support (I gave a call to their audio consultant and waited <1 minute, never hitting a button, and got a real, live person!), so I decided against looking on Amazon. Any company with such a direct customer support line deserves my business, and then some! I love stores like that.

So far I have the above 4 items, as well as two 2GB MicroSD cards (again for my sister) and a pair of Microsoft LifeCam VX5000's in red (for my mother and stepfather). I still need to find something for my grandparents and maybe for my little half-brother.

Nope. I saw a big bunch of 30-60 year olds last night dancing to the macarena and the YMCA, and I they were dressed as a nurse, policewoman and air stewardess.

Somehow the quality of the movie Okto is showing looks like they're playing a pirated VCD ... Anyway, I just re-installed Dark Crusade and Soulstorm. For the Emperor!

I've used legalized gambling, but no I've not heard of that trick. I prefer not to know about the cheats in a sandbox Sim games. They're more fun that way--especially since there's not an ultimate goal other then doing better.

It's good that he had something. It's sort of a lesson I guess. You never know when you're going to die, so you should enjoy what time, and the people you've got. It's something I've been thinking of a lot lately. I'm so sorry you lost your colleague.

Back at work after Small Christmas weekend, it was a nice party but instead of drinking too much I ate too much. But man it was some delicious sushi, and of course brilliant sake.
And I think our clients enjoyed it aswell... especially three of them who began planning to start a new company after drinking anything that came to the table.

OTher than that, insomnia and probably fighting off a stomach bug as well. It's dawn here in Florida, so it's almost time for me to hoof it over to the grocery store and grab probably a half a gallon of milk, at least a loaf of french/italian bread (more like a water-dough bread), and some other odds and ends. I need to watch what I eat big-time now. I'm only going to be in Florida for a few more days, but I really need to start watching my diet. I'm not putting on enough pounds, which is bad.

Damn straight. I probably spend less than AE, cause I don't buy clothes very often. Though I do buy other stuff.

I just bought NWN2 Gold, and Storm of Zehir. Installing them both now, I'll tell ya'll how SoZ plays soonish, after I get back from my 2 day camp that starts tmr. I also bought my 3rd brother an Zen Stone Plus, for a little under $90, plus I found a gold mine of a shop that still had Tribes: Vengeance in a box!

I'm also engaging in Theme Music Powerup, while finishing up editing of an interview.

Oh, I also recently finished watching Air and Eureka Seven. Air is, like most of Key's animes, quite heartwarming, and heavy on the symbolism (in this case air and the wind) and Eureka Seven is quite nice too. Surfing giant mecha ftw.

i has an internet now

unfortunately my wireless router doesn't support ipv6 so i have to use a wire.
Disable IPv6--what is the point of it? It's not deployed anywhere en masse, so ignore it till it is. IPv4 is just fine.

apparently its deployed on my isp's dns servers. whatever i cant figure out why it dont run with my router. so i just said **** it for now. from what i remeber of net class it supposed to be reverse compatable, but whatever id didnt work after 4 hours of ****ing with it.

Well, if we don't change to IPv6 very soon, we won't have enough IP addresses for the growing internet masses.

Quick round of posting before mosing off to camp.

I played a little Storm of Zehir too. Nothing much to say yet, although somehow I knew instantly that with Volo handling the negotiations, I'd better go looking for some weapons quickish. I'll probably replay the entire of NWN2 + MoTB when I get back, just so that I'll be at level 30 for SoZ. Not sure if that would be imba, but still ... I'm also unsure if they raised the level cap. Hells, I hope so.

Turey, I just might be able to play out your DnD aquatic campaign, just a bit. :p

If you say so. It's not happened yet--and it it has been predicted to happen for what? THe last decade? Every time we get "close", things get remapped and a good portion gets recognized as open. Anyways--I wouldn't worry about it drying up yet. The time is coming--but not for a few years at least.

Memorable exchanges from last night, when some friends came over.

"Subtlety is lost on you." "Oh, I appreciate it. Ignoring it is just my politest method of saying 'screw you and the Volkswagon you rode in on' because it's cold and rainy and I have a headache, so I'm being a ***** tonight. Don't take it personal."
"Okay, so you spent all evening trying to hit that like the fist of an angry god. How did that work out for you?" "...not so great."
"Don't look at me like that! I'm strictly here to make snarky comments about the movie."

Why that? Some universities could give their 16.8 Million internet-claim away, but that's only a stopgap solution. So, if we want the internet to expand further in long term: IPv6.

I just was around campus with friends for like the past few hours. I hung out with Hilary for a bit more and gave her tasty Christmas presents--she was lucky and got 2 bags of chocolate, while Sara, Jennifer, and Janaya got a bar of chocolate each.

Other then that, I am flying out at like 11AM tomorrow, but the shuttle is bringing me to the airport for like 7AM. Oh well--I'll bring my laptop and my charger, as well as remember my phone charger and the data cable (for if I'm in the airport or run out of outlets, I can charge my phone off of my laptop). I also need to pack a bit--including something for Christmas. I'm thinking of a navy blue suit and a red tie, or black pants and a dark blue shirt (with dark blue tie or black tie).

Once I get home, I still need to find some gifts for my grandparents. I am thinking liquor would be the easy way out, but I'm only *18*, so I can't buy liquor unless I'm in Canada, in which case I can't bring it into the USA. Oh well--I'll figure something out for them.

The big problem I see for tomorrow is that New York is going to have a period of VERY bad weather starting from when I'm scheduled to land and continuing for 3+ hours after. Heavy snows for 3 hours. Yeahhh--ouch. And there's no set transportation to my hometown... my mom and uncle are going to be at work, as well as my sister. My grandparents don't drive, and my step-dad is going to be in Canada. So yeah... fun. :o


&Stones--I realize that. It's a necessary standard, but most companies are dragging their feet. Whenever we think it's about end-game, they pull out a few more years worth by optimizing the current system. That being said, not everything in use has IPv6 compatibility or support--especially at the corporate/data center level. Many companies have invested millions (easily) into contracts with Cisco and others, and they aren't giving thought to upgrading until the standard becomes a necessity. For the levels of reliability required for many consumer services, you don't just swap out components as you go. You have an engineer from Cisco design for you a system, head-to-toe, and then implement it. Otherwise, your network supplying the service can be down for an extended period of time, while the company is spending hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour just talking to Cisco.

Anyways--I would like to see IPv6 implemented, but there's not enough support. Yet.

Zack's day thus far:

First, Zack woke up about thirty minutes after the mandatory staff meeting at her place of employment had already begun, so she called her boss and told her that she was too sick to come in today. Boss mentioned that she had left a message for Zack a few days ago. Zack mumbled something about having been in Holly Hill and not being allowed any outside contact. Zack hopes that her boss does not know what Holly Hill is.

Then, Turambar's parents left the house to go to the mall, so Zack rushed over for a hug and some cuddling. Turambar sounds super funny. His voice is very different.

Now, Zack is glaring at the piles and piles of school work she will have to do in a week. Today, she is going on holiday.

Zack only earned a 215 on her PSAT. Zack is a little dumb. This makes her sad.

Why?

because my tonsils are out, there are huge scabs on the back of my throat, and swallowing hurts. 

i had a really nice nap before dinner though, these pills are awesome, just not so awesome as to give me painless eating.

The idea is that it has no flak guns, so that

1.) It isn't impossible to get close to bombing range
2.) makes it more believable. They took all the room needed to store flak ammo and filled it with more lasers.

figure a ship that size has such thick ass armor that conventional bomber launched warheads aren't much of a threat to it.  so there's no need to swat the gnats. thats why the dante is mostly covered in beam cannons (a few shotgun flacks though)

I played a little Dark Crusade. I decided to play differently than I usually do, rather than slowly wait and build up my honor guard before striking a capital, I went straight for the jugular in two cases. I overran the Chaos and Orks, and I'll be moving on the Necrons soon. Baneblades made taking the Forward Base support power easy.

I'm not sure, a search of Google says it's a max of 38°C, but other sources say something lower than that. It has to be 30°C or higher, surely. I should find a reason to get out of the house.  :doubt:

Maybe you can both just ignore him, somehow? Prevent it from escalating? Or is it past that point?

I found this:
Quote from: <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EVEOnline">EVE Online - TV Tropes</a>
ngtm1r > 60mil worth of dead belt rats since I logged in.
ngmt1r > I've probably killed more than a million poor electronic peons who made the mistake of signing on as a deck hand on a Serpentis battleship.
*ngtm1r should probably care.
Node Crash > EVE Online: the only game where everyone is a mass-murdering sociopath.
Is this our own NGTM-1R? :p

Yes, although I'm frankly not sure who posted it...

You play EVE Online, NGTM-1R?

I've edited TSM-69 and replaced all instances of LReds on the Lucifer with SReds. The result was that the Colossus won, losing only 41% hull, as compared to the original where it lost 81%.

That happened with mine, too. Fortunately before I sent it off I was able to use a copy of DOS on a Windows 98 CD to salvage many of my files - although some were corrupted. :(

That was the main reason it didn't go off to Acer until two weeks after it failed - I was reluctant to decide that I had salvaged 'enough'. :nod:

Yes. That means that we should abort the baby. After all, he might be the anti-Christ because he was born in sin. I say if Mobius can handle a good marriage, a good fatherhood, and a good education all at once, then good for him. From what I can tell, he's a good guy, so he shouldn't have too much trouble with the first two, and if he manages his time correctly, he'll be fine with the second two.

On the otherhand, I'm not sure if a 29 year old mother to a 10 year old boy would be socially hampering or not.

Regardless of all speculations of the "goodness" of this, I wish you good luck with your fiancee, your child, your education, and your future career, Mobius.

Last guy took an hour and fifteen minutes to replace the keyboard, this guy replaced just about everything (palmrest, touchpad, keyboard (number 3!), motherboard, gpu) in 35minutes, and it all works!

I didn't mean to suggest the event in itself was awful, but I do worry for him and his partner, and what effect this will have on their lives. It's a lot of responsibility to take on so early.

So I wish them all the best, but I also certainly wish it hadn't happened in the first place! It might have given them both more of a chance to learn and grow.

I'm not quite sure how to say that without sounding like a bit of a dick. Mobius = good, teen pregnancy = bad, this event = some of both.

(Also, no problem with being 'born in sin' -- these are social, not moral compunctions.)

Congrats Mobius (do we have a congrats beam?)

:wtf:

No, and it seems that the use of beams on HLP is heavily restricted.

On an unrelated note, I seem to have found something spelled as Y-O-U-J-U-S-T-L-O-S-T-T-H-E-G-A-M-E. :drevil:

As I was telling Mobius on MSN, it would be funny if he holds a poll, and picks a name from the poll. Then if his kid asks who gave him/her his/her name, Mobius can say, "Oh, about half a thousand people on the internet."

Different middle names. Francesco Mobius _______. He won't be a junior. I would know--my father's a Thomas William and I am a Thomas William Andrew.

Not willing to deal with bureaucratic issues? If it's a boy, he should be HAPPY that you didn't make him a "Jr.", and dealt with all that BS paperwork to make sure of it.

I have to get a proof-of-purchase for TrackMania United, the trouble is, the receipt is probably been thrown away sometime :mad:. Somehow someone else has used my key to register, and I'm sure my game wasn't used - I bought it from Harvey Norman almost two years ago :sigh:.

I'm still not sure what to do, here. I can't give Nadeo proof-of-purchase, but I don't think the profile that was made using my key has been used recently, but if someone else is using it, I don't want to use it. Do you think it is safe for me to use the profile, or should I just not play TMUF online?

I think Nadeo is as confused as I am, though. Well, at least they were trying to help.

It's very easy for an Italian to pronounce, anyway, because "egera"(same pronunciation) is a word used to offend women. Calling someone a "megera" means pointing her out as an "angry witch" or something like that. :lol:

I'm messing around with Windows 7 right now. I have it running as a Virtual Machine replica of my EeePC, so that I can get a feel for how it'll install. So far it's going well, I think. I want to slim the entire OS to fit in 3GB, though.

Do you think Windows 7 will be a worthy successor to Vista from your observations so far? ;7

I mean, if you upgraded would it be all right, or would it suck like going from XP to Vista? (Well, that's how it felt for me, but only because I took a performance hit.)

The feel of the OS is different overall. I can't say I like it, but there are some parts that I can get used to and some parts that will drive me up the wall. I want to slim it down enough to get it working everywhere. As I said, the VM is a replica of my EeePC's SSDs and RAM, so it should be an accurate representation of which vLite'd installations will work and which ones won't.

Anyways--this goes for any OS. If you're worried about losing a noticeable amount of performance, the upgrade is not for you. Supposedly, Windows 7 is faster than XP or Vista. I can't confirm that.

Ohh no , but the school played it down A LOT, I managed to pin it on peer pressure and refer to my generally good grades as a way to soften the blow, but it was hard nonetheless. I can see something like that happening with some of the girls schools around here though, they have quite a 'reputation'. So do most of the lower level public schools as well, Oh God I can't remember how many videos I've seen going around, the most recent one I can remember was from last year, involving some brunette and a deodorant can, hell, there was even a vid with a chick in a science classroom with a testube, that one was actually quite funny.

Okay. Double standard lesson of the day.

A well-sexed girl is not a slut.

Now, if your social mores lean that way, and if you want to be a jerk, a girl (or boy) who practices unsafe sex with a large number of partners might be termed a slut.

But a girl who has a lot of safe sex with one partner at a time (or more than one, if she leans that way) is perfectly within her rights. Even if the girl changes partners rapidly, as long as she and her partners are safe, you should respect it. It might be that she's not well-adjusted, but it might also be that she's intelligent, in control, and simply has a large appetite.

And anyway, why wouldn't you term them 'players'?

(Plus, she's mostly lesbian, so as Snipes would say, it is not a target rich environment.)

Wow....that like.... made sense
Unfortunately most people whom I'm exposed to (including the guys) have pretty much been (for lack of a better word) raped by constant alcohol and substance abuse, unfair social pressures (IMO) and the media, whose dramatization of the many problems in high schools really aren't helping a lot of people.

While the latter of which you were speaking of would probably be termed 'healthy', the 'healthy' people I know (who actually form the majority) are still vulnerable to social pressures.

Okay. Double standard lesson of the day.

A well-sexed girl is not a slut.

Now, if your social mores lean that way, and if you want to be a jerk, a girl (or boy) who practices unsafe sex with a large number of partners might be termed a slut.

But a girl who has a lot of safe sex with one partner at a time (or more than one, if she leans that way) is perfectly within her rights.

And anyway, why wouldn't you term them 'players'?


Wow....that like.... made sense
Unfortunately most people whom I'm exposed to (including the guys) have pretty much been (for lack of a better word) raped by constant alcohol and substance abuse, unfair social pressures (IMO) and the media, whose dramatization of the many problems in high schools really aren't helping a lot of people.

While the latter of which you were speaking of would probably be termed 'healthy', the 'healthy' people I know (who actually form the majority) are still vulnerable to social pressures.

If they're all drugs-and-alcohol and unsafe behavior, I wouldn't hesitate to call them sluts. It has to mean something.

Really, though, because it’s shorthand for a perspective that vilifies female sexuality and has no effective male equivalent, I’d rather not see it used at all.

Some people use the term 'Manwhore' (or any variations), I suppose that probably is the closest translation to slut. But I see sense in your point now, while it's really an insult to call a chick a slut, calling a guy a 'player' is more of a compliment.

Frankly, slut as I hear it used, and use it myself, is a gender-neutral term and can be applied to males with the same ease as it can be applied to females, where if anything it's harsher on the male because of the traditional useage of the word to describe a female possibly calling their masculinity into question with those who don't use the word the same way.

Which brings me to my other point. The connations the audience attaches are beyond the control of the person using the word, and therefore judging the person actually using the word on what the audience thinks is grossly unfair unless they knew in advance that their audience does not connote the same things to it.

And also, at this point, I should note that the average useage of slut around here is not even necessarily insulting to someone, as the positive connotations mentioned for "player" below have caught up with the word and the implications of calling someone a slut now are almost totally dependent on the tone of voice you were using; I hear it used in an admiring fashion, as compliment about sexual prowess or even one's powers of persuasion, about as often as I hear it used in a derogatory fashion.

In short: Nice try Rian, but no.

If implying feminity/calling masculinity into question is an insult then you are agreeing with the generally accepted (though unconsciously) idea that women are inherently inferior to men. Good job.

Actually, I'm taking into account the fact that the people who don't use the word the way I do would see it that way.

That, and "you know, you really don't make a very good *insert gender here*" tends to burn a little regardless of such sentiments. It's true we don't have so descriptive a word as emasculation for the feminine gender, but it's just as possible to offend via trying to make one up.

As much as it's going to kick up ****, I think that's sadly true, as hard as people try to eliminate sexism and gender discrimination, it's written into the very roots our society is based on. Hell, the 'Answer to everything' aka.  the Bible is full of it, and it's been the Western World's MO for the past 2000 years. While it shows how far we've come, it also shows how far we need to go. IMO, if our Creation Theory (which I don't believe, Evolution FTW) even goes as far to say that women were created from men, I'm not sure how much farther you can get

Actually, we did this after school one day. This discussion. We made a list of "masculine" traits and a list of "feminine" traits and then put stars next to the ones that are considered positive. End result, masculinity had I think 8 or 9. Femininity had 3. And one of those three we gave as a sorta "pity-star" because it wasn't *really* positive, unless you looked at it a certain way.

It's an insult to tell a chick she is acting "like a chick."

Ignoring all "well I personally define it like this..." comments. Because they are 100% irrelevent.

EDIT: I have calmed down a bit since I wrote this, and I do think it's maybe a little harsh. The last thing I want is an Internet fight with NGTM-1R, who is pretty cool. So yeah, let's not escalate this too far - if necessary we can split off into our own little thread and settle things peaceable-like. (I think I am probably going to startle NGTM-1R with my somewhat heated reaction to one dubiously offensive sentence.)

I work in a psychology lab. Implicit association tests prove that 'slut' is archetypically considered female by a statistically significant majority of people. It requires an active conscious effort to redefine it to mean something positive. The default is negative.

There have been attempts by several subcultures and books in recent years to reclaim the world slut to mean a sex-positive person. However, they have been largely unsuccessful because 'slut' carries with it ancient connotations (going back to medieval England, I believe) of dirtiness and unkemptness, particularly in a sexual sense.

Nice try, NGTM-1R, but no.

Right, because social context doesn't matter. And I can call a black person a nigger, because to me, it means 'friend who shares social status'. After all, we shouldn't judge the person actually using the word on what the audience thinks.

Nice try, NGTM-1R, but no.

I admit, to my shame, you've made me a bit mad. In some idiolects 'slut' can take on positive connotations. But it is not by any means a broadly positive term. Nor do your experiences reflect a shift in the world at large.

Please consider carefully the following scenarios:

A woman is called a slut by several men at a corporate party.

A high school girl is called a slut by her ex-boyfriend.

Two women in a restaurant call another woman a slut.

These are all common instances of 'slut' being used as a negative term. And, unfortunately, they far outnumber the positives.

It is important to remember that insult is in the eye of the beholder.

Nice try, NGTM-1R, but no.

Quote
In short: Nice try Rian, but no.

Now, see, this is why you pissed me off. You had some decent arguments that led into an interesting topic -- the reclamation of negative terms by sex-positive feminists. But then you had to conclude it with a patronizing, paternalistic, brusque dismissal that suggests the original arguer doesn't have the wit to understand your argument and simply needs to be told she's wrong. You act as if you're in a position to simply dismiss years of desperate struggle for social equality because 'things have changed'.

Nice.

That said, having vented, I'm not Internet-mad any more. But you have to realize that acting like that can really ruin people's days, especially when people have to face harassment in their day-to-day lives. I think you'll probably agree that being demeaned,  even on the webernets, isn't pleasant.

No, I'm not really startled, and unfortunately I've reached that place in life where you're difficult or impossible to offend anymore because you just don't care anymore, which has probably colored my perceptions on this. I could go further with this, but it's not really going to serve a purpose because I can't really assail your core opinion logic (no, that's not a contradiction, just me unable to formulate a good way of saying it), just pick at some of the bits, so I'll let it drop.

I was butting heads against the Starcraft AI for a while as Zerg, then I executed an air drop against the left most AI and their bases crumbled one after another after that.

I was playing Big Game Hunters, and me, my brother and two computer allies had the upper left of the map, our opponents had the lower right. The left most enemy AI was a brown Zerg who was spamming Scourges and Devourers, so once I took him out with the air drop, it left my brother's Guardians free to destroy the rest one at a time.

EDIT:

Me: I found these jeans in the hall at school yesterday and they were a good size and nicer-looking than my jeans. So I took them.

Mum: Did you wash them?

Me: I haven't had time.

Mum: What if they're poisoned?

Me: I... what?

Mum: That happened on House once.

Neither do I, but many people are 'toughened' by our own experiences, to the point where there is no difference between someone living or dying, you just have to overcome it, but they get this across in the wrong way. I don't know, I'm just ranting.

What chassis? And most importantly, what power supply? That's where you most often go wrong--a cheap PSU on a decent system. That Q6600 isn't a power-sipper--it'll gulp it down happily when overclocked.

It's not quite that simple. The reason I recommend the Corsair (there's also a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W for $110-$40 MIR) was because it's a big name with great support and great OEMs. Their units are well-built and securely packaged. I got a Corsair 750TX in my computer right now, and I'm hardly using it. It's still nice to have top quality for a low price. That 650TX was in fact built by Seasonic, and my 750TX was built by Channel Well Tech.

Spellcards = bombs (or crazy bullet patterns for bosses) in Touhou.

But you are correct... except that I think there's only one witch in Touhou (Marisa). The rest are mainly non-human supernatural creatures of various kinds.

Obviously a couple of photoshopped images.

I knew that

But I had the impression most of the mods sat in dark lit rooms and had an aversion to brightly coloured images posted on the forums  :lol:

They aren't photoshopped. :P

Picking up something like karate might be helpful.  I always found contact sports were a great confidence booster and stress reliever.  Karate in particular is supposed to enforce discipline and control.

Yeah, contact sports do help. I started boxing a few years ago and you just have that inherent confidence whenever you walk about that anyone who looks at you the wrong way or tries to push you around can think it over a broken jaw. Not that you should give them a broken jaw, but it gives you that 'bulletproof' feeling.

At least sometimes it's okay to give someone a broken jaw if they try to push you around. However nuking them is slight overkill.

I've been playing Mount and Blade. I'm trying to increase my Charisma quality so I can further increase my Leadership skill. I just captured a rival king in a battle, after drawing ol' Ragnar himself away from the castle he was besieging, as well as away from the three other fiefs with big armies. I was lucky since Ragnar's army was really hurt--down to 1/3 the regular size, and carrying tonnes of prisoners. So I attack him when it was like 70v50 in his favor, won (thanks to a load of good guys on horses), and was lucky enough to capture him. The next problem was finding out where my own king was, so I could sell the poor bastard for gold. I eventually found my king and got like 5,100 gold for Ragnar. I still am trying to get rid of another fief of his--but I don't know which warlord will pay for his body.

What do you mean? Unless of course you're referring to the fact after the first 30 seconds (If you know how to do it, you can take out the first cannon in the first pass and beta wing will take out the second cannon pretty fast as well), the player has nothing at all to do other than rearm and attempt to try and pwn the Sath which is an exercise in futility because I loaded the mission with so many ships the Colossus is barely even neccessary.

And the fact that the version on fsmods has both the Sath and the Colly lacking waypoints and neither do any of the other capships. I'm currently working on that, I've given the Colly a waypoint set in which it heads across the Sath's path and brings its broadside cannons to bear on the Sath. I've given the Infinity and the corvette that jumps in with it a waypoint set as well, and I'm planning to do the other ships as well. And then there's gripes about the soundtrack, which is really only there because I'm a fan of electro-rock. I'm working on balance, maybe the Colly should start closer to the Sath or the Sath has more beam cannons left, so the player actually has some kind of 'work' to do. I've got an additional wing of Astaroths as well who attack the player wing at the beginning of the mission to spice things up a bit as well.

EDIT: I've also turned the Sath's destruction into a cutscene where the Colly gives it a taste of all its BFGreens at once, which is overkill but looks pretty cool (I hope)

yeah, that's what I was thinking. The song is only there because I copied the .tbl from a campaign I was making before about a post-capella campaign in which there's an uncharted jump node on the fringe of capellan space and the story follows a pilot whose suffering from ptsd (he's the sole survivor of his wing during the exodus) and thus most of the missions include some kind of inconveniant 'flashback' cutscene

There are two ways around this.  1) Name the music file aquitaine.ogg (or wav) or 2) Add your music to a music TBM (or tbl) under a new name and modify mainhall.tbl to use it.

I had to re-seat my laptop's RAM because I was getting BSODs when I ran memory-intensive operations.

Infodump: :p
I first started getting them while playing GalCiv2 (with Firefox usually with the background). My first hypothesis was either high operating temperature (since the air coming out the vent) or virtual memory problems (I got that from the event viewer). Then I got a BSOD while watching a large video I recorded from DOSBox, and the icing on the cake was when I tried FreeSpace today with Firefox in the background. I decided to use the Memory Diagnostics utility as suggested by the BSOD, and that said I had a hardware problem. So I decided to re-seat my RAM (read: taking it out and putting it back in again), and a re-run of the MD reported no problems. Now I'll try FreeSpace again and hope it's all right. :)

Been playing Cave Story. Pretty fun. Especially loving the machine gun. At level 3, the bullets propel you upward if you fire downward, meaning you can use the gun as a makeshift jetpack! ;7

Oddly, the actual jetpack isn't anywhere near as effective. :doubt:

So, I don't care that getting the machine gun means I miss out on the best weapon in the game. I can fly with bullets! :D

Actually, he did smoke at school. And got caught. And when they searched him, they found lighters and small amounts of weed. And then he swore at the admins.

I'm back at school. Most of my English class has elected to do the next paper together. As a group. I told the one other person not involved that there's actually a word for that: "cluster****."

Did the practice for the Writing task for QCS. Basically we had to write about 600 words (in any genre as long as it's connected prose) about a certain concept (in this case: essence) with some stimulus. Mine was a bit odd - I responded to "Bizarreness is the essence of the exotic" - it's probably the only essay that combines Lamborghinis, Strange and Dark Matter, people with three legs, and those big rolling spheres they have in New Zealand. :p

I've been back at school for two days now. It doesn't seem different from last year at all. Up until now I used to feel really 'weird' during the first few weeks of school, as if there was no order anymore, even though there really is more order to a school day than sitting at home in my boxers, going on hlp, leaving the computer on and going to the city with my 'krue' in a pair of baggy jeans and a singlet, coming home and fs2-ing, before hitting new replies and repeating the cycle.

I recently wrote a short story called Jacob the Sloth and Riot Control For Two for an exam as a response to a war poem, so there you go. The poem was all dark and depressing so i wrote a story that was neither of those things, just to lighten up the mood.

Well, I'd be more interested to know the chord progression for the opening seconds and piano solos in "Clubbed to Death" by Rob Dougan, heard in the first Matrix film.

I caught Uxie on Pearl too. But I am confused, as I have made Mesprit run away, and apparently you can track her progress on the Marking App, but when I go to it, it doesn't show anything that suggests where Mesprit is. Is there something else I need to do for her to show up?

EDIT: Found out how to make her appear on the map. I should start training my Zubat so he can learn Mean Look, or my Bronzor so it can learn Block. I think Zubat's faster though, and speed is what I'll need if I want to stop Mesprit from escaping. I remember when I played Gold (which I've misplaced, it's been missing for years), I never caught any of the Legendary Beasts, although I got Entei down to critical HP.

If I breathe too hard, there is a rattling in my lungs.

So this morning I looked up the symptoms "sore throat" and "cough" together.

Here's the top ten list of things the internet thinks I may have:

acute bronchitis
adenoviridae infection
adenovirus infection (assuming i'm an immnocompromised patient)
adenoviruse
allergies
anthrax
asthma
aureobasidium exposure
bacterial disease
cancer

I learned something funny in Epistemology today. Empiricists think that something is only real if you can experience it, and rationalists think that something is real even if no one can experience it.

--Empiricism essentially makes a lot of meta-physics meaningless, including the debate for an existence of God, because God as I've been taught hasn't ever been experienced.

--Rationalists don't need an experience for something to be true; they use logic to deduce that something is real.

Both are mutually exclusive and all encompassing my reading said, so you have to be one of them (even if you don't know it), and you can't be both.  And so given that, I have come to these conclusions about God:

A) He exists. (Rational argument only)
     1) It will always be impossible for human people to know that he exists with any significant amount of certainty. Always. Given Philosophy, this is an unacceptable conclusion (I suppose that doesn't mean incorrect, though).
        -OR-
     2) God exists and there is a logical, deductive way to prove it (that doesn't mean simple or easy, though).

-OR-

B) God doesn't exist. He never has and he never will. (Rational and Empirical argument)

This is why I thought that Trashman and Karajorma were always debating about God, Karajorma being an Empiricist and Trashman being a Rationalist. But I seem to recall Trashman openly denying the validity of logic, which is essential for a rationalist's proofs. So it would seem that it is impossible for Trashman to ever really know that God exists until after he dies. Karajorma, on the other hand, from what I've seen of his method of thinking, knows that God does not exist.

As an interesting side note to the Empiricist view point, most people's religious experiences correspond to intensely depressed activity in the portion of the brain responsible for delineating the barrier between the self and the outside world.

Depressing activity in this area by technological means produces intense religious experiences like those experienced by Buddhist monks or many Christians.

Finally snagged Mesprit. That's all of the Lake Trio. Now to do some level-grinding... :rolleyes: :mad:

(I decided to try and get it when my Zubat-Golbat-Crobat reached level 37, sort of like 'oh, what the hell, let's have a go'. It took a while, though, as she kept knocking Crobat, and of course that meant that Mean Look was no longer in effect, which meant she fled the next turn. It took me a few encounters, although I was surprised how easy it was to actually find her when you were in the right place!)

Started another new game in Mount&Blade. I basically started out by running around and getting together Kherit recruits. I had a setback early in the game--I couldn't outrun an opposing army so I nearly got squashed. I ended up being knocked out during the fight with like one or two guys from my little party still alive, so I was able to sacrifice one guy to escape. Then I made the mistake of attacking a caravan too early. I got squashed there too but was able to simply "leave". Right now I'm doing alright--I'm still building my army. So far I have 3 Lancers and 3 Horse Archers. I'd like to advance them more, of course. The Vet. Horse Archers are a really good troop to have. Now then--the Kherit are really good in the field of battle. Every troop they have (with the exception of Tribesman) will always have a horse. That ends up meaning that they're the fastest race, and horse swarms become quite deadly. You can just lead a large force of horsemen through the enemy line and kill a few off the bat, and as your forces splinter off, you can wheel around and go for a second or even third time. By then, it's just give the all-charge order. Anyways--the pitfall of this kingdom's soldiers is it's more difficult to capture or defend your towns & castles. That being said, when I will do my first solo conquest, I'll try to siege a recently-captured castle or town (so they have fewer troops & little food). Then it's the simple matter of filling my inventory with food. What I would like to do is split my forces up evenly--so that half of my army (Which will end up being numbered around 100) will be Lancers and the other half be Vet. Horse Archers. So yeah--I'm just setting up for that right now. Right now I'm also a mercenary for the Khan, so in ~2.7 months game-time, I'll no longer be required to fight for them. Quite a bit of time, but it's time that I only have to worry about getting into fights and advancing my renown rating and leadership skills. I don't have any companions right now, though. I want to get Jeremus at a minimum, and I can toss in a few other followers as well so I can specialize them. Jeremus is a medic--meaning I will just boost his intelligence each level. I want to get Ymira so she can be an engineer and tactician and I want to get Klethi (I think) so she can be my navigator (studying pathfinding, tracking, and whatever else).

Disbelief that we're not already dating and then Wayne's comments yesterday... :lol: Now I just want to find some really good Swiss chocolate. Oh and a teddy bear thing.

Well I was going to have her myself on Friday and let you have sloppy seconds on v-day. :cool: Ya know, because I'm cool like it.

See, you're operating under the assumption it's me you're having to worry about. You don't. I have absolutely no issue with anything that Alessia was a willing party to.

Your problem is that after a couple years of Counterstrike playing back in high school, she is no longer a willing party to anything concieved of on or by teh intarwebs. And quite capable of explaining this via physical violence.

how come all the lockage occures when i dont have intertnets.

i have internet now, and will resume hammering the **** out of any morons hammering the **** out of my board with spam.

im now in petersburg ak which is really ****ing small. they dont even have mail service here. the trip was kinda fun. i always enjoy flying becausetheres always the chance of your aircraft falling out of the sky. after 3 flights on aircraft of increasing age and diminishing quality, i gt here in one peice. the first plane was a nice and shiny 900 model 737. i spent most of that flight watching the seige of firebase gloria. second flight i ended up seated next to a pagan chick which made the flight go by rather quickly. third flight was a short hop on an aircraft thats half cargo plane and half passenger compartment. all the pilots and copilots had a since of humor. doing things like throttling up all the way before releasing the parking brakes. it was fun.

a weekend later and i have internet. so im not a total looser.

I also can't format the HD atm, i would loose 300GB of data. :mad:

This made a truly religious person out of me, and now i truly believe there's a heaven.
Because, if there's a heaven, there has to be a hell too.
A hell where such idiots who create such crap burn FOREVER!

And now i'm sitting here and dream about a better world.
A world without war, hunger, diseases, ecological and economical crises.
A world without reality tv shows and commercials and trillions of different standards for hardware and software.
A world where no one has to suffer, except such hacker idiots, those shall be tortured with bricks and then, they shall burn in hell.

GAH!

Freeware shmups... some of the most fun games out there, but beating a shmup on its hardest difficulty can be a maddening experience.

Currently I am getting pwned by the fourth stage boss in Eden's Edge, Doom difficulty. I find this dragonfly-looking thing to be harder than the final boss! (The FINAL final boss, on the other hand...) If I had had one. more. bomb... :mad2:

I don't generally use bombs, but that boss makes them necessary.

Don't lament, don't wish, don't hope, don't give any appearance of being 'desperate', trust me on this.

It creates an Aura, and women can pick up on that subconsciously, and it makes them lose interest. One of the strange ironies of life is that you will never find the girl for you until you are perfectly accepting of the fact that you can live without her if need be.

Seriously though, with you, I think it's companionship, without trying to go all 'psychiatrist' on you, I get the feeling that you've been let down by the very people in your life you should most be able to depend on, and that's left you finding affection wherever you can, and with a chip on your shoulder the size of Edinburgh ;)

Well, it's not computer related, more real life. Still sucks.

I took 3 days to get rid of most traces of the bastard.
The virus/ trojan was able to infest the system without my Anti Vir complaining about it, ALTHOUGH it's running on highest security level, the thing is even updating daily.

He created exceptions in the windows firewall to allow him to connect to the internet.
I killed the two processes via msconfig, but it was to late.
Couldn't launch the anti vir app to scan the system, couldn't access the registry.

So i tried mal ware remover.
It took 3 different mal ware apps to remove it ( the last scans have been negative before i found him in another process), but still no joy.

By accident i found him in a process named svchost, i deleted it but me thinks the virus still sits somewhere,  i tried several different Anti Vir apps, but none of 'em starts ( Anti-Vir PE for instance can't load the engine ), so i'm not sure if the results from the Anti malware scans are trustworthy.
I still don't have access to the registry and Firefox still wants to connect to the internet via proxy, a option i never used before.

Several applications refuse to start ( process explorer, 3DSMax, Nero a.s.o. ), reinstalling these apps didn't do a thing.

It seems i have to re-install the entire system, but i have to back up the data first...400GB of data ( ...which is a problem, i don't have a external HD, burning the stuff doesn't work ( at least with Nero, ahve to try with a different app ).

Cool!

Since my car died a couple of weeks back I decided to ride to work with bike today for a change. It's been a crap load of years since the last time I rode such a "long" distance (... 8km, one way) at one go so it was quite a hell. On the other hand, when I rode back to home I chose another route and it felt like nothing. Gotta try that route when going to the office next time.

That one is supposed to be one of the two easiest AP exams.

Well, Aftermath decided, after I breezed through the second Dreamland mission, that it was done ****ing around with me and it was time to get hardcore.

...now trying to complete any mission with actual aliens in it results in the messy death of my squad. Don't matter if you take heavy armor. Don't matter if it's enhanced. Don't matter if you're packing a full squad's worth of Steyr Augs and H&K CAWS (honorable mention to the plasma shotgun too). There is but one truth: you're ****ed if there are Reticulans in the mission.

Leave TUs for reaction fire. Give everyone Autocannons and HE rounds. Just absolutely devastate everything on the battlefield; screw collateral damage. Granted, these are X-COM tactics. Translate to your Aftermath accordingly. :D

That didn't work either. I think the game is connecting the Super Striker's performace to the user's throwing stat. It's a launcher for Chrissakes. Range shouldn't be affected that way.

So all my AR guys are now packing shoulder-fired missiles, and the sniper rifle people still have the rifles, but have swapped shotguns for M240 flamethrowers. The heavy armor makes things dicey, it's tough to get out of the way of incoming missiles with it, on but I'd never manage to haul all this weight without it and the microslug accelerators would rape my troopers without it. Just have to save a lot and pray.

It'd be nice if the snow we got stayed but NO! It has to ****ing rain the next day... And the next... And then more snow. Rinse and repeat.

families - unless you want to go to the terrain park, which is an entirely different story. I don't give half a crap about freestyle skiing though, so if you want decent alpine I would suggest Lake Louise over in the mountains.

In our town the saying goes "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes."

You live in Morrowind?

Not exactly, but it's still true.
I can actually say without a doubt that it's more true where I live. (Solopop can attest) Me and my friends were sitting outside of the store on a beautiful day, 15o and sunny. Half of the sky clouds over. It hails. It rains. The wind picks up and for 5 minutes we can't see in front of us for the snow. It gets even colder and the sky opens up halfway to sun, and it rains and hails for 5 more minutes. We're cycling to another friends house and another mini-blizzard hits. This was all within 15 minutes.

No. You don't.
As much as I hate dry and wet heat I can't stand the feeling of my throat combusting within five seconds of stepping outside.

Nailed it on the head. I'm in Colorado. Not as many resorts as where you are, but they're all within 1/2 to 4 hours drive from here. They're all pretty massive so I guess that makes up for their scarcity. The first shot is of Eldora. Just the local deal, nothing too special except the short drive to get to it. The other two are at Copper Mountain. You need to have some serious bawls to try the run in the third picture. It starts at a 90 degree down angle, stays between 60-70 most of the run, and is peppered with all kinds of drops (the 30 foot unexpected cliff kind) and rocks (the nature's analog to teeth kind). I dragged my dad down it. He wanted never to try it again. Ever.

I was driving illegally, and she and a cop both saw me do it. Nobody wrote down my driver's license number.

accident 2: rear-ended an asian woman's van, left some dents, she didn't get my license number, and didn't even report it.

accident 3: backed up into a little red car driven by a large (angry) black man. no damage, but he yelled at me, and then didn't ask for any of my info.

I've been having some problems with my WD external hard drive (one that gets power through the USB cord) so I bought a new 1.8m cable for $19.95. Unfortunately, the drive wouldn't work at all with it, due to the fact of it being 1.8m long (length = electric resistance). :ick: Fortunately it's working fine at the moment, and I've just done a backup in case it karks it.

As he's the only family member who maintains a stable job, our entire lifestyle may need to have a serious re-looking at. We will probably cope should the worst happen, but unless we're able to generate $40 000 per year for the house, I'm not expecting a bright future.

On my way home from school this afternoon, I saw up ahead one of those big black SUVs like a drug dealer (as opposed to a soccer mom) would drive. It was really shiney and it had super shiney spinners. As I drove past it, I prepared to laugh to myself about race stereotypes.

It was a very tiny, very old white woman.

As he the the only family member who maintains a stable job, our entire lifestyle may need to have a serious re-looking at. We will probably cope should the worst happen, but unless we're able to generate $40 000 per year for the house, I'm not expecting a bright future.

Well, as everyone knows calories and fat are simply a measure of how good food tastes. That's why steak tastes so much better than say... rabbit food (ie. celery).

Wrong.

Calories are a unit of heat.  Fat is a combination of glycerol and fatty acids.

Business as usual?

It was, I was saved by some "Graffer-dawwwgs" (Correct Term: Graffiti Artists) I knew from my old school, whom I hadn't seen in six years. Without them I would surely be posting from the hospital, my expertise lies more in the field of rhyming insults and only throwing fists while possessing numerical superiority.

My dream last night started off as fun (threesome with my exgirlfriends).

But then it became strange (the world exploded and aftwerwards everything looked like it was coloured--badly--with crayons).

And then it became stupid weird (I was a prostitute caring for my seven younger brothers and sister after our mother--who was a pterodactyl--died).

And then it was just ****ed up (some big bubble letters forming the word "Barbie" over and over again stalked and ate my littlest brother).

The wings were Dump Truck and Tubes.

The song on the YouTube link says "It's not a large truck, it's a series of tubes."

Lobo hated his nick, so I suggested that he consult an admin about it. I felt that, given that it is - was, rather - Lobo who's asking, there shouldn't be a problem. He's had an excellent track record, after all, what with solving the grievances of newbies and veterans and all.

In the meantime, I slept for twelve hours.

You said I was blind on IRC three months ago (Wanderer, you and I were discussing the swarm feature on primary weapons, I think, and I didn't notice that it was used in TBP). :p

I just learned that the word "opa" means "grandfather" in Dutch and German. Apparently, it's also used as an exclamation (in the same way as, "Oh crap"). I also noticed (not too recently) that the new fad on Failblog videos is to say, "Did he/she/it die?" or "I think he/she/it died.". The previous fad was some stick figure named Bob.

Harvard sent me an application in the mail. The application itself is the size of a large magazine. And then there's a three page letter on pretty stationary and also a pamphlet on how excited I should be to suck the dick of every admissions officer at Harvard.

Sounds...interesting, I daresay they're not used to the practice by now :P

I just beat Yukari Yakumo.  :cool:

Very nice, because that fight was bugging me. Her penultimate attack, "Border of Life and Death", sucks. Hard. Takes superhuman reflexes or a glitch to get through that without bombing a bunch, and I've only ever pulled off the glitch once.

Now to tackle Lunatic difficulty on the main game. If I can 1cc that, then I will have beaten every challenge PCB has to offer. Well, except capturing every single spellcard, I guess, but I don't know if I'm that determined.  :doubt:

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an American. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were American too. Not really knowing why but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
“Because I am not an American.”
“Then”, asks the teacher, “What are you?”
“I’m a proud Canadian,” boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a Canadian.
“Well, my mom and dad are Canadians, so I’m a Canadian too.”
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly. “What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?”
A pause, and a smile. “Then,” says Kristen, “I’d be an American.”

I just beat Skeith of .hack//Infection. Tough boss, involved several dozen revivals of fallen team members and lots of health restoratives (I blew through nearly 50 in the battle). When he can take 50 - 80% of your health away in a single blow and has a spell that targets the entire team with 100% accuracy, that happens.

The interesting, and awesome, thing about Skeith is that you cannot overpower him via level-grinding. Even when you've hit the level-cap (32, give or take) he's still a hell of a lot stronger than you, and you'll still need to be constantly healing to conquer him.

The fact that he has infinite HP is just plain annoying though... :doubt:    Makes it difficult to gauge how much progress you're making.

I played Mount&Blade for a few hours, completely and totally dominated, contracted a headache, and am going to bed. On a side note with M&B: if you are defending a seiged castle or town, there are often crenels on the battlements. Stand on there with a nice long-range weapon (my choice today was a Balanced Poleaxe, but my other favorite weapon of similar breed is a Balanced Military Scythe) and just start hacking away. It works on all ladder-sieges and should work too on catapult sieges. Combine that defensive spot with an order to Hold Your Ground in front of the ladder and they'll lose most/all of their troops, even when faced with overwhelming odds. For me, it was myself and a friendly warlord defending Reyvadin against basically all of Rhodocks (we rebelled against Vaegirs and they sent over 700 troops to capture that town). In total, we killed about 340 of 390 or so troops that attacked (the rest were KO'd) and lost a fraction of that--in the second of the two battles we had about ten die and about that many wounded. Needless to say, if the AI could copy a human's tricks, humans would be pissed off dying every battle.

Hm, that's bad.
You have three options now.

1. do nothing
2. Go to the camp and beat the **** out of the management with a Baseball bat.
3. Grab your brother, cut out a kidney and sell it on the black market, you'll get at least 5000 bucks.

I would recommend 1 or 2, option 3 could cause some trouble in the family ( unless everyone agrees to do it  :P).

Joke aside, i hope it's nothing serious? Anyway, get well soon.

In the first part they make a bigger deal that you eat the bugs when the stuff is supposed to be made out of those bugs' excretion. I'm sure more people would be squicked by the 'eating crap' part than the 'eating bugs' part.

I have apparently stumbled upon the soundfont used in the Creative SoundBlaster Live sound card. I've set XMPlay to use it to see how MIDI files sound like on this soundfont. So far, everything sounds brilliant. :)

CFBs Halifax and Shearwater are only looking for skilled applicants mainly over the age of 25. The navy reserve only operates during the summer; the army reserve is the only one with operations year-round.

Hey, before SMPlayer I used KMPlayer, and the only thing I didn't like about it was that I just couldn't get it to work with my secondary monitor so that it would a) automatically show videos in fullscreen on the secondary monitor and b) show the subtitles on the secondary monitor. It was always either/or. SMPlayer seems to succeed in this task, which is the only reason I switched to it.

Edit: One other thing I didn't like about KMPlayer: the uninstallation wizard was only available in Korean.

Earlier today I thought to myself "Damn, I'd almost forgotten how awesome it is to go wandering around town on a beautiful summer day!". Then I went wandering around town and immediately remembered why it sucks:
- there are too many people
- ice cream is ****ing expensive
- as soon as I buy a ****ing expensive ice cream and go walking while eating it, some henchmen from Greenpeace / that panda organization assault me and start extorting.

I woke up and ate breakfast. There were four buns on the table and I ate three (I saved the last one for my sister; she doesn't eat a lot).

The first bun had a hotdog literally covered in some sticky sweet-spicy sauce. That was delicious. :D

The second was some kind of ham-egg-vegetable mixture sandwiched in a bun. Urgggggh.

The last one had a fish-cake in it. Pretty average in taste.

As I sit here at the table in my bedroom, eating some morning cereal and listening to "American Dream (Afterlife Remix)", I learn that Michael Jackson has died at age 50.

I painted a car for TrackMania in The GIMP, added an alpha channel with my (very old) Paint Shop Pro demo, and then converted it to .dds with Paint.NET. Unfortunately that old demo of PSP has a habit of stuffing up .tga files making them appear melted, which I forgot about and didn't spot until I got it in game. So I tried to convert my .psd to .tga again with GIMP, but it had not saved properly, meaning I had to fix it up as best as I could manually. :mad:

Well, I decided to name my Vasudan charicter Sutehk, after looking at a list of Egyptian names I had around to help with naming ships.  So far the story has a prelude for those unfamiliar with freespace, a short prolouge, and over half of the first chapter.

Anybody ever played Giants? Did I just sink $10?

The game was fun, imo, but in the later missions ( of all campaigns ) tough.
The Kabuto campaign is frakkin' cool, Monsterrampage describes it the best. :D
It also has a quite intruiging dark-ish humour. To sum it up, i liked it. :yes:
That's my personal opinion, though.

Oh, and get yourself a walkthrough ( when you get stuck ), it's not always clear what ( or better phrased how ) you're supposed to do ( unless you have a tendency to light sadism  :D :D ).

2) Installed and max-modded my Fallout 3, including all the DLCs.
3) Did the same for my Dark Crusade
4) Installed Oblivion, modded it a little, but holding out till I get Shivering Isle and the DLCs.
5) Joined the Army.

Did anyone else feel time stop today? I left Tura's later than I should have. He's 45 minutes away from class usually.

First, I got ****ing rear-ended.

Then, I got totally caught up in this mess. (http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5490209/)

And since my family no longer has cell phones, and the radio was being ****ty and not reporting anything, all I saw was this for twenty minutes because that intersection was backed the **** up for like a gazillion miles.

3.0.11 is correct. There has never been a 3.4. I recommend getting 3.5; it seems to be faster.
Either you get a faster browser or, as in my case, you get one with lousy usability. I swapped back from 3.5 to 3.0.11 because, somehow, box focus would change in the middle of writing a forums. That plus I hated the "New Tab" button on the tab bar: that is entirely pointless to me, personally, as I'm more of a shortcut typist then a mouse clicker.

Title: Re: Whatever happens in your life III: The Search for Spock
Post by: Dark Hunter on July 05, 2009, 05:29:52 pm
From what I've seen (meaning Rebuild 1.0), they seem to be better than the series.

The Rebuild movie did away with a lot of comedy, so overall the tone is darker and more serious, which is good, because I felt that the more comedic feel of the opening episodes clashed with the later despair and psychological problems the series is infamous for. The music is also a lot better (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyHDzxyKeWs) than the original.

Also, Ramiel (the giant octahedral Angel) is much more awesome now.

In conclusion, I think it did a better job of telling the story than the series did.
Then again, this is only the first movie of four, so time will tell if the rest are up to that standard. At least they promised to re-do the ending... maybe it will actually make sense this time. :p    The second movie is only just premiering in Japan, so I don't know too much about it, except that they've changed the story quite a bit, so, no matter what, it'll be interesting.

Rebuild 1.0 comes out on DVD in the fall, if you're wondering.

I personally recommend not touching Eva at all, because as wonderfully deconstructionary as the series is, it is unable to harness the power of it to create something entertaining, and many of the characters will provoke horrible rage as they behave in such a way that you are totally incapable of relating to them.

Conversely, I really enjoyed both the show and Rebuild 1.0. (End of Evangelion, not so much).

I don't think the show is really 'deep' or anything like that, but there's some good action and fun twists, and the whole thing is just dark enough for my liking. Rebuild just distills and polishes that to the point of being excellent. :D

My Dad installed Linux Mint on the Laptop.
Looks pretty good! I'm liking it, especially cause of the fact that GIMP doesn't crash on me every god damn minute anymore (VISTA).
Here's a picture I've started working on, started from scratch  :p

On a whim, I decided to try to find a Chansey holding a Lucky Egg. With my Stantler (with Frisk) at the front of my team, I went around searching, but no Chansey turned up. So I decided to just start using Zen Headbutt on everything so I could get some EVs with my Power item. I jokingly thought that I would find a Chansey with a Lucky Egg when I ran out of PP for Zen Headbutt (not that I would be using it on a Chansey, since it would take it out in one shot). So, I ran out of PP for Zen Headbutt, and started to walk up to the Pokemon Center. Then I encountered another wild Pokemon:

Quote
A wild CHANSEY appeared!
Go! KIRSTY!*
KIRSTY frisked its foe and found one Lucky Egg!
What do you know?

*Kirsty is the name of my Stantler. :p

Well in my experience of FRED and watching others learn, there's a small initial learning curve, but what you really need to have to be a good FREDer is Good Ideas. However as FREDers continue to FRED, they seem to pick up a few along the way. The execution, is what experience helps with, however it's not always the case.

Learning how to FRED a simple mission is quite easy if you're patient. However, FRED can easily qualify as a PopCap-esque game - easy to learn, difficult to master.

- Original purpose of "Whatever happens in your life" was to post events of some significance or interest in your life.
- Topic(s) has since been derailed by posts like "I farted", "I woke up", "I'm browsing HLP" and other useless spam.
- For small talk there is #hard-light (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,62431.0.html).

You can create new "Whatever happens in your life" topic, but please do keep above points in mind when posting.

I built a computer and rebuilt it a few times. In the past 2 years, here's the notable work (including upgrades).

#1 (main PC originally): E2140 @ 3.2GHz, 1x2GB DDR2 800, HD3850, 320GB drive, Thermaltake 500W
#2 (more RAM, swapped gfx, new drive): E2140 @ 3.2GHz, 3x2GB DDR2 800, 8800GT, 320GB + 1000GB drives, Corsair 750TX
#3 (swapped gfx): E2140 @ 3.2GHz, 3x2GB DDR2 800, HD3850, 320GB + 1000GB drives, Corsair 750TX
#4 (upgraded from Athlon 64 3500+ and swapped in gfx): Athlon 64 X2 4200+, 2x1GB DDR2 800, 8800GT, 160GB drive, Antec 400W
#5 (new PC for friend): Phenom II X4 940 BE, 4x2GB DDR2 1066, HD4870, 1000GB drive, Corsair 650TXD
#6 (<$160 to build new machine from scrap): Athlon 64 3500+, 2x1GB DDR2 800, 80GB drive, OCZ 500W
#7 (new drive, swapped RAM): E2140 @ 3.2GHz, 2x2GB + 2x1GB DDR2 800, HD3850, 320GB + 320GB + 1000GB drives, Corsair 750TX
#8 (swapped RAM): Athlon 64 3500+, 1x2GB DDR2 800, 80GB drive, OCZ 500W

Obviously my main box has gone a long way. 2GB RAM to 6GB, swapped graphics cards a few times, went from a single 320GB drive to a pair of 320's and a 1TB drive. This new PC is going to go to my step-dad for a bit; I may as well take over his P4 + 512MB DDR2 + X300 box after swapping out some parts. He'll get the the Athlon 64 with 2GB DDR2 I suppose. I ought to see what I can do about my sister's PC, in the way of an upgrade. I suppose I could swap in this new 780G+SB700 motherboard, but I don't think I should. I finally got her darned system running properly (I didn't build originally, I rebuilt it) with the X2 4200+. She had that terrible GeForce 6150SE (or some BS like that) chipset on her motherboard. We were lucky we got the late-version PCCHIPS A13G+ V3 (IIRC) because it was at least usable with a mid-to-high-end graphics card. I wouldn't but a HD4890 or GTX275 in there, but it's plenty for an 88GT. I want a new graphics card for my system, though. I am really tempted to buy the same X4_940+790GX combo for $205 or something now, but I don't know. I ought to have asked for that instead of the $160 for a few more parts... :( the only one of which I actually NEEDED was the motherboard ($65 open-box).


And no, but cranky admins who care about non-offensive spam in a non-post-counted section do.

I got back from Georgetown University 4 days ago.  Spent three weeks there studying media and politics, simulating the Congress of the United States in Congressional workshop, and visiting fun places like the CIA. We debated issues like if human personhood should be defined at the moment of conception, whether marijuana should be legalized, if the death penalty should be abolished, if all references to god be removed from U.S. federal documents, whether the U.S. should launch a military attack on N. Korea, if the U.S. should withdraw from Afghanistan by August 2010 and whether an amendment banning same-sex marriage be added to the U.S. Constitution.

We decided that human personhood should not be defined at conception, that marijuana should be legalized, taxed and regulated by the FDA, that the death penalty be abolished, that all references to god should be retained, that the U.S. should not strike N. Korea, that the U.S. should not withdraw from Afghanistan so soon and that the U.S. should not ban same-sex marriage. Among other things.

I also got to meet with my Representative's Chief of Staff, Ms. Conchita Cruz, and have a chat about how congressional offices are run and how the Speaker of the House relates to the other members of congress.  I also ran into a senator from my state on the way into the Congressional Offices. That was mind-blowingly suprising.

There's a lot more to these stories, but for now, this will do.

 I will note that on the flight home I was listening to Darius' Second Reality tracks, and we had to turn to avoid a thunderstorm, so the clouds were quite billowy and awesome. Right as the normal section ended and the battle started, the entire plane rocked impressively from turbulence.  Best coincidental choreography of RL and music ever.

And for some reason my computer is lagging in its display of entered text. No, its display of everything. **** this is annoying. happens every 3 seconds,. I WANT TO DESTROY EVIL THAT CAUSES THIS ****.

I've learned quite a lot about how my stomach operates. Apparently, I cannot eat or drink anything with lots of milk or peanut butter in it for breakfast, because if I do, my stomach goes on strike for the whole morning. The only kind of fried rice that I can eat without getting diarrhoea is the fried rice cooked by my mum.

On Thursday, I ate two slices of cheesecake for breakfast. The result: three toilet breaks in the space of two hours at 10:30 in the morning.

Cut an effective wait time of twenty minutes off my journey by changing at bakerloo and catching my train at farringdon instead of poxy elephant and castle. Yay me!

I just got this year's AP Scores back.

AP Chemistry:                                        3
AP English Language & Composition :   5
AP U.S. History:                                      5

I was expecting a supreme fail on the chemistry, so that 3 is a welcome score.

That leaves the score card at:

AP Chem: 3
AP US Government & Politics: 3
AP World Geography: 4
AP World History: 5
AP U.S. History: 5
AP English Literature & Composition: 5

And I was just informed that I was one of last year's AP Scholars.  If the College Board sticks to its award guidelines, I also now qualify for AP Scholar with Distinction.  The next highest award is the AP National Scholar.  I'm taking AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Japanese, AP English Lit & Comp and AP Psych next year to qualify for it.   

Life is jammon.

It's a tradition among our circle of friends to have "Crappy Movie Night" once a month. It's part DIY Mystery Science Theater, part drinking game for those of us who drink, and part "it's a ****ty movie so we can socialize over it if we like, but it makes a nice excuse".

This time I didn't have to provide the movies, which is a pity since I have the DVD of Manos now...of course, it would be hard to compare to our legendary viewing of Battlefield Earth...

How do you do that? If I did that, nothing I did would have any sort of continuity from mission to mission. I can't FRED fast enough to keep that level of detail fresh in my mind.

And now you've gone an asked a question I can't quite answer. :P

Seriously though. I can't quite answer that because I'm not sure. I've never been terribly fond of outlining to begin with, preferring to extemporize detail as I go along under an overarching objective. I do it well, but why this particular method works for me I can't tell you. At times I've viewed it as having a finite amount of creative energy for the project at hand and outlining burns it up, but I'm pretty sure that's not really true.

Keep in mind that planning document was for a whole campaign. :P I prefer to write things down so I can look at it whenever I want to and add to it, I don't trust myself to remember things like that for more than about 15 minutes, and occasionally after being "inspired" I'll have a brilliant series of ideas, and writing them down in that mindset makes for an interesting read down the track.

Normaly I don't post around but well.. this is something to share I guess..

I wonder if this is about people getting scared or people getting sick.. the first option is more likely and all thanks to those damn news-chains, they kill themselves for a note like this and now they got a hole country in fear :no:

So I got Ace Combat Zero, because I figured it had good music from what I've seen on youtube and it's probably not terrible.

...I can't stand it. I mean, it's not a bad game, but it's terribly schizo. It's got a setup and feel straight out of WWI in a modern setting and it just doesn't work when you have more than passing familarity with air combat. The time I spent with Falcon 3.0, years ago when it was new, has totally ruined this game for me.

It's still a great game. It plays great, and the story I've seen was good, but it's just so wrong.

I just now realized that my love of FreeSpace and my ability to sleep at night are not getting along.

But it's not what you might think. I have a roommate who snores, and I can't sleep because of it. Also my parents snore, which is no fun on family vacations. Anyway, I was looking up Noise-cancelling headphones on Wikipedia, because I only just today found out this technology existed (and commercially, too!)... anyway, to quote from the aforementioned article:

Quote
Dr. Amar Bose (founder of the Bose Corporation) began work on his noise-cancelling headphones in 1978 on board an airplane. During the international flight, he was provided with a set of headphones from the airline and almost immediately realized how dissatisfied he was with their quality and the loud engine noise. After nearly a decade of research, Bose would release the first noise-cancelling headphones.

Well, unfortunately for any FreeSpace fan, guess who owns the registered trademark (http://pro.bose.com/ProController?url=/pro/products/freespace/fs3.jsp) for FreeSpace 3? That's right. Bose.

This isn't a serious observation, just a funny coincidence. [megaphone]Move along, people, nothing to see here.[/megaphone]

I just now realized that my love of FreeSpace and my ability to sleep at night are not getting along.

But it's not what you might think. I have a roommate who snores, and I can't sleep because of it. Also my parents snore, which is no fun on family vacations. Anyway, I was looking up Noise-cancelling headphones on Wikipedia, because I only just today found out this technology existed (and commercially, too!)... anyway, to quote from the aforementioned article:

Quote
Dr. Amar Bose (founder of the Bose Corporation) began work on his noise-cancelling headphones in 1978 on board an airplane. During the international flight, he was provided with a set of headphones from the airline and almost immediately realized how dissatisfied he was with their quality and the loud engine noise. After nearly a decade of research, Bose would release the first noise-cancelling headphones.

Well, unfortunately for any FreeSpace fan, guess who owns the registered trademark (http://pro.bose.com/ProController?url=/pro/products/freespace/fs3.jsp) for FreeSpace 3? That's right. Bose.

This isn't a serious observation, just a funny coincidence. [megaphone]Move along, people, nothing to see here.[/megaphone]


I have a few Guitar monitors made by them, they're quite a big name in the Audio business, mostly on the performance side, but they've been spreading to home stuff as well.

But do they own the trademark for Freespace 3: ______? That's how they got around with the first Freespace... tacked on ": The Great War".

Wait, what? I thought the story was that they couldn't call it "Descent: FreeSpace", not that they couldn't call it "Freespace"?

You're right on that one.  But probably they would also have had a beef with Bose if they just called it FreeSpace.  Anyways,  they could just slap something on it like "Descent: FreeSpace - The <insert appropriately doomy and apocalyptic name here>" for FS3.

I met my friend today and taught her how to use the Mass Rapid Transit's General Ticketing Machines (GTMs). I showed her how to use it by adding $15 to my transport card, then oversaw her doing it herself. When the both of us were done, we had just under a minute to catch the next train, so we made a run for it. On my advice, we both ran up the stairs instead of using the escalator.

She also questioned my real age because, from her point of view, I'm physically 18 years old, but my mentality approaches that of an old man ... or even an Ancient. :nervous:

Ignore your ex. If she responds, don't answer her. Trust me, brother, it's for the best.

Now then, I've been reading a bit lately. I want to buy a pair of speakers but I'm not sure exactly what yet. I'd love another pair of Polk SDA CRS+'s... they'd be my first choice based on experience and the fact that they're the smallest of the vintage SDA line. I absolutely refuse to get any bass-reflex speakers (based off of two qualities; two tones of bass and muddied midrange) and acoustic suspension speakers are too expensive and high-power for me (I can't afford a real 250+W amplifier). That leaves me with just passive radiator speakers. All I'd really need is a 2x50W amplifier and I'd be doing quite well. A power amplifier would work as well; I'd need to find a decent preamp though. Current thought is to buy an external DAC/headphone amplifier/stereo preamplifier. I'm leaning closest to the Audio-GD Compass as it has all three features, does them decently, and is still portable enough that I can bring the amp and a laptop to college with me. I won't be moving 30+lb vintage speakers. I'm going to see about borrowing and testing out Polk Monitor 5's. The 5JR+'s are smaller of course, but I doubt they'll have enough bass for some of my genres.

I messaged my ex-gf on Facebook. Then I attempted to defend this course of action on IRC. Then I went to bed and couldn't sleep because the roommate wouldn't stop snoring. Then I didn't wake up, and ordered pizza from Dominos, cuz they have that 2x Tuesday deal on Tuesdays and it's Tuesday, then I went to school and drew boobies in class (it's a Life Drawing class, i.e. Figure Drawing), then I hung out in the student lounge, then I got bored and walked home and went on the Internet.

Ignore your ex. If she responds, don't answer her. Trust me, brother, it's for the best.

Saw 'The Watchmen', it's apparently a movie drawing a lot of polarized opinion. I found it very enjoyable, and a refreshingly mature approach after years of X-Men, Spidey and Iron-Man.

It's not for the faint of heart, certainly, but an extremely enjoyable movie if you are the sort of person who likes movies where even after it is finished you're still asking who was really the 'bad guy', because it depends entirely on where you stand when you look at the outcome.

Mine are under 2, so they are still very kittenish in a lot of ways, which is quite cute, but the smallest one has a habit of waking you up by shoving his nose into your nostril and pushing whilst purring like a Buzz-saw, which is not the best wake-up call in the world.

Currently just over 1.75 hours late for work. Purposefully, they've come to rely on me for most things, which is good. But this will "encourage" my colleagues appreciation of just how much weight I pull. I played the flu card, ;7 I should roll in about ten o'clock just three hours of them treading water. That should be enough.

As we say around here, "pisteet sulle".

Just came back from swimming. Hot, sunny summer days are the best possible ones for swimming, since most people will automatically ignore indoor baths and you can easily commandeer an entire track for yourself.

I'm talking to a guy 200 miles away about buying a pair of Polk SDA-CRS+ "V1" speakers with the original interconnect cable. He's asking for $250 but I don't want to give him that much; perhaps $200 or something. :drevil:

me and my sister just made blueberry muffins from scratch. we even picked the blueberries ourselves earlier today. after trying several methods to extricate the small grubs that live inside the berries, we finally stopped trying and simply decided not to tell the rest of the family about the larvae content of their muffins.

*edit*
dispite the worms, the muffins were delicious.

There are worms and eggs and crap like that in everything.  Just cook your food and don't think about it.

Yet another example of 2 people who need to learn about health, have some self control, and self respect. That looks nasty :D Even though they smile, they couldn't possibly feel good health-wise or appearance-wise. I look at people who are obese and I think of them as lazy and taking too much for themselves and they did do it to themselves and it tells me somewhat what their personality is like the 3 things I just mentioned. People tend to think "oh, it isn't their fault" but I disagree and their is always a way to prevent it with knowledge. My green tea helped me a little, for example, even though I was not fat. If I notice I am gaining some fat, I will simply not buy certain foods, like ice cream, for a little while and lose the fat.

It does affect me if they don't share anything with others and that is why they are obese and I get angry and others starve because of their indulgence. It can affect me and others because it is selfish and deprives others of food. That food would be put to better use in Africa :p The world needs its food supplies more evenly distributed and not unbalanced geographically.

Actually it does in a way, Medicare is based on the idea that in the prime years of peoples' lives they will be relatively healthy and pay into the the system, only needing to draw out post retirement and old age starts kicking in. When a large percentage of the people are morbidly obese, they start having health issues during their prime years and start drawing from it much earlier when they should be in fact paying in.

That said, this probably isn't the thread for an indepth disscussion of obessity issues, unless your looking to bring about The Undiscovered Country.

Cheese cake or those donuts with cream filling are better. I wouldn't care much for dry cake, assuming the chocolate cake was dry textured.

Sometimes for my birthday, I choose to have a large donut with that white cream inside instead of a cake. It was better to me.

I went to RoboCup yesterday, and my team didn't do very well. We were doing Premier Rescue, and in the first two rounds the RCX robot just wouldn't follow the line (it did work on the practice mat, and we had taken readings from the competition mat). In the third round, after some adjustments, it did follow the line, but they had the water tower in the second tile, and we had no way around that. So my team only got 10 points. But I don't mind, it was a good day. :)

Just got my hair cut on baker street by a 19/20 year old australian called Emma. Had a good old chat about music etc when she mentioned she was single now only having been in country a month. I took the oppertunity to deny her a cash tip. Instead promising to burn off a copy of the new ministry album I bought this week. That resulted in jumping and a hug. I'm meeting her for lunch tomorrow. I predict conquest within 2 weeks, boredom within 2 month. IF I decide to persue that course of action. . .

The Final Frontier

*giggles like a little schoolgirl*

I win.

But to actually be on topic, to anyone who remembers this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,57448.0.html) thread, we broke up for a few months because she just couldn't handle the fact that I was non Jewish. We didn't see each other much until December during which I said some rather hurtful things to her that left her sobbing for about a week. She went back to Boston, and we didn't talk again until the middle of March this year...after she apparently decided to forgive me almost completely and that she loved me too much to let me go, goyem or not. So we were kinda-sorta in a relationship until she basically asked me to spend a month and a half with her in Boston during this summer, which I said yes to after about 17 microseconds of thought. We ended up driving each other crazy, but still somehow managed to have a wonderful time. Although we both were too sick on the fourth of July to go see the Boston fireworks :sigh: It's safe to say that she's committed again, even though she hates the distance and is trying to see me as much as possible.

Also, I got diagnosed with cyclothymia (mild bipolar disorder) and after lots of arguing (Ashley was against medication, actually) I got talked into taking abilify. Currently into the second week and no side effects other than some low level nausea. Fun Fun all around.

I don't understand.

Apparently at the point where the extension cord and the heater plug (I know it's not a good idea to plug heaters into extension cords, but it wasn't me) there was a flash and a bit of a flame (hence why I saw a glow shine through under my door) and now there's a burn mark on the carpet.

I screwed around with an unactivated "restricted" Vista install. Turns out that they made a huge mistake with their help file. You can launch up Task Manager through there and then start Explorer, thus circumventing 90% of the activation BS. Still can't break activation but you can at least use anything you need. So I reinstalled Vista64 on another hard drive (a faster one actually). I've got to see about the Vista32 install that broke. Unfortunately, I had to use a Vista disk to repair the MBR after installing XP Pro (for some good old C&C:TFD). Oh well I guess; at least it's fixed now.

I've only got to wait a day until the end of an auction I'm bidding in. In a perfect world, I'd get the item for $75 + $85 shipping. Max I'd like to spend is $115, though more likely it'll close at $165 or so. If it goes above that, I won't buy.

Just finished The Aeos Affair for the first time.  I actually didn't find it nearly as difficult as it had been hyped to be, at least on Easy difficulty (several missions in PI gave me far more trouble), but it's a very solid campaign nonetheless.

I don't know why the hell I decided to submit myself to this torture, but.... my current shmup goal: beat Subterranean Animism's Extra stage.

I can barely make it past the stage! Let alone fight the boss!  :(

Seriously: in most Touhou games, some improvisation is doable. Not so here. Your run has to be perfect, you have to be in exactly the right place at the right time, or all your lives are gone in ten seconds. Survival in some areas even seems to depend on how powerful your shots are (it isn't rare if a shmup becomes more difficult in this case, it is rare if it becomes impossible), and your bombs drain power from your shots, so the moral here is: don't bomb. Ever. :(

This. Play 7.3.2 on the game mode where you start with a set amount of RU, you call your fleet in within 30 seconds, then fight with what you have (no more harvesting/building). Best when used with the second smallest RU allotment.

it's really just a matter of having the right shader and getting the textures into the right .hod  if you're using modded ships that have the original textures in hw2, making them work with the modded ships is basically a process of reimporting the textures.

Got an original pair of Polk SDA-1 speakers today. Set them up and started listening. First thing that was noticed was that none of the tweeters were working. So the fuses are checked and all are found to be bad. Replaced them and listened again. Not so lucky this time either; one of the tweeters was definitely killed. Now I'm going to have to find a replacement for a 25 year old tweeter. Had I gotten SDA-1A's, I wouldn't be having quite this problem (as I'd have access to eight of the tweeters used in those).

I slept in this morning (I get up between 6 and 7 all year long- I just try and get to sleep on time. it works). Had a dream that my dog was a otter or something like that.

Woke up a minute before my mom came in. Turned out we had an eye appointment in HALF AN HOUR. So to punish her, i took it easy.

got some instant oatmeal going, added a tsp of sugar and a tablespoon of cinnammon. ate half of it while i was still heating up the water. went upstairs, got dressed. Went to the eye doctors. I'm getting new glasses in a few days. Got chinese food for lunch. Now i'm sitting here wondering what to do.

My parents woke up to find that we have a major bee infestation in our crawlspace. So we lit off a bug bomb and spent the day at our friend's cabin, which we've been helping him remodel. Which would have been fine, except he broke his leg yesterday trying to get rid of a bee nest by standing on a ladder with a blowtorch attached to a stick [Deliverance Banjo]  :P So we got there, and there was nothing to do, since he wants to personally have a hand in all of it. So I wound up sitting on our old furniture, trying to get the converter box on the TV to work, and pestering my parents to kick out my sister and her DS so I could watch Monty Python on the DVD player. Now we're home, the bug bomb (Which they bought when they still lived in a trailer) didn't work, so now we have to call an exterminator. Whole day wasted.

And I got a tablet. But I can't use it. See my thread in Fan Fiction and Art for the tragic story.

Medieval 2 really is a ridiculously awesome game.  The style's not really my speed, but watching some of the situations my brother's managed to get himself into while he played through it has been greatly entertaining. :p

My computer has been doing some wierd stuff lately. First there was a mysterious STOP error saying something about the page file using an area it was supposed to or something, now it always uses the page file, even though memory usage was below the amount of physical memory I had.....or so I thought until I went to run ccleaner to get rid of the 1.3 GB (!) of windows temp files, and it said my system only had ~240 MB of RAM (and I ran DXDiag to confirm it). Conclusion, based on that  , I believe one of my memory sticks died, causing the STOP error the other day. I'll switch the socket on the remaining stick to make sure it isn't a socket problem, and then if it isn't then I'll go buy some new memory. If it is then I'll buy more memory anyway because this isn't enough.

I decided to give Marathon a try, since it's free now and I need a new game to waste my time on. :p

So far, it's pretty good. Only complaint is that everywhere pretty much looks the same as everywhere else, so it can be hard to find your way around, but that's not the game's fault, really, just a by-product of its age. I spent endless hours playing Descent as a kid, and now I'm appreciating the memory-mapping skills that developed. Finding it easier to ignore the game's map and just rely on my own sense of direction. So far, hasn't let me down.

It even managed to give me a bit of a scare.  :D
In the first area, was wandering around in some ventilation ducts and a S'pht (or however you spell it) appeared around a corner and killed me. That startled me. Just goes to show that advanced graphics aren't necessary for immersion (though I'll admit they help).

Technically it would be "The Future Begins" as it was the slogan used on the movie posters.

I'll probably uninstall FS2002. That's the only big (as in how much space taken up) game I have on my C: drive apart from FS2 (which takes up more space than the whole Program Files folder including FS2002).
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9786/piechartofc.png)
The main hog in my folders (Users) is all my cars for TMUF. I wish there was a way to have them on a different drive but still usable by the game, but the only way to do that would probably be to move the whole Users folders or something.

Sitting, waiting for everyone to wake up so we can go to church. Once my grandparents leave, I'm going to mow the lawn while everyone else sets up the new desk, then I can use my tablet!

Pretty good haul this year; my grandparents mistakenly got me a Stewie Guitar Hero Shirt (http://cgi.ebay.com/Family-Guy-Stewie-Guitar-Hero-T-Shirt-Large-NWT_W0QQitemZ230362187174QQcmdZViewItem) along with a graphic shirt and $60s for phone minutes (Though I can't get rid of the ones I have  :p ). My neighburs (older couple, I help them with the gardens and house) got me a new camouflage shirt and hat to replace the ones I outgrew and lost, respectively, and a graphic shirt (Similar style to the other one, different design and color. Coincidence had them buy from the same brand/line). And my dad gave me his barely used iTouch for school.  :)

I thought I killed a tweeter and then put it back in today to find that it sounds fine. In an bout of dumb luck, I guess, it survived an oscillating power amp due to my stupidity. I swapped the tweeter to a lower-power/lesser-important position and it seems to be working fine. So now it's getting a lot less power and thus staying cooler, hopefully meaning that the tweeter doesn't need to be replaced for a good long time.

You know, I actually thought you meant 'Twitter'. Goddamn Singapore programs asking us to 'Twit' them.

I'm deciding on between buying a Star Wars collection, with Empire at War, Battlefront 2, KoTOR, Jedi Knight II and Republic Commando (SG$70) or buying Prototype(SG$65).
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life V: The Final Frontier

Oh, the collection, definitely. Prototype is good but it's not as good as those games put together.
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life V: The Final Frontier
Post by: Stormkeeper on August 25, 2009, 07:19:42 pm
Collection, eh... I want it, I'll admit, but the fact that EaW's expansion isn't thrown in is putting me off a bit ... and the expansion weighs in at a good 35 bucks on its own. But you can't find Republic Commando anywhere else in Singapore, not to mention KoTOR and JK 2 there ...
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life V: The Final Frontier
Post by: General Battuta on August 25, 2009, 07:34:01 pm
Look. Trust me. You'll get more fun out of one of those games (KOTOR or Republic Commando) than you will out of Prototype. And I liked Prototype.

You absolutely must buy that collection.

I consider games like KOTOR to be similar to DVD's like Reservoir Dogs, even if it's something you only get the urge to watch or play once every six months, it's still something that you won't regret buying.

Have to go with that. Plus I love Revan's mask. 10 minutes into the game and I went digging around for it.

Also they finally fixed the cloth mesh for his robe! Made one whole new animation from scratch, I heard.

Don't-shave-for-2-days-before-consuming hot. Sadistic-ballsy-asshole hot. Half-a-dozen-really-hurts hot. Flame-thrower-crossed-with-pepper-spray hot. Feel-it-burning-in-your-stomach-for-a-day hot. And ohhh, so delicious!!! I opened the fridge and got a good whiff of the wings and my mouth was watering for hours. After all, no pain, no gain.

Yeah, you're partially correct. The Vaygr, on the Complex mod, are a little unfairly balanced to the Hiigaran as they can basically start pumping out Battlecruisers before the Hiigaran player even gets destroyers. This usually offsets the fact that the Hiigaran have many more units than that of the Vaygr. The Vaygr can completely destroy the Hiigaran fleet before they can even utilize bigger ships.

But here's the good thing, if the Hiigaran fleet does manage to survive the Vaygr lolercruisers, and gets to the last level of engineering, with the science station, crew station, shipyard, and mothership still intact, they can do some serious damage. The Battle Ark is very powerful, and can take down many, many enemy lolercruisers easily. Then, there's the Super Mega Ultra Mothership, with Torpedoes, nuke(s?), heavy ion beams, shield, super heavy ion beams, flak, more speed than a destroyer, more armor than 10-20 destroyers, more drive than a destroyer (which I assume is acceleration), and finally the ability to make a ton of ships can easily **** up your ****.


Also, I may have caused Flint to delete his FS folder and leave this forum forever, or, I hope I did. This may just be like the usual and he comes back after a week with the same crap about how we should all play FS multi with him.

Normally they call me Stormy, but what the hell. Sounds the same.

Anyway, today I watched with no small amount of amusement a pair of young children, one young girl, one young boy, both around 7~8. Boy was teasing the girl, the girl was telling him to cut it out. Boys being boys, he didn't and eventually the girl cried. Boy immediately stopped, tried to get her to stop eventually picked a random flower from the ground to give it to her and told her, "Next time you cry, come find me, I give you flower, okay?" The girl immediately stopped and said, "Okay!"

1) I have plenty of replacement parts and more are easy to find.
2) Passive radiators (smoother and deeper bass extension).
3) Crosstalk cancellation (better than Phase Linear or Carver's methods, as well as better than simulated surround sound with Dolby) for a wider sound-stage.

I got my poweramp back; it works still. :) In a similar line of thought, I am also waiting for about a day until I bid on a pair of speakers. When I move back to Miami on Sunday, I'll bring an integrated amp to power the smaller speakers. Gonna make sure that the old amp still works fine; it's been in constant use for something like 16 years now. Only today has it really been retired. Also put together a speaker cable for when I leave in a week. I made it rather short; about 4' total. The general idea is that, when I arrive in Miami, that I'll cut it to the required length to connect both speakers on the same desk. I've also got two banana plugs OR I can do bare wire. I'm not sure which I'll use, but I'm leaning towards the banana plugs.


In one week, I'll be in Miami once again.

The iPod probably isn't helping...the bright backlight is hitting the receptor at the back of your eye and telling your brain its morning.

I don't suffer from insomnia that often...but the only solution I've found is to make sure everything is perfectly dark and as quiet as possible.

My Acer laptop (8930) has gone to hell in a hambasket again, now the audio control doesn't work and if you try to restart it it comes up with the letter "Y". Sometimes even 2 Y's. Ah well, what are warranties for?

My solution to insomnia is to go out, completely drain yourself of energy (20km hard hiking usually works) and then go to bed. Oh right... You're all really old. :p

Whoa, really? It's pretty basic.

The operating principle is this: the auctioneer puts up an item and asks people to throw out bids for it. Someone bids, say, $100. If nobody else wants the item badly, it goes for $100. But if someone else wants it more, they'll bid up to, say $120. Now the original bidder has the chance of raising to, say, $140, or just giving up and leaving the item.

It's a tradeoff between how much you want the item and how much you're willing to pay, with the person willing to pay the most getting the item. Basically, it allows people to put their own prices on an item. So if you absolutely MUST have those socks, they're worth more to you than to anyone else, and you will pay more than your competitors. You'll continue outbidding your opponents until you're either out of money, unwilling to go any higher, or you've won.

Really, all markets are auctions; this is just more direct.

Continuing the reasoning for auctions (and auction sites)...

There are some things that you just can't find anywhere else. Craiglist works, but only if you want to do local pickup. My example of what you can only REALLY find on an auction site? Vintage audio gear. Stuff pops up regularly, making eBay a better place to shop for used equipment than almost anywhere else.

I don't get the point, at least the buyer's point of view.

A lot of auctions start with the item below market value, at least in terms of eBay. So really the auction is more of a "what is the best offer I can get for this because I can't sell it for full price". Then different buyers compete to give the best price.

Alternatively, if something goes for more than its "worth". Then the buyers are determining "how much is this worth to me?" and they pay that amount (or are willing to pay).


A show like Antiques Roadshow is kind of odd for example. The appraiser often says "this would probably go for 2000 dollar" or something to that effect. But the thing is, the Painting is only worth 2000 dollars if someone is actually willing to pay that amount. Estimated value and actual value within the auction just depends on who is there bidding really.

Actually, pulling/biting is one of the worst things you can do to toenails (or any nails, for that matter, but the big toe tends to be the real danger zone), since that can easily lead to ingrown toenails in the first place.  Peel them too far down on one side, and the new nail that starts growing in can easily slip under the skin, become ingrown, and create a lovely nasty infection. Let them grow out beyond the edges of skin on the sides, and just trim straight across from there.  Take it from someone who had to get multiple ingrowns on both big toes repaired, to the point where the podiatrist finally cut them down to the root and alleviated the problem entirely.

This has been Fun with Toenails, with your host Mongoose.

So, anyone else looking forward to "9"?  I'm hoping that it's good and opens the door for more movies that are (quote from one of the commercials) "Not your little brother's animated film".
It's great to see the American animation industry finally taking a stab or two at more mature-oriented entertainment (besides banal adult-targeted sitcoms, that is).  I hope it works out for them.

Marched at the first football game of the year today.  Did wonderfully.  Almost lost my class ring at the school though.  Fortunately, there is always one door into the school open at any given time.  This time, it happened to be the custodial entrance.

Have you ruled out ID theft?

I think it was maybe IDT the first time, but the debt guys aren't very co-operative when you start demanding proof that you are the one who owes the money - usually 'cos they don't have anything that would stand up and it is against the rules to badger the wrong person.

The second time out it was our Child Support Agency, who are beneath contempt.

This time it's just a company trying it on; they've been named and shamed many times on the TV and various consumer forums for pulling this kind of crap, but our hopeless government won't shut them down.

Unfortunately, the UK has so much overdue personal debt now that a whole industry has sprung up around selling it on to dodgy companies who then use various tactics to collect the money - from whomever they can.

They won't get anywhere with this one, but it is a pain in the arse.

Just watched my Hokies choke yet again. The anxiety over what team is going to take the field on any given day is starting to wear me out. We haven't had a remotely predictable season since Brian Randell. Is it bad when you wish the season was over already after the first game? Seriously the most piss poor offense the team has ever fielded. Why the hell are they even ranked let alone in the top 10. They always do horrible when they start the season ranked so high.

Sorry Drunken Post.

Although i've never met a Corporal I didn't both respect and get on with. There were a few dodgy Sergeants, but that's to be expected. . . I feared quite a few as a recruit. But that was novelty. . .

Well you'll find very early on, it's a LOT more than grades that you'll need to get a spot in flight school. Unless you're in America, where no-one washes out of Flight School. :P But seriously, acing Calculus'll show your OSB that you can achieve results and may convey some motivation, but it won't tell them about your drive to be a pilot, your suitability as an Officer and the better part of your actual aptitude to be a pilot.

Ah yeah I think I mostly posted that to procrastinate doing work as I am now. Along with getting information. But it's good, I can catalogue it for future reference for an over-ambitious-never-will-be-completed mod I have in mind.

I though beams were hardcoded since I could change the colour of them in the tables but apparently they have a texture which is good.

I'm no believer in fair fights at all TBH, the only place that happens is in a ring, and besides, he's the one who started the fight, saying "I gave him ****" and he was going to "smash me" (and I've said like 20 words to the guy all year, I still have no idea what he was on about). On msn, when it came to real life today he couldn't look us in the eye or even say a word, IMO, he deserved everything he got for being an "MSN Warrior".

Bah. Fair fights are a myth, right up there with the tooth fairy.

Whereas a kitten is:

And the fact that people feel that way towards creatures that are not human and prefer those "useless but cute" features when they breed them, like flat faces and small full grown sizes and feel the emotion of "cute" towards non-humans seems to defy what people call evolution. Maybe it means there is more out there than evolution, even though many won't open their minds enough to accept that. If evolution is all there is, then what a sad existance this is and it would make the universe simpler and not as interesting and would lessen the chances of a life after death. There is a good saying "there is more in heaven and earth then is dreamed of in our philosophy".

I love cats and think they are cute.

To be honest, I prefer the good old fashioned 'moggy' to 'purebreeds', they tend to have far longer lives and better health, kind of the same with purebreed dogs compared to bitsas.

In honesty, the there's a difference between breeding and evolution, it's unnatural selection, if you like, but in many ways, it does prove the point of evolution, that if one factor of an animal is multiplied through repeated breeding, like the flat face, that it will become a more predominant feature of that breed. Humans tend to take it to extremes, where animals have trouble breathing etc, but it needs to be remembered that, in the wild, such a set-up would soon mark them up as a dead end, it's only because of human intervention that cats such as that continue to exist, same with long-haired breeds such as Persians.

Most modern cats are related to their ancient Egyptian ancestors, which don't look all that different to todays cats. To be honest, Dogs are more interesting, because no other species has such as vast range of shapes and sizes that are all, technically, inter-breedable.

15 hours until I can attempt to "snipe" a mislisted item on eBay. ;7 And I can't wait until my speakers arrive in a few days. In the family, we already own a ****load of good speakers...

Advent Mini's from the 1960s-70s
Polk SDA-1's
Polk Monitor 5B's (I think)
Polk SDA-CRS+'s
Polk SDA-SRS 1.2TL's
Polk Monitor 5 Series 2's

Hoping to add a pair of Polk Monitor 7C's too. Those would be "inserted" between the Monitor 5B's and the CRS+'s. Other than that, I'm eying an early model SDA-CRS's, as well as a pair (or two) of Polk Monitor 5JR+'s. All items I'm looking to snipe.

And the fact that people feel that way towards creatures that are not human and prefer those "useless but cute" features when they breed them, like flat faces and small full grown sizes and feel the emotion of "cute" towards non-humans seems to defy what people call evolution. Maybe it means there is more out there than evolution, even though many won't open their minds enough to accept that. If evolution is all there is, then what a sad existance this is and it would make the universe simpler and not as interesting and would lessen the chances of a life after death. There is a good saying "there is more in heaven and earth then is dreamed of in our philosophy".

Is this supposed to be some subversive form of religious missionary work?
What does cute have to do with "is there a God", let alone with evolution?

Recognizing the beauty of something has nothing to do with evolution.

Finding kittens cute or puppies for that matter has to do with their vulnerability and our natural drive to be parents and protectors. This is common in all animals. There have been many cases for example where a small dog or cat has been introduced into the family of the opposite and the mother cat has adopted the puppy or the female dog has adopted the kitten.

Most or all of our behaviours can be attributed down to biological instincts.



And what did I do today?

I procrastinated writing this message.

Kittens and puppies are cute enough to look at, but that doesn't make me want to be around them any more.  I'm perfectly happy being a non-animal person and limiting myself to lolcats. :p

how can you hafe a discussion about kittens and not post any pics! insanity!

anyway i saw inglorious bastards on saturday. it wasnt what i expected. but it was kinda intresting none the less. now its back to work, as soon as the boss wakes up and tells me what im supposed to do today. im ready to head back to petersburg myself. the idea of physical labor has always sickened me. good money, but like its gonna get spent on anything that i give a **** about.

also i think i may have seen my ex + about 50 pounds. not sure if it was her or not. but if it was shes been pigging out the last year or so. these days id rather beat the **** out of her with a gardening implement, maybe that mattox or axe i used when i was removing stumps. theres also a chainsaw in the shop. yep, i definately need to get out of this hellhole. my other ex, still maintains radio silence. she has shown intrest in ****ing my brains out on the internet. seems she chicken****ed her way out again. women just cant make op their ****ing minds. it wouldnt bother me to take what ive earned and head home at all right ****ing now. i want to go back to the woods and mercilessly slaughter all kinds of critters. at least there i feel somewhat (anti)normal, and i can actually get some programming in.

no #'s exchanged, so i am concluding its a 1-night stand. sweet
hope it does not spread IRL, because i am known as a nice guy, which is how i got her (+booze) and would ruin/awkwardify female friendships, which i also value.

I store all my X-rated stash on my laptop and back them up to DVDs for every 4.35 GB of files collected. I currently have five backups.

Oh yeah, there's this one other thing my sister wanted me to do...
/me starts up the PC in the living room.
/me runs a scan using AVG 7.5 with 543-yearday old virus definitions.
/me downloads Avira Antivir Personal 9.0 from his MacBook and saves the installation file in one of his thumbdrives.
/me uninstalls AVG 7.5 from the PC and restarts it.
/me installs Avira Antivir Personal 9.0 on the PC.

Right after installing Avira, it detected ise32.exe, a Trojan horse, in C:\RECYCLER, and TSAdBot.exe. It also detected the worm autorun.pex in my thumbdrive's autorun.inf file, which keeps re-creating itself for some reason.

The PC is currently undergoing a full system scan now. Once that is done, I'll write my own autorun.inf file into my thumbdrive and set the file to read-only. Hopefully, that'll prevent autorun.pex from trying to re-create itself.

I got my new (to me) pair of loudspeakers. A pair of Polk Audio Monitor 5 Series 2 speakers in good condition. Got them and saw they were packed OK though still a bit inadequate. Midwoofers are both fine, tweeters both work. So I moved around my desk again--originally I had it one way in the corner, moved it so that the desk faced my bed a few days ago, and now moved it so it's in a roughly 45o angle in the corner, pointing the speakers out into the room. The speakers should be further apart but, well, oh well. I don't have enough speaker cable to have them a distance away from each other and it's not like it matters--I only have half the room and the room's split into two narrow strips. I wish it was different (having two wide strips), so that way I could set them up more properly. But oh well--I can save the neighbors' nerves by staying closer to the speakers. They're very nice--I have a similar pair (same model, earlier revision... Monitor 5B's) back home, but I haven't listened to them very much at all.


Listened to a ****load of music.

Boiled 2 1/2 pounds of potatoes, drained the water, and then threw them into the fridge.

Yesterday at school we had all sorts of presentations about things we would have to deal with in the future (organ donation, finance, presentation for job interviews etc.).

However, by far the standout of the day was the docu-drama we were shown, of a car accident. Unfortunately the fire engine and helicopter were dispatched elsewhere and were unable to attend, but the other emergency services and the funeral directors were present, as well as some of our classmates acting as the victims (since this was a docu-drama for us as teenage drivers). It was indeed rather confronting. After the performance we got to talk to the various people involved and ask them questions about their job or listen to their stories (as we had a paraplegic and a quadriplegic present as well). It was a very enlightening two hours.

after caking myself with all kinds of drywall mud i hopped in the shower to remove it from my hair. i got talked into house sitting while the boss goes to china for a month, and it will be no easy sit because the boss gave me a 3 page long to do list, which hes still working on.

however this morning ex #2 emailed saying she wants to "hang out". i foresee some vagina in my near future.

Speaking of vagina, I just saw the end of Starship Troopers for the first time. Man, how'd they get that past the studio?
Wait, what?

OHE WREARY?

I very much enjoy vectors, actually. They're quite fun in calculus and engineering applications.

As a whole, I've not enjoyed classical physics courses to date as they abstract the process so much that what actually is going on seems to get put out of perspective. I much prefer calc as, although it may take longer to model the system due to procedure, you actually see the mechanics in action. Hooray for calculus!

It depends on your parents more than the dog, most Dogs when bought into a house with a cat will get along just fine unless they are encouraged to attack it, so if they are doing that, remind them that such behaviour will get the dog removed and put down. From what I can gather America is even more strict about violent dogs than the UK is.

Speaking as someone who has owned several dogs and cats at once, it's my experience that dogs and cats come to an understanding pretty quickly.

Dogs got the short end in my house. One very tempermental cat and one smarter-than-both-dogs-put-together cat meant that the dogs were terrified of one, and the other liked to manipulate and taunt them for his own amusement.

Cats can take care of themselves, even against large dogs. They aren't exactly helpless, declawed or no (both my cats were declawed).

I just had dinner and a show: live Tetris Vs.

Bunch of guys hooked an Xbox to a TV in the cafeteria and were using it to play Tetris against all comers. Had several epic games, one of which was nearly 15 minutes long. When that one ended the whole place burst into applause, especially since the winner had been about two to five lines away from losing for most of the game.

Times like these I am so glad I go to a geeky college. :cool:

Not quite so. The longer a topic is, the longer mysql query is to show the page you requested. In other words, it's not a myth that really long topics slow mysql queries down.

And now for something completely different...

I recently purchased the Metroid Prime trilogy.  Been dumping my hours into it when not at work.  Work is going better now that the sprinkler system is in, trenching sucks.  So my tasks are generally less intensive and less prolonged now.  Also noticed that I am indeed getting stronger, as pounding in metal posts to keep trees up was not near as hard on my arms as it was a week ago.

I have completely spaced what I was gonna say next, so that's all I guess.

Tired.

We lost the football game, but we had a good marching show.  Debate tournament went well.  I went 3-2 without a shred of evidence (or my own case.  I had to borrow someone else's) all day.

Scholar Bowl qualifier is still Tuesday, another debate tourney on Saturday.

It works fine for me so far. I've converted two AVI videos with it with no problems, although I had to manually change the settings so that the converter will scale the videos down instead of squishing them (both videos had a size of around 1280 x 800, and the converter scales them down to 640 x 480 by default, causing the picture to look a bit squished).

It doesn't matter what society's standards are. If you're not happy, get help.

Wait, what?

So let me get this straight. If I'm feeling down, I need to see a counselor? Is going through "bad days" suddenly not part of the normal human experience? Are people completely incapable of just solving their own goddamn problems?!
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life V: The Final Frontier
Post by: General Battuta on September 30, 2009, 08:01:51 pm
Well, that kind of reaction suggests you do need some help. The first thing any good counselor will do is give you an inventory to see if you are just suffering from a bad day or if you're genuinely depressed.

You just suggested you've been unhappy since seventh grade. If your unhappiness has gone on that long, then yes, you need help. The main criteria for distinguishing depression from a simple bad day is the duration of the event.

I am unsure why every conversation with you turns into an eruption about how society is somehow malformed. You can take some solace from the fact that depression is extraordinarily common in adolescents, and it tends (for various reasons) to lift.

If you are socially isolated, this is a major contributing factor. The 'solving-your-own-problem' complex is a symptom of the tendency to treat depression as a shameful individual problem rather than a real, insidious, pervasive, and sometimes unbeatable disease. Getting help doesn't hurt, just like getting some suspicious symptoms checked out won't do any harm.
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life V: The Final Frontier
Post by: Thaeris on September 30, 2009, 08:21:42 pm
No one likes to be told they need help. This is universal. If you truly are alright, then fine. But you do come across as being in a rather bad way...

I will confess I've been to the point of suicidal depression before. At the time, however, I was sensible enough not to do something stupid. After talking to enough of my friends who weren't helping me with my problems, I finally forced myself to see a counselor. Just talking to someone about the problems I had helped tremendously.

I'm not trying to infer you're in a similar "boat." Everyone goes through rough periods... and on to more rough periods. But, if you're truly not well, the sooner you get in touch with someone who will listen to and help you with your problems, the better. I'll confess that semester was an udder disaster and forced me to switch schools. But, I did come out still breathing...

Anyway, have a debate tournament tomorrow.  Colleague has been sick all week, so it is a crapshoot as to wheter he will be there or not.  If he is not there, I get a maximum of a C- on my semester grade. :blah:

Rounds only go up to three, waves only to five.  After five waves of two dropships each, you finish a round.  After three rounds, you finish a set.  Sets go on ad infinitum.

WARNING! INCOMING AGGIE ENGINEERING JOKE!

They say that if you're in the engineering department you should keep your class schedule on you at all times, because it just might save your life.

So this good ol' Ag from the college of engineering is walking home one night and takes a shortcut through Northgate (the local bar and restaurant district). On his way, he gets held up at gunpoint by a mugger in a dark alley. "It's your money or your life," he says. So, our student pulls out his class schedule and hands it to the mugger. He looks down, then hands it back saying, "Oh, I can see from this that you have neither," and lets the guy go.

Just finished up a replay of Second Great War Part II, for the lulz.  You know what the really amazing thing about the campaign is?  It may have reams of cringe-worthy dialog, some ridiculous gameplay elements, and no real coherent plot to speak of, but the things it doesn't have are show-stopping bugs.  Other than the failure to close a one-mission SOC loop, which resulted in the "Exit Loop" button displaying for half of the campaign, I didn't see any truly notable issues at all.  It may have earned its well-deserved reputation due to its lolwut storyline, but it has fewer issues than the initial releases of several legitimately good campaigns I can think of.  Just something to think about. :p

[20:29]   <Androgeos>   If I sleep for five to six hours, I'll get very cranky, and I'll move slower than a snail.

Now, if you've played a Pokémon game, you probably know that Geodude like to Selfdestruct all the time.

So I was battling a Geodude. I sent out my Togetic, and selected Metronome. I thought 'how funny would it be if he used Selfdestruct?'

I looked up from my DS for a moment, and when I looked back down...

You really should, the EPIC will not leave you disappointed. Graphics might take you a while to get used to after having the SCP spoiling us for the past years :p But Wing Commanders story is unbeaten in my eyes.

So hold on now.  If the interview goes poorly do you get Exterminatus?
Yep. If it's really bad, you get declared Excommunicate Traitoris, that's all. Nothing much.

I have a weird ... well, sore on my lip. I think Nurgle or the cement I was handling before might have something to do with it. Or it could just be a lack of water.

Oh, I'm quite alright I'd say. Seeing a grown man and woman bawling their eyes out was a completely different experience though. My heart goes out to his little brother, by the time he found him, he'd slipped out of the noose he'd constructed using an electrical extension cord tied to a tree branch and was lying face down in the dirt. He's not going to forget that anytime soon...

Yeah, they had to sedate his mum the night it happened. As his for his little brother, he's been away at a close cousin's (home isn't really a good place, it's a Sri Lankan tradition for everyone to go to the house of the person who died ASAP, so space is in short supply). Last I heard, he was in no state to come home.

That looks damn interesting. Wonder where can I find that kind of stuff in Singapore ... at present, my cement comes with a brush attached to the handle, so I use that to drip it down the partially sealed seams before pressing it shut to let the excess overflow and form over the seams.

Its a bit hard to do with the brush, so I've been thinking about using a syringe or something ... but if I can find something like that it'd definitely be much easier.

Recieved notification of a $7000/yr minimum scholarship today, got a tour of the Kansas State University campus (including their nuclear reactor :D :D :D).  Then learned that yearly costs are ~$15000 (more than that if I'm going to go with a dual major in Chemical and Mechanical engineering).  Here's hoping for more scholarships.  OTOH, there are classes to learn how to operate the reactor, and the entire thing can be learned in ten months.  It then becomes the highest paying, least competitive part-time job on campus (it's run entirely by students).

Hey, more power to you if you can pull it off, but as I understand it chemical engineering is hard mode. I'm majoring in mechanical myself, and that's enough. I wouldn't claim it's as hard as chemical or nuclear or something, but it's certainly no walk in the park either.

I'm going to be on a five year graduation plan if I do.  Not going to cram 30 hours of classes a semester, believe me there. :ick:

Anyway, had some fun coming up with ways for guns to shoot without gunpowder.  Two hours later, had a scale drawing and a (I hope) sound concept.

4 1/2 to 5 years is about the standard for ONE engineering degree around here. It depends on how many credits you have going in though.

So anyways, how are you going to make a powderless gun? Compressed air?

You laugh, but an engineering MASTERS takes about five years where I'm going.  At least, that's what they said at the visiting day >.>

On the gun, sequentially triggered electromagnets.  I have a scale drawing if I can ever get this damn scanner working.

Wouldn't it be better for them all to turn on at once, then off one at a time as the projectile passes?

 :ick: That's what I meant.  And actually, they are supposed to turn off just before the bullet reaches them, so no chance of drag is present as the projectile passes.  The timing on that is going to be a ***** though.  We (friends) ruled out some sort of "tripwire" that would shut off the next magnet in sequence because we didn't know how the magnets would affect it, and that it would become too complex.  Otherwise, the moving part count stands at six, two of which are optional.

Have one of those written up, but it is a little more difficult to draw in paint, and I prefer standard.  40 in. isn't that unwieldy, and when made completely of composites, not too heavy.  It might be a little unbalanced to the front, but it shouldn't be too bad.  The only pieces of metal on the entire frame are the magnets and little bits of wire.

EDIT:  That thing seem so simple.  Is there some basic fallacy to the concept that keeps these from being built?

How much energy would be needed to fire a 10 gram slug of metal with these things then?  I mean, geez, they don't all have to be on at the same time.

EDIT:  At this time, I would like to point out that the muzzle velocity goal is not some gigantic number.  I would be happy with subsonic speeds (work on getting it up there later).

The new CSM (client service manager) my boss, is talking about potentially not paying overtime already owed.
I'm about one misplaced word away from throwing the cats prick through a bloody wall. If not the first throw i'm sure I can rage on him enough to do it on the twentieth go.
 
Not cool, I rarely get this incensed without some form of drink or stimulant. . 
I'm gonna ask to go one level up in the chain if he fails to at least pay whats owed (time and a half for three hours) plus i've got some time in lieu i'm cashing in.
 
My minds all over the place and I need to compose myself before eleven. I'm having a "quiet word" on my initiation.

I recently watched a video called "Draw with me",  which is thought to be one of the most depressing works on youtube.  It even had a "watch at your own risk" in it's tvtropes article.  Now, perhaps this is just proof that I have a heart of stone (I really hope not) but I fail to see why it has that much effect on people.  Sure, it is definately a downer, but its not going to cause me to break down sobbing.

My back is aching quite a bit. The only reason I can think of is that I'm pushing it far beyond what it can handle. At the moment, I'm carrying a backpack filled with a one-litre water bottle and my MacBook to school every day, while at the same time taking the steps (including escalator steps) two at a time at a very fast pace (but not enough to be classified as running). As I've said some time back, school's in until Christmas week, so if I keep on going like this, my backbone will most likely be destroyed by December.

I also note that Snail's back under the Inferno flag again. What happened?

Yep. In essence, all we have is a marching show. Playing the same 10 minutes of music and marching the same 116 sets of drill for ~500 hours of practice per year gets tedious.  :P

Competitions aren't bad, but they're far and few compared to the practices. And pep band is just about the most pointless part of it. We play the same 3 tunes at games over and over, just because we never have time to practice them, and no one wants to listen to Shostakovitch at a football game. And I already spend more time around the guys in the band than my family, so there's no issues there. Still, everything BUT the pep band part is all right. If I played brass, I'd go out for corps after high school, but I'm on sax instead. :(

Yeah I would boil if I was using it. Instead I usually drop a pretty penny on bottled water every time I'm at the store.  I'm thinking about filters but I'm not sure how effective that would be.

Ear surgery, to reverse minor hearing lose that would have gotten progressively worse. Probably will have to have it done all over again in 2 or 3 years, though.  :doubt:

'Was working on concept art for... "Terran Chronicles"... or whatever we eventually decide on calling it. That was yesterday; still not done with the current project.

Then, I spent most of today reading James Mahaffey's Atomic Awakening. It's a very pleasant and light read pertaining to physics and chemisty. The narrative format if quite good.  :yes:

I did a clean install and upgraded from Windows XP 32bit to Windows 7 64!  I now have a full 4gigs instead of 3.5 and my computer is running like a dream.  I installed Fallout 3 and on Ultra settings it ran smoothly.  Not only that but when I switched back to my other programs my computer was only using %40 of my RAM! When the computer was idle it ran at %27-29 and that's without any Firewall or Anti-Virus software up and running.

So I got this book, Anthony P. Tully's Battle of Surigao Straight, 'cuz I read his work on combinedfleet.com and it was good. Figured I'd learn stuff from it or at least enjoy the writing style.

I'm only 13 pages into the Prologue and I've already learned more about Japanese circumstances and plans prior to Leyte Gulf then all my previous readings on the subject put together.

This is a damn good book. If you have any interest in the subject at all, go purchase it right the hell now.

I'm thinking of buying a new laptop. I don't know though; a 15.6" screen seems mighty big. I really want something more like 12.1" or 13.3", max of 14.1". And it's not like the resolution is great either; the 15.6" screen ones I'm looking at ($450 with an Athlon II, 3GB DDR2, 250GB drive, Radeon 4100 IGP, Win7 32-bit) ($650 with a Pentium DC, 4GB DDR3, 250GB drive, Radeon 4570M, Win7 64-bit) are pretty nice. On the other hand, there are a few 11.6" laptops popping up with Core 2 Solo's, 2GB DDR2, 160-250GB drives, and your standard Intel IGP. *Shrug* I'm most disappointed that there are so few laptops with a matte finish. On the other hand, I'd like to buy one with two batteries; a tiny one for when I'm plugged in (so I don't cook the expensive one, and if I lose power for a second or a few minutes I don't get shut down) and a large(r) one for a bit of mobility. On the other hand, my netbook (original EeePC 900) battery runs about 3-4 hours now, far down from the prior 5.5 hours.

My CSM was ****ing awesome. He stood in the middle of the road, hands on his swagger stick, which was pointed side down on the road like a sword. He looked like some legendary warrior. And when a car approached, he just stared the driver into stopping. ****ing A.

I ran Check Disk on my external hard drive when prompted, since I knew that there was some corrupted files on there. Unfortunately, it also removed a folder that had photos I was going to use to make a collage for our school magazine this weekend. Meaning that I have to wait until Monday to get them back, and we want the magazine finished by Friday (unless Recuva finds something, but I doubt it will). :hopping:

I feel very sick. Woke up this morning aching all over. When I got to school, I had a backache so severe, I couldn't concentrate during class. After school, I returned home immediately and went to bed without eating anything for lunch. I slept for about six hours before waking up to be greeted by a headache, and while I was eating dinner, I defecated in my underwear.

I'm now crawling through HLP and trying to find something that's worse than everything I wrote combined.

Funnily enough i've just been out for a few freaky halloween style drinks with work bods nothing heavy. . And I found out that someone, someone very high on my top five workbirds list who i'm getting on well with is quite scatty. For you non-brits, that means she's although highly feminine, I can have a right good chat with her on a blokey level. Also when she drinks she's 'handsy' with me but accused my mate of being a letch.
 
All in all i'm going to ask her out for a drink soon. But she works with my ex, that may not be a good idea but male drives supercede common sense some times. Sod it. . . She's hot. That's good enough for me :)

He's trolling for tail with a hot chick who can do the dude-talk thing and likes getting grabby-grabby when she's had a few, even though it's probably a bad idea because she works with his ex.  That's what I got out of it, anyway. :p

Oh Christ it is horrific. He sent us on a 2 mile run carrying the heaviest guy he could find on a stretcher, plus some tires and oil drums. :(
But it is all worth it, when doing combat drills, not getting tired makes you feel pretty badass. :D

Amusingly enough, the fact that the conversation was laced with abbreviations tells me it's a military conversation. And I actually understand what they're talking about.

Though, I never had the fortune to do BMT. As long as you've had a major operation, you're relegated to support duties. Still, I guess its good that I got posted to a pretty good camp.

My dear old mum was a staffy in the QAMC she's a trained CMT. Since retired to raise my little bro who's now seventeen she did a fair bit.

Just discovered a bug in a mission I'm making that makes an Orion destroyer spin like a top lengthwise.

Colossus has nothing on this.

(I accidentally told the Argo that docked to it to dock to another ship.... without undocking.  It then decided to try and dock both at once, and the Orion just went with it. :lol:)

EDIT:  After I thought I fixed it, the damn thing started up again.  This time while I was right under it.  It killed me instantly. :blah:

I won a round of poker. I was playing with my roommates Josh & Mario. Mario was short-stack, I was tall-stack. The blinds are 20/10, I straddle putting forward 40. Josh goes All-In on pocket 8's. Mario calls him with suited Ace-Queen. I'm looking at suited 4-6 and think that I should just fold. So I fold, right? Nope. I call Josh's all-in and have him covered by about 100. Main pot is between all three of us (about 1000 total), the side pot is between Josh and I (about 400 total). So the flop comes and I'm looking at two pair; a 4 and a 6 came on the flop. Josh is looking at a single higher pair with a good possibility for a Trips, Mario's chasing a Flush. I'm sitting back thinking I am probably beat. After all, 2-pair doesn't often win. So first turn does nothing for me. We're waiting on the River. On the River comes a 4; my Two-Pair becomes a Full House (4's full of 6's), beating Josh's new Two-Pair (8's full of 4's). Mario missed out on his Flush. So I win and bring in the entire pot; I was tall stacked before but now they're both out.

I've seen online quizzes with side-by-side pictures charging you to "Pick the real child molester!", so with that in mind, it did come across as a joke.  Though if you weren't familiar with that sort of thing, I could see how it could seem far more sinister.

Posting in a thread I said I wouldn't anymore, now that it's far friendlier as a whole.  It's amazing what a day's worth of perspective can do.

I recently found out that during some recent Summer, someone using my name called up all of the asian girls from my high school. Note, I was in high school as little as 3 years ago.

I don't remember anything like that, so I'm kind of weirded out.

I just got back from a debate tournament.  My colleague and I went 3-2, 21 speaks.  (for those of you not in debate, a "speak" is a speaker point.  Points are determined according to a speaker's rank in round.  The best gets a "1," next a "2", etc.  Two people to a team, winning team must have five or below, losers must have five of above.  The smallest amount of speaks one can recieve in a round is three, most is seven).  21 speaks means that we had three perfect rounds, one split (a five, also a loss), and a perfect loss (a 7).

The 8th place team was 4-1, 22 speaks :ick:.  Meaning that we spoke better, but the judge didn't like us that much.  We had a creepy fat guy judging us in a round where my colleague and I debated two hot debate chicks.  Guess who won that one. :doubt:

MW the first had two flashback missions, they were just contiguous.

I still say he's dead, or, barring that, he wouldn't be in the field due to seniority, given that Soap's clear up to Captain by now.

Price is in 2 different environments,  see him twice in snowy enviroment, once more in an arid one, while the player drives a jeep onto a plane.
but yeah, you'd think he would get a promotion...

Just two open-note essays though, so it should be good, even with minimal studying I've already done.

Afterwards I intend to watch those two episodes of Monster that got recorded last night.

studying is overrated.
I got 83 on a physics midterm, class average: 54.
my hours 'studying' less than 1
average: a bit more than 1.
I think the key is to UNDERSTAND, not 'know' the material, and once understood, further dedicated studying time is pointless.

Oh, believe me, I know. "Minimal studying" in my case means "going to class and taking notes". I do generally review the finer details of stuff before a test, though, not that this generally takes any longer than, say, thirty minutes.

For the last ten days, we've had a sub for four, every single one of which we were starting a new section of said chapter.

Said substitute is trying to teach a Calculus class to seniors in high school the same way his college professor taught him... thirty years ago.  From a different chapter.

Said substitute is greatly confusing.

I just wish he could have had a puppy or two. 
I may well get drunk at the weekend and dig him up to have him stuffed.
 
Seriously though. . . . What a ****ing dilema, my paternal Nan is in the same boat and probably won't make xmas.

Then again, I don't play 6 as often recently, due to mainly focusing on 12's Extra; while Flandre is a fun boss just for her infamy (and UN Owen), Nue of Touhou 12 - Undefined Fantastic Object is a much more awesome fight, IMO.

I wanna buy a $600 laptop...

--11.6" screen (1366x768, unfortunately glossy finish)
--3.1 lbs
--Core 2 Duo 1.3GHz (<10W TDP)
--2x2GB DDR2 800
--320GB 5200rpm drive
--Windows 7 HP 64-bit
--Intel 4500MHD
--802.11b/g/draft-N & Bluetooth EDR 2.1
--Webcam & microphone built-in
--"8+ hour battery life" (I'd more accurately guess 5-6 hours)

Absolutely awesome price, size, and features. I'd much prefer an 11.6" laptop with a 1.3GHz C2D than a 15.4" laptop with a C2D 2.6ghz. I'd have to be a touch careful with Win7 though; WinVista played OK but not perfectly with my Allendale-1M @ 1.6GHz and was noticably slow @ 1.2GHz. Then again I ran a relatively large program set. Other than stuff like GameJackel, I won't need half as much I don't think. What I do like however is that it's similarly priced to a few Pentium D-C's at 1.3GHz but the Core 2 Duo has Virtualization; makes it easier for a laptop to run a 2nd OS.

I've beaten Ran, Yukari, and Suwako. I'm pretty close to beating Nue and Koishi, while Mokou and Flandre still give me some difficulty. I also attempt Hard difficulty whenever I get bored of Extra stages killing me, or in PCB's case, Lunatic. I found PCB's Hard mode to be surprisingly easy, for some reason.

And I've got a term paper due in six days :ick:

I have the 14 day trial of EVE online.  But I can only play one or two hours a day because the download used half of the 5 gb monthly allowance.
EDIT:  Did a little thinking.  I should have around one more hour than I thought.

Got only two hours of sleep last night due to massive insomnia and having to get up (for me) at the ass-crack of dawn to run a sibling to an orthodontist's appointment.  As a result, I conked out on my bed much earlier tonight and woke up in a puddle of my old drool.  Man, I miss doing that at college. :(

That will change you. Unless you get into **** which can take years to get over, you'll never have trouble sleeping again.
 
Edit- weirdly enough, I felt a bit odd without my dog sleeping on the foot of my bed. But slept sound as a newborn.

Post by: Nuke on November 14, 2009, 04:21:32 pm
i thought it was one of the best games that ive played in a long time. plenty of missions, lots of mission variety, lots of destruction. i like when you get the missile tank or combat walker, and you cant see whats directly in front of you because theres too many explosions and theres debris flying everywhere. id definately beats the **** outta the first 2 red faction games. the plot ties in heavily to rf1 and im not sure how rf2 fits into the scheme of things. there were even a few freespace references throughout the game. hearing subach corporation named on the news console and theres an achievement called freed space when you knock down 50 aircraft. i didnt like the fact that you werent allowed to pilot the planes anywhere in the game. when youre done it opens up the map and you can complete any of the missions you missed.

the game had some rather annoying civilian traffic patterns. the ai of which didnt know if you blew up a bridge. kinda funny watching cars drive over downed bridges falling and exploding. they also react in the worst possible way to collisions usually driving into you trying to push you out of the way rather than backing up and letting you by. i know rocketing the civilian traffic made my borale go way low. some of the vehicles had guns that sorta reminded me of interstate '76 and had some pedestrian carnage like carmageddon (however not done as good as either game). lack of variety in vehicle weapons was kinda lame.

i didnt like the whole games for windows integration and the joystick support kinda sucked. the game wouldnt see my joystick most of the time and when it did you couldnty bind everything to it. for example in wheeled vehicles you can bind the steering to the joystick, but you cant bind the forward/back to an axis, probibly a minor oversite or a bug in the code. but at least you can steer them with the joystick, makes them much less dificult to control. for tanks i managed to bind the rudder pedals to steer them freeing a hand to operate the turret with the mouse, however the game still doesnt see my throttle. walkers on the other hand i just use mouse and keyboard. the game reaks of conole type input code. like the tanks if you rotate the base more than 90 degrees in relationship to the turret the controls reverse themselves. but other than the shoddy input code the game was awesome.

Oh yeah and a guy asked me for my number today. I gave it to him primarily because I don't know how to say no.

I'm currently downloading a file that's taking forever to load. It's a tutorial video by my lecturer for creating a base mesh of a head bust in Autodesk Maya. The mesh should ideally be done by Wednesday, because that's when my completed base mesh will be imported into Zbrush in school. However, not only are the tutorial files big, my connection is also a bit slow as of late. In addition, I need to do up a cart in Maya as well for another subject, and I only have two-thirds of a day to make both of them.

My advice would be to strengthen existing knowledge. . . . . Also you waited until now why?
Oh, I moved up a maths stream at school for Semester II, and I was only given a list of what was in the exam about a week and a bit ago, so since then I've been dedicating <30 mins of learning Semester I stuff a night, but apparently that wasn't enough..

What's in the exam/what level of maths are we talking about here??
Tenth Grade High School Maths.


I got ****ing raped. But thankfully, so did the rest of the class. :P

Just had a bit of bad luck with Hold'em...

Playing a game again with the 3 roommates. About 4 hands into the game I am dealt pocket Ace's. As big blind, I use my option to raise the bet from 50 to 200. Mario calls, Chris and Josh both fold. Flop comes and an Ace of Clubs comes. Two clubs on the flop and I hit Trips. I bet 100 and Mario pushes me all in for 300. Looking at A-A-A, I of course call. The turn comes and it's a Heart. No help to Mario. River comes and Mario hits his runner-runner Flush. I played it perfectly; looking at trip Aces on the flop, but he caught and killed me. He had nothing until the River.

Oh and I bought this "Aaaahh!" game on Steam today.

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on November 21, 2009, 06:20:24 am
What the hell is wrong with me? I forgot what this thread was all about.

Right, here I go.

Last Thursday, I went to school for afternoon lessons. I live in Singapore, so we've just entered the monsoon season; that translates into lots of heavy rain, very cool weather, things like that.

I live on the east end of Singapore, and my school's on the west end of Singapore, so my trip took an hour and a half. On the east side, the weather was perfectly normal; not too hot or sunny, but no rain either. When the train I was in left the central part of Singapore and headed for the west end, I noticed the sky turning very dark. By the time the train reached my stop, it was raining very hard, much like a running tap.

From the train station, I had to take a bus from the nearby bus-stop to the school itself. At the bus-stop, I have a choice of three bus services to take: 52, 154 and 184. Leave 52 out, because it played no part in this.

Right, so it's down to 154 and 184, and a bus running under service 154 came first. However, I decided to give 154 a miss to wait for 184 (a personal preference). 154 was just about to pull out when 184 came in.

These two services run along similar routes around my school, and they both stop at the same bus-stop after the train station. Given that 154 came and left before 184, you'd think that it should have cleared the first bus-stop after the station, right? It didn't. When 184 reached that bus-stop, I noticed that 154 had stalled at the bus-stop. It just wouldn't move.

The road to my school was filled with huge puddles of water in several places. At one point, a car drove by so fast that made a spectacular gush of water that would have drenched me if I wasn't in an air-conditioned bus. Nevertheless, it was still quite a shock.

Right outside my school, there was a huge jam. When 184 drove by, I saw that the canal running alongside the road had overflown, creating an obscenely large puddle that covered a third of the three-lane road.

When I arrived at my school, it had only rained for about 20 minutes, yet the roads inside the school had already been mostly turned into shallow rivers of water. To get to my classroom, I had to cross three roads. The first road has a zebra crossing, as well as an underpass built to facilitate bad weather. But the underpass was never built to handle this kind of bad weather.

As I walked down the covered walkway towards the underpass entrance and nearby zebra crossing, I saw two guys watching the people who were braving the weather and using the zebra crossing. They started laughing like hyenas at a girl who had lost her slipper to the road-turned-river, and chased after it to the nearest T-junction despite also running the risk of getting all her school materials and whatnot splattered should she lose her footing.

I decided to use the underpass, which was flooded up to the lower calves. Suffice to say that I got my feet and the lower part of my pants wet, for although I was wearing shoes, they weren't waterproof.

I emerged at the other end of the underpass with very wet feet. As I walked past one of the buildings in the school, I saw that it was flooded, and everyone was keeping their distance.

The next road I had to cross has no underpass to it, only a standard road crossing, so I got my feet wet again as I crossed it. Once I got to the other side, I took out my shoes and dumped out about half a cup of water before moving on.

The rest of my trip to the classroom was pretty uneventful. When I got to the classroom, I took off my shoes and socks to let them dry a little. I spent the next four hours barefooted. When class ended, my socks and shoes were still wet, and I went home with wet feet once again.

If it looks like the same case tomorrow i strongly urge you to take a secondary and tertiary pair of socks, one to change into at school, and one to ch8ck on after the trip back to the station, and another pair of shoes. A towel is a must also.  Any chance of the school giving you a weather warning, or checking the tv beforehand? If it saves you the hassle i mean.


Cold wet feet are uncomfortable as hell, and it can cause gout, athletes foot.. It can lead to a loss of circulation as well.

A dude came into my McDonalds yesterday with no right eye (no glass eye or patch over it or anything). I wouldn't have said anything, but he was also wearing biking shorts and had blood all over his face including one nasty looking wound on his chin. Again, no bandages or anything, just drying blood.

He seemed totally oblivious and just ordered a burrito and left.

What. The ****.

The only thing I came up with was that he got in some kind of accident and was either so in shock that he decided he needed a burrito and I should have called 911 for him, or he already had no eye and all the blood was from the cut on his chin (I didn't see any other notable wounds on his face) and the cut wasn't as bad as it looked.

each has sepcial stuff,
-one is my prom date from last spring, shot me down, but we both are at same university, she totally shot me down last spring, but now, since i've came of age, we've become rather good friends, and i feel some signals fro herm....
-other has the same rather bad Tuesday schedule as me, and we ahve had a good bit of fun recently, but, during this weekend, we haven't done anything...
-other is my dorm neighbor, felt something during soem welcome week party, her birthday was yesterday , i went out with neighboer girls tosuprise b-day party,(21st), doesn't really appear to be interested, though... given i texted her to ask if she wanted to meet upm in common room, no reply.. :doubt:
I'm leaning toward "tuesday" ATM, and think i'll make the move this tuesday, otherwise i'll go back to girl from hometyown... the problem is thta i feel like i'm betraying the others if i chose one,, or at least that's been the excuse i've been using as of late to not truely ask any of thes fine young ladies out....
and if you can't already tell from this post's grammar (firefox helps spelling!), I've had a moderate amount to drink.
ALSO, FOR THE RECORD: Each are of similiar physical attractiveness, so don't tell me to be shallow and use thta to decide..

For my part though, the game seems weirdly derivative, half NWN, half KotoR, and I keep seeing Lulu when I look at Morrigan for some reason. It's not bad, that way, it's just weird.

Personally, the fun part of paintball is the extreme sense of safety you get compared to real combat.

Well yeah, the best part of paintball is tanking it towards the enemy, only to get gunned down by their entire team :D. The bruises are pretty cool.

But for great memories I have to say CCF is better, the teamwork, the adrenaline and the true exhaustion at the end of it all. :D

Oh and Dekker, are you not gonna make it to HLP London. :(

Been playing Civ4:BTS. It's a Pangaea map... early in the game, I erradicated my closest neighbor, France. I ended up on the land-ward side of a peninsula, France on the sea-ward side. After destroying them I rebuilt my forces and started eying a near-by peninsula. Around now I attached the Great General Jean D'Arc to a Scout to serve as a mobile hospital. Germany had major stake and Mali had a minor stake. In addition to that, I was looking at some of Germany's territory that would cut me off from that peninsula. I decided to take it all; I marched up and took 3 German cities on the main land, before heading east to take three more. That left 2 German and 1 Mali city on the peninsula (dominating most of the coast), but I wrote up a quick peace treaty while rebuilding my military. A bit later I had my military there and invaded those remaining three cities, strengthening my more exposed cities after the resistance died down. From there, I declared peace again and Germany becomes Mali's vassal. I proceed to build up again and refocus my forces on my neighbor, the Holy Roman Empire. After he gets into a few minor wars that later escalate, I see my chance and declare war. I take 2 of his cities but leave a pretty big hole, and declare peace a few turns later. Rebuilding my forces yet again, Holy Rome becomes China's vassal. I later declared another war and took some more territory, but that'd be most of it for quite a while. Something interesting happened around the AD1700's; I was inducted into the Hindu Apostolic Palace and the first vote was to declare war on Mali (and vassal Germany). I was building up a strike force at that point; Mali had some tasty coastal cities that I wanted. One was a holy city, another their capital, and third just very populated. The vote goes through and war is declared; I hurry my navy to Mali to prepare for the invasion. First I take the holy city (Jewish & Christian), then the Capital (with oodles of Wonders), and finish it off with that populated city. I'm very happy with that war and mini-invasion; I crippled the Mali economy and research machine. While they still have great tracts of land and a lot of commerce (as well as production), they lost a source of >100 gold per turn and quite a few citizens.

My next move is a more proper invasion force; I want to permanently cripple Mali before I start to focus on the other super-power. It's kind of odd; there are three super-powers and a bunch of vassals now. Justian I and Hannibal make up the first and most prominent with 3 vassals, I make up the second with a single vassal, and Mansa Musa makes up the now-weakened third with a single vassal. I've got the second highest commerce (1st is Hann/Just), highest production, most soldiers, and most land. Pretty darn good for fighting wars the majority of the time! I'm just happy that my civ's not been bankrupt at any time; I've always been able to run 50% or higher Research.

I note the (temporary?) return of Jeff Vader.

Also, I walked home from the train station again. This time, I did it at night while wearing a jacket and a bag with my 2.3 kg MacBook in it. I'm feeling a little crazy now.

Which train station though??

Also I have just found out that I have to work for the next two Sundays, both after big parties on the Saturday. :(

Ever heard of Avernum?

Based off the old Exile series of RPGs, (at least the first three installments... I've never bothered with the newer ones...) these old-school games look pretty good, play well, and have a good story to tell. And they will take eons to complete. Heck, even the demos are epic:

Personally, I'm devising a way to complete my programming final. The idea is to write a program which will spit out a random piece of terrain of user-specified dimensions in the simple X-Plane 700-type object format. This will be epic if it works...  :D

Leaky boots? I suggest a polish layering regime.
Bulling to a mirrored finish is not necessary, but progressive layering will form a seal. This will keep your feet bone dry if done well.
 
Pm me for tips and tricks.
 
Speaking of boots i'm breaking in two pairs of leather assault boots and their harder than a woodpeckers lips and are causing extreme shin agony. But they'll be slipper soft in a fortnight. 
 
 
EDIT- Nuke, buy these.

I don't know if anyone else here watches Dollhouse, but Topher talking to VicTopher was hilarious, and I felt I needed to share.

I don't watch it regularly but I did catch that and also found it hilarious.   Though I think the best thing I saw was the episode when Alan Tudyk flicked the switch between obfuscating stupidity and sociopath.

Spent five hours at my unit this AM (0800-1300) working out a kit exchange. Picked up four dry cleaned suits while waiting for paperwork to be generated. Got into work and it was literally falling apart without me. Slack ass-hats are slack.
 
Currently on train home so I can spend two hours ironing said kit, then i'm up at six for a two mile run.  I estimate around seventeen minutes. Then off to work at seven to arrive and start for half eight.
 
I'm a busy beaver.
 
Edit- what custom title ;)?

its my very favourite game, but a pair of chartered accountants whos total previous experiences in gaming since the 80s is mario cart and the wii (mom) , and a little XvT, CoD single player (dad), is quite amusing, in fact when my mom of all people engages me on a discussion about it when she came down to visit earlier today after my exam (pwned!) and is actually not talking like a total n00b, grasping concepts of cover and flanking, i can't not chuckle.

My Dad loves games like Doom and Halo, anything where he can just fire en-masse into a crowd of things really, problem is, his old computer was so slow, he only got 8-10 fps on Halo, but he's got a new computer now, so I'm just working on getting him to buy Saints Row 2, the idea of a 66-year old man running around in SR2, firing artillery into the crowds and alughing maniacally is just too tempting ;)

By the way, Sri Lankan road rules, for your benefit:

- The horn must be used at every available opportunity.
- Overtaking is compulsory,
- Traffic Lights are actually there for aesthetics, they are not to be followed.
- Lane discipline is optional.

I think this (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage) might change that.

Anyway, 3rd place (w/trophy :D) at Scholars' Bowl tournament.  Personal score this time:  380.  That puts me at 1490 in four tournaments.  School record is something like 3600 in 13.

Forgot my calculus take-home test at school.  ****ed.

Scratchbuilding an MG42 styled heavy bolter to equip a heavy weapon team for my Fallschirmjager themed Imp Guard (or at least the squad I've managed to recycle from old bits).  Hopefully when all is said and done I'll end up with something like this (only with Cadian basedmodels):

I'm fairly stoked with how its come along so far since the only other thing I've been using styrene sheets was for making my Blood Ravens taller.

I bought a Linksys Wireless Adapter and installed it in my bedroom PC with no problems. And then I went to tweak services.msc and msconfig and promptly managed to murder the functionality of the Linksys Wireless Manager, so I re-installed the whole thing, then uninstalled the Linksys Wireless Manager after learning that re-installation didn't make it work. I was prompted to restart my computer, so I did so. When my PC finished restarting, I realised that Windows defaulted to its own wireless network manager and connected to the Internet through my adapter using it.

I am now checking for updates using Automatic Updates. It's taking forever...

Finished up the MG42 heavy bolter and whipped up a pair of Fallschirmjager style Cadians.  Aside from a few tweaks to the guy supporting the barrel its getting close to done.  Overall I'm pretty satisfied with result, its certainly 40K scale but at least the MG looks portable unlike the stock heavy bolter.

After getting a wireless adapter for my bedroom PC two days ago, I now realise that 248 MB RAM might not be sufficient enough memory for it to run smoothly. Increasing the pagefile does little to alleviate the problem, which leaves me with the choice of either buying more RAM or buying a new computer, and since it's too expensive for me to buy a new computer (and because there's nowhere in the house to put it), I might go out tomorrow to buy more RAM for it.

Pics! Pics! I'm almost done with my own model kit, too. Just need to prime/paint and finish up the melee weapon. Plus I'm looking for a Baneblade model here in Singapore.

My abs are ripped. Not in a good way, i'm not as healthy as I was before medical strife a while back. But it's just lack of practice. Warning down and stretching would have helped. All you guys need to know is I passed my fitness test for the year after doing sixty four push ups in two minutes, ninety sit ups in two minutes. (Why i'm hurting so much at the moment) and a mile and a half run in nine fifty. My time every time. That'll gradually get higher as years pile on but it's the same time I did when I was seventeen and I couldn't be happier ;)

I think I finally finished backing up our server for this month. 17 Dual layer DVD's.

And next I should go and buy a new vacuum cleaner to the office. The plaster powder is trying to over run us and our old cleaner is loosing it's strength.

nice upload.
and I learned our family car (yellow '01 ford escape, always kept in great condition) of 8 years has been written off, mom was in accident on way back from visiting me at university (thankfully no injuries).
worst part is that they don't make it in yellow anymore, and dammit, it was a very nice colour.
8 years, 1month, 1week less 1 day.

I'd always assumed it was some kind of North American accent. He may have also voiced a....somewhat convoluted (and probably some sort of spoofed) USAF training thing that I found on The Oops List. On hearing it I thought "Hey, don't I know that guy's voice from somewhere?"

Watched it last Thursday. It's not bad, but to say that it is good would be a bit of an overstatement. Visually, though, it's about as good as it gets.

I also watched it in 3D with my schoolmate and lecturers.

Today, I found an original copy of Wing Commander for the Super Nintendo, and a working Super Nintendo.  Three hours later, I'm a major with two bronze stars and a golden whatever (the ejection one).

Nostalgia cured after I had to listen to that music for hours on end. :ick:

Because I'm guessing you were never a console-tard.  I was, and I still have nearly every game I ever played down in my basement (including Silent Service, all three of the first Marios, the original Zelda, Duck Hunt, and a few others).

Would like to point out now that it isn't really a Wing Commander.  To the best of my knowledge, it's the first one line for line.

I'm now terribly depressed.

I passed electrical circuits (as in electrical engineering). However, let's just say the credit was non-transferable...  :sigh:

I really admire EE people. I really do. Their ability to deal with that BS is legendary. It also makes me feel incredibly dim. Of course, when you have a course taught by a senile old man (albeit a nice fellow), a POS textbook, and get home just in time to get to sleep after the class is over, that doesn't help either.

What I fail to understand is why I couldn't seem to adapt to that material. It's true I liked little to none of it, but that's a shoddy reason. Engineering is interdisciplinary, I know that well. Why I couldn't expand my disciplinary skill in that course is, again, beyond me. However, on the bright side, I precieve that not too many of the other students did that well either. If asked a secific question, we may not have been able to answer satisfactorily. Really, that also is not viable as why would I want them to do poorly?

The worst part of it is the prof. The man just seems to have it set in his mind that I souldn't be an engineer or something to that effect. That hurts me. Of course, if I had aspirations to join the madness known as electrical engineering, I might agree with him. As that's not the case, however...

I've never been drunk. In a way, I almost wouldn't mind giving it a spin right about now. That, however, will also not happen...

Not the right reason to be drunk.  If you're going to do it... make sure you have lots of friends around and its a celebratory occasion rather than anything else.  Alcohol is a depressant ... not good to have when you're already feeling blue.

I'm in complete agreement. I'm kind of over it now, but I'm still not happy. At least I'm back to the state of mind where I'll be happy to never be drunk.  :yes:

I managed to become very frustrated with people on the #gamedev channel (on the afternet IRC network)... because all they can think of to say when I tell them I'm using the fixed function pipeline in OpenGL is "use DirectX", "use shaders", or "get a new computer". This, despite the fact that what I came asking for info on is something perfectly doable with the fixed function pipeline.

i finaly got my robot to log the sonar sweep to file. really the hard part was the control code to make the servo motors go to an exact orientation as quickly as possible without osculating too much, basic control theory. the rest was making the graphs look pretty. while it draws the graph on the screen as x,y vectors, its really just a linear mapping of polar coordinates, since the ultrasonic sensor rotates on the turret, the motor orientation being the angle, and the detected range being the length. the lack of trig functions and floating point numbers on the nxt is really pissing me off.  tomorrow il write (and i use the term loosely, since its flowchart programming) some code to sort through the data. best bet will be to look for long range reflections repeated over consecutive angles, then pick the widest sweetspot, turn the bot that way and fire up the slow nxt motors so the robot can get there, eventually. should order that motor multiplexer so i can use those old skool motors that came with the first mindstorms set. they haul ass with no gear trains. if i want some real go, i could also use one of my lego pneumatic engines and rig up some kinda automatic transmission.

Without going off topic in the whatever happens in your life thread.... Firefox, when compared to IE6, is like a tasty triple chocolate cake layered in chocolate and caramel compared to utter crap.  Now it's more of a reflex motion.  IE8 finally... sort of... kinda supports web standards (sometimes) so I don't hate it as much when developing for the web and Microsoft seriously patches it now too so it's less of a security liability for all of the people I have to support in my current job.

Opera, Chrome, even Safari are good alternatives now... tried them all... but Firefox still tries to be the most simple and effective and it works until you load it up with plug-ins.

I think that was actually the second one.  The first one I fought was in the Redcliffe Castle courtyard, but that one was pretty easy.

This one was in the Mages' Tower, the one that springs up from the desecrated statue.  He had an orange name and a rather large and bold life bar, so I think he was a boss.  I haven't even really finished Redcliffe (went to the mages so I can save the kid), so I was only at about level 8, without Morrigan to rain fire and ice on it.  My character ended up taking it out head-to-head on account of the fact that he's a two-hand spec tank with a half dozen different kinds of damage to dish out per hit.  I think he's up to normal, fire, lightning, nature, and frost damage, all with each hit.

Then I experienced much the same repeated failure against the Sloth Demon.

ANYWAY.  Getting chinese take-out for dinner, taking a break from Dragon Age for at least a few hours.

If in your whole life you read only book specifically about Midway, or perhaps even the Pacific War in general, it should be be Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway.

I am utterly and completely serious. The First Team was good, sure, and stuff like Fire In The Sky, the USN official history, and are erudite and offer their own good points, but this is basically the only English-langauge book to study the Japanese sources well enough to be authorative on not only how Kido Butai died, but also how it lived. And in how it lived, you understand much, much more clearly not only how but also why it died.

(And Jesus, the Japanese came within a single bad decision of a total defeat; everything lost, sunk no carriers in return. People blame Tone for screwing up its search plane launch, but if Tone's plane hadn't screwed up the whole thing would have been a wipe!)

My first monicker was LOA--JK47. Tell a lie, it was actually JK47 but it appears to have vanished. :(
 
Still. . . . .good times. I'd never have guessed i'd end up a mod here to be honest, back in the days I existed solely on Volition Watch, LEGIONOFAPOCALYPSE.COM,  :v: PXO and Squadwar. Hard light was a place to download the five or so new ships that existed at the time for me.
 
 
Then Squadwar died and clansites started to fall, then the great exodus to HLP. . . . . And here we are.

It's really not that bad. I play flight sims, so I'm used to complex control schemes. The worst part is I tend to remember the controls for many, many flight sims...  :drevil:

Good memory, that's all.  :p

Someone says flight sims suck. No way, man.

Flight Sims can be kinda boring once you keep turning and turning especially when you're opponent is a Dragon but for me it just adds to the excitement  :D

I'm playing Red Baron 3D (an old game, but there are several mods that make it catch up with the modern games) and I actually got more than 100 kills :D I'm the greatest WWI ace after all!

What I encourage you to do is find a hard-core sim from the 90's...

...Complex, but not too complex. A bridge between the simple arcadey-stuff and the crazy-realistic stuff you can find today.

And for this purpose, look up "A-10 Attack!" or "A-10 Cuba!" I believe the only one they made for Windows was Cuba!, but it's still the coolest old sim you've ever seen... You can have parts blown off your plane and still fly, the weapon system is done very well, and it had one of the first interactive cockpits to my knowledge... It's abandonware, so just google it. You'll find it somewhere.  :nod:

there were rules? i was unaware of those.
but pretty much youve learned the most important lesson of them all, humans suck. everything that is wrong with the world can entirely be blamed on humans people really do suck. and thats why i devoted my life to destroying their society.

as for me, i spent most of my time since hellmas programming my nxt. and by programming i mean swearing at lego's ****ty flowchart programming software that crashes every 15 seconds. there are other ways to program it yes, but most of them require flashing the thing and many make you loose certain capabilities, like remote control over bluetooth. i havent been able to get nxc to work at all, which supposedly works without new firmware (i used its predecessor nqc on the rcx before with much success). theres pb lua which looks awesome, but requires a flash.

but today i decided to take a break to clean up my room and install linux on one of my junk laptops. i also ate pizza.

nuke goes back a long way as far as my usual screen name goes, i really only use nuke on freespace related sites. more recently i use variations of lord nothing, lord of nihil, emperor of nihil, ect. since the whole issue of unique identifiers is enough to make sure nobody has a unique name. after about a year your name will have been seen and copied several times, so i picked something that can be altered easily while conveying the same meaning.

Haggle. Gym memberships are like phone contracts. If you say someone's offered you a cheaper deal verbally they might try to match it.

You should work different groups on alternate days. This'll give you twice as much training as you can work one group while the other's resting. . . Can't stress the importance of stretching either.

Did I mention take a rest day? Ask at the Gym for advice if this persists. They're in a better position to give it than anyone else including me. It's normal when you're starting out though.

There was a song by "The Verve," I believe, that described the unfortunate discourses of normal life.

What was the line? "You're a slave to money and then you die."

This seems to be true for most people, but for an awkward idealist such as myself, the objetive is to find a means of breaking out of or smashing that said cycle or cycles. Perhaps we should start a secret society?  :drevil:

Nah my post wasn't emo, if it looked that way. I'm quite content with my life going nowhere. It's not like any differences I make to the world will be relevant in a few years. I'd be happy to be a dustman if it pays for the internet and rent.

You're only a slave if you let it control you.
 
Just bear in mind, work's only a means to an end. I always live by the mantra, "you work to live, don't live to work" it's not done me badly so far. Make all your spare time count. Other generic motivational lines. . .

I swapped processors in my desktop from a Pentium E2140 Allendale (previously overclocked from 1.6GHz to 3.2GHz) to a new Pentium E6300 Wolfdale (now overclocked from 2.8GHz to 4.0GHz). The new chip is a good bit faster and should run more efficiently at 4GHz than the Allendale did at 3.2GHz. Besides that, my motherboard's actually not compatible with this particular Wolfdale, but I'm lucky of course that it supports older Wolfdales (some E8000's, E7000's, and E5000's). It runs; I'm missing various options (Virtualization, SpeedStep, proper temperature readings) but it still runs, even now that I am running it at FSB400.

I'm thinking of picking up a Radeon HD 5770. Some games are moody since I only have a HD3850-256 in this PC. Other option/thought is a HD 5750.

No, seriously ;) Personally, I think I'd like to put employment demands off for a while and develop myself personally, maybe even more so educationally (if I was sure that I had enough financial support to do the latter). Probably not going to happen though.

In other news - I'm trying out a HDMI cable on the new LG LCD television. Still not sure what to make of the picture quality but so far I don't think it's superior to our old TV. It's just....not as crisp, or something.

my eyeballs hurt. i was playing with newtonian physics, in the nebula (with an ambient atmosphere and drag forces). i was flying a perseus which could do about 500 in the atmosphere flying against a wing of serapis fighters which could do 300. most of the time all you could see were its engines and every once in awhile you could get close enough to get a lead indicator for a second or two and fire off a few flak rounds (really flak is the only way you stand a chance of hitting anything). you had about a split second to point your ship in the general direction of theirs and fire off a barrage and maybe youd score a hit. i managed to kill 6 fighters, while the ai was completely confused and couldnt kill anything. now it feels like sombody hammered an icepick into both my eyes.

i put in another eye torture session. this time i set the air density to 2 kg/m^3 (which is probably a little dense for a nebula, really how dense is nebular atmosphere?) and set the scan range to 10 km in fred. it was still fast paced (i could get up to 500 m/s before drag force exceed thrust) but i was able to track targets better and actually get a bead on the target. it occured to me that the lead indicator was useless because it didnt take into account that the shots would decelerate in flight, yet another thing to write lua for. its also becoming clear that i need to change the way fred sets the environment. currently you give it the name of a planet profile and the name of an object to apply them too and an ambient density. you can give it two nils and a density if you want to do a nebula mission with atmosphere but no gravity, you can also use a planet profile in a nebula, and atmospheric density will only drop till it reaches the ambient value. or if you dont call the se() function (se is short for set_env, because fred only gives you 32 chars to do the script eval with) you get newtonian physics. im also not sure how to handle lift in the nebula, technically speaking a wing will produce lift even if theres no gravity, which can really **** up your flying in the nebula. id just assume that the wings assume a neutral airfoil shape when in the gas.

gravity works well for everything, though i want to add support for more than one gravity sources (large asteroids, comets, juggernauts, small moons). gravity can be either planar or spherical. while the planar type gravity is for objects that are too large to fit into the box that is an fs mission, spherical gravity can be used on objects that can. and it would be cool if we could have more than one. the idea would be to model sections of asteroid fields where all the large rocks have gravity and other objects orbiting them and all kinds of cool stuff. problem is that right now all gravity objects are assumed to be fixed. i need to change some code around to allow gravity objects to move.

not sure if i want multiple atmospheres though, usually atmosphere is only used with planar terrain models and nebulae (planets use complicated barometric modeling, while nebulae use a fixed density value), but i would like to use it with smaller objects like comets so you would have localized atmosphere on a small moving object.

drag works well for ships (weapons not so well, since they usually decelerate too fast in atmo), lift works for ships (some missiles may get "wings"), thrust works for everything. collisions tend to screw up, also homing missiles crash the game. i think all the crashing bugs most likely come into play when lua's 8 byte floats are converted to freespace's 4 byte floats, so while lua shows a perfectly valid number in all the debug info, freespace freaks out because its out of range (too big or too small to be represented by a 32 bit float). fixing these problems would require better physics scripting options such as the ability to override default game physics, and probably a better physics hook that runs for every object in the game, where the game gives me info about an object. such as: handle to it, its "breed", what the ai/player is doing with the controls, a list of collisions, with info on what collided, how fast the collision took place, where it happened and in what direction, then i can plug all that info into some formula, then output the ships new velocity, angular velocity (position should be handled by the game even with an override, so should collision detection, though i should still get to decide how that collision affects the object).

Something to remember; a nebula is a star's material blown out into a sphere hundreds of thousands of miles across. While it could be cool to fly in some sort of dense soup, that's not how it really happens. So long as you're not near a dense section of the nebula, you will be surrounded mostly by very hot but also very sparse gas.

i put in another eye torture session. this time i set the air density to 2 kg/m^3 (which is probably a little dense for a nebula, really how dense is nebular atmosphere?) and set the scan range to 10 km in fred. it was still fast paced (i could get up to 500 m/s before drag force exceed thrust) but i was able to track targets better and actually get a bead on the target. it occured to me that the lead indicator was useless because it didnt take into account that the shots would decelerate in flight, yet another thing to write lua for. its also becoming clear that i need to change the way fred sets the environment. currently you give it the name of a planet profile and the name of an object to apply them too and an ambient density. you can give it two nils and a density if you want to do a nebula mission with atmosphere but no gravity, you can also use a planet profile in a nebula, and atmospheric density will only drop till it reaches the ambient value. or if you dont call the se() function (se is short for set_env, because fred only gives you 32 chars to do the script eval with) you get newtonian physics. im also not sure how to handle lift in the nebula, technically speaking a wing will produce lift even if theres no gravity, which can really **** up your flying in the nebula. id just assume that the wings assume a neutral airfoil shape when in the gas.
In a nebula? You're probably looking at a density below 1g/m^3.

i really couldnt find a solid answer on the subject (which turned out to be more complicated than i was looking for). im sure a planetary nebula would have low densities and higher tempurature. when your talking about HII/III regions and stellar nurseries, things can get pretty dense. i got something between 100 and 10000 particles per cubic centimeter, with particles being 80% h2 and about 19% helium and 1% everything else (i never really took much chemistry but i assume its just a matter of adding up the mass of atoms), but i haven't got to looking up the math to convert that to the kg/cubic meter that my script is currently using for its density variable. of course im sure the script is full of conversion errors. when i was implementing the system i was thinking in terms of planetary atmosphere, which could parse a standard atmospheric model for earth, mars, whatever. drag forces in the nebula were kind of an afterthought.

The particles in question are really really really small.

With the numbers you gave it’s about 4*10-16 to 4*10-14 grams per cubic meter, or about 0.4 to 40 micrograms per cubic kilometer, if I’ve got the unit conversions right.

i think were talking about 0.0000000000000000266827107 kg/cubic meter, if i (and by i i mean google) did my math right. i dont even think that number will fit into the script eval call in fred.

i get to try and kill my friends using dice.  except my goal isnt to actually kill them, but to challenge them so they have fun and arent bored.

much harder than it seems, especially considering that their tank (when I'm not playing) is a giant whiny baby and gets really mad when i kill him.
when I'm playing, the tank is a badass mother****er who will cut you 3 new assholes with 3 different weapons.

rap today reminds me of "heavy metal" in the 80s (not that i consider that crap real metal). in that it was over marketed, over hyped, and excessively parroted. its gotten to the point where very little of the genre is original. you can probably say the same about modern mainstream metal (not that i consider that crap real metal) or any other genre of music, such as mainstream country (not that i consider that crap real country). of course i dont always listen to metal, sometimes i listen to bands fronted by serial killers from the 60s, or dirty country songs from the 70s. i did go through a short rap phase bout a decade ago, but i quickly got sick of the constant pop culture references and street lingo. then i discovered black metal, and found my genre.

as for my mother, i thought it cruel to use one of my dirty socks in such a way, and opted for about a dozen zipties and 2 really heavy heatsinks.

Then I got my train after deciding, sod it give them less excuse to have a go and pride for my attendance record of course.
 
Except my train stopped dead at nunhead station. Guess what the driver said.
 
Does anyone know the way to Victoria station? Could any southeastern driver please make his way to the front of the train.

Yeah, I'm not really one for mainstream rap except when I find myself in a car with a large stereo. East Coast, Aussie, and Aussie Underground rap's more my style. Though obtaining the latter is.. Very inconvenient.  ;)

Lots of stuff on Monday, most of it is crap. Going to eat some food smothered in melted cheese, sit infront of the computer and FRED most likely. Then i have some RL stuff to attend to, and then I'll likely eat more food smothered in melted cheese. All in all, it's looking to be a good morning, crappy afternoon.

i still havent desided which design path to take with my physics script. the problem is angular physics in the atmosphere, simulating control surfaces, drag induced torque and the pitching moment as a result of lift. there are essentially 2 paths to follow at this point. keep it simple or make it really complicated. keeping it simple involves simply setting a center of drag, the relationship between the center of drag and the center of mass relative to the airflow vector determines how much of the force is pulling on the entire mass, and how much is inducing a torque (and in which direction). simple is not entirely so however. freespace's existing physics works with euler angles, and not matrices. of course to integrate forces about arbitrary axes requires either a matrix or a quaternion which would need to be converted back into eulers to be summed up. making it really complicated on the other hand would yeild a more realistic simulation but would require more code, more data structures, more mod time for anyone implementing the system. the idea is to simulate multiple aerodynamic sections per model, which could produce lift and drag forces which would be summed up, converted to acceleration and applied to the object's momentum. its enough to make ones head explode.

I saw a old game that I liked in the DOSBox tutorial in the computer magazine I buy: Stargunner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargunner). I found out that it was free to download now, so I did and gave it a go.

It's rather difficult (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NintendoHard).

Stormkeeper, that happened to me, I babysat a few girls when they were about twelve and now they're nineteen.
 
One tried chatting me up in a pub last year and it curdled my milk so to say. She was hot but it felt wrong.
 Needless to say I let her down gently by snogging her older mate.

So is mine. I guess that's what happens when you don't get even an hour of real sleep for 4 days in a row. In other news, THIS WEEK SUCKS ASS! First, my entire dorm hall has a tiny problem with a certain sort of small fat brown rodents. They tunneled out around the kickboard heating elements. I spotted the first one about 4 days ago when I was playing L4D2 and me being a paranoid insomniac. So the last few nights have been crap; I know for a fact that there are rats running around and they decide that they like my room at night. That being said, you KNOW you have a rat problem when you hiss, everything goes quiet, and then starts moving about thirty seconds later. Especially when you preform the same experiment and the same results occur. Either that or I'm just really unlucky. Either way, I've had a crappy week.

Good grief, Bob-san! Where do you attend university? That's terrible!

The worst thing my comrades and I ever found in a residence hall was a scorpion... Given that it was a small one (and imaginably quite toxic) and was thus probably easily able to get indoors... as well as the fact that I was attending school in Arizona at the time, it's permissable. But rats wandering about you room? That's just shoddy...

The story of my last term in Miami. I was in a "lake"-front dorm on the lowest level looking out towards the lake. Since one of my roommates was addicted to smoking, the screen dore was more often than not open. And in Miami, that means that roaches can & will crawl into your dorm if for no other reason than to terrify you.

And yes its terrible. One more reason to convince dear old to let me get a ****ing apartment.

apartments are no good because you never know id they're already infested till you take up residence and sign the lease. they will always show you a nice and pristine version of the slums that they rent. or you can just move to alaska. the only roaches you see around here is whats left when youre too wasted to finish your joint.

Then ill hunt around and find one that says any infestations found within the first month or something are the owners problem to deal with it to finality.

And I haven't been cut any breaks. Apparently drinking 1.5-2l of water daily isn't enough. Then again a quart of Starbucks café latte wasn't really planned in. I went to bed after a bloody nose and woke up with a bloody nose :o 8 hours later ( :) 7 hours of sleep!)

So a little rodent was caught on the mouse trap in my room. That just gives me warm fuzzy feelings! A small one, but still disgusting. I heard it because they sort of "cheep". Apparently this one got stuck and had the bright idea of rolling over to one side; it's not escaping.

We're watching Darker than Black right now.  We watch a couple episodes, then discuss, relating back to the bible.  The anime itself doesn't need to be bible-based, as long as it's relatable in some way shape or form.

using the words nuke and progress together in the same sentence just seems wrong. i really cant get anything done if there are other people around, and keeping the coke tanks full requires constant trips to the store. the total number of polygons ive created in the past 3 years couldnt even make a decent ship these days. and when i do feel like working, theres no guarantee that i just wont go upstairs and play with my legos, or my electronics projects, or decide to fill the cookie jar with freshly baked cookies.

right now im tired, but i still got to go to the post office in 3 hours and do some shopping. unless i decide to give up and just go shopping in the morning (and by morning i mean 6pm).

as for polygonal **** buddies, id rather have a robot with a full automatic vagina.

Wait. . . They allow laser surgery in the MOD now?? . . .
 
What's your prescription, I thought it wrecked night vision and peripheral vision too. I got warned off it in the charing cross office back in 99. . .  If the rules have changed i'm going to look into saving my pennies up for a bit of pew pew pew fixing.

Oh, '99, no wonder. :P It's a relatively recent thing. I'm not sure how it works over there with you guys, but since we copycat most of what you guys do, I doubt it's any different. They started allowing it over here around '04-ish, and they're always messing around with the damn rules since.

I'm -3.5, but wearing -3.75 at the moment because that was the only prescription they had close enough in fortnightly contacts. Ah, yes, from memory, your night vision does take a bit of a hit, but I don't know anything about Peripheral vision. Either way, I know of at least two pilots in the RAAF who got in with Laser Surgery. Pre-operative limit is -4 or -5 for aircrew, not sure about anything else. I'm not sure how it works up there, but you might even be able to get Gordy Brown to pay for it, if you're a member of the Defence Force (which I assume you are). :)

Upgraded the RAM without any hassles. As it turns out, the RAM slots on a motherboard installed in a Compaq SR1510AP are a lot easier to access than one installed in a Lenovo ThinkCentre 8294-KAB. Unfortunately, the motherboard in my Compaq is a cheap MSi that only has two 1 GB slots. Compare that to the motherboard on my IBM, which has four RAM slots, each capable of holding 2 GB RAM each (I don't need 8 GB RAM, though, and besides, Windows XP Home Edition cannot read more than 3.5 GB RAM).

I've decided that multi-core processors are not all they're cracked up to be.

Particularly when a CPU-intensive game doesn't see the second processor core! Meaning I've got one core almost idling while the game loses up to 20 FPS in parts and along with it any kind of challenge. Those tend to be the hardest parts too, which means I'm effectively playing with a handicap during the game's hardest segments! I mean, what's the point of trying to beat the game in that case? :sigh:

And yeah, it's the CPU, not the RAM. The RAM's barely at 50% when I'm playing, while one CPU core is maxed out.

This is a supreme annoyance. Time to upgrade the processor then... but they're expensive... :(

Depends on the socket. If you have an P/G965, you MAY be compatible with cheap Wolfdales. If you have P35 you SHOULD be compatible with cheap Wolfdales. If you have P45, you WILL be compatible with cheap Wolfdales. I've got an Abit IP35-E ($80 P35 board going on 2.5 years ago) and bought a brand new Pentium E6300 Wolfdale (2.8GHz; 266*10.5). Compared to my old E2140 @ 3.2GHz, I gained ~25%. There's very little faster in single-threaded and dual-threaded programs than a Wolfdale. A new i3/i5 dual-core may be, but you'd probably have to replace motherboard & RAM.


I played lots of Left 4 Dead 2. I love Scavange mode, doubly-so as Infected. I had a good team the last match and we kicked butt. We were a touch lucky that there were 3 of us at the end, when as a Smoker I grabbed and dragged one of two survivors and made them drop their gas can. I had the most damage for most of the rounds and we won all of the games.

I'm a bit rough and tired too to be honest. I was up at six working as normal. Finished at six. Rushed home, had a shower got changed. Got to my unit ten minutes before parade. Got my boots shiny. Volunteered to assist on a few things. Did some engineery stuff. Got nominated to to do some other stuff. Missed a salute oppertunity that an NCO spied and gave the troop a ten minute lesson on how to salute Officers. Swore in my head for ten minutes at the same time. 
Volunteered for a charity thing. Walking the length of Hadrians wall in three days. Coast to coast for the uninformed. .  Went to the bar and had three strongbows. Home for twenty five to one. Dinner, then sleep. Up at seven today.

NYS Regents exams. A few years bacl. I finished my Biology exam in, no lie, about 20-25 minutes. The entire class was finished by the 40-minute mark. We had to sit around and we basically all had an hour-long nap. Now on the other hand, in my Global History exam took me the hours because I was writing a LOT.

Slightly less than horribly depressed now, but not by much.  Still have no idea why, since I just spent most of the day at school with friends and whatnot.

That said, three tests in class today, one next Tuesday, and my other three classes don't have any.  I forgot my ******* Calculus take-home test AT HOME today, so I had five minutes to sprint to my house, find it, and sprint back to school in order for it to not be late.  Total time: 4:38.  Hell yes.  That aside, still kinda depressed.

Nope, well, I had some really bad cramps in both my feet in the last game for some reason, forcing me to half lie down in an awkward position, but there was a lot of running involved. Especially since I ran around to the other guys on my team and made sure they weren't sitting up the back of the field not shooting at anything.

That last bit is what I make sure people on my team don't do. Deciding on some kind of strategy beforehand or threatening to turn around and start shooting them too usually works. :P

And anyway, I usually banzai charge the first five seconds of most games, it motivates the people around you if you don't get shot while doing it.  :D

I did not counter threaten, but I wonder if she really thinks I'm ever going to stay there again (including breaks from school) if she does that, since the cat is really the only reason I have ever missed home. Sigh.

2. I also woke up with a sore throat. Really hope I'm not getting sick.

3. My facebook stalkerfeed is pretty much full of everyone I know going "yay, I got into UNC!" So I'm a little depressed that next year, I will continue to know *no one* on campus.

Post by: Woolie Wool on February 01, 2010, 10:54:21 pm
I was working with Nuke on fixing errors in a VF-1 Valkyrie model and had a thought--against giant aliens like the Zentraedi, the VF-1 Valkyrie would be inferior to a decent ground attack aircraft without any transformation ability. Zentraedi are large, bulky ground targets. Large, bulky ground targets do not fear anything more than they fear ground attack aircraft. The Zentraedi cannot really hide on Earth--they are far too large. And they are made of meat, so if they can make shoulder-fired weapons that can pierce their body armor, a squad of regular infantry with an anti-tank weapon could kill a dismounted Zentraedi.

So they ought to have just built an A-10 like ground attack plane, a heavy anti-armor infantry weapon, and a (non-variable) air superiority fighter to cover them. Each would do its job better than the Valkyrie, be less expensive, and exist in larger numbers.

Oh, there I go, applying logic to an anime series with giant robots and Chinese pop singers defeating alien civilizations again...:p

But if you really want to argue Rule of Cool, here's what I think: Swing-wing fighters are cooler than giant robots, and will always be cooler than giant robots.

And if the Zentraedi had any common sense they'd send in miclonized infantry as well as battlepods. You can't hold territory if you can't fit in the places you're supposed to be patrolling.

But you see, every time it turns into a giant robot, its coolness decreases. What would really be cool would be a flight of Valkyries swooping down on a Zentraedi force and decimating them with a Macross Missile Massacre before zooming away to find more targets.

I was working with Nuke on fixing errors in a VF-1 Valkyrie model and had a thought--against giant aliens like the Zentraedi, the VF-1 Valkyrie would be inferior to a decent ground attack aircraft without any transformation ability. Zentraedi are large, bulky ground targets. Large, bulky ground targets do not fear anything more than they fear ground attack aircraft. The Zentraedi cannot really hide on Earth--they are far too large. And they are made of meat, so if they can make shoulder-fired weapons that can pierce their body armor, a squad of regular infantry with an anti-tank weapon could kill a dismounted Zentraedi.

So they ought to have just built an A-10 like ground attack plane, a heavy anti-armor infantry weapon, and a (non-variable) air superiority fighter to cover them. Each would do its job better than the Valkyrie, be less expensive, and exist in larger numbers.

Oh, there I go, applying logic to an anime series with giant robots and Chinese pop singers defeating alien civilizations again...:p

But if you really want to argue Rule of Cool, here's what I think: Swing-wing fighters are cooler than giant robots, and will always be cooler than giant robots.

And if the Zentraedi had any common sense they'd send in miclonized infantry as well as battlepods. You can't hold territory if you can't fit in the places you're supposed to be patrolling.

QFT! QFT!

Can swing-wing fighters stop on a dime and strafe in any direction?  No?  Didn't think so. :p

Replace the jet engines with a different kind of engine, make the "intake" a forward-facing reverse thruster, add some RCS thrusters, and voila! In fact, my fighters in Wings can do this without turning into a giant robot. Throttle down, hit thrust left, yaw right, and circle strafe to your heart's content. Considering that the VF-1 is capable of operating in space it should be perfectly capable of this.

No, they're not, they're actually quite campy and boring. Battletech makes it slightly better because the better mechs there do not look remotely humanoid, but the Battroids are and can practically do kung fu moves (see the fight with Hikaru against Breetai). Stupid. The mecha became a lead weight dragging Macross down the moment it stopped being a parody and decided it could take itself seriously, but the planes were awesome.

These things are required to make an aircraft operate in space because control surfaces do not work in space. Considering that the VF-1 operates in space, it must be able to do these things. And it's still easier than a humongous mecha.

Your reasoning being that they should have less mobility?

They're not subject to biological restrictions and could easily have more freedom of movement than a human, and the control system has long been said to involve a direct neural component and not be purely based on the visible controls, which are for gross operation only.

That was also cited as the reason the first-generation VFs fought in an atmospheric style with banks and the like; it was how their pilots thought about combat, and while wasteful of power, it wasn't like they didn't have an excess of it to spare.

My reasoning is that they should focus on flying and strip out all the stupid servos, articulated bits, and other crap that adds weight and complexity and reduces performance. If you want an aircraft build an aircraft. If you want an armor unit build an armor unit. If you try for both you get a half-assed vehicle that isn't as good at either--see the M1938 Christie.

Also, humanoid designs fall afoul of the square cube law. The ground pressure is enormous, the legs are under horrendous strain, and the configuration is not suited to something of that size. That it works at all speaks of highly advanced technology that would work even better if it were put into a better design.

And the whole issue is even more irritating in that the VF-1 is absolutely beautiful as a plane.

And this reasoning has been answered by what the original VFs were designed to deal with; an orbit-to-surface invasion of Zentradi infantry. They needed the aircraft for the speed of reaction and to be a moving target, and they needed the B mode for a counterforce, and they needed the G mode for rough-field capablity and modicum of ability to field-rearm. For the threat, the design is very rational. They needed one platform that could respond rapidly to an invasion anywhere on Earth, fight Zentradi infantry at close quarters in urban environments, and operate out of minimal or non-existent facilities since an orbital threat could be expected to nullify all fixed airfields and military bases rapidly.

So they didn't just want an aircraft. They didn't just want an armor unit. They actually wanted, and needed, something that could do both, with added minimal-facilities operation. Ability to operate despite significant damage a plus. The VF-1 was that platform.

Once the Zentraedi have annihilated your military bases and airfields, it's already too late to try any significant resistance with mechanized forces. Variable fighters must be unbelievably complicated, full of unnecessary moving parts that will break (especially under combat conditions) and will eventually require the aircraft to be stripped down and overhauled. It is not a question of if they break down beyond the capabilities of simple field repairs, it is when. Things break, and the more complex they are, the harder they are to fix when they are seriously broken. VFs are absurdly complex. Every single moving part on it is a potential failure. Compared to working on a VF, working on a normal aircraft would be trivial.

Without established military bases and a decent logistical train, your only option is insurgent tactics with (human) infantry wielding small arms and simple devices like small rockets and mines. Essentially you'll be operating at the level of Palestinian or Iraqi militia. Variable fighters are completely useless to such a force; you cannot maintain such costly, complicated, and sophisticated machines. They eventually will get major failures that require overhaul, you will run out of spare parts, you will not have the ability to build more. If the UN government wanted to fight off an invasion of Zentraedi infantry after the sudden and nearly total loss of their military facilities, the obvious choice would be to build man-portable anti-armor weaponry and light artillery like mortars and rockets, and in vast quantities. A thousand men with futuristic AT4s will do far more good than a squadron of variable fighters, they'll be far more mobility and stealth than variable fighters or Zentraedi and be able to use cover that they cannot, and they will cost less and be more feasible to maintain in desperate circumstances.

The variable fighter is a disastrous idea for either conventional or asymmetric warfare. Normal planes and tanks are far more useful for a direct confrontation, and shoulder-fired infantry weapons capable of taking out Zentraedi foot soldiers or Regults are far more useful for a guerrilla campaign. Using overtechnology to built fold-capable, fast warships to get enough people for a self-sustaining diaspora somewhere else fast might be a decent option as well, but of course there is the risk of being tracked or slaughtered before the project is completed.

This assumption doesn't hold water at the scale we're talking about. On a small-country-scale, sure, yeah. But a whole planet? That's an impossibly huge area to secure in the sense you're talking about. Given that you would probably have some level of warning of approaching spacecraft, being able to disperse into the countryside is possible; or having pre-planned dispersal sites that are camoflagued ready and waiting. The main point here however is that you will need mobility, lots of it. Aircraft are ultimately tied to their runways, and runways are impossible to disguise. Tanks are significantly more concealable, but don't have a hope in hell of sidestepping an orbital bombardment, could not escape aerial pursuit, and their operational radius means an armored unit would quickly be discovered. Men on foot are even less mobile and run the risk that an invading force will simply bombard areas of heavy resistence; these are aliens after all, pyschological worst case must be assumed in lieu of any evidence. A VF-1 in G mode can land anywhere and assist with rearming itself and other VF-1s to boot, while its F mode gives it the mobility to escape aerial pursuit and also to strike anywhere, at any time, and cares not for the terrain it crosses, making locating their base by simple geographic time-and-distance studies much harder.

Also recall that the aircraft carriers which would later form the SDF-1's arms were submersible, which was how they were so easily adapted to space operations. That gives you three quarters of the surface of the planet to hide under and sophisicated repair and basing facilities. Zero gives considerable precedent with the submarine carrier that the Anti-UN forces used to launch their variable fighters.

It's also been established that this is not BattleTech or even early UC Gundam. No manportable weapon that was available at the same time as the VF-1 or for decades afterward is capable of taking out a Regult, or even inflicting significant damage on one in lieu of a definitive destruction. Even if it was a bad option, it was the only option.

Where is the proof that no such man-portable weapon existed (I admit that I have not watched Macross Plus or Macross 7 yet, but I've watched all of SDF Macross)? Considering that the VF-1, a fairly small aircraft with lots of space and mass wasted for transformation, could mount not one but many weapons capable of taking out a Regult, I see no reason why a shoulder-mounted missile could take one out.

The rough field deployment could be taken care of by making it a VTOL. The articulated engines alone would be sufficient. As for field rearming, it's not necessary. If you can make it back to base, you go back to base. If you can't, you're dead because you would have to get fuel from somewhere.

For securing Earth, it is entirely possible for the Zentraedi. If you haven't noticed, there are a lot of Zentraedi. They could secure the Earth just by deploying vast enough numbers to be everywhere at once. If you can't go more than a few kilometers in any direction without encountering the enemy, you have little chance of fighting a war beyond insurgent level.

If you want to go into "psychological worst case", the Zentraedi could just exterminate mankind outright, and almost did (although the fact that they had four million ships attacking for several minutes and failed to finish the job does not speak well of Zentraedi firepower). The only reason the Zentraedi were as "merciful" as they were was because they wanted to get their hands on a working Supervision Army ship. When it became clear that taking the SDF-1 without destroying it was not a realistic option they didn't really have a reason not to just wash their hands of the war and kill all humans (aside from cultural contamination, of course. The humans probably could have done a better job by incorporating Minmei and as many other musicians, artists, and other creative people into a full-blown psyops/propaganda office, but I digress). The best option in this case would be to gather up enough people to build a functional colony, flee into deep space towards a habitable world, and hope you don't get caught.

You really have three options: a stand-up conventional conflict where you can hope to drive off the enemy (probably not feasible, but it could weaken enemy forces enough to increase the chances of success for options B and/or C), an insurgent campaign where you make the cost of occupying Earth unreasonably high, or getting the hell off of Earth (since the option of breaking enemy morale through cultural sabotage that actually won the war in the series would not be apparent to strategists before the war for obvious reasons). Variable fighters are not the best choice for any of these options, and using more sensible units and strategies probably could have bought the UN more time and reduced the final death toll (option C might spare Earth conflict altogether unless the Zentraedi kill the people that didn't leave out of spite over the SDF-1 disappearing).

You do realize that some people actually like to think about the fiction they consume, especially if it takes itself seriously? The whole variable fighters things worked when Macross was a silly quasi-parody, but as it took itself more seriously the premise became increasingly unworkable. Warhammer 40,000 and super robot shows get a pass because they know they're ridiculous and they're honest about being ridiculous. Macross went from honestly ridiculous in the early episodes to deadly serious in the later ones and the whole thing started feeling increasingly schizophrenic as the series progressed.

...Because it doesn't work when it's serious business? Some things just don't work when you try to take them dead seriously. The best Macross episodes were the early ones when Hikaru was an idiot, every scene with Global began with him hitting his head on something, and Misa Hayase seemed to be on the verge of getting so worked up her head would explode all the time. Once they went into deep character development and epic sci-fi stories it broke down.

Much like the Star Wars prequels, come to think of it although Minmei was just slightly more bearable than "I hate sand".

If you want to make me take your dramatic story seriously it had better hold up to at least a cursory examination.

Considering that the VF-1, a fairly small aircraft with lots of space and mass wasted for transformation, could mount not one but many weapons capable of taking out a Regult, I see no reason why a shoulder-mounted missile could take one out.

A Regult is huge compared to even a VF-1, and a VF-1 is not a small aircraft at all; truthfully size is most comparable to an F-111, not an F-14. A VF-1 is roughly sixty feet tall in B mode. It's also built using new armoring technologies that allow it to briefly resist fire from vastly more advanced weapons like Zentradi particle beams. (You did notice they were firing blue stuff from guns way too big, right?)

A Regult has another fifteen to twenty feet on a VF-1 in height and similar width. Even its weakest points have similar armoring. It is also considerably faster-moving then a tank and displays more overall motion; hitting a moving Regult in the knee with a missile is not a simple feat, and probably not possible for most shoulder-fired missile designs.

The standard weapon of the VF-1 is its a three-barrel rapid-fire 55mm gatling cannon firing depleted-uranium antitank rounds at hypervelocity speeds. VF-1 missiles are far too large to be shoulder-launched weapons, each of them being roughly the size and dimensions of a 500lb bomb. We don't see Regults die of proximity detonation like standard antiaircraft missiles function. They have to be killed by direct hits from large weapons or relatively sustained bursts from rapidfiring antiarmor guns of large size. A single ATGM might be able to penetrate Regult armor, but this is doubtful considering it's never attempted in any of the Macross series. It is, however, very unlikely to be sufficent to kill a Regult, otherwise cannon and missiles of the size and functionality we see VF-1s use to combat Regults would be totally unnecessary.

It is rather important; consider the utility of simply being able to slap a new triple-ejector rack on and use the small waldos seen in the first few episodes to attach the explosive bolts vs. having to hoist it up and attach it with specialized equipment. Rearming missile stores can be accomplished in seconds, not minutes. Similarly, because of their great strength, a VF-1 is able to recover "injured" comrades from the field, we actually see that they have provision for recovering a complete cockpit section in the first few episodes, or whatever salvageable parts remain of fallen ones. It allows them to assist in major repair work as well. All the heavy lift equipment you can eliminate from the TO&E as unnecessary is to the good by making your dispersal sites smaller and easier to conceal.

If you can't go more than a few kilometers in any direction without encountering the enemy, you have little chance of fighting a war beyond insurgent level.

The people who designed the VF-1 did not know this, so the point is moot. They lacked faith in the relatively un-advanced ARMOR series to hold the line at high orbit or the SDF-1 to stand off a significant fleet alone, but they did not have any concept of the true size of the Zentradi fleets.

Quote from: Woolie Wool on February 03, 2010, 06:25:12 pm
If you want to go into "psychological worst case", the Zentraedi could just exterminate mankind outright, and almost did (although the fact that they had four million ships attacking for several minutes and failed to finish the job does not speak well of Zentraedi firepower). The only reason the Zentraedi were as "merciful" as they were was because they wanted to get their hands on a working Supervision Army ship. When it became clear that taking the SDF-1 without destroying it was not a realistic option they didn't really have a reason not to just wash their hands of the war and kill all humans (aside from cultural contamination, of course. The humans probably could have done a better job by incorporating Minmei and as many other musicians, artists, and other creative people into a full-blown psyops/propaganda office, but I digress). The best option in this case would be to gather up enough people to build a functional colony, flee into deep space towards a habitable world, and hope you don't get caught.

Yes, but then at that point, there's no reason to plan at all...and they have no way of knowing biosphere extinction is even on the table. They have some understanding of Zentradi protocol. They know the SDF-1 was designed to be capable of controlled atmospheric entry and exit. They know the Zentradi, the very few of them, who were aboard at the time of the crash were equipped to conduct land warfare. These offer the clue that this is a race prepared to conduct a conventional assault rather than simply sterilize planets from orbit. However by the same token they also know that the SDF-1 has weapons capable of destroying city-sized targets from orbit.

The logical conclusion is that they will conduct operations with the intent to capture rather than destroy, since destruction is an objective that gains nothing for the doer. But the option to destroy relatively discrete targets on a planetary scale is also known to be there, and it would be best not to provoke its use on major economic and population centers in the long term.

You really have three options: a stand-up conventional conflict where you can hope to drive off the enemy (probably not feasible, but it could weaken enemy forces enough to increase the chances of success for options B and/or C), an insurgent campaign where you make the cost of occupying Earth unreasonably high, or getting the hell off of Earth (since the option of breaking enemy morale through cultural sabotage that actually won the war in the series would not be apparent to strategists before the war for obvious reasons). Variable fighters are not the best choice for any of these options, and using more sensible units and strategies probably could have bought the UN more time and reduced the final death toll (option C might spare Earth conflict altogether unless the Zentraedi kill the people that didn't leave out of spite over the SDF-1 disappearing).

The only acceptable option from a long-term view is A. They were working on that; hence rebuilding the SDF-1. Hence the ARMOR series. The VF-1 could ultimately serve either Option A in a conventional role with its rough-field and rapid redeployment abilities serving purely as force multipliers and B mode as the counterforce it was anticipated to need, or it could serve Option B in which it is nearly an ideal machine, or even Option C (replacing a multitude of heavy equipment for repair and construction with one single platform that can also serve as a defensive unit if attacked).

A Regult is huge compared to even a VF-1, and a VF-1 is not a small aircraft at all; truthfully size is most comparable to an F-111, not an F-14. A VF-1 is roughly sixty feet tall in B mode. It's also built using new armoring technologies that allow it to briefly resist fire from vastly more advanced weapons like Zentradi particle beams. (You did notice they were firing blue stuff from guns way too big, right?)
I haven't scaled it myself, but I've read that it's closer to 14 meters long in F mode and 10 meters tall in B. An average Zentraedi is around 9.5 meters tall. Breetai and Golg Bodolza are much taller, like the Zentraedi equivalent of basketball players.

Quote
A Regult has another fifteen to twenty feet on a VF-1 in height and similar width. Even its weakest points have similar armoring. It is also considerably faster-moving then a tank and displays more overall motion; hitting a moving Regult in the knee with a missile is not a simple feat, and probably not possible for most shoulder-fired missile designs.

The standard weapon of the VF-1 is its a three-barrel rapid-fire 55mm gatling cannon firing depleted-uranium antitank rounds at hypervelocity speeds. VF-1 missiles are far too large to be shoulder-launched weapons, each of them being roughly the size and dimensions of a 500lb bomb. We don't see Regults die of proximity detonation like standard antiaircraft missiles function. They have to be killed by direct hits from large weapons or relatively sustained bursts from rapidfiring antiarmor guns of large size. A single ATGM might be able to penetrate Regult armor, but this is doubtful considering it's never attempted in any of the Macross series. It is, however, very unlikely to be sufficent to kill a Regult, otherwise cannon and missiles of the size and functionality we see VF-1s use to combat Regults would be totally unnecessary.
It is known that overtechnology includes advanced explosive weapons. Reaction weapons are of course too indiscriminate, but maybe there are other choices. Also, there's a difference between the damage needed for an actual kill and the amount needed for a mission kill (making the Regult combat-ineffective, and possibly forcing the much more vulnerable Zentraedi pilot to disembark from his machine, leaving him open to a lethal second strike). The question is how much. As for the mention of fighter missile size, see my previous point about Valkyrie scaling.

Quote
It is rather important; consider the utility of simply being able to slap a new triple-ejector rack on and use the small waldos seen in the first few episodes to attach the explosive bolts vs. having to hoist it up and attach it with specialized equipment. Rearming missile stores can be accomplished in seconds, not minutes. Similarly, because of their great strength, a VF-1 is able to recover "injured" comrades from the field, we actually see that they have provision for recovering a complete cockpit section in the first few episodes, or whatever salvageable parts remain of fallen ones. It allows them to assist in major repair work as well. All the heavy lift equipment you can eliminate from the TO&E as unnecessary is to the good by making your dispersal sites smaller and easier to conceal.
The modular missile racks are a good idea and I think they ought to be retained, but I think the performance cost of putting these features on the VF-1 itself would likely be too great to justify putting it on the aircraft itself. A stripped-down repair/refitting mecha-like vehicle could be used to quickly work on Valkyries on ships and facilities, and be much smaller, lighter, and less expensive than a VF-1. Also, I don't recall ever seeing a VF-1 completely dismantle and overhaul another VF-1, and aircraft often require very extensive and delicate maintenance work. I don't think it's a good idea to marginally decrease repair time and difficulty of VF-1s by substantially decreasing their performance and thus increasing their risk of being damaged in the first place.

Destruction would certainly gain something for the exterminator in some cases, especially in response to a guerilla insurgency that cannot be defeated through ordinary means. They cannot assume that the Zentraedi, if faced with an intractable resistance, would decide that if they could not have Earth, no one would, as human beings themselves have gone down this route in the past. In the face of an enemy that simply refuses to submit, conquerors can and have resorted to simply exterminating the enemy's people as a way to solve a costly and embarrassing problem.

(For some reason, I hadn't thought of surrender as an option, but faced with an enemy like the Zentraedi and with defeat via cultural assimilation not a forseeable circumstance, might have been attempted had the SDF-1's space fold not thrown it across the solar system and pulled the Zentraedi forces away from Earth to search for it)

Without knowing of the Zentraedi's cultural weakness, A is simply not going to succeed. The UN could not defeat the Zentraedi in open warfare, period, not with one planet one full overtechnology ship, and a handful of hybrid designs. The most they could do with A is to slow the Zentraedi buy time for another option. B would have no use for a design like the VF-1 because it is too complicated and too expensive. Guerilla insurgent weapons are simple, easy to produce, and cheap. VFs are extremely complicated, require a lot of resources to build, and expensive. Without an established industrial base you cannot manufacture new Valkyries or spare parts. You would be forced to cannibalize spares until your forces are reduced to nothing. Option B would preclude the use of any kind of combat aircraft on a significant scale. Option C would make the VF-1's transforming ability, and probably its atmospheric adaptations, redundant. You would want a powerful starfighter that will destroy enemy raiders before they get to your escaping vessels.  All the repair, rearm, and manufacturing equipment would be buried inside the motherships. And if you offer to hand over the Supervision Army spacecraft and sue for peace (probably the first choice that should have been on the table--if they say no you can still fight anyway) and they accept your surrender the whole idea of military resistance is moot.

There is nothing the VF can do that something else can't do better, and cheaper, and probably in larger numbers to boot.

What about land mines or IEDs? You can build a much bigger bomb if all you have to do is set it down and detonate it remotely. It's certainly more accessible to a struggling insurgent force with no remaining industrial base than a transforming airplane.

I don't see how it could possibly be unwarranted that a non-transforming fighter would have major performance advantages. Fewer moving parts (thus fewer parts that can fail), less mass devoted to articulation machinery and more mass that can be allocated to armor without making the machine unreasonably heavy, more internal space to allocate to armor and components, etc. These are extremely fundamental engineering principles that will not be invalidated by any new technologies, ever.

Point conceded, but good luck even attempting to conceal an aircraft manufacturing plant from orbital or aerial surveillance. A small base might not get caught, but you aren't going to hide something like that, and you have to build VF-1s somewhere if you want to replace losses.

Indiscriminate destruction and spite are not necessarily features of primitive barbarians. Simply put, if the Zentraedi invade Earth and encounter a quagmire, it is a big problem for them. It ties up resources they could use to fight other enemies, it exhausts the soldiers' patience, it looks bad for them and hurts morale, and it's generally an inconvenience. If securing Earth is difficult enough, why not just kill them all and end the pointless waste of lives and materiel? They gain nothing from Earth if the pesky miclones keep making a mess of everything they try to do with it. It's not like the Zentraedi have any concept of sentient rights or anything, and to expect them to would be the height of folly--to the pre-war UN they might, but it's best not to count on it. Advanced technology is not a package deal with "modern" scruples or concern for the lives of those outside the group. There's no reason to expect them to give a damn if all the miclones die.

A is absolutely not rational--it was impossible to achieve victory; the Zentraedi are completely superior to the UN Spacy in every meaningful way, and it was obvious from the beginning. There is a zero chance of the UN Spacy defeating the Zentraedi in all out war; it was not going to happen, and if the UN Spacy leaders had six brain cells between them, they knew it was not going to happen (what their original strategy was, we'll probably never know, because the SDF-1 derailed it in the first couple of episodes). They might be able to stall the Zentraedi for a while, but they sure as hell weren't going to beat them. The idea of being in a stronger position the next round is irrelevant, because there isn't going to be a next round in an all-out conflict because the UN will utterly crushed.

The only options that are not doomed to total failure are to wage a guerilla insurgent campaign to bloody the Zentraedi's noses and cause a quagmire (but this risks provoking annihilation), to surrender (if they accept it), or to flee and hope the Zentraedi don't follow them (ideally, the escape fleet should be launched before the Zentraedi show up, and the SDF-1 should leave with it to deny the Zentraedi their reason to be there at all, but this didn't happen).

High technology comes with a higher required base and additional secondary technologies; that's just a fact of life. To build technology A, you require technologies B and C, which require technologies D, E, F, and G, and so on. There is no reason to think this would change in the future when it is the rule for pretty much every new technology in human history.

Absurd. You don't need similar cultures to recognize industrial facilities when you see them; the machinery and facilities are the same whether you're American or Chinese or 30-foot-tall space aliens (although the latter's facilities might be larger). Also, you cannot compare VFs to the sort of crude weapons insurgents manufacture (and exactly the kind of weapons I described). You can build an IED out of some basic electronics (probably stolen or smuggled from another country, options not available to the UN), an ignition source (those have existed since the Stone Age), and fertilizer. A firearm can be constructed with a simple metal press; the Palestinian Jews, before Israeli independence, built thousands of Sten submachine guns on farms with little or no advanced tooling. Crude gunpowder can be made with a basic chemistry set and urine (yes, urine). The sort of facilities, techniques, and resources that go into even a modern aircraft, let alone a VF, are orders of magnitude greater and, accordingly, more difficult to conceal. The insurgents can easily build IEDs under our noses, but they don't build MiG-29s under our noses (or at all, for that matter). The IED is the classic insurgent weapon. It's crude, can be made without advanced technologies or techniques in covert sites, extremely cheap, and reasonably powerful. A variable fighter completely fails the first three of these criteria.

The UN Spacy did not have 10-15 years. The length of the war against the Zentraedi, were it not for the SDF-1 malfunctioning and throwing both the UN and the Zentraedi for a loop, would have been measured in weeks, not years. And furthermore, they already had not one but many other mecha designs that were far more capable on the ground than a VF-1. A Spartan or Monster makes the VF-1's armament look like a Nerf gun. One can only imagine that their manned overtechnology fighters were similar (the robot fighters launched from the space carriers weren't really comparable, they seemed more like disposable swarm machines than real fighters).

Yes.

But not all at once.
One platform that does five things poorly is always overshadowed by five platforms that do one thing well. A few people tried this sort of approach in WWII--it didn't work out very well, as evidenced by the M1938 Christie tank (a flying tank that was absolutely horrendous at being either an aircraft or a tank), German U-cruisers (basically a submarine/cruiser hybrid, also a failure), zeppelin aircraft carriers (a big, slow, flammable target that carried some of the most pathetic, useless fighters ever built), various attempts at "battlecarriers" (none made it to the battlefield), etc. Compromise designs are greatly inferior to designs with a clearly defined mission profile, and the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

Can you guys please do something more productive then arguing about a bunch of stuff that never happened.

Put bluntly, why the **** do you care? :P

Because it gives some people a smug sense of superiority to quash discussions because they're too geeky or something.:P

See also: many Something Awful goons. "Uhuhuhuh, look at those [pick an insult: retards/faggots/neckbeards/aspies/furries] arguing over Star Wars, I'm going to feel smarmy and superior even though I spent real money to get on a ****ing internet forum."

@everyone else: Jesus Christ, if you want to see other discussions here, then post something to discuss, it's not like the mods will delete your posts for not being about the validity of variable fighters now.

In maths today my teacher was running us through some non-right angled trig questions on the board, some of the kids on the other side of the class finished the last question with a bit of a smug look on their faces, however I was too busy dropping a perpendicular on my poorly drawn triangle to notice.

After writing in two angles and two side lengths, the teacher walked to my desk as I was working out angle x of the last question.
Teacher: "Dylan, what the hell are you doing?"
Me: "Finding... x?"
Teacher: *sigh* "Dylan, how many degrees are there in a triangle?"
Me: "One-hundred and-" *looks down at the two angles he'd written in* "Oh ****."

I hate trick questions.  ;)

So there's this girl (who shall remain nameless) who I haven't seen since I graduated high school back in 2007, and I haven't had any contact with her, except for when I found her on Facebook several months ago (using a pseudonym, oddly, with a different last name)... and tried to add her as a friend. She ignored the friend request and changed her name (that is, used a different fake last name).

A couple weeks ago I found her again (this time by accident), and sent her a somewhat lengthy message, basically asking that she at least give me the courtesy of telling me to stop trying to contact her (and at most adding me as a friend and then not ignoring me when i try to message her)... and what does she do? She blocks me.

WTF? I practically handed you the means to get me to leave you alone without hurting my feelings, and instead you take the most painful of the options available!

Unfortunately, this is not the first time someone's done this to me.

1. You didn't give any indication that you are someone significant enough for her to remember.

2. The name change probably had nothing to do with you. Don't be so self-absorbed.

3. Lengthy message about how she owes you the courtesy of telling you to leave her alone? I would block you too. That's extremely creepy.

4. If this has happened before, the problem is clearly with you.

Well, specifically relating to #2 (and by extension, #1)... I don't know why Facebook is showing me, but the name it's showing on the sent message, even though it no longer contains a link to her profile has changed AGAIN... Changing her username less than 2 days after I tried to contact her, twice...

Anyway, I've already determined there's no point in pursuing it any further... this is basically just an FML sort of thing, with a little bit of "i'm justified in saying she's a ***** now, right?" for good measure.

You acted like she owed you an explanation, when in fact she doesn’t owe you a thing. She gave you more than one clear signal that she wanted to be left alone, and you ignored them. That is a big fat red flag, even if you didn’t realize you were doing it. If you don’t want to creep people out, don’t act like you’re entitled to their attention. If they want to talk to you they will.

*SIGH*

Aardwolf. About how many girlfriends did you have in High School? You should've dropped any and every hint of 'stalkerism' by number five. I mean, I'm guilty of checking the ex-girlfriend's myspace page from time to time, but it stops there.

The point is, when women say no, it means NO. Pursuing one after she clearly 'says no'/blocks you, especially when it's online, is a huge no-no. Pull a coke out of the fridge and move onto the next one. Some of my friends learned this lesson after many weekends of chatting up girls at a video arcade we frequent. If you really, absolutely have to talk to this girl again, wait a while.

Something to remember, there are many, many women in the world. Out of every 10 openings you have to chat up a girl, at least 1-3 will fail. This is a fact of life. So do yourself a favour, learn it early, and find another babe. Not saying that you had other motives when contacting the girl, but 'stalker-phobia' applies to the majority of women in general. Persevering with women is most definetely an acquired skill.

Rant over.  :D

But I think 1 third of every attempt leading to failure is a bit off. If you spam every girl in the street then it's gonna be higher. If you focus your efforts on a specialist group ie clubs that play music you're into. Or the new receptionist at work  (meeting her at one for a cup of tea and a smoke, my invite. but this is purely to build professional familiarity. Something to build on later ;)) or a mates fit sister. Them the odds increase.

Nope. The best thing to do with creeps is just ignore them and then block them. Never open up communication with them, because they will suck you into their pity party. If someone gives you the creeps, why on earth would you turn around and talk to them? It's in your best interests to make them go away ASAP.

You cannot send her a lengthy message after she has already indicated she’s not interested in talking (by way of ignoring your friend request, if not the name change) without looking like you have no respect for her personal boundaries. Someone who does not respect that kind of signal is unlikely to respect other boundaries either, and thus becomes a plausible threat. Most women are highly sensitive to this kind of threats, as a matter of self-preservation. This is an unfortunate side effect of our culture, and unlikely to change any time soon.

Sending her the first friend request was an appropriate method of initiating contact. But if she’d wanted to talk to you, she would have accepted it. Sending a long message demanding an explanation was inappropriate, and sending any kind of reply would have continued the unwanted interaction. From her perspective, the best and safest course of action is to cut off the contact immediately, and if you pursued her any further from this point it would probably be considered stalking.

Better luck next time.

I was apparently the subject of a lot of one-sided interesting in high school because I was creepy.

...not that I think I was that terribly creepy, but I suppose my reputation for being someone not to cross followed me from middle school.

It's really weird to find that out in college and still run into people years after that and be asked why you were like that back then.

Nobody deserves to be blocked for something so trivial. What she owes me isn't an explanation. It's the decency to treat me as a respectful, respectable human being, complete with feelings that can be hurt and ought not to be unnecessarily.
Oh, FFS. Come on man.

Women play by their rules. So in other words, you'll get what you're ****ing given. If you're going to play this game, know that any 'You'll respect me because I'm human' speech is not going to get you anywhere.

As far as you're concerned, she is not obligated to treat you humanely and play by your rules. To reiterate what Rian said, she would've talked to you if she wanted to. Are you going to follow some girl around the city after she shoots you down because she didn't want to talk to you? I don't ****ing think so.

There are many, many women in this world. And at least a few of them will treat you with respect. :)

Of course not. But I didn't... either in the literal sense, or in the sense of cyber-stalking, etc.. I hadn't heard from her in more than 2 years when I first tried to add her as a friend, and what happened just now came several months after that. And 'shooting me down' makes it sound like I'm after something I'm not.

Marginally related note: I hate it when people expect me to take a hint instead of just coming out and saying something.

Well, I'd say trying to contact her after she'd blocked you counted as at least walking after her after she said no. My advice is just not to do it next time and let it go.

I was playing CoD: MW2 and running The Pit over and over again to see how far down I could get my time when I realized that the game had become ridiculously easy at some point.  Probably when I hit 25 seconds and 150% accuracy on average for my run-throughs.  To counter that, I decided to switch my button layout to Lefty, and invert my looking controsl, only to break my previous personal best and get under 20 seconds for the course (Unmodified time: 26.6 seconds, 150% accuracy.  Modified time: 19.1 seconds).

Then I switched my stick layout to Southpaw, and sucked balls at it.  Finally a challenge to it.  I still managed to get under 30 seconds on the course now, but I have an irritating time trying to strafe around corners.  I keep ending up on the other side of the street, looking straight up, very confused.

Total money from scholarships/grants available (so far): $14800.
Estimated cost of a year's tuition at K-State: $14200.

i just bastardized together a rather disorganized piece of software to control my nxt with a joystick. i mean this program is held together by duct tape and bailing wire. i broke pretty much every rule in the book. despite the total lack of sound design i think it works.

im not using any of the nxt motors, using a servo controller board and a motor multiplexer board instead. the servo controller drives just one servo for steering. the motor controller is driving 4 of the old lego motors from the old rcx, the ones that had really high performance and efficiency (nxt motors are too ****ing slow). the motors drive the wheels at 1/2 reduction for sanity. the suspension is from the 8880 supercar set, independent suspension and 4 wheel steering (not to mention 4w drive with each wheel powered by its own motor). i think this thing will do 30 mph when i get it working.

i discovered that even without the nxt motors attached to the ports, you can still read (and remotely write) to the motor status registers. by reading the data i can set the motors to the desired speed and servos to the desired position. since the motor and servo controllers run on on the i2c interface on the sensor side of the nxt, and the motor ports remain free, this works very well. my proggie just tries to control the power of the motors which arent connected, writing to the registers. i was about to take a test drive, but i realized i completely drained the 2 lithium polimer 9volt batteries that were powering the motors. i also completely drained the no-rechargable servo 9v. so im gonna have to drive it in the morning, lipolys take about 12 hours to recharge :mad:

And tonight I learned that ShadowGorrath is a raging, bigoted hatemonger who spews virulent hate speech that would get him prosecuted in some countries to my face. (http://www.game-warden.com/forum/showthread.php?p=127784#post127784) I don't like airing dirty laundry, but this goes far beyond the pale.

He's really pissed me off this time. I wonder what he'll have to say for himself. I wish I had kept the conversation log so I'd have a perfect smoking gun but sometimes you don't make the best choices when you're pissed.

Due to ShadowGorrath trying to put it into the private forum to try to cover it up, here's the quoted text:

Quote
Due to extremely virulent hate speech uttered by ShadowGorrath in an IM conversation, I may not be able to work with him anymore, and it must be decided now what is to be done with this forum. ShadowGorrath has:

* Repeatedly and explicitly called for the murder of homosexuals like me
* Described homosexuals as "scum" not deserving of rights.
* Uttered hate speech about ethnic minorities living in his native country of Lithuania
* Insulted me for being a homosexual
* Engaged in an utterly "laughable" argument with me where he used blatant contradictions (i.e. "I don't care about what other people do in their private business but all fags must die") and denied that they contradicted each other.
* Tried to play the victim when I called him on his despicable statements.

I refuse to work to ShadowGorrath or accept anything he asks of me until he publicly recants these assertions and apologizes to me (again, publicly) for being a virulent homophobe. Dragon, I also urge you to break ties with him if possible. Some things are just not acceptable under any circumstances.

ShadowGorrath, I always thought your beliefs were unusually rabid and downright scary at times, but I was willing to put up with you. But now you've really gone beyond the pale. You have stepped over the line and forced me to publicly expose you as the hatemonger you are. My only regret is that in the heat of my anger, I closed the window without copying the entire text of the conversation so I could further humiliate you in front of your peers. **** you, asshole.

I was watching someone's virus demonstrations on YouTube, and I found an interesting desktop on one of his videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g21w3EMBdQ8&feature=channel).

Spoiler:
It's 'A Failure to Communicate' from FSPort.

I'm with Battuta on this one. Rarely do you see someone who's bold enough to say things like that in public (ecept maybe BlackDove, but even he is reserved enough to spoiler his own text).

I'm also mentally kicking myself now, because I have an assignment due Thursday, and I haven't started working on it yet.

...and I got yet another session timed out error here.

I think Woolie wanted to keep it isolated, which was why he didn't start a topic on GenFSDisc here. Remember what happened when Hellstryker posted there saying that he was quitting HLP?

Or you could just resolve that matter in private instead of making a drama about it in the open
Not everyone likes homosexuality (me included) and not everyone is going to be political correct about it. Face the harsh reality. Seriously, If you don't like working with someone who has conflicting views then simply stop working with him. I really don't see the point of throwing it out in public in an attempt to get the whole forum community to hate him, stop being such a drama queen.  :rolleyes:

I don't like heterosexuality (it's gross), but you don't see me saying all straights must die, etc. That's the kind of person who *should* be publicly hung out to dry, because that kind of person is potentially dangerous.

As weird as this may sound, I agree with you completely. I'm straight, but I acknowledge the existence of gays and lesbians and treat them like I would a normal human being.

Dekker, sorry to interrupt you, and I'll let you continue in a moment, but my friends are pretty much evenly split between gay, bi, and straight, plus more then a few have other things on top of that. So it's really hard for me to give a crap about someone's sexuality, just because it's all the same to me.

No matter your opinions, advocating the deaths of all members of a group is hateful and despicable, and it deserves public condemnation.

He repeatedly said 'all fags must die'. That's not 'politically incorrect', that's just wrong. If you want to defend that, it's your funeral.

No. Schoolwork.

I've never paid full attention to weddings I attend, and I always take great measures to mute the passing of my own birthday because I find it pointless. If I'm celebrating someone else's birthday, however, it gives me more energy, rather than drain it.

I removed two people from my buddy list. Oh, and I cussed one of them out first. Naturally I got no reply... if they were in the business of replying, I wouldn't have been in the business of removing them from my buddy list >.<

And now I can't seem to sign onto any of my AIM accounts. Some nondescript error.

Hey, nice job there. :)

Well, I'm back from school, and it's almost 11 pm here. I had three large assignments, and I've completed and submitted two of them. Tomorrow's the last day of the school year, so I'm going back to finish it.

I've also been informed that there have been some changes regarding my upcoming internship on March 22, so I also need to be in school tomorrow to know what the hell's going on.

Oh, and I got yet another session timed out error.

Long story short, I was dicking around with my friends at the library yesterday, and one of them took a picture of another, which just happened to have, in the backround, me doing a pelvic thrust at the subject of the picture... intentionally. I went to get something from another part of the library, then as I came back, the guy I'd airraped came up behind me, hauled off and kicked me in the ass. I seriously went flying. He connected right with the tailbone. I couldn't feel my ass for the rest of the day. Now I can... and it hurts... really bad...

I can't even sit down...

Jesus, it was just a joke...

Worst part was, if ANYONE else there had done that to him, even the hobo that comes to use the computer, NOTHING would have happened.

I'm 17 and I don't care already.  I won't drink when I'm old enough, so it doesn't matter.  Although, I can finally get a full driver's licensce at 18, but that's more of a convenience than a necessity or real desire.  I did get lucky with the date though.  My birthday is two days before my High School Graduation.

Anyway, I should really be getting to bed, since I need to be at the school at seven tomorrow to get to the State competition.

Great game, that. I have the United version, but Stadium (the environment that you play in on Nations) is good fun by itself, and if you play online most servers will run only Stadium tracks to allow both Nations and United players to participate.

In Scotland, you can really drive, drink, or shag at any age you want and nobody really gives a crap...not that I have money to do any of those things, so therefore not bothered about turning 18 in a few months. It'll just be another day with presents and better food than usual :P

Yalp. Real easy to get off the ground at 110-120kts. And because it's got an afterburner, when you "light it up," three afterburner flames shoot out!

This is another one of Daniel's planes (my friend who supplied me with the Royal Navy fleet pack to convert to FreeSpace). I started tweaking it back a long time ago, and hopefully I'll finish somewhere down the line for X-Plane 9. The screenshot was from X-Plane 8...

See if this gives you a significant boost.  (I have been using them for quite some time, they are EDIT: very good.)

Yeah; remember to drink it BEFORE anyone catches you with it. I don't know about the rules for you college, but mine says that they're not allowed to search your private bags. They're allowed to search to their hearts content anything out in the open or in their furniture, but they can't go into a suitcase or anything.

I'm actually in agreement there.
But then again, I've never really been taught by a teacher that hates people.

At work today. I was doing a stat report. I ****ing hate doing stat reports.
 
Ten minutes after I sent batch number one, my boss (only six months my senior) comes flouncing in through the door. Not letting me get a word in edgewise he proceeds to launch into a tirade of verbal abuse at why my source data is wrong. I don't generate the source data. I just compile it. Telling him to get his facts right he launches into an even bigger rant about how the client won't like my dismissiuf attitude, at which point I curtly give him a rageface, step up staring him in the eye and state 'SO?'
 
He replies, 'what do you mean so?' I elaborated. 'what the flying **** do I care if x y or z don't get their arse wiped in time for the midday ****?'
 
He huffed and puffed and flounced out of the room. Round one to me.
 
Later in the day after I graciously provide corrected data, he comes back to me after I follow a client email 'to the letter'. Can't stress that enough. Followed every single direction on it. She's now whining that 'it's not formatted properly. I stand by my guns and correct him, it's as formatted as it's ever going to get, I say. Apparently formatting now means reading minds and knowing which fields she wants me to pull out of my arse.
 
He tells of to start bloody thinking. I tell him to pull his head out her arse. He dares me to correct the clients use of the english language. Two minutes later as i'm in the lift going up to see the client, I see him running up the stairs to intercept me. I'm now at the point where fists will fly.
 
After a hasty apology from 'boss' he declares his intention to do the job for me after he gets a haircut.
 
He didn't come back. Round two to me.
 
Can't wait uh tomorrow. I'm off to my weekly army fix now.

You know, I can safely say that level of sophistication in a dress is wasted from the standpoint of improving one's appearance. Impressing people with complexity and expense, sure, it'll do that, but it won't make you look any better.

18:26 RK|HomePC watch the link, it's related    
18:27 Thaeris They're not also full-time high-school students, as well are they? That's like the lamest convention known to man...

Trying to write a ghazal. I'm at least getting the form right, but it's making my poem crappy. Argh.

What I have so far:

I finished!

I am harboring some mighty frustration with you
Over how I can't have a conversation with you

Your cold blue eyes and upturned nose don't appear to
Have any effect on my fixation with you.

It isn't fair the way you ignore my attempts
At forming some affable relation with you.

Let's not have any misunderstandings on this:
The goal was friendly association with you.

I never had any desire to start conflict
Or engage in futile confrontation with you.

You are insidious from whisker to claw and tail
And I conclude there's no mediation with you.

Structured poems are for chumps...

And what of this dissatisfaction,
A blank slate of mind
Drowning in the torments
Of a love unkind

Why is this?

How so of this cruelty,
This mindlessness become
A hole in the head
A feeling so numb

Why must this be?

Don't use that, that would be plagiarism.  ;)

i got my spitfire today, started putting it together to get it ready to fly. turns out it came with a motor, so the brushless motor i bought is not neccisary, unfortunately the motor it comes with is a brush motor anbd the esd i recieved is for the brushless motor, so i have no way to control throttle. maybe do it with a potentiometer and a small servo (i bought extra). the battery i bought turns out to be way too big to fit into the airframe. turns out im gonna need to buy a lot more stuff before i can fly. grrr.

I went back to playing SimCity 4 and decided to make a new region based on a tutorial I found here (http://www.sc4ever.com/knowledge/showarticle.cfm?id=1103). Now I'm just waiting for my IBM to hopefully finish processing the region map.

While waiting, I did a quick Google search and came across this (http://washingtonfuturecity.org/simcity.html).

Quote from: http://washingtonfuturecity.org/index.html
A competition for 7th & 8th grade students to foster interest in engineering, math, and science through hands-on, real world applications.

Quote from: http://washingtonfuturecity.org/simcity.html
This year the Competition will be using SimCity 4.

The SimCity file and the Computer Evaluation Sheet must both be RECEIVED by the "end of business day" on MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 2010. This is the absolute last day to submit. No late submittals will be accepted.

Future City teams will be required to send a burned CD (* or thumbdrive) containing the city's region folder. Teams are encouraged to change their region's folder name to match their city name.

Seriously now. :wtf:

i got my spitfire together after all. figured out how to get the motor off of the plane without breaking it and installed my brushless motor instead, so i can use the esc that i have. as for the battery not fitting, nothing a box cutter couldnt deal with. had to cut through some structural foam to get the cell in there, but once installed theres little room left for anything. now the battery is 11.1 volt and im not sure what voltage the receiver takes, its not labeled anywhere. not sure if i should just wire it to the battery and hope it dont melt, or to use some kind of power circuit to drop it to a more sane number, like 6v, though it works fine on a 9v battery. im not sure if i should push it. also i added a camera to the cockpit which takes 9v. i actually had to modify the canopy because the plastic was too blurry, so i cut ther front off with a dremel and used some clear plastic sheets and a lot of glue to make a more translucent part of the windshiield for the camera to point out of. it aint pretty (and definately not aerodynamic) but iy will work. i was testing all the control surfaces but all my batteries decided to stop working all at the same time. so i put the plane down and signed up for the starcraft 2 beta and now im going to sleep.

You don't.  You braze it.  Er... well, I am assuming by tungsten you mean tungsten carbide as I've never heard of anyone attempting to deal with pure tungsten before.  Tungsten carbide is not something you can weld, but you can generally bond it to a substrate through brazing.

If you really are trying to bond pure tungsten, I still don't think you could actually weld it.  The melting point for elemental tungsten is 6192°F (3422°C).  Tungsten is used in some welding equipment because of this, most notable tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding.  I think you'll still have to use brazing.

What are you actually trying to do?

Post by: Klaustrophobia on February 18, 2010, 10:27:41 am
nope, pure tungsten (or a 25% rhenium alloy).  what we are doing with it is making a spherical grid with 3 concentric loops of wire.  it is going to be used in a small D-D fusion based neutron generator.  the insane melting point is why we need it, because we are going to be throwing 20,000 volts across this thing, and a rough calculation puts the steady-state temp at ~3000 F.

anywho, that was kinda a rhetorical just to be a smartass/vent anyway, as we've mostly got it figured out.  it requires a spot welder, blow a large(ish) current through the contact point, it heats it to the melting point, and there you go.  which makes us one of 3 groups in the country who know how to do this, and one of 2 that actually have the capablility.  :cool:  the problem we are combating now is embrittlement.

re: embrittlement.  Shyeah, I bet you are!  Welding causes embrittlement in even the most ductile of metals without proper post-weld heat-treatment.  I can only imagine what is happening here.  Could you try maybe a stress-relieve anneal?  I've no idea how hot you'd have to get for that to work with Tungsten.  Routinely heating up to 3000°F probably doesn't help.

Sounds like a pretty neat project.

i was hoping to take my spitfire out for a spin. so this morning i finished soldering together the wiring. and started work on the makshift power connector. i didnt have any of the right kind of connectors but i had plenty of molex connectors from dead computer parts, so i cut one in half since i only needed two connections. i checked continuity with the multimeter and double checked all the rather confusing electronics specs. anyway i hooked up the battery and got some nice arcing followed by white smoke coming out of almost every piece of electronics in the plane. turns out i fried everything. esc, reciever, all 3 servos. motor is probably still in tact but it looks like im gonna need to spend another 50 bucks on parts. i think the battery i had was abit too powerful.

I'd say physics, but you have to realize that there is little prospect for gainful employment unless you stay within academia or find your way into a national lab.  Either way, you have to go all the way to Ph. D. in order to even be considered for the jobs available.  In most cases, you'll probably need some post-doc work as well.  That environment can be rather brutal.  The "publish or perish" workplace was too stressful for me, and I decided I had to get out.  I have only rarely regretted the decision, but as a mech. engineer, I had that luxury (plenty of jobs outside of academia).  That isn't nearly so true for physics, sadly.

Engineering. It's like practical physics.

To elaborate, I started college majoring in Physics. Then I realized that I didn't want to teach physics and that the parts of physics that interest me aren't really being researched anymore. So: mechanical engineering. It's applied science. Good stuff. :yes:

i'm in engineering myself, and haven't looked back.  i DO enjoy learning the pure physics of stuff, but that's brought down to earth somewhat by the realization that a great deal of what physics teaches breaks down in the real engineering world.  as my advisor put it the other day, engineers are the people who shatter physicsts' dreams :P

But you lost time waiting for the problem to be corrected. Things like unrecognized official AC Adapters or broken keyboards or even broken LCD's... they're cheap to manufacture but end up costing a lot of time and money to fix, during which you're either impeded or completely and totally stopped from using the computer. Being unable to charge and having the battery run out quickly is just another issue that pops up frequently.

On the other hand, they have great support policy. (Seriously, come to your home and everything.)

I can entirely agree with problem #1; glossy screens are beyond annoying. I buy laptops that I can use most anywhere; even my little netbook (with a matte screen) can be used outside on a sunny day. Loss of contrast? Yep. Loss of use? Nope. I decided against glossy screens 110% for myself after having used my mum's laptop in the living room. If there's bright light behind you, it's not going to work well. I had better luck actually on a cross-country roadtrip with a glossy screen, but that was because of tinted windows and a closed sunroof.

I hereby announce my dislike for a couple of recent trends in laptop design!

  • Glossy screens. Seriously, wtf? I bought a computer with a long battery life so I could do stuff like playing video-games in the back seat on long car rides. But that doesn't work, because I can't see anything. Also it gets marks on it a lot faster.
  • Volume controls. The little touch-sensitive things that make the volume go up/down or mute it have to go through the OS. Meaning if my computer went into standby while I had music playing, when I wake it up again, I'm not going to be able to turn that music off until I log in. Apologies to everyone in the room who's trying to listen to the professor.
  • The CD tray... basically the same issue as the volume controls. My new laptop doesn't even HAVE a tray. The disk just slides in/out. Cool idea, but it prevents me from using mini-CD's or irregular CD's which would work in any 'normal' disk drive, and as with the volume controls, I can't eject the damn CD unless I'm logged in!

Bleh.

#1 just sucks, my screen has such a narrow view angle where you have to fine tune the angle of the screen to be able to see anything, then you get glare from hell. whoever designs stuff like this needs to be shot.

#2 valume controls have always sucked. i actually uninstalled the hotkey support drivers for a number of reasons, the first of which was that the web button would always runb internet explorer even if it was not the default application. the volume control just didnt work most the time, all the other buttons just launched pre-installed applications i never used. the easy way around this is to disable logons when returning from sleep mode. less secure but who cares.

#3 isnt so bad. the rate of failure for those tray based laptop cd/dvd drives is ridiculously high. this is because the number of exposed precision components, namely the laser lens is too great. id rather loose the ability to use mini cds and oddly shaped cds for a slot loading machine without the laser lens in such a vulnerable position.

I saw the Asus Eee Keyboard. I didn't keep up with tech news from the recent convention(s?), but I do have to say I'm a touch disappointed with Asus's concept. I understand what they're going for (a wireless keyboard as a media center computer), but they shot themselves in the foot with the concept. I just think it'd be better done as an EeeTop replacement; an all-in-one keyboard with very few cables.

Production house. I decided to throw in everything I did over the past three years that was relevant to post-production and editing. It turned out to be quite a time-consuming portfolio to go through. :)

Anyway, the interview's over. I left with quite a good impression of the company and place, and I think I am going to like working with them. My travel time is just over half an hour if traffic's light, and I start work at 10 am every weekday. All that will change when they move out to a more central location in July, but for now, it's all good.

I have no idea what to do with the rest of today (about three hours). My sister's probably going to need my MacBook to do her schoolwork (because it is the only computer in the house with a legal copy of Adobe InDesign), so I can't continue playing BP:AoA:DC. I might just continue proofreading some Trauma Center fanfics that I'm compiling, or otherwise play SimCity 4. :nervous:

****, the cpu can probably do all the multiplies and adds faster than the memory can be accessed, especially if all the cells are sequential in memory. i dont see that as something that would benefit much from multiple threads, it would just slow the whole process down.

mine is a nuclear systems test, so it WILL be rather hard.  from previous students in the class, we WILL be failing, it's just to what degree do you fail.
my lack of concern is what is concerning me.  i know i am not the least bit prepared, and yet i'm not even the slightest bit panicked.  yet.  but i still have almost 6 hours....

I started an extremely lengthy debate on philosophy with some super-religious youtuber who spammed me with an equaly lengthy message about how everyone is a terrible sinner and must convert to the teachings of Christianity or else burn in eternal hellfire.

And now the discussion has turned to the theory of star formation, and he's losing the debate hilariously.

Isn't it obvious?




I'm eating an apple.


In other news...
I've been playing a lot of Civ4 recently. The game is down to two super-powers, myself and the Incan Empire. I'm in a perm alliance with the Portuguese under Joao II, and we've been going to war a few times now since acquiring a nice combination of fission and rocketry. The short version is I'm the only race with (nuclear) ICBM's, and they've been used frequently in now two wars.

The first was was declared upon me by Huayna Capac, not long after I formed a permanent alliance with Joao II. He sends a dinky invasion set that capture a worthless city and then are kicked off my continent. He tries to invade all gung-ho, but apparently the AI doesn't expect a player to have a NORAD-like defense system backed up by decent-sized fleets of destroyers and battleships, as well as the very bombers that spotted them. I spotted his approaching REAL fleet (a an escort and 8 transports loaded presumptively with WWII-style tanks), and started bombing them (to soften them up) before my fleet of destroyers sunk them and their escort. This happened about four more times by the Incan's various vassals as well as once or twice more by the Inca themselves. Each time it's the same deal; bombers spot them out in the ocean, they're bombed, and then a cleanup fleet sends them below the waterline.

Meanwhile, I am bringing about 15 transports and an escort to Joao's land, and unload them. They go and invade one of Huayna's vassals, Carthage, as well as liberate a few cities that Huayna still held since Carthage capitulated. Long story short is that, besides a few small islands, Huayna lost control of the western part of the continent.

I declare peace and get a hefty payoff (3000g plus another 700g in subsequent turns), but not before unleashing about 8 ICBM's on the Incan homeland, decimating their population. Over the ~20 turn peace that follows, I rebuild my ICBM reserves (currently over a dozen) and start building a carrier fleet. With enough ICBM's and having healed and reassigned a few bomber groups, I set my sights on the last sovereign nation; China. With 3 blocs left (Huayna Capac with 3-4 vassals, down once since Carthage's conquest; myself with Joao II and the capitulated Carthage; and Mao Zedong, alone, of China), I declare war on China and set out to decimate their forces. I used about 4 ICBM's; one softened Shanghai, a second softened a fortress too close for comfort to Portugal, and the other two were launched to, ironically, destroy tactical nukes that China was planning to use against me. I found them and destroyed them all during the same turn (before they could disappear to the fog of war). I let the war drag on a bit and kept invading, and liberated or gifted all of the cities taken to Portugal, since they were undersized compared to me. In fact, they still are, though they've doubled in land and population. China capitulates and now contributes to my land and population totals. I figure that I can "shake free" a few more of Huayna Capac's vassals by building up a big enough ICBM fleet. I figure that 40-50 ICBM's should drop Huayna's population low enough to convince at least two of his capitulated vassals to break free. Soften them up with an invasion and I'm sure that they too will agree to capitulate to me.

I just burned a CD of ten Touhou games' worth of music.

I frakked it up somehow though and it only plays the first track over and over. :wtf:

Good music though, almost compels me to play the games.

It won't be enough to compel me, though. I've played bullet hell games before, so I know how nerve-wracking they are on me.

In the meantime, I'm having hiccups and hearing a cat mewing very loudly downstairs. This isn't the first time this happened, and I suspect that this cat has been mewing in the dead of night for many days over the past few months. During the day, everything's fine, but when it comes to night-time, I hear this cat. I do not know why this cat always sounds like it's in a lot of pain, and I really hope that it's just trying to learn how to sing.

The hiccups were probably caused by me eating fish and mixing it up with a glass of milk. I've been having hiccups for the past three hours in a stretch and, frankly, I'm getting annoyed. How am I supposed to go to bed now? :mad:

I have noticed a significant difference in behavior depending on when I'm on it. When I'm not taking it, I unconsciously tend to vocalize a lot more, IE, random singing, and eat > the average person eats in a lifetime. It does seriously help me, if for no other reason than as a plecebo.

It's kindof weird, knowing I have access to a controlled substance.

I think it was just a matter of taking command of my own mind/maturing to a greater degree. I found I didn't need medications to function properly - I just needed to become more introspective and "step beyond" certain aspects of my character. Life is continually like that.  :nod:

While placebo treatments are effective and mindset is a key element of resolving pathologies, the brain is an organ like any other, and chemical alteration is often a key aspect of rectifying problem behaviors.

Patients should strive for outlooks that help them improve. At the same time, no one should feel that taking medication is somehow a weakness or a 'cheat'. Don't fall into the trap of believing that you can will yourself free of a mental disorder.

Spring must be in the air. I'm flirting with receptionists. I told a female portuguese  colleague "estoy caliente' (spelling apologies) she responded by spanking my ass?!
 
I saw a young couple snogging at Farringdon station. Rather than the usual eye roll I just thought 'awww :3' cute.
I'm either in the process of spontaninous gender reassignment, or I NEED a woman.
 
 
Halp.

I managed to record the MIDI from an old MS-DOS game called Overkill. How did I do it? I played through the entire game on DOSBox while it was recording the MIDI music into a single file.

Unfortunately, it's in a mess at the moment. In other words, every single MIDI file embedded into the game, save the menu music, was recorded into a single MIDI file with no sound transitions or anything. In other words, it's just like playing the game with only music enabled. However, I've listened to it on mplayer2, and it's balls-on accurate. Do you still want it?

You should be able to. Access the keymapper (CTRL+F1) and remember the controls for CapMIDI. Mine is set to CTRL+ALT+F8, but yours might be different. You don't need to turn sound off when recording, because music is played and captured on a separate channel from sound.

The music files are in the full version too, but don't seem to be usable by the game. It has alternate, FM versions of the same tracks instead, but I think many of those sound worse.

As per my earlier warning, these files are the original files as they were recorded while I was playing and have not been edited in any way.
As I type this, I'm recording some of the songs in overkill_001.mid using custom soundfonts in XMPlay (not General MIDI) and exporting them out as MP3 files. I may upload them into this same folder later if anyone wants them.

They already work for for my potential new employer and will vouch for character and experience/maturity in context.   This will be an absolute dream job, a welcome change from my recent mundane job of sheer necessity to something a bit more becoming of my past.

After watching all of SuperCoolAI's excellent Let's Play BluePlanet (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=68253.0) earlier today, I've been toying with the idea of trying it out myself, since it seems like a lot of fun.  I signed up for XFire and have its video-capture up and running, so maybe I'll give it a shot.  The retail campaigns seem to have been more than covered on YouTube, so I have one or two others in mind.

Derelict is mine.

I'm starting my internship with a company called Emoxis LLP in nine hours' time, and I will be working with them for the next five months, until 6 or 9 August. I really want to make a decent impression of myself during my stay with them and learn some things about the film industry, so ... yeah, that's it.

I'm going to spend the next seven hours asleep, the eighth getting ready, and the final hour travelling to work.

So I went back to work today, a Saturday. The rules in place state that, whenever I work on a weekend, I get one day's leave, so I've just earned myself a free day of rest for one extra day of work. Now, on which day next week should I put it ... I can't put it on a Monday because I have a project due on that date, and although I'd like to put it on Friday, I might be asked to go back to work next Saturday. Ideally, I should settle for the Monday after next, but I'm not sure if my day's leave will still be valid by that time. :nervous:

While at work today, I spoke to a freelancer doing one of Emoxis' projects. She gave me a few words of advice regarding the company, which I'm certain will be useful when communicating with the full-time staff here.

This does not change the fact that "mortality" is still the first word that comes into my mind whenever I start a day of work, though. I'm really hoping that I can replace it with no words over time.

She broke up with me. Then came back a few times only to leave again.

But as far as I know, it was on good terms. At least, I could hardly blame her, considering it was a long-distance thing and we haven't seen each other in person for like 4 years now.

I decided that the best way for me to arrange for a good day to take leave is to keep in touch with one of Emoxis' producers. As much as I look forward to a day off to balance the work I did yesterday, I don't want to take leave at the most inconvenient time for the company, and as it is, one of their full-time employees has taken a week's leave effective yesterday, so they're short of one very productive member.

I've been playing Civ4:BTS. I'm up to 1952 now and am on the cusp of victory... though I think I'll leave off on the victory bit for a while. I control a complete continent plus about a quarter (each) of two others. I invaded with huge stacks of Tanks (28 strength) and only late into the war was able to upgrade them to Modern Armor (40 strength). I'm thinking of crippling Pericles (Greece) in a short but bloody war.

Since I'm playing the Next War mod, I'm thinking of avoiding fast victory. I want to build Automatons (cheap weak clones) or Cyborgs (cheap stronger clones) and simply pile Greece that way. At this point, either choice would be stronger than his typical Riflemen. I've such a huge tech advantage that it's silly.

Next time I play, I'm going to have to bump the difficulty up one or two. I'm getting pretty darn good at clearing my continent of opposition and then teching to victory. This game has, more than anything, been in my favor.

Yeahno.  Putting the hilarity of the premise aside, its actual implementation was just flat-out brutal.  The mile-high club couple?  The guy taking a leak?  The ridiculously-huge anaconda?  That twenty or so minutes of pure, continuous mayhem was just awesome.

I don't know, maybe it's the sort of movie you have to see with the right kind of audience.  I saw it while at school in a nearly-packed theater in the basement of our student center, and the entire crowd was completely and utterly into it.  Samuel L. got a huge cheer when he first stepped on-screen, there was all kinds of yelling out loud and laughing, and everyone belted out "the line" in unison.  Probably the most fun I've ever had in a movie theater. :D

Looks like this will be my new setup.

AsRock H55DE3 or P55DE3
Core i5 750
2 * 2GB DDR3 1333MHz
Radeon HD5770 1GB (HIS, Club3D, Asus... or whatever will be the cheapest)

Now all I need to choose where to buy.

Newegg?
1) Why not a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 or GA-P55-USB3? $100-135 in the USA.
2) DDR3 1600 CL8 or CL9 instead of DDR3 1333 CL9? In US, price difference is like $1.
3) XFX is usually recommended here if within a few bucks; warranty service et al is great.

Good recommendations, thanks for the hints. But since I do live in Fin that gives some ... issues when ordering abroad.

Also the product prices vary a bit from what they are in the US. Around here Arserocks are usually cheaper than any other brand, and what I've heard they're actually not that bad so I decided to have a try.
And 1333MHz memories are also a lot cheaper here.
XFX cards seem fine that's for sure, but I found one HIS that was otherwise the same but a bit cheaper (well maybe the XFX had 2 DVI's when HIS has only 1 - + HDMI and DP-  but that doesn't matter that much since I only have 1 monitor :F). But I'll keep those recommendations in mind. There was only 1 HIS left on the store when I looked at their website anyway, so I may have to rethink that if it's gone already.

Back from work. I had a good day, and it started off ten minutes before I woke up, when I received my progress report through handphone. The results are uplifting.

Then, no more than three minutes after I stepped into the office, I got a call from one of my school teachers. He's one of the teachers I'm friendlier to, and he's going to be my liaison officer throughout my internship. In other words, he's the person I have to keep updated on my progress throughout the next eighteen weeks, and he will be the first person I should turn to if something goes wrong at work.

Today was an unusually light day for me. Normally, I would be bogged down with at least two tasks, but not today. When I was done with the only task I was given today, my superior told me to get out of my seat and find a better-lit area to sit down and pass the time. In that fashion, I spent three out of the last four hours of work today reading the User Guide for Adobe After Effects CS3, which I use at work.

In the last hour, I was told to make some minor alterations to the only task I did earlier today, and it all came out flawlessly.

While walking towards the bus-stop to take a bus home, I missed a ride, so I assumed that I would have to wait another twenty minutes to board another crowded bus (which is what usually happens), but imagine my shock and delight when, less than five minutes later, a second bus came, it was a double-decker, and it was almost empty.

When I got back home, my mum told me that she had just finished boiling the soup.

And so I am here, posting this since I didn't have any reason to kill Firefox. I'm happy. :D

Uh, Captain Oblivious, 'drink' doesn't mean water.

I effed up my left hand with a malfunctioning  hot glue gun in tech today. I grabbed it, and then went to use it while my left hand held the two parts together. i pulled the trigger... and hot glue came out. hot enough to be about as viscous as water. And it got all over my left hand.

it ****ing hurts.

I got up at quarter to five, navigated three mile by foot to an agreed meeting point. I'm just waiting to meet my mate for . . . . . . Paintball.
 
 
I'm not that enthralled. But I need that particular form of exercise that only comes from running and sliding and stopping and rolling.
 
 
My mate and therefore lift, are late. Everyone else is nearly there.
I demand people move closer so I can get picked up closer to home next time.

after looking at the datasheet for the atmega328p, i detemrined that my high voltage needed to be > 3 volts and my low needed to be <1.5 volts, while my reciever was really only giving me a 1 volt signal. with a little help from an opamp, i managed to get that signal in the zone. i had spent hours trying to use a pn2222a to boost the signal, said **** it and brought out the big guns. 3 minutes later i had my rx light on the arduino blinking. of course my communication protocol that i came up with really sucks. im gonna use a shorter frame and a longer preamble and maybe throw on come error checking code on top of it. i kinda tried to go with an 8 byte frame with the first byte being ff and the rest being anything other than ff, which kinda sucks really. i might send a 2 byte preamble with an FF00 signal, then a 1 byte address of the thing im controlling (i havent decided that part yet, right now im just running servos), followed by a 2 byte value and maybe a crc. then when a frame is detected, handle everything on that pass. of course that introduces the problem of missing an update so i may just waste time on the transmitter so the reciever has time to generate a pwm pulse to the servo and get back to reading frames.

Got back from work three hours ago. I had a relatively light day today, and I have no tasks until Thursday, although that doesn't mean I can take tomorrow off or anything. When I was leaving my workplace today, I couldn't decide what to eat for dinner - Italian or rice - so I decided to let the bus service choose for me.

The bus-stop at my workplace has several bus services running through it. Two of them are 12 and 14. Service 12 takes me to work and back, while Service 14 follows a parallel path for two-thirds of the journey, but ultimately goes past the turn-off that leads to my house.

I decided that, if 12 comes first, I'll go home and buy rice from downstairs, and if 14 comes first, I'll stop at one of the Italian restaurants along the way, eat dinner, then take 12 and go home. I thought 14 stood a pretty high chance of coming first, since I missed a ride home by about a minute, and 14 has a far higher bus frequency than 12.

Spoiler:
12 came first.

I just translated a 3-page-long contract full of business expressions. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, because translating from a foreign language to your mother language is a lot easier than the other way around.. Online dictionaries help a lot.

Hmm, I may get back into learning how to use that. Although I might give Paint.NET a look in the near future.

But then, I'm not artistic as is. I've tried to coax myself into taking up GIMP and Blender but to no real avail. Someday I think I'd like to contribute to a mod in some sort of capacity, but I need some skills. Not sure where the talent is going to come from though.

My general sentiment is still, "If you can't do it by hand, do it by hand until you can." However, the use of a CAD program will be a great asset for finalizing drawings - Photoshop would be better, I'm sure, but you use what you can. :p

Got back from work two hours ago.

I worked two and a half hours overtime to help my boss with an extremely critical project, due eight hours from now, when he visits the client. When I left the workplace, it was 10 pm, so I decided to find a nearby restaurant to have dinner. As it turns out, there was a Chinese restaurant two bus-stops away (about 400m) that was still open, so I had a plate of diced beancurd and fried noodles there. It tasted real good.

After I finished dinner, I decided to walk another two bus-stops down the road. As I did, I realised that, despite nearly being run ragged today, walking down this particular road at night made me VERY happy. If I had all the time in the world to kill, I might have even considered walking the remaining 3 km back home instead of taking a bus. As it stands, however, I still have to go back to work tomorrow morning, so yeah.

I'm now trying to install an extremely old DOS game on my Mac. DOSBox cannot help me here, so I'm attempting to try using Boxer.

Went out for drinks after work as is expected from me, the funny all round nice guy that I am. Anyway I turned up to a leaving set for some lovely genuinely pleasant girls. Throughout the course of the night, by half nine in fact one of them took a tipsy turn for the worse. So I spent the better part me three hours getting her to deepest darkest essex where I executed a precision changeover with her dad. He's now in possession of her. She's got a boyfriend, that's besides the point. As bolschy as I may have been. My main interest was to get this twenty six year old girl to the point where I she was safe. I fought of all manner of drunken london arseholes between Marylebone and liverpool street. Gave her my coat while she threw up on my mirrored boots. Called her dad while she drank my lucozade, demanded a seat on her train so she could sit  down on it. Called her dad once it was on its way. Struggled to get a train home after tired tubes southbound.    
 
My left coat arm is caked in her blood after a high pressure nosebleed that freaked her out. To be honest this was the most platonic protective night out i've ever had since I was a section leader back in 2001 pre Bosnia and I feel pretty good for getting a damsel in distress back home or at least most of the way.
 
I feel pretty good indeed.
 
 
 
Edit- the nosebleed was hers, Not mine.
I blame the alcahol content in her blood. I think that was what drew me to her.

I was out of there in less than ten minutes, since I found nothing interesting.

And since I took the trouble to go out, I thought I should make the most of it, and spent the next two hours walking to and around the park before going home.

the fire alarm in my lab building went off last night, not a minute after i discharged a 3000 volt arc (which sounds something like a WWII battleship's cannon firing).  i smelled smoke and freaked the **** out.  ran out of the basement to a cloudy hall.  turns out one of the grad students just burned the everliving **** out of something in the microwave, but i was kindof afraid the lab was about to explode with me in it for a bit.  my group members' response was to wonder how they would explain to our advisor why i was in the lab alone (they were elsewhere in the building and i left my phone as i ran).

SPARTANS (ancient greek, HALO, or mixed unit)

I guess it all comes down to equipment, if you're going that far... so lets say it's a pseudo-triathlon - run a marathon, swim a reasonably long distance, and then win a knife fight. You can bring your own knife (no more than 20cm blade, will be checked for poison), clothing not to exceed (or be less than... oh, god, my eyes...) reasonably sized shorts, and sandals.

Spartans(greek): bonus for being used to working at this tech level, penalty for being less "futurekind-evolutionized" than the far future types+-
Spartans(halo): penalty for not having their armor, penalty for not having their guns.--
Fremen: Bonus for being badass, bonus for being born knife fighters, penalty for water-freaking-out-ness-ness(isthataword?)++-
Dorsai: Bonus for being badass, bonus for being hyperspecialized soldiers ++
Mobile Infantry: Penalty for not having their jump-jetting minimechs with nuclear RPG launchers, bonus for being trained by that dude Zim to be badass anyway +-

so, halo loses because I tweaked the rules against them (Rules? What rules?) the MI and GreekSpartans wind up taking each other out in the semifinals, leaving the Fremen and Dorsai. Unfortunately, Stilgar slips on the wet ground near the water, giving juuuuuust enough of an opening for Graeme to win the day.

Damn. I should have made it something that didnt' involve swimming. Oh, well. Duncan Idaho will totally take him out in the rematch...

Post by: SpardaSon21 on March 30, 2010, 10:50:20 pm
Yeah, and Heinlein's M.I. are trained to be lethal with anything from their bare hands to loops of wire.  Plus the training is so brutal only about 1-in-10 makes it all the way.  In the book it says 2,009 men were in Rico's training company, and only 187 graduated to be full M.I., with 14 fatalities during training, one executed for high crimes, and the rest dropping out.

Post by: General Battuta on March 30, 2010, 10:52:19 pm
The SPARTAN training (or Spartan training for that matter) is definitely tougher than Heinlein's MI.

Compared to the former two the MI is piss-easy.

One could argue that any training program which is actually lethal to the majority of those who undertake it is fundementally broken.

After all, the problem both forms of Spartan faced in the end was that there weren't enough of them. This cannot really be said of the M.I., though I suspect any program to produce basic infantry that washes out so many is probably also broken.

After having left this thread alone for approximately 150 pages worth of whatever the crap it is that goes on in here, it is time for an update.

College applications have paid off, and the decisions are coming through.  I applied to University of Colorado, Grinnell, Oberlin, Vassar, Williams, Stanford, Harvard, Amherst and Reed. 

So far I have heard from eight schools, and have been accepted to Reed, Amherst, Grinnell, Oberlin, Vassar and CU. I have been rejected from Stanford and Williams.  How this happened I have no clue.  My SAT II's are all 700 or above, and I scored a cumulative 34 on the ACT.  Perhaps it was grades... but whatev.  I don't really care.  I made it into Reed and Amherst, and they were higher up on my list than Stanford and Williams.

All I need now is Harvard's decision, and the process will be complete.  I should hear by Thursday.

Wish me luck!

exam scores are only a VERY small part of what goes into admissions.

one of the professors in my department is all pissed at our senior design group now, because the lab we have to use has been dirty and disordered for the past 5 years due to grad student use.  i'm rather pissed that we are taking the heat for it.  and before anyone suggests it, this is NOT a guy you correct or make anything that could possibly be construed as an excuse to.

I feel your pain.  My research project (nearly a decade ago) was in a dilapidated building that should have been condemned years ago.  We had two xenon-flash pumped nd:YAG lasers, each of which went through two frequency doublers.  The frequency quadrupled laser beam was powerful enough to burn a dime-sized hole in a business card in only a few pulses.  The primary undoubled infrared beam was powerful enough to cause the business card to explode (water in the paper fibres couldn't diffuse out fast enough as the temperature caused its pressure to surge, God that was awesome...).  So, the optics were having to carry so much power through them that even a tiny loss of efficiency on reflective or transmissive surfaces could cause them to overheat enough to crack.  We needed to be in a fricking cleanroom, and what we had was dust-bunny paradise.  We had a HEPA air-filtration unit running full time, and no matter how frequently I changed the filter, there was still dust all over the optic table within a week of cleaning everything.

But obviously I just wasn't taking my cleaning responsibilities seriously.  Bah.  Some professors are just insane.  Hang in there.

My internship was cut short by four months due to issues over Emoxis being too busy to really teach me anything, so in effect, today is the last day of my internship. My school has switched me over to the cohort doing the final-year project, so I now have two more weeks of holidays before I return to school on April 19.

****ing ****. I'm at the wrong department, apparently. The other people get MSDN codes basically by sending email somewhere stating "o hai, I iz studeen' hear". But not us. Oh, nonono. Blasted IT people. Why am I studying information engineering?  :sigh:

Heh, at the college level some of those professors are not bluffing. It's not unusual, at least at my college, for more than half the class to fail a test consistently.

Of course, in that instance the professor usually grades on a curve. In one of my classes I've not scored above a 70 on anything and I have a solid B.

yeh, well, he's not bluffing.  this class is [Nuclear] Reactor Systems.  they don't change it cuz there's just no way to water that down.  this class in a nutshell is learning everything in one semester that actual nuclear industry professionals take a minimum of 2, but more on the order of 3-4 years to learn to run the reactors.

we got pretty much the same treatment last semester, but we knew it was getting curved.  this one, that's not a definite.  last semester, i got a b+ in a class while getting a test average of around 60

So I accidentally put my phone through the washing machine on Tuesday, and I don't think it's going to work properly again. It was already starting to break anyway, not notifying me of calls, giving me white screen of death nonsense, etc.

Seeing as how my mum and brother each go through phones at the rate of one every 12-18 months, I figured it would be a simple thing to just replace it (it's my second phone in six years, and the first one fell apart on its own and wasn't my fault).

Apparently, I have to wait until February 2011 to get a new phone.

Broke ice. Used the subject of hot women at work. A universal medium. Then one of said hot women came out to smoke.  The guys clammed up and made usual eyebrow/jock gestures. Woman came over gave me a hug and nicked the cig from my mouth.
 
I had a beer or two then made my excuses.
 
Now on the train and i'm feeling giddy.
 
Never even found out the reason for beer.

I had to go out to get some supplies and clothing for general use, and I decided to stop by my secondary school for the Hell of it.

It was like smelling ashes, really.

I graduated from secondary school in 2007. In the three years that followed, it turns out that the teachers who taught me in my final year there had mostly transferred out of the school or retired. I used to study about ten subjects, taught by nine teachers in total. Now there are only three of them left, and none of them taught me the more important subjects out of the ten. I felt like a complete stranger to the school where I spent the first half of my teenage years in, and I don't feel any sense of belonging to it any more. :(

I also met up with one of my friends, who was interested in seeing my portfolio. He appeared to be rather impressed with my After Effects work. However, I don't see anything to be proud of. I mean, I just did everything by the book. There's nothing to be proud of. :blah:

I had to go out to get some supplies and clothing for general use, and I decided to stop by my secondary school for the Hell of it.

I was just doing community service at my old elementary school.  I couldn't actually get anything done for the first hour because all the teachers that knew me 8+ years ago wouldn't leave me alone.

now THAT would be a massive nostalga trip.  but i doubt any of my teachers are still there.  word is my elementary school went ghetto.  i did go to the wedding of my first grade teacher some years ago though.  it must have been about 5-7 years after i was in her class.

I made the mistake of staying up too late watching Adult Swim last night.  I went right past Bleach into territory I don't even know how to describe.  The show was called "Fooley Cooley," at least here in the U.S., and I have no idea what happened during the entire half-hour.

I might have to look it up.  Really weird, but at the same time, strangely interesting.

FMA was alright.  It's still pretty early, so nothing major has really happened yet.  Hughes is still up and walking, but I think that'll change in the next couple episodes.  This was the one right after the Fifth Laboratory.

Not sure about new Bleach.  I don't watch it much at any rate, but episodes 161-164 were on last night.
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
Post by: Mongoose on April 11, 2010, 02:28:46 pm
Ah, a common reaction to one's first exposure to FLCL.  The best antidote is prolonged contact.

Actually, Bleach was repeating 160-163 last night, I think.  164-167 air next week, and then the repeats jump all the way back to the beginning of the series.  There hasn't been any official word on when premieres will resume, but I'd expect it'll happen by the fall.  We are getting a new show called Kekkaishi near the end of May, though I don't know much about it.

(Man, I didn't know we had this many Swimmers running around here.)

For English class today I'm going to be teaching my class to sing songs in English. We're starting with Elvis cause his love songs are ridiculously easy to sing, even if your English is bad.

So last week I asked for requests of what they'd like to learn. Cause I have a class of 20 girls I predictably got lots of requests for Westlife and Boyzone. Then one little girl at the back raised a hand and asked if they could learn to sing some Linkin Park. :D

Yesterday I notified those on IRC about my discovery that pressing "n" on the keyboard while in the FS2 mainhall increases the difficulty setting a notch. I've known about it for quite a while, probably since the days of FSO 3.6.9 when I was trying to get the humanheadzinside/vasudanswuvfishes thing working. Unfortunately for me, this means that when I thought I was playing on insane difficulty, I was actually playing on hard or medium. Probably for the best, though, as I'd likely break the joystick on the insane setting.

My epic doom paper is complete. However, I have misplaced the only copy of the ridiculously complicated evaluation form. I cannot recieve credit without that form.

This is less than ideal...my only hope is recreate the form from memory using a pencil.

If you didn't give any variations, then they'd simply stall in gameplay. AI is incapable of human strategy. Where the AI would spend 8000 gold for a raiding party and decide that it's enough, the player would build up a force of 16000 and keep them back at base until a situation calls for an attack. Then our 16k worth of units would crush three or four or more of the AI's 8k raiding squads. And when all's said and done, the player would throw a gigantic unstoppable force at the AI one at a time.

Reminds me a bit of CnC Generals; I would choose an 8-team FFA and park myself in the corner of the map. Then I'd build and strengthen lines of minigun or laser emplacements while fielding an unstoppable bomber force, designed to take out any superweapons before they're effective. The AI would throw itself against my fortress and then give up; I was light on units so I was a lower priority target. Humans would never let me get to that point of absolute control over a map, pending their decimation.

The only variation was that three of the six AI are set to RCA AI. I don't see the difference between the Default AI and this.

If you want a good AI-only game, something like Civilization 4 would be my favored choice. It becomes interesting to, as a player, play Civ4 against thee (cheating) AI. Doubly-so since real strategy and careful balance will make or break your civ... and propell you into the oil age 100+ years before we made it there. Or give you Infantry in the 1600s.

I decided, for reasons that I don't even know, to take a joyride of sorts around the north-eastern part of Singapore. These are the different forms of transport I took throughout the day, and where I went to:

1. Took a bus from the bus-stop outside my house to the nearest train station, somewhere in the east;
2. took a train to the central part of Singapore;
3. switched to another train heading towards the northern part of Singapore;
4. got off the train about halfway up north to explore a shopping centre;
5. switched to another train heading for the north-eastern part of Singapore;
6. switched to another train heading further north-east of Singapore;
7. got off the train at the terminus and switched to a light rail system;
8. got off the light rail system once it came full circle and switched to a bus heading for the extreme east of Singapore;
9. got off the bus halfway through to have dinner at a shopping centre;
10. boarded a train at the train station outside the shopping centre after buying dishwashing liquid for the house;
11. got off the train one train station after the train station nearest to my house; and
12. walked home.

While on the bus between 8 and 9, I passed the housing estate where I used to live, when I was between age 5 to 17, and I've come to the conclusion that, while I can still remember lots of things that happened there within those 12 twelve years, I do not relish or miss them. In the same way that I no longer feel a sense of belonging to my secondary school, I no longer feel a sense of belonging to that place.

I also bumped into my scriptwriting lecturer while I was in the shopping centre halfway up north, and bought a pair of earplugs when I was in the shopping centre at the east.

The time I spent on all of the above was an entire afternoon. Excluding transport fees, I spent about $55.

I not quite sure why, but I've been in a ridiculously good mood for about 16 hours.  For the first eight, I was also really, really, really hyper.  For the four hours of sleep I got, I can't remember.  For the four hours since I got up, I'm still in a ridiculously good mood (which doesn't happen very often when I wake up), and am still fairly hyper. 

I blame the three Mt. Dews and the Dairy Queen parfait I had at the best Bible Study ever and bowling last night.

I've just finished playing the free turn-based strategy game The Battle for Wesnoth, and I will readily admit that, when it comes to horseback riders, I'm rubbish. I lost an Elvish Scout on the very first level of Heir to the Throne, and I lost a Horseman on the next level. If I didn't plan my attack strategy on the fourth level, I would have lost a very valuable Horseman that was dangerously close to levelling up.

On the upside, I managed to accidentally fool the computer on two separate occasions, ending with some very quick victories, i.e. a lot of gold to recruit units with. My character has levelled up to Commander, and so has that very valuable Horseman (into a Knight), as well as a good number of my other units.

The next level is a sort of intermission level where I can attempt to level up several of my weaker units while getting even more gold. Unless if I play it wrong, which I think I might.

I discovered the reason why my IBM's wireless Internet connection was so slow even though it was less than ten metres away from my modem.

Spoiler:
The Linksys USB wireless router attached to it was sandwiched between the back of the CPU and my bedroom wall. Presumably, this was an excellent way to severely compromise the router's reception. All I had to do was unplug it and plug it into a USB port at the front of my CPU.

My connection now reads green across the board. :D

However, I'm going to need to buy a USB hub for this USB port... :mad:

Well, Adobe decided to be a bunch of assholes and take the CS4 trial versions offline before making the CS5 trial versions available, and I have this project due 6pm monday, so my parents were trying to find a place to get the old version (it's really hard to find it)... they thought they'd found something, but the site required a (trivial) registration fee. I was suspicious, and looked up the so-called "third-party" billing service (webpaycom dot com), but all I was able to find was that their domain was only registered two months ago. My parents figured that wasn't enough of a reason to not do it, and went ahead. And guess what happened after they gave the form their credit card info? It said "declined by processing". So they probably have the credit card info, and we haven't even got anything to show for it.

****ing Adobe... I bet if they'd never bought Flash this wouldn't be happening right now.

Well, I went by myself, and spent the next ~2 hours working up the nerve to ask.  That lead to the response indicated (which would probably have been quite amusing if I hadn't been the one asking).  The person I actually did dance with I'm pretty sure was just trying to find a random person when the person she came with didn't want to dance to the song.  But that's just my best guess.

okay, first off: I'm back from the FRC Championships in Atlanta. I had tons of fun, and last night I met a girl that I actually understood, only to find out a minute later she lives several states away, then we got seperated while we were talking because of the huge crowds.  :ick: F*ck my life. Anyways, I'll probably wind up uploading a bunch of the pictures I took, provided they dont show me or members of my team.  :)

In other news, It turns out that the '206 trojans' thing was just the start: turns out it's a particularily nasty strain that multiples without duing otherwise visible damage. My Dad found it, and is slghtly pissed at me, but not as much as I would expect. the anti-virus program has been running for the better art of the day, and has so far quarantined 5,351  copies of this one virus.

Depends how much you talked, I'd say. If it was over 30-45 mins, e.g. A proper conversation was established, then it's fine. If the conversation was less than 10 minutes, depending on the girl, she may be a little miffed. IMO.

I've learned from unofficial channels that my course is on probation due to low demand. It also seems that, instead of us forming separate groups to do a short film that we come up with, we're now going to work as one single group doing a short film with a script the school comes up with. Bad call for some of my classmates, since they've already completed about a quarter of what they originally wanted to do.

i redesigned my lego 6x6 from the ground up. fixed some friction problems in the suspension. because i had to reduce the amount of travel in the suspension i had to improve the ground clearance as well which meant redesigning the steering too (which sucks because all 6 wheels steer and its all controlled by 1 servo). also built in some cable management and made better use of some of the voids in the hull (to mount extra circuitry). the result is ive actually doubled its speed. i also attempted to improve the camera turret, but i think its worse than it was. it refuses to hard center, has little fine control in the center and has a level of mechanical drag which makes the movement kinda sluggish, jumping around and jittering. since im controlling it with head tracking its giving me a sore neck. so im either gonna have to tweak the onboard code or redesign the turret again. a few other quirks with the software is that setting the motor controller to anything less than 40% power makes an annoying humming noise and i think i have to either have a massive 40% deadzone in the throttle control or il have to remap the output. other than that it works pretty good.  i made a few laps around the kitchen and living room, attempting to navigate the messy floor using only the video display. i say i did pretty good.

well i redesigned the turret again, the motion is a lot more linear now. i also found a bug in my code where the motors werent being given 100% power, in fact it was only getting about 40% power. having fixed it my 6x6 now hauls serious ass. i decided not multiplex the turret yaw, in that i now get a full 180 degrees of rotation and needed more sensitivity on that axis, the throttle is now multiplexed with the turret pitch, since neither use their full range (only the upper 2/3s of the throttle are used and the camera pitch only uses about quarter of its range where as steering and turret use the whole range). i also added some offsets to the code so as to allow everything to be calibrated so that turret and steering are at dead zero. the turret also works much better with trackir control than it did. so you can drive through the house at full throttle and have enough situational awareness to avoid hitting stuff. tomorrow il see about recording some video, though all i have to work with is two ****ty webcams and no way to capture the analog feed im using for the camera (right now its all displayed to a 3.5" screen with a composite line). maybe i can find some cheap video capture device off the net. another good point is that it now has 5v and 9v bus lines to power the servo controller and the camera, respectively, though the nxt is still using its 6 aa nimhs. could probibly run it off the same bus as the camera, provided i make some fake batteries.

Not to mention the fact that DumpRep on Windows XP also had exactly the same problem as far as creating a resource-consuming monster was concerned. Not sure about Windows 7 though, either the system works better, doesn't exist, or I haven't had a crash serious enough to require it yet :)
I think that in NT6, dumprep will not prevent the application from being launched a second time. So if Firefox crashes for whatever reason, it'll continue ticking while your new session is up.

At least that's all your cat brings in. Mine managed to catch a (full-grown) owl once. I think he'd been holding a grudge since his fight with an owl several years back broke his leg. (Or at least, that's what we assume happened: he came home one day after vanishing for three days with a huge gash in his belly and a broken hind leg. We guess an owl grabbed him and dropped him.)

I beg your pardon?  I'm not sure whether I should take offense at that or not.  I like to think I'm hardly an idiot, and I know I'm not inclined to burning anything.  The latter is quite impossible to fall into, seeing as there are none that I know of for several hundred miles, and it's questionable both whether it is possible to fall in, and whether that would actually do anything.

On a side note.  I feel no shame.  At all.

Not knowing where the neutron generators are only increases the chances that you will fall into one.

I'm writing from PC User's Linux distribution, running from my laptop's DVD drive.

Why?

I picked up my new computer today. After getting everything connected, I popped in the Windows 7 DVD I made from MSDNAA's free download...and it didn't work. So I went back onto my laptop, since PC User has a nifty program that can make a USB flash drive into a Windows 7 bootable USB installer. So I left it to make it while I had dinner. When I came back it was turned off, and then I couldn't boot it. I believe the hard drive has stuffed up again. Thankfully, though, I can still access the hard drive with this Linux DVD, so I can still salvage all of my files. But really, that was just bad luck for me today.

EDIT: So if I went to the shops tomorrow and bought Windows 7, would I be able to use it to install onto a blank hard drive? And what about getting a 64-bit version (not entirely necessary, I think, but I would definitely prefer it)?

EDIT 2: Looks like my hard drive wasn't stuffed after all - I was able to get into Vista again on my laptop.

ive only had motion sickness once, while playing doom on my ipod on the bus. its like an every time thing, its also the only way i get motion sickness in a vehicle. i played freespace on a plane once and farcry 2 on a boat, and neither have the same effect for some reason, i think the small screen of the ipod was a major factor. your eyes need to experience the same thing as your equilibrium. but i dont know how sleep can **** that up, i grew up sleeping on the bus with no ill effect.

I remember falling asleep on a public bus several years ago. I napped for about an hour before I woke up feeling very sick, but not sick enough to throw up.

11 years ago, I fell asleep on a coach that was driving through the night. I had no motion sickness whatsoever.

I just came back from changing my mobile phone plan. Deciding that our archaic plan is too troublesome to renew despite being very cheap, my mum and I switched providers from M1 to SingTel. Both our plans are signed under her name to ... exploit the discount she gets for being under the employ of SingTel. In other words, the both of us got pretty nice replacement phones for free. Whether they work just as well as the ones were using now, however, is anyone's guess.

Our mobile phone plan with M1 ends on 3 May. SingTel has agreed to let us retain our old handphone numbers, so they'll make the provider switch on 5 May.

Vue's always a wee bit quirky, it's great for rendering, but does have a reputation for being temperamental, especially when you start pushing the engine with regards to volumetrics and refraction, turning on physically accurate caustics almost inevtiably causes a crash on mine (not that this is a problem, since turning it on also increases the rendering time by a factor of about 4). It is, however, incredible for creating skyboxes using the sphere-mapped panoramic mode.

Edit: Also, I'm not 100% sold on it's OpenGL preview mode, that seems to cause problems as well :/

Keep you appraised of deadlines. My professors do similar things (rough drafts way the hell too early) to prevent us from getting caught off-guard with "OMG! The paper's due tomorrow and I haven't started! AAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Heh, the Tigers aren't as bad as the Eagles (coming from a WCE supporter). :P
The Tigers had the first half of their game vs. Fremantle though, it was the second half that destroyed them. /AFL-ism

i'm basing that on a couple of years ago, since that was the last time i really kept up with AFL.  the website that i used to use to stream games was taken down :(  funny, that year i'm thinking of, i think west coast was top of the league with port power right in behind.  my team is western though.  first match i ever saw was an epic one between them and geelong in the 2008-2009 season.  western won by a point, it was something like 128 to 129, and brad johnson kicked something like eight goals.

but these days, i just get to see the grand final at our party downtown. :(  maybe the occasional match at one of our player's house.
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
Post by: Dilmah G on April 26, 2010, 03:18:55 am
Oh yeah, WCE, Swans, and Port were all pretty damn good a few years ago, in the last two years the Eagles have been going downhill though. They peaked last time they won the premiership and its got to a point where the last game of football they played was absolutely horrible, something even the commentator said.

Hrm, I don't remember that game actually. But the grand final in '06 was absolutely epic, with the Eagles winning by one point as well. Funnily enough, Geelong have become a stellar team since.

Last year's grand final was a good game anyway.  :)
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
Post by: Klaustrophobia on April 26, 2010, 03:28:13 am
The Hawthorne-Geelong grand final was pretty epic, but that was mostly because of the goings-ons at the bar we were watching it at :D.  one of our older australians, a die-hard hawthorne supporter, was absolutely pissed, and at the end of the game tried to tackle some guy in a geelong jumper who was there that we didn't even know, right in the middle of the bar.  the pool my table had going, that i won and would have shared with another guy, had to be withdrawn to pay the tab :(

on a different note, that writeup is now ****ing DONE!  and i did a rather nice job of spinning our rather dismal failures into successes i do believe :)

I was packing my stuff and then had to sit directly behind the pilot in a bus-style jet (there was no partition separating the cockpit from the rest of the cabin). It was weird.

final senior design presentation = epicer win

we were the only group to get a "great presentation guys!" from the industrial advisory comittee, and also the only group that didn't get completely assraped by questions, or in some cases, just flat out told, "no, that's wrong" or "your design sucks".  the first group even had a guy pass out.  one of the professors i was talking with afterword noted that it saved them even further embarrassment.  it was pretty brutal.

On a less fun note, it appears that my male best friend is rather smitten with my female best friend.  She isn't.  This is going to be difficult, especially since he is rather prone to depression.

"BUT WAIT!" one brilliant college guy said.

That was a nice weekend. Though it began rather... not that well.

I was in a train on my way to my friends place, when a way over middle aged couple came to the car and sat next to me.
Both were well drunk allready (it was about 5PM), which was nothing that unusual.
But then things turned a bit awkward when the "gent" began making advances to me.
He Rubbed my leg and asked if he could suck me out. I remained silent, since it usually works, and it did... more or less (if you talk back then they might get even more exited "hey that guy responds").
He still tried to ask me to come for a pizza with them or go and have a drink or two.
The train was a bit full so I didn't really have anywhere else to go, so I just remained silent. Perhaps I had a rather displeased look on my face too since they began questioning eachother whether I even understood what they were saying or if I were a violent criminal or something like that... half jokingly I think.

Luckily my stop came (not soon enough though) and my silent treatment paid off when I turned back on my way out and said politely "Have a nice evening!" (in Finnish of course) to them, which made the "lady's" jaw drop rather wide.


Only REAL downside was that I had my newest Naruto comicbook with me to read on the train, and apparently I hadn't pushed it deep enough into my pocket since I noticed later that I had dropped it somewhere. So I had to buy a new one. Bugger.


Oh the joys of Vappu.

Ok. so our engineering project teams are submitting exam questions on various subjects. A portion of these will be used on the final. Through the process of making the questions I've learned a few neat tricks about test questions and how to make sure the person knows the answer.

I've also learned, upon looking at the submitted questions, that some people reeeeally shouldn't be making exam questions.

For example- we covered a bit of programming in this class, since it's for CS/EE majors. It wasn't really enough to be interesting- besides a tiny bit of MATLAB and a C++ OpenGL project with most of the code already written for us, we used this horrible, horrible language called Jython. Python implemented in Java. I could go on a huge rant about how it sucks huge balls, but that isn't the point here.

In the Jython project, we covered basic stuff about loading and editing images by looping through all the pixels, doing basic math operations. At no point were we ever introduced to working with text, and we certainly didn't cover scan codes. Imagine my surprise when the document for questions about Jython and image editing contained this question:

X.  ASCII defines the capital letter 'B' as:
A) 46
B) 66
C) 28
D) 2
E) 12

OK, wtf. Who in their right mind would submit a question that wasn't covered in class, and has absolutely nothing to do with the source material?! In addition, I'm probably one of the 1% of ppl in that class who's nerdy enough to memorize scan codes and can deduce that it's probably B, or maybe A. (It's B, to save the nerds amobg you the trouble of looking it up.)

Here's a little gem from our OpenGL segment:

X.  OpenGL, standing for Open Graphics Library), is an interactive rendering 
standard designed for ease of use and portability across a wide range of 
systems. The interface consists of over 250 different _________ that can be 
used to draw complex three dimensional scenes from simple primitives. 
a. function calls 
b. languages 
c. commands 
d. libraries 
e. codes 

OK, wait wtf? First, we have the close parenthesis without a beginning one- being a CS nerd that makes me cringe. Second, "OGL has >250 what" is completely useless errata that I would never bother remembering! Also, the horrible wording of the answers exacerbates the problem; the correct answer (copied word-for-word from Wikipedia, I might add) is 'function calls'. Function calls are not function definitions. A function call is a reference to a function within a program. I actually thought the answer was "commands" and that they got the term wrong.

I'll top this off with a classic mistake that I really didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to make...

X.  Considering real world applications, what can OpenGL be used for? 
  a.  All of the above 
  b.   Video game graphics 
  c.   Flight simulations 
  d.   2D graphics rendering 
  e.   3D graphics rendering 

YOU. DO. NOT. PUT. ALL. OF. THE. ABOVE. AT. THE. TOP. OF. A. QUESTION. Especially if it's the right answer.

/me hits that question's author over the head repeatedly with a header file

Stupid exam questions that make no sense
X. Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
A) A leveraged firm is more risky than a firm that is not leveraged.
B) A leveraged firm is less risky than a firm that is not leveraged.
C) A firm that uses debt magnifies the return to its shareholders.
D) All of the above statements are correct.

Figure that one out. :P Which is NOT correct?
Spoiler:
Well, a leveraged firm IS more risky. And yes, a firm that (correctly) uses debt magnifies the return to its shareholders; they're not diluting their stock and to finance through debt is typically less expensive to the firm following the IPO. So no, a leveraged firm is NOT less risky than a firm that is not leveraged. However, answer D trumps them all; All of the above statements are NOT correct; that's right! Or, Not all of the above statements are correct!

Got that question overturned. :) On that particular test (taken a month ago or so) I finished with a 97 after curve.

well it's not quite that close.  but speaking of, the best one i've seen like that was at the beach about 5 years back.  i was with my family out on a sandbar a good way out from shore when a storm just came out of nowhere and started raging.  we had to swim a good distance back across a deep channel because the tide rose while we were out, while the biggest damn bolts of lightning i've ever seen in person were striking the water at what seemed like 200-300 meters away. (i'm sure it was really more than that though).  me and my sister were hauling ass back to shore, while my dad was taking a leisurely backstroke swim like it was a calm sunny day, with sandals on  :lol:.  my mom thought he was gonna drown so she went back for him.  when we finally got back to our condo the lightning had picked up, and there were just insane bolts that would hang around for a couple seconds.  my mom tried to take pictures from the balcony, but every time they hit she would freak out instead  :lol:

Post by: Scotty on May 07, 2010, 03:27:27 pm
Was playing a game of BattleTech last night until about midnight.  Was going brilliantly.  I'd gotten an assist kill on a Mongoose, had knocked out the pilot of a Black Knight (would have qualified as an assist when it went down), and had helped down a Mercury, but gotten no kill for it.  I had taken a grand total of 21 damage, so I was feeling pretty bold.

A Highlander appeard from behind a building six hexes away.  I actually challenged this one to single combat, since I figured I could take him.  I unloaded with two LB5-Xs (cluster) and three SRM4s at 4s and 6s to hit.  I hit with everything, and all but two LBX pellets actually struck the 'Mech.  I got three TACs, two on both of his gauss rifle ammo bins, and one on a medium laser.  I took 15 from the gauss rifle, another 15 from medium lasers, and ~15 from various other targets.  I easily cleared the PSR.

Summary at this point:  the enemy Highlander is down it's biggest gun, and half of its support batteries.  It's LRM20 is useless at this range with his skill.  I have no armor on my Right Leg.  Everything else is peachy.

The next turn, he tries a DFA, since that would do more damage by itself than anything he had a realistic chance of hitting with.  I opened fire with all weapons at 3s and 4s.  I miss with an LB5-X and an SRM4.  Every munition from all the weapons that hit also hit him.  He takes another ~21 damage, and one more TAC on another medium laser.  He's DFA'ing, so he can't fire weapons.  An enemy Partisan tank hits me with ONE AC2 ROUND.  TACs my ammo bins using AP ammunition (which hadn't even been prototyped at our point in-game :mad: ).  I go boom, the Highlander falls on its ass, knocks out the pilot.  One of my buddies headcaps it from there.

Summary at the end:  I got one assist, on the Mongoose.  I got shot down before the Black Knight was destroyed, so I get nil from that.  My 'Mech went up in an ammo explosion, so I can't even salvage it.  I didn't get the assist on the Highlander either, since I got shot down.  The Partisan tank that shot me down got away without even any return fire.  To top it off, I don't even have first pick of salvaged enemy 'Mechs, so I'm probably not going to get the Highlander I damn well wanted either. 

Damn dice rolls.

That is some piss-poor luck Scotty, getting killed by a single AC/2 shot.

For those not in the know, an AC/2 is basically a spitwad as far as anti-'Mech weapons are concerned.  The only worse stuff I can think of off the top of my head are Machine Guns and maybe a Small Pulse Laser.  Even the anti-aircraft Rifleman mounts AC/5's.

I had to switch my desktop from dual-head to single-head. :( Even though I have a 1080P monitor, it feels tiny without the old 1680x1050 screen.

I had to reset my dorm to the original layout, which lost me the matching-height drawers that held roughly half of my equipment. Technically, this single desk is wide enough to hold dual monitors, but it's not wide enough with my speakers. And in addition, I also had to disconnect my preamp&poweramp, switching it with a crappy stereo receiver. I'm moving out in about two weeks, so I'll probably just suck it up and deal with it... but it's still annoying.

Finally had to send in that God-Damned MATLAB GUI project/final.

That was supposed to be an easy project, and I feel like a complete moron/fool as I couldn't get some of the coding to go through. It turns out that apart form some seemingly non-sensical errors regarding internal "handles," the last thing to throw me on my face was a problem I just didn't have the time to research and sufficiently solve: how to deal with matrix values with symbolic math functions. That said, only one of the four graphing programs worked, though three out of four were coded, and the program was fully documented. I should pass the class, but I'm really pissed. All that time for what?

working in parent's accounting office while job hunting, re-organizing files, removing old ones for other storage.  I open two drawers on cabinet at once (shouldn't be possible, for a reason), and the whole thing tries to fall over on me (150-300lbs, enough tocrush any part of me that could be underneath, such as my arms, legs, I reckon).
somehow I save it and myself though.

And they say accounting is boring work.

reminds me of the time one of my high school teachers "rescued" a kitten from underneath our "mobile classroom" (trailer).  she put it in a newspaper-lined crate in the corner of the room, where it made the most godawful racket for half the class.  it was cold as **** in there, and some kids (one in particular) were throwing wads of paper in it's general direction.  it went silent by the end of class.  we thought it died :(


on a different note, i've got the Cookout ****s rather bad right now.  and we're out of toilet paper in the apartment, so i have to hoof it down the hall to the lobby every time they hit :(

Got done working on a ludicrously high-poly tyre for the Lampyridae - one of the mainwheels - only to have AC3D mysteriously "vanish" the submodel of the the tyre itself! I raged quitely for a few moments before finishing a great chunk of the hub geometry - part of the mesh which, thank God, didn't disappear.

It's a setback, but nothing non-replaceable. Still, after all that analysis to get the shape to closely match the mainwheels of the F-16 (the 'Lamp has tyre dimensions based off that of the F-16's), I have to do all the work over... However, once it's good, all I need to do is revolve and mirror it, so I won't complain too much.

Wow, that sucks.  We had ~120 at the graduation party the school threw.  Rainy, but not horrible.  Speaking of which, I just got back from that.  Twelve straight hours of parties is tiring, especially when bowling, swimming, and the awesomeness that is bungie running is involved.

Most of my classmates heard my middle name for the first time during graduation.  Got many compliments on it being an awesome middle name later, which was unexpected, but cool.  Unless you use it very often, it's nearly inconsequential, it seems sometimes.

I'm supposed to meet my lecturer in five hours so that he can transfer some footage I shot last Friday from an SxS memory card to a more accessible storage device.

It is now approaching 4 am, and I need to be in school by 8 am to tell the guys in charge of the memory card to hold on for an extra hour because I told them I would return it, as well as one of their keys, by 8 am. I need one and a half hours to get to school, and fifty minutes to get dressed. In other words, I need to get up at 5.30 am.

I think I'll just stay awake. If I go to sleep now, I won't be able to drag myself out of bed in one and a half hours' time. I'll stay up until 5.30 am, go to school, get my footage transferred out, return the memory card and keys, eat lunch, then go back home and fall into a coma.

It's not impossible; playing ST:R made me do this once. I can surely do this again.

You know, I tried to start watching the new series, but every time I see the new show, the mental note that "this is a retcon series..." just really turns me off and I'll not suffer to watch it. I'll watch the original two seasons of FMA any day, but I just can't seem to appreciate this one.

Which brings me to the question... What's the point of the new show anyway? Why cover the older story again, which from what I've seen of the new one, was better anyway?

It's not a retcon.  The first FMA didn't follow the manga after the first couple seasons, and this one does.  Consider them completely independent of one another.  The point of the new show is to actually follow the manga, and it does a superb job of that.  I immensely prefer Brotherhood, both for the better animation quality and the story.

You're correct, my mistake.  After the first season then.  Point is, the first anime diverged from the manga at some point.  This one does not.

Right above the linked part is the actual plot.  The only important part of that I can think of they forget is
Spoiler:
Ling, May Chang, and the rest of the Xingese characters.  Ling eventually goes on to become Greed.  My favorite character :D.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullmetal_Alchemist#Differences_in_the_first_anime_adaptation

Minor change:  Homunculi have different names.  King Bradley is Wrath.  The Wrath you know doesn't exist, nor does the Sloth you knew.  Greed is probably different at the beginning, and there's no way in hell he's the same greed you would know toward the end..  Envy, Lust, and Gluttony are the same.  
Spoiler:
Selim is Pride.
  Additionally, the way Homunculi are killed is different.

I enjoy it a whole lot more than the first anime, but to each their own.

I have one 1000-1200 word essay due next Thursday, and I've not started working on it yet. I haven't even found a subject to write about yet (theme: world issues). :D

That's not the only assignment I have to work on. There's one matte painting project due next week, which I've barely started on, and a film project due two weeks from now, which I've already done the filming for. There's also this ongoing assignment requiring me to write at least ten weekly blog posts on one of my subjects, and a presentation two weeks from now that I've not prepared for yet.

Honestly, if I survive the next fortnight and make it to my two-week break in mid-June, I'll fill up FSWiki with the rest of the FS2 mediavps ship images, Vishnan articles and Vishnan ship images.

Well, it's an 84, and half the speakers in the back don't actually work anymore...I just bought some new speakers through Best Buy and, combined with the sub and amp, are going to fit in nicely.

I got kinda/sorta dragged into going to a concert tomorrow.  Seeing I Fight Dragons, Cobra Starship, 3Oh!3 and several others.  I love I Fight Dragons.  They do songs based on old video games. :D

This is right after the StarCraft tournament tomorrow afternoon.

Haven't had the chance to actually get down and dirty with them yet, but my (albeit somewhat limited) knowledge of automotive electrical systems is leading me to guess the speakers just stopped working.  Not sure why though.

Eh you've already replaced them so there's not much to do now. A cheap set will be loud and that's about it. Other than the fact that I don't have a car, I've never really been impressed by people who go to extreme lengths to make their car audio systems as loud as possible. I much prefer to spend my money on a good home hifi and a car then a loud car and a boombox.

I'm screwed. I'm also failing Earth Science at the moment since I haven't done any labs this quarter. I'm 40 mins short of 1200, which means I'm not eligible for regents. I can still take the local final and pass the class so I don't have to retake it, but it won't count for my diploma.

EDIT: Now I'm pissed because I just found out while doing my ES abstract that these guys are dying out.

I lost the key to my truck at Wal-Mart at midnight so I had to take a cab back home.  The next day I had to drive the limo everywhere, including to the dealership to get a new key cut.  On the way back one of my back tires asploded, forcing me to wait for an hour for a tow.  When I got to the shop, I checked the other tires and it looked like they were on the verge of asplosion as well.  So I got them all changed.

130 for the tow.  480 for all new tires.

But then I went to Olive Garden and had some of the best wine ever.

Just got back from a party, and ****, do I feel like ****. Two of my mates were absolutely ****ed up after drinking around about 1.33 litres of cask wine each (one 4L bag to three of them), so most of my night was spent tending to the two, making sure they weren't choking on their own vomit, conscious at least half the time and weren't looking like a general ****fight. Well, until an ambulance covered one of them and the other was taken home.

Looking up some HD5870 versus GTX480 reviews and stumped once more.

Would tessellation apply to an old rig making do on XP and DX9?

If not then the 5870 might be better and cheaper aside from drivers and maybe OpenGL... I still think nV winds hands down in general on those two. But damn the price, the power consumption and heat of the 480...

Or it's another long wait to the next cycle, and the hard disks are losing data day by day... :sigh:

mass and energy can be exchanged, teh famous E=mc^2 equation

but i assume they were using "mass" as meaning "an amount of" (massive buildup of energy, etc) rather than literally implying energy has mass.

It costs 32% more, draws 32% more, and doesn't perform 32% better. Top card though it may be, the 5870's not far behind.

In other news, I interviewed for a spot as an RA.
Those two statements do not belong in the same post.

On the Voyager topic, I remember watching some of the early episodes. I actually had to get a physics book and detox after the "photonic matter" episode.

Currently considering getting a new HDD.

Double Post.

Just beat Metroid Prime again.  Total Completion:  88%.  I only had 205 missiles by the end, but I did have all the energy tanks.  Was missing one research entry, one Choze Lore entry, and I think five creature entries.  I think I did alright.

Now moving on to Metroid Prime 2 in an attempt to finally beat it.

Actually.... it might have been.  Ugh.

I KNOW that I missed:
Aqua Drone
Flaaghra Tentacle
Whatever that War Wasp Machine was.  I forgot to scan the actual machine.

I'm pretty sure I missed Alpha Pirate (That's a different one from Elite Pirate, right?)

I also must have missed a whole bunch of missile upgrades.  How many missiles can you end with, anyway?

You do too learn from victory.  You just learn more from defeat, because you have to try a few different ways first.  You learn which ones don't work.

I was bored so I DL'd the demo for Alien Dominion: The Acronian Encounter. Then I played it for the limited allowed time of 30 mins. Overall I think I like it, although I was expecting something less "game on rails"-oriented. Good mindless fun for while it lasted.

Not sleeping enough is always cool. Once, I stayed up all night writing the thesis. When I was finished at 10AM, I went to doze off for a moment on the couch. At one point, I thought I was a towel hanging from a flagpole.

Yeah, I get that feeling myself. When I was taking public transport to school this morning, I felt like a towel attached to the handlebars with a wooden peg. I just kept dozing off. While standing.

And when I finally got a seat, I dozed off so heavily, I slanted sideways onto the lady sitting to my left. :ick:

finally got marks from last term
failed zz5 calculus, failed materials science.
did okay-ish in intro to programming (***** test with rather confusingly-worded questions most of the time, the actual stuff was rather easy) did better than last term on P eng. though, proud of that, I must say.  and I didn't get kicked out of eng program, Imma just gonna need another year, I think i can deal with that.
also, busted up 2 toes, losing 1/2 the nail on one.
and have been sorting old client files into a crawlspace (home office working for accounting folks) and the space is about 3ft. high, meaning its all commando-esque squirm along the 20ft to the spot for storing the boxes.
but I'm almost done that, just need to put in about 7 more.

Back from Fanime! :cool:

Fun was had. They were showing lots of stuff, the highlight of which was Evangelion 2.22, which only came out in Japan last week. Even took a trip up to San Francisco for a few hours to see The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, which was playing up there but not, oddly, at the convention itself.

I also beat Mushihimesama and placed the top Original difficulty score in the game room, which is the first time I've placed a top score on any arcade machine, let alone a CAVE game, so that was awesome.

Also made many great deals on purchases. I've got anime to last me quite a while and a new Tachikoma model to guard my computer. :D

I went to Pixar's twentieth anniversary exhibition at the Singapore Science Centre today and saw lots of pretty neat stuff, including a Toy Story zoetrope, a plaster model of WALL-E, various clay figures of characters from Ratatouille, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, etc., a storyboard of a storyboard, Pixar's production pipeline, and a video showing the Axiom's gradient and normal maps. I also saw Toy Story 2 in 3D. It wasn't as impressive as Avatar in 3D, though.

This was originally supposed to be a class excursion only (15 students and my lecturer), but the director of my school, as well as my course manager, got wind of what my lecturer was doing, and ended up roping in my entire diploma course (75 students, my lecturer, the director herself and four other lecturers who were free). I bet my lecturer feels the same way as Material Defender 1032 in Descent 1 now.

we need a back line really.  we've had more than one match where the forard line never even saw the footy :P  i'm a rather twiggly guy at 6'2" 165 lbs, but i always seem to get put on the half back line.  i'm definitely more useful up top.  we had an established ruckman before i joined, so i've never really tried that out.  new coach this year, maybe i'll get some better spots.  i can kick goals pretty damn well, i've hit some from about 50-55 in our intra-club matches.

I've imported my MIDI-to-MP3 Descent music to iTunes. While looking for the individual track names via Google, I came across a file storage system that not only contained the Gravis Ultrasound version of all twenty-seven Descent MIDIs, but also the entire Duke Nukem II game music ripped in CD quality (44 100 kHz), as well as the Doom soundtrack from a console called 3DO.

And then, while finding the cover art for the Mac version of Descent, I came across www.descent4.org, which contains an absurdly huge amount of information pertaining to Descent 3. I can only assume that this website, powered by Google, was set up by one of the developers of the game, or maybe even Matt Toschlog himself. The information on Descent 3 there makes the information on Wikipedia look like a summary.

EDIT: Looks like my thread in particular got to around 4903 retained posts; 47.08% of the total WHIYL posts and thus the highest-posted version. I feel epic.

The driver of the bus I was on from school to the nearest train station was a tad impatient. He sounded the horn for at least a full minute at a van belonging to a mailbox collector and a taxi. Both vehicles were parked in the bus lane, but weren't going to stay there for long; the mailman was getting the mail from the mailbox about thirty metres away, and the taxi was letting a passenger down. In addition, there were two other normal lanes beside the bus lane, which were empty at that point in time. The bus driver could have driven around them; he chose not to, and as a result wasted five minutes of everybody sitting on the bus.

My brothers misses has been in "resting labour" for three weeks. Her waters broke this morning. My second nephew (third child the oldest of my younger brothers) was born at either 17:25 or 17:35. Couldn't tell which as the pub i'm in (The Castle at Farringdon) is playing LOUD MUSIC. I shall use this knowledge to pull women and further my own attempts to create enough kids to make a mixed football team.
 
ROCK ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

in some rooms they don't.  it's a votekicking system.  the immaturity level is so high in this game a votekick can be successful if someone screams "THAT NOOB IS HAXING!!!!1".  the game is Combat Arms if anyone knows it.  Players can buy an "elite moderator" item that gives them kicking power, and i don't think i have to describe what goes on in there.  (this is a "free" game by the way)

And the Isner-Mahut match was just called for darkness...which means it'll be extending into a third day now. :lol: The fifth set stopped at an absolutely mind-boggling 59 games apiece.  It's already shattered every single record for duration in an individual tennis match, not to mention that both players have topped the previous match record for aces.  Seriously, no matter if you care about tennis or not, find a way to watch the end of this tomorrow.  You'll never see anything like it again.

i got back from the woods. gave my new fishing pole a go at the local creek, despite fish jumping out of the water and generally waiting to be caught we didnt catch anything because you couldnt see through the bugs (most of which bite). so we spent the rest of the day driving the quads on the roads. next day we made a huge score when i pulled up the crab pots. got several dungees, they were delicious. then there was the time we were driving in the trucks and my brother in law's tire exploded, and we spent the rest of the day fixing it. also we saw some moose. the canadians are invading.

i've missed quite a bit of SG-1 also.  seen all of atlantis though.  pretty good, but it started suffering from casting problems toward the later seasons.  they had to throw in some dirty fixes to get around some missing actors.

That's impressive, for a while there when I was on site for a client near South Station I had to deal with that a lot.   The funny part is I think they were all going to the same place for their story since they all apparently "took a trip up here from New York for a job that fell through and now they had to get back else they'd get in trouble with their parole officer unless you gave them money for a train ticket." 

Eventually I learned to cock my head quizzically and demand "Spreken zie deutsch?"

The much more clever hustle was to actually dress up well to do and act like visiting business person that had accidentally left their wallet/id/money in a cab a needed to borrow some money while they got their situation back in order.

i did recently enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering all the crabs i caught a few days ago. since you only eat their legs theres no point to bring the rest of em to shore. so you get em from behind, get your fingers in behind the claws get yer boot on the top half of their shell and pull. then you rip off their legs off and throw em in a bucket.  they are alive when you do this and i think it gave me a woody.

I stood on a street corner asking people for money and they gave me $500!

Damn I'm good.

That's impressive, for a while there when I was on site for a client near South Station I had to deal with that a lot.   The funny part is I think they were all going to the same place for their story since they all apparently "took a trip up here from New York for a job that fell through and now they had to get back else they'd get in trouble with their parole officer unless you gave them money for a train ticket." 

Eventually I learned to cock my head quizzically and demand "Spreken zie deutsch?"

The much more clever hustle was to actually dress up well to do and act like visiting business person that had accidentally left their wallet/id/money in a cab a needed to borrow some money while they got their situation back in order.

To clarify, it wasn't for myself. I ARE TEH CANVASSER LORD

Today I collected $350. If I hypothetically continued to make money at this rate, given this office's percent commission, I would take home about $34,000 a year.

Chocolate is kinky. No, that's not an innuendo. 43% of the girls in my school said they'd rather have chocolate for life then kiss a guy at that moment. Given the context, I'd say it's a pretty sound conclusion that chocolate is kinky.

The cat's making that noise female cats make when they're in heat. Except it's a male cat.

Also, I'm back in Virginia after a week in Maine (and a day riding in the car with my parents, both ways).

just watched Last Comic Standing.  there was one who was without a shadow of a doubt the funniest, and he didn't go through, but some really annoying chick who told all the same jokes female comics have been doing for decades did.  only one of the 3 judges is remotely qualified to be judging as far as i can tell.

I opened up my Homeworld 2 case (the cardboard box) and at first he tried to sit on it, I moved him and then a few seconds later the little ****er starts trying to fit his entire body into this ****ing video game box. Keep in mind this is a 6 year old, 25-30 pound cat. The cat is also over one foot tall.

Thinking about it, that's possible, that Crown was done by my old Dentist, who was crap, my new Dentist removed the nerve before putting the other Crown on, the root canal wasn't fun, mind.

You need much more than that to have permanent hearing damage. People are scared of that risk at the beginning, I know, but a few days of practice with guns leads them to realize that music is much more dangerous. Using guns for decades does not damage hearing abilities while listening to music in an exaggerate way (iPod, MP3, you name them) does.

You need to wear ear protection at all times when using firearms or risk hearing damage. Use proper range safety procedures, everybody.

I can't actually think of a respectable range that'll even let you on their grounds, let alone shoot, without some sort of ear protection.

Meh. My father has been using guns for what, almost 50 years and he's never used ear protections of any sort. Since the term "guns" is a bit generic it may be the case of specifying which guns can cause damage and which can't; IMHO machineguns may be dangerous if used continuously but rifles and handguns aren't comparable. At all.

He wears ear protection at the airport because planes do cause permanent hearing damage, but other than that he doesn't do anything and still has normal hearing abilities. Disco lovers can't claim the same, though.

SCIENCE

A rock concert or a jet engine (which your father wears ear protection against) is about 120 dB.

A gunshot from an average rifle is 140-170 dB. It's not sustained, thank god (given that decibels are a logarithmic scale), but over time it will add up.

Wear that ear protection.

I sense an exaggerated perception of the problem...

Also, the main problem with jet engines is that they last quite some time.

Avatar/Last Airbender was definitely horrible... I wanted to like that movie so much because I'm a big fan of the cartoon series... but it just doesn't have anything that's really good about it.

I hate my mom so much. Today, I had this little nerf gun barrel thing and I was looking through it at my little brother to mess around with him and he hits it into my eye, so I barely hit him on the hand with it. He starts crying and ManBearPig (my mother) starts screaming profanity and the likes at me for doing so, makes me go upstairs and then comes up to my room, hits a hole in my door with a baseball bat, comes into my room, starts screaming and cussing etc at me in my face and I try telling her my side of the story and she hits the bat against my chair as hard as she could, leaves and slams the door behind her. I don't know what to do about this anymore, I have no where to go. I feel like murdering her because at least I'd be away from her.

I heard her talking downstairs saying that 'we try to make her life miserable because we fight' to my little brother, he didn't get so much as a raise of voice. At least she doesn't seem to be doing the usual coming back up to my room every five minutes for about half an hour to continue screaming at me. No wonder her first and only husband tried to kill her.

Yes. Social services.

Or at least, if you can't, let one of us know where you are so we can get a hold of the nearest office.
Seriously.  You need to get yourself and your brother out of this situation.
Side-note with this; I've had personal experiences with state-run social services. I'm not saying they're perfect, but they truly do aim to help the people involved. Usually, that means separating parents from their children. There are a large host of reasons this occurs but the most important is that it protects the children from abusive or neglectful parents and also aims to protect the children from themselves.

I must radiate some aura of uneasiness or something in person.  People I'm talking to generally don't say exceptionally much, and the conversation goes as normal.

Then, when I get into a conversation on an IM service, of any kind, my conversational partner will cover all ends of the conversational spectrum.  I probably wouldn't even have noticed, except that people I talk to in person fairly regularly that don't say much suddenly become this gushing fountain of conversation on every subject under the sun.

This also has the possibly-related side effect of sucking me into some relationship issues conversation about every week and a half, despite my having never had a single bit of experience in the field.  That puzzles me even more when I realize that most of those conversations are from a group of people that I'm lucky to get a word from in face to face talk.

For example, I just finished a conversation with a person I've known for about four weeks.  We were in the same group for enrollment/orientation weekend for K-State.  I didn't hear from her again for three and a half weeks.   Now, two days after I hear from her again, she's talking to me about a boyfriend I didn't even know she had and how she doesn't think she can deal with a long distance relationship, something I'm fairly certain would never have come up in face to face conversation.

I wonder if there is a link between perceived privacy of a conversation, regardless of actual privacy, and willingness to communicate. :blah:

There's definitely a link. People'll say a lot more to words on a screen than to other people. Not sure why they don't say much in person though- maybe they're just the kind of people who prefer talking in a text-based medium?

I hate my mom so much. Today, I had this little nerf gun barrel thing and I was looking through it at my little brother to mess around with him and he hits it into my eye, so I barely hit him on the hand with it. He starts crying and ManBearPig (my mother) starts screaming profanity and the likes at me for doing so, makes me go upstairs and then comes up to my room, hits a hole in my door with a baseball bat, comes into my room, starts screaming and cussing etc at me in my face and I try telling her my side of the story and she hits the bat against my chair as hard as she could, leaves and slams the door behind her. I don't know what to do about this anymore, I have no where to go. I feel like murdering her because at least I'd be away from her.

I heard her talking downstairs saying that 'we try to make her life miserable because we fight' to my little brother, he didn't get so much as a raise of voice. At least she doesn't seem to be doing the usual coming back up to my room every five minutes for about half an hour to continue screaming at me. No wonder her first and only husband tried to kill her.

get me a plane ticket, a chainsaw, and $10000 and il take care of it for you.

right now i'm a counselor at a summer camp NC State is running for high school kids about nuclear engineering. today one of our original professors, Dr. Murray gave a talk to the kids. i hadn't heard him before today either, he doesn't teach anymore. this dude is 90 years old and was THERE at the very beginning of nuclear. he was WITH Enrico Fermi and some other famous fission guy whos name i can't remember right now. he worked on the manhattan project and was at the Chicago PILE, the first ever sustained fission reaction. this dude is legit. he even confirmed that yes, there really WAS a guy with an axe standing next to a rope, ready to cut it and drop a control rod in should things go bad. we all thought that was just a legend/running joke of the nuclear industry. SCRAM (emergency shutdown by dropping rods in) was pretty well accepted as a "backronym" for Safety Control Rod Axe Man, but apparantly that really IS where it came from.

he's even still pretty spry for his age. he had a sample of uranium he passed around, about a 1 cm cube of it. the stuff is almost as dense as lead, so it was rather heavy for its size. he pranked one of the kids pretty well. the kid was handing it back to him. when he turned to walk away, Murray made the "oops" kind of noise and moved his arm really fast like he dropped it. so the kid whips around and about dove after it until he saw what was going on

apparently a couple of armed idiots hit the post office 2 villages away and we think they came this way to use the motorway junction at the bottom of our village to get away but they got cornered at the top of the village by armed police and the helicopter was providing co-ordination assistance.

The LFTR was designed and tested successfully in the 1950s.  It utilizes the Thorium fuel cycle instead of the Uranium/Plutonium fuel cycle.  The byproducts are generally less radioactive for a shorter period of time.  The fuel also stays in a liquid solution so you don't have to worry about fuel rod degradation and can keep on "burning" the fuel much further than you could otherwise.  Finally, it doesn't make Plutonium, so it is inherently proliferation proof.

Why are we not using this if it was designed over 50 years ago and proved to be better in all respects than LWRs?  Because it was proliferation-proof.  Our genius ****ing government wanted more Plutonium for their nuclear arsenal, so they ****-canned the best long-term fission reactor design I've ever seen right at the infancy of the industry and cursed us with a bull**** inefficient and dangerous fuel cycle we can't get out of.  God Bless America.

While plutonium production was undoubtedly a contributing factor, it is NOT the deciding one.  That design, while certainly a good one, is not "better in all respects" than a LWR.  First and foremost is economics.  LWRs are basic and (comparatively) cheap.  U-235 is the ONLY naturally occuring fissile isotope, making uranium fuel much easier and cheaper to procure.  One of the senior design projects my year actually was analyzing thorium fuel, and it is not yet economically viable.  Many of the things you mention sound like advantages when they are plugged by proponents of the design, but in actuality are essentially non-issues.  The length of fuel burnup in a LWR is in no way affected by fuel rod degradation.  Fuel depletion is what determines the duty cycle.  They burn it until it can't sustain a critical reaction any longer.

I've not specifically looked at liquid solution fuel ideas, but I can speak generally about some pros and cons for them.  On the pro side, it could run at higher core temperatures that would corrupt the cladding in traditional solid fuel, which can increase the thermodynamic efficiency of the power plant.  On the cons side, and this is really the huge one, is that a liquid solution is an absolute containment NIGHTMARE.  The PRIMARY barrier to radioactivity release in a nuclear plant is the fuel rod itself, and a liquid solution eliminates that.  I don't even want to imagine trying to handle the waste liquid.

The proliferation aspect is highly debatable.  If you feel strongly about non-proliferation, it might be best to skip this section and agree to disagree.  In my opinion, it should be a non-issue altogether.  We already have nuclear weapons.  The actual number we have really doesn't matter at all, it's just the fact we have them.  The capability to produce more changes exactly nothing.  We have dedicated breeders for that anyway.  As for the terrorism aspect, i am 110% confident that there is no way a terrorist organization would be able to steal fuel or waste and make a bomb out of it.  Directly addressing the point of thorium being naturally proliferation resistant, that is not exactly true.  Thorium is only a fertile isotope, meaning it has to be bred into something fissile to be useful as fuel, and either plutonium or uranium still must be present in high concentrations at the beginning of cycle.  If memory serves, the thorium fuel bundle design from the aforementioned design team was in the neighborhood of 40% Pu-239 to be able to maintain criticality at beginning of cycle.  Thorium is better in non-proliferation yes, but to state it is completely proliferation-proof is false.  But again, in my opinion, it shouldn't matter.

Last point in wall-of-text post: our current fuel cycle is fundamentally NOT inefficient or dangerous.  We certainly have the capability to close the fuel cycle, it is the politics that are making it the way it is now.  With simple breeder reactors, the uranium fuel supply can be made virtually limitless (by breeding Pu-239, back to proliferation here).  We also already know how to reprocess waste.  Even as it stands now, there really isn't a problem with the fuel cycle until we run low on U-235, which will simply force us into fast U-238 or thorium reactor designs, and essentially end up the same place, just a little slower (and more cheaply).  The panic over not having anywhere to store waste is just that: panic.  The reason we are "running out of room" is because of arbitrary capacity limits set by the government/NRC, which were extremely heavily influenced by the NIMBY from hell, not what would actually be dangerous.  Hell, we don't even really NEED a repository other than just to make us feel better by having it underground.  ALL the waste from the current reactors that have been running for 30-40 years is easily stored on-site.  Some haven't even had to move it into dry cask storage yet, their spent fuel pool still has room.

I don't mean for this to be an attack on you or the reactor designs you are talking about.  Your head is in the right place and they ARE good designs, but I really like to squish misinformation on nuclear topics as soon as I see it.  My overall point for this post is:  we simply don't need those kinds of reactors (yet) at a higher cost and a revamp of the nuclear infrastructure.

Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life- Reality Has Left the Building
Post by: perihelion on July 08, 2010, 09:46:13 am
I'm an enthusiastic amateur, and I appreciate your insights.

I am a bit confused by your comments on fuel rod degradation, though.  My impression was that the build-up of fission products can cause the rod itself to crack and release by fuel and byproducts directly into the coolant.  Does the reaction get poisoned by fission products before integrity becomes an issue, then?

While I do see the difficulties of dealing with liquid fuel, it seems to me that the advantages ought to outweigh them.  Even assuming fuel rod degradation is a non-issue, you are still going to have to remove a huge quantity of unburned fuel because of fission product build-up which eventually poisons the reaction.  Again, I'm no expert, so I only have a couple examples to throw out there, but Xe-135 is the one I'd been warned about.  In a liquid fuel system, separation of these byproducts from the still burnable fuel would be child's play by comparison.  Some of it will gas off (collect at the top of the reactor), some will become insoluble and fall out of solution (a bit more tricksie, but not insurmountable), some would still be liquid, but could be separated chemically or through differences in density.

I had not given much thought to the fact that you'd have to kick start the reaction with something else.  That is very good point.  Nominally, you'd be using U-233 in the kernel and Th-232 in the blanket, but in order to get to get the U-233 you'd have to make it in a fast breeder reactor.  Once you get the fuel cycle started in earnest, this problem would go away, but it does present a significant hurdle.  One would think, however, that the breeder reactors we already have for production of weapons-grade isotopes could be put to this task?

As far as proliferation goes... my issue with it is mostly that it has been made an issue.  I would probably sleep a little better knowing we weren't making more weapons-grade materiel, but at the end of the day, it is the fact that "proliferation" is being used as an excuse not to reprocess our fuel or burn it in a more efficient manner that really sticks in my craw.  If it were possible to side-step the proliferation issue by saying, "Look, we've got a fuel cycle that doesn't produce anything that could be used to build a nuclear bomb," my hope is that some of the resistance to nuclear in general, and more long-term sustainable fuel cycles specifically, could be overcome.

I had another nightmare about my laptop having malware. There was a popup of some sort, and I couldn't kill it with Alt+F4, and I couldn't bring up the Ctrl+Alt+Delete screen, and it was playing embarrassing music which I couldn't mute.

FROWNY FAEC :(

Also, I'm trying to get back onto a normal sleeping schedule. My plan is like this... I'm going to stay up until 5 or 6 this morning, then sleep until about 1 or 2 pm (whenever my parents get back from church). Then I'll go to the neighborhood Chinese restaurant for dinner (Peking Delight has the best Chinese food ever!), and try to stay up until sometime between maybe 2 and 4 am. Then on Monday I'll get up sometime between 10 am and 12 noon, go down to my school and make sure all the paperwork for the upcoming term is taken care of, and check whether I've got all the amenities I'll be needing for the upcoming school-week in place at my apartment. If I do, I'll stay there and sleep until around 7am, in time to eat a little breakfast and walk to school for my 8am class. Otherwise, I'll come back home, sleep there, and have to get up slightly earlier so I can ride in with my parents instead.

Yay!  :o

sign of a boring existance:

you dream about malware on your computer.

i also fix my schedule buy alternating between nodoze and booze. eventually i level out. or i just visit my sister. its amazing how fast you realign your schedule when the generator is only on for 6 hours a day. they have batteries and an inverter as well, but that doesnt power much for long.

i finally decided on a design or my camera turret. its funny 12 different designs and i end up just tweaking the first one. i still got to add holes for bearings, screws and other hardware before i have it laser cut. and maybe il add some finger joints for rigidity. but thats a matter for later. for now i need to go through my endless supply of junk and look for screws and bearings so i know what size holes to make.

Made peace with a girl I'd hurt pretty bad (not physically, obviously) a few years ago. I always wondered if she still hated me like she should've since then, but she told me she forgave me, after a lengthy conversation in which I apologised to the best of my ability. I'll take her word for it, and enjoy the extra kilo off my chest.

Well, it's really nothing, I once had a metal wire go into one side of my hand and out the other when I tripped and fell on my hands. Didn't notice until a few minutes later when my grandmother pointed out that my hand was soaked in blood. Also, I have no life insurance so my mother wouldn't take me anyway.

Had a discussion with somebody about the nature of sexuality, fetishism, and why Japan has such weird pr0n. Except I tried to avoid using the word 'weird', as it goes against what I was trying to explain... that a lot of that stuff is cultural and individual, a result of one's experiences with their world and their society.

I'm considering posting a thread about it, but I'm not sure how to do it without it immediately getting derailed.

If you ask me, Japan's had an extremely fast cultural evolution which is why it has such weird porn (and culture in general). It went from being in a state of constant civil war, to absolute monarchy, to capitalist powerhouse in less than a hundred years.

A few weeks ago, my MacBook's battery started swelling up, and today, after only two hours of lessons in school, I finally found some time and energy to get it checked with Sapura Synergy, the people who sold it to me under the school's flag. Because this MacBook was purchased under the school's promotional program, it came with a lot of extra junk, including a sling bag, a cable lock, Final Cut Express, Symantec Antivirus, Office:Mac 2008, Adobe CS3 Creative Suite, an upgrade to Adobe CS4 Master Collection and a three-year warranty that covers everything, including the battery. Sapura has taken away my bloated battery, so my MacBook is unable to run without an external power supply until they get back to me next week with a free replacement.

I also saw Adobe CS5 Master Collection being sold, and I think I died 100 times when I saw the $4000+ price tag.

Summary:

This girl from my high school, the first person to block me on Facebook, unblocked me for some reason. We became friends, and met in person, and were all apologetic and forgiving and whatnot. I asked her to promise not to resume avoiding me like she had done, and she agreed. But then she wanted me to promise not to fall in love with her. I was pretty sure I couldn't make that promise, as I was already falling for her.

And then I conveniently woke up, before things had a chance to fall apart.

My mom was asking me about what I've been doing in health, which I'm taking over the summer to free up a period during the year. I started going through the week. I got to Thursday and say 'we had a bunch of lectures and then watched a video demonstrating how they test you for HIV in a clinic. But they only explained the girl bit.'

Mom said, ok, and how did that work? (she had been testing me to make sure I wasn't just sleeping through class). To which I replied, 'They stick a bunch of tools in her and jiggle it all around a bit'.

I didn't have to talk to her about Friday  :P

The Nito Ryu set I ordered came in the post today, Nito Ryu is a two weapon (daito and shoto) style for Kendo.  We're going to be trying it out next week in Kendo class.  The set came with an instructional DVD that was pretty good.  After watching it I tend to think the style complements someone with strength and reach, since you often use the shoto to knock aside your opponent's blade to give your Daito a clean path to strike.  Should be interesting and I'm look forward to class.

My friend got married on last saturday so I was there celebrating that. Good party, good band and even the police came over to check things out. The place was next to a lake so apparently the music was disturbing other people. The police didn't mind though, saw that everything was in order and reminded us to fresh up into driving condition on the next morning before heading back home.

Well, it doesn't help the fact that my team happened to be a horde of massive clods. If it were slayer the other team would have won from the fools running around a corner at the heavies just sitting there waiting for them to come. Sure was funny though, when they'd respawn and do it over again...

Didn't hurt, and I lost virtually no blood, the holes clotted within minutes O_o
4 adult and a milk (baby) canine (2 adults one one occasion, 2 adults + milk on the other, about a week apart), I just used the numb mouth opportunity to squeeze difficult spots without it hurting

How did the dentist go about it? did they wiggle it or just yank it out?

also, just find a distraction, go play video games or do something which requires a lot of attention.

I had five wisdom teeth impacted in my jaw bone.  They had to be destroyed before they could be removed.  I do not remember the blood being a huge problem, though.  By the time I came to, my mouth was packed with gauze.  I do not remember many of the details, but I think I kept on changing the gauze out for a couple days.  Then, it was "pop a pill when you need one, son" and "keep your tongue away from those holes!" until they finally healed over.

Yes, five.  The fifth wasn't a fully formed tooth, but it was bone matter and it was definitely not supposed to be there.  Something left over from prenatal development.  And here I thought being a mutant was supposed to give me secret powers or sumptink.  [pout]

Today I didn't get nearly enough sleep before my morning calculus class.  So about 30 minutes into the lecture I was so tired I closed my eyes and within seconds hallucinated that I was watching the professor continue to lecture and write math gibber on the board. Suddenly he stopped, stared at me, and then the whole class looked at me, and then I opened my eyes and he was lecturing on while writing math gibber on the board.  And I looked at the clock and saw I still had over 3 hours of class left and was like AWWWWW.

Calculus is awesome, but staring at integrals for 4 hours straight is painful. :(

Just got back from a night out (about an hour and a half ago).  Got the latest Honor Harrington book at Books-A-Million, really looking forward to reading it (and keep the Mary Sue (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySue) *****ing out of this.  I enjoy it, I will read it.  End of story.).  Had dinner at T-Rex, got a rather large burger and several refills of Dr Pepper.  Then went and watched The Sorceror's Apprentice.  On my own personal scale of Dislike, Meh, and Like, I give the movie a Like.  Although, maybe part of that was sitting next to my friend, who is a fellow troper, and snickering whenever we recognized an obvious subversion or inclusion of a trope.  Also, totally called it when the titular tune started playing.

i just took the bandaid off where my iv was and it looks like somebody ripped out the first iv because where they stuck the (first) iv while i was awake (i watched), instead of a dot, there's a 1/4 inch cut and next to it is a second IV dot

First night of Nito Ryu (dual wielding a short blade, shoto, and long blade, daito) in Kendo, I'm liking it a lot.  As I suspected the style is going to complement someone with reach and strength.  That said getting good ten-uchi (in Japanese sword a sort of snapping motion you deliver when striking to maximize the slicing damage of the blade when it enters the target) while wielding the daito single handed in my left is going to require some practice.  I already know what I will be drilling in intensely this week.

What a douchebag.

I had a small comparison test with Herra Tohtori over the soundfonts we use on our MIDI players to play MIDI files. It's not a competition or anything, but Herra is saying that we're pretty even despite our players giving out vastly different results from the exact same MIDI file. It's a fun test, all the same. :)

The book's better but I agree completely and unashamedly.
 
 
 
 
Edit-
 
Got a call from casting-collective (extras agency) and I was offered a minor role bigger than the extra work I was able to undertake.
 
Unfortunately I can't do it as Army comes first and the filming would take up too much spare time.
 
 
The film's called Warhorse for those interested.

i was trying to get my helicopter to fly and i found a couple serious bugs, the first of which was that the servo controlling the tail rotor pitch was backwards. i had assumed the reason it was spinning out of control was because of improper calibration, but turns out that the servo was backwards, it was compensating for yaw by tilting the blades in the wrong direction. the manual was essentially wrong about the proper orientation of the servo. the second was an inverted roll axis, which was easily corrected for by reprogramming to radio. as a result i managed to take off, fly six feet and land without epically failing. then the wind picked up and the battery died.

i managed to get my chopper flight ready again. i put the chopper into a hover and the wind kinda tipped the bird enough for me to loose control of it, the rotor blades hit asphalt and somehow in the process managed to bend the hardest piece of metal in the thing, the rotor axle, just enough to cause some pretty bad vibrations. it managed to vibrate some of the screws out of the frame structure. i replaced the screws with new ones but came to the conclusion that id have to replace it and probably rebalance the blades , which had some material scraped off the tips, not enough to prevent lift but enough to imbalance the rotor weight/drag/lift. still what bugs me is the axle is a $5 part, but everyone wants $10 to ship it. ****ers.

J/k.  Although I did actually enjoy most of my calculus courses with the exception of Calc-III, which spent all its time going on and on about infinite sequences and series.  That I could have done without.  With Dif-EQ's there was at least a clear and present usefulness I could appreciate in spite of the agony, but infinite series made me want to gouge my eyes out and gave me NOTHING to show for it.  It was like the math department decided, "You've already learned differentiation and integration, and you've got one more semester before we're going to teach you the beauty of vector calculus in Calc-IV, so we're going to spend this semester hurting you the best way we know how [/evil grin]."  The bastards.

I was playing around in UDK... just fighting the bots in the stripped-down version of UT3 it comes with... and it's doing this thing where it eventually starts running really slow. So once again, I tried to kill processes until I could isolate whatever it was that was making it run so slowly. Ultimately I got it to run at a proper speed, but only after killing just about everything. And then I had no sound, and apparently I had accidentally killed the thing that lets me start services.

After realising I was the only school aged employee who goes to school at my fast food joint, I talked to the manager, who gave me a "You want to go to... uni-ver-si-ty?" look, as if I'd told her I wanted to go emigrate to Cambodia tomorrow when I told her was doing 6 tertiary entrance subjects in *gasp* ELEVENTH GRADE. *gosh, who would stay at school past tenth grade? :rolleyes: *

Watched Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen.

A strange blend of over-CGI, Testicle references and just a dash of racial stereotyping, all served with slow motion footage of the, admittedly, very attractive lead female running in loose clothing...

I suppose, considering this is primarily aimed at those who would have been playing with the original Transformers toys, men aged 30ish and over, that makes sense, but wasn't overly impressed with the movie itself.

Did I ever tell you what's messed up about James Bond? Shaken not stirred will get you  water with dash of gin and dry vermouth. The reason you stir it with a special spoon is so not to chip the ice. James Bond is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it.

That might answer how Mr. Bond did it. :P

 look inside, there's bits of newspaper on the floor
 boarded up doors
 and a sofa placed in front of one of them

 carry on trying to find the front door
 and find A ****ING CROWBAR
 it was lying there
 next to a crate

 gate= physics puzzle

She's an alright artist. I've only listened to Diamonds & Rust, From Every Stage, and Recently. From what I understand, she has 31 other albums (34 total, not including studio compilations) over a now 52-year long career. Precious few artists have been active for over 5 decades.

I had to read "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" (http://jco.usfca.edu/works/wgoing/text.html)

Too bad I had to do the reading and annotation in a hurry while everyone else was doing the in-class writing about it... the teacher apparently changed the homework from what was on the original printing of the syllabus, and I had read the wrong reading.

Anyway, it was an interesting read. I sent an email to my ex-gf suggesting she read it, too.

Seriously. If I were her I'd be a) afraid for my life and b) possibly considering going to authorities of one kind or another.

You must be missing something. I have no ex matching your description, and I have only one ex. And I reckon Bob-san, Hades, and iamzack responded without being aware of the falsity of the pretenses you set forth, so I'm going to ignore what they just said.

I have occasionally "*****ed" about other people who ought to have no reason to block me blocking me or otherwise treating me like filth, but not my ex-girlfriend... although sometimes I may have speculated---worried, even-- that she's deliberately not responding to some of the comments I've made... then again, I know she checks her Facebook account infrequently enough that it would be easy to miss them.

So yeah, I say "Derp" now.

You know, I'd actually love to do this. In fact, last holidays I spent about an hour and a bit per day practicing calculus. But during school, juggling sport, coaching, homework, and work (which I'm going to quit if they don't ****ing change my shifts), I just don't have the time to spend practicing maths more than an additional half hour and a bit.

some weeks ago, whilst out at point agassiz, the whole family decided to go kayaking/"fishing". the "fishing" part kinda went down hill after my sister threw a bipolar fit and scared away all the fish. but all was not lost, i discovered that if i threw one of the golden retrievers the mooring line attached to the front of the kayak, i didnt have to paddle. of course this put me at the dogs mercy. but fortunately for me the dog went to all the interesting stuff.

Usually I would've launched right into the "Why the hell do you have her phone and why are you attempting to go through it?!" rant, but then the gashes with the blood still dripping down the arm of my sister, which was now her phone wallpaper shut me up.

/me wants to throw his PC out the window, ignite it and smash the smoldering remains with a sledgehammer

I just lost the Descent (regular Descent 1, no D2XXL or other crap) level I've been working on for several days now. Had saved several times and was about to test (I was nearly finished with the whole thing), them tried to move some Jimi Hendrix music from my external HDD to an internal one. Something stopped working- Dolphin (KDE file manager) reported two of my external drive and neither one would respond. So I got impatient and hard-reset the machine (thinking I wouldn't lose anything). Well, it seems DMB2 (Descent level editor) or WINE must have been accessing the level file or something, because when I tried to open the level after the restart, it wouldn't load, throwing up a few nondescript error messages about corrupted data. Unfortunately, DMB2 doesn't seem to keep backups, so there's no way I can retrieve the level now.

I'm just going to start a different one. I've never been any good at remaking something I've lost, since I tend to concentrate more on getting it exactly the way it was than getting it into a playable shape.

Frak.

Came to a rather shocking revelation to the availability of purchasing computer games in stores.  Or should I say the near complete lack there of.  I had to go to three different stores before i found what i wanted one was actually a dedicated games store only to find a tiny section with a piss poor collection at the bookend of a stand.  Granted I know buying **** online is where its at nowadays, but I prefer having a package and CD in my grubby mitts.

The high school debate season is starting pretty soon, but I've already graduated from high school.  However, the entire active team has approached me to make topicality files.  Again.  Apparently I did something right last year.

And the resolution this year is:

Resolved: The U.S. Federal Government should substantially decrease military or police involvement in one or more of the following countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, Japan, and South Korea.

Oh, this is going to be fun. :D

Well, the interesting thing was that I'm not even particularly good at debate, I just have enough dictionaries and an imagination to make topicality violations flow like water.

When we were the neg team, my partner and I would split it up off-case for me and on-case for him in the constructives.  I would fit 2-3 Topicality violations (one page, four arguments each) and 2-3 disadvantages (3-4 pages, up to eight arguments each) in a single eight minute speech.  The affirmative team would just get buried under weight of argument.  It's hard to hit everything when there are between sixteen and thirty arguments on the table after two speeches.

And that's without on-case.  With a full 24 minutes of prep from three speeches, my partner could whip up another dozen and a half on-case.  I cover my orignial arguments in the first rebuttal, and the 1st Affirmative Rebuttal speaker has to cover a whopping forty arguments in five minutes. ;7

m stuck at the juneau airport. my hotel ****ed up my wakeup call, so i got ready as fast as possible, checked out really fast. the hotel courteous van was at the ****ing ferry terminal, so i had to run the 2 blocks to the airport. then i encounter a wall of tourists blocking my path to the ticket counter. then i ended up getting the only person who couldnt speak english, finally hey gave me a boarding pass. then i had to go through the goon squad that is the tsa, there was another wall of tourists in my way. i got to the plane maybe six seconds after they shut the door (five minutes early mind you) and they wouldnt let me on. to add insult to injury the plane sat there for a half an hour before it taxied out. then they tell me i have to wait 7 hours for another plane, which is fully booked, in case someone doesnt show up. the sad thing is on the three flights to this place, not one plane was at even 50% capacity. on the way here there were no tourists, no lines, no epic queues at the tsa checkpoint. to make matters worse this airport is in the process of being remodeled and doesnt have a bar. and there are a whole t places to recharge my computer. ive played 7 games of starcraft. ths sucks!

reminds me of the time I was in a shopping centre, and someone high up got giant centipedes and giant millipedes mixed up when they had broken out of a pet store.
people went ape****, I just went over and picked the harmless buggers up.

Today is the last Anime Night for the summer due to college and people moving out.  That's simultaneously a very good thing and a very bad thing.  Good, because it's going to be awesome and bad because there aren't anymore after this.

We're watching Karas today.  Haven't seen it, looking forward to.

i'm still working on one for the past 4 years :/

now before you all call me a spineless loser, she's had about a grand total of a week during that time she didn't have a different boyfriend.

now she's going to med school in england in the fall, so that's just going to have to not matter anymore.  woulda been done already, but she bailed on the concert we were going to go to :(

Pulled the Orange Box out again and churned through Half Life 2 and am now motoring through Episode One.  Even compared to today's latest and greatest its still Master Class.  Valve was spot on with the atmosphere, characters and really packing multiple genres into a single game.  I'll move onto Episode Two again once I'm done with One and then I'll be all sad that Valve hasn't graced us with a follow up.

Got even more fossils, mainly corals (Scleractinia?) and bivalves (Pteriomorphia, Pterioida, Pteriina&Ostreina). :) One of the Pteriina is quite unusual because the shell-to-sediment interface is green. I definitely need to ask a Paleontologist* about that, because I couldn't find out what it is. The incertae sedis are oddly shaped fossils which, who knows, may end up being those of an ancient whale or shark. That'd be wonderful.

I just had a dentist appointment.  Apparently, even though our insurance says they'll cover <x> each <period of time>, they don't.  So, my dad gets to choose between going to a place that's better at persuading insurance comapanies, or dropping the insurance altogether since it's doing **** for help.  Especially wonky because the cost for the yearly dental checkup is something like $350 for both my brother and I together, and he had extra X-Rays this time around, and the insurance is ~$500 a year.

i'm still working on one for the past 4 years :/

now before you all call me a spineless loser, she's had about a grand total of a week during that time she didn't have a different boyfriend.

now she's going to med school in england in the fall, so that's just going to have to not matter anymore.  woulda been done already, but she bailed on the concert we were going to go to :(

Well congrats McAfee for completely hosing my system. It installed an update last night and rebooted itself while I was in the middle of a SC2 game which then rendered my machine nothing more than a glorified paper weight until I had the time to fix it. Next time I suspect McAfee is the root of evil locking up my PC I'm going to start with removing it first. Scanning for any viruses or malware that might have gotten into my system and caused the lock up was a complete waste of time. :mad:

just because you dont find them funny doesnt mean we dont. when a guy hears a girl say something totally sexist, he usually just ignores it. since nobody is complaining you gals seem to think you did everything perfect. women talk **** about guys all the time (jokes or otherwise), but guys dont say anything because they want to get laid. what it really comes down to is that everyone is a douchebag, deal with it.

I feel I should nitpick less on my model kits and focus more on actually finishing it.

Case in point, a particular kit I started in ... Oh, July of last year. I wasn't intending to mod it, then didn't like the back pack, so switched that, then didn't like the armament, then changed that ... the list goes on and one. Thankfully, it's already been primed, so I just need to get off my arse and spray it finished.

Still, I should really nitpick less.

the humidity in north carolina is somewhere around 117%, so it might as well be 104.

If you change dialogue timing it's much easier to also change event timing using a series of send-messages in chained events.

I stopped using send-message-list after my first few missions.

(split needed, or not yet?)

message-list is useful, to me at least, for a very specific purpose: a long string a dialogue, uninterrupted by other events. Timing events is a simple matter of counting, and the way I use message-list, a "skip dialogue" feature would simply skip the entire block (I haven't tried to implement this feature yet, but I don't think it would require too much trickery).

About the program: a simple text script ought to do it. I would take a list of messages formatted as
Code: [Select]
"NAME:AVI:SENDER:MESSAGE\n" and return a list of messages
Code: [Select]
"$Name: NAME \n$Team: -1 \n$MessageNew: XSTR("MESSAGE", -1) \n$end_multi_text \n+AVI Name: AVI\n\n" and a list of events
Code: [Select]
"$Formula: ( when\n\t( true )\n\t( send-message\n\t\t"SENDER"\n\t\t"High"\n\t\t"NAME"\n\t)\n)\n+Name: NAME msg\n+Repeat Count: 1\n+Interval: 1\n+Team: 0\n\n"
The priority in send-message may have to be tweaked afterwards, as well as the Team, Persona and Wave file of the message- and I would have to use something other than colons as delimiters in the input file- but that should cover most people's needs. I could also count up the number of messages so the user could change that in the mission file when inserting the events/messages.

Problem is you then need to pop up the prompt to skip the dialogue before the dialogue begins, which looks awkward. 'Press warpout to skip upcoming dialogue' is less elegant than 'press warpout to skip dialogue'.

my kitty is getting better, hes eating and playing outside. we will finish up the antibiotics but i think the worst is over now.

i was just driving around a robot i cobbled together out of legos, and arduino, and some other crap i had lying around. for the transmitter im using an atmega 328 (programmed with arduino), mini joystick, and re transmitter along with a voltage regulator (power comes from a rechargeable 9v) and a crystal for the clock, some caps and an led. control is provided through a ps2 style thumbstick. it transmits a 5 byte packet with a 10101010 sync byte, a control byte with the first nibble containing button bits (only one so far), and the second the contains the most significant bits for the y and x axes.  byte 3 and 4 contain the 8 least significant bits for the x and y axis, fifth byte is an xor checksum.

this packet is picked up on a reciever module, i had to use a logic level converter for the signal wire to boost it to 5v, i didnt have one so i used an opamp instead. this amplified signal goes into the arduino board's rx pin. im using the arduino's voltage regulators. power comes from a small 11.1v lithium polymer pack (the same one i use in the helicopter). i use the vin pin (battery voltage) to power an hbridge chip's motor power bus. the chip itself runs off of the arduino's 5v bus. to control the hbridge takes 2 digital out pins and a pwm pin controls the speed. i also have a servo connected to the 5v bus and one of the digital pins.

the chassis was built mostly from studless parts from my nxt set, with some small parts from elsewhere. im using one of the old skool 9v technic motors, it has almost no torque (~0.45 ncm) at all but can do 3300 rpm @ 12 volts. the vehicle is very light so it doesnt need much power. the chassis is a reverse trike with automotive style steering and a single drive wheel in back. the only drive reduction is about a 2/5 drop by pully and belt (really a rubber band). all the electronics and battery is held on a platform on top of the car and held down by rubber bands, kind of a hackish add on because the electronics turned out to be bigger than i had expected.

i spent the last two days trying different performance configurations originally it was powered by a single 9v rechargeable battery. this got upgraded to 2 in parallel but was still not giving me more than 5 minutes of drive time. i tried a newer lego gear motor (one from my old mindstorms 1.0 set) geared up 1.5 times via a chain drive. it had more torque but ran out of power faster. the speed was about the same, still too slow to be fun. so i put the old motor back in and tried gearing it down another 3/5ths in addition to the 2/5 pulley drop. it was added torque but that only made it slower. this is where i put the heli battery into it. i didnt change the gearing and it started to haul ass. but i figured with the motor pushing 11.1 volts, i decided to do away with the extra 3/5ths gear down, and its back to the original 2/5ths pully reduction. it gives the best balance of speed and torque. the end result, it ****ing hauls ass. i never thought id see something powered by that motor haul ass. i put a camera on it and ran a few laps around the kitchen island, using only the camera to see where i was going. the end result is pretty cool.

I found out my dorm assignment. It's 3 miles from where I want to be. Oh well--I'll have to see about moving a few miles to different dorms--I really want to be downtown instead of out in down by the harbor.

Grabbing about a gig of PERFECTLY LEGAL music for my plane ride to alaska. Gonna be 16 hours from when our plane leaves to when we actually arrive there. Frikking layovers.

the routes here kinda suck. especially here where i got to take a puddle jumper to one of the hubs before i can go anywhere. its a ****tly little 737 with a cargo hold taking up the first half of the plane and the tail end for passengers. its kind of a fun flight though, usually all small town folks who talk to eachother the whole flight, even 4 aisles down. fishing and hunting stories mostly. i couldnt help but toss in a few of mine. i ended up stuck at the juneau airport for 9 hours that last time. it was under construction and didnt have a pub or any food other than a vending machine. it was horrible. finally got on that plane and was home 20 minutes later. you might see one parked in juneau, but you probably wont be on one.

downloading music isnt as illegal as it used to be. most people get their music through downloads these days. sometimes paying by song, by album, or by subscription. i dont like those services because they have piss poor selection of the stuff i listen too. i think i got to that age where i stop listening to new music. im lucky if i can find 4 new albums a year that i want to listen too. last thing i downloaded was the complete works of motorhead '77-'07, and i still havent listened to any of it, except the albums i already own.

That's kindof my problem. I listen to a lot of power metal, which isn't a particularily popular genre, so most music services don't have it aside from iTunes, which is EVIIIIL. I also listen a lot of techno, and the chances of finding the right mix of any given song are a million to one. And then classic rock, which means most of the bands aren't around anymore.

power metal is still an order of magnitude more popular than black or death metal. but i hate looking in the pop/rock section for a copy of darkthrone's 'a blaze in the northern sky', one of the most kvlt albums in all of black metal. it is neither pop nor rock, and doesnt belong amongst that crap. classic rock is so easy to get for practically free. ive been known to go as far as ripping a tape i found at a garage sale or thrift store and converting it to mp3. some stuff is so rare you have to pirate it because no one sells it.

the man has a point. i kinda wish they would modernize the format though, go with a mini dvd instead. if they could make a portable cd player the size of an ipod, with a format that you could buy music on, id probibly own one.

i still have an ipod and a digital library on my computer, but 95% of it is ripped straight from the CD in lossless format.  download would be fine if it was a lossless format instead of MP3 or whatever apple's proprietary format is they like to use.  i personally still would buy CDs though.  jewel cases, physical cover art and liner notes are all part of the package.  and a good CD collection is something to be proud of :)

I went to school this afternoon to submit an assigment that was due at 5 PM. I got there two hours before the deadline was due and submitted it with no fuss.

Then I went to the nearest canteen and - once again, against my better sense of judgement - ate a footlong Subway meal. I decided to try out the Chilli Crab edition. It was unimpressive; not enough meat. A normal footlong meal would leave me struggling to stay alive, but today, I downed the meal with no problems.

For the first time in seven years i'm considering being monogamous. . . . Even a little voice in the back of my head contemplating kids again after my first two.
 
The world is looking a bit rosier this month. I've not even been getting laid regularly. It's a case of long term (8 years) friend, taking an illogical next step and finding it perfectly normal.
 
In any case, i'm enjoying it while it lasts. If, and it's a big IF, it all goes tango uniform, I've got a few fallback pillows to bury my sorrows in ;)

i started writing down some of the stuff he said in lectures.  my favorite was during aforementioned yanking of cable out of high-voltage device: "Now I'm going to have to be real careful as I remove this......  OUCH!"

Maybe they mean at the destination but people there tell me it rained a little earlier and has stopped now and the flight is too short to have much bad weather in between.

I remember the physics professors at my school having a contest to see who could put the biggest dents in the lecture hall ceiling with a magnetic ring launcher (what they were justifying this as was a demonstration that electrical resistance decreases at lower temperatures: the colder the ring, the higher it would fly when electrified).

And our chemistry lab was quickly derailed the day they allowed us to play with liquid nitrogen. 'Nuff said.

I had a dream that I went to Scotland. It involved orcas and dolphins beaching themselves and then walking off the beach on their tail fins.

That does sound like Scotland... :p

Bad day here too, we have absolutely no water because our water main has burst again, and they're having to fix it

Got out of late band practice (6:30-9:30) cuz we got the entire first song on the field and played, along with pre-game, and our parade blocks.

JUMP is a very easy song to memorize, and sounds awesome when played right.

our calc II is different from the rest of the world's.  ours is basically intro to diff EQ.  i'm going to guess everyone else's calc II is multi-variable

Most schools do integrals in Calculus 2 (and some really basic ODEs, like first-order ones) and multivariable stuff in Calculus 3.

As for Calculus 2 being harder than 1, it's basically a continuation of the same class. I never understood why they are considered separate at all. :p

we do integration in calc I here.  the slightly funkier stuff like solids of rotation get pushed to II.  after that, it's completely disjointed and ventures off into differential equations and laplace transforms, series, and other such oddities. 

maybe our order is more similar than i thought, but all the stories i've heard from transfer students suggested we did things weird.

Also, we covered both integrals and solids of rotation in Calc I.  I honestly don't know what's going to be in Calc II entirely, but EVERYONE I'VE EVER TALKED TO who has taken that class has told me it's the hardest class ever (with the exception of one person, but he's the most mathematically gifted person I've ever met, so he doesn't count).

I'm pretty sure they've changed the program by now, but at my first university, Calculus was broken up into 4 courses instead of the usual 3.  I think they got a lot of flak on that from other departments who were under pressure to reduce the number of hours needed to graduate.  But I kind of liked it.  Differentiation was Calc 1.  Calc II was integration.  Calc III was mostly infinite series and sequences and stuff that was, for the most part, useless to me later on.  They did throw in a dash of line and area integration, and a tiny bit of partial derivatives.  Then we had Calc IV, which was awesome.  That was all vector calculus, and that was where I finally had my epiphany and realized what electrostatic and electromagnetic flux is and why it works.

Then we got spun off into Dif-EQ, numerical methods (which I actually enjoyed after I finally got the hang of it about a month before the final), and some poor sods had to take linear algebra (matrix analysis).

Technically, I wasn't in college calc until yesterday at 12:30 PM.  All that stuff I learned in high school.

Anyway, I've determined that Calc II is actually my only challenging class this semester.

CHM 210: Chem I.  Easy, review, I've done this before.  Twice.
GEOG 200: Human Geography.  Show up, get a good grade.  If there are less than 20 As in the class at the end of the semester, the professor is going to lower the percentage required to get an A until he reaches 20, and adjust all other grade levels accordingly.
MATH 221: Calc II.  Challenging.
DEN 189: Into to University Honors.  70% of this class is seriously just showing up.  It's in the syllabus.
ME 101: Into to Mechanical Engineering.  Also basic.  Showing up is only 50%, but the rest is easy.
CHE 015: Chem Assembly.  It's basically seminar, but counts as a credit hour and is required.

headdie's depression bleeds, not in any order as I do them as the mood/opportunity takes me.

1. Play a violent computer game, FEAR, SoF, Doom, Quake.
2. Listen to music, don't matter if its a genre you normally listen to or not
3. Do something creative, concoct a new storyline/setting for a mod, game or novel, dont matter if it gets finished, seems like i do my best stuff when I'm feeling low.
4. Read a book.
5. Help a friend talk over their problems.
6. Talk to a close friend about my problems.

but then that's just me

I had to pull a small shard of glass out of my heel a minute ago. For ****'s sake, that's probably the only thing on the floor in the entire house. I walked around barefoot in this place for months between this and the last major cleanup and NOW I get hurt?

I hardly know anything about radiation poisoning...for some reason or another I had in my mind that once you've been exposed to radiation, it never really leaves your body...is this true?

I'm not sure if it ever does leave your body because I know that your kids can have severe mutations resulting from their parents exposure to radiation. I'm not exactly sure how long it takes or if it does leave your body though.

Uh, like what?

C'mon Battuta do you really want their dirty linens aired in GD?  If this is some internal project matter I'd question the logic of bringing it up in GD in the first place.

The problem, as I see it, is that I made one simple non-hostile comment, and got a rant, imagemacro, and allcaps sarcasmfest in response. And then when I complained about their reaction, I got an apology.

Then Galemp (poster of the aforementioned imagemacro) comes along and edits my post to make it into something stupid, which could never have gotten an apology out of anyone, and also edits mjn.mixael's apology.

It took me a good fraction of an hour to phrase that post so that it would come across as serious, make it clear that I was offended by the aforementioned bull****, and at the same time avoid alienating mjn.mixael too badly.

I think the problem is that you don't understand how ridiculously dumb your comment about the pipes was.

I want you to imagine that you recently completed hand-carving a replica of Michelangelo's David. You wheel it out to your family, and the first thing you hear is 'Hurr hurr. I think you made his dick too small.'

Even if it were constructive or relevant, it would need to come after some acknowledgment of all the things done right to seem like anything but a comical piece of irrelevant nitpicking, a sign of a psyche so invested in minutiae that it had lost all sight of sanity and reason.

Why wasn't it used generally in the menu? It sounds even creepier with that intro :shaking:
Whoa dude yeah what the hell? I've never heard that before...
The first portion of that is the music from one of the Ancients cutscenes, isn't it?

I don't think so. The ancient video songs are also pretty dark but I only remember SR-Reborn using this part of the menu theme. Curious, Volition, curious...

I'ma go play some more... I've never tried actually fighting those two tankers, I always just assumed I was supposed to retreat. Maybe if I save the MRL for when they arrive, I might actually have what it takes to kill them.

BTW, does anybody know what game I'm talking about?

Edit: I was unsuccessful. Damn warriors got up on the bunker and drove me back from the edge so I couldn't shoot down at the tankers. Then I basically just had to retreat... luckily I had taken out a lot of the blasters early on, so I didn't have to deal with them and the fireballs at the same time.

Something exploded above me while I was walking along Sennett Road just now. At first, I thought it was some fruit or something since the stuff that landed on my shirt looked red in colour under some very poor light. It was only until I entered better lighting conditions that I realised it was most probably bird defecation.

i think english is more germanic than french.

it went celtic + germanic tribes = anglo-saxon + french = old english + time = middle english + more time = modern english


according to the lit class i was in for a week and a half anyway.

Asshole move of the week: Alien Swarm.

Was playing as Tech in the Elevator level. I briefly welded (just enough to lock) a door shut at the beginning of the level, preventing the other 3 parts of my team from moving on. I proceeded to burn the entire stage and deal with ~200 aliens alone. My team kills one of their own trying to destroy the door, and finally finally breaks through and meets me at the elevator and finds, waiting, a shield bug and a swarm (including parasites). The two fall to the parasites and swarm and I lure the remaining shield bug off the elevator before starting it. I finished the level alone with almost no health but having had a bit of fun.

Band hours today:

3:30-6:00
7:15-10:00.

Lots of band today.

On a semi-related note, I never thought that 75 (~24 celsius) degrees and sunny with a moderate breeze would ever feel cold.  I'm too used to 110 (43 C) with heat index of 130 (55 C) playing on astroturf.

That wasn't practice.  Those are performance times.  Practice was from 9:30 AM to just before noon. :P

For band camp, we went 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM, with a grand total of three hours of breaks a day.  Now that band camp is over, we have six hours of field practice a week and at least one hour of sectionals a week.  That's in addition to the 17 other hours of scheduled classes I have a week.

EDIT:  Also, I have a date for tomorrow (technically later today)?  When did that happen?

Hmm... I don't get it. Even if it kills the plants it's in, how would it replace the existing bacteria? It'd seem like killing plants would be a disadvantage, and it wouldn't actually spread.

Then, dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, spent a few minutes talking with one of the servers (ladyfriend from last post actually about life), and now waiting for people to get back to the dorm for midnight-lobby-fun-time, since there's no class tomorrow.  Yay Labor Day!

i got back from the woods. managed to get a good flight out of my rc helicopter before crashing it in the muskeg. bent the bar that connects the rotor blades to the hub. failing that we decided to go fail at fishing instead. not catching anything we get out the chainsaw and clear out some of the trees that have been invading all of the prime fishing spots. an hour later we have a perfect fishing spot and still no fish to catch. so we spent the rest of the time playing starcraft and watching movies.

Oh hey, Gortef, I have flu too, and in the warship sense, I have absolutely no Sensors and 40% Engines right now.

Two days ago, I found myself hawking up huge globs of green slime, but I still felt relatively okay. I did take a cold tablet and it seemed to work. At night, I found myself getting tired pretty quickly (at around 10 pm, when I usually go to bed at 2 am) and I left HLP IRC with the quit message "I feel like hell".

Yesterday evening, just as I was about to go down to buy dinner, my sister noticed how flushed I looked and realised that I was having a fever, so she went down instead. Two hours later, while in bed and reading some Christian comic book (for fun), I took my temperature and got 38.7 degrees Celsius.

I switched to taking a Panadol pill every four hours until this afternoon, when I took my temperature again and got a reading of 38.4 degrees Celsius. The 0.3-degree drop was what prompted me to go to my local doctor to get it sorted out the proper (and more expensive way). He told me that I was suffering from some sort of flu that affected the upper body and gave me the following medicine:

* Anti-fever pills
* 90ml cough syrup
* Anti-blocked nose pills
* Antibiotics

The antibiotics is the heavy artillery, which I won't consume unless the other three medicines fail to mitigate the flu. I'm not consuming the antibiotics until tomorrow or the day after, if my temperature still refuses to drop.

I've taken two anti-fever pills and one anti-blocked nose pill. A side note on the anti-fever pills state: "May cause drowsiness". Given that I've spent most of the past 12 hours in bed, I'd like to see how long I can stay awake. :)

after spending 3 days in eagle designing my rc receiver board. once its assembled it can control a bank of up to 6 servos, and drive an h bridge which could control 2 motors or 4 solenoids. it will have an atmega328 as its mcu, which has enough power to control all the gizmoes. it will have headers for transmitter and receiver modules. so it can be controller remotely and provide telemetry. i broke out all 6 analog pins for sensor data (2 of which can also be used as an i2c bus, so you can control open servo hardware as well, though i plan to use it to talk to my lego nxt and/or its sensors.). i already have the firmware running in the original breadboard+arduino prototype, though it needs some tweaks an i probibly have to rearrange my pin assignments. i cant afford to have custom boards cut, so im just going to use a high end protoboard. its a pretty nice board, it has a grid of holes with traces connecting them in a grid, so you can cut traces to isolate lines. it will no doubt take a day or two to complete assembly. ive already mocked it up with all the headers, sockets, terminal blocks, and other non-removable components to make sure the design matched the available board space. cramming everything into a 3"x2" board was kind of a tough task, i tried about 7 different layouts before i found one that worked. anyway i think im headed for bed.

So I was showing my roommate some FS ships last night (we were discussing asymmetrical ship designs), and he said the Nephilim reminded him of a ship he'd seen before. So he goes over to his laptop to show me and starts up none other than... Shadow Squadron. Naturally, I have to point him toward the SAFSO project.

Apparently the ship it reminded him of wasn't actually in SS/SA though. It's a pretty iconic FS design so I can only imagine he's played FS1 at some point or at least seen a demo/picture of it.

I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.



This is easily in the top ten greatest movies of all time

I'm actually having kind of a rough time this semester because I can't fall asleep in my classes. In the classes where I don't have to pay attention, I'm never comfortable enough to nod off and in my other classes I need to stay awake.

Finished the CHM 210 test in less than half the time allotted to take it.  Easy stuff.

I'm gonna see if I can get into a harder Chem class.  It doesn't feel right for me to be able to stay up till two in the morning, sleep through all of my morning classes, and have nothing bad happen.

If 210 means organic chem at your school, then I am going to find you and shoot you.

I have to take CHM 230 (said harder class, a.k.a. Chem II) for my degree(s) anyway.  I'm already going to be here for at least five years, and I'd prefer to stay as little past that as possible.  Also, it makes me feel... uneasy when the classes I took last year in high school are more advanced than the classes I'm taking as the functional equivalent to a 2nd semester college student.  The only classes I have this semester that aren't review are Human Geography, which is piss easy, and Intro to Mechanical Engineering, which is also piss easy.  Chem I I've already taken (in no less than two forms, and half of a third), and Calc II I've already taken up until mid-semester, thanks to my awesome high school Calc teacher.  We started going over L'Hopital's Rule today.  I learned that almost exactly one full year ago.  We're starting Stoichiometry in Chem I this week.  I've been doing Stoichiometry for two and a half years.  It's just so frustrating having to take stuff over again.

CHM 210 is Chem I here.

full bit about counting from the textbook:

Astronomers somtimes lump together all elements heavier than helium as "metals." This puts them, we realize, on the same level as primitive tribes who count "one, two, many," but sometimes the ability to count beyond two is overrated.

also appearing in this text is the sentence "The universe is under no obligation to make us comfortable."
Title: Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life - Reality Has Left the Building
Post by: watsisname on September 16, 2010, 01:14:47 pm
:lol:

To be fair, there is a better/justified reason for astronomers calling every element heavier than helium a "metal", and it's because those heavier elements didn't exist after the Big Bang (except lithium, but in trace amounts).  Rather they all formed later on by nuclear fusion within stars, so we use the term "metallicity" to define the concentration of those heavier elements within stars/nebulae/etc.  This definition is useful because it helps us determine the age and other properties of the object in question.  For instance we discovered (unsurprisingly) that metal-rich stars have a higher chance of forming more and heavier planets.

And besides, as far as a star is concerned it makes no difference if an element is a true metal or not -- it's just a bunch of soot.   Chemistry and metallic bonds be damned. :P

We've had no sleeps at this point so my mate (not a massive difference betwixt 19 and 16) ended up songging her for two hours on the night bus. Her mate near enough humped my leg into submission EVEN after a told her I've got two kids from two different women, a failed marriage AND a girlfriend at present time.

Didn't go to sleep last night, instead spent three hours in Aggieville at a different bar than the night before (although with same person as the night before :D ).  Got back to the dorm around 12:30, had dinner/breakfast, and hung out until about three.  At three, we had to leave for MARCHING BAND.  The bus pulled out at 4.  On the way there, watched Good Burger.  Got to KC.... sometime after that.  Paraded around for a few hours, played our show, got back on the buses and left.  Slept through Kick Ass on the way home, got back at around 6:30 (PM, this time).

Now I'm tired as hell, I can't get the Xbox to work correctly, we won our game (3-0!) and now I've got about five hours before I go to sleep again.

Nah I'm figuring impact damage not disease, in any case I put on gloves to remove it.  If it comes back alive I'll be sure to dip the langschwert  in oil and light it on fire before decapitating it.

Not a bad day of shopping. Not at all. Only thing I couldn't find that I was looking for was Deathsmiles, but I have a good idea of where I can find it tomorrow.  :)

i got back from a failed duck hunting expedition. it failed thanks to bad communication on the part of my sister. someone told her that duck hunting was in open season, so she invited me to go shoot some. of course what she didnt know is the ducks dont show up for another month or two. as a result, zero free meat. funny thing was on the way back across the narrows in the boat, we see a massive flock of ducks inbound for the same beach we went looking for ducks at the day before. i was really itching to blast some shells at some ducks.

UV MAPPING!

Item #: SCP-3141

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3141 does not need to be contained in the usual manner; however, care should be taken not to attempt any action regarding SCP-3141 without the presence of Level 3 staff or higher. Any computer capable of SCP-3141 should be used with caution. Under no circumstances should SCP-3141 be attempted using the program known as "LithUnwrap", because it sucks. The last time this was attempted [DATA EXPUNGED]. Any personnel or D-Class test subjects compromised by SCP-3141 should be administered a Class-A Amnesiac and monitored for 24 hours for signs of mental instability.

Description: SCP-3141 is the process known as "UV mapping", or mapping parts of a texture to polygons in a virtual 3D object. SCP-3141 is known to be a pastime of dark cultists such as "modelers" and "texture artists". Such people who regularly engage in SCP-3141 are prone to bouts of mental distress, insanity and [REDACTED].

SCP-3141 is a highly destructive memetic agent capable of inducing obsession, extreme disorientation, mental distress and [REDACTED]. Anyone attempting SCP-3141 (hereafter referred to as SCP-3141-1) usually exhibits the following symptoms:

0-1 hour after exposure: possible confusion, lightheadedness
1-3 hours after exposure: mental distress, disorientation
3-5 hours after exposure: compulsion to continue engaging in SCP-3141, severe mental distress
5-8 hours after exposure: obsession with SCP-3141, frequent assertions that "The UVs aren't in exactly the right place", temporary insanity if removed from SCP-3141
8-10 hours after exposure: loss of most mental faculties not directly associated with SCP-3141, [DATA EXPUNGED]

The process by which SCP-3141 captivates its subjects so thoroughly has yet to be determined. In all cases before class-A Amnesiac was administered, SCP-3141-1 has expressed desire to continue engaging in SCP-3141. In approximately 50 percent of cases, the process culminated in SCP-3141-1 throwing the computer out the window before curling up in the fetal position and weeping. Administration of a Class-A Amnesiac raises survival rate from 10% to 40%. Subjects immediately revert to their incapacitated state upon relapse.

Addendum 3141-A: The harmful effects of SCP-3141 have been shown to be lessened significantly by documents known as "tutorials". More research is indicated.

yeah well, frat boys will be frat boys.  and the occasional campus crusade table or visit from gary is nothing to get worked up over.  oh, and we have some "traveling monk" who tries to sell students a buddist or some such book.  i've only seen him once, but one of my rather dim friends actually bought it for like $30  :ick:

i tell you what though, the group that creeped me out the most here were the Obama crusaders two years ago.  and i'm pretty sure the lesbian rugby players in the suite next to me were their ringleader.  every square inch of glass was plastered with "hope" and "change" and whatnot.

To elaborate, the person I had hoped to ask out in the next couple days just told me she just started seeing another guy.  And then said she wouldn't have said yes even if I had asked (without me asking if she would have).

Other possible interest knew that I was going to ask person A out, and acting on that knowledge, got a boyfriend as well.

bourbon indeed has its good points, you can drink it all night and not be totally hung over the next day (unlike cheap $10 1.5 liter bottles of vodka). its sorta like alaskan thunder**** in that way. but alas i have to say my favorite booze is tequila. you might not be 100% the next morning, but you will have one hell of a night.

Met a really nice kid in robotics yesterday. Only, he has a muscular disease (I don't remember what), and by the time he gets to college, he'll be reduced to stephen hawking... I'm pissed now. Why does s*** like that have to happen?

And how does he feel, knowing that? Ugh, that sucks even more.  :ick:

im trying to write a program to transmit joystick data from the computer, to an arduino, convert the format on the mcu (with, you guessed it, another program) and transmit the data over a 315mhz transmitter module. which will be picked up on the matching receiver module, which is plugged into the rc board ive been working on for the past few weeks. the mcu on the board controls a servo and an hbridge for motor control. everything on the board works and i have tested it with my breadboard remote. however in the intrest of telepresence, i want to send a combination of trackir and joystick data to operate camera turret (mk2), and vehicle respectively.

unfortunately, i have a really weird bug. whenever i try to turn right, the motor kicks on for some as of yet unknown reason. its really got me scratching my head. theres probibly an overflow somewhere. there is also some major lag between joystick and vehicle. and the lag probibly just needs some timing tweaks. need to limit how often the computer sends the arduino packets, one every hundred ms should be sufficient. i could probibly step up the baud rate to 4800. i really wish the mcu had a second uart. it would make for some better communication. i could talk to the mcy from the computer at a much higher baud and still run the tx module at its perfered 2400/4800 baud. i have the computer coming in the rx line and the transmitter on the tx line. if i were to need telemetry, id either need to sacrifice performance and use software serial, or get an arduino mega. but for now its essentially a one way relay.

im really tired, still i push on.

Stayed in the lobby playing card games until about midnight-thirty.  It honestly feels too early to be going to bed, but I have class tomorrow that I'd rather not sleep through.

Ah well.

Also, call time for the game Saturday is 7 AM.  That makes four weeks of home games in a row.  It's brutal on the band.  Mostly because we have a new show ready every week.

Hunting season started. :)

1st shot: missed. The target was far away (25+ meters), and in the worst position for me to shoot.
2nd shot: hit, partially wounded. It was even further than the first one (30+ meters, probably 40 or more), but I could aim better.
3rd shot: killed. It was much closer than the other two, but also unexpectable. Everything happened in 2 seconds.

Homely
1: suggestive or characteristic of a home

Just got back from my first horseback riding lesson, saw it offered in my town's recreation program and gave it a shot.  Pretty fun, learning how to groom and tack the horse was pretty cool, the riding bit is pretty basic right now since I'm starting from square one.  It'll be another interesting skill set to fit into my lexicon of off beat skills.  When I got home to let out the warhounds I won my dogs' "Came Home With the Most Interesting Smell Award" all they wanted to do for the first five minutes was try to inhale my jeans.

I KNOW RIGHT

I was with the boys a few hours ago watching the grand final as well. It was pretty epic in that last ten minutes of the final quarter, but still I have to agree with you there, it was Collingwood losing the match rather than the Saints matching the Pies. Though the Pies did fairly decently in the first half.

Organised my rebound already whoop whoop!
Out with 8 women of varying ages from nineteen to twenty three on friday.
 
 
Gonna bring two mates along as well so it doesn't look overly wrong. It's a "social bonding night". The girls wish to offer me some moral support in light of my recent (in hindsight, probably well planned and meticulously constructed) breakup.
 
 
I'm not a headcase or anything, I just like to leave the women feeling like they left me as it's easier for them to recover if they feel the choice was theirs :)
 
 
I'm a Freakin hero  :/

In other news, got really pissed at something (long story) and tossed my iPod against the wall because weird al came on in my fit of rage, ruining the dramatic tension. So now the jack for my earbuds are broken. You know, the pair I spent weeks looking around before I dropped $30 on this pair.

She has urged critics not to take her lyrics seriously; such as in "Tik Tok", where she has been criticized for referencing brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniel's  whiskey. She explained that, "Everyone's really offended by that. But come on, brushing your teeth with Jack Daniel's: what girl does that? People are like, 'Do you really advocate brushing your teeth with bourbon?' I'm like, 'Yes, actually, I do, every day, for everybody. Especially eight year olds.' I mean, what are you talking about? Of course I don't. Come on."

She has urged critics not to take her lyrics seriously; such as in "Tik Tok", where she has been criticized for referencing brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniel's  whiskey. She explained that, "Everyone's really offended by that. But come on, brushing your teeth with Jack Daniel's: what girl does that? People are like, 'Do you really advocate brushing your teeth with bourbon?' I'm like, 'Yes, actually, I do, every day, for everybody. Especially eight year olds.' I mean, what are you talking about? Of course I don't. Come on."

Wonderful. :)

Just got back from Student Council leadership camp today. Had some lectures by some UWA professors on Leadership, more specifically Emotional Intelligence or some ****. I understand that's also taught at ADFA, which is a plus seeing it early. Got the ball rolling on some changes I proposed to make the implementation of ideas a lot more efficient and prevent a 70 strong Council from becoming a bureaucracy. As well as devising a three-step Environmental Program in conjunction with a Carbon Neutrality target.

Enough work for three days. More Halo is necessary. :D

Just finished my Problem Solving homework. We've just started to get into Sodoku-type problems (more unknowns than clues/equations, various strategies for reducing unknowns). I've put off the homework for quite a while in favor of re-LODing my model with UVs... only to find that the homework was actually hard this time.

Solving NP-Complete problems at four in the frakking morning is NOT my idea of a good time.

I have a habit of looking at FS1 or FS2 missions in FRED when I have nothing else to do, to look at some SEXPing. I had the misfortune today of opening a Silent Threat mission, and being reminded of exactly how insanely BAD the original was. It's like someone used FREDding as a drinking game- for every directive and useful message you put in the mission, you have to take another shot. And I guess eleven mission designers loosely agreed on some semblance of a plot about GTI developing a superdestroyer, and the goal was to make each mission in under thirty minutes while drunk. That's the ONLY way they can possibly have overlooked so many glaring design flaws and straight-up BUGS.

Y'know, I think I'll make a campaign sometime, that starts off following the plot of Silent Threat, but briefings and command briefings start lampshading how horrible it all is, when finally in Secrets Revealed the Hades shows up, and is informed by the mission designers (who are characters in the campaign) that it's just supposed to sit there and do nothing, until finally every single ship in the mission rebels against the mission designers, who then show up in a Sathanas and the real objective of the mission is to destroy them.

I just got my mid-year results. B or B+ for everything except for one module, which got A. Ironically, that subject that I got an A in is the least favourite subject among all my peers because they seem to think that it a) is a massive waste of time and b) has no relevance to what they were learning.

GPA in Singapore is used as a criteria to enter a University, out of a maximum of 4 points. The minimum for a student coming in from Polytechnic is 3.25, although that's pretty unsafe given that a number of students can easily do much better.

My GPA for this semester is 3.3636; for my entire period of polytechnic education it is 3.2427. There is one semester left, and the only module in it is my final year project. My final year project is worth an entire semester's grades, calculated on a 70-30 basis, with 70% from individual work and 30% from teamwork.

Holy hell. :eek2:

I rather like English Breakfast because of its nondescript and generic flavor.
How the bloody hell can you like tea like that? :D

Well I guess most tea tastes good after two teaspoons of sugar.

Yesterday, I got to play two games of WH40K using minis that weren't even mine.  Both of them were killteam games, which means that each figure was its own unit, instead of squads as units.  200 points per player, four players (for the first game).

I was playing Imperial Guard.  I dropped in with 10 guys.  I only lost 2.  One of the guys playing space marines dropped in with the same number.  He ended with one.  Another guy playing Imperial Guard dropped with 40 guardsmen, ended with 9.  Guy playing Dark Eldar had 15, didn't lose any.  We had to call it early, so I got 2nd based on points left.

Even better about that game is that my ten Guard troops killed three Space Wolves and a dozen imperial guardsmen.  I only lost one to return fire (from the guard).  The other got sniped by a Lancer (Dark Eldar).

It was a good day for the guard. :yes:

I'm feeling quite regretful. I handed in my resignation form to the ****ty fast food place I work at (HJ's for all you Aussies. Don't eat our burgers by the way, they're made by blokes like me who don't bother using the tongs when throwing raw meat patties on the broiler and instead wear the same pair of gloves for two hours whilst throwing your patties in by hand. And this is while I'm sticking those hands in several sinks swimming in detergent to wash the pans and boxes all our processed food comes in).

I digress.

Realising whilst on late shift tonight that one of the blokes there was like my older brother (a family member I never had, my mum miscarried), it really pains me to have to leave the place now. I feel like a tremendous disappointment to the team who work there and like I've done just about the worst thing a sixteen year old Aussie can do, which is letting down a mate of his.

Telling myself it was juggling a Captaincy, four sports, school, and life or keeping the job doesn't console me much now. :(

I'll come back in there and apologize in person sometime.

On the plus side, I've had awesome conversations with this girl I like several nights in a row now. Here's hoping.

My co-op adviser told me to go, no pressure, just to see what it's like.

Mine was actually a homework assignment, because my professor is a dick.

And then the company I actually really wanted to visit switched days at the last minute.  They were actually an arms and ammunition company, and I missed it!

I was walking down an underground staircase when the realization hit me.  I wasn't really walking down the stairs.  I was floating down them.  I pondered this fact as I kept bouncing into the ceiling.  This was slightly uncomfortable, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.  First I needed to get this weird gravity under control.  Ahhh, there it goes.  With gravity destroyed I could freely climb my way back upwards and explore the greater world in which I had found myself.  I came across a hole in the roof, through which the glimmering blue light of day invited me.  I crawled through and stood upon the surface, fixed my gaze upward, and soared.  A gibbous moon was rising off in the distance.  I felt compelled to travel to it, and so I did.  It phased before my eyes into a small lump of meteoric rock, hovering there a few dozen meters above the earth.  I held it in my hand, admiring its transient beauty.  Floating back down to the ground, it dawned on me that I had traveled to some kind of elaborate structure built of crystal.  For no particular reason I hefted my little stone into it, and instantly the world shattered in a piercing burst of blackness.  A voice then spoke to me, uttering in a most displeased fashion, “Son, you should not do that”.  I understood, and opened my eyes.

BUT BREAKING THE CRYSTAL MADE SUCH AN AWESOME SOUND.  :(

Anyway, now also have plans to see Toy Story 3 with friend on Sunday night after moving.  And I'm getting my hair dyed some as-yet-unknown color to "match" the four other friends who are going to have pink, red, yellow, and blue.  I'm going to be either green or purple.  Would prefer purple.

Long time since I contributed to this insanity, but hey.

Used bicycle to get to store for supplies.  Path is pitch black, utilized two headlights.  Traveled with iPod, unable to listen. Headphones broken.

Arrived at mall.  Noticed biking in 7 degrees Celsius with only a fleece jacket, a t-shirt and blue jeans is a little uncomfortable.  Acquired new headphones.  Bought tupperware, shaving cream, lint roller and electronics cleaning wipes.  Contemplated acquisition of snacks, but decided against.  

Returned to bike.  Noticed tail light left on.  Made note, won't forget again.  Rode back with iPod on. 3 degrees celsius even more unpleasant.  Arrived at college and exploded.

I barely slept at all. It was in the low thirties last night when I went to bed at 1AM (I'd been working on something for my game design class). Only problem it, our heating isn't on, and my comforter is threadbare. Oh, and I still have summer sheets. But I was too far gone to get more blankets from the closet at the other end of the hall, plus my dog probably would have started barking and woken everyone up.

I on the other hand am finding the whole thing a good old buzz. :D

dining hall food is horrible

why the **** did i think this was a good idea

i hate my life

the food you end up eating while attending school always is nasty. but we didnt have no dining hall. also considering i spent all my money on booze and weed, i ate some pretty horrible things. ramen for example. also fast food, and a lot of snacks. its funny because i was skinny back then. either i ate at the jack in the box next to where my work was, or i stopped at the taco bell at my bus transfer to my night classes. class was next to a grocery store, so i frequented their deli for dinner when i had money. night classes were hella fun because we got to break all the rules. the ban on eating in class was not enforced at all. even the profs broke them. there were also no its on staff for that hour, so we torrented things like crazy, i also knew everyone in the it department, and they showed me how to bypass the routers. when i didnt have any money it was ramen, which you could get out of the lounge vending machine for a quarter, and nuke in the microwave. i tried to eat twice a day. fridays i splurged and had pizza, because it was usually payday. sometimes i skipped lunch at work so i could leave an hour early. and took a different bus rout to class, this time the transfer point was next to a chinese buffet, so i had about half an hour to eat. after i graduated i got a job at a pawn shop and my diet didnt change much, 10 hour days saw to that. after i quit that and moved back up north, i decided id take the time to do all the cooking myself. i never regret that decision.

Paranormal Activity was quite entertaining. Especially as I am a COMPLETE non-believer in all things super, preter, proto, exo, hyper, and any other kind of non- standard natural. The fun kicks off on night 20. It's just slow as hell leading up to that point.

im ****ing around with the chinese people on ebay. thought id order me a new soldering station. seeing as my soldering iron finally died after prolonged abuse, i thought id order myself a variable temperature rapid heatup rig. since im a cheap basterd, and dont want to buy the same thing in the usa for 3 times the price and get jacked on shipping, so i ordered it from one of those chinese warehouses who sell non logoed clones of other products. 3 weeks later i get the thing, and aparently the chinese dont know what cardboard is. the thing is in a box made out 3/8" styrafoam (not even good styrafoam, its that **** they used to use back in the 80s thats been recycled 50 times) covered in a single layer of tape. now i order stuff from china all the time, its cheaper than picking the same thing up at walmart for 3 times the price (we dont have a walmart) and so far i havent got jacked yet. so i do what any screwed over ebayer does, i gave em the evil red blip and said their packing was ****. i ask them to send me a new case (i was hoping they were a factory and not a warehouse), 3 days of emails later, and they finally figure out what the **** i was saying, and tell me they dont have the parts. then they offer me a $4 partial refund, which doesnt even cover half the shipping. so i told em i want half off. they said what about $10, so i told em that would buy them a neutral. now they are begging me to make it positive. at this point i can hardly care about the money, i find it really amusing to screw with these people.i demanded a full refund. cnat wait to see them squirm.

Re-watched the A Team the other day and noticed an easter egg! When the team break Murdoch out of the Sanitarium in Germany, the 3d movie playing is showing credits. One of the actors names that is shown is Reginald Barclay, a nod to Dwight Shultz's character in Star Trek TNG and Star Trek: Voyager! Dwight Shultz played Murdoch in the original TV series!

I can't believe I was nerdy enough to pick up on something like that, especially on the second viewing!

Finally finished my modern history assignment. Am so tired, I could feel the stress getting to me tonight. Man, I need more sleep.

Primary Objective: Buy curtains.

Proposed Outcome: Sunlight will stop waking me up in the mornings on weekends and neutralising any prospects of getting back the lost sleep during the school week.

Contingency BEDSIDE: Put the bedframe on wheels and move it 1.5 metres away from the window to mitigate the incoming sunlight.

Contingency AWYEAHDILMAH: Use superior muscular prowess to lift bed the necessary 1.5 metres away from the window.

I tend to regard any conception of being humane with your weapons as a joke. They banned shotguns before WW2 believing they'd cause gross injuries, but they didn't ban mortars, hand grenades, artillery... Hell even the high-velocity rifle bullet as used in that war pretty much made a mockery of the shotgun ban. If you wanted to be humane, you wouldn't be using weapons.

The point is that in the end the only real distinction between weapons is whether they were designed to be lethal or not, and that distinction only even came into existence within the last twenty years. When you're dead, you're dead. You don't much care how you died, because the dead have little use for pity or vanity.

FLASH and its cousins are quite up to the task, in the end, depositing about a pound of similar-to-napalm-but-ignites-on-contact-with-the-air burning material on you at ranges of up to 200 meters. I was simply surprised at how few alternatives there were, given the demonstrable effectiveness of fire as a weapon.

Possible, I suppose, but incredibly inconvenient to carry and use against other human-sized targets. (Yes, I'm researching ways to set people on fire from a distance. It makes sense in the context of what I'm writing; if you have someone who can stand up to getting hit in the chest with a LAW rocket about 60% of the time, but can still have their lungs seared, you work on ways to set them on fire.)

Possible, I suppose, but incredibly inconvenient to carry and use against other human-sized targets. (Yes, I'm researching ways to set people on fire from a distance. It makes sense in the context of what I'm writing; if you have someone who can stand up to getting hit in the chest with a LAW rocket about 60% of the time, but can still have their lungs seared, you work on ways to set them on fire.)

well, my dear, I'm going to be frank:
the when I did maple assignments in my 1st year math, I passed
when I didn't, I didn't.
that said, their relevance to tested material is usually only 1 or 2 questions, and doing them, even now, is probably still worthwhile, unless, y'know, passing really doesn't matter.

1 or 2?  1's tests were retardedly easy.  i'm not sure i ever even had to use the product rule.  2 is doable, just pay attention in class and take notes.  

i can't say doing the maple ever really helped me as far as learning the material, but learning how to use maple was immeasurably valuable.  i would NOT have passed the thermal hydraulics classes without it.  your mileage may vary.

Wrapped up my fourth riding lesson, I'm getting better at posting the trot, I've got the motion and the timing down.  That said the horse I ride is very, very lazy so keeping him in a trot is pretty hard.  On the plus side his name is Husker so he gets BSG points at least.

O.  well i don't really remember much about 3 other than double and triple integrations.  my instructor was a grad student who talked so quietly not even the front row could hear him.  i got an A in that class due to the 20-point A range that served as our "curve".

I'm currently dumbfounded/partially annoyed by my friend's lack of understanding regarding medicine courses in Australia, or rather, his attitude towards them. I spent 90% of the last lesson of the day trying to convince him with my rudimentary knowledge of medicine in Australia that graduate university entry to medicine isn't some kind of catchment area in which people who 'aren't good enough' for undergraduate medicine fall into, and are not for some reason 'inferior' to undergrads.

As far as I can tell, whilst he *likes* medicine, his passion isn't to 'become a doctor so I can help people', but rather, 'become an undergraduate medicine student at the University of WA (university with the highest pre-req entrance scores in the state, generally) so I can become a doctor and have it as a status symbol -> help people whilst simultaneously proving to my father that I'm not second-best.'

And rooting from his daddy issues is this perception which his father/both parents hold that undergraduate medicine is 'first' with graduate medicine 'second'. My perception is that he's close to the embodiment of the stereotypical undergrad medicine student (or rather, one that prevails in Australian private schools); someone who wants to get in moreso for the sake of saying 'I got into undergraduate medicine and the other ten-thousand people didn't'.

ARGH.

/me destresses.

NFS carbon is not that good, I've played it on ps2 and 360, and it's like the parts of underground 2 I didn't like (always nightime) with all (IMO) relatively awful MW handling, removal of the cool underground 2 tuning and 'speedbraker' feature, and a tier/class system for the cars which was really just lame to me.



anyway, slapping the stud in study for midterms tomorrow and wednesday.

Hold onto NFS Carbon and pay late fees then. Or ask for an extension. Or ask and, if denied, tell them you're unable to swing by the library until __ day (perhaps Monday).

The student employment website has a generic application system which doesn't support attaching resumes. Some employers require you to email them a resume before they decide to give you an interview, others just go off of what the online application tells them until the interview, and others don't require a resume at all. But the kinds of jobs that don't require an independent resume at all are the ones like "Walk to every single building on campus and make sure they have a fire extinguisher,"

Uh-oh, I accidentally ate the egg bun my sister brought back from school last night. Now she's either going to get mad at me once she finds out, I'm going to get an upset stomach sometime later today, or both.

First attempt at dyeing hair:

Target: Cobalt Blue (what it says on the tin.  I'd just call it "blue")
Procedure:  Apply dye to head.  Wait 30 minutes.  Rinse with cold water until water becomes clear.
Result:  A very strange, but certainly not uninteresting aqua-ish blue-green.
Conclusion:  Either the brand/color was off, leading to sub-par performance, or not enough time given to allow the color to set.  Other possible explanations include: 1) My hair is too light (or dark.  Whatever) for this color and 2) it might show up the correct color after it dries completely.  Will test further when I wake up.

Overall:  I am not disappointed, as the objective of the entire process was to produce an interesting hair color.  My only disappointment lies with the formula itself, which may still redeem itself.

You have to bleach your hair first to get a true color.

they got me up at 7 am, after only 5 hours of sleep. 3 minutes later i was in a truck headed to the point. there was a storm in the forcast so i wasnt even sure if id get to come home today. walked across the barnacle strewn rocks to the shore where the boat was being pulled off its mooring out in deeper water. still had to balence my way out on the rocks and pull myself up to the bow. i had to pass several boxes a dolly and other stuff to the people already aboard. managed to make my way to the deck and took a seat. the see did not look as bad as the forcast had said, so we head out. half way to town we hit 4 foot seas in a little aluminum skiff. not a fun ride (well maybe a little, im the guy who cheers turbulence on planes after all). we finally hit the narrows, and i safely managed to get out of the boat without getting wet.

while i was out in the woods i managed to bag a duck. i also got a free computer (assuming its not full of salt water). when i got home, i was then greeted by 2 cats, a pile of mail and packages, a half asleep mom and a smell worse than the rotting food smell at my sister's house. mom has not been bathing.

Interpretation night at Kendo, it's when we study actual kata and forms for kenjutsu using bokken.  We went through some kata for the shōtō, shōtō being the short sword component of a Samurai's daishō.  It was interesting since you can see similar moves in Eskrima and even Großes Messer for that matter.  Its funny how even though melee fighting styles may have developed independent of each other across the globe if developed and refined enough they often reach a similar result, in large part because of whats ergonomically possible for the human body.

Nother night spent in study of The Days Of High Adventure.

The cost of the T-34 probably is a rounding error on the price of the air strike.

Possible, but former Iraqi is also very likely.  At the end of the Gulf War the US seized quite a lot of the abandoned Iraqi equipment and shipped it to Afghanistan for the final push against the Communist Afghan Regime.

Demilitarized T-34s go for between 10k and 40k on the open market. An AT-4 or fewer than 5 rounds of GAU-8 ammo is probably cheaper, but if they couldn't reliably tell what it was after it was hit we're probably talking a Maverick.

for thepics or it didnt happen crowd:

(http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc103/Emperor_of_Nihil/BFvalhalla.jpg)

you could probibly throw together a freespace mod for this game in a week if you were one of those hyper skinny geeks and came up with a better process than i did. my process was simply to take a screen cap from pcs2 from an ortho top view, and then trace each section with the pincil tool. rendering the ship sections as 3 color 80x80 png images that the game seems to favor. i was able to get that ship in there in about an hour.

Had a disappointingly small crowd of tricker treaters.  I bought 80 packets of popcorn (despite my initial skepticism over the past three years the popcorn packets have been a massive hit with the kids) and a couple sleeves of musketeers as an alternative; I think we had maybe a dozen kids compared to being nearly wiped out last two years.  Guess i'll bring the rest into work.


I threw on my Bōgu sans helmet to do the hand outs to which most thought was an "Epic Jedi" costume.

Being home sick I managed to get a head-to-head game of Steel Panthers World At War in.

Tigergruppe Searcy waltzed through the majority of a British Airborne Regiment only to have all three tanks all get whacked on one turn by a couple of guys with a PIAT.

Is that even possible? I recall in that Stephen Ambrose book about Pegasus Bridge, some British soldier talking about how the PIAT was actually a massive load of ****, and even worse if the target was over 50 metres.

Is that even possible? I recall in that Stephen Ambrose book about Pegasus Bridge, some British soldier talking about how the PIAT was actually a massive load of ****, and even worse if the target was over 50 metres.

The PIAT was nearly impossible to aim because it didn't have a flat trajectory even over relatively short ranges. (Though it's nominally listed as having a 120 meter range I think the 50 figure is probably an accurate assessment of when you'd ever hit something with your first shot.) I also have my doubts than anyone ever managed to actually fire one three times in as many minutes in a combat situation considering the godawful cocking mechanism since it's basically a giant springloaded grenade launcher.

However could it breach the 25mm top or rear deck armor of a Tiger? Sure it could. And then the ready ammo goes off or the engine catches on fire and it's all pretty ugly. So what happened was within the realm of possibility, if barely.

Honestly it was my screwup; I was counting teams and and guns and managed to transpose one of them somehow. I thought he had one more 6 pounder somewhere, which wouldn't be on a top floor, not one more PIAT, which could be. Whoops.

Had an interesting day. I ran a few errands and sent my headphones back to Koss for replacement. I can expect them back in a few weeks. Then paid for 6 LP's for my uncle (1 Maynard Ferguson, 2 Gordon Lightfoot, & 3 Elton John). Did 10 months of finances for a small business in about 2 hours and had an hour-long meeting.

Heh, fair enough. I've had a few good experiences with British PIAT teams in Close Combat, but the Panzerschrek just pwns everything.

I was stuck in the political science lab today and didn't get lunch and then they brought me two trash bags full of candy.

I think I will be suitable for use as a globe tomorrow.  :( :( :(

It's really a shame they decided to sacrifice the Pegasus in Exo Part Duh.  They could have flown Lee into the Baseship's side and had similar results, plus the RTF would still have two Battlestars.

What the hell? What are you doing posting so early in the morning?

Also, guys, he now has a compression bandage holding a cold water bottle against his calf, much to our amusement when he arrived at school.

$13 shipped, actually.

New Velociraptor 150's cost <$200 last I checked. No way I'd buy one new; OCZ Agility drives are a far better choice. What's rather funny is that these Raptor 150's are actually slower (read/write) than my Caviar Black 1TB. Their access time is less, of course.

I got 100% on a practice test for calc I, and then a 0% on the actual test.

Turns out I had said the derivative of sinx was -cosx and the derivative of cosx was sinx for the entire test, and since there were trigonometric functions in every single question on the actual test and none on the practice test, I got tricked into thinking that I actually knew what I was doing.  :P

On the bright side, it was an online test I can take as many times as I want.

How can you possibly trick yourself into thinking that d(sinx) = -cosx?  Just look at the graphs of the two functions!  :P

The slope of y=sinx at x=0 is positive.  The value of -cosx at x=0 is negative. :)

Ok, last year, while gallivanting around Europe, I picked up this full length leather trench coat (think Morpheus in #1's coat.)  I wear it out occasionally for teh lulz but the issue is because I'm so pale I'm often mistaken for a goth/emo as opposed to someone having a laugh.  Will upload pic after done studying today - it's quite cool.

Watched Despicable Me yesterday with several friends.  Loved it.  Came back to the dorm floor to find out it was KARAOKE NIGHT!  Good times were had by all.  At approximately 11:30, friend came back with V for Vendetta, which we finally got working at about 12:30.  Finished at 3 AM.  Good movie, would watch again.  At conclusion of movie, myself and three friends took a spur of the moment trip to IHOP.  My ham and cheese melt was delicious.

I got back to my dorm at 5:30 AM.  Then I got up to march during the football game halftime show at 10.  My carpool leaves in about half an hour.

That was one of the best Fridays ever.

Two more 4th Hussards complete except for their carbines and some touch ups.  So I'll make my first attempt at basing the three I've got completed.  I've two more in the pipe and I'll go base coat another group.  Possibly take a crack at the officer...

Welp, that was a nice weekend. We organized a bachelor party for one of my friends.

The subject of the party was "To be a Man"... so... we dressed him as the Conan the Barbarian and during the whole saturday his diet included meat, ONLY meat. Nothing else (well of course drinks too).
Also he had to prove himself to worthy of the title and do some activities that tested his strength, speed etc. Those tests included things like; Huge amount of stairs and Military Obstacle Course.
And after all that, and a refreshing sauna, we went to play paintball. And of course a round or two in the bars.

Good times.

Good news: I walked into a store and a salesman found precisely what I was looking for.
Better news: I tried it on and it fit.
Best news: They pressed it on-site.

Bad news: Two salesmen and I spent an hour prior in Macy's trying to find the same exact thing.
Worse news: I need it for a presentation today.
Worst news: It cost me $80 for a single white dress shirt, with a size-15 collar and 34" sleeves.

I am so very angry right now.

Had to stay behind after the end of my English exam with the bloke sitting next to me; examiner says while he was out of the room, assistant examiner saw the both of us talking, and said we'd be getting penalized for it in terms of our marks with the possibility of it being up to -100%. He also said that if we objected, we'd lose all of our marks.

:hopping:

It's the examiner's word against the entire back row, none of whom saw me or the other guy exchange glances, say anything, or any form of communication between us.

Yeah. Once I get the demo release of my WIP campaign done, then perhaps it will be enough to get me on a project team. Perhaps I should have rephrased my comment. It's not so much the badge I want, I want to work with a project team, I just don't have anything (as yet) to showcase my FREDding. So hopefully when my demo comes out someone will approach me. Or I'll ask nicely.

Nope, the examiner who apparently 'saw it all!' wasn't even there at the end of the exam. I'm going to appeal it in writing if they take marks off. She can't prove it.

if it's anything there like it is here, you should be fine.  academic integrity is not to be taken lightly, which works in your favor when you are innocent.  for someone to accuse you of it is HUGE, and it can definitely blow back on him.  if he's just making a foolish and unfounded accusation, he will either realize what he is about to do to himself and back off, or be in a heap of trouble when they find out he's falsely accusing and has no proof.  if for some reason he's doing it maliciously, again he has no proof and you have a room full of witnesses.  i doubt this is the case, but if it is, he's in an even tighter spot than if he's just being an idiot.  in either case, don't be timid.  make it abundantly clear you will take this straight up to the dean if you have to.  if you think this is going to turn serious, you might consider talking to the campus police.  they can probably take statements from the other students and whatnot.

Having it on my report is something I'm even more worried about, since I have to submit that for the university I want to apply for (part of the overall application process), and 'CHEATING IN EXAM' is going to make them think I'm some sort of individual who's lacking in integrity-> instant rejection.

"Scanner's showing new enemy targets."
"Engage! Engage!"

Translation: Bring this up with the school ASAP. You have an entire row of witnesses and the guy with you. Do not let this jeopardise your future.

I am so very angry right now.

Had to stay behind after the end of my English exam with the bloke sitting next to me; examiner says while he was out of the room, assistant examiner saw the both of us talking, and said we'd be getting penalized for it in terms of our marks with the possibility of it being up to -100%. He also said that if we objected, we'd lose all of our marks.

:hopping:

Is that Duntroon you're talking about? Because AFAIK, with the possible exception of Notre Dame, all the unis go solely on your TER. Nothing else enters into it.

Duntroon's part of second pref option, ADFA being part of all of them. They like all your academic results year 10 onwards though, and I'm concerned about how well it's going to go down if they read it in the report comment that I supposedly cheated in an exam, when being an Officer means having integrity.

Either way, I'm planning to ask about it tomorrow, and talk to the Dean of Studies about being granted some kind of avenue to appeal.

i had to team kill a player in starcraft 2 for being a douche. it was a 4v4 and i got stuck on a platform with a terran teammate, who was mad at me for doing a 6 pool. aparently he wanted me to build up my base and help him wall off the gate, which is not how you play zerg. after my 3rd rush wave the base was walled off and he refused to drop the supply depots or give me control to let me continue my attack (which had already taken out a base mind you). shortly thereafter the counter attack takes out the wall his bunkers and most his forces. i save the platform because a squad of hydras hatched just in time. anyway he started spouting profanity at me and after a second attack, we lost our workers and many of our buildings. yet hes still cursing like a 12 year old. so, i built 4 zerglings and wiped out his command center, a refinery, two supply depots and about 10 marines. i just had to point out what a few well placed zerglings could do. the rest of my team laughed and got decimated shortly thereafter. they need to make it illegal for people younger than the age of 25 to play games on the internet.

Still had a good time.  Hopefully I can make it again next week, even though I've got a presentation to give for my Intro to Mechanical Engineering class.  What bastard schedules a presentation at 10 PM on a freaking THURSDAY NIGHT?  Added motivation to get it over with, since I'm hoping to see someone there next week that I met this week.   ;)

As soon as the suite door shut behind me this morning, I realized I forgot my keys. But then I thought "no need to bang on the door and wake people up, I'll just get a loan key this afternoon."

But then as I left the building, I realized I left my wallet (and IDs) in my room as well. But I thought "well, I don't need a spare key anyway, I can just text Lura later and ask her to let me in."

So then, when I was nearing class, I reached for my phone to check the time. I left my phone in my room as well.

... ... ... ...

Yay Friday.

Played the actual game of BattleTech with a few friends at the FLGS.  Two Hunchback 4Gs vs. a Commando 2D and a Grand Dragon 1K.  I lost the Commando second round of the match to an 11+ hit on a leg, immediately after which I ejected the poor bastard.  He didn't even hit anyone before he went down.

Next two hits of the game were both by me.  One Hunchback got into exactly 10 hex range, and despite his best efforts, got stuck there again next round.  On both rounds, my PPC connected right to his head.  Scratch one pilot.

Next few rounds, I won init, and backed the other Hunchback into a corner of the map.  Then he won init and I had to retreat or take an AC20 to the face.  I lost init for the next three rounds, and he managed to close the distance enough to get off a salvo.  Both MLs and the AC20 hit my right leg, tore it clean off.  My return fire punched a hole in his left torso, and ALMOST critted the ammo, and the next turn (for which I was prone and propping myself up on an arm) just wasted itself against his right half.  He took out one of my arms, and I had no choice but to eject the next round.

Final results:
1 Hunchback with no head
1 Commando with no leg and a missing cockpit (to ejection)
1 Dragon with no leg, no arm, and a missing cockpit (also to ejection)
1 Hunchback still standing with no armor on its whole left half but no missing sections.

So, according to two classmates, I have a paper due tomorrow in my honors class.

I've scoured my school email.  Nothing.
I've scoured my non-school email.  Nothing.
We haven't had an actual class session for (tomorrow makes) three weeks.  Nothing.
The syllabus doesn't mention it.  Nothing.

I therefore conclude that I will not do it, and reference these four facts if it does in fact turn out to exist and be due tomorrow.

EDIT:  This decision helped along by the fact that I have no idea what the hell it's supposed to be about either.

Me neither.

Sometimes I think it's really interesting that a room can be arbitrarily crowded, but we're never touching.... Then when someone when someone does accidentally brush my skin I feel like we're blood brothers/brother+sister or something....

I've probably said too much by now. :nervous:

An 80mph gust front just plowed through my town.  I stood outside my front door and was watching the storm roll through and it sounded like a ****ing tornado.   For a moment I feared that it actually WAS a tornado; I've never experienced wind like that before, and not even during a hurricane was there so much crap flying through the air. 

I can't believe I have power; I saw/heard at least 6 different transformers explode, one was only a block away.  If you've never seen a transformer explode from up close it's an awesome sight.  Needless to say now that neighborhood is pitch black.  Lol, sucks for them.  I have power, *****es. :p

I've been fortunate enough to get a broadside shot for all 5 of my deer (I'm a lucky little bastard) and was able to get each one in-shoulder-lung-heart-lung-shoulder-out. After I got one with my longest shot, we marked the position of our blind and then marked where it died, and had it spit out the distance. 218 yards with a .260 Remington and 8X scope  :D Frankly, I'm proud of that.

The next day my dad took a shot at a deer quartering towards us. He really wanted to get it down since someone had made hamburger out of the front left leg with a slug. The shot hit the lung and liver, but came out past the rear leg. He stank so bad during the hour ride back to camp :P

EDIT: Oh, pig dissection. The hilarity started before we even got the pigs. The teacher was going over a diagram of the digestive system, and she said the pancreas would look like chewed gum. Me and my partner just turned at grinned at eachother; we were both chewing gum. And then she pulled one out from underneath the teacher desk and started to show us how to cut it. The girl next to me said 'How could you kill such a cute little baby pig?!?' to which I replied 'Don't get into a debate on abortion. Not here, not now.' As the teacher tied down the example pigs leg, one of them slipped and yanked off a toe, which went flying across the room, landing on the paper of the girl who'd just been complaining. No ****. As it happens, it was piss easy. my partner let me do all the work with the pig, since he's a bit more squeemish and assumes that hunting deer gives me experience with dissection. It was really easy to identify everything, since the pig was HUGE.

Movie run-time: approximately 2:45.  Worth every minute.

One thing I noticed that was interesting was that the movie didn't use music to build tension as much as it used silence to do the same.  A distinct contrast to other recent movies, notably Inception, that build suspense with liberal application of ominous music.

I saw the same movie, literally less than an hour ago.

Good observation there, I didn't spot that one so clearly. I believe it may have helped if I'd read the book again, since I couldn't remember what on Earth was going on. But this one felt like a proper movie, the characters seemed a little deeper, though at some stages they felt a bit 2D for some reason towards the beginning of the film.

I tell you what though, I didn't like that ending. I knew it was only half a movie, and I guess that's fair enough, but that ending really didn't do it for me.

It's important to feel good about leaving her. I achieve this by altruistic means, make her feel better by making yourself seem like an ass.
Hit on her friends while "drunk", they will either reciprocate, or grass you up. If they choose the latter, simply say you can't help yourself as current GF just doesn't "do it" for you anymore. She will either dump you or work harder to keep you. If she chooses the latter. Then it's time to play the "i don't need no clingy woman cramping my style" card. This is down to individual preference and can take the form of sudden explosive outburts or gradual fading relationship effort.
 
Or you can just let her down honestly and move in with her fit older sister with the nice car. :nod:

Was involved in an accident with my moped. Thanks entirily to myself, I placed myself practicly IN FRONT of that Volkswagen Transporter which subsequently hit me (I was taking a turn to the left and didn't see him coming, stupid me).

The weird thing is that I only got a few scratches and bruises, the moped only needs it's steer replaced, and the car which hit me was only slightly damaged. I was very lucky. And I was wearing a helmet (by law I should) which I noticed helped a great deal, my head hit the bonnet of the car when I was catapulted off my moped, subsequently I landed in the grass.

The people in the car where really nice and supportive.

So in the end I was very very lucky. I did make a stupid mistake, but it all turned out well.

So I'm happy :D

sex is the biggest waste of time and energy that there is. unless you live with a raging nymphomaniac, theres the effort put into getting the damn girl to like you long enough to insert your pork. fortunately for me i spent most of my college days living with a nymphomaniac. the problem with a nympho is she never gets tired of ****ing. you could spend 2 ****ing hours doing the deed, and you're lucky if you can get a half hour break before she wanted more.  with that kinda woman, theres no end to it, at least until her husband got home and even then you had to be sneaky and do it in the kitchen. the only rest was, uh, never.  these days i dont think i want anyone messing with my precious bodily fluids.

cant say that it was bad sex, definately not the worst ive had. its nice to always have someone to go to when things get dry.  then again i cant say it was all that spectacular. the advantage to being a guy is that pretty much anything works. when you get one of those gals who knows what to do, thats just awesome. but for me they are few and far between. i go for what i can get when i can get it.

Lol. I was planning to apply to Syrk, since they're hiring, and I'd heard that TVWP had picked up a few new people, so I was thinking about taking a shot there. And then of course there's BP, joining their team is like a dream of mine, but they're not hiring and the level of FREDding they need is far beyond my calibre. Maybe in a few years, rofl.

EDIT: And yes, no HJ's for me. I'm trying to get away from fast food. Lol.

Urgh...

There are practically no interesting classes next semester. And the one I really wanted to take I can't because it conflicts with a required course. My proposed schedule also doesn't allow me to eat lunch on Monday or Wednesday...

Gah! College! :ick:

Things are very irritatingly busy at camp because of things I cannot say online. I think after this month is over I'll be totally brain dead from a month-long marathon of dodging arrows, getting hit by arrows, and re-directing arrows.

Thankfully its finally toning down. Allowing me to get to things that shoulda been done a long time ago.

On that note expect a highly overdue interview to be posted up tonight.

Reading an Epic Thread in EVE Online forums about the removal of the learning skills. Amazingly and beyond my ability to comprehend, there are people who think they're a good thing.

Quote
"Learning skills kept me in the game after the whoa spaceships wore off!"

If training skills that were totally useless except for more training kept you in the game...I'm pretty sure there's something physiologically wrong with you. Not even psychologically, I mean physically wrong, like your brain is crosswired so boredom produces endomorphins.

Sometimes it's only good from the hammers perspective. The nail doesn't always get banged in straight.
 
 
On similar note- I'll be getting up to all sorts of mischief with my newest facebook friend next week.
 
For those of you who can see my profile, just look at her :D
 
I like to call this time of year, the trust period- single women are emotionally vulnerable to varying degrees, depending on how well you know them. Trust can be built to required levels relatively quickly. Once you're past the acquaintance stage and not too deep into the friend zone, well you know. . . . . Drinks, meal, xmas party etc.
Don't get drunk and likewise be SMART about it. Build experience in the field of 'trapping off' as nothing beats good practice. There's no such thing as bad practice by the way.

I hearby present to the court one of the most damnable lies ever spoken.

 
If you make a mistake and learn from it. . . . . It's not bad practice :D

Most guys don't find out what their mistakes are. That's how they end up being permanently awful kissers. Bad practice. Girls get the advantage of making out with their friends not causing them to be socially outcast forever.

Then tell them. Doesn't matter what it was about, but a lot of people do not realize a lot of their mistakes untill they are pointed out for them. Then they continue to make mistakes. Spiral continues untill person is a social outcast and does not understand why, feels miserable about it, and commits suicide.

Trimmed to 15 000 chars (without spaces) and finally submitted.

Well... worst case, you boot into safe mode, back up anything that's irreplaceable, and then reinstall windows. You might be able to copy that win32k.sys file off of your windows disc and replace the one on your PC, if it's just a case of that being corrupted. Also try googling it. This should probably get its own thread though...

It's amazing what the doctors can do to a human body nowadays. Or how much the human body can be tinkered with and we can still live.

My mums fiancé was diagnosed to have a tumour in his digestive organs on this summer. Not the worst kind but not that good either.

Anyways, after a few months of radiation therapy he was operated on last week and is now feeling much better. The operation itself on the other hand sounded quite wild to me.
Apparently, in order to get to the place where the tumour was the surgeons had to cut one of his lungs half and when that was done they had to remove a part of his gullet in order to remove the tumour.
Then they stretched his stomach and replaced the missing gullet part with that streched stomach... soo his stomach is now "longer".

But he lives and is feeling well. So all is good.

Eating on the other hand can be a bit different from now on.

And to top it all off I've been accepted into project teams. What a fine day to be me.

Strangely enough, its only when I play battles when I'm fighting for my life that I have the most fun. I wonder if that makes me a sadist.

I haven't bothered with skirmish since I haven't managed to beat the second Aeon mission. I can't figure it out, they never give you a chance to build up a base, since you can't go anywhere without getting attacked by turrets and decimating the small force you start with. And the turrets defend the only resource points.

that's what I was trying to do. I was trying it in the Atlantis, so maybe I just didn't have enough fuel for a noticeable change.

I can't figure out how to change orbit plane in Orbiter.

burn normal or antinormal

yea, the space shuttle is huge and doesnt have very much fuel for the oms. it gives you enough for insertion into the desired orbit and enough to get you back into the atmo. you have to wait for a launch window and proceed along the correct heading for the orbit you're trying to get to. the oms doesnt have the fuel to do much more than a minor correction (a few degrees max) to the orbital plane. the space shuttle doesn't allow for much margin for error.

use the map mfd to both find a launch window and to figure out your heading during launch. i havent played in some time so i cant remember the whole procedure.

I'm so ****ing angry. Party I left last night at ten ended in a fight and cops being called after some wannabe graffiti artists/non conformists/gangbangers started a fight because they were asked to leave (half weren't even invited). Particularly angry about the fact that the host, a mate of mine, got the brunt of it.

In my case it has. I went from XP to 7 so I wasn't testing any alpha releases called Vista, but 7 seems to have worked out most of the kinks. I like KDE, so I like 7's interface that's ripped off from KDE, and I've only had 4 BSODs so far.

I've been way too busy of late. 3 weeks at work, two days at home, then two weeks in Vietnam (which was awesome, but there was sooo much stuff I should have been doing back home. Now I'm back the other day, got one day at home (during which I spent about half of it in the office anyway) and now I've just started another 3 week stint. Home from work, straight on a boat with our drillers for a christmas do (got the invite, not sure if I'll attend - it'd be my first corporate perk if I did though sooo...).

anyway, the gist is I've done no chrrissy shopping, got no idea what I'm doing for NYE, still have to submit my biol project, and I don't have a free day before about the 22nd of December. Woo! :D

Statistically, I have a high probability of killing myself regardless of whether I seek help first or not.

I'm packed for my weekend of awesome rudeness and dvd's and washing up. . . . After the inevitability of me cooking a kickass meal. I think I may make roast duck with grilled ham and roast veg.
 
That'll get me laid. :)
 
Also need to buy booze.

last time i tried duck i ended up shooting the wrong species and ended up with a rather fishy duck. took a week for that smell to go away. i ended up sacrificing it to the dumpster gods.

i often find that humans are temporary problems. besides suicidal people dont consider individual problems as a reason to die (the ones that do, i call morons), instead they look at the sum of all lifes events and realize it can only go downhill from here. i once new a rather hot gal that wanted to kill herself, but everyone talked her down and she didnt, 5 years later she was a raving meth head with herpies and butt ugly from repeated beatings and rapings, i think maybe we shouldn't have talked that one down.  frankly if they want to off themselves, we should allow them and even help them. i think the only reason we dont is so that we can turn them into a slave caste, where we make them work ****ty jobs and feed them mind numbing meds. like the spaced out zombie lady at the grocery store (every store seems to have one), spending the rest of their life in a daze filling in the unwanted gaps in the work schedule. its sick really. i cant stand to see society exploiting the mentally ill like that.

thats the other thing. i dont like people insisting other people's personal problems are temporary without even having an understanding of what they are and why we have them. im certainly not going to tell people what mine are. if you ask me if im ok il probably flat out lie to you to get you off my back. theres nothing temporary about mental illness, they are no more curable than aids right now. you can learn to live with it and dampen the symptoms with pills and therapy, but it certainly dont make them go away. the only thing that makes existence remotely acceptable to me right now is that i can leech money off the government and distract myself from reality with lame entertainments, illegal drugs, booze, and sometimes sex with equally insane people.

It's pretty close for a low ebb.

I suppose for me when I'm on a low ebb, it's like I remember that 'Hope' and 'Trust' are nothing more than words we use as an excuse to not give up. You can't find them on the periodic chart because they do not physically exist.

Sometimes it's really hard to deal with, as you seem to be finding it right now, other times it's not so bad. It depends as much on external influences as internal ones.

Just try to remember that, whilst you'll never shake it completely, you can do things to reduce the situation, phsychiatrists don't hold all the answers, much of it is up to you, and it's never easy, but getting out early is never the answer. If you can't cling onto hope, then cling onto vindication, I find it a great motivator at times.

People are lying, greedy, lazy douchebags. (∀x ∈ A, P(x))
The set of all psychiatrists is a subset of the set of all people. (B ⊆ A)
Any property of all elements in a set A is a property of all elements in all subsets of A. (B ⊆ A ∧ ∀x ∈ A, P(x) → ∀x ∈ B, P(x))
Therefore, psychiatrists are lying, greedy, lazy douchebags. (∀x ∈ B, P(x))

I wouldn't go that far, because that would probably cause more problems than it would solve. But the government should have more power to protect children. Whole system's a mess, but blowing up brown kids and arbitrarily keeping people from smoking random ****ing plants they grow in their own backyards is much more important is much more important to the ignorant retards who vote for other ignorant retards every damn election.

Don't worry about it, it shows you're human. So maybe your reaction is more emphatic than someone else's, but that doesn't make you any worse than them, it simply makes you different. That's not a crime. There's a song by ZZTop called Rough Boy which always leaves me sad, not because of the song itself, but because I used to listen to it over and over whilst playing Ranarama on an Amstrad CPC in the mid 80's. It's more nostalgia than anything else.

All of my music makes me sad lately, regardless of its tone. But I hate it when a stupid song can rip out all my guts like that with no warning.

The worst part is when you've spent four years playing the music, and then you hear it again knowing that you'll never be able to play it again.

Computer upgraded. I went from a Pentium E6300 @ 3.7GHz to a Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 3.3GHz. Also went into a new tower and swapped for a modular power supply. But, now something is clicking in it. Probably a fan.

EDIT: Definitely a fan. The CPU fan, in fact. Temperatures are good/great (36oC) but that fan needs to be replaced. It's annoying since it's brand new.

EDIT2: Temporary solution: running the Hyper 212+ passive. Temperatures skyrocketed (to ~55-60oC).

Yes. Finishing it on Insanity is the most fulfilling thing evar.

Vanguard is my favourite class, personally.

And you can import saves on 360 as well.

Ew, you're stuck with the most boring class. Oh well, get the Widow when you get the chance. I think Infiltrator and Sentinel are a bit more fun.

I found Soldier to be... well, a lot easier to play than the other classes. Never tried Sentinel, and Infiltrator was pretty fun. The novelty of Infiltrator wore off for me after a while though. Have you played as a Vanguard, Battuta? If so, what did you think? I found it insanely fun and surprisingly satisfying to play. Quite challenging at other times (eg platform battle on the Collector Cruiser), but still fun.

Pfft, throwing people around the room isn't my thing. :P I'd much rather pick team mates who do cool stuff and take command. Although I'll playthrough on a different class once I'm done with this one. Although I'm not sure if that's really so reasonable, seeing as this thing is so bloody long, and Bearstrike may want this back so he can swap it with another mate for a game he can't be bothered to buy. :P

I've played eight hours and a bit at the moment. Found it just as interesting as ME1, although I still think the conversations as a whole feel a bit...awkward in some places, "oh hey, how are you? tell me about this bloke. oh, and let's talk about this completely unrelated to the conversation, yet story integral bloke." I guess it's a game and all, but eh.

Vanguard is definitely one of the hardest classes to play on Insanity, but I've seen a few players who can really pull it off.

Soldier is kind of boring because its main attack type is a simple DPS weapon and its class power is brokenly good. Adrenaline Rush makes most of the game pretty trivial.

I had a ton of fun with a Sentinel w/Assault Armor. The mix of biotic and tech powers, and the Kasumi DLC submachine gun that's about as good as an AR means you get the most fun parts of soldier and engineer plus a smattering of adept, and you don't have to spend a ton of time in cover because, hey, assault armor!

i find that the female sex drive really starts to kick in around age 35. i have to say thats the age i like em at. young ones are nice, their lady parts arent worn out yet (usually), and they can be fun, but nothing beats a horney 35 year old.

Late 30's isn't exactly old, but I suppose from the point of view of a 19 year old it might be considered as such.

For me, it's like Homosexuality, I wouldn't personally indulge, but what two consenting adults get up to in their own time is not something I really feel I have a right to judge.

Of course you have a right to judge.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: Flipside on December 06, 2010, 02:29:10 pm
Not really, I have an opinion, but that does not neccesarily translate into a right to pass judgement. Just because I personally think something about an activity does not mean that is the only possible or correct interpretation of it, I cannot put myself into the mind of the person I am judging and say 'this is right/wrong'. No-one is trying to push me into doing it, and if it makes those involved happy, then I am content with that.

What's the difference between having an opinion and passing judgement? You can be polite and keep it to yourself, or you can be an ass and proselytize. Who cares, as long as you don't try to legislate it.

So, yeah, old people having sex is *gross.* gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross

does that power supply vent out of the bottom?  i've always wondered how bottom-PSU mount cases get away with that.  i expect there's vents under there, but there still wouldn't be a lot of room underneath to let the hot air out.
No, the power supply blows hot air out the back. My system isn't THAT high-powered but the majority of the air is drawn in from under the power supply (from inside the chassis; very little from the vents underneath the chassis). I'm not particularly worried; the fan is still on low while at 100% load (on both CPU & GPU).

yeah i felt a little better when i had a 28 year old in the intro to fortran class i taught, and when i met with one of my physics professors who did post-doc with IBM working on vacuum-tube machines :D.  last time i went to this guy's office, he was "upgrading" a PC he said he'd bought in '86.  the tower was the biggest damn thing i've ever seen in my life.  whatever the graphics interface was, it was pre-pci. was fully loaded with 128 KB of memory, no hard drive, a 5-inch floppy (i think, whatever those ones that were actually floppy were), and a processor that was probably clocked in kilohertz.  :lol:

if the mobo was vintage it will have used only ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) addin slots

I remember my old CGA graphics card lol, the machine was a little newer than I think you are describing. an IBM 80286 I think it started out life with a half or a full meg of memory (dad had upgraded that at least once) a 30 meg hard drive, 1 5'1/4 inch floppy as well as a 3 1/2 high density I think when I got it from dad when he had finished with it the OS was DOS 5, and pc speaker only for audio.  when I finished with that case it was 386, VGA or SVGA, SB Pro and a CD-ROM drive  :lol:

the thing i remember the most about it apart from the shear mass of the case (probably had a 2x2 foot footprint in a desktop form) was the massive flip switch on the side of the PSU near the back.

this is the closest I can find to that iron clad beast but the monitor is older (i think but then dad could have replaced it) and the spec listed it as having EGA not the older standard CGA I had (http://www.vintage-computer.com/ibmpcat.shtml)

The first computer I owned was a ZX81, bought in '82, I even bought the 16K Ram-pack, bringing the computer up to a colossal 17K of memory a couple of year later, but the pack was too big for the keyboard, and lifted it off the desk slightly, causing the whole thing to crash if you pressed a key too hard...

Yes, t'is unfortunate. I'm exploring planets like crazy to buy all of them on my second playthrough.

Which brings me to my current life event that warrants mentioning. ME2 has compelled me to sit through another 20+ hours of playing her. But now I face a crisis; to romance Miranda and skip Kelly, or resist Miranda's perfect body and all-round ****ing awesomeness to get with the redhead.

Yeah, I just left it as the square root.  I knew the answer was going to be just slightly >1, but they wanted the right sig figures, so there wasn't much I could do.  Just hope my TA's in a good mood and doesn't take much off.  At least I know I have an A in that class if I don't **** up on the final (it's 1st semster chem, so it shouldn't be too bad).  My Calc 2 final on the other hand... :shaking:

i applied for a new checking account, but i'm going to be dropped from all my classes next week if i haven't paid the two payments we've already missed.

well its not done yet. its pretty big, and i finished the gearbox and track systems for the x and z axes. still needs a work platform. the 3rd axis will be to move the tool up and down, and that will require some more work. probably should get the flex attachment for my dremel, so that i dont have to support its weight with the y axis track system. its kinda getting to where i need to get on bricklink and order more parts, or take some other stuff apart.

[EDIT] wait, you just mean using multiple textures? 'Cause that doesn't sound too difficult, it's not like I'd be UVing the same polygons again.

I think I miss my old job. I had no choice to leave it, but being with the same people for three years is bound to be hard to leave I guess.

My new paycheque though is enough to keep me from thinking about going back.

I'm afraid of the stacks. It's not so much that I don't like the quiet, but I feel like I write too loudly and shuffle papers too loudly and at any moment, some caffeine-loaded nut is going to beat me to death with his calculator for it.

I've also observed this. Usually the girlf's friends try to get to know you for reasons pertaining to the relationship, I've noticed, and perhaps get something out of you. Some of them also like to keep an eye on you to make sure you're not doing something you shouldn't be doing. Although with a custom title like mine, I guess that's justified. :P

Also Mongoose, you have my sympathy. :(

the exam was on dec.13th so i went to look at what time it was at and

me know if this is actually the date we were supposed to write on.

Gah. For a few minutes today I decided to drop by the Bungie.net forums after a three-year break from them. I am incredibly glad I left (I still love Halo though). Those forums contain almost nothing but thirteen-year-olds whining about the game and other thirteen-year-olds telling them to **** off. It's the most immature community I have ever seen. HLP is decent. The majority of HLP is intelligent. I know we have our rough spots, but those are mostly confined to GD, which is easy enough to avoid. This community is awesome.

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: Nuke on December 19, 2010, 01:48:31 am
well i cant say it was horrible. the mechs were sprite based, and i couldnt recognize any of them. the controls are kinda simpler than i would suspect. theres no torso twist for example. if you hold down a (i can only assume its a) then you can move the reticle to aim your guns within the confines of the screen. this lets you target parts of the mech, or mechs that have their jets on. jump jets work in a rather ridiculous way. you turn them on and you can hover for a really long time. enemy mechs like to hover as soon as you get close and go outside of your firing arc, you have to either back off or engage your own jets to shoot at them some more.

weapons take forever to kill something. mrms seem to be the best, but you end up fighting so many mechs that you can run out of ammo. even using 6 (the max number of weapons you can equip) ppcs it takes a long time to kill anything. im kinda stuck on some base defence mission where the base is surrounded by assault mechs and you cant destroy them fast enough to save the base, they destroy it after only a few seconds.

the game is very stingy with mission pay, most of the time they only give you enough c-bills to fix your mech, and you never really make any money. when accepting a mission you have the option of requesting more pay for the mission. if your request is in reason they might give you a little more, but if you ask for too much you will insult them and they offer half the original amount. you usually take so much damage in the mission and end up spending all your pay on repairing your mech, and theres none left for upgrades. to buy a new mech you have to pay it all up front and cant cash in your existing mech to help buy the new one. i usually just sell all the armor, weapons, and equipment to cover some of the cost, then after you have the mech sell the old one to upgrade your weapons.

the game is really hard, i dont think i could beat it without using the save state feature (hell im not even convinced i can beat the game with it). the game allows you to save between missions, but i like save states better.

still it aint bad for an snes game. it makes me want to play the pc version.

never trust any computer, any software, any hardware, any person, or anything else to back up your files. the only way to be sure is to manually copy them to somewhere else, preferably to a device that can be removed and put in a safe place, or in my case, to many devices in a bunch of slightly less than safe places.

I have to wonder why people still trust Adobe software to be anything more than a steaming pile of crap. Seriously. I remember dealing with Dreamweaver and Flash in an old crappy web class- it was horrible. Why anyone would use Adobe software for anything other than torture I don't know.

Always back up onto your own PC, an external drive, DVDs/CDs and a flash drive for the really critical/small stuff.

The file on my flash drive corrupted, the file on the backup server didn't do it's job, and the school only gives us 200 MB on our student directories (they only want us keeping word files there), and I didn't want to waste the precious time that wasn't being in school by doing schoolwork at home.

EDIT: Also, the teacher for the art half of the course refused to requisition anything other then Macs for this class, and he won on the basis that they were somehow cheaper ( :confused:). Now, that wouldn't be bad in and of itself, but I'm pretty sure Adobe and Apple go out of their way to make their products incompatible.

What if there have been countless races, stretching back into infinity, and like the nine cities of Troy, each built on the rubble of one that came before... each, annihilated by the Reapers...

OK, OK, it's not exact but the parallels are quite astonishing. :P

So...... Mass Effect 2 up next. Been a while since I enjoyed a game this much. Very good writing and negligible bugs. Except that one where my crew always got trapped coming out of the Normandy's airlock. Hurr durr.

Replace "the Reapers" or "the Shivans" with "the Inhibitors from Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space series of books" and it'll still work. An alien race periodically destroying everything remotely civilized is far from original. But still quite kool.

Or at least a bad copy. Did you see the teaser for ME3? I mean what for build a giant Mass relay when you can reach your destination without it in just a few years? That's kinda the biggest problem I see there. It makes the whole main-plot of the first game look somewhat redundant :nervous:

bad copy

IMO neither of those is correct. Like JeffVader said, they're the latest incarnation of a pretty standard SF theme, and they are executed very well IMO. Well, less so if my fears about ME2 (from the ME3 thread) are confirmed, but even then they're a well-done antagonist.

And haven't seen the ME3 trailer, haven't even played ME2 yet, so dunno about that. Although I think the signal to the Keepers and then to the Reapers themselves- remember, they're dormant- was more crucial than just the transportation itself.

Vertically long signatures are more annoying, if you ask me. You get used to keeping the cursor somewhere on the side so that it doesn't hit any signatures.

4) sent a PM to get something nagging out of my head.

we got to open our presents last night. somewhat of a necessity having family members on opposite sides of a body of water, requiring a boat and a good timing of the tides, so we got to celebrate it while there over here. but thanks to starcraft 2 and the fact that one of the gifts was a bottle of tequila, im not posting about it until now. me and the brother in law had a contest that required us to take a shot every time we lost a base (main or expansion) in 4vs4 multi. that went on for the duration of the bottle. nobody vomited this time (to the best of my knoledge), so it was less entertaining than last time.

i got some booze, a knife, some pants, socks, an led flashlight, yet another rc flying saucer (seriously i get one every year despite the fact that i can build r/c vehicles out of spare parts from my electronics projects), and lego model #8258. my sister bought us an entire palette of bulk consumables from her favorite mail order warehouse (including cheesecake and a massive stack of dr pepper and other noms), which is good due to the astronomical cost of groceries on this ****ing island, and also because it frees up my cashflow for other things, like dope, beer, and electronics parts. im informed that theres still a few gifts stuck in the mail.

so I finished Mass Effect again. About to start ME2.

One question- sometimes, seemingly at random in ME1, my weapon will overheat and not cool back down until I finish the mission or reload a save (any save, even one after the weapon overheated). Is this a bug? It could conceivably be trying to model the effects of a part of the weapon actually breaking in some way because of the heat, but it seems to be random and savefiles don't track it (as evidenced by the fact that reloading resets it). Either way it got frakking annoying on boss fights like the big Saren one at the end.

Anyway on to ME2 :D

I've noticed that, too. I think it's the effect of an enemy tech power, I'm not entirely sure though.
The weapons usually go back to normal after there are no more enemy contacts for me.

BTW, the latest episode of PSG just mind-****ed me. o_o

It's a bug that may disappear if you reload (the game ;) ) or exchange the overheated weapon. Sometimes it was very annoying.
But can't happen in ME2 because there you use normal bullets (with a far-fetched explanation :P )

Visited my Grandmother so I didn't get to grocery shop until just a bit ago...

to find it had been cleaned out by the winterocalypse fraktards.  Seriously this isn't South Carolina or England, this is New England, we have the technology and the the training to deal with a little snow.  I just drove from Arlington to Reading in the middle of it, over hill and highway without a problem.  The plow trucks and sand shakers are going to be hitting the roads and this is a only a one night storm.  The last snow storm that the roads weren't cleared by the next day was thirty years ago, yet every time there is a hint of a winter warning people flock to the stores and buy up all the damn supplies.  I just want stuff for lunch dammit, quit buying for the end times!

I should stand out in the driveway and let my fiery wrath melt the snow so i don't have to shovel.

So, not only do I come back from vacation after breaking up with my girlfriend, but I lose the key to my truck...call a locksmith to open it at the train station, and find out just as the locksmith pulls up that someone had smashed my passenger side window and made off with my garage door opener, OBD code reader, stereo, and CB radio.

So I call a cab to get back to the house to go get the spare key, and realize halfway back that the garage door opener was the only way for me to get in the house.  So I call the maintenance guy for my neighborhood...and it takes him two hours to get there.  Two hours.  Of standing in 20 degree weather and a strong wind.

Oh, and the locksmith still charged me a $40 service charge for just coming out to the station.

FML.

the Reapers need us, about as much as a spacefaring race relies on their own tech to survive.
I like what they did with the

Protheans/Collectors.
That's a horrible fate for a species- I wonder if they're still conscious and know what they are/were.
Spoiler:
I don't really buy that they 'couldn't' make a Prothean Reaper for some reason.
They manipulate DNA like we manipulate transistors- they would have found a way.

Got my whole team out and survived. I'll probably use this save file for ME3. I may play both of them over again sometime.

Ah yes, "I should go", the immortal dialogue allegedly overused by Commander Shepard. We have dismissed that claim.

A friend of mine asked me to go downtown with her and a bunch of friends for NYE. Normally I don't "Party," but for NYE I would have made an exception. Sadly, I work that night. Though she said then afterwords, that just us should just go get drinks sometime, then.  I declined, because I don't drink. Then, further, she pressed that we could just go get drinks of a non-alcoholic beverage at a bar or something, as a compromise. So I accepted.

I'm a little taken aback because this kind of **** just doesn't happen to someone who would rather make a cool logo in Illustrator by himself instead of going down clubbing for a night of fun. Actually, the only time I do get out lately is either when I'm going laser tagging (Which I do religiously) or on the walk to work.

Well, not me. :P

well i guess you're just too cool

look, people are going to argue about things if they want to. respect their right to do that; they're not hurting you.

besides, it takes like two minutes to type a page long reply
:rolleyes:

You're not going to be phased by anything I say, so I'm going to leave with 'there are far better uses of NYE/NYD, than arguing over. the. internet.'

EDIT: Okay, that was probably in the wrong tone of voice, sorry for that. But basically, you lot can sit over there and discuss morality and philosophy and I don't have a problem with it, I'll just keep my opinion quiet. :P

I only vomit if I drink some beer, I can do 700ml of vodka and while I forget how I got home, (was via shopping cart) and am badly hung over for the next 2 days, I didn't vomit.
also, on friend-zone:  it what happens when they're "in love" with their friend.  I'll admit I had that, but I got over the crush instead of losing a rather decent friend.

at least its not a long essay about an unfamiliar topic and a short essay about a familiar one. i had many a report run over the size requirements because i was so familiar with the subject i had to cram everything i understood into it. i remember i made it through political since on a stack of half finished assignments that didnt make any sense when i turned them in, oddly i received a b in that class.

Even when it comes to subjects I'm not familiar with, I can write essays that exceed the word length. Like the one on rainforests I did two years ago. I got a B for that one because of some damage control measures taken in buffing up my list of references.

The guys who write Deathwatch just gave an epic "FUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKK YOOOOOU" to their playerbase.

The entire setting is doomed. Not the Tyranid kinda-sorta doomed that they had previously, since Tyranids occasionally get beat up and sent home without any cookies. No, this a whole other level of doomed, a Rocks Fall Everyone Dies waiting in the wings for their entire setting. The main fortress and logistical center of the player's nominal faction is built on a world housing a sleeping legion of the UNDEAD TERMINATOR ROBOTS that are the Necrons. Nothing the players do will ever matter, nothing they accomplish is worth anything, all of it is dust in the wind when the silver legion marches.

That'll get people playing!

The guys who write Deathwatch just gave an epic "FUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKK YOOOOOU" to their playerbase.

The entire setting is doomed. Not the Tyranid kinda-sorta doomed that they had previously, since Tyranids occasionally get beat up and sent home without any cookies. No, this a whole other level of doomed, a Rocks Fall Everyone Dies waiting in the wings for their entire setting. The main fortress and logistical center of the player's nominal faction is built on a world housing a sleeping legion of the UNDEAD TERMINATOR ROBOTS that are the Necrons. Nothing the players do will ever matter, nothing they accomplish is worth anything, all of it is dust in the wind when the silver legion marches.

That'll get people playing!
Well, if it isn't completely grimdark and hopeless it isn't Warhammer 40,000.

I just got back from watching Tangled.  Entertaining movie.  I sure got a bucket of laughs from it.

Flynn, wielding a frying pan, engages in a swordfight with a horse (which has no rider) while a dam threatens to burst, unleashing the river which would sweep everyone downstream.  He yells to Rapunzel, who just swung to safety with the use of her hair and several rickety wooden mining constructs, "This is the strangest thing I've ever done!"

It was hilarious.  Probably my favorite part of the whole movie.

Yeah, I remember doing a bunch of them as a kid (in fact, I think I may have had the world's 37th largest Air Force in my room at some stage... ;) ), but patience was the thing I really lacked, and why a lot of them had paintjobs of sub-par quality.

I've finished the model and currently waiting on 'Glossy Sea Blue' paint to start the bulk of the painting work. In the meantime, I've done first and second coat black paint on the wheels, propeller, and a strip going from the top of the engine cowling to the start of the cockpit.

I've also got to start using sprays instead of brushes. :P

Tell her that for all that America is inundated in snow, Scotland is cold and icy at the moment, without the mild respite some snow would actually bring. She's best off staying there. (Unless she's from the area around Edinburgh, then she's probably fine)

So, I've had a moderately interesting last couple of weeks:
My first term in the proper electrical engineering: hated it, and it hated me, 2 D's and 2 F's.
So reassessing my choices, I've planned to switch to Bachelor Of Technology (Automotive & vehicle technology) program.
I'll have some transferable credits from Eng 1st year, which is nice, means I haven't totally wasted a year and a half.
But for this term, I'm in average damage control, so I'm taking a pair of geography courses and French Revolution to WW2 European History, figuring they'll be good for rounding out the mind, as I haven't not had a course with strong math component since highschool.  They Look interesting.
So yeah, the engineering student with hummanities courses.
I've been going through coursebooks, jumping through interdepartmental bureaucratic hoops and the like for a week.
But I think I've settled into this now.

Now for something completely different:
As typing this, listing to satellite radio, I though LaRoue was coming on, and was, like, sweet.  But then It was katy perry and I was, like, meh.

Ok.  So, #1 I just brought my new baby boy home from the hospital two days ago.  Yea!  Major plus points here, cannot even begin to describe how glad I am to have him home with us.  Ten fingers, ten toes, all the plumbing works, voracious apetite, and fiery red hair to boot!

#2, the cold that has been bouncing back and forth within my family since the beginning of December has apparently decided to invite a sinus infection for extra company.  I can hardly breathe.  I popped into the doc-in-the-box and got on some anti-biotics.  Doc also got me some cortico-steroid spray for the first time in years.  Hopefully that will keep this from happening again.

#3, I am hoping this is related to #2, but... man it is freaking weird!  My audio perception seems to have shifted down-pitch by about a semitone.  Everything sounds really strange to me.  I can hear fine, but every song I know sounds like it is being played back on a tape deck that is just slightly too slow.  At first I thought that maybe something had happened to my car audio player (where I first noticed it), but now I am noticing it with ring tones, voices, and all sorts of other stuff too.  Can a sinus infection do that??  I mean, sure, I can see a sinus infection plugging stuff up so you can't hear well, but pitch shifting?  Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Yup, it's happened to me, and it is very likely related to the sinus problems, without wanting to get into too much detail, the extra content can do wierd things to the resonance of sounds within your skull.

That said, it never hurts to get a second opinion, especially with a new babe in the house.

Congratulations, by the way :)

He's only been home for a couple days.  So, I have yet to reach that "where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?" point of stupefying exhaustion.  But I know it's coming, and I remember it well from last time.  I'd like to claim we're better prepared this time around, but that would be a lie.  We have a 4-year old bouncing off the walls, and she wants, bless her, to help.  This is both a really good thing and, knowing my daughter, a little horrifying.  The task I have set before myself is to keep finding little ways she can "help" without jeopardizing Baby's safety (or my sanity).  I don't want to discourage her, but her enthusiasm is going to keep all of us living on the edge of our seats for awhile.   :p

i finally got my arduino nano in the mail. this thing is tiny. its about the size of my thumb and can do everything the larger version can. you can program it without any additional hardware. it also has an extra 2 adc channels over the Duemilanove that i already have. whats more it can be used in a breadboard like the mcu from the duemilanove without needing any external parts (no crystal and no voltage regulation), and it doesn't take up much more space. its not really shield compatible, but i dont plan to use shields with it (i mostly got it to process data from a cheap rf module, to act as a receiver in r/c applications). pretty cool little gadget.

Currently discovering there are still bugs in Sword of the Stars, one of which completely broke a combat fleet's ability to use their weapons and cost me a rather important battle. They started in ceasefire, and even when toggled out they refused to attack the planet unless their weapons were manually fired. Eventually, when an enemy fleet showed up, they wouldn't attack that either.

You'd think this sort of thing would get fixed...

It doesn't. I can't even search for the bug on the forums because the words to search for are "too common" and the developer wiki doesn't even have a list of common bugs and workarounds. What the hell kind of show are they running here?

It's PC >> Console round 2!

Not hardly. I was speaking from my original SotS experience back then. I got the complete pack off steam on a whim. (20 bucks; overpriced, but not Kereboros' fault I suspect. Paradox Interactive loves to stupidly overprice everything they sell.) Back with the original version, all was well relatively speaking in that while you might be tempted to murder someone over the art design and inability to automate simpler tasks, there were no showstopping bugs.

Unfortunately, it seems that with the expansions in place there are. And when I put in "fleet will not fire on planet" in the forum search and get told that every single word of it has been rejected as "too common" to search for, even in a group. The Kereboros forums aren't much bigger than HLP. I don't think we even eliminate common terms from search.

Honestly don't know if the devs are the dicks others have made them out to be, and sort of hope not since there's a decent game under the gunk. But it smells funny when this happens and when the tech support forum doesn't seem to list any known issues within the program, just things related to graphical problems.

EDIT: This is getting kind of creepy. Even trying to search Google on the subject leads to nothing. I could Google Search obscure Steel Panthers: World at War bugs and find useful info. (Or at least someone commenting on them, like the perennial artillery assignment no longer working one.)

Watching adywan's ANH edit.

the colour correction and effect tweaks so far are excellent.
some sounds feel a little unnecessary though, such as a beeping in the escape pod
in the end, it was pretty good, using EP3 music for the saber battle was surprisingly sweet

I've just completed the new version of SuperTuxKart (http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net). My eyes are doing the shimmy, my hands are aching and my Mac has suddenly slowed down a lot.

While playing, I found a small glitch, probably caused by my playing it for too long. That wall of fire up ahead is not supposed to be there.

You're right. We should implement realistic interstellar combat and newtonian physics as well. We'll have to change all the weapons so they're realistic- who ever heard of subluminal lasers? In fact, almost all the effect will have to be refactored for teh sake of realism. Can't have anything unrealistic in FS now can we?

Agreed, it rather annoys me when people say that they pulled the "religion" aspects out of nowhere for the last two seasons. They'd clearly been building up to it all along (What did you honestly think was going on with Baltar?)

I don't have to like it, but it wasn't awful, I enjoyed it until the last episode, which was a bit lame.

There are strong and weak bits, but if you've finished season two, you owe it to yourself to watch the first three of season three. Bear McCreary starts doing some really really cool music stuff in three, too...

I think you should finish the series. Just don't expect the second half to be taut and coherent like the first half. The latter half contains a few really beautiful, lyrical interjections separated by wildly uneven choppy bits or mere banality. Watch it for the moments and the music, but don't expect it all to come together.

Season 3 is where McCreary really finds his voice with the music. The soundtrack starts being a more than just a really great addition to the show, and the rendition of the Adama theme during the Exodus arc when Donut-Lee and Mustache-Adama have their scene together is just plain great, to say nothing of the way he works in the themes for the characters from the thing through to the [nonsensical climactic moment]...

Yes, I am a Bear McCreary Fanboy. If you're careful to avoid spoilers on newer entries, you should check out his blog (http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=30), which has scene-by-scene score breakdowns of every episode in seasons 3 and 4...

My chest keeps me warm in winter. If i dont shave for a week or two my facial hair bridges the gap between my barnet and the chest rug. Which in turn is pretty much a torso covering mass of raw testosterone as evidenced by butlins pics available to those of you willing to trapse through GD and dig them out.


Edit 6 I always shave my face. Wind chill is no excuse for a lapse in professional turnout.

Depends. One year it was 70 through January and then snowed in April. Some years it is sweatshirt weather all winter. Some years there's two feet of snow out of nowhere. Our biggest problem is usually when there is a lot of cold rain and then it freezes overnight and all our powerlines start snapping and all the roads turn into big sheets of hard black ice and branches start coming down on houses and ****.

Not always true. It's never their BUSINESS, but they care. If I was 18, and dating someone who was 80, it'd be LEGAL...but I'd still attract a lot of negativity

11 and 8.  That's what puts people off to it, actually, is that they can't get past the grade level difference when the age difference is what actually matters here.

Yes. Get something better than Mibbit. ChatZilla's good, but there are other options if you don't use Firefox or Windows.

I thought you used to use IceChat or HydraChat, Snail. Why the switch to Mibbit?

IceChat (which is what I used to use) randomly decided to stop working one day. mIRC (which I used before IceChat) was pretty good, but given the number of free clients out there I didn't want to pay the random registration fee after the trial period expired. I couldn't be bothered to get another IRC client so I just went with Mibbit. So now Mibbit has decided to go for a wank...

PEMDAS.

20 - 7 x 2
or
20 - 14 = 6
and we're all pedobears.

On the other hand, the typical way...

My minimum = (20/2)+7 = 17
My maximum = (20-7)*2 = 26

It's the same acceptable range.

Fencing got postponed until next week, so went bowling instead.  Bowled a 95 and a 101.  Hijinks with cadre of best friends commenced concurrently, and didn't end until about five minutes ago (five hours after commencement).

No homework, good day.

I pissed off Turambar by deciding to remain friends with some of his friends even though he threatened to dump them as a result. I told him if he did that they would be better off without him anyway.

Being flirty and stuff with no intention or even hope of following through is strangely refreshing and entertaining.

Especially when the other party equally jokingly reciprocates.

That's the right mindset to actually succeed. It's how I go in every single time. If you over-bake a situation, women can smell it. . . . .  Like fear.


Apart from the hope, actually i'd say you need blind faith in yourzelf, not to a point of being egotistical. That just pisses on the fires of passion. But you definitely need to hide the intention. At least with the good ones. Until you progress in the mutual comfort scale. With the less desirable elwments AKA slags. Blatant intent and brash bravado is like catnip.

Then say that, but any more 'generic skank' comments or calling him a 'jerk' because he asked an opinion is not only incredibly rude to people that you have never met, but is assured to bring great wrath down upon you.

Maybe in the US it's perfectly acceptable to insult and berate people's love-interests, I don't know, but in the UK, it is, quite literally, the best way to get punched in the teeth. It's certainly precisely the right way to get onto the bad side of the UK Moderators and Admins here.

No, I'm being serious. I've slept with people and regretted it and then regretted it even more when they started telling other people about it. It gets on my nerves when people go around showing off specific people they've slept with by name or by photo.

The idea of the girl being a love interest is pretty well precluded by what I said above. She's obviously just a breathing fleshlight to him that he'll replace in a few days or so.

I'm sure Dekker has the good form to tell his lady that her picture is being ogled by a bunch of decade-old-video-game players. :D

He's also mentioned that the girl is his girlfriend, I believe, on the pictures thread. And as far as I can remember, it's usually only women he's involved with whose pictures come up in here. I can see where you're coming from, but the way I'm reading it, you're making him out to be a bit more lacking in morals than he appears to be (hard, I know :P ).

He also posted a picture of MILF in the pictures thread.

I don't care that he uses girls for sex. I do that too. I don't even mind hearing about it, but like I said before, I get an instant gut reaction when I see people post pictures of their new lay or go around IRL with their name.

Thing is Zack, he's not asking you to judge his relationships, and calling her a skank because of the way that you percieve him as behaving is a strange way to react to that behaviour to say the least.

You don't like it, that's fine, you even managed to state your opinion without insulting anyone once you'd had it pointed out to you, but any more personal attacks from anyone in this thread and I'll lock it so fast that you won't even hear the key turn.

thats it, fuel the rockets and open the silos, the world needs to meet its end.

the world is too full of perverts. why the **** does everything have to revolve around sex. you cant even talk to a girl or complement her looks without being flagged as a raging pervert looking for a quick ****. and sure there are guys who think as women as mere sex objects, but blindly assuming they all do is just as bad. its amazing how "look who im dating" becomes perceived as "look who im banging". yes, people want sex (and dekker has his reputation :D ), but its not the only thing they want. maybe you need to consider that if you perceive something innocent as something dirty maybe the problem is that you are the pervert.

as far as dekker's shenanigans go, sometimes i question who's more at fault, him or the women who throw themselves at him. women flock to guys who are already in relationships. seems women flock to me when im in a relationship, and i dont have dekker's looks. they avoid me at any other time. i kinda think that women self-identify themselves as being some kind of sex object, so they put up walls which block out everyone that does not know how to get through them. its sad really. i can kind of understand where dekker comes from, promiscuous relations is common among war vets. i knew a 65 year old nam vet who was about the same, sleeping with a new gal every week. i can only assume whats wrong with iamzack, though im pretty sure something is wrong with her. im not just bashing the ladies here, some guys can be pretty sick ****s.

but lets face it, neither one of you are "typical" examples of either sex, and frankly i dont really care who screws who, thats something you should keep private. everyone being constantly bombarded with sexual references can not be healthy for society in general. its bad enough to have sexual references permeated throughout popular culture in every form of media in existence, but to have sex come up so often in day to day social interactions is not good.

The world is a confusing and silly place. Discussions such as these I usually avoid because I have zero useful input, as of right now. Though, for once, somehow, I found myself agreeing with a lot of Nukes post there. More about the points about society as a whole, and not anything to do with Zack, as I don't know enough about any member here to support or deny any such claims.

Basically, though, there will always be those people who make those other people annoyed. I, for one, find some people specifically to be kind of annoying, or don't want to hear what they have to say. Though I don't act out upon it if it doesn't concern me directly or someone I care about such as a friend, because truly, I don't find it would really accomplish anything. I don't know where I'm going with this,. It's just late, and I'm over tired. Blah.

maybe you need to consider that if you perceive something innocent as something dirty maybe the problem is that you are the pervert.
Totally agree with this...

I think I just heard a car race outside an hour ago at 12:30 in the morning outside my hotel. The engines were really ****ing loud, even through double pane windows on the 8th floor. I'm no expert, but they didn't sound like no normal sports car engines.... they sounded like F1 engines. By the time I looked out the window it was already too late.
Can someone tell me if this is the norm in Japan, or was that just a Fast and Furious gimmick. :confused: It seems the longer I stay in Japan, the more this place boggles the mind. :warp:

'Bout 10 minutes after they left the vicinity I heard an ambulance go by... :nervous:

We had one of those in early December, was one of the single most awesome weather events I have experienced in Scotland, ever.

We are getting close to wrapping up the Chinese Broadsword section at historic weapons class, so we started to delve into the two sword weapon techniques.  AFAIK Chinese Broadsword is one of the few if only systems with a practical two sword system, that is two say two equal length swords as opposed to Nito Ryu or Rapier and Dagger which are composed of a long and short weapon.  In any case we ran some drills where two single weapon wielders attacked a single person wielding two.  Granted it was a little sloppy since two of us had only recently been introduced to the system but it was literally like something out of a Kung Fu film, its helped by the fact that most Chinese kata are built around the idea of one vs one hundred.   It was pretty hilarious.

It would take no small amount of skill and vision but you could probably compose a pretty outstanding synopsis of FS2 set to Queen's The Prophet Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZjjsrn9FY4).  Especially if you played with the idea of featuring Aken Bosch as the titular prophet.

The cartoon is dated, and the dubbing leaves some to be desired (it is, after all, one of the huge number of titles that hit the West when a lot of people still couldn't tell the difference between Manga and Anime) but it's a nice bit of nostalgia. Having already watched Akira and Ghost in the Shell in the last couple of days I felt like a bit more Japanese animation ;)

Just avoid the live action movie like the plague, it is, without doubt, one of the worst movies ever made.

When I was younger, I had no problem sleeping with guys my own age or slightly younger, but now I'm not interested unless they're 21-23. But I'm only interested in girls that are 16-19. Meh.

Younger guys tend to LOOK younger, as well.

Besides, the attraction to older men is generally due to their experience. Younger guys have trouble faking experience - or at least, all the ones I've tried do

It's more of a biological, atavistic thing than a serious moral discussion with oneself usually. It takes some work to get over, but on the other hand it's better than the alternative, which is to give no ****s about what happens to others. The alternative sort of defeats the purpose of mutual pleasure.

teal deer: They'll  probably get over it, and it's a sign things will probably go overall better since they demonstrably care about your experience.

It's odd that Sex is still one of the great centres of Sexism. I can't say I'm innocent, when I was younger I felt exactly the same way, we'd ridicule a guy for "sleeping with anything" behind his back, yet we always hung around him in the hope of emulating his 'conquests'. If a girl got the same reputation, she was considered a slag and sleeping with her 'didn't count'.

Sad truth is, that was 20-odd years ago, and the attitude hasn't really changed, for many people.

Edit: I'm not condoning the idea of 'sleeping with anything', I might add, just that the perspective of people who do so is entirely dependent on gender.

Pretty much how I feel. I am not the sort of person who could operate in an open relationship, but as long as both parties understand the situation, and the risks, from the start, it's their own choice. Honesty, I think, is the key.

Please allow me to share the tragedy of my life HLP. This is about the history of how a woman ****ed up my life.

She was 15 when I first met her. I was in gamestop and she came to me and said hi. I felt in love at that exactly moment.

3 hours passed while we were talking about video games, her life, my life, and so on.

Had not the gamestop guy alerted us that the store would be closed, we probably would have stayed there, hypnotized by each other.

After we left the store, she said that there was going to be a party at her friends home, and she wanted for me to go. Then she kissed my face.

So in the party, I didn't have to make much effort to win her kiss. After the she asked me to be her boyfriend.

Never I have been so happy. We met everyday, had an active sexual life, and she was loyal to me.

One day, one of my best friends, who I always played video games with, got to know her in my house. We played street fighter 2, and I ended losing every match to him, like always.

Given a year of relationship, I proposed her to marry me. She instantly said yes. We married and started living together in an apartment. My friend visited us from time to time, and we always ended playing some street fighter 2.

As time passed, I realized she was getting cold at me. She didnt want to have sex like before, started to get late at home from her work, and was clearly hiding something.

Maybe I shouldnt have done it, but I started searching her files in the computer. I found something that disturbed me. There was a log of a conversation of her with my best friend. She was cheating me with my best friend!

Enraged, I waited for her to get from work for like 3 hours. As the door opened, she was already looking sad. As if she knew, or was prepared for it. I said: why did you do that?

She looked at my eyes, with a kirk smile, closed her eyes, turn her back to me, and said with a faint voice: read the first letter of every paragraph.

I just finished ME2 again. And again, the suicide mission was gripping, suspenseful and awesome right up until LOL TERMINATOR.

You know, the Human-Reaper's design actually really resembles a husk (especially the two eyes on the one side). This possibly means that husks are miniature reapers, the result of reaper-creating technology applied on a (comparatively) microscopic scale. This would explain why they suck as well.

Also, I've always chosen to believe that the Human-Reaper that we see would be housed deep inside a casing shaped like the traditional Reaper cthuloid cuttlefish.  Giant humans with the same proportions just look stupid in all cases (sorry, humanoid-mecha-based universes, but it's true).

Are you sure about that, or is it merely the uncertainty of not having that crutch to lean on? If you aren't happy in your current situation, you are the only one who can do anything about it, and the truth is that as long as you allow yourself to be used, he will continue using you, that's just human nature.

I'm happy when he's not ignoring me for my own good.
I'm happy when I'm not hormonal and doubting myself and him.
I'm happy when I manage to convince myself that he isn't still in love with the ex-fiance that cheated on him.
I'm happy when I'm with him.

So I'm going to give him the chance to make me happy until he tells me he isn't going to.

Well, that is your choice to make, I could tell you that road usually leads to emotional disaster, because you are underselling your own worth, but I suppose everyone has to find happiness, or sadness, in their own way.

Just remember, if it all goes wrong, life is about more than Sex. Sex is fun, but it doesn't make a relationship. I learned that the hard way, and I suspect almost everyone in this forum who is in a stable relationship also had to learn the hard way how to make them work, maybe it's the only way to learn.

Good luck either way :)

I suppose all I can really say then is that Humans, more than any other creature on the planet, have developed instincts for deception and knowing when something is 'wrong'. We are very good at deception and misdirection, and in defence of that, we are very good at detecting them.

If you are happy in your relationship, then good for you, but do not always write off those 'wrong' feelings as merely being hormonal, that sounds like something a man would say, no offence to the men here (myself included). Love can be blind, deaf and mute, simply ignoring a concern because you don't want it to be true can be the most damaging route to take, your instincts may be sending you messages you don't want to hear but that doesn't mean those warnings are unjustified.

Frankly, you can define a relationship not by how your partner is in the 'good' times, but how they are in bad ones ;)

Anyway, enough lecturing, just trust yourself, and I hope things work out for you, whatever the outcome :)

I went to the bookfest at the Brisbane Convention Centre with some friends.

I don't think I've seen so many books laid out on tables like that. There was tens of thousands of them! New books, old books, books that are rare and out of print... And not only books, too. They had music CDs, records, cassette, old and new software/games, DVDs, VHS tapes, board games and puzzles... so many things. :p

Funnily enough, I picked up three games and only one book - The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson. The games were Ford Racing 2001, Falcon 4.0 Allied Force, and - I can't believe my luck to stumble on it - a boxed version (so it included all of the original manuals and promotional stuff) of Network Q RAC Rally Championship plus the X-Miles addon (which I didn't know existed). I already had that game, but a) I only had the CD of the original game, and b) I don't know where it is.

So, I'm a very happy camper right now. :D

Also, nice picture, though the focus is a little off, which makes it kind of hard to judge, and I think the lines around the lips may be a little hard, though that could be either focal issues or the WIP-ness of that part of the picture.

Unfortunately, after that last incident, which also made me decide that keeping my birthday low-profile was a better idea, I've never viewed my birthday very positively. Something strange always happens every 1 February. With today, it's the transport system.

I don't recall anything going wrong with the public transport.

It usually takes me about 90 minutes to travel from my house at Bedok South to Ngee Ann Polytechnic. If I add an extra five minutes of travelling time, I will reach school about 15 minutes early. There were quite a number of contributing factors that made me 3 minutes late today, and the very first was my own mistake.

1. I spent too much time reading the newspaper searching for a fake obituary posted by the Traffic Police - ten minutes wasted;
2. The nearest lift was undergoing maintenance, so I went down two floors to take a lift at the common corridor - one minute wasted;
3. The lift I chose had somebody riding it from a floor higher up and I pressed the button one second too late - two minutes wasted;
4. When the lift finally came up and ferried me down, I saw a bus at my bus-stop leaving, heading in the direction of Tanah Merah station, which was where I was going, so I had to wait for the next one - ten minutes wasted;
5. Some moron decided to get out of his van at a traffic junction and held the bus up as a result - two minutes wasted;
6. Because the bus was held up, I missed the train by two minutes, so I had to wait for the next train, and the next train was running slow - eight minutes wasted;
7. After finally getting on board a train at Tanah Merah and alighting at Clementi, I got out of the latter only to see Service 184, which would have taken me to Ngee Ann Polytechnic, leaving the bus-stop at the station. I had to wait for Service 154 and spend two additional cents as a result - four minutes wasted.

A lot of contact today with the best girl I've ever met. Not at all suffocating, unlike more recent alternatives. Nothing can happen with it for now for a variety of reasons. Perhaps in a year the story will be different, especially if I find my 9-to-5 in Miami. Otherwise, perhaps I should just categorize her as "the one that got away" and leave it at that.

I had a great run in Bad Company 2. My last round of the evening, I was at 4.6 K/D in SQDM. To be fair, though, it was me and 3 other decent server regulars.

My college has been going ape-**** about the snow for the past few weeks. Last week, we had Wednesday evening off (including my 4PM class). On Thursday, they canceled the entire day and then it didn't snow much at all. Come Monday, they ran classes. On Tuesday, they canceled from noon onward (including my 4PM). Come today, they had canceled everything prior to noon. Who knows what they'll do tomorrow.

It's hilarious because there can't be more than three inches of snow on the ground outside.

Of course, what they're really worried about is icy road conditions, which southwestern drivers do not know how to handle, since they occur so rarely.

looks like my particle code got committed, so i updated the wiki.

also been trying to fix a buggered laptop. right off the bat i found memory errors, so i replace the ram with some good ram i have lying around.
ran memtest again and the memory passed
so i try to instal windows 7
7 hangs while loading the installer, so i try vista.
vista hands while loading the installer
so i start to suspect the dvd drive, i come up with a boot disk using a hard drive from another buggered laptop, it works but same problem as with the cd.
so i tried taking out the hard drive and putting mine in. same problem.
so i try xp32 (machine will only take 2gb)
i actually gets through the installer
so the computer starts up and behaves perfectly fine
it works finally. so i install the service packs.
i look at the device manager.
i get a whole page of drivers to search for. not one thing in this machine uses a standard piece of hardware
i go to the manufacturer's webpage and spend several hours trying to find any reference to this model of laptop.
i find none at first. but i found them hidden so i download all of them.
i install them one at a time. starting with the video driver. this laptop still has its nvidia sticker but the drivers turn out to be ati drivers :mad:
so i get the drivers for the nvidia chipset mentioned on the sticker, they claim that the hardware does not exist
on top of that only about 3 of the other drivers work at all.
at this point the system freezes after running for anywhere between a minute and 5
i suspect overheating so i stick the whole computer in the freezer for a half hour
i start it up and it still crashes, despite being ice cold
so obviously one of the drivers i installed really didnt agree with the system.
DELPART!!!!
i will try again tomorrow.

finally got this laptop mostly working and running stable. still cant seem to find the video driver at all. ive downloaded 50 of them and none have worked so far. im probably in the hole with the isp. im pretty certain its an obscure nvidia chipset. nvidia's driver download page doesnt mention it at all. also it seems that the company that made this machine either went defunct and disappeared from the known universe, or changed their name (probibly out of shame for piss poor driver support).

and sure enough before i finish this post i find the correct driver. gah, now to see if starcraft 2 will run on it.

battlestar is less impressive now that i finally got around to watching firefly

I'd like to get off the firefly bandwagon and say I have no idea why everyone loved it so much. It was competently done, sure. But I really don't see a reason to gush, and a good number not to.

I think most people liked about it was the setting. Nobody ever bothered putting 'development planets' in their Sci-Fi fic...

its a space western. whats not to like?

battlestar was good, but its kinda getting old now. after watching the entire show seven times, everything just kinda gets cheesy. and since there's not a single tv scifi franchise left, im going to spend some time watching some old shows i never got around to finishing up.

It's a space western, everything. The whole trappings of low-tech-low-power society make very little sense juxtaposed with the ship, which would require a higher tech base than is seen almost anywhere groundside in the show to simply pay for the use of, much less actually maintain or build. The whole image of a down-on-their-luck spaceship crew is forgetting that they're still spaceship crew and they have to pay for spaceship gas, and this ain't going to cut it.

it actually seems more realistic. the cost of space travel is somewhat astronomical and on a somewhat recently colonized planet with little or no infrastructure to speak of would be hard pressed to be able to afford it. they certainly wouldn't be very capable of building and launching spacecraft regardless of the influx of technology from the more technologically advanced core planets. its somewhat analogous to the third world today. i mean we have our electricity and communications and transportation infrastructure, and its accessible to almost all levels of society. then you go to the third world and things like plumbing or power are considered luxuries and are completely inaccessible to most of the population. things dont necessarily revolve around what technology exists but rather the gdp of the planet. 3rd world planets trading in agricultural goods and raw materials wouldn't necessarily trade directly with the first world core planets, but would trade with planets kind of at an industrial level (sort of equivalent to china), and that goes up the hierarchy to the core planets. unrefined materials would be somewhat useless to a developed planet, who would probably trade with the closer industrial planet.

You missed the point, which was basically "how are these people paying for gas with these jobs" and "where the hell would they get gas, anyways" :P

But on another front, I think you're looking in the wrong direction with the whole 3rd-world analogy. This is colonization, not exploitation; you end up with something like the Brits in America or Australia, not the wild west.

That would come later in the expansion, if it came at all. And spaceships would have no reason to visit it. They would visit the initial colonies, where material was shipped out, rather than visit the proles, who would only get uppity if they had direct contact with the outside universe.

This afternoon during a short nap I managed to induce a short lucid dream.  Within the dream I was in a bathroom and, as most bathrooms go, there was a mirror on the wall.  Now I had heard/read from various people's experiences, either in dreams or under the influence of certain vision-altering-chemicals, that looking at one's reflection in a mirror in such a situation typically ends badly.  One that often comes to mind is the sight of your teeth either missing or chock full of holes or chipped to pieces.  Or worse...

Anyway, I had never experienced this and was curious what kind of reflection would greet me.  Of course my prior knowledge from other people's visions may affect the outcome, but whatever, let's see what happens... it can't be that bad, right?

Looking in the mirror I found a perfectly normal image of myself looking back at me.  Ah, look at that beautiful smile.  Wonderful. :)  Suddenly my pupils darted impossibly to the side and stuck there, half hidden in the far corners of the eye socket.  Well, that's kind of weird, I thought. 

Then the eyes rushed together and merged into one.  What. The. Fuuuuuck?  It grew so large it filled up almost my entire face.  It stared back at me, its unblinking gaze almost piercing my soul, as vessels sprouted from the sides like disgusting red vines, turning the entire eye dark with blood.  The vision continued to grow more ghastly and with such rapidity that I spun myself away to avoid further exposure and possible brain damage...

Lesson learned.  Don't **** with dream-world mirrors.  Ever.  :shaking:

Yeah. Dunno if they're any good, because the ones that are also happen to skeeve me out somewhat. This may be because they were hitting on me when I was 14-16 and they were in their 20s, which is pretty sketch... Though there is one guy I know with really long, sharpened fingernails who left scars on my chest and belly by scratching me once.

I mean, it's not his fault that he can't exactly tell his boss "Sorry, can't work today, gotta go ****"

Playing game of supremecy 1914, fighting egypt.
he's dug in on the east side of the Suez canal, I have 50% more men, and I have 4x the artillery, and tanks, but he also has artillery, so I might win, but that'd cost me most of my army, and I have 2 "allies" also attacking him, and I really want to take Cairo for the money.
so I send 15,000 men south and around to grab Cairo before anyone else can,  and if he shells those troops, I can move my army up and bombard his stronghold, take it out with far fewer causalities.
Feel like a tactician coming up with this instead of waiting for my railgun to be build back up in homeland.

Erm, cancel that order. If you want a desktop, have someone build it for you. If you want a laptop, it'd be better to grab middle-of-the-line models with decent GPU's instead of spending $OMGWTFBBQ on an Alienware POS.

...Alienware POS.

So far, in my entire history of computer ownership, Alienware is the only desktop manufacturer I've bought from that hasn't left me telling a horror story regarding system reliability or build-quality.  My current desktop, a now-very old Aurora, has been moved between apartments and residence halls more than a dozen times and operated without fail for seven years, and I've never had to open the case or make a support call.  Ever.

If you don't want to buy one, that's just fine, but if you've got a problem with my purchase, you can stick it up your ass, because the criticism of anonymous-dick-on-the-net factors into my decision a whole lot less heavily than a history of positive experience with the manufacturer.

Yeah sure. Here you go!
Alienware Aurora ($999 default options)

Intel Core i3-540 ($123)
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 ($100)
3GB DDR3-1333 ($40 for 4GB)
500GB hard drive ($60 for WD Caviar Black)
Radeon HD 5670-1GB ($75)
DVD burner ($25)
P55 motherboard ($120)
Corsair H50 watercooling ($76)
Power supply (650W) ($80)
===
$699

A fancy chassis and 1-year basic service plan are not worth $300 to me. Instead, include a $50 chassis (Antec Three Hundred, perhaps). And, if you're expecting a great gaming experience, it won't be yours because you spent $1000 for an Alienware logo and LEDs instead of $800 on a Dell or HP tower with better specs or $700 building it yourself with a more sensible part selection process.

+$75 for HD6850
-$20 from 500W PSU
-$76 from dropping Corsair H50
+$30 for decent HSF
$0 for 4GB RAM instead

Et cetera. And remember that companies like Dell and HP get massive discounts on OS licenses and motherboards. What would cost you or me $100 costs them more like $75. And on OS's, I wouldn't be surprised if they paid $50.

[Look at me usin' Google and Newegg!  Surely nobody else on the internet has figured this out!]

Hey, let's add in the bit about the fact that the last five games I bought were actually six to seven years old anyway, so the new computer is completely superfluous.  Or let's talk about the other hundred-and-twenty things that I considered before setting out to buy a new computer.  I don't know why you seem to have such a huge stick up your ass about the computer I bought for myself, with my money, but ... oh, hey, I've addressed this already....

Quote from: BlueFlames on February 14, 2011, 12:14:20 pm
If you don't want to buy one, that's just fine, but if you've got a problem with my purchase, you can stick it up your ass, because the criticism of anonymous-dick-on-the-net factors into my decision a whole lot less heavily than a history of positive experience with the manufacturer.

I do homebuild my PCs and I love doing it, and I can say that Bob-san's approach here makes me want to stop doing that and buy everything from Alienware. Being a massive tool is never a good persuasive strategy; something more along the lines of 'Have you thought about homebuild?' would probably have been a better opening.

But hey, social skills on MY internet

The pony part is probably not that expensive, its shacking the pony up in a barn, feeding, maintenance and vet bills thats the real killer.  It's ridiculously expensive to own a horse.  If you're really interested I'd see if there is a local farm that does lessons for a reasonable price.

Decided that her future with her ex wasn't how she wanted her life to go - Good
Got dumped before marriage - Average
Already married - Bad
Decided she couldn't collect enough on the life insurance - Very bad

It's nothing to do with relate to. I'm pretty sure I'd still be able to relate to a kid in highschool. I mean literally look. Your frame of reference for size and appearance has finally settled fixed but your expectations haven't yet caught up, so they literally look like elementary kids to you because that's what elementary kids looked like to you in size and appearance terms when you were in highschool.

I decided to simulate a flight from Birmingham to Schipol on Flight Simulator 2002 in a 737 - the flight I took with KLM at the start of 2008 when coming home from our trip to England then. I used the in-built flight planner and GPS to use the correct flight path, and the autopilot to keep me level and at the right alititude during the straight parts (it didn't work so well in some spots - it decided to let it stall trying to keep the right height). I made it all right, but only after doing some odd circling around (http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8166/circlingatschipol.png) before landing, and I landed a few metres short of the runway, but I didn't crash so I'm pleased (I probably scared the passengers witless and made them sick, though!). :)

My damn car was cold as heck this morning. I almost froze while driving from home to work.
I suppose the cooling fluids that are supposed to transfer the heat from the engine to the heating system were frozen solid.

Luckily it seemed that the fluids are finally starting to melt since FINALLY it began blowing warm air when I got here.

[mechanic]Coolant mixed with antifreeze is designed to withstand cold temperatures all the way down to -40 F, and if the fluid froze, you would actually have more problems with the engine overheating than you would with the car staying cold.  Unless your car has a heating block installed, chances are it was just the engine taking a long time to heat up (or for the internal thermometer to read the rise in temperature; which means it could be stuck in the open position).

what's a school star party?

We of the astronomy association haul our telescopes out to the school and let people look through them at stuff because we're nice guys.

For free, because we're nice guys.

It was a bad site this time because (as happens roughly half the time) the school was unable to turn off security lighting and had way too much of it, so nobody could dark adapt.

Still, Jupiter was up, and the usual standbys M42 and the Pleiades, and somebody with a goto scope managed to find Neptune.

Google wants me to create a Google Account to continue logging in to YouTube. They are not giving me an option this time.

If they really want me to get an account so badly, I'd rather do away with them completely until such a time when I see the need to utilise any of their services. I'll do away with a free service too, since I no longer see much use for it.

Some guys on HLP IRC say that Google Maps is useful, but I still refer to an outdated road directory to get around Singapore, not Google Maps. It has only failed me once because I was not looking at it closely.

Google Translator? Pfft, I use BabelFish, and if I actually wanted to know more about a language, I'll take up actual lessons rather than relying on an electronic translator.

Google Mail? What for? I have Hotmail. It serves me well, and I see no reason to change my e-mail provider just because.

Google Android? Nobody in this country uses it, and my family will tear me to bits if I sink a load of cash into such extravagance.

Google Calculator? I can do mental sums pretty nicely. I also have a scientific calculator from Sharp that I bought back in 2004 for school use and it
still works.

Google Dictionary? It doesn't stand a chance against other dictionaries like the 1951-page paperback that I have on my bookshelf. There's also urbandictionary.com, the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and Wiktionary.

/me replaces the YouTube channel link on his signature with a link to his dormant Wordpress.com blog.

First service wins. I've been using it since the time they provided only 10 MB of storage. :nod:

To give Microsoft credit, I did almost consider a switch to GMail once, when Hotmail's Javascript somehow messed up, but I could not bring myself to do it, and they fixed their scripts after a few days.

I'm apparently a multi-class Bard/Sorcerer at the moment, so I might try for either Loremaster or maybe Duelist.  Then again, might just skip a prestige at all, since Bard/Sorcerer is pretty nice.

EDIT TO AVOID DOUBLE POST:

I am thoroughly enjoying the first few days of my Software Engineering degree. It really feels like I was meant to study this. Every class evokes genuine interest from me, and I'm learning awesome new things and enjoying the learning. So many resources available in the university's library too. Doing some supplementary reading on boolean algebra atm. Pretty simple stuff, but interesting nonetheless.

went to DUSTED event for our faculty (DrUnk Small Town Establishment Dry -or something)and it was FANTASTIC
got slizzard with mate whom I went to highschool witth, made out with a girl-Stephanie was her name, can still taste her on my lips, and plan on meeting up with her next week for another event.  maybe this time I'll have a successful 2nd time with a girl, I'd rather like to break my habit of spending 1 night with a girl and then not spending more time with that girl.

Maybe I'll have better luck with Steph than Jess last september


yeah, I'm still drunk off the booze-something like 300ml of vodka on the bus, then a pitcher of beer solo'd at the event-you have no idea how hard a time I'm having typing this, espicially when firefox 4.0 beta 12 or something asks me what I think of it.

GOLLY, I SAID YOU'RE FANTASTIC ALREADY FIREFOX, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!??!!

I actually didn't do either at all except for that one argument/flamewar, where I wasn't the only one partaking in either, so perhaps there was reason, but singling one person out isn't rather fair.

Believe it or not this is a consensus decision by more than one person, so trying to frame it as a personal dispute is pretty stupid. Feel free to send angry PMs to Axem though, he's spent a lot more time arguing with Hades than I have. (actually i don't recall any such incident with moderators?)

IRC gets a lot more content pushed around than HLP and makes up the meat of the forum's business, so it makes sense it would pop up here now and again.

Atm, just some flight-simming, since I need to keep current on my student license (which actually expired a few months ago because I lost my job and couldn't renew it, but don't tell anyone!) and possibly some Freespace. I tried it out a little this afternoon but I still need to tweak the controls until it gets to a stage where it's anywhere near playable.

The joystick's design also makes it really hard to execute turns and use the hat switch to get your bearings off the landscape and the horizon, which is a pain. May not be an issue for those with longer fingers, however. :D

On the contrary; Hades posted, you replied. You are not required to justify the consensus decision by its nature, and the majority of the time this happens I expect nobody ever does. So any effort to cast your post here as anything other than personal is ridiculous.

Hades cast an aspersion directed as much at Axem as anyone else (if not more so than anyone else), and because IRC is pretty democratic, with ops generally guided by how pissed off people are, it's important to make it clear that things don't happen for no reason. Axem doesn't need to put up with another round of *****ing.

I'm entitled to tell Hades to sit down and shut up whenever I please, and will probably continue to do so at great length. You're free to complain about it too, but it's unlikely to prevent me from responding to any moaning here.

I think I'm in a better position to judge what Axem appreciates as an op of the HLP IRC channel, thanks. Your IRC expertise will be called upon if it is needed, but Spoon, Axem and I spend enough time holed up in our little cave that I feel he'd probably appreciate it.

I think that creating several posts of personal exchange to protest two posts of a personal exchange is pretty Sisyphean. Take it to PM.

Civilians, not likely.  PE and Space A travel are reserved for military members and their dependents (including retirees).  But yes, PE does regular flights from BWI to Ramstein, but the third leg changes (it could go to Al Udeid, Kuwait, or any other base downrange).

50GB is a fairly sizable plan here, tbh, though there are improvements slowly filtering through. I'm on 5 GB/month, since I get all my internet via my phone, which is great when out and about, not so much for DLing big mods and such. But I leach off my brother for big DLs (mostly tv), so I get by. :)

Yeah, I was actually overjoyed when we upgraded from 20GB on 1.5mbps to 50GB on just over that speed (it's meant to be something like 8mbps, but it never, ever, gets to that).

But yeah, 50 gig was actually fine until my sister started downloading crap just for the sake of it...

It should get better when we get that NBN. Oh, who am I kidding, that thing is a bloody joke.  :D
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: Black Wolf on March 08, 2011, 09:02:50 am
NBN will be awesome. And at least the government's doing something on a large infrastructural front. We've had a massive opportunity over the last 6-8 years of major, mining driven prosperity to really rebuild things, and what do we have to show for it? Very bloody little that I can see, At least with the NBN, 10 or 20 years from now we'll be able to look back and know we did something[/i[ to prepare for the future. Even if it turns out to have been the wrong thing - and I honestly do not think it's going to be the wie elephant the libs would have you believe - I'm happy to take the gamble. The potential payoff, after all, isn't just a broadband network, but it might just be the catalyst that reinvigorates the public's tastes for big, ambitious, expensive projects that deliver real, useful and long lasting outcomes.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: Dilmah G on March 08, 2011, 09:10:57 am
Yeah, that's true. I'd rather have some faster broadband network that's obsolete, rather than what we have now, which is even more obsolete. But regardless of which party ends up doing the legwork, the thing is going to be a billion dollars overbudget and probably take an additional 10 years, knowing how stuff happens here.

Sorry, I've still got the taste of the BER in my mouth, here. :P
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: Black Wolf on March 08, 2011, 04:08:03 pm
Again, BER turned out much better than the Libs would have you believe, particularly here in WA where there was very little of the kind of rorting that we saw in other states. And it was a big spend, but don't forget that it was designed to be a big spend to stimulate the economy. I'm not a blind labor supporter (voted for barnett at the last state election, probably will again), and the federal party has made some legitimately bad decisions (pussing out vs. the japanese in antarctica, backing away from the carbon price scheme when they had public support, and now ****ing up the second attempt, the home insulation ****ups, the ridiculous first draft of the mining tax and equally ridiculous (for entirely different reasons) second version etc. etc.). But as a whole, I've been happy with the last three odd years - certainly more happy than I suspect I  would have been with the coalition on top.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: Dilmah G on March 09, 2011, 01:25:47 am
Oh yeah, I have a bit of a bone to pick with the BER - moreso over how my school ended up spending the money. We already had an indoor sports centre...so we built another one.

As you do.  :rolleyes:

Anyway, yeah, I agree, WA didn't get too ****ed over by the BER, by and large (compared to that canteen over in Victoria, I think it was, that was $120,000 a square metre). Ultimately, you're right, the BER did what it was meant to. I'm not sure we would've got the bigger spending that we needed if the Liberals were in, although I would've really liked Turnbull to stay on.

Although these days, we may as well just vote the Greens into the lower house, since they seem to be calling the shots down there anyway.

i sliced up my thumb something brutal trying to fix my ipod. bought a replacement lcd off of ebay for $6.99. it came with a couple little plastic prybar tools and no instructions. after watching tutorials where people who know what the **** theyre doing make the process look easy, i decide to try it. so when you apply some force and the edge of the plastic tool slices through the back side of your thumb, cutting a deep gash from nail to knuckle (which hurts like a mother ****er), you know theyre just showing off. needless to say i managed to open the peice of crap and managed to do the repair without breaking something else, and now that bar of damaged pixels that used to go across the screen is gone. i figure when this ****er finally dies, il try one of those open source mp3 player kits that anti-closed-source types have formulated.

He did, and she is, and they're going to hook up now.

So I just got two people whom obviously like each other together.

so I;m making out with the same chick as last week.

she wasn't THAT into me;  With this realization, I've concluded that I shall regard her as nothing more than "**** for ****'s sake" because she's not regarding me as anything terribbby important.
I had difficulty completing the foot-leg of my trip home, but since I can type this, I am in my room now.

I feel bitter towards relationships right now.
agood chunk of the reason being because I;m rather drunk, the fact that I don;t have many errors feels like a miracle, as I can barely focus on what I;m typing.
However, now I know that I could make myself free to double-date with my roomate, girl he met last wekend, and the girl's roomate.

Feeling a hint of jungle fever, so yeah!!!

tnis is the only post i;ll make her frunk this night,I don;t need no hamyburgers, because I have a large pringle can in front of me, and am devouring it as i try to type tis post.


fooking sirisus radio, putting on"jar of hearts" now, making me feel I'm a manwhore because I never go on second date becuas eI',m not rewady for actual commitment unless maybe its with somoneI;m alkready living with, so as such these kinds of thoughts about her are verbouten, but **** I;m thinkg about them right now--ish



(god god, this is anawful post, but hey, I;m not making a thread about poor me or anything, so I bet thatr makes this somewhat okay, as thepsot has been a rant on whatever is happeneing in my life.)

Cooked up some dark chocolate brownies, played some Ace Combat 6.  Specifically "Weapons of Mass Destruction" I flew a dassault rafale m, the sexiest of the Euro canard/delta wing birds.  High speed NOE infiltration exfiltration followed by ripping up the sky full enemy Typhoons and Strike Eagles.  All to the excellent work of Iron Maiden.

Went to Kendo, hit folks and yelled.  Then we went to see Batte LA, it was pretty decent, certainly not amazing Oscar stuff but worth the price of admission.  Aaron Eckhart did a good job anchoring the whole thing and it moved along fast enough to keep logic temporarily at bay.  Though 20 years and still an E-6?  Must have been busted down a couple times :P  Plus there was a hilarious shoot down of an enemy drone aircraft with an AT-4 at the end that was pretty WTF

We had our second dogfight today, five players with two planes each.  I had a pair of D.VIIs, one white and one red.  My red one managed to hit a nice Immelman and get some hits on an enemy Hanover but soon afterward was engaged by a flight of Albatross that rolled a critical hit which turned out to be a pilot hit.  As the furball developed between the other four players my remaining D.VII gained some altitude and distance before swooping in behind everyone in the last couple turns.  Managed to come in right behind one of the Albatrosses that attacked my red kite and take him out with two critical hits, both pilot hits.  One of the other players who had a pair of Dr.Is wiped out the other Albatross so my lost kite was avenged.  Since we are tracking pilot performance to increase rank I needed to give my successful pilot a name, I decided to go with "Der Weisse Hahn"

when it comes right down to it i can fit everything i have in less than 500 gigs of space. and if i clean up old wares and disk images i no longer use and movies i dont watch no more i could probably half that. and considering terabyte drives are less than 60 bucks i dont think i would ever need that much storage.  i am kind of experiencing a hard drive shortage though, so a couple terabyte drives would be badass.

/me skips like 180 unread pages, at least for the moment.

So as Battuta discovered the other day, I've been playing through Braid for the first time.  It's quite the experience from a mechanics standpoint, and the artwork is just gorgeous.  To my utter shock, I've managed to get most of the way through World 5's puzzle pieces without needing to consult a walkthrough.  World 4 had a few incredibly difficult ones to track down, including one that probably took me a good hour or so of fooling-around, but I managed to get it.  This is incredibly unusual for me, as I'm usually the first one to reach for a hint guide as soon as I get stuck in a game, but it's a good feeling. :)

blackhole jumped me on Windows Live while I was uploading my most recent desktop. He asked me why I dislike getting a Google Account and I told him that the reason why I've tried my best not to do so is because I have no use for a Google Account apart from using YouTube. He then asked me what sort of chat client do I use now that I'm no longer using Windows Live Messenger, so I told him that I have no replacement unless HLP IRC counts as one.

Until now, my real life is still pretty disassociated with my Internet life. My six friends don't use Facebook nearly as much as I do (and I don't use Facebook that much any more), and my schoolmates have better things to do than to use Facebook all day. I intend to keep it this way for as long as possible.

What irks me about these "achievements" is that they are actually quite easy to get if you conduct tests at different servers. I managed to get the Happy Panda achievement yesterday by doing a test in Norway (400+ms ping), followed by a test in Singapore (<50ms ping). That string of five achievements in my previous post occurred because I did a test in Africa (>600ms ping).

QD now holds the Happy Panda achievement. There's no way I can compete with the raw power of his connection speed.

My best friend is drunk off her ass in South Padre, and she is a very depressed drunk at the moment, so I'm helping her through that at the moment.  She wasn't a depressed drunk before she passed out, so that worries me a tiny bit.  Doing that by text is hardly the most optimal solution, but it's the best one I've got right now, since she has no call service, and I'm about 800 miles away.

Damn, I wish I was there (for more than one reason).

Went to historic weapons class and it ended up being the final day of Italian Longsword.  Last week's class it was just the instructor and I and we had discussed taking a more in depth look at the style since I much prefer digging into it and attaining a level of proficiency rather then just cycling systems at a birds eye view.  Unfortunately the idea got overruled by the rest of the class tonight, which I was kind of expecting since they don't take the course for the same reasons I do.  However, my instructor did leave it open to schedule private lessons, which I may take him up on since he really knows his stuff and the longsword is an extremely awesome fighting system.  I also received my order of Danner boots via the post today.  I only got to wear them this evening but even so I am pretty impressed, they are really built to move in comfortably.  I usually wear Justin boots which coupled with my stride are very audible where as these even at my fastest walking pace are practically silent.

Hungary - Netherlands 0:4.

I wanted to post a sarcastic comment here, but the commentator upset me, so I'm gonna rant instead.

I don't know what's the big fuss about being beaten by the Netherlands, home field or not. They are the runner-up of the World Cup, we (Hungary) haven't even qualified since '86. There is a constant four-goal difference between the two teams. They have better offense and defense, they are better trained, and they are much better at ball possession. What were we expecting, people? The outcome doesn't upset me, but the way the media handled the match did.

This is European football (or soccer) by the way.

I saw my mom in the hospital today, due to the massive amount of fluids and medication they had to pump into her, she was so swollen I could barely recognize her, I almost cried for the first time in years. The doctors say they may be able to get her awake and off of the tubes and fluids etc in a couple of days, though it may be months before she fully recovers enough to get out of the hospital, plus due to the blood infection she got from her illness she may have perma brain damage. I'm so pissed at the hospital she used to be going to before the one she's in now.

So today we (5 of us of the McMaster Improv Team(MIT!)) were part of entertainment for a world youth something fundraiser.
had to tone it down (the tendency to be comically impolite), preforming in front of children and in a church, but even after being pushed back in schedule MUCH further than we thought.  Still did great though.

In the audience were some same-age girls that one liked us from a different event on thursday, and had a couple of her friends here for this one.
Myself and a bro plan to grab a brewsky afterwards, but then chat things up with 3 girls, and they were grabbing some Chinese food before watching a disney movie.  I say "mind if we join you girls?" and they say "sure!" and its great, I have arm around one of them (Liz) as we all walk over and grab some chinese, then go to their house.
We all pile onto the couch, (bro has a GF, so me being between him and the girls was fine by him) and watch ferngully while eating chinese. T'was decent movie, bro heads out, and its me and the girls, we see some YT videos, and it turns out Liz actually goes to school in sudbury, 6 hours away, and had to drive back this sunday, and as such needed to go to bed for sleeping. damn.
so all I got was a decent goodnight kiss, and the information that mah dimples are "super-cute"

pretty good for a dry night, I feel good about myself even If I didn't get any.

Last class of the month is interpretation night at Kendo when we actually practice Kenjutsu concepts with bokken which is always fun.  Not the monster physical workout regular Kendo is but I always find sword the killing art a magnificent thing. 

We went and saw Sucker Punch afterward.  Overall pretty ho hum, the first two "Dream Sequences" the first involving the fight with the Samurai golems at the temple and the raid on the DKoK esq German steam punk zombie trench where both visually arresting and pretty awesome.  The other two sequences were kinda cool, but not quite as strong and a bit more messy action wise.  The story was a mess as well, the setup was promising and it tried to put on airs as being multi layered and thoughtful but about third of the way through I was pretty much zoning out and waiting for it to wrap up.

The new ME2 DLC got me back into the game, and I pulled out my ME3 pre-order receipt (pre-ordered it the day it was announced) and stared at it in glee.

Third starparty this week, been nice to many children. (Including wall-to-wall white people at St. Kieran's, which was a major difference from normal.) Feet hurt when standing around for long periods, but not when moving. I think it may be time to consider new shoes.

Just finished handing in the last programming assignment for Operating Systems...... and with it comes a further understanding of the potential ramifications of my tendencies to procrastinate. About 1/2 to 2/3 of the program set functioned.  And I know damn well that if I had started further ahead of time that would have been all of it working. And I need a 70 on this assignment (or an appeal to the prof) to be allowed to pass this course due to a rule that regardless of overall average, you must have 50 percent on the assignment section of the course. Of which i recieved 40 and 40 due to idiotic moments of moronic coding mistakes and procrastination.

Ah well. we live, we learn. We give ourselves **** and we stop being idiots eventually. Or we fail.

And as it is now 230 am here.... I guess what would have been a pre-warning for drunken hamnyurger posts tomorrow becomes a pre-warning for hamnyurger posts this coming evening, and an apology for the unnecessary verboseness and self-directed semi-pointless frustrated rambling that this post is formed out of.

Trying to finish Part 2 of my Battle of Endor FS voice dub...damn that last fight scene needs some pretty rigorous work...

Just for amusement, I'm posting the work I'm actually doing. This is from a Notepad file.

04:16:15 (Turbo)(Boom)
04:16:46 (Turbo)
04:17:14 (Turbo)
04:17:51 (Turbo)(TerranF)
04:17:93 (Turbo)(Terran Flyby)
04:18:03 (TerranF)
04:18:37 (Turbo)
04:18:70 (Turbo)
04:18:77 (ShivanF)
04:19:54 (Systems)
04:20:50 (CapShipSystems)
04:21:56 (CapShipSystems)
04:21:77 (TerranFlyby)
04:22:13 (RedLaser)
04:22:24 (Turbo)
04:22:30 (SDHit)
04:22:52 (Turbo)(Shivan)
04:22:73 (RedLaser)
04:22:93 (Shivan)
04:23:14 (Boom)(SDHit)
04:23:24 (Shivan)
04:23:36 (RedLaser)
04:23:47 (Turbo)
04:23:56 (Shivan)
04:23:66 (ShivanF)
04:23:88 (Turbo)
04:23:96 (Turbo)
04:24:13 (SDHit)
04:27:93 (ShivanF)
04:28:15 (ShivanF)
04:29:49 (CollideDestroy)
04:30:22 (Boom)
04:30:68 (RedLaserLight)
04:30:79 (RedLaserLight)
04:30:96 (RedLaserLight)
04:31:32 (SDHit)
04:31:76 (RedLaserLight)
04:31:85 (FighterBoom)
04:33:26 (TerranFlyby)(Boom)

On the left column is the time the sound has to be put in. On the right is the sound label ("Turbo" will probably be some Shivan Turret sound effect as it's basically a Star Destroyer turbolaser projectile, TerranF is also Terran Flyby, "Boom" will usually be flak (hell what are those random explosions showing up in the fight scenes anyway), "FighterBoom" will be the sound of a ship blowing up "ShivanF" is Shivan Flyby, "RedLaserLight" is Rebel laser fire, which would probably be some Terran Turret sound, and "SDHit" is the sound of lasers impacting the hull. "CapShipSystems" is the sound of a Star Destroyer's shield generator going down (take note, this isn't the Executor yet), "Systems" is the sound of those dying pilots' fighters going down (you see sparks inside their cockpits) and "CollideDestroy" would be a fighter crashing to a bigger ship.

Personally I view Admiral Piett as one of the most hilarious characters here. You'll find out why.

This list is rather long. Although it doesn't take much time actually doing this, it somehow requires sheer concentration.

Best scheduling decision ever: not having class 'till 11:00am on Mondays.    :)
I was up until 2:00 Sunday night working on a damn statics project that took way ****ing longer than I thought it would.  The last project we got in that class was worth the same number of points, and I was able to finish it in an afternoon, so I thought I'd be able to do the same with this one.  Let's just say there was a very good reason they gave us two and a half weeks to work on it.  :banghead:
Oh, and I also had to finish a history paper last night on top of the statics project.

At least that's it for major assignments.  I think all I really have left before finals is a couple of midterms.

I really, really (really) want to get drunk tonight. I have the booze to do so, too, and I need to drink it before I leave. But I'd be drinking more or less alone, and I can't really afford a hangover tomorrow. My clever brain says more than two or three tonight is a bad idea. But the urge is strong, nonetheless. :\

That said, I should (finally) be back home from work by Friday night. There will be free flowing scotch and rum that night, I can asssure you!

after some discussion on instant response chat a troubling misconception has come to our awareness

we would like to clarify that although fattuta does often manifest within the multiplicity, all battutas are not fat

in fact we are lean and trim

however we do admit that home cooking has somewhat degraded the legendary abs of battuta. they are now friendlier and softer, like your favorite pillow

also when we played sins of our solar empire all our capital ships were named in the following scheme:

id of battuta
abs of battuta
mighty thews of battuta

****ing rouge anti-spyware!  :mad2:

Hit my main PC out of the blue and pretty much shut the whole thing down. Some registry hacks and deletion of associated .exe's later, and I'm running a massive system uber-scan to try to find anything I missed. That'll take hours, though, and I'm not willing to risk restarting the computer until it's finished.

Luckily, my laptop is fine. Also luckily, no current homework projects necessitate the main PC, so I can use this until it's ready.

Bi-annual occasion: flu-symptoms that actually aren' t the flu.  I even looked them up and my symptoms do indeed suggest I have influenza, but as always, when I go to the hospital in this shape, they find absolutely nothing.

So I'm skipping out on going to the doctor this time.  They do not know what they are doing.  I do not want a spinal tap again.

Primary family computer was thoroughly compromised along with router, some dumbass turned the poor thing into a porn server (le sigh) and the hard drive died due to overexertion. It was so awesome 40 gb of bandwidth vanished in a few days and my fine-tuned Linux Mint ruined in a sea of porn (sorry kids, not the good stuff, crappy burnt out porn) and lots of gobbledy gook.

So, hammer time, shoot it full of holes, grind into a fine powder and feed it to the local seagulls or perform an excorcism with gun powder and fire?

I've noticed a certain life cycle with spam email.  The first time I receive a particular junk message it generally looks pretty legit.  The domain looks correct and the message is well formated.  For example I get a message indicating a package wasn't properly delivered by DHL from a "DHL" email account.  After about a week it seems to be passed off to the third or fourth stringers and the grammar/spelling gets progressively worse and the sender show up as jo****[email protected]

In other news we had another WWI tabletop dogfight session at work today unfortunately I got pulled into a meeting before I could do anything conclusive.  I was in advantageous position and had already scored some hits but at least my pilot didn't get shot down and lose my XP.

First half of the day was spent at riding lessons, we did some barrel races and I got to do some cantering which is a lot of fun.  Afterwards gassed up the truck then ran some grocery shopping.  On the way home I went to Fred's Franks for a full size Chorico, which was crazy delicious .  Later I fartleked for about 5K and did some solo longsword drills.

The best part of that film was definitely Natalie Portman. I wasn't expecting to see her since I saw Black Swan not so long ago, but despite that she stole the spotlight in every scene she appeared in. Zooey Deschanel was cute but is nothing compared to Portman.

We practiced left handed rapier at class tonight, which funny enough is a lot more comfortable a stance then right handed. 

In Mass Effect news I've pretty much wrapped up the side quests other than clearing out the rest of the Armstrong Nebula.  That just leaves Virmire, Ilos, the Citadel then hopefully I will have a valid character import for Mass Effect 2.  I've invested two ME runs on this Shepard and I really want to get her into Mass Effect 2 so I can charge the crap out of enemies :D

Took a private lesson with our historic weapon class instructor.  As a result of Kendo I tend to be very light on my feet whereas with actual live steel you want to be more stable, so he had me throw on a mail hauberk and practice footwork keeping my center of mass low.  Then we went through some more advanced Italian Longsword work that was a bunch of fun.  Longsword really is a wicked awesome system, in reality its magnitudes more brutal then its depicted in the media.

Kendo tonight, twas super fun as always.  We had an odd number of people with bogu (armour) so one of the sparring sessions was myself vs two of my classmates.  It was completely outside official Kendo standards but hell if it wasn't fun and hilarious.  I took a pretty hard shot to the upper forearm above the kote (gauntlet) during the sparring with our instructor so I figure I'll have a sweet black and blue tomorrow.

Rapier tonight.  I was the only student that showed up so we got to cover material nice and fast.  We started practice stabbing a tennis ball suspended by a rope from the ceiling cycling through the four wards, I might setup something similar in the backyard to practice with since its a good hand eye exercise.  Then we ran through some capo ferro plates that detailed some pretty cool fighting segments then wrapped up with a long sparring session.  Overall I'm liking Rapier more then I expected, its definitely a fighting form built for duels and crime rather then combat but it is still a good workout.

Went out to a party tonight, started fairly slow and so a few of the other guys and I went out to McDonald's, pestered a friend of ours there to use her employee discount on us, ****ed around on the way back to the party with a stolen shopping-trolley (with its passengers featuring a Dilmah and several large fries!) in our alcohol induced haze only to get there in time for the cops to show up. :(

And the worst part was that I was home by 8.30pm. Oh well. :)

(http://i54.tinypic.com/209kfhe.jpg)

Russian forces deployed in a concentrated position at the end of the table.  They sent a sizable force to oust my B Platoon from the heights.  Platoon B and elements of A Platoon engaged and pretty much decimated the Soviet contingent. 

The Pinko Commies fail to dislodge me from the heights:
(http://i56.tinypic.com/29pu2kz.jpg)

Meanwhile the bulk of the Soviet force finally crested the hill above the town Platoon A was entrenched in.  My command Panzer IV managed to destroy one of the T34 before he in turn heroically died for the Fatherland in a volley of 76mm fire.  One of my Panthers where imobilized and disarmed before the crew lost a morale check and bailed out.  A second Panther was also immobilized, and facing a massed line of T-34s I had the two undamaged Panthers of Platoon A regroup with Platoon B on the hill.  At which point we had to take five until tomorrow, currently mein Germans have knocked out 6 T-34s  and 2 immobilized at the cost of a destroyed Panzer IV, Panther and another immobilized Panther.   

Despite some initial success there are still more Reds then you can shake a 7.5 cm KwK 42 at.

So tomorrow we'll see if ze Germans can pull off the win and secure the area for hefeweizen production or go kaput.

Um, is there a problem? It's a statue, so what?

I mean, we've got plenty of statues done by art students on my university campus, and they've got similarly fictional subject material (and some of it is nonsensical modern art stuff), and no one cares/complains/has an adverse reaction (Well, except to the modern art one, it's.. not good)

Only difference is I don't think this thing was built with tax money. From what I had read, volunteers designed and built it while donations paid for materials. No harm; no foul.

And before anyone complains about how these donations should have gone towards ending world hunger, curing cancer, or one of a thousand other good causes, realize that these were donations specifically for the construction of this statue.



In other news, I'm going to see Fast #5 today. The cinema will probably be packed but oh well.

I cooked up a pair of steak tips and made a garden salad for lunch.  Since the weather today is outstanding I sat out on the steps at the office and ate.  I was immensely entertained by the titanic clash of two American Goldfinches as they battled over the rights to the tree in front of the office.

It was hilariously awesome for couple reasons, namely the fact that they needed to balance the wrestling bits with staying airborne so the whole thing turned into this vertical affair where they slowly dropped out of the sky in fits and starts while they battled before needing to concentrate on attaining attitude to continue the dogfight.  Eventually they needed to take a 30 second breather to catch there breath where they sat huffing and puffing on a branch before continuing.  Additionally they where cursing the hell out of each other for whole time but being little birds it was just a torrent of musical chirps.

Day two spelled disaster for my German forces' hopes of seizing the table top for the purpose of growing hops, flax and hemp.  Initially my forces kicked off the battle by popping a few more T-34/76s, including a valiant stand by my immobilized Panther in the town.  Eventually the Soviet forces managed to kill the Panther and began advancing en masse towards my forces on the hill.  I broke off a pair of Panthers to lay in wait in the second village to fire into the flanks of the forces heading towards my hilltop.  Unfortunately the Soviets maintained the initiative for the majority of the late game and pummeled the hell out of my hill top position before I could effectively answer back.  With only a single survivor from my hilltop position and the flanking element in the town against a numerically superior Russian force I decided to withdraw my remaining three Panthers and concede the field.

Heh, yeah, I don't know how much of a crossover audience they had there. :p

Our local newspaper has a big used book/CD/DVD/VHS/whatever sale going on this week to support their local education initiatives, so my mom and I stopped by to check it out.  We'll head back tomorrow too, since they have an absurd amount of stuff, and it's $10 for everything you can stuff in a bag.  Mixed in with the CDs were some old computer games, mostly a lot of the classic Freddi Fish/Pajama Sam sort of educational stuff.  I did get my hands on copies of the original Call of Duty, Mechwarrior 4, MS Combat Flight Simulator Europe, and an old game called Glover that I'd once played on the N64. I didn't even get much into the books, so it'll be fun to see what I can dig up tomorrow.

I babysat my kid cousins tonight, they're pretty funny so it was good times.  We played some Wii, specifically Mario Cart and Sports Resort while they simultaneously used me as a set organic monkey bars.   After I sent them to bed I took the opportunity to read the Mass RMV Motorcycle Manual.  I'm considering applying for a permit and signing up for classes at a riding school in Beverley.  I've a quick easy commute to work which would be a nice ride, especially around the lake.   My Tundra eats winter conditions and is generally a blast but its a bit of a big bruiser in summer and with rising gas prices 40 something miles to the gallon sounds pretty good.  I've the funds to buy one outright but I think I will instead take out a small loan and use it to build up my credit score.  Right now I'm initially looking at a couple bikes, specifically the Honda Shadow Phantom, Ducati GT1000 or Ducati Monster.  I'll need to go visit a dealership to get a feel for the size of the bikes, my major concern is that it needs to fit my tall frame and not be like a clown on a minibike.

Post by: Delta_V on May 04, 2011, 12:01:22 am
In Calc 3, some of it's not too bad, but other parts were a pain in the ass.  Although this might have been because my professor was strange and didn't always follow the order of the book, so figuring out what sections were what and what problems you should be doing was tricky (he didn't actually assign homework in class).  Hell, some of the stuff he covered wasn't even in the book.  That, combined with his thick accent (seriously, sometimes understanding what he was saying was damn near impossible) made that class more trouble than it should have been.

The one class I'm actually going to miss from this semester is The Military History of the United States 1900-present.  It was a crapload of work, but was really interesting.  For instance, do you have any idea how many problems around the world today can be traced back to idiotic U.S. and Soviet policies in the 1950s?  The class is even more badass because before coming to my university, the professor taught at West Point.

On the subject of rain:

Yesterday I went out into the city in my two hour break to meet a friend. When I left uni it was a bit cloudy but there was still sunlight. But when it was time to return to uni, it was POURING with rain, as well as storming and being rather windy. Despite my umbrella, my shoes and socks were wet through.

I went out to the beach to exercise just now. I had barely finished when I heard the rain coming, so I raced it to the nearest shelter, about 150m away. Just as I ran under it, the sky opened. Talk about close. :D

I've decided to swap out my less frequent, more intense exercise regiment for a less intense, more frequent one after realising, at the end of my exercise routine yesterday, that although my body can probably handle quite a bit of what National Service will throw at me, my heart won't. I'm currently doing twenty sit-ups, twenty push-ups, fifteen inclined pull-ups and jogging for about 400 metres, and even that is enough to leave me completely breathless for about ten to fifteen minutes.

Light jogging, brisk but not power walking, cycling, swimming any of them for 30+mins a day or light weights (a couple of bean cans would also do the job) with many repetitions.  basically you are looking to work your body over a prolonged, preferably unbroken, period of time, ideally over 30 minutes) to improve your bodies ability to take in and process oxygen which means keeping your heart rate in this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Exercise_zones.png) range

I finally got back to that big used-book sale that I hit up last week.  Picked up a whole bunch of books...a bit of Asimov and Clarke, since my sci-fi-fu is sorely lacking, two-thirds of a Star Wars trilogy by Stackpole that I think I heard people praising somewhere around here, four or five original James Bond novels, a random volume from the X-Wing series (Bacta War, I think), the sequel to Dune (which I still haven't read yet), and probably a few other things I'm forgetting.  I also stumbled across a vinyl copy of music from Return of the Jedi, as well as an old-school huge-box copy of the original Unreal Tournament.  And to top it all off...I found some sort of special copy of X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter which has a "Not for Resale" sticker on the front, which makes me think it was some sort of promotional copy.  There's a burned CD with a "Master Disk" label alongside the normal game CD, so I'm not even sure what's up with it, but it should be fun to poke through.

All in all, what I call a good haul. :D

I went for my usual exercise routine today. Because I left the house 20 minutes later than yesterday, I compensated by speeding everything up while at the same time increasing the quantity of each set of exercises I'm doing.

I've also changed my bedsheets while listening to the MIDI files from SimCity 2000 on a customised instrument line up. Good times.

Just got back from my Calc 3 final.  There was one problem that nobody I talked to had any idea how to do.  I'll throw it out here and see if anyone here knows how to handle this.

The equation:  G(x,y) = F( F(x,y), x+y) )
You're given the following partial derivatives: dG/dx = 5, dF/dy = 1
F(x,y) = 0
Find all possible values of dF/dx (partial derivative of F w/ respect to x)

Normally, you'd use the chain rule, for instance, if G(x,y) = F(u,v) and u and v are functions of x + y.  But w/ the chain rule, you'd be taking something like dF/dF, so I didn't know where to start.
Anyone here have an idea?

Blah, that notation is confusing the hell out of me, mainly the usage of two capital F's, along with the x+y bit and being told that F(x,y)=0.  Are you sure this is written correctly?  (I also notice mismatched delimiters).

If by any chance the problem is accurately written like this:
G(x,y)=F(u(x,y),v(x,y)), with additional conditions ∂G/∂x=5, ∂F/∂y=1, and u(x,y)=0 (not sure on last one), then that might make more sense.

Given that ∂G/∂x=5, that means G(x,y) = ∫5dx+?y = (5x+C1+?y) where C1 is a constant and ?y represents any function of y (eg 5y, cosy, ey, etc).

For F you need to use the Chain Rule, which says that ∂F/∂y=(∂F/∂u)(du/dy)+(∂F/∂v)(dv/dy).  Being told that ∂F/∂y=1 as well as v(x,y)=0, that leaves (∂F/∂v)(dv/dy)=1. 

Thus our F function equals (0,?x+1y+C2), which also equals our G function.  In short,
(5x+C1+?y)=(?x+C2+y).

The problem asks for all possible values of ∂F/∂x that satisfy this.

...but then that still doesn't make sense, since it could be anything... :|

(5x+C1+?y)=(?x+C2+y).

The problem asks for all possible values of ∂F/∂x that satisfy this.

...but then that still doesn't make sense, since it could be anything... :|

:massive shrug:

Yeah, that's how it was written on the test.  F(F(x,y), x+y) basically means F(u,v), where u=F(x,y) and v=x+y, and according to the professor, both "F"s are indeed supposed to be the same function.  And that is the part that no one understood.  Normally, for F(u,v) you just follow the chain rule to get partial derivatives, which is usually pretty straight forward.

For the chain rule, you'd take dF/du, but since u=F, it didn't make any since.

Edit: One mistake: F(x,y)=0 is supposed to by F(1,1)=0, and everything is at the point (1,1).

Just finished painting my first lance of BattleTech minis.  I decided on a FWL 1st Knights of the Inner Sphere scheme; white basecoat with gold highlights.  Lance is made up of an Awesome, a Clint, an Assassin, and a Cicada.  Three fast skirmishers to back up a powerful anchor.

For a first effort, I am pleased with it.

I started writing an article yesterday about Ubisoft using the Silent Hunter series as a testbed for DRM schemes, before implementing them in mainstream titles.  I can't get more than halfway into it, before my mind turns to trying to formulate a horror movie set on a World War II submarine manned (almost) entirely by a crew with no eyes.  Silent Hunter IV players know exactly why this is such a natural transition to make.

Yes. Two ways. First was already mentioned. The second is to copy the entire Steam directory and then reinstall Steam on top of it. I personally keep my Steam directory on its own hard drive; it takes up 113GB.

So today I move out of my dorm room, say goodbye to all of my friends for at least a year each (one's going to England for six, one failed out of college, two are going to community college for a year, one's transferring to another school, one graduated, and one is moving off-campus for next semester).  One of them is in the middle of an emotional breakdown because of family issues, and I get to help with that (I'm not complaining about that part).  I'm going home to a family that can't support me living there, I have no job, in this market the odds of me getting a job are low, and I can't afford any further semesters of college without a job.

Happy birthday to me.

EDIT:  I suppose I could be greatful that nothing's making me freak the **** out lately.  Does that count as a birthday present?

I received a letter from the university I applied to earlier this year. They have rejected my application. As disappointing as it is, it wasn't completely unexpected.

The good thing is that I still have two years of National Service in front of me. If I still want to join the army of teachers in Singapore at the end of the two years, I'll take up relief teaching until they start accepting applications again.

Well if you're still keen on uni, you should think about coming down here after your 2 years. There are some harder unis to get into, depending on the course but for the most part I'm almost 100% sure you'll be able to find yourself a uni if you take a look. :)

Anyway, just got back from an indoor soccer game. Lost by 4 goals, aaargh! Given that it was after a cross country run in which I came 13th in my age group in (which I'm happy with, since I've done **** all running), it's almost passable.

Ah, thanks for that. Never would have found that function if I hadn't specifically been looking for it... actually the command in the right-click list was greyed-out for some reason, but under "Properties" the option still exists.

Much faster. Now my games are only taking a couple of hours to transfer and install.

Just a few more tweaks and this system should be fully up-and-running.

a young guy in my division at work died in a motorcycle accident on friday.  he was just a year ahead of me in the training branch, and just got engaged.  she is also in the training branch, about 6 months ahead of him.  we had a department get-together that was just about the worst thing i've ever been to.  i didn't even know the guy and i was all choked up.  that poor girl.  :(  our hardass instructor completely broke down and couldn't even get two words out.  then our branch head said something that just about made me start bawling in the middle of the room.  the guy's name was daniel.  the branch head was present at a very close friend's wife giving birth, as a godparent or something that same friday.  they had named their new daughter danielle.

Full night of Rapier and Dagger sparring.  We had a slew of new people in class so it was good times.  I still prefer combat oriented fighting systems but Rapier is fun and it is a good workout.  When I got home I demolished about half a carton of Brigham's.    I am looking into picking up some 1/285th micro armor for our work table top sessions and I'm waffling between a mixed US force of Easy 8s and M36s with infantry combat team support or a bunch of Panzers, either a mix of IVs and Tigers or a Panther/Jagdpanther force.

Take it as a life-lesson, I reckon. If you genuinely don't want to be there, then my advice, simply as a civvie is to take it easy and find some way out (legally, of course), because you're probably going to be a detriment to all the other blokes who turn up if you're hating every second of it. But I would encourage having an open mind to it. Who knows, you might make a bunch of great friends, learn some discipline and a trade while you're at it.

Would also encourage you (much to the negative words of blokes like Dekker :P ) to look at Officer entry and the people that fit the bill for it. Who knows, you might look at it and find yourself rather suited to that kind of role.

The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it's scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based. And if you can't find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don't deserve to wear that uniform!

Go on. Take it off.

All the way off.

You have to make sure it actually leads somewhere... Also do you toll booths on it?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: headdie on May 28, 2011, 10:14:26 am
Toll booths put people off using them.

the point of a highway is to provide your citizens with a high volume traffic route somewhere, usually from a larger residential area to commerce and industrial areas, they will only use it if they have a reason to.  Look for high traffic volume areas of your city and try to put the highway through that area in the direction of the traffic flow.

Make sure there are off-ramps near your busiest ground-level intersections.  Sims won't go way out of their way to use a highway or mass transit system, unless it takes them where they want to go.  If they need further encouragement, consider toll booths on some of the more heavily trafficked ground-level throughways.  Sometimes avoiding a toll is the gentle nudge your sims need to take the highway.  (And if it's not, then Cha-CHING!  I have whole cities that earn more in toll collection than property tax.)

If you can make it work, you'll find that in SC4, a robust, well-designed mass transit system will help your city grow.  I personally tend to use a combination of a couple of highways slicing straight through the city (usually the sole links to neighboring cities), with bus and subway lines backing it up and serving outlying areas.  Bottlenecks on the ground-level roads and highways tend to wind up with toll booths to generate revenue and encourage use of the bus and subway systems.  All these alternatives prevent any one of them from becoming tremendously congested, making it feasible for residents and jobs to really pack into your densely zoned areas, without winding up with buildings abandoned, due to workers being unable to commute there and back in a reasonable amount of time.

[edit] Also, the Route Query tool is your friend.  Find the congested intersections and bottlenecks in your town and see where the commuters in those areas are coming from and going to.  This will help you better place your on/off ramps and mass transit stops. [/edit]
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L I pity the fools that diss it.
Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on May 28, 2011, 12:29:41 pm
Okay, they are now using the highways to get to the adjacent towns. I've also zoned out the entire map, so the only thing left to do now is to get a mass transit system working. Subway's pretty expensive and boring, so I'm going to take a shot at setting up a bus network. Once this is done, the map I'm currently playing on will be more or less complete.

Agreed, my dogs have all been great, and the one I've raised from a pup smells cleaner than every cat I know and is a far greater companion than all of them.

The dog we rescued is a bit smelly, but that's because she suffers the skin allergies typical of her breed - we're just giving her a good, loving household until she passes on. (She's a very, very old dog)

Nobody i know would, but imbibing it in sufficient volumes would bring "downstairs" into contact with women of questionable repute. . . . . :drevil:

My 4-year-old daughter's best friend just moved away.  She seemed to be coping with it fairly well at first.  Then the night terrors started.  She appears to "wake up" screaming about 1.5 to 2 hours after falling asleep.  Her eyes are open, and she's saying things that sound like words, but most of them are incoherent.  At one point she was asking for "her bird" (a stuffed animal she'd left downstairs), then she was saying she was scared of the water filling up her bed.  I've no idea what to make of that one other than that we had gone swimming that day.  Every time so far, she's said "I'm scared!" over and over again.  She's not awake.  Not at all.  And she's virtually inconsolable.  She can't wake up, either.  The only thing that seems to work is hold her and agree with whatever she's saying and tell her to go back to sleep.  Eventually, it seems to take.

I've heard this is a stage kids sometimes go through, but I mean good grief, the child is obviously in pain.  I wish there was something I could do.

Night terrors are entirely normal (though very frightening for all involved), and what you're already doing is the best thing for her. Eventually the episodes will disappear on their own.

EDIT: Episodes of night terrors and hallucinations in our family tended to be triggered by not enough sleep, so see if getting more sleep will help things.

Aye aye, just continue to observe and make sure she doesn't hurt herself while flailing, it can be gutting. Trust me i do.

Is it only since her friend moved away?
Try a warm drink / night light / hot water bottle. Vary her usual routine (slightly, don't stick her on the roof or anything) minor changes one at a time may be just enough variance to help.

More sleep would help, I'm sure.  If she were willing.  She's been opposed / afraid to sleep since she was 6 weeks old.  I'm told it is a mark of a smart kid.  When she's not in her full-on scared-of-everything mode, it is like she just doesn't want to sleep because she doesn't want to miss anything or stop "experiencing" life.  She's having fun and doesn't want to stop.  Right now, it is more like she's afraid to ever be by herself.  She isn't talking about it right now, but for like 2 - 3 months awhile back she kept going on about being scared of the "dark outside," as in the darkness outside her room that she couldn't see.  We had enough (in my opinion too much) light in her room, but she was afraid of the darkness outside her room.  She would stay awake for hours staring at the crack under her door watching the light from the rest of the house.  When we turned the living room light off to go to bed, she'd totally freak out.  She's not afraid of monsters, she's afraid of the Dark (capitalization deliberate).  It may as well be a malevolent entity as far as she is concerned.  She hasn't been talking about the dark lately, but since her friend moved away, her behaviors have a similar flavor, if that makes any sense.

We've been trying to maintain a regular bed time around 9PM, but she'll stay awake as long as she can fight it.  I think she only got like 6 hours of sleep last night because of it.

I can't help but feel like I'm failing her as a father, whether it is rational to feel that way or not.

I'm not really looking for advice, though I'll certainly listen to any anyone has to offer.  Mostly I just need to tell someone.  That and writing it out sometimes helps me put my own thoughts into some kind of order.

That's not a bad thought.  I vaguely remember Mom giving me warm drinks of milk or somat before I went to bed.  (Childhood is something of a blur to me.)  Maybe we can move teeth brushing to the last thing before bed so we can end the night with some camomile or something.  I think I've got some orange herbal teas stashed away somewhere.  That might be a treat to her.

I experienced night terrors matching this description up through the end of elementary school (peaking in times of stress).  Just like you describe, I was more or less conscious during them, but not awake. It's a frightening sort of middle ground.

The good news is that what you're already doing, holding her and comforting her, does get through and provide solace. I don't think there's anything more you can do. (Gentle music while she's drifting off to sleep might help - it always set me at ease as a kid, though I don't know if it had any bearing on night terrors).

We do have a CD player with a sleep timer on it.  We used it to play music from The Nutcracker because she loves it so much.  (Funny how kids seize onto certain things.  She doesn't like classical music, she likes The Nutcracker.)  Unfortunately, what would happen is she would stay awake listening to it and only finally release her attention enough to go to sleep after the music shut off.  Sometimes, she'd just start crying when the music shut off.   At least some of the time it did seem to calm her, though.  She's so exhausted lately that it'll probably help more than hurt.  I'll try that again.

[idea]Maybe just set it on infinite repeat.  Maybe it will help to have the constant background.[/idea]

Why is my university so determined to be a ****ing joke?  They weren't quite this bad, when I started attending, but toward the end of my time there, The Daily Beacon started getting written by four-year-olds; the administration installed a revolving door, and now that I've graduated, they've started using obscenities for building names.  Can I trade my degree for one issued by a respectable institution?  Ugh.

Rapier and cloak tonight.  Yep, cloak.  Apparently it was common enough to be considered a legit style, its used mostly to entangle your opponent and subterfuge.  I personally prefer the dagger in the offhand but the cloak certainly opens up some interesting options.  Last night after Kendo our group rolled on over to the cinema and saw Hangover Part II, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

Just had a scare, the dog escaped a few mins ago thanks to the bottom gate being left open and my wife was out so I couldn't leave the house to go find her because the kids are in bed.  Fortunately the missus was only up the road so was able to come back and find the dog, thankfully safe and sound.

I can officially go buy M-rated games from retail stores, and see an R-rated movie without adult supervision, as of today.

Next year, I'll be able to legally smoke, vote, pay taxes, and act in a porno.

Here's to another year!

I've been watching through the UC Gundam stuff (that's the original Gundam timeline, for those of you who don't know). Pretty good so far, though it gets really cheesy sometimes (forgiveable, since it was made largely in the 80's). Also annoying that a full series of it was never released in America (Gundam ZZ).

At this point I'm wondering whether or not to shell out the money for the Gundam Unicorn DVD's... or Blu-Ray's.

Slowly crafting stowage for my 1/285th micro armor M4A3E8s.  Basically little bits of cut out styrene and gobs of greenstuff fashioned like blankets, bags and rucksacks.  Scratch building for a company is a tedious pain to be sure, but Allied armor isn't Allied armor lest its covered in crap. 

>>Edit

My Easy 8 company is pretty much wrapped up aside from painting. I found the stock model turrets to be a little short compared to the real deal, 76mm Shermans had kinda big turrets, so I took a little wire and made rings to add to the turret bottoms giving them the extra presence to look like the business.  With their enlarged turrets and loads of scratchbuilt stowage they look pretty sweet if I do say so myself.  My platoon of M24 Chaffees already has some stowage molded on the miniature so I'll leave them as is.  That just leaves the M36B1 Jackson platoon, which I'll probably add a few stowage items to the turret sides and maybe some stuff on the glacis.  Then I can move on to assembling the softskins; some M3 Halftracks, an assortment of deuce and a halfs, and a trio of M20 armored cars.  Then I can base coat the lot and get ready to go olive drab crazy.

Probably a little of both.  My coworker has a sizable complement of German and Soviet units so we can just as easily do either.  Korea might be fun since what I've read indicates M4A3E8s where on a semi even footing with the T-34/85, whereas they are still pretty much cat food for Panthers and Tigers.

Shots of?

To answer, it's normally a LONG slog. A definite investment of time, and money. Shots don't do much alone. Start on about five+ beers (PINTS NOT BOTTLES) switch to a dark spirit like whisky or dark rum, then hit the tequila / BLACK sambucca. The only thing i wont touch is GIN. The devils water :ick:


I hate it :ick:



I normally post last thing after a five to nine hour session. So draw your own conclusions.

Anywho, went to Kendo had lots of fun then we rolled over to the cinema and saw First Class which was awe-some.  Michael Fassbender played a great emotionally tortured Nazi hunter, James McAvoy did a great job as the idealist swinging Xavier, heck and I gotta give Kevin Bacon kudos for playing a sinister villain.

I, for one, would not want to serve on an aircraft carrier named for someone who became known for falling over/off of things (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Gerald_Ford).  Also, defending western democracy from aboard a ship named for someone who was never elected to the two highest offices he held seems ever so slightly wrong.

On topic, I checked my checking account balance today, and it was about three times what I expected it to be.  Granted, I wasn't expecting to find a lot, but I've got my expenses covered for a few months longer than I had originally estimated, even after paying my stupidly high car insurance premium.

Personally I prefer the old tradition of naming ships after other ships lost in combat, retired or even historic military events. I say bring back the Lexington , Yorktown, Wasp and others that haven't been used in a while. I hate the new tradition of naming warships after politicians.

the ones named after politicians were named BY politicians.  pretty much limitied to carriers.  the los angeles class fast attack subs are named for cities, and the virginia fast attack and ohio boomers for states.  the rest are named for a smattering of things like battles, military leaders, etc.

The Halo 4 teaser trailer showed Master Chief putting something on his gun, therefore weapon attachments are a confirmed feature in Halo 4, and therefore Halo 4 is too much like CoD.

So I went fartleking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek) for about three miles I generally try to fit in as many 400ft sprints in between running as I can.  Anyway when I got home I sat in the backyard to cool out just in time for a big doe to mosey on by.  Big and healthy looking she was quite the sight. 

Some more 1/285th micro armor I ordered arrived in the post today, a platoon of M-26 Pershings, a battery of M2A1 105mm howitzers, some more CCKW Deuce and a Halfs and a few  WC-57 Dodge scout cars.  Add that to my M4A3E8 company and my other assorted combat team units and I'll have a good force for doing some late ETO and Korea games.   I hope to get em all customized and on the table soon see if I can manage to not get eaten by my coworker's Tigers and Panthers.  If I pick up a company of M5A1s and another of M4A1 (76)Ws in the future then that will give me a force capable of doing most ETO scenarios. 

I actually recently acquired an interesting book analyzing the Sherman vs Panther battles in the Ardennes.  I hadn't really appreciated what an over engineered unreliable ****box the Pzkw Vs where.  Lucky if you could get even 150km out of them before their transmissions suffered a critical failure, and the quality control and materials had pretty much hit rock bottom by the Bulge.

Yes, but the specific symbols depend on accent. Anything I write down is likely to be in Southwestern American English, which does have some slight differences from standard American English.

That's what this thread started out as, no?

I've been playing Rome: Total War for the last few days (and X-COM: UFO Defense).  Playing as the Julii Romans, I control Italy from near Rome all the way north, the south-west 3/4 of France, the south half of Germany, the west third of the Balkans, and the east fifth of the Iberian Peninsula.  Gaul is a pitiful city in mid-Spain, Macedon has been destroyed at my hand, the Spanish are begging for mercy, the Britons appease me with cash to avoid a war they know they can't win, and Germany is getting royally ****ed by everyone in the area.  Pretty soon, I'll have all of Europe, and the only real hurdle to that is the Scythians, who control west of Germany.

Indeed.  I'm a little over 70 turns in at this point.  70 turns has yielded me 16 territories.  Just barely more than 30% of the victory condition.

Truth be told I'd rather be playing as Parthia, but I had to start my first campaign as a Roman faction.  I got good at killing damn near anything with those horse archers and Persian cavalry.  On Medium difficulty, I held a bridge against nearly 2000 hoplites and more than a hundred Seleucid cavalry with one Eastern General unit and four units of horse archers.  Total size: less than 300 riders.  Killed 5000 assorted infantry and cavalry on that bridge over the course of six battles without being able to leave for retraining.  Needless to say, they were probably the most experienced riders in the world at that point (less than 20 turns in).

...how?

It's actually pretty easy.  I basically just needed some thin styrene sheets, modeling putty and a bit of aluminum foil, well and some wire.  The wire was looped around a screw driver for shape and used to make turret rings for the M4A3E8s because I felt the stock turret seemed a little squat compared to the genuine article.  I did the entire company one night a week or so ago.  As for the stowage I cut the styrene into various tiny box shapes for the various crates and other sundries.  The aluminum foil was cut into little squares to be used as tarps and the putty was formed into little ruck sacks and bags.  These I arranged in various piles on the rear deck of the Sherman hulls.  As for the sandbags I again used the putty, rolled it into a long millimeter thick tube that I cut up into tiny sandbag shapes and arranged haphazardly on the glacis plates of a few of the Shermans and Jacksons.  Done assembly line style it probably only took a couple hours across two nights to do all twenty tanks and it does add a lot of individual character to the vehicles. 
For my next trick I might cut up some infantry models to use as crew in the open top M36B1s.  Then I can wash the M-26 platoon, various softskins, halftracks and the 105mm battery and get to work assembling and customizing them.  Then it's on to paint the OD paint scheme should be fairly easy and I've looked over some good tutorials on the web.  Assuming they come out looking good and I can find a camera with decent macro I'll post some pics of the final products.

Kendo tonight got some bruises from working with some rookies as they learn Do strikes and they managed to hit where the armor isn't but hey being all banged up is pretty badass so black and blue here I come. I also had a great sparring session with the instructor it was quite a bit of fun.  We were planning to see Green Lantern tonight but there was road construction on the highway and traffic was screwed up; that compounded with the slew of negative reviews was more then enough for me to save my dinero.  Hopefully we might opt for Super 8 next week.

I also picked up a slew of Osprey Publishing books on Allied Armor.  I've copies for the M4 (76), M24, M26 and the M36 which covers all my current AFVs and I've been pouring through them.  I want to put off using the Pershings for now and am focusing on how to employ my M4A3E8s, M24s and M36B1s to maximum effect.  Even with 76mm HVAP ammo my Easy 8s are not going to be able to penetrate a Panther's front glacis at any range but I have a chance against the mantlet at combat ranges and I can swiss cheese the flanks and rear.  Looking at the damage tables I think HVAP might be able to crack a Tiger I though, its got 100 mm front plate and 120mm on the mantlet, HVAP should punch through 175mm at 0 degrees at 1000m.  Tiger Is don't have much in the way of sloped armor so I figure I might have a chance.  Unfortunately given the shortages of tungsten I'll be lucky if I have one or two rounds of HVAP per M4 and the standard AP round's performance is pretty meh.  At the very least the 90mm on my M36B1s should be able to duel Tiger Is so I'll need to husband my TDs as much as possible.  Course German guns can pretty much murmaider everything in my arsenal at any range so I'm going to have to really craft my tank tactics if I'm going to survive.  It's pretty obvious US Army command was not on the friggin ball when it came to tank development and the threat modern German armor was going to pose.  Quite a few Generals had their heads crammed far up there rear orifices and Allied tankers paid dearly for that FUMTU situation.

Depends on how you look at it. Engaging tanks is the province of your TDs according to doctrine of the time. The prototypes of US tanks to fight Panthers and Tigers (T20/T23) were ready in late 1942, but it was believed the Panther and Tiger were too expensive for mass production and they'd be fighting Pz IVs. The 76mm-armed Sherman was sufficient for that.

They were right about the Tiger. Not so much about the Panther.

The problem with the TD doctrine was that it was formed as a reaction to the 1940 blitz on France and while it might have been useful in the defensive posture it was designed for it was useless for offense which was pretty much the point of the ETO.  The US was pretty much the only nation to use this FUBAR approach and it was pretty obvious as early as Tunisia that it was made of fail.  Unfortunately the fools in charge of shaping design and procurement A) had some silly ideas about armored warfare and B) worked on a battle need reaction policy.  So they actively tried to stomp the proto Pershings out and by the time battle conditions finally stopped them from dragging their feet it was to late to finish development in time to make a difference.  All in all in the end the M4 was still a war winning tank but the Germans had battle winning ones.

Went to the Groton House Farm Horse Trials to watch the cross country event.  It was pretty awesome, cross country is a timed point to point event across a mix of forest and fields with a set of jumps interspersed all along the course.  Since its all over hill and dale as a spectator you can only really take in a small segment, similar to a Rally race, but they cycle through riders fast enough that there isn't much of a break in the action.  My novice skill level in horsemanship isn't anywhere near what it would be to try something like this but it's certainly something to aspire to, it looks like damn good fun. 
Though I noticed while looking through the event program that out of 300 plus riders probably less than ten are men.  Considering that riding is a such physically and mentally demanding sport, I am surprised it doesn't seem to be that popular with men.  Not that I'm complaining that it's mostly made up of cute athletic females.

Playing through the game Shadowgrounds again, an old-school-style top-down shooter that I first played on GameTap and then picked up on Steam during a sale.  The story's completely generic, but that doesn't matter when you're mowing down waves of aliens with a nice variety of weapons.  The use of stencil shadows adds a great atmosphere, too.  I'll probably get to the sequel right afterwards.

At the very least it was incredible lame and uninventive, you should refrain from insult posting until you get better matériel.  If you have to resorted to unsubstantiated speculation on your target's IRL situation then your insult has already failed horribly.

Happened to run through the Alpha Shade web comic again on a whim.  Unfortunately a few years ago it went into holding pattern after about two hundred forty pages which was just enough to really lay some great foundation.  It had some nice art and great WWI Punk tech plus the multi dimensional layout coupled with all the warring houses and political machinations the authors set up had some serious potential.

On my average nights i get ZERO. It's all about positive presentation. I'mhardly gonna sing and dance about NOT getting any :lol:

But again........no such thing as bad practice. On my best night ever i snogged two cousins, got them to snog each other, while i was holding them up on the dance floor. Then left them, went to another bar. Scored, repeat. Went back to the first place, chose one of the girls.

Rapier and severed head tonight.  It acts similar to the swinging and subterfuge qualities of the cloak but also with more impact damage since you can swing it by the hair and has mass.  It was actually surprisingly effective, unfortunately the assistant instructor kept up a litany of incredibly lame puns about heads that detracted from the seriousness of the action.  It was the last night of the section so we got to utilize anything from the entire system so we pretty much sparred for an hour.  As much as I generally deride fencing style swordplay as not a combat practical system it is pretty fun and when used in the context of what it was designed for, duels and crime, its an very effective art. 

Additionally I got picked up as a backup Kendo instructor for the school I attend for historic weapons and Kendo.  There current assistant instructors are going to be a way for half a year at Guard boot camp sot they needed someone to fill in and I fit the bill.  So if our regular instructor is out I will run the class.  It also means I will need to go to their staff meetings after class on Wendsday nights whose content 90% of the time doesn't really effect me in the slightest.  On the plus side is afterward my historic weapons and Kendo instructors hold an informal training period for an hour and a half to work on stuff for the curriculum.  Right now they are putting together a program for Jogo do Pau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jogo_do_Pau).  Jogo do Pau is a Portuguese stick fighting art that to me looks like the bastard child of the longsword and staff that's amazing awesome and hawt.  I'm very stoked at the prospect of adding it to my repertoire.

I had a professor like that at UTK.  He literally taught for the test, going over each question, step-by-step a week before the exam, with the expectation that you would reproduce those steps from memory, instead of trying to work the problem on exam day.  If you didn't reproduce every line, exactly as he had done it, even if you arrived at the same answer, using similar/the same method, then you were wrong.  He'd even dock points for not using the same notation.  I was only lucky that at the end of that particular semester he decided that because I clearly understood the content (as I had covered most of it in high school), even through I wasn't memorizing and regurgitating his solutions on the exams, he was going to raise my grade from an 'F' to a 'C'.

In hindsight, it might have been better to fail the course and retake it with a better professor, but at the time (and it wasn't that long ago), UT reserved its best professors in the Math Department for the upper-level courses.  If you were pursuing those upper-level courses, though, it was like trying to build a house on a foundation of sand.  You have very little hope of understanding anything in a Partial Differential Equations (435) course, if your ODE (231), Matrix Algebra (251), and Calculus II (142)/III (241) courses were all ****.

Incidentally, I think that running the Math Department that way is a big contributing factor to why the Physics Department maintains such a lousy retention rate.

In all fairness, if you're looking for a super-deep, turn-based strategy game, there's absolutely nothing wrong with CivIV.  The stated reason for CivV being a complete overhaul has never been that CivIV was fundamentally broken, but that CivIV had taken the old Civ formula as far as it could be taken.

Ran a clan battle in WoT for the first time. Surprisingly, we weren't all wiped out. Even more surprisingly, we traded nearly one for one with the hostiles considering they had us completely outclassed.

Of course we all rushed the valley because we figured we were doomed, so it was a little skewed. But there's something hilarious about having the arty charge in over the first ridge with the mediums just for the epic "****it" and surviving the experience.

Are you sure you weren't lapsing into unconsciousness and in your haze, missed the fact your mates called an ambulance and subsequently had your stomach pumped in the hospital, leaving you hydrated when you woke up in your bed this morning?

Happened last year to a bloke I knew - I was the one who berated him for drinking so much and scooped the vomit out of his mouth before the ambulance came, and he said something similar to me the morning afterwards, completely oblivious to the fact he'd been sent to hospital. :P

There's no reason for me to not be civil with her. :)  I'd be thrilled if we end up going out again as a first step. If not, she's a lovely girl and i'd be gutted to not have her in my life.. even as a friend. Also, (and i'm quite notorious for doing this) should she take another man as her own, i just take pride in the fact that "i was there first" and he'll be "foraging in my porridge" as it were.


So, there's always a small iota of immaturity with me whatever the case may be  ;7

Had a really crazy FS-related dream last night, which I think was caused by watching one of the commentary videos that Battuta and The E did for War in Heaven.  I was playing a random FS campaign while in the same room as them, while they provided that same sort of commentary about what was going on.  All I can remember about the campaign is that I was using a crazy combination of Kinect-esque motion control and a keyboard, and I was having major trouble killing a super-fast and resilient escape pod.  Oh, and I was in a Valkyrie that had all of its subsystems KO'd at one point. :p

"Just think Artoo the odds of him managing to get disabled in a dogfight with an unarmed escape pod where approximately 3,720 to 1."

We've wrapped up Rapier in historic weapons class and have moved onto kite shield and arming sword.  After the staff meeting the my historic weapons teacher, Kendo instructor and myself went through some more Jogo do Pau stuff which is a really cool system.

Clubbing seal babys is sooo yesteryear.
You should practice clubbing guys who club baby seals! That's more interesting, more challenging and you get famous!
Just think about all the naked PETA chicks that will do anything for you!
You'll be awesome, and you get cool nicknames like "the green pimp"!
People all over the world will want to be like you, you'll be an idol! Men will envy you.
You get lotsa money from sponsors and you can buy lotsa bling-bling, cars, and fur coats made of clubbed seal baby fur.

It is, in the words of Darren McLannen, "an endless hideous rant in a language which is indistinguishable from English but which is not English."

What does it actually say? Nobody really knows. It's no longer clear Gene Ray, its creator, knows, but he does believe.

Me, I'm just hear because I have a fascination with things gone terribly, terribly wrong.

I have a week and a half to crack it. I already know a fair bit. She+s EERILY like my ex. We have made an initial personality click, I am using my experience in life to build rapport which I can then gain trust. Said trust can then be exploited before freshers week. She even has the same name as my ex, but five years younger. I am a BAD person. I blame lack of boom boom for this preternatural drive to boom boom.

Not where I'm from, either. They license differently for different sizes of vehicles but all individual/family cars are under the same license--no matter manual or automatic transmissions. Ultimately, it's up to you to either learn manual or burn clutches.

Once you've driven stick enough it basically becomes second nature, you don't consciously think about clutch and gear anymore it just naturally happens.  At that point traffic and hills really don't become much of an issue.  Compared to the degree of control I can attain in a manual transmission, I find automatic just sloppy and awkward.

Both of these quoted for truth. I prefer driving manual, but that might be cause I don't usually drive during peak hour. In the end, it comes down to personal preference and everyday driving conditions.

I'm going for a manual license, originally because I don't wish to be restricted to automatics (which could be awkward if I ever need to drive someone's car and it's a manual). Over here you can either have an automatic license (allows automatic only) or a manual license (allows both manual and automatic). Although my plan was to get an automatic car once I got my provisional license, I'm considering sticking to manual completely (since then I can get my own car while I'm on my learners to use).

It is indeed DAYMNN hot. Especially when you don't have AC in your car. Hydrate out there, chaps.

Speaking of cars, somebody just hit mine with theirs. At rest, behind the engineer I was supposed to shadow for the afternoon, some contractor from Illinois tried to get into the right lane and took out my right tail light. So, instead of going to the County Government Center to observe legal issues in engineering contracts, I got to call the police and the insurance company. Oh what joyous fun.

Earlier today, on my way to work, another contractor's truck lost a coil of flexible black corrugated pipe just in front of me. Watch out for those contractors, mentlegens...

Wow that sucks. :/  Could be worse though, imagine waking up one late morning to your buddy calling you, asking "Dude where's my wtf did you do to your car!?" and as you wipe the nonsense from your eyes, look out the window and go "wtfuuuuuu?" you realize someone did a hit and run on your car while you were asleep...  :|

4 at a time. My problem isn't format--it's file size. Most of my library is FLAC. My music folder is 235 GB. I have a 32GB iPod Nano. 1448 tracks takes 1 hour 47 minutes; 13.5 tracks a minute. It'll take another 4-5 hours I think. Then I get to setup an MP3-specific copy.

Trying to find a name for a particular sort of armor, basically a forearm guard. Closest wikipedia comes is a Roman manica, but that's segmented and covers three sides, which works for another character but not this one. Not a vambrace, only covers the upper surface of the arm.

Bracer? Gauntlet? I only know what I've heard from games and such :nervous:
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's NEVER Over!!!!
Post by: Flipside on July 26, 2011, 08:13:33 pm
Strictly speaking, a Bracer is a piece of leather protection used by a Bowman to protect against his own weapon hitting him on release ;) I used one when I used to do Archery.

Whilst a vambrace only covers the upper forearm in standard definitions, it's one of those names that applied to a full forearm guard later on and can apply to both, so it's probably the closest you'll get unless you use something like Lower Cannon, but that conjours up the idea of some kind of Steampunk Mech, which, whilst awesome on several levels, probably isn't what you are looking for ;)

Edit: In truth, Vambrace is more commonly known as the full-arm protector according to Wikipedia. So a Semi-Vambrace might be an acceptable term, but as I understand it, Vambraces were around in 'Semi' form before modern steel armour with the full carapace was invented. - Edited after you posted :/
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's NEVER Over!!!!
Post by: NGTM-1R on July 26, 2011, 08:22:57 pm
Yeah, wikipedia gives "Lower Cannon" as archaic for "vambrace" anyways, but it describes vambrace as offering full for at least three-surface protection, I'm looking for one.

I think I'm going to end up with bracer. Or I'll just copy the Roman term.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's NEVER Over!!!!
Post by: Flipside on July 26, 2011, 08:31:20 pm
Oddly enough bracer is probably the right description, except that it was worn on the inside of the arm rather than the outside by archers, and only on the non-draw arm. The RPG concept of them being like wristbands is the one that winds me up ;)

NY:

+PIZZA! **** yeah!!!
-Difficulty finding a good apartment
-Car infeasible

NC:
+More disposable income?
+Good apartment far easier
-Away from "home"

We worked on kata tonight at Kendo, afterwards we went and saw Captain America.  Overall I thought it was pretty cool, not a Dark Knight mind but pretty damn good besides.  Actually I think an extra half hour would have been worthwhile since they had to cram a ton of stuff into the ending which made it really "busy."  Chris Evans, Haley Atwell and Tommy Lee Jones all did a great job.  My major gripes would be Red Skull not being really well developed and Hydra in general.  Lets face it, Nazis make great villains, they've got snappy uniforms, intimidating accents and lots of cutting edge tech, especially the stuff that didn't make it off the drawing board.  I really didn't need leather clad space men with laser guns and armored vehicles more advanced then a Stryker.  They constantly broke immersion for me and looked comical in general.  Panzer Grenadiers with a smattering of some "what if" tech would have done it a lot more justice instead of the hyper advanced Hydra that was presented. 

Still, overall I found it quite enjoyable.  Next week I think we'll make a run at Cowboys & Aliens, which I think is either going to be the best thing ever of a complete train wreck.

I used to live in Maspeth. Last time I visited I was out by Coney Island. If I move there again, it definitely needs to be near the subway and spend minimal time commuting. Not minimal possible, but minimal affordable. I've seen the new BoA tower. I've gotta picture of it from the ESB.

A couple actually...

The first one is that alien probes (both normal and jamming types) don't appear when engaged, so research uploads get set back until the probe expires.
The second is that pirate bases don't appear so I keep on having to put up with their **** with no way to end it.
And the third is that the alien bases don't appear when my ships engage, thus preventing the ability to win.

The strange thing is though, is that all of these actually show up when doing skirmish instead of campaign when they're needed.

After a long break I finally pulled out the 1/285th Micro Armor and pretty much finished all my pre-paint customization (though I'm still considering the daunting task of fashioning crew for the open turrets of the TDs).  All the stowage and sand bags I've scratch built will add quite a bit of individual character to my units which otherwise would have been pretty bland due to the homogeneous paint scheme maintained by the Allies. Next step will be base coating the lot and eventually going OD green crazy on them.

My current available Task Org is as follows:

Armored Vehicles:
15 M4A3E8 Medium Tanks
5   M24 Light Tanks
5   M26 Heavy Tanks
5   M36B1 Tanks Destroyers

Halftracks:
5   M3A1s
1   M15A1 MGMC
1   M16 MGMC

Softskins:
10 GMC CCKWs
1   GMC CCKW 750 Gal
3   M20 Utility Cars
5   Dodge WC 56s

I also have some 105mm M2A1 howitzers that I want to build into an artillery battery diorama, but in game terms indirect fire is going to be coming from off board for most scenarios.  While I have procrastinated in getting my force table ready in the meantime I've been busy procuring and absorbing as much info as possible on my equipment and tactics.  I have been pouring through the Osprey Publishing books dealing with the specific AFVs in my forces as well as material dealing with tactics and operations.  Though as I read through the interwar development of the Armored Force and especially the operations conducted to breakout of Normandy I find myself pretty flabbergasted at the incompetence shown by the upper echelons of the Allied commands.  Its rather disheartening how many men and material where wasted due to the inability of the western allies to develop tank doctrine and technology compounded with damn foolish Ops like Goodwood, Spring, Bluecoat and Totalize.  On the plus side 3rd Army's exploits in the Lorraine, the Polish 1st Armored Division's closing of the Falaise Gap, and Cobra give me hope that the proper tactics my armor can overcome the on paper superiority of the Wehrmacht's Cats. 
As I've been digging a level deeper into WW2 it's also become obvious how downplayed the Soviet Red Army's technique was in the view of the West.  While tactically Soviet units where generally below German and the Western Allies' skill level all the way up to around the brigade or division, strategically Stavka was operating in a league of its own way beyond the Wehrmacht, US and Britain.  The Soviet Strategic Offensives with their use of mass, deep battle and operational maneuver literally tore apart the Germans and are especially impressive when compared to the set of fumbles the Normandy breakout was composed of. 
In any case hopefully I can have my units ready for table top ops by mid August and see how I stack up against my coworker's forces.

First, I must ask in advance your forgiveness for such a lengthy, and picture-intensive post.  If someone wants to mod it, I'd be okay with that.



This has been one crazy, crazy summer.  First year of real college ended, shortly after my mother disowned me, leaving me facing homelessness.  I worked at school, so my job ended with the year.  It seemed like everything was caving in at once.  What's more, the way college funding works in the US, I need parental info to get any kind of financial aid, and my mom wasn't even talking to me.  Going to a 30,000/yr school is impossible without aid...

I live in a town with nearly 20% unemployment.  Finding a job has proven impossible.  Luckily, the school was willing to work with me on staying in the dorm for the summer.  On top of that, I had enough savings/random, out-of-the-blue gifts/odd jobs to sustain myself for the last 4 months, though there were times when the bank account was down below $4...

I had two cancer scares in two months, which led my mom and I sorta making amends, but then a little argument exploded, and no more.  I'm still fighting to secure financial aid, still don't have a stable job,  and am barely getting by.  Oh.  And I'm supposed to have knee surgery before the summer's over.

All that said, I'm getting by, and am very, very grateful for that.  I got to spend a week working/playing on a house boat out on a lake mixing sound for an event band, which is one odd job that I love and will NEVER say no to.  Met some cool people, found out that people aren't all as bad and evil as people would have us believe,


Pretty much the biggest consequence is that I'm now a rather frequent insomniac.  However, this hasn't been so bad, as it's allowed me to pick up a new, awesome hobby I'm sure all of you can appreciate: Astrophotography.  One of my professors set me up with observatory access in the beginning of the summer through the tzec-maun foundation.  I have access to three observatories, two in New Mexico and one in southern Australia. 

The following is a series of photos, some of which I took, some of which I merely analyzed and colored.  One was taken by the Hubble, the rest were taken by either myself or my prof.



Here's some of my work:


The following were taken on an E180 telescope, with a simple Canon 50D.

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/dustin01-adj-Uranus-CANON-180sec_2011-06-10_035236.jpg)

That green dot near the middle is Uranus.


(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/dustin01-adj-NGC221LGM32-CANON-300sec_2011-06-10_034631.jpg)

This, is the Andromeda galaxy.


(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/dustin01-Moon-CANON-00001sec_2011-06-16_015617.jpg)

I happened to catch a full moon one night.



Now the rest of these are a bit more... intricate.  The equipment is as follows: a 14 inch Maksutov-Newtonian telescope with a SBIG ST-10 camera,  a 16 inch Ritchey Chretien, and a 6 inch refractor, both  with a SBIG STL-6303.  They take FITS images in black and white, and we use filters to take black and white pictures of specific wavelengths.  We then take the pictures, match the wavelengths to their colors, and layer them.

Here's an undoctored shot of the moon, using an S-II filter, for reference:

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/dustin01_Moon-S001-R001-C001-Ha-20110616-021938.jpg)


Now, I haven't finished putting that one together, as I currently lack photoshop with the FITS Liberator plugin.  But here's some I did on the school's computers in my astronomy class:


Eta Carinae Nebula:

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/Eta-Carinae-Nebula.jpg)

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/NCG-3372.jpg)


M20 the Trifid Nebula:

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/M20.jpg)



M42 the Orion Nebula

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/M42.jpg)

M8 the Lagoon Nebula

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/M8.jpg)



NGC 5139 The Omega Centauri Globular Star Cluster:
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/NGC-5139-cropped.jpg)



And my personal favorite, the one from the Hubble, which I analyzed and colored, M77, NGC 1068, a nearby spiral galaxy.  (Don't ask me why panels are missing, ask the guys that manage the Hubble):
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/theg0atmaster/NGC-1068-Real-color.jpg)


Sorry about the fuzziness.  If I had had more time to work on these (they were a class project) I could have fine-tuned them a bit more.  But you really can't get rid of it without sacrificing some of the cloud detail.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the happy side-effect of my stress-induced insomnia.  :nod:

When the observatories reopen in September, I plan to get a few more galaxy shots, like M81.

Also, I can take requests.  Let me know what you want a shot of, and if I can see it in the sky, I'll take some pics for ya.

Great pics there, goatmaster.  The Lagoon nebula is one of my favorites to observe, though it doesn't get very high above the horizon from my latitude.  I love the shot of M77, despite not being a full shot it still shows a lot -- I haven't seen many pics of it that display that level of fine detail in the dust bands and star forming regions. :yes:
M81 would be cool to see, and I also wonder if M51 (Whirlpool galaxy) is possible?  I'm not sure if by the time September rolls around it will be in a good position to image but figured I'd ask just in case.

I'll give it a shot! Remember, I can view both the northwest and southeast skies. As long as it's not in the direction of the sun I'm sure I'll be able to see it sooner or later. I have access from midnight til about 5AM observatory time. The only problem is, I need to get Photoshop with the FITS plugin to put pictures from the really high-end scopes together. My school has PS, but I don't think I can put the plugin on their computers. But who knows. There's an Astronomy program here too, so maybe they've already got it.

If that doesn't work out you could try using GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/), it's pretty much exactly the same software but free to use and IIRC the vanilla install can handle and convert FITS files. :)

I've been experiencing a dull pain in my left chest for some weeks now. When I take deep breaths, I feel the pain. I'm not sure if I should see a doctor regarding this, or even the medical centre in my camp. As it is, I'm already undergoing physiotherapy for my left knee. Money is no object, since I'm covered by the Armed Forces; my main concern is whether the chest pain is a symptom of something worse and whether a visit to a doctor regarding it is worth the time.

i live in the landing pattern of a naval air station.  f-18s along with the occasional f-16 and e-2c are always screaming overhead.  it's just a matter of WHEN i crash my car.  almost happened last week when i thought i saw a raptor and was trying my best to spot it again behind buildings/trees to confirm.  i also thought i saw one of the small migs (21?) once.  it was probably an f-16 at an odd angle though.

No. I was in the bathroom and heard something jumping scared, saw movement, and heard a clang when it jumped into the heating system. Unmistakeable. I had pest control here a couple days ago and they laid a couple (not enough!) glue traps and a bunch of poison.

get a cat. my cats love to eat moths, but i do have some doubt about their mousing abilities. i figure if you want a good mouser keep them fit and feed him appropriately. a fat cat whos never hungry is a piss poor mouser. one of my cats is a fat mature feline, i very much doubt her ability to hunt. but my other cat keeps fairly thin and can jump pretty high, and if we didnt have an open bowl im sure he would go hunting for mice a bit more often.

Woohoo!!!  I was just granted over $20,000 in scholarships, and offered over $10,000 in loans for the next year of school!

We can now afford to turn the light at the end of the tunnel back on again.


However, my food was still stolen, and I'm still flat broke.  Luckily, some friends invited me over for dinner tonight.  Curious to see how tomorrow's meals play out.



Also, my health insurance company sucks major monkey nuts!!  I got turned away from a surgical consult today because they told my doctor I'm not covered unless I have pre-authorization, yet, when I called them, AND when I read the little benefits guide thingy, they don't even DO Pre-authorizations!!!

So now I get to wait another two weeks to find out if I can have knee surgery or not.  I wasted a trip to downtown, and I've wasted an extra week in my college town, that I could have spent back home, working to feed myself!

Just beat the Knight Gundam on Hard difficulty in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3.

Had a maxed-out Unicorn Gundam, pilot skills that would be considered borderline hax in any other situation, and I spent most of the battle with the NT-D system active, but it still took forever to kill him. You mess up even once in the fight and you're dead. Pretty much instantly.

I know like 90% of you have no idea what I'm talking about, but trust me, this was a tough fight and I'm glad I finally won it.

My god, it's been too long since I last played that game. I actually forgot about it.
Thanks to you, I'm going to have to go to my friend's house and borrow (read: steal/ take from his still warm corpse) it. There is nothing quite like cutting down a huge chunk of an army using a giant robot.

Touhou 13 just came out.

Bosses should not be allowed to use eternally-reviving zombies as meatshields. That's... just not fair.

Darker story this time around; something about a religious struggle between the Shinto and Buddhist practices. And you collect... erm, well, the manual calls them "essences of the kami", which I don't really know what that means, to fuel periodic trips into the spirit world. And the final boss is a resurrected genderbent historical Japanese prince, who in real life was a big supporter of Buddhism in Japan, but in this game she was secretly a Tao master who resurrected herself because she was terrified of dying. Yeah... :doubt:

I'm a little disappointed by 13.  For one I really am not fond of the bomb trance system, mainly because I feel as if ZUN is going more in a direction of being really good at collecting stuff and killing things at the right time, rather than being good at actually dodging bullets.  The boss fights are kinda nice though, it reminds me of Shoot The Bullet where you're rewarded for making a kamikaze rush through the bullet pattern to get face to face with the boss.  But then the bullet patterns themselves didn't really wow me this time around. :/

Also PCB had the best playing/scoring system ever.  The good days where spellcards were awesome to watch, and grazing bullets like a crazy ***** really meant something. :D

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's NEVER Over!!!!
Post by: Dark Hunter on August 17, 2011, 01:05:23 am
I agree, ZUN seems to be focusing more and more on gimmicks, some of which are kinda cool, but sometimes they just get in the way of the danmaku.

I really liked Mononobe's last spellcard (Saint Girl "Oomonoimi's Dinner" ) though. That one was pure win.

EDIT: I seem to be noticing a trend in Touhou: the "Springtime" games (7 and now 13) seem to have afterlife themes. First it was the Netherworld and a demon cherry tree sealed with the corpse of a noble girl, and now we journey under a graveyard amidst a large number of divine spirits to a mausoleum of a resurrected Taoist prince, complete with zombies. Coincidence, I wonder?

Taking a political psychology course this semester in addition to the usual physics and math crap I'm forced to take. It looks really interesting, though more work than I'd want out of a three credit `easy' class. The work probably won't be too hard since it's in our school of LSA, but I'll still hopefully learn a whole lot.

So it turns out that work is taking my tax out at the highest possible bracket rate (45%) - a bracket I have absolutely zero chance of actually earning enough to get into this year. On the one hand, I'd like to tell work to tax me at a more realistic rate, and have more cash available in each pay packet, but on the other, assuming I keep my job until the end of the financial year, I'll have saving enforced on me in the form of a pretty epic tax return. It's the classic delayed gratification problem, which I am terrible at. :\

i really only drink when somone gets me booze, so birthdays and satanmas. sometimes people want to eat fish, and i can usually con a case of beer out of em so i can do beer batter. and while i usually share, everyone i know seems to decline, so i end up drinking solo during games of starcraft at 3am. and while i used to frequent bars in my 20s, i find it to be a simple waste of cash what gets you 2 beers at a pub gets you a 6pack at the liquor store and an all nigher sometimes would buy me a weeks worth of booze (but more likely annihilate the grocery budget). so i drink alone for efficiency purposes. id rather smoke dope but i cant afford it/find somone that sells it.

Figuring out how to pay off my student loans. Weighing the merits of each idea. I can cover about half the loans with cash--but I don't have a job. I need a job.

Priority #1: unsubsidized loans
Priority #2: interest-deferred loans that will start accruing interest

However, I need a car. Thankfully, the truck's latest insurance quote is for about $110/month--which is pretty damn good for a 20-year-old male. I should probably agree to buy it based simply on that low insurance premium. I can get a nicer car later. I'm still drooling over a lava red Mustang V6 Premium. If I get a good job, the Mustang will definitely be on the to-do list.

So I went out and climbed a ****ing volcano today.  Got a little lost though, and on the way back down I had to traverse a much steeper section than I had anticipated.  The slope was made of old lava rocks which have this weird habit of fragmenting into tons of loose slices and shards of rock -- quite slippery and difficult to climb on, let alone down a 50º or so slope.  So what I did was I stepped on a big lava rock and used it like a surfboard for a few hundred feet down the slope to safety.

That's right.

I SURF ON LAVA ROCKS, *****.

Eight shots of 80 proof vodak and a Smirnoff Cherry Lime in an hour and I'm definitely feeling it.  Still not drunk, but definitely buzzed.
I'd probably have passed out by then (extreme lightweight here).
Passed out? Nahhh. Puked? Probably because of the disgusting Smirnoff.
The Smirnoff was better than the vodka.  Holy **** UV is terrible stuff.  Almost as bad as Barton's.

UV? Yeah--I know! Last time I drank, I poured some UV on top of OJ and the UV stayed at the top. I didn't notice right away and drank and--eww! I've had worse, though. For instance, Popov.

Eh, it was one of those Smirnoff party pack bottles, so it was decent enough to sip in between shots or something.  I'd still much rather have a nice shot of jager to any vodka I've had so far.

Took a flying leap off the horse today.  Was cantering and when I came to the other end of the ring there was a bit of a pony pile up in our way.  I went oh **** and decided to post the horse down to the trot, the horse went oh **** decided to take a snap left hand turn.  So my momentum went straight forward while the horse went dramatically to the left and I went flying.  Landed pretty hard on my right knee and palm.  I think its mostly impact damage rather than any twisting or pulling but its still pretty stiff, especially side to side.  I got back on the horse and finished the lesson but I think I'll need to skip martial arts and running this week.  I doubt the rigors of Kendo will be conducive to healing.

Incidentally, I'm looking to upgrade to a Moto Photon 4G. (I'm on Sprint.) I'm really sick and tired of the old phone. I had a RAZR initially and lost it on an airplane after 2 years. I wanted a touch-screen phone after (Samsung Instinct) but gave it back because it wasn't quite what I was looking for. Now, closing in on 3 years later, I direly need a new phone. I want a dual-core CPU and Android.

In other news, I hate allergies.

I've found that motherboards can be shipped Medium Flat Rate. Bare CPU's and memory can be shipped Small Flat Rate. Order a set of flat-rate boxes from USPS--they're typically the cheapest carrier.

It can get a bit annoying, and it's definitely designed to get you to actually buy some (which I guess is only fair...the devs need to eat too), but you get used to it.  One reason I almost like it is that it puts a natural damper on how much you play per day, so you don't lose three or four hours to it.

Stick or Auto? If it's stick and it feels like the engine revs aren't hitting the wheels, especially on a high acceleration sequence like a on ramp, then yeah the transmission might be going out. 

My knee is still stiff as a board from taking the spill off the horse last week, but I think its healing.  I'm not in pain unless I turn it a specific way so I think it just took impact damage.  I also picked up my augmented edition of Deus Ex, unfortunately I still need to wait to the end of Sept to get my new machine.

2nd Tabletop Battle of the Lunch Break (Day One)

(http://i54.tinypic.com/155ksjo.jpg)

Task Org Slayer
-5 M26 Pershing (Orange)
-5 M4A3E8 (Burgundy)
-5 M24 Chaffee (Yellow)

Task Org OpFor
-5 PzKpfw V (Neon)
-5 PzKpfw IV H (Green)
-5 PzKpfw III (Beige)

Objectives:
German and Allied forces are conducting Recon en force (the green dice scattered about the field)

Synopsis: 
Both are forces are pretty even, my Chaffees and Easy 8s are slightly superior to their III and IV counterparts but the Panthers can still murder pretty much everything I've fielded.   My plan is to seize the height above the town with my Pershings in hopes of pinning the Panthers from hull down positions long enough that my Easy 8s can swing out and around to attack on the right flank where their 76mm can do some damage to the Panthers.  My left element of Chaffees will maneuver into a favorable position to hold the flank while the right element supports the Easy 8 attack and continues to recon more objectives for the allied force.  If I can succeed in eliminating the Panthers with a portion of my Easy 8s and Pershing force intact I think I've have a fair shot of wining the field.  The early stages of Day 2 will be telling.

-5 M4A3E8 (Burgundy)

-5 PzKpfw V (Neon) 1 Currently Routing, 2 Destroyed
-5 PzKpfw IV H (Green) 1 Immobilized
-5 PzKpfw III (Beige)

Synopsis:
Currently things are roughly even.  Unfortunately my M26 platoon is apparently crewed by unlucky bastards, right off the bat two tanks bogged down and suffered mechanical failures attempting to traverse a small patch of forested area.  The remaining three commenced a long range gun duel with the Panthers which eventually lead to losing on of my Pershings despite hull down position with the Pershings doing piss all to the Panthers.  Luckily my Easy 8's flanking maneuver was successful and they managed to destroy two of the Panthers so far.  Additionally one of my M24s managed a on hit one of the Panthers, and despite not doing damaged the crew failed their morale check and are currently fleeing.  My left flank is in a bad way one of my M24s managed to immobilize one of the Panzer IVs before being popped by the others and the rest of the platoon is bearing down on the other one.  Tomorrow I hope to continue the Easy 8 flank attack using the bocage for cover and hopefully snuff the remaining Panthers.  If that goes well I will pull the two functional M26s and two of the M24s and try to engage the Panzer IVs while the Easy 8s go hunt down his Panzer IIIs

Task Org OpFor
-5 PzKpfw V (Neon) 1 Weapon Disabled, 3 Destroyed
-5 PzKpfw IV H (Green) 1 Immobilized
-5 PzKpfw III (Beige)

Synopsis:
Day Three saw Allied forces make strides at eliminating the majority of the Panthers, however, Axis tanks managed to destroy or disable a few of my medium and light tanks.  The initial push by the Easy 8s proved to be harrowing as their first salvo missed or bounced off the thick armor of the Panthers while supporting fire from the M26s on the hill similarly had little effect.  The return fire from the Panthers managed to destroy one of the Easy8s but was otherwise ineffective.  Squared off against the better part of a platoon of IVs I elected to withdraw from the field the remaining M24 on my left flank.  The IVs proceeded to roll up to the bocage and attempt to engage my remaining M26s, they would trade fire for the remainder of combat without scoring any hits.  The second salvo from the Easy 8s managed to pop another Panther, while a lucky shot from an M24 managed to disable the gun of a fourth.  This left only a single operable Panther, the one that routed at the end of Day 2, which wisely stayed up the road in a forested area where it was safely out of the line of fire of any of my armor.  The Panzer IIIs had some success, one unit that was heading into town from the left managed to survive a gun duel against two Easy 8s and two M24s, it popped one of the M24s before retreating back around the bend of the road.  Another Panzer III managed to sneak out of the forest and make pot shot on one of me Easy 8s immobilizing it. 

With only a single operable Panther on the loose tomorrow I plan on shifting focus on the Panzer IVs that are currently dueling my Pershings.  I will attempt to reinforce the M26s with two Easy8s and a Chaffee, with luck they can link up and overpower the Panzer IVs on my left flank.  My remaining two Easy 8s and Chaffee will hold their current positions and cover the northern part of the field and eliminate any IIIs or the last Panther if they venture out of the forested area.  If I can eliminate the IVs without heavy losses I figure mopping up the IIIs and the last panther should be gravy.

-5 M4A3E8 (Burgundy) 4 Destroyed
-5 M24 Chaffee (Yellow) 3 Destroyed, 1 Withdrew from Combat

Task Org OpFor
-5 PzKpfw V (Neon) 1 Weapon Disabled, 3 Destroyed
-5 PzKpfw IV H (Green) 1 Immobilized, 2 Destroyed
-5 PzKpfw III (Beige)

Synopsis:
The day opened with me detaching two Easy 8s from the right flank in order to reinforce the M26s on the hill, I assumed that the two remaining Easy 8s and two M24s could eliminate the two IIIs and the last Panther that were slowly emerging from the northern forests.  The M26s continued to duel the Panzer IVs to no effect.  That's pretty much when things went FUMTU for my forces.  The tanks on my right flank suddenly found themselves in a bad way when despite firing multiple salvos they were unable to score any hits on the three approaching German tanks.  Two Easy 8s and a Chaffee where destroyed in quick succession leaving the top half of the board uncontested.  Using its greater speed I began to withdraw the last Chaffee and link it up with my remaing tanks on the hill.  By the time the other two Easy 8s arrived to support the Pershings one M26 had finally succumbed to fire from the Panzer IVs.  Luckily the added fire of the Shermans managed to quickly dispatch two of the IVs giving me a glimmer of hope that I could still salvage the situation.  However, due to the losses I sustained on the right flank the units on the hill above town found themselves under fire from both the remaining two IVs plus the IIIs and Panther coming down from the North.  While the hull down positions gave them an advantage eventually the sustained fire from multiple directions claimed one more Easy 8.  With only three operating tanks left I conceded the battle.

Post Battle:
Quite frankly my Pershings ended up being pants, apparently thier crews slept through training at Fort Knox or something; Creighton Abrams would obviously be disappoint.  Two were disabled immediately on the first day while crossing a smidge of forested terrain while the other three did piss all for the rest of the battle save for being slowly whittled down and distracting my foe enough for my Easy 8s to make their initial flank attack on the Panthers.  The Easy 8s and Chaffees did all the heavy lifting for this battle and I look forward to when I can field the whole M4A3E8 company.  The first two days where pretty successful, despite the setback of losing half my heavy tanks to fricken trees I was able to seize objectives and my right flank attack was working at negating the Panthers.  Day three saw some losses but I had still managed to nearly neutralize the Panthers and had a plan to reposition some assets to wipe out the IVs.  Everything pretty much unraveled on day four, I realized to late that apparently the Panzer IIIs where crewed by what I can only assume to be clones of Michael Wittmann doubtlessly brewed by some vile blend of technology and arcane Nazi occult practices.  Not only did they avoid the dozens of shots taken at them but managed to claim or assist with the destruction of two Chaffees and half my Easy 8s.  They and the remaining Panther managed to turn what essentially should have been a holding action on my right flank while I dealt with the Panzer IVs into a massacre.  I was pretty much doomed after that.

Well in any case it was a great game, and was pretty balanced for most of the combat.  I'll bring my detachment of tanks home and get to painting them and the rest of my units this weekend.  I talked to my coworker and I think we are going to do a 1939 scenario in the near future, Germans versus Polish and start integrating some infantry and air/artillery support into the game.  I'm going to be doing my damnedest to see that an epic charge between BMW R75s and Polish cavalry happens.

For some reason I have a massive craving for the new JAD, but that won't be out till the next SCP or MVPs release, can't remember which one Axem was waiting for. Either way.

Actually I decided once this one bug is fixed in the nightlies, there might be a new release. :)

I've been sitting at my computer working on a programming assignment almost non stop since yesterday morning (except for sleeping), and finally my work has begun to pay off. I'm a lot further along than I thought I'd be. It's due tomorrow though, so I can't relax just yet. Nevertheless, it's been quite an absorbing experience, and surprisingly I'm in no mood to stop.

Aaaaah, am longing for the day I'll have finished all of this. Not feeling that keen on university next year, am considering applying direct to the Armed Forces as an Officer so I won't have to put up with classroom days much longer, eh.

In other news, spent my sick day reading Matterhorn (http://www.amazon.com/Matterhorn-Novel-Vietnam-Karl-Marlantes/dp/080211928X) and its risen up my rankings of books considerably as I've gotten into it. T'is a very jarring and graphic exploration of a war-zone for sure. Would call it accurate but I'm thankful I can't decide that, based on how the book's going.

For the 16 weeks of Officer Training School it's something like 8 hours of classes a day, difference being that I actually have a serious interest in learning about the Service, tactics, leadership, basically all of the modules taught at OTS. This is as opposed to my current line up of English, Political and Legal, Modern History, Applicable Maths (fun calculus and other **** I'll never use in my working life), and Physics. Got to the point where I'm not enjoying a second of it most days. Spend half the time on my laptop reading about Mil science, mil aviation and other related things anyway.

In Aus unless your specialisation requires a degree you can go through the OTS without an undergraduate degree. Most cadets do have degrees though, and AFAIK it's more of a maturity than a knowledge thing that degree qualified blokes are picked for.

Not too keen on the Academy after the spate of allegations this year. :P It'll still be a second preference option since the courses I'd plan to take there cover what I'm into, but my goodness, having my head in the books studying crap I have zero interest in is going to drive me insane by the time I'm 19 at this rate. Grades have slipped fairly firmly into B/C range from the A-/B+ at least I used to maintain.

In other news my exams are now about 2 weeks away and I've got to pull the motivation to study from somewhere between now and then. My sleep's also become pretty fragmented and everything else is starting to suffer as a result. When it rains, it pours.

the local fire department thought it would be a good tribute to blow their sirens for several minutes at the exact time the towers got hit 10 years ago. while it did remind everyone of 9/11 it also succeeded in waking the entire town and giving me a headache (i was already awake and making a 6 to 10 pin adapter cable for my avr programmer when this happened). it made me question the way we measure time. someone erroneously pointed out that the earth is in the same spot as it was 10 years ago, because of the way it orbits around the sun. but the sun also orbits around the galactic center, and the galaxy is moving, not in an orbit but away form the big bang (creationists can call this event "god wanking"). an orbit is really just bending a trajectory its not condemning the earth to a static path through sol local space. so the earth has never been in the same place twice. even the flow of time is likely not static, thanks to relativity, and likely goes through occasional pockets of slightly faster or slightly slower time on a regular basis, though we wouldn't notice them, being in it. still people attribute time with cycles even though they only appear as such. so these events have reminded me of something rather important, i have a working avr programmer so i can finally do something with that atmega1284 thats been sitting on my desk for a week.

If you don't have a sense of direction now, try looking up the Classifieds for some part-time work. Maybe you'll end up in a job that you don't mind doing full-time. In the meantime, I've just spent three months and four days in National Service.

You accept it, I'm told.

If you don't have a sense of direction now, try looking up the Classifieds for some part-time work. Maybe you'll end up in a job that you don't mind doing full-time. In the meantime, I've just spent three months and four days in National Service.
Already doing cashering at Kinokuniya.

Lucky git, i'd relish the chance to do it in another armed force to see how it differs.
I don't think the SAF is that special, but then again, it's my own country, so I can't really say anything without being very biased.

I got one just by accepting her friend request on Forsaken World, and talking to her for an hour, before she decided she was in love with me. And she lives in BULGARIA.

It isn't, and virtually any statement made by us out of National Service itself tends to slant towards one side or the other. It's quite difficult to make a neutral statement about the Armed Forces in Singapore.

Funny thing just happened to me today. Apparently, mentioning various ways to murder a fish on a facebook comment asking people how to humanely murder a fish, is grounds for someone to complain about your suggestions, and promptly get a call from the police

Ha. All I did was say "C4, sledghammer, put it in a barrel and use a 12 gauge (like on mythbusters), 2x4". So ya, RCMP called me asking about it

I just thought to myself, whoever this anonymous person was, they should never visit SFDT, Newgrounds, Stickpage, Stickdeath, or google. They should also never visit this site either. All the 'violence' and mention of various war planes and missiles will be getting all of you called by the police

Ah sensitive people. How you make me laugh.

Just imagine if they visited the Dead Space 2 page

Well, I could say -50, but since everyone was talking Fahrenheit, I had to make it clear I wasn't talking in F but rather Celsius.  (also that's a terrible system Fahrenheit)

I was released from work this evening and on my way home, but my mind told me that it was far too early to do so and suggested that I headed for the nearest shopping centre instead, so I decided to let my mind drive me around for a bit.

I went to the shopping centre nearest to my workplace and ate dinner. After that, my mind steered me into the library and made me pick up a book on how to find some personal space. As I continued looking at the nearby shelves, I crossed paths with my old neighbour and we had a good long chat. This guy had already completed his two years of service with the Armed Forces (as an instructor for up and coming drill sergeants) and we were able to compare notes. He expressed his astonishment that I was still considered fit for front-line combat despite having an apparent left knee injury that delivers a world of hurt whenever I squat, jump or otherwise apply too much pressure on my left knee. He himself was downgraded by the higher-ups due to an ankle injury a few months before he completed his tour of duty.

We conversed for a long time, from the library within the shopping centre all the way to the bus-stop outside it (I borrowed that book my mind told me to pick up in the process). After seeing him off, my mind kicked me back to full control and I took a bus back home. En route, I decided to take a look at the book I was directed to pick up. It turned out to be quite an interesting read.

Food was interesting. :P Currently contemplating sleeping this panic off after I calm down with my book. ****, this is stupid.

The K702's are actually borrowed. It's $325 (or $425) for a new headphone amp--a Little Dot Mk V (or Mk VII+). Then $275+ for noticeably better headphones. I'll probably stay with my Sennheiser HD-555's though.

Just bad luck all over that, although I didn't do or say anything bad, we will likely go out again sometime next week .

Okay, there is a correction, how about Power Rangers, Transformers and Bionicle? Power Rangers and Transformers are the components of power and Bionicle is the storyline. After all the Anorn, 'Team Zodiac', are from a different Universe entirely.

One last question: What happens when you mash, Battlestar Galactica reimaged and some of the Ancient-Shivan war mod?

Answer: You get a dark story about another alien race that is exiled from their home galaxy and come to ours, but their numbers are very small, like less then ten thousand. This story contains some pyschological effects to the main character as well. When post the first three chapters of Project Rainstorm. I'll post this story.

I've recently taken to a bad habit of panicking over certain issues. Currently trying to suppress. Had a good night before - although soccer game was lost, a hard fight was put up and we didn't lose, err...that badly. The local Chinese restaurant was also raided for a duck or two. Food was interesting. :P Currently contemplating sleeping this panic off after I calm down with my book. ****, this is stupid.

i spent the entire evening trying to get a lua script to talk to an arduino. first i did some script on script tcp communications over loopback that worked awesome. stage 2 was to use an experimental library for my off brand ethernet shield and try to get them to communicate. it was connecting, but not really communicating. then i find out that the experimental library i was using didnt support client mode yet, so i rewrote it to turn it into a server and rewrote the lua script to act as a client. and then my success was limited. aparantly the channel was one way, you could talk to the server on the arduino, but it coultdnt talk back, so i used a serial terminal to try and debug it. apparently the feature is not supported yet. so i could turn an led on over tcp, but then the server would time out before i could send the command to turn it off. and somehow the arduino would go into an infinite loop and youd have to hit the reset button to try again, which meant you needed to re-launch the script. so i think im gonna shelf this project till this library im using is at least beta.

The main character is Rain Shorn, your tough, determined, serious and tragic gal. After all, if you are going to be riding a half-eaglel and half dragon and be a swordsman, you have to be. And yes, Magic will be part of it as well.

So, saturday is probably the most important day in Australian profession sport - Grand Final day for the AFL (As an event, the ashes are bigger, but they're spread over weeks, so there's no single big day like there is for the AFL). My local team - the West Coast Eagles - made it to the prelims but fell over (coming from the wooden spoon last year though, everyone's pretty happy with the result) - but Collingwood - everyone's least favourite team and current reigning premiers - have made it through. So I have someone to cheer for (whoever's playing Collingwood, in this case, Geelong Cats).

Drinking commences at 8:30 AM. the game starts 12:30PM, my time. Messy, messy day ahead. :D

That story on (Project Rainstorm) Fan Fiction and Art is part of something great, I assure you. It will be about four books, at most, and as it goes down the line the darker it will become! I want my main character Rain stand in the midst of a burning city as she turns toward the reader, her eyes will be yellow and red.

Okay, just kidding! She won't be evil, but she will be in the midst of a burning city. This will happen at a later date in the books.  ;)

honestly i'm going to have to go for collingwood in this one because i'm tired of seeing geelong in the final.  western bulldogs are my preferred team but it's going to be a while before i see them in a final methinks.

Few academic activities are as satisfying or as liberating as dropping a class (well, other than graduating, of course). Now I have a real chance at passing (or even doing well in!) the scary algorithms class.

you missed the best grand final and second best game of footy i've ever seen.  (granted i've seen WAY fewer games than you).  the pies had about 20-25 minutes of domination in the middle of the match, but the beginning and end belonged to geelong.  i know i said i was pulling for collingwood, but i found myself actually cheering geelong more in the game.  :lol:

Oh I did take a look and saw it was pretty close, however I decided alternating between two ball sports in the space of 2 hours would screw with my head. Shall see if I can watch it again later tonight, seems like a damn good game. And all my friends have turned out to support Geelong so I don't really have a choice now. :P

I was smoking fifty quid cigars last night and drinking forty two year old whisky with a good lesbian mate last night at a semi-exclusive venue. I had a thouroughly EXCELLENT night and after a catefully engineered discussion proceeded to recieve heavy gropage and kissing after light objection, from said lesbian friend... Much to the shock and awe of everyone else on the docklands light railway. No boom boom, but i'm told i'm delicious and in another life I'd be eaten alive.

Interesting couple of nights :
Friday I asked out girl I went on comical fail date again, turned down.
so today I asked out a different girl to cinema, had no reply. at around 4 recieced FB chat from "girlfriend" from high-school, whom I had not seen or heard from in 3.5 years and now is living in sake city as me.
curious what she's up to since then, I ask her to the movies.
says yes, go to meet her, and my gods, she be carrying baggage, and has issues I won't  discuss here.

we see 50/50, which was good, then I bought us a pizza.  She's definitely attracted to me, but I am not to her. I leave politely after, get on bus, check phone, and the girl I texted earlier replied she's been studying all day, her first midterm is tuesday, and she had not checked her phone.  few messages later and I'm having lunch tomorrow with the originally intended girl.

but I might have trouble with the other, she wants to make things between us work, and I only see lotsa trouble for me in her.

stuff might get interesting for Teddy West Side.

Well, went on lunch date with originally intended girl.
Said date went GREAT and we like each other, actually had pleasant time.
I explained to last night girl how she's showed me how much I've changed since highschool, and how I don't see us working out.
I was smart enough not to tell her where exactly I live, so stalker odds are limited to bookface.

Nothing special, just replacing the ol' 4 year old computer that was mid-range 4 years ago.

quad core 3.3ghz i5 sandy bridge (no HT, though)
EVGA Z68 SLI 130-SB-E685-KR mobo
2x4gb ram
64gb SSD for mah OS/application drive

still stuck with a nvidia 9800GT until later this year; I want to wait until the semester is over to get that going. I'll also probably get a new PSU and set of fans with the card in December, which is also when I'll bother to overclock.

So in other words better than my main gaming/everything system XD.

Athlon II X4 620 2.6GHz
Radeon 4870 512MB
4GB 1066 RAM
Some cheap Asus motherboard.

Also, absolutely nothing wrong with a 9800GT. And depending on the brand and where you are, i know here 40 bucks Canadian gets you a second one for a budget SLI setup.

It's probably better to wait regardless. AMD's bringing out Southern Islands either late Q4 or early Q1.

Don't get me wrong: it wasn't perfect, but it was about the best flip-phone ever made. I had a V3m: I thought the keys themselves and the physical dimensions were damn near perfect. Only thing that could have been better was text prediction. It's a shame they don't make phones like that anymore.

I have to say though, in terms of humour it only picked up for me after the eleventh chapter. Smells like a bit of a troll to me, however. I wasn't around when the story was hot ****, so I don't really know the surrounding context in that much depth.

But goodness, if my future <12 year old kids ever question as to why I won't let them meddle on the internet, I'll be sure to make them read all 44 chapters of this son of a *****. And the reviews. Even if's just a fine piece of trolling, it wreaks of prepubescent teen. :P

A terrible Harry Potter fanfic.

And when I say terrible, I mean dramatic readings of it are banned by the Geneva Convention as a tool of torture. People have attempted to bleach their brains to erase them memory. Bad enough I know of people who have had the original books ruined by reading this.

So yes, it's really prominently bad, in the same way that sunlight is prominent on the surface of the sun. It is soul-destroyingly, mind-meltingly, canonical-material-defilingly bad.

That is a rather accurate and concise answer.

Anyway on to tonight's events, I have found out why Dekker always declined the invites from me and my friends when we went out. Hanging around a group of people several years your junior make you feel old. Old and creepy. Especially when you're the tallest there and have a beard.

Honestly, by the end of it all I wanted to do was put on my dressing-gown, slippers and have a nice cup of tea before bed. :blah:

I still have issues with my left knee. I never really realised how much I relied on that foot until I somehow managed to injure it nine years ago. Until today, I'm still paying the price for that folly. Some people probably think that having a knee injury is great because it means my conscription period is slightly easier, but there are some occasions where I look at other soldiers with no medical history and can't help but feel a little envious. For as long as I live, I can never be like them, like the crowd.

My MRI scan for my left knee was today, and I attended it. All that's left to do is wait for both the orthopaedic specialist and doctor to see me, which is on 28 October.

Yeaaaah, I'd say most of that fat's pretty necessary. :lol: Although I'm about an inch or so taller than you and probably weigh more or less the same. The fact I can run about 7 k's a night and bang out half a century or so of situps does redeem me. Somewhat. :P

EDIT: Just found out after reading Battuta's thread and doing some googling to get some background (been pretty cut off from the world since exams are filling my spare mental capacity) and found out that there's going to be an Occupy Perth demonstration sometime in October. With a gini coefficient of like, 0.3 as opposed to the US's what, 0.45+? I'm not sure whether it's crying wolf for us or something worth lending support to in principle. Most of what I've read in the news hasn't had a lot of substance to it over here. Time to do some more reading. But however sad it is, I think most of Australia's going to be too busy *****ing about our new price on carbon to care. :P

How exactly do you argue over that? I mean, really. How

"Do you know I'm calling on your behalf?"
"WELL OF COURSE I BLOODY ****ING KNOW THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU TO CALL ON MY BEHALF"
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL AT ME, I'M JUST REPEATING WHAT THE PERSON TOLD ME TO CONFIRM"
"DO YOU NEVER USE YOUR BRAIN?"
"I DON'T NEED THIS IN MY LIFE! I WANT A DIVORCE!"

Well, the caller asked, "Are you aware that I'm calling [company name] on your behalf?"

Her husband responded, in a rather unpleasant tone, "I don't know, am I aware?"

From there, it deteriorated.  I got the feeling that there were some underlying issues and that perhaps their only form of interaction, at this stage, is argument.

I've only been taking calls for a little over a week, and that's not the dumbest one I've had so far.  (It was just the easiest of the dumb calls to post about, without giving away the specific call center that hired me.)

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It aint NEVER Over FOOL!!!!
Post by: Dark Hunter on October 15, 2011, 12:26:27 am
There are a big number of theories floating around. I bet if anyone had a definitive answer, there wouldn't be so many divorces. Personally, I think it's just that the average American doesn't take marriage anywhere near as seriously as they should. It's supposed to be a lifetime commitment, and some people just don't seem to get that.

Heck, I have a cousin, barely out of high school, who wants to get married to some boy she's known for about a year. Sure, it's her choice and she's legally old enough to do it, but I and the rest of my family have doubts about this working out. Particularly since we think a major motivating factor is that she wants the distinction of getting married before her elder sisters (one of whom is marrying this summer).

Let me clarify: I'm not saying that married couples shouldn't be allowed to divorce. I'm saying that people should choose their marriage partners more carefully in the first place.

I have Chambord, Vanilla 42 Below and lots of fruit (for Berry Caipiroskas), as well as Domaine de Canton, just to experiment with. Should be a fun night.

My old high school band got a I rating at a marching festival

what kind of marching festival is this that doesn't give out 0.00 - 100.00?

.... the standard format that rates on a I-V scale?  (I being highest)

Every single marching band or DCI show I've been to uses 0.00 - 100.00; I've only seen I - V in concert/chamber settings.

quite possibly a regional thing.  marching band competitions aren't exactly a big thing around here.



in other news, i spent almost the entirety of today on newegg and various hardware review sites putting together my new build.  getting close, but still lots more to think about.  disappointed that bulldozer kinda fell on its face.  gonna bite the bullet and do an intel build for the first time ever. 
on a related note, does anyone know if free blu-ray playback software is available?  none of the drives seem to have it included.  i'm on the fence about a BR drive already, but a new build seems like the logical time to go for it.  definitely not if i have to buy expensive software for it though.  DVD drives are dirt cheap, going for what a floppy did the last time i built.

Brand new PS3 worked for seven hours, then decided that it wouldn't display on my Acer monitor anymore. It worked for ALL OTHER DEVICES (Secondary monitor, and TV), but not the important monitor. You know, the one I own... in my room... where I generally play PS3

Apparently, it had something to do with HDCP. So, going back to the store, getting a new one, and hoping that fast tracks to an easy solution (since all the other easy solutions don't work). If not, I will punch a baby.

But on a different note...Every week I use tuesday to do any college assignments that have been set to me last week, that can be put off untill today. My mum knows this and that I have to take the work in tomorrow, but it doesn't seem to deter her from making me go food shopping with her for the next few hours.

On the bright side, tomorrow I'll be finding out what micro-organisms where present in my throat when I caughed into a petri dish last week while I had a throat infection. Once I finish this course, I'm so going to try and bioengineer some Flood.

Chapter 2:  **** the busted website.  Let's call tech support.

Flashing back to the late 1990's, when I identified that there was a problem with my new mouse, I started documenting everything.  I documented the problem, the method of diagnosis, and every troubleshooting step I went through, because the last time I had a faulty piece of hardware, standard practice in the industry seemed to be for tech support personel to keep you on the line for eight hours playing a rousing game of 1001 Troubleshooting Steps (only 998 of which are unrelated to the issue you've described!).

Today, almost as soon as I told them that I had an issue with a recently-purchased piece of hardware, they went into the process of replacing it.  Aside from checking to make sure the PID was under warranty, there were no questions asked, and no additional troubleshooting required.  In fact, I don't even have to send the broken mouse back; they're replacing it entirely in good faith.

I'm kind of taken aback by this episode.  It's just so completely opposite to what I expected, based on (distant) past experience.  I think I'll probably remain in a state of disbelief, until the replacement shows up at my door.

To be fair, their peripherals have been pretty good for me.  The Sidewinder joysticks of old made me a fairly loyal customer, and while MS hasn't wow'ed me in quite the same way since then, none of the keyboards or mice that I've bought from them in the interim have given any cause for disappointment.  Really, that those peripherals tend to last as long as they have (in the neighborhood of five to seven years), under rather heavy usage is impressive enough.  As long as the replacement mouse doesn't act up on me, I think I'll be willing to write off the broken scroll wheel on this one as a fluke.

(Worth noting here, lest anyone think I'm putting Microsoft on a pedestal, yes, I am aware that in the given time period, Microsoft also gave us Windows ME, several lousy versions of Internet Explorer, the X-Box red ring, Vista's early adopter problems, GFWL, and just when you thought your office productivity suite was safe, the dreaded ribbon.  Research their products before you buy, because when they get it wrong, Microsoft gets it really, really wrong.  Just don't be surprised when they get it right with a line of products, and maybe think about giving them credit, when it's due.  Just a little.  It won't hurt.  Honest.)

Our SAT scores became available today.

I got a flat 2000.
Reading/Math/Writing: 680/690/630

My peers were kind of jelly. Then they asked me what colleges I was applying to.
I told them NC State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and maybe UNC Charlotte.

I got flamed IRL.

Everyone was like, "No! That's just dumb! Apply to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and MIT." What they don't understand is that I would never fit in over there. I told them so. They just laughed. And while I might could get in, the chances of me getting enough scholarships to pay for tuition to such prestigious universities. And my overbearing mother has already told me that she will withdraw all of her financial support if I go to a college that is not within driving distance for her.

The ivy-covered prestigious colleges are not for everyone. Just because you can get in, doesn't mean you should.

I know I'd never survive an Ivy League college, even if I could get in, due to the intense pressure I'd be under. I'm getting it bad enough where I'm at! :(

Anyway, not knowing the full details of your situation, all I can say is think about it carefully, and make the decision that seems most right to you. Not to your friends. Not to your parents. YOU. *points dramatically*

Our SAT scores became available today.

I got a flat 2000.
Reading/Math/Writing: 680/690/630

My peers were kind of jelly. Then they asked me what colleges I was applying to.
I told them NC State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and maybe UNC Charlotte.

I got flamed IRL.

Everyone was like, "No! That's just dumb! Apply to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and MIT." What they don't understand is that I would never fit in over there. I told them so. They just laughed. And while I might could get in, the chances of me getting enough scholarships to pay for tuition to such prestigious universities. And my overbearing mother has already told me that she will withdraw all of her financial support if I go to a college that is not within driving distance for her.

Your SAT score means little to nothing as far as admission goes anymore.  Hell, it didn't necessarily mean all that much several years ago when I was applying.  It was only two parts back then, but let's just say that I scored rather higher in those two parts than you did...and I was still rejected from two out of the five schools I applied to.  There's a lot more that goes into it than just that single number.

I just stayed up to 3:30 playing Last Stand with the new Tau Commander DLC.

A couple of L7 idiots with me in the XV-8 and a Chaos Sorcerer, backed by somebody who knew what the hell he was doing with a Hive Tyrant kitted for close combat, just went all the way. Twice. The shield drone is a source of endless lulz in fending off ranged fire and Heavy Armor + Jetpack + Kinetic Shield = Tau Death From Above.

Worth the ten bucks.

Or, get a productive skill and practically apply it in a way that you can prove later--i.e. make a computer program or a schematic for a machine and show it to colleges to prove you're skilled (especially if it's relevant to the major you're looking into).

while those kind of assholes do exist, they are probably a lot fewer here.  and if it did happen, he's getting punched in the face.  or cleated in the chest.  my team would have my back, we don't take that kind of **** in an amateur league that's meant to be for fun.

but yeah, i know i'm pretty stupid for not using one.  i tried it out, and i just couldn't stand it.  i'm relying on my rather astounding ability to absorb punishment without taking much real damage and miraculous luck to avoid serious injury.  one of the old aussie blokes calls me gumby on account of how my body squishes and contorts to weird angles to absorb the blow and then i pop back up.  i'm kinda used in a cannon fodder role on the team.  if someone's about to get cleaned up, they get the footy to me.  i draw off the attack and get put 3 feet into the ground, coughing it back up to my now wide open teammate.   :doubt:

then i relocate my joints and we do it again.   :ick:

Oh, that sucks! I can take a mark sometimes but as I used to play without insoles for my flat feet, my kicking used to be horrible since I didn't realise my foot was always canted a few degrees to the right. At "5'4" though, I'd have to start getting my tombstone engraved if I played in the ruck. :P

I managed to win the Control Point game as Herr Doktor in overtime.  The soldier I was healing manged to break through the Reds line and kill all the enemies at the last gravel pit CP before he got blown up.  Caught behind enemy lines for some reason the rest of the Reds failed to notice the dashing Prussian who stole the last CP from under their noses.  I've noticed a couple things as Medic, you can create major havoc Invulling a good Pyro, and that the crusader crossbow isn't a bad weapon after I shot a sniper in the eyeball at range and his corpse was pinned to the wall behind him suspended.

Yeah, we see each other at least once a week, usually twice (we're part of the same youth group), and we've texted and emailed a little on top of that. We're definitely fairly good friends and that friendship is growing... I just dunno if it'll go anywhere else. At the moment there's not much I can do especially if she and her ex decide to get back together. We'll see what happens.

Allergies kill me day in and day out, thank goodness for modern medication.

With nothing to do today, I will go out to the Farmers Market, and see if theres anything interesting.

Also, a "Lucky Bamboo" plant I got for my Birthday is now practically dead as one of my sisters cats ate the majority of it...

My birthday this year consisted of getting up to take a final at 7:30 am, and then being kicked out of my dorm room for the summer to live with the family I only nominally get along with.  There was no cake, all my friends were gone, I got no presents.

There can be worse birthdays.

Mine have generally been pretty good; my mom has a fantastic recipe for buttercream frosting, so the cake is always delicious.  I'm in the middle of summer, so the first time I had something interrupting my birthday was when I was doing research in college.  Probably the coolest year was when we were down the beach during that week, and I was actually standing in the ocean at my time of birth.

Beat Fatal difficulty of Fatal Frame 2.

Dear lord, this game is scary...

Now all that's left is to clear the final mission and beat survival mode... and maybe hunt down those last few spirits I missed (there's like... four of 'em).

Thinking of getting one of the other Fatal Frames... but lack of FPS mode in either of them makes me sad. The game is so much more immersive that way.

I despised the idea of graduating Highschool since well, I already knew what life held for me

Everyone else was going "Yay away from parents yay alcohol yay freedom" and here I was going "Fuuuuuuuck"
I quite enjoy my free food my free lodgings and my private room. I care little for alcohol and don't mind staying with my parents for a while. It's the economic and smart thing to do regardless whether or not they cover it for you anyways.


As for The Core movie... I quite enjoyed it actually. Personally though, date night movie for me is Die Hard. It's the perfect way to find that for lack of a better word 'perfect' gal. If she says "hells ya" you've got yourself a keeper. If she says "what the **** is this" watch Die Hard anyways and boot her the hell out

Yep, because most walls where you do this technique are not stable enough to set your own anchors.

And it's a good start if you've never went climbing before (like me).

Everything I have been promised and everything I have been taught to believe has been shattered and turned to dust.

I wasn't brought up to live in a US where white people are no longer the majority.
I wasn't brought up to live in a US where there is no middle class.
I wasn't brought up to live in a US where the very rich control everything and the poor doesn't stand up for himself because he's afraid of losing what little he has left.
I wasn't brought up to live in a US where I'll get retrained for my job at least six times.
I wasn't brought up to live in a US where illegal immigration is encouraged since it is more profitable for big companies.
and I wasn't brought up to live in a US where my society's culture has become so degraded and its language has been so butchered that it is no longer recognizable.

I was brought up to live in a US made by the common man, for the common man. Where every man has a chance to shape his own future. Where the American Dream still exists.

This isn't the country my forefathers fought and died for. It's a twisted, hideous aberration masquerading as the United States. But it's not the country itself that has gone to ****. It's the people in charge of it. And I hate them with all of my hate.

This isn't the country my forefathers fought and died for. It's a twisted, hideous aberration masquerading as the United States. But it's not the country itself that has gone to ****. It's the people in charge of it. And I hate them with all of my hate.

You haven't been paying attention for longer than you've been alive.  The American Dream has only ever existed in dreams and the lives of very, very, very few people.  It doesn't matter one **** whether white people are the majority or not.  You've been brought up to live in a US where the rich control everything your whole life.

Your righteous indignation isn't anything new, but I can't help but look down on someone who'd rather run away from something than try to fix it.

How can you fix something when the only people capable of fixing it get money dropped in their pockets so they won't fix it?

And, you're right. The American dream really never existed at all. It was all an illusion.

Well the point is I have been ****ed over. Part of it is my fault. I am interested in computers (an increasingly offshored field) and pretty much anything space related (a dying field) unlike my peers, most of whom plan to go into the medical field. But it's not all my fault. At least thirty years ago those sectors were growing strong. I don't believe that those sectors are shrinking as part of a "natural progression."

I refuse to believe that the United States has always been controlled by the rich. I refuse to believe the United States has never been a country that looks out for the common man.

I hear a ban hammer coming, but before it arrives, I'd like to say that our founding fathers were all white, yes. They were white deists and Christians and agnostics. And I don't think the incorporation of other cultures has weakened the US, though you could argue it has.

I think your post demonstrates the need for education.

Clarification of Intent: The middle class is being squeezed from both sides. Income disparity is growing at an alarming rate. The average person has increasingly less political influence. And those in the middle class are coming to a turning point where they are either successful and get boosted up or are not, in which case they fall down the ladder.

And I'm stuck smack dab in the middle. Most all promises about my future have been broken. I'm staring the unknown right in the face.

Yeah, and I'm a smart son-of-a-***** working a service job for the forseeable future and I can't afford ramen. I don't blame it on black people, hispanics, or Indians, emos, 'wiggers,' punks, or merpeople. I don't even see any of those categories as cohesive groups. To do so demonstrates an incredible lack of ignorance and misplaced malice.

You seem to be missing the point repeatedly. No one disagrees with you about middle class problems. It's just... why the heck did you put white as not the 'majority' on your list.

The reason you feel computers is an increasingly 'offshored' field as you it is because competition is increasing. No easygoing anymore.

When do restart, I hope we look into making moon base that will help us prepare for the trip to Mars, and then eventually into the Solar System.

Stay out of the UK. We are in just as much (if not more) **** as the rest of the world. We have an ever rising number of uneducated, unemployed youths that would rather stab you, rape the knife wound and steal your shoes, because 'That's what rappers would do', than read a book and do well in their exams so that they can get a job and be productive members of society.

So unless you're planning on bringing my Legion of Doom: US Branch, I don't think it would be your kind of place.

It's also expensive as **** to live here. Essentials like bread and energy prices are going up in price by a noticeable amount almost every week, but wages stay the same and even have been reduced in some cases.

Girlyfriend was at a party, she just texted me now. T'was all good. Felt like **** the whole night. ****ing hate it. Always feel it when she's out. Had a good soccer game, won by about 1. Played real ahrd. Probably the best I've played all season. Hell, I should be playing the best all season, I'm the Captain FFS.

Wrote a few 'rhymz dawg' like I used to do back in the day. Depressive ****. Don't wanna ****ing read it. Probably won't show the girl. Texting her now. Feels good. Didn't get to talk to her properly since about 4 in the arvo. Who the **** starts a party at 4 in the arvo? IDK. Not me. He's some kid **** anyway. I dunno. I don't usually drink a lot. I hate this ****. I hate all the ****ing connotations more. How did I even force myself to down enough vodka to equal 1.5 standard drinks? Eh, I feel way better now. Shouldn't do this often. Parents hide the liquor since sis has/was depressed. And that's good, she's apparently not anymore but IDK how long. Eh. I feel happy. :)

A prank by my mother's friends led me to drinking a bottle of beer and subsequently falling off the one who was giving me a piggyback ride and passing out. Needless to say I don't remember any of it...

Try a little vice once in a while. Maybe you'll like it. And hopefully, you won't quasi-drunk post before you're actually smashed.

Drinking doesn't make you cool.  It does, however, serve as an excellent socialization medium, and as long as everyone is drinking, no one appears any more asshole-ish than anyone else.

EDIT:  I mean, if you're drinking by yourself, and then you go out and make an ass of yourself, you derserve to get laughed at.  That's not being contested.

I'm 21, and I've never tasted alcohol before.

It smells bad xP
I believe the appropriate term is "loser". Alcohol does NOT smell bad--it smells like Hell's fresh morning dew.

A very hearty "**** off" from me for this maginficent piece of well-argued defense of drinking alcohol and being a dick on the internet.

I don't see the point in drinking. The only time I did was involving reasons for doing so other than the sake of drinking. Safe to say, those reasons didn't pan out as desired, so never bothered drinking again
I will say this however, anything tastes good in Ginger Ale

Used to drink. It actually got boring.

Now I drink at events like Xmas, or social stuff, but wouldn't go out at the weekend to 'have a drink' specifically any more, if drink is involved, I'm not against it, but I wouldn't seek it out.

As soon as I restore my download quota for acquiring more textures, I'll do that.

These will be easy though, because one download can account for up to eight separate decals.  :yes:

On another note, I showcased my method for making TF2-like textures on the Unity3D forums, and someone gave me the derpiest comment about it yet--"Your game will just look blurry :) "

on a similar note, the girl i am in sort of the same situation with and i were at a concert.  things went great, had a great time, and as it's over and we're leaving i eventually lean in and kiss her on the forehead.  she smiles, wraps her arm around me, and we both enjoy just being with each other.  happiest i've ever felt.


then i woke up with my arm wrapped around my pillow.  it quickly turns to just about the worst i've ever felt after the disorientation passes and i realize i was just dreaming.  :( :( :(

woke up and my computer didnt want to work. i think it had something to do with my makeshift fan repair the other day. i figured the problem was with the potentiometer that controlled the fan speed (analog fan control, in a computer, lol), so i clipped the wires and twisted them together and put some tape on it, and this seemed to work, the fan turned at full speed. 2 days later and my rig didnt boot. i thought maybe i had inadvertently caused an electrical problem. so i disconnect the fan and booted, came back up normally. so i tested the pot in question, its range was between 120 and 10k ohms, unusual for a potentiometer. so i soldered a resister to mimic the potentiometer at its minimum value (this causes the fan to turn at full speed), applied some heat shrink, plugged it back in and rebooted. didnt work!

so exploring other avenues i plugged the drives into another controller and changed the boot order in the bios. i also left the fan unplugged because at this point i dont trust it. system boots. i assumed that maybe the drive controller is bad, and figure this will work for now. so i sugt down hook the fan back up and close the case, and i boot the rig. no boot! ****!!! :mad: now on the other end of the fan's pass through molex connector is the connector for the leds int he front panel, purely decorative hardware. on a hunch i unplug the thing. system boots! i try it again, system boots!, i change the hard drives back to the way they wore, system boots. aparently the way i hot wired my fan earlier must have caused damage in to the circuitry in the the led board. so i just left the thing disconnected, ran some diagnostics, scanned my disks, the rig snows no signs of there ever being a problem.

hopefully i will be able to build a new rig soon, not sure if i can get another year out of this one.

Well, got Fatal Frame 1. Had high hopes for it, but... meh. It's not half as creepy so far, the immersion factor is down a lot, and the voice acting is horrible.

Also some idiot on the programming team decided to make the right thumbstick move in first-person mode and the left thumbstick aim, which is backwards and unintuitive and made me die to a moderately-tough ghost. No way I can tell to reverse the damned thing. Just have to re-learn how to aim, I suppose...

Here's hoping this game gets better, but I suppose that's what I get for playing the second game first.

Last man on planet earth? Maybe I'll look into that, too. Though it'll probably be the movie, I don't read all too often xP .. Not often enough, really.

Damn I love it when computer work goes EXACTLY as planned. Just finished swapping out the generic MaxPower pile of junk that was my computer's power supply for the last 6-8 months for a new Cooler Master. Seriously, I had pulled this thing apart, replaced one of the fans that was seized, spliced in the wires and just covered them with electrical tape, and boy did it run loud and hot.

Less than an hour spent, cramped micro ATX case with an oversized Radeon 4870 and a tall Arctic Freezer CPU cooler re-wired fairly neatly, computer powered on first try damn near silent with absolutely no fuss. Handled a simultaneous prime95 and furmark stress test flawlessly, with no crazy temperatures, no worrying voltage drops, no crashing or anything.

Now if only midterms went as smoothly as this.  :p

Everything in my life just has to go to **** during my final exams. I feel horrible. There's no alcohol. I just need to hear some things said again. But I won't. Ach.

Don't let it get in the way of your exams. Put it out of your head until you're done (I know that's easier said than done, but you don't want to screw up Year 12). Everything will still be there, ready to be dealt with after your exams are over. You don't want to have to repeat the year because of this (or even end up with a final score that doesn't reflect your ability).

i know for a fact my disk in particular won't do it without 3rd party SATA drivers.  even on a repair install.  it has SP1, it's possible that either 2 or 3 included sata drivers.  i know when i installed for this build, the mobo's SATA drivers came on a CD.  i can't remember if i could use that or if i had to copy to a floppy.  hopefully the CD is all i need.

So, the midterm gauntlet begins in just under 4 hours. 3 midterms, exactly 24 hours. First one starts at 5:30 today, last one ends tomorrow at 5:30.

I am NOT looking forward to this. And the last one will be the worst one. Discrete Math and Boolean Algebra II. With a prof who is awful at explaining anything but likes making needlessly complicated questions on assessments.

T'is indeed but I managed to do it/work some of that **** out for this morning's English exam. English is my best subject and my teacher said that I stood a good chance of getting 100% for at least one of the four essays, but that **** beforehand really ****ed my study over and I don't think I did so well this morning. Oh well, time'll tell, but I'm concerned as to how/if I'm going to get into UWA at this rate.

I just saw a pre-roll commercial on a Blip.tv video, where GM introduced a new Cheverolet model by shoving it out the back of a plane.  My own opinion of GM's vehicles notwithstanding, I'm not sure that, "Hey, even we want to throw this car out the back of a plane," is the best message to send to the people you're trying to convince to buy your product.  Just a thought.

My guess is that GM is trying to appeal to the same mindset that made SUV's get more numerous, more bloated, and less capable from the late 1990's through last decade.  Only, since the US version of the Sonic is just an Aveo with a fresh coat of paint, the most extreme capability it has that can be marketed is that it's affected by gravity.  The more you think about it, the more pathetic a scene the ad becomes.

Last exam of the gauntlet in about an hour. And actually, I don't feel to badly about it any more. Partially due to tiredness, yes; but also because it turns out that 2/3 of the midterm is stuff I'm also covering in Stats atm, and that I have a decent grasp on. In the end, as long as I pass, I don't care. My other CS marks, for the most part, are fairly good.

Ugh, please don't make me do the math on this -- I've just recently been doing planetary science problems like this and -- goddammit I'm going to do the math. D:

Solar flux at 1AU is SE = 1.37x106 erg*s-1*cm-2.
Saturn, and Titan with it, have an average heliocentric orbital distance of roughly 9.5AU.  So by inverse square law, the solar flux for Titan is SE/9.52 = 1.85x104.  Call that value ST, for solar flux at Titan.

Equilibrium temperature for a spherical blackbody (ε=1) with bond albedo AB (Earth's Bond Albedo is ~0.31, let's say if we made Titan earthlike it would be the same), is given by

Te = [(1-AB)ST  / 4εσ ]1/4

Plug in the values, we get an equilibrium temperature of 87 Kelvin. (That's -303°F)!

(Compare that with the actual surface temperature, according to wikipedia, of 93.7K -- not a bad calculation!)

So yeah, good luck making Titan earthlike. :P

Simple process, tough on hands as you carry the plates, quickly wash through the bastards, place them onto the rack, slide them through the Hobart machine, grab another set, repeat process, grab the next item that needs to be done, and staying ahead of the rush

Oh and putting the plates that just went though 180 degree (F) water into a nice, sizzling hot pile

Not by simply clicking it, which I suspect is your gripe. But right-clicking and selecting the program name in the menu will do it (at least for Internet Explorer and Firefox).

There's no built in way to do this, but you can use a third party utilily (http://www.petri.co.il/classic-start-menu-in-windows-7.htm). Or use the search bar at the bottom, I find that quite useful. *runs*

If you've got Maya, forget about Blender

And if you want something that is REALLY simple, look at Bryce 7. A landscaping program that allows you build almost anything as long it requires your elementary school basic shapes.

Currently, I got over Four hundred saves from that program. I got a few that might just blow the shoes and socks off your feet.  :pimp:

It just can't animate

You can animate with it, just as long it is something simple. I created an animation involvin a sphere going through a mass of pillars, although that was on the older version called Bryce 5.

Alright, I stand corrected
I'll rephrase then: Can't animate characters

Unless it can
Then I would ask why is it considered a landscaping program

Nope. It was caught in my dad's have-a-heart trap in the orchard. At first I thought it was dead, but then I walked over to it and it turned to face me. We carried it down to the creek and the corner of the cage in, so it could drink. We'll probably let it go somewhere sometime tonight.

Apparently it's a pretty dumb possum, 'cuz there wasn't even any bait in the trap.

explain to me how no longer being able to open up My Computer and go straight to my documents folder is an improvement.
...I'm pretty sure that by default Documents is shown in the favourites section at the left of the screen. From my virtual machine that is almost unchanged from default:

or why i can't open a second broswer window with the quick launch button.
Not by simply clicking it, which I suspect is your gripe. But right-clicking and selecting the program name in the menu will do it (at least for Internet Explorer and Firefox).

and for the love of god, someone tell me how to get the start menu out of that tiny ****ing box in the corner and span the screen again.  i am NOT scrolling through that once i get all my programs installed.
There's no built in way to do this, but you can use a third party utilily (http://www.petri.co.il/classic-start-menu-in-windows-7.htm). Or use the search bar at the bottom, I find that quite useful. *runs*

Wait, I missed this  before

I hope they realize that the world popuation is Seven Billion and we need to act quickly! One question that is the most popuar, "How do we feed a growing world?"

How do you feed a growing world?

I've heard of a project that is for the future of cities, it coverts skyscrapers into gardens and buidling a train system that is clean and affordable. It's little like Mirror's Edge, but without the Runners.

With bugs! From here on out, the main source of protein for 7 billion people will be bugs. Bugs are easy to grow, don't much space to grow, therefor a lot less environmentally damaging than conventional protein sources. They also contain more nutrients than any equivalent amount of, for example steak.
Bon appétit!

so i got half meter tanks, large and small, half meter rcs tank, half meter nosecone and 19-engine coupler. still need half meter engines, adapters, and possibly fins and decouplers, but i think those exist in other packs and might not do them.

Disco is late 1970s like 75-80 before it toppled.  While the Hippie movement had petered out around 1970 the early 70s are still are when rock bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who are hitting their preeminence.

Skipped the run and instead raked the yard, I'll wake up early tomorrow and do a quick one before work.  After supper I went on a streak of Shogun II avatar multi, which is pretty awesome btw.  It's pretty amazing how far RTS games have come, I zoomed into the ground level and marveled at the fact that with all the motion capture they use each individual soldier is fighting using proper technique.  It pretty hilarious to think we've gone from 2D sprites to me being able to recognize the kenjutsu being practiced by individual samurai.

[19:57] <redsniper> people are buying all these SLIs and stuff in order to run ****ty games even faster, like MW3 and stuff
[19:57] <redsniper> and here we have a true keeper of the faith, nearly melting his CPU to push ascii characters around

:lol:

In fairness, I only used DF because (a) It was running at the time I noticed the temperature, a few more checks showed that most moderate stress programs were doing it, even Minecraft, and (b) It hardly uses the graphics card at all, so there's no loads being shared or anything, pretty much 99% of what it does is CPU based :)

But yeah, that game rocks :D

I just realized, that despite the fact that I have a shiny 22 inch widescreen LCD monitor as my primary screen, I end up doing all of my web browsing on the 19" Sony Trinitron CRT I have as a secondary screen. Even when I'm not using my 22 for anything else.

EDIT: Free Sony CRT at that. Gotta love electronics recycling drop-off sites at your hippie liberal university. I pick up desktops (and laptops sometimes) from there with Northwood/Prescott P4's and Pentium Ms all the time.

Maybe it's just the fact that 90% of web sites are still optimized for 4:3 screens. Hmm.....

I received some books in the post.  Namely the Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, Kendo the Definitive Guide by Hiroshi Ozawa that was recommended by my Kendo instructor and will be useful in the future if I need to teach class again, and finally Naginata the Definitive Guide by Alexander Bennett.  We don't practice Naginata in class, but some of the students have expressed interest in so I am going to do some research and see if we can build a curiculum.  I was lucky to find the book since it is out of print and there is a dearth of texts on the subject matter even in Japanese let alone English.  I think it'll be a versatile weapon to learn since its both stabby and choppy, I'll try out some of exercises in the yard using my wax wood staff for now.

You may be overthinking this course of events.  I'll point out that later in the day, I did this (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197998742244/screenshot/612716989600315143/?tab=public).  Why did I airlift a helicopter across the bay, instead of flying it across under its own power?  Because then I wouldn't have had two helicopters on my side of the bay!  The jet-towed mobile home was intended for use as a lumber-jacking device.  This is a game to never take seriously, ever.

Would you guys be disturbed when I tell that I invented a female Prime?

Her name is Phoenix Prime, lost child of the Dynasty of Primes.

And her transformation is a firetruck.

She is just awesome.    :p

She is sleeker then Optimus Prime with smaller shoulders and broader hips. Instead of having a 'bald' head, she has long 'hair'.  She particularly lacks the 'ears' of Optiumus Prime.

She has been trained under Dynasty of Prime soldier veterns Snow Blitz and Reckoner. She is particulary deadly in melee.  :p

(http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc103/Emperor_of_Nihil/IMG_0067copy.jpg)

ive got several of these gimbal sets in various states of functionality. i took 2 of them apart so that i could get into the bering compartment, to clean and re-lubricate. unfortunately in order to get the thing apart i had to destroy several of the brass bushings that allow smooth rotation of the gearing system. i have an idea of how to re-arrange the parts so that the gimbals drive the gearing again, but its going to require some re-machining of the parts (il have to dremel through a beefy 3/16" of steel). i had to dremel out a large number of screws because they were frozen with decades of corrosion, so i will need to drill and re-tap the holes. i think ive figured out how to pull the bushings without breaking them so i might just have to polish them up and re-use them. of course i dont have the tools for this job, so for now i just grabbed my 2 best units and im basing my stick off of those.

you may notice the 2 potentiometers per axis. these sticks were used in an analog control system. there were several 12v magnets which could be activated by pressing the toggle button which was installed on top of the stick, these would break the main potentiometers in place, and moving the stick would only turn the vernier pots. i asume when this happened that the signal from the main pots were passed into a second voltage divider (the verneir pots) to give fine adjustment to whatever these things controlled.

i need more wood to finish the base, theres not enough clearance right now to allow proper operation. il be checking dumpsters and if that fails il see if my sister has any left over lumber from building her house. a good size peice of pine board would do just fine. id like to have a complete enclosure, but a partial enclosure would be good enough to get the wiring started. once i decide on a complete array of controls for the panel and get the holes drilled i thing il use wood fill to make it smooth, round off the corners stain it and give it a good polyurethane macro finish. but thats in the long term. i might just settle for the redneck look. i also want a better grip on the main stick. might widdle something or perhaps just design it in a modeling program and have it 3d printed.

the guy i bought the gimbal systems from said they were military surplus, and they are so well built that they pass as mil-spec, though i suspect these came out of construction or farming machinery, because of the dirt ive cleaned out of some of them. some of the handles were painted caterpillar orange, so i suspect construction machinery. some of the units had some circuit boards attached to them, with resistors the size of my pinky. so i figure these things date back to the 60s or 70s. if anything it makes you think that they dont build things as well as they used to. all the screws and other hardware, and hole pattern on the top are in imperial units nothing is metric, so id assume these were made in the usa. this is a damn good example of what we loose when we ship all our production overseas.

If they date back as far as the 60's they could be of UK origin, we only went Metric in 1971-ish :)

Post by: Colonol Dekker on November 23, 2011, 11:39:40 am
Early twenties, (AKA Prime <3) They're, (depending on varying factors such as class, education, genre i.e. goth, wag, chav, country girl, sk8r etc) going to completely unpredictable.

But the common factor (for the single ones who aren't tied down with kids, or high-school/uni boyfirends) is they're all fresh out of school/college etc, sick of being surrounded by pubescent boys and are on the lookout for MEN. So hit the gyms, work on that stubble, and adorn yourself as a man about town. Good aftershave is a must....

 The KEY to ANY  successfull advancement is to engage in conversation and build on it. You're already speaking to them by now, if not why not? Start on a common factor, TV, Film, Music, theses are all generic enough so that you don't sound crazy. No-one expects to go up to a femal e and blurt out "OH HEY, MAH POKEMONS ARE LEVEL 45, LETS BATTLE!" (Although, again, dependant on Genre, she could be a Gamer/Emo type and this could work) Broaden your horizons before hand, a little oberservation on target, try to vaguely catagorise and brush up on the specialist knowledge. If you don't like the clique they fall into, Just say "I'm not too keen on ARTIST XYZ, but i don't mind it. I prefer >>SIMILAR<< (If she likes kelly rowland, don't say RAMMSTEIN ARE TEH SECKS!, pick something along similar lines that doesn't make your stomach churn) Be cheeky, a little joke is paramount, IF every bloke is a bowl of ice cream, be the one with a few sprinkles and squirt of strawberry sauce. Don't be a facking huge sundae with eleven different umbrellas sticking out UNLESS you can pull it off. Never be afraid to disagree. Just be aware of (this comes with time and experience) WHEN TO AGREE. Make RELEVANT jokes, USe appropriate smarm, make an effort with appearance, EYE CONTACT!!! Not BOOB CONTACT, (unless she's a WAG)

All i can say is, get out there and make friends with AS MANY People as possible.
(A little Facebook research works wonders by the way)


*Appearance - Shave. Posture. Hair product. SMILE - but not a psycho, "i'm gonna eat your skin" type smile, subtle. Practice in the mirror, or while you're in a lift/elevator use the mirrors all around you

*Attitude - Possitive, build your confidence by just casually saying "morning/afternoon/evening" to girls you DON'T KNOW at class/work/train station) etc as you walk by (never and throw them a smile and/or a cheeky wink. Not every one will respond, not every response will be positive, but the ones that do will make it worth it. TRUST ME :D

*knowledge - Mainly through practice/trial and error/They're only mistakes if you don't learn from them
Learn a little about everything, music, film, celebrity, I can't stand x-factor for instance but i know one of the girls at work is bonkers about it. I was makaing biscuit jokes the other day and had her in stitches. (I pushed her down the stairsBA-DUM SHHHHH j/k :nervous:)


*Be YOU. Just make sure you are NOT A CLONE of every other douche. :D

As an addendum, if you are in college, check out if they have some variety of Latin/Ballroom dance club.  Typically the demographics are going to be disproportionally skewed towards women, their generally aren't many guys doing this they need dance partners.  The key is take it seriously and don't be a creep, ie do not go into it thinking you're there to hit on girls.  If you work hard at the activity and have more personality then a bag of rocks then you should start making friends.  Eventually some of them might develop an interest in you or earmark you as a candidate for one of their friends.

As an addendum, if you are in college, check out if they have some variety of Latin/Ballroom dance club.  Typically the demographics are going to be disproportionally skewed towards women, their generally aren't many guys doing this they need dance partners.

As one of the officers of the local Ballroom dance club, this is false.  Numbers are disproportionally skewed towards men for the greater part of the semester.  Sometime around the last three weeks or so you'll see a balance, or more women than men, but until then, there's always a glut of guys.

Sounds like you are out of practice being social.

If there are any work colleagues you are comfortable around then try talking to them some more, find out about them, join in the office banta.  If you have to talk to colleagues regularly for work purposes and there is no issue with doing so dont e-mail but get up and go to them, also keep an eye open for opportunities for general chatter, scan newspapers on their desk, if you have a radio on at work comment on news bulletins.  Not only does a small amount of this show more interest in your work place which helps with job security and new opportunities in the company but the increased general social interaction will shed any loner image you might have built up and help you be smoother with the ladies.

Flaw in your plan
I don't work at a desk. I work in a kitchen, in the dishpit.

As for communication, there's no issue with it. Servers dropping off their stuff I'll have a quick chat with, people working in the kitchen I'll talk to when the opportunity arises. I'm not without social practice, it just doesn't go beyond anything other than a conversation here and there at work or random encounters. I don't involve myself further than I need to since precedence hasn't particularly been in my favour

I don't drive, and bus schedules are limited. I also live a fair distance from everyone else. They go East, I go West basically. Furthermore, I get off work ranging from 10:30 to 12:00. Late night beers aren't happening as everything is closed

Essentially, I'm stuck doing what I do for the next year, then stuck working on a portfolio, then submitting the portfolio, and hopefully getting into Digital Animation.
So, Dish cave, to Man Cave, to Cave at Uni.

Just came back from a day out with the girl I've liked since we were 15 in our Year 10 art class, and the only reason I didn't make a move on her was because she was going out with my friend at the time, and I'm not an (overly) selfish dick.
It's only the second time we've met face-to-face in the longest time, so naturally the "AF (Absolute Friendship) Field" has broken down, but I can sense it getting ready to power back up (although I think I've got her to dress in lolita fashion at the next AnimeCon as long as I go as well, so maybe there's hope).

And to cap it all off, Dekker is away doing army-shooty-explodey stuff over the weekend, so no guidence from that front, and I REFUSE to talk to my mum (she'll say something stupid like declaring my love for the girl in a really cliche way).

So to sum it up in a few words....

Today: AAAAAAAAAW YEAH!  :pimp:

What to do next: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU   :confused:

Inspired by the first several posts in this thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=78709.0) starting here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=78709.msg1556759#msg1556759) and a slew of glowing reviews (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/system-shock-2/critic-reviews), I tracked down a copy of System Shock 2. (The last time I paid that much for a game was for a mint condition copy of Grim Fandango.) I won't have time to play for a few more weeks, but I've spent some time learning how to get started, including a few hours navigating the maze of SS2 mods (http://www.systemshock.org/index.php?board=2.0) -- makes me thankful that we have FSU to make these sorts of decisions for me. :D

I still can't figure out why their flagship mod is called SHTUP (http://www.shtupmod.net/). Was the name choice intentional, or just an accident? I'd be less-than-thrilled about working on a prominent project with that name (what if wxL had a name like that?) but I'm probably just a prude. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Just Google It (http://www.google.com/search?q=shtup).)

managed to re-assemble one of the joystick gimbal units i disassembled (and partially destroyed) in order to clean the bearing rings at the center of the unit. it took re-machining some of the parts to change their purpose. i did this using a dremel, a number of drill bits, 2 engraving bits, and several cutoff disks, which like to keep breaking sending shards in every which direction.

i had to trim 2 disks (these connected to a break pad of sorts which was grabbed by a magnet to disengage the gimbal from the axle to allow a vernier control mode) so that they fit closer to the gimbals, then had to notch the untrimmed edge to engage a small peg on the gimbals. i also had to put a hole in a couple bushings to allow the pass through of a retention screw from disk to axle. now, through the modified disk, the gimbals drive the axle directly instead of through the original spring mechanism, which in turn drives an aluminum gear which engages a smaller gear on the potentiometer. anyway i put the unit back together in the new configuration, and it works.

new configuration has the added bonus of making the whole thing easier to work on. you only need to remove 4 screws and 2 nuts to open the bearing compartment (instead of like 20), and you can calibrate the pot's alignment without taking it all apart. it removes a lot of the weight as well. soon my joystick of doom will be complete.

never had a problem getting it to accept bindings, but for Lock On it's probably better to use your joystick software instead.  don't remember it running poorly, but i haven't played it since a few hardware updates ago and had settings turned down.  i DO remember getting widescreen to work properly is a bit of an adventure.  the nasty(ish) DRM came with the expansion, which i only even touched once.  word on the street was it broke some of the old stuff, and i didn't really care much to fly the new plane it put in, so i left it alone.  hard drive space, fair enough.

My computer has about the minimum specs to run the program, having 2 gigs of RAM and a Go 7600 graphics card. Furthermore, my processer is only rated at 1.6GHz, where 2GHz is the recommended min. Granted the large amount of time to learn, but more so master, a new sim, its poor performance on my machine and a general lack of said time, I think I'll just keep to FreeFalcon, which I also seldom touch.

Unless the country actively censors stuff (China), why the hell do companies care where someone purchases and uses their product? It just seems completely counterproductive to me. If someone in a foreign country is willing to import, why deny yourself the money you'd get from that?

(Yes, I just had to jump through some hoops to get a foreign product.)

So here's my new story idea: Everytime Matt Rainer goes to sleep he occupies an alien body and he is joined by a band of refugees that are fighting against a group of Mercenaries.

He is called a Santuu and is helped by a government group called Sanctum. The Sanctum also has an enemy called the Marked. I'm not very far in it, but I like the idea. Kinda like Assassin's Creed II.  :D

Good work, mate! Chop it up!

Just got back from 'schoolies/leavers week' over here in Perth. Traditional booze/****fest post-final exams had by the entire country for approximately 3-7 days that I didn't really find a whole lot of fun because a) I felt like ****, and this was exacerbated by b) there was no booze in the place I was staying at to make myself feel better.

On top of this I found out my good mate I've had since fourth grade has depression, and has had it for a while. 'Mate, I'm...uh, a little mentally ill.' And he henceforth told me about how he'd taken the last week of proper school off for it and that he'd like me to keep an eye on him on our night out because he didn't know how alcohol would interact with his meds. I felt extremely ****ing stupid and like a terrible friend for knowing him for so long and never having pegged it, especially with a sister suffering from it myself. Everyone's different.

And my girlfriend is a year younger and wasn't down at schoolies, so I didn't even have a good cuddle and kiss to go back to at night with a listening ear. **** leavers.

Ouch. Ah, parental inconsistency (or forgetfulness). Congrats on getting them in. I'd imagine that most (all?) of the schools you applied to use the Common Application, which would at least make things less painful. Is a December 1st deadline typical, though? I remember them being early-mid January.

i cleaned my room, to get rid of all that iron dust and tiny steel wires from the wire brush bit that suck when you step on them. this comes after finishing a second conversion on a gimbal set for the joystick of doom. i ditched some unfinished projects, my diy avr programmer and some circuit boards went into the salvage bin, a bunch of loose electronic parts got sorted and binned, and i put all the loose screws in their appropriate jars. i also sorted and bundled a box of cables that were too thick a tangled mess. i also fixed my guitar cable, thank satan for heat shrink!

Wasn't all that hard as everyone made it out to be. Saved chapter 6 (waste) chapter 9 (good call, nearly died right after) and 13 (again, good call, nearly died right after). Never died once, and took me a single day

i found wires thin enough to let me cram 16 of them through the tube in the gimbal of the joystick of doom. this will allow me to wire the buttons in the grip to my 6x6 matrix board (built out of crappy old radioshack strip board and scrap parts, and a signal diode for each of the 36 button ports, but it works well). i kinda wanted to use the existing 2x4 matrix board that is in the handle, which i just figured out how works, but it uses transistors and my board uses diodes, and im not sure how to make them play nice with each other (it would entail bypassing parts of the board). i could also decode it with a microcontroller, i have an attiny 2313 which would be cool for that kinda thing, all io and no analog, but it seems like unnecessary complexity. of course im going to do it the brute force way, by stuffing 16 tiny wires down the tube. il cut the traces on the matrix board in the joystick grip so i can tap into the buttons directly, then use my matrix board. its late, so this is a project for tomorrow.

Looked today while bored in class, guess what? Those headphones? They're on sale. For 40$ CDN. Which would have been in my price range had I not just bought the cheap temporary set. And now I don't have the spare cash.   :banghead:

I have a credit card. I also have a student line of credit. I'm also looking at having both of them being maxed out before the end of the winter semester as it is. My parents live 45 minutes from the nearest bus/train line, or an hour and 15 minutes drive from my Uni, so I more or less need a car unless I want to spend around 100 dollars any time me or my girlfriend needs/wants to go home.

And, for that matter, OSAP penalizes you for working during the semester unless you do it through their program, and even through their program only if you make less than 1000 per semester. Any other jobs/anything over the 1000 under their program deduct off of my OSAP at a rate of 80 cents on every dollar I make. So money is permanently tight.

Plus, for that matter I have to run any purchases by my girlfriend, and seeing as I have working, albeit crappy headphones already, she probably won't be so fine with it.

How can they penalize you? I'm not entirely sure how they would know you were working without their help anyhow...

OSAP has access to all of your tax info (as it's a government program), and you have to report all of your taxable income on the application form or they get very angry. Standard case of people cheating the system making it hard for people who actually need the help to get it.

I worked during first year, and noticed the amount I got second semester was drastically reduced. Went in and talked to the financial services department, who explained that that was how OSAP does it. I would deal with just the bank, but I need a co-signee, and my parents have been struggling lately so the bank wouldn't let it go through with them signing, and my grandmother, who co-signed before decided she was too paranoid over owing money to help me out. And my options beyond that are more or less non-existant, I've checked. So I'm kinda stuck.

i ran the main handle wiring on the joysick of doom, cut the traces, soldered 2 wires for each button, ad nauseum. i decided to add a structural wire between 2 now dead termanals through the heat shrink and looped it around a screw post to add structural beef to the relatively thin wiring. cut a foot of cable from an old parallel cable to get the wires, which were in a variety of colors and stripe patterns, i used pairs of similar color so that i can identify the ends later. solder shrink run and re-assemble everything. more heat shrink to bundle the ends and protect it from chaffing, and a plastic cable harness to attach the bundle to the stick. its kinda loose but il probably use the surplus room for the potentiometer wires.

also decided what to do with the handle of secondary stick. i destroyed two potentiometers trying to get one to fit in the socket that an old skool toggle button used to go. after that i rummaged though the salvage bin i found some large plastic trim pots with the right size peg to fit into my knob. it was kinda small so i wrapped it in a lot of electical tape till it fit, and tightened the retention screws. i was kinda concerned they would crack the plastic but it held and i tested it with a multimeter and a battery (right way to read a pot is to use it as a voltage divider, ground one side and apply voltage to the other and read the voltage at the center pin), and it worked and felt pretty solid. so now what was a 2 xis stick is now a 3 axis stick. it also doesnt get in the way of the main stick which is a plus.

i still have 3 more axis ports at my disposal. i still dont have a throttle lever anywhere on the unit. i may do a single slider and a couple trim knobs/sliders, or i may do a a dual throttle and rudder knob. another idea is to add a port for an external throttle and rudder.

The intention with OSAP is that everyone who uses it should be on more or less exactly the same level/have exactly the same amount of money/be at the same standard of living, and to do that they make several heavily biased assumptions about the "average" situation and impose the expectation that you conform to it. Work/study programs through OSAP exist, but only really allow for 1000 dollars extra per semester, and require you to apply and get a job on campus.

The intention with OSAP is that everyone who uses it should be on more or less exactly the same level/have exactly the same amount of money/be at the same standard of living, and to do that they make several heavily biased assumptions about the "average" situation and impose the expectation that you conform to it. Work/study programs through OSAP exist, but only really allow for 1000 dollars extra per semester, and require you to apply and get a job on campus.

Everyone who uses it...
Well, that seems like it's an optional thing. What if you opt out?

This OSAP doesn't sound like it's helping you all that much.  There's got to be some benefit you're not telling us about.

So ditch it and work part time (20 hours a week instead of 40-ish).  Even at minimum (American, at least) wage, if you're working part time, you'll make more than $1000 a semester, and for less than full time job time commitments.

Minimum wage would be 10.25/hour here, so 20 hours a week, would put me at just shy of 1000/month. And that doesn't include tuition costs, which OSAP does cover.

EDIT: So in other words not really enough to get by. I've done most of the calculations, and they pretty much screw you over whichever way you go. I grumble, but at the end of the day I get by.

Can't believe this turned into a full scale rant-fest  :nervous:

This is why I'm loving my chosen career path. Save up for eight thousand dollars (which I'll be achieving in about 3 months, and add on another couple for good measure) and voila, done tuition for the entire time I need to be there

One year intensives are amazing, specially if you end it with a job ready demo reel.

My suggestion is to actually work for a year full time, then head back to school. Either that, or choose to live at home with your parents. Sure, nobody wants to live with their parents, but on a financial level I wouldn't say your any less for doing so. It's a financially smart choice. Do you HAVE to be on Campus (or in the same area) all the time? I could however, understand it if you originally lived out of town. Then well, got nothing...

I'm from a 5000 person town 30-45 minutes from any major population centers and an hour and a half from my Uni. Honestly, I wouldn't mind living with my parents, they could use the help (they own greenhouses, but since they just bought them off my grandfather for whom they'd worked for 20 odd years and who just about ran the business into the ground; they're still fighting to build it back up, and with the economy like it is it's an uphill battle), but that just wouldn't work given the distances involved.

And with luck, I'll be done by next christmas; I'm in the middle of 3rd year at the moment, so I might as well finish things up and be done with it.

i did some wiring on the joystick of doom. got all my pots hooked up to headers so i can plug them into the joystick board. everything seems to work fine. there a small bit of noise and i might consider adding a low pass filter board to each channel to get rid of that if it gets troublesome. im not sure i have enough female headers for all my buttons, so i might have to salvage some scrap for them or directly solder them to the matrix board.

finished the wiring job on the joystick of doom. all current features are wired in. so far its only 4 buttons a hat and 5 axes, but i will add to that as time goes on. right now its sort of usable, i got it propped up on some lego tires pending me finishing the enclosure. i connected everything and tested it (sort of, i haven't actually played any games with it yet, as its still mostly confined to my work bench) and it works well. i still need to find a way to mount the circuit boards, i probably got some standoffs somewhere i can use. i really dont want to be drilling a bunch of holes till i map out how im going to use the available control space, so i might just use zip ties and duct tape. i have connections for 3 more axes and 28 more buttons, and finding room for all of those is going to suck.

Nope. I was full time for 5 of those years - four in a row, then got a job in my field, so started working, whilst simultaneously signing up for classes which I didn't hand in assignments for - Went back and did my fifth full time year during the worst of the GFC, then went back to work after that. So now I will graduate with three years full time experience, and bugger all debt (since I've paid off huge chunks of my HECS with a mining salary). Basically, I've avoided doing any significant academic work for the past five years, and yet I am graduating with no negative consequences. :D

I think I've finally managed to grind my way to an competitive army in Shogun 2, I only began playing it about a month ago so most players are heavily advanced through the Avatar system since they've been playing since release.  That said I started off strong and climbed ranks quickly but around  levels 5 - 7  copper star I was getting shellacked by gold star opponents.  Even when they didn't do anything tactically brilliant their vets went through my troops like a wet paper bag.  So for a couple weeks I got mauled regularly but managed to keep leveling up my guys.  Finally I built up a solid core of Katana Samurai that use clan upgrades to be replenished after every battle, they are augmented by a pool of solid naginata and nodachi troops that I can draw from and finally a corps of cavalry that will at the very least tie up my opponent's cav and at best wreak some havoc on my foe's rear.  At first I started fighting some heavily ranked players and losing closely, and this past week I started managing to pull off victories.  I'm pretty stoked, it will take a bit to repair my win loss ratio from that dry spell but I'm in a much better place then I was.

Another thing, if you ever play the Shogun II check out the actually ground level fighting, they did a lot of motion capture for the units and as a practitioner of Kendo and other melee martial arts it's pretty badass when you can recognize that the troops are using proper technique.

A salute to Abdullah Edwards. Those of you who have served and lost those whose lives were yours to look after would know my pain. To the rest of you, you can't begin to understand unless you have been there. Not being critical here just there is this deep hole in my soul that I can't ever seem to fill no matter how hard I try. Ten years latter and his ghost haunts me still.

Because you need the internet in order to be infected by viruses
To elaborate, someone could have created a malicious thing and put it there manually, or taken an already existing one connected to say, a file, and put it there

old skool virus spreadding.

virus infects a file, eg course work

n00b innocently puts infected file onto a floppy disk, cd, dvd, flash drive, portable hard drive, mp3 player, etc

n00b connects said media to networked computer and opens/runs file

virus activates infecting the computer.

virus starts infecting files on the new computer

n00b uses an infected files down the network

that computer becomes infected

repeat until network dies or computer tech gets off his lazy arse and fixes the problem after several hours of swearing and an unhealthy ammout of tea/coffee/cola/stimulant drink

Essentially, the student is trying to get a free class. If you need the computer in order to do the class, and you don't have a computer to do the class, you don't do the class
At least, that's their logic

Posted the story that I've been working on in the Fan-Fiction and Art board, at least as far as I've gotten done so far.  It's a sidestory to the epic-length Fallout: Equestria setting, and is currently sitting pretty at four chapters and about 19k words.  I'm pretty pleased with it.  Feedback appreciated.

Look at it this way, FlammingCobra. Would you rather have a bunch of faceless people who don't know you on a personal level, critique some of you less than well thought out ideas, or people who actually hold a significant place in your life? Take it from me, sometimes things sound like they are clever or smart, until they leave your head and Nuke gets hold of them and riddles you with holes made by radioactive bullets of GTFO,MTFU and other witty and soul crushing CHARACTER BUILDING comments.
****, at least if you say something stupid here, it will usually only go as far as here. Dekker's my older brother so if I do so, I get grilled about it for a while in real life.
Did I get upset that people would take the piss? Yeah a little, until I realised that I would have taken the piss out of me as well, had I been them. I learned from their jeers and jabs, and I'm still learning.

Now, sip on a nice warm cup of cement and HARDEN UP (in a non-gay way). **** could always be worse.

So I was hanging out with this girl I knew from college last night. We were at a friend's house, sitting on the floor catching up and whatnot. Then there was a pause in the convo, and she slowly tentatively put her arm around me. I did the same and then she laid her head on my shoulder and we just sat there for a while. It was quite lovely; I felt really content.


Then I woke up.

In converse to Dekker's exposures to the female kind, I managed to fix a virus problem on my dad's laptop in under 20 minutes--not including the time it took to scan it--20 minutes being how long it took just to get the computer into a usable state where I could cut off the virus's air supply.

It's official, I'm not getting laid until I'm 40.

You never know, one day you might find a girl that you just click with. Sure she'll be a computer program, but Love's love, right?  ;7

That being said, providing conditions allow it, after Christmas me and the girl I like might be going iceskating. Strategic stumbling and  blatant accidental boob grabs may ensue.   :drevil:

Every single guard and soldier in the game will tell you "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee". It's actually a very clever plot element on Bethesda's part, as the entirety of the Imperial and Stormcloak forces being composed of cripples explains why the war is stagnant except where the player character directly intervenes.

They don't even know my name either

Oh restaurants. It's always down to "Hey! You! You there with the thing in your hand"

Good thing this week is going to fairly easy for me. Training people is pretty well, best thing to do. I have help, and I can delegate tasks that I would otherwise not get around to doing. Number two trainee tomorrow, what B.S. should I tell him about? I was thinking Hobart was created by Aliens and should be religiously be cleaned otherwise you get anal probed

I attended my graduation ceremony

As part of the audience
When one of the people who were graduating did a speech (she was chosen for it), she was saying that each one of us was unique, and make a joke about us all being dressed in the blue robes and hats.
I laughed at them all for I was the only one with individuality

Well since your notority is exclusive to HLP (as far as I know) I'd say that any all help you give to your family members or friends does not help one bit (at least directly). You'll have to start posting intelligently, or at least reduce the number of posts that can be considered drivel (by not posting them in the first place).

Take up some artistic hobbies such as sketching, painting, music compisition/performance, etc. before trying to make anything with a CAD tool, that way your mind has been sufficiently "programmed" for the arts, and therefore you will have a higher chance of success when using the CAD tools.

Well since your notority is exclusive to HLP (as far as I know) I'd say that any all help you give to your family members or friends does not help one bit (at least directly). You'll have to start posting intelligently, or at least reduce the number of posts that can be considered drivel (by not posting them in the first place).

Take up some artistic hobbies such as sketching, painting, music compisition/performance, etc. before trying to make anything with a CAD tool, that way your mind has been sufficiently "programmed" for the arts, and therefore you will have a higher chance of success when using the CAD tools.

We're using CAD tools in drafting right now.

EDIT: I also used to draw a lot. I made a thread on the "fan fiction & art" board and posted an example of some of my past work.

I attended my graduation ceremony

As part of the audience
When one of the people who were graduating did a speech (she was chosen for it), she was saying that each one of us was unique, and make a joke about us all being dressed in the blue robes and hats.
I laughed at them all for I was the only one with individuality
Muahahaha

...I need a life
Loads of people were sleeping during my graduation. That's how boring it was. o_o

Haha! Actually, that reminds me. When the Principal came up and was saying that the ceremony was almost over, a little kid screamed out "YAAAAAAY". Timing was hilarious, and the fact it echoed throughout the Orpheum was even more so

the most exciting part of my graduation was that the faculty guy who introduced all the various speakers had a hilariously cliche deep radio announcer's voice.  every time he spoke, the student floor started cracking up.  and our keynote speaker was a ****ing GIANT (like, 7+ foot, ripped as ****) high-ranking general.

I came to the conclusion about an hour ago that perhaps I should ask one of the hostesses out at the restaurant.
One of the more talked to people who come visit me in my corner

Thought wouldn't of crossed my mind had she not bothered to inquire about who the hell I actually was. A month in, and she finally decided "By the way, what is your name?" (She asked first, not me.) Her always smiling at me was a second indication to give it a shot... albeit that probably just comes with her being a hostess

Nothing says you can't ask for it and drop the coffee question too. How else will you plan where you meet?
It'll pretty much tell you how interested she is too. If you don't ask you'll never get it so what's to lose?

i wrote (rather re-wrote) a command line serial interface proggie to talk to the ppjoy virtual joystick driver. you can use it to, of all things, get joystick data from an arduino on a fake serial port. im trying to take one of those chinese made usb playstation gamepad knockoffs for the pc and make it wireless for remote control applications. i needed a way to test the firmware im deving for the microcontroller which reads the adcs, debounces buttons, and packetizes all the data and transmits it over an ask module to whatever device im controlling with it. anyway im debugging the firmware and i needed a quick way to view the output, so i dug up my old serial interface proggie that i never finished and hacked it to feed the data to the driver. it works for the most part but the virus scanner doesnt seem to like it.

Good for you, I live an hour from VT myself and have been there many times. Don't think there is a more beautiful campus out there. As for the shooting it was a VT police officer and the man they suspect to have gunned him down that died. While still a tragedy, only it's location gives it significance beyond local news as scenes like this play out daily else where. It is a terrible thing to happen mind you but the media is making a bigger circus of it than it really is.

i think i just quashed the last bug in my 'convert ****ty gamepad to wireless' project. spent several hours trying to figure out why the receiver wasn't picking up any data. what it came down to is the wireless module was loose in its socket and needed to have its pins bent so it fits in a little more snugly. once i figured that out i noticed my terminal window started displaying actual data packets instead of the random noise it was picking up earlier. the problem isnt totally solved though, but i figure all i got to do is plate the contacts with solder to make them fill that ***** up. worst case scenario i can just solder the ****ing transmiter directly to the mcu.

i had to use the dead bug mentality to get an mcu board small enough to fit in the game pad. to that end i ditched the board. i had a nice piece of strip board and i didnt want to cut it up. so i took a 28 pin mcu socket. soldered a crystal, caps, a pull up resistor for the reset pin, pulldowns for the matrix input. i ran out of 1/8th watt 10k resisters, so i had to use some ****ing huge 1 watt ones instead. i also put in a 6 pin icsp header. why the **** i never put these into my previous projects is beyond me. sure beats prying microcontrollers out of sockets and breaking pins in the process. i was also amazed at how much faster my $6 usb avr programmer is over that usb serial bridge. i wanted to put a low pass filter on the analog reference, but the datasheet said it would require an inductor that i didnt have. so i guess it will pick up noise from the regulator.

last part of the project i will do tomorrow, and that is to shorten the wires i use for testing and solder them to the socket directly instead of through the bread board ive been using for debugging. one more thing to do is to figure how much power it draws and build an appropriate supply. performance isnt bad, i stepped up the resolution from 8 to 10 bits, and i get a theoretical 100 refreshes a second, but with overhead its a little less than that. definately need to tune the debounce code, right now its a bit bouncey, probibly because the delay between samples is too short. i had it set up where the buttons required 3 refresh cycles to figure out the button state but that made it unresponsive but with very good debounce. now its responsive as **** with a high likelihood of bounce. somewhere in the middle is probibly desirable. if the chip has a spare timer i could use that to sample the buttons at a far more regular rate. tweaking the delay is probibly the best bet, but make it too high and you dont get enough updates a second out of it.

The good: There's someone in one of my psychology classes who sent out a mass email with all their notes for the exam tomorrow, and they seem well fleshed out and accurate. Perfect for comparing my notes against.

The bad: They number, in total, 76 pages. Typed, 11pt Calibri, single spaced.

The ugly: Not being sure if 90% of it is useless schlock we won't be tested on, or if I should actually know (and have notes on) everything on these 76 pages.  :nervous:

2nd year Cognitive. I'm going to skim it anyways, and to pass the course I need something like a 20% on the exam. Multiple choice with 2 short essay questions, so even if I BS the entire thing I'll probably be fine.

Just a bit worrying to see the sheer amount of notes, when I was feeling like the major concepts could be covered in more like 10 pages XD

The next exam will be more worrying. Sensation & Perception, much closer to actual science, and she takes off marks for anything wrong you say in the short answer questions. Actually need to spend my time off between exams studying for that one.  :lol:

i cant say i do any actual engineering. i know how to program a microcontroller and i know what diodes to use to build a button matrix and i know what value of resistor to use for pull dows/ups, and i know the proper way to read a potentiometer. i cant really say i do any actual maths to make the ideal circuit. if i have to do something math heavy, like a switch mode power converter, **** no, not going there (though im sure there is a calculator on the net somewhere). when it comes to digital logic you dont have to do much more than wire a bunch of chips together. these days the chips do pretty much everything for you.

Post by: Nuke on December 10, 2011, 10:16:41 am
why would i want a job? it amuses me to waste my talent on useless activities while simultaneously giving the finger to those capitalist whores who i will one day impale and then nuke. it will be a joyous day indeed.

i sort of finished the game pad. sort of meaning that i had intended to have an internal battery with an external charge header. however the battery pack i was going to use stopped working and will no longer take a charge, and i have no other cells on hand small enough to fit into this thing. so i just put in the voltage regulator board i made and ran the wires to the outside, where a battery pack (home made fo course with batteries from a dead laptop and no safety hardware at all) is suspended beneath the unit by velcro. the unit seems to only be drawing 300ma, if i read the meter correctly so this monster pack should last awhile.

it works but i think i may need to optimize my software some more. i setup my arduino to parrot anything that came in on the serial line and re-transmit it. communication is one way, so it doesnt matter that im using the same uart to go to and from two different devices. problem here is im getting considerable lag between when i hit a button and when something moves on the computer. i think this is happening because somewhere data is sitting in a fifo buffer and the is piling up, filling up the buffer faster than it can be emptied. data rate is only 4800 bps so a 256 byte buffer will take 420 ms to cycle every bit of data out of it.

 i dont think the problem is in the ppjoy proggie i wrote to capture the serial data and post it to the virtual driver, since i explicitly set its buffer to 18 bytes (enough to hold 2 whole frames). though playing with the buffer size seems to have odd results. like drooping it below 13 bytes never returns a valid frame, setting it at 13 fails half the time but is the most responsive (of course thats 33 refreshes a second instead of 66). you can set it to 15 and it will only be bad once every dozen or so frames. but 18 seems to be the best one because it is never wrong it seems.

i may also be filling up the buffer too fast at the mcu in the game pad and its sitting in the buffer. i may just need to waste more cycles, i could add a delay at the end of each frame transmission, but id hate to stick a delay in there and waste time when i can use the time for more constructive tasks, for example take more button samples for the debouncer or wait longer between samples. thats changing a couple defines, which is easier than opening and closing the case again to get to the programming header. the arduino in the middle could be to blame as well, but it doesnt do much at all. figure out how big the recieve buffer is and take steps to decrease it.

the final thing that could be the issue is the operating system is not processing the data with any priority at all. even with the proggie at highest priority (its only a few k and doesnt use too much time) its still laggy, and im not sure changing the process priority does anything for it. its likely the roundabout way im getting the data into the computer. its not going through its own driver and the send rate doesnt go up at all. ditch the arduino for a usb capable mcu (or run a software usb stack) and go through the hid class. for now im going to ditch the man in the middle and try to control something else, like my r/c receiver board. gotta re-write its firmware to accept the new frame format though, and thats a project in of itself.

Computer Software Engineering.  According to people there, they have a programming team (as in, an actual competitive team) which regularly gets attention from IBM as a medium for recruiting internships.

Unfortunately, their engineering program requires that you start as a general engineering major and transfer into their CSE program (which is a little silly IMO, but hey, whatever it takes).

When an object is 8 lightyears away, we see it in the state it was 8 years ago.
When Nuke travels 8 lightyears from that star to us (having constructed his own rocket), we see him as how he was 8 years ago.
But if he would travel faster then light, then what kind of nuke would we see then? A nuke that got younger during his journey?

You would see a Nuke in the state he was when he visited the star, which means 8 years ago.  Just because he moved faster than light doesn't mean that the light got to us any faster form the star.  If he travels faster than light, we would see him as however long it subjectively took him to get to the star, plus the eight years it took the light from the star to reach us.

It depends, to a degree, on how much faster than light he was travelling. Faster than light still doesn't mean instantaneous, so you'd still see him travelling, but he'd... sort of stretch. If Nuke managed to travel at almost exactly C (add +.00001km/h or some similarly negligible difference so you can technically call it FTL, but only just barely, as far as the F is concernet) and you had a telescope that was capable of resolving across an eight light-year distance, what you'd see is, essentially, a spaceship working its way up to speed in the distant system, accelerating to C, and then instantly appearing right near you, where, since Nuke's the one piloting your hypothetical ship, it proceeds to bombard you with C-Sabot munitions, wiping out your whole planet. Alternatively, if someone else was piloting, you'd see it accelerate out of its starting star system, and blur into an almost invisible streak (difficult to see due to doppler shifting of emissions) which matches the streak that was left behind the streak the ship left when it started decellerating a reasonable distance, depending on propulsion mechanisms, outside your current star system, and hopefully misaligned from the plane of the ecliptic, in order to minimize potential... incidents.

Please, Nuke, you've got a supra-luminal drive. At those kinds of relative velocities, you don't need to bother with nukes, since you can get more damage with a simple solid projectile - a dinner plate would hit with a force measured in the kilotonne to megatonne range, depending on your china pattern - gatling guns seem even more outclassed as far as external mounts are concerned, and any aliens you've encountered in a hostile fashion should be ... I want to use the word 'vaporized,' but there wouldn't be anything left to precipitate into a vapor, much less impale on your hull.

(edit to show my work: F=M*A . M, mass of the projectile (depending on type of dinnerware, whether you're just throwing the plate or tossing in a full tablesetting, etc.) ~ 1 to 10 kgs. A, acceleration assuming that the plate comes to a complete stop from luminal speed and disregarding various relativistic effects for the sake of efficiency of calculation, will be about 2.9*10^8 meters/second. Anything where you're multiplying by ten-to-the-eighth is going to be really big.)

Also, I suggest the Joshster read Hawking's 'Universe in a nutshell.' It's got good comprehensible explanations for what you'd see, according to the best theories available pre-current-cern-thingey, which are still the only theories we (by we I mean humanity, not some secret clique of scientists that Dr. Hawking and I are in. I don't think our secret organization has formalized a secret position on this yet. I'll check with Dawkins and get back to you.) have as far as macroscopic objects are concerned.

I want to use the word 'vaporized,' but there wouldn't be anything left to precipitate into a vapor, much less impale on your hull.

(edit to show my work: F=M*A . M, mass of the projectile (depending on type of dinnerware, whether you're just throwing the plate or tossing in a full tablesetting, etc.) ~ 1 to 10 kgs. A, acceleration assuming that the plate comes to a complete stop from luminal speed and disregarding various relativistic effects for the sake of efficiency of calculation, will be about 2.9*10^8 meters/second. Anything where you're multiplying by ten-to-the-eighth is going to be really big.)

Also, I suggest the Joshster read Hawking's 'Universe in a nutshell.' It's got good comprehensible explanations for what you'd see, according to the best theories available pre-current-cern-thingey, which are still the only theories we (by we I mean humanity, not some secret clique of scientists that Dr. Hawking and I are in. I don't think our secret organization has formalized a secret position on this yet. I'll check with Dawkins and get back to you.) have as far as macroscopic objects are concerned.

i admit that ke weapons are pretty badass but i find that they dont make my geiger counter make that awesome clickey noise. the gatling guns are just for point defense.

lawlz.

Nuke, just find a neutron star. That's all you'll ever need.

just shaved another 100ms of lag off of my wireless gamepad conversion. it still has bouts of lag, for example when i get a swath of checksum fails. it actually only took the realization that it takes 15 ms to transmit a frame, and the gamepad was trying to transmit a continuous stream of bits, so buffers all the way down were overflowing. i just gave the debounce code an additional 17 ms to work, it can now collect an extra sample and spends a bit more time between them. i lose a small fraction of my theoretical throughput, but its worth it if the thing doesn't lag like a mother****er. now to figure out why im getting so many bad frames.

Nice. Very nice


Different note, I don't mind being woken up by stuff. Phone, dog, whatever
So long as it isn't a bloody nose

Well, fortune would have it... two days in a row I end up getting out of bed because of a bloody nose


EDIT:
And now I'm back to dealing with this
"Display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver version 280.26 stopped responding"
Before that, my monitor and games associated with it would display it's good 'ol 1920x1080. Then, randomly, the computer stopped reading the native resolution and displayed everything in 4:3. So I made a custom resolution, and all went back to normal. Minus of course, games displaying at 1920x1080 since the resolution didn't exist. So... using powerstrip, custom settings were made and that was fixed. Now, this windows kernel crap

Fix one, new problem. Fix that, another problem. Fix that... gah

Replacement joysticks are sold by themselves for about six bucks. I know this. And I don't need the whole joystick. It's only like 3 parts that tend to wear out. And the worst part of it is, those replacement joysticks are supposedly gutted from real n64 controllers, which is a terrible thing to do.

I saw something on youtube about replacing an N64 joystick with a GameCube one. That sounds better because I like the gamecube's joystick better anyway. It just feels better. But the problem remains that I would have to remove one from an existing controller and I feel that I cannot do that. It's like... unethical to me.

@Dilmah: Haha, nice. However... what sort of paint are you using that require four coats anyhow? Stuff I got needed only one safe for a few spots on a 1:32 model



So I finally got around to seeing if that girl I mentioned earlier would be interested in grabbing a coffee sometime (albeit, earlier this week learned she was more a tea drinker so coyly added "well, in your case tea")
She said yes to the idea, however asking "in what way" shortly thereafter. That being, date or hang out sort of ordeal. Chose the ladder since well... safe answer

On top of having an excellent discounted lunch (Thai chicken wrap) at the restaurant I work at, having a fairly good idea as to what gifts I'll be getting my family, and learning that my bank account is filled with money... I now also have a number to call

Relatively successful day I suppose

Too bad this weekend is going to be OH SO BLOODY FUN. Closing the restaurant Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This is going to be hell to say the least. Why? Friday is the busiest night of the week with Saturday following closely behind. Sunday isn't quite as bad since everyone has work the following day, however since it's shopping season... I expect it to be almost as busy. Furthermore, I don't have two opportunities for bus catching. Only 11:30... no 12:30. That means I need to haul ass

In the same day is erring on slightly too keen, the day after and perhaps the day after that is 'oh yeah, I remember you, hey!' territory and anything beyond about 3-4 days is 'Hey...who are you again?' At least in my eyes anyway.

Also it was some acrylic based stuff, the white on the invasion stripes was really what got me, my paint tends to clump up worse than anything which made it a real ***** to paint over. Probably needed a bit of water, in hindsight.

For every algorithm that generates pseudo-random numbers that you know, suppose you have a computer program that tries to generate random numbers in a Gaussian distribution, taking as input a mean and a standard deviation. It generates 1,000,000 numbers. It fails if more than whatever that percentage is of the numbers lie outside one stdev of an arbitrary mean. You have a script that runs that program 1,000,000 times. what is the expected number of failures for this program? If you run the entire test 1,000,000 times what is the expected number of times you don't get the expected number of failures?

For every algorithm that generates pseudo-random numbers that you know, suppose you have a computer program that tries to generate random numbers in a Gaussian distribution, taking as input a mean and a standard deviation. It generates 1,000,000 numbers. It fails if more than whatever that percentage is of the numbers lie outside one stdev of an arbitrary mean. You have a script that runs that program 1,000,000 times. what is the expected number of failures for this program? If you run the entire test 1,000,000 times what is the expected number of times you don't get the expected number of failures? Doing that 1,000,000 times, the expected number of times the expected number of times the expected number of failures is wrong?

So Windows started reporting a hard disk failure in one of my hard drives (not my OS drive, thankfully). I backed up what I could onto my system drive. CHKDSK reported all clear. Ran SeaTools on it, it failed the SMART check but is passing everything else so far. Windows complained again. Not sure if real problem.

Girlfriend bought me a compilation of The Iliad and The Odyssey as an advance Christmas present, and I took a real liking to it after the first few pages of getting used to the style of writing. :P This weekend will be 8 months and so we're going to the beach (it being summer and all) and so I'm rather keen for that.

Currently posting on here while my model P-51 dries after the first Olive-Drab coat on the rudder and the left wheel being reglued. T'is coming along rather nicely. But damn, the SVN update happening concurrently makes me really wish I'd done this earlier in the year. At least the team's been fairly busy!

i'm still trying to coax my testicles back out of my stomach.  the looks i got from the surfers paddling out in their wetsuits alone made it worth it though.  kinda like a mix of "what the **** is wrong with you?" and "respect, dude."   :lol:

if you're not already mostly up on the sandusky thing, it's probably not worth it.  i heard that bit i was referring to on the morning radio show and laughed hysterically for a good 5 minutes.  i'm so glad i get to hear that show again.  yesterday, they were talking about the auction of michael jackson's stuff, and apparantly someone bought a lock of his hair for $10,000+ and intends to make a roulette ball with it.  one of the co-hosts commented that michael's ball would never land on anything above 18.    :wakka:
the radio show ceased for a couple minutes as everyone tried to re-gather their composure.

charged particles, like electrons. glow is blue due to the kinetic energy being lost as light. High energy -> high frequency light.

Think of it as a photon equivalent of a sonic boom, it's created when particles move in a medium in which speed of light is lower than their own speed. That's perfectly doable, provided you accelerate them in a different medium where speed of light is higher.
It's a perfectly normal thing in nuclear reactors, and in most cases is blue.

i fixed the last bug with my new rig. i was getting lockups whenever i tried to play a game or do anything that required some go. i first suspected that my psu wasnt providing enough juice for the gpu dispite being 120 watts over what the power calculator said it would need. i was thinking that the fact that i had 3 12v rails (with the gpu and cpu each getting their own independent rail, and the last for everything else), that the juice was distributed between them not providing enough power to the rail that the gpu was on. but after scaning over the documentation for the parts i found that the rail the gpu was on could deliver a couple amps more than the gpu needed. so my suspicion shifted to the memory. i ran my diagnostics and all the cpu stuff passed with flying colors, then the memory tests started. every memory tester i used would lock up on me after some 30%, but without producing any actual errors. so i upped my memory voltage from 1.25v to 1.27v and boom el work-o. the morale of this story: ram needs power.

i saw a video of that. what the conspiracy theorists dont know is that when you take close in pictures of the sun you filter the **** out of it so youre only seeing every 100th photon. at that point any space debris not emitting light appears black to space. it needed to have its surface impacted with tonnes of super-hot solar ejecta to become visible. disregard the fact that the radiation from the flare would have baked anyone inside of it with a ****ton of radiation. the "cloaked ship" hypothesis is bogus as ****.

So can I. I mean, he had Douglas freaking Adams coproduce Division Bell which puts him only one step removed from being a timelord, so there's probably nothing he can't do. I'd just expect him to be, y'know, the royal lead guitarist.

And that is surprising how? All Intel-based Macs are 64-bit capable, seeing as how Apple only started making them after 64-bit support became commonplace.

It's not really surprising, but it's just one of those things that I won't usually consider looking up unless I'm seriously considering an upgrade of a certain component. I had a similar experience when I went to look up the type of RAM my IBM used; that culminated with me actually spending $68 and taking apart a computer on my own for the first time in my life just to replace a RAM chip.

I was thinking of a long-overdue upgrade to Snow Leopard. Lion can (probably) wait ... at least until I have enough money to double my MacBook's RAM, if it lasts that long, but by then Apple would most probably have released Mac OS X 10.8 or get eaten up by possible financial woes.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It aint NEVER Over FOOL!!!!
Post by: Pred the Penguin on December 22, 2011, 09:04:59 am
I bet you can just upgrade to Lion straight away, it's not like it's very resource intensive.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It aint NEVER Over FOOL!!!!
Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on December 22, 2011, 11:00:39 am
I can't, because Lion can only be acquired through the App Store, which is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later. The fastest legitimate way to upgrade to Lion from Leopard is to upgrade to Snow Leopard first, then update Snow Leopard to 10.6.6, install the App Store and upgrade to Lion.

Well, State's College of Engineering now requires students to have a laptop. That means it would be pretty much pointless to bring/get a new desktop.

If I have to have a laptop, I want it powerful enough for gaming in my spare time (if I have any.) I want to be able to at least play games like EVE Online.

Right now I'm looking at some Alienware laptops. Considering the budget constraints, I'm going to say the M14x is the best option. But I don't know if its graphics card is good enough.

I've looked at EVE Online's system requirements and I've looked at this page (http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_family.html) but that doesn't really tell me anything as far as graphics cards go. It'd be nice if you guys could give me some help.

that... that's sort of... wow. I just... Damn.

Also, as long as you're okay with running at lower settings (Eve is pretty, but it's not graphics-oriented in terms of gameplay. Stuff looks pretty, but it's really just a very intense spreadsheet. In a good way. I've got a free trial code if someone wants it...) you should be fine with something a lot less overpriced, showy, and thief-baitish than an alienware. Heck, I run it through wine and I'm still getting a perfectly playable framerate on a video card that's now two product generations behind cutting edge.

Actually, the first round of intel MacBooks were 32 bit only. For example most of the 2007 Core2Duo series, with GMA950s. The chip can do it, but the motherboard is 32 bit only.

I've looked at EVE Online's system requirements and I've looked at this page (http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_family.html) but that doesn't really tell me anything as far as graphics cards go. It'd be nice if you guys could give me some help.

Alienware is overpriced and owned by Dell. That right there makes me avoid them like the plague.

Just recently I bought 2 laptops on behalf of friends. One was a 600$ CDN Acer 15" with an AMD A8 processor and a 6600 series graphics card that crossfired to make a 6740G2. The other was IIRC 900$, was a 17" Acer with an i5 and an AMD 6850 (and a second hard drive bay for later expansion). Both of them needed one modification: a second 4gb stick of RAM, to round them up to 8gb. Both are perfectly capable of running, for example Skyrim on Medium/High on the 15" and High on the 17", with very little to no lag.

Short version: There's no need to spend out the nose for a gaming laptop anymore, unless you want something flashy to increase your e-peen. And any company that implies otherwise is lying through their teeth.

EDIT: just realized this gives you no idea as to what Nvidia cards are like. Essentially, if you want to game seriously, you want a 560m, and a 555m should be fair as well. on the AMD side, those two above perform quite well, but the 6850 in that Acer is slightly hampered by DDR3 RAM. It still runs really well, but would benefit from GDDR5.

Also: Asus makes good laptops at reasonable prices, and aren't as likely to get stolen as Alienwares. Acers are admittedly cheaper, and I haven't had any issues with them, but the build quality is higher on an Asus.

a simple laptop lock goes a long way to prevent theft.  use it even in your room.  a guy on my hall got his laptop stolen from his room while he was in it.  one guy held him down while the other ran off with it.

Wait, it's safe!
    Hello
     
    Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. I got your contact from the professional data base found on the internet Google tourist search when i was searching for a foreign reliable partner. I assured of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity.
     
    My name is Captain William Johnson the commander of the Special N.A.T.O coalition force with the United Nation troops in Afghanistan, on war against terrorism. I was working with General Stanley Mc Chrystal, the former commander of U.S and NATO forces in Afghanistan before he was replaced last June by General David Petraeus. I am serving currently in a Taliban territory; a remote Village in Bamyan province to the bustling capital Kabul (CBC’s Doc Zone).
     
    After series of attacks from terrorist groups on United States troops in Afghanistan especially the shot down of US helicopter that killed 30 American soldiers on the 5th of August 2011 and the five American soldiers who were killed by a bomb in Afghanistan few weeks ago, we got an information about the sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in Marzar Sharif, a suburb not too far from Kabul here in Afghanistan. After Immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of the Terrorists,(7) injured. In the process of torture they confessed being rebels for Abu Baqir a Taliban sub-commander and al-Qaida group leader, and they took us to a cave in Marzar Sharif. Which served as their camp , there we recovered several guns and other Ammunitions including some boxes among which two contains nuclear weapons, and the other contains some millions of US Dollars and i have in my possession the sum of 18.7 million U.S. dollars.
     
    I am in keen need of a Reliable and Trustworthy person who would receive, secure and protect the cargo box which contains the Money for me until my assignment here is completed. I assure and promise to give you 30% of this fund and you keep 70%for me at the successful conclusion of this deal.
     
    It is never a stolen money or illegal money but because of what we face here to bring peace in this war zone that has caused the life’s of many soldiers which no amount of compensation will bring them back to life or put smiles on the faces of their families, that is the reasons my unit decided to share the money among us but return all the guns and ammunition's to our Camp, it is official and that's the reason i need your assistance to ship the box to any save location of your choice.
     
    Please, i trust you to maintain absolute secrecy and confidentiality to protect my job, myself and the money. In less than 5 days the box should be in your possession and i will give you further instructions. But you must know that i have taken precautionary measures to secure the money. The box is coded with high security gadget so am the only one that has the right combination to unlock it.
     
    The only telephone access we have here is radio message which is for our general use and is being monitored; therefore all communication will be via email till we finish our assignment. Please keep it to yourself even if you are not interested, thank God for President Barrack Obama whose keen interest is to call us back home soon.
    I confide strictly in you and appeal that you make this deal your topmost secret. Please kindly get back to me on my private email address [email protected]
     
    With the assurances of my gratitude and compliance to the terms, I remain;
     
    Very sincerely,
    Capt.William Johnson

Whereas I've yet to have an Acer last less than 3 years, and watched several Dells and HPs die within 10-14 months. To each his own I suppose. Seeing that your parents are paying, go with one of those badass Asus laptops. They're built solidly, and look awesome.

My acer netbook is small and underpowerd, as expected from an atom based system, but it's an energizer-bunny-style small. Sucker just will not quit. (course I had to upgrade the ram and swap out the spinny disc for an ssd, but if you're not up to doing stuff like that, well...) ~7&1/2 hours on a charge with low power consumption options, lightweight enough and durable enough to stand up to pretty severe usage... and even with the cost of replacement parts, it was under 400$, runs blender well enough to do modelling (though I use my desktop for renders - you can only fit so much ram in something that tiny), bluetooths nicely to my mouse, etc. etc. etc. Only complaint I've had with it is the irritation factor involved in configuring the ACPI to work properly under lubuntu.

Most of my issue with Dell comes from build quality (at least recently) and poorly laid out configurations at comparatively high prices. I wouldn't take such issue with it if the company didnt take advantage of their name to sell comparatively mediocre systems at relatively high prices.

i had to experiment with the recipe to make it work. first try used a cup of booze and one shot of eggnog, second attempt hanf and half was kinda weak. by the time i perfected the recipe i could n longer spell correctly. making the recipe recursive is a good idea. we still got some eggnog but i used up all the brandy and rum that i got for satanmas, i still have tequila but im going to margaritaville with that. and now that i bring that up:

Rankings came out today. 90.2, pretty happy with that considering my house was a battlefield for most of the year. Most surprising and fulfilling part was the fact that my maths mark went from 43% (D grade) to 67.9% (B grade). :D

I now don't have to waste time on an equivalent maths course in aviation over east! However, my physics mark got scaled down to a C so I may consider redoing it, even though it isn't listed officially as a pre-requisite subject for RAAF aircrew anymore.

67% got me a B in Calc II here.  Grading funny is hardly an Australian-exclusive funny thing. :P

my (nuclear) reactor hydrodynamics professor would like a word with you.



although come to think of it... i got an A in that class and my average must have been somewhere in the 50-70 range.  40 was a typical exam average.

Depends on the professor and the distribution of marks.  A 40% netted me a 'C' in Physics 240.  That was mostly because that professor realized that if he had the balls to fail everyone who couldn't do second-order PDE's in their third semester at university, then the Physics department would not have had a graduating class for 2007.

It's called "curving the grade", and it's pretty common at the university level. I've had several classes where a 72 netted me a respectable B, because pretty much nobody was getting A's or even high B's in the class.

In fact, it's so common that for the last tough class I had (Compiler Writing, which is also known as the "CS Department Hell Course"), the professor made it extremely clear that she was not curving the grade at all. I still passed, thank God (*shivers* I am not retaking that class...  :shaking:).

The thing that I always wondered  about grade curving was why the professors didn't simply ease up on the material, instead of frying everyone's brains and then bumping up their grades. :p

Well, thank God for grade-curving at a high school level. :P

However I found out that due to some stupidity within my curriculum council, my standardized and moderated mark isn't counted on my leaving certificate and that instead, my D grade for Calculus stands.

****.

Time to put down for my aeronautical mathematics course.

Well, my college prides itself on challenging its students, and therefore generating highly competent graduates. If you can't keep up with the work, you obviously don't deserve to be in the college. (We do have a 60-70% dropout rate in first-year students. Seriously, the intro-level classes sometimes literally halve themselves in size over the semester. It's kinda scary.)

That's all well and good, but unless you're part of the small percentage that winds up going into academia, the majority of the actual material you cover isn't going to be of any practical use in your career.  That was my experience with my physics curriculum, anyway.  I would have much rather had a more practical component to my education than have been subjected to Death By Problem Sets.

I'm kind of surprised anyone would actively pursue a degree in physics without the ultimate goal of staying in academia.  Outside of universities and national labs, there is very little demand for physics majors.  And in order to be competitive in either of those arenas, you pretty much need to go all the way to the PhD + 1 or 2 post-docs.  I know there are other places for physics majors to find employment, but I'd be hard pressed to find any of them.

My engineering course work, on the other hand, is something I've had to fall back on multiple times during my work experience.  I have my design work with seals, pressure containment, and material selection that I deal with on a routine basis.  And yes, most of it was stuff that is so specific to my particular job that I had to learn the tools of the trade after I started working, but not everything.  I have also regularly run into problems outside my normal routine, so I've had to dig through my old notes and texts to find where I'd messed with that kind of scenario before.

Physics majors get hired in many different industries (engineering, software, finance, consulting, etc.), but you're right that the jobs are not specifically physics jobs and they won't actually be doing physics with only a bachelor's degree. The same is true of math majors.

We have a few physics PhDs in my department at work though. They work on things like materials science and optics.

Just finished System Shock 2. Overall, a fantastic time, except for
Spoiler:
some frustrating battles towards the end.
Moving on to Thief.

Oh, and speaking of grades, I passed algorithms, automatically making this a good day. :D

Grades in graduate school are odd in their own way: for many, if not most, classes, it's not so much a curve as it is putting people into bins, with the bins usually being A, A-, B+, B, maybe B-, but grades below that are rare. In core courses, B+ is the minimum passing grade for Ph.D. students, so the B/B+ divide is the only one that people generally care about. Anything above B+ is either icing on the cake or (more likely) a sign that you worked too hard on that class and should have spent more time on your research.

Vector fields maybe if it was a higher level course. :P The stuff in my particular course is Year 11/12 maths course stuff applied to aviation, regarding things like top speeds, drag curves, take off/landing distances, max altitude etc. Idea is to engage blokes who usually aren't into mathsy kind of things at all to bring up their quals to enter places like the RAAF. Has a fairly good track record and I know a number of pilots who are currently in who've done it to repeat their maths after having failed or gotten a crap grade. (A lot more than you think, not a surprise when you consider the kind of people who usually make the best pilots).

Well, my original plan/dream was to go into academia, but...things didn't work out that way, for a number of reasons.  That's left me sitting here with a B.S. and looking for work.   From the statistics I've seen from sources like the American Institute of Physics, though, over half of physics undergrads go straight out of college into employment in the industry, so I'm hardly the only person in this situation.

Yeah but if I wanted to get my arse handed to me, I'd go to the local pub and call everyone a wanker and say that football is for gays.
That aside, just tried again and got all my troops wiped out on my first terror mission that turned into a bloody and vicious close quarters battle during the night, with my one rocket tank vs three cyberdisks just outside my skyranger and the rest of the squad being kiled off in the twos with every corner turned and every sectoid downed.

Finally managed to get that stupid "Vista Home Security 2012" virus off my computer last night. By downloading a registry file from the internet on a (hopefully) safe computer away from home and adding it to my computer, I was able to begin executing programs again. I booted to safe mode and the virus did not execute this time. Previously, the virus loaded even when I booted in safe mode. After attempting to run System Restore several times, it finally loaded. I traveled back in time to yesterday and then ran a full virus scan.
Jeremiah came over here yesterday. We've been trying to forward my ports for months but with no success. His parents (he still lives in a cabin separate from their house. He's 21. I guess he just likes the free internet) recently downgraded to the same internet that we have, so their internet "totally blows" now. On the bright side, he had to figure out how to port forward with pretty much the same modem/router setup as we have. So it should be easy to do it again at my place right?

Wrong.

It took him from like 6:00 pm to nearly 3:00 am to figure it out. A few hours after he began...
"I don't understand! I'm configuring this using the same process as when I configured it at my house and it works there!"

a few hours later...
"o my god wat the **** is this ****!?"

a few hours later...
"i'm gonna go outside and smoke a cigarette"

a few hours later...
"I don't think it's the modem. I think your computer is just being a total *****."

You get the picture. no matter what he did, uTorrent said the port was closed. port forward checker said Hamachi's port was also closed.

Eventually, he connected the modem to his laptop and configured it on his computer. uTorrent said the port was open. He forwarded the port for Hamachi and checked it with the port forward checker. That one was open too. But when he connected the modem back to my computer, both ports were closed. I believed he disabled a bunch of programs that ran on startup, and that was how he eventually got the ports to be open. We don't know which one was screwing us over but it's fixed now.
While he was over here I finally managed to get USB Loader GX to work.... somehow. All I know is I screwed around with the cIOS's some more. But I don't think I could do it over again even if my life depended on it.

Work less hours. (If you need the money, actively try and look for a better paying job you'd enjoy more.)

This is a six day work week for me, luckily I get a break Tuesday promptly following the worlds most ridiculous weekend. I was very close to stabbing someone in the eye with a fork, getting myself fired, and going to that crazy house next to the hospital for a few months

... which based on exchange rates the past couple years would seem to come out to about $10-to-$30.

Should be a way to use the OS clock to time your functions, so you can figure out where the trouble spots are.

I really don't think the bullet physics are something you should ditch... maybe your having issues with the rendering engine i.e. not culling efficiently.

But don't leave it too long, because then they become prohibitively expensive again. It's an inverse bell curve thing.

Actually, they're pretty ****ing expensive too. A standard-length 26 episode series box set will generally run anywhere from $30 - $50. That's about the same amount of video content as a season of Doctor Who, now that I do the math.

But anime's been getting more expensive lately as Japan's and the US's respective economic recessions take their toll. They recently announced a 12-episode anime for $90... and that's the cheapest price. If you want the super-special deluxe edition, it's $225. For 12 20-minute episodes (on Blu-ray + some other doo-dads like the soundtrack and whatnot, granted). The anime fandom's been having an apoplexy over that one.

The astonishing thing is that this is still nowhere near the cost of it in Japan. That same 12 episode deluxe box set? Over 40,000 yen... meaning more than $400. So it's not like Japan's ripping off the foreigners here... we're actually getting a much better price than they are.

Honestly, the best advice i can give you based on my own experience, is to not do, what doesn't draw your attention. Combat Engineering is (to me at least) the best job on the planet. I'd do it 365 days a year if i could. But you need to look at both the roles you mentioned and decide which is best for you as an individual. Officer / Enlisted "Ordinary Rank" are two different kettles of fish. I'm no Officer, but I know some outstanding ones.

See if you can try them both out for a bit.

Cheers Dekker, I ended up putting down for 'Engineer Corps Officer' and giving it a crack, got myself a date on Jan 24 to do aptitude testing and an initial interview. I did a little bit of reading about the Royal Australian Engineer Corps and about what CE's do, in terms of the counter mobility and general construction tasks which particularly appealed to me. The mobility tasking seemed bloody cool, with bomb disposal, obstacle clearance, road and airfield maintenance among it.

I'd be happy to be enlisted as an OR CE, but you're right about them being different kettles of fish for sure, and Officering is really the one I've dreamed about for yonks (though straight Combat Engineering is my second pref option). Either way, it seems like a bloody good way to have some more fun and get some use out of the 3 years I've got to spend at uni (since I've decided I may as well finish a degree I start and my objectives have turned to how to make myself more competitive and get the most use out of those 3 years).

Whether I get accepted is another thing entirely, though, since I understand that there aren't too many 18/19 year old Officer Cadets walking around at the Royal Military College. Oh well, best to give it a good shot!

I think it's because they have some insane entertainment tax of some sorts. It's the same with games and many other things made in Japan.

Well, it's not like I've had much of a chance to play it, but from what people who played the demo have said, it handles the subject of disabilities very tastefully. From what I've seen of it, that does seem to be the case. Can't tell you how in-depth and "soulful" it is until I actually get somewhere in the story.

Oh, and it's not a manga, it's a game. Kind of like a computer version of those "Choose your own adventure" books. It's extremely text-heavy, but every now and again you are presented with a choice, and the story branches based on the consequences of that choice.

Well, I've played enough of it by now to know that they are definitely not making light of disabilities. In fact, one of the major initial conflicts is the protagonist coming to terms with having cardiac arrythmia, as well as having uncertainties on how to interact with disabled people, like not knowing who to focus on when speaking with a deaf-mute and her interpreter, and being confused as to what the rules of etiquette are on either ignoring or acknowledging a person's handicap. Other characters range from being totally adjusted to their handicaps ("Check me out, I'm the fastest girl on no legs!") to having issues with it (Hanako being so terminally withdrawn and shy due to her burn scarring).

I read up on the project and it turns out that a number of medical professionals assisted with the writing and the creators did some research into this stuff, to make sure they were getting the details right.



Also, Rin is hilarious. Definitely doing her route next, just to see what other bizarre things she has to say. :lol:

I...  Yes.  This has needed to happen for a long time.

Speaking of X-COM, Steam's daily deal is the X-COM complete pack today.  It's $5.09 for the pack, or $5.07 for UFO Defense, Terror from the Deep, and Apocalypse.  I bought those games individually, instead of the pack, because Enforcer and Interceptor weren't worth two cents between them.

I liked Metroid Other M. Sure, just like most games, had it's flaws and things that didn't make sense... but that's true to say of... all games
Take Skyrim for example. Why the devil is there a hole I can get into, but can't get out? Because the environment designer DIDN'T BLOODY THINK THAT THROUGH

Funny note though: Here I was, doing a quest that involved killing a few things from the College of Winterhold questline, and boom. When I was busy taking on these things, A DRAGON APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE JUST TO SCREW WITH ME TOO

Was having trouble enough dealing with those things I was supposed to deal with, compounded that I had this [redacted] dragon [redacted] with my [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]

Well, that's the running theme of Other M, really.  Samus has no Y-chromosome and is therefore less privileged than and fully bound to the authority of those who do have a Y-chromosome.  If Other M gets a direct sequel (especially if Team Ninja takes the reigns on such a project), I'm sure the opening cutscene will involve her getting a "GET BACK TO THE KITCHEN!" button installed in the back of her skull.

i looked on mantis and found the issue i had been having with render to texture has been resolved, i can now resume work on the cockpit script. to that end i decided to re-rig my test models for dae export. seems for some reason they were rigged for the old max exporter which explains why i had trouble exporting them. at some point i indend to merge the content into nukemod, hopefully in a less than intrusive way so that it can run with or without the script. hopefully i can start exploiting new features that i havent been allowed to touch because of a whole slew of compatibility issues (last build the script worked well on was 3.6.12, so there are buttloads of issues reguardless).

2 models have recieved the max+collada treatment thus far, in addition to the htl seker which is actually a fairly recent production. so 3 down, about 17 more to go. throw on remaining htl jobs, loding of everything (im just going to cheat and have max do it for me) and its more work than i can possibly ever finish. i at least want to get the pirate fleet fully functional and working at least that makes a good stand alone pack cause the ships follow the same design paradigm.

things i want to do is improve my adv sensor code. make laser designator a little more intelegent, like not requiring a manual switch to turn it on, il just have it on automatically when a laser guided weapon is both selected and has ammo. same goes with multitargeting weapons. i also want to seporate it from the radar system, as of now a certain radar must be used for multitargeting to work, and i kinda want the radars targeting agnostic. they will of course display the special blip overlays that indicate a multitargeted object.  this should eliminate unnecessary kb commands. command reduction is a huge goal actually. like setting your main view to a turret or a missile should give you control of that object automatically. setting it to a cockpit monitor should just show you what the object is doing and not give any interaction at all. i want to make the script let the ship be taken over by ai while you play with those features, so that if ai si active you can aim turrets and fly guided drones (remote or laser) would like to see a mission in the back seat where flying is not your job.

also want to add support for alternat input solutions, right now hackish 6-axis hotas mode various mouse modes are doable with the script. i want to do some hybrid ship-turret-view control meathods as well. like freespacelancer mouse mode (control ship+turret), airquake mode (control view, turret and ship try to lign up with it), possibly joystick implementations of these as well. i also want to enhace freelook features for the masses without special hardware, keylook and mouselook are somewhat possible now, though the implementation could use some work. problem is the modes are not mutually compatable, there is only one mouse and if you dont have a joystick, it would be bad to use it for freelook, keylook works but takes up a lot of keyboard real estate, which freespace has pretty much eaten up by itself. toggles are about the only thing i can do in those cases. using 6 axis mode kinda steals the mouse axes thoug (you need to configure your 5th and 6th hotas to have a fake mouse), so it will be a tossup between lateral and vertical thruster control, and freelook control, again a toggle key will fill this role. definitely am looking forward to the pure sdl input code in the pipeline. hopefully this will open up more axes so i can use them isntead of the mouse.

other things, like the guage system, will allow fake tables to let you place scripted gauges (of which i havent done many) at various places in the texture and those areas would coincide with areas uv mapped in the cockpit model. more render to texture features like mirrors. also somewhat intrested in stereo mode as well, where cameras alternatively render from left/right eye positions. perhaps come up with a post shader to multiply alternative frames by red and blue and tweak the brightness for anaglyph, for me i just intend to use my old shutter glasses and a 120hz capable crt i keep in the closet. want to create an in game options menu, again theres code in the pipe for that, but i will use nukui as an interim solution.

some new rtt features, mirrors will soon be possible. they will behave like mirrors, if you move your head, you can kind of see more of whats behind you. some more optimizations, not rendering textures if you are not looking at them, this will come in handy for another feature in my pipe (bridge simulation!). get close enough to a panel and you can interact with it doom 3 style. if this panel is weapon systems, you can aim turrets, if its helm you can steer. not sure what im going to do for character animation though. my 2d floorplan engine should mesh into the game just fine. you can define polygons, connect them, different polies can have different heights it will act kinda like doom sectors. you will have an fps on a ship that is flying in a space sim. how badass is that?

**** how long was this post. tldr, a bunch of stuff i want to do and will complete about 2% of it by 2020.

You mean I can get up from the captains chair and run over to the gunners chair and shoot turrets and then get up and run back to the captains' chair and steer the ship some more... This works out right, and Aasing's Trek mod will be the greatest thing ever!

Hmmmmm... could this be used to do multiplayer co-op with capships? or... Oh, man, a mutiny mission where you have to retake the bridge in an fps and then pilot the ship into combat... oh man, my brain just exploded.

She's a bounty hunter yes, but still respects Adam. And no, she still somewhat takes orders from the Federation, and since it was their operation to begin with... she would have to comply in order to maintain her relation with the Federation

As for standing there when she saw Ridley, it's called PTSD. It was neat how they incorporated the emotional aspect related to when she was a child, showing that she is indeed affected by what Ridley did to her way back when

Exactly my point. Then again, we're also discussing game mechanics vs reality which never ends well (points to any Freespace physics thread)
It doesn't always make sense, it just is. Afterall, how does someone find a Unicorn that shoots explosive rainbow farts at people on Mars? Not only that, why do dead players in GTA IV still breathe? Why don't people ever get cold in games that involve snowy levels. Why isn't there a "My hand is ****ing numb, I can't reload properly" where he proceeds to fumble about with the clip only to drop it in the snow having to wipe it clean with bare hands. How does sexy sleep wear protect you from a lightsaber in Soul Calibur IV? How does no sexy sleep wear, let alone clothing, protect you from a lightsaber in Soul Calibur IV... why in Call of Duty can you heal yourself after taking dozens upon dozens of bullets? He isn't Chimera. He can't heal himself like that. Why do the psychos in Borderlands wear gas masks? Why are their eyes blue? Why can't the great leaders in Civ Revolutions speak bloody English. Why is there no radiation after dropping a nuke upon an unsuspecting tourist in Mercs 2? Why the hell do I have a toblerone on my desk? Why is there an empty coke bottle on the coaster?

first night working on my cockpit script was less than productive. i did manage to fix all the bugs with the test models and any other problems with the mod data and i commited it to svn. then i got into the game and started looking for bugs. having some transparemcy issues with gauge textures causing bleedthrough from whatever is behind them. it looks ugly but only affects 2d stuff. this is a case of a new feature that lacks a scripting implementation. when they added alpha support to render targets, they neglected to give scripting a function to set blending modes. it should blend alpha instead of write alpha.

second bug is rather annoying, none of the mini-huds are working. minihuds are supposed to be drawn onto the camera textures, but for some reason they are drawing to the screen on some frames. they flicker and get in the way of gauges that are supposed to be on the hud, which gets very annoying. it also means i dont have any mini huds for turrets and probably not for guided missiles either. it also kinda sucks not having a crosshair for sniper scopes, which is making distance shooting with the howitzer rather difficult.

the 3rd bug, my player controlled turrets also stopped working. the turrets turn but they do not fire in the direction they point. this is probably a good thing since the player control of turrets are in dire need of a re-write. they use the ancient meathod, and not m!m's elegant new solution. i just dont know the proper usage of that system and the script he posted was stolen by a ninja. so much for learning by example. probably will need to figure that one out by reading a lot of engine code.

bugs found: 3
bugs fixed:  0

6 hours wasted.

You may have missed my point. Her "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" did not kick in when she fought him in Metroid/Zero Mission, Metroid Prime, and Super Metroid. Zero Mission and Super Metroid might can be dismissed because they are 2D games. You might be right, though, because she does just stand there the first time she sees Meta Ridley in Prime.

In Prime, missiles are stored as energy.

Compound on the engagement in Super Metroid, her recent loss of a "child", and you have an emotionally fragile person encountering what is supposed to be a dead nemesis.

Whereas she's encountered her supposedly dead nemesis before this and still subsequent to his first death.  You know what she did then?  She paused for about five seconds, and then hopped in her gunships and did her damnedest to hunt him down.

Yeah, Other M is a colossal out of character game for Samus.

Ridley never died officially until Super Metroid. Considering there are no games in between Super Metroid and Other M, I do not know to what you refer as "before". Furthermore, she wasn't emotionally distraught during any other encounters until Other M. Not only that, but there is very little to go off of based on character in relation to the games, so how can you say "out of character" when there isn't a firm basis to make that statement?

Considering that all the in-game stuff on Ridley (and I do mean all of it) in Metroid Prime indicates that he was dead and they ressurected him, and additionally that he's actually called Meta-Ridley, I'm pretty damn certain that he's died before then.

At the very least, died to the same extent as in any other game he dies in, considering he "dies" several times up until that point.

Basically, I don't buy the bull**** that Super Metroid's Ridley death was anything more significant than the other three.

My computer gave me a heart attack tonight.  Was playing UFO:Aftermath when the the whole thing locked solid with corrupted graphics.  did a hard reboot and the dam thing locked on identifying the graphics card, A restart later it makes it to windows and dies again, so I pull everything and reconnect the power and monitor the monitor, try again, boots ok so I plug in the USB keyboard and mouse and the thing locks.  open the side panel looks around, powers it up again, all fans spinning except I notice the second fan on the PSU is looking a little limp but i have no reason to think its a problem as its a long running thing.  Starts thinking to myself great, hopefully just a software issue otherwise I am screwed because I cant afford to replace anything hence the 7is yr old tech in there.  couple of hours later as i think about going to bed i power it up again and all seems well, hopefully it's just an overheat so ripping all the fans and heat sinks where possible tomorrow and giving them a good shake and hoover to make sure they all working properly, well CPU fan will stay in place if I cant find my tube of thermal compound.

Similar thing happened to my desktop over Christmas, had to pull the CMOS battery before it started to behave again. Of course after the initial graphic corruption and crash, it got to the point where it refused to even show the bios boot screen, so mine seems a bit different.

I'm reading up on the workbooks issued to Officer Cadets in the Army Reserve on the topic of Military History that I found by accident (whilst generally studying for the role).

Quote
Explain the importance of resupply to both the Australians and Japanese during the Kokoda campaign.  How did each seek to maintain and sustain their combat force?  Comment on the impact of this on the tactical planning by the respective commanders.  What efforts were made to interdict the logistic chain of the opposing force?  Comment on this aspect of the campaign.  Ensure you refer to the Principles of War (particularly with regard to logistics).

Learned a bunch also about the 39th Battalion's operations in Kokoda against the Japanese under the command of Lt. Col. Owen. I am ****ing glad I put down for the Royal Military College.

well i collada rigged another one of my ships. as opposed to working the bugs out of actual scripts. seems i did a partial max conversion as it had its smoothing already fixed as if it was converted with a model converter compiled sometime after 2005 (a lot of my old models have bad smoothing simply because i didnt trust the version of pcs2 that was out at the time i converted them).

let me point out how poorly pcs2's autogen features are documented. exporting pof to dae doesnt work very well either, data are ejected, for example every ship i try to extract helpers from is missing one of them out of every group. theres always a thruster or gunpoint missing from every bank as if somone started counting at 1 instead of zero. id fix some of those bugs myself if i could just compile the damn thing. there are some annoyances, like turrets never autogen properly, probibly some obscure naming convention im not adhearing to. i mean it works somewhat, the gunpoint is in the general location of where it should be. exporting helper rotations as normals seems to only somewhat work. guns always have to be rotated to -90 on the x axis for them to point in the right direction, you would think engines need to be rotated to +90, and that assumption would be completely wrong, you need to rotate them to 180 on the x. all x coords will be wrong so if your rotating on the y axis, rotate in the opposite direction than your think you should. side rant aside i got most stuff working so i wont need to save old versions of pof files anymore.

side rant aside i got most stuff working so i wont need to save old versions of pof files anymore. there are still things that absolutely need to be done in pcs2. in a perfect world all id have to do is export my max scene as a dae and compile, all properties bieng filled in in their respective places automagically. and would it hurt to have pcs2 run its moi calculator automatically after import. k im done pcs2 ranting, at least it aint freespace mod manager, or a hex editor (those were the days). i rigged it for my cockpit script as well. all the panels have had overlays added for rtt. i really need to look into a system that uses the new cockpit meathod, though i suspect it would be harder to animate geometry. perhaps just render models at preset spots. i need to come up with a way to disable those submodels most of the time unless a script tells it ok use it. i tried multiple instances of invisible in the texture list (my script should support replacement by texture number but it doesnt seem to work), which would be the optimal solution. what i need is some kind of a $disabled_by_default subsystem property. so another day of accomplishing practically nothing.

I deferred to preventing myself from doing those crazy voice changes that their lead singer does, and therefore, I'm keeping it low for the buildup of the song, and when the second part rolls around, bring in a guest vocalist who happens to be a girl who is a trained vocalist who can blow my voice out of the ****ing water, while I sing backup.

Also, I love Incubus, so apology unnecessary :D

I finally got a lead on the mysterious no-material terrain bug I've been getting in my destructible terrain program! It turns out it's happening because my "Smooth Surface" brush code can turn non-solid nodes into solid ones, and any non-solid node has a degenerate MultiMaterial struct.

I'm still not sure how I'm going to fix it, though.

Okay, I'll admit it wasn't as awesome as in story wise and gameplay wise. I was confused all the way through, but I was suprised about Thalia Kael. Commander William Guage freaked me out. And Brackman was being a backstabber! Dam fool. Kinda wished QAI made an apperance. I also wished Crusader Rhiza would somehow make an apperance. I'm surprised the Illiminate didn't chose another Princess after Burke sacrficed herself. Ah well.

Eh. Just don't mention it again and we'll be fine. If SupCom 3 comes out and proves to be even worse we can both hate on it for further tainting the legacy of a great game.

I actually liked some of SupCom 2's ideas - it's just that they were so terribly implemented that it ended up doing nothing much in the end. Don't even get me started on the plot. While I acknowledge RTSe's don't really tend to have excellent storylines (except Homeworld :P) SupCom 2 was especially terrible.

what is so bad about SupCom2? I have played SupCom 1 and FA and quite liked them (But as a consequence, now have difficulty getting into TA).

Also... Are those chinese girls one can apperently chat with by clicking only for me for some reason, or is it a big "Karajorma was here" thing?

Post by: FireSpawn on January 13, 2012, 06:22:22 am
Missed college today due to my Mum letting the dog into my room last night while I was asleep. The damn thing jumped on my chest, then got one of its toys that makes a god-awful racket and started to try and burry it in my sternum at round about three in the morning. I got to sleep after a few hours and then promptly slept through my alarm at 07:00.

THEN when I wake up, she tries to guilt me into helping her babysit my neice and nephew (read: Do all the work while she sits there drinking tea, watching t.v. and doing the occasional nappy change) by saying that I didn't go to college today, and that she can't cope on her own. She was going to do by herself it while I was at college anyway.  :banghead:

After I tell her that I wasn't going to do it, she tries lying to my gran who's recovering from surgery, by saying that I told her I was going to help and got her to call me so that I can take a pot of paint up to my brother's place with Mum. I told her I was't going and why. Guilt attempt 2: Failure

My Mum then tries to dump my Gran's shopping list on me. I tell her that I don't know where less than half the things on the list where and that it was her task in the first place, so she has to do it. Guilt 3: Failed

Then just before she left and after a wave of profanity and insults, she told me I was going to "Live to regret this".  :doubt:
I regret few things, and have little in the way of objects that are irreplaceable compared to what's on my computer. She knows this, so I assume that she has made the hardrives for my Xbox360 and PC her targets, college work on the PC be damned.  So to err on the side of caution, I'm going to disconnect them and hide them somewhere for a while.

The funny thing is that I do the most for her regarding things like this. I help her with the shopping when I should be studying. I do running about for her that she can easily do herself. And I'm the one that has to put up with her *****ing and whining when something pisses her off.

The wonders of the "Human Condition", eh?  :nono:

There is only one Dune game, and that is Dune II, progenitor of the RTS genre. Dosbox + abandonware sites that I won't link because of potential future SOPA/PIPA issues and you're good to go.

I lived in a generation where 420 is a commonly known thing
I didn't know about it until after I moved cities seven years ago. When someone asked me about 420, I just figured April 20th, nothing fancy.
He got all up in the air going "Dude this guy doesn't know about 420!"

I live under a rock, in a rock, underneath the sea where there's a ship dumping rocks on top of the rock I already live under. Did I also mention there's quicksand bringing me deeper under the surface to more rocks?

I don't fit in anywhere to say the least

That example just means you're not a stoner. Plenty of people aren't. Many of them totally dig Dune. Seriously. You mentioned living in a city, so there's going to be a public library within an hours' round-trip travel of your current physical location. Go there and obtain Frank Herbert's original 1965 novel Dune. Read it. Come back here when you're through the first big awesome crazy battle of awesomeness and lasguns and teeth. (The tooooooooth!)

I don't understand why everyone was so butt hurt about this game. It was fun to play, had a decent length campaign (by today's standards anyhow) with always fun extra's
Then again, seems to be a common trend by people who buy Volition games to be completely butt hurt about the games that come out. Saints Row 3? I stopped by the forums for it once. Couldn't stand the amount of threads saying "WHY YOU DO THIS WHY YOU TAKE AWAY THIS

Make yourself a memtest USB, boot from it, and in next to no time, you'll have either confirmed or ruled out RAM issues.

Spent some time birdwatching.  Almost photographed an Eagle but it flew off just as I got the camera ready. D:

Did catch a Western Blue Jay (Steller's Jay) though!  He's cute. :3

The low tonight is 5ºF (-15ºC).

According to Randall Munroe's handy metric scale conversion chart (http://xkcd.com/526/), that's right between "cold day (Moscow)" and "************cold".

At least the high is supposed to be 34ºF (1ºC), or just above "snow!" on the chart, although after the snow from a few months ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Halloween_nor%27easter), my taste for snow has kind of evaporated.

Well, my transsexual friend's (she sees herself as a man) ex-boyfriend (who started dating her after she identified herself as a man) knocked at my house this afternoon. That in itself is not all that strange due to me getting on quite well with my friends partners, no what was strange was that I've met the guy twice before today. Both times for only a few hours.
Add on the fact of how they broke up and both enjoy revenge as a regular accompaniment with their meals, it left me feeling....wary around him.

So due to the still unrevealed reasons the guy turned up at my house, I reverted to ye olde 'Ensure that they know you're not gay by repeatedly directing the conversations to how great breasts are' tactic and if they brought up the "If you were..." question, answer with "Chuck Norris and Garrus Vakarian" as a full spectrum deffence.

I got rid of the guy after a while, but it still wasn't soon enough to stop me for fearing for my rear.

Now I'm off to go watch lesbian porn and play Gratuitous Space Battles.

It would be if I was to do it in a situation that had no real need for it, but the vibes this guy was giving off put me on guard. Granted I exaggerate, but I did drop some unsubtle cues that I preferred the company of those of the opposite sex and that any advances he may have been thinking of making would have just been a waste of time and cause him embarrassment.

Constantly flicking/otherwise playing with his hair and trying to catch my attention, trying to physically move closer to my person, the fact that he'd already knocked at the door twice before and yet had no real reason prepared as to why he was here, and he just made me feel uncomfortable overall. I mean , I knew the guy for a combined time of about six hours, then he breaks up with my friend then starts knocking at my house. I'm sure he has friends he knows better than me, and I don't believe in coincidences such as this one, especially when he lives about an hours walk away from my house.

There was no appropriate point in the conversation to say it. You can't exactly go from talking about the final episode of Sherlock and suddenly say "I'm not gay, just so you know."
By simply using a few statements and an exclamation on how my best friend's older sister is a milf, I made the same point without embarrassing him or making it more awkward than it already was.

there's really no appropriate point to hit on a guy you don't know is gay either.  you can say it without sounding like a dick.  might be awkward, but since you barely know the guy would that really matter that much?

And also considering that you (understandably) wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible, especially given the weird circumstances in which he showed up at your door.

I also would have suggested being direct, something like "You know I'm straight, right?" assuming that you really thought he was coming on to you.

now the only issue is are the burned out pins the cause of the intermittent crashes or a symptom of something drawing too much power?  shining my torch over the mobo side of the connection there looks to be some light staining on the plastic but the metal components look fine, so I am wondering if the connections between the wire and the pins came loose within those sleeves making this a cheep fix to replace the PSU.

Staff Appreciation dinner was great. The meal was excellent
Apart from that, much like me when I'm working, I simply sat about doing nothing until speeches/awards came by (filled by the odd conversation here and there instigated by other people)
Had two free girly drinks, one provided to me, the other I asked for as I was desiring something strawberry
And some bourbon

I've been going to the beach a lot lately down here, t'is rather good but half the time I end up going in on off days. :P

As for fun things, in no particular order:

- Organize and attend social outings. Every so often these go hilariously askew and my day's made with a good laugh.
- Go out with the girlfriend.
- Play flight sim, or better yet, go down to the local airport and go for a fly.
- Read about aviation, the military, or both.
- Go to the gym.

In other news, though, I had a wonderful young bloke try and fight me at the train station because I was 'staring' at him and the lad had had a bad day at work. After questioning myself on the train as to why the hell I don't wear baggy tracksuits with 59Fifty caps in conjunction with at least half a dozen other guys whenever I leave the house anymore (:P), I realised that maybe I should've just said sorry and be done with it.

-Amateur astronomy and astrophotography
-Lucid Dreaming  (The real **** like Paprika (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJzEW_eE1G0&feature=related), not the fake **** like Inception, though it was still a pretty good movie)
-Entheogens ('specially when coupled with dreaming)

For eight hours a day, I have a speaker strapped to my left ear, usually with someone shouting from the other end of the phone line through it.  Somehow though, tonight, it's my right ear ringing to the point of uselessness.  My hope is that this means that the bones of my middle ear are fusing, so that when I do lose all sense of hearing in one or both ears, my employer will have to reasonably accomodate me by finding something for me to do, besides taking calls.

Took the opportunity today to enjoy some damn-near perfect driving conditions in the mountains today.  My new tires clearly came with excess tread that needed to be burned off.  I also found the strip of tarmac used for local hillclimb events.  It's a pretty nice stretch of road, but there's a lot of crap left over from autumn that still needs to be washed off the pavement by the coming spring storms.

Had a moment of "I am mildly awesome!" in the last hour. Found two old 17" 4:3 LCD screens of the same model. One had a shot power supply. The other had a dead backlight. Cobbled the two together, and got one working screen..... almost. I must have a wire in backwards, because it does work, but gives weird issues with green static in dark areas/gradients.

So now to pull it back apart and play with some wires. But probably not tonight. For now, it works fine as a secondary screen/linux box screen.

EDIT: Or not. Seems to have stopped being weird. Possibly a side effect of the fact that they were sitting outside in -10 C weather.  :p

I almost never get sick, but then again I'm pretty reclusive.  I'm pretty sure it's just a ****ing nasty strain -- this one's making its rounds and everyone whose had it says pretty much exactly the same thing.  Thankfully it only lasts a day or two.

Speaking of the sick and the dreams, last night was ****ing awesome.  My legs were ice cubes despite being wrapped in 6 blankets by a fire.  Spent 15 hours in a total daze, couldn't keep a simple train of thought going for more than 2 seconds without it dissolving into complete gibberish, and every time I closed my eyes I'd hallucinate like I was on a **** ton of bad shrooms.  I remember being in a movie in which I was falling into the sun, being attacked by deep-sea nightmare fish, my body being horribly invaded by nightmare jungle bugs, and starting first day of semester going to work out in the gym which turned out to be a sweet glowstick rave party.

That's happened to me before too. I've know I've woken up before to find my jaw shaking and I can't make it stop and I can't move at all. And I'm really really cold. That's happened on more than one occasion. Somehow I managed to regain control of my body each time through sheer willpower alone.

I'm drunk, so I'm in no condition to go to bed at the moment. Has always been a bit of a problem, I'm just not capable of passing out drunk. I have to wait until I sober up enough to lay down otherwise my head just starts spinning and I end up feeling sick. Funny how that works, neither one of my brothers have ever had a problem going to sleep hamered. Had fun tonight, probably danced like a moron of that I'm sure, though to my credit I can dance better than most dudes in my area. That's at least what my sober female friends tell me any ways, they could be lying though. God I hate getting old.

Not gonna happen Chief. Besides, are you denying that Chuck Norris, Garrus Vakarian and Pen2 are not the three prime examples of what a man should aspire to?

*SpaceTime tearing kicks.

*The ability to calibrate anything so well that it needs a cigarette afterwards.

*And the ability to drink more beer than Dekker while still retaining the cognative power to get the **** out of dodge just before everthing goes to Tang.


Because if you are denying these facts, I will be forced to send out the 'Reclaimers' to seize your 'Y' chromosomes and replace them with the more aptly placed 'X' ones.

An overrated Republican mouthpiece stupid enough to endorse Newt Gingrich and oppose lesbian porn, a sniper with serious authority issues who likes stacking other issues on top of his existing issues, and a hotsprings penguin.

Versus a man who survived the worst battle of his time, made the greatest scientific discovery of his time, all but won the greatest war of his time singlehanded, and found the women available to him so unsatisfying he had to travel to an alternate universe to get enough sex. And he talked down to gods. And they listened.

Yeah.

That's not a real man NGTM
A real man isn't fictional

Therefore Firespawn (as misguided as his choices are) has more a valid point than you


Semantics aside, yours isn't a real man. A real man is John Marston. He did what had to be done for his family
And what had to be done is eliminate a massive gang, play a pivotal role in a revolution, and fight regardless of how grim the situation looked

That's a far better person to idolize

That's impressive and all, but Picard stands as proof that, in the Star Trek universe, somewhere between the twenty-first and twenty-fourth centuries, the French got dominated so hard by the British that almost every aspect of their culture, right down to that obnoxious accent, was eradicated.  Sisko may have won a war, but Picard taught me that the future is bright.

The youngest of my brothers (younger than Dekker, older than me) is being a dramatic little ***** again, swearing at our Mum and wishing us all dead. Then, when I went downstairs to look for my mum's mobile phone, he calls me into the living room, and proceeds to swear at me and call me what surmises to be a waste of space and drain on the household. All without provocation from me and with me attempting to be civil.....Up until I told him to shut up and not talk to me like **** on the bottom of his shoe, otherwise I'd knock him out.

Never.  :banghead:

EVER  :banghead:

Has fratricide looked as appealing as it does now. :mad:

I just broke up with the girlfriend. She was a year younger and we were arguing a bit over the consequences of me being at University and her finishing Year 12 an basically decided that in light of a few things that have happened, and in addition to the odd circumstances of one of us being in school and the other uni-ing it that it was best to break up. Was an excellent 9 months.

I meant that after the results of that discussion that it was basically agreed upon that it would be nigh on impossible to keep it going with the new circumstances. But yes, exactly what Dekker said. Do you think I'm going to give some people on the internet a full essay and a half on the dynamic of my relationship? (Although it's rather ironic that I've said that in a thread where the goings on of our lives are the go). If seeing each other only once a week was what two people would break up over after being together for three quarters of a year, then that was either a massively uneventful 9 months or host to a bunch of stuff that I'm not willing to share.

A year ago today, my best friend decided we couldn't be friends anymore (the reasons are complicated). His birthday was a few weeks ago, so I sent him a "happy birthday" message then. He replied a couple weeks later and said thanks, he's not really ready to talk again but hopes I'm doing well. I guess that suggests I might hear from him again someday, but for all practical purposes, he's gone. So it goes. :blah:

ive never bothered to attempt a cheese cake. ingredients for that usually fall way out of my price range. my cinnamon rolls are probably the most complicated recipe i ever bother with but they are as epic as they are time consuming to make.

A year ago today, my best friend decided we couldn't be friends anymore (the reasons are complicated). His birthday was a few weeks ago, so I sent him a "happy birthday" message then. He replied a couple weeks later and said thanks, he's not really ready to talk again but hopes I'm doing well. I guess that suggests I might hear from him again someday, but for all practical purposes, he's gone. So it goes. :blah:

Ah **** who am I kidding :(
That's rough, buddy. :(

Anyway, I bought some paint this morning as well as picked up my suit for my Army interview on the Tuesday morning. Have put some paint to a bit of use on my model Stuka and am looking forward to putting in some solid work after my half hour run tonight.

Return it, say there's an odd rattling, move on

i cant just go to the store and buy something i want. if you buy anything locally it will both cost a fortune and not be very good at all. so i got to order it sight unseen. to make matters worse most online electronics and computer stores like to ship through a shipping company instead of through the postal service. and unlike the postal service the shipping companies gouge the **** out of us. shipping for something relatively small like a motherboard will cost between $30 and $50, and i seldom spend over $175 for a mobo. reguardless by the time you get something shipped here your already out a lot of money. if anything is wrong and you got to pay to ship it back to get it replaced youre already ****ed. then some places like to charge you fees, like newegg charges a 15% restocking fee. quite frankly if you get a defective mobo, its going to cost you just as much to get them to replace it than it would to just buy another one from someone else. warranties dont do me a ****s worth of good.

Read lots of reviews about the product in question and ***** at the company if it's defective. I've only paid return shipping to Newegg once: every other time, it's been paid for me and the restocking fee was waived.

Just out of my first lecture for one of my final semester courses, Wildlife Management And Conservation: Concepts and Practices (A lot about modelling and stuff), one of our assignments for this course is to debate a controversial issue in Conservation with a partner. This is one of the few 4th year courses that 3rd years can elect to take as well, and I've just been partnered with one of two third years in the class, a cute English girl called Maria (I say partnered, the partnering is voluntary but we were both waiting to talk to the professor [Another cute woman >.>] about certain things, were talking whilst we waited and then I let her go ahead to talk to the Professor first when the others had finished, and the Prof pointed out that whilst she may not know anyone, she had just spent the past ten minutes talking to me. And a partnership was born)

So, could be fun.

Don't worry there dude, that is a lesson I learned VERY quickly in my teen years, and now that I'm out of my previous relationship, I have the chance to get back into practice.

I never did figure out that "zone" stuff, not that I ever had enough friends to get much experience with it.  I was probably there with my one friend from college, but that's a whole other thing.

Had my first job interview ever last week, thought I presented myself reasonably well...and got shot down in an e-mail today.  Seriously, **** the world.

Clearly she isn't a guy. The friends zone of a girl you like is only great if she's one of the few girls who will actually go out with a friend (Like my ex)

No ****  :lol:

Just be sure to move fast before the friendship barrier manifests, nothing is worse than being cockblocked by yourself for being a nice guy.

The friend zone is an invention of idiots, like this guy here. :p

Why? Because she's a girl? If I recall, that's the perfect position to say something about it. It's always guys giving perspectives on guy things, so you can see the bias in that
Add a girl perspective in there and it's all "She knows nothing of our plight"
Considering this is a friendzone with a girl, a girls opinion on this 'friendzone' is a viable position to comment about it. Debating the trivial aside, friendzone or not, I have neither

Also congrats Dilmah!

Wait. Those games actually have endings? I thought the Mario system used a really clever way of procedural generation so that you have infinite "The princess is in another castle" situations and just keep on playing for the highscore.

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It aint NEVER Over FOOL!!!!
Post by: Mars on January 31, 2012, 05:27:14 pm
Today I had the day off. It was all well and calming until I heard visceral screaming (from one of my roommates, a man married to another roommate).

"I'm leaving!" he roared.

 I walked out over a pile of his cloths and started smoking a cigarette. I was about three quarters of the way through when more screaming reverberated around the apartment complex. I'm not legally on the lease, and would be kicked out if the police were to come interview about a domestic dispute, so I walked back in to the living-room and kitchen area, and up to the screaming roommate.

"I don't know what's going on, but screaming like that will only make it worse," I told him

"Yeah you're right man, Kayla and I are gonna need to separate for a while I think. . . things aren't working out right now."

"Well, that's fine and everything, but, as hard as it is, I'm going to need you to keep it down in here. . . do you need bus passes or anything?"

"Do you have any of the two dollar ones?" I rushed to grab them from my bedroom "Thanks man."

"Are you okay? Do you need a drink?" I asked the female roommate "Do you need a drink or anything?"

"An alcoholic drink? No, I'm fine" she replied, smoking a cigarette un-self-consciously in an apartment where no one had smoked inside for over a year.

She left in the car, leaving me with my screaming roommate. I poured myself a stiff collins, and sipped it for the rest of the conversation.

"She's hateful man. . . real hateful." He said, grabbing his things and compacting them into a backpack.

I did not recognize the woman he was talking about as my other roommate, so I simply sipped.

"It's like there's nothing I can do right man"

I thought of the cliche: "hell hath no fury. . ."

"I just can't take it anymore. . . she won't give me her number or anything"

"Is there anything I can do?" I thought for a second, popped off, and brought two packs of cigarettes, and handed them to him.

"Oh, thanks man. . . can you give me your number too? And could you hide this from Kayla?" He handed me his art portfolio, which was indeed very impressive. "She took my tattoo gun, can you believe that?"

I could not, but I didn't say so, I let his emotions fill in the silence. I silently wrote my number, in an effort that, if I admitted it, was mostly to get him out of the apartment.

"Thanks dude," he said, finishing packing at last.

"Good luck," I murmured, and rather meant it. Colorado cold rarely kills, but it can, and the winter months are not yet over.

He left in a puff of hormones and animal instinct, and I retired to my room to attempt to loosen my rattled brain and lose myself to a strategy game, blowing up delicate alien ships rather than thinking about the situation. Within fifteen minutes this relaxation was lost, my phone rang rancorously into my private world.

"Hey dude, it's Shea. . . do you think you could give me Kayla's number. . ."

What should I have done?

depends, short version is do you want to get in the middle and how well you truly know the situation? giving her number should ultimately be her decision so giving it to him could be very risky to your friendship with her.

Play-Asia's bugging me. I don't know if the game I ordered is sold out (therefore delaying my shipment until they get more in) or if I just bought the last copy and it hasn't shipped yet. The wording on their site is ambiguous.

I could alter my order and purchase a different version of the game which is in stock, but that would be an additional $15, so I'd rather avoid that if possible.

Take the Mexi Cake, put it on top of the cookie, take two scoops of icecream and place it on the cake. Top it all off with whipping cream, and serve

I got out of my chair-behind-the-MacBook to celebrate my birthday an hour and a half ago. I wasn't expecting anything much, just a big slice of cake to go down with the rice I ate five hours ago, and maybe a bit of extra cash. Mind you, if I had that, I would be happy enough to sleep the night through peacefully.

What I got instead was this:

- A huge slice of mango cake
- A Nintendo DS Lite
- Pokemon HeartGold
- A Nintendo DSi protector
- A thick, high-quality purple book with lines in it for writing stuff
- Three sleeveless shirts
- Some extra cash

Well, that was quite a bit more than I was hoping I would get, but I'm still happy.

How many pictures of the inside of my room do you want? :p

Also I didn't know you played Spiral Knights.  I've been more infrequent recently, but I want to get a bit more active and finally work my way up to 5-star stuff.

Playing around with a DSLR camera (Canon Rebel XT) and photo-editing software.  Made a wonky image of some otherwise boring leaves... sort of looks like a mixture of photograph and oil painting. :3

That would be me, but I decided to go out and grab myself Apocalypse Now for five bucks
I'm surprised few have commented on that coffee though

I don't know, go out to buy something and document your trip or something
Who knows. Maybe a security guard will order you to delete **** he has no power to have you delete

Also, who are you on Spiral Knights? Could do some runs with a fellow HLP guy

EDIT: Nice picture you've got there wat

I got out of my chair-behind-the-MacBook to celebrate my birthday an hour and a half ago. I wasn't expecting anything much, just a big slice of cake to go down with the rice I ate five hours ago, and maybe a bit of extra cash. Mind you, if I had that, I would be happy enough to sleep the night through peacefully.

What I got instead was this:

- A huge slice of mango cake
- A Nintendo DS Lite
- Pokemon HeartGold
- A Nintendo DSi protector
- A thick, high-quality purple book with lines in it for writing stuff
- Three sleeveless shirts
- Some extra cash

Well, that was quite a bit more than I was hoping I would get, but I'm still happy.
Happy birthday, Andro!

Decided to branch out a bit in League of Legends, get away from Ezreal.

Tried playing as Annie and then Cho'Gath. Both ended in victory.

Annie's... hard hitting, but damn her voice is irritating. I also realized once the game started I had NO idea what items to build.  :rolleyes:

Screwed up a bit as Cho. Not used to playing slow damage sponges. Overestimated my health a few times and died thrice to utterly stupid circumstances. I do find Cho'Gath and his vocalizations amusing though.

Still got around 8 kills though, and nearly twice as many assists. So overall I call it a win.

Compositing them, yeah, but for a slightly different reason.  Deep-sky objects (galaxies, nebulae, etc) have very low surface brightness and thus require very long exposure times (minutes to hours!) to collect enough data.  Many of these objects also have too much contrast between the brightest and faintest areas (high dynamic range), so a single shot won't properly expose the whole thing.  The Andromeda Galaxy is a classic example of this, where a single shot will either only record the intensely bright core while leaving the fainter surrounding disk mostly unexposed, or it will record the disk while the core is over-exposed.  Combining several images with different exposure times can help bring out all the details without over/under exposing anything.

In my case I'm photographing planets and the moon, which requires a different strategy.  These objects have much higher surface brightness, and the dynamic range is usually low enough, such that a very quick shot (a few 1/100ths to 1/10ths of a second generally) will provide a proper exposure.  The problem then is the magnification required.  The planets have much smaller angular sizes than most galaxies and nebulae, so to get any surface detail you have to use very high magnification, at which point the blurring effects of the atmospheric turbulence wreak havoc on the image quality.  It's like looking through water or heat haze sometimes.  Taking hundreds or even thousands of images very rapidly, then selecting and combining the best ones, can help counteract this turbulence and bring out the finer details -- at least to a certain extent.  Nothing beats adaptive optics or space-based telescopes!

Damn, I hope you're doing okay now. As for moderation, I do try to keep my caffeine intake to a minimum without going crazy (drinking herbal tea instead of coffee, etc) on a daily basis, but on occasion this happens. Thankfully it's never quite as bad as when I first did it when I was redoing work for my GCSE science that got wiped by a disk format in the last weeks of year 11 and I had to pull almost two weeks of all nighters and having about 14 hours of sleep a week.  By the end I could quite clearly hear make out the thumping of the pulse in my head and breathing hurt. I also failed my Business GCSE because I fell asleep when I sat down on the ridiculously comfy chairs they had in the ICT block and woke up with 4 minutes left and I still hadn't written my name. Now I only consume just enough to mess with my sleep and give me a gut ache.

Also, good news! It was just indigestion.

It's equally beyond me how people can sit down to watch a 90-minute-long game that regularly ends in scoreless ties, but that's preferences for you. :p
And they aren't fun to watch, either. It's like hockey, but without fights or ice skates.

I'm actually not such a fan of Kendo. The teacher who took my 'tutor group' at school is the Captain of the State and perhaps even the National Kendo Team, as well as a Kendo instructor and following on from this, ran a small display with a fellow Kendo instructor at school during a multicultural day that was going on. I thought the whole thing looked a little camp...:P Although the Kendo clips on youtube paint a far more entertaining picture of the thing.

they should turn porn into a sport. people compete to see who can out**** eachother. it would be sort of like the olympics, but instead of races and other competitions it would be events such as speed ****ing (who attains the highest reciprocal frequency), sustained errection (who can ejaculate the most without loosing their boner), and who can cause the most orgasams in their partner in an allotted timeframe, women competing to see who has the largest anal capacity. it might make me at least partially interested in sports.

Just read the latest and first of the last four chapters of Negima, and I must say, it's a little sad. Ken Akamatsu has sure worked on the emotional aspect of his story telling. Although I have a feeling that no matter how it ends, I'm going to hate it (although that might be because I've spent the last nine years of my life reading it).

Still...I'm going to go out of my mind waiting for the last three chapters, and finding out WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON!

Nope, whilst there is the potential of that in my near future, it's simply because career stuff is really coming together - Such that I might be able to land basically my dream job fresh out of graduation - And that, my friends, is ****ing awesome. But the potential of nookie doesn't hurt at all.

Looking for roommates for a summer internship is oh so much fun. Now that I've been playing the game for a couple of months, I've come to realize that all that really matters about a roommate (to me, anyway) is that they're responsible and considerate. That's it. It doesn't matter whether we could be good friends, or have things to learn from one another, or even if we have any common interests, although those things might be nice.

Several of the other interns describe themselves as "chill" or "easy going". The problem with those words is that they don't tell me anything about whether they're responsible or considerate. In fact, in the case of the former, they suggest the exact opposite.

And over a week passing without a reply from a potential roommate when it's something that takes five minutes to answer suggests that they are neither responsible nor considerate. And this is someone who described themselves as "easy going". :sigh:

Also, because I couldn't resist, an excerpt from someone's self-description:

Fairly relaxed regarding who I could possible live with. As long as you are easy going, I think we can get along well
:wtf:

Relaxed yet effectively requiring a particular type?

I had a wonderful day off
I spent it waking up my usual time, doing my usual ****

Then I met up with a couple old friends where we then proceeded to drive to one of their houses. After waiting for a bit, we were joined by yet another person to which we followed to another persons house, meeting up with two more

Six total including myself

The entire point of it all? Drinking games. What game? Mario Party (N64) drinking games
It was awesome to watch to say the least, (I didn't participate in the game itself, just had rum on the rocks) and the outcome hilarious. I ended up just playing pool

Though, throughout the entire night, the one girl within the group kept doing that looking at me thing, then turning away when I looked upon her. I don't know what's up with that given the fact she's going out with the person she was sitting beside

Ah well.

It was a day well spent

Now I just want to smoke a cigar and drink some scotch


EDIT:
Forgot to respond to the above post. Ya, that seems contradictory alright.
What else do you expect from people though? Most people lack the ability to be descriptive enough about themselves hoping they'll get you on vagueness.

Any other hilarious excerpts? I mean, it's not like you're binded to their privacy
Well, okay, if you're being considerate sure...
But measure in the hilarity that we could get by reading some of this stuff...

Gundam Extreme Vs = epicness.

Having so many MS's to choose from is one thing (the ****ing Crossbones are in this game!), having combat similar to what's actually in the series is incredible, and then there's the fact that it has the original music tracks from the series... :shaking:

Yeah, totally worth importing.

Only problem is the whole thing's in Japanese. I know enough to navigate the menus, but I can't understand what the hints are it's giving me in the training missions. Having to figure it out via trial and error and looking at Gamefaqs.

Done the standard pre-excursion check in with everyone who was going to go to the convention with me, and only got one reply....saying that they were out. It was from the only girl coming with us (and whom I'd like to do many naughty things with).

Oh well, the convention is an over 18s thing with a bar open till midnight, so I'll just pull up a stool and keep an eye out. I've seen some of the girls that go to it, and let me tell you, most are quite pleasing to the eye.

Main Objective: Nail a nerdette

Bonus Objective: Nail two nerdettes

Bonus Objective #2: Stop trying (and failing)  to make it look like I'm not also a nerd.

In my class at college all the girls are at least three years younger than me, and 'rude' girls, and the rest of the female population isn't much to look at, to such a degree that I actually consider nerdy anime chicks a step up. So yes, I am somewhat.

i spent a whole day screwing around with lua for windows. i played with the iup library, toying with user interfaces, and i found an example for a gl canvas, which led me to look at the example code for luagl. so i get the idea to revamp my old lua version of nukesim. i scrounged a bunch of lua projects for code, and found almost a complete set of vector and matrix libraries, oop vertex and polygon "classes", which i had written for who knows what. i found a tga parser i wrote, for my flopped dirt gen utility, and a half written obj loader. so with a little work to get the libraries up and running, and an almost complete rewrite of my obj loader, a little bit of export in max, and i am now rendering a textured and lighted htl seker (though i doubt htl is on) in a stand alone lua script. tomorrow i might work on making it a little bit more interactive. add some physics, maybe some terrain, and possibly make a cheap flight sim thanks to a port of my atmospheric flight script.

The convention was absolutely epic!



Is what I've been told. I wouldn't actually know, seeing as at 9 o'clock this morning, right as I was about to jump in the shower my Nan's neighbor knocked on the front door (I live opposite) to tell us that there was a pillar of water spraying up in her garden. The cold morning had caused a split in the pipe.

Due to the stubborn incompetence of my mother (who instantly took possesion of the parts), what should have been an hour long fix at most, became a seven hour task.
I cut the pipe above the split, and prepared it for a 15mm compression cap-end, and when it doesn't fit, she instantly demands I go and get an 18mm one...that doesn't exist (or is at least stocked in the shops).
So, rather than enjoy myself watching anime and such, I'm walking all over the nearby shopping district and slipping on black ice while I look for a non existent piece of plumbing, because dear old mum decided to grab the tools and not let me attempt to make adjustments to what we already have.

My plan now? Eat something warm and sleep, there is still tomorrow. It's the gaming part of the expo though, so I'm not too sure if any of the girls attending will be worth the effort. Yes it sounds shallow, but I have some standards.

i spent all day working on my lua based game engine. i finally got everything working again but i dont have any new features to show for it. i should probibly sort my polygons to save the overhead of changing textures. speaking of which i dont have any sort of texture class. right now im using a tga loader that came with one of the examples. i have my own, but it doesnt format the data in the way gl expects, and frankly id rather use dds over tga, mainly because of lua's outrageous memory usage. i will of course write such a loader from scratch like i prefer to do.  reguardless i need a general system for loading and managing bitmaps. right now every polygon has a texture number, but these index into a local list of material names for that model. i figure the best way to deal with those is to, after model load, load and see if the material names are in some centralized material store, if not add them, and then re-map all the material ids to their corresponding indices in the bitmap store (either directly or through a mapping to the local material numbers).

i did actually add some features now that i think about it. i did add a bounding box and radius calculator, i cleaned up some of the tables (ommitted an unneccidary subtable in my vertex and polygon classes and stuck the data into the root table instead, since all the other data used named indices, does not affect length computation and so all iterators work fine), fixed my face normal computations, cleaned up vector classes, removed a bunch of poorly written constructors (i swapped the one constructor fits all paradigm, with one focusing instead on a fast constructor for every situation). il probibly need to change my matrix classes to column row order (opengl yay!), though im not using them yet.

The results of the metrosexual community modifying redneck attire for style. But really, it's actually too hot to wear anything but one of those or a shirt if you're brave some days here. Would actually be cooler in a sauna!  :shaking:

There's a girl from college who's a few years younger than me, and likes me. I'm currently speaking to her on facebook while looking at her pics. In half of them she looks pretty hot, but is wearing makeup and the such. The other half, she's not dolled up and looks...Not that pretty, to be as polite as I can.

I'd like to take her personality into consideration, but what little I do know of her is that she's incredibly shy, and I just don't the end product is worth the effort.  :nono:

I kinda like this being forced into the behaviour of established ritual: I bought a card for someone I really like. Normally, I wouldn't dare to show this kind of affection because I am shy as hell, but there you go :).

:) Got it a few days ago.

:pimp: It's atompunk, is it? There's three reasons I got that tube headphone amp. The first is my new headphones, Beyer DT-880 Premium's, are the 600-ohm variation. They're very hard for solid-state amps to drive, but are relatively easy for a tube amp. That MK IV has a power output of 500 mW at 600 ohms; the MK V is 187 mW and even the MK VII+ is 300 mW. The second is that the vacuum tubes sound warmer than solid-state--and I thought these headphones needed a little softening. Third is the price; $289 for a tube headphone amp that'll double as a tube preamp (when I get a worthy power amp). Single-source, but my primary source will continue to be the DAC.

Working with the following equation, desire a means of finding solutions analytically. :X

d2r/dt2 = -GM/r2; r'(0)=k.

(One dimensional equation of the distance as function of time of a test particle in the gravitational field of some point mass.)

In a moment of sheer derpiness, I tried multiplying by r2dt2 to get r2d2r = GMdt2 and integrating, then realized that meters4 does not equal meters3.  DERP!  (Also, meters to the fourth?  Is that like hyperspace?)
Anyway now I'm actually looking at the textbook to see if it discusses solution methods for this type of ****.  Nope.  Doesn't deal with 2nd order nonlinear ****.  This **** is definitely not linear.  And I don't know what sort of function has a second derivative of -constants/itselfsquared.  Definitely not polynomial... presumably something with estuff in it.  HNNNG.

Wolfram Alpha is nice, at least I can see the integral curves for this thing.  Yaaaaaay. (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=r%27%27%28t%29+%3D+-1%2Fr%28t%29^2%2C+r%27%280%29%3D0.9)

Hour break with a mate for coffee, then anime club 6 - 10. Walked the cute girl there home from there (back across to the other side of the city) and nearly missed the last bus back to where I live because of it. (Totes worth it though :) )

my game engine now knows how to tell time, oddly i had planned to work on making my console window dockable. funny how you never do the thing you planned. though this does lay the foundation for physics. i now have timestamps, frametime, and fps computation. should also keep track of paused time, but i need to add a pause mode for it to be useful. it was dificult because timing isnt something lua does well. its built-in os time functions are only accurate to a second. fortunately the socket module has a timing function proper, and i had planned to use that module for multiplayer anyway.

Last November my best friend told me that his father had went out to the woods (apparently hunting??) and even though it was late at night, he hadn't come back home yet.  A couple of days later he told me the bad news.  They found him in the woods the night my friend told me about this.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.  Upon this news my heart skipped a beat, fell, and landed with all the grace of a lump of burned oatmeal.

I sadly do not know how he felt through it, especially considering how the two were often getting in arguments, with a few times his father threatened to call the cops on him (?????).  I've lost loved ones before, but they were too distant for me to really feel the effect of their deaths, a fact which sometimes troubles me.

Just sharing because this reminded me of it.

Well....****.
My heart and thoughts go out to you guys.
And Dilmah, I hope your sister pulls through. Both from her physical injuries and mental ones. And I hope you pull through too. I can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling right now. Don't be affraid to ask for help, man.

Cheers, guys. :) Means a lot. I woke up this morning with the most sobering feeling of numbness. She's in the hospital ATM and last I heard before I fell asleep the Police suspected an overdose of something was involved. What exactly that was, I don't know, but I'm going to be optimistic and hope it was just aspirin (which she's abused before to burn the lining of an organ or two off). She apparently is okay, I don't know much more beyond what the Hospital let slip over the phone.

I don't know why she did it, there was some ongoing trouble obviously but we'd had a conversation that day and I thought that she was fine.  :(

At least the heart ache for me is on the upswing, my thoughts are with you, Flip. And I really do appreciate the people who expressed support, last time she attempted suicide was in the middle of my Year 12 final exams and I really had no one. Same goes for the time before that, and the time before that.

asprin is the worst thing to od on, i mean you got to take a lot of it. prescription painkillers are the best way to go and have killed more celebrities than i care to count. every time somone goes to the dentist they usually come back with pretty good drugs, which then get stockpiled and allocated to recreational use. off the shelf pills usually kills you with renal failure, not a fun way to go, but if the docs get ahold of you they will deny you your death.  3 boxes of sleeping pills couldnt kill be, but it did make me hallucinate something fierce, which was ****ing awesome. then i couldnt taste anything for a week after that. these days i think a bit o steel cable and a jump off a bridge will suit me best, and leave a hell of a mess for the others to clean up. there are also railroad tracks and shotguns which are foolproof. of course living in a part of the world with a total lack of bridges railroad tracks and the lack of a shotgun kinda limits my options but a diy drophang in the woods sounds feasible, i know the perfect place too. but i dont want to off myself these days ("things to do in hell" can wait), id deny the world somone who has the potential to be a serial killer. most serial killers start their careers in their 30s. not to be grim and all but if she went the off the shelf pills route shes probably totally fine.

Whilst most teenagers go through a difficult stage, which can actually often include thoughts of, or even half-hearted attempts at suicide, this sounds a lot more like a psychological issue that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible Dilmah, not only for her sake, but for yours also. Dare I say it, but it is selfish of her to hurt you like this, because it is not only her own life she is damaging, it is yours as well, especially when it is in the middle of your exams. It sounds like you have devoted a lot of time and effort on her behalf, and it is not unfair to ask for a little effort on her behalf in return.

Personally, I think this goes beyond a 'cry for help', especially if it has been attempted before, is there any way to talk to the hospital to ask if there are any other options open to you for helping her other than simply repairing the damage afterwards?

Either way, I am glad that things have, kind of, turned out ok, and hope your sister is feeling better soon.

Post by: Dilmah G on February 16, 2012, 10:15:07 pm
Well she's been going through psych's for the last 2 years now. Usually when this happens it's because she's been neglecting to take her medication, which is what I'm fairly sure happened this time. They actually said that she might be better by now, but whatever, I've heard that too many times for it to matter, haha.

I don't really know what the course of action is now - I don't have the information to make any suggestions for courses of action but once I do, you can bet that I will. **** this! This has happened too many times and I just feel like it's following a sine wave at the moment. The interviewers for my Army assessment day were so concerned by it that I'm fairly sure I was close to not being recommended to a selection board because of its effect on me and my commitments.

Good news is that she didn't OD on anything, bad news being that in exchange she apparently hasn't been eating for quite some time.

I have some professional training in suicide intervention, actually, (my high school had an intervention team, we all received ASIST training, story for another day) but most of the knowledge I have leans more towards the detecting and defusing of imminent risk and convincing them that they themselves wanted to live for something, and finding (and convincing them to go to) appropriate counselling.

As such, there's really not a whole lot I can suggest, but the one thing I can say is that, despite the obvious desire to do so as you're family and you're emotionally invested in her wellbeing, to try not to get too emotional when talking to her. For lack of a good example, you want her to live for herself or for reasons of her own discovery, not because she sees you getting emotional over the idea of her committing suicide. The goal is to guide her to something to live for, without throwing reasons in her face.


TL;DR: Help her piece things back together, don't just try to shove the pieces together and pour glue over it all, it'll just shatter again.

Take this whichever way you want, it's the internet after all. But just know my heart is with you. :(

In some ways yes, in some ways no. You get to say the things you wanted, but you also have to watch a living, vibrant, determined human-being turned into a shell of what they used to be. 'Fortunately', for illnesses such as this, it was a pretty fast decline, he did not, at least, linger in pain for month after month, but still, to see him in the final days is a painful thing to endure.

Without getting overly poetic, the fact that tomorrow morning, the Sun will rise and the world will get better in some ways and worse in others, and we need each other to tell the difference. I am my Father's son, it was on the cards from the day I was born, if it had been the other way round, that would have hurt my father far more. And because he worked and fought and endured to provide me with a life worth living, and I owe it to him to do exactly that with it :)

Flip: let your experiences temper you.

On a happier note, I love Entenmann's devil's food crumb donuts. One of my favorite desserts from childhood--even better now that I'm an adult. As a kid, I couldn't buy a box and eat them at my own rate--I'd have to petition for the box and hope to get one or two. Now, however, I can buy two boxes and eat them both. :) I love being a glutton.

^^theres a man thats got it figured out

anyway i kinda got my camera system to work in my lua standalone game engine. unfortunately none of my matrix "classes" work as expected. especially the 4x4 matrix "class" (its lua so no matter how many object oriented features you add to a table, its still a table) im kinda thinking of ripping them out all together and creating a new matrix class that is more opengl friendly (likely doing all the maths on the modelview stack). 3x3s work ok for being in the wrong row/column order, i just transpose and convert to 4x4 before throwing them at opengl. i may keep my trusty 3x3 functions, as theyve worked well in other projects (the older pure software version of the engine, for example) . even then its simple to change that library over, as 3x3 only need rotation functions. id be happy just doing everything with 3x3 at this point.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It aint no topic :/
Post by: Nuke on February 18, 2012, 07:45:43 am
well seems the matrix issue was not an issue afterall. got my object class up and running. amazingly the only problem i had was that a function was returning a table entry when it should have been returning an index into that table to get that entry. after i tracked that down i run again and have my terrain model and 2 ship instances to greet me. my framerate was really low, im kinda hoping it was because the driver was tired of opengl crashing so hard and decided to suck to compensate. tomorrow's job on the project is going to be physics. in all likelyhood it will just be a total blatant rip out of my atmospheric flight model i wrote for freespace. it might actually work better in this engine since i have complete control over absolutely everything, and i know the big picture about how it all works.

work on my game engine has stopped pending the completion of a batch of cinnimon rolls. but while i wait for my dough to rise i was trying to profile my script to see where the bottlenecks were. the library was easy enough to use, you just call start and stop and it spews the stack and timing information to a text file. unfortunately all the timings (the part that matters) read zero, and i still dont know why my framerate is 1/3 of what it was before i implemented what amounts to an organizational structure. i might look at something that takes awhile, like model and texture loading and see if it gives me any useful data.

So, the Fender Rhodes I received for Christmas (in the process of restoring it right now) was built on December 31, 1972.  I have a piano nerd's antiquity sitting in my bedroom, and therefore, as a 12-year piano student, I have the weirdest boner right now.

I used to be a piano student
Six years. Enjoyed quite a bit of it, hated quite a bit of it

Now, I just play the piano, slowly but surely building up my repertoire


That's a pretty awesome thing though myte. I'm not much for electric pianos though.

I attended a scale model exhibition and took some photos using my old camera phone. Can't say that either it or my photography skills did the models much justice though... Here are some Colonial Viper Mk2s.

(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc418/est3b4n/Image017.jpg)

I could post more if anyone's interested. I guess they didn't come out too badly.

Whilst there I bought a copy of the Haynes Supermarine Spitfire Owner’s Workshop Manual (http://www.haynes.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=44001&langId=-1). I kind of just bought it on impulse for some reason... I also got some other stuff including a nice print of this painting: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/print-ww2-raf-hurricane-eye-needles-168162983 (http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/print-ww2-raf-hurricane-eye-needles-168162983) (that's actually a Spitfire, not a Hurricane).

Been playing Halo Anniversary and Earth Defence Force 2 with my friends while eating pizza. Good times.

Edit: [Rant] Aaaaand just faced the Spanish inquisition from my mother. She knows my friend smoked pot and drinks, so she calls me down right after I get in, to "talk" (read: her stare at me to see if I'm high or ask/say stupid things that make me want to laugh in her face). I find it honestly insulting that she thinks I'd do drugs and at nineteen years of age, if I choose to have a few drinks while out, it's none of her business.

Drives me up the bloody wall with her smothering and doubts about my ability to function without her watching over me. [Rant End]

Don't get me wrong, I love her dearly and it's nice to know she cares.....But she is overbearing. It can be argued that it's a sign that she cares and worries about me, but clingy is still clingy. And after a comment Dekker made in the last few weeks I worry that if she doesn't tone it down, I'll have a life like Howard Walowitz's from Big Bang Threory.

I bloody love that show
I'm also being told to put together a portfolio for a Digital Animation course within a month that I had no intention of doing until the following year
So I somehow need to magically get my life drawing abilities right up there along with being able to model a person in a topologically correct manner, along with several other submissions
All in a month with marginal experience, minimal practice this past year, on top of working evenings.

I have zero confidence in my ability to pull this off, and yet seem to be expected to be able to do it
Clearly, my knowledge of what they're expecting has no bearing here either. I'm nowhere near what the University is looking for prior skill wise

Welp, spent about $120 importing Gundam Extreme Vs to play on my PS3.

Absolutely worth it.

I wouldn't go so far as to declare it the best game ever, but, if you're a Gundam fan, it comes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjrolBrfWLU) really close (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ls_mZuYFWQ). Fast-paced battles, wide range of mobile suits (it has the Crossbones, for ****s sake!), moves and abilities faithfully reproduced from the series, music from the series... and luckily I can just barely read enough Japanese to understand WTF I'm doing. :D

I finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All last night. It was quite good in my opinion, I liked to keep playing just to see what would happen, especially in the last case. I'm planning to play more of the series, starting with the first Phoenix Wright game (Yeah I know I stuffed up the order playing Justice For All first, I just wanted to try the series out and that's the one I got on WiiWare first). :) It's made me wonder why I haven't tried them before!

Depends what the actual problem is, does she reciprocate those feelings? Have you told her? Are you scared to tell her in case it damages the friendship? Is it the concern that if something as natural as attraction is enough to damage a friendship, what kind of friendship was it?

I suppose all I can say is that she won't know how you feel unless you say so, but you have to be prepared for the possibility she does not, at least currently, feel the same, and be prepared to carry on as a friend if that is so.

Ask her out, if she says no, move on.

Otherwise this will turn into a creepy manic-depressive thing and nobody wants that, least of all you.

If you've already been 'in love' for years or whatever you need to get this over with since it's either going to work out really well or really badly and neither one's going to be improved by sitting and letting it fester.

Yeah, I plan on asking her - with risking damaging the friendship (Although I fear that the effects the current uncertainty is having on my persona might just be damaging the friendship even more...) - and off-course I want to carry on the friendship. The thing is, that is actually what I want. This love makes stuff needlessly complicated 0_o. She already asked me to go to the film with her, although nothing should be read into that (she is a frequent movie goer). This was after another friend remarked that a lot of boys are after her (two), and when I told her that I fully understood because she is a great woman. But again - nothing should be read into that.

The thing is, soon as I want to ask her, my autism kicks in and I shut myself down out of the fear of getting into a new, unknown, situation (I actually turned down a really great chance for romance that way, a move I have regretted ever since). It is a lot easier on paper then it actually is. I am not particularly afraid of asking - I am afraid of what might happen afterwards - And it would be a relief to know that she does not love me, just because then I can move on, whilst when she feels the same way I wouldn't know what to do with it. She knows that I need guidance (I was actually suprised she mentioned that once - usually it takes a team of psychiatrists to inform people...), but then it feels as if I am more of a burden...

But I do agree on the note of natural attraction affecting a friendship. I mean, it shouldn't, and yet it does. How can people simply expect something ingrained into our psyche not to come up at least once during the course of a male-female friendship.

Yeah, told her. She kinda liked what I had to say, but we're still in the "friends" stage. The idea was that we'll go to the movie and see how that goes.

However, I am in two minds about this: part of me wants her as a friend. Part of me wants love. The last part causes me to be shy, and feel bad, and ocasionally do rather creepy things, and when teh first part dominates I actually can act cozily and act the way I like to act. So for me it is better if we just stay friends. And for her too - because I am just a lot nicer that way.

Yeah, told her. She kinda liked what I had to say, but we're still in the "friends" stage. The idea was that we'll go to the movie and see how that goes.

Must admit, one of the weirdest things a girl ever said to me was "I don't date friends", which promoted the comment "So you date strangers and enemies?". Never really got a straight answer to that...

Installing a new motherboard is a pain! There are lots of unexplained ****ing acronyms, and the acronyms in the mobo's manual and the ones of the cables of the chassis MISMATCH. There's no RESET cable, but there should be. There's no POWERBTN but there's POWER SW, which I can only hope is the same thing...

I have two assembled comps available to use for reference, but there's not one thing that can be figured out!!!

Never mind. I followed common sense and the new motherboard works marvelously.

I would have been interested in the response, as the whole "friendzone" thing has never made any sense to me.  If I'd paid it any mind, I'd never have gotten married.  Nevermind to the wife I'm married to right now, I mean ever.  I never let anyone except my friends close enough that there would even be the chance of anything developing.  Why would I ever allow myself to be in that vulnerable a situation someone I didn't already know and trust?

Heh, thing is, if she'd simply said "I don't find you physically attractive in that way", then fair enough, I'll move on and probably stay friends, but instead you're left feeling almost like it's your fault for befriending them first, rather than simply trying to get inside their underwear...

That said, the woman I've been with for the last decade is every bit as much a friend as a partner :)

that's not quite what the "friendzone" means.  it's more of a not wanting a relationship to go bad and ruin the previous friendship.  to prevent that, one of them decides it's best not to dive into relationship territory at all, while the other either keeps getting shot down or is too big a pussy to push hard enough (me).  happens to girls too, they just don't moan on the internet about it all the time. :P

A reasonable answer to a really stupid idea
If you're both mature and intelligent humans, it won't ruin what you had before. It doesn't work out, you go back to how it was before

Oh but right, the awkwardness of it all will tear it all apart

It only ruins the relationship if you don't understand how to deal with experiments. Treat the entire situation like a lab. Come up with an objective, a prediction, go through the numbers, examine the results, and out with a conclusion. It will only ruin you if you allow it to ruin you

Post by: deathfun on February 23, 2012, 05:56:51 pm
On the contrary. How does a human interaction work? It's a series of predictions, cause and effect moments, and subtle changes that can either work for you, or against you. Saying "**** off" as a greeting is no different than putting Caesium into water. Kaboom.

Working with their likes and desires is similar to only providing the experiment with outcomes you KNOW are good, while testing the grounds with things they may or may not like, is similar to adding a new variable into the experiment

So yes, human interaction is exactly like a lab

my nukesim console now features full edit keys, and output scrolling. only thing missing now is a command system to parse and execute commands. i also didnt like my font too much so i swapped it for a full 16*16 grid of chars and a different monospace font which should scale better. the characters were kind of narrow before, and so you couldnt scale them down without significant quality loss. so i went with a darker font specifically designed for monospaced console text. and despite the lower character resolution it looks a lot better than it did, and i can actually cram more verbose data into the console. i also figure it would be possible to import the whole system into freespace, if i swap the direct calls to my opengl based font renderer (which are in another lua file anyway) with freespace's gr.drawString() function, if you ever wanted a quake style console in the game. it would come in handy as a way to allow players to configure scripts, in lieu of an actual gui. real men use consoles anyway.

i managed to turn the console in my lua standalone game engine into an interactive interpreter by adding just one line of code. i was able to add several objects to the scene from the console, which is pretty awesome. i like programming languages that let you write code for an application while its running. this is definately something im going to have to port to freespace (really just wrap in its graphics library instead of calling opengl directly, and id have to pull input from the input hooks, then come up with a way to define the point of evaluation, like pass chunks to the relevant hooks).

Which Creative card are you trying to work with? Anything Audigy 2/Audigy/late model Live! or older is supported better by the Audigy Support Pack; and at least the X-Fi XtremeAudio (and rebrands thereof) more or less needs to be installed in safe mode for the software to recognize that the card is there. Or at least in my experience; I've got a rebadged XtremeAudio and a stack of Audigy 2 Values, and one or two Lives.

x-fi xtreme music.  currently on like the 20th reinstall.  the driver will work fine, but i can't get any of the 500 consoles required to actually control the sound to work, so anything other than windows default sounds sounds like ass.  i'm currently trying to install off the disk that came with it, since i've now been through every single combination of drivers and software, including betas, offered on creative's website for my card.  i don't hold out much hope for this, since the disk is for XP and dated from 2005.  although IIRC there WAS some stuff i had to install off the disk to get it to work last time.

i REALLY don't want to contact support.  last time i did that, there were 2 day delays for emails that were nothing more than automated responses saying the same useless **** as the readmes on the website.  i don't think a real person EVER saw my requests.

Hanako is one of the most interesting characters IMHO, especially when you see the differences in the psychological direction she takes between her own route and Lily's. She ends up arguably stronger when you end up with her best friend than when you end up with her.

I've not done Lilly's route yet, Hanako was first path I chose so I can't really comment.

creative has THE most assinine support i've ever had to deal with.  and i've used verizon's.  everything about their site design attempts to prevent you from contacting support.  they want my date of purchase (from at LEAST 4 years ago) just so i can ask them how the **** to install their **** drivers.  i know i've registered my product before, but there is no way to look up that info.  :hopping:

the base drivers i have.  i can hear things.  but it sounds like absolute ****, because the consoles required to adjust settings do not work anymore for god knows what reason.  they never released true windows 7 compatible stuff.  i can't remember how i got it to work eventually before, but i do remember that it was an ugly hack of a solution, possibly involving compatibility mode on drivers (in my mind this should NEVER be necessary) from 2005.

The guy behind the desk says.. Davico, mmmm... it's a 3.

And I went, ****!!, well... I knew it (in my head).
As I was turning around felling like ****, the guy says: wait wait, I missread, you've got a 4.

my rage email to creative's "feedback" link (the only one easily accessible) actually received a response.  in less than a day.  by a person (or a REALLY good bot).  offering to help with my problem.

holy crap.  creative support ++.  bumping their total up to -9.  we'll see if "Silvano" is actually able to help.

Just spent five and a half hours of my life trying to catch up with six months of classwork for a subject that was almost finished and is due to be sent off to the exam board in the next couple of weeks.

If it was my fault, I wouldn't be *****ing, but it's the fact that because the college made the previous teacher responsible for the class redundant, all previous work done and marked by her became null and void due to the ****ed up rules and regulations Btec constantly try to shove up our arse.  :mad:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!  :mad2:

Once I get a job and some decent income, the second thing I'm going to do is upgrade to something that won't be completely useless for some time, and fairly easy to upgrade.

On a different note, I'm feeling better now compared to earlier. An hour long nap followed by dinner and a bit of katawa shoujo. Though thanks to the game, I'll never be able to look at blond, rich, blind girls the same way ever again. It's always the well spoken ones.....

my problem was i might make $1000 a month, but then rent costs $950, so i end up living with my insane mother/grandma/brother (whole family is insane), just so that i can both eat, and have a place to stay. until i figured out it was easier to just collect food stamps and extort my other family members for housing. once my lawyer gets me on social security i can move to oakland california, get a weed card, get a place and smoke weed till i die.

initial shock and mildly impressed take on creative support responding to me from the feedback button has passed.  after 4 email rounds, all they have been able to do is tell me to install the wrong driver, and then go "oh sorry, no install THIS one."  AFTER i told them in the initial round that i had already tried EVERY single driver on their website, and the problem was in fact with the other software, not the drivers.

open to non-fanboyish suggestions for new sound card.  music quality is more important to me than gaming, but it should be able to do that too without a huge headache.  i have 5.1 analog speakers.

This: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132013 I don't own one, but I hear good things, reviews from reputable sites are good, and the price is fair. I still think that your issue installing the Creative card may be helped by installing the most recent drivers in Safe Mode, as that's whats needed to get the apps for my Creative working. Otherwise they complain there's no compatible card.

So I was called by this indian fellow posing as a Windows Operating System tech guy helping me with the copious amount of errors being sent to him which MUST be a virus

I was bored, so I strung him along. Oh boy, where to start
"Alright, go to your computer"
"Alright, at my computer"
"Do you see the desktop and everything on it?"
"Uh.... no I just see a black screen"
"...is the computer on?"
"I think so... oh wait... no it isn't. Hold on" *pause* "Alright, it's turning on"
"Alright" *pause* "Do you see the desktop and all the icons?"
"Uh... no it's still loading. It takes about three minutes"
"Well it would appear your computer is running slowly, and could be related to things running in the background"
"Oh no, it's always run like this. It's Windows 98"
"Did you say Windows 98 sir?"
"Yes, it's Windows 98"
"Do you have any other computers in your household?"
"Uh, no... this is my only computer"
"That is your only computer?"
"Yes, the the 98 is my only computer"
"Do you see the desktop icons yet?"
"No... still load- oh wait here we go. I see the... four dozens or so icons now"
"Alright, take a look and find the one that says "My Computer""
"I already found my computer"
"Right click on it"
"How do I right click on a CRT monitor?"
"No sir, right click on the desktop icon"
"There's a desktop icon for My Computer?"
"Yes sir, it should be located in the top left corner"
"Uh... okay... searching for it now..." *pause* "Ah there it is, it was under that vid...eoo.... [chuckle]"
"Now right click on it"
"How do I right click?"
"Hit the right click on your mouse"
"I have a single click mouse... how do I right click?"
"Okay forget about that then sir, go to run"
"Run where?"
"Run program"
"Are you selling me a gym membership?"
"No sir, it's on your computer. It's a program"
"Oooooo. Alright, where is this run?"
"Click the start menu button"
"Okay, clicked it"
"Now it should be on the right side... hit run. R...U...N" (thanks dumbass for spelling it)
"Alright, I clicked it... nothing happened"
"Nothing happened?"
"Ya, I clicked it and nothin- oh wait there we go. A small little box came up"
"Alright, what do you see in this box?"
"It's a box... with a white line typey thingy to type in, and an arrow I can click which gives me a white box"
"Alright, click on the white... line... thingy"
"Okay"
"Now type in ffjdsfjf" (I honestly didn't know what he told me to)
"Wait... what was I typing in?"
"fdhsfjak"
"Could you repeat that?"
"Are you at the run program sir?"
"Yes I am at the run program. What am I supposed to type in?"
"Alright, type in the following" *Starts listing using phonetics*
"Okay okay, now what?"
"Hit okay"
"Alright, so I hit okay... nothing happened. Is that suppose to happen?"
"Your computer is running really slowly sir. Are you sure you don't have any other computers in your household?"
"Nope. I only have the 98"
"How old is that computer sir?"
"It's from 1998"
"And there are no other computers in your house?"
*aggravated* "No, there are no other computers in my household!"
"Alright, did a window pop up on your screen?"
"Uh... no... all I see is a blue screen with white text saying... internal error"
"I'm sorry si-"
"What did you do to my computer? WHAT THE **** DID YOU DO TO MY COMPUTER?"
*click*

something FINALLY ****ing worked and i have control over my sound again.  absolutely NO thanks to "Silvano" from creative support, who mysteriously went silent after the drivers he told me to install didn't work (as i told him in my initial email they didn't).

still have no idea what did it though.  part of the solution was using the original disk that creative says under no circumstances to use.  i do know that much.

Currently trying to decide if I want to download the Katawa Shoujo OST bundle.
On one hand, they are all brilliant pieces to listen to and would make a nice contrast to the rest of my music. But on the other hand, there is a very real chance that they will cause my mind to implode from a massive influx of emotion.

Today, I was banned from commenting for a week on fmylife.  My crime was commenting "so what?" to a post that basically said "it rained on me," and "how does something this obviously fake get past moderation?" to a post that was incredibly and obviously fake.  The notification of my banning was more offensive than my comments.  FML.

An unexpected side effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiderwebs.

We did Bad Movie Marathon at my place over the weekend. Manos was the last movie we watched. There's something incredible about it; there's so much to cinematography that you don't even realize is a thing that is done until somebody forgets to do it.

Quiet you! They were works of art, all the way untill FFX (and even then I sometimes have doubts about that particular title) before they lost the spark. Then again, seeing as I'm a massive fan, I'm rather bias.

Better than the Phantasy Star series by parsecs though.  :nod:

Final Fantasy 8 sucks and you suck for liking it, to quote Spoony.

Actually I'd say that about pretty much every part of the series, but at least the first few games can considered "following a successful formula" rather than "self-parodic". Seven gets a pass in the minds of North American gamers because they hadn't played the first six.

Had a fun day today (albeit, took a while to get to the fun part)
Basically, enjoyed my morning juice. Been a while since I squeezed some oranges and blended in a banana. Tasted good as all hell
Then, off to the restaurant for some lunch (Thai Chicken Rollup and The Cookie [ate it before Nuke stole it])
But of course, was waiting for my friend to get his **** together so we could do something

I waited for three and a half hours before we all finally got to a bloody agreement (costing me 7 dollars in phone calls). What did we do? Well, watched "Project X"

****ing hilarious movie.

Then joined a couple other mytes for a little bit of drinking, and hanging out

Fun night, but now I owe him a bottle for driving me back to where I live
Eh

I know, I know. It's just that he's kept the perv to a humourous level throughout most of the series, this chapter just looks like he couldn't think of anything worthwhile to have in the third chapter from the end, so he just threw a psuedo tentacle monster and a couple of fanservice frames at the reader. I'd feel less ripped off if all he did was show everyone having tea and crumpets for the entire chapter.

I know that weather in Kansas is really weird, but last night, a severe storm came through, blanketing my city in hail, the usual stuff. I get up the next day, and there's an inch of snow on the ground... :wtf:

Lucky!  We didn't have any of the snow stick, it all melted in the fifty degree morning air before I woke up.

After the 2010 snow, I never wanted to see it again. :mad2: Fortunatly, it's mostly gone.

I have finals today, i've done good on the others, so this should be fine.

Edit: I've finished the last final, passed. Thank God that my suffering is over for a little while.

ive spent several days in eagle cad designing my legendary 8-bit video board. ive been considering that the mcu i am using to drive the display signals is way too powerful for the job, and that i might have enough cpu time to allow character backgrounds and some degree of sprite processing. im using a rotating frame buffer, essentially you can write to one sram module while the other one is being used to genrerate video signals (native vga, but ive found an ic to convert rgb to yuv and might be able to support composite as well). during a blanking period in the video signal you can flip the buffer so that the new frame may be drawn.

considering there is some excess time during horizontal and vertical blanking periods to run code, i figured the contents of the frame buffer could be blended with at least one background layer, possibly more (and maybe forground/text overlay), and a sprite layer. in addition i am planning full text and raster modes as well.

hardware interface is essentially a memory interface. a 15-bit address bus (framebuffer is an epic 32k!) and an 8 bit data bus, and about 5 control pins. initially i will have this thing connected to an arduino with some latches of shift registers to multiplex the pins. there will be a a command register that lets you issue commands, initially you will init the frame buffer by writing data to the control register (what video mode, what resolution, other settings), and any data you need transfered to the onboard mcu (backgrounds, sprites, fonts, palettes). the mcu has 16k of sram, some of it will be used to cache the current line, and some for program code, the rest can be used to store graphics. once inited then you may write data to the frame buffer, which varies with the video mode.

later on i might throw together a nice 8 bit computer to replace the arduino, provided i can find a fairly modern 8 bit cpu, or a microcontroller that supports an external program area. i at some point want to be able to run code from something like an sd card, and avr isnt quite so good at running code from off chip.

Oh, hey, looks like the place where you got your License Key for the DLC is down. Well, ****. Let's browse some support forums.

Universal Key? I like this. Handed out by EA themselves, no less, so it's legit.

Oh no, wait, it doesn't work.

What's this, support forums? What do you mean the installer doesn't play nice with newer Windows registries?

Oh, ****. That means regedit...  :blah:

Lunch used to be an hour and a half, but the college made a bunch of tutors redundant and one of them did the class that was supposed to fill an hour and a half of the time. And another hour was freed up when I got told that I was up to date with all my work, so I didn't have to stay to the end of first lesson.

**** you wisdom teeth

You

Had them removed yesterday. Freezing was SUPPOSED to last five, six hours (not to mention bleeding wasn't supposed to have lasted the rest of the day. Gauze, more gauze... oh and some more gauze)
They lasted ten before I could my tongue
Once I could, I popped the largest pill I've ever popped in my life, along with a T3
Sleep? Oh sure, managed for an hour at a time, then two hours awake, then sleep for an hour, then awake for two hours

JUST when I was about to get a nice nap till my alarm, father walks in seeing if I'm okay
**** I WAS UNTIL YOU WOKE ME UP

On the bright side, no pain, just soreness and throbbing
And liquids. Lots of liquids
And more large pills
No T3s. Don't need them

I'm going to dislike this next week

My removal several years ago went pretty well.  I was stoned out of my mind for a day or so from the sedation and happy pills, but I had only minor bleeding and not much pain.  The real trick is using bags of frozen veggies (peas are ideal) to hold on your cheeks; really helps prevent swelling.

The large pills are antibiotics which are in my best interest to take. They also don't make good recreational drugs

I'm not popping T3's. I had one to help me sleep


And yes, I've been using freeze packs to lower swelling in one of those tube things that you wrap around your head

meh, they gave me vicodin, not antibiotics. giving antibiotics is not always a good idea though. the more you take the less effective they become, so if you get a bad infection somewhere down the line, antibiotics will not be as effective, but if you wait till you absolutely need them they will stop an infection cold. sometimes i think its for the 'so you dont sue us' factor. never trust people in the medical profession. they are all corrupt bastards who are more concerned about avoiding lawsuits than healing people.

but yea, vicodin can be fun.

meh, they gave me vicodin, not antibiotics. giving antibiotics is not always a good idea though. the more you take the less effective they become, so if you get a bad infection somewhere down the line, antibiotics will stop it cold. sometimes i think its for the 'so you dont sue us' factor. never trust people in the medical profession. they are all corrupt bastards who are more concerned about avoiding lawsuits than healing people.

but yea, vicodin can be fun.
With high risk comes high reward. Why else would doctors be paid six figures?

because humans are whiny *****es who think that every little thing that causes pain will kill them. they will throw money at ineffectual treatments and pointless tests just because a doctor tells them its for their own good, without even considering what their other motives may be. healthcare is a very corrupt industry, they want your money, they dont want to help you at all.

I do agree that antibiotics aren't always a good idea, but when it comes to open wounds in your mouth (four large ones to be precise), and the nature of what you put in your mouth... I think this is considered a good idea

It's a preventative measure, and the first time I've taken them

And ha, Vicodin. Did you pull a Dr. House everytime you had one?

EDIT: Sidenote, your body isn't what becomes resilient to the antibiotics, it's the infection/bacteria/virus that does

we (as in society) forced doctors into the CYA way of doing things.  it's not their fault.  most doctors are good people.  the insurance and drug companies are the bastards.  and now the government for ****ing things up worse.

Huh, I don't remember having antibiotics prescribed when I got mine out.  If an infection had developed, sure, but it seems a little too proactive to give them up-front.  What do I know, though.

There is very little risk to using antibiotics as long as you stay on the course for exactly as long as your doctor orders. Do not tail off early.

So a friend dragged me out to the Saint Patrick's Day festivities in the downtown area this evening.  What did I do?  I found a gaming store that was open until 11:00pm and bought a copy of Expedition to Undermountain.  I may be a little too nerdy for this particular holiday.

Doctors (EDIT: In the United States) generally have malpractice insurance which insulates them from worrying about every little thing - but a doctor who makes a truly negligent decision can still be charged criminally. There are some bad doctors out there, but generally they're pretty good at whatever they specialize in. Most general doctors specialize in people with münchausens.

 Negima is FINISHED.

Nine years of my life...
Nine years of my life following the story, and I get an ending chapter that took every single second of the time past and proceed to piss on them while ****ing laughing at me!

**** YOU Akamatsu.  :hopping:

From all of the characters in it, you decide to focus on one semi-main character and a bunch of backgrounders!? Only to give to more popular and important ones a bloody picture and a paragraph or two that left most questions from the series unanswered and added more! What about all the hype about getting Negi to answer a question? You know, the one that a couple of the last chapters FOCUSED ON!  :mad:

Yeah, stuff is implied, but for the time I've invested in this I want it spelled out to me. If only so that things are officially canon, and I'm either proved right or wrong and one of the longest debates of my life comes to a close.

Ugh, I always thought I was above nerd-rage. I guess I'm not.

The thing is, throughout most of Negima, it was. He kept things consistent and plot hole free across a quite complex universe. Anything that looked like an inconsistency later turned out to be foreshadowing.

He just slipped on the ending somehow. And I know the Japanese prefer open-ended conclusions, but this seems a bit much even by that standard.

Got home yesterday, found Firespawns XBOX 360 games in my room, thought nothing of it. This morning, noticed my work bag on the floor and thought nothing of it. On the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) this morning tried turning my kindle on and to my utter dismay, shock and RAAAAAAAGE. Half the screen was dead. All i can assume is that at some point over the weekend. Firespawn TROD on my work bag and killed my kindles screen.





Luckily for him Amazon customer service is quite civilissed and after explaining that I won it in an Army Raffle last year for a fiver (true story bro) they seemed no to care as long aas it was registered to my Amazon account. So are sending me a replacement Kindle and are collecting my defective on for free. I can't begin to express how helpful they were at defusing my potential RAAAAAAAAGE at seeing Firespawn face-to-face again.




They saved your life bro ;)

I played 360 in your room on Friday night and made sure not to mess with or tread on anything. Hell, last I remember, the bag was out the way at the foot of your bed. On the other hand, Dave was going through upstairs looking for his 360 while I was downstairs humouring him, looking in the lobby.

Can't you just sequentially check each sphere independently? you know, like calculate the distance between the point or volume your checking and each of the origins of the spheres, then check the each sphere from the nearest to the farthest by sorting the distances (maybe use a linked list?). Chances are, if there is a collision, it would be with the nearest object... unless the furthest object of course dwarfes the other two (example: a mickey-mouse symbol made of three spheres, and your checking collision detection with the magician's hat vs the symbol)

i played an old game i havent played for over 15 years. the all the ships thread kinda reminded me of an old ship and it took me 2 hours to remember what game it was from. turns out it was from an old sega saturn game called solar eclipse. after finding a disc image and an emulator that ****ing worked, i managed to play through the whole game. its essentially a starfox clone where you hunt down an ai gone mad. it also had cutscenes with that chick that played ivonova on b5. brought back some memories. i tried to remember other games for the sega saturn that i miss, but had a hard time, since there were only a couple really good games on that system exclusively.

Atleast you are still breathing man. I know how scary it feels when you see it coming yet have nothing to do about it, although I survived relatively intact... So I can feel for you 'bout the first part I geuss. For what it is worth.

On a slightly related note: This weekend I shall visit my grandpa, who due to cancer is breathing trough a straw and can not speak. After surviving 5 chemo's and operations rendering unable to speak, he managed to shake off the cancer that was haunting him...

Or so they thought, as it now turns out it has metastized. The man is a walking medical miracle, as he should by rights be dead already, but it really sucks to first hear that he made it (he actually was happier then he was in years, he also quitted smoking (he withdrew due to being in hospital for so long, and he was smiling for the first time in years), and then hear that he has to go trough the entire circus again. He has taken it quite hard, or so I heard.

The problem for me is that I really don't know what to do with it... Either he will be a dying man or a suffering man, and I do not know how to make him find comfort in that...

Post by: Nuke on March 23, 2012, 09:59:42 am
meh, i dont like cake unless theres chocolate in it.

anyway i was toying around with some ideas dealing with memory allocation on my video board. despite only having a 32k (dual, 2x32k) frame buffer for raster data, and 16k (really 12k cause i need a line buffer and some space for program use) for backgrounds, ive come to the conclusion that i will have some nice background, forground, and text overlay options.

turns out 8k buys me a set of 128 8x8 pixel characters, with 8bpp. this will come in handy for those highly detailed backgrounds that dont really change a whole lot. to put that in perspective a the screen may display roughly 32x24 characters at any given time, so many of those 128 chars will need to get reused since there is room for 768 characters on the screen. but that was common on 2d backgrounds on almost every major 2d console. im fondly calling this mode pure 8.

i also decided for some oddball reason to support a set of 128 characters at 4bpp. these characters are still 8x8 so no real quality is gained here. it does however allow me to **** with the palettes to create animated background effects, like flickering lights and whatnot. unlike with the pure 8 mode, i now got to store an extra 3k of palette indices, as well as 1k worth of palettes. so i only have 4k to store the set. im calling this pal 4.

and then for situations when you really feel masochistic, im also doing a large number of 4 color palettes. 256 palettes in fact. this frees up some ram so i can also have 256 distinctive sprites. im kinda thinking of halving the number of pallettes and putting that ram to additional characters, but then id need a larger data type to store the character index, and that would actually increase memory usage. this will have the lowest overall quality, however it will allow for the most variation in background objects. this mode will be called pal 2, obviously.

regardless of the character mode, i need to define layers. each cell, which will hold one of those characters, needs 2 bytes of data (or 1 byte in pure 8 mode). the first is an index into the array containing the characters, and the second byte an index of the array containing palettes. thats why the palettes and the character set are closely related. the character doesn't know what its colors are, and a palette is just a list of colors. this essentially connects everything together. background layers in most 2d systems are not tied to the screen at all, in fact they contain much more pixel area than the screen can display. this allows you to offset the background so you can make the backgrounds scroll and move as you play whatever platform game or top down shooter you decide to make. if you have multiple backgrounds you can play wit perspective by scrolling at different rates, for some cool effects. this also takes the most ram, 6k, unless its pure 8 mode (where i can dump the palette index and half the size as a result).

you can also allocate all that memory to either one big background layer, or several smaller layers. seems i can support a max of 3 layers (in addition to the contents of the framebuffer) and still have backgrounds big enough to cover the entire screen. as i said above the minimum size is 32x24, but the 3 layer mode allows backgrounds that are between 32x32 and 42x24. where as using one big layer lets you do something between 32x96 and 128x24 character area. i have 5 modes actually, and each has a number of available resolutions, so im not going to cover every possibility. but i will mention that i can have text overlay with one or two additional layers. my text overlay will be limited to 32x24 chars (these will use a font stored on the "gpu"'s flash and wont use any ram) and wont move, but it will be useful for scoreboards, game time, huds, etc. the available areas to the backgrounds are smaller, but still have a fairly good area to work with.

unfortunately ive used up the entire 12k of free ram on the gpu (aka mcu, an atmega 1284 in a dip 40 package to be precise) and i haven't allocated anything for sprites. no problem, with backgrounds out of the way and the rotating buffer design of the board, i can draw those in the frame buffer pretty quickly. i dont have to wait for any interrupts or anything. when im done drawing i just bring one of the pins high, and wait for another pin to toggle, and the buffers will flip when the gpu has a nanosecond or two to spare. its even theoretically possible i could do some wireframe stuff in 3d. provided the cpu running the show is powerful enough.

should point out i haven't even wrote any code yet. let alone build the board. or prototyped anything. im still waiting on parts. and i dont want to cut any pcbs until ive tested the subsystems in a breadboard. programming it is gonna suck a lot, much of it will be in assembly, a language i am not all to familiar with. this is necessary to keep the timings correct. for example if i need to branch off my code, i will need to make sure both paths take the same number of cycles to complete. i will not have much time on the gpu to do all the stuff that i just said, sicne the thing will be pumping out pixels most of the time. il have to page in a line from the frame buffer every blanking period, where i have the most cpu time available. blending will occur in asm while im piping out pixels. im only using a quarter of the vga resolution (so my screen res is only 160x120) in my frame buffer. so i have an octal latch to hold the inputs of my dac at the last recieved value, so i can go about processing the next pixel. background pixels then frame buffer pixel, followed by forground pixels and text overlay pixels, a max of 4 pixels worth of blending.

tldr: you suck for not reading that!

I done something similar. Loaded the save from the start of the mission (before any moves were done), loaded my two autogunners with incendiary rounds and filled the warehouse that the buggers were in with righteous and gentlemanly ENGLISH FIRE, promptly followed by a few prox 'nades and a heavy plasma on overwatch.

4:1 kill ratio. Pretty good considering that over half the squad were just bellow mauve shirts, and Snakemen and Chrysalids have been the basis of most of my nightmares since Dekker first let me watch him play UFO waaaaaaaay back when.

Italians: gratuitous cruelty to people and animals. Accidentally picked up some real bones while filming in a crypt? Don't give them back, just keep them in your house! Kill real dogs on camera for your movie!

Although frankly having just watched some really bad movie about martial arts and tigers, there's a scene with a kid poking a real, live tiger with a stick. A kid. Can't be more than seven, probably about five.

The tiger turns and goes at him, knocking him over and leaping on top of the kid while some dubbed voice goes on in a tone that is not in the least appropriate to the kid's terrified face...and then we get a cut to a much older version of the character and the kid is never seen again.

I'm reasonably sure the poor kid got killed filming this movie. If not, lord knows he got permanently ****ed-up by the angry ****ing tiger they were filming him with without any safety precautions at all.

You didn't put enough water in it! Your supposed to boil salted water, add macaroni shells to it, and let them cook until the macaroni is no longer crunchy. Once the macaroni is cooked, add the cheese sauce mix to the macaroni (and water), stir, and let simmer. "Sauce will thicken."

You idiots don't know how to make macaroni and cheese

Take the noodles, boil and cook to Al Dente
Remove from heat
Grate copious amounts of cheese
Have two cans of tomato soup (Campbell's works best)

Put some of the noodles into a casserole dish. Add some of the soup paste, and some cheese. Mix well
Repeat process until cheese, paste, and noodles are done. Add Parmesan cheese generously on top of the mixture

Have the oven preheated to 350F, place it dish into oven, let it bake for half hour or until preferred point

THAT'S how you make Macaroni and Cheese

Damn man
I wouldn't be able to stand Mac'n'cheese with butter

As for being a single man...
...well I'd still make it

An hour of preparation gets you three solid days of awesome supper meals. Ramen just gets you... ramen



But if you want something simpler, take Kraft Dinner, cook it up normally, then throw it in the saute pan that you were making bacon in
You'll love it. Fried KD mixed with bacon. It's easy, quick, and awesome

And better than Ramen

We worked on a Kendo Flow Drill tonight, got a ways to go before we get here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkjWyWmFEk4&feature=youtu.be) but on the way.  Then we rumbled down to an Irish Pub, I had NE Clam Chowder in a bread bowl, a Reuben with a side of laughter and great company.

What's a Reuben? Because when I read that, I could only see my middle name.

Often corned beef instead of pastrami and also quite good with a bit of thousand island dressing.

Pastrami is far superior to corned beef. :nod:

I just wasted an hour arguing about physics with my dad (Ph.D. in physics)...

One of the steps of my argument was that if I applied a force F at a point offset from the CoM by a radius r, then the linear acceleration would be F/m, and the angular acceleration would be I-1(F × r). Definition.

The thing that was "wrong" was that in the big picture, the force F I was applying was not correct for the circumstances. But he wasted an hour of my time because he kept disagreeing with a = F/m and α = I-1(F × r)  :mad:




Also, I had a dream about a girl I miss from high school again :(

mine just kinda disappeared after getting raped (at least thats her story, things never quite added up). some years later she reappeared, only this time more pregnant. she didnt want anything to do with me at that point. her mom adopted the bby, she disappeared again, and some years later ended up in jail. she got out, and till didnt want anything to do with me. all in all, my most successful, not fully sexual (though enough to make it interesting), relationship. there was that four year stretch with my brother's now ex wife, but she only wanted to ****.

My downstairs neighbors slam doors.  No, you don't understand, they slam doors each and every time they pass through one.  One of them once slammed a car door in the parking lot so hard that you could feel it rattle the floor of the apartment building.  By slamming the doors leading in an out of their apartment, they've rattled lamps off of my desk.  This was especially problematic, when I was working nights and evenings, and they'd get up and start slamming doors, when I'd been in bed for all of two hours.

Tonight, I was unable to sleep.  At 5:00am, I gave up and got out of bed.  Being an indignant, spiteful prick, I decided that turnabout is fair play, but the slamming of doors is crude and unpleasant.  That being said, if you heard Led Zeppelin coming through your roof, shortly after 5:00am today, loud enough to rattle the lighting fixtures from their mountings, then please accept the following apology:

**** you, and stop slamming the doors, you useless pieces of ****.

My downstairs neighbors slam doors.  No, you don't understand, they slam doors each and every time they pass through one.  One of them once slammed a car door in the parking lot so hard that you could feel it rattle the floor of the apartment building.  By slamming the doors leading in an out of their apartment, they've rattled lamps off of my desk.  This was especially problematic, when I was working nights and evenings, and they'd get up and start slamming doors, when I'd been in bed for all of two hours.

Tonight, I was unable to sleep.  At 5:00am, I gave up and got out of bed.  Being an indignant, spiteful prick, I decided that turnabout is fair play, but the slamming of doors is crude and unpleasant.  That being said, if you heard Led Zeppelin coming through your roof, shortly after 5:00am today, loud enough to rattle the lighting fixtures from their mountings, then please accept the following apology:

**** you, and stop slamming the doors, you useless pieces of ****.

****, my sister does that. its so ****ing annoying. also she is completely incapable of doing anything at normal hours. she was over here the other night, she did laungry all day till 2am. our machines are ancient and loud, especially if you overload them. she always overloads them. i also fail how staying over for one night involves doing a week's worth of laundry. she also showers 4 times a day i kid you not. she used up every towel in the house. to think with all the laundry she did she didnt get any towels. there arent many doors in the house to slam, but she slams them anyway. she took a shower at 3am (probibly after having sex, boring sex because i didnt hear anything). slammed both doors on the way, was throwing things while she was in there. she woke me up so i browsed hard light on the porn computer. she likes to bang on the floor/ceiling to comunicate with here spouse and yell **** up the stairs. i hate loud people.

When you do a double comma, what is inside those two commas are more a sidenote. What is before and after the sidenote should be able to be put together without losing the complete thought.
In the case of this sentence... it does not complete the thought. Therefore, A is the correct answer.

A better fashion fashion to construct this sentence would actually be "Should you notice a spill, notifying your supervisor immediately won't mean **** as the time you take to tell him about it may be enough time for an old grandmother with a bad hip to slip on aforementioned spill. CLEAN IT THE **** UP FIRST"

When you have a sentence with multiple clauses, you always separate the clauses with a comma.  Not every instance of two commas appearing in a sentence implies the content in between is intended as a parenthetical/footnote.  That's why A is both incorrect and hilarious.  By not separating the independent clause from the second dependent clause, they become a single idea, rather than separate ideas.  Sentence A implies you should wait until right before an accident is supposed to occur before taking any action.  Sentence B tells you to take action immediately, with the additional warning that not doing so can result in an accident occurring.

This is why I get a chuckle, whenever someone says that private business (i.e. corporate bureaucracy) is somehow better than public bureaucracy.  At that lab, a supervisor was required to investigate a spill, before anyone was allowed to clean it up.  If you were not a supervisor and had not been told by a supervisor to clean the spill up, then taking the initiative to clean it up would result in a black mark on your record.  You were supposed to cordon the spill area off too, but the wet floor signs and caution tape weren't stored in the lab-proper, so really, the whole spill cleanup procedure was just a shambles from the start.

as someone who works in the mother of all government bureaucracies, let me just say that the general public perception of how retarded the government is in this regard doesn't even scratch the surface.  as an engineer, i'm not even allowed to TOUCH things.  if i need to shift a hose a foot to the left, i'm supposed to fill out a 'deficiency report' to have a different engineer come down and evaluate the situation, draft paperwork authorizing the move and providing instructions on how to do so, and a day or so later a team of shop workers will be dispatched to actually move the goddamn hose.

and "spill" is such a dirty word here that even the most foul-mouthed sailors are scared to say it.  i once cracked a joke using the word "spill" and the most inappropriate, hates his job and tries to break all the rules he can guy i've ever met in my life looked at me sternly and said "dude, not funny."

So at the coop I'm living in we pick which rooms we get based on house seniority, determined by how long you've lived in the house in semesters. Unfortunately this leads to a lot of ties and a need for lots of tie breakers. We use Rock-Paper-Scissors most often, which usually works well enough for seeing who "wins". Unfortunately when you have a 5 way tie things get a little hairy so I devised a recursive algorithm to handle the sorts. We'd play round robin RPS which would break us up into buckets of number of wins, more wins meaning more senior. Ties for numbers of wins would be dealt with by the same algorithm (hence recursion). Best case number of matches is (n2-n)/2 (n=number of contestants), assuming that no one ties for number of wins. Course since we had 5 people I noticed that it was possible that everyone get the same number of wins, in which case the problem wouldn't get any smaller and allowing an (unlikely) chance for infinite recursion, which is our worst case scenario. For everyone to have the same number of wins, obviously everyone needs to have the same number of losses as well, though I don't think wins necessarily equals losses. At first I thought this can possibly happen if (n2-n)/2 is even but not on odds. This led me to discover the interesting behavior of that expression in that the change between n's that give you even values alternates between 1 and 3 (ie they are 4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17...). Unfortunately when n=4 (n2-n)/2=6 you cannot have a complete tie. So my next guess would be when n is odd you get a possibility of a complete tie because with n-1 matches per person it is an even count of matches, meaning that it is possible to have wins == losses. Didn't think there was necessarily a connection at first but it seems totally obvious now: total wins and total losses during a set need to be equal just because that's how RPS works, and if we're assuming that everyone has the same number of wins, they'd need to have the same number of losses, and if the two values weren't equal then you'd get the total values not being equal, which can't happen since you can only win or lose RPS (toss out ties, which now that I think about it throws a wrench in here since happens pretty often). Anyway, point is that you should make sure to use a game that has more outcomes than people to determine rank. Otherwise you'd be better off picking some random quality to sort by, like first name.

Got my letter of offer in the mail today:

'Mr G, you are hereby made the following offer...

Function: Officer Under Training;

Rank: Officer Cadet.'

Would be the happiest day of my ****ing life if I didn't just get an allergist appointment done and basically get told by the allergist that because I have any reaction to peanuts, that I'm at risk of anaphylaxis due to some new research done...and anaphylaxis is somewhat of a dirty, Medical Class 4 :. Career-ending move.

I know that the Aus Army cater to peanuts (so long as you're NOT anaphylactic), but ****, am going to do everything in my power to make sure that report doesn't go through. Planning to spew some BS about it and get another allergist report to them by the end of next week written by a sane allergist who can respond to the actual question that was asked, 'What is Mr. dilmah's reactional severity?' which is M.I.L.D.

Honestly, the worst its ever gotten has had me on the crapper for half an hour - I honestly think I could still function in my role as a Lieutenant if I had to eat some left-over ****. Which shouldn't be an issue anyway, given that the ADF do peanut-free hotboxes.

HD crash!

It took 10 minutes from BIOS to get to Windows. Opera took some minutes to load too. I can browse with a bearable speed on the net, but everything else is darn slow to load. I'm wondering I should run FSO and stopwatch it, just for experiment's sake.

Hahahaha! Yeah, I'm trying not to, but the thought of being made Class 4 is really stressing me out insanely at the moment. My current plan is to try and stop the report from going through and then get an appointment with another allergist. And making sure that before that appointment that my body is chock-full of antihistamines so nothing comes up. :P

Should work also for appeal, so IMO I *should* be okay. It may mean that I don't get enlisted with the rest of the folks I got selected with on the 24th. :(

Also Firespawn, that looks fairly tame!  ;7

modern combat jet has more things to go wrong with than you want to know about, most of the time it's stuff that wont affect flight operations, sometimes, despite the best maintenance, something critical fails.  Not saying pilot error is out of the question but there is a shed load of stuff to consider in these situations which is why investigations into air crashes take months, at least the data recorders should be easy to find

IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 taught me that crashing is really easy, though.  Some of the planes will flip over, if you throttle the engine up too quickly on take-off.  Also, if you're flying aircraft intended for carrier use, make sure the 'fold wings' key is in a very obscure place on your controler/keyboard, because in mid-air, that's the 'wings fall off' button.

Apparently, when you get really good at staying aloft, there's other aircraft in the game that you can fight!  I'm unable to confirm or deny these claims.

i'm watching the local news coverage.  they just now said there have been 6 people treated at the hospital.  no deaths confirmed now, but of course there's a real possibility that there are in the apartments that they haven't been able to get into and search yet.  3 buildings completely destroyed, 2 more heavily damaged.  various eye witnesses suggest the wing may have come off after takeoff, and pretty much everyone has said that they heard engines popping like they were either blowing up or trying to restart.  the mayor said the admiral of the air base told him that the pilots saw flames come over the wing. 

it looks like from the helicopter shots that the tail section dislodged, or the rest of the plane simply disintegrated.


as a side note, this news coverage is really making me realize how dumb a lot of reporters are.

Welp, I stumbled upon that thread, and I was kind of hoping (but not expecting) that it wasn't that particular forum and that the link wouldn't garner as much defense as it did.  It's pretty hard to maintain any measure of credibility, when defending the veracity and integrity of The Daily Mail.  I guess there's a good reason why I only go there anymore, when I'm trying to get a sense of what the lunatic fringe is saying about a particular political issue.

(To be fair, the real crazies are just two or three of the posters there, but their presence is so dominant on that forum that their madness really does define the conversation.)

they haven't confirmed any, but unfortunately i've got to think there were some deaths.  3 apartment buildings of 4 units each are simply GONE.  it will be a goddamn miracle if every one of those was empty at the time.  there's basically zero chance anyone who might have been in those 3 survived.

Considering that there were in fact people who were in the buildings who were interviewed by various news outlets, your logic is not only bad and demonstrably wrong, but you didn't actually pay attention. Yahoo News had this, man. Freaking Yahoo News.

More seriously, this is a small jet crashing into a small building that didn't even do much burning or anything. (The plane was apparently dumping fuel involuntarily, which suggests a pretty catastrophic failure.) Compare this to, say, 9/11, where a really damn big jet crashed into a huge building that then subsequently collapsed dropping the remains about a thousand feet (since pretty much everyone who died did so above or very close to the point of impact), and they managed to find roughly 1900 bodies and identify most of them. Compared to that, this is easy as hell.

Unless you actually talked to people or investigated the crash site, you're still just parroting whatever the news tells you. What insights did you gain from watching hours of aerial footage?

I think you misinterpreted Klaustrophobia's post - I believe talking to/listening to people in the know is exactly what he did, and this then enabled him to not just parrot what the news tells, which is what he's accusing NGTM-1R of. Why would he need to watch hours of aerial footage when he lives 3 miles away? He was just offering possibilities for NGTM-1R's insight.

Irrespective of what the actual topic of this mini-debate is about, whenever I see someone act like a douche on ANY part of the forum toward someone else, it turns me off coming here a little bit more each time. It's as if respectfully disagreeing with someone doesn't even exist sometimes.  :rolleyes:

Was out hiking after classes as usual, perfect day for it.  There must have been a great windstorm recently as a bunch of large trees had fallen all over.  Came across a particularly large one across my path, so I jumped over it and
squishHISSSSS

I winced and braced myself for the imminent explosion, but it never came.  Looked down and realized my foot had landed right on a snake's tail. D:  The snake survived, I think (he at least managed to slither away pretty quick), but I felt pretty bad. :(

Wish I could have seen my "OH ****, CREEPS" reaction face though, lol.  Damn you, Minecraft, for conditioning me to be terrified of the hiss of mother****ing snakes!

I literally only saw one pair. They were a very good pair, but alas, this one is far less like soft-core porn....kind of. The humour was frequent enough and the trailers don't do it justice. Although low brow? Pshaw  :D I left the cinema in a very good mood after it.

Got a book that goes over notetaking, "Bud's Easy Note Taking System" or something similar. First parts of the book go over the types of memory and how they store stuff... Main two types of memory are Procedural and Semantic memory, which deals with sequencies and associations, respectively.

That said, the best way for me to learn mathematics is to do numerous practice problems.

so i just added an assortment of shift registers, hex inverters and other ics to my 7400 series collection, and 5, 2-digit, 7 segment displays. still not enough to build anything fun.

actually i should have enough parts to build that hex keypad/display ive always wanted. which should help me debug the bus/memory i/o for my other project, my video card of doom.

the device will feature a set of 4 8-bit i/o ports. each bus can be put in input or output mode, buses set to input mode simply sample the bus periodically and update the 7 segment display with hex info (8 hex digits, which represent the data to/from the ports). output mode is fun. it will have a 20 key serial keypad with all 16 hex digits, and 4 function keys (enter, 2 nibble entry select, and another one, possibly for optional modes). this will allow you to enter data for all output ports. the data will be displayed on the display and updated on the bus with the enter key aside from the direct parallel interfaces. the serial i/o port will also allow direct interface for the keypad directly, or will allow 2-way communication with any device with a uart (i may use i2c instead, i haven't really decided). should be a nice little debug tool.

i can actually use this thing for putting test data into sram chips and the like. probibly even real time programming in machine code if one was so inclined. i can use the serial port for loading data from sd cards and writing it to memory/eeproms for example.

id be amazed if i actually manage to accomplish something other than a crappy prototype. i have completed a couple things though. my r/c receiver kinda works, the firmware needs some work though. its really underpowered, it can only source about an amp, for servos and motors, which isnt enough to do anything big, it needs a second regulator and some heat sinks. i still need to hammer the bugs out of my wireless gamepad as well. i deadbugged the whole thing and there is probibly some noise/decoupling issues. the output signal is noisy and i havent been able to make it work with the receiver board, despite the simpler packet structure, prolly a crc glitch.

the joystick of doom works but i need to source some high quality buttons. like those big round arcade buttons. im also considering widdling a new handle out of wood, or having one 3d printed, and getting rid of that old sidewinder handle. 3d printing really doesnt give me any tweak room, where wood does allow for some dremel work. cut it, saw it in half, hollow it out, drilling holes for buttons, triggers, hats, thumbsticks. and wrap the whole think in buck skin. most manly joystick ever. cost and lack of appropriate tools are really slowing this up.

my video board got to near production when i realized that my memory was a little slow and the mcu didnt have enough time to do the layer system i had planned, it didnt even have time to page in a line of pixels during the horizontal blanking period. so no point wasting a powerful (and expesnive) mcu like the atmega1284.  i decided to do composite instead of vga, using an an ad725 rgb to yuv ic, and an overclocked avr. similar configuration to a uzebox but with the hardware double buffer i had designed earlier. i also realized i want more memory. i was looking at a 120x90*8 screen resolution, and i could make it something like 256x128*8 with more ram. the new design will only use the onboard mcu to twiddle addresses, and generate sync pulses. all drawing will be done with another processor, so no hard restrictions on how drawing can be done (it could be vector/raster/mixed/whatever, you're essentially writing into ram). or i could dedicate the second mcu entirely to low level drawing calls.

anyway i decided to step back from that and do something that is less timing sensitive. ive already started my hex display dohicky in eagle cad. its a fight to make sure that i can run the whole thing with as few pins as possible. i need to get it down to 18 pins so im multiplexing the **** out of everything. im considering using 8 identical shift registers for output4 for i/o ports and 4 for the 7 segment display. the displays are 2 digit with a common anode for each digit. i realized that using the 3-8 decoder had a major drawback, i still need driver transistors, and the duty cycle for any digit would be 1/8 or less. but using 4 shift registers i only need 2 banks of 4, getting the duty cycle up to slightly less than 1/2. all these shift registers share a clock and uses an entire mcu io port, but the good news is i can use the entire io (really just the o, input is routed through a series of buffers into a common piso shift regester, so they may be sampled one at a time independant of output) port and shift in the data simultaneously. i wanted to use universal shift registers or a latched bus tranciever, so one chip covers both jobs of input and output instead of 2. , but they were kind of expensive to source from the chinese people on ebay.

ive been long considering some kind of tech blog, but last time i tried that it degenerated into a soapbox for preaching my hatred for humanity and why it needs to be destroyed.

i found a half burned out 7 segment display in my junk box and im testing it for power consumption, and brightness at various duty cycles. also learning about the shift register im using. its a 74hc595. it has a bunch of features that i dont really need (like output latches, 3 state outputs), but this particular chip is dirt cheap on ebay (5 for $0.99 and free shipping to boot), and so i have several of them. it seems most of the features can be switched off though, so i can keep my interface pincount somewhat low. my project will use a lot of these and i need to verify that my pin count is n+2 (where n is the number of chips, and +2 are shared control pins, driving an entire bank), more pins will require a bigger mcu and im trying to avoid having to buy an $8 mcu just for the extra pins, and i really dont want to have to source more parts if i can use my current inventory.

anyway i hooked the still working pins of the 7 segment display (i burned out a couple segments testing it, and just bypassed those with similar rated red leds), found a large number of 120 ohm resistors to keep the segments from burning out, shift register, and some pullup/down resistors for the unused pins to keep the chip happy. i hooked the whole thing up to my arduino for now, and will now hack together some code for testing.

welp i got my single digit 7 segment display working on this shift register (except for the segment that burned out and the one that seemed to burn out while i was testing it, i bypassed these connections with red leds and those work fine). looks like i can do n+2 with this particular ic. so with only 10 pins i can drive all 8 shift registers. i could probibly use even fewer pins if i cascade the registers. im also rather impressed with the fact that even with a 10% duty cycle the display is still quite bright, which means i can really reduce current draw. the circuit also runs cooler now, it was a small heater before when i was doing a 1/4 cycle.  giving this information im just going to power the displays in 2 banks, so 2 transistors will switch these on and off and provide the necessary current.  this ads another 2 pins to the 10 from before. with cascading i can get it down to 5 pins.

still another pickle ive run into is the number of current limiting resistors i will need. 32 to be precise. ive seen resistor bars for bus pullups/downs and other stuff like this, which have a common ground/vcc pin and multiple resistor pins. i will need to order some of those. while i have a large number of 120 ohm resistors i doubt i have 32 of them, and if i did wouldn't squander them all on one project. after some tweaks in eagle cad im also starting to not like my chip count. i might go back to the one shift register for all 8 displays, and use that 3-8 decoder and 8 transistors, and also only 8 resistors. after all the pins saved on the output section of the circuit, thanks to cascading will allow it. and the display test shows that a 7 segment display is reasonally bright with duty cycles around 1/8th. update the shift registers fast enough and you probibly wont be able to tell than only one display is on at any given time. so i can drop 2 ics. im still not happy with my input though. it might be better to just use 4 piso shift registers instead of 1 piso and 4 buffers, i can dump another chip that way, and cascade them to reduce the pin usage. i would have to disable the outputs while i scan the inputs. this is easy to do. but i would rather not disturb the outputs unless im writing new data, end even then its a pretty quick switch.

you can probibly tell that im designing this thing as i post about it. so yea, thats it for now. the **** ive learned in the past 4 hours have really simplified my project. i might even get away with using the 2313 i had intended to use with the keypad, but thats a fairly cheap mcu. it also has 2 uarts iirc, so it would give my project an extra com port for keypad, and for the later project, sd reader, for transferring files over the parallel buses and into what ever piece of chip i need them in.

Most I've ever been awake for was 52 hours. If I was doing something that required moving I'd have been able to go longer but I was just debugging a project for my data structures + algorithms class. I'd doze off in the time that it would take to type `fg #' and look for the line of the program that the bug was on, so I gave up. Granted, I hadn't had any caffeine from about hour 40 on so that may have had something to do with it too.

I'd have thought this experience would make just one all-nighter seem easy but honestly I haven't been able to do one since. I can get to 7:00am all right but by then I start to get so uncomfortable that I need to take a nap or something.

Post by: Nuke on April 16, 2012, 04:43:58 am
yay! i made some progress on my hex dohickey. i found enough mosfets in my junk box to drive the displays. these are needed because the 3-8 line decoder can only supply 30ma, where the 7 segment display can eat up to 300 ma. the mosfets i have can handle about 400ma, so a good margin of error. the line decoder turns 8 pins into 4 pins (or 3 pins if i want to keep one on at any given time, but i want to be able to turn them all off so i can tweak the duty cycle, to change brightness or reduce power consumption).

all my shift registers are now cascaded. in two banks, one for input using 4 74hc165 piso shift registers. these are simple and dont come with any latches. but input data need not be sampled quickly (though i may make it possible to record whats going on with the bus to an sd card). usually these will only need to be sampled relatively infrequently (on the order of ms), so as to update the display. though i could probibly do a high speed capture mode in software.

the other for outputs, 5 74hc595 sipo shift registers (with output latches), 4 for each port and one for the displays. for the 4 ports the output latches come in handy. when you load the shift register one bit at a time, these registers are invisible to the outside pins, they have their own flipflops (memory), so when i cycle one of the clocks, it copies the shift register to this memory, which means you can update all the pins simultaneously instead of one at a time instead of one at a time. this chip also has an output enable pin to put the outputs into a high impedance state, effectively disconnecting them. this provides a mechanism for switching the port from input to output mode. of course the output ports can be read while outputting data, so that data may be verified (yay another feature to write code for!). this will help debug any noise i may have on any bus i am analyzing.

these features aren't really used for the chip used to update the 7 segment displays. i simply tie the output enable to ground (its active low) so outpit is always on, and the latch enable shares a toggle with the other 4 chips and i can just update them all with one line. the outputs of this chip is connected to all the displays in parallel. the common annodes are connected to the source pin of a set of 8 n-channel mosfets, one for each display, and the drain pin is connected to my 5v line. and the gates are each hooked to a pin in the 3-8 line decoder. the value on the 3 input lines (a binary number from 0-7) determines which of the 8 transistors is switched on (and there is a 4th pin to turn them all off), and thus which display is getting power, and the data output on the shift register tells it what to display.

the mcu will spend most of its time shifting redundant data into and out of shift registers, and a little bit of time incrementing the value for the line decoder. i really dont need a lot of cpu power or memory for this task, so i want to use the cheapest and least powerful chip possible. not to say i dont want any other features. i was thinking about alternate functions for the thing. debugging busses is one thing but i can use it for general output tasks. i can output binary, decimal and hex data. i also worked out a way to display the english alphabet. though with some substitutions, as some characters cant be displayed on a 7 segment display, like 'k' or 'x' (youd need an alphanumeric display for that), so i use different symbols to represent those letters. i cant do caps and lowercase, so it will be a jumble of whatever will work. also a small set of punctuation characters and brackets and the like. it would need to be a scrolling marquee type display to display more than a couple words.

my most recent run was about a day and a half. thats on top of the long day i had before i got on. i was on the long ferry ride from juneau through sitka and to petersburg, onboard the malispina iirc. i got on sometime in the afternoon, after spending the day working and smoking dope. i tried sleeping but the vibration from the ships engines kept me awake. i did some programming, played games, and spent the entire night in the bar sipping on alaskan beer (we actually have some of the best beer in the us, i think, i used to live across the creek from the brewery). when the bar closed i sat out on deck for an hour, it was in the fall i think (there were no tourists, only locals), so it was cold and dark, it started to rain so i went back in. in the morning i went and got breakfast in the galley, i played more games and went back for lunch, figuring that i would fall asleep before dinner. i watched a movie, but i forget which one. i wanted to go to the bar again but i spent all my cash on food. when i got home it was 3 am, and i had to walk a couple miles to my house, after about 52 hours of sleep deprivation. on the way home the asphalt shimmered in the darkness. the only noise were the wheels on my duffelbag, i kept seeing things out the corner of my eye and they would disapear if i looked at them. not quite tripping balls but damn close. i came in, dropped my bag said hi to the cats plopped down in my bed, i think i slept lke 16 hours after that.

 :D Maybe sometime. Part of why I stopped posting was I'd stopped playing FreeSpace. I still have all the vanilla .vps backed up on a network drive, so some day I'll come back to it. Not in the immediate future, though.

It's really not very FS at all, which is why I recommended it.

Instead it's a Space Sim by way of Gunbuster or (insert anime with space stuff here).

you've got a funny way of spelling star control 2

While its references to Star Control 2 are numerous, it doesn't actually share much in terms of visual aesthetics or gameplay, so I thought it better to describe functional characteristics.

I meant that as all inclusive of the various mods and stuff here. Just not into space sims as much lately. Been playing a lot of FPS and strategy.

EDIT: Just noticed that 'Kick Ass' thing. Man, that's fun!  :lol:

I've yet to figure out why someone saw the need to make an American version of Top Gear.  I think just about everyone watches it for the original hosts in the first place.

first skim session of the season was a moderate success.  conditions sucked, but i didn't fail horribly like i figured i was going to after so much time off and rather stiff legs from the weekend. 

now i'm tired and have to stay up all night.  i just got kicked back to the deckplate on third shift for an unspecified length of time while the government swims through the bureaucracy and bean counting of trying to send us to our next training phase.  this was supposed to basically be a week off for us.

I meant the UK one, with the India roadtrip. I actually think the American one is finally starting to get good, though still nowhere near the UK show.

I love being able to say random **** and nobody pays much attention to it
Ever wonder what is considered an act of homosexuality or heterosexuality? I mean, sex with a transvestite. Homo or Hetero? Then we come to a hermaphrodite. Homo or Hetero? I suppose it'd just be easier to say bisexual and be done with it, but that's no fun. Imagine it being on a scale; Which side would it lean more to?

My math, english, science, and history courses. They are all in the high 80s or low 90s. Coupled with the 100s and 99s in my Animation, Gym, and PLTW class, I get a pretty good average. Good enough that I don't worry about my grades.

An object lesson in why realism in a work is sometimes bad: I've just read something that truly captures the essence of young-teens-in-love.

Congratulations Mura/IAZ!

I found out this morning that the specialist report first sent on my behalf regarding my peanut allergy resulted in me being reclassified to Class 4: permanently unfit for military service. This report however took my allergy out of context and said that I required an epipen, which I don't at all. I have a second specialist report to pick up tomorrow from another more sane doctor which I'll use to form the basis of my appeal on (peanut allergies ARE allowed, just not severe ones AFAIK).

I'm hoping the appeal goes through but if not, I'm not under any circumstances willing to enter a civilian career pathway. Studying abroad at a US College and applying to enter an AFROTC program (which medically I should be eligible for since my kind of allergy doesn't even require a waiver under US medical guidelines) is suddenly looking like less of a dream and more like a goal. The financial aspect my parents are willing to help out with (they were paying $20k AUD per year for my high school so I may be able to pay the balance out of my own part-time income) but college-wise I've got some work to do finding one.

According to Woody Allen, being bisexual doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night. :) Dunno if that's actually true, though.

I would say that it would fall under masturbation, but under a far more pleasurable instance
After, there are few who can successful attempt autofellatio, but those who can do so because a mouth is far better than a hand

If it was a clone, it wouldn't be masturbation nor incest. It'd just be sex... with yourself
Afterall, he isn't directly related to you, even if he is... you. He's a clone of you, far from being you considering he was genetically created rather than being born from the same mother.
That point would differ it from being incest
And masturbation is a solo act

Anyone try sucking their own dick before?

After helping my mom clear enough space on the old desktop to defrag it (need at least 15% free space), I discovered that my laptop is set to automatically defrag every Wednesday at 1am. Awesome?



Also, how the **** do I solve a quartic equation?

Given two unit vectors a and b which are orthogonal, let g = a cos θ + b sin θ.

Let z1 = g · (some vector), and z2 = g · (some other vector)

The equation has the following terms (with scalar coefficients):

z14
z13
z12
z1
z12 * z2
z1 * z2
z2
1

And I've got to solve for θ (although solving for g, or for z1 and z2 will be enough that I can solve for θ in terms of that) :(

What is the geometric interpretation of θ here?  I drew a diagram with a, b as orthogonal unit vectors from the origin, b leads a by 90° (CCW), with θ being the rotation angle from the +x axis to a.  That leads to some pretty interesting behavior for the function g.  For instance if θ is zero then g = a, if θ = 45° then g is a unit vector along the +y axis.

I'm not easily following the transition from g to the equation with z1, etc.

Edit:  Also, what is this for?  Looks like a fairly tough problem.

Wat. g(θ) is just a unit circle in the plane containing a and b.

And z1 and z2 are the dot products of g with some vectors, i.e. if I call those vectors c and d, then

z1 = a · c cos θ + b · c sin θ
z2 = a · d cos θ + b · d sin θ

And ultimately the equation has the form:

z14 * k1 + z13 * k2 + z12 * k3 + z1 * k4 + z12 * z2 * k5 + z1 * z2 * k6 + z2 * k7 + k8 = 0

Where kn are some scalar coefficients the derivation of which is probably unimportant.

really pissed off right now.  don't EVER buy a seagate external drive.  their suckness goes beyond simply corrupting half the data you try to put on it and generally being a pain in the ass to get working.  this one is actively ****ing up my computer.  i can no longer share any folders, peerblock won't start because apparantly some services got deleted,  and when the drive is connected restarting results in a hang at the BIOS screen.

unfortunately i didn't think about the possibility of having to return this drive, and began deleting the files off of my normal drive as i verified the copies on the external uncorrupted (a process that took many hours over a few days).  now i have to do the whole thing again in reverse.  for about 500 GB of stuff.  and some of it is just plain gone, because i had already done a few transfers before i realized i was getting corruption and the originals are gone.  i just have multiple corrupted copies now.

if anyone has experience with this kind of bull****, please do tell.  i'm not putting much faith in seagate support, and even if it is a defective drive, a new one isn't going to fix what this one already broke in windows.

i went with this because i found a 3TB for $130, and from what i could tell from online reviews, seagate and WD had pretty much equally poor ratings.  i never expected for a goddamn external hard drive to be able to get into windows and **** it up though.  it's just a fking storage drive, how did it DO THAT?!?!?!

and i just found out that i only have ONE restore point saved, and it's from this morning.  so there goes that plan.  the only thing i can think of now is dig out my windows disk and do a repair install.  never done that on 7 before, i really hope i don't end up wiping my drive.  if that happens, i may just go to every best buy in the area and one by one exchange, break, exchange, break every drive they have in stock.  and then send the last one in for warranty.

my thought was there's not much point in worrying about what brand you get, because drives are pretty much the same across the board, and you're occasionally going to get a lemon from anyone. 

clearly, there is something else going wrong for this one though.  or i have an extremely coincidental random, unprovoked failure of windows.  which i guess wouldn't be unheard of.  but even googling the exact error messages for the windows bits doesn't yield any solutions.

I had a certain Seagate 1.5 TB external start randomly hanging and making suspicious clicking noises a few months after I started using it.  The thing's been sitting in my room for the better part of a year; I really need to go through the bother of RMA'ing it one of these days.

by about 2k4 Seagate wasn't too bad, they had nailed down making average spec drives with a acceptable reliability, cheep, my current HDD is Seagate (i think) but they used to be terrible back in the day, my dad was working for a company that serviced 3 year extended warranties for a popular insurer at the time as well as a well known electronics retailer and late 90s early 2000s he was replacing several Seagate per week, though when Western Digital started filtering though they were worse.  I dont know anything about their external drives to comment specifically on that though.

I second that. I've got a Maxtor 250GB drive for backing up my computer, and it's only plugged in for when I back up my computer, or occaisonally when I move my manual file archives onto it. I actually got it as I only heard bad things about WD back in the day...

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on April 20, 2012, 11:38:46 pm
Maxtor was assimilated by Seagate years ago, and from my experience, neither company is capable of manufacturing a hard disk, back in 2000, that could last beyond 7 years. All the Maxtor hard drives my family's previous computers used clicked to death during the 4th year, and the only Seagate hard drive we ever had clicked off on the 7th.

The MacBook I'm using now runs everything off a Hitachi hard drive, and it has been for just over 5 years, so I'm interested to see how long it lasts before it snuffs it.

I also think a thread split may be in order if we're going to keep on talking about hard drives.

Caffine is like an energy catylist - it doesn't give you energy, it just makes it make the reaction quicker.

That said, you may need to eat more foods packed with calories and starches.

Sugars are more or less instant energy, and enters the bloodstream faster if you let it dissolve in your saliva.

Starches last longer than sugars, but that's because they metabolize fairly slowly.

That said, whatever "energy" your actually getting from those caffeinated drinks is mostly from the sugars.

It's like geometry hates me this month.

I'm trying to find the intersection of two tubes (cones or cylinders) and a plane... up until today I had been trying to do it as intersect(intersect(tube 1, tube 2), plane)... today I realized I could instead do it as intersect(intersect(tube 1, plane), intersect(tube 2, plane))... express each tube-plane intersection as some quadratic with two variables, i.e. Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + Exy + F = 0.

Well, I was able to do that, but when I tried to solve for the intersection of two of those... quadrics again. I ****ing hate quadrics :mad:

It kinda reminds me of the state of the Star Trek community at the time of the Stupid Movie Involving Romulans Whose Name Must Not Be Invoked. Few fans actually possessing a brain and the rest a horde of stupid vermin who who frothed at the mouth and went rabid each time someone criticized their "special thing", and went to the length of lying in order to "prove" that other Science Fiction was inferior to Star Trek.

Agreed; bronies make me uncomfortable, but I wouldn't go that far.

No opinion on bronies or on the show, since I've never seen it, but some of the other grad students, including at least one guy and at least one girl, assure me that it's well-made and entertaining and all that sort of thing.

We introduced Naginata in Kendo tonight.  Our head instructor, myself and a couple others have been curriculum building it for a while now on Fridays but this was the first time presenting it to the whole class.  Went very well I think, of course being one of the instructors meant I had to be the hitting dummy for the others.  Having your Kote (gauntlets) struck in Naginata is not fun in the best situation, being hit repeatedly by people who are learning with bad accuracy means my forearms are going to be all sorts of interesting shades of black and blue tomorrow.  Still the a small price for awesome.

We went to see Lock Out afterward.  I will say Guy Pearce did a pretty good job as a jerkass action hero, the rest of it was Oh Wow Terribad.  Like painfully abused logic and science, I think there should be a war crimes trial at the Hague regarding it.  Still got to hang with the crew and it provided excellent fodder for witty banter.

Overall a great night.

I do indeed have the option, my Aussie university's changed tack this year and is trying to offer a 'broad-education' (in addition to making me stay on another 2 years for post-grad if I want to do ANYTHING, borrowing from the US system), and so I have one degree-specific unit, one for my second major, an elective (which has been chosen for me as Introduction to Communications because I'm a Polsci major) and a 'broadening unit', of which I was able to choose CALCULUS.

But to make it compulsory seems silly to me - what would knowing how to integrate some dirty **** help with an arts degree?

while for the most part I would agree with giving your other half a free reign, weapons, drugs, explosives, religious material and a few others, are special cases as there are justifiable moral reasons. 

In this case does your legal right to carry a weapon override the fact that the person you have feelings for is uncomfortable with them? that's a question only Veers can answer in this case.  I agree its **** that the decision has to be made and Veers has my sympathy for that, but that is also life, and doesn't mean by itself she is a *****.

If you're going to buy diesel-electrics, buy Swede. They have really good ones. (Although the German Type 212 isn't a bad design either.)

If you have to buy nuclear, I think only France has ever sold theirs. (There is a possibility we might be convinced to part with some early LAs, though?)

Looking for a place to live over the summer using craigslist is oh so much fun. Sure, the sketchy listings are easy to spot, and often entertaining the first time you see them, but they tend to repeat and get old after that. I also have no interest in ones like "looking for a gay/male roommate": if the requirement in the title didn't tip you off, the request for you to send them a picture of yourself should. The really annoying ones, though, are those that look good until at the bottom of the listing it says "female preferred" or even "female only." At least some people are nice enough to list that in the title instead of my having to read the listing to find that out.

Besides, expressing those kinds of housing preferences/requirements is illegal in the U.S. (http://www.craigslist.org/about/FHA), although many of the ads do it, anyway. Taking the listings that interested me but excluded my type and flagging them as prohibited is all I can do to get back at the people who listed them, although I think it takes some number of flaggings before the listing actually gets taken down. Besides, not only would flagging discriminatory housing listings be a full-time job, if they all actually got taken down, there'd be hardly anything left.

I recorded audio at a small concert for a local band tonight. While there I obtained a meal. Said meal consisted of curried chicken salad, which was yummy, some watermelon and strawberry, which were very yummy, and a bit of some sort of cake.

five hours, one very enjoyable musical esperience, and forty minutes in the bathroom later...

I have decided to never eat curried chicken again. Gleh.

I finally got multisphere-multisphere collision detection working! Also response!

Next on the agenda: prevent rigid bodies from interpenetrating.

Mind out of the gutter, people.

The algorithm might consist of a two phase collision check, with the first pass a fairly quick comparison of three distances and the second pass a more detailed approach.

I'm thinking that each object could have a constant geometric radius that is equal to the distance between the object's origin and the vertex (of the same object) that is the furthest away from the origin.

The first pass checks for possible collisions between two objects by computing the sum of the radii between two objects. If the sum is greater than or equal to the distance between their 3D origins, the two objects are marked as having a possible collision and added to the second pass's list. The objects are also marked somehow so that the algorithm doesn't add them to the list multiple times, perhaps by adding a "collided with" member list to each object class. If the two objects have already been marked as colliding with each other, then that means they're already on the second pass's list.

The second pass then does the matrix calculations, and makes sure the volumes do not interpenetrate. If they do, then the algorithm calculates the geometric center of the union of the two object's volumes, as well as the overall displacement of the union. These will be later used by the physics engine to calculate the moment forces and moment torques that need to be applied to both colliding objects.

At least, that's whats off the top of my head right now.

Was browsing the forums a couple days ago and saw what appeared to be faint dark blue text on the sides of the screen.  Blinked and scrolled and it disappeared.  Thought I must be hallucinating.  Then it came back -- oh yeah, that's display corruption allright!  Video card definitely dying.  So I replaced it with a new and better one.  Pathetic 128MB card is now 2GB.  Also upgraded the power supply from 305W to 500W.

In short, hooray, my display is no longer fubared and I can play games on higher settings now. :)

Not so much because the system was slowing down, though it was showing some initial signs of  boot bloat; but more to force me to re-organize my files and get rid of the random software I install, hardly use, but hate to uninstall in case I need it.

Yes, I'm kinda lazy when it comes to keeping my system/files organized  :P

Currently digging through manufacturer's forums and documentation to figure out how to calculate the MC9S12's Real-Time Interrupt period.

I know that it uses the external 16MHz crystal for a source clock, and that the period is determined by a math equation with two user definable variables - Prescalar and Modulus. My initial calculations done in MS Excell are not agreeing with the IDE's MCU tool, and I'm not sure who's wrong as of yet.

Edit: I've figured out that the MCU Tool is in error, and my initial calculations are indeed correct. Goodie.  :rolleyes:

As The E and Battman alluded, the artists who create works for the site do so as a form of tribute to the originals, and as a way of encouraging people to check out game music as a whole.  They certainly don't claim that their reinterpretations are superior to the originals, but there's something to be said about finagling songs into completely-different genres, especially when you're talking about the blips and bloops of 8-bit tracks.  There's a lot of really excellent stuff on the site (as well as some meh, but hey, law of averages), so I highly encourage taking a look around and seeing if anything catches your fancy.

Actually, it's quite good
Very sweet, so if you like sweet things... you might end up drinking more than you intended to
Goes excellent over ice cream as well (Like Grand Marnier and strawberries)

Haven't mixed it with anything, but my best bet would mix fruity with fruity. Afterall, Southern Comfort is peach flavoured, and most recipes they have on their website lean towards more fruit
Lemonade being one of them

But of course, Ginger Ale seems to go well with everything... can't go wrong

What's your opinion of Southern Comfort? May give it a try this Friday night.

When I had it, I thought SoCo was too... soft.  Too mild.  If that's what you're looking for, it sure doesn't have the bite of most other drinks (at least the ones I've had).

Which ones have you had?

SoCo, Jäger, Cap'n Morgan, Barton's (vodka), UV (vodka), three didn't kinds of flavored vodka I don't remember the name of (with specific flavors of apple, birthday cake, and orange cream), tequila, everclear, and some kind of whiskey I don't remember the name of,

Alright, Everclear isn't something that has bite. It's caustic
Anything with that much alcohol content belongs in hospitals
Birthday Cake flavoured vodka? That's a first I've heard of that
Tequila is always good

Not a bad list. Only thing I'd consider to have bite though is Everclear. That'll be the only drink alongside Vodka (paint thinner smell puts me off, and it tastes like ****) that I'll never touch
Surprised there wasn't any scotches listed.


You know, I've got nothing better to do...
Everyone recommend me a liquor, and I shall try it and give a full report
I'll concoct some for Red Label, Crown Royal, Grand Marnier, and SoCo later this evening

It'll probably be a weekly, or Bi-Weekly thing (depending how long it takes me to get through a 375mL container of it

So I have money in my account, both my account balance on the ATM and my internet banking account tell me this. Yet when I try to draw out any, the ATM tells me that I have insufficent funds to do so even when I choose to take out less than what I have in there. I also get the same thing when I tried to use it over the counter.

How the **** am I going to get to college in time for class today if I can't even buy a bloody bus pass. I could walk, but it'd take me over an hour and I'd get there when my last class finishes.

I should have said this before, but I have no money aside from what's in my account. Money that I can't get to for some reason.

Angry email has been sent. If it was just one shop, I could accept it as a glitch with their card reader. A shop AND an ATM? A bit unlikely, but it's happened before. But two ATMs and three shops? Not bloody likely.

If they don't sort it out soon, the **** will hit the fan.

It goes without saying that something that is bad isn't always good, while something good is always good

I'll stick to my "cheap" vodka & rum. $15-20 for 750mL of Absolut or Svedka or Bacardi Superior. We can stomach it without becoming ill. And if 3 shots puts you on your ass, you need to (1) eat more & (2) drink more. When I weighed 130 lbs, it took 8-10 drinks to do me bad (depending on the booze).

Anyways, I'm going to an airsoft game this weekend. Leaving at 5AM. Now's probably a good time to pack & go to bed.

Popov: $10 for 1.75L
Svedka: $14 for 750mL
Absolut: $18 for 750mL
Bacardi Superior: $20 for 750mL

Prices based upon my last memory. There's plenty of really cheap stuff, but I consider anything below about $25 for 750mL (80 proof) to be "cheap". Basically because I wouldn't go much lower than Svedka no matter the drink.

Review time:
Red Label Johnny Walkers

It's the low end of the Johnny Walker's line, but that isn't to say it tastes like ****. For two twenties, you can have yourself a 750mL bottle of the better scotches out there. What makes it an excellent price to flavour purchase? Just by itself, it goes down smooth, with a slight burn that feels good rather than eating through your throat sensation. Mixed, it goes quite well with Canada Dry Ginger Ale giving you that sweet flavour while not completely dominating the scotch itself. Haven't tried it with coke, but I'd imagine it to be far too strong (the coke) leaving you with a hint of the flavour.

Personally, having it neat on the rocks is the better choice here. Scotch wasn't meant to be mixed, it was meant to be had by itself. It isn't something to inhaled, but enjoyed.

If you have a cigar, smoke it on a patio for bonus points

:ick: Red Label is in the lowest spot on the scotch whisky totem pole. It's the stuff you mix with coke for people who don't like scotch. Honestly, spend the money and get something decent. I'm talking single malt, minimum 12 years old. I'm a lowlands man myself, with an occasional desire for a bit of smoke (Islay). Grab a bottle of Auchentoshan 3 Wood or Glenkinchie 12 YO. worth the extra money so many times.

Oh, and as for Bacardi, definitely nasty stuff. Tastes like Glue. The Havana Club White is pretty much the standard that White rums need to aspire to (or beat), and it's relatively cheap as well. Find a bottle and never look back (especially you Dilmah, it used to be hard to find, but it's all over Perth these days).

Indeed true. Then again, if someone doesn't like Scotch, why are they requesting a drink with Scotch in it? That's something I'll look into though. I've always dreamed of having Single Malt before, but it's not like I'm bleeding through the ears with cash (and I'm trying to not look like an alcoholic... albeit perhaps too late at this point)

On that note though, in order to appreciate the higher end, you need to start at the lowest point. If you start at the top, you wouldn't of had the chance to build up to it. My next bottle of scotch will most likely be Blue Label. Of course, I need to finish that liqueur first

I stick to beer myself, mostly.  I hate the burn of raw ethanol that seeps into hard stuff, or at least the lower grades of them.

Bleh. I prefer spirits myself, though that might be due to my generation drinking 90% .Vol spirits as if water.

I think your reviews are great as they are, just the right blend of practicality, class, and humour to make them enjoyable reading. Hell, I would subscribe to your alcomohols thread if you started one. Would also be interested to see what your opinion on Canadian Club is, as it's currently my favourite beverage when going out, but I'm not really a man to appreciate anything with serious bite. :P

Canadian Club eh
Alright, will have to write that down

As for making a thread, I'm think having a few more things going would be better before attempting something full fledged


Sidenote: This is more directed at Black Wolf - It also helps in establishing a base line, and saying "one of the better ones" was in hindsight, the wrong comment to make. Will have to watch out for that in later instances

I'd curse goober, but at this point I think the classics policy is obviously self-defeating; waiting a few months after it's over to move the thread means nobody will remember the thread, and nothing will get moved.

Indeed.  Honestly, the policy to wait a certain amount of months makes little sense anyway, as if the thread is in contention for a place in the Classics, it's not going to get much better, and it's arguably not going to get much worse unless it turns into people arguing about the Classics policy.  Which it usually does.

The power socket on my laptop is starting to break down, just last night I discovered that I have to "jiggle it just right" in order to make a good contact and keep the laptop powered.

This is a particularly bad thing, since my laptop is my primary work computer... and the battery it came with is not suited for durations longer than 45 minutes or so.

Might crack her open later this week and take a look at it. Might be able to order a replacement socket online and solder it right in.

EDIT: On checking, it appears three things have been added, but one was considerably older than that. It's been around for years. This is not in the least representative of what things of major interest have happened in that time, like the return of Derek Smart.

Took the SATs on Saturday. By far one of the easiest tests I've taken.  :P I got to use 'Sesquipedalian loquaciousness' on the essay portion, and I knew what 'laconic' meant due to TV Tropes. The hardest part was when I had to copy down the 'I did not cheat' paragraph in cursive; I was home schooled for the part of 3rd grade when I was supposed to learn that.

Not necessarily, some people I know can't write anything readable in print OR cursive.

Cursive > Print for the sole fact that you can flow directly from one letter to the next without lifting your pen, pencil, etc.

Well, it turns out research shows that notes taken by hand has a higher probability of being remembered than typed notes.

And no, lecture notes are not "finished" material. You have to go back through them later (preferabbly the same day as the lecture) so that you can sort through the mess and compile something readable. This also increases the chance of remembering/understanding, because your rewording the lecture into something you really understand.

This is probably an example of recall specific modality as well as one of processing/encoding fluency. Most tests are taken by hand, so you get mode specific recall on notes transcribed by hand. (Some of it is also probably that you spend more time on each word and sentence while handwriting, so you get a processing fluency effect.)

I always did handwritten notes because I thought they helped me a lot more on tests.

There are people under age 50 who actually still write in cursive?  I know it's still taught in school, but I always chalked that up to the requirement to fill a certain portion of early education with useless archaic **** you'll never need in the real world and thereby avoiding teaching useful things, like how to do your personal banking, balance a budget, fix things around the house, etc.

Most people's printing is incomprehensible enough.  I suspect cursive was invented solely so no one can actually figure out what their prescription says.

When I have to write, I use cursive.
When I have to be read, I use print.
When I have to write fast, I use cursive.

To be honest, I'm affraid that learning to write print fast is going to deteriorate its quality over time, thus losing the only advantage it gives me over cursive. That and I don't have that many occasions when I have to write stuff that needs to be read by someone else afterwards.
In any case, women seem to have an easier time reading me than men (in cursive), not sure why ...

it would take me FAR longer to write something in cursive due to making sure it's even the least bit readable, and stopping to remember how to do some of the letters.  i didn't finish that paragraph in the time allotted when i took my SAT.  i had to go back when i finished other sections early.

Review Time:
Southern Comfort (Okay, this one I had fun with)

Short form description, it's a Peach flavoured Whiskey type drink. Initially, I was thinking less of a liqueur, more a whiskey drink when I first heard of it. Turns out, this liqueur goes with pretty much anything you have to put it in. Glass with ice? You're good to go. Ginger Ale? Not bad. Tea? Quite good. Rootbeer? Drinking that right now. Milk? Why the hell not. Ice cream? Orgasm

When it first hits your tongue, your mouth is enveloped in a sweet peach flavour with a hint of anything else. The alcohol (35%) is hardly detectable which is a very dangerous quality. I found myself pouring away into a glass without really measuring, taking a healthy (well, define healthy) gulp, and not tasting much other than flavour. Basically, Southern Comfort is an aftertaste flavour. It doesn't take over the mixed drink allowing for a blend of the two flavours instead of it drastically changing the outcome. In Ginger Ale, you'll first encounter the ginger taste, followed by a blend of the two, and the aftertaste of the drink itself.

Now what about other liqueurs or alcoholic beverages? Grand Marnier (orange cognac) and SoCo compliment eachother well due to them both being a fruit flavour. Best way to have this is to add it to more fruity drinks or teas (I personally used Strawberry Paraiso Tea, not bad at all). Afterall, you can't go wrong adding fruits to fruits. Unless you look at Congress

With Scotch (Red Label, all I had), it didn't work out as well as it could have just by themselves. Mixed on the other hand, it worked a lot better (scotch first to take over your tastebuds, followed by the gingerale, and then SoCo). This begs the question as to why you'd even bother though, followed by a few raised eyebrows

On a personal level, my favourite thing to do with this was to add it to vanilla ice cream along with sliced strawberries. Just don't let the alcohol sit too long in your bowl... it has a tendency to melt the ice cream quite quickly


Also, don't tell people about this combination. They call you an alcoholic

Today I came home from another final exam feeling pretty good.

I wanted to make sure I knew where and when my final exams were.  I checked the syllabus I had for one class, World Civilizations I, and it had the date and time, which was tomorrow at 8 am, just like it says on my university's class registration site or whatever.  It didn't have the location, so while I opened up my email I decided to look at the website for my class.  There I found a couple of links, each to a syllabus for the class.  One of them matched mine, but the other one had one difference: the exam date.  This one said it was *yesterday*, at the same time as the exam I had yesterday.  I don't know which one is newer, and I don't know which one is correct.  All the energy I have had from the past two days is gone.

I shot off an email to my professor but I'm fearing the worst.  edit2: Now that I think of it, neither syllabus actually says my instructor is actually a professor.


edit: I know I made this post only a minute ago but I got an email back...

It's tomorrow, and I stressed myself out over absolutely nothing haha.

Last 2. Not on my third one yet. My first was a 1993 Mazda MX-6. I loved that thing. Drove beautifully, looked impressive, never had a problem with it, and came into existence in the same year I did... unfortunately the guy that crashed into it tore off the back bumper, the back lights and damaged the chassis. The insurance company wouldn't repair it, so it was a write off. At least we got good money out of the payout.

My second (and current, though it appears it won't be for long) is a 1998 Toyota Corolla. Meh. It's dual fuel, running on both LPG and petrol (you guys call it gas, if memory serves), which means it is incredibly cheap to run. Pretty much the only reason I'll be sad to see it go is that it'll be more cash out of my pocket to keep whatever replacement I get filled up. It's stalling when I clutch in, overheating if I drive for longer than about half an hour... that sort of thing. We're going to be replacing the thermostat on the weekend to see if that's the problem, but I'm going to start looking out for something to replace it with. Not sure how I'm even going to sell this thing to anyone.

That dual fuel sounds interesting, I haven't seen anything like that in the US around where I'm at. Hopefully the new thermostat will fix the overheating problem, if not then you might need to check to see if the fan is working properly and then finally the microcontroller (they call it a computer sometimes, I disagree on the semantics).

What do you mean by "stalling when I clutch in?" Is it a Standard/Manual transmission?

The fan works, we've checked that. Haven't looked at the microcontroller though (I'm pretty sure we call it a computer actually, but microcontroller sounds cooler.)

It's a manual transmission, so by "clutch in" I meant when I push the clutch pedal in to change gears. Revs would dive down perilously close to zero, three times today actually getting there and resulting in awkward restarting of the car while people beeped at me.

Yeah, had similar thoughts when you mentioned the overheating issue, hopefully the thermostat helps (and it seems likely on a 98).

As for stalling on clutch-in, if it is a manual (in which case, damn you lucky bastard, my last car was one and I loved it, but I can't have one anymore as my girlfriend can't drive manual) get the fuel mix settings and the idle sensor checked. Could also be the sensor that controls fuel mix if its controlled by one. It sounds like it's running either a hair too rich or lean. My Saturn had a similar issue just before I sold it, when I was offered the car I have now; though I never bothered to fix it.

It's a microcontroller, because it controls the car's and engine behavior... and doesn't just compute numbers. :P

Wait wait, the rev's go down below the idle rpm when you disengage (push the pedal down) the clutch? The last time that happened to me, I had a bad alternator (and a nearly-dead battery) and essentially I had to get the engine to diesel in order to stay alive. I think I also had a sticky throttle valve, but some WD-40 cleared that up.

Eventful day
Headed out, caught a bus, forgot something at home, got off bus, ran home, got what I forgot, and then waited for another bus
That bus was supposed to head out at 2:25 (the previous being 2:00), but na. It decided to wait for a Ferry and headed out at 2:50 instead

So I was running late, or at least so I thought

Arrived at my favourite restaurant, and figured to grab a bite to eat. It was my original intention, and I was craving the **** out of a Thai Chicken Rollup
So I ordered one up. Then came more people. And then some more. I was in the booth, with no escape. I had my rollup, and enjoyed the hell out of it watching everyone else as they didn't have the food they ordered yet. Satisfied, I let them know I needed to get out.

Well, then came the shotty nots, and the argument about who had more on which side
Bah
**** it

I climbed on top of the table and off the other side leaving shocked and surprised faces behind me

Grabbed a bus, headed down to the meeting place where I was to see a good friend of mine. Myself and her then waited for some other fellow to join us, and have sushi. I'm not a fan of anything uncooked, so I chose the beef sushi.

Off to Marble Slab for Ice Cream

Then off to see the Avengers
Since... everyone else seemed to say it was awesome... had to see it for myself
Not bad of a movie

Automatics will stall out for a variety of reasons, but it's usually more to do with maintenance than operator error (unlike a manual, where the reverse holds true).  Dying fuel pumps are a major culprit; so's a dirty throttle body.  It probably has more to do with the car than what you were actually doing =)

My wife's '97 Dodge Neon (automatic) likes to stall out if left to idle after first starting when it's cold and wet outside, but it's been doing it intermittently for 5 years and no one can actually find anything wrong with it... and as it's a '97, I'm not paying for it to be taken apart to find out, given it only does it once every couple months, max, and it's slated for replacement in the next 1-2 years.

Gave WCS a try, got frustrated with the FL-style indirect mouse control. Installed patch but completely lost interest a mere few minutes later, stopped. (btw it's not because of something I didn't like about it or stuff like that. just lost interest for it completely out of the blue.)

Still the speed gauge that caught my attention the most, and yet that's something minor with respect to gameplay experience. Read some high number e.g. 500+ but keep the usual feeling of 75m/s ala FS without getting into some heavy discussion on the AI and other issues with crazy fast ships and aiming and etc etc etc.

Okay, now that is reminding me of Starlancer for some reason...

Gave WCS a try, got frustrated with the FL-style indirect mouse control. Installed patch but completely lost interest a mere few minutes later, stopped. (btw it's not because of something I didn't like about it or stuff like that. just lost interest for it completely out of the blue.)

Still the speed gauge that caught my attention the most, and yet that's something minor with respect to gameplay experience. Read some high number e.g. 500+ but keep the usual feeling of 75m/s ala FS without getting into some heavy discussion on the AI and other issues with crazy fast ships and aiming and etc etc etc.

Okay, now that is reminding me of Starlancer for some reason...

Been playing a freeware platformer/RPG called "Distorted Travesty".

Hilarious and very self-aware game. Gets really freaking hard, though.

Not as hard as I Wanna Be The Guy, but the last level is getting close at times.

I just got back from having a conversation with my cousin over a prison videolink. His release date was originally next year, but they have pushed it forward to this November. From now until then, he will be undergoing a rehabilitation course to re-integrate into society.

He's looking a lot better now, albeit somewhat aged, than during the two years before he was sent to prison for drug abuse.

Is rehab fairly effective over there for drug abusers? I would've thought a Judge would be very, very hesitant to chuck him in prison, with recidivism rates after that and all.

It seems to work to some extent, but then again, my cousin has been in and out of prison infrequently for the past twenty years. We still hope he'll eventually kick the habit and live a proper life.

Why does everyone insist on eating out on Mother's Day? Is there some stereotype that all mother's cook dinner, and the kids/father can't so they opt out and eat out?

More or less. The dad's either can't cook very well, and/or want to treat the mom's to something special. At any rate, it's good for the restaurant business!

crisis adverted! she chickened out at the last minute. which sucks cause i just cleaned up the house somewhat. on the other hand this gets me off the hook for not getting her anything for mothers day. moms a mixed up one alright, aside from being on the verge of becoming completely senile, she flipflops between extreme right wing anti-gay sentiment, to wanting to become a lesbian every time she crushes on some gal. its quite sad. meatballs of doom are still on but im not gonna make an event out of them. there is also the possibility that my sister will come to town to visit mom and that will likely **** over dinner, as i will have to feed 4.75 instead of 2. not the mention the damage to my now clean house, invalidating an entire 4 hours of work (and cleaning up everyone elses messes and/or urine), and theres noting i hate worse than having my work invalidated by inconsiderate ****tards.

Dohohoho...

My grandfather is a biologist, and taught the subject for many, many years in high school (not mine, mind you). He is quite adept in preparing mushrooms for consumption, and identifying which ones you should definately not eat. I particularly enjoyed looking through his guidebook (or one of them at least), which would indicate which mushrooms you should not operate machinery after consumption, for a few hours at least.

i prefer to eat in for a number of reasons:

1. i can cook better than most of the restaurants in this dinky town.
2. i dont like to eat in public.
3. im poor and cant afford it.

and frankly my mom cant cook worth a damn, as a result i started cooking when i was 15.

Besides being cheaper and healthier the ability to cook impresses the ladies(or whoever your romantic interest is).  Really its not that complex, get a cook book, start with some easy stuff, follow the instructions.  Eventually you get the hang of it and can improvise on your own and have fun.  There are quite a few things you can make on the fly that are simple and delicious.  Plus you know what your eating since you made it rather then whatever chemical waste dump used in processed crap.


Best of all you can dance around the stove feeling accomplished after you have successfully made food, like so:

timing is less critical than temperature it seems. most things can be off a few minutes in either direction. cooking in an old oven with a broken thermostat is next to impossible. the oven we got right now is ok, its a no frills unit, but it was actually made in my lifetime (i cant say that about some of the appliances ive used), so the thermostat and timer work great and the heat distribution is fairly good, which is all you really need. one tip for setting time is to set it a couple minutes short of the minimum cook time called for in the recipe. the point of the timer is to get your ass back into the kitchen for the endgame. for things like cookies or brownies a visual inspection is all you need, these are best removed while still soft. for cakes use the toothpick test. and for meat i use my meat thermometer. the timer just gets me to battlestations, so to speak. its done when its done, not when the timer beeps.

the internet is my cookbook. if i find a recipe i like, i keep it, tweak it, and save it in a text file, which i fill with useful annotations and variations. a lot of recipes lack some serious detail.

but the thing i like most about doing it yourself and avoiding boxed foods, is you save a ****ton of cash. most of the time its better than anything in a box. **** healthier, better food means you eat more food. couple years ago i was baking cookies like a couple times a week, maintaining a full cookie jar. i had to cut that out cause i was getting fat. i have the same issues during pie season (you know the holidays). id set out to make 2 pies and end up with 6 due to some gross miscalculations. general cooking is a lot healthier though. i learned to make some badass stir fries, which arent too bad if you use fresh produce. but im cheap and i use those bags of stirfry veggies and some chicken/pork/beef/deer/lamb/bear/fish/squirrel/duck/grouse/peoplemeat, and some sauce of my own creation (usually a mad concoction of worcestershire and soy sauces, with some sugar, ginger and 5 kinds of pepper). asian cooking is an accomplishment in its own right. i also make a lot of mexican food cause its cheap.

Just finished playing Distorted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAZuJjlu0K0) Travesty (http://distortedtravesty.blogspot.com/).

Challenging game. Awesome game. Platformer with light RPG elements. Puzzle-solving skills and quick reflexes a must.

If any of you are big fans of classic platformers, you really should play this game. It is hilarious. It is fun. It can be very difficult at times.

The writing's actually not that bad either. It's mostly just silly jokes at first, but it actually starts having a coherent plot partway through that is pretty good... never quite loses the silly jokes though.

The issue isn't over/undercooking, its getting multiple parts of a meal cooked all at the same time and not ending up with something getting cold waiting for something else. That and, say, adding veggies to a pasta sauce at the right time so they don't turn to mush by the time the noodles are done, that kind if thing .

that is kind of an art that im still working on. what i like to do is strain the noodles dump em back into the pot and cover em, so they stay warm. even if they get cold a putting hot sauce on them will heat em up in a hurry. tomato sauce at least holds heat like a mother****er, and will actually worm up your not so hot noodles. asian food is really time critical like this. cook times are very short and you can screw it up getting the timing wrong. you have to prep everything before you turn the heat on, just so you have time to do everything.

With a half-decent sauce, you can boil beef chuck (don't forget to add salt, pepper, garlic, & onion). When you remove it, cut it into smaller bits with a spatula and freeze the excess. It's easier to select your portions when you have the finished product sitting in front of you. When you're ready to cook it, toss some sauce into the bottom of a pan, toss the cooked beef in, and top off the pan. For a single serving, a tiny sauce pot is more than sufficient with 4oz beef. Stir it as it heats. It's ridiculously easy to make meat sauce while you have spaghetti noodles boiling.

It's really simple and I usually use Aldi's store-brand tomato sauce. That entire store was a life-saver during my college years.

Tip for meatballs: Bake them, and put them in the sauce once they've reached temp. Another method, cook in oil until done, and then add the sauce
Alternatively, precooked meatballs are an option and perhaps more suitable to your time/budget variables

Indeed. The meat basically absorbs the sauce into itself which just ends up being delicious
But that's true to say of most things
Specially mushrooms

My god... Chicken Marsala? So ****ing good. The mushrooms in the sauce just explode with flavour

Currently making fajitas right now actually. Going to marinate the chicken in light soy sauce, teriyaki, chili powder, coriander, cumin, and cayenne pepper, then cook it up with perhaps some mushrooms

Just called in sick to my temporary side-job, the night shift helping renovate one of the local dollar stores. Realizing now that working two morning shifts followed by an evening at my other job, and then a couple of night shifts (And transporting my girlfriend to work as well, amongst all of that) is screwing with my sleep schedule to the point where I'm having random dizzy spells and sweats.

So basically, I gave a little-white-lie pair of reasons why I wasn't able to swap the day to Wednesday or Thursday when I'm technically available but frankly need to catch up on sleep, housework, and other obligations, and I *might* try to take a shift next week, if the renovation continues being behind schedule as it is.

I feel like a wimp, for basically bailing on available work, but my entire body is trying to shut down on me and I can't afford to not be functional for my main job. Guess I shouldn't have taken the temp job in the first place.

Edit: I kinda wish they were all evening or morning shifts. I can deal with the work-load, I just can't deal with the inconsistency of shift times.

at 2pm i decided that the weather was good enough to grill outside, the sun was out and sparce fluffy clouds indicated little activity. so committed to bbq chicken. took it out of the freezer and got in a couple games of mwll. i also needed to go to the store. anyway i got back and it was pouring outside. having already thawed out the chicken, and with a deluge of semi-horizontal rain i decided that real men weren't afraid to get a little wet in the name of putting fire to meat. i got drenched, but my prowess with the bbq fork meant that i am now noming on really awesome bbq chicken.

i fixed my display contrast issues, by switching the slow ass arduino calls faster with avr library direct register access and a lot of bit ops. but due to a bug somewhere in my code my serial protocol doesnt store the first digit correctly, and so this digit is always wrong. i improved the contrast by breaking out the output enable pin on the shift register (i had just tied it to ground, cause i didnt think it would be necessary to switch it off), allowing me to cut off all current to the leds at the shift register (before i was just voltage matching the pins, which may not be 100% perfectly matched, resulting in some current flow and hince ghosting, and carryover during multiplexing). its ok cause i had a spare pin on my target mcu anyway. im still scratching my head about the first digit though. its got to be a serial error or an error in one of my data conversion functions. what happens is you send the uart a command byte followed by arguments (one byte each), and different commands take a different number of arguments. the command im using is 0xFA, which is the command to write all digits as ascii. this command is expected to be followed by 10 ascii characters, which are converted to 7 segment character codes. if i send the command followed by a string of 2s for example it should display all 2s, but for some reason the first digit is being corrupted. probibly an off by one error in one of my loops.

i was going to simplify my serial protocol anyway (more of a code space issue than anything), and so it will be completely rewritten. hopefully that makes the bug go away. but its a bug i will have to work on later. im going to visit my sister for x amount of time, get some fishing in as well. needless to say i want all the bugs out before i cut boards. i also want it working on the target mcu. i think i just have to change a single #define but you never know, memory/storage is my primary concern. the target mcu (attiny2313) doesnt have much space at all, 2k program area (almost full) and a mere 128 bytes of ram. so thats the thing i will work on. also want to implement an i2c protocol, but i may have to choose one interface or the other, though the serial library has some bloat i could cull out by talking to those registers directly (the hardware is all there though).

Are you sure the digit corruption is a software problem? You might've connected the 7-seg wrong...?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Post by: Nuke on May 17, 2012, 02:51:21 pm
no, theres a memory location that contains the raw on off bits for each segment. its just a 10 element byte array. when i dump it to the terminal, the first character never matches the other 9. it should because i sent the same one for all 10. when i write to the first segment the same thing happens as when i write out to the second, the only difference is that another chip decides which one of the displays has power at the time. you iterate over the 10 entries in the display buffer, output its contents to the shift register, latch it, and enable the outputs. then you set one turn on one of the displays.

the hardware is just an led multiplexing circuit. the grounds for the displays are all wired in an 8 bit bus to a shift register, and when one of the pins is low, current is allowed to flow through that segment. if you were to power all 10 displays (you really shouldn't do that though) then they would all display the same digit. but because only one anode pin is connected to 5v at any given time, only one display is on. i just output a number to the shift register, turn the display on by powering its anode, turn it off again, and load the next number to the shift register, repeat until all 10 have been output. then the code turns everything off and sees if there is any input from the serial port. this all happens so fast that it looks like all displays are lit simultaneously.

switching the displays on is handled by 6 outputs, a 3-bit select and an on/off bit controls 8 of the 10 displays with a 3-8 line decoder, it is impossible for more than one of them to be on at the same time. however since i have 10 displays, i need 2 extra pins, these are connected directly, and i can turn them on or off at will. there are some mosfets that actually supply the current, as the logic cant source much current by itself, so these are what actually recieve the data. i have a function that takes a number n between 0 and 9, if its n>=0 and n<8, i enable the line decoder and output the 3 down its select lines, if n==8, i turn off the decoder and power one of the extra segments and if n==9 i power the other. i dont see any issues there. its a fairly basic conditional.

i suspect the serial protocol is flawed. its a convoluted mess. its probibly not putting the right bytes in the right place, or my terminal program is putting in bytes that i do not want betwen the command byte and the data. the serial interface is also for testing, i intend to use an i2c interface instead. so its not a big deal to just wait for the rewrite, if this is in fact where the problem lies. i did perform a hardware test, i swapped the drive wires for the first 2 displays, the result was that the second display was wrong and the first one was right. this confirms that everything downstream of the displays is working. i also inserted a lengthy delay to the loop so i could watch the drive order, and only one display was on at any given time and in the proper sequence. so thats working. it has to be a software problem.

i dont have time to work on it, i have a boat to catch in a couple hours and im still not packed.

Bleh. Terrain LODs stuff has hit two dead ends in two days.

First, both of the schemes I considered---either averaging 2x2x2 regions of nodes, or just dropping every second node---turned out were fundamentally flawed, because nodes which weren't on the actual surface would contribute to the surface of the lower LOD... e.g. if I had a grassy hill, in a lower LOD the dirt inside the hill might be exposed :(

Second, I was like "I am going to make a shader that raytraces these voxel things!". Performance is like 3 fps, and that's a ludicrously stripped down version of what I was planning on doing with it. Versus a worst case of 18 fps normally.




Also nobody is talking to me on teh instant messages :(

Distillation FTW.

It definitely requires patience, but my Dad and I built a water distiller out of an old coffee can, some copper tubing, and... now I can't remember if we used a small natural gas burner or if we used an electric heating element...  It wasn't for our own drinking water (distilled water actually tastes pretty bad) but I think it was for some other project or other.  Something he needed very clean water for.  Maybe a cooling loop.

You know, I remember being all ticked off at being "volunteered" to help Dad with all his wacked out projects while I was growing up.  He could never be bothered to just hire a repair-man for ANYthing, and many times it ran well past the point of costing us more money than it saved (not to mention huge swathes of my life I'd never get back).  But, in retrospect, some of those projects were actually pretty cool.  That distillation system was awesome.  Pretty sure it did use a burner.  I remember thinking, "Cool!  Part of that flame is blue!"

No, probably shock therapy will be best.

And, I will kill whomever thought that a Saturday morning exam was a good idea.
I've had a few of those too, they're not pleasant. It's not helped by the fact that because I have a long journey to university I have to get up extra early. That's annoying enough on weekdays but just feels terrible on the weekend.

Yeah, same here, my exam was at 9am but I had to get up at 5:30 to ensure that I would get in with plenty of time to account for any traffic incidents that would arise due to Murphy's Law.

It went well enough, though :)

And Scotty, the first five seasons are the better part of Supernatural, with the first three being the best in my eyes. If you liked the first episode you'll enjoy it all.

I find most fears about nuclear power are... poorly placed, to put things lightly. We need much, much better education about nuclear power in general. Doing so would do wonders against ignorant/biased media reports and the resulting ignorant/biased fear-mongering or propagation thereof from the average citizen.

I don't know what triggered it, but the anti-nuclear crusade tried to resurge about a week ago.  I guess there wasn't enough panicking for their liking.  The sad part is some mainstream news picked this up and published it calling the fear-mongers with no formal education in ANYTHING, let alone nuclear science, "nuclear experts."

Honestly, I wouldn't mind the plant going into a meltdown (or any plant for that matter)
To me, it'd be really cool to see what exactly happens. I mean, sure, I've seen the Chernobyl aftermath, but there's something intriguing about it all.

That's my vacation destination really. I would rather go to Pripyat than Hawaii

it DID.  the point is, unless the russians designed it, it DOESN'T kill people when it melts.  (and really, the melting itself wasn't what caused Chernobyl to be such a big problem.  that was the prompt criticality and resulting steam explosion)

When I say meltdown, I mean cataclysmic in proportions rendering the entire area inhospitable for the next many many years

And I am well aware of the events leading up to the Chernobyl incident

a meltdown by itself will never do that.  there has to be something like a fire or explosion to disperse the radioactive material.  short of a nuclear weapon, Chernobyl pretty much IS the worst case scenario.

in other news, i just wasted what would have been a perfect beach afternoon attempting to replace a battery cable terminal in my car.  couldn't, because the ****ed up one on there is crimped on, not just attached with a bolt.  the cable is too short to break and remake, and i haven't got the first ****ing clue how to go about replacing the whole cable.  it seems to branch out to three different places, none of them accessible.  i was all excited about the first car work i was ever going to do myself.  instead i had to settle for cleaning the corrosion off and tightening up the terminal.  to the shop it goes, can't wait to find out how much it's going to cost me.

Back from Venezuela. Wedding went without a hitch. Regarding the water situation, they just have vast stores of bottled water which you drink instead.

Having not known much about South America, I can say with the exception of the walls, bars, electric fences, insane driving rules, having to carry your passport at all times or face being arrested, and the potentially dangerous water, it was a nice place.

I mean, the people all across the city were more polite then around my city, the women were much prettier, and the food was great. Plus, there are Lizards.

Watching a show on History about weird weapons that were tried.  Apparently, the US gave cat-guided bombs a try.  As in, purr meow.  Strapped to a harness inside a bomb that controlled the fins as the cats moved.  The idea being that since cats hate water, they would steer the bomb to hit Japanese ships.

GOD people are stupid.




And while I was typing this, they did a bit on exploding pancakes.  And right now they are using cats again.  This time as listening devices with implanted microphones, antenna and batteries.

Just discovered something rather annoying.  We are building our house in an neighborhood that has a home-owners association.  There wasn't much choice.  We wanted our kids in the best school district in the area, and there are no neighborhoods without HOA's that are still within the city limits.  The recently elected president of the HOA is an architect, and he has taken it upon himself to make the building process as time consuming and painful as he possibly can.

I'd just finally been fed up enough by his recent insistence that no construction vehicles be parked on the property during construction unless the ground is completely dry (seriously, WTF) to issue a formal complaint to the city to try and get him over-ruled.  Then I discover that he has gotten his ass elected not only to the local HOA, but also to the City Planning Commission.  FML.

You've got to remember, at that time, a computer powerful enough to perform the calculations needed to control a bomb onto a target would've been the size of a small gymnasium. Pigeons, supposedly where the cheaper alternative since people knew how to train them.

Again, the Allies needed bombs that were cheap, powerful, and quick to build. The creation of the atomic bomb changed their tactics.

I didn't see the part about the pigeons, but at least that's a little better than a ****ing cat steering a bomb because it's afraid of water.  How did the guy that suggested that not just get punched in the face?  Funniest thing is the reported reason the bombs failed: the cats were knocked unconscious by the g-forces of the drop.

My minor 'swap-out-the-heatsink' project metastasized rather uncomfortably, but I have a working desktop again, with more processor power, running at under 20 C, and I've still got half an hour before I need to get up to start tomorrow, so call it a win!

i have returned from my sister's. seriously getting to and from her house is an adventure in of itself. its like a 40 minute ride on a 20' aluminum work skiff through alaskan waters. the weather both ways was rather brutal. not quite whitecapping but not quite happy either. nothing like discussing the finer points of the battletech universe and why minecraft sucks with my brother in law getting hit by a 4 foot wave every few seconds. from the beach its a 30 minute drive over a very bumpy one lane dirt road in an old beat up truck all to arrive at a half finished house that only gets power 4 hours a day. of course you dont go there to sit around the house all day. hit up every fishing hole in the place. didnt catch a thing. my sister and brother in law both caught some cuthroats, and the 2 of them made for a light dinner. you also spend a lot of time burning things. usually wood or garbage or eachother. disgruntled by the lack of progress on their drywalling work, since my last visit (i did an entire house in 3 weeks), i decided to help stick up a couple rolls of drywall tape. i also helped chop some wood, most of which we incinerated. did have some starcraft time on the lan, and i got quite good at foosball, settlers of catan, etc. and there was the impromptu bbq at the gravel pit, after one of the loaders got a flat tire, screwed around on a listing barge, raced my sister on atvs (and won), i insulted my sisters cooking countless times.

the return trip was nice. i got up, watched dvds on the portable player, when somone said that today was the only hole in the weather for a week so i had 30 minutes to pack my ****, and some of the stuff i horked, and get out to the boat. the only vehicle i had was a barely functional atv that didnt like shifting into 3rd very much. i grabbed a peice of twine and "secured" my bag of dirty lanundry, my ugly stick, and my tacklebox to the forward cargo rack. i play some motorhead on my immortal hacked 5th gen ipod which hasnt had the sense to die yet. i was supposed to meet some of the extended family there for the boat ride to town. i get in sight of the beach when i hit a bump and my tacklebox falls under the 4x4 and goes rolling down the dirt road. the thing is laying on the road, unopened, though somewhat damaged. i do a quick inventory of all my (most of it anyway) stuff amd find that nothing is missing. so i "secure" it again and resumed my ride. it must have hit something under the vehicle because i had some transmission trouble. it was making a funny sound i shifted down to neutral and back up to 2nd and it seemed to clear up, and i manage to get it up to 5th using the "special trick" needed to get past 3rd (which was essentially standing up and jumping on the shifter really hard at speed). during this manuver i almost loose the box it a second time, fortunately it just bounded off the wheel a couple times. i was able to pull it back up by the bungee on the go, which was fine because i was only a few seconds from the shore at the time. the boat ride was less eventfull than the first, though still bumpy. and i finally get to town and can post this worthless anecdote that no one is going to read.

If you've got a PS2 emulator, you could FRAPS the crouching yourself from the side and top view providing yourself with easy to use reference

But your alternative works too

Went to a bonfire party last night, got drunk and can distinctly remember several members of the opposite sex untie my hair and play with it for the better part of an hour. I remember one of them snuggling into my back, then the next thing I remember is walking home several hours later. In the wrong direction. Without my hair tie (bootlace).

I really wasn't having a go at you, didn't mean to be snide. Usually when someone says 'Am I the only one who [doesn't like X]' what they actually mean is 'I want a passive-aggressive way to disagree with people'.

There have to be a billion more of these stupid internetisms but I can't think of any.

Well, I find it's easier to access and its interface is less cluttered by bull**** (because there's really not that much there; all you can do is tweet yourself or read tweets from the people you're following). While I would not describe myself as a particularly active twitterer, I do find that the barriers to just going ahead and tweeting something are lower than the same barrier on facebook.

Amen to all of that! I cut the majority of people some slack if they mention it in passing AND acknowledge they really don't know what goes on, immigration-wise, because I'm happy to educate them. But the people who have the nerve to think that anyone immigrating to a country has it easy or, even worse, thinks immigrants are a waste of tax-dollars hit me right *there*.

I didn't actually self-star my profanity. The profanity filter kicked in, and when I went to edit it they remained filtered as stars. I wasn't going to edit out the stars to re-insert my profanity - far too much effort.

Also, exam results are in.

It looks like I'll be graduating with a strong Upper Second-class Degree. Masters, here I come!

Edit: And I just found out, finally, how to turn off the profanity filter.

PS3 controller came in two days ago, most of today I fought with defunct, outdated, or otherwise malfunctioning drivers and their according "update" utilities. Downloaded drivers from MotionInJoy, navigated through a perilous amount of advertisements and DOWNLOAD THIS FREE APP!! buttons. Installed, and re-installed, cussed, and finally 100% installed the drivers, calibrated the HID, and verified opertion.

The end result? A PS3 controller with SixAxis support (for a total of 6 functional analog axiis) just ripe for some space sim testing.

I leave from school and get to the intersection and put on a left turn signal. It's about 3:05. About six minutes later, I'm still waiting for traffic to clear so I can turn. I think I see an opening, so I go for it.

I hear the screech of brakes.
Ka-Boom!

It was, of course, all my fault.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
It was my first car crash and I felt terrible about it.

The guy that hit me was a sketchy looking black dude in a black car.

I apologized and he said it was ok.

He asked me if I was hurt and I told him I was fine.

He asked for my contact information and I gave it to him.

Then I asked him for his contact information.

He told me "My name's Fualaau. F-U-A-L-A-A-U. That's my first and my last name. and My phone number is 336-581-9726"

As I was calling my mom he told me "I gotta go pick up my little sister but I'll be right back, ok?"

I thought that was kind of suspicious because you're when you're in a wreck you're supposed to stick around and wait for the police to arrive, but I nodded and he drove off. Being the idiot that I am, I didn't think to write down his license plate number.

Soon a cop shows up and I relate my story to him, and my parents show up about ten minutes later.

The cop dials the guy's number and finds out that the number has been disconnected.

The cop said that since I was the one that was at fault but the other guy drove off, he either (A) didn't have a license, (B) didn't have insurance, or (C) had "something" in his car.

I'm tired of typing, so I'm stopping here.

First car accident is really ****ty, my one and so far only accident was a 50/50 as the guy pulling out it was technically my fault but the other guy was speeding enough that when he hit me he stopped a good 100+ meters down the road.

It also turned out that the stupid **** had an expired provisional licence so my insurance wouldn't pay out because I was 3rd party (never again) and his wouldn't pay out because the idiot shouldn't have been on the road, let alone no accompanying driver and L plates.

Fortunately the worst of it injury wise was him fainting at the sight of his own blood, though my wife gave us a scare for 3 hours because she was pregnant at the time and hadn't felt the baby move since the accident and was badly bruised from the seat belt.

My car was a write off though :(.

Glad you are ok, they are probably the scariest thing the average person will go through and I strongly suggest you vent everything you can think of to a trusted mate just to get it out your system.

I had my first several months ago, but fortunately it didn't amount to much more than a mild fender-bender.  I was driving through a residential area with a speed limit of 35 mph/56 kph, and all of a sudden this other car pulls out of a neighborhood cross-street way too close to me.  The view to the left at the intersection was obscured by a large evergreen tree, and apparently the genius didn't inch up far enough to actually see if anyone was coming.  I remember my only real thought being "um...", then I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could, and wound up bumping into the left-rear of their car.  Fortunately, it was a fairly low-speed collision at that point, and I came off with not much more than a scraped and gouged bumper.  It still managed to leave me seriously shaken, though.  The worst part of it was dealing with the insurance afterwards: the other driver's company was claiming I was partly at fault, just because of where on their car I hit.  Fortunately, the nearby resident who initially called the cops provided a witness statement, and I finally managed to get full compensation.  That reminds me, we still need to get that bumper replaced...

I've been in 2 as the driver.  First one, someone in the front of a line of about 5 cars slammed on their brakes because they decided they wanted to turn at the street they were right next to after all.  It was a rainy day, and apparently my tires were worse than everyone else's because I skidded into the back of the car in front of me.  It was direct bumper on bumper, absolutely no damage.  So after we pulled off and checked our cars, we just shook hands and went on our way.  The other one wasn't so good.  Was driving in the leading edge of a hurricane/tropical storm system (can't remember how strong it was) because my soccer coach didn't have the good sense to cancel practice until it actually hit.  Coming up to a stop light my car hydroplaned and drifted into the next lane t-boning a guy.  I didn't have room to let off the brakes and recover or I would have hit the van in front of me.  This one was strange.  The guy was real nice at the time, talked to my dad on the phone saying it wasn't my fault and blah blah whatever, but he left before the cop got there saying he had to pick up his kid from school or daycare or something.  He had a son in the car with him, about 6 I would say.  He was completely fine.  The cop that arrived didn't seem the least bit interested, and only stayed until my dad got there to pick me up.  Then the guy started playing the insurance game.  He decided some days later to go to the hospital to get him and his son "checked out," and called my house a few times wanting to meet up and "talk."  What about, I have no idea.  He actually used the words "at the scene of the crime" in one of his messages.  Our insurance company warned us not to contact him again, they would handle it.  They had a feeling this was going to turn into a money grab lawsuit if we handled it ourselves like we were going to to keep the insurance rates from skyrocketing.

My first car accident was a collision.

I stepped out and the bumper, bonnet, windscreen and road collided with me in that order. I then promptly stood up, waved at the horrified onlookers with the cry of "I'm okay!" and hobbled home to tell my mum what happend before the shock wore off. 

I like to think that I caused more damage to the car than it did to me.

PS3 controller came in two days ago, most of today I fought with defunct, outdated, or otherwise malfunctioning drivers and their according "update" utilities. Downloaded drivers from MotionInJoy, navigated through a perilous amount of advertisements and DOWNLOAD THIS FREE APP!! buttons. Installed, and re-installed, cussed, and finally 100% installed the drivers, calibrated the HID, and verified opertion.

The end result? A PS3 controller with SixAxis support (for a total of 6 functional analog axiis) just ripe for some space sim testing.

Hell yes.  :wakka:

I did this ages ago
Minus the Sixaxis support
Which is probably a good thing. I wouldn't want anything of mine randomly turning or doing something while I don't want it to

This is something I've been waiting for such a long time, I now have my left stick mapped for pitch and heading, my right stick mapped for main thrust and left/right vector thrusts... and the piece de resistance: the left/right tilt for roll, and the forward/back tilt for up/down vector thrusts.

So awesome.  :yes:

Only downside I've come across so far is that the tilt updates seem to be a bit sluggish, not sure if it's the controller's accelerometers or if it's the third-party drivers.

Venus during transit is about 1 arcminute in diameter (1/32 the diameter of the sun) and is just barely large enough to discern with eclipse goggles.

Projection is still the way to go IMO, either through a pinhole, binocs, or a refracting telescope.

It's assuming perfect seeing conditions, though, and during the daytime, with the atmosphere stirred up by sunlight and plenty of heat distortion off the surrounding land radiating back into the air...

You're really not likely to see something that small. Projection, White Light/Hydrogen Alpha Filter.

exhausting day. beach for 8 hours, airshow, f-22 stunts, blue angels.  moved to a different spot on the beach and had one of the most painful skim sessions ever.  i pretty much got beat up by some water for an hour.  cut off at the ankles repetitively sending me headfirst over the wave and into the sand beneath it.  got a rather lot of air of the back of one wave, and proceeded to land by way of a back flop on my slight sunburn.  then it was all about to be better as i was perfectly set up to catch perhaps the wave of the summer.  until it suddenly turned into THE biggest shorebreak i've ever seen at VA beach right as i got there, and i could do nothing but scream "OH ****" and watch in horror as it collapsed right on top of me. 

goddamnit i have to go back to work tomorrow.

War with russia was going excellent but then they signed a pact with the Celts, who then paid every god damned country to declare war on me and asked for peace. Needless to say, I launched a coordinated assault with bombers, cruisers, and battleships to blast a corridor to the Celtic capital. During the barrage I deployed tanks which raced towards the city and razed it to the ground. None survived. Except for my guys, they all survived.

I'm getting ads from GoG describing Gabriel Knight as "classic gaming".

The things I mainly remember about the Gabriel Knight series were they had the scariest advertisements in PCGamer I ever saw (me back then would kinda flip past them really fast), and they were Sierra moon-logic-puzzle pixel***** madness "adventure gaming" very nearly at its height of moon-logic pixel*****iness.

Am I way off base here? Are these really classics worthy of inclusion in an ad that has been cut-and-pasted several times for Fallout or Panzer General or Alpha Centauri?

Just remembered a fun little point 'n click adventure game that I played back when my age was in the single digits and I didn't quite have the grasp I do now on double entente.

Torin's Passage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torin%27s_Passage). A game that the writer said was made to include jokes that kids wouldn't get the whole meaning of, just the silly bits that kids would laugh at.


Also played the Steel Battalion demo on Xbox+Kinect. It was okay and the kinect involvement was certainly inspired, but it was still more than a bit awkward.

On the topic of car collisions, I had a moment of impossible stupidity this morning that makes me think this is going to be a **** week.

On the weekend, some neighbours of ours had an afternoon party on their driveway in our cul-de-sac.  My wife and I attended, but when it was nearing time to put our little guy to bed I folded up the lawn chairs and tossed them in the garage in case we were going back over later.  Tossed them in the garage, right behind our old beater I use to commute to work.  I noticed them there yesterday when I was working in the yard and made a mental note to put them away so I didn't back over them on Monday morning.

I backed into them this morning.

Better yet, because they are light aluminum and shorter than the back window of the car, I pushed them 3 feet backwards with the car (and they oddly did not fall over, despite being wobbly as hell folded up) into the garage door frame and lower sensor, where they wedged and then provided resistance to the car, which I immediately noticed and stopped backing up.  I then spent the next 10 minutes bending the garage door track and sensor mount back into place all the while waving at my neighbours who were also leaving for work.

Timely reminder with all the kids in our cul-de-sac for Ryan - sightlines out the back of our beater are terrible, check behind car before backing up.

You're going to regret that decision if you ever have a transaction disputed.  PayPal is notorious for freezing accounts and then not telling people why.  Not so bad if its just a credit card - really ugly if its your primary bank account.

PayPal can freeze any transactions to or from your PayPal account.  ANY transactions.  They can freeze the whole account.  Sent a bunch of money through PayPal from your bank?  That can get tied up.  Receiving money?  Yup, that too.  This isn't a bad primer:  http://www.moneycone.com/should-you-link-paypal-to-your-main-checking-account/

Basically, there is no Earthly reason to tie your bank account to PayPal if you can get a credit card.  PayPal doesn't play by the same rules as a bank, and I'd be very careful about giving them any access to your banking.  They can't freeze your actual bank account with another institution, but they can do lots to hamper your ability to use it.

Google "Paypal regretsy" for a particularly egregious example of the horrors of PayPal customer service.

PayPal can freeze any transactions to or from your PayPal account.  ANY transactions.  They can freeze the whole account.  Sent a bunch of money through PayPal from your bank?  That can get tied up.  Receiving money?  Yup, that too.  This isn't a bad primer:  http://www.moneycone.com/should-you-link-paypal-to-your-main-checking-account/

Basically, there is no Earthly reason to tie your bank account to PayPal if you can get a credit card.  PayPal doesn't play by the same rules as a bank, and I'd be very careful about giving them any access to your banking.  They can't freeze your actual bank account with another institution, but they can do lots to hamper your ability to use it.

Google "Paypal regretsy" for a particularly egregious example of the horrors of PayPal customer service.
Whoa.

That's insane. I think I might apply for Credit Card now...

Coolest part was I could actually see it directly with my own eyes, without a protective filter, by looking through a small telescope as the sun passed behind patches of cloud.  And as far as I can tell I managed to not blind myself.

credit cards are great if you use them properly.  find one with no fees (i.e., not the ones advertised on TV), and use it like you were paying cash.  don't carry a balance, and DON'T FORGET TO PAY IT.

I didn't see any of the transit with my own eyes: it was way too cloudy at the start, and by the time the Sun peeked through a few times, it was already beneath the tree line behind our house, so I wouldn't have had any means of seeing it anyway.  Did catch the end of it on the webcast, though.

I read somewhere that Isaac Newton stared at the sun to see what it'd do to him (he very nearly did go blind and couldn't see the color green for a long time afterward), also that he stuck a needle all the way into his eye socket and swirled it around... to see what would happen.  Apparently it caused him to see all sorts of crazy lights and ****.

Wife, kid, and I are headed to the UK this fall to visit her family.  Called Bell Canada to remove the network sim lock on our HTC Desire Z so I can just buy a pay-as-you-go sim in the UK and use our phone with all our info.  After 25 minutes, 5 transfers between individuals, one dropped call and redial in the middle, and 3 customer service folks with incomprehensible Quebecois accents, I was informed that I was STILL talking to the wrong department because the last person transferred me to the wrong section, but it would be a $75 charge.

Excuse me?  Did I not buy this phone?  Have I not been a Bell customer for 8 years?  Is the phone itself not an older model?

Fed up with talking to Bell's customer service, paid $15 for an unlock code through cellunlocker.net.  Just waiting to see if they can indeed unlock my phone or if a refund gets sent instead.

Will likely NOT be renewing a cell contract with Bell.  Seriously contemplating a snotogram to Bell's CEO and customer care.

they are all like that. its one of the reasons i refuse to throw any money at the cellular industry. they **** you in every way that they can. make you spend hundreds on phones that lock you into them as a provider, and you have to pay twice as much for an unlocked model, and when you do buy the unlocked model, half the provider's features dont work. and thats not the only thing. im still kinda pissed off that they killed pdas with the advent of the smart phone and have generally relegated the arm architecture to the phone market, a hole that it is just now starting to climb out of.

The situation here in China is much better. Almost everyone is on pay as you go. If you want to pay a monthly amount you can. You just put credit on your phone and when it runs out they disconnect you until you pay again. If you don't pay within a certain number of weeks, your number is dead and your contract is over.

None of this 12-24-36 months bull****. Just "While you pay us, you can use your phone with us"


I think the greatest irony is that even though I can only read a little Chinese, I have more of a clue about where my money is going and how much talk time, etc. I have left with a Chinese account than I ever had in the UK. Over there they just shower you with bull**** about how many free texts or talk minutes you have left in the hope that you won't realise how they're screwing with you.

You get it from close contact with infected people. So spending a day with three toddlers who just love to hang off you like a bunch of howler monkeys might atribute to close contact. Add to the fact that we all went out for a meal and they were playing with other kids just adds to the possible sources.

All in all it's a fairly common virus, I just managed to get it because I was recovering from a minor case of bad prawn dim-sum.

Arrived in California for a summer internship. :D

I remembered last last night that not only did my laptop's Windows setup really need a partition with more space, the version of Linux Mint that I was using on another partition was no longer supported. So, since the night before your flight is a great time to reinstall Windows and Linux (you're up anyway, right?), I decided to install Windows on the larger 3rd partition and Linux on the 4th one, reformatting those partitions without resizing them. Turns out that the version of GParted on the Linux Mint disc ****ed up the MBR, including its partition table :mad: :banghead: although luckily, OS X depends only on the GPT, which was untouched by GParted, so it booted just fine. Still, error messages from gptsync are never a good sign. :blah: And I don't remember ever having this problem with GParted in the past. I got pretty good at manually reconstructing the MBR's partition table with fdisk and repairing the MBR with bootrec.exe /fixmbr, though. Now my triple boot setup seems to be working and up-to-date, at least.

EDIT: Clarification.

just had a strange attack of nostalgia at 3:30 in the morning.  went through old middle school yearbooks.  tried to figure out what kids who signed them were talking about, or even remember who some of them were.  some were just completely illegible and i'll never know.  found a few phone numbers i might try if i get really drunk some night :P  also found a picture of one of my best friends from before i knew her. 

and then i tried to find my old band director on the internet.  i'm not sure why.  i kinda have the urge to contact him.  :confused:

The two or so weeks before exams are worse than the rest of the semester combined. I'm finding it harder and harder to concentrate each day and my mood is slowly getting worse. Just two weeks to go, gotta hold on.

Tried out the "living concept art" for SpaceVenture (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spaceventure/two-guys-spaceventure-by-the-creators-of-space-que) and was instantly sold. Didn't feel like posting about it though since (a) there was only a few hours left of their Kickstarter (b) my last adventure game thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=80761.0) wasn't exactly the talk of the town. (Although I did see a KQ3 reference (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=81011.msg1613671#msg1613671) recently on the forums, but I only played 5 and 6.)

Just finished working a shift in a store full of computers and machines that make really loud, shrill, piercing noises.

And went through the entire step-by-step procedure of one of my migraines. Right from my eyesight doing weird things with entire quadrants of my vision fuzzing and blanking out, to the "my head feels fine but my body and mind are sluggish and dysfuntional" to the "Why won't this foot stop stepping on my face" face pain.

Needless to say, I'm a little worn out. I am so thankful that for me, migraines are a fairly rare occurrence. Unlike some members of my family, in which migraines run on my mother's side.

Unfortunately, it's also a retail customer service job. So no go on the earplugs. Though sometimes I'd like to use them to drown out the idiocy of some of the more dimwitted customers.

I've been getting the feeling lately from some of my friends that endorsing things like feminism, gay marriage and no mandatory detention for refugees somehow makes me a bad person. Why exactly, I don't know, but ever since the misc on the bodybuilding forum took off, I've noticed a resurgence in sexism among people my age. I find it ****ing disgusting, rage-inducing, and just downright immature. Not really sure what to think of myself.

I've found that (at least here in london) a lot of the sexism in youth culture is being propegated by the women. I personaly thinks it's just lazyness, and an aversion to hard work. I've personally met several girls who's genuine life goal was to get pregnant, and so believe that they don't need to learn and that men will support them.

The youngest girl I heard that from was drinking in the street with her 'girlfriends' in broad daylight, and couldn't have been older than 15.



Nuke, please hurry your plans along, as....

Post by: Dilmah G on June 13, 2012, 02:05:15 pm
True enough, and that's the thing though - things are different over there. (Not that I endorse sexism, but the way members of a particular gender are perceived to act. The whole chav subculture doesn't do anyone any favours, and that's the other thing, those kind of lazy chicks should have their laziness attributed to the fact that they're chavs, not 'caus they're chicks).

I digress! But yes, over here, the girls me and my mates are in contact with aren't even stupid! They're very, very, smart and progressive women. These fellas just spend too much time looking at these silly 'women logic' threads where the worst things women have ever done are posted and amalgamated as if that's a representation of women as a whole.  :rolleyes:

I honest to God can think of only one woman at all, whom I've met, who would think of getting pregnant as some kind of get-out-of-life's-hard-work free card. And even she barely qualifies, although her boyfriend being a veterinary student could be considered to be some kind of 'long-term investment'. Who knows? :D

Happens plenty over here in my area of Canada too. Though I've noticed it tends to be more widespread amongst areas with lower socioeconomic levels, where a lot of the girls get pregnant so they can apply for social assistance and subsidized housing, and they get more money the more kids they have. That, and the more money they have the more can be spent on booze and weed, and their parents won't be around to say anything. Edit: because they have their own place.

Chav is a british term, comes from "Council-Housed And Violent" iirc. Refers to a certain youth subculture.

Problem is Dilmah that a lot of the ones who came to my mind are not actually Chavs, but seem to be under the misapprehension that posessing a set of functioning mammary glands and ovaries acts as a kind of "Get out of work free" card. I'm not saying that all women I meet are like this, indeed, the majority of the girls I know are hard working, intelligent and independent (My girlfriend is one of the greatest examples of this I can think of), but there is a sizeable minority here in the UK who are as Firespawn and I have pointed out, and I expect that it's the same elsewhere.

And I think when you throw away everything the feminist movement worked to give you and act like that, some guys are going to take that as representative of all females everywhere - and there are other personal factors that may lead to them forming that world view.

I should point out that I'm not supporting misogynist view points, they're stupid, ignorant and completely ass-backward. But they're not entirely down to pure sexism on the parts of the males - Some encounter women who do endorse and support their ass-backward-ry.

the whole reason i even exist is because some whore decided to exploit the system, pop out children with no purpose other than to get on welfare. shes done that her entire life, welfare while she had kids and disability later on.  these people should be identified and executed on the spot.

I have recycled an old outline that calls for 28 missions, using only Retail assets. I'll have to build them from the ground up, though.

This also doesn't count the planned addition of (at this point, the number will go up) 16 tech room entries and 12 Fiction Viewer entries.

Oh, I really do. There's this nice/smart girl in my communications workshop at uni who I somehow developed a thing for, after only talking once for a whole lesson. And that was like, two months ago. I'll see her tomorrow at my last exam, political science, but I most likely won't be able to speak to her. :( I need to get out more and avoid these situations.

I'm an idiot for missing the 12 hour facebook window.

Just get your arse over to her and ask her out already.

It's the things you don't do that you regret the most. If you're never going to see her again, you lose very little if you ask her out and she says no. If you don't ask her, you'll always wonder.
True enough! I think she made eyes my way this morning in the exam...might get pissed tonight and come home with the confidence to send that friend request and try and start talking. :P

Easier to talk to all of the girls, but expect nothing out of it
That's how I approach the situation. I can talk to anyone and even throw a few compliments or flirts their way without a single problem
Then I go home and drink



Raved it out in the dishpit regardless of it being busy as ****. Had a conversation with one of the servers regarding the ability to be sneaky. She insisted that she could be sneaky enough to launch a rack full of wine glasses at me. I insisted that I would be able to see this massive ****ing blue rack coming towards me

Later, told her it's impossible for her to be sneaky. She's too beautiful, you can't help but notice her presence

x2.  i believe this is because my approach is sarcasm and smartassery, which works wonders as far as meaningless flirting is concerned but fails miserably at starting or advancing serious relationships.  and sarcasm is my natural defense mechanism against seriousness and awkwardness.  the one real girlfriend i've had HATED this. 

i also seem to attract genuine wackos.  even with a willful effort to suppress any sort of flirt or charm and fall back to the most basic level of politeness possible.

Haven't wooed any whackos in a little while, but have done great with girls a year or so younger than me (not too bad) and ex-girlfriends from way back (pretty bad) lately. Dammit!

In Western Massachusetts, there's a "Best of the Valley" annual award that the local paper gives out for various categories, such as restaurants. It's presumably by some sort of popular vote. Anyways, I once noticed that the ambulance chaser on the back of the local phone book also had a "Best of the Valley" designation. So apparently there are awards for best ambulance chasers, too. :wtf:

In other news, turns out my cell phone only holds 256 text messages. Lame. It's what I get for getting a POS of a phone. :banghead:

Though not as reliable, and likely not warranty approved, third party universal cords are much, much cheaper than ones from the laptop manufacturer.

universal ones are barely cheaper than the manufacturer's original replacement.  it's about $70 vs. $100.  and i'm slightly worried that all the universal ones i've looked at so far are 19-19.5 volts vs. the 20 volts written on the side of the original one.

If best buy is as far as you'll look, then yeah, you're stuck with expensive prices. Since when has Best Buy ever had decent prices on computer hardware?

Not sure where you're at, but pretty much any larger computer parts retailer (TigerDirect, etc.) has 90 Watt supplies going for 40-50 bucks US. Heck, even lowly Wintronics up here carries ones that appear to be OEM replacements for around that 40 to 50 dollar range CDN.

So apparently Rodney King has died.

While he was by all accounts (including his own) an incredibly flawed human being, something is owed to his memory; the incident that made him a public figure ultimately has much to do with the drive to clean up the LAPD and the lessons learned from it that were applied to most major police forces in the US.

The LAPD owes its current public image as a respectable institution, and indeed policing in major cities in general does, to a black man they beat up on a DUI stop. Funny how that works out.

But it tastes so good

Had myself an ounce of Blue Label earlier today. Twenty dollar ounce sure, but it was a damned good ounce

I opened my bedroom window yesterday evening because it was hot because our heat pump broke and my mamma hasn't bothered to pay to fix it because "the house looks bad" and she "needs to clean up before the heat pump people come". -_-

Well anyway, that was a bad mistake. I don't remember when I shut the window (probably around 10 or so) but when I stopped playing Minecraft with Jeremiah around one o'clock and turned off my computer, I found out my bedroom was crawling with bugs. Seriously. I killed like 30 of them and there were still more. They were even on my bed.  :(

I got so disgusted that I turned off the lights, left my bedroom, and closed the door. I then proceeded to stuff a rag in the space underneath the door so the creepy crawlies wouldn't invade the rest of the house.

For some reason my dad was sleeping on the couch downstairs (probably because it's cool down there because the downstairs heat pump still works) and my mom was sleeping in the extra bedroom, so I slept the Master Bedroom for the night.

That wasn't the end of my troubles. I had a nightmare about Creepers. :shaking:  I opened the garage door of my IRL house and there were thousands of them. All in a line. For as far as the eye could see. And they were all looking at me. I slammed the door and then I heard explosions. They were destroying the house! I ran upstairs and looked out the window and there was a tower of creepers going up to the second floor. They had stacked themselves one on top of another and the one on top was looking at me. The dream abruptly ended.

there's one part of the case that looks like it might supposed to be able to open, but i can't get it to without feeling like i'm about to break it.  and if it's not D cells or something i won't be able to replace it myself anyway.  if they want to charge me for them to maintain their own damn equipment, i'll either just live with it or find some way to break the beeper. 

on the plus side, i finally got the email that they got my mobo in at the shop, and i only have a week and a half or so left before i get my desktop back.  maybe i'll get even luckier and the electrical squeal noise from the mosfets will be gone.  too bad it cost me $23 in shipping.  $9 of which was just for the fking box that UPS didn't tell me they were charging me for.  found it on the receipt when i looked at it to get the tracking number.  bastards.


wow i'm in a pissy mood.  i guess it beats one of my bouts of depression (not clinical, calm down).  i'm gonna just blame it on the nasty ****ing chemical smell right outside our trailer at work today.  smelled like super concentrated paint thinner or something, and it was all over the deck.  gave me a hell of a headache.

Sidenote: Aim for being an Officer

Post by: Dilmah G on June 21, 2012, 04:14:20 am
Actually, I've got a bit to say about that, as I'm sure Dekker and such also will.

If you want to be a Commander, Leader, and Manager first and foremost, aim to be an Officer. Don't aim to be an Officer because you get to eat separately and occasionally have a whole room to yourself, and get called sir and all of that jazz. Those are bad reasons to want to be an Officer and I trust the appropriate selection agencies will smell you from a mile away.

If you want to be a specialist in your role, work in your role, and make a living doing the hard yakka without fighting the paperwork battle, go enlisted. Commanding, leading, and managing will come with time, but it's not your primary role (or at least, it isn't to my understanding. Dekker can clarify), your job specialization is your primary role.

There's an RMA Sandhurst adage that encapsulates Officership: 'Your men first - ALWAYS! Yourself last - ALWAYS!'

You won't 'be on top' as an Officer. In reality, you're at the bottom; you exist to serve your men and women. Always.

ROTC ain't a bad choice, but depending on whether you're out of college or not you may not be able to take that path if you want to commission as an officer. Like Dilmah said it really depends on what your interests are. More than anything though I recommend doing some research.

Seriously considering enlisting in the Army.  I can't find a job around here, my dad can't afford to support me, and I can't afford to support myself if he can't.  Gonna keep looking for the next couple weeks (and get started toward at least passably being in shape), but if I can't find anything by about the first week of July, that's where I'm headed.
Have you left College? If not, getting onto dat dere ROTC isn't a bad idea if the Army's a serious consideration. Don't you have a double engineering degree or something? How on Earth do YOU not have a job?  :shaking:
I'm two years into a double engineering degree.  Somewhere around February I realized that I was going to less and less classes, and that no matter what my options were I'd be racking up more and more debt, so I decided to cut the cycle of failed classes and mounting loans before it really got started.

ROTC isn't really even under consideration right now.  Enlisting isn't a 100% sure thing yet either, and I won't be heading into a recruiting office until I'm sure I've exhausted my options for employment around here first.  If I can't manage to find anything, then I'll go (this'll be the third round of job hunting I'll have done this year already).

MOSs under consideration are currently infantry, armor, artillery, engineer, and logistics/ordnance.  Eyesight disqualifies me from aviation, or that would be up there to. :P

The eyesight thing's a farce, mate. LASIK is an acceptable surgery option to meet the required vision standard; you'd be well advised to talk to your MEPS question the wisdom of your leaders...

it has a speaker phone which is the usual rubbish quality, it comes with an uncomfortable USB headset so will be looking to replace that if i can and has bluetooth so it might work with a headset but no mention of it in the manual so I will dig out my old one later and see

Ugh. Those types of people disgust me. I remember there was once a group of preachers in a shopping mall in town, going around with a megaphone yelling Bible quotes. I went straight up to them and told them that they were an affront to the faith (my faith) that they claimed to be representing. Of course it didn't faze them one bit, but I felt better knowing I'd expressed myself. Complaints from the public got them banned from the place a few days later.

That kind of **** annoys me so much. I had a very, very long discussion on facebook about this with one of my fundamentalist mates, who insisted that they needed to be 'saved' and whatnot. It was extremely offensive to the LGBTI people reading it and those who had LGBTI relations posting on it. The inability of people to comprehend what's outside a 2,000 year old book is what astonishes me. We need a better education system.

Fundamentalists are just... wrong, and because they get more exposure than normal religious people many tend to associate their behaviour with all religious people, which is by far not the case.

Thanks for being civil in this discussion as well, guys. It's always nice when these things go well.

Drunk again, damnit I need a better use of my time.

Oh and I'm Catholic but don't have any problems with homosexuality as long as they understand I'm straight and not willing to experiment. They can get married for all I care, why should straight people have the monopoly on misery.

For that matter I find the whole women's health issue our government seems locked into a gross misuse of time better used solving legitimate problems as well. So what if our religion is against contraception, like all things it's a choice to be made on a individual level. If you remove the sin of temptation (right or wrong) just because they are temptations then are you truly all that strong in your faith. Having the option doesn't necessarily mean you have to use it if you choose not to so what really is the problem. Hell some women's very lives depends on the effects of birth control pills, would you deny them the right to live over something written nearly 2000 years ago and as far as I know doesn't mention contraception at all. The only related sin specifically mentioned is that of spilling ones seed outside of reproduction purposes and that makes masturbation a sin by definition yet most don't have a problem with that and do it anyway. Honestly that one was probably written to combat under-population during biblical times. Not really all that important in this age where we face over-population.

i think the southeast wins for the most retarded weather.  last summer we had a 119 (F) heat index day.  the actual temp was in the 90s, but the humidity was somewhere roundabout 150%  last night at work a near hurricane force storm literally spawned right on top of us in a matter of minutes and the ship had to frantically scramble to get **** off the weatherdecks and into the hangar.  as it was nearing time to leave, we watched the radar in dismay as the cell expanded westward faster than it moved eastward.  another favorite trick for the weather down here is to do the opposite, go from monsoon to sunny in seconds.  it's fun watching the ground give off wafts of steam.

He's in Alaska. Scorching is probably around 90's, while Hellish is >100's.

Speaking of which, area around here hit somewhere around 105 F.

I know he lives in alaska. was sorta the point. I'm in the midwest. heat isn't too bad the last few days, but the humidity has been bad

yes but this is southeast alaska, you know, rainforest. the humidity was killer, making 70 feel like an 90 in a dry heat. ive lived in phoenix so ive seen, and grown accustom to tempuratures around 115f. the point is that it was hot enough to go swimming in an alaskan creek, and even the water was warmish. this kinda thing is normal in the interior for example, fairbanks gets really hot summers i hear (i went up there once and it was kinda hotish). in the southeast this is rare. i kept swimming into rocks though, and that was painful. also the bottom was kind of jagged. my feet are still kinda sore from walking on it.

So I did something new, something different, and something not me for a change
I went to a club for a friend's birthday

Fun times ensue, albeit this guy from work beside me wouldn't stop insisting that I hit on girls. I was more than happy just drinking my Johnny Walkers (all four ounces of it)
Meanwhile, another fellow kept insisting I chug my scotch. Explaining to a drunk person how to appreciate the flavour of a drink is similar to explaining calculus to an infant

3am, club closes, and we all take a Limo. All eleven of us crammed into this limo blasting away the beats. We all ended up at the apartment of one of them where more drinks ensued (not for me, the bastard didn't have any scotch), laughter and molestation apparently

No scotch? drink somthing else. told to down it? "let me get somthing cheaper mate", you're at a club, you're not there to appreciate the flavor of scotch, that's something for you to do in your own home, just go with the flow, always the best way to run a night.

It comes down to personal preference as to what is the best way to enjoy yourself and to run a night. Mine just isn't getting ****faced like three other people there

uses a lot of deprecated opengl right now since one of the computers I'm working on has a weird opengl distribution on it and doesn't seem to support some of the newer stuff, but hopefully I can get everything sorted out once I move to a more modern computer.

I eventually found a weakpoint in his elaborate scheme and managed to get home, but I was this close to getting myself attacked or sprayed by it
I say this because our neighborhood skunk is more aggressive than most. It chased after me when I was taking my dog for a walk once
Safe to say, we both ran for it

in other news, i'm being a lazy ass and missing a perfect skim day.  my excuse is i'm too tired and sore from yesterday, but it's pretty flimsy.  it better not suck tomorrow or i'm gonna be really pissed at myself, especially now that i seem to be making some good forward progress after a pretty dismal last year.

so after the nearly 3 weeks of downtime since my desktop ate it, and wasting all of today waiting for the delivery that finally got here at 8 pm, and reassembling my entire system, the problem isn't fixed.  the remaining explanation seems to be my video card happened to fry at EXACTLY the same time i flashed my BIOS.  how the hell that happened, i don't know.  now i have to either track down a friend with a card i can borrow to confirm or take it on faith and buy a new one.  ****.  it's not supposed to be time for a new vid card yet, this one is a 6950. 

i've never had such rotten luck with computers since i started building my own in 10th grade.  maybe this is just it all catching up.

yeah, well i either have to shell out a substantial amount again for the same level card, or put out around $400 for only one generation newer.  i usually skip at least 2 generations.  i went from radeon 9800 pro to 4850 to 6950 (flashed to 6970).  i've also never spent $400 on a video card.


well, the good news is i'm still under warranty.  the bad news is that many internet reviews state that HIS RMA process takes about a month.  on top of that, flashing the BIOS probably voids the warranty, and i have no idea if they would discover i've done that.  so do i take the risk on the RMA and go without my desktop for another month, or shell out for a new vid card?  i've got the cash to spare, but i have a hard time making myself spend money on stuff i don't have to.

"Sue Drummond was walking her beloved Shih Tzu, Bibi, on a pier in Melbourne, when a fierce gust of wind picked him up and hurled him into the rough waters of the bay. A passerby, Raden Soemawinata, who happened to be on the pier that day to scatter his grandmother's ashes, wasted no time in stripping down and diving into the bay to rescue the animal."

so when i went to the beach today for an evening session, there were police, fire, and other assorted emergency personnel EVERYWHERE as i drove up, and when i got onto the sand several boats and a helicopter patrolling.  didn't figure out what was going on at the time, but hoping on the internet back home reveals a 10 year old kid is missing, ans surely drowned by now.  they haven't found his body yet.

so beach safety tips:
1) if you can't swim/are a poor swimmer, you have NO business going out to far sandbars, no matter how shallow it is or how easy it is to get there.  tides change that in a hurry.
2) never go out to rescue someone alone.  the woman who got to them first was almost drowned herself by the kids pulling her under.  other people got there in time to save them.
3) you're not cool for sneaking up onto the construction pier and jumping off.  the reporters don't know who the people who did this were though, maybe they were people trying to help, but it confused the lifeguards and police.

i wish i could swim in our water at our beech and not catch hypothermia. ****ing glaciers dumping ice into it. though there is an epic swimming hole at the gravel pit near my sister's place. it just needs to be sunny for a week to heat it to acceptable levels. and the creek isnt bad place to swim when the fish aren't biting (also a good place to get free lures). swimming at a beach is kinda dull after youve swam in places with razor sharp rocks or 3 feet of silt at the bottom.

I'm watching a recorded debate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7XUsgat1j0) between Eugenie C. Scott and Kent Hovind about the merits of the Theory of Evolution and Biblically literal Young-Earth Creationism.  At twenty-five minutes into the fifty-minute runtime, Hovind, while denying the Theory of Evolution, has proposed that common ancestors to modern animals are what were shuffled onto Noah's Ark, and that in 4,400 years, those ancestors developed into their modern equivilants.  What he's done, essentially, is said that the Biblical account of creation not only requires the Theory of Evolution, but it requires that evolution function about three to four (or more) orders of magnitude faster than science proposes.

I swear, I'm going to watch the rest of this debate, but I need to stop laughing first.

that is only one helicopter configuration. my favorite configuration is the intermeshing rotor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermeshing_rotors) and the coaxial rotor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_rotors) is pretty impressive as well. both designs address the issue of retreating blade stall and dissymmetry of lift, they aldo dont waste engine power on driving a tail rotor by eliminating it entirely. why the classic single rotor design is still used is beyond me, its probibly less expensive, and adequate for civilian applications. of course you can still do away with the tail rotor on a single rotor copter with the NOTAR system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOTAR). though i figure the future of helicopters is going to be complex multi-rotor designs, aka deathtraps, because humans always pick the most absurd route to engineering advances.

that is only one helicopter configuration. my favorite configuration is the intermeshing rotor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermeshing_rotors) and the coaxial rotor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_rotors) is pretty impressive as well. both designs address the issue of retreating blade stall and dissymmetry of lift, they aldo dont waste engine power on driving a tail rotor by eliminating it entirely. why the classic single rotor design is still used is beyond me, its probibly less expensive, and adequate for civilian applications. of course you can still do away with the tail rotor on a single rotor copter with the NOTAR system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOTAR). though i figure the future of helicopters is going to be complex multi-rotor designs, aka deathtraps, because humans always pick the most absurd route to engineering advances.
coaxial rotors are brilliant things and as you say they actually fix many issues the things have, including asymmetric lift, shame only the Russians seem to be interested in them in any serious way.  I still would prefer to be in a fixed wing if the engines fail.

Whatever their mechanical quirks, helicopters are still pretty damn cool, and the main point is that I could actually get to learn to fly them, which trumps all other points on the scale of interesting.

Now's the perfect time to learn how to fly, since the higher-end heli's take care of most of the stabilization :).

Yes, exactly. Helicopters are far less efficient at slow speeds because most of the power used is directed towards achieving zero-weight buoyancy. At higher speeds, I think the efficiency reaches that of an airplane (and yes, there are super-sonic helicopters).

But the main point about helicopters is their hovering and VTOL ability. Even the JSF can toast bystanders on the ground while it's landing/taking off, much less burn down an open grass field. Helicopters don't have this issue.

The V-22 Osprey Bi-tilt-rotor is perhaps the best combination of a helicopter and airplane, since it can change flight modes to suit the need. Thankfully the engineers worked out that nasty spiral-of-doom problem with it, so they're safe.

There's also some archived plans for a V-44 Quad-tilt-rotor that's about the size of an AC-130. (Basically it's the heavy-lift version of the V-22).

on a large enough aircraft an engine failure can be pretty catastrophic. you have a large massive object with a huge cross section causing a large amount of drag. not to mention producing any large amount of lift will also ramp up the drag, thus bleeding off more potential energy. a smaller, lighter aircraft with low overall drag can glide quite well. a heavy vehicle can glide too, case in point: the space shuttle. of course you have teams of experts planning the glide slope out in detail before you even think about reentry, and the computer does most of the heavy lifting in that case, and the obvious fact that ti was designed to glide in and has a pilot that knows how to glide heavy vehicles. even a helicopter can autorotate to give you a margin of survivability with an engine failure. but what it really comes down to is: does the aircraft have enough potential energy to reach a runway, or for a helicopter, any mostly flat clearing? and secondarily: how skilled is your pilot?

After about six weeks of just non-stop activity, my body needs to recover. Woke up today with a cold and a sore throat, and I can feel it getting worse; I'm starting to feel weak already. Lucky it happened during the holidays and not before. I'm putting my plans on hold for the next few days, and will be lying low at home trying to get better.

Well, so far New Mexico has avoided any firework-bearing morons starting a giant fire. Hopefully that continues.

Most major stores weren't even selling fireworks this year due to the dryness and the proximity of that fire in Colorado. Heck, the only reason fireworks weren't outright banned is that the governor doesn't actually have the legal authority to do that.

Asylum, as in, when someone rocks up seeking asylum, the time it takes for the appropriate authority to take a look and say 'come in' or 'get the **** out'. In Australia, people spend the majority of that time in detention centres, which quite literally send people crazy.

The asylum (refugee, actually) program in Canada is seriously ****ed and currently being only-slightly-fixed by our present government.  Refugee processing takes YEARS here.  The initial applications are done at the border with a hearing within a set period (which I can't remember offhand, it's been three years since I worked there), but the actual process takes years and we virtually never detain anyone.  True story:  I once oversaw the deportation of false refugee claimants who had been in Canada for NINE years before we finally got them shoved on a plane.

Do not even think of showing our system up as a beacon of progressive immigration law.  Our whole immigration system has its mechanics in need of serious overhaul.  Until we imposed visas on them, Mexico and the Czech Republic were the two largest source countries of refugees (which were overwhelmingly found false or abandoned), despite that fact that thousands of legitimate refugees are sitting and waiting in camps in both the Middle East and Africa.

Cable, feeding some nearby houses.  The picture's a bit deceptive due to the cropping -- the power lines you're seeing are a lot farther than they look.

was playing a game of mwll on a terrain control map and thanks to some epic base capturing in a cheap owens and a couple kills. i was able to get an early madcat. i then proceded to use said madcat to turn light mechs into smoldering piles of liquid metal. eventually i got too cocky and my madcat was then likewise reduced to a pile of smoldering metal. but due to some late game comebacks the clan won the match and i ended with a decent number of kills and the rank of galaxy commander.

Ordered a cheap TV tuner for my computer: a Hauppauge HVR-1800. Not the newest thing but it should work for basic cable. I'm only going to use it to record a few TV shows--mostly new episodes of shows not yet on Netflix. Oh well: it's an $16 TV tuner so what's the worst that could happen?

Otherwise, I've been looking for cheap hard drives for a week or two now. I really wanna upgrade my 2TB RAID1 array to a 4TB or 6TB RAID5 array. Unfortunately, Samsung hard drives are no longer produced as Seagate replaced my HD204UI with some cheap Barracuda. That means either I need to sell my HD204UI's and buy 3-4 new drives or I can try and find 1-2 new HD204UI's. I also need to find another WD Black 1TB drive so I can backup my music library and build a RAID0 array with another (currently full) single disk.

And finally, I'm thinking of installing WHS2011 on my server--to replace Windows 7 Pro x64. That won't happen until I upgrade to a RAID5 array, though.

Instead of having any one of the computers running all around me play music, I am playing Gowan's Strange Animal LP on the turntable.

That's -somewhat- true, with a very expensive turntable, that has been perfectly balanced and tuned, with a mint-condition LP and no ambient noise in the room the player is in. None of which I have, my turntable being a mid-range mid-80's Akai with a $50 needle that doesn't really match the player, and my copy of Strange Animal having been played over and over by my mother as I was growing up.

There is a bit of a subjective naturalness to vinyl, however, brought on by the inherent imperfections and the fact that the needle by necessity picks up on ambient noise, often making vinyl sound more spacious and giving it the impression of greater detail and soundstage, despite it likely being a product of imperfection rather than improved fidelity.

I was more commenting on the elements of logical backwardness of being surrounded by large collections of music in easy to access digital formats and yet still bothering to maintain a turntable, flip a record and retain the space for the whole setup in my fairly tiny apartment.

On a related note, you know what's damn near impossible to find? Gowan's initial, self-titled album, with Kim Mitchell playing guitar. And if Amazon is to be believed, my copy of his Lost Brotherhood CD is worth in the neighborhood of 20 dollars. Which featured Rush's Alex Lifeson.

And one of the guys from Yes sang backing vocals on one of the singles from his 3rd album.

And apparently Akon sampled Criminal Mind in some song of his.

The things you discover when nostalgia convinces you to browse the interwebs.

i got a turn table at a thrift store. right now its in my closet with an old willie nelson album on it. someone stole my johnny cash album that i stole from grandma. anyway i got this thing connected rather hackishly through a couple opamps to pre-amp the signal and the outputs get fed to a set of ipod speakers. it sounds ok but not great, considering audio amplifiers aren't really my specialty. without the pre-amp you would need to turn the speakers up all the way to hear anything.

anyway i once discussed the concept of an analog optical format with an old electrical engineer (who claims that he invented dsp). instead of having a bunch of uniformly sized pits and flat spots represent ones and zeros, the spot diameter at any point along the track would modulate to an analog signal. we really couldnt come up with any reason why it wouldnt work, provided it was possible to modulate the burning laser's power output and lens focus to allow the burning of various spot sizes. where a simple phototransistor would read the reflected light intensity producing an analog signal that can be fed into an amplifier. there was some question about capacity however. it would get around the problem of media wear and degradation that has plagued analog formats from day one.

Op-amps have a good bandwidth for being used as a pre-amp to the speakers, to get better performance out of them you could stick a first-order LPF set at 20KHz (or so) on the input of the pre-amp to reduce static. If you want to get finiky about it, you'd have to double check the spec's of the speaker to see it's input voltage and current ranges (and input impedance) and then modify your pre-amp so that it fills this range as comfortable as possible.

The capacity of said analog format would depend on the quality of the burner's focus adjustment servo, as well as the quality of the phototransitor and SNR capabilities of the decoder circuitry. The servo would have to be a direct drive in order to eliminate gear back-lash issues, but they have some pretty tiny motors now days, so it's totally doable. Position sensing of the servo (for position control) could be done with an optical wheel encoder or (better yet) a hall-effect sensor.

Samsung has had ICS for my Galaxy S2 (E4GT)--Sprint rolled out the source a day or two ago and made the update available today. It didn't take too long, but most of today I've been "playing" with my phone. I reskinned it with Apex and customized the UI. It's pretty cool overall. Too bad I probably won't get official 4.1/JB.

Otherwise, my cheap TV tuner arrived and seems to be functional. It's a Hauppauge HVR-1800 built for an OEM, so it's only got a digital and an analog tuner. No FM tuner (which I am slightly disappointed about) though.

I also won the auction for the 2TB drives (two WD2001FASS-00W2B0) and a 1TB drive (WD1001FALS-00J7B0). I have an identical 1TB drive already--so I'll back that up and put the two in a RAID0. Now my conundrum is whether to put the two Black 2TB drives in their own RAID1 array or whether to stick them in a mismatched RAID5 with my current pair of Samsung F4EG 2TB (HD204UI) drives. I'm definitely leaning towards the RAID5 for the additional capacity.

Just finished Gears of War 3 for the second time (on my own xbox this time), and finally sussed out why the beach scene at the end irked me more than the rest of the hammy cutscenes in the game. It because it is a scene I've observed at the end of a bunch of JRPGs, almost word for word plus the camera angles.

Now I'm not sure if I'm angry at the lack of imagination for then ending, slightly smug that it appears the devs for a massively popular game took inspiration from a genre often dismissed and sneered at by the masses, or dispair that I may have just wasted almost a whole day playing a rather pedestrian cover-based TPS that I had laying about for an undisclosed amount of time.    :confused:

i thought i had finally beaten my desktop into submission and had it at 100% again, but i started to get screen flicker.  backing off the overclock didn't fix it, but switching to the backup BIOS did.  not sure if i burned it out or not.  my card is just determined not to unlock to 6970 properly.  i did finally discover however, that something in the new motherboard BIOS that enables ivy bridge was what caused the whole problem to begin with.  similar reports from ASUS users who updated their BIOS.  i have to wonder if AMD somehow convinced mobo manufacturers to break compatibility with the unlocking.  but i can't figure out why they would really care anymore with a new gen of cards out that should attract most of the people who would do this now.

had an epic killing spree in mwll. it was a terrain control map, and the whole team was failing miserably to take one base. i figured the enemy were distracted from the other control points on the map. so i grabbed a raven and proceded to go passive and circumnavigate the map, taking 4 bases in a row without seeing a single enemy mech. and the 4th base had a mech bay, so i traded up for a madcat mk2, the beatstick varient. again i go passive and continue my run, all of the sudden a light mech crests a ridge right in front of me, and i fire all four of my lbx autocannons right into his cockpit. leaving a slightly damaged mech that needed to be hosed out. then i realized there were 5 other mechs behind it. i managed to take out 3 more mechs before they killed me. this allowed my idiot teamates enough of a distraction to take the other 2 control points left open. we ultimately lost the match because of too much target fixation and emphasizing kills/not getting killed over tickets.

Sunday. 2am
I have myself a Siglo I cigar paired with Green Label Johnnie Walkers
This is a great start to my birthday

Later that day, I had brunch with my family (ribs, corn, rice, salad) followed by wonderful gifts
One of which being the complete saga for Star Wars (Bluray). I know what I'm doing all of one day

Off to work. I've already worked 36 hours this week, so I let the KM (Kitchen Manager) know that after eight o'clock, I'll be making overtime. Instead of having me do just that, he decides that he'll cut me loose when that time comes so as to save labour. Later he finds out that it is my birthday, so goes ahead and let's me know that it was well deserved either way

So I work those four hours, easy money. What do I do after? I have myself a a wonderful meal with a free dessert. My server? She offered to buy me a drink as a gift. Scotch ended up being what I chose (naturally)

Porto Chicken, The Cookie, Coffee and Scotch. Everyone wishing me a happy birthday at work, and possibly a week off in August
Great day all in all

Minus the flickering lights which ****ed up my monitor. Had to go to another computer to find a fix (which worked, so all is good and well)

If you act responsible, people generally think your 5 or so years older. For some reason, society seems to believe 18 to 23 year olds are raving hormonal driven zombies.

Except there are higher quality models available that won't come apart because of regular abuse. You don't have to use cheap & thin wires with everything.

actually my thing lately is to get headphones that are easy to open up, so that the primary point of failure, the wires, can be replaced with a little soldering wizardry.

or just take a little preventative action and drop a solder blob on there from the get-go.  hmm.  that makes me think, i wonder if a glob of super glue or epoxy or something at the base of the earbud cords would prevent them from pulling out and shorting.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Post by: Nuke on July 16, 2012, 09:50:22 pm
thats seldom the point of failure in my expirience. cheap headphone wiring doesnt like to isolate the wires with individual sheaths, this would hinder the flexibility of the cables and result in fatter wires (omg the cables are too thick!), so instead they like to use tiny strands of enamel wire, which share a common sheath. wire makers are cheap so they usually only put enamel on one of the conductors and use bare wire for the other. what happens is that as the cable flexes these wire rub against eachother. if the enamel wears off, you got a short. and its just as likely that one of the conductors will just break outright (they arent very tough). soldier connections on the other hand tend to be rather tough, and so they dont break.

yes some of the higher end headphones have better wiring and better everything else, and if youre an audiophile it makes since to buy them. for me its a hard sell though. i dont give a **** about sound quality and i dont need them to look cool. i just want a pair of headphones that you plug in and they make noise, it doesnt need to sound good at all i listen to black metal and it sounds best when it sounds like ****. if they made a pair of headphones that were designed to be durable, not targeting audiophiles at all, id consider buying them.

Me at work, climbing into the ceiling to open up the door beside me
Our closing manager decided to leave the only set of keys with the ability to open up that door in that room
So I climbed my ****ing way in there, opened up that ****, and made way with a single phrase
"Un****ing believable Jenna"



EDIT:
Random rant that I came up with for no real reason




Scents. Clearly people have no sense

Old Spice deodorant. Here I am looking at my options. I could smell like “White Water” or “Game Day” or “Pure Sport”. I crack open the lid and give it a whiff. I then proceed to attempt a correlation between the scent and the description to which I can’t, because “Pure Sport” makes me think sweat and blood.

I mean come the **** on. Why is it, that every deodorant for men has some obscure description as to what the the hell it smells like? How can I relate to “Showtime”? What kind of ****ing name for a scent is that?
“Oh hello there sir, what are you wearing? That scent is exquisite!”
“It’s nothing fancy, just SHOWTIME!”
Everytime I see that scent, I see Eddie Murphy’s face popping out of the label with Robert De Niro’s condescending look right behind him.

So my question is, where do these things come from? Aqua Reef? Swagger? I wasn’t even aware you could smell like swagger! BUT NOW YOU CAN WITH OLD SPICE SWAGGER. Who sits down there thinking “This smells like swagger, so it shall be thus named swagger”. What the ****

See, if I want to smell like something, I want something tangible. Something I know what the smell for it is.

Flame grilled steak for example. I know this smell. I would love to smell like steak all the time because that’s how I roll. Nobody will go asking “What is that god awful smell” to which I’ll have to respond with “Game Day”. No, it will be “My god, I feel like a ****ing steak right now” which opens up the perfect opportunity for “You can take a bite out of me anytime”.

But of course, we could always go with something simple. Vanilla, for example. There’s nothing wrong with walking about the mall smelling like vanilla. Why? Because vanilla is awesome and anyone who says otherwise are heretics. If they have an issue with a man smelling like vanilla, it’s just because they were jealous they didn’t think of that before they went off smelling like “Pure Sport”

I have the same beef with the perfume/cologne adverts. For all the barely hidden boobs and artsy-fartsy-ness, they just don't tell you what it smells like.

But you can't really tell what a car feels like to drive until you do. Their names make even less sense as the majority of names are complete gobbledeegook. It's all about test drives/samples :yes:

Recently created an account on LinkedIn. Found someone who I went to high school with. Hadn't heard from her in 5 years.

Evidently, she hit the "I don't know this person" button, and as a result I was henceforth unable to send invites to ANYONE without knowing their email. And without a pro account, you can't message people who aren't in your network.

And of course (although she probably doesn't care, and at this point I don't much care) she probably has no idea that her doing that had any consequences. I wonder, did she really not recognize my name? Or did she recognize my name but think "I don't know him [anymore]"? Or did she recognize my name and think "Where is the block button? Ah, close enough" ?

But whatever. It's over.

In conclusion: I ****ing hate LinkedIn.

I made a post on a political forum today.  The regular posters there typically use op-eds from the likes of Fox News and Huffington Post to back up their claims, if they provide any supporting information for their claims at all.  When I used studies from the Government Accountability Office and Congressional Budget Office to back up the claims in my post, I was scolded for not using credible sources.

Not surprising. There's a reason the general public doesn't usually read scholarly articles or government reports. On the other hand, those reasons amount to pretty much squat when you're talking about a forum dedicated to politics.

Finished reading the 'Deepgate Codex' series. Was disappointed by the lack of closure and ridiculus amount of questions the epilogue raised.

Why the FLYING **** is it that the books I read mostly start off strong, keep the trend going for a couple of books and then plummet in the last few chapters? I almost fear reading the last 'Artemis Fowl', as I've been reading the series since primary school and I'm not to sure if any form of ending will meet my expectations.

The hipster part is only due to the implication that you stopped using the brand once it achieved meme status.

of the 8 ships i sent to mun, most of them blew up. 3 of them didnt even have landing gear. i set 2 down on their side and blew em up trying to take off. i lost several screwing around on the surface of mun after landing. one got slammed in to the surface because windows thought it would be a good idea to turn on stickey keys, preventeng me from doing a time critical burn. the only ship that got back to kerbin was kind of damaged on landing on mun. thr struts had filed and the rocket had toppled. so some of the landing legs and drop tankes were ripped off. i let the ship settle, ejected the remaining drop tanks, which were half full. i set the engine to full and nosed off with the rcs thrusters, dispite all the missing parts i had a nice return trajectory which grazed the atmosphere. when i got there i tweaked my trajectory so i would land in water, and helped the breaking with some left over engine power. so i got low and slow enough to open my parachute and it looked like i would get some of the green guys home. of course when the chutes opened up fully the lunge was enough to detatch the capsule, killing all 3 kerbonaughts. i dont know what to do about the 9 guys still on mun though. i hope jeb didnt help install the life support system.

What do I do?


I go to work to powerwash for one of the managers. Three hours worth of shooting water at whatever thing I can see possible to clean the **** out of
Afterwards, dinner and drinks at the restaurants bar

Honestly, wouldn't want to spent my day off in any other fashion than talking with friends, getting paid to have fun, and drinking ****. The bartender took a big gulp of my beer though
That was after I gave him a four dollar tip on a seventeen dollar bill

The problem with a 5.1 audio setup is that you occasionally hear something behind you, and it's very difficult to tell if it came from the speakers or the apartment.

My unit was originally a stay-out unit until today, when it was decided that we should be a stay-in unit. What this means is that we can still leave camp after office hours, but we need to get back before midnight every night except weekends.

I live about an hour away from my camp if I take public transport, so this essentially means that I'm only sleeping in a different bedroom. In addition, because we are now a stay-in unit, we get to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in camp itself. It's not a bad thing; the food's quite good, and we pay nothing for it.

I distincly remember in an old FPS game that had a macro of "psst, hey!" I used said macro while I knifed a guy from behind. He later said that when he heard the macro, he literally turned his head away from the screen to see who it was, only to find out nobody was there and somehow his guy in the game died when he wasn't looking.

Have heard many a funny story about this. In particular, read one where the chick leaped out of the lad's closet during morning inspection, when the Sergeant realised that she wasn't on the Private soldier's approved kit list, ran through the barracks to the laugh and clap of shame, and THEN onto the frakking parade-ground! To which the RSM did not take kindly to.

Whoop! Got my first scam mail from the 'central bank of Nigeria', and apparently they use gmail too. I think I'll send a polite and civil response, asking them to kindly cease all attempts at contacting me.

How does this sound:

Dear Dr. Lamido Sanusi,

Please would you **** off. On second thought, please go take a lit stick of dynamite, shove it up your arse, and sing "I'm a little teapot" until the fuse burns down. I have (and most likely never will) had no contact with the Central Bank of Nigeria, and any further attempts at contact that have not been instigated by myself or an approved representative will be met with legal action and/or tracking down the sender and proceeding to systematically dismember them over the course of two weeks, alive and  in the presence of their family. This will be my last and only warning.

Yours 'Friendly'

The last person you want to piss off.

Does that get my point across clearly?

So I'm on a roll here when it comes to d'awww moments (or similar)

First up, here I am, sitting at the bar
Server comes up next to me, grabbing a tray located down below
"Just ignore me" She states
"Why would I want to do that?"
"Good answer! I like you" followed by a nice smile and refreshed outlook on the day

Second occasion. Server from work, her and I have this interesting relationship where we'd just do random things during our conversations (generally viewed as weird)
"Megan, never change"
"Haha, well I'm glad someone appreciates my weirdness"
"Na, it's not weird. It's just you"
"D'awww"

Same person, but a second time today
Sneak up on her, put my arms on her shoulders
"MEGAAAAAN"
"Oh my god Andrew, you just made my heart stop!"
"Consider it revenge for all the times you've made mine stop"
(gladly didn't have to explain this one)
"D'awww"


I have fun at work

he said solid state drive....

I've never even considered them because they cost so damn much and I don't consider load times nearly important enough to drop close to $1 per GB.  Although I did get a hybrid drive for my laptop because it was as cheap as a normal drive at the time, and am really happy with the much improved startup time.  I'm kinda thinking about getting one for my desktop now.  Do they make 3.5" hybrids?  Or maybe I'll just use that one for my desktop whenever I get around to buying a new laptop.

That actually made me stop hating humanity for a whole minute, before I realised that it'd be hard to rule the world under an iron fist if I gave in to anything cute and fuzzy. I can imagine it now...

"Sir, the upstart rebels have completely destroyed your Luna death ray."

"WHAT!? I'll have the commander's head on a pike!"

"Look sir, a door mouse on a dandelion."

"Hehehe....fuzzy."

well ****. Lightning came in on my computer while I was taking the Alcohol EDU course and I lost all my notes because I didn't save what I had in notepad as a text file at any time.
My computer will still turn on but it won't boot windows. Startup repair immediately launched and then that didn't do anything. ****.

A prime example of why surge protectors are important.  :nod:

Make up a linux disc and see if it'll boot that. Might help give you an idea whether or not there's an issue with the motherboard/CPU/RAM, or with the hard drive.

eventually it booted windows, and I had a surge protector. Don't know if it still works though.

Pretty much.

In other news, I'm redoing my computers right now. I fixed my Lian-Li PC-9F's collapsed power button--turns out the switch assembly fell through the floor of its holder. I popped it back so I'm hopeful it won't be an issue again. If it is, some superglue should fix it. I switched PSU's on the main--from a Corsair 750TX to an XFX 650W XXX-Edition. Also added a new WD Black 1TB drive. The new drive matches my old Black 1TB drive so I'll be putting them into RAID0 later. Otherwise, I added some SATA pass-through caps. I need to figure out a solution to power the optical drive.

My two new WD Black 2TB drives are currently formatting while my pair of Samsung F4EG 2TB's (in RAID1) backup to the new WD Black 1TB drive. I'm going to setup a mismatched RAID5 array across all 4 2TB drives--with any luck I'll have a 6TB usable array by the end of the night. Otherwise, if they disagree too much, I'll probably use the old Samsung drives in RAID1 and the new Black 2TB drives in a second RAID1. I've still gotta run a scandisk on all the drives.

i dont really give a **** if our reality is simulated or not. either way there is no point to any of it.

ive always considered life collectively to be one big fractal. where entire generations are mere iterations, and the individual is not important. some branches burn out and die without so much as a whimper. others burn hot and die glorious deaths but not before spawning other branches. things we do dont really affect it much. things like war, murder, genocide, religious oppression dont even blemish it. it will go on. we might be able to take it into space and give it more room to grow, but it will look much the same as it does now and only scales of time and space will change. its ok the people in that iteration will be equally as worthless as the ones from this iteration.

My server upgrade is in its final stages. I've backed up the old data, built a 6TB usable RAID5 array, tested the new array, and am now migrating the old data back. Writing to a software RAID5 is definitely slow. It'll probably be writing for the next 24 hours--about 1.5TB of data.

Watched the Olympic torch go through my area today. One of my old friends from school is a torch bearer, but due to being guilt tripped by my Mum  into watching some other guy half a mile down the route I didn't get to see me friend. To my credit, I did manage to sprint 90% of the distance all the while dodging through about a thousand people (for a shot period of time my world became a QTE, Shenmue style) on an empty stomach and without water, before keeling over as my vision turned a most intresting array of greys.

I'm wondering how anyone could compare Jager favorably to the taste of some other drink...the smell alone made me gag.

I think I just got someone to unfriend me on Facebook by getting into an argument with them over a sensitive topic I probably should have never replied to in the first place.  I'm not exactly broken up about it, but it does make me feel pretty damn stupid.  One of these days my utter lack of reservation is probably going to get my ass in trouble...

I typically never drink, but when I do...

...I prefer wine. It's inherently easier to understand and drink than beer or... nearly non-toxic gasoline (you know what I mean).

But dark beer is magically delicious. Fat Tire is also a wonderful tasting brew (non-dark), should you have the privilage.

and now the sun is trying to shine through the storm clouds, and the result is the world appears to have turned a shade of orange.  when i first looked up and noticed it i seriously ran outside to check if lighting had started a fire.

Well, my grandfather fell and broke his neck... in three places.  And, in the true fashion of my family, got up, swiveled his head around and said "See, I'm fine." until Grandma made him go to the hospital.  He then tried to sign himself out early.  He should be getting out today, but they are going to have trouble keeping him from going back to work.
Note:  apparently the fractures were low, where not much would move anyway.

Get with the times, bro... :p

Paint.net is not a bad program, but as its name implies, it's like a better version of Paint in many regards. Again, it's not bad, but it will not replace the high-level features that GIMP is capable of producing. If you have to spend time with one, choose GIMP. I've played with both, and GIMP is a superior long-term solution to artistic works.

Only because it has more built-in plugins than Paint.net initially :P

About the only thing GIMP has over Paint.net is that it's cross-platform (whereas Paint.net is Windows machines only, unless you use an emulator like WINE)

That does sound horrible. :p Plus, we had no idea what was wrong with him, so I wouldn't just declare him dead when it could have possibly been something treatable with medication.  The cost wasn't all that bad, either...I spend twice as much to see a doctor for five minutes to get a prescription renewed.

That's when there's a slight mishap in your attaching the fireworks, and instead of it going straight up, it goes into someone's window, crashing through it
You'll have to explain why there's Jeb pieces and tinfoil in their living room.

Elven archers were really only ever deployed in token numbers in the movie so it's hard to say. On one hand everyone always seems to be a total 1337 h4x0r pr0 at archery, but they still can't seem to figure out how to fight a war with them.

Also another thing that annoys me: 1) swords seem to be able to magically cut through chainmail and 2) goddamn near everyone has chainmail or plate armor

EDIT: I'm sure the book explains everything, but my fiction backlog is big enough. :(

Some of the swords where made out of mithril (I think), but I haven't read anything in the book (yet) that says if it can cleave through chainmail and platemail easily.

Note: it IS possible to stab through chainmail and platemail given a good tip... This is perhaps one of the advantages the Romans had in their training (stabbing vs. slashing)

In other news:

Had a hearing test today due to getting fed up with random bouts of temporary hearing loss over the last couple of years, and the recent development of bumping into things as I walk. Got referred to the hospital because the GP couldn't find what was wrong, and ear problems run in my family.  Now have to wait eight weeks for the hospital to contact me.  :doubt:

Also tried almond milk for the first time. My chest went tight almost immediately, but it was tasty so I dropped a couple of allergy tablets down my neck and fun was had by all. Except for the weetabix. They got eaten.

IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!

it spent over half of the book recapping itself. it spent another quarter recapping the events of the legends of dune series. the rest of the book was cliffhangers and plot holes. i really didnt think they could **** over the machine era books. i mean the ledgends series wasn't all that bad, they had some level of flexibility in the duniverse and could pull it off without assraping the original six dunes or any of the original characters from the series (unlike the prelude to dune series). its comforting to know that BH&KJA are fully capable of jacking all over their own crap, in addition to the legendary frank herbert's stuff.  we should take their water for the good of the tribe.

Because it's long, stupidly difficult, and doesn't fit at all with the game's premise.  This is supposed to be guerrilla warfare, and now I'm taking on a never-ending (really, they respawn infinitely) army by myself with a single fking tank.  And then I have to get out of it and run through 20+ heavily armed troops with no cover to get to the objective.  Which is a ****ing tank that I now have to kill ON FOOT, again with no cover, and the ammo box doesn't supply me the rockets I need to do it.  Blowing a bunch of **** up with a rapid-fire rocket launching tank is only fun so many times.

Even though I got the game second hand and in a deal, I still feel as if I wasted my money on it. The story was boring and short, the gameplay was bland and most of the weapons were (in my eyes) useless.

So, you have an issue with the fact that the EDF realized what you guys were trying to do, and dispatched everything to stop you? That makes sense really, given how much pain and suffering you caused them already throughout the game with the Guerrilla tactics

I personally didn't have an issue with that tank part, nor the taking on a tank by foot part. Afterall, my equipment was set to destroy (Thermo Rocket, Nano Rifle, and Gauss Rifle). Not only that, but how's that differ from all the other tanks you've taken on by foot?

I still haven't received anything of consequence for my birthday, which was now over three weeks ago.  Granted, I never gave any ideas and kind of said that I didn't want anything, so I only have myself to blame. :p

x2.  i got a wall rack for my surf/skim boards from my parents just because they never let a birthday/christmas pass without at least a token gift.  i already have a rack for my skimboards that i spent a lot of time finishing and making much nicer than the one they sent me, and the surfboard sits in the corner and doesn't get used.  it's more of a decor piece and looks better where it is than it would on the rack.  no one outside of my family and those who checked facebook that day even knew about it.  i went to a party the night before for someone else's birthday that was a week later.  the only thing i cared about though was i never heard from the special lady.  no call, no text, not even a facebook post.   :(  she's never done that since high school.

The trouble with sarcasm on the internet - especially when you don't know the other person - is that there's no exact science to detecting if someone really is being sarcastic.

I appreciate you may have not intended to be rude. Just be mindful in future of how things come across. Many thanks :)

the irony is that i asked for whores, dope, and plutonium. instead i get booze, toys, and tools. maybe something gets lost in the translation somewhere.

anyway birthday over. im a little drunk (not as much as last night though) and getting ready for a hunting trip. im also quite exausted. everyone was more excited about my birthday than i was. early this morning they were yelling and screaming at eachother to get ready to go to the pool. but because of all the noise i was completely unable to sleep. so i told everyone to go without me. i got up a little later and wanted to take a shower, but everyone used all the towels, so i had to do some laundry (which i needed for my hunting trip anyway). since i had some time to burn before my shower i cleaned all the dishes that i didnt used, and picked up after my excessively messy family. i had some time to put my drill press together as well. then i hopped in the shower, and by the time i got out pizza had arrived. i hadn't even got a chance to eat before they trashed the place and dirtied all the dishes again. then we had cake.  my sister made this massive abomination of a chocolate cake with with chocolate frosting, chocolate chips and extra chocolate. while the cake was good it was also way bigger than we needed. especially considering both my mom and my sister are on a diet, and the kids went to bed early. so out of this massive 20 pound cake, only the slightest sliver got eaten. i then tried to explain to my sister what the word modest means. we played some starcraft, and we watched a couple episodes of game of thrones. everyone got to bed and i cleaned house again so i wouldn't have to do it in the morning (il probibly have to clean house tomorrow). im glad i get to go take my frustrations out by slaughtering helpless animals in the not too distant future.

now that its the 6th we can celebrate the bombing of hiroshima and the birth of america as a nuclear power. yay!

I've been in a really ****ty mood lately. One of my friends said something that implied that there were differing levels of 'Australianism' and that ethnics (he was tactful enough not to include my ethnicity) were somehow 'so-called' Australians about a week and a half ago. Since then I've accidentally and sometimes deliberately immersed myself in all the racism that Australia has to offer and I've felt like absolute ****e. I have absolutely no tether left on my tolerance for intolerance, and some of my right-wing friends (I only have a handful, thank gosh) have been making jokes about immigration since its been a hot-button issue over here.

TL;DR: Seriously about to neck the next **** who makes a joke about throwing out immigrants or 'turning back the boats'. ****. How ****ing hard is it to be tolerant? I ****ing hate conservatopia.

Driving to work on the interstate.  Raining.  Driver side windshield wiper starts to struggle, then breaks completely.  Flops off to the side and now wrapped around to the side of the car.  Had to exit the freeway and make it a mile or so to the nearest garage by leaning over to the passenger side to see. 

After getting that fixed at the shadiest auto shop I've ever seen in my life, I finally went to the bank to open a savings account, which I've needed to do for the past year and a half.  Deposited most of my cash to the new account.  Went to the store from there - cash only because their card reader system was down.

Squeeeeaked past the body fat percentage test at the recruitment office today.  I now have an appointment for a physical on Tuesday, upon the completion of which I will be formally enlisted, though I will not take the oath or ship out for BCT for several months.  In mid-January, I pack up for Fort Benning, Georgia for nine and a half weeks of basic.  From there, I will be going to Fort Bragg, South Carolina for ten weeks while I undergo my advanced training in Civil Affairs.

Since the name "civil affairs" isn't very descriptive: I am going to be the guy who talks to native populations as liason and negotiator.  I'm technically enlisting as a reservist, but the likelihood of activation and/or deployment is high for that MOS.

Woo hoo progress!

Post by: Scotty on August 09, 2012, 07:53:34 am
Thanks! :D

I'm technically 'only' enlisting for a six year reserve term.  That said, however, it's entirely possible for me to spend a year and a half or two years active duty just through training, and then even more if I get deployed.  Ten weeks in basic, ten weeks in advanced, three weeks in jump school, and then anywhere from six to eight months at the defense language institute learning a language of (nominally) my choice.  An additional eight weeks at Ranger school is also not out of the question.  Active duty pay for the duration, and jump status pay bonus after jump school.

In short: Sweeeeeet.

At the moment, three sessions a week at the local YMCA under the watchful eyes of my recruiters.  I've still got five months before I ship out, though, and I intend to get in much better shape before that happens.

It's not slang for kissing in any part of the US I've ever been to, at least to my knowledge. I do think I recall seeing it used as slang for kissing in a book once, but that's about it.

I think it's one of those slang terms that's fallen out of usage.

When I woke up, I actually smacked myself in the mouth due to an overzealous need to make sure they were all still there.

It's a cruel irony that babies pick up every possible infectious disease known to mankind with the slightest provocation, but recover at an unparalleled rate, while their fathers get sick incredibly rarely but become absolutely useless for 5 days when they do get a cold.

Luke got a cold.  Luke was over it in two days.  Ryan got Luke's cold.  Ryan felt like death this weekend and has still not fully recovered after 5 days.  Ryan feels it is unfair that Luke has half* his immune system but is far more efficient at this virus-clearing business.  On the plus side, spent a lot of time in ME3 multiplayer because hands and eyes still worked, despite nose and throat's attempts at mutiny.

i also got a new stereo. this one looks to be newer than my old one. it seems to be made in the late 80s, rather than the mid 80s. yay!

Alcohol Y U NO HAVE EFFECT ANYMORE

I drink a shot of Bacardi 151 (for those who don't know, 75.5% alcohol) and nothing. Nothing! Come home and give a nice helping of rum and coke, and still... no buzz. It's just this subtle feeling, that's it
Have I drank so much over that week where my body simply doesn't care anymore? God damn

My philosophy is that if I can breathe fire with it, I don't drink it. 

Except for lulz.  I do it for them.

It doesn't burn as much as everyone seems to think 151 does (they said I'd make a face, I didn't make a face... in fact it wasn't close to face worthy) so perhaps I am uniquely qualified to breathe fire

‎'first of all i would like to say that this comment is in no way offensive to 9 news.

Im 19 years old and feel the need to express my opinions.
When seeing the ads on t.v about the news story coming up with refugees and illegal immigrants getting housed in australia with families etc, i don't need to see the story to know what its about. in fact i am ashamed to see australia for what it is today, WE as a country need to realise that before we put hard earned tax payers money into housing and looking after refugees and those less fortunate from other countries.. WE need to think about our OWN first. Take a trip down to melbourne or sydney or brisbane just to name a few, look at all the homeless on the streets, in freezing winters and rough conditions, why cant we house those people first? why cant we put them in a detention centre with tv's and a nice comfy bed, food and a nice warm shelter. WHY do we just look past this and leave them on the street and give people from other countries an opportunity and somewhere to stay before we do with our OWN? WE as a country need some form of real leadership, to take priority with our own born and bread before we as country will lose what we once called "home".

Please take the time to read this.
Thanks'

Well, you have to admit that there is a shred of logic to it. After all if you can't take care of your own citizens, how are you supposed to manage with those from another nation?

When I become overlord, these things won't be an issue. Everyone will work in the acid mines. There will be no exceptions.

I went for a menisectomy of my left knee two days ago. Ever since I felt something go wrong with my left knee 11 years ago, the meniscus in my left knee, which is essentially a cushion of tissue that is wedged between both leg joints, fragged itself, hindering the movement of my knee. What the operation two days ago did was to remove all these fragments in the knee. I'll be on crutches for about a fortnight. The poor quality of my Internet connection this past week more or less reflected my mood during the past two days.

I just woke up because I couldn't sleep any more at the moment, despite having only slept five hours last night. I believe I'll be dozing off here and there for the rest of the day.

That sounds like a sexual innuendo. Then again due to my close proximity to Dekker, I pretty much perceive everything in varying levels of innuendo possibility -so as to avoid Dekker induced humiliation. It works some of the time.

That sounds amazing. Do share the recipe (such as it is) if it turns out well. Actually I guess that wouldn't be very complicated....

it was actually pretty good. the recipe still needs some tweakage though. heres what i got so far:

half an onion, chopped
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sour creme
2 cups grated cheddar
1 pound bacon. cut strips in quarters fry and drain.
3 cups potatoes, pealed and sliced thin (about 4 medium sized russets, other kinds of taters will work so long as it comes out to about 3 cups)
1/4 cup chopped chives

k so get your taters peeled and sliced, your cheese grated, your bacon fried and drained, your onions and chives sliced and your oven preheated to 350.
once all that prep nonsense is out of the way take yer butter and throw it in a decent sized saucepan, melt and saute them onions till they start to caramelize.
then throw in your flour, salt, pepper into the pan stir and gradually add milk while stirring (keep the heat on). add sour cream and stir to an even consistency.
ramp up the heat to bring it to a boil. then simmer it for 2 minutes or until the sauce is thickened. regulate heat carefully to maintain boil and prevent bubble over. remove from heat and set aside.
get a baking pan (i used my pyrex meatloaf pan, the same one i etch circuit boards in, but an 8"x8" glass or metal pan should work).
put down a layer of potatoes, add a layer of sauce throw some cheese on top. throw down a second layer of potatoes, this time with bacon, cheese, chives and then another layer of sauce. with another potatoes/sauce/cheese layer on top. though you may have to tweak this arrangement based on pan dimensions.
bake for 70-80 minutes or until potatoes are done.
commence nomming.

I just had the overwhelming (and self destructive) urge to watch Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seishun, and just watched the first episode. I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that the chibified Rock Lee stripped down to a bikini or that Neji makes a cute (in the 'Daaaw' sense) schoolgirl. 0_0

its actually not all that rare to see a large bird sitting on a boat. here its usually a bald eagle rather than a seagull though. the boat looks to be a smallish skiff.

i dont trust the charts. for a couple of reasons (and not including the fact that i listen to really obscure ****). the first of which it tells me what kind of crap the record companies have convinced the majority of people to like. and the second, it tells me how many dumbasses fell for it. i also know that if all the songs sound exactly the same, were in for years of copycatting and that anything original will have a hard time floating close enough to the top so that people know it exists with all the **** in the way. its better to skim the surface and look whats hiding underneath. you might be surprised.

Had a nice evening with friends from the restaurant. Not to the same extent as last time, but one neighbor decided to be an absolute douche about the situation (furthermore, going on my property without my permission). When I tried to talk to him as an adult, he got all pissed off even though I didn't do a damned thing to him. His words?

"Shut the **** up"

Alright, if I ever see you again, I'll ask that you apologize and tell you that being an adult in these situations will get you a helluva lot farther than being a pissed off douche. Yes, it's 1:30am. We're talking outside. What of it?

I'm going to sit outside one night and just talk to myself. What are they going to do about it? I'm not having a party. Cop won't believe it's an issue, and I get to bug the **** out of him from my own backyard

Hell, even the cop didn't understand the neighbors position. You know he's overreacting when the cop he called doesn't give **** all about it. Afterall, it's just talking. Not some parade with trumpets and a ruckus. Just... ****ing... talking...

Ah well. Now I have a lot of beer, and no one to share it with
So I toast you HLP for being there for me to rant about idiot neighbors who can't act like adults when approached with the phrase "Sir, may I have a word to sort this out?". He took it as aggressive even though my voice couldn't of been more calm and composed. I was sober to boot

I mean, at least the fellow I talked to last week was an adult about it. He didn't trespass, and we talked it out as adults. This guy didn't even allow me get in a "Hey, what's the issue here?"

im wondering if i didnt **** up my liver with the other night's tequila binge. it could also be the onset of pneumonia from standing on the docks at 3 am screaming the gospel according to nuke at the sea lions in the cold. things about the glory of satan and the destruction of the earth in nuclear hellfire were surely mentioned. it may have also been bad bacon. either way i feel like crap. an uncharacteristic nausea and my pee is more yellow than usual dispie higher fluids intake and a tight feeling where i think my liver should be. it could also be renal failure. idk. i will not be seeking medical attention, seems at the moment death accomplishes many of my life goals (and hopefully i inspired some angry fishermen to take up my cause to burn the earth), namely revenge and a catalyst for the inevitable self destruction of my family. that would be awesome. besides i dont have health insurance. so yea if i disappear in the next week or so without saying ive gone hunting, just assume i died. feel free to blame obama, i dont think that pusseh would launch a nuke if he had to.

You mean the grading system? IDK, I've always lived with that kind of grading system. And that's all it is, a system of seemingly arbitrary set of numbers (or letters) to represent often quantifiable skills, most of which are absolutely useless in life TBH. That's not what's usually frustrating about tests for me. It's usually the way tests are presented or those over-complex and hard tests that are rage inducing.

That 76 is just making me feel that I either made an insanely stupid mistake, such as writing down answers in the wrong places, or my test was incorrectly graded. I'll definitely have to find out which it is.

I ship out for basic at Fort Benning, Georgia on January 15, but the actual BCT doesn't start until the 21st.  Nine weeks and four days later, I ship up to Fort Bragg, South Carolina for my advanced training, which lasts exactly 10 weeks.  After that, I'll be volunteering for jump school and air assault school (at the minimum) and a trip to the Defense Language Institute for six months to a year to learn a new language.

As for formality, discipline, etc., while I'm in training there is no distinction between Active Duty and Reserve components.  Everyone gets the same training.

So, I lurked on over to a more conservative-leaning forum (if hacking off one leg and falling to the right can be described as "leaning"), where in a thread about Mitt Romney's VP pick, one of the board members, completely out of the blue, gave his endorsement for......wait for it.....hereditary monarchy.  Oddly, nobody called him out for it, either.  The thread just had an awkward, two-day silence, before someone else came in and changed the topic.

For a one-line post, it did a pretty good job of putting me in a state of awe and wonder.  Is the forum so partisan that it will accept any political ideology, no matter how extreme, as long as it is right-of-center?  Did I miss the part where this poster is ignored by everyone as a total joke (which would be impressive, since not two posts prior, he was carrying on a conversation, showing a profound ignorance of race in politics)?  Was it actually some kind of attempt at satire, that just fell flat?  I get the feeling that this is something of a Glenn Beck situation, where this guy is either the only one in on the joke or the only one not in on the joke.

Ironic that you mention that.

Recently learned that a mountain (Twin Sisters) not very far from me is composed of Dunite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunite), a greenish rock made primarily of olivine crystals and is interesting/unusual in that it comes from deep in the Earth's mantle and is rather rare on the surface.  Apparently the whole friggin mountain is an obducted slice of this mantle rock; and is one of the largest such exposures in the world.  Gonna go adventuring around there and see if I can find a nice sample. :)

Was mowing my grandmother's back garden today, when I went over a fair sized rock that proceeded to bend one side of the blade so badly that it put a groove in the soil and caused the motor to cut out. I know for a fact that the garden in question has been stone free for over a decade. I also know that the young boy next door has made a habit of throwing things into the garden (rocks, tennis balls and footballs mainly, but I did find a kids pot of bubble solution and wand....as the lawnmower ate it). I am most pissed off.
That lawnmower is almost two decades old, had only a few issuse that were solved quickly and cheaply, and was my late grandfather's so I have a bit of a sentimal attatchment to it.
And to top it all off, I must have eaten a dragon at some point during the day, because all my farts smell like sulphur!

Well after it cut out, I tried it again and the motor is fine. It's just finding the blade. For some reason hardware stores that sell replacement parts are becoming rather uncommon in London. Besides, the price they will  most likely charge would be the same as getting a new mower.

There comes a time in every pokey-mons life where, (and i think we all appreciate that time in life) they encounter a rival too powerful before they're ready. 

Take this Level 76 Dekker for instance...

(http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/314043_10150941525517849_216793350_n.jpg)

YEah, he's an ugly git, but he sure does try. He's learnt metronome, tackle, and dig, and this one drunken night... even double team :nervous:


Anyhoo, while trawling through his own personal poke-a-dex (Facebook friends list) he recently realised he stoodf a good chance with a wild *Jo-Jo* that left his workplace in march. Now this attractive woman, one year his senior (31 if you will) to all casual observers, appears contrite and innocent, yet..CORRUPTABLE. All the things a wild Dekker looks for in a prospective co-egg-founder.

Unfortunately for the level 76 Dekker, Jo-Jo was level 99.....

I'm making a note here:  HUGE SUCCESS

Walking along a swift stream coming down from the mountain, found a large gravel/boulder field rich with fresh samples of Dunite.  The surfaces of the dunite rocks oxidize an orangish color which helps them stand out against the darker background rocks.

(http://i.imgur.com/B1Kzg.jpg)

Breaking them open reveals the green olivine crystals.  This is what most of the Earth's mantle looks like (minus unfathomable heat and pressure).  Fascinating. :)

Err... it actually makes things worse according to firestorm.

The first few serums where not properly controlled scientifically, and the good doctor was over-confident in his work and had inadvertently caused the events seen at the beginning of Firestorm. GDI scientists have since tracked down the cause of the... acceleration... of tiberium poisoning and altered the serum accordingly.

No no no, it's not JUST two liters of morphine in a comically oversized syringe, it's two liters of morphine in a comically oversized syringe administered by a scantily clad nurse that is well endowed.  :nod:

While waiting to punch clock out from work, a woman, sitting on a gurney, was getting wheeled past, with two cops following behind.  My mind is left begging for context, in particular, whether the police were the source of the black eye or the response to the source of the black eye.

In other news, after three-and-a-half weeks of my new commute, I've only burned a half tank (6.5 gallons) of petrol.  That means I can go out and do a lap of this (http://goo.gl/maps/yev2A) about once very four to six weeks, and still save on fuel from my old commute.  Now, my tire budget might have to increase, but we'll burn that bridge, when we cross it.

Nuke, your version of a lighter has been banned in several universes and realities. Heck, I bet the GTVA thought about using it to wipe out the Shivans before deciding not to, as it'd be inhumane.

Welp, since my computer is still giving me headaches in the wireless department, even with a brand-new connection, brand-new router, brand-new modem, and a roommate of mine having excellent signal reception not even ten feet away from me (but an equal distance away from the router), I have come to the conclusion that my computer's built-in wireless receiver is simply a piece of ****. Especially frustrating since this came as part of a high-end gaming rig I had custom-built, advertised as extremely speedy with wireless N capability (which it has never used and I can't figure out how to turn on... it's been stuck on G ever since I got it).

I'll go looking for a good wireless antenna, I guess. When I get a good one I'll remove the current one from the computer and smash it repeatedly with a sledgehammer. That may seem extreme but after literally years of randomly dropped signals, wildly fluctuating throughput, and general frustration, I think it's getting off easy.

Does it help any at all if you rotate your laptop 90 degrees (like face the monitor towards/away from the router antenna)? You could also perhaps try making the router antenna at a 45 degree to horizontal with the floor.

Tower, not laptop. My laptop's wireless antenna is fine, but that computer lacks the speed, disk space, and power to do much.

I think using a wireless repeater will help as a stop-gap measure. As long as it detects a strong signal it generally does okay, but it seems to have a hard time with that if a wall is anywhere between it and the access point (and there are three walls in the way... no, moving the router is not an option, unfortunately).

Ok... does your tower and router have an Ethernet jack? If so, you could just get a cable and plug em in.  :P (I don't think you need a crossover cable)

You might also want to double check your power supply, and make sure it's giving you enough juice for everything.

are you in a house or a dorm or something?  if the three walls in the way are all yours, my suggestion would be a long ethernet cord tacked along the baseboard.  or conduit it across the top of the wall if you're feeling like a more polished approach.

hey, maybe try one of those powerline network adapter things.  plug it into an outlet and it turns your power wiring into network cabling supposedly.  report back the results if you do, i'm curious how well they actually work.  i can just imagine the connection dropping every time you flip the lights or turn on the TV.  i would think the product wouldn't have survived if that was the case though.

I could do that, if I found an Ethernet long enough for it.

I've used powerline adapters before. They actually work really well, and most of the time electricity fluctuations don't impede them. The exception is if an extreme electricity guzzler of an appliance is turned on, but those are pretty rare.

The problem with them is that you can't use them in power strips unless you want their speed cut way down. Also they're slightly more expensive than wireless repeaters. Furthermore, only certain models allow a true network to be set up. Most of them only allow two powerline adapters: one to be plugged into the router and one to be plugged into the computer. There are a few models that allow one to broadcast to multiple powerline receivers, but you'd better make damn sure it says it does that on the box.

I used them for a few months and they worked great... until one day they inexplicably began to have difficulty connecting to each other. I still have no clue what happened there. I believe the wiring in my room might have been faulty, but I'm not sure.

In any case, getting a better wireless receiver is the least expensive solution by a fair bit and it would prevent this issue from coming up in the future. My roommate has a good one and he's getting signal just fine through three walls, so...

Well, so far the wireless repeater seems to be doing its job. With the signal bolstered even this crappy antenna isn't having problems. Still going to get a better network receiver though. Repeaters are kind of expensive.

I just got back from the clinic. The removal of the two stitches on my knee turned out to be a lot less painful than I thought it would be. I was expecting something as painful as having an IV stuck in your hand; it was actually less painful than an injection.

So I went onto the TVTropes Wiki IRC channel just now and (in my opinion) gave some really bad advice to somebody who asked for it:

Quote from: 27 August 2012, 1159hrs, #tropers
[11:59am] Nephilim: Hello! Androgeos. I seek your advice.
[12:00pm] Nephilim: Or the general advice of the chat.
[12:00pm] Androgeos: Well, you may have a better response if you just ask your question...
[12:01pm] Nephilim: I'm going to a new school, trying to make a relatively splashy entrance on my first day.
[12:01pm] Nephilim: Partially because I'm intrested in a girl who's way out of my league.
[12:02pm] BishounenNightBird: one thing about the 'out of my league' thing I've noticed:  My league is bigger than I typically judge.
[12:02pm] Nephilim: But you're a bishie.
[12:02pm] BishounenNightBird: only until you see my face
[12:03pm] Nephilim: No, I mean this girl is literally goregous.
[12:03pm] Androgeos: Oh, girls again. I'm one of the last people you'll want to talk to about relationships, so I'll keep quiet.
[12:03pm] Nephilim: Feedback isn't the sort've thing you should filter.
[12:03pm] Nephilim: Speak your mind, if I don't like it then **** me.
[12:05pm] Androgeos: One thing I've found after failing to even start a relationship three times: if you want to get close to a girl, make sure she feels comfortable around you.
[12:06pm] Nephilim: I'm about as charismatic and personable as larry king smothered in wasps.
[12:06pm] Androgeos: You don't need to look handsome to make somebody feel that you're a nice person to be around.
[12:07pm] Nephilim: So, I try to wear nice shoes, keep a stiff upper lip and be as laconic as possible.
[12:07pm] Androgeos: Being laconic is fine, if that's how you behave when there aren't any pretty girls around.

I was also thinking of upgrading to Lion, but I don't know if my early-2008 MacBook will run slower on it than it does now, running Snow Leopard.

Folks at work discussing the last time they had sex. Conversation went down similar to someone first mentioning the random note
"I haven't had sex for a week"
"Oh really? I haven't had sex in twelve hours"
"Been a few days here"

Then I butt in

"I beat all of you guys"
They turn their heads
"I've never had sex" *two thumbs up followed by me casually walking away*

I don't really see the fuss over being a virgin for a while myself.  If it's a matter of just relieving a simple urge, that's what your hand(s) and the Internet are for. :D

Not so much sex as it is having a companion
I'd honestly prefer that over just sex

DISCLAIMER
This is aimed at no-one in particular
There's no right or wrong time. When it happens it'll happen, there IS somebody for EVERYONE as far as first times are concerned. It's only an issue or something to worry about if YOU believe it is. I mean, there's no giant holo-sign following everyone who's never seen a panda in real life declaring the fact right, strangers won't sense the fact? 

So why would it matter to others if you've had the good sense to wait til it's the right time for you.

If you do feel the urge to splurge though, i suggest just increasing your social outgoings, even if it's just going to your local bar/taverna/pub/squash court/games worksop/library/animal resue/place of natural comfort/.

If you're a bookish sort, you won't find a female counterpart in the sort of places i find myself at 4am on a saturday morning, unless you don't want a bookish sort.

What i'm saying is, get out there, spruce yourself up, and as mentioned in one of these pre-merge WHIYLS, just practice smiling at strangers and interacting with women you don't know (not FULL ON) just a casual smile and a "good morning/morning/afternoon/after you/let me get that door for you/please no, you go first (while queueing for a bus or somesuch)etc"... A little acknowledgement works leaps and bounds i swear. :yes:


Failing that, if you want a quick ego-boost/fix do part-time late shift bar-work for a few months. You'll never get more female attention. :yes:

Made a prototype structure for saving the context of a thread in my RTOS... Haven't figured out if I should include the stack pointer in addition to the other registers, nor have I decided that the structure should be in a .asm file or stay in C.

Granted, if I put the structure in a .asm file, it would further expose the RTOS to assembler/compiler quirks. By keeping it in a C file, I won't have to deal with any additional XREF weirdness.  :sigh:

My car completely gave up the ghost today. Just refused to run. Stalled while driving, I luckily had enough momentum to pull into a side street. Didn't start again. It's still there, a friend came and picked me up and dropped me home. Gonna have to go back there and have a look at it tomorrow. I don't have enough money to buy another car. :(

What kind of car?  If it's a domestic (Dodge/Chrysler/GM/Chev/Ford), it's probably your fuel pump, especially if it stalled out and its an automatic.

On the other hand, if it was a really hot day you might just have gotten an airlock in the combustion chamber, in which case allowing it to sit and cool off will usually resolve the issue.  Mazda MPV minivans built in the early 90s were notorious for that.

Well it may not be as expensive or important as a car, but my PSP gave up the final ghost yesterday. After 8 months of it not working or even charging  followed by 3 of it working and only charging in USB mode when it felt like it, it isn't much of a surprise. Adding to the fact that it's a slim and lite that I've had for a number of years and has endured blows that would have crippled it's chunkier brother, I can't say that it hasn't held up well over time.

Now I just have to decide if it's even worth getting another one, as I barely even think about PSP anymore.

I also plan on taking it apart and seeing what makes it tick. Sure I won't have any ****ing idea what I'll be looking at, but I have little doubt that it won't be several levels of awesome!

Ran into a similar issue when I still had my 98 Neon. Except minus the stalling - it just decided to not start half way through the day. I basically came to the conclusion that it was (most likely) some water/condensation in the fuel line, as that would prevent the car from starting. Next day any water in the combustion chamber evaporated and it ran fine for the next 40,000 kilometers, at least until the oxygen sensor went.

Do you have some sort of diagnostic tool? Some of the older vehicles had a service terminal that just needed a jumper wire between the appropriate contacts, and I'd imaging the newer ones are more complicated.

Returned home for the weekend to visit my family, and am reminded why I don't come home more often:

My parents are in the room next-door to me and they snore. Loudly enough to be heard through the wall.

I seriously cannot stand snoring. At all. Ever. Drives me crazy and makes me unable to sleep. At least without ear plugs, but those block out all sound and render alarms useless.  :mad:

I can't stand snoring either, even though I snore myself. But I take the longest to get to sleep, so if someone else starts snoring... bleh.

Relevant: why do people exist who claim they can't sleep without the tv on? Why did your parents not murder you for watching tv past your bedtime?

those people are lying.  to themselves, if nothing else.  i can understand sometimes WANTING to go to sleep with TV in the background.  i use music myself somewhat often.  but i'd certainly never say i NEED it.  and i'd DEFINITELY never be a big enough douche to play it when others sleep in the same room as me, like certain of my former roommates.  who refused to use his ipod with headphones because it might fall out of the bed.  :mad:  not that it probably would have helped anyway.  one night he was playing a game at 4 in the morning (that i introduced him to, silly me).  it woke me up and kept me up, so i threw my headphones at him.  i thought at first he didn't take the hint, because there was no change in the volume, but i finally looked over and saw he did in fact have the headphones on, he just turned it up so loud it sounded the same as coming through the speakers.  which also meant he got a lot louder using teamspeak.   :banghead:

Bandai seems to be of the opinion that the American market is not worth it, and they're unwilling to spend any more money on us. They said they're still willing to license series to other producers, but  I rather doubt they'd hand their flagship mecha franchise to anyone else.

Their current plan seems to be to produce any and all further releases in Japan. They are now including English subtitles on most of their releases, and Japanese Blu-Rays are compatible with American players, so they figure that any interested Americans can import those Blu-Rays.

The issue there is Japan's insane prices for anime releases. The Japanese execs simply don't seem to get that Americans simply will not shell out $100 per Blu-Ray disc. But then, they also don't seem to care.

The US distributor Bandai Entertainment, which is a subsidiary of Bandai Visual Japan, has been hanging in there for several years, but they weren't exactly pulling in huge profits after the Western anime bubble burst.  By all accounts, their Japanese overlords decided that they weren't really worth keeping running anymore, and so we wound up with the current state of affairs.  The fact that Bandai would be ceasing DVD distribution was announced several months ago, but it was only this week that they gave a definitive end date.

No, the announcement last January was that they'd be ceasing distribution of new series. They said at the time they'd keep any series they'd already released in print until the licenses expired.

Now it seems they're reneging on that statement and closing up shop completely.

True, there wasn't anything said at the time about giving a set date for stopping all distribution, but I couldn't really imagine a scenario where they'd be keeping a few token series in print for any extended amount of time.

Timing eh. I think they're going to share eachother some WONDERFUL presents

Eh
Eh!


Also: One of the hostesses figure I should be radio, while another line cook thinks I should get a pipe and a robe to go with my scotch
I feel inclined to adhere to at least one of these statements.

Still don't know why everyone figures I should be in the radio business...

Or something


I was also called handsome by a guy, but not entirely sure if he's serious
And was suggested for a threesome...
...though the threesome part was because the guy was drunk
...Most likely

Which is essentially what happened at the club.

You people in England are lucky since you all live on a tiny island where nearly everyone lives in London or close to it.  If there was ever going to be a HLP USA we'd all have to fly someplace to meet, and plane tickets are expensive.

You are joking, right? If I were to go to HLP London I'd need to fly or get a train, although perversely the flights would be cheaper, but still not cheap.

Yeah, its pretty brutal.  With that out of the way, are there any other HLP-ers besides me who live in coastal or partially-inland Southern California?  I live in Orange County so if anyone is in or around Los Angeles, Corona, or maybe San Diego we could meet at a somewhat geographically central location (preferably close to me :P) for a couple drinks and some food.  I know this place just off the I-5 that serves great beer and pizza.

No, she thought it was ridiculous that we add a surcharge for having the pizzas delivered to her home as opposed to picked up in store. Because, you know, drivers work for free and fuel grows on trees.

you UK? most of the independent takaways (not just pizzas) around here that do deliveries will do so for free on drops within about 3-5 miles of the shop on orders over £8-15 (£15 tend to be the Chinese takeaways) so if your area is similar then you can understand the upset as you would expect a large chain to be able to take the hit as well.

Though tbh making the effort to complain is excessive as I presume the fact that you will be charged is in print on the takeaway menus and in the shop so they should have known.  and yes if we are thinking about phoning an order from somewhere new I usually look at the delivery print to see what the minimum order is for free delivery and say sod that if there is none.

Australia. I have not come across a pizza place that does free delivery ever, though to be fair I haven't been to that many. But yeah, every Domino's store around here has a delivery surcharge. Always. The store owner might waive it for really big orders, but that's very much the exception rather than the rule.

fair enough then, different country different culture and different economic balance.  Still taking the effort to complain to that extent especially if the situation is the norm is defiantly ott for the equivalent of a couple of quid (assuming from google conversion about 3 AUD)

So my youngest brother and several of his friends were apparently all doing the majority of their summer work on the final day of summer vacation, because really who wouldn't do that.  Anyway, one of his friends sent him a copy of one of the biology chapters they had to outline, in return for sending another chapter the other way.  He goes to copypasta the relevant material into his document...and Word up and crashes.  Like, I've seen Microsoft products do crazy things, but I didn't think I'd ever see Word choke to death on a ****ing copy and paste. Even stranger, he was able to copy each individual line; it was only selecting the whole outline that did it.  I pretty much threw up my hands at that one.

Apparently my collision detection algorithm doesn't quite work, so I'm rewriting it.

The general concept is the same as before: given two convex shapes, I try to select a direction (unit vector) which produces the minimum amount of "overlap", the farthest distance along that direction in one object minus the nearest distance along the other object in the same direction.

I thought the problem was that I was hitting a local minimum (a direction which was better than any of the directions immediately around it, but wasn't the best direction of all), but upon closer examination that's not it. There are no local minima, just narrow "valleys" which my algorithm doesn't know how to get out of.

Bleh :(

i am currently posting this from my raspberry pi. i didnt have a micro usb type b connector. but i figured out which pins on the gpio header were the 5v and ground lines. so it was only a matter of building a small lm7805 power supply. which is running off of a loithium battery. my screen is a 3.5 inch monitor with a composite input the case is built out of legos. i can barely read the screen so this will no doubt be loaded with typoes. i cant even see the squiggly underlines anyway.

I failed it yesterday too man. Wasn't insta-failed but failed 3 out of 5 sections by a point each (our test consists of 5 sections of which you need to pass 4). Biggest killer was my 'Vehicle Management', I was a bit of a derp hillstarting and had a habit of coasting. My instructor never picked up that I did it (and so neither did I), but my examiner certainly did. Oh well! Everyone passes it sometime!

I was at a "left turn yield on green" intersection, and I misjudged how fast the oncoming traffic was moving, and ended up stuck in front of the line. The light stayed green the whole time, but still a fail.

Also, I drove too far under the speed limit, apparently... examiner said I was going 15 in a 25 zone (but IIRC the only time the speed limit was 25 was when there was no traffic behind me!), and another I was going 25 in a 35 zone (I think that might have been when I turned onto a new road and didn't know what the speed limit was).

Edit: And cars should be abolished!

dilmah, your test sounds retardedly complex.  after my sister failed twice and talked it up like crazy, my test was actually quite easy.  i did it in a mostly backwoods area instead of in the city, so that helped.  just drove around the back roads for about 10 minutes, and did a 3-point turn on a road i could have u-turned on if i wanted to.  no freeways, no parking/other random crap, DEFINITELY no "vehicle management."  what the hell is that about?  and no real set scoring system as far as i could tell either.  the examiner just decides if you pass or not at the end.  i ALMOST failed right at the end though, when i did that thing when you're turning right where you pull up next to the guy going straight so you don't have to wait for the light.  EVERYONE does this, including the driver's ed instructors and my parents, so i had NO idea it was technically illegal.

What? You get docked points for yielding in the intersection while the light is green? If the left-hand side is choke full of cars, there's no reason why that should be prohibited. In fact, that's about the only way I've figured out how to aggress a left turn in high-traffic.

That's hardly anything I would complain about (going 10 mph under the speed limit in speeds less than 60, on non-congested roads)...

Oh, that's because it IS. 'Vehicle Management' seemed to me as just some retarded way of being able to mark how many times one stalled. I WISH my test was that easy. I had to do three three point turns, reverse park on a hill, hillstart a number of times (even when it wasn't necessary apparently and lost points for overuse of the handbrake...) and then change lanes to one in front of a ****ing Mack Truck. Which, to no-one but my examiner's surprised, resulted in the truck driver become pissed off and a 'disruption to traffic'.

Being a polite gentleman and letting someone in front of me I'm the queue to get served at a garage to buy Rizla and a two litre bottle of water...

i ****ed up linux on my pi trying to install bluetooth, so i restored the original image file. now i cant remember what i did to get my network to work. **** LINUX!!! im installing riscos as soon as the pi version comes out.

also keeping the raspberry pi powered is a chore by itself. i dont have a single adapter that can source the neccisary ampage. so running off batteries is what ive been doing. of course being makeshift battery packs i made from a dead laptop's battery, they dont have any safety circuitry. i have a shottkey diode protecting my polatity not that there arent 50 other ways the supply can short out and fail, being built on a breadboard and all. seems the maximum output you can get out of an lm7805 in a to-220 package is about an amp and a half. assuming you have a good heatsink. now the pi uses about 700ma. so long as you don try to stick a wifi dongle on it or a bluetooth dongle on it your fine. if you do, you need moar ampage.

i also found a big ass chipset heatsink from a mobo i threw away a long time ago, and i bolted it to my main regulator, so it can source the full 1500 ma. 700ma to the pi, 800ma to the usb hub and all its crap.  id prefer 2 amps, sending most of it to the usb hub and only source what is neccisary for the pi. i hear you can hook two 7805s to the same power supply, and connect their outputs together with a small resistance between it and the output rail. and this effectively gives you 3 amps with a large heatsink on each.

of course thats not really gonna work. running batteries most of it will get wasted as heat. as soon as the batteries drop below 7 volts (2 lithium, cells in series, balance charged), the regulated voltage starts to drop as well. their nominal voltage is 7.4 volts, and im charging them to slightly over 8 volts, which is probibly higher than you should go with a lithium battery. but it only seems to last a couple hours and then the pi starts acting all glitchey because it doesnt have enough power. i really need a switch mode regulator. i could just hook my helicopter battery too it and it will run all day.

im sure if i take a rock to one of my switch mode regulators i can pull out the ic that handles everything. and then it only takes about a page of math to set it up the way you want. and to wrap your own inductors becuse its that or a bunch of unlabeled salvaged inductors. you only need one though. its mostly capacitors, for filtering and storage. i could just buy a module, a ubec or one of the simpler more expensive single chip switching regulators. but i dont have the 4 bucks neccisary to buy one and dont really want to wait 3 more weeks till i get more money. maybe i could steal something.

Taiwan has the most lazy driving instruction practices. We basically drove on the same course as the test for one month. There are markers (removed during the test) to show where to stop and go, and the instructors tell you to memorize how many turns of the wheel and what to look at in your mirrors in each section... and still some people failed!

No wonder there are so many car accidents in Taiwan...  :nono:

It's even worse over here.  The biggest deal in most state tests is the dreaded parallel parking...a skill which I have yet to need to use since my license test some eight years ago.  The "road portion" for me consisted of going through the parking lot of the shopping center where the DMV office was, taking a right-hand turn out onto the main road, and then coming back into the parking lot.  It took all of ten minutes, if that.

I didn't have to parallel park, but I did have a portion of the test where you have to reverse parallel to the curb until the instructor tells you to stop.  In California hitting the curb at any point is an instant fail, so that's a harrowing part of the test.

Yes, but the penis is covered in that lovely material called skin that's supposed to not erupt in burning agony when hot sauce is applied to it, since we get hot sauce on our fingers all the time.  Your penis must be damn sensitive to react that way.  Put that organ to proper use then! ;7

Ouch, yeah, hot sauce there would be a total *****.  Theoretically though, with careful positioning of the hands it should be possible to avoid that area.

*snort* *snort*

It amazes me how the penis continues to be a problem for numerous men.

Thankfully, I have the sense to wash my hands before going to piss, especially after my hands have gotten chemicals/sauces/substances which may or may not burn my penis.

Pain is really not that bad for me, though. It's very annoying, however. My side has hurting for a while, and while it's gotten better, it means I have to be gentle when I'm sleeping on my right, otherwise it can flare up and make going to sleep harder. It's very frustrating at times, because I mostly sleep on my sides - laying down is fine and all, but it gets uncomfortable when I'm sleeping.

i had a 2x2" peice of uncut pcb lying on my desk upstairs earlyer when i was cleaning my room and all my junk boxes separating **** from good ****, and crap from junk. i kept all the junk and good ****, discarding the crap and ****. needless to say my room is theoretically cleaner now, though it doesnt seem to have changed much by its outward appearance.

anyway i decided that since i had this piece of pcb, which was trimmings from my last pcb project i decided id make me a nice little power supply for my pi. lacking the parts to do a switch mode supply, i opted for a most basic lm7805 circuit, big ass traces, and places for one regulator, four capacitors, one schottky diode (for reverse polarity protection), one led, one current limiting resistor for said led, a 3-pin input header (same pinout as my diy battery packs), a 2-pin output header, and a barrel jack for 12v input. the board is small enough to fit inside the lego case i made for my pi, so i dont have to have an externally mounted supply (except for the usb hub im using).

i designed it as a one sided board where the other side is essentially a heat sink for the regulator with big holes where the parts go so alignment wasnt critical. i actually have heatsing over about 40% of the other side where there is only a handful of traces. dispite the fact that the heat sink on the regulator is grounded internally i isolated the ground plane from the heat sink area which in hind sight was probibly a bad idea. i could have had much cleaner edcge traces by side stepping pads right into the ground plane and out of the way. i also scratched a cat head into the corner with an exacto knife, i now have a copper clad drawing of a kitty on my ground plane which is about a quarter inch whisker to whisker.

the iron on step was an epic fail. i tried it again (it always pays to print multiple copies of the same design on the sheet of transfer paper) and it was no better. so i gabe up and started filling in the holes with a sharpie. and fixing mistakes (and drawing a kitty) with an exacto knife. so it took 2 and a half batches of my etchat to cut this thing (my last board used 4). i had to make an extra half batch because the etchant stopped reacting when i was close to done. also i found that sharpie ink doesnt last long in the etchang, i had to re-touch up between some batches to prevent dissolving a couple traces. but the results werent half bad. i didnt spend as much time on the cleaning i suspect. also tape offset. seriously scotch tape is thick enough to prevent large swaths of circuit board from getting ironed. i think in the future i will only tape one edge, and leave some space between it and any traces. and then iron to the side of it so it doesnt keep the iron from applying pressure evenly to the whole board.

also it seemed my etchant put out a lot of fumes this time. idk what they were but it smelled like a swimming pool. but when faced with the choice between doing what i whant to do, and chemical poisioning, i will always choose the former. i may stop handling the stuff with my bare hands though. tomorrow i get to break in my new dremel drill press since i finally got the pcb bits i ordered for it. its 4am, and i dont want to piss of the neibors,theyve been *****y lately.

tldr: you suck and should be on fire for not reading my awesome wall of text post! :D

honestly, i don't remember.  i am exaggerating a bit.  yes, they actually WERE there, but they weren't super-important or prevalent or anything.  it was some step along the magic path to the solution (seriously, one of my professors wrote "magic" on the board as a step in a derivation), or it was part of a solution matrix but not the one that actually applied or something like that.  in any case, it's something the computer codes do that we learned just so we aren't putting faith in a black box program.

EEEN and signals analysis has one of those, for the Gaussian Bell curve integration I think. Probably not as complex as whatever you where dealing with though.

my trick has always been to date women with severe emotional problems. they are more likely to get cock addiction than your normal gals. of course you got to keep giving them cock, otherwise they will find other cocks. but i figure what dekker says here is mostly true. as much as women rant and rave about wanting men who are emotionally open and **** like that, what they really want is to be dominated. they are highly controlled by their emotions, and yours will only get in your way. also it helps if you own a van.

Laparoscopy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopy) is surgery performed using multiple small (0.5cm-1.5cm) incisions, at least one of which is occupied by a small camera, or a laparoscope.  Basically, they'll slice me open in three different places, stick a rod-shaped camera inside of me to find the exact location of the problem, and then perform the surgery in the exact location of the problem after it is determined.

I have an inguinal hernia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inguinal_hernia) (WARNING: PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC AND ALMOST CERTAINLY NSFW, but they're mostly medical diagrams and one or two pictures of a person who has the issue at advanced stages).

So yes, this isn't pleasant, but I've had it before on the other side of my body (the left side; this time, it's on the right side)--it's just that last time, a laparoscope wasn't used.

so i finally saw prometheus, and i was somewhat disapointed. id expect to see one of those 'wtf did i just watch' movies back in the 70s, but not in this day and age. il point out some obvious ****. some of the art design were leftovers from the dune '73 movie that was never made. for example the large engineer structure was originally intended to be the harkonnen stronghold. this is not totally bad as it is hr giger's work (pretty much the vision behind the alien), but you think they could have come up with something original. thats kind of a minor gripe, and if i wasnt a huge fan of dune id have never made the connection. a lot of stuff from dune '73 made its way into alien, as that was what netted hr giger the job. so very minor issue. its always interesting to how much stuff that gets rejected gets fed back into the machine to make more movies.

second thing that bugged me was the proto-alien at the end, which kinda pisses over the predator plot integration thats been going on since the avp games came out. this places fully developed xenomorphs in the present day (or prior to 1990 when predator 2 came out and showed us an alien skull). thats like saying, oh by the way, that predator stuff never happened. you cant drastically change the universe like that, and then go and change it back some years later. unless you want to do an engineers vs predator to boot. i did go and re-watch alien to take a look at the engineer vessel at the beginning, and i will say that ship and its pilot (obviously too large to be a predator) needed to be explained, but not so bad it justified a new movie. we could have had another alien sequal and if it spent 5 minutes explaining the boneship (as some of the games called it) it would have answered the question just as well as this movie.

other than that it was an ok movie. if you excuse the fact that it doesn't try to explain a damn thing it shows in the movie. i dont like it when the poke twice as many holes into something by trying to close up one or two. if anything it made me want to watch the alien trilogy (well at least alien and aliens, 3 was ok and 4 was ****. walmart buys out weyland yutani, wtf?). anyway aliens should be done right now. in other news i just made me a grilled cheese sandwich, which i ate while typing this. while i was making it the largest moth i had ever seen flew into the kitchen. i swatted at it with the hand that was not holding the spatula and slammed it into the ground, stunned. i then disposed of it by placing a cat in front of it. not the cute one that gets all the credit, the fat one that is always in my lap while im trying to code.

I got some complimentary texts this morning from both and tbh. It's intefering with work now  :lol:

I'm considering drinking three energy drinks to see if they have any effect. Seems to make most people at work rather bouncy, but caffeine hasn't really ever affected me much


For the love of god don't !!!  I tried it the day before i went to Reading festival and I was UP for about half an hour then i was LOOOOOOOOOOOW when i t wore off.....

are they aware of eachothers existance? possible 3some/castration? maybe you should look into it/run like hell.

as for energy drinks ive never got what the craze is about. just dump some cocaine into your dr pepper and call it a day.

alien was such a rapetastic movie. so was aliens which i just watched. alien is good at raep (seriously rape was the whole premise on the movie, dont believe me read the wikipedia article on it). i still dont get where that squid came from. seriously, a squid, is that the best they could come up with. that looks nothing like the alien or the snake thing from the caves. of course the xenomorph strain seems to evolve rather rapidly considering how it can produce vastly different species over the course of a single movie. just goes to show you that when on an alien world, with aliens around, especially aliens with mad genetic engineering 5ki11z, its generally a good idea to use protection. its 7:30 am and im going to bed.

So I kinda drank more than I would normally
Well, actually it's about the same amount but in less time
So as it seems, my mind is still as clear as it would be normally, and perhaps even more efficient

What I ended up learning from this, rather, still learning... is that the more I am intoxicated, the better my mind works



I'm remembering **** from ages ago, typing like a boss, and seem to be able to analyze things to a much more detailed sense...
Well, about myself anyhow


Basically, not so great day at work. The kitchen manager seems to think that not giving me an extra hand is a great idea
But hey, I'm as good as a bad dishwasher with a ****ton of help.

Which is to say, I can singlehandedly do what three people in dish (including the terrible dishwasher) can do. Kinda makes me feel great about my ability, but terrible at the same time
Since today, one of the fellows on line seems to attract people without any attempt, while I can't do a damned thing with women. I guess I'm nice, but without any qualities
Shame really. Ah well... it would appear I am just a nice guy but that's about it. Nothing good about me

For the last five hours, all I've been able to hear is the nonstop bass and jarring voice of some ****ing MC at some house party a couple of streets away.
FIVE ****ING HOURS.
I've had less than 10 minutes sleep, and that was broken by my Mum calling me up due to her not being sure if she was suffering a heart attack or heart burn. Seriously, her words were "*My Name*! Get up now! I've got a terrible pain in my chest!"
Now, my mum has a heart murmer and diabetes, so I was up in a flash and on the way to having a heart attack of my own. So when she tells me to get her a cup of milk as I was about to throw a pair of shorts on and call an ambulance, I was ready to throttle her, bring her back and throttle her again!

Now usually I wouldn't get this pissed, but add the fact that her yappy little chihuahua came into my room last night and started rooting around under my bed and whining nonstop from 23:30 to 6:00 and I finaly crashed around 8:00 before having to get up at 12:00 and cut the back garden, I have only had four and a half hours sleep in the last two days, no energy drinks to support me and have been using power tools and bladed instruments.


I'm so tired, I can't even go to sleep now. I've got a massive headache and my room seems to be pulsing in a way that is making me feel rather nauseous.

i have watched all the alien movies, now i have to watch all of the predator movies. ****ing crossovers.

needless to say prometheus throws a trek-like monkey wrench into the whole ****ing plot line. to tie off a couple small, hardly consequential, loose threads in the original movie, they slash huge gashes into the plot of every movie and especially the crossovers with predator. up till a couple days ago i had always assumed that the boneship pilot was in fact a predator. but having re-watched it and watching prometheus again and watching both avp movies as well, the proportions are way off. so yea, il buy into most of the prometheus plot. but that scene at the end bothers me. that is the wrong timeframe for a proto-alien. full breed aliens need to be present in the predator timeframe (present day, though in some of the games predators were around in the aliens era as well).

now they ****ing absolutely have to explain how predators relate to engineers, are they a side project or another race entirely. from what ive seen the predator appear to have superior technology to the engineers. predators seem to have the best energy weapons, and from what i can tell they dont rely on hypersleep like humans and engineers do indicating that their ships have superior propulsion. if engineers created predators no doubt they should have the superior tech, but i dont see any indication of that. it is a shame the only kind of fighting we saw from the engineers was hand to hand, id like to better gauge their tactical capabilities. aside from germ warfare.

if you eliminate predator canon and avp crossovers then everything makes sense. but those are pretty good and give clues to the origin of a lot of the stuff in alien canon. so im going to have to re-watch all 3 predator movies to get a better indication about how they all fit in. now they have to make an aliens vs engineers vs predators vs humans vs whatever other bull**** they manage to throw in along the way. i wouldnt say that prometheus was as bad of an abomination than alien resurrection, but its pretty damn close.

So I'm not entirely sure, but I think the bank rep I was talking to to transfer some funds from one account to the other was hitting on me

What did he say?

"I just need to say this, but you have a really nice voice"

My outward reaction was that of a thank you, while internally it was "WHAT THE **** WHERE DID THAT COME FROM"

yea, expecting women to come after you just wont work. ive had some luck in that regard, but hardly enough to rely upon for bastard-spawning. and generally the ones that come after you are either insane or desperate or both, and that does not make for a good long term relationship though will certainly get you laid (getting rid of them might be an issue). your typical 'normal' woman has a tendency to submissiveness (even your slightly more aggressive/*****y feminist types), and so you got to be an alpha wolf or at least fake it.

Jury duty today. Finally, after four times, got called up to be part of the pool for a possible trial.

"Do you have any reason to dislike or distrust law enforcement?"

"My brother was charged with a felony and pled to a misdemeanor as the result of what I believe was an illegal search of his vehicle."

Absolutely truthful. Also pretty certain I was not going to be in the jury pool long after saying that. I was correct.

I believe that is it. He said he had reason not to trust the system of law he was being asked to uphold. Of course they're going to drop him from it.

Whether his reasons are justified or not, that is not the place to raise a complaint about past police actions.

I'm pretty sure the Sear's Tower looking thing (the one with the guys talking about records on top) is the tallest thing (that connects with the ground).

That said, I have no clue if there's some random "roof" stuff.  I didn't bother going to check.

Man, now I just want someone to take the whole thing, and blow it up to one file so I can zoom out and see just how ****ing huge it is.

the file names are a things like n4e7 or s3w4. im not quite sure how many there are, it would be a major pita to download all the images and composite them into a single image.

I can only walk, not run, jump or stomp, and I need to concentrate just to put an even load on both legs. If I don't, I will automatically start leaning on my right leg. I can't walk very far either. Half an hour is the absolute longest I can go putting equal weight on both feet before I tire out.

This knee is recovering with each passing day, but it's a long and incredibly slow process.

However, it is apparently now a thing to have the Function keys reversed: so now, instead of holding down "Fn" to access stuff like brightness or other things, now it does that by default and you have to press "Fn" to use the F-keys.

I don't know what complete retard of an executive thought this was a good idea. Luckily, found a way to deactivate that nonsense, and now it's mostly working well. Just need to get Virtual Box to access the USB ports and everything will be shiny.

Oh welcome to my world you poor basterd, I had a dream like that once in a while, and it was incredibly realistic... a few months later I had a deja vu and lo and behold, I actually had a virus, the bastard killed all my Firewalls and Anti-*Malware here*, tried getting things like malwarebytes and others but they were all disabled within seconds, luckily Zone Alarm's Firewall still worked, it gave me time to install Avast and attack the ****er before windows started, VICTORY! (That took hours though)

And that kids, is why you should have Avast on your PC even if you don't actively use it.

Dredd is a really ****ing good movie, and you should go see it.

For those of you about to burst out with an "I AM THE LEUUUUWW": Everything the Stallone movie ****ed up was gotten perfect here.

But what really gets me, and this is kind of surprising to be saying about this class of movie, is that it's actually very tightly plotted. Details are not done for cool or throwaway. They matter. Anderson is a psychic: not only is this used frequently, it's actually important to the plot. The multiple fire modes of the Lawbringer pistol are shown off, but each in an appropriate situation, each done well, and it feels natural that they'd be used where they are. The fact that the pistols are encoded to DNA is set up early, but it also pays off by saving Anderson's life. The slo-mo shots are not only given a story reason to exist (how many ****ing times can you say that?), the movie is very careful to use them only when that reason is in effect.

This is easily the best action movie I've seen this year. (EDIT FROM THE FUTURE: Looking back, it's probably the best one I've seen in the last five years.) Go see it.

Cleaning out my closet, I've found so many awesome things.

First on the list was a 1989 wall-sized world map.  That was cool.

Slightly less impressive, a 1:10 scale Harley Davidson Softtail die-cast model in a glass case.  Still cool though.

But most impressive was on the bookcase in there.  A complete set of Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation (1980).  All five volumes of it.  Now I know why I was such an aircraft nut when I was a kid.

Recently created an account on LinkedIn. Found someone who I went to high school with. Hadn't heard from her in 5 years.

Evidently, she hit the "I don't know this person" button, and as a result I was henceforth unable to send invites to ANYONE without knowing their email. And without a pro account, you can't message people who aren't in your network.

And of course (although she probably doesn't care, and at this point I don't much care) she probably has no idea that her doing that had any consequences. I wonder, did she really not recognize my name? Or did she recognize my name but think "I don't know him [anymore]"? Or did she recognize my name and think "Where is the block button? Ah, close enough" ?

But whatever. It's over.

In conclusion: I ****ing hate LinkedIn.

That's why.

unfortunately, that kind of harshness is necessary if LinkedIn has ANY hope of avoiding turning into a social network fad and remaining useful.  what they could use though, as made apparent by your situation, is some sort of appeal.  have you tried getting that restriction lifted by contacting them?

it's not supposed to be a social site, it's supposed to be a business site.  you're better off not adding people, even if you know them, unless they are relevant to your professional field.  i've turned down MANY "friends" and family members on there, as well as all of the randoms who are clearly just trying to make their list big (or want me to buy from their 'clothing company'  :rolleyes:).  i have very few contacts, nearly all from my university.  the ONE i don't know personally is the manager from a company i was looking at that does their hiring from there, and is the one who requested i make an account.

Pretty sure it was Microsol, and the game is Tyrian.  Man, I had so much fun finding all the easter eggs in that game.  Still not sure I found them all.  I occasionally still play it on a DOS emulator.

In other news, baby boy started throwing up this morning.  That was a great way to start the day.  Currently at work and waiting for the coffee to cool down enough to begin ingesting.  Seriously need to get to work on that caffeine IV drip I was designing.

Switched out the Blu-Ray player software on my computer. BD drive came with some program called Cyberlink PowerDVD which, after it randomly decided that my Blu-Rays are "not a supported format" when two weeks ago it worked fine, I have concluded is a POS and deleted. This is not the first time it's had issues with my blu-rays and I am simply DONE playing games with it.

What is it with the standard-issue software always having the suckiest quality? It's like the ideas of quality control and reliability testing are utterly alien to their programmers.

Switched to their competitor, Arc Soft, which has much more favorable reviews from what I've seen. Hell, all of PowerDVD's positive reviews look like they're coming from plants. And it's their competitor so it's an extra kick in the nuts to Cyberlink.

Yes, I am petty. Sometimes. :drevil:

In what way do you want to get her? If you're in <3 with her... Focus on becoming agood friend first and try to ingratiate yourself into her inner circle. ( A long process, but fulfilling as often you'll find that you either get on really really well, or you find something out which puts you off her and you save yourself heartache)


If you want to get physical more than anything else, forget winnin'g the purely personality war and appeal to her primal sense. I dont mean hit the gym eight hours adday or anything extreme. Just without being to condescending, make her feel like a lady while highlighting your more masculine facets. Flirting should stay just on the safe side of lewd.  ohhhh I wish I had the patience to write a flowchart sometimes.....

It's the former and I'm just doing my usual **** but I dunno...it's different because she's legitimately out of my league. I've only ever gone for girls that my radar reads as firmly IN my league and that gives me a bit of a starting point for confidence, but here the girl's actually super cute and smart and holds similar political opinions. I'll see if I can be mates with her and where that'll go.

As far as the physical thing goes, I'm kind of bored of it TBH. But that's because I have a few girls that I can get physical with and because they're just *there*, it takes the fun out of it. Plus, I'd actually really like a proper 'girlyfrand'.

Funny you say that, I was having a think tonight at how many chicks flirted with me during junior high that I just never picked up on at the time. Some of whom I still find pretty cute. ;)

But on the note of the friendzone, does anyone else have a particular dislike for the term as it's commonly used? I always read it as having some implication that the girl was doing you some kind of malicious disservice by only wanting to be friends, but really, if she doesn't like you, she doesn't like you, and she's definitely allowed to do that.

Indeed, you don't launch from 'hey' to 'girlfrand' in 2.5 seconds. But a bit of flirting doesn't go astray, otherwise you may not register on her radar as someone with potential for her. Admittedly, if you like her, and she likes you, in my experience things will usually somehow end up at a relationship from there.

unless you're <---- this guy. 

you can not assign it the term if you want, but the "friend zone," being the condition where one or both parties shy away from a relationship for fear of maybe damaging a long-standing friendship, DOES exist.  and ironically enough (in my sample size of one), this is more damaging than a failed relationship would be.  unless it REALLY crashed and burned somehow. 

what i'm saying is, in hindsight, the best plan IMO is to sack up and tell her soon-ish after becoming friends.  don't have to act on it right away, but it needs to be clear you're interested.  if you think it's unpleasant now, you DON'T want to be me in 5 years. 

goddamnit now i'm in for a depressing night of dwelling on mistakes and wishful thinking.

That's what I'm doing at the moment, but I'm being forced to walk the fine line between flirting and leading the second girl on. We get along great, but I just don't feel that I'm sexually attracted to her.

ive finally started to make headway in my attempt to design my own programmable radio control receiver. its really a rehash of various semi-successful projects ive done before. part of it is my ps2 gamepad hacked to be wireless, now using a new communications library which is much more reliable. and my old r/c board which has new firmware and is much more customizable. most of this project has been software, but ive had to do a few hardware hacks here and there. the new library required me to remove some components from the board, namely an opamp and setting resistors, i had to add some extra programming pins as well. i also didnt think ahead and put a programming header on the r/c board, so i have a hackish mash of wires which i have to connect one wire at a time to update the firmware.

but the new firmware is much more versatile. i have 6 servo channels, 2 motor driver channels, with separate break channels. i also want to add some digital outputs (for things like lights) as well as telemetry outputs (such as speed indication) to be radioed back to a character display. outputs are all broght under a unifying class that standardizes the interface to inputs. its job is to make appropriate calls to the required libraries to make things happen also to provide bindings to the much more complex input class.

the input class gives you a bunch of little input blocks, like the output class it provides a unified interface with all input from the controller over the radio link. providing basic inputs like axes and buttons, advanced constructs like button axes, simple constants, and a mixer which can combine other inputs. i also want to give it some analog/digital input pins for feedback so i can do pid control, also local sensors can provide input for telemetry. the mixer is pretty badass, as it not only mixes the outputs but can also perform math and logic operations with the data. every input has an offset, a fixed point scaler, and min/max constraints. i believe the system is turing complete, though i only have the firmware configured to give me 16 of the objects. i figure i can get about 20 with the current code, though i want to save some space for more features.

this is probibly the biggest program i ever uploaded to a microcontroller, its almost 25k. though most of that is strings for the configuration terminal. im using the eeprom for storing configuration data. im using all 3 timers, and i think my ram usage is raher high, but im not sure how much. i know the stuff im using is taking up nearly 1k of sram, and libraries likely use the other half. the serial library whores up ram for its buffers, but it gets closed down before anything fun happens. after a reset you have about 2 seconds to send the string 'config' after which you enter terminal mode, and stay in terminal mode until you either give the exit command or reset. there are about a dozen commands. about 5 general purpose commands, like save, load, etc, 6 commands for input configuration, about 3 for output configuration and a couple for the motor drivers.

current issues are the power supply is not up to par. its not really as good as the board i did to power my raspberry pi. it doesnt have as big a capacitor, and no heat sink at all. not even reverse polarity protection. the motor driver can only do 1 amp per channel. and the cheap radio modules im using kinda suck as far as range and throughput go. so i will definately make a new one based around the same firmware. i will likely swap out the ask radios with a nordic transceiver i got stashed in parts box, they have similar range and better throughput, and use a better modulation scheme (fsk i think). and i will put a beefier motor driver in the thing. probibly do a switch mode power supply (im just gonna cheat and get some ubecs, they are dirt cheap on ebay and can push 4 amps). may also toss in an io expander of sorts, though i could just use a bigger chip in a smaller tqfp package (though im not sure if my solder-fu is strong enough, not to mention my pcb fabrication process still sucks).

"144? what about all the other random ships you randomly parked all over the universe?" "awww man that's at least another 150-or-so ships i have to outfit from zilch i just wanna fly around and explore"

And then a K jumps in-sector with two frigates, one missile frigate and several corvettes blowing up stations... no way are we gonna fight that, dash for the gate... **** an enemy J just jumped in IN FRONT OF ME and now we will have to dodge 20 bombers launching 100's of missiles while flying a silly little interceptor with only 3x 5MJ shields, and deal with 1fps framerate.

Now how do I dodge instant-hit auto-aiming laser beams again?

Made lentil minestrone from scratch, following a recipe from this fine book (http://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Cooking-Everyone-Deborah-Madison/dp/0767927478/). Even if I added maybe a bit too much pasta such that the soup is a bit less soup-like, it's still damn good. :cool:

Question which might seem dumb/ridiculous, but I'm really looking for a legit response... how safe is it to open the canopy of a VTOL jet while it's hovering xx to xxx (or even infrequent xxxx) metres in the air? When wearing a typical flight suit, and when in plain clothes? If it's safe, okay what are the risks, if it's not, then what are the harmful/lethal elements threatening the pilot? Cold air temperature? Strong winds? etc... ???

i remember back when i started using mp3s. this was a couple years before the first portable mp3 players hit the market. it would take up to 30 minutes to rip a cd. even then it was iffy, you were often better off riping it analog through the internal analog connections that were common in those days. but i managed to figure out how to do 2x digital rips. ah those were the days, i got so good at encoding i would squeeze single tracks onto floppy disks and play em on the computers at school, they really hated me from that. i set up raining blood (recorded at a horrifically low bitrate so as to fit on a 1.44mb floppy) to play as an error message on a much hated teachers computer. every time he ****ed up that errror message sound would play and the whole class would start headbanging, got 3 weeks of detention for that.

Yeah, especially when author mode doesn't roll my way very often, like, on the order of a year or two. So I have to take full use of the opportunity even when I'm tired as a Mt. Everest climber. (well maybe not THAT tired, but yeah...)

Realizing how rusty my coding skills are at the moment. Relatively simple assignment that I've just more or less finished, but god is it ever a kludgtastic mess with almost no error handling. I would do a major refactor and clean-up of the code, switch to a more modular style..... but it's due in 3 hours and I really don't feel like spending all of those hours trying to refactor working code for an extra percent or two. Documentation writing and submission time it is, then.

Personally I don't mind, and I don't think any other CS student would. Almost comical, actually. 2nd level programming, at UM at least, is just a class designed to weed out students that CS is a bad fit for anyway.

i thought i was gonna be a programmer up until 10th grade when i discovered physics and engineering.  then i thought i'd get a CSC minor for giggles since programming logic is piss easy for me, and it's just a matter of learning the language.  until my 2nd level class, when i learned i was expected to run test cases, error handling, and comment ****ing everything, and i pulled the eject handle.  didn't help that the professor, who was supposed to be a well-respected, intelligent guy, was a complete ****ing moron.  i don't want to be anywhere near an industry that can think highly of a guy like that.

Damn dude, way to put down everybody in CS.

Personally I don't mind, and I don't think any other CS student would. Almost comical, actually. 2nd level programming, at UM at least, is just a class designed to weed out students that CS is a bad fit for anyway. If you think testing, error handling, and documentation are beneath you I'll just say good riddance. :p It sounds like Klaus would have be better off with a minor in computational mathematics. (inb4computersciencevscomputationalmathematics  :nervous:)

i kinda think the whole cs crowd is kinda spoiled. multi-gigahertz, multi-core processors awesome floating point units and large amounts of ram, and libraries that handle pretty much everything for you. its a hell of a lot more fun writing code on something that has nothing. no fpu no multi core, no gigahertz, and where including a library will waste all your resources. so ive had a hell of a lot of fun with embedded systems, microcontrollers and the like. it also meshes well with my electronics wizzardry.

you really do more computer sciencey things when your focus is not set on application development. such a programmer need not worry about their math library being sub-optimal in a certain situation and there is no concern about use of basic math operations. you just use what you need when you need it. like how does one do scaler operations without an fpu or even a hardware multiply instruction.  you really start appreciating things like shift instructions, which come in handy for a lot of fixed point maths. and when you have to make your own trig functions when your math is all binary fixed point. for example when dealing very low level code like that it helps to completely abandon concepts like degrees or even radians, and start dividing into 2^8 or 2^16 ticks per rotation (the latter usually being in an 8.8 fixed point format). application programmers dont think about this stuff till they run into a problem. and even thin just work around in instead of replacing their libraries with custom code.

Oh hell yes. The last thing the programming industry needs is more people who don't comment their code.

i think i comment my code more out of necessity than for readability. i lack the photographic memory neccisary to be a good coder. i can write code and design even a complex system. but if i go do something else (which i do a lot), i will have an insanely hard time getting back into it. so i might have a comment every third line so i can follow the code. like im very bad at naming variables, so 9 times our of 10 there will be a comment next to it explaining what they are for. i know ive had some programmers call my code overcommented, but its better than no comments at all. i look at their code and your luckey if you get a comment every other function. like they expect everyone that reads their code to be as good or better than they are. assuming that every other coder speaks c++ fluently is a bad assumption. rest assured that any programmer will be able to parse the comments at a faster rate than the code. and they certainly make navigating a code base much easier. having one comment that says what the next 10 lines of code do is a real time saver for me. i dont get why so many coders dont like commenting their code.

believe me, i get it, and i don't think it's beneath me.  i just despise doing it.  that's why i left.  for the kind of programming i do now, small programs for personal use to automate tedious computations, it's not necessary.

as for the professor, this guy was invited to speak at symposiums and crap.  he asked my group to use one of our 'projects' (which was just a stack of flashcards) to present.  i don't recall him ever writing a single line of good code.  his TA fixed everything he gave us.  and he gave us a physically impossible assignment.  we could either meet all the assignment's criteria of what classes to use and how to use inheritance and whatnot, or we could write code that worked.  not both.

I don't suppose it's possible to mistake a caffeine high for being drunk, is it?

I opened a bottle of chocolate syrup recently that had a foul after-taste... idk wtf was wrong with it. I've gotten similar from Giant brand chocolate syrup, but never from Safeway brand. So I guess it's not the recipe per se, it's the quality control...

Yeah I had the same kind of prof for my freshman design class. He spent half his time talking about his family, I'm pretty sure he was sexist, and he forced us to write our project in 'phrogram', which if you google it you can probably tell how frustrating it was for someone that had already been programming for a few years. What it boils down to is that they just don't care, so I could hardly condemn the entire field. Plus I had already declared my major and I was too lazy to switch to aerospace.

I found TRUTH at the bottom of Higgin's Inkwell.

Then I created heavens upon thick backbones of black ink that tore into the whitespace of American Masters heavy print paper, spawning angels of light and darkness, then fleshed with subdued watery fires of cadmium reds and quinacridone red in a play of Heaven versus Hell, then I chucked it into a sink.

Then rinse and repeat that process TEN times over.

Thing is, I didn't even start it. One guy said "There is no God, period". Or something. I was amused, so I replied, "Gimme proof".

And then they all assumed I was a believer. Some went away, bemoaning. Very funny. Then Beli pressed for a proof he does.

I went along with it. Started to give hints to the farce. Kept telling them that if God does not exist, so does not Free Will, therefore we are all Zombies. I pressed on the word zombies. My nick was megaspacezombie. Didn't connect.

Then labtutta showed up. Conversation went kinda weird places to time's arrow and stuff. Very funny, people all angry at me for having a theological opinion. Then The_E banned me. Probably was on to me.

Ah, no. They got themselves to the god of the gaps and stuff, but we didn't reach that kind of metaphysical discussion.

I must warn you though that there's nothing "inconsistent" in their theologies like that. I've had several discussions where I did learn this. It's very simple. They state "there's no inconsistency because the terms do not contradict each other like you think they do" and bam, it turns into consistency. And then they'll call you ignorant for dismissing metaphysics. And, of course, I smile.

Seriously though, they have thought through all these impossibilities.

Well if they're expecting a valid, consistent, sound argument they'll never really know much of anything. Above argument is as sound as our current understanding of logic, reason, and the physical universe. By all means not irrefutable in all conceivable circumstances but atm someone's not allowed to reject it if they're the one asking for a proof. And imho anyone doing that is missing the point of religion.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Post by: Luis Dias on October 02, 2012, 04:38:37 pm
Perhaps they are. However, such people do exist and they are no fools. Of course every "proof" of God presumes the (absolute) truth of its own premises and terms, and so it only convinces those who already accept the validity of those in the first place. Of course, those are believed by faith. And then there's this whole discussion if it's even possible to be skeptical of those.

For instance, if it is even possible to be skeptical of absolute truth, of the law of non-contradiction, and so on. But the terms used are about potentials and actuals in Aristotelian terminologies... which always seemed too alien to me and never convinced me that they represented a True state of affairs... and so on.

Agreed.

Belief is incurable, in order to eliminate any belief one must destroy man and any form of meaning to achieve it.

Discussion of religion is better suited to historical and philosophical debates between ancient Oxfordian scholars covered in dust, perhaps with a few anthropologists shoved in the cupboard.  The problem I constantly encounter is that one side claims their method of deriving belief is superior, damn the study of the process as they're more interested in finding a solution that fits neatly within their horde of internet supporters.

Any belief takes a form of confidence, without it, there would be nothing. On the other hand trying to get physical materialists to acknowledge this hang up, and the mechanism that operates this confidence, is problematic and something that I stopped trying to explain to them a long time ago.

It involved the world going to war with hell, wiping the floor with it (and only losing a city or two to demonic WMDs that consist of opening portals inside of volcanos which open out a couple of miles above the target), hitting Satan with a cruise missile and then prepping for war against heaven for closing the gates and damning even the pure.



Also Jesus and Gabriel (I think) are stoners.
I think I read about something like that on TVTropes.  God is pissed because we're all :science: and don't need him anymore so he decides to bring on Armageddon and Heaven and Hell fight it out on Earth with no concern for human casualties.  Of course, we have !!SCIENCE!! and Heaven and Hell don't so the angels and demons are running around with medieval weapons at best while we've got tanks and cruise missiles.  It doesn't end well for either of the big guys. :lol:

Difficult but still doable, doubt their links still work... Armageddon and Pantheocide can be found here, broken up into small chapter groups. (http://www.tboverse.us/HPCAFORUM/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=29)

The series was never concluded due to the fact it was to be actually novelized and sold, but somebody distributed a torrent and the author concluded it wasn't saleable after that, so Lords of War was never written.

It seriously seems like they're not actually at the telephone when they make the call... like they have some sorta auto-dialer which goes

     Hey, it stopped playing the ring tone! Let me connect to someone at the call center!

...Meanwhile I've already said "Hello who's calling?", waited a second and a half for a reply, heard the background noise change over to what sounds like a call-center, and hung up on the dumbasses.  :mad:

the computer makes the calls. it often makes more calls than the call center can actually handle. probibly even using some kind of pid algorithm to make the optimum number of calls based on current hangup rate, the number of staff on hand at the moment, percentage of that staff that is idle and other factors. of course sometimes the implementation sucks, especially when the management want to make more calls, faster calls, better calls, and tweak the parameters without actually understanding how the algorithm works. the result is you get called by noone. i would hate to work in one of those call centers. seems like it would be draconian and evil.

seems that the pfds i get for living in alaska (i call it the this state sucks anti-tax) arent high enough this year to get me that 3d printer / laser cutter i wanted to get (open anwr for drilling now!). and mom is *****ing that her computer sucks, and i have nothing to spend my money on. so i think im gonna do a core components upgrade on my computer, and pass mom my old mobo/cpu/ram. not really worthy of a building a new computer thread so im putting it here.

so far im going with an intel i73770k (im running an i5 2500 right now). mobo looks to be an msi b75ma-e33, a modest microatx which should fit nicely into my mini tower. ram doesnt seem to have advanced much since last year, so im essentially getting the same 8gb kit as last year, though im tempted to save some cash and keep my existing ram, and get mom a 4gb kit. i could also save 30 bucks dropping my cpu down a notch. im throwing in a new pci express wireless networking card as well so i can use the pci slot for my old sound card (all my wifi nics are pci). so i just spent $450 bucks (or i will when my div gets here).

may think about getting a better cpu cooler though. intel stock coolers suck as of late.

But drawing the lighting effects accentuate the normal lighting!

yes but i kinda been substituting shadows and highlights for a uniform color (usually darker, though sometimes il use noise or changes in hue or saturation instead), and then bake the height information into the normal map so as to get it to look about the same as if the lighting had been applied in 2d, but it responds to the location of the actual lighting. and frankly ive been putting off those engine textures for awhile. but today i got the fixed engine and the mpd thruster. just got the gimballed engine and from the look of the uv map its gonna suck. lots of little isolated areas that i have no idea how fit together. i textured it as if i was gonna bake the normal map from a hi-poly mesh, but i dont think i have the patience for that.

i also need to make normal and emission maps for the mpd thruster tomorrow, but those are easy with the way i do textures in layers. just copy the layer group, and tweak layer systematically. its really not hard to generate height data from a bunch of existing layers and generate normal maps from that. i just kill all the styles till i got a flat shade, add a little noise or texture additively (if patterns can double as height maps i use those), then i can use the inner glow effect with 2d contour curves to sculpt height data into the surfaces. its super effective. emission is even easier as you can just use a gradient multiplied by the layer. fun part with those is you have to keyframe edit the heatup animation, where the keyframes represent the rgb values. you can do cool stuff like make the engine slowly change to a dim red at the overheat threashold, and then pass through yellow to white hot as you aproach the boom point.

ksp is fun to mod. you dont have as many map channels to deal with, you are making parts as opposed to entire ships, so it easy to make 3 or 4 parts a day with textures.

I am really hating my oils with a passion. Liquin still gives me the jitters about using it, plus side is it dries much much faster than linseed oil.

Well, I just keep my normal ranting of oil based hate to minimum, but color tables and color mixing is a *****, as building color progressions from light to dark with pigments is an exercise in patience and palette knife-fu.

On more entertaining news, I got myself a light-weight bamboo tablet in place of my behemoth called a Cintiq. Digital painting now sucks, much, much less. And even has ONE, not six, chords. So it means I can finally complete some sorely need Wings of Dawn fanart that I've started, but never brought to finish due to technical problems.

Wow what a terrible sentence I wrote while inebriated, the region actually is geared more towards families. It's the night life in the singles scene that is god awful and only getting progressively worse. There is the occasional stabbing but only rarely does some one got shot. I think the region only averages one murder a month with most violent crimes being assaults. Like most cities the bulk of crimes are concentrated in a handful of areas best avoided by most people.

I know the feeling brother. I was lonely as **** in my first semester of uni. Are you living on campus? Would highly recommend you do if you don't. But it gets better, and if you get a job then you'll get work mates and whatnot to socialize with.

No, I don't live in campus. I could, but seriously, just looking around I can tell from the people I'm meeting that I'm just not comfortable with the kids in this university thing so far. Everyone is too...occupied. They just don't have my lifestyle.

Universities are big places, man. You'll find someone around who's a bit like you on your travels around campus. But fair enough, whatever floats your boat.

My current dilemma at the moment is that I'm feeling a bit like I'm getting stuck playing video games with my non-18 year old friend and whoever we can muster instead of going out and clubbing and other **** that people 18> do in Aus. And as a result, I'm not meeting that many new people, in particular, wimminz! :(

Go clubbing dude, it owns. I was such a shut-in in college (mostly because a lot of undergrad frat parties are really dreadful), but if you've got some friends to stick with it is a great time. The NYC party scene is everything you'd imagine, including the slightly terrifying bits.

Clubbing is definitely great! I went during my initial 'ahmagawd guiz im ayteen' period, but when my particular mate told me he'd been feeling a bit dejected that all of us 18 year olds were out doing 18 year old stuff all the time I felt a bit sorry for him and gave most of it up.

But ****, you're only 18 once, may as well go out! Also, this NYC party scene... ;D

Get on it. Don't discount it until you try it at least a few times. A night can vary wildly depending on the venue and style of club/event on.

You'll seriously do yourself a disservice if you don't at least give it a chance. :)

 - Urban Dictionary

Not even.

Honestly if you weren't having fun, go to a different club, grab more friends to go out with and/or just give it a go another night. Granted it's not for everybody, but piss helps! :P Hell, Battuta's a teetotaler (aren't you?) and he still has buckets of fun.

Okay now piss seriously helps, it's great fun! Get drunk, do stupid ****, stumble from club to club, dance and maybe even find a member of the opposite sex to chill with.

Clubbing is definitely something that only works when you are in the right stage of your life, though having a group of mates with the same/similar expectations on what you want to while there do helps massively.

My current life in a nutshell from another IRC network.

Quote from: 8 October 2012 Monday, 2329hrs UTC+8, Freenode/#transcendence
[23:29]   <Androgeos>   In two days, I'll be browsing computer hardware with my sister too. Looking forward to it. :D
[23:30]   <Androgeos>   She needs a new desktop, which means I'll get her old one.
[23:30]   <FourFire>   ok
[23:31]   <Avan>   waaaaaait
[23:31]   <Avan>   what are the specs on the old one?
[23:33]   <Androgeos>   Avan: Rubbish, but if you want the full details, let me see how much I can recall from memory...
[23:34]   <Androgeos>   Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz
[23:34]   <Androgeos>   80 GB HDD
[23:34]   <Androgeos>   2 GB RAM
[23:34]   <Androgeos>   VIA/S3 Integrated Graphics
[23:35]   <Androgeos>   Mind you, we're not that poor, but we're not that rich to keep in strides with technological advancements, so we get by with a new desktop every five years on average.
[23:37]   <Androgeos>   My dad was still alive when we got our previous two desktops (they both came in during the third quarter of 2005; we got one free).
[23:38]   <Androgeos>   By any measure, the desktop I'm getting is nearly as bad as my MacBook, probably worse.
[23:39]   <Androgeos>   I've maxed out the RAM. It originally had 512 MB, but I replaced that with 2x1 GB RAM, which is as much RAM as it can take, not that any more RAM will do wonders given the shoddy repairs a few years back.
[23:40]   <Androgeos>   Once I start NOT having leftovers for desktop PCs, I'll bust the budget and build myself a nice little tower that I can be proud of ... if they still exist by the time I can do that.
[23:42]   <Avan>   They probably won't be going anywhere soon
[23:42]   <Androgeos>   If you discounted every single leftover I was given, this MacBook I'm using right now is the very first computer that I can truly call my own. It's been mine since day 1, and it still is. :D

My brief clubbing experience included a brawl caused by drunkards, so you can figure why I stay clear of 'em now. Clubbing is definitely not my thing, especially when that sort of stuff makes you go deaf or have severe hearing problems later in life.

I've been properly clubbing several times, I get dragged out to it more often than I'd like. I dislike it to varying degrees, with that depending on the people I'm with. But they're noisy, play **** music and are full of drunk people, so I'm really not a fan.

or you need to use a bigger club

So after working a dayside shift (following a nightside shift... ****ing 3am, then having to get up at a reasonable time...), I finally had that beer with that server

It was great, we talked for a good solid hour and a half. Talked about ourselves, enjoyed our meals, our beers, all that.
All in all, great times. It's busy for her, exams and all that, but trying to get another instance of it happening again

When I sat down with the rest of the staff however, the first question after a little bit of silence
"So, you going to bang her?"
(This coming from a very blunt girl)

Never did answer the question, despite being asked three more times in two hours

Four beers, good meal, okay day, awesome talk, hilarious times with other staff afterwards
Good day

Great, so now my mum has to go out and spend money to fix up my youngest elder brother's **** ups when laying some laminate flooring in the hallway. First he started with the boards facing the wrong way, then he marked and cut them on the reverse side making them backwards when he tried to place them (wasting a bunch of boards) and the ones that he did cut the right way look like they were done by a blind toddler using their feet. So it once again falls to FireSpawn to fix the derp ups of my beloved family members and re-lay it myself.  :banghead:

Edit: After some consideration, I have realised that floor laying is not in my range of skills just yet, so before I do anything that could make the situation worse I have decided to pass this derp onto my other brother who coincidentally, was supposed to lay the floor in the first place but pulled a sickie at the last minute which resulted in the derp brother ****ing up the floor. It's all come full circle people.

Well, I guess I can at least be a little less vague.  Without going into more detail, it involves the health of both my parents, although one is a much more immediate concern than the other.  It's never exactly a good thing when both of your parents are having significant medical tests done on the same day.

you know, you don't have to watch it for it to work. 

back to the clubbing thing, i was reminded tonight of a type that doesn't suck hairy nuts.  comedy club.  went to support my friend who bravely did a comedic "magic" act on "clash of the comics" night, in which he hammered a nail into his nose.  i almost didn't go, because i'd seen the act before and frankly a lot of the jokes he threw in are cliche and/or groaners, and i figured he was going to crash and burn.  turns out, he got 2nd place out of 12.  most of the 12 were about what i expected, a couple laughs mixed in with some light chuckles, but there were a couple REALLY good ones.  the guy who won was almost as good as the headliner.  the first and last competitors were well and truly **** though.  like, physically painful kind of bad.  people were laughing only because they didn't know what the **** was going on kind of bad.  and there was the one guy that had a five second set because the first thing he did was scream something that sounded close to "mother****er" and they cut his mike and lights.

the headliner though, dear god.  i'm not really a fan of what you might call "black" comedy, but this guy had me laughing so hard i can't remember what the jokes were other than that they were hysterical.  i'd share some of the highlights, but they contain copious usage of the kind of language that has started flamewars here before.   :nervous:  he wasn't under the language restrictions the contestants were, and he made sure everyone knew it.

Coupled with my mind replacing entire chapters (starting from the last one) with images of puppies to keep me from getting depressed by it.

I don't think it's something I'll try watching/reading in the near future; but then for some reason I got an urge to try to acquire Devil Survivor of all things (and still do, but the 3DS version of the first game hasn't been released for my region)...

I've had surprisingly good success with cheap Italian takeout. Chicken parm dinners for $7--gave me ~1500 kcals. Toss in cereal at breakfast and instant ramen for dinner--about $8/day and requiring but 10 minutes at the stove.

Otherwise, for cheaper look through your local grocers. Many sell chicken breasts and beef chuck for $3-4/pound in quantity. 2.5 lbs or more sounds like a lot, but split into 5 portions and you're well on your way to cheap dinners. Medium-grain rice ("sticky rice") and potatoes ($2/lb at Aldi) will hold you pretty well. Also examine your local supermarkets. Especially if you have a Wegmans--most of their house brand food is organic. Even if you don't, look at their more nutritious cereals and add fruit and nuts to it. Good cheap food.

It's not the #1 most nutritious diet (I'd prefer an organic paleo-diet) but it's far better than half-starving. I've been there and back.

Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the takeout chicken parm. A more detailed description though:

-10"x2" aluminum plate
-Bottom layer of about 1.5" of spaghetti pasta.
-Middle of thick breaded chicken cut into strips
-Middle-top layer of tomato sauce
-Top layer (~1cm) of mozzarella cheese
-Cook the pasta & chicken as usual
-Bake on low heat so the cheese melts nicely
-To eat, break the cheese layer and start swirling it with the pasta.

Otherwise, here's a cheap chicken parm I made the other night. I substituted home-made chicken for Tyson because I worked that day.

So I went to the hospital today for a hearing test and found out that despite my hearing generally being fine, I'm on the borderline of being able to hear low tones and yhe guy who administered the test said that on bad days I will have issues hearing the lower tones of male voices. This explains why I sometimes need my friends to repeat themselves several times some days. The actual consultant said that there was nothing wrong overall because it's borderline, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it unless/untill it gets worse and I start experiencing complete loss of hearing.

I hope they still sell the real Sudafed (pseudoephedrine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoephedrine)). I'd understand if they banned the sale of it, but last I checked (from personal experience), its replacement (phenylephrine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylephrine)) doesn't really work. :blah:

Pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient in making meth, which is why the sale of it is highly restricted in the U.S. and probably elsewhere. I don't think you can even get it over-the-counter in some countries.

Decongestants are mostly for things like constructing programming language grammars or studying for midterms, when being congested and dripping snot would particularly suck. I guess the stimulant effect doesn't hurt in those cases.

And I did make over a gallon of Herb and Garlic Broth using this fine book (http://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Cooking-Everyone-Deborah-Madison/dp/0767927478/). The author says it's good for colds. It required peeling and cleaning something like 50 garlic cloves, though.

Finished mass effect 3.  Unsure what to play now.  Options are STALKER Call of Pripyat, Bioshock, Red Faction Armageddon, Fallout New Vegas, Borderlands 2, FEAR 3, the X series, or KOTOR.  Or, replay other games with mods/supermaxed graphics with my new GTX 670.  I think I should finally be able to max out the Crysis-es with no stuttering ever.  There was some promising work going on with Far Cry that should probably be ready to go by now.  Might play STALKER Clear Sky again with Complete for giggles, but wasn't really a big fan of Complete on Shadow of Chernobyl.  Maybe if I can figure out how to remove the annoying parts.  I'm also behind in FSO mods, but the mood to fly hasn't struck me in quite a while.

The first Knights of the Old Republic was very good.  BioWare didn't try to shoehorn in the now-obligatory forced storyline romance, the setting is Star Wars uncorrupted by George Lucas, and it very well captures the high fantasy feel of the original trilogy despite introducing a bit of granularity to the nuts and bolts of the universe.

The second one played with a lot of cool moral ambiguity, but the utter lack of an ending was disappointing.

Meaning: he didn't direct it, unlike the prequels.  At best he only put the stamp on it that read "George Lucas approved" and didn't think about it again.

EDIT: Which is all just a roundabout way of saying that it doesn't suck like the prequels did.

 The Clone Wars CGI cartoon is better than all the ExpUni nonsense that has been made in more than a decade. Why? because Lucas is there so they don't mindlessly contradict canon.

What.

The Clone Wars CGI cartoon conflicts more canon than it generates.

I'm not going to pretend that all Star Wars canon is good (it's not, by quite a large margin), but I'm also not going to pretend that the prequels are anything more than a bad love story about an abusive relationship that features a block of wood with anger issues and Natalie Portman as the aforementioned couple.

Additionally, George Lucas isn't the guy who deals with what contradicts what in Star Wars canon.  That particularly thankless job falls to a person named Leland Chee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_canon#The_Holocron).

Decided on STALKER.  This developer really doesn't learn from their mistakes do they?  Immediately upon starting, noticed that the design hasn't advanced at all since the first one.  The only obvious differences being a different background image for the home screen and a new HUD layout.  The voiced dialogue/subtitles disparity has gotten much worse, based on the opening cutscene.  That horrifying head bob is still there, and still no in-game option to turn it off.  To ModDB I go.  And it's looking like they still don't code worth a crap.  Haven't hit any crashes or bugs yet since I just started, but based on what I've seen so far, it looks worse than CS, about on par with SOC, but doesn't perform any better.  As long as they didn't seriously **** up the gameplay, it'll still be fun, it's just what I'd read so far whilst figuring out how to make the previous two playable made it sound like COP was significantly upgraded and more polished.

Babies are annoying.

In other news, I just installed the AMD APP SDK, i.e. the thing I need in order to do OpenCL development for my game.

Does anyone have any experience with OpenCL? Either developing with it, or using a program which includes it? Can it fall back to a software implementation, or will I have to write my own fallback procedure?

I've used Blender's unstable OpenCL Cycles Renderer a bit. It did some great stuff, but, like I said, it's still an unstable implementation. The way that program's set up, it defaults to the normal software cpu-renderer setting, and you have to manually point it at your amd card's openCL implementation. I can vouch for the 'it-goes-faster'ness of it but that's about it.

Staff Party was ****ing awesome
Good 'ol Casino night going at the restaurant itself, won myself a few at Texas Hold Em, but lost it to Blackjack.
Glenfiddich is an excellent single malt, I do recommend it to those who enjoy a nice sweet flavour (at least, when I took my first sips, that's what I got. Sweetness)

But that's not the best part

Let's just say that server I had beers with a week ago... well...
We spent a lot of this night together
I don't know what I did
But I was successful for once in my god damned life
It's a great feeling

If people get pictures up, I'll be sure to grab a few because I look damned snazzy in a suit



EDIT: Was also involved in a fight outside the club/bar
Not as a participant, but as a "You're an idiot *coworker* if you think taking on three guys is a good idea"
...

He threw the first punch anyhow and well... yeah. You can guess what happened from then on
Meanwhile, I'm trying my best to remain inbetween the fighting parties in order to reduce the amount of mutilation *coworker* would have received

Didn't last long, resulting in the party of three being controlled with *coworker* pissed off, still wanting to fight, with a bloody face.

Oh alcohol. Always bringing out the more prominent traits of people
(Funny thing, *coworker* had a nice list of charges against him in another province. Club security guy was telling me I shouldn't defend the guy. I told him he was absolutely right, but that it won't stop me from at least trying to stop an idiot from getting himself killed)

There are two places I want to go
Scotland (for the fact it's scotch central) and Chernobyl (because it's simply the most fascinating place for me)

But yeah, I'm not really surprised it'd be one of the more common ones. It's not really expensive, and it tastes well enough for what you pay

Glendronach is great too, but the kicker is the founder shares (a variation) of my last name.

It's interesting hearing you mention Glenfiddich as something for people to look out for, when it's one of the most common whisky's here. But then, this is Scotland, where it's made and all

Tell me what the Scots think of Talisker

Not a whisky drinker myself, but my grandfather is quite fond of Talisker, although it is by no means his favourite. He quite likes his peaty Whisky, a taste shared by my oldest sister, so it goes down quite well. It's expensive though, so... (I think, as I say, it's not something I often look at unless I'm buying gifts)

 Okay so I'm writing a story that takes place in the future (by 20 minutes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture), but in space! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RecycledINSPACE)) with several colonies of Airtha (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%F0%90%8C%B0%F0%90%8C%B9%F0%90%8D%82%F0%90%8C%B8%F0%90%8C%B0) spread out across the Orion-Cygnus Arm and it's about ideologies and the terrible power of mostly scientifically accurate advanced and natural weapons.

So the Cold War IN SPAAACE! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment)

Now, I don't plan to limit the Mythologies I use to name planets or stars, so if there is a particular mythological name (can be a proper name or the name of a place, example: Zalmoxis' Wrath for a system filled with uninhabitable planets) that you'd like me to use, feel free to tell me.

 I will be making a proper thread for this in the appropriate forum once it's prologue is done.

Went to talk to the assholes on #gamedev IRC, which has apparently been disowned by gamedev.net ... most helpful person there said he couldn't think of any way to parallelize the task I want to parallelize. Bummer.

But then Australian doofus who doesn't like FS2 finds me a link to some 6-year-old pdf by nVidia that says they can do it, and the way it hints at (it was just a pdf of a powerpoint, supposedly there would have been more details somewhere else) is sort of like something I was already considering before asking teh Internets.

But now I know it's possible :D



Also apparently OpenGL 4.3 has "compute shaders" ... but there aren't drivers for it yet. Anyway I reckon if I set it up to work with OpenCL, it will probably be 90% of the way to working with GL 4.3 anyway.

currently dealing with a little dilemma, I not long ago got my hands on an old Dell Dimension 8300 with the intention of reinstalling it as a homework machine for my stepson.  Problem is I just got round to working on it and noticed it's the 3ghz Pent 4 870p version with a stand alone GF 5200 and 512 mb system ram, my main machine on the other hand is a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (works out at 2.2ghz) socket 754 with a GF 6600 GT and 1gb memory, both CPUs are single core and though the AMD is a slightly newer chip design the Intel has more raw processing speed.  So do I

a) do what I originally intended and setup the dell intact for my stepson
or
b) swap the graphic cards and one of the memory modules and take the dell as mine and let him have the remains of my machine so I hopefully get a little performance boost from the faster CPU.

:confused:

Swap GFX cards and go with faster CPU.  the Athlon also doesn't have SSE 2, which sucks (I have one of those xP ) Also, pop 2GB or more in both systems if at all possible within reasonable price (buy from ebay from seller with excellent ratings and a high amount of ratings), the computers will then perform alright vs. with 512mb they will be a pain in the neck.

All Athlon 64s should have SSE 2 support, the difference was that it was the later San Diego and Venice cores (2005) onwards had SSE 3 which mine lacks as it's an earlier Newcastle core, also just found out the Pent i have is an earlier Northwood so it is also limited to SSE2 but I am looking into if I can squeeze a Prescott (the generation that introduced SSE3) into the mobo

finding them wasn't the problem (well it would have been if i didn't have the install disk still).  getting them to work right was the real mother****er.  getting it to not sound like ass (only 2.0 from front speakers, no driver control) required a very odd combination of driver versions and seemingly irrelevant bloatware utilities, as well as a particular install/reinstall order and a ****load of luck.

Not a bad way to end a friday by going all out in bf3 and drunk!

I ended it by crashing in the student loft and playing minecraft with several friends and calling it a day at IHOP.

I nearly punched a fellow student in my painting class for leaving a bottle of liquin open that gave me terrible headaches yesterday. Liquin is a petroleum distillate, or in english, cancer factory!

Now, i've flat out refused to use the stuff to glaze or make my painting dry quicker but I deem the risk not worth the reward.

Close to bordering on temperament problems with the younger art students. These dumb kids keep on rattling that abstract art is "nonsense," and ***** and moan that process work is not looking like stuff in their heads. I tell them that process drawing and abstract art falls on experience and principles and elements of design, even the shoddiest of Graphic Designers should at least be able to moan about these topics. Seriously, if these young-uns can't identify or work within a context outside of their comfort zone, then they'd better find a new major, because even Illustration will spit them out like used rags.

Don't disappoint by saying "No, it was not at IHOP" because it makes it that much more hilarious if you were playing while eating pancakes galore




As for my Friday, I ended it with a really busy day at work (relative to what I've been going through the past several months now) complimented by this broken hose spraying 140F water everywhere
I may have burnt my face a couple dozen times... and everywhere there was bare skin

But that's okay. One of the servers and I sang the portal song and were the theme of "cute" today by everyone watching our antics
Good day

I didn't go to an IHOP a single time in college.

Not everyone can handle the glory of IHOP.

Actually I'm not sure I did either, mainly because the only IHOP around here is really inconveniently located and I have to get on the freeway to get to it, though it's less than five miles distant.

Got invited to an amusement park for free, spent six hours in close proximity to a girl I like, and got to watch my football team kick the **** out of the pre-season conference favorite (55-14) where the quarterback knocked on the gates of heaven and demanded his Heisman early.

It's been a good day.

The trick is to heat up the skillet with a med heat, and then turn it down to a low heat when your ready to cook the bacon. Cast iron skillets are awesome, even if they need to be oiled after each use (but that's what you've got bacon grease and vegetable oil for).

Oh, you've also have to constantly check on bacon, it has a tendency to completely crisp away if you leave it for too long.

Feeling more and more hate for society. I apply for a job (my first). Get told that I don't have enough experience. Look for work experience  programs and voluteering. Get told their lists are full or aren't recruiting due to lack of funding. Rinse, Repeat, RAGE!

****, even an apprentaship I applied for that would have had me working in medicine within six months just told me that I had been removed fom the list of posible canidates (along with 450 others) because they took a massive cut to fundings.

Oh Britain, how I love the fact that you are systematiclly taking apart ways that people can get even entry level jobs with a chance of progression, cutting back on the police force and stopped recruiting for it, and just generally screwing itself.

****, it's almost enough to turn to crime or the armed forces. And the latter of the two is the most unappealing for me because of the amount of contempt and dislike I have for this nation as a whole.

I sometimes cut up whatever meat I have (tried both ground meat and meatless/veggie ground meat), place it on top of a taco wrap, add whatever toppings and spices on top, add in condiments, and then nuke it. Simple taco to go with all the food I want and none of the mess. I'm sure you can do this for bacon too, right?

Yeah, but bacon tends to have a lot more grease in it than hamburger, so you may have to nuke it while wrapped in a layer or two of paper towels or end up with a soggy tortilla.

That's a good point. Perhaps separating the two and putting them on top of another as a finished product may work as well. Or just nuke the bacon for you bacon lovers. Hopefully, we enough information to get the folks who can't cook bacon or ran out of oil to have a viable option without resorting to IHOP or the other breakfast restaurants out there.

the shipping here is horrible, especially through shipping companies. cost me $30 bucks to get a mobo (micro atx, reduced size), cpu, ram and a wifi card. usps if cheaper (and usually faster). the only thing worse than putting up with the shipping rates is buying it locally.

If you can afford new cookwear, you can afford cast iron. Go to a yardsale and you have good odds of finding decent cast iron. You'll need to char the old seasoning (upside down in a firepit), smooth it (scrape with a spatula or steel wool), reseason it (coat it with bacon drippings), and then bake it (high heat for 1+ hour). After that, never clean the cast iron. I usually leave my own cast iron dirty until I'm ready to use it next. At that point, I'll heat it and then scrape the bottom with a metal spatula, pouring off the old oil and whatever I scratched off. Then cook with it.

Bacon grease, especially, is useful when kept for later. My pan usually has a coalesced layer of it, for the next morning. Heat it for a few minutes and throw the fresh bacon in. It'll bubble and pop a lot more, but the bacon cooks quickly and evenly.

Which reminds me, bacon grease is also useful for cooking eggs... that is if you don't mind having burnt bacon bits in your eggs.

Figured out today how to "properly" fry an egg, tried this time to put enough oil in to actually float the egg as it's cooking, so I don't have to try scraping it out with a spatula. It does tend to sizzle and pop though. I'll see how well it turns out in a few minutes.

[edit] turned out pretty well, even though I left it on a minute too long and the edges got crispy, but no biggie

Heh, I can beat that. Not only have I passed up chances but I actually turned down a girl that I had a guaranteed relationship with by convincing her to give her boyfriend (who was one of my friends) a second chance after they had a big argument. And another one was a girl in my class last year, but she was 16/17 and I was 19 and was uncomfortable with the age gap while we're young. She was also really short.

Moral of my story: At least you had a target, I was just beaten down by my moral compass. REPEATEDLY. Damn, I hate being a nice guy IRL.  :sigh:

when i was your guys age i had a rather unhealthy sexual relationship with my brothers wife. that lasted 4 years, and sometimes three or four times a day. my brother never caught on. ****ing idiot. he knew his wife was a sex addict. how can you not catch a detail like that.

so i was mining kethane in ksp, i decided while by base was processing ore, id take the buggy for a spin to pick up a stranded kerbal from a smoldering pile of wreckage (from the first attempt at landing a base) some 20 km out. thats an hour long drive at a rather unsafe velocity. however fortunately for me, my buggy was equipped with engines and had enough fuel to fly there and half way back. unfortunately however, while i was gone, my base and a spare buggy encountered some kind of anomaly in the space time continuum and fell into the mun. idk how to get them out now other than send new ones over from kerbin. fml.

It was because I've been watching the models for the storm so closely that I decided to check the wave height forecast in the first place. :V  Earlier they'd been calling for a recurve off the east coast (good for surf), but now it looks like a landfall is very likely (somewhere) on the east coast or canada.  Not good!

You wouldn't want a relationship with someone who gives up after a big argument anyhow (and then requires convincing to do otherwise)

How the hell are we related, my god :nono: If i'd spent more time with you during your developmental phase rather than working, army-ing, partying, tarting.......


One thing (aside from getting a job FFS) that you must, WITHOUT FAIL, realise with regard to moral compasses. Is that they take you on a point to point via the shortest possible distance. (ZERO, in the case of getting laid) the thing with ignoring Moral Compass direction, is that it gives you a chance to take the scenic route, which is prettier, has less smog, and is full of sooooo many possible turnings, most leading to boobies or life lessons which can be applied to your next sojourn into the big scary world outside of morality.

I for example, found out that Orinte from work, although married, enjoys kissing with tongues at lunchtimes.

Didn't say that.  "passed up," herein meaning "knew there was interest and never did anything about it cuz i'm a pussy" or "was completely oblivious."


i DID get to be on the turning down side once.  that was different.  that girl was ****ing weird.  and irritating.  and REALLY weird.  luckily, another girl (one of the passes) handled most of it for me.

I've got another project that's more pressing, sorry. I'll look into it when I have time, though... I heard that for the most part they've managed to build the form frontend of wxFRED, but haven't integrated with the existing backend of FRED.

As I might've mentioned before, wxWidgets does not like/permit you to mix certain parts of the stdlib with wx classes and functions... such as I/O streams.

the surf is big, but it's garbage.  most of it is just wash.  there were some breakers out past the end of the pier, but they were closeouts.  not that you'd ever make it out there anyway.

all this not counting the insane wind and i'd have to guess accompanying cross currents.  i went out in shorts so i'd have less soggy clothes sticking to me and weighing me down.  bad idea.  my legs got sand blasted to hell.  and next time i go out, i'm wearing some ski goggles or something. 

there might be something tuesday, and maybe a little bit of leftovers wednesday.  hopefully i can get out of work early enough.


edit:  just noticed my hands are slightly shaking.  crap.  :ick:

well that was a bag of **** i had to deal with. computer was acting fine for an hour or so and then started acting wonky. since there were issues with my bios recognizing my hard drive i assumed the hard drive was the problem. which ultimately turned out to be partially correct. i have removed the drive, mirrored over my os partition onto a smaller, older, and likely slower hard drive. oddly enough the original hard drive still works, just not attached to this mobo. its currently sitting in an external enclosure, and is connected through a sata -> usb bridge. now i need to figure out how to get 400 gigs of files onto a 180gb partition. to that end, i am deleting large things that i no longer need, like windows vista service packs, discogs of bands i no longer like, code libraries i never used, drivers for hardware long since thrown to the scrap heap, outdated linux/windows iso files and the like. and i might as well nuke any games installed to that drive as well. then i will archive old never changing files into big 7zip archives to free up more space.  so my 400 gigs of files will look more like 250 when im done. still wont fit but who cares.

looks like the abridged version of my files isnt much different from the full version. after i realized that other than my disk images (40 gigs) and my video collection (180 gigs), i had enough space for everything else with 50 gigs to spare. i also managed to cull out about 50 gigs of crap, and saved about as much space by archiving a bunch of old source code in 7zip files. nothing like a hard drive pseudo-failure to organize your data.

im now considering putting my 640 gig drive in here instead. its backup is a tad out of date considering the cleanup i just did. and i would have the abridged version as backup. 320 gigs is a little tighter than i like. and the 640 gig is just collecting dust in a barely used computer. its also newer, more reliable, and has a bigger cache. so more hard drive shenanigans tomorrow.

I don't understand why people who don't pay attention to meteorology feel like they can form opinions about it. :rolleyes:

Sandy is not a hurricane.  Hurricanes draw their energy from the latent heat released from the evaporation of warm sea water.  A hurricane has a warm core and its wind field is intense but focused near the center of the storm.

Sandy is a hybrid storm in the process of becoming extra-tropical, and is drawing baroclinic energy from a massive temperature gradient.  Such storms have a cold core and their wind fields cover a far greater area.  Sandy's windfield covers a third of the country. (http://www.twisterdata.com/data/models/gfs/3/maps/2012/10/29/12/GFS_3_2012102912_F06_WSPD_850_MB.png)  This also means that the biggest threat is storm surge more than wind and rain.

The destructive potential of Sandy's storm surge is rated a 5.8 out of 6.0 -- the highest for any storm since 1969.  The storm surge is already causing major problems and the center of Sandy hasn't even hit land yet.

Sandy will do billions of dollars in damages.

Take care and keep yourselves safe down there guys, we're about to get hit with some serious rain up here (radar is showing it'll hit where I am around 4:00-4:30) but it'll be nothing like what you're getting, and I'm not particularly near major bodies of water.

Probably should call my parents, my hometown might have issues as they're in a flood plain at the mouth of the Grand River near Lake Erie and they might be getting hit worse.

It is a storm with both tropical and extra-tropical characteristics (it is currently undergoing the transition), and they're still calling it a hurricane because it's less confusing for the public.

The important note is that, whatever you call it, it is a powerful and dangerous storm, and people under manadatory evacuation orders need to heed them.  I'm hearing very disturbing figures coming from NJ and NY. :nono:


--Oop, I just heard another transformer pop as I write this.  I will probably not have power much longer.

Instead of that normal, annoying tingling, it was full blown numbness and burning down the entire right side of my arm (very painful to boot)
It's still got that sensation

So I bend my arm and run my finger down the groove created near the elbow, only to find the nerve rather exposed

I can't do that for the other arm

His response was to repeatedly hit it in the face while it reared up and hissed at him. Fortunately it was just a garter snake, so I got him away from it without incident.

i found another amplifier in the dumpster. it is of japanese manufacture with analog du meters and a lot of professional grade connectors on the back. seems to have 2 sets of speaker outs, so it might do quadrophonic. the styling seem to indicate its from the lat 80s possibly early 90s, which if its true then that makes this one better than the one im using now. i wanted to test if it was better than mine, but i looked at the clock and it seems its 5am. so my fun will have to wait. with luck dumpster amplifier will be awesome.

So apparently I and another guy in my Systems Development II course are doing a better job at administrating a server than THE GUY THE UNIVERSITY PAYS TO DO IT.   :banghead:

We have a month left to put together the first couple iterations as a class of an open source web platform for use by the Food Banks of Guelph and a bunch of food activism groups as part of their initiative to better link producers and the public to food banks that need the goods. Wednesday morning we all showed up in the lab to get things rolling on the school server we had dedicated to our project, and that had seemingly taken months to get up and running. The server failed almost immediately and the system administrator is still trying to figure out what isn't working. So, we said 'to hell with it', and me and this other guy grabbed a couple of the old boxes I had laying around and made our own.

Neither I nor the other guy has ever done any remotely serious server admin, and yet here we are, after 2 days, running a pair of old P4 desktops (that I salvaged from the electronics recycling depot dropoff area at the Uni) on the floor of our prof's office as Ubuntu servers, and we have had more uptime and less issues with user connections and package setup than the server the school is providing for us. We've got our services up and running, our development libraries installed, and at least one other group has already built a skeleton website and has been serving it successfully.

Yeah, I think Universities tend to get Seniors and Graduates as their TA's and lab techs... which wouldn't be an issue if they actually gave a damn about what they where hired to do.  I had a guy like that during my Electric Drives course, he had a problem trying to figure out which cable went were on the lab station we where at (which was kinda cool) just so that he could get the 3-phase watt meter working. He had at least 2 cables swapped, and I waited for about a minute while he was looking at the manual until I just went up there and swapped them to the RIGHT way to get things started working.  :nono:

Heck of a guy to hang out with, tho.

i wrote a little lua script to read the output of an accelerometer (part of a 10dof inertial measuring unit module) connected over an arduino via serial. im using iup so the output is shows up as gui elements rather than ascii. its quite impressive. now i need to figure out how to get data from the gyro, the magnetometer, the barometric sensor, and the tempurature sensors on any chips that have them (they usually do for thermal error correction im told). then i have to figure out how to control freespace with it. :D i also want to test gyro based head tracking. best $18 i ever spent.

yep i went ahead and tested the other sensors, they are working. some of the libraries i found even convert the data to useable units. i was shocked that the barometric sensor is accurate to about a couple feet. placing me exactly 25 feet above sea level (and the sea being a couple minute walk from here, down hill, its totally accurate).

ive always assumed that if you changed your car insurance every couple of years, they would be so desparate to undercut eachother that you would pay practically nothing within about 10 years. though ive never concerned myself much with driving (legally at least). with insurance being mandatory and all, they will collect money no matter how little they charge people.

i dont think ive gotten that far yet. so far im just reading the sensors over i2c and dumping the raw data to a console. next task is to figure out how to read all the sensors as fast as possible (so far ive only read one sensor at a time). then i will figure out what to do with all that data.

Content that attacks heterosexual people as being sick and depraved. His counter was that I must be a homophobe, my response was to tell him that discrimination against anyone, regardless of sexual preference or gender, was wrong and that they should know better.
A rather vibrant array of vulgarities folllowed my statement.

What chips do you have? If they're all on the same chip, it should be as simple as sending a special command to make it spill its guts in one swoop. I don't think the I2C protocol has a "call me back at x time," so if they're on different chips you'll probably have to poll each sensor in succession to get the data from them.

3 axis accelerometer: ADXL345
3 axis gyro: L3G4200D
3 axis magnetometer: HMC5883L
pressure sensor: BMP085

they are all i2c sensors, with interrupt pins broken out. right now im only using the i2c pins. ive downloaded libraries for each chip but i will probibly write my own library that reads all the sensors. this module is nice because it handles logic level conversion for me, so i can just hook it straight up to my arduino (or my raspberry pi for that matter), as it will run at either 5v or 3.3v.

You had a spare?  You may be able to repair the tire or have a shop repair it if it has enough tread left to be worth it.  I usually keep an air compressor, as well as a can of fix-a-flat tire sealant in my vehicles.   Note that cans don't work well when cold though.  You'd have to heat them up before use if they got cold in the trunk in the winter.

they were low on tread anyway.  i was going to squeeze a month or two more out of them since they still pass inspection, but now it makes sense to just go ahead and get a new set.

that, and it looks like it was shot or something anyway.  :wtf:  puncture mark with a cracked X pattern going away from it on the sidewall.  luckily, my spare is a normal tire so i don't have to do it right away.

Mmm.  Keep in mind also that you can sometimes get tires with ~75% tread wear left for about half of brand new price.  I picket up 4 used tires for $200 like that, and new ones for my car are $400 at the cheapest place around here (Walmart auto center).  I got mine from Jerry Brown's Auto Parts; IIRC, they have an online store too, but shipping will chip into the savings (if they even ship those).  Find a reputable salvage lot in your area I guess, or perhaps eBay motors with a top-rated seller.  Or just go new, but jeez they're expensive nowadays.

i usually get my oil changed/scheduled maintenance at the dealer.  it's actually cheaper there than other garages.  might start paying the extra 10 bucks though since the last 2 times it took almost 3 hours even with an appointment.   but i'm certainly not buying tires on ebay.  going to a tire dealer and having them installed.

i just dicovered that the magnetometer library im using is so horribly bad and buggy that i had to rewrite major parts of it, because whoever wrote it missed importent stuff like return statements, and used the biggest most expensive datatypes possible, even when they were not needed. using type float on an 8 bit microcontroller without an fpu is inexcusable, let alone doing divides with it. and there was also a configuration function that took type float as a parameter, but then only used it as parameter in a contitional, and thd stuppid **** like 'if (floathing == 1.3)  somethingNotFloaty = 2;' so no matter what number i picked, even the one it expected, it would never pass the contitional because compairing floats without a kepsilon dohicky is retarded.

in other news i added a glcanvas to my imu test script:

(http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc103/Emperor_of_Nihil/Untitled-1.jpg)

yes this whole thing is written in lua. im using the iup interface module which has got to be one of the easiest gui libraries i have ever used. i need to use up some of that surplus space in the mid right of the dialog. i was going to add roll and pitch indicators next to that heading gauge, but i decided that function is better off being added to the gl window. so i want to move some of those parameters from the barometric sensor over to the other side, i may get rid of the heading gauge too, it doesnt quite work. i also need to check up on my physics maths, angular velocity is coming out as some kind of pseudo-orientation. linear acceleration has the device constantly dropping through the floor, because i need to compensate for gravity, but before i do that i need to know my orientation. the magnetometer should give me a solid orientation though, but ive had library problems with that. im also not sure what to do about filtering. i think some of the chips have filtering features built it, and id rather use hardware if its available, but datasheets are like big walls of text and i dont like reading walls.

yay i got my sample rate on all sensors up to 200sps. though what i should do is update the critical stuff more frequently than the non critical stuff. like i dont need to do any calculus on the magnetometer data, or the 'does everything on the chip' barometric sensor (though i doubt the temperature in this house is 273 degrees celsius, i thought it might be kelvin but tat still doesnt add up, there is probibly a calibration thing). i could probibly sample those at 100sps and up the gyro and accelerometer rates. regardless i think its fast enough to start looking at filtering algorithms.

Reason you might not want to go to the dealer all the time is: they usually give you good deals on regular maintenance, then charge you through the ass for everything else they find "wrong" with your car (which may or may not really need to be fixed).  e.g., my sister in law got the lifetime alignment deal with Firestone.  Then they tried to charge her $233 to i]tighten three bolts[/i] that they said her friend (who replaced her upper passenger ball joint / control arm for cheap) left loose.  Ah ha.  Ahahahaha.  NO.  First off, we need to check to be sure the part is indeed loose.  Second, if it is, we can fix it for probably around $75, assuming the part needs to be replaced and not just be tightened.

Dealers are good places, if you keep your head on your shoulders and always get second opinions.  (Or you know and trust the owner or someone who works there that is doing the work for you.)

I didn't mind the story so much.

I very much DID mind that you couldn't capture beyond the ship-cap.  HW1 was fantastic if only for the fact that my entire fleet consisted of the cap of salvage corvettes and stolen enemy ships.  The multi-beam frigates were awesome.

Also, HW2's enemy fleet scaling mechanic.  If you didn't ensure you were at ship-cap before completing the mission, you invariably got ****ed in the next mission.

The County Public library here has wireless internet. They've got "social networking" websites blocked, as probably as well as a number of others. Their wiring also seems to be outdated a bit, they asked me not to plug into any of the wall outlets for fear of blowing the fuse or starting a fire somewhere... which is kinda stupid. If they have some sort of conduit in the walls already, then it would be piss easy to just bootstrap in some new cordex and pull out the old wiring at the same time.

Ah well. At least it's much better than 28kbps for awhile, and I've got my bigass battery so it should be OK for a few hours.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that had no real problems with this. The biggest enemy force I cam across was probably 5 battle-cruisers and a few destroyers, and that was probably in the second to last mission or so. No mass fleet retiring involved.

I dealt with scaling by maxing my fleet before every mission.  It's either that or scuttling, and I found maxing to be more effective.

Yeah I remember that one. Didn't bother me that much, Black and White was furiously worse at it (not that it scaled, but the need to "max" everything before "jumping". I was just unable to end the fifth level due to that one).

i spent most of last night screwing around with sensor filters that dont work, but i did add a pretty badass opengl graphing window to my test script. its still buggy but it works. it will come in handy for countless other projects i figure. i was going to import all the font loading code from nukesimluagl, but it requires 4 other libraries to work. this little test script is starting to look like one of my freespace scripting abominations. the whole point was to prototype all the algorithms for inertial guidance before trying to re-code it in c++ and optimize it down so that it will run on an 8 bit microcontroller with no ram.

i was also rather disturbed to find the only tutorials on the net about the subject that include actual c code were completely wrong. someone even tried to pass off a simple low pass filter as rather high end exotic algorithm. maybe i need to start looking at quadcopter projects and the like. i also feel i need to reiterate about how badass iup is. its so easy to create windowed interfaces to arduino projects just using some of the libraries that come with lua for windows.

Which is still possible, but Romney can win Florida and still lose the election. If Romney wins FL, they could tie 269-269. And either way, it's quite possible that Romney will lose additional electors (regardless of if he wins or loses) because his campaign his pissed off many Republicans. Either way, the House remains Republican and the Senate remains Democratic.

I vote for Gary Johnson. I somewhat hope Obama will be reelected, if only for added influence come 2014.

I freaking ADORE cheese and ham sandwiches!!!

Pro Tip:

Materials:
-Toaster oven
-Rosemary & Sundried Tomato Ham (I'd argue is the best for this but you can easily substitute another good ham)
-Monterey Jack with Jalapeno cheese
-English Muffin
-Honey Mustard

Process:
-Cook the ham up a bit first, not much, but it will take longer then the rest of the materials so get it started first
-Put the ham and cheese in the muffin then cook till melty toasted goodness
-Insert mustard
-WIN

(Egg can also be added to kick it up a notch, and if you have spiral ham by all means use that over deli)

Lol, it's exactly the same here in Virginia/DC.  Funny story, couple years ago I was downtown in a snowstorm and this guy managed to get stuck in 3 inches of snow.  He spun the tires uselessly for a good half a minute, then finally gave up, stepped out of his car, looked at the tires, and then looked up at the sky with a look of total confusion on his face.  I stepped over to help him out and he threw his hands up and said "I DON'T UNDERSTAND, IT JUST WONT GO."

My (unvoiced) response:
YEAH MAN, THIS IS REALLY WEIRD, I MEAN WHAT'S ALL THIS COLD WHITE STUFF ON THE ROAD, IT'S KIND OF SLIPPERY TOO, I DON'T SUPPOSE THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PROBLEM AT ALL.  JUST A THOUGHT ANYWAY.  OKAY HERE LEMME PUSH YOUR CAR A BIT, YEP, THERE IT GOES, PROBLEM SOLVED.  NEXT TIME DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN AN INTERSECTION, OKAY?  AND FOR GOD SAKES IF YOU START TO DRIFT DON'T SLAM ON THE BRAKES.  ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT?  YOU'RE TOO DUMB TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW, JUST GO HOME AND STAY THERE.  ALRIGHT?  ALRIGHT, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

He got stuck again on the very next block. :banghead:

I dunno man, it's like the instant a single snowflake sticks to the road all the drivers go DUHHHH and lose half their intelligence points.  It's almost magical.

Based on the twice I've driven in the snow (or ice) in Virginia, it turns out our drivers are BETTER in the snow than on a normal day.  (I passed THREE serious accidents just now on the way home from work.)  I attribute this mostly to the simple fact that most people just stay shut in when it snows and the traffic volume is three orders of magnitude less.  The other factor is that since this is the south and we panic, even though the idiots still don't know what to do, they are at least paying attention now, which is a net improvement over normal driving.

Post by: MP-Ryan on November 08, 2012, 07:30:05 pm
I've come to the conclusion that most Albertan drivers are just generally unskilled, and snow exacerbates the problem.  People from here (again, I grew up in the mountains) learned to drive on flat, straight roads with wide shoulders that are salted and sanded to hell in the winter.  Therefore, the second any one of those conditions change they all panic or worse, don't change their driving habits at all.

I am constantly amazed at all the cars I see in the ditch (4 this morning alone).  If the road is glare ice - SLOW THE **** DOWN.  DO NOT STAMP YOUR BRAKES.  DO NOT STAMP THE ACCELERATOR.  USE FINESSE.  STEER INTO THE SKID.  BRAKE IN STRAIGHT LINES.  USE THRESHOLD BRAKING.  I've had advanced driver training for work but this **** is common sense.

I want to put an ad in the paper:  "Dear Albertan pickup truck and SUV owners.  Sir Isaac Newton does not care if you have 4-wheel-drive.  Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, particularly on ice.  That 4x4 does ****-all for your ability to brake, so now your better acceleration and grip on the road just ensures you're moving that much faster when your vehicle inevitably leaves it because you drive like an idiot."

That's why you need a pickup with Standard Transmission.  The 4WD gets you in motion and downshifting gets a nice controlled deceleration.

Heck, I've had almost the best luck with winter driving with my smallest cars. Slides a bit easier, but easier to get back in line. Less inertia. Had a Neon and an old 5 speed Saturn, best winter cars I've driven. Automatics aren't as nice as standards, but with some finesse you can make an automatic do similar kinds of downshifting.

Passed out in my parent's living room last night. So they took me down to the hospital, sat there for a few hours, and even though they are fairly certain it was just a combination of stress and starting with a stomach bug, they still have to report it to the Ministry of Transportation that I lost conciousness, and in all likelihood they will suspend my license until I can prove that it's not a recurring thing.

Now the somewhat good news is that it (according to the doctor) takes 4-6 weeks for the MTO to process the form and issue the suspension, so I can still legally drive for now and as long as I get my ass moving on seeing the Cardiologist I can get the clean bill of health before they issue the suspension and it won't be suspended as they will already have the documentation saying I'm fine before they issue it. Still, this is a royal pain as I'm going into the last month or so of my degree and can't afford to not have my vehicle to get around to look for jobs and to get to class and work on time.

Gal Civ II just randomly crashed.

It's probably gonna do it again when you get back.

This has happened before, and generally repeat crashes don't occur.

Still, I may transfer the saved game to my other computer just to be on the safe side.

Got my hands tore up pretty badly yesterday. I tried to grab a cat who obviously did not want to go into the house, where he was supposed to be. It didn't help that I grabbed him by the tail...

Anyway, left hand is OK, with only one bite near the pinky and ring fingers, swelling is OK and is a little sore if I try to extend my pinky all the way.

Right hand got most of the fury, with maybe 4 or 5 punctures on the hand and one near the wrist. Swelling and pain was to the point where I couldn't move any of my fingers, but it's gone down today and I can get back to typing/coding. :D

Of course, the pain and antibiotic medicines they gave me have a tendency to make me nauseous and dizzy.  :blah:

My cat is super playful but also knows his limits.  If I grab his tail he'll turn around and nom on my arm, to the point that it is felt but never to the point of pain or drawing blood.  He'll also nom on my leg when he's hungry.  When I'm on the couch watching TV he'll sprawl out above my head and nom on my hair.  When I'm on the compy he'll sprawl out behind the keyboard and nom on any random item within his reach.  Then at the end of the day he passes out on my bed and cuddles. <3

Then there's the times my brother finds kitty passed out upside down on the floor and decides he wants to rub kitty.  Kitty does not have the same relationship with my brother as he does with me.  Only I can rub the passed out kitty.  When brother rubs kitty's belly, kitty instantly goes venus flytrap full of teeth and brother screams bloody murder.  I think my brother might have the dumb because once his hand/foot/etc heals up it happens all over again. :)

He's a good kitty. O YUS E IZ.  LOOK AT IM, HE'S BEING CUTE. :3

Nah, I usually have good relations with most cats... the ones around my mom's house either run up to me asking for pets/food or run away and hide somewhere. The latter are usually the one's I haven't been able to pet when they were young, and tend to do a funny dance of "hide! run for the food, hide!" during breakfast and dinner.

The cat that bit me has always been aggressive and a bit of a survivalist, but he's never really hurt me this badly. My guess is that the other cats have been bothering him since they're coming of age and starting to get real territorial, when I grabbed his tail he might've just reacted, thinking I was one of the other cats. I didn't want to grab his tail, but that was the only thing within reach when I was crawling through the thorns and brush trying to capture the bugger.

That's how my cat usually is too, but like I mentioned before, he was under a lot of stress from the other tom cats.


Related news, right hand is flexible enough to use a keyboard again, although there's a spot by my right-hand's thumb that looks a bit... blackened. I'm guessing a small blood vessel that supplied that area was damaged , so I'm going to try to let my arm hang perpendicular to the ground to use gravity to my advantage. Still fighting boughts of nausea and dizziness from time to time.  :ick:

...
Wait. Same thing.

Not a euphemism. Literally, I was just to take out her recycling because it was pissing rain outside
Huzzah

Long day at work though. Got two out of the things I really needed that day. Free scotch and a pleasant kiss (partially interrupted by another server, but that's okay)

I made the best mash potatoes though. Proud of that ****

Just got back from the interview. I personally think that I may have derped out a little from nerves at the beginning, but I managed to get back on track. Turns out that it was a quasi-informal interview to get a feel for the people who have applied. The guy asked about my ambitions, home life and as much personal history as I felt comfortable telling him.
Told him the same amount that anyone who's met me knows: had a rough time at school, love science, etc.
Now I just have to wait for a call later this evening to say if it's going further or not.
Pass or fail, at least I got a small amount of experience in regards to being interviewed and not being reduced to a stuttering mess.

Yes, I've seen many fall victim to the Belly Trap.  Most recently, my almost-two-year-old son.  We've got three cats, and he was going for the oldest and most aggressive of all three girls.  She was spread out like a warm breakfast on the living room rug.  He starts doing his "meow" imitation and goes for the belly (as in, tried to bear hug the belly).  Nutmeg knows she's not supposed to harm the children, and I think that's all that saved him from being disemboweled.  That and she was so shocked by the whole, "What the crap is the Furless-Loud-Thing trying to do to me???" that her reflexes were more concerned with getting away than inflicting righteous fury.  He got off light.  A couple shallow scratches to the arms.

We had ourselves a talk after that about kitties, "Belly traps," and such.  Don't think any of it sank in.  He just replied, "Mao?" with this hurt and confused look on his face.  Oh well.  He'll learn.  It's pretty clear to me that Nutmeg likes him, or he wouldn't still be alive.   :p

usually she is quite a pleasant cat but moments like that I just want to strangle her.

Belly traps don't exist for my cat
...mostly considering she'll be sitting somewhere, and I'll just come on by and flop her over to her belly myself

She accepts defeat rather easily


As for interviews, yeah. Omitting is an effective means to trim fat. Lying however, I disagree with it being okay.
Though I don't see how home life or irrelevant personal history that doesn't relate to your job are even grounds for interview questioning. Never have I been asked "How's life at home", anything personal unrelated to my previous employment, or that isn't simply an elaboration of what was on the application form (or about my sketchbook that I had with me, but that was simply because he was curious). Personally, I'd of just asked "How does this question relate to the position I am applying for".

I have been asked however, about ambitions. Understandable question as it can be tied into how you figure the company will help you achieve said goal.

"Expanding my work experience so I can develop a wide range of skills"
"Working on the side while I continue my studies"
"Making this insane mod for a game called FreeSpace 2"
Boom.

I hate the following question though. It's based on the assumption that you like to do guesswork without any point of reference (it's like asking someone to measure a liquid in ounces by pouring it into an irregular shaped vase while blindfolded):
"What do you think sets you apart from the other candidates?"
"Well I don't ****ing know. I haven't met any of the bastards so I can't make an accurate guess or concoct a decent enough thought process to boost my ego"

Last interview, I actually stated that I disliked that question. However, he was very helpful by telling me a cookie cutter response which is what interviewers will most likely look for
"I'm hard working, reliable, and willing to do whatever I can to benefit the company"

Got together with some old friends from high school today, and randomly decided to go on an adventure.  So we went to Luray Caverns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luray_Caverns).  Pretty cool place, I recommend it if it's not too far and you like that sort of thing. 

Some photos (http://imgur.com/a/62CCZ).  Sorry for the cruddy quality, was using a point-and-shoot.

Now I want to go exploring a non-commercial cave, and preferably not die. :V  Maybe I'll try Mammoth.  I hear they have tour options with small groups and only headlamp illumination, and less artificial walkways.  That'd be pretty sweet.

Caverns are bloody cool. The only one I've been to I can't remember, but it was a decade ago and somewhere in the states
Some pretty crazy photos there regardless.




So I saw Skyfall with my parents yesterday evening. Great movie, and Bardem's performance was bloody amazing. Best villain in the series really.
But I do agree that was a waste of scotch

This was followed by dinner at my workplace. I am disappointed in the performance of the newguy server, but because of an error he did, we got an additional ten dollars off the bill, as well as 20% from myself.

And randomly, server gal was working that night, so unintentionally, she met my parents.
But that's okay. When we were talking about plans for Thursday, she figured she'd pull some strings to get into the aquarium for free and make out in front of the turtles

She had me at free, but that last part was an added bonus

I'm lucky enough to live within a few hours driving time of Carlsbad Caverns. The cave is damned awesome... even has an underground food court at the bottom.

The really cool thing to do, though, is to head out to the mouth of the cave at sunset. Why? Bats. Millions of bats! It's quite a sight.


Been to several other caves in the American southwest. Only other one that was really interesting was the "Ice Cave"... which is pretty small (little more than a glorified hole in the ground), but remarkable in that the temperature drops about 50 degrees (Fahrenheit) in ten feet as you descend, which is kind of freaky. There's a lake of solid ice at the bottom. Never melts, even in the desert summer.

Whoa, that's freaky, indeed.  That's one hell of a cold trap!  Kind of reminds me of the submerged sea-caves that have a layer of fresh water on top, and the salinity changes so suddenly that you can actually see it.

I'd love to see Carlsbad and the surrounding parkland.  Lechuguilla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lechuguilla_Cave) is freaking amazing, too, though I probably have a higher chance of someday getting into space then going inside of that cave.  Still... I can dream, can't I? :(

I'd love to see Carlsbad and the surrounding parkland.  Lechuguilla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lechuguilla_Cave) is freaking amazing, too, though I probably have a higher chance of someday getting into space then going inside of that cave.  Still... I can dream, can't I? :(
Yep, I've been to Carlsbad Caverns, too. Most massive cave system I've ever been in.

Canadian citizenship test this Thursday, my hour of reckoning comes.

Another person in Canada?  Sheesh, my fellow Canadians (or in your case, Canadians to be) are coming out of the woodwork.

Considering the number of people I met when I worked for the CBSA with Canadian passports who couldn't speak of a word of English or French despite one being mandatory to obtain citizenship, and considering your obvious ability to function in English, I'm assuming the test will go just fine.

While we're talking about once-in-a-lifetime caves, I think this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_the_Crystals) would have to qualify.  I've been to a local place called Crystal Cave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Cave_%28Pennsylvania%29) a few times, and we visited one in the Shenandoah Valley during a family trip to Virginia, though it wasn't Luray.

Started looking at cars today to replace my one that's going to hell rather quickly. Found a 1997 Mazda MX-6 for $3000AUD (cheapest I've ever seen one of those for sale). My first car was an MX-6, and I loved it until some jackass took out my back bumper, lights, and damaged the chassis several years ago. Since then I've had a 1998 Toyota Corolla, and it's had intermittent problems all along, so I'm getting rid of it. Part of me wants an MX-6 again; I test drove it today and it sails smooth as a mother****er, but mum says I should save up more and get a newer car. Will think about it.

Yeah, the times I've looked at a first car to buy, my mum has said to look at newer cars as well - specifically something that hasn't done too many kilometres (not much over 100,000). Personally I like the look of the Mazda 121 (the hatchback model, not the sedan). I've not got to the point of test-driving, mainly because I'm still on my learners.

I just spent a large portion of today helping with a small community event that was organised by a local police team and which had some stands from the different emergency services.
My day ended with the Sergeant and a couple of influential members of the community telling me to make a web forum for young people, that will include things like legal rights when challenged by the police, how to eat well on a budget and a whole host of other things.
Apparently they can see me as THE youngest chairman for the Safer Neighbourhood Committee for our ward, and one of the youngest councilmen.

I don't have a FLYING **** of an idea as to how this has come to pass, but I'll roll with it.

I've gotten SO much better at expressing my ideas. Holy ****, for some reason while on other forums I got to the point I wanted, on HLP at times I've written BS totally different to what I wanted to say.

God, it's annoying. Largely because I found it easier to express myself with text rather than speech. I doubt it's my autism that contributed to me not expressing myself the way I wanted to. I'm over it.  :eek2:

Nearly finished with milestone 2 of a 3 milestone project! The first 2 milestones have been making libraries to extract/pack data to/from various filetypes, with the last milestone being an application that uses both.

I just need to finish with writing up a crude version of an implementation file, and then start some simple tests to verify the methods work and refine the functions to a workable state.

In RTOS news, I'm considering looking into how multicore CPU's work, as well as explore the possibility of adding provisions to my RTOS design to allow it to be used on stuff like ARM's.

i spent most of today finishing up my 7 segment display array. im still not sure if it will work. im to tired to do any testing so far. i was going to do a ton of testing before i even installed the displays but i decided to install them anyway and get it over with. so its entirely possible i can fry them with software derps. thats assuming there isnt a short or an open somewhere its not supposed to be, which could just as easily fry segments.

She's not the type to do that
There's also no more room for people inside my head. I have enough of me's inside of me to keep me entertained, arguing with myself, and insane.

That and there's no one sidedness, and hopefully it stays that way as it's something I like about her. Instead of trying to always be in charge (either one of us), it comes down to us both pitching ideas until something fits

Yes it takes us a while as generally we're both going "Food, what do I feel like... what do you feel like?"
"Excellent question... there's a Thai place around here, and well as good 'ol pizza"
"Not feeling pizza, but Asian sounds good"
"On top of that Thai place, there's also sushi galore everywhere, and a vietnamese joint down 1st"
"Hmm, what are you feeling?"
"Spicy, so I'm going with Thai. It's also closer"
"Sounds good, but closer? What, are you lazy or something?"

*thus ensues banter back and forth before ultimately arriving at the Thai place*

Just uh, when you do splurt out your ideas, try to stick with your main theme

Otherwise, you end up with a basketball player who turns into a dinosaur, signs himself up for a ballet piece in the middle of a nuclear holocaust so he ends up shoving his head into the floor boards to survive it all only to dream that he's in disneyland and that everything is going okay until a bowl of shreddies murders him for dinner



EDIT: For all intents and purposes, I refer to server gal being girlfriend as a simplification to an over thought meaning about the term. We're dating and I'm saying this now to avoid confusion about what I define the term as being:

You're seeing eachother romantically, girl/boyfriend
You're seeing eachother for ****ing, ****buddy

i found the last of the soldering bugs in my pcb. the hardware works great now that i fixed all the broken traces and solder bridges.  but unfortunately the firmware doesn't fit in the 2k program memory on the attiny2313, which i dont understand because i thought i had gotten it down under 2k. maybe i modified a library and forgot about it on my last os re-instal/backup restore cycle. so im going to need to rewrite the code, thinning it out abit. which is ok, i think the overall design was too complicated and needed to be refactored anyway. too many variables, wasnt using the eeprom, serial protocol was too complicated, etc.

I have dreams too.This will be long, so don't you dare go "hurpdurp TLDR!" at me. Here's one, copypasta'd from my tumblr:

okay what the **** just happened

Before waking up a couple minutes ago, I had this ****ing bizarre dream.

There was this mildly obese dude in a crowd of people, in what was apparently supposed to be 1778 England. But for whatever reason, he suddenly marches up to this platform, and starts screaming, “I am Plutarches! I AM PLUTARCHES!” Then for whatever reason, he gets dumped down a bottomless pit by some person at a platform with all these buttons and levers and ****. I don’t ****ing even…

Then suddenly, on what was supposed to be the next day or something, the SAME ****ing mildly obese guy is right there! Holy ****! I thought you died or- wait what, why are there ****ING 17 of you! What the hell is going on?! are they- No, they’re doing the same ****ing thing as yesterday. They’re in the same crowd, marching up the duplicates of the same platform, and yup, they all scream “I AM PLUTARCHES!” and all get dumped into the same ****ing bottomless pit. Except this time, the crowd is ****ing cheering for some reason, and, if I my suspicions are correct, the goddamn Queen or something is there with some other dudes. Oh, and the obese dudes started fighting each other after they fell.

Holy ****, you people are horrible. But then, the same ****ing dude in that goddamn box drops the ENTIRE crowd, except for the Queen and those dudes, into that bottomless pit. Except they fall unto this platform instead. And as it turns out, it’s a apparently a fight arena or something. Then the crowd asks “Why did you do this to us, and suddenly, the Queen, who has been silent (asides from laughing, and being a capricious mother****er) goes and says “I wanted to win!”

WHAT THE **** WOMAN

YOU WEREN’T FIGHTING

YOU WERE WATCHING SOME BIZARRE REENACTMENT OF A FAT DUDE GOING BAT**** AND BEING DUMPED INTO A ****ING BOTTOMLESS PIT

EXCEPT THIS TIME THERE WAS A ****LOAD OF THEM

AND THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR SOME REASON

HOLY **** YOU’RE A ****ING ASSHOLE

GO SHOVE YOUR ROYAL SCEPTER UP YOUR ASS, YOU PRICK

Oh, and then the Queen pulls out this remote, and presses the butan on it. Yup. You guessed it. The second floor has a ****ing bottomless pit under it, too. The crowd all falls and promptly dies or something. Then the Queen and those dudes from before go into this box, which was supposed to be elevator. Apparently, despite the fact that it’s obviously to ****ing small to fit all of them in it, they somehow get into it anyway, so according to the part of my brain responsible for this ****, it’s supposed to be like the TARDIS or something.

Or more likely, given her previous behavior, the Queen went and pushed those dudes into the bottomless pit. *****.

And then suddenly, we’re at this ****ing canal with a tunnel behind it, and what looks like a sewer, and suddenly mildly obese guy is STILL ****ing alive! He falls, unceremoniously, out of a sewer pipe and into the canal. Apparently, the “canal” is only about thrice as deep as the average kiddy pool. No, I still think I would of preferred it that fat dude guy promptly drowned instead. Oh, and he’s naked all of sudden. Wonderful. Thankfully, the disgusting details are obscured. Thank the Four gods of Chaos.

So fat dude is swimming along the canal, we cut through some weird crap that sure as hell isn’t 1778 England, and now we’re at….

A ****ing beach. Except everything is flooded, except for this tiny stretch of beach. Apparently not too flooded, because fat dude isn’t have much trouble not drowning. Did I also mention that there’s three highrises, who are all black, scorched, and wrecked. Then this sad music plays, and suddenly, something, says something along the lines of “lol there was a nuclear war and that ****ing weird thing over there on that strip of beach was his mansion lol!” Or rather it didn’t, and that the dream somehow told me this without saying anything.

WHAT THE ****. FAT DUDE CAN’T POSSIBLY BE THIS RICH ALL OF A SUDDEN.

WHAT THE **** HAPPENED THE ENGLAND?! AND WHY IS THERE A SHARK (WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY HACKING) GLIDING ALONG THE WATER AND CHASING A ****ING BEACH BALL!

whatisthisidon’teven

So fat dude swims over to that strip of beach. He’s wearing pants too, now. Thank Khorne. And there’s this weird ****ing UFO-looking thing, that looks more like a giant kiddy pool than anything else. Oh, and it has gatling guns for some reason. And there’s a lot of stuff strewn along near it. Some guns. A table. Some chairs. A cooler. Some dildo-looking thing. And a sun lounge.

Okay, fine. I don’t even ****ing understand half of what’s going on, anyway.

So fat dude hops into the UFO-looking thing, and that pisses off the shark (or something like that) because it starts chasing him. So fat dude turns around and shoots at the shark with the WEPON(s) on his UFO-thing. Shark and fat dude fight eachother for a bit.

Of course though, the dream ended about there. Needless to say, I was quite happy. Kind of. I’m more ****ing confused than anything else.

Oh! And you wanna know something else about the Queen? She looked EXACTLY like that “Ice Queen” woman from the Zelda CDI who does that thing with a wand and talks about curses or something like that.

Pretty much. I have some others I can share if you want to hear about them.

I also don't understand this "thing" I have. When I'm sleeping, I'm "conscious" in the sense of being mentally active, i.e thinking about stuff, but I still get the stuff from sleep. Unless I'm really tired, or I'm in a deep sleep, this is always the case.

I can also "edit" my dreams while I'm dreaming. This is in the sense that I can make my dreams end by thinking it, and I can also add stuff into them, like say, I'm having this dream where there's this guy with a knife. I can give the other guy a gun and make him shoot the knife-dude.

It's really neat, but it's confusing as **** as well. I really don't understand why I can do this stuff, and I'm not sure how to explain it to people, either.

lucid dreaming.  i wish i could do that.  i've found a website or two that have processes they claim can make you start, but they are really complex and annoying, and i've never been bothered to try.

i'd prefer to not dream at all.  the really good dreams just depress me when i wake up from them, and the rest are so ****ing weird it drives me crazy remembering bits of them for the rest of the day, or in extreme cases waking up every hour or so.

I occasionally I will have a pretty coherent one, the last ones that stand out didn't even involve me directly, more like being the along for the ride in a movie.

One was a Werewolf film, took place at a power plant when one of the workers turns during the night shift, sorta played out like Alien from there on out.  Yaphet Kotto and Alan Rickman played characters.

Only one I can remember in the past week was one where myself and server gal replaced two people in a theatre skit. Since we had absolutely no idea what it was to begin with, we improvised a couple who were trying to learn how to dance

She was teaching me, while I was being the reluctant one who just wanted to read his book

 The most interesting lucid-like dream I ever had was one where I was a fleet commander, suddenly we were boarded by something that *dug* it's way through the hull of the ship, then it turned into a rush for the hangar bay as I was about to be shot... and then I woke up.

  Then there's that time I dreamt about the future on a day in school a few years back... and the events later unfolded EXACTLY as I had dreamt they would in real life a few months later. :nervous:

Hmm, dreams.  Last night I dreamt I was in Israel during a missile strike.  Was not cool. :(

The night before I did a lucid one and tried to go into space again.  Up up up up ooh it's getting dark above me I CAN SEE THE CURVATURE what the NOOOO WHY IS EVERYTHING MELTING INTO BLACK INK AGAIN NOOOOOOOOOO and next thing I know I'm back on the ground in a new dream setting.  Gah!  Why can't my brain handle high altitude?  Maybe dreams have a physical boundary afterall, and as you approach it the map just sort of dissolves and the dream reboots.  Maybe I should just ****ing dreamspin to the moon or something, rather than trying to swim there with my armlegs.

Unrelated note-

My "Girlfriend" a while back found out about level 99 Jo-Jo (see xyz pages back), because i told her. Why? You may ask, because firstly, it negates the need for a defensive confrontation if you pre-empt the information. Secondly, because i get the moral high ground, and it's a lot easier to snipe from high ground. I even unfriended her on Facebook without being asked or provoked/co-erced into it.

For the record, all my jo-jo shennanigans ended well before I hooked up with my girl. (16 hours before) my point is, I got an e-mail from jo-jo at work asking why the big "unfriending"? I just explained to her that "blah blah insecure girlfriend blah blah blah"

Anyhoo, jo-jo wants meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :wakka:
So i'm establishing a clandestine backup clause, not that i hope it'll ever be used.

In the meantime, Firespawn, you want her number?

total, including clean up time.  made a cherry dump cake and a cheesecake.  both bake for an hour (different temps so no doubling up) and the way i cook, the cheesecake prep takes about an hour and a half.  twas delicious though.  the improv experiment worked, but didn't turn out quite the way i imagined.

woot. i taught my seven segment array what numbers look like. thanks to a happy 128 bytes of eeprom which contain all the numerical mappings neccisary. first 16 bytes are the hex set (of which the first 2 or 10 can be used for bin and dec modes). the second 16 bytes is kind of a decimal extension, decimal digits each with their decimal point led turned on (to be used for the ones place with fixed/floating point numbers), and some symbols like - the exponent symbol e and a few others.

the next 64 bits is pseudo-ascii, essentially the center two columns in your typical 7-bit ascii chart, or at least approximations of those symbols (things like k, m, w, x, etc have stand ins). since the last colomn in the ascii chart has the lower case sumbols aligned to the upper case symbols, so subtracting 0x20 is all thats needed to convert lower case to upper case, which is very convenient. aside from that little transform ascii will map to it just fine.

ive reserved the remaining 32 bytes for user symbols. so you can upload new data to those areas through whatever com protocol i can shoehorn in. i should point out that im only using 688 bytes of flash with a 2k max, thanks to eeprom usage for character mappings, so i might be able to do both i2c and serial interfaces that i had intended. right now it just cycles through the char set, so i can work on communications tomorrow.

I can talk to girls just fine... it's the attractive ones that have me bumbling around like some cartoon character.  :rolleyes:


Started learn a bit more about the "++" in "C++," but I'm pretty comfortable with the language now and get stuff done with it. Still need a bit more exposure to inheritance, friendship, and polymorphism before I can say I'm an adept. Did stumble across the Boost libraries, which a few of them had apparently been indoctrinated into the newest C++11 specs.

Also decided to look into Java and JavaScript (which ironically are not both by Sun Micro.) so that I may be a bit more well rounded in the programming fields. Most browsers, it seems, has a built-in javascript console or SDK of sorts built in, which means I don't have to download a 20MB .zip for a compiler package like I do for most others. (20MB is a 5 hr download for 26 baud :( )

granted i'm not much of a programmer, but it's my understanding that java and C++ are extremely similar.  in a java programming class whilst helping some grad students with their project, an AI asked me if I was a C++ programmer because it recognized my style.  it also recognized the fact that i didn't need its help  :lol: (it was a 'TA' AI meant to be a kind of tutor)

oop is nice and all but i hate languages that force it on you. c++ still lets you do things in an old skool fashon. i dipped into c# for a bit and didnt much like it. i probibly would have the same opinion about java if i ever gave it a go. lua really works with my way of programming, you can have oop features if you need or want them, or you can do functional programming if you prefer. and you are not forced into a strict framework of classes either.

nukesim (lua edition) takes lua oop to an extreme, where most of my freespace scripts are still in a functional style. of course lately i keep a lua shell pinned to my taskbar just because i will sometimes run into a problem and realize "i know how to do that with lua". like generating the eeprom contents for my 7segment display dohicky. i had a text file with hex codes that my hex editor just wouldnt load into a file correctly, so i just wrote a lua script, maybe 10 lines of code to convert the 0x codes to bytes and dump it to a file, and it worked, all i had to do was upload it to my avr's eeprom.

i can throw down a text file and fill it with code, and run it on the spot like it was an application. to do the same thing with compiled code would greatly increase the setup time. i especially like lua for windows, because you get libraries for pretty much everything from serial and network comms to graphics and guis.

i don't understand most of what you said, but again based on my limited experience OOP can be just the same as good ol' fortran in practice, if you so wish.  in java, just throw up the main class and then program away like normal.  however, i for one liked being able to have modular code.  so long as i wasn't being forced to use some of the really wacko features for the sake of 'learning' and the professor wasn't dictating the structure (badly).


in other news, i am now the proud owner of all 22 (less skyfall) Bond movies on blu-ray.  black friday + having a job = splurge.  (yes i consider that splurging.  i'm a cheap bastard.)

Yes, yes you do.

It's summer over here and I'm attempting to take full advantage of our beaches and my sudden lack of exams. I also managed to hook up with this hot-ish girl last night (whom I met at an 18th I knew no-one at). Self-loathing and regret followed strongly soon afterward.

Thanks man. :)

It was definitely consensual, and I wasn't drunk enough to do something that stupid. Spent the day at the beach today and feel a lot better.

Just saw a most horrific and saddening viral video that is sweeping facebook. Some sick bastards put a small puppy in a plastic bowl, doused it in fule and set a match to it- laughing all the while.
Why is it that despite reading about all the **** wrong with the world, this is what made me almost shed a tear?

My first problem is that as a GM I'm not really sure I have what it takes to run an EVA game. I suppose I could lighter-and-softer a bit, but.

My second is conversely the opposite. Angels (and the Archangels from REDACTED or 2.5) are designed to be played for effect rather than tactically. And I'm kinda The Tactics Guy when it comes to combat, though I've never been much of a minmaxer. So I'm pretty sure I'll accidentally flatten my group with Sachiel.

Oh, that's a different kettle of fish. If he was lurking outide of her place of residence (or yours, had he asked you) and was a known active drug user, then calling the police was the right thing to do.

all of them.

and the blu-ray thing was yet another "format update" (read, encryption key change) that breaks compatibility and attempts to sell new software/players.  it took me more than an hour to figure out how to update my software to work.  it took about 30 seconds for them to tell me the new version for $80 would work though.  funny thing is, i... obtained the new version to check.  it didn't work either.

About the whole blu-ray thing.  It isn't like someone held a gun to your head and said, "You most make update from DVD."  This is Sony.  You know, the same people who made "rootkit" a household word in '05.  I mean, seriously, as famous as Sony is for screwing over its customers, am I the only that basically laughed and said, "Screw you guys.  I've got DVD's, an internet connection, and a TB hard-drive," when they rolled blu-ray out?

Repeat after me:  moderated servers only.

There's a reason why, in virtually every online game I play, I either play exclusively with friends or find a dedicated server run by a no-nonsense group.  While I appreciate the ability to curse and swear as much or more than the next person, I can't stand racist/homophobic bull****, and I like to play in environs free of it.

In fact, in every server I ever moderated (and I'm up to over a dozen in various games over the years now), I perma-banned people for it.  You want to act like that, I and every other reasonable person wants nothing to do with you - ever.

Hmm, I think it may be because there's hardly any hosting abilities other than "create game, end game" on consoles.

I has a TI-Stellaris ARM M4F :D

I'm going over the docs to see how threads are passed to each CPU... there's a set of general purpose registers that (I assume) is used to hold data for the ALU. I don't know if there's a stack pointer per CPU (which I assume there is) or if there's just one SP, I haven't gotten to that part of the doc's yet.

As I predicted, in our first game of Adeptus Evangelion, I damn near TPK'd the group by playing  Sachiel tactical rather than for effect. Have to work on this to ensure I don't TPK before using REDACTED's Keter somewhere late in the campaign.

Why the **** they WANTED me to drop Keter on them, ever, I have no ****ing clue.

Post by: deathfun on December 02, 2012, 06:14:16 pm
So I'm thinking of leaving my position at the restaurant because this one ****ing server is seriously getting on my nerves. It's not often that I lose my patience, but this guy is simply draining it from me

Been in there a year without a single problem. Then, we have a ridiculous amount of parties. Parties eat glassware like no other

They also drive the line and saute bringing me a ****ton of pans

More pans, dirtier water, can't send through glassware as they won't get clean

And yet, he comes into my station with this attitude that he runs this **** (he even said he can do my job better. I've been inclined to hand him the gloves and tell him to knock himself out while I walk out the back door to have drinks at the bar)
"This is the second time we've run out glasses today. (A get your **** together tone)"
"What am I doing right now?" *I point to the machine, which is doing a water change, so I can send through glassware*
"You should be on top of this"
"I am, hence the water change"
"Well make it go faster"
"Yes, because I can control gravity"
Here he makes a snide comment that the other dishwasher (who works the two slowest days. Mind you, he is better than I and I will agree to that)
" 'He' would never run of glassware"

Later I confront him that remarks like that don't help anyone. So what does he do? He continues his "I am better than you" nature by telling me that I should manage my time better

Okay, let's ask you guys. I come into the dishpit at 5:30pm. Dishwasher 2 is already in there. I first, grab the **** I need (chemicals, scrubbies, gloves). I then proceed to organize the dishpit (plates, inserts) and take over. Dishguy number 2 is now under my control. I give him the gameplan. While I do the pans, you're going to set through the baking trays and the cutting boards for walking space. Keep the back organized at the same time

We proceed to do that, but a few parties walk in, so glassware became a requirement. This is the first time we run out

So I obliged the requirement, got started on a water change

I then proceed to do plates, ramequins, cutlery galore, teapots and creamers. After that's done, I take care of all the stuff that was leftover from dayside. Well attempt to, more pans come my way. So once again, dish #2 takes care of the stuff that can just be sent through, and I'm on pans. Pans are done, plates need doing. I take care of that, and glassware is still minimal, no problem

Then boom, nearly right after I finish the pans and a couple racks of plates, more pans. It hasn't even been all that long, maybe half an hour. In that time, I've cleared front of previous dayside, taken care of a dozen cutting boards, and thirty baking trays. A few pots, and quite a few inserts. I've washed 22 pans (soon to be closer to 40) of which many were burnt. So once again, he's sending through things while I'm doing pans. Then the glassware comes in from the parties (because that's what happens, it comes all at once). Racks for one come over, and the other is half filled

I can't do it, water isn't clean. I pound through the rest of the pans, and do a water change

I repeat this cycle for the next hour, but this guy still comes in while I'm doing everything I can to ensure they have what they need. During a water change. For glassware

If he keeps with his attitude, I'll just remove myself from the equation. When someone tells me that there are two dishwashers who are supposed to be doing the job of one, without realizing that I'm actually having two dishwashers, doing the job of two dishwashers, he can go **** himself. If I was alone, I wouldn't be doing inserts or kitchen stuff. I'd be doing plates, glasses, and pans. That's what I've got the time for, that's what I'll be doing. They'd have all the glassware they need

But of course, he's widely known as being an arrogant prick who is actually considered to be less than average at his own job. The irony, and I nearly mentioned that, but what does that accomplish?

USA. We've had some similar problems, but not to the same extent.

I think we've figured out what it was: the people doing an upgrade to the service forgot to flip some switch or something on the main line that would reactivate our service. Damned annoying, but at least it's an easy fix. They're sending a tech out today to perform that. (My housemate seems to have better luck with Tech Support than I do.)

Until that time, though, I'm limited to on-campus Internet access, which is a hassle. Especially now, when all the big research projects are due.

Yep. A while back I gave up on trying to do it "right", and decided to just fudge it. But I still had to conserve (linear) momentum. But now I've got these huge artillery bugs able to stand with only one leg supporting them, because there's no conservation of angular momentum.

I probably made somewhere from a 50 to a 60 on my Calculus II final exam. Which is pretty much what I expected, because the course material started to make less and less sense about halfway through the semester. Which is, unsurprisingly, about the same time I stopped taking my Adderall. Oddly enough, it is also about the same time that I started having problems with my roommate (i.e. him bringing his girlfriend over to spend the night. every single night.)

Everything kind of went downhill at the same time. But that's just how life works sometimes.

If you think that's bad, then I imagine you probably wouldn't want to have the dream I did about a packet of sugar. Apparently, some guys figured out how to a small nuclear bomb from syrup fructose. The packet of sugar was apparently considered a dangerous criminal in many countries, but he had to stop the syrup fructose nuclear bomb plot.

And in the end, it didn't really matter, because for some reason, everyone went and nuked each other anyway despite the nuclear fructose plot being foiled. Maybe they really hate sugar. I don't know.

Just upgraded my RAM from 2 to 4GB, though using XP I don't get to enjoy it's full use... Not that I had an alternative since it came in a 2x2GB stick kit and I only had 2 Slots on my MB :doubt:
 
I think I might have found a portal to Dustland in there... I should get an air pump and perform a full cleanup, just wiping it won't be enough.

Edit: I have finally been able to play Chivalry without the crashes I had before! Yes... YES!

with the help of a a tech forum thread google found from 2007, successfully fixed the blank screen with flashing cursor on my laptop that happened to the main drive RIGHT after i wiped the old one to try a clean install of XP.

now someone who knows a bit about HDDs set me straight here; if checkdisk is finding bad sectors and recovering them (unsuccessfully it seems), shouldn't that be setting off the SMART warnings for the drive?  cuz mine still reads health, at least by seagate's own program.  i don't know how to check it just in windows.

Currently posting via Steam while I experiment with the Steam browser.  It's... not so great.  Resolution issues, responsiveness issues, and just not as intuitive as it should be.

EDIT: fixed the resolution issues, at least.  Responsiveness still awkward, to say the least.  As soon as I find out how to open more than one tab, it might almost be functional.

It supports middle-clicking, albeit somewhat awkwardly.  God forbid you venture anywhere near something using Flash though.

It plays Pandora, and is significantly less memory intensive with an equal number of the same tabs open than FF (or at least the session I was using.  I only tested once, so there's probably some error in there), so I might actually use it for somethings.  Not everything though.  Not by a longshot.

I understand this, and I'm certain I know what it is:

You lack physical and mental stimulation. Dull tasks make for a dull state of mind, and lack of exercise slows everything down. You probably can't or shouldn't pass on the dull tasks, so do some exercise and tend to your body. Your brain should feel better as a result as well.

Otherwise ATM I gym 3 times a week. On Stronglifts 5x5 if anyone is familiar with that, though I'd recommend anyone who's keen to start lifting and has access to a good coach/personal trainer get on Starting Strength, but that you'd already know if you've done your research.

Also had a good day at the beach today, and am nursing some nice burned feet from the hot sand. Must invest in thongs. (yeah that's right, they're THONGS, ya' bastards) :D

Wrestling with professor-induced ambiguity and obfuscation on my final exam tomorrow.

You know, when even after giving your students a schematic of things to study for the exam they feel as if it doesn't help at all to parse the important elements from notes totaling as many as 29,000 words, you're doing it wrong.

Minor panic attacks are abounding, as this is the final exam I need to pass in order to finish off my degree. I need a minimum mark of 45% or so to pass the course, and the sad part is I'm worried about even getting that as this prof has shown that for whatever reason she hates my writing. Midterm where I 75% the multiple choice, but 0 the short answer questions despite answering most of them, anyone?

I'm thinking more like District 9, a gritty reality of us, humans dealing with ten thousand aliens, which is a dinky number compared to our population. I wanted to make them feel 'small' from the gecko, also Aylora and Kyral have the Dark Tormentor breathing down their necks. Thirty-One days they have freedom and to prepare for the incoming invasion. *It sounds like ME3, but on the side of more hopelessness*

After not touching my guitar for far too long (on the order of months), I spent about seven hours yesterday playing it.
My fingers hurt.

Someone from the same year as me at school tried to add me on facebook tonight. This same guy was responsible for some of the most violent and soul-blackeningly spiteful points of my time in education, and a large contributing factor towards my aversion to meeting people in my own age bracket. It's safe enough to say that 'Hatred' doesn't quite come close to what I felt for him.

I'm no stranger to anger and frustration, but seeing his overly cheerful friend request after all these years and all the grief he's responsible for caused me to feel a cold fury that left me shaking and genuinely afraid of myself.

Now I just feel ashamed that even after all this time, I'm still letting some little **** draw out the worst in me.

****. Now I can see the appeal of drinking to forget.

an afternoon/evening full of music has successfully buried the feelings of overwhelming sadness.  for now. 

i DESPERATELY need a kick ass rock concert.  halestorm in january is too far away.  and i suspect i will be attending that one alone anyway.  DMB was in raleigh tonight, but found out about that too late to go.

So I ran a registry problem finder after some recommendations... and the reported amount of errors was almost FIVE THOUSAND!  :shaking:

Post by: Klaustrophobia on December 12, 2012, 10:34:07 pm
almost none of which probably mattered in the slightest.  i used to run registry defraggers/"optimizers" all the time, but more recently decided it was a bad idea.  benefit is usually none (maybe not in your case with 5000 'errors'), and while i never caused any significant damage, it could, and i did get odd side effects every now and again.

so the little of the 121212 concert i watched has been pretty bad.  it's like they found every croaking, old, voice-gave-out-years-ago rocker they could find still alive (Joe Elliot of Def Leppard missing though), and then inflicted kanye west on the poor audience for extra giggles.  i flipped it on for about 20 seconds in his set because someone posted on facebook that he was wearing a black leather kilt, and GOD it was awful.  the first lyric i heard was "i smacked my [girl] and she called the feds." there was one bloke off to the side sorta kinda dancing, the entire rest of the audience was dead still, and if i could have seen their faces i imagine it would have been a kind of "is this guy fking serious?" expression on them all.  they should have brought in mike meyers to say "Barack Obama doesn't care about white people" during his sandy speech.  if he even gave/gives one, i don't know if he did/will.

Eddie Vedder was good singing Comfortably Numb (not played by David Gilmour, that just ..... feels wrong), but that's about it that I saw.  I'm guessing Dave Grohl was decent, but didn't see him.

It appears to have helped, haven't had problems since running a cleaning. It does require a more ample testing time before I can say if it fixed things or if I am just being lucky. That will have to be tomorrow, however.

Most likely
What's worse though, is that the 75 was really a 30. Why is that worse? Because it completely ****s with our labour costs when we prepare for a party that's going to be ****ing 75

And it was still a **** show

I generally find that standing up immediately on getting a leg cramp gets rid of them. And it was having one that hurt me for a while after it was over that made me look into it. I've never had one when standing. Before I would try to either relax the leg or straighten it out like you see footballers do on TV, but it didn't do much good. So now If I get one, I immediately fly to my feet as if I've just been stung on the ass by a wasp  :lol:

I find the best approach is to grab my toes and pull with my arms while trying to push out with the cramping leg as hard as I can.  Leg is still usually kind of sore for the rest of the day, but it at least brings the cramp itself to a halt.  These are cramps in my calves, not thighs.  YMMV.

Whenever I get a cramp, I stand up (if I can) and stretch out wherever has the cramp. I then massage the area with a circular motion while applying a firm yet gentle pressure. The pain is usually gone in a few minutes and it rarely leaves the cramped muscle tender or sore.

Crap.  I'm sorry, Flipside.  That is a very cruel disease.  My grandfather eventually died of it.  If it is any consolation, in the case of my grandfather at least, he lived a long time (over a decade) after we confirmed something was wrong.  It was only in the last year or so that communication became very difficult.  And even then, his mind was completely intact.

I remember, I was at his house with my family.  I was helping trying to help my little brother out with some calculus that  was kicking his butt.  Integration by parts, I think.  Papa could hardly walk at this point, but he comes up to see what we're talking about.  I was having trouble remembering something.  He brightens up, "Oh, I remember that.  You just..."  And there he was.  He'd been retired for goodness knows how long, his body was wrecked by Parkinson's, and he just whipped out integration by parts with all the missing bits I was struggling to remember, just like that.  Brother's jaw and mine hit the floor simultaneously.  I mean, you could hardly understand the words he was saying, but it just struck me like a knee to the head: he's still in there.  The shell of a body he lived in was breaking down, but Papa's mind was still sharp as a razor.  All the way to the end.

It's a ****ty comfort, that at least your mind is still there even as your body control goes, but it was a comfort to me.

Treatments do keep getting better, too.  Maybe there will be a cure soon enough to help your friend.  Regardless, my heart goes out to you and him and his family.

Thanks all. He's got to go for a second MRI for double-confirmation, but a Doctor rarely makes any kind of diagnoses like that without being 99% certain he's right.

Sadly, it is early-onset, he's only 43 years old, but yes, there are treatments that can help with the early symptoms, however, the biggest heartbreaker for him is that his greatest love is playing the keyboard, and he's not sure how long he will be able to continue, his right hand already has a visible shake to it.

You realize I added a more professional source on my post as well? There is no excuse for using a biased source, You should give facts as neutrally as possible, information should be influenced as little as possible by news agencies. And the Onion is not a real one.

That said, it is a regrettable incident. But worse (http://www.genocidewatch.org/images/DRC_12_11_14_UN_Report_Finds_Evidence_of_Arbitrary_Killings.pdf) things are happening (http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=43739&Cr=hungary&Cr1=#.UMwRgOTBF8E) right now, which no one comments on, and it vexes me greatly.

Pretty sure Mongoose knows what he's doing and knows The Onion is a satire site. He further knows that anyone here with even a modicum of internet savvy will be able to pull up a dozen real news articles on the subject with ease. He obviously posted the Onion article because it reflected his feelings of shock, exasperation, and... defeat I guess, but not because he thought it was an objective factual account of the events. I mean seriously.

EDIT: The title of the god damned article is literally "**** Everything." I mean do you really think that anyone here is going to mistake that for a real news article and be misinformed. That's just downright insulting to like, the entire board.

I don't feel much of anything about what goes on in the world (close or not). It happens
The only reason some people feel what is happening closer to them is far more important, is because it's closer to what they consider their safe haven. When their illusion of safety is fractured by something happening so close, it's going to affect them more than what is tragic and happening half way around the globe

Was looking here (http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/mk802-is-android-4-0-ics-pc-on-a-memory-stick-puts-the-power-of-a-tablet-in-a-usb-drive) at that Raspberry Pi site, and thought the Android pc on a stick would be a good multimedia player that i could stick my external terrabyte HD into. Any opinions on the subject?

Also looking here (http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/productMobile.do?method=index&directoryId=6001&treeId=3745) at cheap as chips smartphones as i'm keen to try my hand at picking one apart and pimping it out as a complete emulation system.

16 bit console Emulation FYI :D

the pi is actually kind of nice but its also a total pita. finding a power adapter that can actually power it is damn near impossible. i ended up using a 3 amp switch mode supply (a ubec for an rc aircraft, i actually have it running off of a makeshift lithium battery pack). of course the damn issue with the polyfuses means that you cant have any usb devices that burn more than 140ma (this makes wifi dongles hard to use). there are warranty voiding tweaks that can be done to fix it. but fortunately this issue has been fixed as of the last revision. once you get it working it runs great. but it is a linux board and i am no fan of linux. i read somewhere that you might only spend $35 on a pi, but you will end up spending $50 in accessories just to use it.

Perhaps.  It also manages to go significantly closer to the books and appendices by virtue of spending 9 hours on less than 400 pages of text.  Honestly, it's about as close as any one is going to get to actually making a book into a movie and not sucking at it.

They're including a ton of things from "The Book of Unfinished Tales", the appendices, and even some Silmarillion stuff here and there.

They are also showing stuff that the book only alluded to. Gandalf's encounter with the Necromancer is almost certain to be shown, while in the book that happened entirely offscreen and was only told secondhand.

On the whole, it's a very good job so far, and it seems that it's not so much "The Hobbit" as it is "The Prequel to the Lord of the Rings". Not that this is a bad thing, mind you.

i thought LOTR movies were incredibly well done as far as matching the book, other than bits left out for the sake of time.  i saw the movies first, and as i was reading the books i felt like i was pretty much reading the script.

I saw The Hobbit the other day aswell and thought that it was indeed entertaining enough for me to go and watch the parts 2 and 3 too when they get released to the theaters.

LOTR movies themselves were really well done, except for the end of the third.
Even though it felt almost as dragged in the books the movie version felt like it ended five times before it actually did end.


I wish they'd make movies from The Belgariad and Malloreon.

I always laugh at that sentiment being expressed, because most of the people who do don't realize that there was an entire storyline at the end of ROTK that was omitted from the movie.  Plus anyone who'd read the book beforehand knew that there was only one possible point for the movie to end, and it sure as hell wasn't back in Minas Tirith. :p

Screw cans of compressed air! All you need is a pair of lungs, some spit, paper kitchen towls, a selection of screwdrivers with assorted sized heads and a multitool and you can guarantee your rig dust free and running smooth as a bird.
Also, to hell with avoiding static! I say before doing anything, you need to put on a pair of slippers and build up a nice charge on the living room carpet before opening up the case and getting to business.

Went to the mall today with my mom.  When we came out, there was a small envelope on our car with a bow and ribbon that said "A random act of kindness in memory of Sandy Hook Elementary student <name i don't recall>".  I opened expecting to see a christmas card or a photo and tribute or something, but instead found a small amount of cash.  I wish i had known that beforehand and I would have transferred it to another car.  Instead it was added to the tip when we went out to eat later.

Well go check out the RottenTomatoes page. Also, it was in production well before bin Laden was killed, when it was going to be about Tora Bora. His death forced some serious reshuffling but apparently didn't hurt the film.

you can blame the move to widescreen monitors for that. i had a 1400x1050 screen once though (in 2002!), it was pretty awesome. then enter widescreen which swapped in and made accumulated vertical resolution awesomeness go away. and glossy screens wtf? my last laptop had one of them and i hated it. so im taking an extended break from laptops to give the technology time to un-retard itself.

i don't think there's going to be any un-retarding of laptops going forward.  hell, i bet the big manufacturers and telcom companies try to phase them out altogether in favor of tablets and smartphones. 

what i want is basically a small terminal to tap into my desktop/get on the internet so i can watch movies and **** while my fat lazy ass lies in bed.  that means i don't want a 17" 8 lb monstrosity, and i don't want a resolution WORSE than what i already have.  hell, i could even deal with a glossy screen if i had to.  i'm almost tempted to try and rebuild this one with new parts.  my uncle just told me he replaced his laptop's motherboard himself.  it was hell, but apparently it CAN be done.

So I actually decided that over and above all the other Christmas stuff I'd do for people, I'd sit down and slam out chapters to the four stories I'm still updating that I write.

It didn't work. I underestimated how much effort goes into one of them. (And while the day is not over I have no confidence I can put down enough on paper in the remaining 2 hours and 37 minutes to get it done.) But I did update three, today, with stuff mostly written today, for a total of 4207 words. Not terrible.

EDIT: I also apparently decided this was more important than doing anything with the stuff I got for Christmas. This is almost as bad as the 24-hour FRED experiment which resulted in Operation Savior, once upon a time.

laptop repairs suck. ive only pulled it off correctly once. and there were screws left over so i dont think i did it right, but the laptop worked. if you can try to find a service manual for it (not the user manual). it explains things like how to open the laptop without destroying it.

i decided i would play with pid algorithms today. i built me a 1 axis gimbal platform out of legos and rotated by a standard hobby servo (with lego adapter plate). on the platform i placed a breadboard with an arduino nano and an imu. i then ran my pid script (yes it was written in lua, the arduino just sends out the imu data and accepts servo position values, the script does all the maths). after about 15 minutes of tweaking and calibration, the platform keeps itself level to gravity on the gimballed axis and does so promptly with very little overshoot. next step guided missiles.

Likely scenario and I've considered it. However, outside pressure from everyone who do not want me to leave will most likely change his mind (other likely scenario)
Technically though, I never signed the official letter of resignation so it's not technically valid

In the end, gamble



Happier note: Server gal was surprised, and yet quite happy that I gave her a call Christmas morning (well for her, afternoon). Talked for a nice long while about her time out East, how's she enjoying herself, what I've been up to, etc. Apparently her dog likes to chew the plastic mesh pot scrubbers. It's also apparently extremely effective at cleaning his teeth. He also got the Adolf reindeer (Rudolph, but they're trying to teach him it's name as "Dolph" so it sounds like Adolf). There was also a gay lizard involved named Fernando

Yeah, The Hobbit was a bit too tedious for me.  I never thought I could say that a movie followed a book too closely. :I  It was almost like going through a checklist, like "okay, dwarven song, check.  Bilbo wakes up.  Check.  Bilbo finds the group has left without him and begins to second guess himself.  Bilbo runs off to catch up with them.  Check check."  and so on for three full hours.

ed:  I really liked the portrayal of Radagast.  I'm glad they spend more time with his character than the book did.  Also Andy Serkis' performance was easily the best part of the movie.

Hmm, I don't get the "Followed the book too closely" gripe about The Hobbit, it didn't follow the book that closely at all (Screethes of stuff were added, and cut), but I found it ****ing fantastic. Really, an awesome movie. Left me looking forward to the rest of the movies. A much more narratively complete story than The Hobbit, which is an achievement in itself.

Indeed. Second time around she hinted at some issues regarding her attractiveness and presumably self worth, I think, so that was sad (she's actually not a bad looker either). Not sure if kissing her was the right thing, but the last thing to come out of her mouth was literally 'Will you kiss me, Dilmah?'

My night started off with me filling my trusty flask with GlenDronach scotch. I then proceeded to go to the restaurant and meet up with the Fry Guy who was hosting the party
Unfortunately, I was unable to catch a ride with him, so instead I went with two gals and their significant others (all from the restaurant). We all proceeded to go to the gals' place, but broke the champagne on the way out of the car. Ah well, shotgun beers was the replacement

So my New Years kiss was actually to my flask while the others did their thing.

Then off to the party where I learned that some people just can't hold their **** together. Great times though, met quite a few interesting fellows
The bathroom also didn't have a door, but some ****ing quilt covering the entrance. So I might've walked in on a gal taking a piss.
Slyly, I just direct all vision towards the sink "Didn't see anything, don't mind me" to wash my hand which was covered in beer.

I slept over at the gals' place when we headed on back. I also forgot to mention she flashed her significant other right beside me. Me being me, ignored it.

Waking up wasn't bad. No hangover. However breakfast killed me as I thought it'd be a good idea to have

See, the Prime Rib Hash is the heaviest item we've got. The most calories, and don't you dare look at the fat/sodium content. Your heart will stop
Much like mine. I swear, I was about to keel over and die

EDIT: Completely forgot. There was a guest in the restaurant who borrowed a lighter from the bartender, and then proceeded to light his cigarette in the restaurant. It was hilarious as he also got stuck inbetween the two sets of doors (as we were locked at this point). So here he was, cigarette in hand, making the place smell oh so nice, trying to get outside

You've only got another 42 hours before you'll start hitting micronaps regardless of what you do to stay awake.

Anyone happen to have an idea of what laptop brands are the ones to go with reliability-wise these days?  My brother's looking to buy your standard 15" model for work, and while he has a good idea on the specs he wants, the brand is not-so-much.  I'm not very knowledgeable on them myself, though from the bit of research I did, it seems like Acer is now kind of **** (which surprised me), while HP is on the rebound.  I know he linked to a few from Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung, and ASUS as other possibilities.

I'll personally vouch for the quality of my Toshiba.  It's my primary PC, and it works wonderfully.  The only strike against it is the Integrated graphics.  If he has a desktop that can take care of gaming, Toshiba all the way.

I've been sick with a viral infection this entire week, so I missed New Year's celebrations and now my birthday. However, I just watched the most entertaining tennis match I have ever seen, and laughed more than I have this entire week. I never knew tennis could contain so much comedy. Mixed doubles, Serbia vs Germany at the Hopman Cup. Entertainment courtesy of Novak Djokovic.

it's pretty much how i operate.  not really intentional since leaving uni though, i've just never really been able to get back into a normal cycle.  it's great if you don't have to meet a normal daily schedule like going to work for 8 hours.  i used a very light version through most of college, 4-6 hours at night and a nap of varying length depending on schedule/whenever i woke up in the middle of the day to afternoon.  semesters when i had piss easy course loads i would drop to 3-4 hours at night and either multiple or longer naps during the day.  basically whenever i felt tired and had enough time to sleep for a bit.  it was nice to sleep whenever the hell i felt like it, but the few occasions where i got tired but couldn't sleep yet were kinda bad.

no just a side effect of living right on the ring of fire. this is the second relatively large quake in this area in the past several months. this one had the whole town spooked with a tsunami warning. everyone was driving inland. except me, dispite living two blocks from the water, if i was going to die i would definitely want to be there.

The one I went to had various species of cacti outside their entrance, with nameplates in from of them identifying them. They also put a nameplate reading "Stealth Cactus" in front of a completely empty patch of land.

They also had a "stealth bomber" exhibit set up inside that was nothing more than the landing gear of a plane, arranged as though it were holding up an actual plane.

Post by: watsisname on January 10, 2013, 07:26:18 pm
Yes. :)  Pyrite has a different color, luster, streak, and density than gold.  I've actually yet to find any pyrite in my pan -- usually what I get is a heck of a lot of black sand (mostly magnetite), flakes of mica, quartz grains, some tiny garnets, and occasionally some black but lustrous and non-magnetic material I have yet to identify; I think it's galena.

Gold is actually really easy to identify once you get the hang of panning; not just by the color but also it's behavior in water is totally different from everything else as a result of its very high density.  To say it sinks like a rock is actually an understatement because it's many times more dense than rock.

Yes. :)  Pyrite has a different color, luster, streak, and density than gold.  I've actually yet to find any pyrite in my pan -- usually what I get is a heck of a lot of black sand (mostly magnetite), flakes of mica, quartz grains, some tiny garnets, and occasionally some black but lustrous and non-magnetic material I have yet to identify; I think it's galena.

Gold is actually really easy to identify once you get the hang of panning; not just by the color but also it's behavior in water is totally different from everything else as a result of its very high density.  To say it sinks like a rock is actually an understatement because it's many times more dense than rock.

Send picture of unidentified substance. I shall take the time to sift through my book and see if I can come up with theories as to what it is
I'm bored, give me something to do dammit

I had gotten interested in panning after regularly seeing some folks panning on a stream I like to hike along and wondered if they were getting any gold out of it.  So one day I decided to walk up and talk with one of the old timers there.  So glad I did, too, he seemed to love the attention.  Sat with him for hours as he panned, taught me the basics, and recounted some awesome stories over some beers.  One of the coolest guys I've ever met.

But yeah, I had figured they were only doing it as a hobby and I was right -- around here there just isn't enough to find.  If someone was thinking of doing it for profit then I'd suggest they try something else, because unless you're extremely lucky, in a very high producing area, or going all-in with equipment (dredging or metal-detecting), then you're probably making less than minimum wage despite putting in a lot more effort, and **** that.  For me it's about spending time outdoors, learning a bit about geology, collecting native minerals, and if I do get gold it is a nice bonus. :)

@deathfun:  Here ya go. (http://i.imgur.com/YBJYg.jpg)  It is non-magnetic, dark grey with metallic luster, and has a specific gravity of at least 4 g/cc.  So I'm pretty sure it's galena but maybe I'll crush a piece for a streak test to be sure.

Sure as heck looks like [impure] galena to me.  It's pretty common in the area I grew up (https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=49.14219,-117.818298&num=1&t=m&z=8), along with pyrite, quartz, gold, and various other minerals.

Alas, I can't seem to locate my book... this disappoints me highly

Also, learned something rather ironic. After a night of drinking (which was awesome), I sleep less than I would had I not been drinking
By 60%


Highlights from yesterday were four of us discussing whether or not someone was a virgin, or was not. It was a running joke we had for the entire night (the gal was also constantly repeating "He's not a virgin" to which I respond "Who are you trying to convince, us or yourself?". Later, when we were joined by a few others, my introduction was met with distaste. How so?
"Evening, name's Andrew"
"I don't like you already"
"D:"

I don't even know what I did. She was a lesbian anyway.

Had one beer too many (literally) unfortunately and passed out on my bus. Good thing as it made the trip seem so much shorter. Bad thing because I passed out. That's alright though, I had Good Guy bus driver that night. He allowed me to regain my senses as he waited with the doors open for me to disembark.

Today was a good day.  Saw Zero Dark Thirty in the early afternoon while waiting for friends to arrive.  Powerful movie, that is.  Friends got here (both female, incidentally.  Not like it makes a difference) and had dinner at a good restaurant and shopped around at the mall for a few hours, before going to watch Les Misérables.  Watching both of them in the same day is a rather striking case of tonal and language whiplash.  Then friends departed back for home.

All in all, a good day to spend my last Saturday before leaving. :)

I haven't seen the stage version [yet], so I have no frame of reference other than other musicals I've seen, and I disagree with your friend.  I thought it was quite good, if somewhat overhyped.  The music was certainly better in the Phantom of the Opera film (by virtue of the fact that the cast members were in general better singers), but the level of emotion brought into the live singing in this film was excellent.

Sung-through musicals are an admittedly harder to criticize beast, if only because the way it's done is rather polarizing with regards to who likes it or not.

The beginning of it irked me, by the middle I was indifferent, and by the end it was interesting.  The sung-through quality of it, that is.  I thoroughly enjoyed the whole movie.

My main problem with it was Cosette. She was so one-dimensional and was more of a plot device than a character.
Also, I'm sorry, but I do not buy "love at first sight". Period.

Other than that, I liked it, actually. The moral conflict between Valjean and Javert was more engaging than I'd expected. Music was pretty good too.

Hm... That reminds me of a question I was pondering, and might as well ask on teh interwebz for expert opinion:

Is there a chemical/physiological/neurological difference between "love" and infatuation? Or arousal and infatuation?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Post by: headdie on January 13, 2013, 02:12:51 pm
I'm no expert but my experience in simple terms is

love is a feeling of attachment to someone or something
arousal is a feeling of desire for someone or something
Infatuation is a focus on someone or something to the detriment of everything else

edit
Love and/or arousal can become Infatuation and a small degree of infatuation is common early into relationships but often subsides after a while.  Long term fixation on the other hand is a problem

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Post by: headdie on January 13, 2013, 05:23:58 pm
It certainly can be thought of like that, most crushes probably fall at the lower end of infatuation in that the object of the infatuation dominates your thoughts and interfere with day to day life but usually in a minor way (often the biggest issue is annoying mates with your constant babbling about your crush, decline in your productivity and small but noticeable changes in your demeanour) though in extreme cases can certainly reach full blow debilitating infatuation.

Have had an awesome week. Got a brand new job (pay bump, title bump, responsibility bump, and a massive interesting-ness bump), and just spent the last few days on rottnest with the new GF (Rotto, for non West Aussies, is like... well, a non-resort holiday island - all very low budget and casual, but with the kind of beaches that make other parts of the world super jealous - google image search it) where I caught only the second fish of my entire life. Next few days is Chrissy, Boxing day and New Years. Liking life at the moment.
I know it's really old, but I'm catching up with WHIYL so bear with me. Here goes:

First time I read this, I thought Rotto was your girlfriend and you were making innuendos about her. "Non-resort holiday island" but "low budget and casual" and "all kinds of beaches that make other parts of the world super jealous", catching the second "fish". Forgive me for not being Australian.

Not particularly sad about the conclusion of it all. She's got things that need to be taken care of, and the less distractions the better. I understand this more than most people

My power went out at 5:00pm yesterday.  Icy tree limbs fell across the lines, bringing them down and blowing out a transformer.  KUB came by, dropped off a new transformer, left the downed power lines draped across the road, and buggered off for the night.  Apparently my apartment complex is too small to warrant KUB paying their utility workers overtime to restore service or concern themselves with the safety of passing pedestrians and motorists.

So excited!  After a more than 1.5 year hiatus, I'm once again working on POF import/export scripts for Blender (for 2.5/2.6, this time).  After two weeks of debugging and rewriting, I finally have a functional BSP tree generator modeled after the code in PCS2, with some adjustments.

Much awesomeness, might be worth you starting a thread in the FS2 Open Tools board to get support with testing and stuff

Will once I get the basic Blender addons written.  Right now all I've got is the Python library with all the functions for handling POF files (and VP files!) and a couple test scripts to make sure what gets input and what gets output are essentially the same.  ("Essentially" being the operative word here.  Suffice it to say, the import/export scripts should eliminate the need for Collada support, but won't entirely eliminate the need for PCS2.  Not immediately, anyway.  I can provide details if anyone's interested.)

Recent happenings.
- Bought a new HD TV, which I have yet to even use. Didn't have a TV for years, now I can't get used to the fact that I have to watch what TV-stations decide to air. So annoying.
- Bought Nokia Lumia 920. Nice phone. Replaces my old HTC Desire Z. Quite happy with the new phone so far.
- Replaced old ADSL with brand new 4G LTE mobile broadband.

MY DEAR SIR I BELIEVE WHAT YOU COULD DO IS POSSIBLY FIND SOME ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF PLAYING VIDEOS, SUCH AS A PERSONAL COMPUTER OR DVD PLAYER, AND THEN USE YOUR NEWLY PURCHASED TELEVISION AS THE DISPLAY FOR THESE DEVICES. BY DOING SO YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT, AND NO LONGER BE BOUND BY THE SCHEDULES OF TV PROVIDERS. OF COURSE BY DOING SO, YOU MAY THEN BE UNABLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SAID SCHEDULES, BUT SUCH IS LIFE.

If you sing that winter song, does the temperature get 20% cooler? :P I had to.

I have taken the resolutions to:
 -Get at least 1/5th thinner.
 -Finish a goddamn a space craft model.
 -Finish my Space Story.
 -Getting an Audio recorder and learn to make SFX.
 -And doing a least 1 CGI cutscene.

All of dhis, Ic most akomblish witheen dhis haf o' de jear.

The 12-ish inches of snow that have been laying around for a month are finally starting to melt.  Bringing home the southern birds / A pegasus' job begins / And clearing all the gloomy skies / To let the sun shine in. / We move the clouds and we melt the white snow / When the sun comes up, its warmth and beauty will glow!

Last I checked, eating or drinking in libraries is generally verboten.

Based on the size of the library's collection and how many recent books they're able to buy, I'd say they're not exactly cash-strapped.

I feel like the library probably has better uses of their resources than entrapping people. Doesn't strike me as a plausible explanation.

Yeah, but that's different. The cafe area is clearly separate from the rest of the store, and I think it's understood that you can't take food or drink from the cafe area to the store area. I don't spend much time in bookstore cafes though, so I wouldn't really know.

Hm, now that you mention it, that sounds right, so I dunno. :doubt:

I'm pretty sure the main reason libraries generally prohibit eating/drinking in the library is to avoid attracting insects, so it seems strange that they're actively promoting it. Maybe they're just using lots of insecticide? :confused:

pleasantly surprised with my cheap chinese knockoff laptop battery.  it works, fits well, and the laptop is not throwing any angry messages about non-genuine parts.  also didn't take a month to get here, arrived one day after the flash drive i ordered at the same time that didn't come from overseas.

and now that i know to take the battery out when using AC power for a decent length of time, this one should last a while.  probably longer than the laptop itself being almost 7 years old.

Today I saw one of my cousins for the 5th time ever, and my aunt for the 3rd time ever. Considering that I don't like her, I'd call that a favorable result. As for my cousin....Meh. I already have friends.

Fixed boxes jittering by making the threshold for "inward velocity" effectively negative... so unless the outward velocity is sufficient, there will sort of be an adhesion force that keeps objects from separating.

But it didn't fix the player sinking into boxes, so I guess that was a separate issue. Bleh.



Also I have a cold. Have had a cold for a couple of days now. Because mom brought it home like a week ago. Dammit mom :mad:

Just re-discovered Motherload (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/motherload).  Ah, memories. 

On a semi-related note, their copy protection for the premium version (Motherload Goldium) of the game is a joke.  Goldium is still a flash game, but has an installer and is distributed as an exe.  The exe itself pretty much just contains the copy protection stuff, while the game itself is its own executable, started by the copy protection exe and stored with the extension .dat.  A simple rename to .exe is all it takes to circumvent.  Which is good, because the web store that sells Motherload Goldium doesn't carry it anymore, and XGen Studios hasn't put up another link.

With only 600GB left on my 2TB HDD, it was time to dwindle it down to 20% of what it was
I also cleaned up my mass collection of isos other things that were laying around

Awww ****, are you talkin' 'bout Xgen games?  Maaaan, I used to play the **** out of those back in the day.  Motherload was ****ing addictive as hell.  Get's hard as **** after you've killed Satan a few times.  I played a lot a Stick Arena as well, before it got filled with little ****s anyway.  ****ing script kiddies.  I was so good at that **** I could grab a glock, use a corner and kill any mofo from across the room.  Or I could grab a sledge and sqwoosh several dudes with one swing.  Good times.  And then there's the crowining jewel of Defend Your ****.   First you're tossin' the little dudes like ragdolls with the most satisfying splat, then you're snipin' 'em with arrows, then converting them into your own pile of mana-making dudes so you can magically nuke the **** out of other little dudes and the occasional big dude.  ****ing brilliant.  =)

Well the reviews that I'm doing for that website I mentioned earlier were met with some... disagreement
I asked if I was doing reviews on the basis of what the games look like today, in 2013... because they're being written in 2013
I was told "Yes, compare graphics and whatnot to now and other things"

So I did that

I was then told not to do that when I gave CoD4 a 4/10 (now 6/10 because well, I've been told to make the change)
Reasoning? Gameplay was simple, run and gun. It varied little throughout singleplayer, except for one occasion. Campaign was great in the sense of events that happen (and the Chernobyl level was awesome), but short. The story was okay, but generic. Graphics on a now basis leave them looking terrible, but I did mention what they were back in the day (which were pretty good). Multiplayer was something else, smooth, easy to get in and out, and that was great. It just didn't explore anything new

Replayability was also zero

Don't tell me to do one thing, only to say "bad" and tell me to do the other thing

Also, don't tell me to send you the reviews so you can look at them, and just don't read them and say "it's good". A great deal of things could be fixed IF YOU JUST READ IT

****. I do people a favour and work all the templates out, only to have the one I discussed it all with say I did wrong

Who the hell are you writing for?
1) You're the reviewer; it's your review.  They shouldn't have the right to tell you "No, your review is wrong" unless you fail to back up your opinions because they're your opinions.
2) Controversy breeds pageviews.  If they want their site to be popular, they can't be afraid of hurting the feelings of a few fanboys.  At the very least, the fanboys will rush to the site to defend their precious game in the comments.

www.nukedpixels.com

The site lacked content, so I offered to write 60 reviews for them. I don't mind being told there's some edits that need to be done, but when the reasoning is because he doesn't agree with it because back in the day it was awesome (which he told me "Don't rate it high simply because back in the day it was awesome". If I did, RSV would be 90)

Hypocrisy at it's finest. I'm not getting paid to do this, so honestly I don't give two ****s. I'm trying to be as objective as possible
He mentions that I'm being too objective...

Went to see the Oscar-nominated animated shorts, which were entertaining. First movie (or movies I guess) I've seen in quite a while. Haven't decided whether to see the live-action shorts.

Then I made hot cocoa from Askinosie Cocoa Powder (https://www.askinosie.com/p-92-natural-cocoa-powder-davao-philippines.aspx) (interesting article about the company (http://www.askinosie.com/flash/articles/kcstar/kcstar.htm); the founder was originally a criminal defense lawyer). The cocoa was really good, although the two tablespoons of sugar might have had something to do with that (hey, I was just following the recipe). Since the factory is roughly within day-trip distance, maybe I'll take a tour sometime.

This is an annoying problem, as I used the same headset on a laptop that used the same system and the same drivers, yet my headset isn't picked up when I plug it into the front of my comp. I'm using Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit.

I'm asking this because I've been unable to find any troubleshooting information for the Audio .335. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: Apparently, I need a soundcard. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUU~

About a month ago I discovered a female acquaintance from high school (a different one!) had created a Facebook account. I tried to message her, but didn't feel like paying the $1 thing Facebook recently added.

Brain taken over by hormones --> decided to pay the $1 yesterday. Saw this afternoon that it says "Seen 11:10 pm" (yesterday) next to that message, but still no reply. Le sigh  :blah:

They made this stupid new thing where if you message someone who isn't on your friends list, it will go to their "other" box instead of their inbox, unless you pay a dollar. If they reply to it or manually move it to their "inbox" inbox, it will do the same for subsequent messages from that person, and apparently it works retroactively... but it's still stupid.

They claim it's to prevent spam, but that's bull****. It's obviously just a scheme to make more money.

I don't really see it as a huge deal.  If I want to send a legitimate message to someone, chances are they're someone who would accept a friend request.  Plus I think you can attach a short blurb to friend requests anyway, in case you're concerned about the person not knowing who you are.

social networking is so ridiculously creepy. it is analogous to voyeurism/exhibitionism. everyone is wanking in public, trying to insist that their member is the largest and they have great mastery over its operation. everyone is trying to get everyone to look at their dick (metaphorically speaking, of course), all while everyone is trying to look at as many dicks as possible. what is even more disturbing is that society frowns upon you if you do not partake in the dickfest.

Well I plan on working in primary/elementary schools so due to England being a Nanny state, I need to be trained and have a bit of paper saying that I'm certified to work in a classroom. And also due to most of the teachers in my area being overworked and underpaid, I'm most likely going to be solely responsible for whichever class i get put with.

turns out my avr programmer doesnt produce as much voltage as i thought it did. i thought it, being a usb device, output the usb 5v wire directly. instead it seems to drop the voltage to about 2.8 and outputs that. my mcu, being clocked at 12 mhz, is just completely in a brown out state and thats why it refuses to accept and run code. its now running the blink program, though abit slower than i expect. next step is to figure out how to use this vusb library.

I'm exploring ways to get the music out of this game (http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Overkill.html) again. I did it a few years back in DOSBox by recording MIDI while playing the game, but it didn't record every track completely.

You could always use a loopback cable.  Plug one end into your speaker jack and the other end into your microphone jack.  Record whatever you want.

On a completely unrelated note, I have the feeling that I should randomly shout "AAAAHHHH!!! TWILIGHT'S AN ALICORN PRINCESS!!!"  After thinking it through, I probably shouldn't, but I just did anyway.  After sticking with the character for three seasons, I am so proud of what she's accomplished.  I think the writers can make good use of this if The Company will let them.

i prefer an os that stays the **** out of my way. unfortunately all operating systems are evolving towards being in your way as much as possible. i have a feeling i will have no choice but to turn to linux to maintain my sanity. ive yet to find the patience (and time) neccisary to be able to get a linux system up and running to resemble something i would feel comfortable using all the time. doing battle with the terminal trying to get all the drivers you need for all the stuff in your box installed, configureing the os to my likings, installing desired programs and getting rid of stuff i never use (things that take me a half hour on windows and month and a half on linux). im sure i could do it if i had to. other than that my only hope is that reactos hits beta before win7 service life ends.

Installed a Core 2 Duo (T5300) into my Acer Aspire 3680. Still running it on a 32-bit OS, but that'll be resolved later.

Somewhat concerned to see that PC Wizard saying that the temp inside both cores is around 60C, while the HDD and another temp sensor somewhere is at 50C. I don't know if this is an indication that I botched the thermal paste application or not just yet.

But, since it's literally a few minutes after the install, I don't know if it just means that I need time for the thermal paste to settle itself correctly.

It was for me, too.  I still only worked my regular eight-hour shifts, but Presidents' Day weekend in a hotel/casino is crazy.  Multiple medical emergencies, domestic disturbances, and even a couple rooms accidentally double-rented.  Drunk guests complaining galore. 

"I've been coming here for five years and this is never happened to me before--you have to give me a room!"  "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm sold out."  "That's bull****!  I want to talk to the manager."  "It's 3am--the manager isn't here.  You'll have to talk to me."

EDIT: Oh, this just made everything better. :) I called a guest who was on our waiting list for a room tonight.  She didn't answer and I got this five-year-old kid instead: "Hi, this is ****, ****'s son.  She can't come to the phone right now because she's too busy being AWESOME.  Leave a message after the beep.  Peace out!"

eh, just use Leibniz. The problem with this integral is there's two main ways of approaching it, with and without a change of co-ordinate systems, if you change it to spherical polar you get these horrific cos2n and sin2n terms, doing it straight and you get some ugly limits which are a pain to integrate.

i too had a number of repair shenanigans today. my mom who grows ever senile has developed a tendency towards mouse throwing. after she threw my last working mouse (a bluetooth laptop mouse that i liked a lot) she went all emo about not being able to play her ****ty browser games. so i decided id go to my lair on the pretense of fixing mice, just to get away from that psycho. i then rummaged through my boxes of broke junk i save for salvage and found about 4 old ps2 mice that didnt work and one optical usb mouse that had some broken clickers. after cracking open 3 of the dead ps2 mice i found one that had the same kind of click switches. i then transplanted the buttons into the pointing but not clicking usb mouse. so i took it down stairs pluged it into moms computer, yelled some obscenities, and went back up to clean up all the flecks of solder (i use lead you pbfree ****ers) strewn about my work bench.

while i was in a fix happy mood i decided to try and repair my old laser mouse that didnt hold a charge and didnt have a working right clicker (logitech needs to stop ****ing sourcing parts from china). now if there was ever a mouse they didnt want you to try to fix this was it. after removing the 4 screws needed to get the case off and disconnecting a couple wires i exposed the gooey goodness inside. the first job was to fix that dead battery. fortunately for me it was a 3.7v single cell lithum battery. i had to cut it out of its case which was ultrasonically welded in a plastic case, in the process i sliced a huge gash in my left middle finger, so i cauterized the wound with my soldering iron and continued working. i had a smaller but in better condition cell phone battery (which i salvaged from a phone someone chucked out of their car window while i was at a bus stop in juneau, free parts!) i desoldered the saftey circuitry from the old battery and attatched it to the new one, not because i dont want the mouse to melt while charging but because i wasnt sure if it would charge without it. using electrical tape and bits of the plastic casing i made a new casing for it.

next issue was a bit more involved. the pcb was a two board sandwich soldered together by a header. apparently the mouse was assembled by dropping the main board into the bottom of the case, then soldering the recharge contacts, bolting it down, and then installing and soldering the daughterboard that had the buttons i needed to swap. of course that last step meant that one of the screws that held the main board in place was in a place where it couldn't be removed. no problem, i took my dremel and from the underside drilled up under where the screw was and broke off the post (i can epoxy it later when i have epoxy), i still had to knife up the traces of the charging contacts, which was melted to the case, board comes out.

unfortunately the ****ing ****pickle engineer who designed this mouse really didnt want unqualified personnel to enter and fix the mouse. i wasnt about to desolder a 2x7 double row of headers and the angle was too funky to get my solder vacuum in there. i ended up using the heat and pull method. literally melting the switch and then removing the metal bits a piece at a time. the replacement was removed from the 3rd pcb that held the side buttons (this mouse has 4 circuit boards in it if you dont count the smd bluetooth module, damn!), i then took another button from another mouse so i could have my side button back, i didnt trust this button to be a main clicky button and wanted one i knew worked, given the difficulty neccisary to remove it. yay everything fixed just needed to put it back together. after the first attempt my clicky button wasnt clicking, aparently the switch wasnt tight aginst the psb, i just zapped it with the iron pushed it in and let it cool. second time was the charm and i now have a working lazor mouse. yay! after that i called it quits, came down and decided to type a post about it. no user serviceable parts my ass.

Ubuntu, varying between 12.04 and 12.10 depending on which troubleshooting method I'm attempting.  I've reinstalled the damn OS at least four times as a result.  The whole thing seems to be a perfect storm of AMD ****ing over earlier Radeon owners with their "legacy" drivers (seriously my 4670 isn't all that old in the grand scheme of things), and some abject refusal of the OS itself to properly detect my video card and/or install drivers and/or not send me into package hell.  I wish it knew what you did about not needing to use the terminal, because I've already typed more sudos than I'd like to in a lifetime.

And I can't be the only person who feels like having to enter commands into a text prompt is better suited for the year 1993 than 2013.  I could do all this **** so much faster if everything had a nice GUI, instead of having to throw apt-get commands all over the place.

Well, there's your problem.  If you don't feel like taking the effort to get it working (and I wouldn't blame you--AMD/ATI has been a pain in Linux users' collective ass for years), hold off on Linux until either AMD gives us proper drivers or you get an nVidia card.

No, you're not the only one who feels that way.  GUIs are better for displaying data that needs to be searched through by human eyes (e.g. if you're searching for a package), but CLIs are faster when you already know what you need, especially if you can type fast.  And, contrary to what everyone tells you about being safe, if you do know what you're doing and you're the only one using the computer anyway, you can save a lot of time by logging in as root ("sudo su") so that you don't have to type "sudo" before everything.

I'd gladly hold off on all this for a while, but if I want to get that little penguin for TF2, I have to at least fire up the game on Linux before the end of the month, so that's what I'm shooting for.  (Hats, what can you do. :p) Thanks for the Synaptic link though; I'll take a look at that.

Edit: And just like that, I finally have the Catalyst drivers up and running.  It's only thanks to some awesome person out there who created a custom package to enable the Catalyst legacy drivers in Ubuntu 12.10.  The drivers released by AMD only work up to some certain kernel value and X-org version, but 12.10 is newer in both regards, so they break by default.  (Theoretically they should work in 12.04, but it seemed like my kernel was already upgraded.)  This person wrote a package that downgrades X-org to the correct version, and tweaked the drivers to make them compatible with the latest kernel, so apparently it's all good now.

...dear lord I'm already starting to talk like them. :lol:

i kind of feel the same way. im one of the few people i know who read the complete ibm dos manual back in the day. so i know all the dos commands, which by a strange coincidence are the same commands more or less than the modern windows command line. dispite my proficiency in those commands i still prefer to use the gui. the only time i use the command line is when i need to do something really advanced, things i only need to do once in a blue moon.

linux users cant seem to get away from the terminal, even after many years of development. its actually a lot like the 9x line of windows. starting with a command line interface and sticking a gui into it, eventually refining it. but its roots are still firmly seated in the cli paradigm (which windows departed with the nt line). linux needs to pull the same move to really get out of the terminal. linux does seem to be improving though, but its still a huge time sink when compared to windows.

Nope.  With most modern distros, as long as your hardware works out of the box (which is most of it, except for AMD video chipsets and some audio cards EDIT: Oh, and most HP laptops I've used), you'll probably never have to touch the terminal unless you start tinkering.  Even then, there are GUI frontends for almost everything.

Nope.  Mac OS X was able to create an arguably more refined GUI experience than Windows ever has without pulling away from the CLI paradigm (OS X is fully POSIX-compliant).

Yep.

Nope.  Just a different interface.  Whether or not it's a time sink depends on how much experience you have with it.  I'll grant you that CLIs generally have a steeper learning curve than GUIs, though.

Eh, GUIs have the benefit of being easier to learn if you've had no prior experience with them. But I think if you're experienced with both there's not much of a difference at all in usability, it's just that CLI tools have the benefit of being very script friendly. That's something that I don't think I've ever really seen GUI tools accomplish very well at all, and I find it to be a massive time saver.

E2: Granted there are exceptions, obviously. "gdb -tui ./progname" will just never be anywhere as good as any half decent graphical debugger (though admittedly I never really liked ddd enough to use it over plain ol gdb)

I'm dual core nao! :D

Installed a Core 2 Duo (T5300) into my Acer Aspire 3680. Still running it on a 32-bit OS, but that'll be resolved later.

Somewhat concerned to see that PC Wizard saying that the temp inside both cores is around 60C, while the HDD and another temp sensor somewhere is at 50C. I don't know if this is an indication that I botched the thermal paste application or not just yet.

But, since it's literally a few minutes after the install, I don't know if it just means that I need time for the thermal paste to settle itself correctly.

Did those temps come down?  C2Ds should generally not be running anywhere near that hot unless under major load.

It's down to about 46 to 48 C when idle now. The heatsink for the integrated graphics shares the same heat pipe as does the CPU, so that might have something to do with it. Also, I got the chip for $9.99, so I'm guessing somebody tried overclocking it at one point and ended up burning it out a tiny bit...

My friend and I were playing Colonial Marines the other week on xbox, with his youtube favorites playing on his computer. It was during the opening cutscene that I noticed that Hicks' head and mouth movements coincided with the first song that was playing.
This was the result of the combination of a bad game and a mixture of energy drinks and junk food (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JveB22_lKP0).

Wait...We can do that?! I thought there was some sort of cosmic law that stated that only women have such dark arts.
Anyways, just sort of drop hints that you're not intrested or are already in a relationship. That or guide her gently into the friendzone if she's alright to hang with.

Or you could pull a 'Dekker'.

Ahh, that's tough, man. I've been there. I think the best thing to do is just sit down and be both honest and very flattering.

I was never single in college and I had to perfect the art of converting suitors into friends. A lot of my closest comrades are women who were into me. It's definitely possible to make it work!

Shall do man! I dunno, she is actually a really, really great girl. But I've got to be straight with you guys, I'm not a fussy guy when it comes to looks, I've dated short girls, tall girls, skinny girls, bigger girls, but I'm just not attracted to this girl. She's a very bright young lady (she was the only person from her high school to get into the College that I'm at, which has the highest exam cut-offs in the state), and to be honest another guy might find her attractive, but I just...don't, and I don't think I could ever give a girl whom I don't have at least initial physical attraction to the effort the involuntary treatment that she'd deserve.

I wanted to speak to her today and be blunt about it, since I can't make like I'm in a relationship with someone else to her Firespawn, mate, because she has me on Facebook for one. :P And two, it would be an incredibly painful move for me to enter a relationship with another girl (which I *could* do, but I don't particularly adore any of the girls I could do that with at this moment) to her.

It'd look like too much of a betrayal to me for me to stick her into some kind of 'friendzone' (which I'm not a huge believer in anyway). I'll sit her down and tell her how great she is, and that given the way our friendship is going, I think it's prudent to make it known that I'm not interested in a relationship with her. I'd feel rather bad doing it, horrible, in fact, but it'll save her some hurt in the long run.

Just had another tough conversation with another female friend who was into me before tonight. After we agreed that we wanted different things, she's always expected a little more friendship from me than I've given, and in her circumstances, she really needs it. I'm a dick and I have no one to blame but myself. I'd like to chat and fix things when she's up.

I also made the mistake of not sitting out the latest issue with my sister. Way to ruin a night.

Then I burst out laughing

I'm a bad person. It's like I wanted to laugh but some moral strain said "No" but then bam, that happened


I know little about these sorts of things, but I do know that it's early. Give it some time. She most likely just needs to get over the initial shock of the situation

The occupation episodes have some good content but the overall direction of the Toasters and the regrettable degradation in CGI quality would makes me want to side with MP.

I guess my extra 22 days off this year are now official.  Too bad they are unpaid.  And I can't take them all at once.

I can easily absorb the pay cut, but not all of my coworkers can.  Although I must say that it's been difficult to muster too much sympathy for the one of them who keeps making condescending remarks about the fact that I save money and he "can't," when he goes and blows forkloads of money at bars all the damn time and just bought a new car.

Not permission, couple months after the paperwork is sent into the Government before they process the license request and purchase. After I get that wonderful gun license, I can purchase whatever whenever (non-restricted anyhow, restricted firearms require more paperwork). Also Canada

Anything below 800$. Realistically, if I can get something with not too much difference in quality for cheaper, I'll most likely take the less expensive.

Post by: SpardaSon21 on March 04, 2013, 03:31:41 pm
So it is a general firearms license then for all non-restricted weapons, presumably including your average handgun.  Still can't believe it takes a couple months for them to do all the paperwork, though.

What will you be doing with it?  Target shooting, hunting, mounting it on your wall (please not this one)?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Post by: deathfun on March 04, 2013, 04:07:10 pm
Non-restricted and restricted license.
Non-restricted is basically anything with a barrel length of 18.5 inches that isn't covered in the prohibited list. Restricted is anything with a barrel length shorter than that
Reason for two months is general bureaucracy crap. It gets sent to the other side of the country, taken a look at, sent back to where I live, taken a look at, then sent BACK to the other side of the country. It's a Federal system though, which explains it. The other benefit to guns being everything Federal is that the regulations do NOT vary from Province to Province


As for what I intend for it, target shooting and hunting.

Post by: SpardaSon21 on March 04, 2013, 04:36:18 pm
So damn, two months before you can buy a rifle and even more time and paperwork for a pistol?  Jesus, not even California, America's land of firearms restrictions, is that bad.  You take a 10 minute multiple choice exam about handgun safety right at the counter and then wait I think 15 days before you can pick it up, and then you just need to show the guy at the counter you know how to safely load and unload your handgun.

And now, well, what's your intended game?  Deer, elk?  Personally, I'd go for something chambered in .30-06 as that round is very effective at most ranges and hits hard enough to take down elk while not overkilling against deer.  It doesn't work so well at longer ranges as a .308 or one of the many rounds around 7mm/.280, but the increased velocity at shorter ranges will give you the extra oomph you need to help make that shot a kill shot.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
Post by: deathfun on March 04, 2013, 05:15:09 pm
No no, not two months before buying a rifle. Two months until I get my license so I can buy a rifle or thirty (dem Russian SKSs are cheap)
Once I get that, I can go gun happy on rifles. Handguns need to be registered and have an ATT (Authorization to Transport) to go with it

Intended game would most likely be deer. Not anytime soon though, later down in my life. It'd just be handy to have a rifle that can do that which will stick by me for years on end

Oh no, I figured once you had your license you'd be able to buy however many you wanted.  Just seems crazy to me there's two months of useless bureaucracy where they mail paperwork back and forth.  Also your handgun laws are in this American's opinion ridiculous. :P

Suongadon: I too recommend the Remington 700 as that's what I have and I love it, but in .30-06 because I figure if he ever wanted to move to elk after deer he wouldn't need to buy a whole new rifle.  I just hope he doesn't buy one with a gorgeous lacquered maple stock like mine since there's no way I'd ever take this out to a muddy, dirty forest. :P

Post by: Suongadon on March 04, 2013, 07:21:55 pm
A 165 grain .308 is plenty for elk up to 100 yards IMO, and if a game shot is longer than that, it shouldn't be taken. Plus .30-06 rounds cost more, and barrel wear is about half again as much as a .308.

...I had to, sorry :p. In the end I think its basically down to personal preference. Best bet is to see if you (fundeath) can shoot some rounds through the models of whatever you are ultimately deciding between at a range or some weird redneck's back porch and buy the one you like best.

Post by: SpardaSon21 on March 04, 2013, 07:46:47 pm
I live in the Southern California suburbs.  There are no deer around here and my back porch points directly at... other houses.  Well, once you get past the cinder block wall and the cement drainage ditch.  Fortunately there's a giant desert a few several hours away by car where you and some friends can set up camp and start shooting off your rifles you can't shoot anywhere else and there's nobody around to call the police to report gunshots, most likely because everyone who lives in the towns are already out there in the desert with you, only they're possibly drunk and definitely shooting up propane tanks because there's literally nothing else to do in the middle of the Mojave Desert besides drink beer and blow stuff up.

If you think a .308 will work fine, I'll defer to you since you clearly know more than I do.  I've never actually gone hunting so all my knowledge comes from guesswork and firearms magazines. :P  .30-06 would be my preference though since I really do like overkill as opposed to underkill, however unlikely.  The cost around here for .30-06 is only a few bucks higher compared to .30-30 (family's other .30 rifle and yes it is old), but .308 may be significantly cheaper due to higher supply since you can always fire surplus 7.62mm NATO in a .308 rifle.

Found out that if you have limited space that won't fit a good desk, a 14" to 16" deep shelf at an appropriate height can work just as well for laptops (and at a low low price of about $20, excluding cost of tools). Just be sure that the edge you'll be resting your arms on is a nice round one, such as a 1/2" round bevel.

Desktop users can possibly also use this trick, if they have a slim monitor (such as an LCD) mounted on the wall directly in front of the keyboard.

i finally found something to splurge/blow money on, and that is rocksmith DLC.  just spent $30, and that's only a pretty small piece of the current selection that i want to get eventually.

Got the xbox version of Carrier Command yesterday. Besides a mildly annoying unit AI that needs you to hold its hand most times, and a movement system that seems to have never heard of the words 'Variable' and 'Stop', it's not terrible.
Worth £10, secondhand?...Eh it's a fair price , give or take a couple of quid.

Always had issues running Linux on HP laptops before, so I didn't even bother trying when I got this laptop a year ago.  Finally took the plunge last night and, well, no plunge needed.  Installed Ubuntu 12.10 using Wubi.  Took me three seconds to download Wubi and put in my desired username and password, then Wubi took care of the rest of the downloading and installing on its own while I was away at work.  When I got home I restarted into Ubuntu, and it runs beautifully.  Easiest OS install I've ever done.  Even easier than the initial set up (with Windows already installed) after I got the laptop.

Tried making the most benign and simple purchase with what was left on my prepaid credit card
There's trinkets on it. Literally, hardly anything noteworthy

And yet, now for some ungodly reason, I cannot for the life of me spend these trinkets on a Humble Bundle purchase because my prepaid has been canceled due to an error of TWO CENTS

TWO CENTS
TWO ****ING CENTS BECAUSE PAYPAL DOESN'T KNOW THE CURRENT CAD TO USD RATE. I CALCULATED IT SO 100% OF MY MONEY WOULD BE USED.
Now they're trying to get 1$ out of me but can't because the bank is all "nope"

This is why I like cash. You can never go wrong with cash

I also finished another review. That was fun
And a friend of mine is trying to get into the mobile gaming sector with this MMO idea of his. I'm helping him work out the kinks since his original approach was "CRAM ALL THE IDEAS!" and my response was "Simplicity myte. This just isn't doable"
Then again, none of it's doable because there's no one to code the thing

Also, late to the firearms party, but I'd be surprised if your PAL takes that long to show up.  When I got mine I think it took maybe 3 or 4 weeks after I submitted the paperwork (and mine's for restricted and non).

If all you want is a target shooting rifle. buy something chambered for .22 or .22LR.  It's cheap, plentiful, and a minumum of hassle.  Also more than sufficient for small game.

Deer hunting, or anything larger, just buy a modern .308 and be done with it.  Don't buy a collector's item for hunting and target shooting, it will just annoy you and it's better sitting on a shelf than being used an abused anyway.

I sprained my ankle at soccer today, which hurt a bit, and then subsequently took up the rest of my night with going to an after-hours clinic to get myself sorted out. I then stretched the truth a tiny bit in an email to my tutor for politics and said that I needed bed rest for a day before I could hobble to college. In reality I haven't finished my tute prep thanks to losing 4 hours of my night, but it'd be pretty damn painful to go in tomorrow anyway! :P

Well, there were plenty of moments like that in the book, so it's only staying faithful to the source material. :)


On that note, if anyone's wondering, the movie is very, very faithful to the book. All they cut out was one sequence where Pi goes temporarily blind from starvation near the end, but I can understand how that wouldn't work so well in a movie format.

Also a lot of Pi's hilarious argument with the Japanese guys, but that would have dragged on too much.

i hate websites that enforce password complexity. like absolutely requiring a number or a symbol or a capitol letter somewhere. it essentially forces you to use a smaller cross section of possible password formats. though i can understand how the four word format would be susceptible to a dictionary attack (though it would take numberOfEntries^4 attempts to find out).

things like two factor kinda scare me though. kinda sets you up for a cascade failure in security, where a security breach in one thing leads to a security breech in several other things. a pilfered cell phone or a hacked social networking account can lead to something bad like your bank acount getting hacked and drained.

i do my best to keep my "important stuff" passwords and the "****ing everything requires a registered account" passwords in two separate groups, with the former generally being significantly more complex, and to the extent possible not sharing usernames either.  however, password rules have forced me to mix on more than one occasion.  Yeah yeah, "think up a new one," but my memory is bad.  I can't have a lot of passwords.  Especially with most everything limiting you to three attempts.  I'm already permanently locked out of my ISP online account until I have the patience to sit through phone support hell.

And to be honest, I'm not convinced by that cartoon.  What in the hell is a 'bit of entropy' and how on earth do they assign values to the various elements?  Using purely words seems like it's leaving the door wide open for a dictionary attack to me.  Shouldn't they be telling us to throw at least one number or symbol in there to break it from being just a string of words?

On websites that log me out for whatever reason, I generally end up fumbling around between the three in their two variations
I don't have important passwords because anything I do online I don't particularly care about.
I like to handle my money personally with tellers or ATMs

And to be honest, I'm not convinced by that cartoon.  What in the hell is a 'bit of entropy' and how on earth do they assign values to the various elements?

It's a concept from information theory, which is a really cool branch of physics.

Wrapped up three hours of Iaido and Kendo, which is always good times.  Currently stopped in at work to do an after business hours deployment to prod.  Since I've got the office to myself I have this overpowered sound system attached to my PC cranked and dropping phat beats from Muse.

It was working pretty well until I forgot the master key to the database... I thought I had written it down to a slip of paper that I keep in my wallet, but when I looked it wasn't there. I believe it's better to just stick to a *simple* pattern that relates to the account that you're using.

passwords have gotten so hard to remember that we now have to write them down. i remember when that was a derp thing to do. of course back then computers had one core and ran at a few hundred mhz, and brute forcing a password really sucked.

But no, I mean they want me to get a job, and they aren't letting me count my indie game dev stuff. And since I can't seem to find any good gamedev jobs, they want me to try non-gamedev programming jobs. And failing that, non-programming jobs. Dislike.

Aardwolf: I read recently that a good approach is to not update the game state extremely often- possibly around 30hz even if you're rendering at a better framerate- and when rendering, interpolate between game states. So if you're updating at 30hz and rendering at 60fps, you render two frames per update, but still see movement between them because they're interpolated between your most-recent game state and the previous one. (I've never implemented this but I suppose you could do this by having two stored game states and switching between them like buffers) (or three, I guess, since you're drawing from two of them and calculating a new one and can't really use the new one during rendering) (I don't really know what I'm talking about) (too many parentheses)

Just started Diaspora (yeah yeah, took me a while, mainly because I was getting into the show) and finished the third season

I disagree with what you guys said earlier about it. I can see where the comments about the Cylon direction being "uh, so what are we doing" came from, but overall they weren't really present in the season. They were a big part at first, and their intentions clear though. Did elaborate how their entire "community" operated a little better

CGI quality didn't really degrade either. Was about the same

As for it slowly descending into meh, it slowed down sure, but I was still enjoying it. Didn't make me bored in the slightest

I don't remember mine being that bad.  I only had two to take out, but I was awake during the entire operation (with local anesthetic of course).  The ice packs were a bit annoying, but they were gone before I knew it and I was eating solid food again the next day.  The most annoying part was keeping the holes clean as they healed, which took weeks.

I was put under
Basically, the two bottom teeth were pushing up against the bone at the back of my mouth. Because of that, they had to get real crafty in the removal of them (one in particular as the roots were angled, not a good thing)
Aftermath wasn't painful for me, just uncomfortable as the freezing consisted of pretty much my entire bloody face and the gauze wasn't pleasant in removal (required fresh ones)

The top two were fine. They haven't really come out as far as the bottom ones, and there was no issues with their alignment

I feel so tired, and can still taste the amalgam of rum and whiskey that I was drinking last night along with the tequilla "shots" I was doing with the others.
Still, at least I'm just sleep deprived rather than hung over.

I like the flavour of the tequilas I've had
I believe Cazadores was one of them

But then again, I'm the exception as I drink because I like the flavour of what I'm drinking. 151 tastes good if you're able to get past the burn and at this point, I can use it as mouthwash.


Last time I did tequila shots though, I ended up throwing it up. Doesn't help to have had a few pints before downing three shots of that stuff in a short period of time. First one wasn't bad, second was "Eh" and third was "Okay, bad idea". Surprisingly enough, I have unusual amount of clarity when drinking. I still maintain a firm grasp of what's going on

i nearly lost it toady after shooting some rather warm gin, after a really strong and nasty jello shot and canned margarita.  so then i just sipped on the next one and the jager that followed.  i decided it would be best to pass on the tequila this time.  but then moved on to beer pong.

i gave my raspberry pi another spin. this time the wifi worked out of the box. but i couldn't get bluetooth to work. which is odd because last time it was the bluetooth that worked and the wifi that didnt. i also managed to make the external usb hub on external power an internal hub drawing power from the same switch mode supply as the pi. it took some jumper wires soldered directly to the hub's pcb running to diy passthrough connector. so its powered and gives me a place to plug my radios and fits inside the lego case i made.

i still have a problem where i dont have any place to plug in a mouse (not that i have any non-ps2 wired mice). since bluetooth didnt work, i couldnt use my semi-functional bluetooth mice, and since my cheap chinese non bluetooth wireless mouse decided not to function. for some reason the gui didnt want to take any keyboard commands, so you couldn't do anything when the pi booted without a mouse. so it looks like i got to buy yet another thing either a wireless mouse with a mini-dongle that will fit inside the case, or a combo mouse/keyboard that draws less than 140ma. raspberry pi is still useless.

He started the 'National Australia Party', which should give everyone a clear indication of what kind of flavour bloke he is.

I don't think I want to rent that brain right now. It seems faulty.

Serious hat on now, if this is something you have been dealing with for a while, talk to someone you trust maybe, if not, go for professional help as others have stated. If it's just started today, maybe it'll pass, everyone has bad days. I've never felt that way before, or even heard of such a thing.

Though on a more relevant note, you load up the soap and use the shower head to fill the bathtub. The spray jostles the soap creating more bubbles than it would if water just came from the tap

bacon fried rice? im going to have to try that out one of these days. though really it seems like the soy sauce and the bacon would be way to salty together. i usually use equal parts soy and worcestershire sauce, with some ginger, brown sugar and cayenne pepper and garlic powder thrown in. also a lot of caramelized onions. at least thats what i do when i make pork or chicken fried rice, most try with bacon!

Better idea is to season the fried rice as opposed to adding soy sauce. The end result is significantly better
Green onions added are also a plus

i used to use green onions. only problem is the produce we get isnt quite top notch. they are fine if you use em right away, but they dont keep. so i just go without em.

i usually make a sauce with all the seasoning in it and marinate my meat in it. i fry up my onions in some olive oil and when those are about half way done i dump the sauce and meat in to cook the meat (sauce thickens up too), then i add veggies, add rice, add eggs (i usually cook these first and set em aside). its not like your typical fried rice, its a little spicy and quite delicious.

most of the work in asian cooking is prep. cook time is short, so everything has to be good to go when you need it.

Yeah, I can see how the produce up north wouldn't exactly match the quality you could get a little further down.

Interesting take on the fried rice though. Seems more like a stirfry with the rice added directly as opposed to the stirfry being put on top
My process was frying the bacon, putting the onions in (green), adding the beated eggs, then afterwards the rice + dry seasonings. Mix that all together and voila

Although, ever tried spiced olive oil? It's a bloody fantastic thing to start sauces off with

Just found out that my closest and oldest friend escaped a serious car accident on Easter Monday with only a fractured cheek, orbital socket and memory loss of the crash. I say 'Only' because two other passengers are still in hospital, whereas he is up and about.

I really don't know how I'm feeling right now. I know that my best friend is only alive now due to nothing but luck but aside from some strange feeling at the back of my mind, today is still Thursday to me. And that makes me sort of hate myself for not being more cut up about it.
One of my few true friends and I don't feel to bothered by the fact that by all intents and purposes, I should be reading his name on a stone.

laptop salvage pays off once again. last time i scrapped a laptop i salvaged the built in webcam thinking i would figure out how to talk to it one day. it was supposed to be a usb cam but the wiring was color coded all wrong and there were more wires than there should have been (6 instead of 4). upon closer inspection i realized that 2 of the wires were crimped together in the housing so it was actually 5 connections. the 5th wire was shield ground. unable to know which was which, i started looking at chips and writing down numbers. i identified one of the chips as an spi eeprom, looked up ids data sheet, and by testing continuity with each wire i was able to identify the grounds (the green one and the clear one).

that technique didnt work for the vcc, which wasnt directly connected to any of the wires. it did connect up with some kind of unmarked voltage regulator (chances are it dropped the 5v down to 3.3 as per usb spec), but without a datasheet i couldn't prove it. suspicion is useful though, so i looked at the first chip capacitor by the connector. this capacitor was likely for decoupling power from the bus, one side i tested against ground, and so i tested the other side against the other wires and found out that it was connected to the black and brown wires. :wtf: those colors are usually for ground. i tested against other capacitors (every chip usually gets one) to help confirm.

ultimately the thing that confirmed it was that the remaining wires were twisted together, you usually do that with differential pairs. their colors thew me off (they were red and orange, which are usually voltage source colors).  i still had to determine which one was d+ and which was d-. i just used trial and error here. hooled it all up to a bread board and plug it in, didnt work the first time. i flipped the data lines, tried it again and it loaded a driver. a test later proves i have a working webcam. yay!

so all thats left is to figure out how to permanently connect a usb cable to it. the wires were very thin and short, so i couldn't just connect a cable to it. i saved the small plastic housing from the laptop. it had two peg holes on either side one which the wires came out and the other was just an open hole which once held a metal peg. so that gave me an idea. the peg hole was just big enough for a usb cable, and the end of the housing was mostly empty space. so what i did was potted the cable in one side with some hot glue. i took the camera pcb out, used some soldering flux to help take it apart. stuck the cable in there with a large portion of hot glue and waited. when i pulled it apart it molded to fit the case and bonded to the cable perfectly. i solder all the wires, close it up and superglue it shot. it works just fine.

Just sewed on a button for the first time. Results are satisfactory, although there were a number of false starts, such as losing the needle :shaking: (found it, though!) and then the thread :banghead: (never found that, though, had to get more from the spool), then figuring out how many knots were needed to keep the needle from falling off while still being able to get the needle through, but hey, all's well that ends well, right?

Today I had a good long chat with my friend who was in the accident. He's fine physically and seems to be doing okay, and I no longer hate myself.

Achievement Get! : ESCAPE FROM DOWNWARD FUNK

I guess that an unusually stressful four days, plus the guilt from lacking of any real response to the crash ended up with all the negative feelings being directed inwards towards myself in a way I've not felt since school.

Tomorrow we both are going to rock Xbox 360 and catch up like we did years ago, though I did find out today that he's nailing his 'Almost' step-cousin. Anyone have any ideas on how that stands in UK law?

I would forget about emotions in your response. You don't control your emotions.

What matters is what you do, and you went to see your friend and see he was okay, so that sounds good enough to me.

Uh, define "almost". There shouldn't be a problem if there's no blood involved. But even then I'd be surprised, I don't think there's anything against cousins, but don't quote me on that. I think it would come up under incest laws if you tried googling that.

Her mum is his uncle's partner, so she's like a pseudo stepdaughter. I know that the consanguinity laws forbid direct blood relations and even relations between step siblings/children, but cousins is where the law gets fuzzied.

I got that off the wiki:

Incest is illegal in Scotland[27] England and Wales. It is defined as sexual intercourse between a person and their parent (including adoptive parent), grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece. It is punishable with up to two years' imprisonment.[28] For familial child sex offences, the parent and sibling relationship definitions include step-parents and step-siblings.

Nothing about cousins.

Unless you're in the far north, no.

Accuweather's reporting referred to what was expected from the initial observations of the CME and solar flare.  Now that the CME has arrived, we know that it wasn't as strong as we thought.

I know enough people at uni that I don't need to hang around with the ones I don't like that often, who, funnily enough, happen to usually be the ones who don't go to uni.

Anyway, I'm pissed off in general because I'm down with a viral infection that's getting slowly better, but it's put me out of my fitness training for two weeks and catabolised my muscles in the process. :(

Any movie that was rated R and had nudity on it, showed nudity
Hell, a television show showed nudity once (it was The Lost World) waaaay back

But then again, ever since I got access to Movie Channel, I hadn't really watched movies elsewhere. Maybe they got to being far more strict

Cable channels have free reign to show whatever they want legally speaking. They just tend to only show nudity, excessive swearing, etc after a certain time of day so as not to piss off concerned mothers and the like. I think it's an agreement between most of the big channels, but it's not enforced by the FCC or anything.

If you must shoot me, use a Remington 500 shotgun, 12 gauge, loaded with the Geneva banned Flechettes. Don't aim them anywhere particularly important, like my extremities at first. Afterwards, firing some into my pelvis for maximum damage and pain. Afterall, flechettes are frigging awesome. Imagine a couple dozen tiny arrows being fired out from the barrel of a shotgun. Nasty little suckers

i hope i don't get e-coli.  :nervous:

should be deep fried for about 3-5 minutes.

Bacon is tricky to cook with when cooking with other foods, it has the tendency to dry completely out before the other ingredients are cooked fully.

Not the way I do it.  (Wrap the whole package in foil and cook in the oven.)

the problem for me was the dough on the outside was just about burned and the bacon was essentially raw.  i don't think i'm gonna try that again.  i KNOW i can pull off bacon tacos, and they are delicious.

Bacon isn't much of a source for food-borne pathogens due to the smoking and salting processes it undergoes.  Cook it longer, at a lower heat.  Problem solved.

Alternatively, cook/bake the bacon some prior to wrapping it. Only so much that it's more edible, but still flimsy enough

i find that if you try to cook bacon any other way than frying it, you wasted your bacon. im sure there are other ways, but i never experiment as far as bacon is concerned. i find it somewhere between stupid and outright blasphemy against the pork gods.

on another subject i finally decided to test those spi nordic rf transceiver modules i bought months ago. to my surprise they work with virtually no effort what so ever. the old ask modules i was using max out at about 4800 bits/sec (in practice its like a third of that because of the need for manchester encoding, error checking, and other overhead). these Nrf24L01+ modules on the other hand give me 250 kbit/sec minimum (also support 1 megabit a sec if i ever need to transmit video), not to mention they have automatic error checking and correction build in. range is also about the same, but there are amplified modules that are a little more expensive that can do 1000 meters, perfect for quadcopter use. im gonna throw away those damn ask modules.

cooking bacon in the oven works very well.  it's a tad slower, but you can just throw it in and leave it instead of having to tend to it constantly.  i can't tell a difference in taste.  microwaving it, yeah, that's definitely not as good, but it's good enough when you just REALLY can't be arsed to cook it right/you want it NAO!

Minor update on the quest for Character/Physics Happy Fun Time™! which I deem insignificant enough to warrant a triple-post / threadbump in the thread in the Programming board

Had an idea where instead of telling every joint in the whole Dood what orientation I want it in, I just tell specific bones what position/orientation I want them in, then go back and undo any changes that produces in the net linear/angular velocity of the Dood.

Preliminary testing where just the pelvis bone wants to orient itself to face the "heading" vector looks good... maybe. The Dood is limp like a ragdoll, but when I use the jetpack he sort of manages to orient himself in the right direction.

Yay?

Setting aside the problem that many people seem to have no idea how to write an effective housing ad :sigh: so far, only one ad has had a memorable line:

Quote
Tell me why you'd be the one right person for this situation.

:eek: They're looking for The One! Their housing savior!

Nah, It was a massive hyperbole. I simply forgot that I had two eggs cooking, so suddenly the house was all smokey and stuff. When I came down to see what was happening, I saw that all the water and 1 and a half egg had been evaporized. A few minutes after I open the windows and doors to get rid of the smoke, the smoke alarm (Which is in the room in which the cooking took place) goes off...

And my roommate sleeps trough it all.

Was that cropped out/size reduced? Seems a little small for a DSLR camera
Also, what camera and lens' you got? If you're going to get serious about taking 'artsy' type photographs, you may want to look into some other-than-default lens for some variety in your shots

The photo itself though is nicely lit, though the controller could use some offset from centre. Another thing you could try is getting the focus of the camera on a specific part of the controller making other parts blur out a little more intensely

Course, that's what comes to mind when I think the more artistic photography of a specific subject

I enjoyed it, but now I feel like the years I pined for it just were not worth it. I thought that the Rebuild series would answer questions, but they just throw more esoteric **** at the veiwers by the giant-flying-carrier load.

Damn it all! And it was shaping up to NOT confuse 101 different flavours of "What" and "The Frak" out of me.

To hell with this, I'm going outside while the weather is nice.

I just got brand new copies of Freespace 2 all the way from flapping China yesterday... I then went to play simcity4 today and found the original-what-i-thought-lost-forever FS2 disks underneath the two cd's.... I now own 3 copies of FS2, one set in the original box still wrapped (the one that came with the keyboard map and all that other stuff) an opened set (the one i actually played) and a Chinese set (replacements) ... i think i have a twitch now..

I enjoyed it, but now I feel like the years I pined for it just were not worth it. I thought that the Rebuild series would answer questions, but they just throw more esoteric **** at the veiwers by the giant-flying-carrier load.

Just wait for Final man. It will either make or break rebuild.

Purchased BattleTech's Era Report: 3145 recently, and just finished reading it.  Mixed feelings on the content, but the quality was pretty good and I'm psyched to finally know what's going on and where.

Bonuses:
- My faction (Free Worlds League/Marik) is back!
- One of my other factions (Clan Jade Falcon) is kicking a lot of ass.

Negatives:
- My other faction is still lead by a raging lunatic!
- ****ing Clan Wolf.

Sugar - even fruit sugar - actually may well be really bad news, health wise. There is some talk that it should be regulated to about the same extent as alcohol.

While glucose is obviously a fundamental part of metabolism, there are lots of ways to get at it, and sugar in the diet may (may!) turn out to be a really bad way.

e: source - health researchers from among the Swedish ubermenschen; but obviously in general the vilification of one piece of diet chemistry is never going to be a great way to Solve Public Health

Sugar = added sugar? Or sugar found naturally in foods like fruits? (As in you eat the fruit, not extract the sugar and eat that)

Apparently fructose is the real problem, though when eaten in natural fruits it's less dangerous because some of the uptake is blocked by the fruit's fiber content. Right now nobody has anything definitive, even though the debate has been going on for a small eon, but there's enough tendentious evidence to make some fairly level-headed people leery.

Certainly having a ton of sugar in your diet is much worse for you than having comparatively less sugar - whether because of the old 'empty calories' argument or because sugar, particularly fructose, actually is a metabolic poison. I don't feel like I know enough about this to speak on the topic with any more confidence than 'some scientists seem to have good reason to be concerned'.

Similar developments here.  :nono:

Seriously, this "part time" job has turned into a "full-time" drain. The store manager is money oriented, and supposedly was obligated to give me a $0.50 raise after my "employee performance evaluation." Since I have a tendancy to go overtime (since there's no damn way to be exactly on time when I come in and exactly on time with every one of my duties completed), he may be more inclined to reduce my hours.

Finished Silent Hill 2.

Very good game, for the most part. Atmosphere was incredible, and the puzzles were usually pretty good (though that trash chute was ****ing unintuitive).

One thing was really missing though: the fear factor. I had heard that this game was an incredible horror game. And it's impressive, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't call it "scary". "Mildly creepy" maybe.

I just find it a little hard to be at all scared when all the enemies (including Mr. Mascot of Terror himself, Pyramid Head) are slower than frozen molasses and most (save ol' PH) go down in two blasts of a shotgun (for which ammo was more than plentiful). There needs to be an actual threat there somewhere. And there wasn't. Ever. Hell, I even cranked up the combat difficulty as high as it would go. Still no threat.

I'm harping on that a bit, I'll admit. But that's because I love a good horror game, and I was expecting greatness in that area. Perhaps my expectations were set too high. As I said, on the whole it's an excellent game and I would happily recommend it.

Honestly, I've found the best horror games are the ones where you don't actually have the direct ability to kill something

What's needed more in horror games, is less predictability. Dead Space loses it's horror on the second playthrough as every event that got you in the first, is going to be the same in the second.

That's just a job unfinished though



Just spent a day at my myte's cabin. Awesome time, though I think that place will linger of weed for the next little while. I didn't partake myself, but I don't think at that point I'd have to directly do anything

Add some shooting, card games, alcohol and pictionary... too much fun

back from woods. rained the whole time. then the boat i came out on got ripped from the dock and sank. so we had to drag it to shore and pump it out/fix the engine. then the weather really turned to **** and i was stuck out there 2 more days. so my week long trip to woods turned into a week and a half. saw 1 sea lion, 3 squirrels, 17 deer, a moose and a black bear.

I've also lost a good friend of mine. She isn't dead, but she has parted ways with me after the fiasco a couple days ago
Now I'm well and truly alone in regards to friends. I've still got my shooting buddies, but they aren't anywhere near as close as I was with her.

Friends like that don't come often, and I strongly urge anyone who has someone so close to them to ensure you never lose them

I've been looking for a picture of a jumping spider's little shelter for ages. Did you know that jumping spiders use their webs to make little shelters to sleep/hide in, and also use webs to make safety lines when they jump, catching themselves with the line if they miss?

And those doombas are up to no good again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRRLJ-v0KwM&feature=player_embedded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRRLJ-v0KwM&feature=player_embedded)  :nervous:

somehow one of my cats ended up getting gasoline all over its paws and tail. so to prevent feline combustion we had to do something far, far worse. we had to give the cat a bath. claws and teeth went every which way, blood was spilled (mine) and it was a bad day for everyone involved. now the house smells like gasoline.

i also found a mushroom growing between two boards on the porch, i will now try to see if its the kind of mushroom that i can get high off of.

my plans to re-build my r/c transmitter in a ps2 pad are starting to fall through. all my through hole parts are just to damn big to get it all in the case. ive got rid of a whole matrix row, moved the voltage regulators and filtering caps for said regulators off the board (and onto another small board that will fit in one of the grips), now im somewhat concerned that there is no room for the dip chip mcu (figure i will need an surface mount package instead). i figure i could drop the mcu voltage down to 3.3 (one regulator for everything instead of 2) and run it at 8 mhz on the internal oscilator to get rid of the crystal and its caps. i probibly have more filtering capacitance than i need, and can dictch some of those. i suppose i can do away with the i2c/analog expansion port and mode switch feature too, but i really wanted that. so parts is the only option. now i need new mcus, new regulators, etc. this project just got shelved.

I decided to play with him a bit (wound up spending almost a half hour on the phone - trying not to laugh to loudly).

"Oh no, I run hundreds at this location. Can you give me a computer name or some identifying information?"

"Yes it is computer 01010000110101."

"Oh, so the name is in binary?"

"Binary, yes."

On and on. Then I decided to switch it up and tell him we actually run all Macs, just to see what his reaction would be.

"You don't run Microsoft?"

"No."

"Well Microsoft is good too."

"Okay?"

At this point I couldn't contain my laughter.

unfortunately these jalapenos were some kind of mutant super hot variety. so after slicing them and prepping them for stuffing, my hands are pretty much on fire. i even got some en by eye. now everything is burning. the poppers were delicious and well worth any pain and suffering resulting from the cooking process.

What's funny is that I spoke to one of my old teachers last week when I had to get a copy of my exam results, and she was honestly surprised that I'm not currently getting my degree in medicine. When I told her that Uni was off the table for a long time, maybe even permenantly, she told me that out of all her students that she ever taught at my old school, I was one of three that she thought would have the best chance of success in whatever fields we wished to study.

That and the convo I had with my friend tonight just hit me like a sack of bricks, and now I just feel angry at myself and tired.

I'm angry because at first I was over the moon about my apprenticeship, but now it just feels like a reminder of how I just gave up like a little ***** instead of manning up and breaking someone back at school. Or at least trying.

And I'm tired of being the first person people turn to and turn on when they get pissed off at something. It feels like more often than not, when I help someone I get thanked and spat on in almost the same breath. And when I don't help, I'm all the worst kinds of evil. And I'm tired of just taking the **** people seem to drop on me, laying down.

I try to not let most things get to me by acting as if I'm not bothered by things. And today it feels as if all frustration and anger and crap I can't even put a name to, has come bubbling up to the surface only for me to push it back down again due to me being the guy who'll do whatever he's asked to do, because people seem to have needed to use me as a crutch since I was 13.

And after posting this, come tomorrow it's back to smiling and pretending that things just wash over me with the worst effect being me getting a little pissed and posting about it on some forum with my oldest brother and a bunch of people I'll most likely never meet in person, in the search for some paltry fomr of release.

P.S.
Sorry if the last bit seems as if I'm looking down on you guys, and I hope you know that I hold a great deal of respect towards most of the people here, Dekker included..except for when he used to break Alliance and nuke my bases in pretty much every RTS we played.

True story, one of my buddies was in charge of evacuating the bodies!
Oh man.  Kind of puts my ****ty argument in proper perspective.

I turned 21 when I was in the Army. That was last year.

My two-year conscription period in the Singapore Armed Forces ends on 8 June. In order to be released, I have to do a few things before the actual date, otherwise my release will be postponed. One of the things I need to do is to get my blood samples taken, which I did yesterday. My right arm still aches a little now, because the medic attending to me had problems finding my vein. :blah:

So I was accused of being part of the one percent for stating the fact that if the Enbridge Pipeline is borked in the Province of British Columbia, it'll just go elsewhere and so will the money flow

I'm not entirely sure if the Socialists that live here are just stupid, or so blinded that they can't read a simple fact properly. Did I say the money was going to me? I did not, but somehow she correlated the money involved in the pipeline somehow gets to the 1% which is me and therefore I am evil

I've somehow been wrangled by some girl into performing the Safety Dance with my best friend at an anime convention while dressed as Rude from FFVII, and while I don't really jump with joy at the idea of doing a cosplay, all I need is my suit, sunglasses and a metal stick to pull it off.

She's quite infamous in our circles for being a rabid yaoi fangirl, and I just know that she'll drag it all down into the gutter.

Reno is the one with the rod. Rude uses his fists. As long as you have a bald head or one of those cap things to make you look like you do, it should be fine. And the Turks are cool too  :cool:

I like to think that the EMR is standard issue for Turks, if only fo the fact that I also want a prop.

Also, you've given me an idea for the Turks song to transition into the safety dance.


In the likely chance that this gets onto youtube, I will publicly state that it was you that it was only the support of HLP that made any of it possible.

never underestimate the power of antibiotics. one of my cats had an upper respiratory infection a couple years ago. poor thing was near dead, a day after getting the antibiotics he was getting on everyone's nerves as usual. your cat may just need some dental work.

it's not like i'm certain i failed, but i'm also not comfortable in stating i passed.  it was a REALLY crap exam.  bunch of stuff i'd never seen before, or that was mentioned in passing as an "oh, by the way", unclear questions that we just had to guess at what they were after, and even a few that flat out didn't apply to our qual.  at one point during it, our instructor wondered aloud if WE could reject the test and send it back.

very different from the first go round.

not surprised, how did it go?

it's not like i'm certain i failed, but i'm also not comfortable in stating i passed.  it was a REALLY crap exam.  bunch of stuff i'd never seen before, or that was mentioned in passing as an "oh, by the way", unclear questions that we just had to guess at what they were after, and even a few that flat out didn't apply to our qual.  at one point during it, our instructor wondered aloud if WE could reject the test and send it back.

very different from the first go round. 

its ridiculous that they did that to you

Always a temporary solution until I find something permanent. I only used IE10 as a replacement for 27 minutes, which is a lot shorter than the amount of time I spent using Safari while making the switch from Firefox to Chrome on my Mac.

the only reason i DON'T use IE is because there's no adblock for it.  i've never encountered a website that didn't work on IE but did on something else.  the reverse happens with some amount of regularity.

well, not like i knew everything on it kind of easy.  but it wasn't hard to pass.  you don't actually need all that high of a percentage to pass.  there was stuff on there i just plain didn't know, because i'm not an electrical/chemical/whatever engineer, but the stuff on it that WAS in my curriculum wasn't really hard.  and it was all multiple choice, had plenty of time, you were allowed reference materials, and most of all a proper damn lunch break.  i left the FE a bit tired and with a sore neck, but it wasn't NEARLY as stressful and my brain wasn't melted.  i need to go back to NCSU and tell Dr. Doster he needs to up his game, because i just took an exam worse than his.

Well, with your Custom Title and post history, even an idiot like me could tell it was sarcasm (and I'm terrible at detecting it), so don't worry about it. Still, it did make other people get carried away, which is their problem.

It does feel awkward when kara starts sweeping the floor, though. :nervous:

At least the ban period was short.

I've been having a nagging feeling in the back of my mind about one of the players in the Fate game I'm running, but it only just clicked after today's session: his motives for RPing are in conflict with everyone else's motives - he's only there for the humour. Whilst humour is great, doing things like "I steal a chair from the royal palace" is out of character and senseless. I don't put all this work into creating a campaign only for one person to throw all that out the window and turn it into random shenanigans. It seems I'm going to have to talk to him.

Or maybe I'm just a ****ty DM.

Actually the worst she can say is no then rip out your heart with a whole bunch of mean things to say about you while metaphorically cutting off your head with a butter knife while literally stabbing you with a fork for asking that question during her father's funeral

I mean... you can do it!


EDIT: Also had the most retarded debate with someone

His point was that keyboard and mouse is more accurate than controller
My point was that it wasn't for me
He insisted because that studies were done to support his side, that he is right and that keyboard and mouse is more accurate
I told him it's a personal thing, not a blanket generalization
He kept ramming down my throat that keyboard and mouse is more accurate
I ended the conversation and continued playing the game with my controller better than when I was trying it with K&M


Because controller native players are inherently more accurate as soon as they pick up that mouse and keyboard because studies were done eh

Just ask her! Even if nothing comes out of it, just going out in itself is great :). Heck, if you get on well, all she can say is no - she will probably still appreaciate the compliment.

Also, anti depressants are not everything - you won't feel happier just because of them, but the most major effect (for me at the least) is that even when you feel absolutely ****, you are still able to keep your head above the water so to speak. IE you still have a reasonably realistic grasp of your situation (which is a huge help).

From what I've read, Turkey's citizens are upset at the growing authoritarian stance their current Prime Minister is taking, especially the police brutality he's been allowing to happen.

It's quite long. It reaches the bottom of my shoulder blades when it's wet, but the rest of the time I have it pulled back into a sort of ponytail.  You'll all see tomorrow, I'm planning on getting a bunch of pics with my hair tied back, untied and gone.
And I'm not gonna lie, I think there will be tears when it goes. I've spent years caring for my hair, so long in fact, that i've been growing it since before my neice was a twinkle in my brother's eye.

Why do you want to take it off then? You could make a cash donation and keep your hair.

But look on the bright side, if you've been caring for your hair, it's going to make a high quality wig for someone. If it means that much to you, then you've got my respect.

I've completed my two-year conscription period with the Armed Forces and am now a reservist. In Singapore, they call this ORD. In the rest of the world, it's just another job change.
Good on you, mate. :) A surprising amount of the guys at my uni are Singaporeans who've come down after NS. The cool stuff they get up to kind of makes me wish we had NS in Australia.

Good to hear they're mostly not complaining about NS being a waste of time. There are some conscripts who feel that way.

In the meantime, I'm reading an article Admiral Nelson posted on #freespace. Award for most punny web page ever? (http://www.universalhub.com/2013/driver-might-not-have-been-cream-crop#comments)

The only one I know who does talk about it kind of in that tone did his time as a clerk in a Combat Support Corps. The guys I know who seem to look back on it well are guys who did their time in an Arms Corps. Consequently I met all those blokes in my uni gym and the Support Corps bloke I met by chance in one of my tutes. Coincidence? Maybe.

Anyway, upon reading the moderation threads, and being in the midst of my study for an exam tomorrow afternoon, I have come to the conclusion that I think HLP needs more sex, drugs, and people.  :pimp:

are the holes in the bumper perhaps for a license plate holder and not the plate itself?

At worst, it seems like a morally ambiguous response IMO.  Seems more like someone who doesn't know what to say just trying to relate it to his own life.

I am having a bit of a discussion with someone who thinks that rape is not all that widespread and that the US does not have a rape culture. I am trying to find the thread on HLP that explained this in great detail.

Two things struck me:
1) I can't find it
2) It's not in the classics yet, where it should be.

I am having a bit of a discussion with someone who thinks that rape is not all that widespread and that the US does not have a rape culture. I am trying to find the thread on HLP that explained this in great detail.

Two things struck me:
1) I can't find it
2) It's not in the classics yet, where it should be.

This Wikipedia page will probably help you out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics

PS3 eye is a visual camera, is it not? TrackIR requires an infrared sensor.

oh, I just got it working a few days ago, with a newly bought pS eye camera.
It's suprisingly simple to figure out, although it is rather hard to tweak to a setting which you find comfortable. However, once you have gotten that, you can't live without it.

And alternatively, you can actually do IR tracking with FaceTrackNoIR (It's better then Freetrack), you'll have to remove the IR filter on the thing though.

You're a strange one. You get off on watching people suffer and die, hence your name, you enjoy torturing and killing bugs, but you don't like someone throwing tennis balls full of anti-freeze to dogs.

That aside, finally got out to fire the Mosin-Nagant today. ****ing fantastic
The bolt is so smooth, and the thing is accurate! Course, the gun is always more accurate than the person shooting it.

Didn't fire as many as I figured we would. Don't think we got past 100
Cinder blocks also explode quite nicely

But now, I'm sitting in front of my computer ****ing paranoid as **** because my two shooting buddies found themselves ticks while I didn't. I wore long legged pants which fit tightly around my foot, a hat and a polo shirt. Good stuff to wear, but still. Paranoid man. ****ing ticks

The model is not small. It's bigger than an aircraft carrier with some 6000 aboard. I think a lot of us are of the opinion that the crew spaces are a comparatively small part of the actual hull, but still, you've got a ton of room.

It should be noted that HLP as a whole only has slightly over 1.6 million posts.

Then here's to HLP lasting for at least two centuries.

WRT the Fenris, note that Freespace is pretty terrible at convincingly portraying scales. I mean, the Perseus is longer than the average house, but it certainly doesn't look like that ingame.

There is a fine line between "feminist" and "misandrist".

I've found the more strongly a "feminist" feels about their beliefs, the more they tend to cross that line.

Woot.  Just managed to shave with a bladed non-electric razor again for the first time in over 16 years... and only cut myself once.  I'm rather pleased with myself... figured with my thick-and-rapid-growing facial hair that said 5-bladed razor was going to spend a considerable amount of time removing my face.

Protip:  When packing your electric shaver, DO NOT FORGET TO LOCK IT BEFORE PLACING IT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BAG.  Turns out the 5-hour drive between Edmonton and Fort McMurray is more than ample to kill the battery.   :nono:

Got called by a scammer today. Never actually had one of those on the line before.

Apparently, my "Windows machine" was secretly downloading ads and pop-ups and only they had the software to get rid of them. Oh, and these were somehow being downloaded directly from the Internet, bypassing my home network completely.

So yeah, it was actually kind of fun messing with them. Lead them on for about five minutes with stupidly easy technical questions they couldn't answer before they just started repeating themselves and I got bored.

Ignorant assholes are so cute.

having used 2 Brawn electrics, a Gillette Mach 3 and a Gillette Fusion I have to say the blades are the better razors they irritate much less and tug less, especially when dealing with day+ growth.  As for cutting myself I have to be really tired to manage anything more than a scratch that stops bleeding after a couple of minutes and has healed in a couple of days

On the subject, I used to use the bladed manual one for a long while

However, after growing my beard into something I can sport, electric is really the only thing I can use for trimming
Though, the electric one I use isn't in the style that you guys use

(http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/72000091/Images/1/img128894.jpg)

I suppose, those are technically called hair clippers, but I've always called them razors. Semantics



Never had problems with either. It's not like you're using one of those razors which are basically a switchblade to your throat

Pretty sure I'm going to fail university.
Which is bad because the only way to get a job remotely associated with my field is with a master's degree in my province...a Ph.D anywhere else in the country.

I'm being told that preschool educators (considering this since I want a job dealing with kids) are being paid "more than dentists" which is one hell of a claim that goes against everything I've been told and learned in researching the topic. I know there's a demand for them in Alberta, but I seriously doubt a preschool teacher (with the required one-year diploma) can ever hope to make the six-digit figures that Albertan dentists frequently make.

I think that's one of the "professional" sets, or whatever they're called, which are a different line than the normal Lego System sets that minifigures ride in.  Those are the ones that tend to have crazy-high piece counts and be much more detailed.  I know my little B-wing model is like a tenth of that size.

Different note: I direct you to the following news article
http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Survivor+recalls+discarded+mortar+killed+childhood+pals/8544705/story.html

This piece would generally be "Okay, so that happened" to which I figured was an addition to the ongoing articles about unspent ammunition near old training sites

Then I came across the following bits:

Quote
Fifty years later, the sole survivor of the blast says he is still waiting for his apology from the Department of National Defence.
Quote
But during the 1940s, the pasture had been used for war games and training exercises as part of Vernon Military Camp. Unbeknownst to Crane and his buddies, that history was scattered all over the field in the form of mortar shells that remained live decades later.
Quote
“He looks at it and says, ‘Oh, it looks like a bomb’,” Crane said in an interview Tuesday. “‘Let’s see if it’s live.’”

Hope banged the blunt end of the hatchet on the narrow tube attached to what turned out to be a foot-long mortar.

ARE YOU ****ING RETARDED

It's no wonder the Department of National Defense hasn't given him an apology. His troupe was filled with dumbasses
HURR DURR LET'S BANG THIS MORTAR WHICH WE KNOW IS A MORTAR WITH A ****ING HATCHET

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

First, the Boy Scouts dropped the ball by NOT INFORMING THE PEOPLE IN THIS ESCAPADE THAT THIS PLACE WAS USED AS A TRAINING GROUND FOR THE MILITARY.

When I was in Cadets and we did our "in the field" stuff, we were explicitly told "You see metal or something that looks like a bomb, IGNORE THE **** OUT OF IT AND LET ONE OF US KNOW. We'll then inform the actual Officers that this has been discovered, and they'll dispatch the Engineers to take care of it"

I do not feel bad for people who bang explosive objects with hatchets to "see if it's live"

Would you care to ennumerate the problems you noticed with Man of Steel, and the problems you had with Avengers? I am curious and would like to have an exchange of views on these topics.

For an opener, I posit that Man of Steel did an excellent job of establishing Krypton as a unique world, and an excellent job of establishing a Lois Lane who is actually a gods-damned reporter, instead of just a romantic interest and convenient damsel-in-distress who happens to work at a newspaper.

I would also posit that Man of Steel's scale resulted in a diminishing of the actual impact of the battle, relative to Avengers - sure, we can see Superman punch Faora or the big'un through three buildings into a grain silo, or whatever, but Avengers' battle took place on a more comprehensible scale, and we were therefore able to see its effects on people instead of (impressively rendered, to be sure) cgi buildings.

One small detail off the bat is how although they rightfully portray their battles in the city as if they are sharped knifes going through melted butter, you never see anyone dying in that process. When you see so many buildings being destroyed (9/11 all over again... sigh), you oughta see death and pain. This should eventually perturb Superman, but he never even seems to attempt to drive the struggle outside of cities and towns (the hilarious part when he tells the inhabitants to "go inside your houses", as if that would really save them). So the movie is incoherent in that way. Lots of wreck and havok and destruction, no "collateral" deaths in any fashion (only intended kills).

Even the series DragonBall Z knew better. These guys were just afraid to portray these events as they rightfully should be: the ****ing Apocalypse averted.

Avenger's problems are more narrative-structural, and hence pervasive, than Man of Steel.

Avengers attempted to portray the heroes overcoming a series of challenges, but the uneven nature of this road and some poor directorial choices, plus I suspect a misunderstanding of the Marvel vs. DC dynamic, resulted in the movie having trouble letting its heroes actually be heroic. These are the Avengers. They fight gods on a regular basis. The worst stuff in the universe sees them coming and screams "Game over man, game over!" and jumps off the thirty-fifth floor to get away.

We all came to see that, you can build up to it all you want, you can have trouble putting the team together, getting it to work as a team, but you get the Avengers together with their game faces on and it's time for evil to flail impotently and whine. Avengers the movie did not understand this, deciding even at the end with the nuke inbound to try and raise the tension once more by having them get overwhelmed, long after anyone should be trying to raise dramatic tension. That's the worst part on this issue, but if you work back through the movie you can find others.

I tend to think that Luis' and your take on the issue of violence en masse vs. personal violence is somewhat wrongheaded. Everyone I've spoken to on the issue acknowledges that a lot of people are dying here got to them on an emotional level, and more than one has expressed surprise that carnage, implied or not, on this scale actually got past the ratings types. So I think this idea that anyone "needed" to see the apocalypse play out on a personal scale here isn't terribly valid on an emotional level for this movie. (It's certainly not on the same storytelling and wanted-got levels I talked about with Avengers.)

My issues with Man of Steel are smaller-scale and almost de rigour to Superman anyways, like the good old "immune to bullets is immune to physics" one where nobody flinches when taking multiple GAU-8 rounds but a train engine at a much lower velocity sends them flying. The forces involved probably aren't equivalent, but they're close enough reactions should be noticeable. The only one I think most of us would have noticed in the act was "why did Zod discard his battle armor anyways".

I disagree almost entirely with that criticism of The Avengers, but I think it's a pretty bad movie with a TV director's sensibility evident in the shot blocking and a baffling unwillingness to really put the heroes in jeopardy. (helicarrier should've crashed)

Greetings from the woodss. Has internet. On ****ty tablet. How you screen trappers toleratehis **** interface. Screw this need. Keyboard.

I use a usb mini male to full size female adaptor (usb otg if that way inclined) to use a hub and mouse/keyboard/external hard drive/gamepad so I can surf/YouTube/snes Rom on my tv via my, Sony Xperia S hdmi output.

My pc's dead and my phone is marginally slower than my netbook.

id have probibly been happier with my raspberry pi really. least then i can type stuffs and it runs on 2 or more li-po cells in series, so it would run without the genny for a couple hours at least. problem with it is the network adapter is somewhat glitchy and very short range. my sister has one of those mobile hotspots which would work better with a bigger wifi antennea instead of a stupid chip antennea. problem with the pi is its still arm so i cant run any of the software i normally use. so i just leave the damn thing at home. id have better luck with a fake x-86 soft processor on an fpga dev board. must look into that.

of the 5 times i went fishing i didnt catch a damn thing. that heard of deer that was their last time was gone (august will suck again). it was hot as **** and the bugs were killer. so we spend a couple days at the local industrial site/swimming hole. the hole is actually the ground water from the area with the dirt removed (and sold as any grade of gravel you could desire). its 12 feet deep at the edge (about the reach of the loader's arm) and gets more shallow towards the middle of the pond. it is somewhat murky and the deeper you go the colder it gets, and there is an excellent view of the rock crusher and rusty old crane that doesn't work. its hard to get out of, especially with the loose gravel and bolders at the shore, which is a very easy way to drown yourself. other than that is the most fun swimming hole ever.

i put a lot of time on the atvs again. someone had the bright idea of driving 4 of them out to the beach and have a picknick when the tide was out. i had my 4 year old niece (the squirrel slayer) on the back. needles to say when the tide came in we got stuck out there and had to find a path through some woods and grassy areas. all the vehicles were overheating and the squirrel slayer kept getting off to pick flowers, all the time roasting in the sun and getting eaten by bugs the size of helicopters. good thing i brought some motorhead or that would have been intolerable. when we got back to the cabin i fell asleep.

this trip was less of a cluster **** than the last one though.

I've also lost a good friend of mine. She isn't dead, but she has parted ways with me after the fiasco a couple days ago
Now I'm well and truly alone in regards to friends. I've still got my shooting buddies, but they aren't anywhere near as close as I was with her.

Friends like that don't come often, and I strongly urge anyone who has someone so close to them to ensure you never lose them

Sometimes you're just screwed and will lose them no matter what you do. :blah:

 I have returned from the first International Conference on the History of Games (http://www.history-of-games.com/home/) in Montreal. While I only attended the last day, I was able to meet several industry legends during a keynote: Jason Della Rocca, Brenda Romero, John Romero, Reid Schneider and Warren Spector. (And I believe John Carmack may have been there as well.)

 Spector, Romero and his wife spoke about the lost history of the development side of games, and how they salvaged design documents. (John Romero has papers and videos of every single game he has ever worked on.)

 There was also a presentation about cities in video games and the properties we associate to them (shooting, crime, driving, bowling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2O-77ir-vY).)

 It was quite awesome. And I think they were recording the whole thing, so you might be able to see it in the future.

i thought it was. i think it took us 6 months to consume that much meat and it saved a lot of money on the grocery bill. look at it this way, you were going hunting anyway, you are about to head back and call it quits, then you come across a young buck. you can either come home empty handed, or shoot it. if i have a shot im gonna take it. i would have preferred the 10 point buck that hangs out around the post office every year around hunting season. but this bull**** about hunting within city limits, a quarter mile from an airport. whoever writes those regs needs to be shot, chopped up, and placed in plastic bags labeled "pork".

/tg/ quest threads are weird. In the midst of an otherwise kind of blah discussion...

Quote
We are the guns, and your masters! Saw ye our flashes?
Heard ye the scream of our shells in the night, and the shuddering crashes?
Saw ye our work by the roadside, the shrouded things lying,
Moaning to God that He made them - the maimed and the dying?
Husbands or sons, Fathers or lovers, we break them. We are the guns!

We are the guns and ye serve us. Dare ye grow weary,
Steadfast at night-time, at noon-time; or waking, when dawn winds blow dreary
Over the fields and the flats and the reeds of the barrier-water,
To wait on the hour of our choosing, the minute decided for slaughter?
Swift, the clock runs; Yea, to the ultimate second. Stand to your guns!

We are the guns, and we need you; here, in the timbered
Pits that are screened by the crest, and the copse where at dusk ye unlimbered;
Pits that one found us - and, finding, gave life (Did he flinch from the giving?);
Laboured by moonlight when wraith of the dead brooded yet o'er the living;
Ere, with the sun's rising, the sorrowful spirit abandoned its guns.

Who but the guns shall avenge him? Battery - Action!
Load us and lay to the centremost hair of the dial's refraction;
Set your quick hands to our levers to compass the sped soul's assoiling;
Brace your taut limbs to the shock when the thrust of the barrel recoiling
Deafens and stuns! Vengeance is ours for our servants: trust ye the guns!

Went shooting again today

Since our normal group was missing one, there was a replacement person instead
He got his brow split open because he didn't figure the glass hitting his face would happen...
...despite his face being pretty close to the rifle which chambers .300 Winchester Magnums

So he bled everywhere

Then the battery on the truck decided "Nope" and we ended up having to meet new and random people in order to get 'er started again

I'm amazed at how many people don't have jumper cables. I mean really? I grew up in a city where every single person who had a car had jumper cables (-50C temperatures wreck havoc on batteries). If you needed a boost, twenty people would be able to come to your aid

Dunno. If you happen to be in a spot (or have a car) in which getting out of the car is tricky for at least one of the occupants (parked next to railing, two doored cars), i'd rather go with the fire extinguisher.

Please, PLEASE tell me there is a rise or berm in the bush that we can't see in the video.  I sincerely hope you aren't firing off 7.62 rounds at cans with no safety backdrop... *looks pointedly at deathfun* ... are you?  :nono:

The mine location didn't have as significant backdrop in comparison to the other location (in that particular direction), but was far more removed from everything and the tree cover was extremely thick.

Still makes me nervous.  There've been accidents in the past when rounds fired into bush have struck farmers, hunters, and hikers.  If you can control your backdrop you really should.

Also, aren't you from the metro Vancouver area?  What mine site are you guys visiting?

North West of Squamish a fair ways. If you find Mt. Jimmy Jimmy, it's about a 45 degree diagonal North East from it

A known shooting area.
As for accidents occurring, there's nothing you can hunt out there. It's all out of season minus Coyote.

Fair point regardless, hikers are really the only actual concern (farms out located due east at least 15km), though anyone out that late would be hard pressed to make it back safely unless they drove to that location

Sidenote: I believe someone dropped the ball

Shotguns, specifically those firing standard flavors of shot and not slugs, are less of a concern for collateral damage (vs. rifles, pistols, etc.) because the shot tends to rapidly loose its KE after a certain range. Not to mention that the lethality of said rounds also decline the more spread out it is.

I think his point was the generic firing into the air, where some of the KE of the shot is restored by gravity.

Yes, but drag is still applied to the projectile, so even if you fire up in the air and it lands half of its normal firing range, the KE would be much lower. :P

Actually my point was less so the firing it into the air, but the fact they were all wearing buckets on their heads firing a shotgun into the air and posting it on Facebook

I'm also well aware of the physics behind bullets being fired into the air either directly upwards or at an angle

Can't really make any other comment on it though as I don't know where they were doing it, or the type of ammo they were using for the 12 gauge.

The terminal velocity of a bullet is much, much, much lower then the velocity it exists the barrel with - bullets shot in the air falling down don't hurt people (atleast not severely). If they did, you wouldn't see so many people doing it :P.

So the Texas Senate tried to practically ban abortion, but Democratic State Senator filibustered for 13 hours until she got removed because of some bogus technicalities. And then, the Republicans tried to vote past midnight, which they did. The Democrats, Internet, and the mob in the gallery protested. Eventually, the Lt. Gov. conceded and said that it failed because it went past midnight. Then the Internet exploded and the crowd cheered. And then the Internet went to bed. I included.

Well that's good. (But please, don't say "**** you, Texas")  :)

Unfortunately, this would only be true if fired directly up; otherwise the magic of a ballistic trajectory takes over (and people have been severely hurt and killed by bullets fired into the air).

I've updated Classic Shell to the latest version. Microsoft asked the Classic Shell Team to remove their Windows 8 style Start Button, so they have done so in this update. This removal coincides with a change to the Classic Shell logo from a seashell with the four Windows colours to a seashell with a blue gradient.

Still, it's a nice logo, and I find it tempting to eat the Start Button with their logo on it.

So I ordered myself a PS3, due to the overwhelming desire to play The Last of Us, Uncharted and RDR.
Yesterday, I look at the package tracker, and see that the package has indeed arrived (yay), but in the notes it says that the recipient was "Blue bin" (For those that are not german, waste paper bins have blue lids). Slightly alarmed, I call one of my housemates to check, and yes, the packages are indeed stuffed into our waste paper bin.

Seriously? Was it too ****ing hard to, I dunno, leave the package with my neighbours? Or, if they aren't available, leave it at the post office for later pickup?

I shall have to write a sternly worded letter, I think.

Yup, because nobody is going to feel inclined to steal it or anything

Convenience, mostly. Transporting a PS3 on a bike across town is not something I was particularly looking forward to, and the specific bundle I wanted (PS3 + Uncharted 3 + Gran Turismo 5) was unavailable at the local retailers.

500, and I have played Uncharted 1 and 2 before (this isn't the first PS3 I own, I had to sell my first one a couple years back). I will probably pick up UC2 again via PSN.

Gotcha
I also just realized I've yet to actually play Uncharted
Any of them

Heh

Well, minus that multiplayer beta thing for UC3 (although now you can apparently just play UC3 [full] multiplayer standalone for free. That's so cool actually)

SB5 failed! :D **** you Texas!

I feel like I should have known something about this in passing. So, uh, what happened?
So the Texas Senate tried to practically ban abortion, but Democratic State Senator filibustered for 13 hours until she got removed because of some bogus technicalities. And then, the Republicans tried to vote past midnight, which they did. The Democrats, Internet, and the mob in the gallery protested. Eventually, the Lt. Gov. conceded and said that it failed because it went past midnight. Then the Internet exploded and the crowd cheered. And then the Internet went to bed. I included.

Well that's good. (But please, don't say "**** you, Texas")  :)
Alright, I'll be nice until the state legislature tries this again.

Thanks.
Too late. Sorry man. **** Texas. :|

I don't know if it's better... but I've had a package simply left at my door once
Yup, because nobody is going to feel inclined to steal it or anything


that's pretty much standard operating procedure, at least anywhere i have lived.  my deliveries have all been fine, living on the 3rd floor.  USPS will hold packages at the post office, but any other delivery service will leave it at the door unless the shipper specifies that it must be signed for (rare).  hell i had a delivery once when i was home and they didn't even knock on the door.  just left it.  found it sitting there when i went outside later in the afternoon.

Job interview tomorrow morning.

Good luck! What sort of job is it?

A nice sit-down office job where I can work during the day and sleep at night.  I work graveyard shift right now, so that'll be a relief.

Didn't get the job.  They offered it to my supervisor instead, which is weird because she already makes more money than that job would pay.  :wtf:

On the other hand, that means a better-paying position (and salaried instead of hourly, so better benefits) will be opening up soon, and I'm definitely in the top three when it comes to experience and seniority.  The ones who have more seniority don't have as much experience, but two of them are close enough to be competitive and have already applied for that position several times.  TBH, though, I'd rather take the lower-paying sit down desk job.  I've never really liked leadership.  I'd be good at it, though.  Seems the rest of the hotel front office staff (except for the supervisors and those other two I mentioned) already comes to me when they've got an issue they can't handle.

because 1280x1024 monitors used to be popular before everyone went widescreen. think of it as kind of a transitional period. almost all crts were strictly 4:3, and while initially lcd's stuck to this format, the demand for higher res screens led to some oddball formats. at the time hdtv was still on the drawing board and nobody knew what aspect ratios or resolutions would result. so they just made whatever resolutions were technically possible. 4:3 in general is pretty much dead these days. i like 16x9s just because i can watch most movies and tv shows on it without any cropping.

wikipedia has this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg
5:4 is very oddball, and there are only 2 display types with that aspect ratio. large format 4:3 ratios exist. i owned a laptop with a 1440x1050 screen roughly 10 years ago, and 1600x1200 is a classic crt resolution that was common in the 90s (newegg does have some lcds of this resolution however). there was only one qxga monitor and that was a vertical format medical diagnostic monitor. 1280x960 doesnt seem to exist at all. there are all kinds of other weird formats like 2:3, 3:5, 8:5, and 17x9. the more oddball formats are mostly used as laptop screens.

Haven't gotten a phone call, yet, but I just got a weird "Cham Tao Soon"[1] email.  All it says is "I am Mr. Cham Tao Soon, I have a project for you."  No link, no attachments, and it came from [email protected].

[1] Basically the new Nigerian-style scam, but a bit more sophisticated.  Claims to be Cham Tao Soon from the UOB Group.  The UOB Group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Overseas_Bank) does actually exist, and does actually have someone named Cham Tao Soon on their board of directors (http://www.uobgroup.com/about/management/our_management.html), so when you look it up, it appears to be legit.

decided id give another go at switch mode supplies. im still cheap to buy one of those one chip solutions, so its using a 555 timing source and a power transistor doing the switching. the rest of the regulator is just a typical buck regulator (inductor, capacitor, and diode). its running on a 7.4v dual cell lithium battery and im trying to drop it down to 3.3v. it could run a 500ma load just fine while keeping around 4 volts. so were getting closer.

as the load increases the voltage drops so at a point it becomes unusable. since were putting out around 4v @ around 500ma, that means the power supply is very usable. but what if i want to use a smaller load. well then you get higher voltages and that is undesirable. so i need a way to cap the voltage at 3.3v.

looking at the datasheets for one chip solutions gave me some ideas. first thing i need is a reference voltage. i decided to use a resistor and zener diode reference. the zener diode when reverse biased against the voltage source will breakdown to whatever its zener voltage is. in this case 3.3v, and the resistor just keeps it from melting. then i take the output from this reference and feed it to the non-inverting pin of an opamp, and on the inverting side i feed the output voltage from the regulator. in this mode an opamp is now an analog comparator. if in+ > in- i get a high voltage, otherwise i get ground. its like coding with silicon.

now that i have a bit telling me if were overvolting or not. its just a simple matter of taking the clock source and the output of the opamp and anding them. you just **** with the clock so that the inductor and capacitor have a longer discharge time, and thus the average voltage drops. i looked at a 74hc08 quad dual input and gate, unfortunately you cant run it any higher than 6 volts. but i had some pn2222s that can push up to 40 volts. an and gate is just 2 transistors and 3 resistors, so i built one out of those 5 parts. now i just feed the output of this gate into that power transistor and the voltage never goes past 3.3. i feel really awesome right now.

now there is one problem. i want moar powar! i want to push a couple amps. unfortunately when i use a smaller load resistor (which increases the current) the voltage still drops below the desired level. this really all comes down to my buck regulator. things like the size of the inductor and capacitance and duty cycle and frequency all play a part in how much power a switch mode supply can handle. it takes math which i am too lazy to do. i also dont have much in terms of inductors. i found a nice one in an old portable tv i took apart last week. but aparently its not big enough. maybe one of those big toroidal coils like the ones i salvaged from a mobo. i suppose i can swap the resistors on the 555 with a pair of pots so i can dial in the clock parameters and see what i can do there. maybe increase the duty cycle, idk. but using a big whopping coil that will probibly kill something is my plan of action.

Some people know each other better and get along better being just friends, so it may not be a bad thing. It's better than breaking up, at any rate, because there are usually some withdrawal symptoms associated with that.

So, last night me and a group of my buddies decided to get drunk and play retro games. Due to the oppresive heat we only managed to to play the games, as none of us wanted to feel like Death during the evening, and wish we were dead this morning.
One of my friends also managed to crash Cortex Command by bodychecking my brain unit with one of his units. I ragequit the room and we ended up copying This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omLve_vezbA) to the word. many lulz where had by all.

Attached, is a photo of a bug I found in my Toilet Bowl this morning. Not knowing what it was, I photo'd it and then flushed because I hate bugs so very very very much... Because it was struggling in the water, the photo is not very clear. It reminds me of a Tick, but doesn't look quite right though. From what I can find, a Tick is more or less a Body with a head, where this seems to have a middle section.

Any idea what kind of bug this is? If it's a Tick, I will need to try to determine its source or possibility of another one lurking around.

Ah, maybe. It was quite small. Just a little paranoid after a recent roadtrip where ticks were an issue a week or so ago, was worried maybe they got brought back from the luggage. But it does look different, was thinking there may have been different types.

Probably just your standard bug though. Darn bugs.

Been going over credit card security in my head since yesterday.  Turns out a group of five people using eight different credit card numbers stolen from the same person purchased $8,900 worth of gift certificates at our gift shop and cashed them out at the casino cage immediately afterward.  Two of the five have been arrested, and we're still on the lookout for the other three.

This got me thinking about how easy it would be for someone like me (fairly knowledgeable about credit cards and computers, working at the hotel front desk) to skim credit card information using the computers we have at work.  We have Verifone signature capture systems, but don't have them set up for customers to swipe their own cards yet, so we still take the card and swipe it ourselves.  Autorun is disabled, but USB drives themselves are not disabled in Windows, so it's still easy to run programs off a flash drive.  A simple keylogger would work, or something more sophisticated to only capture credit card magstripes and additional user-selected information (using a hotkey) could be written, as the credit card readers we use are simple USB HIDs.  Wouldn't be too difficult to capture the entire magnetic stripe (so, credit card number, expiration, and cardholder's name), customer's address (we take one at hotel check-in), and CVV (since we handle the card ourselves).  On top of that, since most of our hotel rooms are comped (being part of a casino) and we don't authorize a guest's card for a deposit (unlike most hotels), it would take longer for any of the card issuers to figure out that credit card fraud is originating here.

Our company policy says we can't use flash drives with company computers unless they're pre-approved by our IT department, but it's never been enforced.  I think I'll email some recommendations to my manager.

you could probibly put a device between the pin pad and the computer to log everything it does. this would nab you pin numbers and scan codes. assuming the card readers arent encrypting anything (some of them do, im sure, others are just a passive gizmo that talks to a computer and the encryption is done in software). this would net you hundreds of cards and pin numbers. of course the cops would probibly trace it all to your buisness, your computer, and figure out who was at the register that day. probibly not the best idea.

Trying to decide what to do with old graphics card(s).

A while ago my computer began BSOD'ing and some research determined it was the video drivers. Replaced, updated, and all sorts of shenanigans with different drivers, but never solved the problem, so I bought a new set and my problems vanished.

Now I'm unsure of what to do with the old cards. It's a pair of GTX 460's. Still decently powerful as far as graphics go, even compared to newer models if you put the two together with SLI, so it seems a waste to just trash them, but on the other hand I do not know if repair is possible, and if it is, where it would be done. :doubt:

i've got an extra vid card lying around too.  pretty much perfectly good HD 6950 that's been unlocked to 6970.  just needs a custom fan profile in MSI afterburner or similar to keep it from overheating itself in games.  or i guess you could use the manual control in catalyst if you can stomach the loud fan all the time.

i thought i somehow cooked it in the process of trying to flash my motherboard bios.  by the time i figured out what the problem was and that the card was fine, i had already talked myself into a GTX670.  turns out AMD got all up in the mobo bios's **** and somehow the new version detected the unlocked vid card and refused to post.  but a little bit of googling and bios editing later i came out victorious and my flashed 6970 worked again.

Also started my "Modernist" phase in painting... and dear god, it feels great to be free of rational and academic chains.

I'm pretty confident it's a hemipteran (true bug) so, not a tick - ticks legs tend to be much less prominent, and while I'm not 100% confident I can see a true three-segment body (which would confirm it wasn't a tick) due to the blurry photo, it does have the look of an insect, rather than an arachnid - I think wings are covering the thorax-abdomen join.

I'm surprised you haven't put the PS1 away then, since the PS2 plays the games just fine. Although using the PS1 for PS1 games may well extend the life of your PS2, so I suppose it's smart.

My PS3 sits atop my PS2. My PS1 broke, the only console I've lost, which prompted the upgrade to PS2.

Went for a hike this morning at 2am.  Got out in the wilderness aways and heard movement.  Not wind.  Pulled out my phone and turned on the light and saw five or six pairs of eyes
staring
straight
at me.

Later realized they were probably just cattle (from height, low reflectivity, and the fact that there were hoof prints all over...), but still freaked me out at the time, especially since I know coyotes and mountain lions are common around here.

I HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF PACIFIC RIM

So my assessment? It's actually a pretty good movie. It's not the action-based perfection that Dredd or The Raid was. And it's a bit of a bumpy ride. When the human characters are on screen it's kinda cliche and predictable but it still works.

But it's like they replaced the whole cast and crew whenever you have the pilots suited up; it becomes a completely different movie. Not even with the giant robot fights, it's like somebody put in a completely different movie.

Now since the giant robot fights are why you're ever going to go see this: they're amazing. It's not predictable, it's lovingly and gorgeously done, the 3D is good if you see it in that, it's pretty well shot. I didn't see it with 3D IMAX and I actually really regret that because it would have been holy **** amazeballs awesome.

One oddity: the Japanese Jager advertized in posters has very little screentime, and I'm kind of guessing Coyote Tango appeared at all. I think it was Idris Elba's first ride but you never get a good look at it.

Spoiler:
I was actually surprised they didn't kiss at the end, but walking out of the theater it makes sense. The Drift, which is the neural connection that makes working a Jager possible, requires two pilots who are, in effect, sharing everything. Kissing? Sex? If you've Drifted with someone, any other expression of intimacy is meaningless.

My other thought is that if they stage a prequel, it will be amazing. To put it into perspective the movie is at the Hail Mary play of the Jager program, when there are only four operational units left because all the others have been lost in action. At the height of the Jager program Anchorage, Alaska had a giant robot detailed specifically to its defense. Hong Kong had thirty Jagers stationed there. The possibility of seeing a thirty-Jager deployment is pretty much SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

A lot of things have happened in this week....

Yesterday I went into an accident while trying to learn my newly bought scooty. (Yeah I am 16 so I can learn to drive.)
Got severe wounds and a fracture(dislocaton) in my left hand. Today I went into an operation to fix that dislocation. I feel lucky that I survived my first operation.
Now I can browse on the internet or so, but I can't play games on my PC for 20-30 day at least or more....... :(

I placed second in the StarCraft tournament, but I feel as though I did well. I eliminated three other players, making it to the finals and even becoming the MVP of the tournament, accumulating the most skill points in the tournament.

At 1 PM today I'll be duking it out in Quake III, but I suspect this will be a much smaller tournament. I'm hoping for similar results, but hopefully I'll actually win this one!

I placed first (of eight people) in the Quake III Arena tournament. There were three rounds and I placed first in all three; original eight players, then top five players, then top three players. The convention is over now though, unfortunately. Perhaps I am falling victim to recentism, but I think this may have been my best convention yet (of the three I've been to). Mostly because of the people I went with.

When I saw the first trailer I thought it would be nothing more than a popcorn action flick, not necessarily a bad thing, but also nothing special. I've heard nothing but good things about the movie though and might end up seeing it when it hits Netflix. Glad you liked it!

Double post.

I picked up an Alienware laptop for dirt cheap during my annual training from the supply sergeant trying to get rid of it.  I paid $500 for the unopened, unused, brand new laptop.  I tried playing World of Tanks on it to put it through a shakedown session.  Set the graphics options to roughly medium, but maxed the draw distance and upped to the improved graphics.

Now, World of Tanks is a notoriously badly optimized and resource intensive game on the graphics side of things for what it brings to the table.  This new computer, instead of the 10-15 FPS I'm used to on my other laptop, gave me OVER ONE HUNDRED FORTY FPS on much higher settings.

All settings are now at maximum.  Let's see how this goes.

Rest of the family on vacation, me staying behind (at my own request), means I get to take care of all the pets.

Not so bad, except my sister's dog won't leave me the **** alone. No matter where I go, she follows. She's even taken to sneaking into my bedroom at night (where she knows she is not allowed) because she doesn't want to be alone.

It is really annoying. I don't mind dogs most of the time, but I want my space, dammit!

Just saw Pacific Rim.

It is quite definitely the best film of its kind. If you have any interest whatsoever in Mecha, Kaiju, or Ron Perlman, you need to see this movie.

I really want to go see it again, which is...honestly I think the last movie I saw twice in the theater was Dredd, and the one before that was probably freaking Gettysburg, back in the early '90s.

I received a promotion at work today and am now officially working full time. Though I will probably have to go back to working part time in a few weeks, since I'll be going to school in the mornings. I don't really like working mornings anyway, but it's more money.

What a tool (http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/07/17/19510080-graham-us-should-consider-olympic-boycott-over-possible-snowden-asylum)

There are plenty of things wrong with this, but the one that's at the tip of my tongue is this slob basically asking:

"Hi US Olympic athletes I know you've spent years training for the Winter Games, devoted your lives to your particular pursuit, and most of you really have only one shot at this but you know this Snowden fellow got egg all over our faces and the Pinko Commie Russians maybe won't give him back.  Granted I'm not sacrificing anything by demanding this, other than looking like an immature child having a tantrum, but please sacrifice your careers so all of 'Murrica" can behave like bawling child and stick it to the Reds."

Just found out that, even though I have a recurring subscription with my phone for unlimited texting, I've been charged 25 cents per outgoing and incoming text by Telus the past week. Explains why I can't text anymore; my account, which had 20 bucks in it, is now empty.

They are getting a very angry phone call today. This is at least the third time I've had my service ****ed up because of these account bugs.

If you're drooling, you're more likely to not have morning breath.

Quote from: MentalFloss http://mentalfloss.com/article/51348/what-causes-morning-breath
In our waking hours, our own saliva washes away the bacteria before they can do their smelly damage; when we fall asleep, our saliva production calls it a night, too.  In the absence of much saliva, the VSC-causing bacteria run wild, and the sulfuric compounds build up until their grand unveiling in the morning.

Finished putting together an AMD A4-5300 based upgrade for my Aunt. May not seem like an upgrade to most, but she was coming from a 2005 vintage Athlon single core with 512mb of RAM and an onboard Nvidia chip that had never even seen a reinstall. Coming from that, any modern platform at all and 4gb of RAM is a huge upgrade.

For that matter, it felt plenty snappy to me. Even using the old hard drive and case to save money, Windows, Firefox, program installers all loaded pretty quickly. All she uses it for is Facebook, videos, and casual games for the most part. I'd be perfectly satisfied with that system as a cheap HTPC or office system.

Get the **** out of Pennsylvania.
**** Ohio.  **** Ohio.  **** Ohio.
I don't even remember Indiana.  What the **** is in that state, anyway?
Illinois was... alright!
Iowa is not nearly as flat as I had expected.  Also there's **** tons of wind farms.
Minnesota has lots of lakes.
South Dakota is desolate!  Stayed in the Badlands overnight.  Go see that place, it's awesome.  It's like another ****ing planet.
WHY OHMING IS ****ING BORING.  Pretty, though.
Montana is beautiful!
*6 hours later*
Montana is still beautiful!
Idaho has trees!  Unfortunately some of them appear to be on fire. :<
Eastern Washington.  THERE IS NOTHING OUT HERE WHAT THE ****.  No wait, I see a dust devil!  More dust devils!  DUST DEVILS EVERYWHERE.
Western Washington.  Holy **** there are TREES and GRASS and WATER and BATHROOMS, HNNNNG

This has been a good road trip and I have learned much about our great nation.

Sat there as if to say "what's wrong with my gift?" head cocked sideways. Our blue merle collie kelpie cross came in, saw it, went "SQUEEEEEE!!!","omnomnom" then sauntered off. New Afghanistan rescue dog looked at me with disgust for not eating it first and letting his younger sister take it. He is now sleeping in the front room with his back to me radiating contempt.

Semantics is fun sometimes.  qazwsx and some others were talking about something to do with EVE on IRC.  qazwsx stated that some group called Pandemic Legion was an alliance, not a coalition.  Not knowing that Alliances and Coalitions are a game mechanic, I was trying to understand the nature of his statement.  "Coalition" comes from Latin 'co-' (together), 'alo' (I advance, e.g. a cause).  "Ally" means to unite or connect.  Therefore "alliance" is more general than "coalition," the latter being a subset of the former--an alliance formed with the intent to further a cause (such as their own dominance).  From my limited understanding of EVE and of the conversation, it seemed to me than just about every alliance in the game (and this one in particular) would be a coalition by that definition.

I haven't played EVE in two years, but I'm pretty sure they're technically mutually exclusive definitions existing in the game's convoluted gui-ahem, "corporations" mechanic.

From my limited understanding of EVE and of the conversation, it seemed to me than just about every alliance in the game (and this one in particular) would be a coalition by that definition.

An alliance is a game-mechanical entity. A coalition, as a grouping of alliances, is not.

the trick is to keep her motor going until she wants actual cock. women are greedy, if they think they can have more than one they will stick around. after 2 or 3 its "omg give me that cock!". this is how you turn blatant exploitation into actual sex.

tldr: tongue, snatch, fight!

relationships are for women. as a man, your sole task is getting laid. if a woman you are screwing wants to hitch up, go for it, as that usually (but not necessarily) means more sex. if you go into a relationship being all nice and acting like a girl, the women are going to find someone that acts like a guy to sleep with while blatantly exploiting your niceness by stringing you along. find flirty women with poor judgement, lax self discipline, and a bad reputation if they are nice to you ask em flat out if they want to ****. it usually works.

**** being poor.

So Friday night, my bike broke down. Rear gear shifter broke beyond repair, rear wheel in need of replacement, pedals falling apart, all of that ****.
So today, I went to the repair shop and asked them for a quote on the repair, which came out to slightly over 300€. Dude there tells me that it wouldn't really be worth it, that I would be better advised getting a completely new bike. One better suited to my use case (I ride somewhere between 80 and 90 kilometers each week). Which incidentally would cost well north of a thousand euros.

So here's the thing about being poor. There's an analogy I read ages ago, which basically goes like this: A poor man and a rich man both buy a pair of shoes. But whereas the rich man spends 100€ on a pair that lasts him a couple years, the poor man buys a pair for 30€ that last a couple months. By the time the rich man has to replace his pair, the poor man has spent a lot more on his shoes in the end.
Same thing here. I can't afford a new bike (Or rather, the new bikes that I could afford will be just as bad as the one I am repairing now, meaning I would have to replace it after a couple months too). I can't even get a ****ing credit to finance a better bike, cos guess what? Poor people have debts. Debts make your credit rating go down. No credit rating, no financing, meaning more expenses down the line.

**** this ****. **** all of you who believe that free market capitalism cures all ills. **** every single one of you who believes that being poor is something you can get out of by sheer force of personality and derring-do. **** this system that is almost perfectly designed to keep people who are down right where they are.

I know that feel. Living in Canada and being where I am transit really isn't an option. So people need cars. But I can only afford bottom of the barrel vehicles, so I end up with lots of repairs. Which end up costing more than a much better vehicle over time, but I couldn't finance anything. Yay for 50 thousand in student debt.

I would ask for help from my parents, but their car is in much worse shape, as is their finances. And so more often than not I end up helping them. Which leaves me with even less to spend improving my own position.

if you were really poor you would fix it yourself :D
find your inner redneck, a roll of duct tape and some wd-40.
problem solved.

that said if your bike is still under warranty you should be able to call the number on the sticker and order replacement parts. you would of course have to install them yourself.

on the subject of impaling the rich. before i decided to live off the government (while simultaneously trying to overthrow it), and actually had a job (building/repairing bikes), they only felt the need to pay me $10-$20 per repair. so i started itemizing the repair lists and charging a repair per item. my boss didnt like that, said that i could only charge one repair per bike no matter how shredded it was. i also discovered that some of the bikes i was repairing were being put back on the shelf and sold as new. after that i just stopped doing repairs, and i quit a few months later.

not to mention some of the lower end bikes come out of the box irreparably damaged. things bent, rims not true, shifting systems not installed correctly, screw holes that come stripped (****ing alloy ****). most of it was stuff i could fix, but i had cases where i had 6 bikes that i couldnt get paid for because i had to wait 6 weeks for parts. by the time the parts game the store had lost one, destroyed two others, and sold the last one.

schwinns were nice, they always slapped together, they were never broke, and they actually calibrate their break and derailer systems before they ship them, so less i had to do. verticals were on the other end of the spectrum, they are just utter crap.

All the duct tape in the world will not help repair a rear gear shift that is twisted and bent and has succumbed to material fatigue at its mounting points. It will also not help repair a rear wheel that has broken spokes. Nor will it fix pedals that have broken due to material fatigue. Or make brake pads work again.

Trust me, if I had the ability to mount all of these things myself and trust that the result would hold up, I would do so. This duct tape repair scheme would inevitably fail within a very short amount of time, either through material failure or by not passing an encounter with traffic cops. Things may be different out in the alaskan wilderness, but around here, we have a lot of bored cops who can and will stop you and give you a ticket.

the duct tape thing is kind of a joke. but the parts hotline will send you pretty much anything that isnt frame. they will send you an entire rear rim assembally or an entire crankset. as for mechanical ability if you can turn a screw you have it. anyone can turn screws.

E, this is a conventional bicycle we're talking about, right?

Even a cheap pedal bike should be able to take 15 km/day of riding for a year or two with minimal maintenance before breaking beyond repair.  I know pricing is totally different, but I just got my ancient mountain bike repair for $185, which involved replacing most of the moving parts, and its the first I've done it in about 10 years.

Anyway, sucks dude.  Maybe some YouTube bicycle repairs should be in our immediate future?

What will be in my near future is a bunch of saving up money.

Thanks, all of you, for your support, btw. I should make something clear here: Compared to other poor people, I am actually pretty well off. I have an income that is enough to live on, and I don't have to work myself to the bone to earn it, and given that I am living in a country with a working social support system, this whole thing is more on the order of a serious inconvenience rather than a crippling blow. I'm thankfully not in a position where I have to choose between repairing the bike and starving or something like that.

I do maintain however that not being able to get financing options for better hardware is all kinds of bull**** though.

Very, very direct. There's no running around in circles trying to figure out what she's trying to say, she just outright says it unlike most gals
Never boring to be around and certainly not annoying when she talks
Basically, a pretty great person

To which I did absolutely nothing to attract. That's twice I've put no effort, and it turns out to something

Last I looked at the twelve bikes my family owns, there aren't many screws on a bike.

well the parts certainly aren't nailed together.
No, they're not. They're welded together.

you completely missed the point, when i said anyone can turn screws, i meant that mechanical aptitude is fairly easy to acquire. not to indicate that bikes have many screws (they do, but they generally just hold the derailers together and things on your handlebars).

Incredibly disappointed with my college's new policy of canceling all classes that have less than 15 students. They canceled my state government class, so I had to rush to find another to take at the last minute. Luckily International Relations was still open, so I'm taking that instead. International relations has 14 people in it now (including me), so I hope this one doesn't get canceled too (if we don't find one more student in the next three weeks).

I'm still technically a virgin in the sense that vaginal penetration has not happened

Put it this way: I'm perfectly happy not being with anyone, but one party later and someone coming up to me going "So I totally have this thing for you" and starts this fling... can't really complain since A) No effort required B) No emotional crap

So usually, I'd default to what you do
But this is so convenient, I just can't pass it up

I dunno. I would have trouble maintaining a "friends with benefits" relationship because any sense of affection I had for her would very quickly morph into infatuation and it would just turn into a regular sexual relationship with less commitment then usual. After all, sexual attraction is pretty much the only thing that separates a romantic relationship from a very strong friendship.

Ended up having to stay back til 12:30am at work (it's only an extra half an hour, but still) because the guy I was on with didn't want to do the items on the cleaning list the boss recently put up (and which is intended to be NOT the manager's responsibility (so not mine)). Oh and he decided to throw in some ad hominems at me because I'm Christian.

I wouldn't be associated otherwise :P

The funny part being is she's got five years on me physically, but as she's mentioned I've got way more than her mentally
The discussion with her best friend was "He's smarter than the both of us combined"
So clearly I'm doing something right

I was in the same situation with my ex. She was two years older but five years mentally younger. As long as she doesn't act like a child, though, that's alright.

He raises Australian wildlife for the AWFR (Australian Wildlife Fighting Ring). We got banned from the USWFR because our animals are too dangerous. :P

Seriously, we once dropped a koala into a fight with a brown bear. The bear wailed on it for a couple hours while the koala slept through it, then it woke up, slashed the bear once with bloody great big claws and bam, bear died of chlamydia. True story.

And that's not even starting on the kangas and their disemboweling kicks or the dropbears who, rather than fighting, ate the entire crowd in their first and only match.

Nah, we're not involved with the animals, but the caretakers up here are raising this one after the mother was shot - given that they live in the pouch, they tend to be found with the mum if they're too young to look after themselves. So it's theoretically just visiting, but the reality will likely be that she'll end up hanging around the camp when she grows up.

Short answer is, well, No. :(

Long answer... well, the minerals industry is a boom and bust industry pretty much by its nature. It's intimately tied up with global financial conditions, which drive commodity prices as well as investor sentiment (which is critical for most exploration companies). Right now, the gold price has dropped precipitously, which has hurt a lot of smaller producers/near producers and really hammered the gold explorers without a solid resource. Iron ore, while it looks OK for the big guys producing, has serious questions over long term demand, especially with so much supply coming online, which is making the industry (and the associated financial markets) very skittish - minor fluctuations in the prices lead to panic on the Terrace, and suddenly hundreds of people lose their jobs.

Gold and Iron ore have, for a long time, been the two biggest players in the WA minerals industry. With both of them in less than ideal health, people are being forced into peripheral industries (like Nickel, rare earths etc.) where conditions are different, not neccesarily better - Nickel's not great, and notoriously volatile, REEs are the flavour of the month but have the feel of a bubble about them, Manganese has done OK, base metals have mostly done OK, other things like diamonds and uranium are outside my expertise if I'm honest. The net result, though, is that there are a lot of people either out of work or working in areas that they're not experienced in. Geoscientist unemployment was, last I checked, around double the overall state unemployment rate.

Additionally, construction is winding down in the major projects, so engineers and surveyors and the like are affected to, especially as the gold price slowly but inexorably starts to close up marginal mines, leaving people with (often) a lot of experience chasing work with the newbies. Overall, the attitude at the moment is to find a job, keep your head down and hang on to it. I can;t in good conscience recommend the industry to anyone right now.

But.

Like I said, it's a boom and bust industry. I was lucky - I came out at the height of the pre-GFC boom, and rode out the GFC, then caught the second spike before the current downturn. If you're not looking to get into the industry for a few years, I honestly couldn't even pretend to predict how it's going to look then, althoughmy instinct is that things will stay volatile, but be slightly better, if for no other reason than the downturn will force out a lot of people here on 457s if they can't find work, shrinking the pool over time. But that wont mean much unless the sector generally picks up, and that can change in an instant if China or the US or the EU do something silly. So, yeah, no predictions really mean much at this point.

Sorry if I wasn't much help. :p

One of the Sous-Chefs comes up to me (he usually does this offer to entice me back to work) and gave me what I considered an offer I couldn't refuse

One work shift
4-12, full eight hours
12 dollars an hour (75 cents more than my original) paid in cash

12 dollars an hour (75 cents more than my original) paid in cash
6 pack of beer from his own pocket

Had to say yes

Sounds like a damn good deal, congratulations! That's nearly twice what I make at my job an hour.

KTM announced that they're bringing the RC390 over to the US.

Considering that it'll be (relatively) inexpensive: HHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Going to my first track day in a couple of months. Should be interesting, and by interesting I mean I'm probably gonna crash, but that's okay, because everyone does.

My cousin gave me an incredible wall-mounted CD player! I'm not mounting it on my wall, but that doesn't negate how awesome of a gift this is! Now I just need some CDs, all I really have right now are the soundtracks to Star Wars, Descent and Persona 3. Oh and a mixed CD my brother just made for me.

I love watching a good thunderstorm. Few things beat reading a good book in my garage or uncle's carport with a beer and a cigar, all the while rain pummels the earth and lightning illuminates the sky.

So just did a little math, and it seems that I'll be getting paid £6.95 an hour with my new job. My first job. As a sales apprentice.

Guys I think the Devil will be after me soon, trying to get his luck back.

Edit: The standard Apprentice wage is £2.65 an hour.

How the **** does anyone live on the wage you're being paid, nevermind the standard wage?  Last I checked the cost of living in the UK is just as high as it is here.  Manchester cannot be all that much cheaper in terms of housing, food, etc than London (or Newscastle, where my wife's family lives, for that matter).

*is seriously perplexed*

Are these wages being supplemented by another job, student loans, social programs, etc?

Having boatloads of fun in the Ardennes (in and around Coo at the moment, as well as visits to nostalgia-village, also known as Aywaille, where I finished my first geological field work. Pity I can no longer study in that field.). I'm soere and ache all over from the intense physical exhaustian (For me at least, I have been twiddling my thumbs ever since I got kicked off the geology study) - and I am loving it.

Good to hear you are doing well, Deathfun, keep it up! Best wishes to everyone else too.

I live in London, I was only there for two weeks training.

 And housing benefit, the fact that I'm not being taxed for the first few months, the fact that I live at home with my mum and that there are some odd government apprenticeship scheme-stuff is going on that will help protect my earnings for a little longer all add up to being able to keep my head comfortably (if barely) above water -barring any sort of significant financial crisis within the household.

I won't be driving anything other than my friends and family up the wall, but it's a livable wage. And chances are that before the year is out, it'll be rising greatly as the company can offer my a full time contract at any point, as long as they see i'm worth the money.

I've had this campaign idea floating around in my head (and, for a brief spate, a couple missions before my computer went down like... three years ago) about a character driven campaign that centers on one pilot in the GTVA, who is ostensibly a normal pilot with little to do in the Post-Capella relative "peace".  Enter the plot device, an AI that commands him to do steadily more extreme and subversive things, in the name of keeping himself alive.  Essentially, overtly altering his objectives and directives in order to suit its own goals, while making his life easier if he complies, or harder if he doesn't.  The title for the campaign is tentatively "Alternate Instructions".

Well that's different. But how does this AI have any power over him?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over <number goes here> (posts)
Post by: Scotty on August 04, 2013, 07:48:11 pm
Making his life harder if he doesn't.  Things like friendly warships "misreading" his IFF, or shipments of supplies going missing, or a loud "SHOOT ME" broadcast from his fighter that draws missiles like a bug lantern.

The idea is that accomplishing the altered objectives generates a value related to that objective's worth in points, in one of several ways.  Either in one absolute variable, which covers general adherence to the altered instructions, and is either positive or negative, granting either positive or negative effects, or in two variables, one of which measures completing objectives, and one of which measures ignoring objectives.  Having a higher complete score would grant bonuses (or take away penalties), while having a higher ignore score would make life hell.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over <number goes here> (posts)
Post by: Lorric on August 04, 2013, 07:51:37 pm
So where is the AI? I presume it's not in his fighter if it can disrupt supplies. But if it has the power to do things with his fighter like this and more, why does it even need him?

Isn't this pretty much GTVA command during the FS2 campaign? At least that's how I remember it from that time the Sath was heading to the node in the nebula and we were ordered to pull out while I was avoiding death by laser spam and slow subspace and the guy got all: "You didn't jump out three seconds ago when I said so? fine, frak you pilot; I am sabotaging your subspace drive because you tried to avoid death so you can die." And the best part? I had killed the last Shivan ship and pressed the jump combo a second before that message. My jump charge was aborted.

Long time no post - wonderful Modern Art History and Childhood Ethics classes are reducing my brain to a quibbling mass.

Was force to read two beautiful books: http://www.amazon.com/Trust-Process-Artists-Guide-Letting/dp/1570623570 and this http://www.amazon.com/The-Magic-Reality-Really-ebook/dp/B0078XFYDA/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1

The latter book was helpful because it puts Modern Art in a much more understandable context, nearly hit my head on a wall reading the other one... I dunno, the problem is Dawkins is forcing kids to view the world from an adult perspective, and I'm not the only one in the class who actually felt uncomfortable after finishing it: Have we really gone that low to deprive kids of their own imagination and devices?

If any of you have kids, the question I raise is do we force an adult perspective on them, or do we let them discover on their own? The problem is this book presents a very narrow definition, clothed in scientific sheepskin, of Scientism. Sure it looks cute and cuddly, but it almost has a propagandist tone.

There's one thing I hate, and that's propaganda.

Philosophy debates, scientific rambling aside and ideas aside... I really think Dawkins has lost it, and now I have to write an editorial paper... this is gonna be nasty. And I actually dug up a quick jab by the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jun/24/magic-reality-richard-dawkins-review

Its already established I don't like Dawkins... but after reading this crap, my personal conclusion he is a crazy 'ol bandicoot. We just need to make him a seat next to the flying spaghetti monster so these two myths can fly side by side.

Back to paper bashing. Edit: Going to start a drinking game after rereading this book.

Goods News: I wish I was fully drunk. Seven shots, in still typing with a little clumsiness.

Re-read the stupid book, drank several shots and even threw some old fashioned Egg Nog and a shot of whiskey. Dawkins is an idiot: Oh, look at all these myths I"M GONNA PROVE'EM ALL WRONG! SCIENCE BIATCHES! WOHOOO! I"M A POSTIVIST RELIC, HELL YEAH! Innocently, it's an easy explanation of science for families, not with a too subtle plug for a purely puerile physicalist POV that would even make Euclidean geometry attempt to resuscitate itself.

Christ, this drivel is going to make me a fully fledged bible thumper if it wasn't for the retarded cutesy illustrations. But on an artistic note, I'm insulted several times over. I think we need to start kids reading Mein Kampf too and a little Soviet Social Realism, eh?

POWER TO SCIENCE POLITBURO! TO THE GULAGS TO THOSE WHO REJECT POSITIVIST ABSOLUTISM!

Bah, when I'm done with this paper I seriously want to toilet paper my professor's office. The answer is I'm over overreacting, but actually for the first time I feel truly insulted as a rational human being. When we go after "Myths" and try to break them down into science? Ignorance is borne. First they come for our myths, then they went after our faeries, and then it'll be philosophy. XP

When I hit the last chapter of why "**** happens to us!" I'm probably going triple dip in the whiskey.

Edit: Eight shots nao, more coming, I intend to finish this dumb thing even if it means seeing pink elephants!

I prefer being catapulted into the sun, that way my remaining atoms will be fused with Sol in an illustrious union of man and fusion love.

To make matters worse, we'd been covering in Modern Art History a brief, and hilarious segment about Nazi and Soviet propaganda and talking about propaganda. It makes things worse when two separate subjects inconveniently meet.

Currently at ten shots.

Hell, i'm not into porn, but I may get a porn flick or two to scrub my brain of this book.

Edit: Yes, typing while intoxicated and writing a mean spirited editorial is huuuurd!

Never heard of a book having that kind of effect before. But then I suppose normally you wouldn't be forced to read one. When I was at school we had books imposed upon us from time to time, but they were normally just a grind to get through. Reading an uninteresting story. Nothing to worm it's way under your skin though.

Learning to trust the process was actually decoupling oneself from subject matter and to an extent, enter a meditative state while doing artwork. I now highly recommend it to both non-artists and artists alike.

But when you start dealing with a physcalist twerp who has the philosophical credentials of a 99 cent whore trying to write a children's book, that's where you draw a line between: douche and douchebag. Scientific explanations of events make sense, but it gets condescending afterwards when Dawkin's thinks he can pull a 180 and try to sound like a French revolutionary caught between a guillotine and a potential revolution to spread.

Just another minor note: Egg Nog with burning! Hell yeah!

Edit: Well, I know the alcohol is hitting home!

Third day at work proper, and already a small dislike of the manager is forming. After finishing all my work for the day five minutes before the end of my shift and logging out, the guy ups and tells me that in the future I should sit like a dick in the breeze until 17:00 exactly before even beginning to log out and get my **** together.

The funny thing is that he's not even my manager! I'm working for the sister company of the one that he works for and all the people that I have to answer to, live in Manchester and Wolverhampton. And the funny thing is that my line manager AND MD told me last week that as long as we get enough work done, myself and the girl that works with me can leave up to an hour before we're contracted to, so long as we don't take the piss.

It's a small thing, and my boss did ask me to try and build more bridges between our companies, but it's bugged me that he might start trying to treat me like one of his subordinates.


In other news, my quite hot female co-apprentice told me how much she loves freaky, flat out tell me that she's straight and describe how she knows this, and had the other people in the office make bets on whether I'll get beaten to death or married to aforementioned co-apprentice and how long it'll take.

So all in all, it's been a good day with a single sour note at the end that jarred the me out of my groove.

You're working towards going from being an apprentice to an employee, right? Okay, this was just 5mins, no problem, you wouldn't be able to, but if you end up finishing your work early, see if there's anything else you can do. Go the extra mile and make an impression. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Take it! :D

i hate it when a manager for a company you dont work for thinks they can **** around in your buisness. reminds me of my bike building contract, the one where i never met my actual boss. store managers think that they can dictate your hours or how much work you do (i was on commission so fast builds were preferable for me, i could easily pull $40 an hour if i really wanted it) or whether or not you come into work stoned out of your mind. i broke every one of that prick's rules just to point out that he wasn't my boss. then walmart came and ruined everything.

Yes..."Interesting" is the word. I'm still deciding if I want to try and get with her or not. On one hand she's hot and quick witted. On the other hand; she's quick witted and works with me, a bad combo if things go south.

Also, my workload is decided for me and emailed from Manchester by my manager who has to juggle his workload while helping out two newbs, so it takes a while for the work to reach me. hell, I actually asked for more this morning, and it never turned up otherwise I'd have been busy right up until about 10 mins after my shift.

And as much as I'd love to emulate you in this regard, Nuke, I can't. I've been told by the Managing Directors of the company to do exactly not that :/

the amusing thing is i wasnt fired. i ended up quitting. boss didnt want to get a contract with walmart on political grounds. they were undercutting the bike prices, and instead of matching it the store decided to reduce their bike inventory, which would mean less work for me. someone said i should go get a buisness license and find a lawyer to write me up a contract of my own, and go freelance, but i didnt like the job enough to do that. instead i handed the contract over to an older gentleman who smelled like a bum and told the managers that he will get the hang of it, eventually.

I would just play it cool if you've only just met her. She isn't going anywhere. And anyway, she might just come for you, she sounds very forward... :)

FireSpawn, in my experience, when there is mutual chemistry and apparently mutual interest, it is better to express that interest sooner [the worst she can say is she's not interested] than wait for some magical ideal moment.  Ideal moments don't happen in the real world.  If she's into you and you click together, things will go well.  If they don't, they don't.  That's life.  Take chances and make mistakes, this is a game with no checkpoints and no saves =)

Fairly disappointed right now. I spent the last week trying to find one of my co-workers to switch shifts with me and when I finally do (rather painstakingly), she doesn't accept my request. She said that I waited "until the last minute," but I put in my request on Wednesday (the request is for Saturday).

I was really hoping to spend time with a friend I don't get to see very often. Oh well.

So, after getting hammered writing my dumb editorial, my professor loved it. She commented happily this the first time a book has managed to get a student close to drunk, which I really tried to do.

I sadly finished the paper before seeing pink elephants, and escaping a hangover to so I could supposedly forget the ordeal. My liver and bladder took vengeance instead.

Regardless, I'm going to burn that retarded book and use its ashes to a paint a pipe. So my only utterance is: Screw Physical Materialism, May the New Atheists burn in vague linguistic hell, and Screw Academia for allowing frauds to write children's books. I encourage all atheists, hard and soft, to take Dawkin's book, burn it, plant it, cut it up, even make a monument out of it and worship it. That's what I'm doing, and encourage anyone who has half a brain to destroy all regalia associated with four horseman of frauds, spoon-feeding priests of positivism and champions of all that is anti-intellectual.

Death to Faetheism!

Joking aside, I really am going to paint a pipe with its ashes. My teacher loved my drivel where I went on a two page disparage of Dawkin's previous philosophical hodunkery, and it smells like alcohol because I left booze near it. It didn't take her that long to fully understand I really disprove of Dawkins after all is said and done. The paper even pissed of the resident New Aetheists in class, so I feel vindicated, and they tried to accuse me of being "anti-science" I retorted by reminding them that people like Dawkins only exist because of our willingness to be spoon fed like hoards at a Mass and they were in fact anti-intellectuals for supporting outmoded ideas killed in the 70s, so not all is bad.

So, after getting hammered writing my dumb editorial, my professor loved it. She commented happily this the first time a book has managed to get a student close to drunk, which I really tried to do.

I sadly finished the paper before seeing pink elephants, and escaping a hangover to so I could supposedly forget the ordeal. My liver and bladder took vengeance instead.

Regardless, I'm going to burn that retarded book and use its ashes to a paint a pipe. So my only utterance is: Screw Physical Materialism, May the New Atheists burn in vague linguistic hell, and Screw Academia for allowing frauds to write children's books. I encourage all atheists, hard and soft, to take Dawkin's book, burn it, plant it, cut it up, even make a monument out of it and worship it. That's what I'm doing, and encourage anyone who has half a brain to destroy all regalia associated with four horseman of frauds, spoon-feeding priests of positivism and champions of all that is anti-intellectual.

Death to Faetheism!

Joking aside, I really am going to paint a pipe with its ashes. My teacher loved my drivel where I went on a two page disparage of Dawkin's previous philosophical hodunkery, and it smells like alcohol because I left booze near it. It didn't take her that long to fully understand I really disprove of Dawkins after all is said and done. The paper even pissed of the resident New Aetheists in class, so I feel vindicated, and they tried to accuse me of being "anti-science" I retorted by reminding them that people like Dawkins only exist because of our willingness to be spoon fed like hoards at a Mass and they were in fact anti-intellectuals for supporting outmoded ideas killed in the 70s, so not all is bad.

just embrace nihilism, its easier and doesnt require reading any stupid books.

He's wrong, and a bigot. Even a rational person should be able to figure that out. But he's got a fan club.

i've had too many idiots tell me he's a beacon of rationality and reason and try to convert me to their camp during my so-called atheist days. Also, working in linguistics (which I sometimes regret for those two years) permanently lead to my vilification of New Atheism as a bastion of self-deserving ignorance. Some people even game me copies of the "God Delusion" expecting me to suck up his woeful logic and philosophical idiocy. Studying Logical Positivism only made it worse, I figured out where the four car salesman got their manuals and gear, and even now I still scratch my head at why Hilary Putnam was aghast with them.

He's a charlatan, a seller of snake oil. He promises people happiness by endowing them with rational enlightenment... the problem is he lacks integrity and introspect. This is why many philosophers have panned him. As for his book... its propaganda, flat and simple. If he thinks he can simply deconstruct old myths and legends and try to rehash it as "scientific" inquiry, he's effectively spit on everything we are, could and may be. The other is that book is nothing more religious pandering guised as "science." It's called pushing our ideas on kids, and I'm vehemently against such things. I've seen it with religious and right wing books, this is no exception.

Simply put, he and his kind need to be challenged, critiqued, and beat back. They failed philosophy 101 and I think it's time more atheists and agnostic step up to the plate and take a few swings too.

I.E. Attack Graeco-Roman myths and I will roar in wrath of a thousand angry Classicists.

That's long on hate and extremely short on actual explanation. (And it's not self-supporting. Why is examining old myths from that perspective not science? Is it that it's not from the right perspective? Do you reject the idea categorically? What?)

Oh, right. Yeah, wouldn't want to upset the philosphers. They might go on strike, and then where would we get our... err...

Let the angry philosophers go off and talk about it amongst themselves for the next century or so - they're fine, they don't mess up the world the way religion does. Fact is that he's doing the right thing in getting people off religion. If he's going about it in a sub optimal way, well, I can handle that as long as it gets results, and indications are that it is. So more power to him I say.

I'll just shut up and accept the damn medicine, sorry.

Point is this: we need a sensible approach to understand and comprehending religion: philosophy is that tool, to an extent, myth was a tool to convey story and lesson. Here, the myths are being taken literally. I don't fault the science, but I question the context of the book. It's the same reason I call out literalism of Christian tradition as well.

The reason I took the thing so badly is because I study myth, art, and to extent symbolism... and to be honest, I think the book misses the point of explaining science in this regard. There are better ways of introducing children to science then trying to tear down old myths and replace them with scientific explanations. You have to approach it differently, but my problem is at the end of the day, the most rational methods are usually not the best. And I think kids are pretty smart enough they can make their own judgement calls after a period of time.

Edit: As for the image in the post above, I'm keeping that up. XP

From the very little of Dawkins I've read and/or listened to - or seen used by other people - I can understand Clucker's frustration if not agree with his line of reasoning.  I think Dawkins tends to do science - and by extension, rationalism - a disservice in his approach.  Science is supposed to be both rational and dispassionate.  Dawkins regularly fails in the latter category.

For scientists - among them theists, atheists, and agnostics - seeking a conciliatory approach to human understanding, Dawkins is more enemy than friend.  It's why I've tended to avoid his works.

@Nuke: a "prophet" is someone who makes prophecies. I wasn't aware Dawkins dabbled in that sort of thing.



I was watching a playthrough of a game on YouTube, and got hooked on the story (and to a lesser extent the music)... but this particular youtuber didn't even get 1/3 of the way through the game. And other youtubers who went further either did voice-overs I didn't want to listen to, were using foreign language versions, or skipped through the story too fast to read the text. Now I want this game :(

What game, you ask? Why the frowny face, you ask? And why would it be worse to watch a lets play with voice-overs than a playthrough without any narration? How peculiar...

I finally get a job.
A job that pays better than anything I was expecting to get, and with a very real possibility of progression to a more than comfortable wage after my apprenticeship ends.
I finally meet a girl that doesnt have habits or a mindset that causes my stomach to churn or lose hope for humanity.
I got a new puppy.

Things are looking UP for me the first significant and meaningful time in my life....

And then reality drops a large steaming, carrot and sweetcorn loaded turd all over my good fortune sundae.

Seriously, what's the point in trying to better my quality of life when it seems that the universe is trying it's hardest to keep it at a steady level of "Mediocre bordering with occasional ****-storms? Why should I even keep on trying? Why do I keep on trying to care for a world filled with deviants and murderers?

Why does one event make everything feel like with ever step I take forewards, people I care for pay for it?

It is going well with me and the girl, and I wouldn't let myself get this worked up over a girl I've only known for less than a month.
I both want to talk about it, but don't at the same time.

Suffice to say, don't worry too much about me. I'm just tired. And let's face it, hard knocks after good times always seem to hurt more.

Oh dear, not good. This is my first real time getting in trouble at work. Well, I don't know if I'm actually in trouble yet, but this could be bad...

I spent all last week looking for someone to switch shifts with me at work (I wanted this Saturday off). Well, I found someone to work for me on Tuesday, which was my last day working before my big three day break. I talked to the person and told them that we both needed to call our manager to confirm this (she also had the next three days off).

Well I called my manager the next day and spoke with her and unfortunately, she turned down my request. Oh well, no biggie, I was just hoping to see a friend who I don't get to hang out with too often, but we can (hopefully) do that a different time. Well, I didn't have the phone number to the girl who I was supposed to work for me, so I couldn't tell her that it was canceled. I figured that since she said that she was going to call our manager, our manager would simply decline the request.

Well, I just received a phone call this morning from my manager, saying that the girl who said she was going to work for me never called her and thinks that she is still working for me (I work this evening, she worked in the morning, so if she did work for me, it would have been a double). Apparently everything is my fault, because I didn't contact the girl and tell her that our boss said "no." But the only reason I didn't, is because she said that she was going to call her a few hours after I did, a promise that she broke. I was under the impression that she called our boss (like she said she would) and asked her for permission (the permission of both people is needed before switching shifts).

Now I'm probably going to be the one to take the heat for this. I admit, I probably should have made more of an effort to get in touch with the girl, even if she did forget to hold up her end of the bargain. I'm a pretty good worker and this is my first time ever really getting in trouble, so I don't think I'll be written up or fired or anything. I am worried that she might cut my hours though, that does seem to be her preferred method of punishment.

I really don't think I've done anything wrong though. I mean, I could have called work and tried to find out the girl's number to call her, but if she held up her end of the deal, there would have been no need. I think that the girl dropped the ball on this one by forgetting...

Well, that was a non-issue. Absolutely nothing happened. Just a "you probably should have called her, but no big deal" kind of thing. My manager is awesome like that.

Anyway, I just found out that my bank sells Six Flags tickets at half price (they're only $35), so I will be going to Six Flags with a very special young woman in the near future. We're shooting for this Friday, but if I can't get off Friday, we'll do it whenever I'm off next.

Also, the meteor shower is tonight (Sunday and Monday), if anyone was interested in seeing that.

Kickass
Space things are generally that
Hopefully it'll be visible where I'm at


As a sidenote: I dislike my cell phone because it's useless. Someone calls me, then it hangs up and says "You have 0$ of airtime". Bull****, I filled that **** up a couple days ago and haven't used any of it

So I called that person back and we talk for an hour. Accurately, the last fifteen or so was me watching a movie with the thing against my ear waiting for the person to fall asleep (to which she kept saying "Don't hang up" until sleep engulfed her)

Also, the drunken person said "I love you" in aforementioned conversation to which I did my best to waltz around as best as possible (three times)



Another thing, trying to make an existing account on Xbox Live being able to connect back to live after a hiatus is ****ing annoying as all ****ing ****. I try to connect, but then it wants a security code to confirm. Three options, email, text, phone. So I use the text option, and type in the code. Fine and dandy? **** no. I have to log into the email account to CONFIRM THAT THE PHONE I TYPED IN IS ME. So why is text even an option? I should just email the damned thing

So I log into the account, which asks me FOR MORE ****ING SECURITY CODES TO CONFIRM THAT I AM WHO I AM LOGGING INTO THE ACCOUNT

And how do they send the security code to log into the account which I need to log into? The email of which I'm trying to ****ING LOG INTO TO GET THE CODE

Seriously, who comes up with this process? Luckily, Microsoft Outlook exists and I use that. I get the code for the email, so I can confirm the code from the phone, and make it say "yes this is the phone etc of which is me"

All of this effort to obtain Banjo Kazooie for my mother who adores the game.

Don't get me started on the points system MS has on Xbox BECAUSE I WILL ****ING STAB THEM AND HARVEST THEIR ORGANS FOR THE BLACK MARKET TO PAY FOR THE EXTRA MONEY I AM FORCED TO PUT INTO BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE GAME IS 200 POINTS MORE THAN 1000 WHICH IS THE CLOSEST OPTION

How did Xbox get such a large bloody following? HOW!?

Used N64, used game cartridge. Not that expensive, and avoids all the MS online bull****.

I already have both just fyi
Well, sorta. Sister is holding onto both console and cartridge for the past eight years.

The version and controller are better on the Xbox and this entire thing would otherwise have been a non-issue if I did this half a year ago
As a sidenote anyhow, getting used still involves more money and effort than just going through the hoops MS has put up

Just one of life's pleasant little moments.

I've just been out for a walk, and just in time I noticed there were lots of ants milling around on the path. I haven't seen ants like that for years, and I went down on one knee to observe them for a moment. Then I stepped off the path to go around them, as they were taking up too much space for me to step over or around them.

While I had been engrossed in the ants, this couple had managed to get fairly close to me without me noticing.

"Too nice to them ants." She said, but she was wearing a warm smile, and I returned it. I then watched them after I passed, and they also stepped off the path to go around the ants. :)

Another instance of "I know more about payment card processing than you and what you just did might get us in trouble with the Payment Card Industry" at work last night.  Supervisor gave a cash refund for payment given with a MasterCard.  I looked in MasterCard's merchant agreement and found out we're not supposed to do that.  Only supposed to give refunds as credit on the same card that payment was taken from.  Oops.

lol. The question was whether or not I would buy it now, given that I only had $350 to last me the next two weeks. However, after carefully weighing my expenses over the next two weeks, I have come the conclusion that I have more than enough money.

Hooray! Here's my first true website: http://www.rebeccachambers.com/

It's an internet forum for Resident Evil, or to be precise, a fan forum for a character in the Resident Evil series. I'm going to wait a few days before launching the website though, since I want to officially launch it with my best friend.

Sex is sex, my man.

But who am I kidding? Sounds like you have standards. You should keep those. I don't know where mine went, but the part where I lost my virginity in a park in a suburb I'd never been to before was definitely indicative of my lack thereof. To be honest I don't even know if that was my first time, as in, I'm not sure if it counted, but that's another story altogether! (Anyone in for story time with Dilmah?)

It's the police... so yes they have every right to take away a gun from someone who's been accused of being a suicide risk

Afterall, part of the screening process to getting a license in the first place asks that question. Course, they never refer back to that despite it being very relevant

I wonder if I was the only forum member who was concerned when you said you'd bought a gun, given the things you've said here on this very issue. Not saying it was necessarily right for them to take it away, mind you.

Although I am not an expert on canadian law, usually the police needs a search warrant - the whole court of law thing has probably already happened.

Went to the zoo today along with some other autistic people. Was not fun. Hoped that it would have been, was quite a bummer.
On the way back I had  a great chat with a stoned marocan, and an Australian tourist (not simultaniosly)

Also, I forgot to mention this, but SPELUNKING IS AWESOME. I was in the ardennes last week, had lots of fun.
There's also this nice woman I met there, hope to meet her again soon this holiday (she is part of the same "instutition" I am), and if that doesn't work, just ask her for a date the old fashioned way (which I am going to do regardless, but still).

It's called Speleology in belgium, actually. I used spelunking since that's the excuse Bruce Wayne gives for needing bulletproof vests.

Indeed, it's a bit scary, but amazingly wonderfull (Especially if you are lying in a cave waiting for someone who is afraid of heights to get up whilst having your arms wrapped arou... ahum). I always liked geology - to experience a part of it in it's most raw form is amazing.
It's also a bit of of a puzzle, in a much better way then say... wall climbing is.

There wasn't anything extreme about the trip I went on, but there were still some pretty narrow spaces to squeeze through. We also had to wade through some cold water, and I remember one guy shouting "Argh! My balls!" Funny. I was juuuuuust tall enough to avoid this, I mean down to the millimeter. The stalactites and stalacmite formations were extremely beautiful with water glistening off them as well. We also all ended up turning off our helmet lights to experience the total darkness. But there was something wondrous about the whole experience.

Pretty much my experience. It's the ideal mix between adventure and aesthatics, and quite tense, but not crippingly so (we had to slide down for 3 meters which was quite exciting to say the least).

Well, it was rather dark, there was a very friendly woman, and eventually she lied down on my torso (After we had some nice chats), which was rather ... interesting.

Also, just ahad a big phone talk with my brother, who was feeling rather down. Now he feels a lot better, and so do I. Alrighty! Back to tuning my Porsche 914/6 GT in NFS: Shift 2 (which is a very fun racing game).

Pretty much my experience. It's the ideal mix between adventure and aesthatics, and quite tense, but not crippingly so (we had to slide down for 3 meters which was quite exciting to say the least).

Ah, I wish I could remember it better, but it's still bringing back memories. The ideal mix between adventure and aethetics, I like that a lot, a very apt description. Sounds like a pretty good marketing slogan to me!  :D

No such shenanigans on my trip, at least as far as I know, though there were a couple of nice girls who were friendly with me. But not that sort of friendly!

A-and I fail. Apparently Six Flags is only open on weekends as of about 5 days ago. I probably should have checked their website first,  but I didn't think they would be closed on a Friday in August.

Oh well, we just went back to Emily's house and she invited me to spend the night. We're going to try again for next Saturday.

finally went to a doctor to check my ear out that's been hurting off and on for a couple months.  of course, i do this on an "off" day and they can't find anything wrong.  except what they say is a lot of wax but didn't really seem like that much to me.  the doc proceeded to dig it out with what must have been one of those dentist pick things.  felt like she was stabbing my ear drum.  now my OTHER ear hurts and hasn't stopped bleeding yet.

Did your other ear start bleeding after you visited the doctor? If so, you may want to consider visiting an urgent care center (or emergency room) or the equivalent in your country. I'm not a doctor, but if your ear is bleeding, I'm pretty sure that means something is seriously wrong.

Eek! I once had the wax cleaned out of my ears as a kid, but they used jets of warm water to do the job. It sounds so backward and medieval what they did to you, and they say don't even put those cotton-tipped stick-things in your ear, and the doc is digging around with one of those...

Gotta go with Nakura on this one. You are bleeding from an orifice that was not designed to do that. I would go to the ER just to be safe.

That sounds really bad. You should probably do something if you haven't already.

And yeah, the only medical wax removal technique I've heard of is the one with water jets that Lorric was talking about. Using a pick sounds like a terrible idea on so many levels. :nono:

Oh yes, the joys of the CA DMV. You could always show up with a good book or mobile game(s) and wait in the line for people without appointments. I think the line can be short depending on the time of day.

Just saw Pacific Rim.

Story and writing were ****, but I didn't expect anything out of that anyway. Kaiju vs Giant Robots, **** YEAH! :D
I saw it a few weeks ago. It dragged in ways that STID didn't, but overall it was a good time. I still don't understand why people couldn't have used cannons to shoot down the kaiju instead of relying on big, expensive robots, given how effective projectile-launching weapons are IRL. Firing cannons wouldn't make for a good movie, though, especially not one with the special effects budget this one must have had.

Spoiler:
It made no sense for the guy to survive at the end. That was probably just to please the audience. Presumably he'll end up dead in the director's cut.

Physics is now down to ~21.1 ms :D It was like 30ms at the beginning of this week. Still a ways to go to get things going 60hz though.

First day of school and Murphy's law is already in full effect. Even though I own a physical copy of the book and registered it online last year, I had to buy the access code for the same exact book again (for $100), simply because it was a year ago. In addition, the purchase says it went through, but the course isn't listed under 'My Courses' for the MyMathLab website.

I e-mailed my teacher and the book company and hope to have this sorted out by Wednesday. I hope all that needs to be done is that the instructor needs to confirm me as his student.

It's stupid, I know. I don't know why I should have to pay nearly a hundred dollars for something I just bought a year ago. Apparently your online access to the book (and by extension, the homework) expires after 6 months though (when the class ends).

The college kind, unfortunately. It was only $92 actually, but that's nothing. College books (where I live anyway) can be upwards of $200 each. I have to pay for all of my books out of pocket too.

Unfortunately you can't pirate this, or well, you could probably pirate the book. But I need the online code to do the online homework for the class, which is online and each class has a different online portal through the book company.

Having just spoken with their support team, they said that it's a known issue and they are working to fix it. Apparently it's caused by too many people using the site at once, causing the server to glitch (or so they say). They said to wait and try again later, and that they would have only billed me if it worked. Eh, I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

the college textbook hustle has gotten worse since i was in school.  every once in a while a textbook had an online access component, but those didn't contain the homework and weren't required.  the universal online homework system had a fee of like $15 per class or there was a flat unlimited one that was cheaper if you had 3 or more classes that used it.  sometimes a 'free' key would be included in the class's textbook if you bought it new.  i guess the digital textbook thing was just catching on.  some books were available as e-books for a little bit cheaper, but i don't know what the format was, or if it was permanent or a license kind of thing.

if the books WERE 'required' by the professor, you could almost always get by without it.  the most common way we got ****ed by the book publishers was them issuing new editions every couple years where the only thing that changed were the practice/homework problems, thus making sure you couldn't get a used version if the professor assigned homework from the book.  i learned pretty quickly to not buy any 'required' books until a week or two into the semester, after finding out if they were REALLY required, and if the professor would work with you if you didn't have/had an old edition of the book.

Now it seems like most classes have a required online component, and it virtually always costs money to use and your 'license' to use it expires when the class ends. My college seems to use the exact same publisher for almost all of their books, including the online component, so it's more streamlined and you don't have to remember 10 different login names and passwords, but it also means that they can charge just about anything they want and you're forced to buy it.

Also, good point about the whole "required books" thing, I've been burned on that a few times. I remember spending nearly a hundred dollars on a "required book" for my astronomy class, only to never use the book. I also bought the book for my gym class, but never used it. This was particularly a waste since the only reason I bought it was to study for a single online test in the class, but I ended up finding all of the answers online (Google) and passed the test with flying colors without even opening the book.

Waiting to the last minute to buy books though can really be a double-edged sword. For instance, if you need the book in the first few days of class, then you are pretty much stuck paying whatever ridiculous price the book store is charging, since you don't have time to check Amazon or other stores, due to shipping (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxxnq5YAVHw).

Got a second (third) job at Target.

$9 an hour is comfortably above minimum wage, so this is a good thing.

You're working three jobs? The money must be nice, but is it really worth never having any time to spend it?

One of my co-workers has three jobs, is trying to get a fourth, and goes to college full-time. He seems to think that it's worth it.

Well, if you're going to college at the same time, the usual expectation is that you can drop a couple of jobs for one very well-paying one after you graduate. So in that case it makes some sense to consider it "worth it".

A good point, I imagine that takes a great deal of dedication though. Nothing wrong with that, of course, dedication is an admirable quality.

Get this, a new thing that the book publishers are doing is they're only selling "unbound" books. In other words, the "text books" are little more than a few hundred loose leaf pieces of paper. These pieces of paper tear incredibly easily and you have to buy your own binding (good luck finding a big enough binder). And to top it all off, you can't really trade them in or sell them. All the while, they still charge you over a hundred dollars for each of these books.

These are an absolute pain in the ass. I hate em. The lack of trade in value makes them useless. Very common in math classes at my college. I'm slightly lucky in that I'm rooming with several science majors and I'm in an applied chem frat which means we can share a lot of books (Though I sometimes prefer to keep some of my hard sci text books). On the ebook format, I understand they're cheaper, but I just prefer to study with a real book. It works better for me, and I am less distracted/more motivated than when using a comp to "read" my book. For the most part my text books have been useful, most teacher's don't teach from the book, but it does make an extraordinarily useful supplement. Sometimes not tho, and those classes suck.

I went to Bali Hai with Anime Club. The food was okay.

Brady started selling anime out of the back of his car and people started crowding around and buying it up like he was selling drugs

I bought the Ergo Proxy boxed set. With four trading cards.

Protip from a guy with two university degrees obtained over 7 years:

The only textbooks you should ever buy are those that meet ALL the following criteria:
1.  Are listed as 'required' on the course syllabus;
2.  The professor confirms to you, in person, contain exercises that are mandatory course work for the class and which cannot be obtained elsewhere;
3.  Cannot be obtained from a student in the previous semester or year class
4.  Do not have copies maintained in the facility library/ies
5.  Are significantly different from previous editions in the book in content, and not just page numbering
6.  You cannot buy one copy and share between a few friends.

By the third year of my first degree, I managed to buy only 1-2 books per semester.  One semester I bought no textbooks.  My second degree was filled with a lot of sociology/psychology/history, and had quite a bit of required reading necessitating my own books, but they tended to be $20-$30 per book, not the several hundred that some of my genetics and biochemistry books cost (and could not be resold due to edition changes).

My first year of university, I spent over $1300 on textbooks.  My last, I spent $140.

University- and college-level textbooks are an extortionate scheme by publishing companies (and the professors that write the books).  Often, the sole difference between one edition and the next is nothing more than page numbering.  I cannot emphasize enough how little you should or need to support this horrible exercise in monopolistic capitalism.

Went on 5-day "vacation" with parents, wife, kid, and friends.  Spent the majority of the time chasing said kid (21 months old) across the beach, trying to feed said kid amidst the chaos, trying to get said kid to bed, and trying to get the non-camping-lover wife to relax and enjoy herself.  Managed one evening of fishing, caught a decent rainbow trout that made for a delicious addition to steak dinner the next day.  Then drove 8.5 hours home.

I now need a vacation from my vacation.

Except I am now about to be on-call for two weeks.  All prayers and/or crossed fingers for NO PIPELINE BREAKS AND/OR OIL SPILLS IN THE MIDDLE OF ****ING NOWHERE AND/OR FORT MCMURRAY are very much appreciated.

Some solid advice there, thanks, Ryan! I've already taken up some of it. I managed to save $70 two semesters ago by getting my books at the library. It sucks though with these new online codes that are required though, as you are pretty much forced to buy the book (or at least the online version) in order to even take the class.

Been feeling pretty down lately. This isn't anything new to me though, I used to feel alone and borderline depressed nearly every night in high school. Nowadays I still occasionally feel alone and sad for seemingly no reason, and it's virtually always at night. I don't know what's causing me to feel this way...

I just drink large amounts of caffeine. I have no tolerance to it, so it still gives me a certain amount of physical pleasure and puts me in a good mood for the next few hours. This has the advantage of enhancing my mental abilities and reflexes instead of crippling them. :p

It's too bad that I can't do that every day. Caffeine dependence is bad and eliminates all its desirable effects.

I just discovered that "Glenn Greenwald's partner" is supposed to be read "Glenn Greenwald's husband". Wtf is this ****? Since when is "partner" acceptable shorthand for "same-sex partner"?  A journalist's partner is another journalist who works closely with him on journalist stuff, not his spouse! Is this common usage and I've just been living under a rock, or what?

(note, this has been a linguistics rant, and not a #ZOMGFREESNOWDEN rant... hence why it belongs in WHIYL and not its own thread)

I'm sure herra, dsockwell, and zacam know. If I dont know what I'm doing wrong, I can't change.

then someone on the IRC said they've always been afraid I'm going to do something horrible someday, which reminded me of the time in high school when someone told me they've always been afraid that one day I'll snap and start killing people. And that made me more upset and now I'm sitting here worrying if there's something wrong with me. and I need to be sleeping because classes start tomorrow.

and now I'm worrying if I'm OCD.

I don't have much experience with you either, but you've never struck any negative chords with me.

Extremely upset with my work. They have decided to cut almost everyone in my department's hours. Meanwhile two new guys in our department get ~40 hours a week. Meanwhile everyone else, including people who have been there for years, have been cut to ~10 hours a week. This is ridiculous, my co-workers and I are going to our head manager about this.

I've done nothing but bend over backwards for this company for nearly a year and this is how they repay me? Many of my co-workers have been there for years, and even they had their hours cut. I understand that our department is seriously over-budget, but these hour cuts should be based on seniority and/or productivity. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for them to give two newbies the hours of us veterans.

My friend's only real complaint about Greenwald is that he is apparently very far-left wing.

Did you ever get it sorted out? Why should we take cuts to our hours, just so new hires can steal our hours. They took our jerbs!

Wow, I knew the college textbook racket had gotten worse and worse, but I didn't know it had gotten this bad. Loose leaf books with no value after you're done with them, which is a rather brilliant business model. Soon they'll be selling textbooks printed on paper that automatically self-destructs and then charging you for the astronomically high production costs.

University- and college-level textbooks are an extortionate scheme by publishing companies (and the professors that write the books).
Although I've heard of a case where a textbook keeps costing more and more as the years pass, even though the book doesn't change, but the professor doesn't actually get paid more from it, so who knows.

Despite your hamnyurgeredness, you remembered to include the "bw" tag. Well done! :yes2:

EDIT: Although I'll be forever wondering what "Psy is Koran" means. Too bad there's no Rosetta Stone for hamnyurgered. :blah:
EDIT 2: It's probably actually "hamnyurgered + smartphone auto-correct".
EDIT 3: Emendation suggests "Psy is the man/the bomb" or similar.
EDIT 4: By "Rosetta Stone" I meant the chunk of rock, not the software, although either one would work.

I just discovered that "Glenn Greenwald's partner" is supposed to be read "Glenn Greenwald's husband". Wtf is this ****? Since when is "partner" acceptable shorthand for "same-sex partner"?  A journalist's partner is another journalist who works closely with him on journalist stuff, not his spouse! Is this common usage and I've just been living under a rock, or what?

(note, this has been a linguistics rant, and not a #ZOMGFREESNOWDEN rant... hence why it belongs in WHIYL and not its own thread)

It is fairly common usage.
Yup.

Agreed. FlamingMamba, I recommend PMing Zacam and Herra Tohtori and asking about their concerns.

I managed to get myself locked out of my house through lack of foresight.  Twenty minutes with my set of car keys remedied the situation.

I'm now slightly less confident in my home security, but more confident in my ability to improvise.

Did you ever get it sorted out? Why should we take cuts to our hours, just so new hires can steal our hours. They took our jerbs!

As far as I can recall, a bunch of us approached our manager independently of one another and said some variation of, "Yeah, so [New Employee X] and [New Employee Y] are incompetent ****wits. Why are they receiving more work than we are?" Our manager told us that the new guys needed training and that their shortcomings would be ironed out "with time." Big surprise: It turns you can't train misogyny and laziness out of someone who doesn't want to do that.

When I quit, both of the employees in question were still on the job, and still working more hours than those who had a ton more seniority than they did. I'm honestly still not sure why my bosses thought bringing them on was a good idea. My gut tells me that it was done partly as insurance against some of the more experienced employees leaving.

Simpler than that: I removed the lock from the door.

There are a number of entrances to our house, and one of them is not secured by deadbolt, but rather by sliding chain lock and the presence of a pair of large dogs.  I was able to fit my car keys to the screws holding the chain to the door frame, and removed it.

A key lock isn't going to stop the dedicated thief, and at the same time the dedicated thief is few and far between.  A chain lock and a pair of very large dogs will stop the non-dedicated thief just as effectively.

Really, locking your doors and windows is far more for casual deterrence and a sense of security than it is a real hindrance.

Well yes, there's locks, bars and a burglar alarm on my end, but a determined thief would get through those. The house directly across the road thieves recently broke in and somehow disabled the burglar alarm first. That was genuinely scary.

I don't feel comfortable on the IRC anymore. Maybe Hard-Light Productions as a whole. I'm thinking about leaving, and I'm not sure anyone will miss me. I don't know what's wrong with me, so I can't change.

I've also gone dormant myself. I used to be a lot more active here. I believe this has little to do with the community but more to do with my declining interest with FreeSpace as a whole.

Also, people here come and go all the time. The sensible ones just vanish without making a big fuss about it and tend to come back for brief spells once in a while. Maybe some members will be missed, but for the most part, the community is usually unfazed by departures.

Absolutely ridiculous! I swear, society is just moving more and more towards a persistent surveillance state. The nanny state has gone unchallenged for far too long. Not only did my college put up security cameras for the first time in 50 years, but now they're also requiring students to log in (via pen and paper) with their personal IDs any time they enter the computer lab.

This is ridiculous, myself and other students often times only have a few minutes between classes and we just need to print something out quickly. Now they are, quite literally, making us wait 5 minutes to go through a security checkpoint, just to use a computer. Not only that, but now the college (and as thus, the government) knows where I am at all times.

Nakura, you are aware that even state colleges are technically institutions independent of the government, right?  They are private premises that can do what they please, despite being publicly-funded.

Putting up security cameras on a college campus and requiring sign-in to use computer resources is not nanny-statism, nor signs of a surveillance state.  Put down the Fox News pipe :P

Wait, there were still colleges without security cameras?
In all seriousness, a college putting up a few security cameras is perfectly reasonable. Particularly given the kinds of shenanigans college students are known to get up to. Besides, Nakura, you do know that 99% of security footage goes unviewed, right? They only look at it if they think they have a reason to look at it (eg, a crime was known or suspected to have happened in the area). Nobody cares where you are at any given time.

The pen-and-paper login sounds hilariously technically incompetent on the part of the college, but it's really no different from the electronic login you'd need to use anyway to use a campus computer.

And like Ryan said, the government does not have absolute access to the college's records. I don't even see why they'd want it.
Being upset at the government's recently revealed actions is one thing, becoming paranoid and thinking the government is all knowing and omnipresent is quite another. Try to keep it in perspective.

I can understand the security cameras and don't really care. The only reason they are putting them up though is because someone tried to rape/kill a girl in a bathroom at the college about 6 months ago.

The pen and paper login is ridiculous though. I've been there four semesters and they've never done this before. You literally have to write down your name and your 16 digit student number (that nobody remembers by heart), as well as the time you sign in. Presumably you have to write the time you sign out as well, but I use the secondary exit to avoid the hassle.

This is useless for several reasons. For starters, there is absolutely no way to verify that someone is who they say they are. I could easily put down a fake name and number. In addition, what exactly is the point of trying to force everyone to do this? The school just celebrated their 50 year anniversary last year, that means that they have gone over 50 years without having to do this. So why change now?

Who said anything about liberals? And I already said that I'm okay with the cameras. What I'm not okay with is the new computer lab policy, which they represented with zero feedback from the students, professors or community and which overthrew over 50 years of precedent. My college has developed something of a name for itself as a college that provides free resources to students without a hassle and without questioning their every move. They've built a reputation on respecting the privacy and freedom of each student, but it seems like they've really pulled a 180.

Except for the fact that I haven't posted any "misinformation" or "lied." If I'm wrong on something, I'd be more than happy to admit it. But let's face it, that guy (not MP-Ryan) was wrong on this one.

As you can see, semi-automatic rifles with magazines that hold 3 rounds or less aren't all that difficult (relatively speaking) to obtain in the Netherlands.

Even still, semi-automatic rifles with magazines that hold more than three magazines are not banned either, they are merely more heavily regulated and fall under Class C weapons, which require the intended buyer to request approval from the government before purchasing/owning. Handguns fall under the Class B licensing scheme as well.

Quote
Category C — Firearms subject to declaration
1. Repeating long firearms other than those listed in category B, point 6.
2. Long firearms with single-shot rifled barrels.
3. Semi-automatic long firearms other than those in category B, points 4 to 7.
4. Single-shot short firearms with rimfire percussion whose overall length is not less than 28 cm.

I agree with Mongoose, we already have a 20+ page topic on this. I don't know why you felt the need to randomly bring up gun control in this thread. I am guilty of replying to his gun control statement, but I couldn't allow him to get away with posting misinformation. It's the 'big lie,' if I allowed it to go unchallenged, someone might actually believe him, should he promulgate it enough times.

Joshua, should you wish to discuss this issue further, please resurrect the old gun rights topic, start one of your own or send me a private message.

I don't feel comfortable on the IRC anymore. Maybe Hard-Light Productions as a whole. I'm thinking about leaving, and I'm not sure anyone will miss me. I don't know what's wrong with me, so I can't change.

I've also gone dormant myself. I used to be a lot more active here. I believe this has little to do with the community but more to do with my declining interest with FreeSpace as a whole.

Also, people here come and go all the time. The sensible ones just vanish without making a big fuss about it and tend to come back for brief spells once in a while. Maybe some members will be missed, but for the most part, the community is usually unfazed by departures.
Hate to dig this up, but QFT. I haven't played FS in years. :(

I just played FS for the first time in months this morning.  My son wanted to play "'Pace Andry Boyrds" (aka Star Wars Angry Birds, which he cannot play at all yet), so I offered to show him something more interesting.  I never finished Shadow Genesis the first time around because I got stuck on a mission that was either in a nebula or a gas giant (can't remember which).  Saw there had been an update, so gave that a whirl starting fresh.  Boy's interest was definitely engaged.  He kept saying, "I need to help you."  So I sat him on my lap and let him grab the joystick with me.

Probably not the best quality time I could be spending with him, but considering we spent most of the morning building star fighters out of my old lego kits, we kind of had a theme going.   :p

But let's face it, MP-Ryan was wrong on this one.

Excuse me, wrong on what now?  I believe I already highlighted your spectacular self-contradiction on the last page.

Thanks for the PM to clear it up, but if you're going to try to claim someone's assertions are incorrect in the public spaces of the forum, an explanation as to why (and a retraction when you realize you've made a mistake) are generally appropriate in that same space.

Ehrm, I was not talking about gun control. I was talking about you. Your behaviour in discussions, regardless of the subject. The example I used was just pulled from the gun thread since that was the example still in recent memory. I have no interest on discussing the whole gun control thing further, simply because of your behaviour (as exemplified once again in this very thread).

Sister is now married, the song I played her down the aisle (and the Groomsmen song) went well, had a ****ton of alcohol over the past week...

Best part though? Well, actually there's a couple. One being the excess amount of beer we had. Five flats (24 beers per flat) which was distributed amongst myself and the three Groomsmen (so I've now got a profuse amount of beer. Good beer too) and secondly, that gal I've been seeing wants long sex and soon

Perpetual party for four days. Awesome

Oh, and playing against rookies in paintball is just too easy. Cousin, sister, brother in law and the three groomsmen were just targets that I enjoyed shooting

1v6 game. Terminator rules
Originally the game was headshots only, but I called an audible given how the field was setup. Basically, I'm in a landing craft from DDay and they're all Nazis on the beach. They were shooting *before* the ramp even fell and there's a mad dash before you could even think about getting any cover

Much like DDay, didn't even make it five feet from the craft before taking half a dozen hits to the head. Awesome gamemode though. I think they preferred just shooting me anyhow

Trolled someone today in real life. A friend and I were at lunch together and this shy Korean guy walked up to us and asked if he could eat his lunch at our table (which was rather large and empty, bar us). I stood up, walked up to him and told him that he can't sit here and to get lost.

He was taken aback, and I told him that I was kidding, and that he can do whatever he likes, and that he was welcome to join our conversation. Given that he appeared Korean, I then half-heartedly told him "we're geeks, you're Korean... we can talk about StarCraft." He responded with "I don't play" and I said "must be why you immigrated here."

Seriously though, we made an effort to make him feel welcome, he seemed like a nice chap. I'm a terrible person.  :blah:

Forget rogue nations, when it comes to biological weapons attacks we should be looking much closer to home.

MUCH closer.

My 21-month-old had the sniffles on Thursday and Friday.  By Sunday, no trace remained - except for the ugly head-cold his mother has been battling since the early hours of Sunday morning and my now-incessantly runny rose.  Damn kids.  Damn daycare.  I think I've had more colds in the last 21 months than the last 21 years.

Anyway, think about it.  Who suspects toddlers? (other than parents of toddlers, I mean).  Perfect delivery vehicle - sprint randomly about, touching people and surface at random, asymptomatic until painfully contagious, and quickly recover from the ill-effects prior to exfiltration from hostile territory.

If North Korea ever gets their hands on a toddler, we're all screwed.

my week of twice daily dopings is over and things are starting to come me. like how switch mode power supplies work, how to use quaternions, and how to play ksp without failing catastrophically. but some things are kinda fuzzy. like how i managed to survive kayaking down that river in the state i was in.

also, have you ever butchered a deer, ON WEED?

Forget rogue nations, when it comes to biological weapons attacks we should be looking much closer to home.

MUCH closer.

My 21-month-old had the sniffles on Thursday and Friday.  By Sunday, no trace remained - except for the ugly head-cold his mother has been battling since the early hours of Sunday morning and my now-incessantly runny rose.  Damn kids.  Damn daycare.  I think I've had more colds in the last 21 months than the last 21 years.

Anyway, think about it.  Who suspects toddlers? (other than parents of toddlers, I mean).  Perfect delivery vehicle - sprint randomly about, touching people and surface at random, asymptomatic until painfully contagious, and quickly recover from the ill-effects prior to exfiltration from hostile territory.

If North Korea ever gets their hands on a toddler, we're all screwed.

QFT; toddlers == germ factories

(and it doesn't get any better once they start school either  :blah:)

Well it didn't explode, I'm just exaggerating to an exponential degree. The clutch died. So we replaced it. Two days later, the new one died. Still, not my problem. It's going to the junkyard.

last night i built a better switch mode supply with an lm2576 ic (adjustable version). i can tweak a trim pot to get anywhere between 2.5 - 6 volts, it can push 3 amps, and it doesnt even get hot (unlike the one i built out of crap a few weeks ago). its only 6 parts, so i might solder it all to some strip board and make it permanent. couple issues though, not sure what the value of the inductor im using is. none of the ones i have are marked, and my diode is not reated for 3 amps, nor is it a schottky diode with a low voltage drop, instead im using some high voltage rectifier diode which is killing my efficiency. the only schottky diodes i have are only rated to 1 amp, but i might be able to use a couple in parallel. they dont seem to get hot at all with a 1a dummy load.

Spoiler:
replicant or whatever they are called chick becomes a deity for the for the future people. the reason for reaching the top of the mountain because it was a communications relay they used to call in an evac from an external colony (which are mentioned in the korean chick's time). thats why at the end when the little girl asks tom hanks where earth is he points up to a star in the sky.

all in all i thought it was a rather impressive movie. better than i expected. why it wasnt nominated for let alone won an oscar is beyond me.

I went through my junk e-mail and saw a scam e-mail from a certain Capt Anthony John. The message claims that he's moving around the Middle East, but when I look at the e-mail's source, it appears the message was actually sent from Tokyo.

Did he ask for a thousand dollars to fund the extradition of a wealthy oil sheik who promised to pay you millions in untraceable funds upon arrival in insert-country-here? :P

Not at all. He was requesting for "the safe keeping of two military trunk boxes".

What I love is how he harps about himself being "very uncomfortable sending this message to you without knowing truly if you would misconstrue the importance and decide to go public". I mean, come on...

And all I got was 12$ and hour and a bottle of Kahlua. I asked the fellow I made the deal with for a little extra since it was a ****show that he otherwise escaped (I go in at 4pm, exit at 2:45am because of this concert group that decided to hit the restaurant bloody hard at 10pm. We were cooking food until 11:30!)

Course, his initial response was less than adequate.

Got a job at Target on Tuesday.  Since then, I've been trained in how to cashier, unload trucks, stock shelves, serve food at the integral Pizza Hut and Starbucks, organize the back room, zone portions of the store (make them look pretty, essentially), and conduct the sales floor.

Since getting the job, I've put in 31 hours (at this point, those 31 hours are on a total of six days, five of those I actually worked.  I had Wednesday off) at what was initially supposed to be a 20 hour a week part-time job.  Six of those hours were today, and at time and a half for holiday pay, bringing my hourly wage to a handy $13.50 an hour.  By the time tomorrow rolls around, I'll have put in 39 hours (at two different stores) working six different jobs within the store.  Since I know how to do goddamn near everything already, the store leader for the store I work at primarily (31 out of 39 hours) is considering upping me to full-time employee, with near guaranteed 40 hours a week, in damn near any field of the store I want, subject to what the store needs on a given day.

All of this is also a full dollar an hour above the normal store entry pay rate, all because I initially volunteered to work early mornings unloading the truck.  As a result, everything I do on the clock is at that increased rate, even if it's sales floor or cashiering from afternoon to close.  Add on to all this I have my reserve drill this weekend for a chill $200, and I'm still working afternoons at the local commissary to the tune of ~$13 an hour in all tips (not reportable income, and therefore untaxed) for 15 hours a week, and I am almost literally rolling in money and jobs.

And I could get laid tonight, because a good friend is visiting from out of town for Labor Day, and needed a place to stay.

It's been a very good week.

I'm not normally the type to just randomly vent, but the tether connecting me to some form of calmness is getting perilously loose.

Every so often a time comes along where a client gains the impression that you're their own little Personal Support Representative (also known as a PSR). The duties involved of a PSR normally include:
-- Instructing the client on how to do his or her own job
-- Dropping everything you're doing to assist this client, no matter how important it is
-- Setting back urgent work to complete vague tasks
-- Having no compunctions against being on the phone for hours at a time
-- Taking incredible initiative and going far above and beyond their regular standard of work

A certain client has made me their PSR, very much against my will. My company does not provide PSRs. My company is not responsible for this client's inability to do their job. My company is not the one being paid to fix problems with the client's work processes.

My job, contrary to popular opinion, is to assist in use of my company's software system. Not to teach the client operational processes that are essential to the industry that they are in. That is not my area of expertise. My E-mail signature clearly says "Technical Support" not "X-Industry Process Analysis Specialist". I am not an X-Industry Process Analysis Specialist. I do not have the pay grade that every other X-Industry Process Analysis Specialist is presumably entitled to.

My time is valuable. I do not have ten hours a week to dedicate to this insanity, as I have for the past fortnight. Those ten hours are better spent solving critical issues in my company's software and ensuring that work that other clients that have, surprise surprise, actually paid for, is done.

I do not have time to have hour-long training sessions to teach people things that A) Take three minutes to do, and B) That they have already been taught. I do not have time to repeat these training sessions three-to-five times a week. I do not have the time to explain to said clients how they should be writing things down. I do not have the time to get promptly ignored. I do not have the time to listen to said clients as they complain about not having any idea what they are doing. I do not have the time to repeatedly explain why I cannot document their processes as they deviate from set industry standards. I do not have the time to write up documentation anyway, free of charge, for the sole use of said client. And I do not have the time to listen to the sob story that is the life and times of Captain Blindeaf McIgnorant and how no one wants to give them an easy way out.

Ladies and gentlemen, I work with some of the best people in the biz. You couldn't ask for a better environment. It's friendly, funny, and I actually enjoy work sometimes. But when I am used and abused in the manner that I have been, and when it is by an unrepentant, arrogant idiot who thinks work is something that happens to other people, my pleasant mood has a habit of rapidly evaporating.

It's my job to help everyone, and the world will be a happier place when the self-entitled and the arrogant realise that.

We have three options.
1) Make them pay for every fifteen minutes of my/our time they waste.
2) Refuse to support them if they don't want to pay.
3) Force them to attend a mandatory paid training session to fix their goddamn problems.

I'm partial towards number two, myself.

Venting in this way is helpful for a release, and harmless.

Now if you can jettison this person and it be the right thing to do for your company (or sanity) I guess it's a good thing.

But maybe you could view it in another mindset: as a challenge to be conquered.

I've had to deal with difficult, patience-testing people in my life before, and it's improved my patience tremendously.

Something that stuck in my mind also is this, it's two extracts from a much bigger post. It stuck with me because while I haven't worked in tech support, in addition to the above, while I've never required anger management, in my younger days I had both a short temper and little patience. Now, I'm one of the calmest, most patient people I know, while I've still been able to keep my passion undiminished.

Now the extract:

Quote from: Zacam on June 07, 2013, 05:59:11 pm
I've worked Technical Support in addition to having to work through my own anger management issues as both a child and young adult. Fortunately, rather than taking the "lets medicate it out of you" route (which can still be viable, just wasn't in my case), I got to work through it by developing an understanding of what causes for it and developing the mechanics to help me step aside from it until I can look at it later. Working in technical support really helped with that, as when you pick up a phone and immediately have somebody absolutely SCREAMING at you, it is REALLY easy to default to the fact that they are screaming at YOU and therefor, YOU need to do something about it.

*snip*

In Technical Support terms, this means: You say "sorry" to the angry caller for their issue, even when they are screaming at you, because god damn it, somebody had better be! You need to let go of the personal matter of not actually being at fault in this situation and still manage to deliver a sincere apology (and for ****s sake, one that you actually MEAN and can uphold) for them being angry before you can start working on the technical problem they are having. If you continue to insist on not being at fault, if you continue to assert that you don't deserve them screaming at you (and yes, we already know you don't, they'll eventually realize that too) you will NEVER get the actual fundamental technical problem resolved.

So maybe you can try and think of how much of a better person this will be making you. :)

Post by: Hobbie on September 03, 2013, 04:15:56 pm
Lorric, there's anger at someone, then there's treating them with zero respect. This falls into the latter category and is not so easily conquered. I cannot and will not apologize to someone because they are unable to do their job. It is not my job to do their job. This has been ongoing for months now and we have been lavishing this client with tech support. They have utilized at least double the support hours they signed on for (which are done in six month periods) in three months. EG: 50 hours used in three months when they paid for 25 hours for six months.

If this were fixing issues with the software they are using, fine, great, whatever, no issues. But it isn't. For example, let's say I worked at Microsoft. I had an irate customer call up because they don't know how to write a word document. MS Word isn't broken. It's working fine. They don't want to know how to use any special features. They just want to write a certain document but, and this is the kicker, they don't know what words to use. So I spend three hours on the phone firstly explaining that we don't do that because it's entirely up to them, secondly, listening to their life story about how no one wants to sacrifice their time for them, and thirdly, teaching them something I really shouldn't be. Then they call up the next day, even more irate, and they've forgotten the words they needed to use to tell their Aunt Sadie that the dog is sick and need to be taught again. They didn't write anything down on how to do it. They blame it on not having any documentation. How can you have documentation for typing a letter to your aunt into an MS Word document? It's literally "Open MS Word, start typing". But the client doesn't understand that. If they were nice and understanding about it, I wouldn't have an issue (in fact, I have other clients who just don't get things as well. Difference is, they're lovely people and extremely appreciative). So you see my frustration.

Anger has never been an issue for me. I have short, sharp bursts of extreme anger that I keep to myself and I'm usually over it within half an hour. Probably because I have bigger problems to deal with, but yesterday, it involved chatting with a girl who gets a 9.5/10 on the hawt scale and NOT being friendzoned.

Lorric, there's anger at someone, then there's treating them with zero respect. This falls into the latter category and is not so easily conquered. I cannot and will not apologize to someone because they are unable to do their job. It is not my job to do their job. This has been ongoing for months now and we have been lavishing this client with tech support. They have utilized at least double the support hours they signed on for (which are done in six month periods) in three months. EG: 50 hours used in three months when they paid for 25 hours for six months.

Yes this is more difficult. The patience extending people were people who didn't mean any harm but were difficult to deal with. People who did mean harm, or were simply inconsiderate like this person seems to be, I don't think they really gave me any benefits in that way.

It sounds like this person has stepped over the line and has been allowed to somehow, and then they've just kept right on walking. Is this client important and that's why they've been allowed to take such liberties? If not, then maybe they should be pushed back behind the line, perhaps enough is enough and it's time for a change. If this person is destroying your mood and the mood of your colleagues, then maybe you should even just jettison the client altogether, if you can, because it could be having a knock on effect to the service you provide all round.

If this were fixing issues with the software they are using, fine, great, whatever, no issues. But it isn't. For example, let's say I worked at Microsoft. I had an irate customer call up because they don't know how to write a word document. MS Word isn't broken. It's working fine. They don't want to know how to use any special features. They just want to write a certain document but, and this is the kicker, they don't know what words to use. So I spend three hours on the phone firstly explaining that we don't do that because it's entirely up to them, secondly, listening to their life story about how no one wants to sacrifice their time for them, and thirdly, teaching them something I really shouldn't be. Then they call up the next day, even more irate, and they've forgotten the words they needed to use to tell their Aunt Sadie that the dog is sick and need to be taught again. They didn't write anything down on how to do it. They blame it on not having any documentation. How can you have documentation for typing a letter to your aunt into an MS Word document? It's literally "Open MS Word, start typing". But the client doesn't understand that. If they were nice and understanding about it, I wouldn't have an issue (in fact, I have other clients who just don't get things as well. Difference is, they're lovely people and extremely appreciative). So you see my frustration.

Urgh. Well you have my sympathies. If nothing else, I hope getting this stuff off your chest has helped, it helps me.

While I would only notice the improvement to my patience level some time after dealing with the people, unfortunately from what you describe, I don't think dealing with a person like this would improve me that way. I hope you can resolve the situation.

B) Management seems to think it's not that big a deal. Management is a big fan of the head-in-sand approach.

Friends have started showing interest in some of my personal paintings and small work, some want to buy some.

It's not a "big deal of a movie", it has its own pitfalls (m83 y oh y did you resort to copy Zimmer??!? and the twist was sooo utterly in your face since the beggining of the movie...). It's like a cool simple vignette story. But oh I sooo much prefer it to Elysium it's not funny.

All bad puns aside, I just got a decent deal from the paintball arena i went to for my 21st due to me politely stating in the feedback form they gave me that their prices were balls and that it made almost completely inaccessible for people with low income.

So the next time I go, I get 300 free balls, equipment, and lunch for £22.99 per person. It's not great, but considering entry, 300 balls and lunch costs around £34, I'm saving a whole £4.01!

Had a great night at a new friend's birthday downtown at a club/pub
Met a few interesting people, and learned that my not dancing strategy is actually something that works to get girls to go to *you*

Except for one detail which made things less than exemplary


Here's a little backstory. Person who chose to have sex with me introduces me to her best friend. Encourages that I become friends with her best friend. So myself and best friend chat, I learn her birthday is coming up, so I get her a gift (she recently got into Big Brother so I am obtaining all the seasons for her to watch) and she invites me out to her party

All fine and dandy right? I'm making friends with people, being nice and ****

But no no, I'm not asking the girl who I'm having sex with for permission to do any of this
She wants me to ask for permission, in order for it to be okay that I come out on her best friend's birthday, of which her best friend is the one who invited me

She also wants me to ask permission to do nice things for people because it's weird that I talk to her best friend and am doing something nice for said person

So she pulls me aside, gives this long winded speech about how it is weird and stuff about boundaries (which were never mentioned earlier. Also, we're not a bf/gf thing as by her mention several times) and that I am to leave



I show up for her best friend, and then she makes it about her because it's her best friend, and not my friend
She also mentions that the two guys that were there (both I know and worked with) are also, not my friends

Still doesn't make sense to me. She's unhappy and now feels inclined to discontinue sexual interaction and I once again realize why I just hate interacting with humans


To top it off I'm about five minutes from going clocktower on some annoying ****ing person who is building a driveway at 8am with a Bobcat constantly backing up and going BEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEP

Hour of sleep. Totally healthy

Maybe you should confront her? It seems to me that she is too afraid to lose you, and that she's clingy. This is a bad combo. And if you don't talk to her about it, it might get worse.

Admittedly, this sounds strange.  How long have you known this person?  My good friends and I - who have known each other for nearly twenty years - still don't buy each other birthday gifts.  And I certainly don't buy my wife's friends birthday gifts.

I can see how this might come across as a little odd to your FWB.

I didn't say buy it
*cough* Forum policy *cough*


It's no charge, makes someone's day and spawned naturally from a conversation where she was looking to watch all the seasons but no good sources for it were available. To me, this just seems like something nice to do

But yeah, that could seem odd without proper context. What shouldn't seem odd is having conversations with her best friend (which was on ground for having to basically ask permission. She even blatantly said it's odd you're talking with my best friend despite the aforementioned "Yeah, be friends with her")


EDIT: Situation resolved. We chatted over the phone and sorted out the debacle.
She also really doesn't want me messaging her friends despite having been properly introduced

Whatever. Not my problem. I'll finish what I started (with the big brother thing), and go back to being who I am. A hermit who avoids human contact because I have a knack for ****ing things up. The less I do with my life, less I can **** up or so my logic will go

Just saw Oblivion tonight. 1000x better story than Elysium.

If I had to bet last year ago between those two I'd soooo lose it.

I've been meaning to rent that.

It's not a "big deal of a movie", it has its own pitfalls (m83 y oh y did you resort to copy Zimmer??!? and the twist was sooo utterly in your face since the beggining of the movie...). It's like a cool simple vignette story. But oh I sooo much prefer it to Elysium it's not funny.

Just watched it myself.  Yeah, pretty decent sci-fi flick.

Unfortunately, I have not seen Oblivion or Elysium yet, but I will in the future. Saw Into Darkness with my family and I thought it was pretty good. As for the third . . . I think it should be about the Enterprise crew exploring a distant region of the galaxy and encounter something they have not encountered before.  I would want it to be suspenseful, since they are in the unknown after all.

Man, wouldn't it be awesome if they found out an amazing species' ship that was all about collecting data throughout the galaxy and so on, and it had retrieved so much data that it would have created around it a giganormous holographic memory cloud. Now this cloud would of course be on route to Earth and mr. Kirk and co. would have to deal with this threat. Then I even imagine an amazing twist where the core of this ship is fueled by a very human curiosity by an ancient earth robot ship or smth. Like an ironic twist about "Go and explore" becoming really fatally threatening to anyone who encountered it.

That stuff or something about Whales. Pretty sure putting whales on anything Star Trek is so outlandishly stupid no one has ever thought about it so far.

I've been growing increasingly restless at my lack of self-defence skills (I've been seeing an increasing number of shady characters on buses lately), yet at the same time frustrated because I know I wouldn't be able to keep up class attendance with the little spare time I have. I did Krav Maga for about six months last year, and that's exactly what started happening towards the end.

EDIT:

I have also learned that being perpetually not sober is a great state of being to be in
Why I never bothered to consume this much alcohol in a course of a week is beyond me

Killed my bottle of scotch, working on the 151, nearly done with the Kahlua (man, that **** in hot chocolate is so awesome. Baileys too. That didn't last very long) and most likely going to get myself something interesting

Played my first games of Flames of War today.  Picked up a quintet of plastic Shermans a couple days ago that I assembled in the build up to the game that actually mattered for the campaign being run, and then actually won the game.  Woo.

Turns out that six veteran M1A1 Shermans with the base 75 mm cannon and played by a complete novice are more than a match for a trio of three veteran Panther Gs played by a seasoned player.

That, or I got lucky.  Not sure which yet.

Still, was a fun game, and afterwards I picked up a quartet of M36 Jackson tank destroyers to add to my army in the upcoming weeks.  No longer will I have to settle for trying to outflank the German bastards, I can instead say "**** you" right to their faces.  For great justice.

the last couple of days ive been trolling a 'woman' who answered my craigslist ad for hawt dirty sex. she is almost certainly a scammer or a bot or both. 'she' sent me a pic of a beautiful woman with mocha complexion (i presume she is indian and they are trying to pass her off as native alaskan), so im debating sending her something from my deer hunting expidition, or my fishing excapades. something where im ripping out somethings entrails. or maybe that one where i splattered myself with deer blood and am brandishing a hunting knife. i might save that one for when 'she' asks for money, with the caption "photographs taken by the police after an incident involving an internet scammer", continuing on "which i was let off on because of missing evidence, allegedly stolen by the russian mafia".

sorry, you are not my type, you would have to have a vagina first (or at least something that looks like one).

other than that, why the **** do you want to live in alaska? or murica for that matter. we have no jobs, no health care, and all the women are fat. unless you are into that kinda thing. look on the bright side though, the canadian border with alaska is about 2.131 megameters long, and is likely poorly guarded. just be ready to fight bears, lots of bears.

It's free to vote, there's no spam just a verification, and the charity wins five thousand pounds. The votes running til October 1st and hundreds of dogs are depending on the charity to live. It rescues dogs from Afghanistan for soldiers who find them and ensures they are immunized, have passports, get chipped, and can fly back not to mention the costs of daily feeding and upkeep.

It's based in Kabul but was founded by a royal marine. But don't hold that against him.

Argh, my spine is still sore.

Print making is actually a very physically taxing medium, and here I was thinkng painting was tiring. No time for Freespace either.

But back to BFA work, going to start my thesis on "Games and the Visual Arts" i.e. why Call of Duty, Farcry, and other AAA titles have pushed the idea of "Realism" as an excuse for bland mediocrity. The more idiots push the idea that our games have to "look like life" betrays the fact they are idiots when it comes to games as an interactive medium. I don't care about fidelity, I care about gaming, not the ability for Farcry3 to murder my computer.

Realism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gustave_Courbet_031.jpg Brown, dull, lifeless. The palettes of MMS.

we have one aussie expat in our club who is a HUGE hawthorn fan.  and by that, i mean last time i was at a grand final party with him was hawthorn/geelong, and he tackled a guy in a geelong jumper that we didn't know.  found out partway through the game that this same guy was watching at the australian embassy in DC.  i really, really wish i could have been there to see what he did.  no news of an international incident this morning, so i guess he behaved himself.

i cleaned my electronics desk. instead of one big ball of wire i now have 10 big balls of wire. junk, crap, and scrap have now been sorted into their respective boxes. need to figure out what to do with old projects. "successful", "completed" projects will probibly get their own box. failed projects will either go into junk, or scrap, idk. then there are all the half finished projects which will probibly just go on the floor, next to the lego motorpool. things are made more problematic with the fact that i will be moving soon, into another apartment in the same complex (****ers hiked the rent and we need to move to a smaller one), and space will be slightly diminished.

I have managed to concoct an alcoholic beverage that tastes and smells like fuzzy peaches (the candy, but basically it tastes like peaches) without even using any peaches

Santa Cruz Mango Lemonade with three ounces of 151
Unless of course, they put out a batch of mango lemonade that was supposed to be peach lemonade. Could happen, but either way

It's awesome and dangerously tasty

How is ticketmaster allowed to stay in business?  Who are they paying off, and how much?  Apparently the new thing is now they charge one MORE fee (for a total of three, one of them supposedly being the total collection of all fees), that isn't even disclosed until you've already paid it.  First fee, about 50% of the ticket price.  The supposed "all inclusive" fee advertised as part of the ticket price.  Checkout time now - delivery fee.  $16-20 to mail it to you express (even though the show is 10 days away), $2.50 to display a picture of it on your screen.  Total displayed: $24-something.  Submit, enter credit card info (no the **** you can't store my payment info), have to uncheck $7 "insurance" (I wonder if they've ever actually paid out on that) option.  Total charged: $28-something.  Undisclosed $4 fee added for "order processing."  The name they used to use for the huge one that is now called "fees and charges." 

The explanation of the fees on their website is essentially "the fees are the only way we and the venues make any money.  We share the fees with the venues."  Except the way it almost always works is the artist is paid a set booking fee and the venue collects the ticket sales.  And ticketmaster actually owns almost all the venues.

That might be a little extreme, but I do favour the idea that members of Congress should be docked two days' pay for every day government services are shut down due to such an impasse.  Something tells me the Tea Party folks at the heart of this mess might think a little differently if they saw their salaries erased as a result.

on floor in new apartment surrounded by boxes of my crap (which i have more of than i thought i did), posting on hlp from my raspberry pi (because its the first comp to which i found all the bits for operation), after spending an hour trying to figure out what my router password was. im the bright side we have faster internet, which is cheaper, and gives me 50% more piracy perfectly legit downloads (and porn).

i have to move several boxes up the stairs, and i am exausted from moving boxes all day and dont really feel like moving more boxes. seems like all i do is move boxes. ive had to have moved a ton of stuff, literally a ton. fortunately the previous tennants left me some weed in one of the cupboards.also i got my pfd and am now $900 richer.

omfg raspberry pi sucks, i get better performance from computers ive pulled out of the dumpster. need to dig out my good computer from this mess.

Yesterday as I got home from work, I was neck deep in the blackest mood I've had for a while. Even darker than the one where I ranted in here the other month.

What really gets me is that there was no rhyme nor reason for it, I had a good day at work and the mood only lasted the evening. When I woke up today, I was and still am in a rather good mood. A better mood I had for also quite a while.

Should I be concerned about this, or does it happen to everyone once in a while?

As long as it doesn't happen all the freaking time. If your motivation leaks away like someone has pulled the cork on the bathtub all the time, you may want to look at some psychological help.

Yesterday as I got home from work, I was neck deep in the blackest mood I've had for a while. Even darker than the one where I ranted in here the other month.

What really gets me is that there was no rhyme nor reason for it, I had a good day at work and the mood only lasted the evening. When I woke up today, I was and still am in a rather good mood. A better mood I had for also quite a while.

Should I be concerned about this, or does it happen to everyone once in a while?
I'm no expert either, but I think most people have a day every once in a while where they feel like **** for no particular reason.  Like others said, if it's something that you notice coming up with any sort of frequency, it'd be worth talking to someone about it.

Some piece of **** is dumping their chlorinated pool water in our stream!!!!!!!  :mad:

You're American, right?  If you're in Canada, PM me right now and I'll give you the number directly.

Call either the nearest EPA office or your local state Fish and Wildlife office.  Take pictures and video right the **** now.  Ask the authorities how soon they will get there; if they're going to take a while, pull out a couple dead fish, put them in a ziplock bag, squeeze the air out, and stick it in the fridge (NOT the freezer).

If you can, and the authorities are going to be a while, grab a plastic bottle with a tight-sealing lid.  Fill it to overflowing and cap it at that point; a certified lab can check the chlorine concentration.

Chlorinated water is extremely bad for aquatic life, and every US state (and the US EPA) enforce laws that prohibit dumping it into the environment.  The best thing you can do is call the authorities immediately; your asshole neighbour can be prosecuted for this.  If they are going to take a while, there are things you can do right now to preserve evidence that will enable that kind of prosecution.

If you send me your approximate location, I'll even help you find the number.

Yes I'm in the USA. Thing is we don't know which neighbor is doing it... tracking it down ourselves would likely take a fair amount of walking (lots around here are 5 acres minimum, elsewhere nearby it's 2 acres but still big), and the stream forks at least once.

Also it was last night, so Idunno if the dead fish will still be where we saw it (and we don't know for sure if that's what killed it)... but there's still a bit of chlorine smell around the stream.

Chlorine dissipates, but not as rapidly as you might think.  Also, chlorine damages fish gills in a specific way that is forensically-traceable by a fish biologist.  Call your local authorities at a minimum.

I'm concerned I may be accidentally extorting/accepting bribes from one of our regular hotel guests.  She speaks only Chinese, and I've been the only one who was able to help her in the past because of it (thank [deity of your choice] for Google Translate on my phone), so she always insists on dealing with me.  She's gotten to know the routine fairly well: she comes in on Saturday night, the hotel's totally sold out, but we usually have a couple cancellations at 3am.  She comes to the desk around 11pm, asks "rooms?"  I shake my head, she says "Ok" and points at 3 o'clock on her watch.  I nod, and she comes back at 3am.  So far, I've always been able to get a hotel room for her at 3am, but there's never a guarantee.  Lately, she's been giving me a $25 tip when she first comes to the desk, when there's no guarantee that I'll be able to get her a room.  Tonight, I tried giving the money back and explaining "no tip until you get a room."  She gave it back to me.  When I was (barely) able to get her a room at 3am just now, she gave me another $25 tip.  I'm worried she may have thought I was saying $25 wasn't enough earlier.

She has a Chinese passport; is it common practice to have to bribe the night clerk to get a hotel room in China?  I finally decided to just make a reservation for her for the next four Saturdays so she doesn't have to wait until 3am anymore.  If she continues tipping me so generously, I'll take it as a compliment on my guest service skills rather than a bribe.

If I had to guess I'd imagine that you're more likely violating some hotel policy than any law. You're not threatening her. Depending on where you live it very well would be bribery but I can't imagine anyone bother to prosecute unless something more sinister was going on (even then I can't imagine them having a good case on you). The one thing that I find suspicious is that she never actually bothered placing reservations. Does your hotel have any rules in place to deal with things like this?

No, I don't think I'm violating any hotel policy.  We're all allowed to accept tips, and some very wealthy guests tip their favorite employees upwards of $100 on a regular basis.  She never bothered placing reservations because she has such a hard time communicating with us in person, it'd be nearly impossible for her to make a reservation over the phone (she could do it online using Google Translate, but I don't think she knows that).  It's that language barrier that had me worried.  The worry has subsided; I think I'll be fine.

In other news, instead of fighting with my ISP, I just got a dedicated server with a hosting company.  I ordered it before I went to bed, and it was ready to go when I got up.  Feels like Christmas.

Post by: FlamingCobra on October 09, 2013, 09:44:34 am
I'm not actually interested in drinking. What I want is

(1) Meet people interested in the EDM community, and
(2) Go to events once every week or so where EDM is played and I can dance, preferably with women and in a sexualized manner.

GenericHLPer2247501: So basically FlamingMamba just wants to go to parties.

Well, yes and no. At practically every party I've ever been to, they only play rap music (99% of which I hate), some hip hop (most of which I don't like, unless it's the Beastie Boys), and a few rock songs which I invariably won't like (usually something like Nickelback or Theory of a Dead Man). I've never had a good time at any of those parties.

It's got to have the right atmosphere, but most of all, it's got to be electronic dance music. Trance, house, electro house :D, techno, dubstep, drum & bass, whatever! I like it all.

I've done some internet searches and asked around and have concluded that there are either no such parties on campus, or if there are, they are not publicized. So I figure my best bet is to hit up some nightclubs that have EDM and 18+ nights.

Surely this. You go to NC State, right? Big public university, all kinds of people. Admittedly a bit unlikely to randomly run into people into EDM from just your dorm and classes, although with math/science/engineering classes it's slightly more likely but not by much.

Are there student groups that people into EDM would likely be a part of? Try going to those groups' meetings and events and getting to know the people there. There's probably a directory of active student groups somewhere, or you can ask the student activities office or equivalent for a list.

FlamingMamba, you're into EDM? You want to meet more guys into EDM? Get into your campus's gym, legit. I'm sure you must know just how hand in hand gym culture and EDM are. I can guarantee you almost 100% that provided you're sociable and don't train like a spastic, you'll end up making friends with at least one but more likely five people who'll frequent EDM parties/events or even host them.

Either that or it might be an Australian thing, but I doubt it. If I pop into your neck of the wood in the States next year we should go get on some EDM. :)

i only went a few times, but when i did the gym at NCSU was full of meat heads.  and while i guess that doesn't necessarily exclude them from EDM (which i assume is electronic dance music?), i wouldn't bet on it.

It might be a recent thing but all the EDM events in Perth are populated almost solely by blokes who'd come off as meatheads, so really that's what you want. You've just got to put in the time and look semi meatheadish too and they'll accept you into their EDM/iron plate fraternity. :P

@Dilmah, I haven't heard of gym culture and EDM going hand in hand in the States, although I wouldn't really know. Reminds me that if your travels take you through the SF Bay Area, do stop by and say hi :)

When I mentioned student groups, I was thinking more of a bit of a nerdier crowd, which I thought might be what FM is looking for. For example, when I was on Engineering Student Council in college, we had an annual school-wide dance party that played a lot of EDM. Getting involved in things like that is what I had in mind.

@Dilmah, I haven't heard of gym culture and EDM going hand in hand in the States, although I wouldn't really know. Reminds me that if your travels take you through the SD Bay Area, do stop by and say hi :)

Yeah one of the guys at Life in Color that I talked to said he was from San Diego and he said "all these kids" on the East Coast are too uptight. They don't know how to let themselves be free because they are too consciencious of what others will think.

I can't speak for the whole East Coast but I will say that that statement is representative of the people in the Bible Belt.

or maybe they just don't want to do whatever it is this guy thinks they should be to be "free."  that sounds like a very douchy thing to say.

well I gave you the short version of the conversation but basically the guy was pointing out how the people there were willing to go like \m/ and scream when the DJ says "make some noise," and the people here know how to drink and do drugs, but most of the people are kind of reluctant to dance or really cut loose because they're afraid of looking silly in front of other people.

And how beer and drugs aren't necessary to have a good time.

i have lost the favor of the hard drive gods. i have had a shortage of hard drives for some time. ever since my 1tb drive died last year. the ssd i bought (which wont arrive till thursday) was meant to fill in the gaps. but unfortunately the 8-10 year old 160 gig hard drive (a hitachi death star of all things) in moms computer decided to start thrashing for no reason (on a computer that pretty much only runs a web browser). smart says its dieing, winders says its dieing, chkdisk says its iffy. hitachi's disk division apparently got sold to western digital, and so the diagnostic tools dont seem to exist anymore. im officially calling it toast. so it will go into the hack pile to be tortured, beaten, have linux installed on it, tortured some more, and eventually scrapped for parts. :mad:

i will take the 320 gig from my electronics hacking rig and stick it im moms rig. it doesnt have anything critical on it with the possible exception of an abridged backup (its not big enough to store all the things) that i would rather not delete until i get my data moved to the ssd i will get on thursday, but i do have an old full backup on an iffy 1tb hard drive. i also wont have an electronics hacking rig.

Nearing on the end of season seven



I'm tired of people complaining about the Bad Sport system in GTA V

You don't want the be a bad sport, but you want the freedom to just blow up everything?
That's precisely what you get to do when you get the bad sport title and end up in a server with everyone else doing exactly that

There is zero problem with the system. Once everyone gets separated into the two servers, the line will be drawn in the sand and everyone is happy. You get to blow up everything, and the non-badsports get to enjoy their free roam sans you

And I swear to god, if my friend complains about auto aim being lack of skill based I will find him and smack him. You aren't playing in the autoaim server, so please for the love of god shut up. You don't associate with them, they don't associate with you. You play the game how you want to, and they play the game how they want to. Everyone wins and the paths don't ever cross

It is almost as though rational thought processes in gaming communities has ceased to exist

Oh, and a final thing: Those people who hate dirty racers (people who force the competition into obstacles, other cars or PIT maneuvering them) and constantly complain about them fail to understand the game they're playing. It's GTA. Usually, everyone would be shooting eachother whilst racing, so the next best thing is to use the vehicle as a weapon and take 'em out that way. You didn't brake to keep them out of the sweet spot for a PIT or to get behind them (thus able to pull the same ****, or just streamline your way past) so the only person who should be to blame is yourself. Clean racing is boring. I've had more hilarious times with friends completely trying to murder eachother than simply "just racing"

Hell, I got someone T-Boned by a train. He flew into the air forty feet. We both had a good laugh followed by him enacting revenge on me by using his Luxor to crush my little Mallard (plane races, we always do random. Jets during those are basically tanks and make anything smaller explode on contact while they fly away unharmed 90% of the time)

End of rant

apparently they rolled out an update for windows 8, but since windows 8 didnt change the driver architecture it works for vista and 7 too.

i had to nuke the drivers from orbit and re-install the new ones. i suspect what happened was i installed the old drivers (because i didnt think there would be an update since last time i got some drivers), and the auto updater that came with it decided to download the new drivers without uninstalling the old ones first. the result was an unusable sound card. this is an example of why spamming automatic updates is bad.

I've been having 100% MYSTERY computer problems for a few months now too. Only when running linux, it likes to reboot randomly; W7 runs fine. Memtest shows nothing wrong, HD/SSDs are all working fine, PSU tester says that's fine. When I pulled out the logs they didn't help either; it would just reboot without warning. I've since given up on Linux on my desktop until I get an entirely new computer sometime mid/late 2014. Been tempted to see what BSD does to it but I haven't had the time to try it yet...

I had a BSOD going every time I went into standby mode for a little while, but then it magically stopped.  Now I'm getting this data execution prevention message every time I start up that I'd seen a couple of weeks ago, but then magically went away for a while until just yesterday.  These are the sorts of issues where you just throw your hands up and say, "Whatever."

bsods usually either mean check your memory timing or fix your drivers.

i also realized that the lock ups seem to end eventually. you can wait em out and reboot correctly. but the fact it only happens when posting on forums is disturbing.

It was pretty funny yesterday
My General Manager at work was saying hi to me during shift (usual thing) and started up about the review I had (flying colours). She was wondering where else I worked saying "Don't you work in graphic design?" to which I responded "I don't work"

Laughter ensued by Chef, GM and myself followed by "So then what do you do for money? Sell drugs? Rob places? Are you a prostitute?"

This prompted me to laugh even more "I'm flattered you think I'm a prostitute!"

Chef rolled with that for a bit too followed by me mentioning where my street corner is for the gig.
Good times at work (well, more hobby since I work there once a week)


The entire point of the conversation was basically just to see if I was content working only the one shift for now and to learn what it is I'm trying to do

Ordered a USB modem 'cause my new laptop doesn't have a dailup modem and my old laptop is breaking down. Most recent breakdown is a display failure (probably leaked due to excessive stress on the display, due to crappy hinges breaking down). I'm in the market for a new display, but I'm not sure when I'll actually order one.

The new modem should arrive in one week. This one should have Linux support as well, so I can possibly use it on the old laptop when I'm dicking around with making it a full-fledged debian system.

Also, I updated my forum signature with some links. Click them. You know you want to.  ;)

My job is grating on my soul in a massive way.
I didn't enter an apprenticeship with these people to learn the bastard art of cold calling. TBH, I only took the job because it is infinitely better than the rest that were available.

But now after three months of being in a job-role that is exactly what the swore to my face it wouldn't be, and being thrown on the phones without any real product training and expected to sell maintenance contracts that, I might add, haven't been explained to me or the other apprentice in any other detail than "We essentially go out and clean the units".

I was told I'd be taught about AC, how to survey sights and to at least ghost a BDM. As it stands, three months in and tomorrow will be my first day out of the office, and with no other advice than "listen to what he says to the customer."


So you guys know what? **** it.

I'm going to hold the candle to the devil until after Christmas, all the while looking for a position as an assistant Lab Tech. The job only needs basic GCSEs and my old school is just up the road along with a habit of hiring old students.

If I can't find anything, then I'll grit my teeth and bear the apprenticeship it until I do.

Another option could be to fund further education, you like the science right? Do evening classes or open university. Better now than end up like Michael.

Got laid tonight.  Mostly.  Six times for her and 45 minutes after starting, I was still going, and we called it quits.

Definitely not what I expected for my first time with a woman, rather than a man.

mwll is a crysis wars (formally crysis) mod. mwo is a free to play mmo. though i wouldn't call it an mmo at all, its just another multiplayer arena shooter (like q3a or unreal tournament). there is nothing massive about it. even by arena shooter standards it doesnt really support that many players at a time. supposidly there are unlocks to grind (or pay) for, but im already board with the thing. i can play mwll get more mechs, things that arent mechs, better gameplay, better maps, and on and on and on. even mech 4 with all the mods is better than mwo.

Having left everything until the last minute and being busy tomorrow, my plans for tonight are (in order) after work whiskey with a mate (first time we've both been free to do what was once a regular occurrence in weeks), then swimming for an hour (I haven't been in days, and don't want to get out of the habit), then finalise my taxes, then write a 500 word application letter for the masters course I want to get into. Easy peasy.

Aint procrastination grand? :D

Waiting for someone else to post "the inevitable" response to this because I don't want it to be me.

Personally, I would be leaning towards "major bonus."  I am married, have a dedicated and patient lover, and I have no problem admitting I am more than a little jealous of your "problem."   :p

I just bought a 7" Android Tablet (http://tinyurl.com/nrm9prv) as a birthday present for myself.
It's prized for 199€ on the Carrefour website but for my surprise it was 79€ on their shelves. What surprized me even more was that in the end I paid only 69€ for it. Not complaining, it feels like a nice cheap tablet.

Battery time is of course short 3-5h I think, depending on the use of course, but meh what can you expect from a device of this prize.

omfg. why you still lock up and stuff!

last night things were working well. reinstalled all the things with nay a glitch, even the service pack and it ran fine all night. before i went to bed i did all the other updates. this morning i get lockups though not as severe as before. its pissing me off. fortunately i made a bunch of restore points, one of which i restored, and things are working well again. so i wonder if its a hardware thing.

ive eliminated the power supply and video card as potential failure sources, the only things left are the mobo (which i can afford to replace) and cpu (which i cant). but i think its something with one of the updates thats screwing things up. maybe try winders 8.1. *vomits* makes me wonder if m$ didnt fudge an update to make us all switch.

Today, I started work on my personal Death Scythe. Death to whom? Only various grasses and shrubs that plague the lawns of my home. I promise.  ;)

Anyway, for my stock metal, I'll be using an old lawnmower blade approximately 18 or so inches long, about 3 inches wide, and about 3/16's of an inch thick. My tools are a 4 lb. smithing hammer, a trash pit converted into a forge, and a trusty old bench vise with an area wide enough to be used as an anvil.

The fuel I'm using so far is whatever random crap I can get that'll burn. Cardboard seems to burn well, and has a hot enough temperature to soften the iron so that I can shape it, but not hot enough to do any welding (so, no Japanese style folding).

Managed to bang the blade flat today. For those who don't know, most lawn mower blades have a curve towards the tips. This curve is undesired for the final form of the scythe blade, so it had to go.

I'll pick up work tomorrow, and maybe buy a bag or two of charcoal to see how well it'll fair once I get rid of the cardboard.

I hate colds. Break outs, and **** you think is herpes!

I think this semester is truly out to kill me XD

Suffered a severe breakout thinking it was herpes  - turns out my "cold sores" are some sort of crazy auto-immune reaction caused by severe stress or allergies (possibly even a bacterial infection by a pimple near the lips). Doctors ran two tests to make sure (making that three total), both came out negative for herpes, but they're a little worried at my white blood cell count. They think it may be related to my latent acne or at least tied to my immune systems abnormal behavior recently and will schedule to meet a dermatologist. Other causes could include anti-biotics or some drugs triggering an allergic reaction.

Muhahahaha... I was being a little sarcastic with them at the end, I don't do any **** with unsafe or dangerous sex.

Essentially I've been exhibiting herpes like symptoms with unusual circumstances... I don't have herpes but seem to get the side effects! No weeping blisters or ulceration, just pure pain, random blistering, and swollen lips until it calms down in a week or two.

I'm thinking its something firing off an extreme allergic reaction, or at least with my past acne or skin rashes around the lips (which happen frequently, but are rarely blister inducing). This is not the first time, and for a while I thought I had cold sores. Between intense fever bouts and cold-like symptoms, it would seem to be cold sores (the IGG tests say no), but my guess is open until I see the dermatoligst. It's the unusual severity of the blistering this time.

As a sidenote, doctors told me no mangos, wine (which I drink often). or medications for stomach ulcers as they could potentially cause these symptoms due to allergens, and I'm a frequent wine drinker. And they also said some types of lip balms will induce similar reactions due to varying oils. Apparently there are a few things that kick off allergic reactions that can be mistaken for cold sores and pimples can get infected and lead to bacterial infections that lead to severe ulceration or blisters on the lips... fun.

So I get to start digging through a haystack to find a culprit.

That certainly bears a lot of the hallmarks of an auto-immune disorder of some kind.  Your family doctor should have been able to identify any meds you are taking that can cause that sort of behavior, but are you taking Lamotrigine (Lamictal) for anything?  If so, I'd stop.

I really need to stop answering phones

This morning, guy from work calls me up saying he needs me to cover his shift. I pondered it for twenty minutes, and decided I wanted to do computer **** (making my workplace awesome, dual monitors, sound card, etc) so I said "Na man, got plans"

Five minutes later, my workplace calls
"So the dishwasher just quit"
"****ING ****"

So now I'm working three shifts this week on top of the singular one I usually work per week

Just ordered the parts for my new pc.  Already bought this case (http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/134-phantom-530.html), cpu cooler, and a couple extra case fans a few weeks ago.  Just ordered the mobo, psu, cpu, hdd, ram, and a cheap keyboard (all I have right now is a laptop, so I don't already have a keyboard).  I'll use the integrated graphics for a couple weeks while I get everything set up and I save up for the graphics card (evga GTX 770 or 780).  New specs:

Asus Z87 Deluxe motherboard
Intel i7-4770K processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO fan
G-Skill Ripjaws X 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2400 memory
NZXT Hale90 1000W power supply
WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm hard drive (will get additional HDD and SSD later)

Couldn't find anything on the MS website.  I found the official downloader, but it only accepts retail keys.  I ended up finding a legitimate disk image from a less-than-legitimate source (TPB).  SHA-1 hash confirms the .iso is the official 64-bit RTM.  OEM product key should theoretically work with that.

Anyway, my computer parts are here!  Installed cpu+cooler and ram and connected power supply do make sure nothing's DOA.  Motherboard boots to BIOS just fine, or boots to Arch installer on USB even better.  Taking a break for some food right now, then I'll put it all in the case.    :cool:

Katawa Shoujo is a product of 4chan.

WAIT! Don't let that stop you. It is possibly the most beautiful and emotive thing to come from the Mos Eisley of the internet.

Here is the official synopsis of the game. (http://www.katawa-shoujo.com/about.php)

The particular part that I was referring to, was the arc of a fire-scarred girl with severe confidence issues that the protagonist has the option of entering into a relationship with.

This arc has possibly the most amount of tears and (http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/m/image/1265/25/1265251813323.jpg) moments, but is thoroughly my favorite.

So, I thought you must have to make her cry to get 100% completion, but is it that she is crying because you're not doing it right?

That game made me cry. And not in the d'awwww way.

In other news, got X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance working on a Win XP virtual machine with zero slowdown. XWA even has the XWAUpgrade Craft Pack installed. On top of that, I got PPJoy and GlovePIE working together so I can use the mouse. For the cherry on top, I found a mouse script that replicates the Freespace 2 feel almost completely. Now if only there were keys for Roll Left and Roll Right, I would be in heaven.

Yay, screw my body.

Apparently hormones and my wonky diet are the culprits of the breakouts. With my recent depression and painful mood-swings, it's starting to make a little sense. When the hormones say "fudge it!" the immune system follows suite. I happen to fall into a small subset of males who have severe hormonal shifts like women during menstruation or pregnancy, who develop cold sore like symptoms but are in fact brought on by nutritional defecencies and hormonal storms.

Stress = Immune System Go Nuts! = Breakouts. So literal stress can lead to cold sores (almost). (I've never had "cold sores" due to cold or hot weather).

I tend to suffer a mental breakdown during these breakouts: in this case it's actually a symptom of hormonal imbalance in play. So essentially "good mental health" is going to be necessary to avoid my stupid problem in the future, and well all know how well life goes XP. I will admit, I am paranoid, but never did I fathom it was actually this extensive XP. I didn't expect that in the literal sense that a mental state actually will control my rate of breakouts.

So I'll start looking to the route of the "eternal optimist" even though I'm really a dour cynic at heart.

The irony of this situation is that I'll be using a diet used to treat cold sores and outbreaks to reduce the severity of my own. Peppermint oil is great for reducing swelling of said blisters, and Lysine can actually slow down the symptoms and heal them quicker. I'll need to start adding licorice to it as well to encourage a stronger immune system and faster healing process. Lysine is good at managing anxiety, while the Licorice is supposed make me "sing songs and dance with butterflies."

The dermatologist and immunologist sent me to a naturopath after deducing from a few blood tests that hormones we're screwing with my immune system, and badly I might add. So the best way to deal with my problem is to: live and eat better, so that way I can hopefully avoid recurring stress-outs that cause my immune system to go beserk. I.E. I have to stop being cynical.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

In news of my own. I had a rendezvous today. I have a stomach ache that is stubborn and hasn't gotten away since yesterday night. I couldn't sleep all night because of this. Fell asleep after 7 Am. Woke up ~ 12 Pm. It's 2 Pm. Freaking thing is still there. Not sure if I should go to the meeting. I can go Monday at the worst case though.

It's like this constant bloat that doesn't seem to part. Took some pills now. Hope it works.

Discovered a bug in my Quaternion::FromRotationMatrix function. "Fixed" it by writing a brand new implementation which is considerably slower, and replacing the contents of the first if block of the old one with the new implementation I wrote. Herp derp.

Posting this here instead of in my game engine thread because it's tiny, I'd be triple-posting otherwise, and technically it qualifies as "WHIYL".

thinking about getting another arduino. i was gonna get a due, cause its arm, and has a lot of pins, but cant seem to think of any projects i want to do which cant be done with a bare mcu minus the overpriced and overhyped dev board. a leonardo on the other hand gives me immediate usb hacking capabilities, and costs half as much, unless i get a ripoff from ebay (which i may just do). i also want some atmega328s and atmega32u4s smd chips for some other projects, now that i have smd soldering capabilities.

also i added some basic newtonian physics to nukesim, as the basis for porting my flight model i made for freespace over to the stand alone game engine.

Parents are home from week-long vacation (as of Sunday). So no more kittycat coming to sleep on my bed during the day, and I doubt he'll stay if I bring him to bed at night. Ah well...

Did some more programming on stupid DoodPoseyTool. Maybe progress? Still having problems with constraint stuffs.

Bloody hell, this clinical depression is getting the best of me sometimes. Just about trashed my room angrily looking for my keys (since I am practically immobile without them), not sure if I broke a few things, it's a miracle my PC is actually still working as I gave it a very hard kick whilst it was running. Room is a complete mess right now.
Feeling better now, although really tired out and weak-ish. Haven't been to school for the last few days to boot, so not sure how that is going to work out.

Just one of those weeks  I geuss.

You can probably fix that yourself, y'know.  Plumbing is pretty easy unless they're copper lines requiring soldering.

and soldering them isn't that hard if you have the tools. you just need a propate torch, solder, and flux. if you have the fittings and one of those cutters you can actually splice the stuff without soldering. that copper tubing sucks, unless you are building a distillery.

My video card will be here Monday, thus completing my new computer.  Got an eVGA 770 for $330 from Newegg, comes with three free games (Splinter Cell Blacklist, AC4: Black Flag, and Arkham Origins) and a $10 rebate.  All discounts taken into account, the card would effectively cost $170.  Realistically, the only game of those I would've bought anyway was AC4, so $270, or $260 if I bother with the $10 rebate.

A little worried, though.  Newegg sells the 02G-P4-2774-KR model for $356, and the 02G-P4-2776-KR model for $330 (with the same clock speed--the only difference I can find is the arrangement of the power connector).  Wondering why they would discount this one over the other one with identical specs.  This one is even cheaper than the non-oc'd 02G-P4-2773-KR ($335, no rebate).

First time I've spent this much on a computer.

In less ****ed news, I believe I've fixed the constraint system in my DoodPoseyTool. Seems all I had to do was change the way my skeletal joint constraints do their angular response to linear offset so that it applies the rotation symmetrically.

So I had a very interesting evening... work was usual and all but the real kicker is what happened afterwards.

There are two things that I did differently. Usually, I don't have a phone with money on it (pay as you go) and usually I don't go to the main Park Royal bus stop.

I show up there, no one else there. Later I'm joined by an older Asian lady and a stumbling gal. At first I figured she had one too many, but as she got up from falling, it turns out she had this pretty fair sized laceration on her leg. I didn't notice it at first when she spoke to me, but after seeing the amount of blood, off to the cell phone for 911.

After answering a profuse amount of questions, my phone decides "Yeah I'm going to hang up on you". This is where having money plays in since they called me back and I was able to answer it (no longer considered an 'Emergency Number' so not free) and resume being on the line for the gal who was casually bleeding at a bus stop.

Shout out to the bus driver who stuck around and another shout out to the fellow who gave up his shirt to help stop the bleeding until the paramedics showed up and took it from there.

Interesting day indeed. All because I decided to walk to a different bus stop.

Deathfun, good one! Cheers :D.

If you ever get a call back from a 911 call center, you'll notice it usually shows up as a local number on your caller ID.  Working in a hotel where the number for an outside line is 9, I've had many guests accidentally dial 911 by dialing the country code twice.  Naturally, we get more than a few calls from our local 911 call center asking if there was an emergency.  Rather bothersome.  Been trying to change that number.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over <number goes here> (posts)
Post by: Grizzly on November 24, 2013, 02:59:41 pm
From Deathfun's post, I got the impression that you need money on your pre-paid sim (or something similar) in order to be able to call 911, which seems a little bit odd.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over <number goes here> (posts)
Post by: niffiwan on November 24, 2013, 03:27:37 pm
I thought he was saying that the phone credit was needed to receive the return call from the 911 call centre, not to make the initial emergency call.  We don't pay to receive mobile calls where I live, but I think you do in the USA?

And props to deathfun for doing a good deed!  :yes:
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over <number goes here> (posts)
Post by: Mongoose on November 24, 2013, 03:54:13 pm
Yeah, if you're doing some sort of pay-as-you-go plan (I am too), you generally have to pay if you make or receive certain calls, depending on the restrictions of your plan; I know mine charges $1 as a daily fee every time you make or receive a call, but it waives the additional per-minute fee if it's from someone in the same network.  Obviously emergency calls will never cost you anything to make, but if the emergency call center had to call you back, that'd just show up as a regular phone number, and you'd get charged whatever the usual rate is.  deathfun's experience shows that this could present a problem if certain circumstances are met.

Had I not had my phone charged up with money, them calling back wouldn't even show. I wouldn't get a call, and they wouldn't be able to reach me

Also, didn't add the part where the gal I was talking about earlier was previously walking in the woods and was attacked. Her stumbling around was because of the blood loss from the walk

Her talking to me was about calling 911 which after seeing her leg, was a no brainer

New keyboard get! And it has a numpad and a pause key! Layout will take a bit of getting used to, but meh  :blah: Keyboard came with a mouse... didn't need a new mouse, but at least the keyboard and mouse together only take up one USB port.

Not sure I like the idea of transmitting my keystrokes wirelessly from the keyboard to the USB thingy... unless it's very short-range or encrypted, it seems like you could remote-keylog this thing... a bit troublesome. :nervous:



I knew it took two AA batteries and two AAA batteries, but I was surprised to find out that the bigger ones went in the mouse and the smaller ones went in the keyboard.

if you look at their data rates, they are about the same and is a tiny fraction of what the transceiver pair can push. ive read the data sheets for about half a dozen short range rf chips. they use insanely little power, the leds on your keyboard use more power than the radios. mice usually have a super bright led (or laser) which can suck up current like crazy on your mouse.

Seconded. Wireless optical mice need a slightly beefier battery to power the laser diode/LED. Smarter ones know how to drastically dim the light source to detect just enough movement before going full blast.

The range on these things is about the size of a room, if not less, so if someone wants to hijack your transmissions and keylog them that way they probably need to be sitting on your lap.

Bluetooth is naturally hard to crack into, you'll need the MAC addresses of both devices (The keyboard and the dongle or transceiver it's talking to) and something to figure out when and where they're going to do a frequency hop. This is perhaps one reason why you don't see many FOSS software for the PS3 controller on the PC.

it can be hard to crack into, but that requires the manufacturer to give a damn first. they start cutting corners in the firmware, etc, and all those built in security features break down. bluetooth isnt the only wireless standard either (id love to see it blown out of the water in favor of something better, like those nordic ism single chip radios are pretty awesome, but as far as i can tell, arent licensed for consumer products).

Yeah, another thing that'll make it even harder for someone to hack my bluetooth keyboard is the fact that I don't have a bluetooth keyboard. At least, it's got a USB thingamajob i have to plug into the PC... so that means it's not bluetooth, right? Idunno derp.

I think that would be Bluetooth, unless it's just a plain wireless radio signal like on a cordless phone (do they still use that for wireless stuff?).  The dongle would just be your receiver unit.

its all 2.4 ghz to me (also known as the ism band). bluetooth is a complete stack of hardware and software, so a complete solution. a solution that has no competition with the exception of whatever proprietary specific purpose protocols are in use by manufacturers of wireless peripherals. logitech has its own radio standard, as does ms. idk whatever happened to wireless usb, it was supposed to blow bluetooth out of the water, but i guess it turned to vapor. i personally think bluetooth is utter crap.

It's standard on Lenovo ThinkPad's, I don't believe any of their other lines have it, and they seem to have a patent lockdown on the TrackPoint.

the new laptop arrived today.  it's probably going to be returned.  windows 8 is really, REALLY terrible.  if i wanted a computer that works like a tablet i would have bought a goddamn tablet.  i can't stand it after only about an hour of initial setup.  i've heard you can install windows 7 on an 8 license.  does anyone know anything about this?    i might try 8.1, but that will break the SLI graphics (pretty much the main reason i got this).  i also want to try a fresh install of 8 to kill the bloatware, but i'm always wary of doing that kind of stuff to a laptop and having all the stuff like the wireless radio and trackpoint stop working.  it also looks like a lot of the bloatware is provided by windows anyway.  i'm not using your goddamn app store.  or registering a microsoft account.  EVER. 

also, the lack of a trackpoint is way more annoying that i thought it was going to be.  partly due to the touchpad being poorly designed.

thing i dont like about 3d printers. every other week i hear about a mythical printer that is going to be in the < $500. it goes on kickstarter, and becomes instant vapor. the ones that do make it through are priced closer to 3k. now there are a couple slightly less than 1k printers that look worth buying (solidoodle looks nice), but still out of my range of affordability. ive given thought to buying a kit, but i doubt i will get very far when it comes time to write code (look at how far ive got on my helo autopilot).

the new laptop arrived today.  it's probably going to be returned.  windows 8 is really, REALLY terrible.  if i wanted a computer that works like a tablet i would have bought a goddamn tablet.  i can't stand it after only about an hour of initial setup.  i've heard you can install windows 7 on an 8 license.  does anyone know anything about this?    i might try 8.1, but that will break the SLI graphics (pretty much the main reason i got this).  i also want to try a fresh install of 8 to kill the bloatware, but i'm always wary of doing that kind of stuff to a laptop and having all the stuff like the wireless radio and trackpoint stop working.  it also looks like a lot of the bloatware is provided by windows anyway.  i'm not using your goddamn app store.  or registering a microsoft account.  EVER. 

also, the lack of a trackpoint is way more annoying that i thought it was going to be.  partly due to the touchpad being poorly designed. 

Install Debian

Studying for finals, 25 minutes until my International Relations exam. I received the highest score in the class on my Foreign Policy final two semesters ago, and I didn't even study, so I don't foresee any problems.

Will be buying a computer in six months if everything goes well with my new study (Geo-Information-Sciences and all that stuff - mapping). Already the dubbing has started: An AMD FX8350 for better performance in games that support eigth cores and workload applications which do the same (which are those, anyway?), or the more ... well rounded i5?

I'm stuck in an emotional conflict which is really starting to wear me down

While back, I had started talking to a friend a great deal (long distance friend) which ended up with my keeping her together as she went through a ****ty bloody time (relationship ****). We started talking everyday, etc, and inevitable became really close. After a point, we realized that we really like eachother but the problem with distance and some other factors considered, it isn't the best situation.

In comes in a dating profile which lead to her meeting a guy. Initially, I had no problems with this (she needed it, I couldn't provide the physical etc). I had come to the conclusion that it was better for her to take this opportunity and see it through. We of course, didn't stop our shenanigans which leads to us both still being tightly knit and perhaps improving upon that

As of late though, its starting to drain me emotionally. She makes me feel things I haven't really felt ever and the fact I can't see any of that through hits me inside

The feeling isn't one sided though; we both have that for eachother. So I try to do what's right and promote the local rather than myself as opposed to the side of me that wants her for myself (because again, details that support decision not worth getting into). It's a conflict that eats away at me

Not the first time I've put others ahead of myself, but it just doesn't get any easier

She's my best and closest friend I have and this ****ing sucks
I cannot simply walk away, and I can't change the dynamic. If the dynamic changes, the relationship changes and what we built simply crumbles. That is simply not an option

-drama-

long distance relationships never work. i maybe have had 20 of them. i never met one of them in person. it does come to pass every now and again that one person or the other gets lucky and finds somebody to **** or worse, a local relationship. at which point **** hits the fan at mach 27. that has gone both ways with me. for a long distance relationship to work. the distance must be reduced to 0.

human impatience and lust will almost certainly trump any commitment to a person at a distance. the only way it works is if one person says **** it, drops everything, sells all their crap, tells their boss to foad, and just goes for it. at which point cross your fingers and hope to hell shes not psycho, diseased, homeless, or fat (unless you are into that kinda thing).

@ Deathfun:
Well, it sounds impulsive and naively optimistic, but you could shoot the moon and move.  I did.  Granted, she'd already asked me to ask her to marry her (don't ask), so I had a fairly good idea that the relationship was going to last, and we'd also gone to school together before moving apart, but... I guess I'm just saying that sometimes the rational decision isn't necessarily the right one.  We're human beings, with all of the flaws that implies.  What is logically best for us is not always what is going to make us happy.  With me and my wife, we had to go against pretty significant odds, a 500 mile move, a university transfer, and disapproving parents to make it work.  You know, in the end, the whole "us versus them" thing kind of cemented the deal.  We have each other's backs, no matter what.

Sometimes there's a happy ending.

Or in this case the mind-numbingly stubborn.  :p

It isn't all sunshine and roses and happily-ever-afters; I don't want to give the wrong idea.  On one metric, I'm living the effing American Dream (tm) with a wife, a mortgage, 2 jobs, 2 cars, 2 kids, 3 cats, etc, but we've got plenty of demons and baggage just like everyone else.  Both of us are mental basket cases on various amounts of medication.  Some days work feels like it is trying to suck out my soul with a straw.  (You know that TNG episode where Data dreams that Dr. Crusher is sucking Riker's brain out through a straw?  Kind of like that.)  The very nature of my employment makes me constantly question whether I am making the world any better for my being in it or if I am "part of the problem," but I am constrained to this job by economics, training, and geography.  Some days the demands of her job leave the whole family reeling because her job really DOES matter and she is helping people who really need it, and she can't bring herself to say "no" to someone who needs help, so by the end of the day there is just nothing left.  Some days the kids (even though I know they are absolute angels compared to 99.9% of the little hellions out there) just about drive me insane. 

But we don't have to face it alone.  That makes all the difference.  So yeah, we're ridiculously lucky.

after seemingly avoiding me for two years after visiting her while studying abroad in scotland, she's finally talked to me again a couple times recently, and we're planning on meeting up when i'm back home over christmas.  problem is this comes after she just started dating a guy.  from scotland.  i'm really unsure how to handle this.  even if i decide to try and say something, i'll probably wuss out anyway just like the past 10 or however many times.  backup plan is to call/text/message after the fact, but that feels like a really terrible way to go about it.  i've come close before, but always stopped and resolved "next time we meet."  i guess the stupid, chicken**** way is better than not at all though.

Financially, the fact I'm *not* American and another factor prevent that.

Looking back on my childhood, I remember putting StarCraft: Ghost on my Christmas list every year. This practice continued well after Blizzard indefinitely postponed the game. My poor parents were probably the only people going from store to store, still trying to find StarCraft: Ghost in 2009.

Part of me is still holding out for Blizzard to release it for GameCube, with fully functional online multiplayer through classic Battle.net.

the more i try to use my new laptop to give it a fair shake before sending it back, the more i absolutely hate windows 8 and to a lesser extent the laptop itself.  8.1 already killed the SLI (second 750m via ultrabay), but now the last batch of updates windows installed broke the nvidia chips altogether and it's now using intel HD.  i've realized that the display, while one of the few actual 1080 ones on a laptop, is awful.  colors are extremely washed out and it has the worst shifting i've ever seen on any monitor.  overall this thing is inferior in almost everything that matters for its use to my old one from 2006.

the non-working SLI is a known problem that it's up to lenovo to fix.  the vbios on the graphics chips needs updated to work with 8.1.  **** knows why BOTH of them stopped working though.  and for all the 'intel HD (4200 in my case) is actually pretty good,' it is outperformed by the 2006 beast with a core 2 duo and mobility x1400.  at least in flash games.  haven't played anything 3d or HD videos yet.  the latter will stutter and frame drop horribly on the old one if it's in low power mode, but play just fine when i let the cpu run full power.

In full HD! The power source in my PC is also interesting... heavy (~3 kg). Supposedly its max output is 230W, but while running 3 HDDs, a DVD, HD4650 (and rest) in some serious gaming i think I'm exceeding the value :ick:.
Both graphics costed ~70 $.  :nervous:

You are going to do well with that 5770 then, I am still rather suprised at it's ability to run BF4 on full hd with a... non competetive framerate (although I suspect I am more CPU limited then GPU limited atm).

Just have ****ing fun! Do that more fellas. :) It's not just about getting a girl! ;)

Drama/bad **** is happening down at the wastewater treatment plant where my dad works. One of the operators killed himself several months ago. One of the girls working there quit. Another guy who we thought had a stroke turned out to have lung cancer which migrated to his brain. Another guy is going to get a job somewhere else in the spring. And to top it all off, neither of the two new hirees were able to pass their exams.

You are going to do well with that 5770 then, I am still rather suprised at it's ability to run BF4 on full hd with a... non competetive framerate (although I suspect I am more CPU limited then GPU limited atm).
Willl my Athlon 64 3200+ keep up?
Will my 230W power source survive?
And seriously. HD 5770 uses 90W in-game, 3HDDs & DVD - 20 W. Add the processor - it's 70W. I wonder if the power source will work, old HD 4650's box said that it requires 400W power source :nervous:.

Still, these graphics cards are pretty power-saving. HD 4650 took ~ 50W, HD 5770 takes 90W, while maintaining over 5 times more efficiency. Sweet :P.

Grab a better PSU, at least a 500W or so. The 200W will last for non-gaming activaties, but any sustained gaming would likely cause power fluctuations/bad stuff to happen. Newegg, and a few other vendors, offer a quick PSU calculator that seem to be fairly accurate.

Newegg tells me that my current configuration requires 330W. Interesting. The computer was used it that config for gaming for about 2,5 years. :) Power source never suffered any problems.
My PC is Fujitsu Esprimo p5600. That (case, motherboard, processor, HDD and the PSU, ~ 50 $ :nervous: ) stuff is very "non-standard" : (http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/professionalpc/ESPRIMO/Images/EsprimoP_int.jpg)
As you see, the source is pretty big and heavy :). I sometimes wondered if they wrote there a wrong number (maybe it's 450 W?) :P.
Yeah, i think my equipement will keep up. Me has a 350W Feel III somewhere, just in case. I rather worry if my processor will be too slow for HD 5770.

I am so done with living in a room in a shared house. Too many cases of food disappearing and other weirdness. Thank God I'm moving out in a week and a half.

EDIT: Wait, maybe I actually did finish it and that's why there's none left. Now I can't remember. See, that's the thing -- after your food has mysteriously disappeared once, then you're forever questioning your sanity/memory whenever food that you thought would be in the fridge isn't there.

EDIT 2: And yes, I've labeled my stuff at times, but it's not clear how much it even helps because of ^

EDIT 3: Aaaaand my half-gallon of milk disappeared, welp, it was almost gone anyway. It's not like people don't know that it's not theirs; I've always had mine in the same spot in the fridge every time. I'll label the new half-gallon, much good may it do me. Like I said,

The athlon 64 3200+ will not survive BF4 - I have a core 2 quad Q6600 and it's limiting BF4 performance - BF is very cpu intensive

So, this is my first ever post in this thread.
This year, for the first time in 5 years, I will go to a new year's eve party !

What's changed in my life ? I don't know. I like to party, but I don't like special occasions (Birthdays, including mine, Bastille Day, Christmas, New Year's eve, Diwali, Aïd... you name it). I used to make sure to always be on the move (I like the bar in high speed trains) on 31/12, and celebrate with a drink, maybe on webcam with a close friend living far away.

What about you, people ?

Had planned to spend NYE this year doing exactly what I did last year - drinking on the beach, alternating across a sandbar between a nice warm river and the sea, then falling asleep listening to the waves. Probably my best NYE ever, but everyone who was keen to repeat it has pulled out, so I'm not sure what I'm up to this year.

Bah, suffered numerous back to back colds and flus after stress routed my immune system, but finished the semester without crashing badly until Christmas.

Been chilling since the 25th and working on getting better, provided I can survive my chronic insomnia.

Cool news, is next semester I'm done with school, and will debate the value of grad school and possibly a second major in either philosophy, ancient studies or theology in the next five years is plausible. Also started watching and reading stuff by Michio Kaku and other Physicists - I can now see why Materialist/Empiricist and Determinist bent world views are inherently unstable - arguing that "Free Will" is nothing more than a mechanical response runs directly opposite of Electrons jiggling at their own leisure. Who knew that even Science! would challenge dogmatic ideologies perpetuated by its own excess?

apparently it's impossible to find a decent laptop with a trackpoint anymore.  my requirements are simple.  1920x1080 (or better i guess) screen res.  decently powerful, but doesn't have to be a workhorse.  trackpoint that has thumb buttons (lenovo's retarded new idea is that you click the entire damn touchpad with your thumb instead of having goddamn normal buttons).  <$1000.  and most importantly, no mother****ing windows 8.

Saw Frozen with my girlfriend, I thought it was very good.  Strong female leads, nice songs and well done animation.  Between this and Tangled I think Disney really has hit its stride as far as making female characters that can do all the heavy lifting.  I was also half expecting the snowman character to be annoying but was in he fact pretty enjoyable.

Spoiler:
My only gripe is I thought the face heel turn by Hans was poorly handled and unnecessary, its like they needed to shoehorn in an antagonist.  While all his behavior prior to the plot twist made it surprising it also just didn't mesh with his aims.  Lets face it, he handled the crisis management of the townsfolk in a benevolent manner and simultaneously kept Elsa from getting blood on her hands by killing the Duke's goons and saved her from a cross bow bolt only to turn around and try to kill her and Anna a little later in some half baked power grab was a stretch.  I dunno.  Other than that it was pretty great.

@Mongoose : beers ?!
That's what I had for NYE :

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/la-trappe-quadrupel/4565/
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/maredsous-10-tripel/2527/
And a bit of bad champagne at 0:00. We switched back to good beer at 0:01.

Oh, and I found THE girl at this party. Left the party together, got lost in Paris trying to find an open metro station, finally had a wonderful breakfast in a café.
Then I had to take a train and go back to my life. Which sucks right now.

I can't sleep worth a damn and have been on an emotional rollercoaster this last month
To boot I've started working more, got pissed off at myself for ****ing something small up on a passport application (easy enough fix apparently, just gotta call and hopefully things will sort out) and have been through hell in terms of holiday ****. **** you guests at our restaurant. **** you dayside for being so ****ing ****TY AT YOUR JOBS

My intention right now is to go back to an old method of sleeping. Alcohol
I hope it works out and will correct some problems of exhaustion and probably mood. Then I can start dealing with the other conflicting emotional crap I've put myself through

EDIT: SO MUCH FOR THAT PLAN
So much for a coma. Two spurts of three hour sleep (I think anyways, I don't remember but I think I woke up to take a piss at some point) and I'm still intoxicated, feeling like ****

Just make sure that there are still times when you do not want to drink. Make sure that these times are essential to your life.
That's one of the boundaries I had to make up to be sure I was not becoming dependant on alcohol.

my 'write a video card in verilog' project hit a roadblock when i failed to source the resistors neccisary to build a 3 channel, 9-bit resistive ladder dac with the parts in my scrapheap. i need 12 resisters of one value, another 6 at 1/2 that value, all 1% tolerance, and 3 low value trim pots < 1kohm. i have resistors in a lot of values, but not enough of the right ones to do anything. i may need to temporarily drop down to a 6 bit dac till i can get moar parts.

meh, looked at dacs on digikey, nothing that works for me. so i went to ebay and found a bunch of 1% resistors for 4 bucks. unfortunately they will take a month to get here. might just get some at radio shack.

My 2-3 week of impromtu mod vacation seems to be almost over. It'll be like another 3 days or so for me to get back up to speed with... whatever I was working with.

Did have some cool happenings on Dwarf Fortress, though. I finally got a fort with over 100 citizens that wasn't starving or drinking itself to death, but I did have a situation.

Population was approximately 80 or so dwarfs at the time, and quite a few of them would vomit a bit, maybe vomit up some blood too. They'd hike it over to the hospital, but as soon as a Doc got over there they would wake up from their "rest" state and hi-tail it out of there.

I couldn't figure out what was the source, I had suspected that they might've been sick of listening to the Mayor give the same old speech about the Increasingly Tragic Tale of Dumplin on months on end, but after a month or two of him resting his laurels, the dwarfs were still sick.

Then, I found a warlock spy had infiltrated the fortress. He was eyeballing the refuse pile one too many times. I had just finished carving out the grave site, so I thought it fitting to lock him in there with some empty coffins and have him become one with the refuse.

That seemed to have helped for about a year, but it sprang back up again. I finally noticed that the dwarfs would go to a drink stockpile, take a swig of something, and then haul-ass to hospital, puking out blood as they went. I checked my stocks to see what might've been up, and I found a new Masterwork type of drink: Nether Grour. The hint right by it, (poisonous), was what tipped me off what was happening. In true dorfy Fun fashion, my drink stock consisted of about 224 units of the Grour, and about 100 total of something that was actually drinkable. I immediately marked the Grour for dumping, and promptly find out that the rest of the drinks were snatched up by thirsty dwarfs.

Well, it almost did drink itself to death, actually.


P.S.
Oh, and I've got a 1 year old Lich running around summoning a Bone Golem every now and then. Yes, this Dwarf was actually born a Lich, and nobody seems to think that's out of the ordinary.

Progress on FPS stuff minimal. Minor progress on soldier dood model. Minor progress on DoodPoseyTool. Delays. Procrastination. Wasted time thinking about "magical solutions" e.g. "throw neural nets at it". Reviewed status of FPS engine and whether soldier could stay upright if I disabled the cheaty angular-momentum destroying thing; he couldn't. Disappointment.

My vision has become blurry over the last month to the point that I have trouble reading even large text and can't safely drive. :( Seems to be a rare side effect of a medication. (The great thing about rare side effects is that they obviously happen to someone and little is known about them because they're rare.) Looks like it'll likely get better on its own, but it could take a month or more. It's been over a week and no improvement yet. Needless to say, it brings my work for HLP grinding to a halt.

(And no, it's not from spending too much time watching TV or playing games or what have you. I've been getting that a lot and it got old fast. :rolleyes:)

I am really regretting signing up to host a live-action roleplaying event at the next convention. When I came up with the idea about 6 months ago, I thought it would be a good idea and fairly straight forward. Now that it's only a month away though, I have no idea what I'm going to do for the event. I simply don't have the drive for roleplaying anymore.

I don't want to cancel the panel either, since that looks bad and they would have to find a replacement panel on such short notice. This leaves only two options, I either need to find someone who is passionate and experienced in such things to help me, or I soldier through it alone and hope for the best.

Medication's already been adjusted, but it could take another week or two to see if things improve. If they don't, then we'll have to re-evaluate the diagnosis. Suspecting things like rare, poorly documented side effects is necessarily taking a step into Speculationland. Results from various diagnostic tests are normal so far, which is a very good sign at least.

I find that these days I just suck at gaming anything even on the easiest of difficulties. Destroyed attention span aside (damn this instantaneous generation!!!), the only game IMHO I am reasonably good at has a playerbase full of trouble, to the point that a single round of multiplayer with said troublesome players would either result in non-stop shouting/yelling, vulgarities being thrown around, or even worse, fist fights. The game itself taking the cash-cow direction just makes it worse... Marketing, marketing, marketing...

TL;DR, still stuck in a lull rut, unable to do anything. Hopefully things will turn out better at the end of the year. In the meantime, still lurking but not really keeping track of any developments on HLP... (is my install still 3.6.13? :lol: :banghead:)

I wouldn't say that. I'm still using a Nokia 3310 (or 20, can't remember). And buy money cards to charge it up. For reference: That brick is pretty much as old as HLP. It does not even have color. Those things were and remain almost unbreakable, it's small, it's light and the battery holds for about two weeks. So that's at least half of your concerns out of the picture already. ;) (I completely agree to your point though, which is why I have been rebelling to get a new phone for such a long time. Going as it is, it'll probably never break unless I drop it onto a road and it gets rolled over by a car.

Grab a Technician class Ham/Amateur Radio Operator License, you'll be given access to some radio bands that allow up to 28Kbps, 96Kbps, or possibly greater. I haven't checked the band plan lately, so they might've made a GHz band open to operators too.

I wouldn't say that. I'm still using a Nokia 3310 (or 20, can't remember). And buy money cards to charge it up. For reference: That brick is pretty much as old as HLP. It does not even have color. Those things were and remain almost unbreakable, it's small, it's light and the battery holds for about two weeks. So that's at least half of your concerns out of the picture alrady. ;) (I completely agree to your point though, which is why I have been rebelling to get a new phone for such a long time. Going as it is, it'll probably never break unless I drop it onto a road and it gets rolled over by a car.
One more for the anti-smart-phone section of HLP! :)

i wonder if im the only sob on this board to try to pipe bits over a cb radio. data rate was horrible but it worked. **** the fcc.

Grab a Technician class Ham/Amateur Radio Operator License, you'll be given access to some radio bands that allow up to 28Kbps, 96Kbps, or possibly greater. I haven't checked the band plan lately, so they might've made a GHz band open to operators too.

nah i have some sexy 1km/2mbit ism modules to play with. not sure the legality, but its not like i live anywhere near civilization. there are also single chip wifi solutions now for short range stuffs.

360 controllers used 2.4ghz radios. new ones probibly the same. the wii-u used wifi for its controllers. lots of stuff is 2.4 ghz like bluetooth, wifi (sometimes also uses 5.8ghz), and many ism modules like the ones im using.

thats actually why i have such a low opinion of bluetooth. its fairly weak in terms of both range and throughput, its power consumption is high if you try to get any range or throughput out of it. its protocols and driver stacks are totally insane. the only time it really works is when those stacks are replaced with proprietary ones (like the ones game consoles use for their controllers). it is not completely cross compatible like usb is (usb hid and cdc classes for example will work on anything including some mcu dev boards). yes, its not wireless, but when you get to the application layer that is totally not relevant.

currently trying to port hackvision asteroids to run on a $10 lcd i have lying around, rather than using tv out.

8-bit game programming is horrible. things like using unsigned char vectors is really playing havok. they are checking the overflow register to see if an astroid needs to be moved to the other side of the screen. this especially troublesome since the new screen has a 320x240 resolution. i had to change all those to ints (i have memory to play with now that i deleted that sw frame buffer). then get rid of the clever but unreadable overflow hack.

also the old bitmap code just paged bytes directly into the software framebuffer. since i have a hardware frame buffer (on the other side of a spi bus), and the lcd library im using doesn't have a page byte call. i have to place them one at a time with setPixel() which is slow. the display probibly supports one, but it wasnt added to the library (il have to check the datasheet for that one).

another thing, for every draw call there is another call to undraw what was drawn. this is really tedious. i tried commenting out the contents of the undraw function and blanking the screen each frame but this lead to annoying flickering. all in all this has been a fun project.

got most of the bugs out of asteroids. made the controls less retarded. there is still some bugs with the saucers, getting stuck, not looping around right, not removing the bitmaps from the screen after its been destroyed. then there are some uglies to clean up, like the logo screen not being centered, the text sizes, things like that. maybe add color to the bitmaps.

all this was to see what the lcd could do. i kinda want to use it as a monocle hud for r/c projects. i could fly mah choppa with telemetry for example. it seems the serial interface would be sufficient to display some gauges roll/pitch ladder and heading gauge. of course i got to build all the other crap first. not sure if its bright enough though, it has to reflect of a piece of acrylic and still be visible under daylight conditions. i may need one of those oled displays for that. i really wouldnt need color for this, but resolution is imoprtant. there are some cheap ones out there.

current project: make a 640x480x16 camera module talk to an arduino and spew video out the serial port. my mcu doesnt have enough ram for a frame buffer so im running it at 8-bit qqvga (160x120x8). i have enough ram to cache a couple lines of video. the 8 bit format is raw, so its actually GRB422, since ccds have two green cells a red and a blue, this gives 2 bits each. the 2 green can be rounded together. in fact im rounding them all together to give me 2 bit grey, then im shifting off the lsb so i can pack 8 in each byte. this should make all the ones and zeros form an image in my serial terminal.

i got most of it done but i need to do a few interrupts to handle vsync, hsync and pixel clock. the first two simply reset counters, and the last one signals when to sample pixels on an 8 bit data bus. i didnt really plan ahead and put these signals on pins that trigger hardware interrupts, so i have to use pin change interrupts, and i have one of those for each port. unfortunately i put all 3 signals on the same ****ing port. on top of that pin change interrupts dont give any indication of what the pin changed to. i figure il just compare the current state of the pins with the previous state so i can see what changed. its either that or rewire everything for the 3rd time.

theres also the i2c bus for configuring the camera. so it looks like i get to read 5 pages of register descriptions (all to find the 2 or 3 registers i need to set to make things work the way i want).

FYI everyone who regularly visits #hard-light, #freespace, and #scp: BotenAlfred now has a "!mail <nick> <message>" command (e.g. "!mail Kopachris your bot is bad and you should feel bad").  Messages will be stored and delivered the next time that nick partakes in conversation.  Messages can also be manually retrieved (e.g. if you don't feel like saying anything in the channel to trigger delivery) by use of the !mail command without any parameters.

This is a highly-requested feature according to super-scientific surveys (read: I asked some people in the middle of the night if it'd be useful, and they said "sure").

Some of you may have remembered me *****ing about my college's ridiculous computer lab policies last year. Well they're at it again and this time it's much worse. They got rid of the pen-and-paper sign in sheet and are making us sign into the computer using our student ID, which makes a bit more sense, but their servers are incredibly slow and take about 5-10 minutes to process the login request.

In addition, they have removed Firefox from all of the computers and are forcing people to use Internet Explorer, which is absolutely atrocious. Since they removed Firefox, they also got rid of Adblock Plus and have even prevented it from being added to Internet Explorer. Now you can't even listen to Pandora while you write your college essays, because there are ads every few minutes.

This is completely backwards, rather than making their computers safer, they've made them more suspectible to viruses, keyloggers and the like. People are ****ing morons and will be clicking on ads, downloading malware and destroying these computers. I swear, I'm going to have to take this up with the dean, because whoever did this deserves to be fired. /rant

My vision has become blurry over the last month to the point that I have trouble reading even large text and can't safely drive. :( Seems to be a rare side effect of a medication. (The great thing about rare side effects is that they obviously happen to someone and little is known about them because they're rare.) Looks like it'll likely get better on its own, but it could take a month or more. It's been over a week and no improvement yet. Needless to say, it brings my work for HLP grinding to a halt.

(And no, it's not from spending too much time watching TV or playing games or what have you. I've been getting that a lot and it got old fast. :rolleyes:)

The blurring is now so bad that I can't read books or magazines anymore, and I can't read signs from more than a foot or two away.

This is kind of terrifying. :shaking:

It's been going so long now that I can hardly remember what it was like to see clearly. :blah:

Luckily, my doctor's referral went through and the head of the neuro-ophthalmology department at UCSF (top-ranked medical school (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCSF#School_of_Medicine)) wants to see me tomorrow. If someone like that wants to see you right away, that means you are a very interesting case.

The funny thing is that I can see most things fine or maybe with a a slight blur for distant objects. It's details like text (especially computer screens) and for some reason traffic lights that are problematic.

I wonder if you can even read this. Hopefully you'll recover, after all, they gave you a month timeline, so maybe you'll recover after that medication is out of your system. For what it's worth, I have you up in my top bracket of "nice people" on HLP, even though we've never/barely spoken, so I'll be sad if this is the end for you. :(

My vision has been like that since I was in primary school, but that's just regular short-sightedness. I wear contacts now to fix it, but I hope your thing improves on its own.

My vision has become blurry over the last month to the point that I have trouble reading even large text and can't safely drive. :( Seems to be a rare side effect of a medication. (The great thing about rare side effects is that they obviously happen to someone and little is known about them because they're rare.) Looks like it'll likely get better on its own, but it could take a month or more. It's been over a week and no improvement yet. Needless to say, it brings my work for HLP grinding to a halt.

(And no, it's not from spending too much time watching TV or playing games or what have you. I've been getting that a lot and it got old fast. :rolleyes:)

The blurring is now so bad that I can't read books or magazines anymore, and I can't read signs from more than a foot or two away.

This is kind of terrifying. :shaking:

It's been going so long now that I can hardly remember what it was like to see clearly. :blah:

Luckily, my doctor's referral went through and the head of the neuro-ophthalmology department at UCSF (top-ranked medical school (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCSF#School_of_Medicine)) wants to see me tomorrow. If someone like that wants to see you right away, that means you are a very interesting case.

The funny thing is that I can see most things fine or maybe with a a slight blur for distant objects. It's details like text (especially computer screens) and for some reason traffic lights that are problematic.


CTRL+scroll wheel zooms the page

I had something similar several years back, when I was still very young. It basically involved that I had enormous difficulty focusing my eyes, simply because they were, apperently, just tired. This was after three months of being heavily interested in optical illusion books, though :P. I hope it's just some of that on a larger scale, and not something pernament 0_o.

@z64555: No, it's a permanent ban. Appeal is possible, but waiting it out is not (and I don't think my appeal has much chance of success). And additional information has come to light indicating they're on a "banning spree"; in a YouTube video I watched of someone playing on the server, an alert came up saying 13 people had been banned for the same reason ("bad fellowship") in the past 30 minutes, and to be respectful to other players. It's just a shame I didn't get the memo they were upping their standards/enforcement in time.

Speaking of "vision": as I was heading out to get pizza and groceries yesterday, I noticed something was wrong with my vision. I stopped the car in the driveway, and it took me a few seconds to figure out what was up: the right lens of my glasses had fallen out. Huh. Tried to fix it when I got home from the outing, using a screw taken from a pair of dad's old glasses that he didn't care about anymore... kinda works, but it won't be as good.

My FPS development: I reconverted the soldier dood model (based on the most up-to-date WIP version). I didn't do a very good job of skinning it this time, and it doesn't actually help much with one of the big issues I expected it to resolve: being able to tell which side of the upper arm bone I'm looking at. Collision shapes are updated, and some joints have had their positions and rotation limits changed, but now DoodPoseyTool seems to be fighting me even more than it used to. Bleh :blah:

Oh ho, even better. Sounds like one (or more) of the admin's got tired of the "poor conduct" and is trying to cull the herd. The fact that they're not doing a warning or even a temp ban on such things tells me that they haven't thought this through. I'd try keep your behavior under wraps as they're going through this phase, especially if they're buddies with a couple of other servers. If we're lucky, the admin's will realize their mistake soonish and will process the appeals.


@jg18: Hope things get better for you. Might it be your eye's loosing focus of your target, like one of them looking slightly off-center? My eyes get like that time to time, I can't tell if it's from me staring at a screen for too long or just staying indoors too long. :blah:

Oh well - the new(old) job will give me more time to study, so that's something. If everything goes well, I should be able to get my masters next year, quicker than anticipated. :)

Are there forums for this sort of thing? Maybe you could join one and request help. Or somewhere with roleplayers/cosplayers or something, and ask them if they have experience of hosting or participating in such a thing.

I thought about doing something like that, but it's such short notice. I sent a cancellation e-mail to the panel chairman about 5 minutes ago. If he doesn't accept the cancellation, I will do as you suggested. Thanks, Lorric.

Thanks for your replies, everyone.

Continuing the "jg18's vision went down the tubes" saga (previous post (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=53623.msg1729788#msg1729788))...

TLDR: There's still no improvement. The doc at UCSF doesn't know what the cause is, let alone when or even if it will get better.

There are still some test results pending and possibly even treatments worth trying in the absence of a diagnosis, but I get the sense we're running out of ideas. :blah:

There are some good signs,though, such as normal eyes (other than pre-existing nearsightedness etc.) and especially the normal brain MRI scan, since MRI is an extremely sensitive test.

Still, the numbers are not encouraging: when my vision was tested a few weeks ago with my glasses on, it was around 20/40 in the left eye and 20/70 in the right. When it was tested again this past week, it had dropped to 20/400 and 20/630, again with my glasses on. Not a good trend.

I can still use a computer (obviously) and even a smartphone, although very slowly using heavy magnification. I could probably even read books/magazines with a powerful magnifying glass that included a light, although it would also of course be slow.

But coding while in this state just isn't feasible. I told my boss a couple days ago that I couldn't work, so I'm now on unpaid medical leave. He's understanding and has said that I'll still have a job when (if?) I come back, so that's reassuring. It doesn't hurt that my benefits even include disability insurance.

Speaking of which, now that I've had this for several weeks, it feels less like a short-term medical problem and more like a long-term disability. I can still function except for being unable to work (kind of a problem :blah:), although many signs, labels, and screens are more or less illegible. I wonder if this is how it feels to be illiterate. EDIT: On top of that, most movies and TV shows are pretty much unintelligible, and almost all games are unplayable.

The only day-to-day thing that's really scary is crossing intersections. I usually can't tell whether the sign says walk or don't walk, even the sign on my side. If there's no pedestrian/motorist traffic around to help, then it's kind of a roll of a dice. :shaking: That's only happened once or twice, but still. It's easier to see the light at night, but it's also easy to confuse it with the other light sources around it.

It's entirely possible that one day soon I'll wake up and it'll be better or at least mostly better. It's also possible although maybe less likely that I'll wake up and it'll be much worse, maybe even near-blindness. Incremental changes are much harder to tell, although I did have the sense in early January that it was getting worse, as much as my parents wanted me to tell them it was getting better.

I try not to let it all get to me, but of course it does sometimes. If it doesn't get better, that would end my programming career. I will say that if/when it does get better, I'll never think of people with disabilities the same way again.

Hang in there man. :( At least it's good news that there don't seem to be any physical issues with your eyes themselves, or with your MRI, though I'd imagine that probably makes the diagnosis more challenging.  I know it's a big step above simple text, but I'd imagine there have to be accessibility solutions out there that would enable you to continue programming, if it came to that.  Hopefully you get this figured out soon.  (Seriously, where's House when you need him...)

This is ****ing awful. I've got my fingers crossed that the doctors will come up with something... I know a lot of blind or functionally blind people who are happy and safe, but they've been that way for a long time. Making the transition into that kind of disability - yeesh.

Clarification on this part:
Quote from: jg18 on January 19, 2014, 03:44:45 am
The doc at UCSF doesn't know what the cause is, let alone when or even if it will get better.

There are a few possible diagnoses but not enough information yet to make a definitive one.

They involve the optic nerves, either inflammation of them (optic neuritis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuritis)) or damage to them (optic neuropathy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuropathy)). They both have a variety of possible causes and, depending on the cause, may or may not be temporary/treatable. Among the causes in the second group is a genetic one (Leber's hereditary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leber%27s_hereditary_optic_neuropathy)), which is unlikely because no one in the family has it, but DNA test results will be in next week regardless.

That is also all of the time I'm going to spend on the Internet reading about this. I'd much rather talk to the doctor (which I'm doing on Wednesday) than sit at my computer and speculate.

In similar news, one of my friends is suffering from chronic, crippling pains in the gut. After extensive research, the docs found... nothing. She now has been todl to just learn to live with it, which is quite sobering.

Dear God.... I would have punched that Doctor in the gut and then told them to learn to live with it....

Does she get the pain all the time or is it sporadic?

To be fair I think he's providing a synopsis of the situation, not that they literally slid on some shades and told her to deal with it.

I seriously hope not, though I do remember once a Doctor asking my partner why she had not had children yet and saying that her 'biological clock was ticking', so I have experienced some really dumb comments by professionals in the past.

Well I am. My sinuses can't stand whatever crap that keeps blowing in from each cold front. I remember seeing an article about a Tabasco company somewhere that had a bunch of complaints against it for air pollution, and I'm wondering if it might be a bit of that what's getting me.

Helluva birthday night for a coworker of mine. Dinner at some fancy place, then karaoke night with Corona and tequila specials. I paid for three things, but had drank so much more. People who buy rounds for everyone is awesome, specially when a lot of people don't want the shots they're given

Me in my infinite wisdom though, said the tequila tasted like water. It quite literally, tasted like that. Everyone else went for the lime while I just wondered why the tequila was so bland

So they gave me the extra shots

Surprisingly enough, that did **** all in terms of getting me hammered. Hell, I was the most sober person there near the end

sriracha is the most overrated hotsauce ever. it has no flavor at all, its just pure hot. its sort of the everclear of hotsauces, in that its used purely for showing off. im more partial to cholula, which is downright mild in comparison but with an awesome flavor. i go through a bottle or two of that stuff every month. any habanero sauce is welcome in my fridge though, as is tobasco (the vodka of hotsauces).

if you want hot, try my chili or my admiral lucifer's chicken.

Maybe this comment from my mother today will do for the "elite page".

She had a wasted trip to the doctors today, as she ended up dealing with his assistant instead of the doctor she was supposed to see, and he was completely useless.

She basically said that if she'd had a choice between this guy and Dopey of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, she'd have picked Dopey. And she was talking about if it had been when she first set eyes on them, not in hindsight, as Dopey would have looked like the more intelligent of the two.

Apparently you don't. But when I was about 8, I tried to "teach" him, mainly by putting his paw on the mouse and keyboard, then helping him play. He didn't really mind it at all, as we were pretty close. I even entered him in a few StarCraft tournaments, though he never won any of them.

Something is wrong with my color vision.

It came up when I tried playing Hexic on my roommate's Xbox 360. I had trouble telling green, red, and orange hexagons apart and also blue from purple, all on top of having to stand 2 feet from the TV to see well enough to play. Guess I won't be playing that game again.

The doctors have implied that something was wrong by giving me color-related tests that I have been doing poorly on (never good for morale :blah:) and that people with normal vision would presumably do well on, but they haven't told me what problems I am having with it. Colors mostly look as they did before, but apparently there are distinctions that I can no longer see.

As if no longer being able to read books/magzines/labels/etc. wasn't terrifying enough. :shaking:

I tried playing FS2 and given my current vision of 20/500, it was hopeless. If this keeps up, I'll never play an FS2 mod or FSO TC again.

And it likely will keep up. The doctor is now fairly confident (but not certain) that the damage is permanent to some extent, but he can't say anything more than that with any degree of certainty. Great. Still waiting on blood test results that should provide more insight.

I'll post another update later.

Hope other people are at least doing better than this. :lol:

So I have been clinically depressed for a very very very long time now (last year I became aware of it) and it has forced me to drastically change studies a while ago. First, I did Earth Sciences (Geology and Geomorphology! Similar to what Black Wolf is doing!) and despite having completely and utterly failed (okay, not really, but I had to quit) I switched over to Geodesy and Geo-IT. So, basically, mapping. It's basically the thing I wanted to go and do ever since I was aware that it existed.

Yet it doesn't grab me. I look at the texts, I look at the whole thing, and I am just... bored. Casually disinterested. I really can't put up the motivation. This has been going on for a while now, in part because the school first lets you do half a year of rather unrelated things related to building stuff, but now I got to the stuff the whole thing is about I still find myself facing casual disinterest.

The problem here is the depression. I simply can't tell whether it's the -Joshua- who is casually disinterested or whether it's the depression just making me disinterested in just about anything. And it's tearing me apart, as I still got to learn all these tests and plunge an awfull lot of energy into it, energy which I simply do not have available at the moment.

I also haven't seen a psychiatrist in months due to having to move.

Depression ****ing sucks, and its power is only enhanced by the fact that people think it's something you can just will through. Can you regain access to medical help? Is there anything small you can do - weightlifting, aerobic exercise, a simple satisfying task, a change in lighting in your bedroom - to help? None of these really help me with serious depression but they're sometimes effective with the lighter stuff.

My 2 cents, for whatever it's worth, I would guess that if this stuff has excited you when you're not depressed, then it will again.

Thanks, but I'm afraid it doesn't help a whole lot. There are starving children everywhere and people dying in places like Syria, but somehow that knowledge doesn't help much, either. Reminds me of this T-shirt slogan:

Anyway, sorry to hear you're still struggling with depression (I know you've mentioned it here before) and that you're having trouble getting treatment. I didn't know your family was unsympathetic. As Battuta said, that can make it so much worse. :blah: Hope you get help soon.

Very sorry to hear this.  I've been there.  If at all possible, get a new doctor as soon as you can.  I am not exactly the poster child for "better living through chemistry!!!11!!1" but I know I couldn't have gotten out of the darkest parts of my life without help.  Combo of moderate depression, GAD, and according to my latest shrink, bi-polar disorder.  (Frankly, I'm not sure I see how I fit the last one.  I'd fricking LOVE to go through a manic high, but I don't recall ever having one.)

But anyway, are you still on meds from your previous doctor?  One thing I noticed whilst trying out various anti-depressants is that, while they did blunt the intensity of the depression (the desperation, the hopelessness) to a point where it was bearable, in a lot of ways the state that emerged afterwards was very depression-like as well.  I was not suicidal, but I can understand why someone might become that way under the influence of SSRI's.  I was so dadgum numb, it was very hard to care about anything.  Very hard to care enough to get out of bed in the morning, drag my butt to work / class, and finish my degree.

Some of what I'm hearing from you sounds very similar.  So, if you are still on meds, a change in regimen might be in order.  A doctor and professional evaluation is required for that.

Sorry you are having to go through this.  You are not alone.

Isn't there an official SCP website? Use that :).

Hmm. When I look at what Team Daidelos does with Il2: 1946, which are official patches which actually shy away a bit from keeping stuff original, I wonder what we could do with such an approach. Hmm. Then again, Il2 is set during WW2 and the extensions are basically additions to the already existing fleets, and all the new stuff is just drawing from history, which we can;t do with FS2... *sigh*.

In other news, I have decided to give up my geo-informatics study. I had to, and keep making, sacrifices towards a goal which in the end is simply not worht it. Perhaps the biggest thing was that I already have a clear path in my mind involving Earth Sciences, and the steady revelation that I would be giving up just that if I continued down this path, turning myself into a person and doing stuff I ultimately... simply don't like. Also, I am simply currently not capapble of mentally doing ... anything. I need to fix that first.

28 years ago today, I was in 2nd grade.  The whole school had wheeled tv's into every class room to watch the Challenger launch.  We saw it launch to a chorus of "ooooooh"s and "cool!"s.  And then I watched those people die and a million dreams die with them.  I was 8.  I don't remember much about my life from that far back other than impressions.  But I still remember the look of horror on my teacher's face and the numb incomprehension on the other kids.  I remember the grown-ups crying.  I remember one of kids asking, "What happened?  What happened?"

So much lost, in an instant.

Speaking of "calling the cops"...

A woman under the employ of my parents "scheduled" an appointment with me today (without my affirmation or consent), came to my house, bypassed the lock on the door to my room, and attempted to forcibly get me out of bed. I feel this qualifies as assault.

Then, when I retreated to the bathroom, she persisted in talking to me through the door even after I clearly stated I do not wish to talk to or hear from her. I feel this qualifies as harassment.

 :blah:



no I haven't actually called the cops on her

So, it looks like i'm off to Wolverhampton for a night and a day from the 13th to the 14th. That's presuming that I won't have a new job by then.

Fortune always favours the bold. Notify the cops (you don't have to go 112, file a report rather). Without affirmation or consent entering your house is only okay if your parents agreed to it prior (and they have to know the time and date beforehand), but I am quite sure that bypassing the lock on your own room actually counts as breaking-and-entering or house-peace-disturbance as it's called in NL. Heck, I got charged for house-peace-disturbance for entering someone elses room which lacked a lock in order to shut down the stereo which was blaring at extremely high volumes whilst the owner wasn't there.
(Luckily he had given me several open invites to come there anytime I wanted, so... but it was quite a hassle, I should have cut the power)

Or discuss it with your parents first, and acknowlegde that you consider this an option. It's your goddamn room.
The only case I would consider it acceptable is if you personally agreed to such measures being taken beforehand from ... say... preventing you from committing suicide.

No, the bypassing of the lock was with my parents' permission, given at the time and place it happened. But I don't think any amount of parental permission makes it ok for her to forcibly uncover me in my bed (esp. since I'm not a minor anymore). And I don't know how the law works as far as harassment, but ... bleh.

What if I went back in time and prevented Sony from making the console deal with Nintendo?
-I would nullify the existence of the PlayStation and Xbox.
-PC gaming wouldn't have died; though it has been revived thanks to Steam.
-Nintendo wouldn't have switched to making casual gimmicks.
-Sega would still be alive and we'd get a Dreamcast 2.
-3DO Mark 2, Atari Jaguar 2 and Neo Geo 64-bit might have been invented.
-Without the Xbox and PlayStation making gaming mainstream, video games might still be good.

Nah, I doubt it. The mainstreaming of gaming was an inevitable consequence of the technological developments and the corporate system as a whole, not within any specific company. The processes and timeline might have been slightly different, but in essence, it was steam engine time. Nothing anyone cold have done about it.

StarSlayer: not much no :( I mostly do my own food preparation, my parents are making me do my laundry separately nowadays (partly because it smells, but also partly for "independence"... but it's annoying when I discover some of dad's socks snuck into my load)... I occasionally help a little (and I mean little) carrying firewood, but dad hasn't instructed me in the ways of keeping the jøtul going.

deathfun: how about no.

doing household crap does nothing for independence. theres no time for that kinda stuff when you have to work a job and pay rent. society doesn't care if you live in a pig pin so long as you show up to work wearing clean looking pants.

and you cant operate the jøtul? my sister has one of those, its not that hard to use at all. put a small strip of cardboard, the kindling, and some cold coals between two peices of wood, light up the cardboard, stick a peice on top, close the door and open the ash tray panel. once its going cram the thing full of wood and shut it down. if you are using well seasoned wood and not the crappy wet stuff my sister uses, it might be easier than that.

It's more that dad always does it, and I don't do it, so dad continues to do it. Although I imagine there's some finesse to opening the whatchamaslit the right amount to get the right flow of air, and some responsibility to actually check on it every few hours (if not more frequently), both of which I lack >.>

Post by: Nuke on January 31, 2014, 07:31:02 pm
my sister's stove has this panel for extracting the tray that holds all the ashes. opening it lets a ****ton of air to get in. you're not supposed to open it while the fire is going, but its a good way to get the thing going. its not really that hard to stoke a stove, a single hot coal can get a fire going again, just give it fuel (wood) and air, and it helps to eliminate space around it so the heat has nowhere to go but into the wood. what takes skill is getting the most burn time out of a load of wood. i can get my sister's stove to last about 4-6 hours on a load, her husband says he can get 10 but i think hes exaggerating. eventually you get to this point where you stoke the fire in your sleep with no recollection that you did so.

As far as I can tell, the celebration involves drinking, eating copious amounts of chips ("crisps" for the Europeans among you), and getting extremely angry at events happening on a TV screen.

Sports fanaticism is one thing I will never understand.

And you Europeans don't get to act like you're not guilty of this too. I've seen how you guys treat the World Cup. You're just as bad.

But those are the euro/world cups, the best way of celebrating nationalism and breed inter-nation rivalry since the world wars :P (Heck, football has often been reffered to as "war". I geuss taht's why the Germans are so good at it) . I can't imagine the Americans doing anything on a similar level :P. If it was an USA vs Brazilia thing, I can imagine it being 'celebrated', but it seems weird to refer to it as a celebration. From what I gather, the whole nation is rather obsessed by it, which seems strange as with the EUro Cups, the finale is often not watched by citizens of nations not participating in it.

I did that, once! It was a lot more simplistic, though; just a simple script that you pass a filename to as sys.argv[1].

Also:
Code: [Select]
+++++ +++++     # initialize counter (cell 0) to 10
[
    > +++       #do something
    <           # decrement pointer back to cell 0
]
That would be an infinite loop...

I did that, once! It was a lot more simplistic, though; just a simple script that you pass a filename to as sys.argv[1].

Also:
Code: [Select]
+++++ +++++     # initialize counter (cell 0) to 10
[
    > +++       #do something
    <           # decrement pointer back to cell 0
]
That would be an infinite loop...

I was drunk when I wrote it.  Fixed.

The Vrije Universiteit (Free University, in Amsterdam) has decided to drop the Hydrology master study and research groups to save money.

It's not like it's one of the best taught and extremely relevant to current world issues studies in the world.

the joke is that eodermdrome is a really cool language which is hard to implement, and ****ing hard to implement efficiently

Edit for more stuff: I have to deal with doofuslady tomorrow. Mom & dad think the service she provides is more important than avoiding dealing with her on the basis of she assaulted me dammit. Well maybe it doesn't meet the strict legal definition of "assault", but I'm pretty sure it falls under the category of "things not to do to your client".

I've finally got through this

Everything I've worried about turned out to be wrong
And that's the best thing ever. Being wrong about what I thought my future holds because of what the past was like

The past had a tendency to control how my future would be perceived and inevitably go down. Now that's been triumphed over with the help of my best friend, someone who showed me just how wrong I've been

Great feeling, I can finally get past this now

now its time for linux driver hell, which is slightly less annoying these days. the machine still wont reboot or shut down right but i think my video drivers work. my mouse wheel on the other hand doesnt. my wireless nic is also not presant, but it cant get no signal anyways and i may just younk it. as a lab computer it can jack right into the router if the kitten didnt pull the plug again.

Perixx MX-2000 (also being sold as the Sharkoon Draconia, although you pay more for a fancy sticker with that one) has all the features you'd possibly want (Extremely high DPI optical sensor! 10 reprogrammable buttons!) for, like, 30 euros.

When I think "Gaming keyboard" I immeaditely think "Mechanical Keyboard". Unfortunately, those are expensive.

the only thing i had to use the command line for so far was to bring up the firefox profile manager, to load my profile. there was a nice little gui utility that let me find my video drivers, after that ksp ran fine. they've improved it a lot since i used it last. its almost usable as a primary os now. if i can get photoshop and max to run in wine then im set.

i still need to deal with a few annoyances and glitches. unfortunately it being linux, i will probibly need to use hack fu on the command line. im pretty sure the shut down problem is due to a service failing to terminate. but i dont remember how to manage linux services.

My latest attempt at making a redneck forge has failed due to massive heat loss incurred by weather.  :banghead:

Going to try to fire up the hole-in-the-ground forge and use that to warm up to black heat, hopefully, and then use the MAPP/Oxy torch to raise it further.

Of course it *would* help if I was doing this on a warm windless day, but there's no point in yelling at the wind.

I would certainly want to hear your thoughts on it when you're finished. There are so few people in my vicinity (RL and digital) that have read the book.

In similar literary news, I just finished the "Beyond the Rift" short story collection by Peter Watts. That guy needs to be bigger than he is, I think.

That's a shame and I really advise everyone to read it, especially considering it is released under creative commons, published for free in this webpage, and after all it is considered a seminal work of fiction on the subject:


http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/accelerando/accelerando.html

I'm still at the begginning and already I can tell that I'll need at least a second reading of it to get a more comprehensive understanding of the textures. It has an incredible density of ideas per paragraph. I must read this slower than I am.

(I bookmarked your suggestion as well, it is promising!)

A helpless cripple. That is my new lot in life.

My "clear" vision ends at around two feet away, with effective vision ending at 10 feet if not closer, beyond which everything's severely blurred, although I can still see motion and other visual changes at a distance, for whatever that's worth. Details -- especially any text smaller than medium-size -- are usually indiscernible at any distance, particularly on computer screens.

As a result, movies, TV shows, and live performances are unintelligible, both video and tabletop games are unplayable, computers and smartphones are painfully slow and clunky to use, colors are sometimes unrecognizable (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=53623.msg1732077#msg1732077), my car has gone unused for weeks, my programming career iS at a standstill, my reading speed has slowed to a crawl, and virtually all printed material and displays are illegible anyway. I never realized how dependent you become on others when you can't read anything around you. Hell, when I write stuff down, I can't even read what I'm writing! :mad:

And then there are the fun practical matters, like how having trouble reading walk/don't-walk signs at intersections (even the one on my side during the day) has effectively pushed traffic accidents to my top 3 most likely causes of death, no matter how much I try to pay attention to traffic. A few nights ago, I crossed and thought I'd reached the pavement but I was actually still in the middle of the road! :shaking:

These and more make up the living hell that my life has now become.

Next week's visit to UC Berkeley's Low Vision Center (http://www.caleyecare.org/services/low-vision-exams) should at least make me a somewhat less helpless cripple, probably the best I can hope for.

On the clinical side of things, the best fit for my symptoms is a rare genetic disease with a poor prognosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leber%27s_hereditary_optic_neuropathy), meaning I will never see clearly again. That is not a done deal though. DNA test results for it should be in late next week.

The results were actually supposed to be in a week ago but got caught up in insurance hell. After spending hours on the phone with the testing agency, doctor's office, and insurance, starting at 5:45 am, I finally gave up and forked over the $1,500 fee, hoping to get most of it back through insurance eventually. U.S. health care: most expensive among all developed countries yet still lagging behind them. :banghead:

I've now had a few dreams where my vision suddenly improved and I can read books again. Waking up from those is never fun. Talk about disillusionment.

And to think that my vision was completely normal just two months ago. Life's a *****, guys -- and never take your health for granted.

Important disclaimer: I don't mean any offense to others with disabilities, especially those who are happy with their lives. I can only speak for myself, about myself.



As for the current discussion, my understanding was that nuclear power is the energy of the future and always will be.

Oh dear. I have heard of your case before, JG18, and it's one of those cases that happens too infrequently to cease to be schocking. That being said, you are not alone out there, and I am very certain that low-vision centres will help. Although you will most likely never experience life the same way again, they can help you making you enjoy life in entirely different ways.

It feels rather inappropriate to comment on that my former study (geology at the VU) is currently facing the prospect of losing half it's teachers, most of them specialized in fields that are very important to geology (esp. Hydrology and Tectonics). It feels weird being forced to leave from a place where I learned a lot about ... welll... everything, which I called home, and hten watch some CEOs or whatever burn the whole place down. Just because it's not 'profitable' (yes, that's the stated reason).

Today, my completely useless pain-in-the-ass sister-in-law voluntarily got up off my couch, walked into my kitchen while I was doing the dishes after making supper for all of us (in-laws are here "helping" with the kids), and picked up a dish towel and began drying and putting away the dishes without anyone asking her or any sort of huffing or other snark from her.

I recovered from the cardiac arrest without anyone noticing I had entered it, but if she does anything like this again I'm going to suspect she's trying to off me through sheer shock.  Who is this woman and what has she done with my wife's sister?

Redneck hole-in-the-ground forge has elevated to "worthless crap" to "maybe functional" status with the addition of oxygen from an air compressor and a transfer shovel as a makeshift lid. I really like this shovel, so it's in my interest to use something else as the lid. I have another transfer shovel gathering rust, but it has big holes in it and probably will disintegrate if I give it a nasty look.

Also, 1x 20lb. bag of charcoal is nowhere near enough fuel to work a mild steel lawnmower blade. I probably need at least 4 or so.

Also also, my anvil is deformed :(

I met Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario and Luigi, at Kawa Kon! He's a really awesome person and surprisingly quite the scholar. Also met Anime Voice Kiddo and bought two autographed CDs of hers. Though the best part was hosting my own Resident Evil panel, which went rather smoothly. We had a lot of people at my Resident Evil panel, which is surprising given that it went on during the same time as the masquerade (costume contest), which is the biggest event at the con. The Star Citizen panel went better than expected, but it was just a discussion and the audience was pretty small.

i decided to do a quick and dirty project to make a lego r/c car functional again. the car was already built so the project was mostly electronics. i spent 2 days updating the firmware to support an i2c motor driver board, to support saving of settings to the eeprom, and to add a makeshift telemetry protocol. needless to say my quick and dirty project was no less dirty but much less quick. i tested, squashed some bugs and it ran well.

my rc board needed some work. it consists of an atmega328, with a header for a nordic nRF24L01+ radio module, and headers for servos and i2c devices, all crammed onto a radioshack proto board. first of all it needed an on board power supply. none of my supply boards were small or put out the neccisary power. i needed a couple of amps @5v. a 7805 just wouldn't cut it (no matter how big of a heat sink i use). so i decided to build a switch mode supply with a lm2576 step down switching regulator. it only takes like 7 components (the lm2576, an inductor, schottky diode, 2 caps, and 2 resistors). needless to say i grossly overestimated the amount of available space on the board.

i had to bore out a couple of the holes because the leads on the diode were really fat. but i managed to cram everything in. needless to say the switch mode components ended up really close to the radio. as a result the radio didnt work, too much rf noise. after scratching my head for 3 hours, i grabbed a card slot cover that i left on my work bench, jammed it between the radio and the switch mode supply, and then i clipped it to ground. after that everything worked fine. after that i quit and went to bed. this morning i found a pcb from an old radio, and began desoldering the rf fences from the sensitive rf components, i cut and bent and hammered that piece of sheet metal into a makeshift rf shield, to surround the power supply and isolate it from the rest of the board. so now all that is left to do is put it back in the car and see what happens.

I was thinking fairly recently about how the T/V war would have gone if the Shivans hadn't crashed the party.

I think the Vasudans would have been demolished pretty quickly with all the new tech that the Terrans got. Some of it of course had a Vasudan hand in it, but a lot of it was exclusively Terran. Avenger cannons and Tsunami bombs and better bombers and the Herc. The likes of these would have torn the Vasudans to shreds.

They're not required to, but it would be a lot more constructive/ less depressing if they did.

On the other hand, though, some people *really* can't take criticism at all, so leaving people in the dark is about the only thing they can do without any major backlash.

I'm all set to getting myself my very own anvil! I've concluded the table vise I've been using isn't good at all for anything but light shaping. That, and the fact that the face of the striking surface is ruined via raeg means that anything flat hammered against it would be curved.

its easy to get atoms to fuse. we do that all the time. so i look on "we have achieved fusion" with skepticism. what is the rate of fusion? what is the efficiency of your thermodynamic/direct conversion process? what is your laser power? what is your predicted scaling model? this stuff is somewhat important. i dont think laser based fusion will go anywhere, barring huge breakthroughs in laser technology. historically laser tech has been a long drawn out process. it has the potential of being as costly and as time consuming as tokamak based reserch.

These days I enjoy lying in bed more than ever. From that vantage point without my glasses, things in the room look pretty close to how they would if I could see clearly. It's the closest I'll ever get to normalcy again. I can even pretend for a little while that this waking nightmare isn't real. Of course, when I get up and especially when I put my glasses on, the illusion shatters. Talk about disincentives. :sigh:

In return for being legally blind (the cutoff is a measly 20/125 compared to my 20/500), I get some kind of tax break and a 50-60% discount on public transit, plus eventually a snazzy white cane (https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&7&q=white+cane) that will among other things supposedly garner me much sympathy and goodwill from passersby. Somehow none of that is terribly consoling, though.

Batts/-Joshua-: As for my being able to adapt to my uh new life circumstances, the answer is "presumably", given that N other people have for some N > 0 and I could then be the (N+1)st. I'm getting some support to this end starting this week with an appointment at the California Department of Rehabilitation. There are of course various hurdles that would need to be overcome, most notably

Spoiler:
I don't want to live like this!

I finally started using OS X's text-to-speech for reading online articles. I avoided it for a long time because doing so would amount to a tacit acknowledgement that I effectively can't read any text longer than a few sentences.


Meanwhile on the clinical side, the test for Leber's came out negative, which apparently doesn't mean a whole lot because the test has a significant rate of false negatives. It's a sufficient test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_and_sufficiency#Sufficiency) but not a necessary one. The doc said that up to half of all patients with symptoms resembling LHON get a negative on the test. I seriously paid $1,500 for this? :wtf:

The test looks for the best known and most common genetic defects that lead to the disease. Prognosis depends on which defect is the culprit. However, if the disease is caused by an undocumented defect, then presumably the doctor cannot tell me anything with any amount of confidence about the prognosis. I'll have no idea whether, let alone when or to what extent, it might improve  or worseb. Awesome!! :D

More tests of various sorts  later this week, no idea what for though. I've now lost count of how many intensely bright lights have been shined in my eyes and needles  stuck in my arm. Good thing I got over my fear of needles a long time ago amirite :lol:

I'd like to cling on to the shred of hope that this is all a temporary condition but it's surely just wishful thinking. :blah:

In unrelated news, I'm trying to apply the basic principle that you should not be Facebook friends with people you do not actually like. Too lazy to defriend all the people I don't know or care about, though. The only reason I still use it at all is for some groups I'm in that use it exclusively.

These days I enjoy lying in bed more than ever. From that vantage point without my glasses, things in the room look pretty close to how they would if I could see clearly. It's the closest I'll ever get to normalcy again. I can even pretend for a little while that this waking nightmare isn't real. Of course, when I get up and especially when I put my glasses on, the illusion shatters. Talk about disincentives. :sigh:

In return for being legally blind (the cutoff is a measly 20/125 compared to my 20/500), I get some kind of tax break and a 50-60% discount on public transit, plus eventually a snazzy white cane (https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&7&q=white+cane) that will among other things supposedly garner me much sympathy and goodwill from passersby. Somehow none of that is terribly consoling, though.

Batts/-Joshua-: As for my being able to adapt to my uh new life circumstances, the answer is "presumably", given that N other people have for some N > 0 and I could then be the (N+1)st. I'm getting some support to this end starting this week with an appointment at the California Department of Rehabilitation. There are of course various hurdles that would need to be overcome, most notably

Spoiler:
I don't want to live like this!

I finally started using OS X's text-to-speech for reading online articles. I avoided it for a long time because doing so would amount to a tacit acknowledgement that I effectively can't read any text longer than a few sentences.


Meanwhile on the clinical side, the test for Leber's came out negative, which apparently doesn't mean a whole lot because the test has a significant rate of false negatives. It's a sufficient test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_and_sufficiency#Sufficiency) but not a necessary one. The doc said that up to half of all patients with symptoms resembling LHON get a negative on the test. I seriously paid $1,500 for this? :wtf:

The test looks for the best known and most common genetic defects that lead to the disease. Prognosis depends on which defect is the culprit. However, if the disease is caused by an undocumented defect, then presumably the doctor cannot tell me anything with any amount of confidence about the prognosis. I'll have no idea whether, let alone when or to what extent, it might improve  or worseb. Awesome!! :D

More tests of various sorts  later this week, no idea what for though. I've now lost count of how many intensely bright lights have been shined in my eyes and needles  stuck in my arm. Good thing I got over my fear of needles a long time ago amirite :lol:

I'd like to cling on to the shred of hope that this is all a temporary condition but it's surely just wishful thinking. :blah:

In unrelated news, I'm trying to apply the basic principle that you should not be Facebook friends with people you do not actually like. Too lazy to defriend all the people I don't know or care about, though. The only reason I still use it at all is for some groups I'm in that use it exclusively.

I'm glad you're keeping us updated. Don't stop.

I'm not sure if it's anything you've looked into just yet, but there are several research groups out there exploring different approaches towards developing a functional bionic eye system, and it seems like some of the technology involved is getting pretty damn close to workable prototypes.  If this winds up being something that seems like it will affect you over the long-term, I'd definitely recommend getting in contact with some of these groups, especially if there's one in your general area.  But in any case, thanks for keeping us informed.

Stumped again with FPS engine & Soldier Dood lower body stuff. I told Australian doofus who dislikes FreeSpace I was back to thinking about "magical solutions", e.g. "have a database of <input struct> and associated correct values for <output struct>, and look up values somehow" and he said it didn't sound too hard to implement but that the hard part would be generating the data. I'm not so sure about that.

etched a pile of circuit boards last night. i combined like 6 projects into one large batch to save time/resources. in the end neither was saved. but i got a pile of boards so i can go nuts on building projects for awhile.

the big board of the etch was a custom r/c transmitter board that replaces the mainboard of a ps2 controller. also my vga dac for my fpga dev board, 2 power supplies (one variable smps, one 5/3.3v breadboard supply), an attiny84 dev board, and a dram (i think its an 8MB chip i desoldered from an old sound blaster, and im not even sure it works) board (also for fpga). i build the smps so far and it works fine.

There are a few micro armor rule sets floating around, GHQ is probably the best manufacturer.  Its pretty fun since you can do some pretty large scale ops with integrated combined arms inf, armor, artillery and cas.  Plus a lot of eras are covered, I've got a late WWII US Tank/Armoured Infantry battle group but I'd like to add a 80s Bundeswher force in the future.

Funnily, I am doing so as my current FS2 Campaign at the moment. Just finished Nordera Day and Stranded yesterday night. But the latest humble bundles, steam sales, gog.com as a whole and two consoles with a backlog of over 150+ games combined do not make things easier. Especially if you're working almost fulltime on top of all this and still have a fiance to spent time with. ^^

Considering FS2 again, I - again - feel the distant urge to make some review threads about some of the more unknown campaigns that still are playable and how they are holding up with current builds. Still debating how (and especially when) to tackle this. Playing more FS2 than anything else in the last 2 months also made me want to look at fredding something myself, although I feel like that will be really really really time consuming as soon as I get started.

A time machine. I need myself some time machine. That'll do the trick. Either that or winning the lottery. Whichever is more likely to happen first.

Well, yes, but music assholes have most of my ire at the moment. There's one living right below me.

Fortunately, loud music like that is against the apartment complex's rules, so I may even be able to get this douchebag evicted. That would be oh-so-satisfying. ;7

what i hate are wall bangers. people who want to complain at you first but are too damn lazy to walk over to your apartment to do so. of course what that does is inform me who the complainer is and this allows me to seek vengeance (such as throwing a bag of dope in their car and calling the cops). not so easy when they just call the landlord.

i stumbled onto a new way to make vias into my circuit boards. drill the holes to just about the diameter of a piece of bare copper wire, cleaning up any burrs with a large drill bit (usuallu just spinning it once with your fingers does the trick). jam the wire into the hole (it was a tight fit) until it pokes out the other side by about 1mm, and subsequently clip it off on the other side by the same amount. then i take an old hex driver a hammer and a block of metal (i used an old aluminum heat sink). stick the board so that the via (and bit o wire) sit over the block, stick the hex driver over the wire, and whack it. i get a nice clean flush rivet. i then cap off both sides with solder. its almost flush with the board. unfortunately my board was not aligned very well, so some of the holes are off by a few mm, so this only worked on the handful of holes that lined up.

Finally got sick of my old, bulky, noisy, overclocked Q6700 being my HTPC and did some parts shuffling and some purchasing.

The Q6700 is back to being my main workhorse, with my old 4870.

I had been wanted to build an ITX system for quite some time, so I went and picked up:

CM Elite 120 Advanced
MSI H81I
Pentium G3420
4 GB DDR3 1333

And slapped it all together with my media drives and the Quadro 4000 I was given as payment for watching somebody's house while they were out of province. Cost me $272 CDN all told, and it now fits in my TV stand and doesn't make the girlfriend cringe at the size.

Honestly, with the exception of "many-program" multitasking, that Pentium is just about as fast as the old Q6700. And since I can only get about 3.15 Ghz on the Q6700 overclocked, the Pentium gets better single-threaded performance.

sad thing is he has the hardware to do it. he could have had a compartment in there to house a computer and stuck an lcd panel to the inside of the lid. that ipad could run a certain configurable panel app that was being shown on the ksp addon forums. just throw in a keyboard panel and some panel mounted sticks and track ball (and with what he spent on controls he could afford ch industrial stuffs).

I remember mine too. Those were good times and I did learn a lot of human anatomy.
Then again I think i wasn't the most perfect student since time to times I had the habit to simplifly my drawings quite a lot and finish up faster than the others... and then I took a nap.


On another note. I was having a stuffy nose for several weeks now but just a week ago I bought this...

Post by: Mpez on February 27, 2014, 06:35:45 pm
Watched Wrath of Khan for the first time last night. I have to say that I'm not a trekkie (although I liked TNG) and this was my first encounter with TOS. And... it's ok. Everybody on the internet say that this is the best thing ever, but I'm not so sure.

But before that, let's talk about the good stuff. Firstly, I really liked the acting, Shatner and Montalbán are great, the rest are ok and everything works, you quickly know who is who and who likes who. Moreover, I drooled during the departure from the station sequence - the expository shots are great and really satisfy my "I need to see some sci-fi ship close-ups" needs. I also liked the more "we're in a submarine and we're partially blind" way of fighting.

However... Well, it aged a bit. When it comes to said fighting it's a bit clumsy and really dated, especially the encounter when they both basically disable each other. I know it's the '80s, I'm just looking at it from the current perspective. Also, I really hate myself for saying this, but I find something missing in the pacing. Again, it was filmed 30 years ago and things were done differently (I still whine when I watch Dirty Harry walking into a police station in a scene that takes something like 10 seconds and would now be probably cut to 2 seconds or not shown at all). Film-makers now have a tendency to cramp too much action into every minute, limiting the story, the acting opportunities etc. and I completely agree that this is a bad thing. However, you just feel that the pace could be a bit quicker. Another thing - although I love Shatner's I'm old-I fell young arc, I can't help but notice that there were some somewhat clumsy moments in the story, for example, when they are almost killed by the two officers and are saved, deus-ex machina style, because suddenly the mind controlled guys stop being mind controlled.

All in all... I still lack something in the style of Battlestar Galactica or Space Above and Beyond, a flick with reasonable acting and a believable or semi-believable setting, with some good starship action. Wrath of Khan is nice, I enjoyed it, but it just lack something. Maybe Star Trek in general lacks something for me, as I recently rewatched the first two seasons of TNG and almost always had this feeling of "I probably want something else" (although I know the first the seasons are generally viewed as terrible).

****, the first movie could've been reduced from two hours to forty five minutes. Why do I need to spin around the Enterprise for twenty five minutes? I know you're showcasing the oooo ahhh of movie magic, but god damn. Then you had the Nebula sequence where you're perusing the top of the overly long and massive ship for another thirty minutes

twok doesn't hold up much great nowadays I agree, but it is one of the greats imho because of its very different but coherent thematic narratives which seem sparse and detached but they all converge into one single metaphysical message, in all scales.

you know that bible quote at the beginning of iron maidens number of the beast. anyway i was listening to maiden just now while trying to wrap my head around the bc6 and 7 texture formats. anyway i realized that 666 would have originally been reckoned with roman numerals. needless to say 666 in roman would just be the sum of all roman numerals from I to D, written out DCLXVI (unless you think it was actually 616 then drop the l). so "the beast" is probibly just a reference to the romans or possibly their war machine. ok john, put down the bong.

Actually, they would more likely use Hebrew numerals or Greek numerals.  Using Hebrew numerals, "nron qsr" (Neron Caesar, the Greek version of the name) comes out to 666, and "nro qsr" (Nero Caesar, the Latin version of the name) comes out to 616.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_beast#Neron_Caesar

it was probibly greek. i only figure they would use the roman neumerals because they were under occupation at the time and may have been forced to use the roman system.

but it is easier to reckon the number of the beast than it is to recon these new texture formats (bc6,7).

Revelations was originally written in Greek, so yes, they used Greek numerals in the text, but according to the wiki article, Nero's name was equated to the number 666 (or 616) using Hebrew numerals before Revelations was written, and the passages referring to the "number of the beast" in Revelations are probably alluding to that.

we really need to bring back the hard light installation. after posting a link to it on the ksp board they started their own community station. and i was wondering why the hell ours was in such a horrible state of disrepair.

i was wondering if the whole process could be automated with some web scripts. people would just stake a claim on a grid plot, upload a bitmaps to them and the server side stuff would hash it all into a png file whenever something changes. you would of course be allowed to change your plots whenever you want. you would be allowed to stake one plot initially, an each time you submit your pixel art you would be granted additional claims. if you submit a lot of art, you would be allowed to steak more claims (potentially even contiguous ones). so people who contribute the most are rewarded and encouraged to make bigger and better additions. so by turning it into a penis measuring contest, the station would become really awesome in no time.

Been watching DS9 to see what the fuss was all about and why this was oh so much better than TNG. Still in the middle of the first season, slightly entertained, enjoying the bromance between Constable and Quirk. Dax annoys me a bit, Kira is alright and Bashir I can ignore (so no problem).

First impression is that Avery Brooks is a lot less of an actor than Patrick Stewart, but that was a high standard to begin with.

Obligatory "it gets much better at the end of the second season". I'm guessing you also haven't reached Garak yet if you're ignoring Bashir (early Bashir is a complete dork though)?

Post by: Luis Dias on March 06, 2014, 09:33:24 am
Garak appears right on the second or third episode, making contact with Bashir who gets all excited to be in contact with a Cardassian spy (ohh my I'm like those cute spies from the 1960s). In a further episode, he placed Bashir behind a closet in his shop to hear a pair of hot Klingon mercenaries trying to deal with Cardassians.

Yes he is a dork, but a completely ignorable one (except in the Storyteller episode, where I just have to suffer him through). I do prefer to see Quirk for instance (despite the glaring basic antisemitism vibes I get from it). I hate the Ferengi precisely because it's probably the only race in Star Trek that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. They merely exist for the creator to beat "capitalists" with his writing stick or whatever. Anything good that a Ferengi happens to do is despite being a Ferengi.

That also annoys me a bit, but I try not to think about it (it's hard).

As a race, Ferengi never had wars or genocides in their history (which is one reason why they consider their culture superior to other races including humans).

I don't recall my exact scores for EL and NUC (I want to say... 287 and 279, respectively, but that's an educated guess at best), but I can definitely welcome you to the 99 club.

It doesn't really mean much aside from impressing the guys who barely beat 30 at basic.

If there was any questions about me having sanity we can put those to bed.  I just painted and chopped up some 1/285th artillerymen and infantry officers in order to provide crews for my open top M36B2 TDs.  I suppose I already crossed the Tiberis when I hand made sand bags, stowage and IFF flags for all my 6mm armor and half tracks, but now I just burned the bridge behind me.  But damn it, US Armor in WW2 just ain't American if it's not covered in its weight in gear.

After 28mm Napoleonics everything else seems easy :D.  Actually they are not too complex, US equipment in the ETO was mostly OD green and all the stowage is much less precise than painting the buttons on a Hussard's pelisse.  The pioneer tools are probably the only real precision work and that's only a few careful strokes per vehicle.  The key is really good brushes and paint.

I'm putting together a TOE for a future Bundeswehr Heeresstruktur IV mixed Panzergrenadierbataillon.  I figure a good NATO woodland scheme on all those Leos and Marders is probably going to be a pain at that scale.

usually when i hunt deer, i eat the thing. clubbing cute little critters for their fur (not to say this is strictly a canadian thing, i know a few trappers), when you could sell as pets at ten times the price, never made much sense to me. its ok to brutalize nature so long as your going to eat it. what i dont like is when people profane hunting, and then go buy meat at the store, because they are essentially supporting the mass murder of critters at holocaust levels. hunting seems a little bit more honest. when you are the one killing it you kinda start to empathize with them and actively work on your aim so you can put them down more humanely. which sounds like a much better way to die than being put on a conveyor belt and have a giant circular saw cut your neck open. if you are going to complain about my hunting habbits, go eat at the vegan table.

I can verify what z64 said.  Also maybe try taking about 10-15mg of melatonin supplements (sleep hormone normally produced by the human body in the evening) 30-60 minutes before you need to go to sleep (and turn off the tv, computer, and other lights).

Simple Green.  Let soak for a few hours, and then try to find a non-glass non-metal edge to chip it off.  Simple Green is safe to use with most plastics, and makes the super glue bonding agent more brittle.  It'll take some care and effort, but you should be able to get it off.

On an (actually) unrelated note, I decided not to join.  Partly because of the high blood pressure thing and partly because I realized I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself from arguing with my RDC during Basic or my commanding officer after Basic.  I don't take orders well.  I'll probably take some online classes over the next few months instead, then maybe find some scholarships, loans, and other financial aid to finish a degree.

from what i've seen, discipline in the navy at least isn't at all like the common conception of the military.  sure there's the occasional old salty hard-ass chief/career officer and the guys with eagles on their shoulders often think of themselves as god, but there is a LOT of backsass, borderline insubordination, and general *****ing.  whining, *****ing and complaining pretty much makes up the majority of what comes out of sailors' mouths.  almost everyone is just in for their 6 and then they're gone, so no one gives a flying **** about their jobs. 

but then this is reactor department, topside is probably much different.  their jobs don't suck anywhere near as hard, so they stick around longer and an anchor means WAY more to them.  it was kind of funny seeing the difference in interaction between a nuke and non-nuke junior enlisted with the same exact (nuke) chief.

Girlfriend's sister and her husband split, and he took the TV and PS3 with him. They've got two young boys (7 and 5) who will be staying with her who both liked playing games together, and who haven't been able to since. She really doesn't have the money to replace them right now.

So I'm donating my spare (salvaged) TV and my old PS2 to them, and will likely be putting together some old computer parts so they have something to use for Netflix and the like.

Pretty much. If not allowed sufficient time to rest/relax, the general fatigue of the worker builds up and their productivity plummets.

There's a penalty system for business to discourage overworking their employees. For example, Texas has a 40 hour work week, with any logged hours greater than this equal to 1.5 times your normal pay. Not only does the business have to pay extra for you working, but they have to pay extra for you working at an increasingly poorer rate.

 Also, management apparently has a crazy thing where their earnings are capped to 40 hours, meaning, they won't get paid for any more hours that week. Often times they still have to work 50 to 60 hours, depending on the state of the business.

I'm just going to put it out there that another board I'm a member on has never once had any amount of flaming on it.  I'm the sole admin/moderator and the only time I've used the powers therein are to ban two spammers and crack the occasional joke.  It was born out of flames, but we've even had leaders of the opposing side eventually stop by and nothing bad came of that.  So it is in fact possible.  With a smaller membership though.

Cool pic! Funnily enough I just came to this thread to post that my 6 year old nephew saw me playing FS2 Open the other week, he liked it so much he wanted ago so I let him play a few levels. He now wants to play it whenever he visits us. I have just bought myself a new laptop with a dedicated graphics chip, (the old one had an Intelgrated :ick: ) so I have donated my old one to him to play on it whenever he visits us. (it runs FSPort and FS2 fine, but really struggles with BP and Diaspora).

Thanks, I really enjoy that drawing because Jose was captured as he is so precisely... ahhh I'm bragging sorry.

Anyway, I drawed a tabletop for "Invisimals" for my kids sunday, their school is filled with kids with this new cards disease, no way I was gonna pay for the tabletop so I drew it in a wooden board I had spared. We enjoyed it and yesterday I had this idiotic idea of sitting on top of it while feeding my youngest with Cerelac. So I broke it in half  :banghead:

I had even half-decorated it and it was gonna end being awesome, what a crappy start of a day that was.

*If you have not watched the first two terminator films, I highly recommend that you do so*
**Spoilers for Terminator films below**

So I have seen The Terminator and Judgement Day.
And they are rather good films. I did see snippets of T3 also, but I have decided to neglect from watching it it's not by James Cameron, and JC said that his story ends with T2 anyway. He's got a good point.

There's a thing though. Although the thematic theme of the first film is very clear, the second film is a bit more nuanced in it's message. The first film is very much about how removing human agency is not a good thing, but the second film seems more about... hmm... Not all human agency is a good thing. Two of the characters (Sarah) cuase quite a bit of ruckus due to being motivated by fear or ambition (And fear or ambition only), whilst the much more balanced John Connor seems to argue for more... balance and nuance in the actions of both his mom and Arnie. The film is more nuanced as it argues for... more nuance. Or that's the gist I got from it anyway.

vivisect all the cops

try smoking more crack

hookers are cheaper than shrinks

without making hlp look like the russian mafia/the crips/human trafficking emporium.

id love to see a dune movie that doesnt suck. dune '75 would have been psychedelic and insane, but in a good way.

i noticed they recycled some of h.r. geiger's concept art from dune '75 into prometheus though. actually most of the design team left that project and spawned the whole damn alien franchise. so its not a total loss that they failed.

i heard there were some spanish indie film makers doing a 12 hour version of dune, but they were hit with a cease and desist from frank's son and had to stop.

i also think that gurney hallack needs to be played by lemmy.

Well, then.

A riot in my hometown. I've never seen that happen before.

Not a whole lot happened. Several arrests, one officer "injured" (didn't say how badly), crowds ran away after police broke out the tear gas.

Most people in the city think the protestors/rioters were idiots and are mostly pissed at them for blocking the main street for several hours.

I have a bad history with that program, and every time it's mentioned, I try to warn people away. It's basically almost impossible to get rid of once you decide you don't like it. And as someone who always prefers accurate colors, no matter what I'm doing, I do not like it.

First session with a new tutoring client (aka student) was a disaster. Or rather, it didn't happen, because Google maps couldn't find the place and I ended up driving to the wrong town.

What kind of idiot city planner makes a road named "West Street"? And why is there one in both Vienna and Falls Church?

But Milo is a cat's name!

I figured out wtf happened with the map thing not finding the right place. It turns out it was because I spelled out "street" instead of abbreviating it as "st", and Google seems to think the "st" in "West St NW" is short for "saint". Because "saint" is a kind of road. Great.

Thanks.  I'm glad too.  Knowing that, oh, I'm just off my meds a little, somehow made the fact that I was irrationally despondent a lot easier to bear.  Day after I was just fine, too.  And yeah, it varies a HUGE amount based on individual metabolic and neurochemical differences.  I'm on about the lowest dosages that are available without custom compounding.  Everyone's different.

Back on a (relatively) even keel just the same.  Home with the kids today because Unit #2 has a cold and we don't want to infect his friends at daycare.  Sort of working from home, sort of taking the day off.  Partially frustrated at the inability to do most of what I need to do.  Partially relieved for the break.  Very grateful that I have the luxury of taking time off for the kids if they need me.

You know, I had severe reservations about inflicting my head-case genes onto another generation, but they are really good kids.  I still fear this world will eat them alive, but they have a tough and stubborn core underneath that sweet (if mischievous) exterior.  I think there is a good chance they'll be on meds before they are old enough to leave home, but I guess I turned out ok for all that.

I guess I'm just taking a moment to consider my lot in life, and really, I have a lot to be thankful for.

It's not all genetic, too. Environmental factors can make a big difference. Genes moderate some component of the depression response to stressful life events, but those events don't always have to happen, and they can be cushioned by a good support system and good upbringing.

This is why you buy several Mosins!
One for each individual feel you want. There's no way I'm changing out the woodstock on the one I have currently, I intend to refinish that soon enough to bring it back to former glory (though I guess what I said earlier implied changing it. Meant "get another Mosin and swap it out")

But for rifles that cost paltry amounts in comparison to most, adding the Archangel stock with all the gizmos certainly modernizes it rather well

It's not super complicated: if you have a lot of cities (say, because you're rolling over another faction and taking all their cities) you need to give a lot of orders. Exactly the same as any other Civ game.

Fortunately you don't need to have more than a couple cities to do exceptionally well.

Played two games of BattleTech at a demo event at my FLGS today.  First game was a grinder that was waaaaaay too much fun.  Out of 14 'Mechs that eventually took the field, four died to headshots, most of them pristine before that.  Plus my Commando won a duel with a Jenner to start the game, which should never ever happen.  I won, and took home a brand new intro box set for my victory.  New minis in the set are fantastic quality compared to the old stuff, so this is a very good thing.

The second game was of Alpha Strike, essentially the new quick strike rules.  It was a blast, and we got through an entire company versus company game in less than two hours.  It was definitely easier and more intuitive than the regular game.  In that game, the impossible moment of the match was my Jagermech going toe to toe with a Dire Wolf A - and winning.

the light battle, that was pretty cool

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: Scotty on April 12, 2014, 09:26:06 pm
It was played in Alpha Strike, which means turns are 30 seconds, and you either hit with everything or you miss with everything.  The Dire Wolf has something like 10 armor and 6 structure, and shoots for 6 damage at short range, 7 damage at medium range, and 5 damage at long range.  My Jager had 7 armor and 5 structure, but shot 4/4/4.

It took four turns.  He missed twice.  I didn't.

By the end of it my Jager had half MP and was missing half of its firepower, but by God it limped away and left the Dire Wolf a smoking pile of wreckage.

EDIT:  The shot that took it down was the last shot taken on the last turn of the game, and the kill was enough points (by two, out of 500) to give us the win for the scenario.  Go, mighty Jagermech.  Go and prosper.

apparently i paid $40 a pop for 'preparing' federal (FREE efile!  what a deal!) and state file (FREE prep!  WHAT A DEAL!)  and by prepare, i mean the online copy/paste tool.  yes, it was HR block, but extensive searching failed to yield any free options. 

still, what i'm most pissed about is the underhanded pricing advertised on the website.  here, get started on this free prep.  and if you have to upgrade to the non-free, it's just $30 to file.  hey, look at that!  your state is in the list of no additional cost states.
.....oops looks like you didn't qualify for that.  that'll be $80.  yeah, we're charging you for the state too.

You can dispute malpractice for them not clarifying all costs. It's THEIR professional duty to allow you to make an informed decision. Additional costs after the price is agreed is just not allowed.

What.  I do mine for free on TurboTax every year, and a quick Google search for "free tax return" nets plenty more options.  I think most of them still charge for state returns (I live in a state that doesn't do state income tax, so I don't do state tax returns, but I know TurboTax charges extra for state returns).

I thought the IRS had a site you could do your federal online for free, as long as it's the 1040EZ (or whatever). And your state should have a similar thing for theirs, and even if they charge for e-file, you can just print and mail it instead for the cost of a stamp or two.

Submitted my online packet to be a Catalyst Demo Agent a few hours ago.  Need to get together some pictures of my various painted minis and a few demonstration beginner scenarios (and a note of interest from a local game shop; that part is the easy one), snail mail them off, and await a response.  Given that there are approximately zero Demo Agents within about two hours of here, I'd say odds are good, even if I weren't practically a certifiable expert on BattleTech.

Granted interest rates have been pretty pathetic of late but arguably having to owe a little is better then getting a big refund.  If your getting a big refund that means the government has been gleefully sitting on your money for the year whereas if you are getting a small refund or a owe a little that money has been working for you earning interest.

I can't speak to everything, but my account is as .03%.  I get roughly $.04 a month from it.  The service charges are nearly a hundred times that.  Would rather have a refund.

I don't think I'd put my money in a bank that charges me for them to have it. Considering they use folks' account money to make loans, if they want to have service fees they can go pound sand.

At least for savings, I'd check out the local credit unions, they aught to offer better rates.

My checking account at the local bank does have fees, but so long as you have any amount of direct-deposit coming in every month (which I do), or else one of a few other options, they're all waived, so it's free for me.  I probably could switch to the credit union right down the street, but meh, I've had my debit card number memorized forever, and I don't want to have to get a new one. :p

Ugh. The last 7 days have been some of the roughest and lowest I've had the displeasure of experiencing.

Last week I finally got my sorry arse to the doctors to find that I've been suffering from depression for a while, and got signed off of work for 2 weeks (which isn't bad at all). But finally actually KNOWING what it is seems to have opened up all the **** I have repressed/ignored. Now I feel like someone has gone to town on my psyche with an ice pick and power hammer.

Some good news is that my dog gave birth to seven disgustingly cute pups on the Wednesday, and the good weather has been a great uplift for me.

But most of all I'm just grateful that I have Dekker and our Mum to talk to if things get too much.



I don't know if I'll ever completely get "Better", but I swear that I'm going to throw myself into whatever treatment the doctor recommends. I know only I can help myself at the end of the day, and despite my periodic bouts of self depreciation and hate, I will see it through. Not for my family or friends, but for me.

My desktop suddenly stopped booting yesterday; not even getting to POST as far as I know. Since it sounded anemic and the fans didn't seem to be turning nicely, I thought it might be the power supply but replacing it with a new one didn't work. So it could be motherboard failure or something else - I'm planning to get it to a computer shop to be checked out as soon as possible (probably Saturday since tomorrow is a public holiday here).

Not fun, Firespawn.  You have my sympathy.  I know, at least in my case, my own tendency towards introspection was my worst enemy.  The more I thought about my depression the more depressed and desolate I became.  Keeping yourself occupied helps.  Physical labor that involves some amount of attention to details is helpful because it gives you a physical outlet for some of that stress, but it is also detail oriented enough to keep your mind engaged on things completely unrelated to depression.

I hope the doctor(s) can help.

Eighteen out of 24 hours, not counting transit or preparation. In reality a lot closer to 20 out of 26. "Fun" in this case being the bizarro definition.

Had a dream in which Hades had posted an amazing screenshot on the forums. That left me thinking about 2 things:

1 - Why on earth am I dreaming about freespace screenshots posted on this forum?

2 - Why on earth can I not remember the screenshot's composition so I can make one myself? :lol:

rendered helpless by the Crazy Ivans and awaiting my death.
Since it was a dream I thought it was real and I was going to die. I just looked past my approaching doom at the beautiful nebula and awaited my end. But I woke up and was overjoyed to be alive.

Post by: deathfun on April 29, 2014, 03:30:30 am
Went to go shoot the SVT-40 today
Learned something rather peculiar about it actually, and potentially dangerous

Now, if I cock the bolt and a bullet is chambered, it may or may not actually go off and fire the round
This originally was thought to be a slam fire situation, however it doesn't discharge any additional rounds of which is sometimes the case for a stuck firing pin

So upon dismantling and putting back together (which didn't fix the problem) I learned that the firearm actually pulls the trigger for you upon first cock, but not for any subsequent shot (thus I don't have to worry about a rapid fire situation)

Now, I figured that if I close the bolt slowly to chamber the round that'd ensure it doesn't go bang when I don't want it to
Unfortunately, that's not the case. See, when I close the bolt slowly, it doesn't close all the way leaving a gap of a few millimeters. If I hit the handle to close it, it'll discharge the firearm

Anyone who handles firearms got any ideas on this? I'm most likely going to take it to the store I bought it from and see what they have to say about it and whether or not it can be fixed, but knowing more about why this takes place would be nice

EDIT: Another thing to note, the firing pin does not jut outside the bore face while it is closing. The gun legit pulls the trigger when it slams or is made to close to the bore chamber
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: Nuke on April 29, 2014, 03:34:15 am
just aim for the dirt when chambering. on hunting trips, we dont chamber unless we spot a buck and are close enough to kill it. the terrain here is pretty rough so were always jostling our guns around. better be safe than bear food.

Post by: deathfun on April 29, 2014, 03:56:33 am
Actually figured it out. Took a few different keyword searches in google but eventually found one that matched up:
Quote
We debugged over the phone and it does sound like his hammer is not getting pushed down far enough to get reliably caught by the sear at the rear due to wear on bold and or hammer. Trigger group is locking all the way up and the hook can't allow it to go any further up. Under firing it probably has enough momentum to get captured but by hand isn't 100%, pushing down on the bolt does help. He will post an update when he gets parts and sees if that does the trick.

If I do the bolded part, it does not discharge the firearm
Not exactly the fix I was looking for, but it seems to do the trick. Quirks in every surplus rifle it seems

To address your points:
Free board: I already get that at home  :p
Fame: Well I would love that but I don't do video cameras very well. (bad experiences at high school, bloody every kid thinking there a youtube sensation.)
Alcohol: I don't drink alcohol.......hides in the corner. Its just not my thing
FSO publicity: I was on it or TV in general I would give a shout out to the Hard-light Productions community anytime.
Awkward Boners: Well S**t
Also I don't need to find a beauty cause I already got one and it kinda defeats the whole purpose of the TV show. Being to hook geeks up.
Double Also I wouldnt consider myself geeky enough to get selected for even the auditions.
And the paid part. All the girl said was that if you get in you go in the running for $10000AUD which im pretty sure is split between you and your partner and I dont know about the contestants.

As someone who went through something very similar about last month, I can tell you one thing for certain: You want to keep that train rolling, find something that makes you feel good and grab it, even if in small amounts. Add more to the carriage, become a juggernaut. You'll be too busy thinking about the positive things happening when you make progress to slow down and fall. Keep going, don't look back.

Not to disappoint you, but its well known now that Samsung's chips detect benchmark programs and overclock their chips when they are executing.

As my phone is ROOTES now, it's always overclocked :p

First day on the new job as a janitor. It's a messy job, but it pays the bills and I get along well with the people there. Plus I like the hours: I need to be there bright and early in the morning, but in exchange I get most of the afternoon off to enjoy the summer.

I love those hours.

I'm actually way, way anxious about getting a job now that I dropped out of school. Not sure what I should be applying for as my first job...I hate people, ugh.

Especially since I plan to move out and to the east coast within the next year or so, where the economy is total ****... I'm really feeling restless.

Apply for a job at packaging or something along those lines. PS: In order to work, you'll need to see people. I went through that same process, you get used to it.

Try to get back into school once you 'cool' down, I can tell you from all the people around me at work that they regret not going back...

Spent just over an hour laying on the livingroom floor tonight, with two of my dogs' seven pup asleep on my chest as I dozed with the other five attacking various limbs and articles of my clothing. The last time i felt such a profound sense of pease was when I was 4 or 5 and slept curled up in the dog bed with my first dog Milo.

I also am very relieved that they don't have teeth yet.

Perhaps I'm an anomalous minority but it's the exact opposite case for me; I am repeadetly told that school is, at best, an opportunity to see exactly what you don't want to do with your life.

Granted, the people I hear this from are entrepreneurs, but many are also millionaires that don't have diplomas.

I don't think I can work as ridiculously hard as some of them, though. But that's what it felt like going to school; and even then I still couldn't get high enough grades on my tests.

Personally, my experience at university was this alien place I just don't understand that I had to sit through every day and pretend I fit in. I never once felt like a "student", or have any idea what that should feel like.

Of course I can say more, I don't have any professional attachment to Microsoft (Bungie is totally independent). According to all my software friends and everything I've heard more broadly, Microsoft is a ****ty place to work with ****ty policies and an incredibly corrosive management system. Everyone I know who's gotten a job there has since quit.

That's a shame. When I talked with my recruiter before and between my interviews, she mentioned that there were a lot of changes happening in the company to encourage teamwork and lessen direct competition between employees, which has allegedly caused problems in the past. Dunno if that has anything to do with what you were saying, but it does sound like they're making changes at any rate. Oh well, thanks for the heads up! In any case, I'm going to try and land a local job for when I graduate and then evaluate where I want to go from there. Not that this is directly relevant to anybody, I'm just WHIYLing.

Oh my God...I just fired up FF to let it update, and that Australis look is even more of an abomination than I'd expected.  And I don't know if it's just a bug from being on a now-deprecated OS, but I physically can't select another tab by clicking on it.  Pathetic.

last place you want to end up is in the workforce. i dont think ive ever had a job where i dont feel like im being exploited, used, and taken advantage of, or where im forced to do likewise to customers. im more comfortable living under a bridge and eating rats for a living while occasionally overdosing on over the counter medication for a cheap fix.

Sorry if my naivete comes through here, but just because other jobs do it doesn't mean it's okay. My life has more or less been one-dimensional for the past few years since I'm focusing on graduating, and the entire time I've held out hope that once I get a fulltime job there'll finally be a cap, an upper limit to the time I have to sink into my career . I'm passionate about programming and the possibility of making games, but I don't believe that means Iwshould dedicate my entire life to my career. I want to have hobbies and non-work friends :(

You have every right to want that - it's a fundamental aspect of a humane work environment.

Crunch is real. It sucks. I have a game writing job and a real writing job and I'm still trying to figure out the balance between the two. I certainly miss my NYC life of novel-writing days and nights out with friends. On the other hand, you do get to be part of a multi-million-dollar endeavor, and your work will be seen by millions, so...

My life has more or less been one-dimensional for the past few years since I'm focusing on graduating, and the entire time I've held out hope that once I get a fulltime job there'll finally be a cap, an upper limit to the time I have to sink into my career . I'm passionate about programming and the possibility of making games, but I don't believe that means Iwshould dedicate my entire life to my career. I want to have hobbies and non-work friends :(
Be an indie game developer! At least for the sake of trying.

I definitely would not be surprised to see people from HLP involved in the development of games like FTL or Kerbal Space Program.

Though of course I have no idea at all how easy or hard attempting such a thing could possibly be.

You have every right to want that - it's a fundamental aspect of a humane work environment.

Crunch is real. It sucks. I have a game writing job and a real writing job and I'm still trying to figure out the balance between the two. I certainly miss my NYC life of novel-writing days and nights out with friends. On the other hand, you do get to be part of a multi-million-dollar endeavor, and your work will be seen by millions, so...

Definitely stuff worth thinking about. I feel like the AAA-studio experience is something I'd want (at this point) to try, even if it's only for a short time. As you said, it probably does wonders for getting your work out there, not to mention for your resume. Not really sure how to phrase this, but how much choice do you have to actually determine that balance? (Does that make sense?)

This is definitely something on my mind. My problem is that I'm not very innovative when it comes to game mechanics and such, I'm much more interested in games in terms of telling an interactive story, so I feel like I'd be ill-suited to being a solo dev (because I don't get ideas for games, I get ideas for stories that I'd like to see told through games), but joining up with an indie studio (difficult as that is, especially in Australia) is something I'd definitely like to do.

Even outside the gaming industry you will see plenty of crunch/overtime requirements.  Unfortunately if you're a salaried employee you will not be rolling in the glorious time and a half. 

What you need to get the feel for is if its an occasional "For King and Company!" type of thing or if they are just continuously saddling you week after week with 60 hours work for 40 hours of pay and no recognition.  The former is a chance to show you are an All Star worthy of accolades and advancement, the later is them taking advantage of the situation and you may want to consider alternative employment.  You should be able to get a feel for it from the general moral of the "grunts."

In short missing Kendo a week or two is well worth proving you're a hard working go-getter if you know it will pay off come review time.

Make sure you get a scratching post and some kitty treats.  If you set up positive reinforcement for using the scratching post early and regularly enough, your furniture will thank you.   :p

Yes, I am well aware of this tactic it also exists in architecture. It's the most passive aggressive quasi-trollish management technique ever invented by our society. All those ideological ghosts that we were educated with, you know, "realize your potential, be the best, be yourself, roar like a leaf in the wind, etc.", are absolutely correlated with the interest of exploiting to the fullest the "intellectual property" worker, by giving him/her this manipulative dillema "well we could just work the eight hour shifts and let our products be ordinary... but is that what your spirit craves for? Is this what you really want to achieve for yourself?"

I'm not criticizing anyone who is exploited by this. I am a voluntary victim of this idea myself. I am just deeply skeptical of the system, I think it's like it discovered the way to exploit workers and make them like it. Extremely cynical.

so what i did with the other 19:55 of my time was wander the ship.  i found the barber shop, the officer staterooms, one more functional head, and stood on the bridge for a minute.  also stood on the flight deck and looked over the edge all the way to the bottom of the drydock.  if i were prone to vertigo, that would have been a doozy.

Just don't use any anaesthetic drugs before going to the hospital. My friend did that and he had to be longer under observation because the wound wouldn't heal as quickly as anticipated.

It's coming up on 6 weeks since I filed, and I've got most of my research done, a short list of cars located, and plans in place - and I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

They claim a 4-6 week turnaround time for mailed in returns, which I had to do due to my address changing.

Honestly, my parents would keep on driving that Sebring - it's still startlingly reliable even in winter, but it's rusting out and the suspension/steering is totally shot. And they really don't have the funds to patch it back up.

The car I'm passing to them has nearly as many kilometers and a few problems of it's own, but it's not nearly as rough.

The bulk of my driving nowadays consists of trips to the train station and grocery store (5-10 minutes tops) or nearly weekly 100 km+ (each way) trips to see family on major 6-lane highways, as both my parents and my girlfriends parents live in a rural area with no transit of any type. For the shorter trips and rural 2-lane highways my old car is fine, but it's getting a bit nerve-wracking to do the major highways with it.

We're at over 170k miles on our '01 Pontiac Firebird.  Total work done:

Regular oil changes and tire changes/rotations
Battery change or two
Switched out Formula trim hood for Trans-Am trim hood with Ram-Air
Performance exhaust
Ball joints
Water pump
Replace power steering fluid

Still has original spark plugs and everything else.  We suspect the previous owner replaced the ECU because the top speed was higher than it should be.  Still runs beautifully.  Can overtake on the highway like nothing else.

Got fired yesterday, and my depression disappeared the moment I heard "We're terminating your apprenticeship with Andrews Sykes."
That job was well on it's way to making me do something markedly dangerous to myself with how I've been treated by the management and Directors.

The reason was because I wasn't bringing in money, despite the fact that I had next to no training and got dumped into a job that even someone with 10+ years experience on me finds almost impossible to do while still meeting targets set by the management.

My happiness levels are over 9000, and now i'm moving up my plans to join the met police.

Apparently they have no way to confirm if the tax center even received my filing until it's reviewed and posted.

It hasn't been reviewed and posted.

Tomorrow will be 6 weeks since filing.

Their only recommendations were
1) Re-mail it again, marked Duplicate. Wait another 4-6 weeks
2) Change my address and direct deposit info (The reason I filed by mail, you can't using NetFile) over the phone and then NetFile. Wait 8-16 days.

See watsisname's pic. Instead of the phoenix resting on a branch like in the picture, have the bugger rest on one of the landmarks, like maybe the bridge or one of the skyscrapers.

The meteors showed up, but wasn't overly spectacular.  Had some ~10 minute stretches of 100+ meteor per hour rates with a few bright fireballs, separated by long periods of nothing at all.  Really strange shower behavior.  Must have had several tightly banded streams or something.

It did wind up getting clear for me around 2:30 AM or so, and I went outside for 5 or 10 minutes, but I didn't see a single one over that time stretch, so I gave up and went back inside before my neck remained permanently kinked back.

#FreeTheNipple is currently trending on Twitter.

Now... I firmly believe that North America is has a stupid hang-up about sexuality which causes all kinds of societal problems; we are both overly sexualized and puritanical all at once.  There is something wrong with a society that can show murder on primetime TV, but not breasts.

That said, something about this idea that a hashtag on Twitter is going to change anything is hilarious - I'm 99% certain that most people looking at the tag are doing it precisely in the same way I did:  "Wait a sec, people are posting pictures of their boobs online?  As a devout believer in boobs in general, I feel I should show my support and look."  And no, that does not directly contradict my statement above.

Wednesday, I woke up to a headache and puke. I decide to go to work a after it all seemed to calm down. Got in, people ask if I was alright. Turns out I had gained a bunch of red-spots all over my face all of a sudden (Or Bloodfreckles as I like to call them). I leave and go to a Clinic. Spent from 11:30 Am to 4:30 Pm waiting for an examination (Thank goodness I took a book with me!). Doctor says it was probably a migraine after I give him all the details, tells me to avoid stress as much as possible & gives me a recipe in case it comes back.

Next day, at work: Lights go off at about the first hour. The whole day was spent grudgingly trying to find the pieces of goddamn orders with half the warehouse in the dark, half lighted through windows. You can imagine it gets very irritating on your eyes to constantly go from Darkness to Lightness back an forth for four ****ing hours. Then I had to package all the things and weight them with this big ass-scale (http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/hyphen.jpg) that someone decided would be smart to put on a tall table. I finish all that up by 2 PM and decide to go home since all that's left is shipping and that is handled by others, I lost 40 or so Dollars in pay, but **** it, I am tired. As I am leaving, I get the biggest goddamn-mother****ing headache I've ever felt in my life. And I even took some pills before leaving work. I dread thinking what it would have been had I not taken that precaution when all I felt was a little pulse-stab behind my left eye.

Thankfully, Friday was much calmer. And I haven't felt much since then.

I'm finally planning to retire my nGage after almost 7 years of use. The ol' war horse has earned it.
The problem is that my budged is somewhat... how would I say it... limited, so that rules out quite a lot of good alternatives.

At the moment I'm more or less balancing between three options:

1) Take a used Nokia C7 from my ol' man. Needs a battery replacement, otherwise works fine (or so I've heard).

2) Get a Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus

3) Get a Lumia 520

I... really like how the WP8 (well WP8.1) looks and works but I don't really have anything big against the Android either.
I have a really hard time to make a proper decision... so I just might go for the C7 for the time being. If I need to have mobile entertainment I can use my 7" Android tablet for that.

But lord help me if I don't feel the huge urge to get a nice high tech phone just for the technical kicks and euphoria, and a proper mobile camera.

[sigh] Nuke being helpful as always, I see.

Klaus, hang in there, and as was said earlier, drink lots of water.  Sleep aides are (in general) pretty bad news.  I would strongly recommend that you avoid them.  If they've been prescribed... well, hell, things must be pretty bad then, and your doctor needs to know that it has gotten so much worse.

I've been pretty low in the past.  What finally turned it all around was the realization that nobody was actually forcing us to stay (in the state we hated, in the land where the sun seemed to disappear for months on end, at a university where the faculty were pitting the students against each other in an utterly toxic way... etc.).  No one was going to stop us from leaving.  Things almost immediately got better once we decided to leave, even though we stuck around for another half a year to finish my MS.  Just knowing that there was an end in sight.

Starting over does kind of suck in that it is scary to say, Yeah, screw all this that I've been working towards for years, it isn't worth it.  And it does require a careful plan and not just a by-your-leave ****-it-all.  But leaving is almost always an option.

Let's add on to the wonderful emotional theme we've got going here

I'm going to start this off with I shouldn't be around here, least that was the plan. However, I had found myself helping someone out and instead stuck around to see her through her troubles. She lived in the States, I in Canada. As things progressed, we became extremely close, very close. Months later, we both realized that feelings for eachother had reached a peak, the problem with that being location and some other factors I can't get into.

So emotionally, that was difficult as all hell. Requited love that wasn't to be realized. Got myself back into a bad place trying to deal with those emotions since it was all new ground and I was already not in the right frame of mind. Didn't help at the time she was looking for someone of her own, while keeping me close, best friend and all.

Moving forward several months to now, I'm heading down there to see her as well as a few other people (planned long before current BF). Currently on a diet of SSRIs which have thrown me for a loop the past week, while problems with her boyfriend threw me in for another.

At that point, I made the mistake of having hope, which was later crushed since they managed to fix the situation (both glad, yet not really, conflict of interest and all that)

It's difficult and hard as hell (I'm not alone in that regards, but she has the benefit of having someone else, I don't) and I know that it will still be an unrealized love, unfortunately she essentially saved my life so the feelings are so deeply ingrained into my heart and brain it's impossible to just forget about them. They won't fade either, thought they did at one point but turns out they really didn't.

So sure, plenty of fish in the sea, etc, you could say that. Problem is that because of my condition, I'm inherently a bad choice for a relationship so I choose not to go around looking for that reason. Add on the fact I love my best friend and will always? As far as I'll ever know, she's #1 in my books, no one could even come close for a whole slew of reasons. That naturally leaves me in a bad position to accept anyone new like that into my life since they'll always just be #2 no matter how hard I try.

Basically, where something great happens, there's always an equal amount of not so great to go with it. That's how my life works which is why I generally aim for having things just happen. Where there isn't presence of good, there won't be presence of bad. Where there isn't hope, there isn't disappointment.

She has a way of getting me to want to get better, but again, my getting better for her is conflicted with the thought that despite all this, mutual feelings, the history, it won't be.

Gah

This isn't exactly the best way to look for help, but I could use the objective/blunt/whatever opinions/thoughts/advice from strangers
I don't expect anything from her, much like I don't expect to live happily. I'll live though. I just need to figure out how to cope with the pain this causes inside

I'm going to start this off with I shouldn't be around here, least that was the plan. However, I had found myself helping someone out and instead stuck around to see her through her troubles. She lived in the States, I in Canada. As things progressed, we became extremely close, very close. Months later, we both realized that feelings for eachother had reached a peak, the problem with that being location and some other factors I can't get into.

So emotionally, that was difficult as all hell. Requited love that wasn't to be realized. Got myself back into a bad place trying to deal with those emotions since it was all new ground and I was already not in the right frame of mind. Didn't help at the time she was looking for someone of her own, while keeping me close, best friend and all.

Moving forward several months to now, I'm heading down there to see her as well as a few other people (planned long before current BF). Currently on a diet of SSRIs which have thrown me for a loop the past week, while problems with her boyfriend threw me in for another.

At that point, I made the mistake of having hope, which was later crushed since they managed to fix the situation (both glad, yet not really, conflict of interest and all that)

It's difficult and hard as hell (I'm not alone in that regards, but she has the benefit of having someone else, I don't) and I know that it will still be an unrealized love, unfortunately she essentially saved my life so the feelings are so deeply ingrained into my heart and brain it's impossible to just forget about them. They won't fade either, thought they did at one point but turns out they really didn't.

So sure, plenty of fish in the sea, etc, you could say that. Problem is that because of my condition, I'm inherently a bad choice for a relationship so I choose not to go around looking for that reason. Add on the fact I love my best friend and will always? As far as I'll ever know, she's #1 in my books, no one could even come close for a whole slew of reasons. That naturally leaves me in a bad position to accept anyone new like that into my life since they'll always just be #2 no matter how hard I try.

Basically, where something great happens, there's always an equal amount of not so great to go with it. That's how my life works which is why I generally aim for having things just happen. Where there isn't presence of good, there won't be presence of bad. Where there isn't hope, there isn't disappointment.

She has a way of getting me to want to get better, but again, my getting better for her is conflicted with the thought that despite all this, mutual feelings, the history, it won't be.

Gah

This isn't exactly the best way to look for help, but I could use the objective/blunt/whatever opinions/thoughts/advice from strangers
I don't expect anything from her, much like I don't expect to live happily. I'll live though. I just need to figure out how to cope with the pain this causes inside

End text wall

about 12 years ago i was in a long range relationship with a canadian girl who i had talked to for a long time. it was somewhat complicated because this was the time my brothers now former wife was using me as her personal dildo. i kinda busted up with her because i couldn't deal with loving one and ****ing the other. meaningless sex won out.

a couple years ago she tried to get back with me. trying to bust up with her abusive boyfriend and hook up with me instead. it occurred to me that it was the same situation but in reverse. so i kinda do what i do, i blew her off, blocked all lines of communications, and told members of my family not to tell her where i am. this is a no drama zone.

coping with pain is easy: drugs, hookers, and booze.

I made it through work without incident.  Had some dwelling thoughts a couple times, and I now understand what it is to literally feel numb inside, but for the most part a normal day.  Bad traffic, pissed off navy folk, me pushing to make their jobs hell while feeling terrible about it because that's my goddamn job.  Walked around in a daze for the first bit and at the end from my car to my front door, but I thought I'd made it and was fine.  Except when I shut the door behind me I just collapsed and broke the **** up.  Didn't see it coming at all.  I fear this is how things will be for quite some time.

Dude, I have been there.  I showed up at her grad school commencement, intending to ask her to marry me afterward, and instead I got to meet her new boyfriend of five months that everyone else in the world already knew about and for some reason thought I was OK with.  It was like all the oxygen was sucked out of that gymnasium.  I literally do not remember the two hour drive home, except stopping to buy a pack of smokes.  For months, hearing her name or smelling her perfume would just tear me up.  I ended up burning the sheets on the bed we had last slept in, because I could still imagine that I could smell her perfume even though they had been washed at least a dozen times.

It takes time, but you will survive, and you will feel better eventually.  Paxil (antidepressant) and Buspar (antianxiety)helped speed up that time, but don't self-medicate (legal or illegal substances) and don't give up.  If your work has any sort of employee assistance program, take advantage of it.  Talking with a counselor made me feel like an idiot, but just talking did help.  I also did a lot of journaling, writing down thoughts and feelings. 

Also, I won't preach to you and this might not be a popular thing to say here, but praying to Jesus helps.  He listens.  I wish I had done more praying back then.  PM me if you want.

Hang in there.

Grr.  My stupid bad-word 480GTX died tonight.  I kept getting a black screen and then a message that the video driver failed and recovered, so I rolled back to an earlier driver but had the same thing.  I took the card out and blew out the dust, but there wasn't a whole lot as I had just done that a couple of months ago.  When I put it back in it worked for a few minutes, then I started getting artifacting like it was overheating, and then the screen froze up.  The fan was still turning and never ramped up like it does playing some games.  Using safe mode I updated the driver again, but now I just get a BSOD as soon as the Windows splash screen fades.  My options for internet access are use safe mode, or my tablet (which I hate typing on).  It's going to be a while before I can save up to get a comparable card.  I might have to go with the cheapest PCIe card I can find as a stopgap, but of course gaming would be out.  :(

...

I recently became more thoroughly convinced that my "one person", who I previously believed to have been the first person to ever block me on Facebook, was actually telling the truth when she told me, in person, that she hadn't blocked me, just changed her privacy settings. And not in the "blocking you is a privacy setting" sense.

I wish I could offer words of advice, but as far as I'm consciously aware, I've never felt genuine full-on romantic love towards anyone on my years on this rock.  I'm starting to wonder if it's less a case of never stumbling across the right person, and more a case of something wrong upstairs (which would be most likely related to the already-known things upstairs, but I digress).  I can't help but wonder how true that old "loved and lost" platitude really is.

I think I never felt that badly for being rejected, somehow I always feel that is the common standard state of the universe, and it was rather the exception to that rule, not the rule itself, that surprised me and sort of traumatized me with excitement. Perhaps that general numbness and cynicism on my part was a coping mechanism, but even if it were just that it worked long enough until it didn't matter anymore.

So hang in there, it gets better.

Just reading through the FS2 board on Steam, and even looking past the legit complaints over the BS fact that the game can't currently be run there, it's kind of amazing to see how much Steam has spoiled PC gamers.  I mean I came into the scene a little while after you had to manually set your IRQ ports and such, but even I did more than my fair share of jumping through hoops and fiddling with things in order to get certain things working.  Lousy kids and their baggy pants and their rap music...

Finally convinced wife to let me buy a new rifle.
Researched inexpensive .22 LR bolt-action rifles.
Drove to store.
Talked to clerk.
Priced out two variants.
Decided that fibre optic sight illumination really not worth $80 more than adjustable notched.
Pulled out wallet.  Asked if models ever go on sale.
Informed sale starts tomorrow, 10% off.
Asked if hold over policy?
Informed no holds.
Asked about quantity in stock?
15.
See you tomorrow.

Somewhat anticlimatic.  Though I did stop buy another supply store for a trigger lock with a combination dial instead of keys.  Whoever designed that is a magnificent brilliant bastard; no more fumbling for frickin keys.

We training up north in full troop strength,  irked the RAF earlier in the week. Won a Royal Engineer drinking game called nails. It involves a tree stump, a hammer, nails, and if you can't hit the nail flush in one tap, a forehead.  In retrospect it may have been a bit more than 20 feet.

edit - but definitely less than 40. I could see burning grass afterwards so it might not have been directly overhead.

Not at all, no.  I'm up to about $1k/month.  Goes up about $50 every time I renew.  The cheapest place I looked at when hunting was about $750.  That was because it wasn't in a terribly safe area.  To get something cheap around here you either have to be ok with living in the ghetto or in an insane dump of an apartment/house.

Our house used to be under the approach of the local (now-closed) joint reserve base, so we'd have A-10s and P-3s flying over all the time, along with the occasional more exotic sample.  I really miss the air shows they had. :(

Our current apartment is under one of the approach paths for Toronto Pearson - not that close, so the planes are generally still quite high up when they pass overhead. That said, the highway leading south from the city runs only a couple blocks from the airport and so trips down the highway often involve pretty low-flying planes overhead.

It's just another Star Trek series. Somewhat different to the others, in that a lot of it is set on a space station rather than the lone ship travelling the galaxy.

Just finished series 5. On to 6 and 7. I like the bigger dominion, romulan, klingon, sarcasian arc. The political intrigue is very well written. The characters are also interesting, especially Odo, Quark. I've skimmed a lot of filler though. I like the idea of this gorgeous 20+ year old woman actually having a memory of being more than 300 years, rendering her with a confidence and grasp over the universe at odds to what would be expectable from someone 20+ years old. I like that tension, that oddity. But I don't like Jadzia. Too smug. Bashir took his smugness down to a tolerable level, Garak is very entertaining except when he takes psycho drugs.

I find the Vorta at odds to their description. "Cunning diplomats" is not the thing that comes to mind, more like sleazy, disgusting, obvious liars. They should have been portrayed in the most likable fashion, and the tension, the "other side", would come precisely from the things they proposed and did (and obviously the Jem Hadar, which I find an interesting species), rather than this caricatural portrayal of slimy physically weak obnoxious sleazy evil blue-eyed antagonists.

I enjoy the idea of changelings being in power over the Dominion. It fits, they were persecuted and have developed a great sense of paranoia and desire to control their surroundings, all the while ironically proving to everyone else that they were right about persecuting them in the first place, for they are extremely dangerous, cunning, able to infiltrate everything they want.

Overall, I am enjoying DS9. I can see why people say it's the best Star Trek series, in a way it hinted at the current flow of series that work like a very large movie, instead of small episodes. While clearly episodical (and some being very similar in tone with TNG), it is the best when it works at a larger scale.

Ugh.  Been there.  I never drink alcohol, so that wasn't an issue with me, but I did have to give up caffeine for about a year.  That sucked.  I don't think it was so much because of my meds as it was the underlying anxiety they were trying to treat.

I remember this one time in the middle of it all, we'd flown back to Texas to see our families for Christmas.  We were finally away from all of the insanity of grad school, and I was just sitting with Mom and Dad having some breakfast, and I just started thinking about "The Bad PlaceTM" and my heart started pounding so hard I could hardly hear anything else.  I had to go lay down on the couch, and Mom just looked like she was about to cry.

...It occurs to me that this probably isn't helpful.  How about this, then.  It did end.  It did get better.  It took awhile, but we're all ok now.  :D

So in my DS9 marathon, I finally watched "In the Pale Moonlight". Some points.

It's a good episode. I was spoiled well beforehand so I more or less knew what would happen, but still it is entertaining even when spoiled. The best thing about the episode is the soundtrack, ominous, relentless, never letting you go. I only noticed the unusual high quality of it in the last scenes, very appropriate.

I enjoy the idea of Sisko "being able to live with it". This is the tragedy of this episode, which is the cost of the "bargain" of having Romulus entering the war against the Dominion. I am extremely tired of such "bargains". Whenever something "good" is to happen in these episodes, they are always followed by some sort of bargain, some sort of misfortune or sacrifice that "balances" it all out. It's one really pathetic truth that one easily identifies with all the hippie "Karma" bull**** that pervades Star Trek episodes and other similar writing stuff: If Kirk is to "rebirth" and find he has a son, then Spock has to die in TWOK. In the next movie, if Spock is to come back, then his son must die, and so on and so on. "Gods" want sacrifices, they bestow upon us their gifts only so far as we suffer equally important casualties. In Star Trek, these "Gods" are called "Scripts" and they demand perfectly harmonious equations of these sorts.

Not "In the Pale Moonlight". Yes, they did emphasize how this will hurt Sisko's self respect. But I have to agree with Garak: it was a ****ing bargain, and I think the real tragedy, the real reason why this episode works so well as a tragedy, is that Sisko can "live with it". That is, there is no pay. There is no sacrifice to be made to the gods of the script. That's the real scary stuff.


And of course, there's also a tiny aspect that I couldn't but notice. The idea of a black representative of the Liberal Empire showcasing a manufactured evidence to outside representatives of a preemptive strike from a malevolent third party was all too foreshadowing of a certain presentation in the UN from a certain black US representative regarding a certain malevolent third party. That was also in the back of my mind, especially considering the most recent news in Iraq and how even the most conservative pundits are conceding all the arguments to the liberals regarding the start of that war.

I don't want to frighten you, but my mother told me a few weeks ago about this program she watched where this woman died of a brain disease due to a tick bite on her foot. So you might want to talk to a doctor just in case.

If it's a soft tick, you don't have to worry about Lyme's disease. But if it's a hard tick, then you should see a Doc ASAP.

We've been getting a lot of deer around my place lately, and during the spring we found at least 2 ticks on the dogs and 1 on my mum. We were especially not happy about the tick on her ear lobe.

It was a tiny little tick, too small to assess any sort of "hard" or "soft". But most ticks are resistant to being smashed/crushed/etc. anyway. Also I found it while I was in the shower, so it being covered in water didn't help; I couldn't even see it had legs until I pulled it out.

that ship sailed years ago.  worked the first time she got a boyfriend after i developed romantic feelings for her while we were in high school, but once we went off to separate unis, i knew better.  that was about 8 years ago.


well, i guess that trick kinda DID work this whole time.  on every OTHER girl that had an interest in me or i might have otherwise dated.  she was dating guys in college, why couldn't I do the same while we were apart for an extended time?  nah, i "wasn't interested" in that.  now that this has gone down in a towering inferno those "non-interests" that i really don't even have as friends anymore are playing back through my head.

my oldest cat had another mini stroke. seems shes lost some function on her left side. she can still walk, but she limps and drags her claws on the ground (which is really annoying). she spends hours walking in circles and sometimes looses her footing. she also has trouble holding her head up straight and seems to have trouble locating sounds and may have lost more of her vision. she has had them before, but has always snapped back from it.

she seems too stubborn to die though. most animals just lie down and wait to die. this one seems to walk aimlessly in circles for no other reason than to spit in the face of death. shes already earned nicknames like ol' scrapes, and zombie kitty. if she looks like shes given up then i will see about putting her down. shes 13 and any treatments will likely be well out of our ability to afford.

"Positive" racism is not a positive thing.  A positive 'ism' is one that isn't on the surface of things derogatory or obvious, but still contributes to discrimination and prejudice.

A good example of a 'positive ism' would be the concept that women should be protected.  While on the surface of things it sounds like a good idea (be a gentleman, etc., etc.), it presupposes that women are unable to take care of themselves and need to be protected, which is obviously neither true nor (ironically) a positive attitude to have.

@An4ximandros: I have no idea what you mean by that.

zombie kitty is having a hard time eating the cheap dry cat food that we can afford to buy. so i had to soak it in water so she could eat it. now the house has the horrible smell of wet dry catfood. shes also having a hard time getting into the litter box so its going to be horrible when that comes out the other end.

pure animal instinct. nothing more nothing less. even the most pathetic of life forms will fight tooth and nail to avoid death when a threat is detected. its the reason why most suicide attempts dont work. even if you take a bunch of pills or jump off a high spot. somewhere between the action and its reaction those instincts will kick in and ruin everything.

Life is awesome. Even though I work in a crappy job for crappy wages (but good hours) and I'm 4eva alone, I'm happy, I'm taking steps to make things better (both career and relationship-wise) and I'm already seeing improvements, and I finally have a bit of peace and quiet.

Remember, if life kicks you in the teeth, you kick it in the teeth straight back! You got more important things to do than take a beating! Ain't nobody got time for that!

My mouse's batteries are almost dead. A little light on the top comes on when it's low on power, to make sure it runs out of power faster. Stupid design.

Yes, I am aware that LEDs are very efficient and the light probably doesn't actually shorten the lifetime of the batteries substantially. This was brought up the last time I posted about the stupid batteries running out. I still think it's stupid.

I re-added the code for giant alien brambles in my FPS! I don't remember why I removed it in the first place! Maybe it was because sending all those verts to the GPU makes my computer run slow? And also the fan goes whirrrr. Or maybe it was when I ditched Bullet physics, 'cuz I noticed the physics code was all old and broken... so for now the brambles have no physics, and the game runs slow when I look at them. :blah:

Still no progress on C/PHFT.

Hey, that's great! Did you get that close to it, or does your camera just have a good zoom on it?

Got up close to him. Actually, nearly skittled him with my ute - I got out to make sure he was OK, and only realized he was a small Perentie and not a Bungarra (which are much more common) once I got up close. They're not really dangerous to approach, as long as you're sensible about it.

Oh, well I bet you got a kick out of that then if you wanted to see one in the wild and you saw it up close. And thankfully it wasn't up close after it had been under the wheels of your ute.

Ah, I know this one! It's the term for a "truck" over near Australia, and is short for utility (I think). Similar in the Americas were we have SUV's (Sport Utility Vehicles), the Ute applies to both van-like and truck-like vehicles.

Close - but in my (Aussie) opinion a ute is a light vehicle with a cab and a tray, completely separate from a SUV which is more like an overgrown hatch or a small 4WD.  It would seem that the US term for the same vehicle is a Pickup.

Hey Internets,

I've got a bunch of stupid processes always running that I want to go away (or be told a good reason why they shouldn't go away).

1. unsecapp.exe, running at login
2. WmiPrvSE (possibly minus one of those letters), running at login, and every time I start Firefox
3. TrustedInstaller, running without asking for permission
4. taskhost and taskeng, running for idk-why
5. dllhost (and rarely rundll), running for idk-why

What do?



Posting here instead of its own thread because... idk, I don't feel like making a thread just for this.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: headdie on July 04, 2014, 11:49:08 am
first point of call is to google the process name, for example

unsecapp.exe - http://searchtasks.answersthatwork.com/tasklist.php?File=Unsecapp

Quote
Sink to receive asynchronous callbacks for WMI client application running in different processes. WMI, Windows Management Instrumentation, enables software developers to write scripts and programs for the management or querying of devices, user accounts, Windows services, running programs, networking, and many other internal technical aspects of Windows - in other words the sort of work TUT does (for example : TUT, The Ultimate Troubleshooter, uses WMI to retrieve all the information that it shows on the System Info tab).

This particular task, UNSECAPP.EXE, is started by Windows Vista when a program needs to use WMI programming - it provides programs with a conduit (sink) to receive from Windows the results of their WMI queries and commands.

------

Leave alone - if this program is running it is because Windows Vista started it automatically in order to support a program that is using WMI.

Leave them alone. All of them are OS-level tasks that do important things. TrustedInstaller in particular is the service responsible for managing and installing Windows updates.

Post by: Aardwolf on July 04, 2014, 12:29:38 pm
Let me rephrase that. I know they are all legit MS programs; I want to know why they are running. I want to know what program, service, scheduled task, etc., is creating these processes.

unsecapp in particular is new and runs at startup, despite the fact that I haven't installed anything new that should run at startup. I want to know why it's running.

WMIblah runs every time I start Firefox. I'm going to look this one up right now Well I found a thread about it, but I'm on Win7 and this talks about it being XP/Vista only (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/985811)

I know TrustedInstaller installs updates, but I'm pretty sure I told Windows to ask before installing.



Hm... so, general question, all of these "-host" programs, is that just referring to localhost, or are they actually talking to a remote machine?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: LHN91 on July 04, 2014, 01:04:15 pm
taskhost and dllhost do essentially what the name says - taskhost hosts dll based services and dllhost hosts dll based applications. These are generic processes that could be used by more-or-less anything.

taskeng is the Windows Task Scheduler's process

UNSECAPP.exe and WmiPrvSE are part of WMI. This could be essentially any program bringing these up as the Windows Management Instrumentation is heavily used by pretty much every program that needs even a cursory look at specs/stats regarding the system it's running on.

Again, all are necessary Windows core functions. Beyond maybe setting UNSECAPP to not load automatically, the rest should be left alone.

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: Kopachris on July 04, 2014, 01:05:27 pm
The -host programs refer to hosting various system-related processes which aren't complete enough to run themselves.  dllhost, taskhost, and svchost all run .dll files in various capacities.  unsecapp.exe is, according to google, "a process found on Microsoft Windows server and workstation suites which offers support towards compatibility issues."  WmiPrvSE is used by various other programs for monitoring and notification.

Basically, don't disable any of these.

EDIT: LHN91's description is better, but yeah, still don't disable any of these.

The problem is that almost all of them have nigh-infinite numbers of things causing them to load. Essentially, without knowing every single application, dll, and service and every revision of every application, dl, or service there is no feasible way to know what specific thing causes these particular instances to load.

The reason we're answering with whether it's safe to delete is because ultimately it doesn't matter at all what is causing them to load - they're core processes used by a plurality of things in the system.

Yes, there are utilities that can show you what called what.  Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) (and the rest of the sysinternals suite) is a good place to start.

Dead drive  :( The whole computer just hung itself while playing a game; a quick push-button later, and it no longer shows itself on POST. There's no horrible clicking noises that suggest head stack or platter mayhem, so I think something electrical just died (I hope), since the whole drive's been cold and silent since death. And I have no idea how to revive it, this is out of my league. :(

It's still under warranty, but the problem is the data. Don't feel easy with RMA or data recovery services, but the only other option is shipping things back and forth and playing with the PCB and the drive's own flash ROM. And that has its own implications / danger / cost. :banghead:

(the above paragraphs understate the anxiety)

I suppose to the casual observer, this will be a classic case of drilling the idea of "data backup"... *sighs* No more bickering around with the shps and tbm's and pew pew pew and +Corkscrew and whatever for a long while :banghead:

birthday tomorrow.  interested to see if a certain someone calls me.  or contacts me at all.  either way, i've decided my gift to myself (other than the 6 albums and bass i already bought) is to lay everything out.  can't make it worse now right?

of course, i've decided this before.  and chickened out.  maybe i'll write it out first.  then if all else fails i can text it.

I think you're on to something there. This situation has caused him a lot of pain. So go into it with a mindset not expecting it, and trying not to think about it, so any pain will be minimised. And if it does happen, great! :)

a hard drive glitch would still result in a post beep (and an error message). you could try disconnecting the hard drive and see if the bios posts and gives you an error. ive also noticed that sata controllers seem to be rather finicky. i got a hard drive that needs to have its sata cable wiggled periodically for no aparent reason. maybe hook it up to another machine and see if you can read the contents.

relationships are a horrible way to fix crazy. you either end up with someone just as bad off as you are, or they dump you because you are not normal. either way you get drama and that tends to make your cheese slide further off your cracker. your best bet is to hang out with sex addicts and dont expect anything more than a polished knob.

Hey guys,

So I am now back for some value of "back". I've actually been lurking and on SCP internal for a couple months now. To explain:

I've decided that besides the (probably permanent) central vision loss, there's too many important things going on IRL that just aren't well served by spending time on Internet forums. As such, most HLP boards are now on my ignore list. I'll still continue my work for the SCP when I can. Programming turned out to be a good career choice -- there are even programmers who are completely blind.

In case you're wondering how I'm doing, well, as the CAH card puts it: "Exactly what you'd expect". That's all I really want to say here.

To anyone thinking of giving something resembling a motivational speech: please don't. I don't want to hear it. Nothing personal. I hope you understand.

Finally, since it's very unlikely that I'll be able to play an FSO game again, here are the campaigns I played:

Thanks, guys. It's been fun. :) See you on the SCP/FSO boards.

Maybe it can be an opportunity. If your employer sees you just passed a big deadline and did so while clearly sick, and turned up on time for the interview, that will show you're a good worker.

Ooooh, you should get that checked out at once.

Back problems are serious business and the last thing you want is to be wandering around potentially making a bad situation worse. These things can really creep up on you.

a hard drive glitch would still result in a post beep (and an error message). you could try disconnecting the hard drive and see if the bios posts and gives you an error. ive also noticed that sata controllers seem to be rather finicky. i got a hard drive that needs to have its sata cable wiggled periodically for no aparent reason. maybe hook it up to another machine and see if you can read the contents.

I don't have another machine so I can't try plugging there, but as it is, it's dead to the point that randomly plugging in the power and SATA cable while the computer's running doesn't do anything. No start-up "heat/noise" at all. Weekdays away from home 24/7 almost all the time means I won't be recovering it anytime soon.

Still hope it's not the platters or head stack, it didn't make any noise when it died so really really hoping it's just the PCB...

Well, you know what? Each shot is worth the amount of awesome that follows! 3500$ rifle, getting it for 2700$, slapping on a 1700$ optic and then heading to places I can fire that thing 1000 - 1500 yards. Add a little tannerite and we've got a party

But on another note, I'm not going to be doing massive amounts of shooting with this thing. It's like that rifle you have and you pull out once in a while to enjoy it, like a cigar or a nice scotch. Afterwards, you tuck it away for a bit and enjoy the cheaper stuff

And speaking of cheaper stuff, I now have four Mosin Nagants. Once the last one gets delivered to my doorstep today, I shall take a picture and play the USSR anthem

I am soon going to be the proud owner of a CS50 rifle
To those who don't feel like looking it up, it's a rifle chambered for .50 BMG rounds
And it's made in Canada. It's also glorious

I feel so envious  :lol:

Hey Nabisco, your quality control sucks. I just opened a sealed pack of Fig Newtons and it was missing 4 of the 26 cookies.

(extended version since this is HLP, not Twitter)

This never used to happen until they switched from 2 bags of 15 each to a stiff plastic tray with 2 holes for 13 each. And kept the price the same when they made the change, too, IIRC. (This was many years ago now)

No, not at all. This one got shot down over Ukraïne yesterday killing 300 people (most of them apperently had something to do with an AIDS summit, some leading health researchers) by AFAIK, russian seperatists who mistook it for an Ukrainian Antonov An-22. Most of these people were Dutch, so this is getting a lot of coverage in the Netherlands right now.

Though honestly I think your time and money is better spent on other things, but that's me being cynical and having a growing dislike of people

I enjoy being a recluse, sort of. Once you start talking to yourself, you find just how interesting you are to talk to!

Nothing wrong with that. Talking to yourself is the sign of a healthy mind! Go ahead, ask yourself questions, and give yourself answers, it's good for you.

HOWEVER.

As soon as you ask yourself to repeat yourself, you're in trouble.

Friend of mine got hit with the "your windows has viruses oh noez!" scam call today. He wasn't thinking straight, and actually listened to the scammer and let him remote into his computer. Fortunately, my friend did have the presence of mind to not pay anything and disconnect the remote and call.

Then I went over to perform a comprehensive virus scan and deliver a lecture on the dangers on the internet. His parents are still a security risk though...

Seems like winning an argument with yourself and losing one would most often happen simultaneously. By losing, you move on to a more correct position.

So now I briefed him on the second person, the one I care most about getting back in touch with, the literal woman of my dreams (though I didn't tell him that).

Sounds like you had quite the memorable in-a-good-way day. You only get one of these, so I'm glad you had a great one.

It was kind of both.  Mom put $5 in a machine, took a $29 ticket out.  She gave the ticket to me and said "Happy birthday."  I played on that ticket for a bit and won over $100 on a Bejewled slot machine.  Kept playing on that ticket for the rest of the night, and cashed it out for $140 at the end of the night.  Dinner was $30, and I spent $5 on tips for the beverage servers.

The effect on price that your run of the mill Wal-mart employee at the store level exerts is negligible to an extent that you wouldn't see one or two cents difference if the entire store suddenly got a $5/hr raise.

Going into the doctor for the first time in six years. I've been tired; had to drop my second job, I've sporadically had mouth sores, and existing Raynauds has been acting up. I'm still on my parents insurance, so I've scheduled an appointment with a local university hospital clinic. I'm making a little over $16,000 a year right now, so I'm terrified of them charging a crazy amount for blood work or something.

Shockingly enough, I think Nuke is actually right in spirit, if not necessarily in the specifics.  Take this with the necessary nugget of salt from one who's had zero lifetime experience with such entanglements, but I feel like that sort of almost obsession-level fixation on a likely-unavailable person is fairly unhealthy in general, and almost never ends well.  Just live your life, meet people, and see what happens.

And this statement right here is why it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.  People can sense that kind of obsessiveness, and, unless they're diganosable with Borderline PD, they tend to stay the hell away from it.

Your best bet is to become friends with one of her closer friends instead and let social gravity capture you both.

But as already said.  Have no expectations and they are always met. Just get on with "stuff*"


*stuff means any time filling activity that improves an aspect of yourself.

This is also what I would recommend. Not that you should just give up on the girl, but don't fixate on her.

Alternatively you don't have a grand plan of anything
Generally, that takes away the scheming aspect which takes away the whole obsessive nature aspect

If you aren't planning anything, you aren't making yourself revolve around the idea of the two of you

No, quite the opposite. The "unpleasantness" was when she and the rest of the volleyball group were... antagonistic. But the important thing is that she was there! (I need a "I'm totally insane" smiley, why is there no such smiley? :mad:)

My (would-be) go-between has reminded me that Facebook is blocked in China, and that is why his responses are sometimes considerably delayed. S-M-R-T.

Shockingly enough, I think Nuke is actually right in spirit, if not necessarily in the specifics.  Take this with the necessary nugget of salt from one who's had zero lifetime experience with such entanglements, but I feel like that sort of almost obsession-level fixation on a likely-unavailable person is fairly unhealthy in general, and almost never ends well.  Just live your life, meet people, and see what happens.

way i see it, until you are actually in a relationship (and the same goes with getting laid), then you dont know jack. get some experience in so you know what you are getting into, then make decisions about how you want to live the rest of your life. even if that experience is 'titty bar'. have a go at a practice girl or two. try dating just for the hell of it. hire a ****ing hooker if you have to. until you get any experience, you have exactly none.

I'm perfectly open to dating if/when the opportunity presents itself, but I'm not going to go out of my way to do it just for the sake of doing it; that honestly seems like a waste of effort.  Plus I'm able to have surprisingly-interesting conversations with myself.

it is a waste of effort if you look at my relationship history (not a comprehensive list).

2 no-sex puppy love relationships with girls i met in highschool with a total of 1.5 dates.
4 year purely sexual relationship with brother's fat (now ex) wife, with some on and off again stuff both before and after the main stretch.
3 weeks i spend dating a chubby but cute girl with baggage who ended up being in love with her room mate. she was a good kisser and liked to flash her boobs at parties. no sex though.
2 week relationship with hot girl (who everyone claims is crazy, but was really smart and artistic) whom i had great chemistry with. she left me because she got raped. still most successful relationship to date.
on and off dating of a self proclaimed sex addict who never seemed to want to put out, it just went nowhere.
dated a fat girl from work, went out with her twice, then she moved to washington for college i think.
3 weeks with fat, kinda dumb native alaskan girl who i met on myspace which resulted in a lot of sex and little in common. i would have broke it off if i wasnt getting any.
second major run in with brother's now ex wife whom i almost ended up marrying.
thing i did with black person (whos name i cant remember) i met in stairwell at slummy apartment.

lemmy would have called every one of them a damage case. i now know when to recognize a stringer, and how to recognize when someone is actually interested in me. ive also learned that some of the best relationships come out of ****ing nowhere. i also learned that with even minimal effort, you can get some. experience is good.

You gotta do what what works :yes: cos if you do nothing.  Nothing happens. But I stress this, don't push against tides. If a girls not interested don't chase it. Never chase. Chasing's what dogs do to sticks and cars.

Stay social with anyone you've been knocked by otherwise you're burning social bridges you've established through effort and time. Time is the one thing you won't get back. Not much of an issue when you're 50+ but young time <30 is like gold dust.

Anyway, if you can't stay socially connected with a girl who's not interested without fawning taking control.  Then in that case you ARE BETTER OFF without them in your social rotation. You rule your actions.  Don't let your actions dictate you.

I find people who are quick to diagnose love obsessions as a psychological disease far more dangerous and weird than those who suffer from it.

Love *is* ridiculous, weird, obsessing, it wrecks your entire life. It's also not a medical condition, it's a human condition, FFS.

Obsession is unhealthy when it can't be sated and you knowingly allow the obsession to continue.

I have not said anyone is obsessed. I'm saying, if she's not interested romantically, take it on the chin and move on.



Why are hypothetical impartial observers more dangerous than those being observed displaying certain traits may I ask?

Obsession is always unhealthy. That's why people call it "obsession" and not "hobby" or other watered-down politically correct behavioral setting that the Health Committee of the Human Race Might Approve. What's this obsession with health anyway? Might I say it's a bit unhealthy?

They are dangerous because they are advancing a world ideology that thinks that health is more important than love.

e: If you are able to "move on" so easily on your obsession, might I say that it wasn't an obsession at all? That obsessions by nature are overwhelming?

Obsession is not always unhealthy, it's a continuing preoccupation of the mind. Obsession with a goal like training for a sporting event such as a marathon. Obsession with mastering an art form such as a musical instrument or a particular creative medium. Obsession with...  Freespace  :yes:

Obsession with celebrity and or an unrequited love :nono: :no:

It's unhealthy if you let it rule you.
Unrequited is the key word above.

(a joke)

:P
As for how they go together, it's rather a simple equation

You're pining over a gal. The intermediary between you and the gal is contactable only through Facebook. Facebook goes down, you lose that middle man. Lose the middle man, lose your ability to proceed with your scheming

For normal instances, if Facebook goes down I'd like to believe that people don't get sad or start to freak out or make a post about it
For abnormal instances, the opposite happens

So there's my logic/reasoning/rationale for associating the two


As for what you're on about Luis, yes, love is an obsession. However, there is healthy and unhealthy love cycles. Healthy being, you've been with someone for however long it takes, being intimate not necessarily physically but primarily mentally. It's about the connection. Unhealthy being, you know very little about the person aside from there name and you find yourself infatuated to points of stalking and murals with candles (not saying you're at that point Aardwolf, just making the example as clear as possible)

The other thing I'd like to just say is there's a difference in loving someone, and being in love with someone.

Loving someone usually means you have a connection with that person. Being in love generally means you're invested in that person

And as a sidenote: I don't recall Aard ever saying he was in love with that person...
Either I missed something, or he never explicitly said it

im gonna have to agree with luis on this one. our society has gone out of its way to make it seem as if a relationship is supposed to be a thing that is either perfect or is going to end up in a two way mutual rape-torture-murder after decades of spousal abuse. while in fact most of them are in the gray area somewhere in the middle. my relationships may have been closer to involuntary mutual chainsaw masturbation than the norm, but i still was enriched by them and felt dead inside when the were over. as self destructive as they were for all parties involved, i like to think that they were worth the trouble, and i would also like to think the feeling is mutual (sans logging equipment or felonies of course).

i think thats one thing europeans have a leg up on americans or perhaps to a lesser degree brits (its hard to say who's culture is more repressed). they seem more accepting of love, and less about relentless fear mongering about all the horrible consequences of said love. you have a much greater chance of finding love than have a horrible experience with a dominatrix with a weedwacker while chained to a stump in the woods.

To move from the P1 to P2 license in Queensland (the driver's licenses in Australia go in a sequence of Learners, Provisional 1, Provisional 2 and then Opens) you have to take an online hazard* perception test - you can do it as many times as you need to before you pass, but only once per day. I attempted it tonight for the first time and didn't get it, because my average response time was longer than the required average of seven seconds...

...by .02 of a second.

:hopping:

The feedback did say that I could have missed some hazards; it was a bit vague, so I won't know whether I did miss something unless I try it again and get the required average time but still fail.

*Just in case that response time seems a little long - it's just stuff like identifying that you need to slow down because someone's slowing down in front of you, or doing a u-turn, or pulling out, etc. Not something like a dog darting in front of you, as far as I know. Although to be honest I thought I did pretty well at identifying hazards before I needed to act, so the person who made the test must be really good at picking up clues... or I'm actually rubbish.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't simply pass the test on his next attempt when he was so close. After all, when you try anything new the first time, you usually do significantly better the second time.

On the subject of obsessions, I definitely do not default to obsessions being a bad thing. Obsessions can propel people to greatness and happiness. Obsessions drive the human race forward. They're a double edged sword, but without them, so much greatness would not have been achieved.

Well maybe your go-between perhaps knows you don't have evil intentions. Is he a friend? If so then perhaps he really doesn't have an issue helping you.

So this girl actually knows you're obsessed with her? Well that could complicate things... I'm not sure how you allay her concerns if she sees that as a negative. Your go-between can't tell her you're not obsessed anymore.

I've been trying to stay out of this, because having gone thru similar situations pre-social media days I know that you will have to experience it for yourself and it won't matter what well-meaning advice others offer.  But I feel I must say this anyway, to ease my own conscience.  If they have blocked you, they had a reason(s), and this pursuit will not end well for you or the mediator.  It will only reinforce their resolve, and will likely ensure that their reticence lasts a literal lifetime, rather than just a few years that feel like one.   [cue violins] I pushed too hard with someone in freaking 1996, and when I reached out to apologize thru facebook from half a continent away 14 years later I got no response.  Years later a mutual friend told me that her response was basically **** off and die, and that she had not only blocked me on FB, but also pre-emptively blocked me on Flickr, MySpace, and anywhere else she could find me.  (I never tried again after the 2010 attempt so I didn't know she had blocked me). 

So go ahead and do what you gotta do; your true friends will still be there to pick up the pieces.  And I do hope that it works out differently for you than it did for me or countless other people in similar situations.

As they say, hell hath no fury.

But seriously, if they've actually blocked you (probably should have mentioned this sooner), that's a pretty damn clear "don't go there" signal.  Trying to get around it is bordering on stalker-ish behavior.

Mmm.

Well, in this case, her reason for blocking me was because I kept sending her friend requests (because I was too new to Facebook to realize the reappearance of the "add friend" button meant she had rejected my friend request). For whatever it's worth, she didn't block me the first time. (that said, I don't remember whether it was all the same day, or what)

I think it's an impulsive response, and having someone else to represent me should help ensure the message actually gets through. And I'm not just going to give him a message to deliver; I'm going (to try) to have him do the talking (even if I have to coach him). Although, the fact that he's 12h away and doesn't have reliable access to FB might complicate that a bit.

Hopefully this doesn't just end up with her unfriending/blocking him as well.  :blah:

Uh...? It's not like she's sending you mixed messages or anything. She explicitly rejected your friend request and went through the effort to block you from sending her messages. It seems like she's made it pretty clear that she doesn't want anything to do with you. Am I missing something here? Is there a reason you keep harassing her?

Ok, ok, trying to harass her. Either way it still sounds like she really doesn't want anything to do with you, and she's made that perfectly clear. Trying to communicate with her through increasingly obscure media isn't going to chanage that. This isn't going to end well.

No, not okay. He's not trying to harass her, he's trying to befriend her.

Please don't push him away.

You people are doing this wrong. He's not going to stop just because you tell him to. Because he's obsessed. People don't just go "oh, okay. That makes sense." And stop obsessing over something just because you advise them to stop obsessing over something. This is not a rational thing. He might be able to pursue the obsession in a rational manner, but the obsession will remain irrational as that is the nature of the beast.

So I think the best we can do is try and minimise the damage to both parties. Killing the obsession might be possible, but I believe it would centre on convincing him honestly that there is absolutely zero possibility of it ever coming to fruition, and there being no possible path to a possibility that results in a positive outcome. To that end I'd be interested in learning about what he intends to communicate and the history between the pair. If the history is too hostile, then there's no way this will work. If it's not so bad, and it is at least several years since they've last interacted with one another, there might be a possibility. And by possibility I mean a really slim one based on what I've read so far. I think he'd have to be sure any and all the problems that had happened between them in the past would no longer be an issue and that his presence in her life would be a positive thing for her for there to be any chance at all.

This girl I don't think is good for him. She doesn't seem to have anything to base a relationship on in terms of having things in common, or even be especially pretty, correct me if I'm wrong about any of this Aardwolf. Yet somehow she is powerfully attractive all the same, and it seems to be at least from what I've read pretty much nothing but that attraction that is drawing him to her. I wonder, what will he do if he gets to talk to her? Does he even know what he would do with her? Does he want to do anything other than bask in her presence? The important thing for him seems to simply be for her to be around because of how it makes him feel. Perhaps something akin to an addiction. This in itself is very dangerous I think, for someone to have that kind of power over you. It could be exploited to control or hurt you...

Post by: The Dagger on July 28, 2014, 11:12:41 am
In my experience the problem with obsessions is that they prevent you from seeing the reality. You build an image, a distorted memory of a girl you knew that is transformed into the only requisit for your neverending happiness. If you really haven't seen this girl in a while and are obsessed with her, it's not really her you want, because you don't even know her that much now. People change and memory can be pretty selective you know.

I mean, the problem is that even if you do get the girl, it won't make you happy. Truth is, obsessions never live up to your expectations.

And if you do get to be friends with this girl, you are up for some bad times too. It'll fuel your obsession even more, but you'll be constantly frustrated, seeing you are so close and yet so far. Your obsession will grow, you'll embrace it and build yourself around it. You'll think constantly of it, and it'll define you. You will think that it's something good. But it isn't even something real. You'll be living a lie. At some point, you will see through it and it'll cost you dear.

Nothing good is ever going to come from this obsession. The obsession is all about yourself and not about the other person. It'll never turn into real love. And it'll never give you happiness. Go find other stuff to do until you can see things objectively. If you make a choice to let it go, it'll be difficult at first but you'll move on and you'll be free and happier at the end.

@Everybody:

I'm already aware of most of the things you said. Either I have specific reasons to disagree, I've accepted them as unfortunate but necessary, or I'm just going to press on and feel uneasy about it.

If you think you had my interests at heart... thanks I guess? But I'll be fine.

If you think you had her interests at heart... we'll see. But pretty much by definition the "happy ending" for me is also happy for her, because what makes it happy for me is that she's friends with me, and she wouldn't be if she were unhappy about it.

And in case I left it ambiguous: yes it is obsessive, yes there's some non-Platonic desire but I wouldn't feel right about acting on it*, and no these girls are not the (sole) reason I'm not going out and meeting new people.

*In fact if she came onto me, I would probably resist, not just because it would be very unexpected and I'd be like "is this a trick?", but also because... dammit, Nuke is never going to let me live this one down... because I have never so much as kissed a girl (nor a guy, but I'm not interested in guys; also mom & dad don't count), and I wouldn't want my first kiss (or other comparable "firsts") to be someone I end up missing for the rest of my life.

satanism is more of a hobby. sure i like to draw pentagrams with fire and sacrifice small animals, but i do it mostly because its metal and because it offends a large group of people whom i dont like. i sure as hell dont believe in any of it, because thats just stupid.

anyway im rather pissed off at walmart because it wont ship me a pair of jeans that should fit me at a price that i can afford due to "shipping restrictions" that didnt exist last time i ordered pants from them. maybe i should send them that box of animal remains ive been saving up for just such an occasion. just to prove that you can ship to and from my neck of the woods for a sane price. pay one of your ****ing minimum wage peons to drive it over to the nearest post office and ship if first ****ing class and it would still cost less than fedex, and thats paying the peon for his hour and his gas.

post office reliable, just use a lot of penuts. fedex is like 80/20 but usually shows up undented. ups wont even ship here, and if they do its $50. china post, reliable every ****ing time and virtually free most of the time. can we not do better than ****ing china pls?

the church of satan barely classifies as a religion, its more of a ritualistic **** club with a do whatever the **** you want philosophy. not to say that there aren't actual satanists that do deify satan, sacrifice things, kill people, burn things, and do it seriously as an actual religion proper, because they do exist. either way its pretty metal.

finally got my stick and pedals back into working order after kitten chewed up the cables. completely replaced the cable on the pedals with a scrap usb cable i found in a junk box. this was because lizzy in here really cute display of destruction gnawed the cable off at the controller with no room for a quick and dirty splice. this required disassembly of the pedals but results in a much nicer repair. i even managed to reuse the rubber cable retainer by drilling out the old bits of wire and super gluing it to the 'new' cable, then fusing it with my reflow gun. this puts all the splices inside the controller. i just soldered it to the end of the old wires modular housing and covered it with heat shrink. despite having a crimper for those, i dont have any crimp pins for that housing type (an oversight which i intend to correct). then i had to figure out how to put the thing back together so that the mechanics remained functional. i may have overstressed the wiring and wouldn't be surprised if i didnt have to redo it again in the future.

joystick got a less pretty repair, since i didnt need to open the stick and i decided i didnt want to re assemble mechanical bits again. i used the usual twist, solder, heat shrink, and tape method. i didnt have cable diameter heat shrink, so additional tape was used instead. i also didnt bother to offset the splices sincr i didnt need to get them all to fit into a cable diameter bundle. maybe i will redo the splice in a better way if i have too much interference, or if it breaks again.

if lizzy the destroyer decides to chew on the wires again, she will enjoy the new pepper spray flavor that i applied to all my wiring, since getting electrocuted isnt enough to stop her.

I had the same experience while working on a friend's laptop to remove some malware.  I didn't really have any issues with Vista (or even Windows Me) despite what I had read, so when I saw 8 on the laptop I thought "well this won't really be so bad, will it?"  But  I spent more time trying to figure out where stuff was than I did actually working on it.  I never did find my flash drive folder; I finally had to unplug it and plug it back in to see the autoplay box and open the folder.

What already has me scratching my head is that sometimes, you can switch from the godawful Start screen to the normal desktop by just hitting the Windows key or hovering over the pop-up icon in the lower-left...but then at other times, the icon doesn't appear, and you have to use a Windows+D keystroke.  There's also this "charms" bar on the right-hand side that seems to not want to appear at random.  And that's ignoring the basic design issues of having two separate system settings menus (one for the Start screen, and then the normal Control Panel), and having essentially two separate versions of IE and the like in play at once, depending on whether it's an "app" or a normal program.  Hell, even the menu options in plain old Explorer are completely obfuscated.  No wonder no one wanted this OS.  All the more reason for me to pick up a 7 license or two for myself.

Over the past five years, I have been responsible for (if not the executioner of) the deaths of what likely amounts to several hundred or thousand small fish for acute lethality testing in my job.

This does not mean, however, that I cannot do my utmost to bring the single White Cloud Mountain Minnow in our aquarium that's taken ill with some affliction of its swimbladder back from the brink of death.  36 hours after initial symptoms, he's still alive... if barely.

I think he works in water quality control. I remember some old posts in WHIYL where he gave very good technical advice on how to store a fish and a sample of water that had been polluted with chlorine. Also, Environment Canada uses fathead minnows to assess the damage from contamination to fish reproductivity capacity in their tests. There must be an enforcement branch in that kind of work, 'cause people polluting don't really appreciate it when you come to take your samples.

Well, not quite.  The forum filter will not alter someone else's text if he actually quotes it and then deletes what he's not trying to quote.  If he quotes it and then copy-pastes (on his own screen) what someone was saying, it'll take the filtered content and make it asterisks (because he's copy-pasting asterisks).

There are days when I wish restricted firearms ownership wasn't such a royal pain in the ass.  I'd love to pick up a pistol for target shooting but it is just too much frickin hassle, even having the license already.

What's that shotgun chambered in?  It looks tiny.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: deathfun on August 07, 2014, 09:59:51 pm
Picking up the pistol was actually pretty easy (from my experience anyhow). Sign up with Silvercore, get the longterm ATT, buy, get the shorterm ATT, transport home, profit! I can't hit things worth a damn though

Shotgun is chambered for 12 gauge. Looks tiny because the gun itself is as long as a Mosin and getting the whole thing in there makes it look rather small

after having marginal success rendering a yellow rectangle on my raspberry pi's tft screen with sdl, i have decided to bring nukesim up to date for compiling on the pi. idk what i was on when i wrote this code. im finding all kinds of stupid things, my 3d maths dont know whether they are left handed or right handed. all my 3d geometry formats dont make any sense, its some kind of bastardized obj derivative. this thing doesnt even understand concepts such as polygons and vertexes. its all just vector arrays. the lua version has models, textures, materials, physics, input and even a freaking console, this looks like some kind of hello world project. **** it all. nuke all the things, then rewrite them and nuke them again.

not sure if i can render to that tft with opengl. i probibly have to use opengles or something that isnt two decades out of date. idk if i can deal with modern programming practices.

on another note, its not a good idea to write a quaternion library after drinking 7 beers. i could have sworn i wrote one before, but i couldn't find it in my dead projects archive.

Problem is you can't get general ATTs anymore, so shooting restricteds is limited to either your personal property where the gun is stored (if legal to do so), or licensed ranges that you can get an ATT to take it to. (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-11.6/page-6.html#docCont).  And frankly I'm too cheap to fork out a couple hundred bucks for a membership at the local indoor pistol range, and the outdoor range is a little far away to be regularly practical :p

Depends where you live.  In a city or town, forget it.  On an acreage?  Maybe.  Large chunk of land out in a county or rural district?  Likely not an issue, depending on your proximity to the former.  Discharge laws are [generally] at the discretion of local governments.

By general ATT are you referring to being able to transport *anywhere* or just "Whatever firearms this guy has that are registered to him can be transported to whatever range"

As I have the bit that's quoted issued by the CFO

It blanket covers any restricted firearm in my name to have the ability to transport to anywhere I can legally shoot it (IE range of which I don't have to be a member necessarily to transport it there)

EDIT: I should really buy some cheap acreage out in Squamish.

i rewrote one of the parsers for the c++ version of my game engine. it is easier to read and less crashy. i will do a mostly cut n paste job to write parsers for other data files tomorrow. i need to write better font handling code, and to concatenate a bunch of vector images into one file with character lookup indices. i already know how to do this but i need sleep first.

also remotely compiling on an arm based device over ssh ****ing sucks. i need to figure out how to cross compile on windows, without ****ing up windows with an oddball turn windows into linux toolchain. currently compiling requires running a batch file to copy all the code to the device over a network share, then getting on ssh and typing make.

Except that's not an eagle or a hawk.

It's an osprey.  Jointed wings. Mottled feathers.  Wrong beak for an eagle.  Also, eagles don't generally dive, they swoop.  Osprey are crazy submersible mofos (and one of my favourite birds without question).

Meaning thatyou can only get an ATT to ranges, or gunsmiths, or border crossings.  You can get one to take it out to Crown land, or a buddy's farm, or another place where you could legally shoot non-restricted.  That's what I mean about restricteds being a pain in the ass.

So that .50 BMG rifle...
Oh man she's a beaut. Such a beaut. You feel nothing on the shoulder, it's like a 12 Gauge coming back at you (less even). Your body however, moves a full foot back

The sound she makes? There's nothing quite like it. There's also nothing quite like standing behind and off to the side of it as you get *****slapped by the wind force that comes from the muzzle

I love it. She's the gal that costs a lot to go out with, but damn does she know how to have a good time. Helluva bang.

I feel sorry for my Mosin though... didn't even shoot it while I was there. I think it's looking at me with its one, red dot eye... wondering why I didn't hold her like I used to

She's my brick though, the one I go out with to enjoy life together forever. Always a good time with a Mosin, and you do get more action from her in the end.

Hey people I am searching the interwebs for this need of mine but I just can't find it I wonder if any of you guys know something that can be useful for me.

So my issue is, I have a ****ton of yellow "Stickynotes" in my Windows. Filled with information I really need to be recalled at my whim. It's very useful. But it's also just unmanageable and a tad unstructured. So my dream app (w7) would have like a one window solution with a tree structure that I could close or open at any given time. It should be extra mega simple (like sticky notes) and text only.

Is there anything like this out there? The only things I've encountered are way too complex and at the same time don't do what I want them to do...

Ah after 9 years I'm back being unemployed. The Company I worked for decided to focus more on mechanical design and dropped the visual part. So they fired me.
Oh well... let's see what other jobs there are.


On another note I have a chance to buy a 2001 Volvo V40 Automatic for a reasonable price.
It's quite tempting to switch my Ford Escort -96 to that. Then again, a car is never an investment.

But it was really really nice to drive and all... damnit...

Sorry to hear about that.  I hope you find a good job soon.

I've always been afraid of being stuck in a situation like that, but it has not happened to me yet.  I keep getting lucky.

In other news, I have just performed open-heart surgery on my iRiver H120 music player.  I've had this wee beasty since either 2001 or 2002; can't quite remember.  I've already replaced the battery successfully 3 times and the HDD once, but it was all simple replacing of the original for a near-exact replacement out of necessity (battery died, HDD crashed).  This was just... BECAUSE I CAN.   :p

1.8" HDD miniaturization over the last decade has been fantastic to put it lightly.  I can now fit a 120 GB HDD into the same space that a 20GB HDD barely fit 12-13 years ago.  600% improvement.  The interface has changed a bit, though.  My H120 was expecting a 40-pin low-insertion-force connection, not the ZIF ATA connector currently en vogue.  Fortunately, I was able to find an adapter for that.  Had to translate a bit of Korean, but you can use google for that.

Then had to find a firmware patch that was able to talk to this new HDD.  Rockbox to the rescue.  Had to read and re-read several manuals and spend some time pouring over 5-year-old forum posts by enthusiasts of various levels of competence, but it's working like a champ now!

It's been literally years since I took on a project like this.  I must say, that was a lot of fun!  My tinkering skill-set is very rusty from disuse, but it was all coming back by the end.

If you like stuff that syncs to your phone or what have you, there's Evernote or OneNote.

I'm trying EverNote since you recommended it, for I do want to step up the game a bit. A tad overwhelmed by its initial appearance of complexity, when compared with sticky notes, but I agree it's a great app. I am doing a lot more with it. Thanks!

Picked up another gun today. Technically my friend did and I paid for 3/4 of it which he'll eventually pay me back in either equivalent amounts of bullets or just straight up cash

T97 Bullpup
(http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/t97_main1-660x287.jpg)

It was priced a fair ways under retail so the deal couldn't be passed up. Also, gun shows are incredibly awesome and I'm glad it's cash based and I bought a .50 because otherwise I'd of walked out with a SxS shotgun, a stainless steal Mosin Nagant and a 92FS

I wish.  Our current governor got the state of California to ban all .50 BMG weapons while he was attorney general just because they could penetrate police body armor... despite zero evidence of them ever being used against police or that the police would in fact be shot at by a rifle chambered for .50 BMG, given how astoundingly often the criminal underworld in the United States makes use of military-grade anti-materiel rifles.

EDIT: Or any sort of non-automatic long rifle, given that those actually take you know, skill.  This is especially hilarious given that the much smaller and easier to use yet just as lethal .338 Lapua Magnum round is still perfectly legal, and as far as I am currently aware holds the record for longest successful sniper shot.

I don't need an expert. What I need is an extra pair of eyes and a reasonably competent brain behind them.

And yes but I wants it :(

Also: not people, bugs.



@Nuke: Yep, that looks like a problem with your rasterizer alright. I would try just drawing one triangle at a time, with screen coords you know the correct values for in advance.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: Nuke on August 21, 2014, 06:25:46 am
turns out my rasterizer failed horribly because of a 'convenience' call i wrote, which was meant as a go between between floating point z values and 20.12 fixed point values i was using in the z buffer. i thought it would be a good idea to clip the resulting value to a range that could be represented by a pixel in the z buffer. this call was used in my draw triangle function to pass the z depth to the integer based scan line function. needless to say the value was being shifted out of the neccisary range.

anyway rasterizer is still kind of messy but at least im on the right track. im blaming floating point precision here. the arm fpu isnt as predictable or precise as the one on a pc. i figure some fixed point math otta fix that up.

(http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc103/Emperor_of_Nihil/canvascopy_zpsebeea60f.png) (http://s213.photobucket.com/user/Emperor_of_Nihil/media/canvascopy_zpsebeea60f.png.html)
z buffer looks kinda wonky. its a straight 32 bit dump. didnt want to learn a format for 32 bit grayscale, so i just casted rgba to Uint32 and wrote it to a 32 bit targa. i want to say the far away stuff is red, close in stuff was in the alpha channel (i just added it on top of the rest in photoshop). idk, i wish i could analyse it better without shifting off 24 bits of accuracy.

i need a model that isnt all white to put the z buffer throught its paces. this pyro model was selected because i was to lazy to texture it and so instead colorized it. i saved it as obj with materials to export the material groups. then added parsing for the materials tags. this should allow me to build a crude material library and assign each one a different color. then have the renderer automatically change the colors as the object is being rendered.

It (still) looks like it's a problem with the rasterization itself, i.e. the for loop(s) you're using to iterate through the pixels of the triangles.

turns out i got my z buffer gradiation all wrong. so now i got a working z buffer. then i went and got rid of all the float math in the triangle draw loops. im using the basic algorithm, slice polygons in half so that you have two triangles with a flat edge, then draw each half. there is no float math in any of the loops. im still getting those nasty lines though. i also added some backface cull.

i finally managed to get good z buffer dumps in 32 bit grayscale (darker is closer). you can see that for the most part it is working. the only thing im scratching my head over are the nasty lines im getting. been all over those rasterization loops trying to eliminate rounding errors with fixed point math. but as you can see, it didnt work.

You know that what you've set yourself out to do a couple months down the road is something you're really looking forward to when you'd wish days went by faster and you get more and more irritated you can't do it sooner by the things that drove you to want to do it in the first place

In other words: Setting events that'll transpire a ways down the road suck when they're game changers. It'd be better if I can stop my brain from thinking of stuff that just irritates and annoys me about it. I have a schedule, I can't change that

It isn't looking well. But at least I finally have someone to share the misery with. Considering learning french an moving to Montreal. Folie à deux.

Thing is she was very happily married for 13 years. The destruction of that marriage is going to be a shock to everybody, and we're worried about if he is even going to survive it. The whole situation was completely unexpected for both of us.

As for that gal you fell in love with well, never go into something like that with problems. You will then develop a relationship of need rather than want and it'll most likely just not end well for either of you (going by your misery remark)

had that happen several times. she will string you along for a few months, get tired of it, and find someone new on the side while you are desperately trying to save up for a plane ticket. your other option would be to sell all your **** and go now before she has a chance to change her mind. of course then you risk getting shot by her husband.

Word of caution:  if both your financial/employment situations are as you described, I wouldn't go booking any flights or trips across the border to see each other as you could both be refused entry to each others' countries with your current financial status.  Immigration on both sides looks for financial ability to support oneself during the stay, significant ties to home country (and therefore reason to return on date stated), and intent to return home.

Pfffft morals
Those are things that keep you from being able to achieve your goals in life!
Least, the ones that are awesome and stuff. Like love
Can't be moral and be in love because the moral thing to do is not be in love
Reasoning? There's always someone better for that person! Don't be what could be considered "settling" and let that gal find someone even better!

Though I'm sort of wondering a bit... if she was happily married for that length of time...
What changed? Surely it isn't just because you two fell in love (or maybe it is and you're some pretty rad dude. God I feel dirty for saying rad and dude now). People don't generally go out there making connections like that if there isn't *something* going on that drove them to that end

So I suppose I'm wondering about the circumstances which led to all of this. Afterall, those are pretty important in deciding just what you ought to do next

Falling in love is one thing. Being in love is another. Both however are only made important by the circumstances

Example: Husband dies. Wife cries. Fellow comes in for comfort and jives (I'm trying to rhyme here shut up). She sees his eyes. They become paralyzed. Love is in the skies. Turns out it's all lies. He's into guys.

Okay, that's enough of that. Basically I'm making circumstance of vulnerability leading to connections which may seem true but aren't really because they're semi forced into that situation of connection.

Dumping a boyfriend is one thing, but if I knew that a girl had up and left a committed husband, with no abuse or anything involved, I'd be afraid that she'd get tired of me and find some hot guy elsewhere. Not a certainty (I phrased it rather strongly at first) but a significant possibility.

And it's possible that Nuke is right and people are just a bunch of flaming assholes who need a mushroom cloud up their collective asses.   :rolleyes:

Look.  If you go into something like a marriage expecting it to fail, then you have no one but yourself to blame when it does.  Marriage takes commitment, because it isn't going to be hearts and flowers start to finish.  There are times you are going to want to scream in frustration.  There are times you are going to want to be cruel and "get even."  There are times you probably are going to give in to those urges.  Times she will as well.  Each time, heck, each morning, you have to decide again that this relationship is more important than your pride.  You both put the other before yourselves.  Because together, you are stronger than you are separately.  Because you have someone to share both your victories and your defeats with.  Someone to lick your wounds before you go back out into the fight.

I've seen my grandparents in their old age.  They made each other coffee, pulled out a chair for each other, each of them was putting the other first, and it mattered.  Those kindnesses, little, insignificant though they might have seemed to an outsider, meant all the world to them.  It made them happy.  That's what I want.  That's what I'm willing to fight and sacrifice for.  Anyone who is willing to walk away just because, "Well, I'm just not feeling it anymore," shouldn't have gotten married in the first place, and has no business doing it again.  They'll just be putting yet another through the wringer to sacrifice to their own selfish need.  [/rant]

Look, that's what I ideally want too. But we're talking about a lifetime here. How can you possibly know you will want to spend a lifetime with someone? At the time you might both believe it is exactly what you want, but a lifetime is a very long time. People can change an incredible amount over a lifetime. Sometimes it's better for two people to separate than stay together and cause each other pain. Rather than be stronger together they can end up weighing each other down more than if they were apart.

Please

Reason why **** like that fails is because during the dating process people change themselves in a way to make the other person like them more. When they get married, they end up having to keep up that ruse for longer than they're able to

People don't change. At least not in any ways that matter

You'll know when you want to spend the rest of your life with someone when you meet that person who develops you just as much as you develop yourself. Where that person becomes you just as much as you are yourself, and if that person goes, half of you dies with them. Where you can both not be mad long enough because a smile on both of your faces when you look into one another's eyes is why you fell in love in the first place

It's possible to just exhaust the value of a relationship.

And it's possible that Nuke is right and people are just a bunch of flaming assholes who need a mushroom cloud up their collective asses.   :rolleyes:

Look.  If you go into something like a marriage expecting it to fail, then you have no one but yourself to blame when it does.  Marriage takes commitment, because it isn't going to be hearts and flowers start to finish.  There are times you are going to want to scream in frustration.  There are times you are going to want to be cruel and "get even."  There are times you probably are going to give in to those urges.  Times she will as well.  Each time, heck, each morning, you have to decide again that this relationship is more important than your pride.  You both put the other before yourselves.  Because together, you are stronger than you are separately.  Because you have someone to share both your victories and your defeats with.  Someone to lick your wounds before you go back out into the fight.

I've seen my grandparents in their old age.  They made each other coffee, pulled out a chair for each other, each of them was putting the other first, and it mattered.  Those kindnesses, little, insignificant though they might have seemed to an outsider, meant all the world to them.  It made them happy.  That's what I want.  That's what I'm willing to fight and sacrifice for.  Anyone who is willing to walk away just because, "Well, I'm just not feeling it anymore," shouldn't have gotten married in the first place, and has no business doing it again.  They'll just be putting yet another through the wringer to sacrifice to their own selfish need.  [/rant]

*Applause  :yes:

You're all nuts. Everyone is different, nobody can predict how a relationship will go. If you're in love, just do it and don't think so gosh darn hard about it! I think you guys worry about relationships more than you ever need to.

Actually, if you base your prediction off of the precedence set by the two individuals and how they react to certain situations, yes you can predict how a relationship will go

You just can't predict how something will go based on the precedence set by *other individuals* tis all



And people worry because it's a big deal for them. If something is a big deal, you can't just let it go with the flow. You'll instinctively want to be able to control it in some fashion

I'm perpetually amused by marriage/long-term-relationship-related advice coming from young people who are not in either.  It's something akin to taking advice on what car to buy from a person who's never even seen one.  Relationship advice and legal advice on the Internet come with the same caveat:  you get what you pay for.

Shoddy example. By saying "never seen one" in your analogy implies that we've never seen a long term relationship :P

I also disagree that advice that comes from people who have never personally experienced makes that advice crap. A lot of what people learn is by observing and watching other people, noticing their quirks, listening to how they do what they do. From that, you gain advice to pass on to other people

Legal advice though, well that's something different entirely. You're no longer dealing with humans. You're dealing with lawyers! Therefore human advice is useless because human

the longest term relationship i ever had was 100% sexual in nature. it went on about 4 years with ons and ofs now and again. i can still get in her pants if i happen to be in the same state at the time (last i heard shes in texas and im not going to texas). its when i try to do things the 'normal' way that i fail. when i date and fall in love, the girl isnt interested/gets raped/strings me along/is moving/is in another state/is crazy/is a nazi/is a bible thumper/is a druggie/doesnt like cats. something always goes wrong. so i stick to the formula that works for me, boning mature sex addicted fat women.

Everyone has inherent biases when it comes to opinion.  When it comes to opinion about relationships and you want a successful one, you're better off seeking advice from people whose inherent biases stem from successful ones.

If, on the other hand, you want dysfunctional or sexual relationships only, then it appears from his own statements that Nuke is your guy :p

Totally. He's got that **** down pat!

But you can at least agree that the advice is here has quite the range of opinions! From cynical to lighthearted to get ****ed by hookers
Asking only successful people about relationships doesn't give you a good devil's advocate. They're too happy. I hate it.

Advice isn't always the person giving its opinion though. I don't believe in happy endings, but that doesn't stop me from saying that you're going to make it if you believe in whatever and work through it with your partner and then give a relevant example. It's advice, but not one that comes from my own bias. That was my point at any rate in the half serious half joking method of delivering it

Except I might need longer wires for the rear speakers.  And I can't just wall mount them with a nail, which I find to be a pretty glaring and stupid design flaw.

my stereo system is two 1970s full range speakers and a chinese made class d stereo amplifier, no frills. it has 3 knobs and a switch (i love knobs). which is all a good amp needs. i can double it up if i want to go quadrophonic. ive always hated 5.1 surround, its needlessly complicated to instal and doesn't sound to great either.

Moral crisis.

Read file on non registered sex offender. In short a youth (under 20) convicted of theft. Past offenses list rape of an under 16 year old.

I feel the need to disseminate this fact to those on his wing.

I just need to convince myself this is worth the risk to my employment.

It sounds like you're saying you want to just spread it around. Why do that?

If you're worried that he's not registered when he should be, talk to someone appropriate about it. Keep in mind this could easily be an admin error in the records, and the rape might be the error not the unregistered. Unless he's walking out of there in the very near future, you've got plenty of time to think about this.

Question: Can youth be put on a sex offenders list? Usually I'm use to people being tried as an adult after they turn eighteen but it seems like that age is a little different over the ocean.
My question generally stems from this:
"As a general rule, the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) protects the privacy of young persons who are accused or found guilty of a crime by keeping their identity and other personal information confidential. The protection of privacy is achieved by prohibiting the publication of information that would identify a young person’s involvement in the criminal justice system and by restricting access to their youth records."

weeellll, queen victoria didn't actually wield much meaningful power (britain's monarchy had been constitutional for some time before that), and apart from that the various cultural dioramas we generally use to depict 'the past' mostly seem to have an element of female disempowerment; the victorian era doesn't seem exceptional in that regard

the notion that women have always been powerless is bull****. men might be good with physical force, but women are skilled with other forms of power. manipulation for example. they can be persuasive too, usually because they have boobs. they are kind of like the bene geserit from dune. they might be all ladylike and proper, but **** with them and they will kill you. i couldnt figure out how to tie in a picture of a kitten for this one, sorry. heres a pictue of lizzy being flat instead:

after final setup of speakers complete, i have concluded that they are not worth the price.  certainly not noticeably better than the old ones, except in total volume.  also lacks in the small things which i would expect out of something at this price range.  included wire is crap.  clips instead of post connectors.  the control console is unnecessarily enormous.  no way to adjust tilt of satellites.   the best upgrade i got with this is the remote control.

i wonder if a new sound card would go well with them.  my x-fi xtreme music is showing its age, especially on the driver side of things.  of course, unless creative has pulled an about face with their driver quality, it's not likely to be much better for a new card.  anyone bought or looked into sound cards recently?

this is the second such encounter with a member of the opposite sex in as many weeks. the other crazy was the sister of the crazy person next door. we discussed serial killers, cats, and how good this ****hole of a town is and how awesome the asshole population was. i wonder if she knew someone got shot in this building 2 years ago. then she started talking a bunch of bible thumper crap and lost my interest. hopefully the one i ran into today yields some sex.

was having a good day.  woke up on time.  enjoyed one of my new albums start to finish, then played my bass, then off to the beach for a pretty decent skim session.  had a delicious sub for lunch and relaxed on the couch watching a movie.  and that's where it went to hell.  because apparently anything the least bit romantic or emotional sets me off again.  i thought i was settled in for just dwelling sadness and regret, but i guess i'm not done with crushing despair just yet.
 :(

You're lucky
My brain does thinks of the people who were close to me (who no longer are) by associating pretty well everything is existence to a related thought making me unable to enjoy anything completely. An example? Started playing a song on piano, Beethoven's 7th Symphony, Allegro. My brain clicked, I started to get run over by memories because it was in a movie I watched once a while ago and had almost forgot about of which I had also watched with someone. I can't actually touch my piano without my brain associating with someone (which isn't unhelpful, makes playing more emotional and better)

Or most games because sometimes I was in skype while playing them, not necessarily with the person. Or just eating a damned burger!
Basically, normal life had involved these people everyday to the point where they were just as part of me as I was, then they were gone because of me and so I feel what I made myself lose all the time. Yay perpetual misery for eternity yaaaay

That was entirely not helpful, but I envy you only having a limited set of triggers. Making romantic things less romantic is fairly easy.

Have you sought out any professional help?  Forcibly shoving acquaintances away from you seems like the very worst way to manage emotional issues.

It's not like I want to, it just ends up that way because I'm a miserable person. Takes its toll on people after a while, specially when they're trying to help you. What doesn't start as a burden eventually becomes one. This is why I don't talk about too personal of stuff with my shooting friends and limit actual deep talks with other people to once every long while spread out over more than one person.

Least this way it doesn't affect people, which is good. As for professionals, yes, and they're none too helpful (partly because of me not trusting them, partly because they're none too helpful)

Wasn't always like this. Time just slowly carved me into it. I just don't know why, it's not like I've lived a bad life overall. I've theories though which make sense and fit with the timeline

There certainly is a basic level of trust that it helps to bring into things, but the other thing to keep in mind is that different doctors/therapists may work better than others for you.  It can take a few tries to find someone who works well with you and is able to help you out, but the results can be really worth it.

My previous shrink sucked. I tried to talk to him about my girl problems and he interpreted it as "I'm mad at them" when it was really "I want to repair those relationships"... maybe I wasn't explicit enough. Maybe he interrupted me. Idr.

Maybe at a subconscious level you actually are mad at them, but since you're convinced consciously that you're just trying to repair it you can't accept the diagnosis

As for a few tries Mong, I've been to a few over the years and all of them were just eh
Then there's a matter of money I don't have paying for treatment that doesn't work/will take a few hefty payments just to figure out who does

And since I believe there's a high chance for failure, I'm biased towards that despite my being self aware of the fact I'm biased towards that

After that the Company has the possibility to hire me as a full timer and looks like they might have such intentions.

What kind of idiot puts up photos of the party they attended when they were on sick leave on Facebook, which their boss can then see?

I don't think security tech illiteracy can really be thought of as a wtf-moment anymore.  Pragmatically, security-conscious people are aware that you should be extremely careful what sort of information you store on line.  In principle, however, these celebrities should be able to store whatever personal information they please in the Cloud knowing that it will be deleted when they delete it (Apple: "What an amusing joke.  Ha ha. No, you're serious?  Forget it, mine now suckers!") and knowing if should be protected as private information, not exposed by some jackass script-kiddies with too much time and an inherent disrespect for other people.

Also, Piers Morgan got lambasted as a victim-blamer for posting more or less your exact statement to twitter, so beware of mob.

Privacy means very these days, specially if you're someone who's known to the world. People look for dirt to smudge famous people with, even back before internet existed. I find it's the job of these celebrities to ensure that if dirt exists, that you can't find it unless in a case of breaking and entering

It's kind of like storing your bank details in one of those storage lockers you can hire. You have no idea who has access to it.

Now, maybe they didn't know they had uploaded the stuff to the cloud, maybe the system auto-uploads or something and in that case a certain amount of head-desking is removed, however, if they chose to upload that kind of thing to the cloud, it was an idiotic thing to do.

Wired reports (http://www.wired.com/2014/09/eppb-icloud/) that the security breach may have been thieves downloding device backups rather than individual files.  That's a lot harder to blame someone for.

Indeed. Apple are denying it but it's a proven fact that Apple's two factor authentication doesn't actually protect your photos from being downloaded as a backup (http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29045789).

I think it's just bad faith to point fingers at apple for this. It's a hard problem to figure out how precisely one should harmonize convenience with safety. I think Gruber was spot on here:
http://daringfireball.net/2014/09/security_tradeoffs

Quote
Don’t trust Apple “with any of your data” isn’t just wrong because it’s a hyperbolic overreaction, it’s wrong because it’s potentially dangerous. What has been mostly overlooked in the reaction to this photo leak scandal, and completely lost in Auerbach’s argument, is that backups are a form of security — in the same sense that life insurance is a form of security for your children and spouse.

Over the years I’ve received numerous emails from past and former Genius Bar support staff, telling similar stories of heartbreak. Customer comes in, their iPhone completely broken, or lost, or stolen, and they had precious photos and videos on it. The birth of a child. The last vacation they ever took with a beloved spouse who has since passed away. Did they ever back up their iPhone to a Mac or PC with iTunes? No. In many cases they don’t even know what “iTunes on a PC” even means. Or maybe they connected the iPhone to iTunes once, the day they bought it and needed to activate it, and then never again.

This happened to thousands of people. It’s why Apple made cloud-based backups one of the fundamental pillars of iCloud. It still happens, today, to people who haven’t signed up for iCloud and enabled iCloud backups. It’s heartbreaking in most cases, and downright devastating in some. I’ve heard from Genius Bar staffers who eventually left the job because of the stress of dealing with customers suffering data loss. Once it is determined that the photos and videos are irretrievable from the device and have never been backed up, the job of the Genius staffer turns from technician to grief counselor. Bereavement is not too strong a word.

iCloud backups have not eliminated this problem, but they have made it far less common. This is, like almost everything in tech, a trade-off:

- Your data is far safer from irretrievable loss if it is synced/backed up, regularly, to a cloud-based service.

- Your data is more at risk of being stolen if it is synced/backed up, regularly, to a cloud-based service.

Ideally, the companies that provide such services minimize the risk of your account being hijacked while maximizing the simplicity and ease of setting it up and using it. But clearly these two goals are in conflict. There’s no way around the fact that the proper balance is somewhere in between maximal security and minimal complexity.

(a bit funny to read how first world problems go, but still he has a point)

Earlier today I got a call from a job I interviewed for, asking when I could start so that they could sort a starting date.
Then I went to a variety show where my best friend was singing.

Here's where the bitter-sweet comes in. A girl I really like was there, and I've been getting to knowledge her a little over the summer. Due to a few things we've only been able to meet up a few times over the summer, an being the coward I am, never directly told her that I liked her.
Tonight I found out that she's going to Bradford for Uni tomorrow.

Again, I let her go without saying that I like her, but how happy I am that she got into uni.

If you really like her, give her a call and see if you can talk before she leaves.

Yes, not keeping someone from higher education totally makes you that :P
I wouldn't fret over liking someone and then seeing them bring their lives to where they want to be despite it not being with you. Afterall, it'd be difficult for them to include you in the plans they've already made on such short notice.

Accept it, move on. There is no risk to take here that'll bring you good fortune or charm

To accept this is a choice unto itself, and it makes you someone into someone who doesn't just think about what he wants.

So my previous situation is resolving in many ways, both expected and very unexpected.

The husband learned everything and his initial reaction was typical - but, after a week or so of talking and simple waiting, he's actually...understanding?

In summary, the divorce is happening, and there's essentially no ill feelings manifesting. He's already flirting with other girls, my girl and him are still close friends, he's volunteering to take over all of the debt they shared if she keeps her car payments and the cats. He blames himself for everything, but they both agree that their marriage wasn't as special as what her and I seem to have (the most surprising thing for all of us that he understands), and that they were never meant to marry in the first place.

From my perspective, it seems like that marriage was the reason people say to never marry your best friend. It was functional and everything, but it wasn't really - I don't know what to call it. There wasn't a spark?

Anyway, that's my interpretation of what happened. The bottom line is that he is accepting of it and the marriage is not the major issue. The major issue now is the border, and I simply have no idea how we're going to deal with that. Neither of us are skilled workers (unless her cosmetology schooling counts, the certificate of which she will have to renew, a process taking months), and are definitely not financially well off. I don't think they will let her cross even if we marry, because we are both starting off with a couple of thousand dollars.

The truth is, I don't care how crazy everything is. Everything that's happened since I've met her is a straight improvement over my entire life before hand. I'm not giving up on this until it kills me, which both of us have accepted is a very real, practical possibility, if some imaginary line is keeping us from living happily ever after.

Going to call the immigration office today and hope for some answers. Doubtful but hopeful.

I feel like we're applying for a ****ing space program or something. I just to get across the damn imaginary line.

How to properly solve that Shivatonnic load-o-beam:

Devs should be isolate from "The gaming press".

The "gaming press" and their disgusting "gamer culture" is annihilated at the atomic level.

All branches of journalism should have a universal standard for quality. Not attempting to excel makes us less than human.

While Harper's position on this issue is unadulterated idiocy, to be fair, snow in Calgary in early September is not exactly abnormal.  It's Calgary.  Their weather is charitably described as 'bat**** nuts' in the best of years.  For every snowfall in September, they get a week of 20°C in January, for Pete's sake.

Hell, my home town in extreme southern BC (like 10 km from the US border) has had snowfalls in every month of the year.

The problem is that people view Twitter as a social media tool.  It is not.  It is an information broadcasting and coordination platform.  Twitter is at its best when use to broadcast information links, sorted by particular subject using hashtags.  It's at its worst when people try to debate on it, or worse, use it to give updates on how their day is going.

I use it to follow developments in law and politics, mostly, and it's great for that.

Aardwolf's girl problems update!

Mediator guy said neither he nor I can make someone change their decision. I don't think he means "can"... that sounds like an ethical objection. And I said that to him, and asked him to explain what the problem was. And then I said some more stuff. And some more. And then I thought to myself "I should shut up, the more I say the more obsessed I sound"... and then I said that to him. And then I actually did shut up.

But he's still silent, even though it looks like he's been online quite a bit recently... Ah well. I just have to wait. And if I absolutely can't resist the urge to prod him for a hastier response, I need to stick with things like saying *prod*, not multi-paragraph attempts to guess what the problem is and convince him that it's not really a problem.

Le sigh.

Do I look worried?
Already had my gun taken away once because of some arbitrary thing that probably got taken out of context. Got it back, cleared that up

Also had a call from the cops about a remark about my telling someone how to kill a goldfish. Internet postings are a farce. I would know. I make quite a few of them, and some have even resulted in personal dealings with the police

As for the year I can't get back, honestly meh. It's not like I've spent the last twenty two years doing much of anything important, otherwise I'd be in school or something, maybe be a little less miserable or even in a relationship. Point being, doesn't matter where the venue takes place, the performers are all the same


I am totally not the person to give life advice, but ironically enough I've helped quite a few people through some tough times over the years. Hasn't made me any happier. Helping people is either self serving or pointless for the helper.

To make that statement relevant, your middle man has nothing to gain from any of this. Give him incentive to want to help, something that'll pique his selfishness. People don't help people just because. They help because it makes them feel good about themselves, they get off on it ie self serving. I helped because maybe I'd find some sort of truth in what I say for myself, but ultimately only one person ever found truth in what I had to say

@Mongoose (and potentially others):

So, I'ma tell you what I told this mediator guy (although with him I held back a little more):

You seem to underestimate the severity of the problem. This is not some schoolboy crush. This is a deep, psychological wound that needs mending. I am seeing a psychiatrist; meanwhile, stop with the armchair psychiatry. What you are telling me is not new advice, nor is it something I haven't tried already. This is not something I can just will myself to be over, nor is it something distraction will save me from. Distraction is at best a temporary solution; I will eventually come back to this. I know from experience.

What will make this better is actually being able to talk about what happened with one of the people involved, and to retain them as someone I can at least occasionally talk with.



On a less grim note (nitpicking is fun, hooray for nitpicking!)...

It's not "this single person", really it's "any of these six people, or heck maybe even that other girl they brought in to intercede and who I hated for it". Yes, each one is a different person with a different story, but ... Well, I don't know. I certainly hope it's "any" and not "all" :blah:

No, this will make you feel better, unless it doesn't go how you want or how you hope, and then it'll just be another wound and you should know this.

She has made a decision.  You need to respect that.  If you don't, that's a very dangerous path and you could very quickly end up in real legal trouble.

Yes, there is obviously a wound that needs mending, but as I'm sure the professional helping you out has told you, that mending needs to happen on your own end.  You cannot control how another person acts towards you, or even if they want anything to do with you.  However, what you can control on your end are the lessons you take away from past events, and how you move forward.  I'm glad that you're getting help, and I wish you the best with it.

Yes and no. "Personal responsibility" is all well and good, but... well, let's just say sometimes it's easier to exert pressure on outside actors than it is to make changes to ourselves.

[tangent]
I am reminded of some of the recent political maneuverings by Putin regarding the USA and the Snowden leaks... some people tried to claim it was a case of "the pot calling the kettle black", but that doesn't change the fact that the kettle is black. Although the general sentiment in the USA seems to be pro-Snowden, anti-surveillance, the executive and the legislature simply doesn't seem to give a damn what the people think... whereas outside pressure might actually have a chance to work.
[/tangent]



Contrary to what you seem to expect, my psychiatrist approves of the steps I've been taking. This is not because he is incompetent or unethical, nor is it because he has not been given a proper impression of the situation. Not only are none of these propositions the reasons for his approval, but furthermore none of them are true. Rather, he recognizes that succeeding at the goal I've set for myself would be good for me; that attempting it is not particularly harmful to others, nor "enabling" of harm to myself; that I've demonstrated a dedication to pursuing this endeavor in as ethical a manner as possible, and recognized ethical paradoxes when "as ethical a manner as possible" hasn't been trivial to determine.





Silly aside: something that contributed to the severity of this problem, I think, is being asked at a résumé-building workshop, to set goals for what I wanted to do with my life. Most people think of stupid things like "I want to be CEO of my own company" or "I want to retire to a beach home in Tahiti"... but me? No, maybe it was because I was in a down mood at the time, but I put down the things that actually matter in the world: first "world peace", then "government and corporate transparency and accountability"... and then finally something for myself, "having my female friends from high school back". And with the addition of "getting this damned Character/Physics Happy Fun Time system to finally work",  that's basically been my birthday and xmas wishlist for the past 4 years, too.

Point is, sentiments to the effect of:

Résumé-building workshop:              What do you want?
Me, today:Never ask that question.

Just what about that aside was "silly", you ask? The fact that I spent this much time writing it up just because of a tiny exchange of dialog I was reminded of from a decade-old space-opera TV series I never even watched.  :blah:




Edit: Apparently Scotty said something too, which I missed. IIRC I've made a refutation of those points in the past (too tired and cba to go dig it up though). If you think you can convince me how my refutation was wrong, be my guest, but there's no sense repeating an argument which AFAIAC has already been refuted.

@all: I was comfortable sharing my little "I said some stupid stuff to mediator guy, and now I may have wrecked my chances; pity me in my failure" story, but maybe I should've kept my explanatory replies to PM. At this point I'm once again inclined to just not tell you guys anything.

I don't think you'll be able to get high off it if it's actually doing its job of managing chronic pain unless you take enough that your doctor/pharmacist starts wondering why the prescription isn't lasting as long as it should.

Source: Dad has ongoing prescriptions for Vicodin and Percocet for pain management for a double spinal fusion surgery he never really recovered from.  The drugs make the pain barely tolerable enough for him to function, hence he has to take them at work because he can't do his job without them.

my gpu fan is being a dick. its been doing weird things for a long time now. but now its starting to interfere with my usual gaming activities, rather than being its typical loud annoying self. last couple of days mechwarrior online was doing the hard crash, taking down the whole system to a power down and reboot. at this point i decided that ethnic cleansing of the dust bunny population was in order. i picked out every fan grill in the system, blew out the video card heatsink like it was an 8 bit cartridge, and removed the fan for inspection. go figure the bearing is completely shot.

why computer fan bearings are damn near impossible to replace is beyond me (i actually have a lot of extra bearings laying around) and i dont know why they use such low quality bearings in the first place. anyway while i was in there i pulled the part number off of the fan and quickly found replacements for $12, a $12 fan does not normally die this fast, sure i would expect it from a 99 cent chinese fan, but not a $12 fan made by coolermaster. of course i am broke at the moment. visions of me using a hot glue gun and attaching a fan of ridiculous size to the heatsink shroud comes to mind (though this will likely get in the way of the wifi card).

it is somewhat convenient that this comes 3 weeks before i start my next build. its like the machine knows its about to be replaced in a few weeks and is currently seeking revenge. but it also means 3 weeks without performance gaming which sucks.

Oh and "romantic sunset pictures" on instagram is totally code for "we're having sex" :P

Yes, I'm not supposed to make sarcastic remarks like that as it probably just fuels your thoughts and the likes, but the more you think about it, the more it's going to be a problem for you.

i have failed to redneck my gpu into a functional device. after rummaging through my junk i found a cpu cooler from back when computers were space heaters, on it was a rather powerful fan that had the airflow to have worked. it was a 3 pin fan, and i figure the best thing would be to run it full blast (and the fact that im out of 3 pin connectors on my mobo), so i built an adapter to connected to the 12v line. everything worked fine, at least until i realized that the fan was way too small and would get in the way of the pcie1x network card. i cant move the card because its a reduced sized micro atx board and only has one 1x slot. also it turns out that my gpu fan is actually a 110mm fan, and so my 85mm fan just wouldnt cut it. damn, looks like im stuck playing ancient games for a few weeks. i cant use the integrated either because i dont have any hdmi cables (i was cheap and up to my eyeballs in dvi cables) because the mobo lacks a dvi port. my only other option is to try to cram in the gargantuan gtx 220 from my older rig into a mini tower.

(the following is a duplicate of something I posted to my FB wall)



Science question for y'all...

What happens if you let a microwave run with nothing in it?

Even though the microwave's frame is a Faraday cage which will keep the microwaves from escaping, the energy has to go somewhere, right? So in theory the increase in heat in the system will be the same regardless of whether the magnetron has any load. Does it self-regulate somehow?

Could leaving a microwave on with nothing in it be as much of a fire danger as, say, microwaving a mason jar full of grass clippings?

Would it be possible to make a microwave that "recycles" the microwaves that don't hit anything, instead of letting as much of it get turned into waste heat?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: z64555 on September 19, 2014, 02:14:17 pm
Nah, there's still a load in there, the water vapor in the air.

Also, what damages the magnetron is microwaves that bounce back into it. The metal cavity of the microwave is designed *just* right so that the microwaves will bounce evenly all around the walls, thereby behaving similar to a black body cavity and will increase the temperature of the case.There's a thermostat attached to the waveguide that controls how long the magnetron is activated to prevent overheating, it also doubles as a safety device once the case starts to get too hot (well, in theory at least).
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Lorric/Retsof get Nuked!
Post by: Aardwolf on September 19, 2014, 04:17:51 pm
Ah right, I suppose liquid and gaseous water indeed ought to react the same way to microwave radiation.

Damage to the magnetron? I hadn't even considered that. I was just thinking "something catches fire".

The "mason jar full of grass clippings" is a personal anecdote from when I was a kid, an event which thankfully didn't cause a house fire, but sure made a stink. I'm pretty sure what happened is the metal rim of the mason jar created sparks which ignited the dry grass. Of course, a mason jar is probably actually safer than if the grass were loose in the microwave , since (unless it shatters) it's going to choke the fire with its own CO2. I wonder, how airtight is a microwave? They usually have fans in them, so presumably the answer is "not airtight at all".

What about my "recycling the microwaves" idea? Using photoelectrics (does it count as photoelectric if the photons are microwaves?), either to actually recover some of the wasted energy, or just to detect how much is going to waste, perhaps using that information to shut off the magnetron, or to somehow intelligently change how the microwaves it emits are distributed?

when i was a kid i liked to put snowglobes in the microwave. ive turned many a trinket into a bomb that way. scare the **** out of my sister.

microwaves are still em radiation which means its all photons. you can charge up glow in the dark plastic items in the microwave. i dont think you can recycle microwaves, the easiest solution is to not run the microwave while empty. they say microwaves are more energy efficient than electric ranges, though i think microwave food is garbage.

did you know: you can smelt metal in a microwave.

Since putting that into practice, I'm no longer allowed within 1000 yards of a farm or livery.

Have you looked at the last page of the thread? There's really nothing that requires any technical expertise whatsoever. And as I said last time you raised this point, I think people are severely overestimating how technical the help I was looking for would've been. Yes, experts can tell me about existing solutions, but I was trying to "roll my own", and as such what I needed was not expertise, so much as a second set of eyes and a second brain, to be inventive and assist with general problem-solving.

And I'm not even griping about the lack of help here, I'm griping about the fact that I posted two progress videos over two and a half months ago, and nobody said anything.

in my recent dying video card enforced exile into the realm of retro gaming, i have come to the conclusion that david barben is a masochistic asshole.

after playing frontier first encounters for 4 days, i have only managed to make 1500 bucks. most of which went to repairing my ****ing ship and buying missiles. its not the ****ing newtonian physics, its that it makes you fight tooth and nail to earn a scrap of money and then takes it away from you because bull****. if you haul any cargo at all, you get attacked by hordes of pirates every time. they will have weapons that cost more than your entire net worth. they will have a full complement of missiles, and they have ecm too so your missiles are worthless. then the ship they start you with has no cargo capacity at all. so unlike in elite where you can do the lave-diso run until you can afford a beam laser, fuel scoops, and ecm and then move into hostile systems and be a pirate, the stating system is already so hostile that its impossible to get anywhere. and where are the bounties for killing pirates? you made a fortune on those in elite, but you dont get a one. then on top of that you got ship maintenance, and everything can break, and fines for stupid ****. then i recently got stranded in a system (which i had never been to before) because the only spaceport decided i owe them a 4000 credit fine and wouldn't let me land, so i couldn't by fuel to jump to a new system. what kind of asshole makes a game like this?

Isn't the i7 a bit of overkill, unless you need the hyperthreading?  I've heard rumors that people use computers for things other than gaming, but for gaming i think you might get better overall performance if you go to an i5-4690K and put the $65 savings toward the graphics card (GTX760, Radeon R9 270X or 280, etc.)

once you've had 8 threads there is no going back. when you compile things or transcode things, you really start to appreciate it. gaming is only a fraction of what i do with my rig. that cpu was picked because its a current gen i7 that only uses 65w. its all about low footprint/heat/noise/cost.

actually i might move up to the 4790, its only $5 more and 3.6ghz instead of 3.2ghz. but now i need another 50w from my psu.

Not sure I'd trust that particular PSU regardless. I've had really good luck with the Antec VP-450 for right around the same price, that'll give you the extra 50 watts and a very well-reviewed PSU for about the same cost.

i found a 450 with a better rating and similar price. im convinced most of the problems people have with psus are due to not accounting for capacitor aging. an old supply might only deliver 65-75% of its rated capacity because capacitors change value over time. changing my cpu to the 4790 will make my peak power requirements around 290w. an aged 450w supply will be able to do 292.5w. though 2.5w is a little close for comfort i think.

a lot of people like to just get a honking supply that is several times what their system really needs and call it a day, unfortunately thats not in my budget and have to use maths.

I build computers for a living and though to post this here:
Nuke - for your build -
use this RAM instead and save yourself $9 (promo code). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428&nm_mc=EMC-EXPRESS092714&cm_mmc=EMC-EXPRESS092714-_-EMC-092714-Index-_-DesktopMemory-_-20231428-L01D

also, your PSU you have listed is out of stock, and for about $7 more (after MIR) you can get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182299

And for the same price of your 128GB Samsung SSD, you can get double the capacity (I have this SSD, very nice): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148820

used to be a system builder as well way back in 2003, i built many mediocre p4/cele rigs and a few servers.

nice catch on the ram. will use that.

ssd is a tad slower, but i really should look around for a better one. i didnt spend too much time on it. i already own a 500gb samsung which i will use for files, but i want a separate drive for the os as well. also thinking about splurging and getting the 250 gig evo, which is only like 30$ more (though your ssd has a better write speed). still shopping around here.

psu is still up in the air. since i decided to move up my cpu that supply no longer allows for full capacitor aging. right now its between a noname 450w with a good rating and an antec 450 with a horrible rating. also looking at 500w units.

5 days till monies and counting. i expect stock and sales to change. the price has fluctuated a lot since i slapped it together.

Mmm... Not sure how long that RAM promo code will work for but it probably won't be 5 days - might want to order it now and get the rest of the system later (if you have the money now, that is).

As for the power supply, not sure if you get the newegg promo emails, but just saw this in my inbox. It's a bit more expensive but its a quality supply.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153198&nm_mc=EMC-EXPRESS092714&cm_mmc=EMC-EXPRESS092714-_-EMC-092714-Index-_-PowerSupplies-_-17153198-L04C

Use promo code EMCPAHC233 to get $10 off, and with a mail in rebate its $70. that's a pretty darn good deal for a 750 watt gold rated modular power supply. I would go for it if you can afford the extra $20-40 ish dollars

If not, I know the Corsair CS450 (not bronze rated, the gold rated) sometimes gets a nice Mail in Rebate that makes the final price around $35.00. It's not right now, but it may soon.

Hope this helps.

unfortunately my computer building comes and goes with my states public issue of surplus oil revenue. ive actually been watching the price fluctuate up and down. there will be a few last minute tweaks im sure. i think the only things set in stone are the case and mobo, cpu/gpu is probibly not going to change either unless its out of stock or something.

the power supply is a thing in still not happy about. i dont want to use one of those massive gaming power supplies, i dont think my case has room for it (it needs to be < 180mm in depth). ive never been happy with modular cabling either. it always seems like i need to plug in every cable because there is always something that doesn't reach or has a legacy connector. il just lash the massive bundle of wirey goodness to something with a zip tie and call it a day (or if i get desperate start clipping things and heat shrinking the ends).

I just got my Acer Aspire V5-573G laptop which I ordered a couple weeks back for 808€.
•Intel i5-4210U
•Nvidia GTX 850M / 4 GB GDDR3
•12 GB RAM, 1 TB HD with 8 GB cache

The screen is great and overall my first impression of it is really positive so far.
Gaming wise it's more than adequate, running BF4 and Tera in high specs without any major problems - but dropping the qualities to medium helps to keep things fluid in almost all situations.

I returned a package to a seller on Amazon this morning, but when I got home at the end of the day, I saw that the address I had used (i.e. the one that was on the return label generated by Amazon) was different to that of the sender's address on the original package.

If I have sent it to the wrong address, since I've used registered post (and therefore it has my address on it too, as the sender) it should be returned to me eventually if it isn't delivered successfully, right? Even though it's to an overseas location (Japan)? It's my first time sending a package overseas like this so I'm not sure how it works...

i just had a bad experience with os.execute() see i was working on a bunch of bugs in my data graphing script that collects data from an imu connected to an arduino, and then graphs it out in an opengl canvas. its one of those linear algebra problems that ive long since figured out that there is no getting my head around it, i just have to try every possible combination of maths till it works. needless to say i got tired of tabbing through my lua files so that i could run the main wlua file (which is needed for gui applications). so in the file i was working on i scrolled down to the bottom and added this code:

Code: [Select]
if not runthings then
runthings = true
os.execute ("imu")
end

i hit that run button hoping that my script file (which contains nothing but my graphing "class") will run, then get to that thing at the bottom and launch the actual app so i can remove two mouse clicks from my work flow. it seems obvious now that this doesnt work. that damn runthings variable gets lost somewhere (right at the end of the file when it launches a new interpreter instance), and i end up getting a runaway loop of my lua script launching new instances of itself. ive *****ed about lua's memory hoggyness before, and it didnt take long for the system to eat every scrap of system memory available. i was scrambling trying to kill them before the machine locked up, i managed to force a reboot. this is a sure sign that ive had enough programming for one day, time for sleep actual (though knowing me im going to reboot my system 50 times trying to pass the runthings variable to the new instance). im actually convinced that most viruses during the 90s where the hacker's failed attempts at programming something useful.

freshly oiled laptop fan no longer makes grinding noises and i don't have to beat the **** out of the thing to get it to post.  pain in the ass to disassemble though.  also, while i was digging around it occurred to me to upgrade the CPU since i can't find a new laptop that doesn't suck to get more mileage out of this one.  with maxed out RAM, a hybrid drive, and soon to be almost maxed out CPU ($45 vs. either $165 or shady chinese/japanese distributor that may or may not be genuine), this should get me by until laptop manufacturers get their heads out of their asses.  and maybe next windows release, but based on other thread i'd better think about snagging the most tolerable win7 one available now or grab a copy to do a fresh install while they are still available.

i just had a bad experience with os.execute() see i was working on a bunch of bugs in my data graphing script that collects data from an imu connected to an arduino, and then graphs it out in an opengl canvas. its one of those linear algebra problems that ive long since figured out that there is no getting my head around it, i just have to try every possible combination of maths till it works. needless to say i got tired of tabbing through my lua files so that i could run the main wlua file (which is needed for gui applications). so in the file i was working on i scrolled down to the bottom and added this code:

Code: [Select]
if not runthings then
runthings = true
os.execute ("imu")
end

i hit that run button hoping that my script file (which contains nothing but my graphing "class") will run, then get to that thing at the bottom and launch the actual app so i can remove two mouse clicks from my work flow. it seems obvious now that this doesnt work. that damn runthings variable gets lost somewhere (right at the end of the file when it launches a new interpreter instance), and i end up getting a runaway loop of my lua script launching new instances of itself. ive *****ed about lua's memory hoggyness before, and it didnt take long for the system to eat every scrap of system memory available. i was scrambling trying to kill them before the machine locked up, i managed to force a reboot. this is a sure sign that ive had enough programming for one day, time for sleep actual (though knowing me im going to reboot my system 50 times trying to pass the runthings variable to the new instance). im actually convinced that most viruses during the 90s where the hacker's failed attempts at programming something useful.

and it all could have been avoided with

Code: [Select]
os.execute ('wlua -e "runthings = true" -- imu.wlua')

1 day before i get my build money and newegg runs out of my case. since all my parts were selected to fit in that case it makes it twice as infuriating. now im scrambling looking for alternatives. they have a large version of the same, but it is too deep to fit desk hole. then i found a nice thermaltake that is too tall to fit deskhole. found a fractal that looks nice but is $80+ (and i have a fractal, its too loud). burn all the things.

Because Intel's naming convention is stupid, the aforementioned CPU I purchased is in fact NOT compatible with my laptop (T7600 is, T7500 is what I bought because 1/3 price for 2.2 vs 2.33 ghz).  I discovered this and sent a cancellation request at literally the exact same minute I received the shipment notification email.  So now I probably get to pay return shipping and a restock fee, if I can return it at all.  They haven't replied yet.  :banghead:

ever wish you could magically have $1884 deposited in your account no questions asked? well it happened today, i bought computer bits, a bigscreen tv, and $400 in groceries, and i still got some left for illegal drugs, booze, and whores.

my rig turned out to be slightly different.

my plans for a modest low power gaming box managed to turn into a 4 ghz powerhouse crammed into a tiny mini itx case. video card is still in the moderate range but its not like i ever play any tripple a titles. oldies and indie games are pretty much it. went with a higher capacity, slower ssd instead of the samsung 840 evo i was planning on. the mobo that i really liked, got swapped out by an asrock that supports oc ram. this allowed me to bump my memory up to 2400 (i really didnt want another 1600 build). i would have been deadset in not getting another asrock, had i not noticed that my old asrock motherboard was still chugging along nicely in moms old i5 rig. also it had a qvl for memory, where the gigabyte didnt seem to, so i was able to match up with memory that the board supports.

Depends on the copywrite laws of that nation, I guess. Some items ownership has been passed down through families or via inheritance. In the case of museums, I think their ownership titles are on the gift basis.

Copywriting is there to protect an author's work from being claimed as the work of another author. Granted, it has a recent stigma from companies abusing copywrite/intellectual property laws to get monies...

Additionally, copyright can apply to a specific publication of a work where the original is in the public domain, e.g. specific typesettings of musical scores by Bach or Beethoven, or a translation of Newton's Principia.

The optics I have all make sense to have. .50 BMG rifle? Sort of needs an optic if I'm going to use it for 500+ yard shooting (specially since iron sights aren't a thing on it)

WWII Mosin PU Variant? Well, because history
And the scout optic I have is if I ever decide to slap it on my tacticool Mosin, but that's currently got a red dot on it

Nope, pretty sure it was the user!  I was young and impatient and lazy, so I preferred a scope to the time spent practicing with iron sights.  It was a top-eject model so it would have required a side mount scope on the left side, but I shoot left handed (plus I think it would have looked ridiculous).  The Ruger M77 Mk.II Ultralight I got to replace it didn't even come with iron sights.

After my dad out-shot me with his bolt-action .22 with iron sights against my scoped semi-auto, I finally realized there was something to gain from the fundamentals learned using iron sights, and I started practicing more that way.  It has improved my skills all around.  As I am teaching my kids to shoot, I am making sure they are proficient with iron sights before I let them try with a scope. 

My optics make more sense now, too. 
 - I have a 3-9x variable scope on my .308, as we hunt on a combination of wooded areas with open fields.  If I ever replace the scope, though, I may go to a 2-7x variable.
 - My Marlin .22 has a 4x scope,
 - but my shorter ruger 10/22 has iron sights.  BTW, the iron sights on my 10/22 suck; anyone have any good recommendations, without breaking the bank? 
 - My AR-15 has iron sights, but I have been considering a non-magnified red dot for it.
 - all my handguns and shotguns have stock iron sights/beads. 

I particularly like the target sights on my ruger 22/45.  Even with a 4" bull barrel, that thing is a tack driver.  I'm not a particularly good shot, but I have put a whole box of cheap .22 ammo through a half-dollar size circle at 25 yards (shooting from a bench).

Alright, so since I have very little guidance right now I am actually going to be very personal right now because I sort of need help

About thirty minutes ago, I had gone for a walk to a nice little place overlooking where I live, loaded a gun and placed it to the side of my head

Obviously I didn't go through with it and this is far from attention seeking I'm looking for here.
I chose to live, and I think I needed to do this in order to truly see that.

As a little note, no I am not a danger to myself anymore. Little on the loopy side sure, but no longer a danger

needless to say the last time i tried to kill myself i think i decided that it was more interesting to go along for the ride see what happens. also i was tripping balls because pills. suicide should be reserved for when things are irrecoverably wrong, such as when the cops are busting down your door.

Shut the **** up, Nuke; you're not helping.  As someone who was previously suicidal, it would've been very easy to take that post seriously.

@deathfun: I don't know how to help you.  I rid myself of suicidal tendencies by reading Buddhist scripture.  I don't think that will work for everyone.  As with others who aren't Nuke, I suggest talking with people who are experienced with this sort of thing.  Even if you're not suicidal anymore, they can help you get through the fact that you were nearly ready to take your own life.

I took steps towards preventing further instances as yes, I'm aware relapsing is a thing. I've passed on the firearms in question to a good friend after him and another good friend came by.

We talked a bit, enjoyed ourselves on some games. I even reconnected with the person I had dropped for this specific reason a few months back. They were amazingly receptive, specifically my best friend of which we basically just picked up where we left off

What I'm trying to focus on is that I made the choice to live, so I intend to abide by it
As odd as it may sound to people who haven't been like this, it seems as though going that far was necessary for me to be able to beat this. It's always been a lingering option in the background, something that made it so I could just do nothing and have a way out once I could no longer just do nothing

It isn't an option anymore, and that makes me obligated to try

I appreciate the thoughts at any rate. I'll be taking advantage of the clarity which hopefully isn't, but probably will be, temporary.

One of the weirdest things about suicide is that it is often a spur of the moment thing. That's why so many people get talked down from ledges. They get up on the ledge, get ready to jump and then start wondering exactly why they got up there cause the feeling they had when they climbed over has faded away.


It's one reason why it's so important to call a crisis centre when you feel suicidal. It can feel like a rational choice but how rational can the decision to throw yourself off a bridge be if suicide rates for the entire town go down the second they put up barriers on a bridge? If you make it harder for people to kill themselves quite often they don't just find another way, they don't do it at all. So no matter how logical it can seem to do it, it's worth remembering that your brain can play tricks on you and that you should see a expert.

The difference being is that for me it has never been spur of the moment, but a calculated option
As stupid as the option is to most, living in constant misery wasn't exactly a great alternative. The bit that gets overlooked is that I tried to do something about it, I hung onto the option of getting better... however the other one was just stronger and eventually just won out because the effort being put in just wasn't matching up with betterment

Having been suicidal myself, I geuss I can relate my feelings on this.
First I will vent a bit: I found out why Gamergate's mascott, Vivian James, has a green and purple sweater - I won't link you the details (google 4 chan green and purple if you really want to know) - Green and purple refers to an image where a Dragonball Z character is ... mistreated - Since the image was too bad for 4chan, mods immeaditely removed and banned. However, /v/ users then started to make a lot of images with green and purple as a reference to said pic, intending to trigger the image subconsciously.

Tl;dr: Gamergate uses a trauma trigger as their mascott.

So with that out of the way, on to the suicide!

I don't find this entirely correct, and I agree more with deathfun. The thing is that, no matter how much you don't want yourself to keep living with this and eventually go "the ends justify the means", it's still really ****ing hard to kill yourself. Killing yourself is a big leap, and it is often a leap people are unwilling to take because their depression prevents them from taking big leaps. This is why people who are on anti-depressants have greater risk of suicide for a time, because their willingness to take big leaps increases before their actual feelings about their situation does.

The reason why people can be talked down from ledges is not because it's a "Spur of the moment thing". Those people have thought long and hard about this - It's quite simply because they no longer see any other way out of their misery and in their desperation see no other way. But that is also why one can talk people out of it: When you are at the point that you are willing to take your own life to make the misery stop, you are usually open to just about anything that you feel can improve your life situation. It's not the suicide that is a spur of the moment thing, it's the walking away of it that is.

Tl;dr: Gamergate uses a trauma trigger as their mascott.

That... does not sound to me like a reasonable example of a 'trauma trigger'. That term refers to an actual concept with an actual serious meaning, not 'anything that someone finds reminiscent of something offensive'.

I didn't mean that suicide is a whim. I meant that the part of you that wants to kill yourself can win out for no real reason.

Just one day with no real triggering event it gets too much.

And for many people if you get past that point the side of you that wants to live wins out again and you realise it would have been a mistake.

But speaking to someone is important because you never know when that side is going to win again. So it's not as if you can say "I'm okay, I only need to talk to someone about this if things get bad again"

Machine learning! Woot!

I finally got a multilayer perceptron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilayer_perceptron) to learn!



Wikipedia says take the gradient and modify the coefficient proportionally, i.e. this:

Code: [Select]
for each index i into coefficients matrix "weights":
        dydx[i] = the partial derivative of f(weights) with respect to weights[i]
for each index i into coefficients matrix "weights":
        weights[i] -= learning rate * dydx[i]



Here's what actually works:

Code: [Select]
for each index i into coefficients matrix "weights":
        dydx = the partial derivative of f(weights) with respect to weights[i]
        weights[i] -= learning rate * dydx



 :sigh:

Finally lost it with my family... for quite simple reasons. I'm close to finishing my BFA degree, but if I get anymore conspiratorial **** about "being brainwashed," for going to a state university and or "supporting American Imperialism" because I happen to like drawing mechanical objects including tanks, artillery, and piles of spent shells, Holy Hell they're going to get no rest till I quit the house.

Certain members of my family are now convinced I want to join the military and invite UN troops to take over America for our evil Rothschild Overlords. Over a bunch of frickin' mechanical studies! Seriously, why do I put up with these idiots?

But hooray, I'm on track to nabbing that long coveted BFA.

On the plus side, Gamasutra is on its last legs for advertiser support. If Autodesk falls, and I hope they do, that site will wake up and get off its Politically Correct ass. Though I may be no friend of GamerGate, I do find it wonderful that a consumer backlash is now finally starting to send a blunt message to gaming media that they're not safe.

Well, two of them are literally going nuts that Ebola is loose. They keep telling me I can get infected if I loiter on campus too long and too stay clear of Africans because I might get it.

Yeah, really, that's why they tried telling me. At this rate, the stress from the hysteria has done more to damage to my hairline and slow but steady weight loss.

Two Examples: Brother told me I don't have the right or agency to save money in the bank, because it'll be stolen by the Rothschilds. I nearly hit him over the head with crockery. Another time, him being the wise sage of Economic strength, attempted to get me to quit college because "Degrees don't matter. Only the earth does." Then gave me a bunch of bull**** how the job market is depressed, why I couldn't live on my own (fun fact I have) and how I was lazy and leeching off the family. Then he went on a two hour rant about how our cities will fall to the Next Apocalypse and how farming and ranching would be the only way to survive. I nearly kicked him in the balls. Then he cites himself as a "scientist" while pointing at the incomplete thing he calls a college career as proof of knowledge.

And I'm the one walking away with another degree, while he never finished college after mentally burning out working as a lab rat.

So yeah, nuts is a small way of putting it. So long story short, I'm moving out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8buJ2-oD02E

Well, I'm quite the sane (and egotistical) offspring of one of those crazies. My dad is pretty sane and has managed to weather the rest.

But at this rate my brother probably won't have kids. Or a stable marriage. One reason I'm now cutting relations, axing financial ties and and prepping to move out is the idea that when (or if) he gets married to prepare for one hell of a divorce and lawsuit.

And that means not sharing anything with him. Kinda sucks that I'm going out with a literal bang (I plan on lighting firecrackers when I leave), but I don't want to be involved in future legal spats.

Deathfun, it's good to know that you didn't go through with it. You're a great lad, with a hobby I could only dream of taking up. I hope you're talking with the people you feel you need to, to get out of the dark places.

I also have to say that I'm genuinely surprised at Nuke. I don't remember him being that....thoughtless in his remarks. Tasteless yes. But meh, it's been dealt with.


Now for what's been happening in my life! (Cue fanfare of trumpets)

I have a new job working for a patient transport firm contacted by the NHS! I'm just on the phones taking bookings, but it's still rewarding to me.
I also ate a lamb kebab wrap on Sunday, of which has left me feeling as if I've been hit in the stomach with a bowling ball.

Aside from that, I've been pottering around at my own steady pace, dealing with **** as it comes.

Fusion jazz metal in 5/4 timing with the occasional shift into 7/4 just to be different.

Write a song about King Lear entirely in iambic pentameter. If you're having trouble fitting ten words into a line, do it in 5/4. Two words per beat! It practically writes itself!

Do a sweeping blues ballad about a sheep lost in the big city trying to find its way without being spontaneously sheared. Make it deep and meaningful but nonsensical in a Nick Cave Bob Dylan sort of way. Just for kicks, try and fit twelve-bar-blues into 5/4 timing.

Now that I've graduated and have five months of savings scraped up I've been putting together a new computer. I'm mostly done:


I'm still using my GTX 560 Ti at the moment but I'll be getting a GTX 980 once the good models stop being sold out. My old PSU is fine for now at 750W, but on my list after the new graphics card I'll probably be getting some additional HDDs. I've got a 300gb HDD in my tower and another 1.5 TB in NAS and I've been thrashing around at about 90% capacity for the past year or so. My old SSD was only 60gb so my new one will help a bit but I'm probably just going to fill it up with games.

I gotta say, it's nice having a case that not only isn't all dented and broken but actually fits the side panels on with my hardware in it.  :D

Building a new computer myself and broke. Now, just for the stupid case to arrive (why the hell didn't I put that on Amazon Prime earlier?)

Build: Intel i7 4790k, MSI Z97M MATX Gaming Mobo, x2 G.Skill Ripjaw 4gb sticks, Coarsair CX600 PSU. Other parts are from my current rig (and I'm not skimping on the processor this time around).

And why the hell am I going for a MicroATX build? I'm an idiot that's why. Going with a half-decent budget case from Rosewill and will migrate to something beefier when I have more funds in a month or two.

Fun things: Starting to get myself untangled from the family screwjob. Not fun, but necessary. For once my brother and I shopped together without trying to club one another over brussel sprouts. Then there's building a graduation portfolio, going slow as hell and had a bad conflagration in a review session with fellow students . Had a fun time with a student accusing me of being a sexist ass-hole for some Pinup work, only to have her shut up when I showed her penis studies and nude men strutting their nuts for all to see.

Going along to the clinic for blood tests this week, part of me is certain there's nothing to worry about, but I felt it would be better to put that judgement into the hands of someone who can say with a little more certainty.

I'm working. For money. I haven't earned money since the end of May. (Career changing strategies should be thought out a tiny bit more carefully)

Many, many bill collectors are going to breathe a sigh of relief when I actually can pay them in two weeks. Including my family which has been preventing me from bouncing my rent.

Current nightmare: 24 Pins and why they hate us!

Stupid mobo 24 pin ATX connector won't click. Thought I'd gotten it done the first time and had a minor incident of the USB plugs going dead for a moment until I shut it down and looked at the innards. After struggling for fifteen minutes and cutting up my fingers, I threw up my hands and bought an extender on Amazon. Then, my prized gaming mouse vomited its innards and ceased to function.

Screw you karma, I'm going to get some lemons and make you take that karma back!

Was seeing a lot of folks I know talking about that (they live/work in the same area)


I've also come to realize that certain choices I have made or that my emotions have concluded to have left me with certain drawbacks
And that is my having to come to terms that on any sort of intimate level of relationships, ie girlfriend, marriage, love, whatever associated with that... is something I will never be able to have. Least not one that is healthy

Part one of that is the feelings I have for another will never just go away since they'll always be a big part of my life, and they'll always come first over anyone else. Hardly fair for anyone else who tries to be intimate with I as I won't be able to give them my all, ever.

And part two being is the fact that since I am as screwed up as I am, out of principal of putting others before myself, I can't subject people to that

Really no idea how to approach this line of thought, but at least I recognize the possible self destructing properties of it and am at least going to you guys for some advice

EDIT: Talked it out with person in question... things well... they're uneasy now. Probably should've just stayed quiet, but then I'd just be lying to them. Lying for their benefit sure, but I couldn't do that. I was keeping her from being able to move on from stuff and every time I talk about certain discomforts, it makes her hesitate about it all. Some unpleasant realizations later, I told her to ignore how what she does affects me, to ignore it for the sake of her being able to be happy without me bringing that down

Probably just killed a good thing after reconnecting not long ago as now it seems like the whole us being best friends has taken a hit down to just sort of friends

She'll benefit out of it, guess that's a silver lining.

I feel like ****, pathetic and that I deserved it because afterall I caused it


I don't think I have the capacity to be happy with myself anymore. Personal accomplishments be damned, big or small they mean jack to me now. How the hell am I supposed to cope with this ****?

A fellow who has followed me on Twitter damn near since I started my account seemingly lost his mind tonight because my account is quasi-anaonymous. this is not a change - it has always been this way.

After I dared to post a glib comment about the pathetic CNN coverage of the Ottawa shooting, he went off in a serious of over a dozen very infantile and insulting tweets that basically all hinted at the theme that I was missing important man bits because of the account anonymity, and that he doesn't have any interest in accounts that are anonymous.  when I mentioned he followed me and has never had an objection before, it just got weirder, and he ignored my reasons why maintaining anonymity is important before retweeting the start of them and then unfollowing.

After reading this... I can only say one thing really. Whenever I feel like my life has taken a sharp turn to the worse, I merely think back to how I was maybe, 5 years ago... I might not have been happier, but things were very, very different. I can't say with any certainty what 5 years in the future will be like for me.

Therefore, it may suck now, but it could very well be very different in the future, almost like a whole new life. It's something worth considering, at least.

Consume melatonin pills
Seriously, on that I've some of the best dreams in my entire life and none of them I wake up from going "well **** now I feel like ****"
Though this morning I did go "COME ON IT WAS JUST GETTING GOOD"
(The dream itself was awesome, but it cut out right as I was about to have sex with an asian woman. Seriously it was so vivid and then my brain went "Time to wake up!" Fffffffuuuuu. Didn't even get too far into the foreplay. However it does mean that the advice people gave me for the whole in love don't know what to do situation is working and I'm starting to disassociate intimacy with my best friend. Faster than I expected which could be good or bad, don't know yet)

Yeah that was probably unhelpful, but the main point is that it is entirely possible to disassociate certain feelings with someone if you can figure out how. What I'm doing seems to be working

as for dissociating, i don't want to do that at all.  i know it's bad, but i don't want to even try to let go.  not yet.  despite my promises to myself, i still haven't sacked up and tried to have the talk.

I've always been curious about working in Radio. I love to talk, and love even more when people listen! I am quite opinionated, and have been told numerous times I have a very clear, good voice when doing presentations or talks. I'm considering stopping by the local Campus radio station, as they have an Orientation night every few months so people can see how Radio stations work, and maybe become a volunteer. Could mean I might get an internship at a commercial station down the road.

Not 100% sure if I want to go yet or not though. Uncertain what's holding me back, just sounds like it would be pretty interesting.

I don't understand fibre optic internet. I get 20 download speed from my ISP, and if I upgrade to fibre, it's something like 40 or 60, or expensive if you want 100 or something. But aren't regular cables capable of putting 40, or even 100 down speed? The whole fibre cable thing seems like a marketing scam. I know fibre can handle more data, but the ISP's don't seem like they're coming anywhere close to using it to it's actual potential.

Well now that the shock has (somewhat) passed, I'll just shed some light on my internet connection.
1st: Yes that is legit, no hacks, photoshops, etc. Real deal
2nd: I am on a Fiber to the premises (aka fiber to the home) connection.
3rd: I do not live in Boston. I live quite a bit farther away from the city, but the Comcast speedtest server in Boston is the only one I have tested that is able to maintain my advertised internet speed (1.0Gb/s down, 400 Mb/s up)


Also, although I am not an expert in networking, I do believe the reason for fiber to the home connections over typical coaxial or twisted pair cable is less interference, and thus greater range. To elaborate, fiber has a much larger data throughput retention rate than the aforementioned wiring types. You might hear of research being done by say, Bell labs, where they state that they have hit some extreme data throughput like 100Gb/s on twisted pair, but in reality, the amount of power required to maintain that signal is very high, and the distance at which they can maintain that level of throughput is very short. Thus, your standard coaxial or twisted pair line will greatly lose its throughput the farther it has to travel. Fiber, for the most part, does not have these problems.

tl;dr fiber is more cost effective because it is future proof, takes less power, and has better signal retention over long distances.

+1 to that.

At work we're about to install equipment that'll run 10GbE over 50-60 km's using single mode fibre. The copper twinax connections which can do the same speed are only good for 5 metres (admittedly the fibre connections cost a *lot* more than the twinax cables).

Well now that the shock has (somewhat) passed, I'll just shed some light on my internet connection.
1st: Yes that is legit, no hacks, photoshops, etc. Real deal
2nd: I am on a Fiber to the premises (aka fiber to the home) connection.
3rd: I do not live in Boston. I live quite a bit farther away from the city, but the Comcast speedtest server in Boston is the only one I have tested that is able to maintain my advertised internet speed (1.0Gb/s down, 400 Mb/s up)

Okay, that's all good to know actually. And to the other above post, it's mbps, sorry for the confusion there. However, I checked, and my DL speed is 20 mbps down. One ISP in my area offers 200 mpbs down on regular cables, the other offers 250 mpbs down, but on fibreop. Obviously, the 200 mpbs down is cheaper than the fibreop, but not by very much. I just wish I had cheaper ISP's in my area. My 20 mpbs down speed is costing $60 per month.

Actually I doubt it'll come down in price much more because its not a consumer product my work is using (haha! Who want to buy 4x 10GbE CWDM optics modules to use for your home internet?), ergo you don't get the benefits of selling a bajillion units to make the same profit.

I think this is significantly less true of services than products.  My price for internet has never dropped since I've been paying the bill, and probably not even at home before that.  Standard speeds have gone up, but it doesn't seem to be matching the pace of the actual technology development.  Fiber optic is not a new thing.  They covered that in my middle school computer classes.

a week later, finally get a response from ubi support after my terse reply to their copy-paste "try the troubleshooting steps on the website" initial reply (that they took more than a day to send me).  going to continue on down that path anyway in hopes they might fix the driver problem that i've had since the beginning along the way.  but i don't hold out much hope.  i already ordered a different cable from amazon and will apply the hack to let me use it once i get my bass fixed.  if it had been the old one, i'd crack it open and try my hand at fixing it myself, but i'm not doing that for the first time on my baby.  it could use a professional setup anyhow.  i can't get the damn fret buzz out of it and it's already got substantial relief.  to the point where i wonder if it might be bad for the neck.

chain of support thus far (with response time):

Me: detailed description of problem, steps taken so far on my own to try to fix it, clear statement that i had read and followed all troubleshooting steps provided on the website

UBI (2 days): copy-paste of troubleshooting section of support site.  complete with uninserted [insert here] tags.

Me:  read what the hell i'm writing and stop wasting both our times.  i told you ALL of this already.  i did this so as to avoid this pointless first round of messages.  now what, if anything, can you ACTUALLY do to solve this?  continue to waste my time and there's no chance i'm giving you $30 for a replacement.

UBI (1 week):  Sorry.  We were just being "thorough" by doing no thinking at all.  send us dxdiag and msinfo files. (copy-paste instructions that don't even match the actual submission process)

Me: files.  no words.

UBI (2 days):  copy-paste of another troubleshooting step.  the one i went into the MOST detail about performing in my original statement. :hopping: :hopping: :hopping: :hopping: :hopping: :hopping:


i haven't the will to formulate a response to that yet.  open to input.

So I just got back from seeing Interstellar. I won't spoil anything significant, but here's what I have to say about it:

Stop reading and go see it.




You're still reading anyway?  Okay, so the film is pretty lengthy at a hair under 3 hours, but unlike most ~3hr films, it kept me (and most of the rest of the audience as far as I could tell) engaged throughout. I only looked at my watch once, compared to like, every 10 ****ing minutes during the Hobbit. (Sorry Peter Jackson, loved LOTR, but your Hobbit series is terrible. Oh wait, I'm talking about Interstellar.)

Common complaint, which I share: Whoever their sound mixer was ought to be fired. The soundtrack is way too loud, sometimes even making it a struggle to understand dialog.  Simply inexcusable.

Aside from the decibels, the soundtrack is good though. A repetitive ear-worm, but one that carries a lot of power and emotion, and I never got tired of it. The sound FX are nice as well, and I love their choice of NOT using them in vacuo. They not only properly render the vacuum of space as non sound-transmitting, but they even use it to great effect.

As for acting, Matthew McConaughey gave an outstanding performance and totally carried the film.  There is some cheesy dialog, mostly when explaining science (I feel that the Nolan brothers are consistently bad at non-intrusively explaining science or the rules by which their films work.)  And speaking of the science... some of it, including the premise, is utterly ridiculous and I could go on about how dumb it is for pages.

On the other hand, some aspects of the science were wonderful. I loved the wormhole/black hole physics (even though they are not entirely perfect), and the visuals of them are worth the admission price alone.  Also a good use of orbital mechanics and relativity, despite stretching them a bit. I won't go into details about the relativity -- you should just see it for yourself.

And the best thing, the thing that surprised me most: the story! It has flaws, but was nevertheless one of the most moving things I've seen in a pretty long while. I want to spoil the final act. I want to spoil it soooo hard.

So in a nutshell, Interstellar is far from perfect -- even maddeningly so in certain respects -- but nevertheless is ****ing amazing.
Go see this film.

I also propose that this thread should be locked so that everyone would stop ****ing procrastrinating on the internet and go watch it already!

It's damn good! It's a hard sci fi flick with lots of human drama - astronauts, overcoming the elements, humanity at stake, relativity and time as a resource, a dad and his kids...

It's good.

Indeed - I don't think I've ever seen silence used as well as it is here. It does an amazing job of conveying emptiness, and tension when the scene calls for it. I also like how, several times, we got the reverse of the typical action-movie cut: a loud scene, full of movement or emotion, cutting immediately to complete silence, e.g. (trying to keep this spoiler-free but) watching messages, or the hatch explosion scene. The use of silence gave a great sense of finality to those scenes, which was very apropos considering (still trying to keep it spoiler-free but omgggg)

I found it excellent that the movie was definitely a sci-fi movie, full of wonder about the unknown and introspection into the human condition, rather than an action movie that happens to be about space (as is the case too often atm - looking at you, Abrams Trek).

I also liked that the monolith robots were complete inversions of the usual scifi robots/androids/synthetics. When I first saw one, I prepared myself for either the usual groan-worthy emotionless Cmdr. Data, or the usual "just following orders" AI betrayal, but the Interstellar robots were on completely equal terms with the crew and were the funniest characters on the show.

When Cooper docked with the spinning station I was convinced he was actually a Kerbal.

Anyway, 9/10 for me, definitely a must-see for scifi nerds.

Because this refers to what I'd call a pretty significant moment in the film:

Spoiler:
"When Cooper docked with the spinning station I was convinced he was actually a Kerbal."

OMG yes.

I actually tried something like that in Orbiter once -- ISS on a rapid spin (not >60rpm though... more like 10) on all three axes, while descending into atmosphere no less, and trying to dock with it using the delta glider.  FUUUUUCK that was hard -- most intense few minutes of concentration in my life.  And pulled it off, barely, just as aerodynamic effects were getting important. 

Never again.

Common complaint, which I share: Whoever their sound mixer was ought to be fired. The soundtrack is way too loud, sometimes even making it a struggle to understand dialog.  Simply inexcusable.

This is an issue that is starting to crop up in a lot of movies these days.
E.g. The last batman movie (ignoring the muffled voice of bane) had the issue of sound mixing in general resulting in basically everybody being tough to hear of other sound/music or muffled voices.

This is true, I think that that may have been an issue with the sound working really well in the enviroment where the sound mixing was done and where it was tested (As dialog is via center speaker whilst music is via the left and right speakers IIRC), and the movie obviously aims for the music to play a very important part in several scenes. More dynamism there then in some classical concerts .

So I just got back from seeing Interstellar. I won't spoil anything significant, but here's what I have to say about it:

Stop reading and go see it.




You're still reading anyway?  Okay, so the film is pretty lengthy at a hair under 3 hours, but unlike most ~3hr films, it kept me (and most of the rest of the audience as far as I could tell) engaged throughout. I only looked at my watch once, compared to like, every 10 ****ing minutes during the Hobbit. (Sorry Peter Jackson, loved LOTR, but your Hobbit series is terrible. Oh wait, I'm talking about Interstellar.)

Common complaint, which I share: Whoever their sound mixer was ought to be fired. The soundtrack is way too loud, sometimes even making it a struggle to understand dialog.  Simply inexcusable.

Aside from the decibels, the soundtrack is good though. A repetitive ear-worm, but one that carries a lot of power and emotion, and I never got tired of it. The sound FX are nice as well, and I love their choice of NOT using them in vacuo. They not only properly render the vacuum of space as non sound-transmitting, but they even use it to great effect.

As for acting, Matthew McConaughey gave an outstanding performance and totally carried the film.  There is some cheesy dialog, mostly when explaining science (I feel that the Nolan brothers are consistently bad at non-intrusively explaining science or the rules by which their films work.)  And speaking of the science... some of it, including the premise, is utterly ridiculous and I could go on about how dumb it is for pages.

On the other hand, some aspects of the science were wonderful. I loved the wormhole/black hole physics (even though they are not entirely perfect), and the visuals of them are worth the admission price alone.  Also a good use of orbital mechanics and relativity, despite stretching them a bit. I won't go into details about the relativity -- you should just see it for yourself.

And the best thing, the thing that surprised me most: the story! It has flaws, but was nevertheless one of the most moving things I've seen in a pretty long while. I want to spoil the final act. I want to spoil it soooo hard.

So in a nutshell, Interstellar is far from perfect -- even maddeningly so in certain respects -- but nevertheless is ****ing amazing.
Go see this film.

Saw this post, got in the car, and I am posting this from the movi

----------

at this point the waitress arrived with my food and the lights dimmed a few seconds later. Now, after watching the movie, I have taken out my phone so I can say:
H-O-L-Y_C-R-A-P

wow

Interstellar is a beautiful movie. It's literally the essence of Sci-Fi: The amount of amazement, wonder, and thrill of being on the cutting edge of, well, everything is not to be underestimated. This is not just an action movie in space. In fact, the amount of action in this film is pretty negligible. But it doesn't matter, because you will be riveted in your seat the whole way through.

Now here come the [SPOILERS] and my massively stupid but somewhat plausible relation to Blue Planet

Alright, so at the end of the film, we have Cooper hijacking a shuttle-thing to go find Brand. Also, Cooper appears to be the only one who knows about Brand's existence. Also, we also see at the ending scene that Brand has set up camp, and will probably propagate the human DNA on that planet. Assuming that Cooper makes it through the wormhole, and that he is the only one who knows about Brand and the DNA, he and Brand could raise an entirely new human race, unnoticed by the rest of humanity.

So here's the BP part:
So they make a civilization, and hundreds (thousands) years later they venture out into space again and find the rest of humanity back in the solar system (see it yet?).
However, the two civilizations, having different memories as to the nature of the wormhole, do not agree (should be obvious by now...). So, they go to war over the morals and ideals of their cultures.
Then some hotshot woman named Naomi busts the bad guys and saves the galaxy.

On second thought, just ignore the above paragraph, cause I'm clearly too tired to be posting here.

I would pay a lot to have someone come up with a bot to answer scambait phone calls.  Like a Siri I could switch the phone over to.
"... Oh, hello, my name is (unpronounceable) with Wesayso Corporation.  We are collecting information from the local area.  We would like to give you a quick surve-"
"Oh, hold on, let me get the lady of the house."
"...Yes.  That's very interesting.  How would you define 'good' in this context?"
"... Well, that depends.  What do you mean by 'negative?'"
"... Well, that depends.  What do you mean by 'passive-aggressive?'
Of course then we'll eventually just have bots calling bots, and it'll be a cold botwar completely with a bot arms race.  That could be fun too.

Was reminded of something poetic I wrote a couple months ago, decided to refurbish it a little bit

"She rose up into the sunlight, her hair glowing as it shone upon her face. The music swayed her body, it moved with the beat, gracefully and without restraint. As her hands tango'd with her feet, her hips swaying side to side, she had this natural glow that even the sun couldn't give. In that moment she looked as an angel, free, beautiful and happy. It was enough to make one forget, to be simply mesmerized in how she moved, and in who she was. She was her, uncut, but more polished than any diamond. One couldn't help but fall in love all over again"

I am a master of breaking into my own house and have done so on many occasions (five, six times over three houses)

My abilities to climb, shimmy and bend have never been so honed because of it

I had to break into my house once. Fortunately no "breaking" was involved, but that fence looked like it might not have been able to stand.

After nearly a week  :mad: the "instant product replacement" warranty on my video card finally resulted in the technician identifying that the fan noise I told them was not normal on day 1 was, indeed, not normal.

And as they didn't have another GTX 650 in stock and they were at their 5-day max, I am now the proud new owner of a GTX 750 Superclocked.  Mwuahaha.  Also, this new card has no secondary PSU connector; its powered solely through the motherboard.  I find this bizarre.  Technology has come full circle.

No, I was angry it took them 5 days and 3 calls from me to realize that when I said "the fan is much louder and making a grinding noise than it has ever done before" meant exactly that.

The better card slightly makes up for the 5 days of computer out of commission.

The area around my work floods pretty easily, but apparently not often enough for people with small cars to learn not to ****ing drive through it.  Which then blocks the road for my SUV which CAN make it through.  The worst was the dip**** who hadn't flooded his engine yet, but was determined to try and still moving forward toward me.  On my side of the road.  His bow wave washed over my windshield.  Luckily it didn't choke me out.

I've come to appreciate my parent's teachings when it comes to having adult/mature conversations

If only my best friend could of had the same chance


She's older than me, and has a very short window when it comes to A-Ok to I'm going to personally insult you (as in, use emotional and personal based insults which are really, really painful to hear from your best friend) and basically **** on our friendship

Why? Well that's an entirely good question

One Monday, things were good. Had watched her stream for a long while, it ended, decided to catch some sleep. Five hours later, I wake up, say hi, see how things are going to which the response is an overall "Things are fine". So I figured it'd be an okay time for me to discuss some things I had on my mind which came from the previous Friday later that evening as I was heading out. She said alright

I come back, she had gone to sleep, no big deal, I had resolved the problem on my own time over the weekend anyhow and was just looking for some thoughts and feedback

So I say hi to hear the next day, see how's she's doing. Her response was that there was a lot on her mind but that I had wanted to talk to her last night so go ahead, talk. My response was that my stuff can wait, what's up?

This is where personal insults come into play. Along the lines of "You didn't care last night so, talk"

Yes well, I didn't know last night something had happened, good on you for mentioning that. Only I said that a little more peacefully as in "Oh, I didn't know something was going on"

Thus starts her ranting about me, and a couple days later her desire to avoid me for an indefinite amount of time, that I'm a selfish twat, other hurtful things while I on the opposite end, was simply ignoring the insults and just focusing on what was going on with her. More "you don't ****ing care 'best friend' " and since she didn't want to talk about her personally, I turned the focus to her feelings towards me and why that was. "Oh sure, make it about YOU"

****, no this is about YOU and how YOU feel. Yes I'm directly involved in the particular conversation about how YOU feel, but that doesn't make it about me because I'm not talking about how you're making ME feel by making me out to be the worst person imaginable

Three days of silence because space is always nice right?

"Hello"
"The **** do you want?"

I mean, did I kill your dog? Break your heart? Do the unspeakable? Jesus

"Just checking in to see how you're doing, that's all"
"K, you did. Bye"

So, more space, say hello

Nothing was ever said back


Meanwhile I'm confused as all hell and wondering if the friendship is even a friendship anymore, but I intend to just keep being the fellow who sticks by his best friend even if they're currently ignoring and avoiding them for an unknown reason.

I just know something happened Monday, I asked if she wanted to talk about it and got a very, very resounding "No"

So yeah, I appreciate having learned how to remove emotions from a conversation in order have an open line of communication without the copious amounts of personal attacks and to prevent escalating the situation.



So any sort of thoughts or what I ought to do would be nice. I've already heard "drop the person out of your life" and I'm not prepared to do that out of principle. I don't leave friends because they're being difficult as that's precisely when they *need* people who see past their bull**** deflections and are there for them

deathfun: by the sounds of it, she may have some sort of feels toward you and is being aggressive because she is unsure of it or w/e that tsundere speal is. That, or she had some recent interaction with somebody else and is taking out some of that hurt on you.

At any rate, If she wants to talk to you, she'll talk on her own time. If she doesn't then she won't. Basically up to her at this point.

Oh are we drunk posting? I'm partially buzzed, looking for good buzz soon. Had a long week. Had to make two deliveries to two ships this morning, one at 6AM and the other at 645 AM, same dock. But the 2nd ship didn't arrive until 730 and then didn't take my pallet until 930. So now I'm super late for everything! Then my GPS stopped working so i didn't find the next stop very easily, and didn't find my last stop at all! I gave up and went back to the warehouse. Stressful. They had to courier priority out the delivery tomorrow morning. Oh well...

That's what I figured, and that's also what I respect
Although someone figured that she could also possible be bi-polar




EDIT: Entirely a non-issue, she apparently dropped me as a best friend a month ago and stopped trusting me. Fantastic
Lost another best friend attributed to me, but not entirely. I played my part in its downfall but I was working to fix my issues so that in the long run we'd be a better team. She chose to make up her mind about me and stopped having mutual trust, respect and communication

So my anxiety is gone, but I can't help but feel entirely ****. I don't know if I can trust myself to have close friends, or to love, or just any of that. I have few friends, and the number dwindles more than it rises

I'm glad that my friend still holds the keys to my firearms because right now I feel an emotional ****storm coming on

Maybe your old friends are too toxic by now.
You have to make new bridges, and you know what's the ****ty part of making new bridges? Finding the best place to put them.

I no longer give a **** about how pathetic I sound, but I do give a **** about the situation I have brought myself into

And I don't seem to choose who is in my life, that choice is made for me due to my actions

"When that is lost cannot be retrieved, one cannot help but feel both relieved and immense sorrow for having lost it. When that which is lost was lost because you were blind, lost in your own devices unable to escape and see where you had lost it... nothing but pain fills the void, regret and guilt. When what you perceive is a fabrication of your own mind, the time the veil unfolds will leave you stranded within the void you have brought upon yourself. This is the madness which hides within the recesses of your very mind"

Finished my birthday is a calm and quiet manner on Terraria with some close friends.

Earlier this week, I was sent to the hospital after a rifle on a firing range suffered mechanical failure and found myself the proud owner of several brass slivers up my ass. Surprisingly little damage occurred and the doctor pulled them out with tweezers after X-rays/Catscan revealed nothing more than four or five pieces of brass in my hind quarters. The fact that everyone walked away from that little explosion of gun-barrel love is pretty damn good news regardless.

Fun part of the ordeal was I didn't notice any problems after the little accident and until I sat down and felt like someone kicked me with iron boots when people were treated for minor injuries and lacerations. The range owners and some off-duty policeman there are trying to figure out why the rifle/ammo decided to pop. I think it was either an AR or something, but I didn't catch too much glimpse of it after everyone was shuffled to safety and checked for injuries.

Beyond that, smooth sailing towards graduation.

I was going through some funky mental state. Depression, suicidal thoughts, some funky psychotic symptoms and the like. Being watched 24/7 sure didn't help with the paranoia. Having someone open your door shining a light in your face every 30 minutes during the night was the worst. The lack of sleep started to make me see bugs on the walls and ghosts in my peripheral vision. I could hear them talking about how the place was haunted, so that only made things worse. But the group therapy definitely helped. Other than that, it was just crazy. I'm okay now, but I definitely don't want to go through that experience again.

I hate waking up in pain too. :/ Probably due to completely different reasons, but now when I wake up, I can't close my hands. As the day goes on it gets better, but every morning, my hands are so stiff I can't close them. I'm only 24 but believe it's due to the sheer amount of physical exertion my job entails, and my lack of sleep. (I'm finding it very difficult to adjust to my jobs hours of 4am-4pm)

Anyone here know the CNN hero of the year show? Presented by Benedict Cumberbatch?

Well the guy that won hero of year did so because he founded an animal rescue charity for animals in Afghanistan.  The charity has been going for years now.
Now some of you may or may not know that one of my dogs was saved and got back here because of that charity.

I am rather flabbergasted that, when the owner of 8chan was told that he's website was being kicked off patreon because it was used for hosting childporn, he changed his patreon to "support me making cat videos!" (whilst clearly stating that the excess money would still go to "other charities") instead of... doing anything about the child porn 0_o.

I look at the various ragdolls/models/whatever on the steam workshop for gmod, and seriously.

How does one go around making proper lifelike poses like in all the preview screenshots by all those other users? No really, I don't get it. I can't get the hang of the physics gun, and I have not yet found a tool that can directly help me with anything. Or even if I have subscribed to the tools, I simply fail at using them right, or something else altogether...

And all I really wanted to do was to stick a ragdoll in a ho-hum typical "soldier firing his rifle" pose... sigh  :banghead:

And NTLDR is missing errors have officially gotten on my nerves, with fixboot, fixmbr and bootcfg failing to resolve the problem...  :mad:

Well, in the last 5 days:

 - Tried to sucker punch my brother.
 - Swore like a sailor at my mother.
 - Told my dad to get bent.
 - Paternal grandmother is pretty much on her way out. 93 which is much longer than I expected.
 - Convinced that sweet sweet Brandy is as good as a hard shot of Scotch.

Beyond that, starting the New Year with a damn bang, that's for sure. For all the **** I get at home for being accused as a manchild, a government shill, an Israeil apologist, and stark raving lunatic, a failure with no job, and glutton for punishment, I ain't quaking in my shoes about the government and UN coming on my lawn. For every comment, jab, and rant I get about conspiracies, it's another log that fuels my burning hatred to get out.

I ain't gonna bend one knee, nor move an inch. The family can burn as far as I'm concerned, I'll take my freedom and they're going to need to like it.

Silly questions from somebody who's never been in that situation: Whoever is on duty gets paid right? Overtime? And finally, if there's nothing to do, is there any rule against napping or playing DS or something?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Post by: Klaustrophobia on January 10, 2015, 04:43:04 am
Yes, we get paid.  And while it doesn't sound bad to get paid sitting around doing nothing but napping or dicking around on the internet, there comes a point when no matter how much they are paying you for it, you just want to not be at ****ing work anymore.  That point was about 8 months ago. 

There's also the fact that even if we have nothing to do, that doesn't stop really stupid/petty bull****, or just everyone else's problems that we shouldn't have to put up with from falling on us.  We're the ones everyone comes crying to when they don't know what the **** they are doing or want someone to do their **** for them.  Things that we should absolutely not be involved in will get laid at our feet simply because we are there and everything is "I don't know, ask the STE."  I had to stay late right before our Christmas holiday because another division's isolation for a valve repair didn't hold and they weren't there to deal with it.  Or answering their phones.

And no to the DS thing, we can't have cameras.  I have an ipod and the government version of the internet.  Which basically means wikipedia.  Cracked and youtube work at night.  Maybe all day on the weekends, but I haven't had a daytime weekend shift in a really long time.  I would bring in my hard drive of movies, but we can't plug anything in to work computers.

I used to cart in a bunch of books for those night shifts where there is ****-all to do and you have to be there anyway.

FYI, for those who aren't employed by government, on-call is efficient but is somehow less justifiable for salary dollars than full shifts.  I know, it makes no sense to any of us either.

Our version of on-call is a less official off the books kind of deal.  We don't get paid if we don't actually go in.  They do usually pad our time by an hour or two on such occasions though.  The trades shops.... whole different story.  I heard an offhand comment about paying a shop worker 12 hours to come in just to restart a ventilation unit on a weekend.  And then go back home.  Because none of the rest of us are "qualified" to press a goddamn button.  Unions are wonderful, aren't they?

Yes, we get paid.  And while it doesn't sound bad to get paid sitting around doing nothing but napping or dicking around on the internet, there comes a point when no matter how much they are paying you for it, you just want to not be at ****ing work anymore.  That point was about 8 months ago. 

Got it. Best of luck then :)

Know what really grinds my gears?
People who in conversation generally only reply with short near one word responses

If you don't want to talk, I can respect that. But when this is basically how you talk with people in general unless there's (for the lack of a better word) drama going on? God damn. This isn't how you have a conversation.

"How's it going?"
"Good, you?" - I hate this. Say something about why it's good, or provide a sort of thing that has happened today. Example follows
"Not too shabby, been sleeping better recently"
"That's good" Don't even bother following up on that? I mean, no curiousity as to why? Just that's good? Moving on? Hell I've given things like "Saw this great movie last night" and the response usually involves "Nice".

I'm not talking about a specific person although one does come to mind. Perhaps they just don't want to talk, but then again in the times they do want to talk it's generally because there's drama going on or a problem which they'll talk all hours of time about. Normal conversation though? They just can't handle it. Talking about ideas? Might last for a moment and it's generally me who strikes up the initial subject.

Glad an old friend of mine has come back from a year long hiatus. We talk till all hours of the night. This friend puts to shame dozens of people I've met. Even if they didn't do much in the day, they don't just say "Not much" and leave it at that. They'll describe at length the day regardless if it's about cleaning the room or doing grocery shopping.

I need to meet more people like that. People who can talk about nothing and make it interesting.

Rant about the art of conversation over. I'll just settle with there's few people who actually are interested in talking with me

Wait, I don't remember having a conversation with you...

Srsly tho. Some people are just bad at conversation; I'm one of those people.

A lot of times I simply can't think of anything to say, or if I can think of anything, it will literally be as boring as:
"So I went to work, but I was 5 minutes late like always. But it's cool 'cause nobody cares. Then I clocked in. Then I went and started putting parts away, as that is part of my duties. Then I happened to be outside, so I looked in my truck, and what do you know, some ******* had thrown their trash in the bed AGAIN. I was highly annoyed. So I picked the trash out of the damp truck bed (it rained this weekend), and gingerly carried it inside so I could show my boss when I brought up the grievance later. I don't think he can do anything without knowing who exactly is doing the trashing, but it'll be nice to let him know just in case the ********** is ever caught.

"So then I put some more inventory away, and notice that my deliveries are already staged and ready to load. This has bugged me in the past because I'm a bit of a control freak, but lately I've learned to just roll with it, as it's now policy that I have to. About then the other driver gets there and I'm all like "Good morning!" and then she says "Good morning!" and then she has to go clock in as well. When she gets back out to the warehouse, she inquires what I'm listening to on my earbuds, and I tell her that I listen to a morning radio show. Guess what? She happens to know the hosts of the show from when they were on another station! Crazy, right?"

And this was one of my more eventful mornings, and I bored myself just writing all that.

Me, I just figure that a detailed treatise on how and why my life sucks is not generally what people are looking for when they casually ask, "Hey man!  How's it goin'?"

I mean, really.  99.9¯% of people out there neither need nor want my baggage.  They've got their own.  When I've got some cope and sympathy to spare, I've found the best thing I can do is still to shut my own mouth and listen.

But hey, different strokes, right?  If we were all pathological introverts with social anxiety and a persecution complex, we'd probably have nuked ourselves to kingdom come a dozen times over by now.

And that's something I can respect. What I respect more is when someone tells me that outright
That branches to a whole discussion about people not wanting to offend the other. Honestly, if you outright say I don't want to talk or don't want to talk with me, it's a lot better than pretending to care about the conversation and just give these one word responses.

Though my question to you I suppose is what is small talk to you?
I've never thought small talk to be conversation for the sake of conversation. It's always been seen to me as conversation with the purpose of learning something about someone, how they think, what their ideas are.

sonofa***** I think my laptop completely died.  Won't turn on at all, neither plugged in or on battery.  The LED doesn't even light up when plugged in.  Maybe I can bust it open and find a loose wire or something, but I wanted to use it now and I don't have the patience for that.

Just a couple months after upgrading the CPU too.  Still haven't found an acceptable replacement.  Why did the quality of laptops plummet since 2006?  Why does tiny smartphone have a 4k screen, but a sub-$1000 laptop only has 768?  And what the **** happened to trackpoints?!?

How long until windows 10 is released?  Hopefully it is more tolerable than 8.

EDIT: false alarm.  Turns out it was the power chord and the battery was dead.  Completely.  I had already tried breaking/remaking the connection at the tip (one of those multi-swappable deals), but did it again out of desperation and it worked.  Crisis over.  Though it does worry me a bit about the battery dying so quickly when disconnected (I usually take it out to prevent killing it since I'm almost always plugged in) and the chord connector tip starting to loose good contact.

I wish I knew why they made smartphones with that many pixels.  You wouldn't be able to tell the difference at a quarter of the pixel density than they seem to like using (what good is watching HD when everything is so small anyways), and they'd certainly be cheaper without them, and the batery life might be slightly better too.

As for larger screens, I've since retired my laptop in favor of a Surface Pro 2, but I wish I could get a 4k screen (or 3) for my desktop that was smaller than 30 inches, though my next purchase is likely to be an ultrawide since it better matches my use case rather than something that just has more pixels.

4k is complete overkill for anything except movie theaters (which is why it even exists).  I read an article on Cnet where someone did the math, and you have to be 5 feet away from a 55" TV for your eyes to resolve past 1080p.

Here's (http://www.cnet.com/news/why-4k-tvs-are-stupid/) the article. It's quite a leap going from overkill-for-tvs to overkill-for-all-but-cinemas, but 4K is definitely not a feature that should make you choose one display over another despite all other features.

Quote from: Reddit
Before you read this: Please don't judge me...
First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's ****ed up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.
I don't want to go into too many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so ****ing beautiful that I watched it twice. I probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy **** went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).
Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.
My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to **** her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was ****ed up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever ****ing seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.
But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when

Just a few months after buying a 3DS, I just saw an ad for the *new* 3DS (actual name).  And its.... actually significantly improved.  Face-tracking 3d (you can look at it off-center), and a second control stick, among the other typical minor spec upgrades for a new device.  It didn't look like they shaped it into something less horrifically uncomfortable though, which is my #1 complaint with the 3ds.

Looked back at Disney's Fantasia for the first time since I was six. It's still rubbish.

I find it hard to believe Walt Disney of all people was behind it. As a six-year-old, it's like being tortured to death. You sit through an hour of classical-music screensavers, get a token prize in the form of a mediocre Mickey Mouse cartoon, then sit through another hour of screensavers, by which time most of the kids in the room will have died of boredom. Then, just in case any of them survived, the film tries to finish them off by heart attack from
CHERNOBOG
(http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120712225152/disney/images/thumb/5/59/Chernabog_13.PNG/640px-Chernabog_13.PNG)

Okay, more than a decade later I admit the last section was pretty impressive. But who's bright idea was it to put to put Mickey Mouse and CHERNOBOG in the same film?

Big news in my life...

I've decided to move on from my studio. I'm just ready for a change.. mostly a change that involves not running a business with other employees. Besides, the other guys are ready to move on as well and one is planning on moving entirely! So yeah, I'm winding down production work over the next few months.

Instead I'll be switching to a freelance style job. Still production, but also including some web-dev.

It's a substantial change, but I'm looking forward to it because then I can pick projects based on my availability and not based on needing to pay for business space or employees. :) That means I'll have more time to spend with my kids and any of my hobby projects, including HLP!

Pretty much everything.  It's probably the purest example of flat-out animation that Walt Disney ever produced, and its format allowed for far more creative freedom than the standard big musical movie or Mickey Mouse short (not that there's anything bad about those, but they wind up being a lot of the same thing).  Tying the pieces to classical compositions lent a real sense of timelessness to it.  "Night on Bald Mountain" is one of my all-time favorite animated pieces ever...hell, in what other Disney work can you see topless demon women? :D As a general fan of animation, I absolutely love it when animators are able to cut loose and strut their stuff, and that's Fantasia in a nutshell.

I'll concede that the animation was high quality, and the classical music well-selected. My problem with the movie was... inconsistency. I like classical music, and I've got nothing against disney cartoons, but Fantasia tried to fuse a very long music concert with an extremely long cartoon marathon. This leads, IMHO, to something of an identity crisis, or more accurately a target audience crisis. Kids who want to see Mickey Mouse cartoons will simply fall asleep; adults who want to hear some classical music will usually find at least some of the cartoon sequences annoying (the centaur one especially). If it works for you, all well and good, but it didn't work for me. If I want to hear classical music I go to a proper concert (to be fair, not everyone is lucky enough to have a great concert hall just a few hours away)

Regarding the Bald Hill/Ave Maria sequence... here's the thing. It's a really good sequence. The animation is spectacular, it fits the music better than any other part of Fantasia. I STILL find it frightening today, more so than most zombie or slasher films. And the conclusion, where the horrifying beast is driven off by the sound of church bells and the procession of simple villagers, is very poignant. It would have been great if had been released as a standalone short film.

Here's the problem. It's not. For one thing, You have to sit through two hours of, well, the rest of Fantasia to get to it. But much more troublesome is the fact that Bald Hill/Ave Maria is orders of magnitude more intense than the rest of the film. Fantasia is (ostensibly) supposed to be a kid's film, or at least a film young kids watch. BH/AV is NOT a young kid's cartoon. Once again, a sort of identity crisis. Sticking Mickey Mouse and CHERNOBOG in the same film strikes me as foolish; sticking Mickey on the cover and providing no warning about CHERNOBOG makes it feel like a cruel joke.

Whoever said that Fantasia was meant to be a children's film?  Mickey himself was certainly an all-ages character at the time.  Disney originally released the film as something of a "roadshow" targeting a broad audience, and his original plan was to occasionally swap in new segments to provide a continuously-evolving experience; this wound up being derailed because of finances and World War II.  In any case, it certainly wasn't meant as something exclusively for children.  I think you're falling into the unfortunately-common trap viewing animation in general, and Disney-produced animation in particular, as something automatically targeting kids.

Right. Disney's original shorts were targetted at all ages, adults as well as children.  The whole "animated is kids stuff" came later. And even Disney himself considered that sentiment to be stupid: "You're dead if you only aim for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."

You're absolutely correct that Fantasia is not, purely speaking, a young kids film like most modern Mickey Mouse cartoons. It was certainly marketed at a broad audience. Problem is, young kids were included in said target audience, but the Bald Hill/Ave Maria sequence is, IMHO, too intense for a film marketed even partially at young kids. Again, not saying it wasn't good, just saying it would have been better off as a standalone short with more accurate marketing.

4k is complete overkill for anything except movie theaters (which is why it even exists).  I read an article on Cnet where someone did the math, and you have to be 5 feet away from a 55" TV for your eyes to resolve past 1080p.

Where is said article? I am interested in this.

Here's (http://www.cnet.com/news/why-4k-tvs-are-stupid/) the article. It's quite a leap going from overkill-for-tvs to overkill-for-all-but-cinemas, but 4K is definitely not a feature that should make you choose one display over another despite all other features.

EDIT: If you're like me and you have an immense distrust of everything from Cnet this (http://www.cis.rit.edu/people/faculty/montag/vandplite/pages/chap_9/ch9p1.html) is a better explanation of the biological limits to our eyesight.
Sort of a discussion necro, but 4k may be a bit more relevant with computers.  You sit closer to the screen, so a higher pixel density is a good thing to have, though I will admit for smaller monitors you probably don't need to go all the way to 4K.  Still I wish monitors had a bit more pixel density in general; for all their improvements over the years, pixel density hasn't changed much, 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 minotes are around the same size as they were 5 years ago which means the pixel denisty is pretty much the same.

Aside from that though, I think even though you can't actually see the pixels there are some benefits to more of them.  The main one is it decreases observable aliasing.  For TVs this doesn't mean much since stuff like movies even if filmed in 4k have to be downsampled anyways to play at 1080p (which effectively bakes AA in), so the difference isn't as noticeable, but computers don't have that luxury due to rendering on-the-fly (though the newest GPUs support rendering at 4k and downsampling, which again nets a similar effect).

On a side note, if anyone watches tech news.  MHL announced around CES that they are going to make their own thing.  Previously it was pretty much just a way to allow HDMI through a USB 2.0 connection, but now they aim to replace HDMI.  While I appreciate something that is a bit more forward thinking (HDMI is getting a bit long in the tooth by now scrounging for bandwidth and have been making tradeoffs on higher resolutions in the form of chroma subsampling and/or framerate limits), I am not happy to have more competing formulas (especially when DisplayPort already exists and has the bandwidth required).  What really blew my mind though: they showed off the ability to have 8k 120Hz,TV.  For the reasons mentioned earlier, I think it's totally asinine a display like that actually exists even if it IS huge.

So about a year ago the wife's Compaq laptop stopped booting - no splash screen, no beeps, not even the screen backlight coming on at all.  I eventually noticed that the LEDs next to Caps Lock and Num Lock were flashing, so I thought maybe they were trying to tell me something.  After some research, I found that it was telling me "CPU not functional (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01732674#AbT2)."  So after some additional research about compatibility, I got a new CPU, upgrading from the Sempron M120 to a Turion II Ultra M600 in the process.  After tearing the whole thing down to get at the CPU and correctly putting it back together, I got the same result.  Disgusted, I put it aside, planning to eventually remove the hard drive and sell what was left for parts. 

So today, I finally got around to preparing the Ebay listing.  First I tried powering it up again, to confirm which code it was flashing, but this time it indicated "BIOS corruption failure".  Huh.  So I followed the steps to recover the BIOS from the EFI partition, but now the lights just flashed continuously.  Giving up again, I opened the bottom cover to see how much RAM was installed, and I saw that the upper stick was not fully seated.  Huh (again).  I seated it fully, then tried again, but now it was back to the CPU code.  On a whim, I removed it completely and holy $#!+, it booted!  It ran horribly slow with only 2 GB, and I wasn't sure if it was a fluke that it even booted, so I backed up everything before doing anything else. Then I started swapping sticks from another laptop being parted out, and eventually got it to boot reliably with one of the original 2 GB sticks and a 1 GB stick from the other laptop. 

I'd still like to get another 2 GB stick, but right now the wife is just happy that she has a functioning laptop again, so I am happy, too.

Had a dream that FS2 had some additional ridiculously-awesome character-based cutscenes and missions, one of which involved a Sathanas tearing up an entire fleet, another being on a primarily-Vasudan planet where a Sathanas was looming over the horizon (that part legit scared the **** out of me).  There was also something about helping clear rubble on said planet after the attack, with one of those fun shooting-the-**** scenes with other pilots.  That's about all I can remember, but it was one of those dreams where you wind up totally bummed after you figure out it wasn't real.

Confirmed the problem is in fact the connector and not the cord by causing a nice little pop and arc inside my laptop.  Power was definitely making it that far.  Now until I find a new one that isn't ****, I get single runs on the battery while having to balance/wedge the cord in a very exact position to recharge between uses.  Will try to break it open even further later, saw hints on the interwebz that there might be a screw I can tighten down that you have to take the mainboard out to access.  In the meantime, starting backups and cursory searches for decent laptops.

Anyone bought one recently that isn't crap?  Hell at this point I might even take one with windows 8 on it.

I think I got it.  I'm almost positive the stuff is actually gone, but the entry in add/remove programs remains.  It used to throw an error when trying to uninstall it, now it does absolutely nothing after having been nuked by several malware programs.  I think I can use CCleaner to get rid of that entry now, and a registry scan should get rid of any traces of it there if all the files and processes have in fact been killed.  The locations identified for the particular program via google are empty. 

I've used the Major Geeks malware forum before.  Their people and the tools they built took care of it easily.  But you absolutely MUST follow their detailed, customized directions for you.  Their tools are not for you to use on your own.

I had whooping cough when I was a few years old. It put me in mortal peril for a while, it was a constant struggle for existence for 3 or 4 months. A real battle of attrition. There was a constant vigil over me, and I had to sleep sat up propped up with 2 chairs for fear I would choke to death if I slept laid down. The school had every child in my class make get well cards for me, which was really sweet.

Well the larger problem is it's not just YOUR kids' lives.  Even if the other kids they interact with are vaccinated, their chance of catching a disease still goes up some if they are in the presence of someone who is actively contagious (sick or no), so not immunizing your own kids also raises the risk of the other children.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Post by: AdmiralRalwood on February 06, 2015, 06:50:03 pm
There are also some people who cannot get vaccinated (for various reasons; taking certain kinds of medication, having a compromised immune system, et cetera), and rely on herd immunity to avoid infection. Everyone who could get vaccinated that doesn't is taking away herd immunity for the people who couldn't get vaccinated even if they wanted to.

dream, cia operation, here I am basically some guy who's just taking some classes in digital animation but I'm rew=quested into some buildingof which an old "acquaintance" of mine was being held and interrogated for information. I was apparently an ex operative of which they required me for a mmission involving some old assets. The plan here was to get some contact down in south America to come up to the states on a drug deal, this fellow has some ties in with some pretty big fellas as well as being a pretty big fella himself. Also turns out that I've dealt with him in the past while undercover for a allied cartel or something hence why I was needed. I was a person he trusted
[5:03:17 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: anyhow, the task was to obtain a certain amount of money, but the amount of money was to be obtained through capturing some high value targets, guessing they were targets the cartel wanted out of the picture
[5:06:42 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: so myself and some other fellow hit the streets looking for these guys,. Upon finding them, it was apparently a gang, we ended up going into a chase. The weird part of this dream in that part was that before hand, I and my partner were running from a cop and to hide, we had put on some marathon numbers and stripped down naked. We were with the targets who also did the same. The cop moved on but not without passing me a bill fold filled with money and a message. This is when the targets drew guns in an attempt to rob us, so they tried to and ended up into a chase. Whatever right?
[5:07:36 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: we ran, causing some problems along the way (we were now clothed again)
[5:07:58 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: all were eventually caught, and
[5:08:25 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: this is where we were to then go down to south America and deliver these fellas at a party
[5:09:04 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: now, my person in the dream originally said that a week op is just risky and that there's hardly any good preparation to be done in a single week\but I went on the job anyways
[5:11:07 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: this is where Ana came into my dream as apparently I had already told her about a great deal of this and was somehow involved with her in some fashion? Not entirely sure, but I was explaining a great deal of what was happening as though to keep her in the know so as not to be completely pissed off at me for what I was doing. No iddea
[5:11:34 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: the even stranger part, is that the entire dream felt like a deja vu, while in the dream. Like I had the dream already before in the night
[5:11:41 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: weirdest ****ing feeling ever
[5:13:36 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: unfortunately, the previous dream of the same dream had more on thhe party but I can't seem to recall very well what it was, I just know that there was a great deal of talking with the boss guy and he sends me to Africa of which I was to meet up with a few people for drugs
[5:13:57 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: now, here, I had to dresss as the rebels did in order to get through their territory
[5:14:28 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: oh, and had to ditch my American passport so as not to be attacked or something?
[5:14:41 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: this makes sense in terms of how I was to travel back to the states
[5:14:45 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: later
[5:15:40 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: anyhow, I meet up with these militia types of which they knew I was coming, but the lower soldiers did not hence the precautions I needed to take in order to get there and meetup with them. We talked, I get the goods, and then it was back to getting home with the drugs and whatnot
[5:16:00 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: or were they diamonds? makes more sense to be diamonds since why would a cartel in the south needs drugs from Africa?
[5:17:11 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: so I make my way through some town ditching my outfit here and there in order to better chance myself to getting on a small plane towards some more civilized areas and thus, getting the required stuff to go back to the states of which the meet up with the cartel fellow was apparently taking place in a big city
[5:17:23 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: guessing new York, but it felt like liberty city from GTA
[5:17:52 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: funny thing though, my dream just now ends at the airport upon being attacked by a few unknown men, no idea what their connections was
[5:18:05 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: guessing they were sent there to kill me from either the cartel or the rival one
[5:18:39 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: but my other dream I had about the same thing, I got past this part and was back in the states
[5:18:56 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: after having killed the people who came after me, I was obviously on edge
[5:19:24 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: the plan was to hand off the goods which was now laced with explosives as a detonation was to happen. The deal was taking place on top of a roof
[5:19:49 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: upon arriving, there was a lot of muscle, and it ws just me and my partner
[5:20:01 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: cia support was elsewhere
[5:20:25 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: I was not to kill the big guy, as he was our target to catch and obtain information from
[5:20:37 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: why the hell we had such an elaborate plan to get him I have no idea
[5:20:46 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: main plothole in this whole thing as that was never explained
[5:20:51 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: why not just nab him at the party?
[5:21:22 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: suppose it was a matter of bringing him out of his comfort zone and into somewhere more easily caught, but who knows
[5:21:37 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: getting some conflict diamonds out of the circulation is a bonus\
[5:22:36 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: either way, we all get attacked and I end up grabbing the boss and jumping off the roof and basejumping towards saftey
[5:22:45 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: don't recall if the cia was the one attacking or not
[5:23:00 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: naturally the bomb in the case of diamonds explodes making coolness in my dream
[5:23:43 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: fighting all around as I move him to the cia safehouse under the guise of it just being my own for the fellas safety
[5:24:01 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: don't remember much else after that of the dream
[5:24:08 PM] Andrew "Deathfun" Allardyce: from there it's just filling in the blanks

Your dreams sound like fun :)
Recently all I've got is a Terminator-esque unstoppable hired gun going after me for reasons in a city that appeared to be be a mixture of the 5-6 places I've lived over the past 8 years, the age-old White Void Space dream, some weird-ass dream I don't remember anything but huge-ass spiders everywhere, which were actually quite friendly for a change (I think). I appeared to have gotten out of my zombie invasion craze from last year, so that's a good thing.

... Which makes me realize I apparently have a thing about being hunted by something(s) in dreams.

So my oldest brother, my oldest sister, and I all like movies. But the kind of movies my brother and I watch are radically different from the ones my sister likes. We tease eachother good-naturedly about it. Sis: oh, hi bro, I'm watching a movie. Me: have the leads said anything yet or are they too busy kissing? or Me: oh, hi sis, I'm watching a movie. Sis: did you know that every explosion you see kills a brain cell?

So the three of us made a dare: We'd show her Godzilla (2014) and she'd show us Pride and Prejudice (the four-hour version).

She actually though Godzilla was pretty good.

Last night we watched the first part of P&P, and within five minutes I was laughing my head off. And not it a "so bad it's good" manner either, but in a "these characters are brilliantly hilarious" manner! Seriously, Mr. Bennet is the king of snarkers.

Laptop won't charge at all now, no matter how I jiggle the cord.  Although new evidence suggests it may in fact be the cord, although I was previously convinced it is the power connector on the laptop.  Unfortunately have no way to test that beyond buying a new adapter, and these damn things cost close to a C note.

edit: apparently that's just physical stores.  online they seem much more reasonable at around $40.

Really sorry to hear that.  A close family member of mine has been on dialysis for more than a year and is on the transplant list.  If it's any consolation, after the initial shock, it's amazing how quickly everyone settles into the new normal.

I don't normally get preachy about things, but if anyone reading this isn't signed up to be an organ donor, please do it.  You can't take them with you anyway, and it could mean the world to someone in a desperate situation.

Cooking for the company chili cookoff Thursday.  Everything is in the hands of the Staub Dutch Oven now.  After spending all night rendering chuck roast, onions, garlic and Jalapenos in bacon fat, mortar and pestleing my own chili pods and cumin if this sucks I'll be one sad panda.

Post by: StarSlayer on February 17, 2015, 09:44:33 pm
No beans, bacon and chuck roast though :D 

Another half hour in the dutch oven then add some masa harina and bring up medium for 10 minutes.  Then its judgement time. 

I will say everything smelled amazing before the top went on.  The recipe called for 7 cups of water though which seemed weird, I assume it thickens during the cook and the masa harina gets it the rest of the way.

Post by: BirdofPrey on February 18, 2015, 12:04:12 am
It's always better to err on the side of caution of using a bit less, but making sure to check the water level and top it off.  Getting rid of excess water is an exercise in frustration and compromise and often involves throwing away flavor if it's more than just slightly too soupy.

It will thicken a bit with the masa, of course (has to boil at least a bit to activate the starches that thicken it up).

Same here, though it's for more research reasons.  I hear of a number of chili cookoffs where beans are seen as total heresy (ie. disqualification), but EVERYONE I know around here (Arizona) puts beans in them, and so do some from other states thus leaving me eternally confused (I figure it's like BBQ, everywhere you go, the way they do it everywhere else is WRONG)

Well it sat overnight in the Staub, I made myself a bowl when I got home from work while the rest went in the crock pot for transport tomorrow.  I think it came out pretty good, all that work toasting and grinding cumin seeds and chili pods was worth it.  Course the house smells like caramelized onions and bacon.

The recipe I chose was a non bean make but we get all kinds as far as competition.

Not entirely sure. Walked away for a couple minutes from the iron and came back to find it no longer heating. Tried replugging it in, resetting it, plugging it into a different (known-working) outlet, no dice.

Yeah, that's a harsh place to be.  I had that sort of problem when I was younger and on antidepressants (brain chemistry still isn't sorted, but I haven't taken anything for it for a while; luckily it's only a minor case of depression and was mainly exacerbated by the other drugs, and the ADD. . .

 It kind of annoys me when people pretend to understand, "Oh I was depressed once"  No asshole, you were't you were unhappy, maybe sad, but not depressed.

Anyways good news and bad news:
The bad news is my Grandmother died last week.  Not much to say aside from how much that sucks and that I cried.
The good news is I just noticed one of my (half dozen) student loans is only a couple hundred dollars off from being paid off.  If I can manage to pay off my other back fees with my tax return I may just jump the gun and drop the couple bills so there's less charges to keep track of. (seriously, I hate how Federal loans are handled, there's a subsidized and unsubsidized portion each of which is a separate loan, and you have to reapply each year, then after you graduate, the loan servicers sell the loans to others, so now I have to pay multiple companies multiple times)


On a side note, what are these friend things you talk about?

To play the other side here, you don't really know for sure that they weren't depressed at some point.  Maybe not as severely as you, but this isn't really a contest.  I've never sought professional help to be formally diagnosed, but I imagine I'd qualify as mildly depressed.

The way most people use the word though is as a synonym for being kind of down one day.  Being in a ****ty mood is not the same thing as being depressed.   I do understand other have varying severity if depression, I am talking about the people who seem to think all it is is being in a ****ty mood and tell me I should just cheer up as if it's that magically easy.

Of course these are also the same people who, when my insomnia is really bad, ask me if I've tried just sleeping.

These people are generally less annoying and more easily dealt with than if it's your father who is basically the one going "Sleep earlier, studies say computers make it harder to sleep, melatonin in the sun, etc". This is also why I don't talk to him about issues of the mind. Practical things sure, but as soon as the minds comes into play, his method of fixing the "problem" or my doing things "differently" is usually to skew things to suit the point he's trying to make. I had to go get my appendix removed, and he retorts with "this is your body rebelling against you" and spins it to a dietary/exercise thing

On the bright side, I'm up early now just like everyone wants me to be. Downside is now I have to nap at around 4, 5pm in order to make it through the day

Throat slitting is also a terrible way to go. Good to see you were able to find someone to stop you and that you're proceeding to do something about it

I am at the most terrifying point of my life.

Getting married? Congrats!

or... maybe its that time for colonoscopies  :nervous:
I wanted to cut my throat monday. Needless to say, I did not. I am not comfortable talking about it all on the internetz yet. I got someone to stop me and take me to get help tuesday. and now I gotta hold till next tuesday.

That's the super short lite diet zero calories version.
An4x, I don't know what is troubling you, but I did notice that your cheerful presence on the forum has been in short supply for numerous months now.

I wondered if perhaps you had looked at your own words (I spend too much time here.) and gone off to do other things with your time. But anyway, for what it's worth, I like having you around here, because you're cheerful and cheerfulness is in short supply around here imo. So I'm certainly glad you did not end your life, and I hope you get through whatever it is that troubles you and become your cheerful self again.

Good luck.

My life's latest adventure:

A while back I think I mentioned I was a janitor, emphasis now on was. My old boss, friendly old man, good guy to work for, retired. His replacement was a grumpy guy who kept yelling at us over pretty much everything, whether or not it was our fault. I gave him some time, but thing's didn't improve much, and having your job threatened every couple days was just too much stress to take, so I quit.

The good news is, an old buddy of mine from high school, who swings by every now and then to chat, works as a dishwasher at a high-class restaurant. The staff there is pretty tight-knit, and he was able to set up a job interview for me with the head of the kitchen staff. I show up punctually for the interview. Boss runs in, looking panicked:

"You're Mr. Baron, right? I've got a five-hundred person party upstairs, a three-hundred person fundraiser downstairs, dinner's about to be served and one of my dishwashers didn't show up! Let's see what you can do!" (The guy who didn't show up wasn't the buddy in question)

I'd call seven and a half hours of work a pretty good outcome for a job interview. I start full-time in the summer. Best part is, I won't have to be a dishwasher for very long; the boss is planning to train me as a waiter.

TLDR: Insanebaron the Janitor is gone. All hail Insanebaron the Waiter! :P

How To Apply For A Legal Change Of Name

Changing your name is an important decision that may have consequences or effects on your personal life and business matters. In most instances a legal change of name will change your birth record. Prior to completing a change of name application please ensure that you have read through the following points:

    For basic eligibility requirements for change of name
    For information on requesting waivers of parental consent
    Will my fingerprints have to be provided in order to successfully complete a change of name application?
    What is the required fee to apply for a change of name?
    For information on changing your name after marriage, reverting to a maiden surname or previous married name
    Fill out and print the online "Application for Change of Name". Typing your information directly on the form avoids the potential delays caused by misinterpreted handwriting. Any parts of the form you do not fill out online can be left blank and completed by hand after the form is printed.
    Pick up a copy in person at a Vital Statistics or Service BC office.

Application Requirements

    All applications must include completion of Parts 1 (a) and (b) by the applicant. This may be a person changing his/her own name or a parent applying to change his/her child's name.
    Surrender of all original birth certificates is required for each person born in Canada and changing a name legally. If born outside Canada, certified copies of immigration papers, permanent resident card or citizenship card.
    In addition to a birth certificate, a marriage certificate may be required plus proof of custody if a parent is applying to change a child's name without the other parent's consent.
    Advertising of your intent to legally change your name is no longer required.
    Individuals 18 years of age or older who are changing their names are required to have electronic fingerprints taken by the RCMP, or an RCMP-accredited affiliate. Fingerprinting officials collect a fee for taking fingerprints in addition to the criminal record check fee of $25, and provide a receipt upon payment. Include the original receipt or a certified copy with your application.
    All appropriate fees enclosed.

Should start the gathering of the caffeinated beverages with a fun fact about GTA San Andreas and the Hot Coffee aspect of it and start making lewd hints towards what you want from the... hot coffee... you're having right now

She'll interpret it as you loving coffee so much that you would have sex with her in a bathtub filled with coffee (I'm sure she'll be sweet enough to replace the sugar and the milk... well you can guess) which is an idea she totally wasn't expecting but is so out there that it'd be hilarious to try

So then you both start to fantasize about bathtub coffee sex and confuse every other patron in the cafe

The point is that it is neither unique to communism nor intrinsic to actual communism.  InsaneBaron obviously implied that he believed communism automatically and unequivocally meant restricting free speech.  I corrected him.  Hell, communism isn't even inherently totalitarian!

You're correct regarding considering different points of view. I'm not saying they don't have a right to speak. I'm pointing out that clinging to that (legitimate) right while out of power looks pretty bad when you suppress it while in power.



@Scotty: Fair enough, if a communist country that tolerates free speech ever comes in to existence, I'll stop criticizing communism on that grounds. Regarding totalitarianism, I'd say state control of all property is pretty totalitarian.

Communism doesn't mean state control of all property.  I feel like you've internalized this view of communism as everything that the Soviet Union did wrong and misattributed it to the underlying socio-economic base.  Common ownership of means of production, yes, but that's not an abolishment of personal property.

It's roughly the same (in terms of how wrong it is) to say that capitalism means that there is no public property or infrastructure.

Er, how about quoting a bit more context from that passage (found with all of 15 secs effort using a search engine)

(apologies for butchering the formatting)

Quote from: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/Manifesto.pdf
The distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products, that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few. 
In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.
We Communists have been reproached with the desire of abolishing the right of personally acquiring property as the fruit of a man’s own labour, which property is alleged to be the groundwork of all personal freedom, activity and independence.
Hard-won, self-acquired, self-earned property! Do you mean the property of petty artisan and of the small peasant, a form of property that preceded the bourgeois form? There is no need to abolish that; the development of industry has to a great extent already destroyed it, and is still destroying it daily.
Or do you mean the modern bourgeois private property?
But does wage-labour create any property for the labourer? Not a bit. It creates capital, i.e., that kind of property which exploits wage-labour, and which cannot increase except upon condition of begetting a new supply of wage-labour for fresh exploitation. Property, in its present form, is based on the antagonism of capital and wage labour. Let us examine both sides of this antagonism

Not that I agree much with Communism anyway, but still, lets not strawman their position! :)

The context is useful, but it simply reaffirms the point that I quoted.  Note that according to the Manifesto, it is not necessary to abolish non-bourgeois property because it has already been destroyed!

Follow the logic.  If neither the bourgeois nor the proletariat control private property, who then is left to control it?

Realize that the logic results from flawed assumptions.  If I build myself a shed, that is my personal property.  I built it, it is mine.  That's the kind of property that has 'already been destroyed'.

If I put my mark on something, my effort into something, my interest into something, it is mine and it is my personal property, according to that particular document.

A couple weeks ago I checked on bestbuy.com for the trade in value of a 3DS XL as I was considering buying the new one.  It said $80.  A little less than I was hoping for, but enough that I decided to go ahead and trade up.  Since nintendo has a ridiculous account system, had to buy the new one first.  I finally had time to go take the other one in today, with my single day off in the month-long span of 12s we're in.  Four dollars.

Wut?  Even the customer service dude was floored by that.  What the eff happened?  The first time I looked it up was already considerably after the release of the new one.  That shouldn't be the reason why.  The CS guy also looked up the trade in at gamestop for me and found $70 ($50 cash).  Teh fuk?  Gamestop does me little good.  I was going to use the trade-in for a laptop (whose price also rose $100 in that same time period).

And the shoe store I went to for new work boots that I desperately need had next to no stock due to some strike somewhere.  What a waste of a day off.

Well, Klaustrophobia, your first and second mistakes were thinking of bestbuy and gamestop, two notoriously unfriendly traders. What you'll want to use is Ebay or Amazon.

For ebay, you can sell and ship yourself as long as you have paypal, a printer, and a post office close enough. More work, but best return.
Amazon also has a trade-in program: https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/popovers/render-popover.html?ie=UTF8&name=howToTradeIn
It seems like it requires the same, except an Amazon account instead of paypal.

Can't help with the boots thing.

EDIT: Seriously, though, $4??? There are no situations where a functioning thing should be that little. Truly nuts. Even for a "good" condition, the online estimator says it's only $25. Pirates and thieves the lot of them!

Best Buy was the best offer I found, other than gamestop's $100 pre-order thing (that you can't transfer with, cuz you need both).  Even the indie used game stores around here were only going to pay like $55.  I really don't want to have to deal with selling it myself.  Might look into amazon.

Look at getting a pair of Duleth pigsuede boots. They've got some anti-some treads that work OK on foodservice flooring, and very good in the mud/wet sand.

There happens to be a small-time but very talented acting club/troupe/team/whatever in my town. A couple years back, a friend of mine from Church who's in it talked me and my sister into coming to see them do Les Miserables (which I thought was a tragedy about Spanish orphans- silly me :P ). I was blown away by it- both by the play itself and the troupe's skill and passion in presenting it.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I figured, "Hey, now that I've got more disposable income, I should go see these guys more often!" They were advertising "An Enemy of the People", by Henrik Ibsen. (The title is a little funny given the most recent set of shenanigans I mentioned here, but no connection). Basically, I didn't know what the play was about, but the teaser posters had me intrigued, so I went to see it last night.

Holy Cow. Every. American. NEEDS. To see this play.

EDIT: Oh, and be advised, wikipedia's "analysis" of the play has basically nothing to do with the play itself. It even makes up a quote that's not in the play. Wiki vandalism.

Had a most fantastic past week! Old friend of mine (who had disappeared for a while but finally reconnected with back in December) who had become a very good and close friend the past several months came up to visit from Washington (State). For a full week I had a partner in crime of which we went shooting, looking at gardening stuff (mostly plants), explored the market and ate poutine

It's a strange change of pace to wake up the next day after she had gone back to not see her next to you. Damn though, great week

Now I just need to finish updating my art whatever the crap and seeing if I can get accepted into the University program

Not sure why. Les Miserables isn't so much a "liberal" or "progressive" play as a story about the amount of good one man accomplishes when he gets a chance at redemption and takes it. AEotP deals with the dangers every democracy needs to guard against: government corruption and mob rule (both of which, I would argue, are pretty timely issues today.)

Les Miserables is a play (well, originally a novel) about the poor getting so sick of living in abject poverty, being ground down by uncaring and brutal authority that they stage a revolution which tragically fails. The protagonist is a good man who spends his life on the run from the law, which is only ever depicted as an agent of retributive suffering. This is not a conservative message!

Why does being conservative blind you to the sufferings of poor people? And why does being conservative mean you support the law no matter how bad it is? (I myself am not particularly happy with my current government anyway.) For that matter, why does everything need to be about American Politics? The book was written in the mid 1800s for goodness sake.

EDIT: by your logic I could claim Les Miserables to be a conservative play because Jean Valjean becomes a Christian and the bishop in the story is portrayed as very kind. It's not. It's neither. It's not a political tract, it's a play, and a really, really good one.

I could just as easily ask why you conflate sympathy for the poor with liberalism. I'm not sure if you caught my point: "The protagonist is Christian, so the book's conservative" is a silly argument, but so is "the book sympathizes with the poor against a corrupt government, so it's liberal."

What politics the story has have little to do with current American politics. Hugo believes that a specific revolution, 200 years ago in France, was justified, and he may well be right, but claiming Les Mis as an argument for modern American liberalism is borderline hijacking. What IS relevant today are the morals of the story- courage, self-sacrifice, forgiveness, redemption. None of which are limited to one side of the political spectrum.

Well that's just getting back to my original point, which is that you don't see any of the obvious and timeless parallels to the world you live in. There are people in America today living in wretched, inescapable poverty. There are people in America today who have had their future cut short because that poverty brought them into conflict with the law. There are people in America today who have risen up in violence because of this. These things have not fundamentally changed.

Precisely. Agreed, there are people in such difficult scrapes in America, and agreed, a lot of them are innocent people who deserve a helping hand, and agreed, sympathy for such people is one of the timeless moral lessons of Les Miserables. But making the timeless moral lesson into a one-sided political tract for a modern political conflict doesn't make any more sense than claiming that because the play takes a positive view of Christianity, it should be seen as a tract for modern American conservatism. You might as well ask whether Jaws is an argument Obama or Romney.

I think someone's got a weather machine near me and is playing around with it.

I was looking out of the window and treated to the unusual sight of a bright blue sky and snowfall. It only lasted a few seconds. Then some light rain a few seconds after that. Now just a few minutes later, all the blue has been obliterated by dark grey, a heavy wind has whipped up and heavy hail falling, and now as I type the wind and the hail have stopped and it's already starting to brighten up, the sun is shining and the snow is falling again. And just like before the snow lasted a matter of seconds.

Came to my family's home to find my littlest sister crying because she missed her chance to see Cinderella in theaters- not sure what happened but some of the others went without her. "Why don't we take her to a later showing?" I ask. Well, turns out everyone else is either sick or busy that night. Little Sis starts crying again- she'd been looking forward to Cinderella for months. "Okay, Okay, I'll take you!" I say. Well, we go to the theater, and turns out the only showing left is the Midnight showing (how many theaters even have that?). Little Sis looks at me pleadingly. "Okay, you win! Just paint a black zigzag on my sweater and be done with it!"

How do I get myself into these things... :P

So we went. I don't have much of a taste for that genre, but artistically it was very well done, so I still give it a thumbs up. A massive improvement on the rather preposterous animated one (which, yes, I've seen, I grew up with sisters for crying out loud!)

Ah yes, the sound of grinding, crunching bits of tooth, and a subtle smell of smoke.  Fun time all around!

Daughter was sleep walking again.  We've established a "truce" between us parents and the kids where they do not invade our bed, but we've set up an air mattress at the foot of our bed that they can come sleep in if they wake up scared in the middle of the night.  I hear the girl trudging and fumbling about in the middle of the night trying to tuck herself into the air mattress.  I ask her if she's ok and if she has brother with her.  I get some kind of confused mumble back, so I ask again, no answer.

This morning, I ask if she remembers waking up and coming to our room last night.  Nope.

Anyway.  This is starting to feel like a two-cups-of-coffee morning.  I'm dead tired.

Not quite that bad, but they did burrow into the air filter, which I guess eventually broke apart enough to get sucked into places it shouldn't have.  The car went kaput right as I was turning onto a major 4-lane divided roadway, and of course because no one out there pays attention to anything someone wound up rear-ending someone else just behind me.  Fortunately I escaped that part of it, but this was bad enough.

[vrets life story]

Last quarter of college, spent entire weekend studying for midterm valued at 40% of my overall grade in the class. I'll survive but there's a lot of stress. The pressure is on, because I have had a job lined up for the past 6 months. I start work when and IF I graduate; at least technically, the position is contingent on my graduation, which seems fairly contingent on passing this apocalypse midterm. It's like the university's last chance to screw me over (or giving me one last chance to screw myself over?).

Hey guys, I'm going to California and road tripping from LAX to Salem in Oregon over the course of about 2 weeks this July. I know I haven't posted here in yonks, but FS has always had a special place in my heart, and despite the fact I look like a fratboy these days, I'm still a huge nerd at heart. Would anyone be keen to chill and LAN some Freespace during that time, and live kind of along that route? Worth starting a thread to see who's interested? I'm definitely planning to hit up San Francisco if anyone's there. If Freespace LANs aren't on the cards, I'm just down to chill out and shoot the **** with any other interested people.

NB: I'm an Aussie and my knowledge of US geography is ****ing ****e.

About two months ago, we found numerous squirrel corpses in the pool, I told her we should drain the pool since we haven't used it in years but she sort of ignored me. Then, cut to earlier, I realize that I haven't seen this cat in over a day, which is odd for him. I went out on the front porch to look for him, another one of our cats was on the deck near the pool, he started coming over to me. Then while walking on the side of the pool about halfway, he looked at something in the pool and stopped. That's when I realized that the other cat had probably been walking along the side of the pool and fallen in. Surely enough, I got the pool net, pulled a mass I saw in the pool towards me, and found the body of said cat. My mother's excuse for not draining the pool? "There's no hole at the bottom." ****ing idiot.

Now I most want to get away from her even more, but poverty has sort of outplayed me.

I knew this would happen too. I was just thinking about a couple of weeks ago about how likely this sort of thing was to happen.

So, in essence, Scourge, you are saying to increase the energy efficiency of a device, you use two batteries instead of just one. Brilliant! :D

Anywho.

A battery and a capacitor are the pretty much the same thing functionally when talking about DC energy storage. Capacitors are more likely to allow quick/instantaneous discharge than some batteries (depending on the chemistry of the battery) but often cannot hold a whole of charge.

The only reason you'd possibly use a combination of battery and capacitor for a device is if you had a power supply system that had a different voltage output (capacitor side) than its input voltage (battery side).

Most power supplies contain capacitors.  Their purpose is smoothing out voltage variations.  Said voltage variations are caused because AC current is a sine wave.  (even switched mode power supplies have a harmonic generated by the switching)

Er... no. Capacitors and batteries are used for very different purposes. Capacitors aren't really used to store energy the way batteries are; they're used as buffers for moving energy around quickly. A decent but still risky analogy is that batteries are hard disks, capacitors are RAM.

I'm just being a bit of a pedant here with your responses. :P It's true there's a capacitor (or set of them) on the output side of a power supply, but the AC line still needs to be rectified or else you'd still get an AC output.

Realistically (with the self discharge losses) capacitors and batteries are used differently. But ideally (without the self discharge losses) the only thing different between a capacitor and a battery would be in its construction. After all, a voltaic pile is still a bunch of plates with something stuck in between them :P

No, not really. Batteries and capacitors are very different on just about every level except that they both store electrical energy.

Alright, how are they different?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Post by: Phantom Hoover on May 19, 2015, 02:59:31 pm
I'm no expert, but internally they store the energy differently (batteries use chemical reactions which may be irreversible, capacitors use charge separation) and they consequently have a different quantitative relationship between things like stored energy and voltage.

Well, like what circuits they are commonly employed in and what things you can do with one, but shouldn't/can't do with the other.

Post by: Phantom Hoover on May 19, 2015, 04:05:40 pm
I mean, you'd be better off asking what you can do with either. Your average piece of consumer electronics contains a big battery or two to store the energy that powers it, and anywhere from a dozen to hundreds of capacitors used for things like signal processing and circuit logic.

Post by: z64555 on May 19, 2015, 05:00:40 pm
I think we just encountered a loop here.  :lol:

But yeah, batteries and capacitors are used differently and are thus optimized to fit their use case. My opinion is that you *can* use a battery in place of a capacitor, and vice versa, but don't expect the swap to work well.

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Post by: Phantom Hoover on May 19, 2015, 05:06:41 pm
But you really can't! You can use a capacitor in a circuit to block DC current but allow AC current through; this wouldn't work at all if you used a battery instead.

Got a bike? Just stick it on and go for a time-lapse ride around town. Stick it on the window and do a time-lapse of a day or along exposure of a night sky.

No bike.  There's not much here worth doing a driving time lapse for.  I'll try to keep that in mind for road trips though.  Night sky isn't a bad idea though.  I have this week off, now I'm thinking I get out to the beach and get a sunrise time lapse. 

Of course, now this will all necessitate learning how to edit.  Never done a lick of it outside of extremely basic (like, cropping and auto-contrasting) single images.  First task is going to be trying to sync up one of the bass videos with the track (audio capture is horrid, especially when mounted to the bass).  Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous I'll try to cut in different angles.

After watching a few videos of myself playing bass.... god I'm WAY worse than I thought.  My rhythm always sounds pretty damn close to right on when I'm playing, but jesus does it look sloppy and unsteady as **** in the videos.  I think my internal musical brain is locked on to the groove and overriding what my hands are telling it.  Also my technique is just so stupidly big and inefficient, but it still seems to feel right and I can't make myself clean it up even now that I'm thinking about it while playing.

Just pulled a second double-shift with the current company I am employed with. Employee who was scheduled to relieve me neither showed up nor called, nor responded to my message politely reminding them that they were scheduled to come in. Naturally, since it was graduation night for just about every ****ing highschool in Texas, both the store manager and the deli manager were on vacation time to attend their corresponding relatives' graduations. Bully for them, except, Nobody else was available to sub in that night because (surprise surprise) everybody had their own goddamn plans for the night (and 2 of them were graduating!)

I've already announced my resignation at the end of December, but with **** like this happening I'm going to be bumping that up for each bull-headed mistake these two make (I'll start with bumping up to August).

Myself and a very lovely gal I know are slowly but surely becoming much more intimate as the days pass
Significantly better adjusted than the previous "best friend" of mine and a whole helluva lot better

Also applied for another course for digital animation, hoping that pans out for the better. Previous one didn't, unless they're timidly holding onto it for whatever reason. Meh.



As for that copter that flies and ****, I would totally take that and fly it over a propane tank which has a roadflare and is about to get shot. The footage of that would be... absolutely explosive. It would set fire to my heart as I watch in complete awe

Would also totally attach balloons to it for moving target practice

Not sure where I could do either of that safely yet though. Need more rain dammit.

Quite a few alternatives have gps and or smart subject tracking already.  And 500 feet is amazing for bird's-eye and landscape photography. I'm experienced with most photography from studio to crufts and college too. Action cams are good and all that,  drones are great and I recently had a good go at aerial  videography not far from my home in the lake district and I'm not knocking them at all, but this individual model seems gimmicky by removing the finer control from the end user. At least aperture control should be available. Or an offset from subject with focal lock.

The closest my school came to that was you could register for classes at the local technical institute for high school credits, but they did vocational education, blue collar type stuff.  I graduated 8 years ago, though; things change.

It's funny, the make up classes they offered at my school were all computerized, I wish they offered those as the actual classes, I could have graduated in a couple months with a 4.0 and more credits than I knew what to do with, instead I was stuck trying to decide whether I wanted that one AP course or the equally interesting elective that occupied the same slot on the schedule.

Oh well, **** happens, we move on.
Congratulations on your achievements.

So anyways, I've been musing a bit lately, One of the people I play EvE online with says, "So it goes," with extreme frequency, and the guy on a youtube channel I watch has "Whatchacallit" as his personal version of "um"

I dunno, most of the PhDs I know have finished their doctorate within 3 or 4 years. It probably varies with the academic culture from place to place (and field to field); I suspect the ratrace for tenure varies less.

Try six or seven, then a couple years of postdoc, then (if you're really lucky) an associate professor's job with a chance at tenure after a few years to a couple decades of cockfighting and backstabbing.

Is there an insider's blog or something where I can go to read hateful stories of byzantine academic treachery?

All those people losing their collective ****s over the fact that GTA V isn't on sale (by itself) on Steam right now are making me want to stab a *****
You can get the game by itself for the respective price, or you could the game and another game for the same price as just the one game

What the **** are you complaining about people? The fact they decided not to put their game on sale? THEY'RE PERMITTED TO DO THAT
I see everyone yelling and complaining at Rockstar because they decided to make the executive decision to give players a technically discounted offer which gets them ingame currency, and Max Payne 3 (or San Andreas)

This same deal, was available in January as a pre-order bonus

I laugh though, because I got GTA V from the Rockstar Warehouse. My discount for doing so was 16.5% because on the Rockstar Warehouse, physical or digital copies sell for 10$ less than their Steam counterpart. You want a sale? You want to pay less for a game? Buy from there. Stop complaining about the lack of a sale on a game you wanted to go on sale

Just because there's a Steam Sale, does not mean a developer needs to put their game on sale. Rockstar could've just left things as is, no bundle deals or anything. People probably would've lost their collective ****s anyways, but more so because hurr durr, no sale

I consider the bundle deals a great way to give back to those who didn't get the preorder chance at having an additional game to add to their collection

Rant over

A few things. One, misleading advertising. If I see GTA V advertised with a 25% off sticker, I am going to assume I'll be able to get the base game at a discount, not some bundle.
Two, Bundles are not always refundable under Steam's refund rules. This is admittedly something Steam needs to address, not Rockstar.

Now, I am not going to argue that those bundles aren't good value. I have no way of answering that. The deal they're offering is completely above-board and all that, but it is smelly, if you catch my meaning. See also: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/06/12/grand-theft-auto-v-steam-summer-sale/

Looks like I won in the the OPM hack.  (Odds of winning: 1 in 1.  Although they won't come right out and say it, EVERYONE'S records were "potentially" compromised.  4 million records, 2.7 million federal employees.  The only question should have been how far back the "previous employee" leaked records went.)   This notification arrived in my junk email folder flagged as phishing because the government is STILL ****ing this up and sending out the notifications unencrypted and not digitally signed (****ing lunch invitations get that treatment around here).  I only know it WASN'T really a phishing attempt because of the email from the admiral telling us OPM ****ed it up and was going to take down the credit monitoring website and stop sending the notifications until they figure out how the hell the internet works.

In order to sign up for the credit monitoring, I have to give up far more info that was ever compromised to a private company, so I'll be passing on that.  From what I understand so far (and it's entirely possible they've told us wrong) the identity theft insurance/restoration services are automatic.  I think I'll just deal with the small chance of it actually happening to me instead of giving literally EVERYTHING to some company that contracted with the government to sit in yet another server ready to be leaked.  In theory they are supposed to fix it for me if it does happen.

Also, there are about to be (already are) lawsuits out the ASS over this.  No sense in trying to sort it all out before everything changes again.

I will admit, the fact that the breakdowns show GTA V standalone as some 80$ is annoying, but I chalked the breakdown up as an error in the way Steam displays the breakdown, not an error on Rockstar's part

Which is the main thing the rockpapershotgun article was pointing out as being scummy.

Overall, I just took a look, read things thoroughly, and came to the conclusion that they're just giving the preorder bonus to those who didn't preorder, and had to do a work around in order to do it. That to me, is being decent to your players. The work around just borked the ways things display, fault on Steam's breakdown for not showing the cash card

But, still, get it 10$ less from their Rockstar Warehouse (and you still get the preorder bonus with a physical copy). No one on Steam seems to acknowledge its existence and it annoys me

A union group has already filed (or said they were going to, I'm not sure which) over the fact that the compensation (18 months of credit monitoring and insurance) weren't negotiated.  I expect more to follow.  I'll be very surprised if one doesn't come up about how they delayed notifying us for more than a month after they knew (and even then it came from the news, not from them).

Hey, all I can think of when I hear that is this oldies thing about "I got the walking pneumonia and the boogie-woogie flu".

Apparently "walking" in this case is similar to its use in "walking wounded"; you have a lung/respiratory infection but it is not so severe as to require hospitalization.

Unfortunately most of my college experience WAS classes. 

It's funny that the little, completely inconsequential things like eating at the dining hall, walking down the sidewalk, or sitting in the library late at night are the things I miss the most.  I think it's really about how un-structured my life was then.  Other than the 15 or so hours of class a week, I was free to do whatever I wanted, when I wanted. 

Now I work 10 hour shifts usually 6 days a week. :/  I don't want to adult.

13.5 hour workday due to shipyard medical appointment that moved at the speed of navy healthcare.  Then had to drop my car off for maintenance and walk home.  Because it's godawful hot outside (106 heat index (that's 41C for you metric types (yes, I know Celsius isn't metric but they tend to go together))) , stopped at the McDonald's along the way to cool off and get some lunch.  Therein I had to fend off a creepy middle aged woman who was looking for a sugar daddy.  At the McDonalds.  And because I'm a very polite person IRL, I had a long and very awkward conversation with her.  The McDonald's staff asked if I was in duress when I went up for a refill.

Another routine maintenance, another several hundred dollar surprise repair bill.  Small hope that it's under warranty from a previous repair, but this involves taking it from the shop to the dealer and back again.  Already going on 3 days carless.  Maybe the dealer will throw a loaner at me.  Either they grossly ****ed up the repair, or I'm going to be paying them several hundred dollars if it's something different.  Both of those should be good for a courtesy car for a day right?

Also, I just made my first (and hopefully only) ever social media rant (unrelated to car, but perhaps due in small part to the bad mood it put me in).  Some ****head(s) started a 'story' about radiation from Fukushima mutating dandelions and attached a photo of some deformed ones from goddamn 2010 as proof.  Now this **** is trending/going viral.  I'm actually surprised by the amount of intelligent comments, but that's a pretty weak silver lining.  It's escaped into the wild of the internet.  All of us here know that no amount of rational thought and calm debunking will stop the internet at large from running wild with it.  As demonstrated by the OTHER half of the comments, which I can objectively say contain the absolute STUPIDEST comments I've ever seen on the internet.

As I said in my rant there, PLEASE don't help this garbage spread by sharing or reposting it.  Even to deride it.  The people responsible know it doesn't matter if the meat of repost is calling them out.  All they need is to get the headline and photo under as many eyes as possible, and it's a net win for them.

UAC's a great idea! "How can we make our operating system more strict about giving programs permissions? I know! We'll train users to click the 'run with admin privileges' button without thinking!"

Honestly.  After install I changed my main account to a standard user, because that's what good little secure users do, and now I'm getting six goddamn UAC password prompts every time I start up for the various mobo/GPU utilities I installed.  Not to mention that the Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility can't even run on a non-administrator account.  I thought 7 was supposed to have tuned down most of this bull**** from Vista, but apparently not.  Honestly I'm on the verge of just converting my account back to an administrator, security risks be damned, because I don't want to deal with this nonsense.

Oh, and the best part is when it makes you type in the admin password just to delete a ****ing shortcut from the desktop, because it was something that happened to be installed for all users.

(And yes, I looked up ways to eliminate UAC prompts, which include dealing with scheduled tasks and/or downloading some sort of MS compatibility utility, but the point remains that I shouldn't have to.)

Someone (Symantec? McAfee?) actually made a useful utility like this for Vista, but it didn't work for 7.  Instead of the normal UAC prompt, you got one with an additional option to stop prompts for that program.  If I could find something like that for 7 I would enable UAC again, as my kids tend to click on things they shouldn't.

My mother was staying with us for a few days. She chose not to lock her car.

This guy (http://t.co/gNdx7pDdgV) made a mess of tissues and papers.. and, luckily, my mother left nothing of value in her car. He then tries my car and my wife's car (both locked) and walks off.

The cops scolded my mother for not locking her car and didn't file a report. Crazy.

Might want to clean up the PSU while you're in there, that fan shouldn't be making any major vibration. I'm thinking some dirt or gunk might've built up on the fan, nocking off its balance enough. Or, less optimistically, it could be your fan's bearings going out.

As it turned out and I kind of figured, the noise wasn't from the PSU itself, but from the pull-out dust filter on the bottom of the case directly below it.  The thing's made of fairly-thin plastic, and I guess the vibrations from the PSU's normal operation were enough to hit its resonant frequency.  Fiddling with it for a bit shut it up.

It's definitely some kind of hardware issue. The computer freezes so hard that the reset button doesn't even work...I have to pull the power.

I'm only home (and awake) for 3-4 hours per day so whatever the problem is, I just have to live with it until it burns down my house or fails completely.

So I have a very interesting issue with my computer. At first, I thought I had a virus, allowing someone remote access to my computer, due to the symptoms.

The symptoms are, randomly, so far about once a day, while I'm typing or using the computer, I will suddenly have my windows all un-maximize, random left-clicks of my mouse occur, and then, the nearest text field is selected and the words "When I Die" will be typed out, letter by letter. It's frankly kind of creepy, and I've run multiple scans for rootkits/malware/viruses. Lastly, this just happened again while my computer was unplugged from the internet, so it must be some sort of command happening from my computer and not a remote access of someone gaining control and typing it out.

The last odd thing, is every time it types out "When I die" it spells the word "die" wrong, and backspaces, corrects it, and then nothing else happens. Sort of like it's repeating a recorded set of actions. It's just a really odd and strange thing for my computer to type out.

Or, the last possibility, is I'm just really, really haunted.

Interesting. I'll poke around and see if anything in there seems off, but I'm not really sure what I'll be looking for. Still thinking I might just be severely haunted.

EDIT: Well, it turns out it was 3 keyboard macros. With huge delays and multiple firings. I removed a virus last week, and I bet the virus did the macros, and even though I killed the virus, the macros remained. Huh. I was so convinced it was some sort of remote-access at first that I never thought to check one of the easiest ways to make my PC do weird stuff.

I have been following some of the build threads on here with interest, as I have been trying to save up for a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM to replace my Core 2 Duo and DDR2.  I had been looking at an LGA1150 setup, with an i5-4690, 8 GB Corsair DDR3, and an MSI Z97 mobo, for about $375 on Newegg.  But then Skylake came out with a different pin arrangement - LGA1151, so I am starting over on my research.  Right now, for about $40 more, I could get an i5-6600K, Z170 mobo, and 8GB DDR4.  I read that there will be other LGA1151 motherboards with lower-end chipsets available after August 30, so by the time I have saved up another couple hundred $ and get serious about this there should be even cheaper alternatives.  Plus by then there should be some reviews and such online, and the current CPU availability issues should be resolved.

I've been listening to the Machine of Death podcast; an audio version of stories from the book Machine of Death. If you've never heard of such a thing, I will copy here the introduction to the series:

Quote from: machineofdeath.net
    The machine had been invented a few years ago: a machine that could tell, from just a sample of your blood, how you were going to die. It didn’t give you the date and it didn’t give you specifics. It just spat out a sliver of paper upon which were printed, in careful block letters, the words DROWNED or CANCER or OLD AGE or CHOKED ON A HANDFUL OF POPCORN. It let people know how they were going to die.

    The problem with the machine is that nobody really knew how it worked, which wouldn’t actually have been that much of a problem if the machine worked as well as we wished it would. But the machine was frustratingly vague in its predictions: dark, and seemingly delighting in the ambiguities of language. OLD AGE, it had already turned out, could mean either dying of natural causes, or shot by a bedridden man in a botched home invasion. The machine captured that old-world sense of irony in death — you can know how it’s going to happen, but you’ll still be surprised when it does.

    The realization that we could now know how we were going to die had changed the world: people became at once less fearful and more afraid. There’s no reason not to go skydiving if you know your sliver of paper says BURIED ALIVE. The realization that these predictions seemed to revel in turnabout and surprise put a damper on things. It made the predictions more sinister –yes, if you were going to be buried alive you weren’t going to be electrocuted in the bathtub, but what if in skydiving you landed in a gravel pit? What if you were buried alive not in dirt but in something else? And would being caught in a collapsing building count as being buried alive? For every possibility the machine closed, it seemed to open several more, with varying degrees of plausibility.

    By that time, of course, the machine had been reverse engineered and duplicated, its internal workings being rather simple to construct, given our example. And yes, we found out that its predictions weren’t as straightforward as they seemed upon initial discovery at about the same time as everyone else did. We tested it before announcing it to the world, but testing took time — too much, since we had to wait for people to die. After four years had gone by and three people died as the machine predicted, we shipped it out the door. There were now machines in every doctor’s office and in booths at the mall. You could pay someone or you could probably get it done for free, but the result was the same no matter what machine you went to. They were, at least, consistent.

And I will now link to the list of audio versions of the stories:
http://machineofdeath.net/about/podcast
Most of them are 20-40 minutes long, and very well worth listening to.

And I will now quote, in it's entirety, one of my favorite stories. It is entitled, "HIV INFECTION FROM MACHINE OF DEATH NEEDLE" by Brian Quinlan

So after arriving back on Campus, I decided to swing by my favorite local restaurant for an early lunch. It's a nice little place, with a big black guy named Doug who takes your order an then wants to hear about your classes and family while he's cooking it, where the burgers are big and meaty and put Micky D's to shame, where the chicken bites (don't call them "nuggets" around Doug) are twice as big as what you get at a fast food chain and are actually filled with hot chicken meat, and, best of all, you can dip 'em in Doug's preposterously strong homemade hotsauce. And that's to say nothing of Nick and Veronica, who run the coffee counter and will make you coffee to order, fresh, and strong- they've won an award for their Mocha, which a lot of students call "sanity maintenance fluid"). Oh, and before I forget, their chairs are comfy.

I get there, and find out that the place got bought by a big restaurant chain.  :(

Why are PCs like air conditioners? They stop working properly if you open Windows!

If Windows is the solution, can we please have the problem back?

How many Microsoft programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? None. Bill Gates will just redefine Darkness(TM) as the new industry standard.

Microsoft is not the answer - Microsoft is the question and "No" is the answer!

What if Bill Gates had a dime for every time Windows Vista crashed... Oh, wait a minute, he already does!

What's the difference between a virus and windows? Viruses rarely fail.

Windows: Just another pain in the glass

Windows: The Gates of hell

Who the **** is General Failure? And why is he reading my harddisk?

If Microsoft manufactured cars, every time they repainted the lines on the roads you’d have to buy a new car.

How did Microsoft break Volkswagen's world record? Volkswagen only made 22 million bugs!

What's the difference between windows 95 and highly destructive unstoppable virus? About 90 Megs of hard disk space.

Trying to convert over to my new 500 GB SSD.  Samsung's data migration software is terribad.  It says I need an additional 52 GB of space, even though I'm already about 40 GB under the drive size.  The cloning software is trying to let me exclude files, but only media files that it scans for.  I can tell it to scan specific folders, but I can't just select a damn folder to exclude.  That's just common goddamn sense.  Who the hell designed this?  That must have been harder to implement than just letting me select my own goddamn files and folders.  I have a 62 GB music folder, but only about 2 GB of that are detected and exclude-able with this POS software.  Likewise for pictures.  And god knows what this is going to do to the file structure.  Just leave a bunch of empty folders?  Just throw everything that wasn't excluded into one pile?  Also, It keeps freezing and hanging.

Someone please tell me a better way to do this.

My computer is pissing me off.  Moved a ****load of files around my disks that I'll have to move again after setting up the SSD to get under the arbitrary size limit.  Cloning failed anyway.  Googling error code comes up empty.  Firefox is ****ing up when opening links.  About half the time it just shows a blank page.  Have to copy the address bar, close at least that window/tab (sometimes all of firefox) and paste it into a newly opened window.  Refreshing firefox did not fix it, and caused me to lose some data in the process.  First started happening two updates ago I believe.  And finally, I can't delete the goddamn windows folder off of my oldest drive that was cloned onto the newer SSHD (that I'm now trying to get onto the SSD).  Originally it said I needed permission from "TrustedInstaller" to do it, which honestly at first sounds like malware infected me.  Google told me how to take ownership of the folder.  All that accomplished is that I now need 'permission' from my damn self (the account I'm currently fking running and the only one on the computer) to delete it.  I made sure I gave my account (and everything else just to make sure) full permissions, but that didn't help.

Goddamnit.  Go die in a fire Microsoft, Samsung and Mozilla.

Honestly it sounds like you'd be better off just starting off fresh with the SSD and copying stuff over manually (provided you can get the rest of the stuff working properly anyway).  I did a fresh OS install on my Samsung SSD and didn't have any issues whatsoever.  (Well actually it installed the system reserved partition on a separate HDD because I was dumb, but I figured out how to completely ditch that eventually.)

Post by: Klaustrophobia on September 03, 2015, 07:36:20 pm
That's going to be a giant pain in the ass that I don't want.  This install has spent 5 years getting slowly tweaked and set up to where it is now, and it would drive me nuts to ditch all of that.  There's stuff I have installed that I'm not sure I'd ever be able to get back.  All kinds of mods, patches and tweaks from every dark corner of the internet I'd never be able to find again.  And stuff like my creative drivers that took days to get working, and I never knew how I finally managed it.  Half of the point of getting the SSD for me was that it shouldn't matter if it's not a fresh, neat install to a clean drive.

Finally got the SSD up and running.  Now to figure out the best way to install and run games and other large programs from the HDD.  Haven't decided yet if I want to try to move the games I left installed before the clone over to the HDD at this point.  Does simply running programs on an SSD create wear, or is it mainly just writing to it?


And HOLY **** firefox is pissing me off with these damn blank pages.  Glad I have pale moon now.

$50.  In the form of 'Earn Store' credit.  Wherein one finds such things as T-shirts and lunch bags with the shipyard logo on them.  They do have one legitimately nice thing, a Leatherman.  It's $65.  No, I can't pay the difference in cash.

I feel valued.  Oh wait, there was that 4 hours of leave they gave me for something else non-specific a while back too.

I'm back!  On September 7, I broke my left fibula and tibia.  Not a compound fracture, but close - the bone damaged the underside of the skin.  I was hurling something, and as I twisted I lost my balance.  I threw my left leg out and heard a snap, and when I looked down my foot was sticking out at about a 60 degree angle from vertical.  My first broken bones, and my first ambulance ride!  They did two surgeries that day, including installing plates and 19 screws, and I got to come home from the hospital late Friday night.  I have to keep my leg elevated most of the time and can't put any weight on it for 6 weeks.  I had no idea how exhausting it is to use a walker.  At least I have decent insurance, and my job is secure, with paid leave.  Gonna put a hold though on adding to my new PC fund - I don't see me talking the wife into dropping in a few bucks a week, since to her this 2008 build is just fine!  :)

Today is the fist time I have sat down at my desktop since before the injury.   I had hoped to get in a round or two of freespace, but I have to sit at a 90 degree angle ot the desk cuz my foot won't fit under, so I guess no games for a while.  I've probably sat here long enough anyway today.

So I needed to scan some documents today, haven't used my scanner in like 6 months.
Grab one of my SD Cards, scan, and save to SD.
Plug it into my SD->USB converter, plug into PC. Doesn't show up.
Hmm...Do a little digging, can't find it, PC hasn't registered it.
Figure the printer must have screwed it up.
Pulled SD out of converter, notice it is warm. Disregard this because I'm stupid.

^ repeat the above process 4 times until you've fried 4 SD cards of various sizes and transfer speeds(16GB, 32GB, 32GB, 16GB) before realizing your SD->usb converter is busted.

Welp, managed to minorly stab myself in the hand with one of the new knives.  Turns out that one needs two hands to safely close.  Really stiff opening spring.  Confirmed it's actually a good quality sharp blade at least.  Was worried based on how cheap it was. 

So does Neosporin ACTUALLY expire?  Because I just used some with a date of 11/93.

I think they just put that on there in case it does expire, so they won't be liable. Still though, maybe pick up some fresh stuff?

I just started a new job. It's electrical work, I'm an official apprentice! The downside is that my first job is in the middle of the desert, and 10-hour work days. My feet are killing me, and my legs are chafing. Otherwise, I'm happy to have a real job, finally!

Somehow my sound card settings all got reset.  This is like the 5th time this has happened, and it's really starting to piss me off.  And because creative has literally the worst drivers on earth, it takes several minutes just to move from one screen to the next and the settings themselves are very poorly implemented in windows 7.  It's going to take weeks to get back to the perfectly balanced sound I had before.  At least it looks like I won't have to play the reinstall game again this time. 

It really makes me sad that kickass standalone sound cards built around music/home theater aren't really a thing anymore.  Onboard sound may be better now that it was before, but it's still a damn far cry away from my getting close to decade old XtremeMusic.  Every time I've looked recently all I see is ones boasting about how good they are for headphones, and most don't even have the standard three-prong 5.1 PC speaker connections despite claiming 7.1 support.  I've yet to figure out how they do that with a single output jack.

A rather deep observation that's kind of related to several recent discussions, from a friend of mine.

Quote
Pushing the limit of what you can do is natural human behavior. Walk to the edge of a building, and it's there, always. The urge to jump. You can grab something. You can reach the next one. People skydive. They wirewalk. They go whitewater rafting. They pit their reflexes and skills against each other in numerous ways. Find your limits, surpass them. It's a fundamental biological drive.

Sexuality occupies a weird space in our lives viewed in this way. Your limits, as you perceive them, are for most people far short of any kind of real physical danger to you. It's very close to the only physical activity this is true of. You're far more likely to get killed hiking or bluewater kayaking than you are doing anything sexual. The limits on sexual activities most people have are almost purely mental, and usually imposed socially. From a physical standpoint, leaving aside possible social consequences and logistical difficulties and trust issues, it is easier than almost any other activity for you to find your limit and transcend. This is especially true for women.

Yet despite (or even because) the resulting issues being all in our heads it's by far the most intimidating, and the push-the-limits activity most likely to cause you serious consequences if others know you've pursued it. Again, especially true for women.

It's a stupid world we live in. Of course, if it wasn't stupid then we'd have no activity where you could feel like you're pushing to the breaking point and yet really be nowhere near it.

Went and shot quite a few different handguns today.  Several 9mm and a couple .45s.  Found out that despite its fairly iconic status, the M9 Beretta (or whatever it's called in the civilian world) isn't terribly great.  I shot substantially worse with it than any of the other 9mms.  Really the only thing it outshot was a questionably maintained 1911.  Apparently I did quite well overall.  The range officer was very impressed when I told him this was the third time I'd been to a range, the last time being about 6 months ago.

Will probably return tomorrow.  Or maybe to a different range.  Hopefully I'll have something picked out by the time I have to return to work.

Hm, I think the M9 has a smaller grip than the M1911A1, so that may be the reason you shot a bit worse with it. Were you shooting single handed or double handed?

Two handed.  (I'm assuming single/two handed here means literally one or two hands on the gun/supporting the gun hand and not some other shooting-specific definition I'm unaware of.) 

Shot again today, closing in on a selection.  I'm liking the H&K VP9.  I also really liked and did quite well with the S&W M&P (there are a lot of &s in firearms) and.... Springfield? MX-D.  I rotated through so many it's hard to keep them all straight.  The range guy wanted to get me shooting a Sig 226, but it was in BAD need of a new spring.  The slide didn't fully return forward on release, and after the first shot it just stayed open like it was empty (but not locked).  So I didn't put any more through that one. :/  I did shoot a 9mm Desert Eagle, which I didn't know was a thing.  Kinda fun, but wouldn't want to buy one.  Pretty much had the same experience with it as with the Beretta.

Good god Shinedown's new album is awful.  The lead single Cut the Cord was promising, but completely out of place on an otherwise Imagine Dragons sounding pop album.  And another of my favorite bands bites the dust....

It's not like their new album not being something you like means that the rest of their music is somehow gone or bad.  I've heard Linkin Park fans decrying the death of Linkin Park for nigh on a decade now, but they still play their old stuff at shows and on the road.  Whether I really like the new stuff or not (I usually do), they're expanding their show repertoire, not abandoning everything that came before.

And as much as I like guitar chugga-chugga myself, just because something is somewhat lighter fare doesn't automatically mean that it's bad.  I haven't really heard any new Shinedown stuff outside of the singles that our local rock station plays, but I've generally enjoyed them over time.

Post by: Klaustrophobia on October 04, 2015, 01:04:46 am
It's not just that it's light.  Shinedown has had amazing rock ballads.  Even some of the last album that was less "hey we wrote a kickass soft song" and more "let's crank out more songs like Second Chance because it smashed" grew on me.  But that's not what this new album is.  It's just plain pop.  Guitar, drums, and bass are an afterthought for most of the songs that are built around production, piano and synth.  I'm not trying to dig at you if that's what you like to listen to, but I sure as **** don't, and this isn't the same band that put out Leave a Whisper and The Sound of Madness.  Maybe it's time to go look at Fuel, which last I saw is where Jasin and Brad ended up after the split.

By asking the landline telephone company, ofc. :)

You can try asking any local business to see if you can borrow theirs, but usually if you own a mail box and pay for a landline you'll get a phone book.

I get a complimentary phone book every year, can never figure out how to get rid of the old ones.  :banghead:

[edit]And, if you still can't find a phone book, you could try calling a telephone operator via the 0 key. I'm not sure if this'll work on cell phones, nor am I even sure they still have competent telephone ops that you can ask for assistance.

Today myself and my mum went to visit a neighbor and family friend of over 20 years, for one of the last times. He's been battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma for the last 2 years, and has been told that he only has a couple of weeks to live. At most.

While I am more than a little upset, I left there feeling more humble than anything.

There lays a man in a hospital bed placed in his living room, so weak from all that he's endured that he barely speaks above a whisper. But despite it all, he still has enough strength to give me a  strong (read: painful) handshake and pull me in for a hug. And enough bravery to do as he has done for years, and make dirty jokes about my mum's cleavage while his wife and sons are in the room.

I have always and will always hold a lot of respect for this man.

Welp, after being "pressured" to try and halt it, I spoke with the DMV and got some fun facts.

State IDs are essentially driver's licenses without the driving privilege - in fact the information is held in the same database and the same stuff applies to a driver's license. Have a license? Congrats, you're on a register and multiple databases.  I'm going to start recommending my paranoid brother start smoking some weed if he gets annoyed about it. Sucks that I can't drive till the mess gets resolved, but ID theft has long lasting repercussions. I'm just frustrated he went crazy like a baboon. At this rate I'm going to tell him to finance a fallout shelter and move to Montana.

Went to see The Last Witchhunter today.  It's a pretty entertaining movie.  Of course, regardless of the quality of storytelling on the whole, it gets major bonus points from me for being low on verbal exposition and high on material or incidental exposition.  These things that the characters interact with are fact, and they don't feel the need to describe them to the viewer in the simplest possible terms.  There are a few instances where significant verbal exposition is necessary, but they're handled well and fluidly, and frequently don't get in the viewer's way.

Spoiler:
Colder, as a character, was particularly interesting to me because we see him in two different states during the movie, and a lot of the development from one state to the other happened over the course of hundreds of (off-screen) years.  We see Colder the father, Colder the husband, and Colder the avenger in his first state.  In his second, we see Colder the experienced, Colder the protector, and Colder the weapon.  This is a man who has lived a very, very long time.  He knows exactly what is going on and what to do in response to those goings on, but he also reacts to these things as rote.  Life is a routine.  Death is impossible.  Danger is largely absent.  His sense of urgency and his own physical vulnerability hinges on people around him being vulnerable.

The really fascinating part is how that vulnerability, so obviously long absent from his life, changes him.  For the first time in literally centuries, he has something to lose.  It's a character development that's neither surprising nor particularly subtle, but it's still one not handled often in Hollywood, and it was handled fairly well.

Saw Man of Steel on Netflix yesterday.

It was a piece of ****. It was what mainstream critics call all superhero faire, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. How the filmmakers came to the conclusion that what Superman really needed was more brooding and a surgical extraction of any sense of humour or even fun is a complete mystery to me.

Eh, time for a little sarcasm.

How dare you question such a magnificent piece of socio-political mind opening media?! Who needs you're fun, it's gotta be political, so serious, so progressive that it strikes your pathetic heart you misogynistic, pathetic excuse for human debris, stupid thing we call a nerd, bow down and lick our boots as we profoundly expand upon the Glories of Steel you stupid geek. Now get your party card and accept whatever progressive message we tell you to!

/sarcasm

Blatant sarcasm/parody aside, the movie was terrible because it not only violates the core "ethos" of Superman as we know him, but it's a sucky movie overall. Welcome to Post-Modern cinema, where movies become so fraught over their "message" they cease to carry a meaningful impact. I could expound why I hate the majority of Post-Modern thought (and I consider myself a Post-Modernist artist) but it boils down to "the message" literally breaking the unity, tone, and importantly, whole of the movie.

I've always argued movies can be meaningful AND fun. Well, not to over sensitive neck-beards and professional click-bait bloggers :/

But then again, we peasants are so ignorant we can't possibly understand the post-modern ramifications :P

I had another doctor visit yesterday for my broken leg (I broke my left tibia and fibula into several pieces each on Sep 7).  Xrays show the the bones are healing nicely, and the skin where the bone almost poked through is also healing, so no skin grafts are needed.  But, the doctor also said that eventually the plate will need to come back out, so I have that to look forward to.  While between casts, he had me stand up and put weight on it while leaning forward. Man, that floor felt strange on my skin! But it sure felt good to bend my foot, and he said it looked good. He released me to drive (automatic only, so I can't drive my car yet, but at least I can get around in my wife's van if I need to), and I can return to work Monday.  The people I work with (who had to pick up all my work) are even more excited about that than I am.

But apparently I have forgotten how to walk.  Yesterday the doctor told me I could put 100% weight on the broken leg, or as much as pain will allow. I just needed to wait until evening for the new cast to fully cure. So of course I was expecting to be walking around without crutches or a walker today, at least for a little bit, but I was mistaken. I don't know if it is mental (conditioned to not put weight on the cast, or afraid of falling/putting too much on it and causing more damage) or if there is some physical component (maybe because my calf is wasted away so I can't balance on that leg, or nerves not used to doing anything besides sit there for the last couple of months), but I just absolutely cannot put all my weight on it, even for a second to take a single step. I was using the walker today to practice and to have something to grab if needed, but I didn't need to grab it because I could not make myself completely let go while stepping with my left leg. It wasn't painful; I just cannot let go of the assist, whether the walker or crutches. I tried standing on the bathroom scale, and I am only able to put about half my weight on it before I push up either with my right leg or with my arms, even though it does not hurt much. He did say I will not need physical therapy, but I will need to exercise, so apparently I also need a lot more practice.

Oh well; I will get there. Anyone else have a similar experience? How long before you could take a step without help?

Here are some Xrays from yesterday.  Sorry about the quality; it is from a Facebook post via Instagram, from an iPhone 5. The blue arrow points to a fracture that I did not know about until the dr pointed it out.  I had thought the tibia had just the single obvious break closer to my foot, but there was actually a pretty good sized chunk of bone broken off.  You can clearly see where the fibula shattered and split.  I still get queasy when I think about hearing that snap and seeing the sole of my foot pointing straight to the left while I was still standing up.

When we got there, we saw a couple of soldiers around the place, which seemed odd as there was no military facility nearby, but about 15 minutes later, we got a good idea as to why they where around as this sucker was leaving the harbour :

Nice, any idea where the point of percussion is? (be careful not to cut yourself!) It looks like the balance would make it a slashing type.

Full tang, carbon steel?  If not I wouldn't swing it around, if so make sure you keep the blade oiled up!  Looks nice in any case.

Anyway slowly chipping away at a regiment of Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde Impériale.  At 1/20 ratio Linge Heavy Cavalry Regiments typically come out to 24 miniatures but the Guard maintained a higher establishment so all told I have to paint up 40 of these guys.

Need dating advice:
Asked a girl out (first time) for dinner, she said yes, but it "wasn't a date". She did blush though. Think she saw it coming.

I really do like her and would like to move things forward but don't want to impose on her. How do I handle this?

I would much rather swing it around knowing it's NOT carbon steel that if it were, unless it was forged by an experienced sword smith.

I was primarily concerned with it being stainless, in which case it has no flex and will very likely snap when it makes contact with a resistant object followed by a foot long piece of razor shrapnel flying around loose.

True, didn't think about stainless as I forgot they would make something that big out of it. I do know that ill tempered carbon steel will do the same.

Insane friend working at Adobe Japan sent me the JP version of Senran Kagura Estival Versus.

She knows I normally hate blatant fanservice... but I'm a dedicated Senran Kagura player after Deep Crimson 2. But hell, she already gave me different copies of Idolmaster, Natsuiro Highschool, and the uncensored version of Criminal Girls. I do know a shmo who's going to be gifted it though. He'll be screaming in pain, lots of it - being a Dynasty Warriors plebe, if it's a brawler he plays regardless of content.

And I shall enjoy his screams.

What do you use as an anvil, and what's your forge set up look like?

I saw some plans for a forge that used a double-well kitchen sink, one well as the fire pit and the other as quenching trough. Interesting bit about it was that it used a shop vac as the air source.

For an anvil, I use an anvil. :)

I fabricated my own forge out of steel plate and tubing and my blower is a 1900s or so hand crank. There are a ton of ways to make a forge, I've got one I made out of a brake drum and a small steel table. The next one will be made out of rock.

There are advantages and disadvantages to electric blowers and it goes with the smith on which he would prefer.

Gotcha, I was thinking of you were asking about an anvil, or railroad track, ect. I have two anvils, a Hay Budden and a Peter Wright. Both are wrought iron body with welded steel face. They weigh 80lbs and 117lb.

The forge I will build will only be rock from the ground up. Then it will have a flat top layer of firebrick with a thick cast iron firepot in the center. So the rock will be shielded from heat.

San Diego. It turned into paid leave today by order of someone further up in management, though I was honestly bored enough I went down there and helped move some sandbags to help keep the building dry.

We've gotten less rain than the Cumbria thing, but this city is not designed to cope with rain. 5 inches in two days is enough to more or less usher in the apocalypse, and we're on day three and 7 so far. The good news is the town is too hilly to actually flood for the most part. The bad news is people who live in the canyons or Fashion Valley are screwed.

I'm in a similar boat here.
My work has been on short hours the past couple weeks because not many people have been coming in over the holidays, so we haven't bothered being open in the mornings, and with no need for morning staff everyone's had the number of days they work cut, though slightly longer days when they DO work.  Then this week comes along and we keep being closed due to rain.

I don't get paid time off, so not working sucks for my bottom line, but more than that, I am starting to get bored.  Living in a desert, I normally don't say this, but go away rain (at least Phoenix is designed to handle heavy seasonal downpour since it's fairly normal to get most of the year's rain over only a few weeks).

Whereabouts is that pal?

I got a week paid due to the Cumbria floods over Xmas.

San Diego. It turned into paid leave today by order of someone further up in management, though I was honestly bored enough I went down there and helped move some sandbags to help keep the building dry.

We've gotten less rain than the Cumbria thing, but this city is not designed to cope with rain. 5 inches in two days is enough to more or less usher in the apocalypse, and we're on day three and 7 so far. The good news is the town is too hilly to actually flood for the most part. The bad news is people who live in the canyons or Fashion Valley are screwed.
Not sure what you do, but if you are flsa exempt and you show up they have to pay you. I don't even think they can force you to take paid leave if that happens. My office loses power every once in a while and everyone sticks around working on jigsaw puzzles just for this reason.

Job talk, eh? I just got laid off yesterday, the project I've been on for the past few months is in a new phase and there was a reduction in force. I'm glad I saved up enough to get me to the next job, but it means I don't have extra funds for car repairs now. I'll have to do it myself.

My position hasn't been exempt since the 2004 revision, and since I work for Navy Federal Credit Union, we are both interstate and more-than-500k a year anyways.

It's not actually paid leave, I'm using a simplified explanation; it's more like they've decided to count the day as though we worked normally. This isn't the first time environmental conditions have locked us out of the building for a day awhile and this solution has been employed; it even has a special name that's escaping me at the moment. Last time it was somebody mixing 55 gallon drums of ammonia and bleach while preparing to clean the building.

Rumor has it the company created this particular pay-them-anyways exemption after an office in Spain (if there is a USN permanent duty station, there is usually a Navy Federal office; NAVSTA Rota) was blown up by the Basques during the '70s.

well at least it wasn't a 980 Ti. 

I almost bit on the 970 a while ago.  The reports of the more or less 'fake' 4gb of VRAM is what stopped me and I decided to wait for the next generation, or at least prices to fall significantly.  That was probably a year ago and neither has happened.  In fact prices have increased ever so slightly.  Then I toyed with going back to AMD, but now I'm kinda hooked on the bells and whistles of nvidia.  I realize that this is stupid.

I had to let go of an important friend today.

It's still sinking in. It's a pretty substantial loss.

A few people told me a while ago that he treats me badly, giving me low priority in scheduling and just generally putting me off, keeping me at a distance from him. But others have disagreed, which is part of why I've stuck with him all this time.

The last straw was today. He told me the weekend before this past one  that this weeke would be good to meet for dinner and catch up. He then put me off repeatedly when I asked for a specific day, lying to me multiple times about when he'd get back to me with a specific day (always "two days from now") and flat out ignoring my reminders.

He's said he considers me a good friend, and has been a really good friend at times in a number of ways, among the first friends I made after losing most of my vision over two years ago. But he's been a really bad friend at times, too --  unreliable, secretive, dishonest.

And he's notoriously flaky; it's not just me. He's actually been worse to a friend he's closer to than me. They went with some other friends on a group vacation (to which I was not invited, although that's another story) and he forgot to leave the keys to the AirBnB they'd rented. When his friend reminded him to send them back, he put him off for days. I'm still not sure if he's mailed the keys back and it's been a week. Needless to say, his friend is not happy, given what this'll do to his AirBnB renter rating.

We have a number of mutual friends, mostly people he's introduced me to (like I said, good friend at times), and it'll be impossible to avoid him. I'll probably run into him at least once a month no matter what I do. I'll have to figure out how to deal with that.

Mind you, there won't be a big "It's over!" or anything, just stopping all atempts to get in touch with him or hang out with him.

So yeah. :blah:   

EDIT: He's not really malicious, just flaky and inconsiderate. It's more a matter of negligence. But still.

EDIT 2: Minor corrections.

It hurts a lot that he's gone now, thinking of the times he acted like a really good friend, as welll as all the times he treated me badly and I let him get away with it, but of course all of that will fade. As you said, I'm better off without him.

Had one of those of my foot yesterday.  I still have no idea how I broke it, but the 3rd metatarsal broke way midway up my foot near a joint.

This happened several years ago.  No CRRRRAAACK OW!  Just a slowly increasing soreness until I finally couldn't walk on the darn thing anymore.   Go into the orthopedic specialist, get much more than my daily radiation dose several times, x-rays show what might be a crack in 3rd metatarsal near a joint in the midspan of my foot.  Doctor says, "IF that's a break, it's a clean one, and perfectly aligned.  Stay off it, and give it some time to heal."  So I do, and I feel better about a month later and am walking normally.  Get follow-up X-ray, and doctor is puzzled, "That's still looks exactly the same.  That doesn't hurt?"  "Er, no."  "Huh.  Well, if it doesn't hurt, let's leave it alone!"

Fast forward to today, 2-3 years later, my foot pulled the same weird creeping on of soreness and pain to the point where I couldn't stand to walk on it.  This time went to a proper podiatrist.  X-ray x-ray x-ray, "huh, looks fine except here on your 3rd metatarsal where it looks like you have a bunch of bone growth and a non-union.  Better put you in a boot and get a CT scan."

Gotta say those CT machines are cool as heck.  Felt like I was getting sent through a fricking cyclotron!  You could here the thing spin up and everything.  WWWWRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM  "Helm, engage subspace drive."  We'll see the results in a few days.

I think the backlash over terrible "pranks" that were just... lies... over the last couple years may have finally calmed the internet down.  Except people got pretty mad over google's mic drop thing, unless those stories were themselves the prank.  I didn't really look into that.

The only one I actually saw myself was one going around the gun communities claiming the Army selected 3 different .40 pistols as finalists for its newest contract.  It got a LOT of people, which is kindof funny if you're in to such things. (There is no way in hell .40 will ever be the standard caliber for any branch of the US military.  Or probably any other.)

Post by: Scotty on April 03, 2016, 10:40:32 am
It's neither a standard NATO shell nor is it a red-blooded, god-fearing American Colt .45.

Personally I think .40 would be a decent mid-point compromise between the two shells but that's because my P226 fits perfectly in my hand and I like it a lot.

There's nothing drastically wrong with it, what I meant was there's nothing GOOD enough about it to overcome the massive government lethargy for changing from 9mm.

But since we're on the subject, I personally hate it.  Drastic increase in recoil from 9mm with comparatively little increase in power.  Worse character of recoil than .45 with less power.  IMO the worst of both worlds.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Post by: Scotty on April 03, 2016, 03:19:11 pm
Felt recoil is as much a characteristic of the weapon as it is of the ammunition; .223 Remmington fired out of an AR-pattern rifle has significantly lower felt recoil than the same round fired out of a Mini 14 ranch rifle.  I personally despise the .45 because it's so much heavier in what should be a backup weapon first and foremost.
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
Post by: deathspeed on April 03, 2016, 05:08:41 pm
Truth; I have owned both.  I was surprised at the amount of recoil from the Mini-14 - it was comparable to my Winchester 30-30.  With pistols, my little Bersa 383A .380 had about the same felt recoil as my 9mm Ruger P95.  The single-stack Bersa had a much thinner grip than the massively wide Ruger, which concentrated the felt recoil into a smaller area; the 9mm has a heavier slide to move back; and the Ruger has a polymer frame as opposed to steel.

I've never had the opportunity to shoot a .40, and the one time I had a chance to shoot a .45 I was 11 and too scared of it.

Oh yeah Fisk is amazing. So well acted. His.. .. pauses. Damn. And the fight scenes, yes. That hallway scene where he has to get the boy from the russians. Pure cinematic orgasm. To contrast with it, I'm appalled at Supergirl's speed of descent towards ridiculousness and bad writing. That Myriad episode was even worse than Smallville's average. And that's saying something.

2001 Jetta, it just up and quit on the way home yesterday. Bad sensor so the engine just declared "**** it I quit". The repair cost is worth more than the price of the car according to insurance, not that I necessarily believe that since they think the car's still worth about $4k.

Day 1 of Carolina Rebellion (http://www.carolinarebellion.com) was a smashing good time.  Got to see my first favorite band from way back in 99 Collective Soul for the first time.  To be honest they've been declining for quite some time and putting out some crappy pop/easy listening music, but I guess they decided if they were going to play at a hard rock/metal festival they were going to prove they could still do it and actually rocked out REAL hard.  Enjoyed just about every minute of it, except the headliners the Scorpions were kinda boring until they got to their massive hits that I actually knew at the end.  And I missed all but the last song of Sick Puppies due to traffic and lines.

Tomorrow is another full day of great bands.  Highlights are Sevendust and Shinedown (as long as they stay away from their latest album as much as possible).  Sunday is meh as far as total lineup goes, but closes out BIG with Rob Zombie and Disturbed.  Depending on how I feel after tomorrow, I may skip the rest and just go in for those two.

You can always stay toward the back.  By the time you're around the area of the sound booth, you're not touching anyone.  It was kindof annoying during Shinedown.  They're not really a mosh/crowd surf kind of band, and I was trying to pay attention to the stage but kept getting run over by surfers.  And there were a lot of assholes who came in late but thought they were still entitled to get up front cutting ahead of the people who had been there for hours and gave up seeing the other stages to do so.

Car was broken into last night.  Assholes didn't even take anything.  Why must you break my window if you're not even going to steal?  Now I'm out $255.  Insurance is such a ****ing scam.  Pay them tens of thousands of dollars over the years, and they can't even fork out $300 for a broken window.  Deductibles should be illegal.

The criminals went to town in my complex last night.  7 cars that I know of were broken into, probably more that I don't know about.  Seemed to be targeting gym/duffel bags.  Poor girl whose car was next to mine had all her clothes except the ones she was wearing stolen.  At least they didn't get her window though since the door was unlocked.  I was even awake when it must have happened.  I work back shift but was out sick.  Didn't hear anything.  Well tonight the windows are staying open and I'm staying dressed with my holster on.  I doubt they'd be stupid enough to come back the next night, but hey they were brave enough to stick around to hit multiple cars all over the complex.

Haven't made any swords as of yet. I don't think forging a sword would be too hard. The problem I would have is the heat treat. To get a good heat treat on a sword you would need a speciality oven to do it right or be a master at doing it with a hot iron bar. If the heat treat went bad on a sword used for fighting/sparring you would have the possibility of flying sharp steel. This is why if you go on a blacksmithing forum and say you want to forge swords you will get eat alive. I've been asked to make machetes and swords while demonstrating, and I have no pride at all in saying why I do not make them at this time.

It's just generally crap quality.  Shortly before the warranty (of only one year) expired, I had to send it in.  Worst customer service experience I've ever had, they ultimately had it for a month.  It was never 100% right when I got it back, odd software errors here and there.  A few days ago a 2 ft fall from my bed onto carpet cracked the flimsy plastic case.  Now something has gone wrong with the power socket and it won't charge.  I last put it away with probably 30% battery, but it won't turn on at all now.  And since Lenovo decided they didn't want universal chargers undercutting their insanely overpriced 'genuine' replacements, they went to a proprietary power connector and I don't even have the option of checking just in case it's the cord and not the socket (doubtful but possible - the connector had another cheap plastic part chip off very shortly after getting it, but it was still functional until yesterday).  Looking at the socket, it looks like there's internals missing, but I never really looked at it when it was working to be sure it's different now.  Definitely WAY looser, but as of yet I haven't found any broken pieces lying around that would have fallen out if that is indeed the case.

1 year warranty on a $1100 laptop.  A month of which I didn't have it for VERY stupid customer service reasons.  This is really the main reason.  I bought this thing because the price was pretty good for the specs and it's pretty much the only one I've seen in the last 5 years that still has a trackpoint.  Not worth it.  Next one will be MSI or Asus or something like that.  Or I'll just go back to my almost 10 year old thinkpad that still works other than being pretty outdated specs wise.  Struggles with HD video and busy flash things.  Also still has XP loaded.

I can confirm that Lenovo is crap.

My first Lenovo ntbk has broken wifi and its LAN port is in the process of breaking down, too. Soon it will end up in a notebook equivalent of a locked-in syndrome, lol. Its less than 3 years old.

My second Lenovo notebook constantly overheats and is very noisy, also is incapable of playing HD video or serious gaming because then reaches >100 degrees Celsius and shuts down. And no, there is no dust in it. Not to mention that HDD broke down and had to be replaced, and "K" key came loose. It is less than 2 years old.

Welp, it's a pretty ****ed up story, but whether or not it's gun control is the usual fare, but mention the words Muslim and Islam and watch the media **** itself. I think it's very clear it was another lone wolf attack. People do crazy **** - or just be crazy like the gaming press and start attacking their own medium for something completely unrelated.

Nutcases happen randomly, but when one particular demographic is 123 times overrepresented in terrorist killings, then only a fool chooses to ignore that connection.

As for gun control, it may be a good idea but its kind of merely treating the symptoms, not the cause. Muslim extremists are still extremists, no matter if they have guns or not. Religious extremism is what needs to be addressed here, thats the root cause.

Gun control is illegal until second amendment changes. As much as I believe gun control could help reduce the deaths, it needs to be done legally. If Obama really wants to crack down on guns, he should call to change the second amendment, not try to dishonestly sidestep the constitution. Otherwise its just empty rhetoric, IMHO.

More like a story on the Verge stupidly pulling up the corpse of Jack Thompson from yesteryear and a gaggle of idiots rushing to throw in similar chimes of stupidity.

I made the callous comment on crazy because media organizations have a tendency to make stupid connections to tragedies that otherwise have nothing to do with what went down.

And if I came off like a prick, then I'll admit it. What inspired it was an idiotic set of comments on the article from Ars Technica: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/06/industry-tweaks-e3-plans-out-of-respect-for-orlando-shooting-victims/

Not a lot of editorializing there, I think. Like, the only mentions about the whole "videogames cause violence" bull**** in there is firmly in the negative.

Oh they did.  For almost 3 hours.  Which leads to the small gripe of Alice in Chains got pretty shafted on their time and setup.  About 35-40 minutes for them, and absolutely NO fanfare.  They were treated pretty much like a no-name local opener instead of a well established 2nd bill like I think they deserve.

If anyone is kinda interested but afraid of it being a sad, washed-up affair, forget that and GO.  It was so, so much better than I expected.  Axl was in great form.  With the possible exception of back at their very peak, this was the best GnR possible.  It was as if the whole embarrassing mess that was Axl Rose/GnR for the past 20 years never happened.  Except we're still 2 members short of a TRUE reunion, but the current drummer and non-slash guitarist fit perfectly naturally.  They are really part of GnR now, not some random filler.  I'm not sure why they needed a second keyboard player.  But she is pretty cute.  Maybe that's why.

That doesn't really work does it? When people talk about how **** their life has become, it's not so much that they do or do not live in a relatively priveledged position by, for instance, living in a country that has welfare. It's more that you are getting trapped in a situation where you want to get out from but can't. Buying a 1070 is something you do to make that situation a bit more bearable (siimilar to food, or alcohol, or drugs), but it ultimately doesn't really change anything.

Nah, that's bull****, socioeconomic status does predict happiness much more than that study indicates. That article is filled with propagandist anti-western BS. (shocker, it comes from the Guardian)

(http://i.stack.imgur.com/Q06kF.jpg)

When first world problems are listed, it is of course quite easy to dismiss them as "first world problems", because hey, it's true. It's a silly set of problems to have compared to what is actually happening in, say, oh, NIGERIA, or whatever. Compassion comes when we realise that this doesn't really help the person who is suffering from this feeling of frustration or ennui or basic depression. "Oh don't complain, your life is so much better than that kid who is dying from diarrhea." yeah, that may well be true, and it is true, but that only makes it worse. For now, not only you remain depressed (surprise surprise, it didn't cure you, this knowledge that other people are having it way worse), you even add to your depression a feeling of guilt because how dare you feel depressed?

That kind of compassion is the true sort.

The silly sort is when one tries to equate buying an expensive graphics card with food or alcohol to make one's own life more "bearable". It's insulting to the so-called "happy" people in, say, oh, NIGERIA.

Jesus Christ, now I feel guilty about you feeling guilty about "starting all that". Don't worry, Klaustrophobia. If it helps, I personally know too damned well what it is to suffer depression or being emotionally crappy overall, and that some people here in HLP know the same. It has nothing to do with finance. Everything to do with one's self.

Dallas resolved by bomb squad robot armed with explosive charge.

(Though I do have to ask, considering a police department really shouldn't have access to any designed-to-be-lethal explosives, how did they do it? Did they just get really close to the guy with a door-breaching charge?)

They really aren't! How many of us watched Battlestar Galactica and couldn't wait for the next episode every week? How many of us are now enjoying watching game of thrones? HOw many of us enjoy playing video games because of the story that they tell? Everybody loves drama.
How many people go to rock concerts every single time? It's not just because of the band playing, it's that sense of community. It's the pure adrenaline you get from being part of a crowd that is rocking on in the middle of the night, jumping around, singing along with the band. It's raw emotion shared amongst a group of people that is larger then can be reasonably considered natural.

Football (and indeed all sports) combine(s) those two, and more: Not only is there drama, but it's happening in realtime! There is community, but also a shared sense of pride and indeed everything is simply bigger then any rock concert can be. There really is nothing weird about going fully wild about that.

Constancy is... not its strenght. I mean, basketball is way more constant than football. And yet, I find it way more boring than football (perhaps it's the homogeneous constancy and rythm of it).

Even as a soccer player, I have a hard time watching it.  I pretty much only ever watch international matches. Your average mid-season low stakes match can get pretty damn boring.  Back when the MLS first started was pretty good too, when almost all the players were actually American nationals and we were playing the game like we had something to prove (which we did).  Now it's like the soccer equivalent of the Canadian/European American football leagues.

Broken is this demand for non scorelessness. The number zero was invented and considered heretic a thousand plus years ago too, and it's still math's best invention yet. So are scoreless ties: they define the zero of a game. Without it, all football makes no sense whatsoever.

Scoreless ties are one of the best thing about soccer leagues. The beauty of it is that there are incredibly tense scoreless games, and utterly boring goalfests; the final score of a match tells you nothing about how it went down. Within the grand stories of leagues and tournaments, scoreless games can create very tense moments and surprise results, and that's something that just doesn't happen when every game needs to have a winner and a loser.

Glad for things to be getting back to normal. On Tuesday we were taking the kids to the in-laws so my wife and I could go to a local beekeepers club. On the way my wife lost control of our car and it slid off the road into the trees. Thankfully after seven hours in the ER, the worst we were hurt was my two year old son had to have some stitches in his forehead, but otherwise just bumps and bruises. My cobalt is finished though.

AC units shouldn't have water in them.  It probably has a condensation drip tray which is probably now full.  Pull it out and empty it?  Alternatively, if no drip tray, its condensation dripping from another part of the unit, so it could be a clogged drain line.

There's definitely no drip tray on the bottom, as that's where the filter goes.  I'll try to look deeper.  I keep thinking I might hear little drips, but I haven't found any direct evidence of water since changing out the filter (which was BADLY overdue).

Post by: perihelion on July 31, 2016, 02:00:08 pm
If the filter was that bad, you could have a lot of crud on the evaporator coils. Normally condensate drips from the coils onto a collection tray which drains into a drain pipe which either dumps the water out of the house, or into the sewer line.

If the condenser coils are filthy from a dirty air filter, that can result in dirty condensate that can plug up the drain line.

Try to find the drain pipe would be my suggestion. Is this a central air unit or a window unit?

Eh, some of the newer A/C window units have been under pressure from US govt regulations for higher efficiencies. Meaning, they use the condensate water to help cool off the condenser coil by letting the condenser blower/fan kick up the water onto the radiator fins.

But yes, evidence does show that there is a clogged drain line (or absence of one). Also if it's a window unit you might have to make sure that it tilts slightly outward of the window so the water drains out.

Those are always fun when you have the heat pump models in winter. You turn on the unit only to hear the whack whack whack of the fan hitting ice in the tray.

I finally ordered some major upgrade components for my PC; I've been running a Core 2 Duo and 4 GB DDR3 since before Windows 7 came out.  I ordered an i5-6600K, MSI Z170 SLI motherboard, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler.
 
Maybe when my SSD is running with a 6 Gb/s interface instead of a 1.5 it will wake up and i will see why people are so impressed with them.  Other than booting faster, my system hasn't felt any different since installing an SSD.

Next step is to start saving for a new GPU to replace my 480GTX.

Program installation was limited by CD read or download speed.  Once either of those two tasks are done, if the installing program is of sufficient size to be a noticeable unpacking/file copying time, it's likely going onto a HDD data drive anyway.  And since I still have data drives, minimal speed increase in AV scanning.  My load times for any programs I can think of were already pretty much lighting fast.  I never have time to read the flavor text/hints on loading screens in game (which is actually kind of annoying sometimes when some stupid game designers put important information ONLY here).  Maybe firefox was sped up opening.  Thinking about it now, I remember a time when it used to take 5-10 seconds to open.  But I have no idea if that was due to the HDD or just an older, crappier version.

3

Three

THREE is the number of trained, educated electricians that I have personally worked with in the past 11 months who believe that the earth is flat, or at least that the shape of the earth is not round.

three

It's not like they have no mind for science or math. Electrical theory and trigonometry are huge parts of the curriculum, and they'd obviously passed those sections to graduate. So as not to be rude, I've tried very hard to listen with an open mind, and discuss things logically, but it hurts to hear these proofs they're using. I'm watching a video on Youtube right now, and literally experiencing physical pain (not figuratively-literal, LITERAL).

!!!

As far as I know, I've never met an adult who believed that the earth was flat. Maybe you're the victim of a prank, or maybe they meant that the Earth is not perfectly spherical?

The first I met was possibly messing with me, though he did sound sincere and never revealed a prank... And no, they don't mean that the earth is an oblate spheroid instead of a perfect sphere :(

But I have since watched a couple hours of live feed from the ISS and hugged my cat, so I'm feeling much better now.

Ah so apparently, the only critic I've seen so far that was able to understand The Begginer's Guide was Errant Signal. That's funny, for I had thought about him all the while playing the game as the typical personification of the villain of the game. Apparently, so did him, and kudos to him for it. Although his last promise, I have yet to see any remnants of it actually perspiring, rather than merely acting in a mirrored way to the game so as to wink wink to the audience that yes, he did get it.

Just finished going through a week of hell, relationship troubles and all that
They've resolved, but a very good friend of mine was ultimately caught in the crossfire

Details aside, there was a compromise that had to be made and the second hardest thing I had to say that week was to my best friend that her and I would have to be on radio silence for the time being until my other best friend and girlfriend regains the trust she has lost in me

I'm just hoping it isn't permanent and that maybe I'll be able to build a bridge between my two best friends one day. Suppose for now I just have to let things calm down

Gah. Relationships are tough on the emotions and hard work overall.

I can believe that. Just driving a 20,000lb dump truck and pulling a 17,000lb backhoe on the trailer and you can feel the mass behind you. Something with 30+ tons will do a number on a small vehicle.

I think people forget that the driver can't stop that much weight easily if you decide to pull out in front of one of those vehicles.

Had another awful first last night.  Rolled up to dead guy in the middle of an intersection right outside work, next to a super sketchy 7-11 that one of my coworkers gets coffee at regularly on 3rd shift.  Maybe 20 yards from the fence.  Stray bullets might very well have hit the shipyard.  Must have happened RIGHT before I got there.  Approaching a green light, could kinda see some shadows moving in the street that turned out to be the onlookers leaving the street for the sidewalk.  Slowed down because that was weird, and finally saw the single cop standing in the un-lit intersection not wearing anything reflective over his black uniform (and was a black guy) waving at us to stop.  His car parked across the other lane with no lights on.  Not the first time I've seen cops at this particular intersection so I assume at first the 7-11 was robbed again, but then I saw the unmoving body.  Heard one of the onlookers shouting into his phone about hearing 3 shots.  3-4 minutes later the ambulance/FD came screaming down the street.  Portsmouth is a goddamn ****hole.  For the second time in 4 days my anger over awful laws that prevent me from carrying or even having a gun in my car on the way to work through the Detroit of Virginia.

I'm quite angry. Why? Two days ago was typical morning, I wake up, eat breakfast, turn on my laptop, get some warm coffee etc and read the news. And what I read?

 Polish Ministry of National Defense just finished the negotiations and told the Airbus to f*** off with their H225M Caracal multirole helicopter. Which won the competition to replace the exploited Mi-8's and Mi-17's (the youngest one is 32 years old). The contract was signed before the elections in 2015. The most urgent need was to buy new, highly specialized versions like anti- submarine helicopters for the Navy, variant for special forces and the most important ones, CSAR and SAR. Why was the contract dropped? Because according to our new "illustrious" MoD, the French did not provide good enough offset (which is utter bull**** since the helicopters would have been assembled and maintained in Poland in WZL Lodz factory which is in 100% owned by Polish state. Including maintenance of the engines and even production of some other components. First deliveries could have been possible in 2017).
 So why drop it? Elections happened, the Civic Platform lost, new government was formed. And our current ruling party has a very strong support of the people who live and work in the cities of Mielec and Swidnik, where the other helicopter factories are. Those factories (owned in 100% by Sikorsky, now Lockheed Martin, and Leonardo) offered S-70i and AW-149 helicopters which were totally rejected by the army. Both are too small and S-70i has much weaker engines and avionics then the original Black Hawk. Sow what happens now?

Army is being left without new helicopters for the next few years before the bureaucrats decide what to do next. All that in the name of political games of a madman, paranoic idiot Antoni Macierewicz (Poland's MoD.). Let's hope there won't be any tragedy because of failure of the old helis. Or nobody will drown in the Baltic because SAR chopper won't be able to take off.

As a person who is deeply interested in military stuff, aviation and defense industry such things really annoy me. Such incident can be very bad for the further negotiations with French weapon producers (Navy is interested in Scorpene-class submarines with cruise missiles) since the contract was worth around 3.5 billion Euros. Well, stupid decisions may cause severe consequences....

Politicians messing with your equipment is basically military 102 (where 101 is the drill sergeant messing you in any way possible :P ) - It's why the Dutch army was so happy with the Bushmasters bought for their deployment in Afghanistan: They were bought to resolve a problem that needed to be resolved immeaditely (roadside bombs), and as such had no politicians meddling with them.

Otherwise it's vehicles with faulty gearboxes as atleast one part of a vehicle needed to be homemade, people having to use the Lynx whilst the americans have helicopters built for desert enviroments, etc.
I know the British reservists used to refer to the L85 as "The civil servants" as they would never work and you couldn't fire them (that was before they had the germans refit them to the L85A2 which is a lot more reliable).
Hell, the most famous example is probalby the M16 being issued without cleaning kits to troops in Vietnam because the rifle was advertised as "Self-cleaning".

I didn't update, but I still can't use the older version anyway. Uninstalled it since I don't need Game Ready Drivers (the newest game I intend to get for PC is Forza Horizon 3, and since it runs terribly even on high-end graphics cards, I'll probably wait for a decade before I buy it).

Proptip: If you use Nvidia's GeForce Experience utility, do not under any circumstances let it update to version 3.0.  In their infinite head-buried-in-rectum wisdom, Nvidia has deemed it necessary to create an account (or link Facebook/Google) before being able to so much as open that version.  This seems a rather noteworthy level of corporate bull****.

I didn't update, but I still can't use the older version anyway. Uninstalled it since I don't need Game Ready Drivers (the newest game I intend to get for PC is Forza Horizon 3, and since it runs terribly even on high-end graphics cards, I'll probably wait for a decade before I buy it).

They can't even code their (un)installer right.

This prompted me to go check, and all of the sudden geforce experience is conspicuously absent from my PC.  I didn't uninstall it.  Wut.  Have we reached the level of corperate interference where even on windows 7 they can remotely uninstall **** from your computer without any kind of permission or even notification?  I have UAC enabled also.

People have probably wondered where I've gone and what happened to my modding projects. Basically my computer's hard drive was damaged beyond repair while installing a huge GTX 970 in December 2014 (the card's cooler smashed the SATA connector). I saved most of my projects (ToF, WCAG, Wings is still on the freespacemods SVN unless it was deleted), but while I was reinstalling FreeSpace with the new installer I kept having problems downloading everything and just...lost interest. I was kind of losing interest for a while, because the amount of effort I have to put in to get a little bit of progress in FreeSpace Open is huge and increases every time major features are added and the standard to hit goes that much higher. Working with debug builds and the anal-retentive table parser was like pulling teeth. So I just put it down and didn't tocuh it for almost two years.

In the meantime I've released four projects for Wolfenstein 3D, the other primary game I mod (three of which I started after the hard drive loss, two of them from scratch--the third was a sequel episode to an earlier mod and the fourth was a megaproject I had been working on since 2012), revamped another one, and contributed a map to a community project. All of these mods, within the tiny Wolfenstein community, have received acclaim. I've done at least six others in the past. My released output for FreeSpace basically amounts to a very old demo for Twist of Fate with mission design so basic I really find it embarrassing. There's no question which game I'm better and more productive at modding. Then Talon1024 started messaging me about his problems adapting to PBR texturing and I realized I had no hope of being able to deal with it.
 
My heart's not in this. I can't go on modding FreeSpace, I've been lying to myself for two years thinking I still want to continue. If I ever did try it again, I would probably do it with a near vanilla feature set, only stuff that would have been doable in the FSO 3.5 era. But not now. I'm going to come back soon but only as a player, not a modder. If anyone wants to continue any of my projects I'll scrape what I have together and send what I've got along with outlines for how it was supposed to go, not that I believe anyone would want somebody's cast-off, because if I were in that situation I wouldn't.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to play a mod I've actually made happen for real, you can try my Wolf3D mods Operation Serpent (http://www.moddb.com/mods/operation-serpent) or Coffee Break 1 and 2 (http://www.moddb.com/mods/coffee-break-episode-1-castle-hasselhoff), both of which were released after I disappeared from HLP

I definitely feel your pain here, and I respect your decision. I've basically resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to learn how to do PBR, or team colours, or any of the more complex model creation stuff like that. I don't see the advantages when I play, as much as people talk it up, so for me (and ultimately, as selfish as it sounds, I'm making stuff that I like to see in game, to a standard that I set for myself). You have to find a point where quality, speed and enjoyment all balance if you expect to complete anything (in any context, but particularly applicable in FS modding with the constantly changing engine), and I've decided that for me, when making models, that's probably somewhere around 2012-ish era FSO. I don't remember exactly the date, but around the time where poly counts ceased to matter, you could do all the fun stuff with animated submodels, but before shaders and whatnot mattered. That's where I'm comfortable, and that's where I do my best, most efficient work. If people don't like it, they're not obligated to play it.

Ultimately, you have to do what you enjoy. Feeling like your forced to go beyond that turns a hobby into work, and nobody needs more of that.

At least for me, the original update process managed to crash immediately after uninstalling the older version, which proceeded to leave me with neither version installed.  Now that takes talent.

If you feel like bothering, you should be able to uninstall it and then find the most recent 2.X version on your old-installer-versions site of choice.  Of course then you'll probably have the thing wind up auto-downloading the update and giving you a prompt screen when you try to run it, but you can get rid of that by going to the Nvidia folder in ProgramData and deleting the folder marked Update.  I do genuinely sympathize with the can't-be-assed-to-care-anymore mentality, though.

It is always interesting when you have a customer talking to you and then switches subjects completely to tell you how rude the neighbors are and that they just do not understand why.

And the kicker, you are a complete stranger and have never talked to them before.

Probably just wanting to vent a bit. Anyone will do, they just need to express their feelings to someone.

Not saying that's necessarily the right thing to do, but I'm guessing that's why they'd do such a thing.

Personally when I'm told things like this out of the blue, I tend to believe the exact opposite.When you start telling things to a stranger about someone else it makes me think you are the problem.

It's been an ungodly long time since I last did one of these... holy **** I think the last time was back when the page count was still in the high 400s. 

Let me begin...

...

no, there is too much.  Let me sum up:

2.5 years ago I graduated from college with a bachelor's in physics.  Officially a physicist, WOOoOO!  Worked in biophysics research for a while, but burnt out on that and spent the next two years working retail and battling with the depression I developed in school.  I took classes at my local community college to get a programming certificate, decided I wanted to make a career out of game dev, then got accepted to UC Santa Cruz's MS in Games and Playable Media and had to defer admission because of strange turns of phrase concealing the actual cost of attendance and my own financial issues. I started applying to jobs because retail, while it pays the bills, is boring/soul destroying and I reached a place where applications no longer gave me panic attacks and it was time for a change.

And ohhhhhh boy did a big change happen.  Today I got a job offer from Rockstar Games to be an AI Programmer.

My face hurts.

(I wish I could go into more detail, but the sheer amount of stuff that has happened and how much I have changed in the last two years is overwhelming and I'm left without words. If you have questions, feel free.)

Oh yeah I also built my first computer with DahBlount's help :D

I'm now mentally scolding myself for unknowingly screwing myself up 6 years ago when I first pushed out a massive stream of updates to the Wiki to make sure the information and images of the retail ships were updated. It seemed very well done back then, but my edits didn't take another 6 years of development into consideration, so a significant portion of my efforts back then are now obsolete.

Completely my fault. :mad:

I just spent an entire day having a discussion with Feminists

More accurately, I asked for an example to provide context to a message that was made without any, they proceeded to berate me for asking them to not just point to a comment in the thread, but to quote them for posterity. Eventually one did, but the quote itself was said in a different context then the original poster's context, which I proceeded to point out which basically had them insult, berate and wish ill will upon me

I then documented everything into a word document. I have some thousands upon thousands of words located in documents which show the interactions I've had with Feminists over the past couple weeks

Anyone want 'em? :P

So, some friends and I decided to go full-metal-nerd and started playing D&D 5e.

I am a multiclassed Wizard (2) / Bard (1).

I am currently trying to decide on my last spell choice from the level 2 list.  I have narrowed it to Flaming Sphere or Scorching Ray or Levitate.  Anyone want to give some advice?

Post by: Scotty on November 11, 2016, 02:34:36 pm
5th edition is amazing.  What school of magic did you specialize in?  If you haven't picked that yet, my highest recommendation goes to Divination.

Which spell you pick is largely dependent on how your character is built.  Flaming Sphere requires a bonus action to move, so if you're using bonus actions as part of your Bard abilities its utility is going to be significantly reduced.  If you want a damage spell, I'd actually recommending picking Hellish Rebuke because it takes a reaction instead.  Reactions are significantly less common, especially if you're staying at range and not frequently engaging in attacks of opportunity.  Otherwise, I'd go with Shield if you don't already have it, for much the same reason.  Shield will also block all damage from Magic Missile, and bumps your AC by a whopping five points until the start of your next turn against all attacks.

Wizard Spells Level 1:
- Magic Missile
- Shield
- Detect Magic
- Sleep
- Charm Person
- Thunderwave

Bard Spells (Level 1):
- Cure Wounds
- Healing Word
- Faerie Fire
- Unseen Servant

Wizard Spells (Level 2):
- Misty Step
- ???

(Cantrips not included above). I am currently debating between divination and evocation schools.  Evocation may be useful because I plan to take a number of the evocation AoE spells, and the Sculpt Spells ability will make my group not hate me; I'm leaning heavily toward it.  But I have to say, Portent is mighty tempting.  Only trouble is, the remaining divination upgrades don't appeal that much (except Greater Portent)  Hellish Rebuke is not in the Wizard spell list.

My narrowed choices for my second spell choice in Wiz2 were:  invisibility, levitate, shatter, scorching ray, flaming sphere.  I think I'm going to save shatter and invisibility for leveling in bard, hence the three choices left.  Flaming sphere, provided I hold concentration, lasts 10 rounds of combat and still inflicts damage on a save, versus scorching ray which is three spell attacks doing 2d6 each.  Right now my lean is to scorching ray.  As fr bard bonus actions, I only have one bardic inspiration die per rest, so its not a real concern.

If you take Burning Sphere I would do Divination.  Remember, Portent can be used on any roll you can see - including enemy saves.

Ah Feminists....Always a laugh. It's like playing Dark Souls on social media. At first you have no idea and get the **** kicked out of you, and slightly demoralized/angry.

It's a somewhat similar game that makes at least a little bit of sense.  And it only boringly drags on for hours, not days.

But does it have things with silly names like "Wickets"? :P

Tonight? I dine on fail steak.

Or more specifically, realized that these little beef bastards had an unusual amount of grease that turned my attempt with an olive oil coat into a beam cannon light festival.

It tastes and feels like leather.

My computer has been consistently failing its power-on self-test (4 beeps from a motherboard using AMIBIOS, which likely means a system timer or memory error) for the past two days, so a few hours ago, I opened up the case and re-seated the RAM. It's working fine for now, but since this is the third time this has happened this year, I suspect that the motherboard is failing, so I've backed up all my essential data from the hard disk into an external hard drive.

I see that Evernote have decided to continue their fine tradition of trying to make the program completely unusable.

First they decided to charge if you want to use with more than two devices. And the charge is not a small amount or dependant on how much data you actually store in Evernote. They made the change with pretty much no warning at all (a single email I missed) and then spammed me with emails begging me to give them around $35 every year in order to get back the same functionality I got for free.

Then last week Evernote asked to update. Today I went to use it and found it had ****ed up the update somehow and accidentally uninstalled itself. I find myself having a hard time not laughing when trying to imagine the poor little update program trying to update Evernote and accidentally wiping both Evernote and itself out of existence. still, the fact that I managed to go nearly a whole week before noticing that I didn't even have the program running any more pretty much proves how ridiculous it would be to spend such a insane amount of money on a program that isn't being used that much.

Going to their website and being forcibly redirected to the Chinese version regardless of whether or not my system language is English with no way back is only going to be another nail in their coffin.

It used to be pretty good. I could search for a recipe online at home, check it while out shopping to make sure I had all the ingredients and then look at the recipe on my tablet in the kitchen while cooking it.

While I can do that with Google, it's nowhere near as convenient.

Already did that - that's how I concluded that it was either a problem with the RAM, the motherboard, or both. After re-inserting the RAM, the computer has continued working fine since my last post. Then again, this is what happened the last time - no issues for several months, then it stops working.

I'm keeping a close watch on Serebii.net at the moment - the webmaster started playing Pokemon Sun about an hour ago.

Got removed by yet another person on facebook upon disagreeing with some statements made on this image they posted
(https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14925634_10153847166116890_6368362774375574730_n.jpg?oh=18f7563e3677b0483af1de2ace2e3566&oe=58B7B6E4)

They replied, "but I will recommend you do some real research before you make comments like the above" whilst promptly removing me before I could post the sources I used

Upon messaging them directly with the sources regardless, "We clearly have different opinions & I find your comments offensive. I don't want to continue this conversation & I don't like engaging in Facebook debates."

Raises the question, why the hell are you posting opinionated postings if you're not willing to discuss said postings on the platform you're spreading them on? It's disingenuous to the conversation

Not sure what was found to be offensive with what I posted, but oh well.

I find black friday/monday/whole damn month of November sales more and more underwhelming every year.  I was hoping for a good deal on a graphics card, but they only got as far as matching the previous, non-black-anything regular sale low.  Which is still above MSRP.  There was one nice discount I found though.  On something I ordered a week earlier.   :rolleyes:

Meanwhile I'm getting like 60% and 70% off anime disks and cringing every time I think about what's happening to my account balances.  My game purchases were precious few in comparison, but there is part of me that wants to look into a Wii U and/or 3DS before the former disappears entirely in favor of the Switch.  That'll be another fun chunk of change!

Wii U sucks.  3DS does not.  Although if the older ones are still out there and cheaper, the New Nintendo 3DS isn't worth extra cost.  Almost everything about it they changed with the notable exception of face-tracking 3D is inferior to the old one.

One of our bathroom fans died.  Can I go to Home Depot / Lowe's / Rona / other big box store and simply buy a replacement?  NOPE!  Not unless I want to rip the entire unit out of the ceiling, resize the hole, and wire a new one in.  No, I have to spend $125+ at a specialty parts store for a replacement unit which will plug right in.  FFS.

Good news for the Polish Air Force.

US officials gave us a green light to negotiate a contract for the purchase of AGM-158 JASSM missiles in the ER (Extended range) variant in addition to standard JASSM's which were ordered earlier :3
We will be the first foreign users of that ordnance (ER variant).

And that means that our F-16's will be able to punch targets from more then 900km's from their positions :D. And that will be a big step forward as our current offensive arsenal (almost non existent) is in miserable condition.

Most likely.  TIL that one can test a PSU without hooking it up to any components by inserting a bent paper clip (wrapped in electrical tape if you're not dumb) between the power-on and ground slots of the main connector.  The smell isn't as strong after some blasts of compressed air, but it's still there to some extent, so I figure I should replace it just to be safe.  I do have to risk powering the system for a bit though, since my mom has some bills due and needs access, so fingers crossed it holds up for that.

A little annoyed. My coworker passed his CDL test and when he went to get his license they slapped him with the "O" or No fifth wheel restriction which mine didn't have.  He complained enough to the instructor who made some calls and found out that mine were given in error and now have to be redone to include the restriction as well.

That restriction doesn't effect me at all and I will probably never drive a fifth wheel truck but it is annoying. Mostly because the restriction was only made to make the government more money.

You could just get a 1060 instead. On par with the 970, yet holds 6GB instead of 3.5+.5, while also being cheaper

Finally quit my job.

Our supervisor proved to be a dick and caused the remaining assistants to quit in protest after announcing a gender-based quota for our department, then again the entire thing shoulda been killed after they brought in some yough-un with an MBA and San Fran grin of idiocy. It's only a matter of time before that kid gets sacked (or the company sued) after several older workers protested being phased out.

Sucks when you watch the workplace disintegrate into petty squabbling, but I'd rather leave with a shred of dignity than be forced to deal with some spoiled brat from the West Coast.

Welp, back to looking for a job XD

Sad to see my old workplace go down in flames, but it's never a good idea to phase out the most experienced workers and replace them with complete newbies. tl;dr the new supervisor made a critical blunder by trying to axe the experienced old cranks, and these are men and women who managed the office for over 15 years... you'd think it would make sense to keep some on to train the new cannon fodder.

I think after this escapade I'll look into the blue collar jobs and my retail roots.

Truly the most extreme examples I've ever seen of wolves in sheep's clothing, and being the star performer apparently made me a target.

Knoxville got snow last night, which makes for guarenteed entertainment.  Usually that entertainment comes in the form of counting abandoned cars along my neighborhood.  Half-a-dozen is about the norm for a one-to-two inch snowfall.

Today, people have been determined not to abandon their vehicles or their daily routines.  Instead, they're going with that good, old, Southern mainstay of four-wheel-drive-will-save-me.  To be fair, that's working well for many (though for this meager snowfall, any old front-wheel-drive sedan/hatchback would suffice).  There have been several....special cases, though.

One such special case was a neighbor from up the hill.  He thought four-wheel-drive would save him from the snow.  He seemed to forget that most modern pickup trucks default to rear-wheel-drive, unless the driver actively engages four-wheel-drive.  That was his first mistake, but with big, gnobbly off-road tires and a little bit of sanity and sense, surely this guy could get around a corner and up a ten degree incline, with a modest amount of snow on the road.

Yeah, well, he had the gnobbly tires.

I started watching from my front window, when I heard him spin up his tires on his first attempt to ascend the hill.  Rather than easing off the throttle, he let off completely and went straight for the brakes, locking all four wheels, causing him to slide very slowly back toward the T-junction.  He conceded the battle, but not the war, putting the truck in reverse, and backing out onto the street to the left.  As a bit of foreshadowing, he was so aggressive while reversing that he continued to spin up the rear wheels, while he backed away from the intersection.

This genius among men clearly graduated from the Jeremy Clarkson School of Driving, where the answer to every question or problem is, "SPEED AND POWER!"  From his starting point about 200 yards from the intersection, he went full throttle, building speed slowly (owing to the wheelspin) but surely.  He cut the wheel hard right, about where you normally would to turn into the apartment complex, but when it came time to straighten his course, the the driver immediately lost control of the truck's rear end--charitably assuming he had any measure of control to begin with--which continued to rotate, despite a desperate attempt to countersteer.  After about an eighth of a turn, that rotation came to an abrupt end, when the rear, driver's side quarterpanel made contact with apartment B1's mailbox.

Now, you'd think that would be the end of it.  The driver has caused property damage, so it's clearly and obviously time to stop and get help, right?

Oh, you poor, deluded fool.

With one wheel in the grass, this guy figured he'd have the traction necessary to build momentum and get up the hill at last.  After gingerly balancing the dismounted mailbox on what was left of the frame that once held it, the driver got back in his truck and true-to-form, went full-throttle.  Again, his rear wheels spun up, and finding no traction on the grass (or rather the mud, since the grass was quickly uprooted) or the road, this guy found himself sliding slowly backwards towards a stop sign and a telephone pole.

Fortunately for those of us who enjoy the use of electricity and telecommunications technology, the stop sign was the point where the numpty finally gave up and called for a tow.

I have a question: Why do pick up trucks default to rear-wheel drive when the weight distribution is to the front in most cases, depending on load? Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to put them in FWD and use the rear wheels only for the extra help? It's not like they are sportscars (I must admit that those NASCAR Trucks are rad, but they are rad becuase of their sheer idiocy).

Post by: BlueFlames on January 07, 2017, 04:07:13 pm
It dates back to a time when pickup trucks were utility vehicles that would typically only be used when they had a load to carry.  RWD makes sense, if you're operating the vehicle on the road with a load in the back.  It doesn't make sense now that two-bit morons just want a big, dumb truck to use as a daily driver, but blah blah, something something, invisible hand of the market, et cetera.

Yeah you need rear wheel drive for working and pulling trailers. I'm sure the default to rear drive is probably because that would need to be the stronger gear box. Secondly I imagine the linkage is easier to put in to engage front wheel drive than rear. Let's face it, if the linkage would break, in a working scenario you would rather lose front than rear wheel drive.

I'm more concerned about the fact that people don't know you have to engage four wheel drive.

I had my work truck in four wheel drive this morning as extra help in case I needed it navigating the icey roads this morning. Could have done without it, but it was nice to have it help.

The refreeze has begun to claim victims.  I can see two abandoned vehicles from my front window already, and I hear a third struggling.

Our friend in the pickup truck took a second bite at the apple.  I'm not sure what (or if) he was thinking, since he already knew conditions were beyond his capability to manage before sundown.  I suppose, if at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again.  This time he was a little less willing to approach with as much gusto, since a car was already abandoned across the street from the mailbox he took out earlier.  Ultimately, he chose to abandon his vehicle, rather than risk damaging someone else's.

About to go brave the Great Southern Snowpocalypse of 2017.  In my brand new AWD (full time) Mazda CX-5.  Gonna turn traction control off and gun it to make sure I have enough momentum to make it over the piles.

But seriously, I was out yesterday and it was fine.  I love this car.  I only wish it had some more ground clearance.  Heard one or two cringy scraping noises in the parking lot.  Driving in snow is as simple as driving slow and staying off the gas and steering over possible ice.  Gonna need a car wash pronto once it clears out.  I'll be pretty pissed at myself if I dinged it up.  I SLIGHTLY regret not buying the super overpriced 'protection' package from the dealer.  Expensive, but probably not as much as fixing the paint if the snow and ice ****s it up 2 weeks off the lot.  Didn't have time to look into doing something myself.

Snow skimming does not work with an old, small board that has no wax or tracpads on it, turns out.  Luckily was sharing the hill with a couple other families that shared their boogie boards which work much better as improvised sleds.  And there was the guy that turned up with half a surfboard and an armful of beer.

four-wheel-drive-will-save-me

As someone who has grown up in some of the snowiest, most miserable driving conditions this entire planet has to offer:

Four wheel drive is only to be used to get oneself UNSTUCK.  If one engages 4x4 beforehand and then gets stuck, you're ****ed.  4x4 is also highly overrated in snow and ice.  Usually the problem with people driving on snow and ice is too much acceleration, not too little.  Finesse is required.  Personally, I own two front-wheel drive vehicles, and at work I drive 4x4 pickup trucks.  I will take either of my personal vehicles in snowy/icy conditions (especially in mountainous or narrow roads) over the work trucks any day of the week.  4x4 and AWD are NOT safety features, but they are a great way to get people who have no idea how to drive in snowy/icy conditions int serious trouble.

Also, I bought Nokian Hakkapelitta 8 studded winter tires this year, so my minivan can climb goddamned trees.  Winter tires aren't just for snow; they really should be required anywhere the temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius for months at a time.

How on Earth will snow and ice wreck your paint job?  My white van is presently brown, and remains so for weeks on end during this time of the year (it appears our local car wash doesn't like staying open below -20 C).  Ditto for the blue car.  Nothing wrong with either the clearcoat or the paint; car is nearly 9 years old and the van is now 4.  Rock chips are about all you have to worry about if your area sands the roads, and a $20 pen of touchup+clearcoat fixes those (which I've never had to do).  It's windshields that suffer from rock damage.

Bank gave me my money back for the undelivered goods.  Relieved, didn't think they were going to since it was WAY past the 60 day limit.  Although the bank says that the company has 60 days to respond as to why the charge should be valid.  Since I'm pretty sure they are permagone and I've heard the word "investigation" throw around, shouldn't be a problem.  The only way they should be able to get the charge approved at this point would be to give me the **** I ordered which I would be fine with anyway.

My birthday is the day after tomorrow, I'm turning 29.

How did I get nearly 1/3 thru my life so fast???

For me it wasn't until I turned 18, that was the first big pedal push. Now after being married for seven years, the days seem to pass in minutes.

In other news the wood stove is in and all is right with the world.

Hands down BBC outdoes US productions across the board

I forked out far more money than I normally would about bought a GTX 1060 (superclocked variant).  It is glorious.

Interestingly enough, the 'superclocked' 1060s don't actually run at higher clocks than bog-standard models, though they probably have better coolers.

I only forked over the extra cash for the better cooling system rather than the clock speed (there is a notable difference between the basic EVGA 6 GB card and the SC variant in the heatsink), but I do note this one is clocked at 1607 Mhz (boost up to 1800 and change); while the reference is around 1500 with boost into 1700.  Curious where you're getting that they don't run at higher clock speeds.

They do run at higher clock speeds, but the 'boost speed' in the specs is AFAIK entirely nominal: the driver will dynamically clock the GPU as high as it can within certain constraints. My 1060 has a 1700MHz boost clock speed on the box, but even before tweaking anything it goes up past 1900.

After nearly 13 years of faithful service, I am about to shut down my first computer build for the last time.  Athlon X2 3800+, DFI LanParty UT Socket 939 NF4 motherboard (modded to NF4 Ultra to enable SLI, which i never used), 2 GB Patriot DDR RAM, Windows XP.  I over-paid for the motherboard and original OCZ RAM, since they were both designed for overclocking which I rarely did; I should have saved money on those and bought a better GPU than the original 6600GT. 

Several years ago when I upgraded to a Core2 Duo, I dropped the AMD components and original PSU into a new case with a new hard drive and GPU to replace my wife's Windows 98 Dell.  I just recently upgraded again to a Core i5-6600K and 16 Gb DDR4, and I offered to give my wife the Core2 setup.  She asked why she always got the hand-me-downs, so we got her a Pentium G4560 (the cheapest dual core hyperthreaded one), a B250 motherboard, and 8 Gb DDR4.  Oh, and Windows 10.

I'm now considering getting a new case for me, and dropping my Core2 parts back into the old case and giving it to the kids.  Ore maybe making it into a NAS/media server.  I dunno.  I just hate letting parts that still work go to waste.

Mine gets replaced tomorrow. I didn't buy a more powerful one, it was just cheaper to buy a new one that add a bigger hard drive to this one. I'm afraid that this hard drive is about to crash and I need a much bigger hard drive for all the pictures on it. The thing made it ten years.

Don't need a more powerful build. The core2duo is plenty to run Trophy Hunter 2003 my son plays. My gaming days are long gone.

Requal exam on Monday.  Going in tomorrow to finish studying.  Have about half of my material left, and it's the hardest half.  Of course the project team wanted me to come stand watch again tomorrow instead.  **** those guys, stop planning **** to happen on the weekend when we're not adequately manned for what we're SUPPOSED to cover and then complain when there's not enough people.  I heard through the grape vine that the boss is mad I didn't even dignify his request with a "no" response.  The ship leaves in July (probably later).  They've pretty much told us no more weekends off for the project.

This exam covers the same material we spent 8 months covering in initial qual, and this time around we had 6 weeks of 'class' followed by 4 days of study time.  Actually, there's MORE material on this one, because management and our 'oversight' organizations are retards and their solution for every problem is "add that to the requal class".  Was the **** that went wrong our job in the first place?  Who cares, our problem now. :banghead:

So I came across a gem of an opinion today

Quote
The use of the term "dark" to denote the unsavory, evil and unsafe is, in itself, racist.  I swear, the amount of ignorance on things like this is staggering. You can't wrap your mind around it because it isn't happening to you. Let it have been people of color that shaped the early lay of modern civilization and affiliated "Light" with that which is unsavory, evil. unsafe and see how you would feel about the argument then. I do not believe it to be so outlandish, considering the history of this nation, to perceive it in that manner.

He said it unironically. I can't tell if he's serious or a troll. I want to say troll, but I have no idea anymore... specially given where I came across it

On the flip side, I've been looking for a new job and have come across companies that have posted open positions and apparently interviewed people for years without actually hiring anyone. It's typically either to fill some HR quota (if it's a big place), or to interview people from competing companies just to try and find out what they are doing.

I was interviewed like that at one point. They didn't have an open position yet interviewed me anyways to get information on what we were doing because it directly effected them.

So a few weeks ago I was taking the trash out to the can for our building, and I saw a vacuum cleaner in it. It looked like it was in good condition, so I pulled it out and took it home; plugged in, works fine.

I opened it up and noticed that the bag was full, and needed to be changed. Today, I finally got replacement vacuum bags and discovered why it had been tossed: Not only was the bag full, there were dust/hair clumps backed up in the tube that feeds the bag, and more clumps built up in the head where it meets the suction hose.

So what I infer is: whoever owned this vacuum before, never ever changed the bag, and got confused when it started to lose suction, so they threw it out and got a new one. Because they have no idea how much junk is on the average carpet, or else they never owned a bag vacuum and were unfamiliar with the concept.

tl;dr I rescued a vacuum cleaner out of the trash, it was completely clogged with dust. I cleaned it and now it works great.

I was repairing my Kirby G4 today.  :)  I replaced the "mini emptor" - the plastic housing that connects to the main body and the hose leading to the bag.  I think the old one got stepped on; I cant figure out how else it broke.  The only other major work i have done on it was replacing the impeller once.  I still regret how much i paid for the vacuum, but at least it has lasted for over 20 years.

I must admit AB was actually pretty good this year, its not usually my favorite scene but the Lady likes going so I dutifully tag along.  They booked a lot of great guests from Japan and I was able to sit in on QA sessions with Masahiko Minami (Producer/Founder of  BONES INC.), Shingo Natsume (Director
of Space Dandy, OPM and ACCA-13), Wakana Okamura (Producer My Hero Academia, Psycho Pass) and Toru Furuya (Voice Actor of Amuro Ray and a 20 page list of other things).  They actually had such a robust schedule of professional content you had to pick and choose your panels carefully.  This had the side benefit of keeping the halls from turning into a gross people sausage which coupled with a better security check in made it a lot easier to get around.  Overall this was probably one of the better ones I've been to. 

We also setup reservations at a lot of great eateries this year including Max Brenner, Solas Irish Pub, Post 390 and Salty Pig.  I'd recommend any of them, Post 390 was an especially great farm to table/fine dining experience.

I feel like I'm not far from ragequitting my job and burning any and all bridges there to the ****ing ground.  I'm goddamn tired of getting constantly **** on because I'm the only one left not willing to **** over everyone else to get the best deal for myself.  I'm sick of covering for the laziness of my coworkers and then talked to like I'm the one in the wrong for even attempting to hold up the standards and expectations of our job. 

There was a pretty major ****up recently.  Two people did something pretty severely wrong admin wise, knowing it was wrong as they were doing it.  Then at least one of them further failed to control what was going on (literally his job to direct what was happening) and resulted in a violation of a limit and a WHOLE lot of headache.  As a result, some of us end up going to 12's to cover all the extra supervision that is now required as 'corrective actions'.  The first guy that ****ed up not only isn't on 12's, but he's not even showing up to the project.  Slinking back to his 'training' job (bull**** in the first place).  The second guy is on 12s with me, but basically refusing to take the watch.  End result is my ass is the only one down there doing my goddamn job and making sure **** doesn't get even more ****ed up.  Meanwhile the guy who put us here by doing the dumbest thing by FAR that has ever been done in my time here is my 'supervisor' and sits up in the office for his whole 12 hour shift watching ****ing youtube. 

BTW, I'm senior to this guy anyway.  Due to manning deficiencies and the way the shift schedules fell, he started being de-facto 'supervisior' about 6 months before me and has basically refused to stand watch ever since.  So I was already pissed off about that.  Then he causes this really, really big ****up, and he's STILL allowed to skate by not doing anything.  I'm the most senior person left, and have never had a significant break from watch in the entire time I've been qualified because everyone else who has been qualified for at least six months has thrown a fit about how it's not fair they have to do their goddamn job and successfully lobbied for special treatment.  I've stood an entire year's worth more watch than the next closest and still get treated like the whipping boy because I am willing to ****ing do the job I was hired and qualified for.  And I do it right to the best of my ability.  The VERY few times I've called bull**** on this whole mess, they get all *****ed up at me and act like I'm the problem for daring to get upset about getting stabbed in the face all the time, or expecting anyone else to do their job maintaining a goddamn NUCLEAR REACTOR properly.

**** these assholes.  **** this place.  And **** the government bureaucracy that enables it.

I don't think I've ever been as sick as I was yesterday.

I spent almost all day in bed, alternating between uncontrollable sweating and full-body chills. I would get up only to either cough up a glob of gray lung-goop or force myself to drink some fluids, and every time I did I was dizzy and my limbs were all sort of numb.
I just had (or still have) something vaguely like this, but not nearly as severe.  It started as a ridiculous allergy attack yesterday (seriously, the trees were flat-out snowing pollen), but then I woke up this morning feeling like a truck had hit me.

I'm watching the water slowly rise in my back yard.  It's been raining for the last 9 hours or so and is supposed to continue for several days.  I guess I won't mow today.

Consider yourself there aren't combat sappers on board otherwise the coolant would be used to chill drinks without your knowledge while the ballast tanks would be used to carbonate them.

"coolant" is a relative term, also ballast is for tubes, I work on ships.

In other news, just got back home from Carolina Rebellion.  ALMOST got backstabbed again, my leave form was 'lost' and only some emergency phone calls and shift scrambling saved my approved-a-month-and-a-half-ago long weekend.  That would have definitely lead to a discussion with the division head.  Which really I need to have anyway.  Not as good as last year, and once again all my friends suck and I went by myself again (though I didn't bother trying very hard this time), but I only thought about work like once so I guess it did its job.  I'm only mildly annoyed about going in tomorrow instead of shaking with barely contained rage.

I had a dream last night in which I appear to have invented table-top Populous. Apparently the game is played on a pair of sand tables with Monopoly houses and hotels. You throw handfuls of sand (i.e sandstorms) at your opponents houses to build up mana for more impressive disasters like tidal wave (pour a glass of water onto the table) and earthquake (kick the leg of the table).

Random question for people who use the metric system of measurement:

When you estimate a person's height, especially at a distance, do you say "about 170 cm" or "1 2/3 meters" or something else entirely? Do you use imperial measures for estimating height?

What about structures? "That wall looks almost 3 meters high" or "must be almost 300 cm" or *other*?

Metric system user here.

When it comes to a person's height, we either measure in centimetres (170 cm) or metres (1.7 m). Measurement in centimetres seems more common in a formal setting (i.e. height measurements in school or in the Armed Forces), while measurement in metres appears to be more common during idle talk.

Structures are usually measured in metres in most settings. However, having seen some floor plans during my course of work and requesting mundane things like name plates for doors, it seems that measurement in millimetres is also used quite heavily in building design. Interestingly, decimals don't appear to be used very often, if at all.

In my country, Italy, we use whatever form is the most convenient for a specific context. Uno e settanta (one and seventy, 1-70) is way easier to pronounce than centosettanta (one hundred seventy, 170); it also sounds more informal and friendly. When it comes to heights, we use the number of meters (1 or 2) followed by the number of centimeters. For example, when somebody asks me that question, I answer uno e ottanta (one and eighty, 1.8m).

Well, the past 4 weeks have certainly been interesting, between :
- a major network incident at work that basically shot my evenings & first extended week-end due to everything needing to be triple checked
- followed by a medium-sized incident blowing out of proportion due to one guy acting like a jerk the following Friday, shooting my second extended week-end
- getting bounced around due to conflicting priorities from the client's guys
- having a sudden swarm of minor incidents to deal with due to the client putting us in charge of their second incident tracker (and having done jack-**** to deal with said incidents)
- social drama + having to scramble to do (well, attempt to anyway) all the **** I was supposed to do during the two extended week-ends in a single Saturday
- having to scramble last week (& this week) to catch up on all the dev we were supposed to do the 3 weeks prior but couldn't due to all the incidents we've had to deal with

... I'm feeling a tiny bit exhausted. The sad thing is that June is "deadline-month", so it's not gonna be much better. On the good side, the weather's getting better, me & my game buddies have basically solved Age of Empire 3 (vs CPU), I'm finally getting the hang on Alpha Centauri and last election turned out a lot better than expected, so that helps preserving my sanity ^^.

Next steps : do my taxes in time, get a new pair of glasses, call my bank, and see if I can sort out my car problems.

Isn't that right.

I was walking back from my office last night when I walked past a lady who was asking someone on her cellphone for directions on crossing a road with heavy traffic and no road crossing. She either somehow missed the two overhead bridges nearby or was just too lazy to use them.

One of our local skimboarding community was just issued a ticket for "surfing in a no surfing zone".  We have one TINY area of a ~6 mile beach around the pier where historically we can skim unmolested due to the restriction on swimming and surfing around the pier.  That gives us a small window if the lifeguards are actually keeping people out of the water (50/50 at best).  And we still have to work around joggers, walkers, old people with metal detectors, screaming unsupervised toddlers, and pier instagram models crossing through the surf.  Which we do without complaint.  We've been run off from pretty much everywhere else on the beach, including designated surfing zones.  Apparently we have to use a surfing zone, but we can't use a surfing zone.

Important to note that there is absolutely NO statute or signage prohibiting skimboarding ANYWHERE in Virginia Beach.  And it's not as if this is unknown.  It's a common beach activity.  They sell crappy boards in all the tourist trap shops down the strip.  Plenty of kids and even some adults do it casually on their week vacation all up and down the beach.  There's been days where we've had 50 skimmers out at the pier.  A month ago VB hosted its first ever skim competition with more than 100 competitors from Florida to New Jersey.  A fully organized, permitted, real deal pro tour stop.

VB cops are apparently doubling down on the stupid.  More reports coming in now of cops patrolling the beach specifically to run skimboarders off, saying THEY get to decide what 'surfing' means, and trying to end a 30 year tradition overnight.  Made sweeps to give 'warnings' to every skimboarder they could find, and reportedly took pictures to track who has been warned. 

Never mind those shootings and robberies, or the hobo city we are standing next to while we talk about this, THOSE BEACH GOERS ENJOYING A BEACH ACTIVITY MUST BE STOPPED!

I've seen it fully assembled in the flesh, and the amount of awesome was very high.  It was very hard to walk away.  "We're here for the kids, not for me.  We're here for the kids, not for me..."

The year so far:

An old friend that I'd become somewhat estranged from passed away after a long battle with cancer.

A friend of mine and my family lost her husband to cancer.

Two older men I very much looked up to passed away to cancer within almost a month of each other.  Both of them were excellent men, leaders in the congregation, with a huge amount of common sense.  Neither had shown any signs of a problem until a month and a half from their deaths.  Both were old enough to be said to have lived "full lives," but it still sucks and it all happened so fast.  One day they were fine, the next something's not quite right, next week they've got stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

My middle cat (we had three)...  She was not doing well.  She's had chronic inflammation of her intestines and her pancreas for years.  At least a year or so ago, it was verified NOT to be cancer, so we think she had an autoimmune disorder of some kind.  She was the sweetest thing.  She'd never hurt anyone unless except out of fear.  She was completely deferential to her big sister (not really her sister, but they acted like it).  Always let her eat her fill first whenever I fed them.  I took to giving her food in a separate room since I had to put some of her medicine in it, and the other cats wanted first dibs!

Anyway, she wasn't doing well.  She was regularly going #2 outside the litter box, and it was getting less and less formed.  (Sorry if this grosses you out.  I've been living with it for so long it's just facts.)  There's no cure for that sort of problem, but there are ways to mitigate it.  Those methods were losing their effectiveness, though.  So I took her back to the vet so they could take a look at her.  She was scared to death, like always, but the doctor knew her and was very gentle and understanding.  We were going to try changing her diet a bit in case she'd developed an allergy to her food.  I took her home, loved on her and the other girls a bit, and then went to work.  She appeared to be relieved to be home, and darted under the bed.

After work, I picked up the kids and took them home.  Their mama was working a bit late that day, so it was just me and the kids.  There was nothing outside the litter box, which was a bit unusual.  After checking on the kids homework I told them they could play for a bit.  I went looking for the cats.  Two of them had already come by to say hello.  T... she was still under the bed.  She wasn't moving.  Her mouth was open, her eyes were open.  They looked-  Well, if you've seen dead eyes before, you know what they looked like.

That was a couple months ago.  The whole family took it hard.  Her big sister (cat) has been very clingy ever since.  Just got back from the vet and now she's testing positive for pancreatitis.

And in other news, I just turned 40.

Grief.  Last year, so many people far away were dying.  People I didn't know but wished I had.  This year the tragedies are hitting a lot closer to home.  I'm not fishing for sympathy, and I don't have any great life lesson I've got to share from all this.  Just felt like I needed to write it down.  I guess what I keep thinking about is that, if I'm lucky and don't get struck down by some fluke accident or disease, if I live long enough, then it'll be my turn.  And that's true for all of us.

So if anyone has any life affirming events going on in their lives right now they'd feel like sharing, that'd be good.

I just finished building mine. I think it's the best model they have released in years, huge yet intricately detailed, with all sorts of unusual techniques to create the cylindrical shape. All the parts are printed and the instructions even look like a technical document from the 60s. It's also pretty cheap for its piece count (exactly 1969, the year of the first moon landing). It's usually sold out online but is easy to find in Lego stores.

Just FYI in simple terms. The states have a service called "Call before you dig" or dialing  811 on your fancy smartphone. When you are planning on "digging" a hole  whether for a mailbox or grave for your mother in law, you call the number. You talk to a nice lady who directs local utilities to come out and mark the utility lines so you know where they are at when you use that shovel or backhoe that you do not know how to use. This same service works for contractors who use boring equipment.

A warning, if this service is too complicated for you;

One: get back in the house and sit on your butt.

Two: get someone who knows how to dial 811 to do the digging.

Three: be prepared to talk to some ticked off utility workers who had to come in a a Saturday to fix the mess you made. The neighbors who where enjoying the fine local utility on the weekend. And expect to hear your bank account cry when the utility bills you for being a dimwit.

This is your standard, friendly service announcement.

So, did they put the backhoe through the wastewater line, or the drinking water line?

Stumbled across this article (https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/the-audacious-rescue-plan-that-might-have-saved-space-shuttle-columbia/) talking about part of the Columbia disaster report that dealt with a hypothetical plan to rescue the crew if the damage to the thermal protection tiles had been quickly acknowledged and confirmed via satellite observation and/or EVA.  In short, it involved the shuttle being put into a low-power mode (not surprisingly, CO2 build-up would be the primary limiting factor) while Atlantis was sent on a super-expedited launch and rendezvous.  The rescue itself would have been an extremely lengthy and complex series of crew transfers and manual station-keeping between the two shuttles.  An alternative on-board repair strategy would have seen a crazy jury-rigging of bags of water with a thermal blanket and ice coating in an attempt to hold the shuttle together until a feasible bailing altitude.  It's both a fascinating and chilling read.

Thanks for that, it was a great read.  That said, from the article itself and the two top comments, it makes it pretty clear that the Columbia's crew were dead basically from the moment that foam hit the orbiter's wing.  As the article illustrates, the fact that it hit a critical non-redundant piece of the orbiter can only really be accounted for by putting the orbiter back on top of the launch vehicle, not strapped to the side.  In that context, and the advances in more traditional rockets re-useability, the ultimate demise of the shuttle program really does seem to make sense.

Well, say hello Harvey!

Because 2017 has not yet sucked enough, we now are under voluntary evacuation from the first hurricane to strike Corpus Christi in over 20 years. Aforementioned sick geriatric cat is complicating this process, as is the fact that we adopted a 2-year old boy kitty who we have named "George" (because duh) who the other two cats are convinced is the spawn of Satan.

On the plus side, some good friends came over and helped me get boards up on all the windows. No matter what else happens, it means a lot to me that they were not only willing but eager to help. I hope when I get the chance to pass on the favor, I recognize it and jump on it. I'm a fairly selfish blighter, but I'm working on it.

Anyway, going to catch a quick hour of sleep and then hit the road in the dead of night to try and avoid the worst traffic.

Say a prayer for the Coastal Bend. This looks like it'll be one for the record books.

We got out safe. Leaving at 1:40 in the morning meant almost no traffic. The outer storm bands had already come ashore, but it didn't take long to outpace them.

Teh kittehs are mad, but when we woke up from our naps, they were curled up against our legs.

So, not forgiven, but still loved.

Well Harvey just nailed(and is still nailing) Texas as a Cat 4. First major hurricane to hit the US since '05 and the first Category 4 since '04.

 From what I've been hearing from sites and chasers, they are saying widespread destruction already and many places are still in the eyewall right now.

After it finally weakens, it will drop 30-60 inches of rain, then possibly move back over the gulf, possibly restrengthen and hit Texas again or LA.

This will go down in the history books.

So does "hit the US" mean that it goes up through the Gulf, or do none of the hurricanes that have torn up the East Coast count because the eyes never officially made landfall?
Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - boom shake-shake shake the-room.
Post by: Mongoose on August 26, 2017, 04:08:24 pm
"Major hurricane" refers to a category 3 or higher, and yeah, an actual "hit" is usually defined as the eye coming ashore.  Obviously even storms whose cores stay out to see can cause a great deal of devastation, and a "weak" hurricane or even a tropical storm is still a serious threat.

I'm watching the trash fire that is Batman vs. Superman, and I've needed to stop for a breather at several points throughout the film, since there's only so much unmitigated awful I can handle in a single shot.  At this moment, I've paused at almost exactly halfway into the film.

Would you like to know something that famous movie-maker Zach Snyder doesn't know?  Congressional hearings do not take place in the Capitol Building.  House hearings take place in the Rayburn, Longworth, and Cannon office buildings, across Independence Avenue, to the south of Capitol Hill.  Senate hearings take place in the Russell, Dirksen, and Hart buildings, across Constitution Avenue, to the north of Capitol Hill.

Lex Luthor blew up the wrong building.

...

Lex Luthor--multi-zillionaire and criminal supergenius--blew up the wrong building.

This movie had a $300 million dollar budget, and they couldn't have an intern look up what buildings are used for Congressional hearings.  This movie isn't worth the jar of warm piss that was in the hearing room that didn't get blown up, because the effects team animated the wrong building exploding.  I don't think I'm going to make it to the two-hour mark in this ****show, nevermind the three-hour mark.

Yeah, Zack Snyder's style and take on the DCU is pretty awful. I mean, sure he can create beautiful shots, but A) they're stitched together like some sort of Frankenstein monster with mismatched body parts, B) you can't see **** in most of those shots, especially during action scenes, C) visuals & symbolism have priority over plot & characters. The result is usually an unfathomable mess with characters doing seemingly random **** that happen to move the plot forward, with the plot itself being all over the place and missing pieces, and the action scenes failing to distract from all this since you can barely see what's going on.

Which is probably the reason why everybody was so surprised that Wonder Woman turned out to be so damned good.


Anyway, has anybody seen Justice League yet ?

Top Gear always had it out for caravaners, and I think I may have gotten to the root cause of that.

In the United States, if you ask someone employed at a car dealership, "What's the towing capacity of a 2014 Ford Fiesta?" the answer is, "HAHAHAHAHAHA!  Let me show you something with a 6.7 liter turbo-diesel."

In the United Kingdom, if you ask someone employed by a car leasing company, "What's the towing capacity of a 2014 Ford Fiesta?" the answer is apparently, "Nine-hundred kilograms (https://www.carleasingmadesimple.com/data/ford/fiesta/towing-weight-limit/)."  (In 'Murican units, that's 1,984 pounds or 80% of the car's own weight.)

lolwut?

In the US, I have to tell people not to underestimate what a plucky four-cylinder engine can do these days, but I think there's people in the UK who desperately need to hear the opposite message.  Don't try to drag nearly two-thousand pounds behind a car that barely makes 120hp.  It's a bad idea.  No, it's the worst idea.  If you're considering doing this, then a UN peacekeeping force needs to swing round to take away your car keys.  Kim Jong Un can keep his nukes, as long as you aren't allowed to tow.

Turns out, the item on sale was none other than Descent 3.

I went to check the main page of GOG.com, and I saw it - they were selling Descent, Descent II and Descent 3 again, after not doing so for about 3 years. And they were selling all three games at a discount of 66.7% per game.

I got a new car for myself, a Mazda CX5 with the fully loaded trim and packages. I love the style and handling on this. I've been driving a 17 year old minivan for many years, and it's a huge improvement over that.

If you live in my neighborhood, don't order Dominos tonight.  The (or one of the) delivery driver's vehicle has so much rod-knock that I could hear it inside my apartment.

Actually, don't order Dominos ever.  Their pizza is hot garbage, even compared to most other franchise pizza places.

Mazda is always a good choice in my mind, but I am always a bit weirded out by the "We take our sportscar and turn it into an SUV" shenanigans of, say, the CX-5 or the Porsche Cayenne.

Then again they sell like hot cakes and are still very capable cars in their own right, it just seems a lot bigger then it should be.

Also speaking of lovely cars check out my new mercedes (http://www.racedepartment.com/attachments/index-jpg.219295/). It's amazing.

The link doesn't seem to work. I like crossovers for the upright seating and cargo space, which makes road trips more comfortable and convenient. I've gotten used to that in the minivan, even though it was clunky to drive. Some crossovers do look weird to me too compared to the cars they are based on, I think the CX-5 is one of the few good looking ones.

My new Mercedes :P

(Mercedes makes Smart cars hence)

I'm surprised by it, I'm 6 foot 5 or 195cm and I fit in it just fine. First automatic car I've ever driven in too, and it's extremely usefull in the old towns I need to go to for psych stuff. As you can see, parking is a cakewalk in this thing, although I haven't tried this with it (https://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2011/10/smart-car-parking-trick-photo25346.jpg).

It's slow though! 0.6 litres of engine isn't all that much.

Hehe, yeah. It's a car that is extremely useful for commuting and ... basically nothing else xD

It is however quite impressive to actually drive in. You'd expect the car of that size to be just... ****ty, but it's not. It actually pulls decently from 0 to 100 km/h, and the handling is extremely responsive, far more then any other car I've driven. It's one nimble car. Plus, it's rear wheel drive! So you can do this with it:

If I were ever to run for office and win (no chance of either happening) my first two laws would be:

2. Enforce much stricter fines on speeding. If you pass me doing 80mph in a 50mph zone, in a curve with a solid line, you should lose your license for a month or so.

My cable modem, which I rent from my ISP and through which I receive VOIP service, had to be replaced recently.  The replacement modem did not come with a battery backup for the VOIP module, so I lose phone service when the power goes out.  There's a battery available, but the ISP requires that I buy the battery for the modem that I rent.

When this modem's time comes, I'm keeping the battery.  It might be a proprietary form factor and have proprietary connectors, so that it's not compatible with anything but this cable modem, but it's my battery.

Just got the crap scared out of me by an Amber Alert on my phone. It's my first smartphone and I've only had it for a month or so, so I'm still not used to the idea of getting an EAS message from anything other than a TV or a radio. Suddenly hearing the EAS sound from out of nowhere really late at night is scary enough, and then there's the fact that I had no idea where it was coming from because I don't have a TV or radio turned on. So for a moment, there was a fear that either some paranormal stuff was going on or some psycho was in my house and playing a recording of that sound from right behind me. I'm just glad I wasn't holding a glass of water or something fragile, because I probably would have dropped it.

So I seem to have lost my main drawing pen. I could choose between ordering the same one at a pretty cheap price but it will take a month to arrive, or buying a super expensive one that comes in a week...

yeah, i picked the 1-month option...

Speaking of ordering things, I ordered an anime figurine 3 months ago that arrived yesterday!

My aging desktop has bought the farm.  The POST beep code suggests a bad RAM stick, and I'm not inclined to go buying second-hand, seven year old memory to try to fix the problem (even if I had the money to engage in such an endeavor).

Now I get to play the game of seeing how long I can get my older laptop to limp along before I'm left with just my even oldererer desktop.  I've apparently been living in a technology graveyard and was only just given notice of that today.

I recently installed a WD Gold 4TB datacenter hard drive (because I like my technology to be massively overbuilt, and I've been burned by consumer hard drives and don't trust them for anything I'm not willing to lose) and aside from the much louder noise it makes compared to my other hard drives (WD Red and Blue, and the Red is the only other one I use in my main PC) I am very pleased with it. It sounds like a '90s drive when it's reading and writing but its ludicrous throughput is anything but '90s, and it will probably last for years and years. Or at least it better. This thing cost me $200.

I recently built my own little Frankenstein operating system using Arch Linux for my Lenovo Thinkpad T520 I bought used off of eBay. I even put an SSD in it and a did a memory upgrade that made the sticks unequal sizes so there's 8 GB of dual-channel fast memory and 4 GB of single-channel slow memory. The nvidia drivers turn any laptop they're installed on into a power-sucking buggy hellbeast so I rely on the Intel integrated graphics. It's not much of a gaming PC, unfortunately.

My 1996 Oldsmobile, which has been with me for most of my driving life, appears to have reached its end. The steering broke last week, and although the mechanic can fix it, he says the car's underbody is in such bad shape that more problems are likely to happen soon. So basically, I'm being told it's not worth fixing.

I'm pretty upset. That car has been a part of my life for a really long time, and I've gotten attached to it. I actually almost lost it once before, about two years after I bought it, because of an accident where some guy made a totally uncontrolled turn and smashed into me while I was sitting at a red light. Insurance company wanted to call it a total loss, but I disputed that and ended up keeping the car. I didn't feel this way when it looked like I might lose it back then. Not enough time to get really attached, I guess. But it's different now. I'm not good at dealing with this kind of thing. I like to hold on to things. And I'm not particularly enthusiastic about newer cars, either.

I definitely want some kind of memento from the car. Hopefully I can get the mechanic to pry off its nameplate or something for me.

Alternatively, if anyone knows about ways to save an old car, I'd be interested.

Thanks, man. I actually hadn't thought of taking pictures, because that's not something I do very much, but it's a good idea. I think I do have a camera around here somewhere. Maybe I can even bring it back home to take the pictures. That seems like the right thing to do. The mechanic is only about five minutes away from my house, and pouring some fluid into the engine can make it drivable for about that long. It seems appropriate for the pictures to be at home, and I wouldn't have to stand around at the mechanic's place looking like an idiot. Plus, I'd get to drive it one last time.

As for declaring it off road and making it a project, I don't think I'll be able to do that, unfortunately. I don't really have a place I could store it, nor do I have the knowledge to work on it myself. I asked my mechanic about getting someone else to restore it, and the cost he gave me was more than I can afford. He's perfectly willing to pull off a souvenir for me, though, which is good.

Also, I know it happened months ago, but I'm sorry about your dog. I can imagine people thinking that my grief is silly or insignificant compared to losing a pet, which makes me appreciate your comment more.

So, I finally committed to putting a new operating system on my new computer - went with Solus 4.1. Took a while to figure it out, but the initial install was finally completed last night. Don't know when I'll have the time available to fully kit out the machine, but all seems well.

WHAT IS WEIRD is the stuff that kept happening when trying to download the software. I went through multiple attempts to just download the .iso, and finally got a good connection through the Helsinki, Finland mirror. I swore the file downloaded properly earlier in the day, but it was then nowhere to be found on the machine. The confirmed good download eventually disappeared as well! 1.7GB... vanished! Searching through hidden files and running Recuva had no effect - it's the strangest thing I've seen in computing to date.

...All the while, I do not believe there was anything wrong with the files I downloaded. I even tried to figure out the security/checksum stuff that's provided for the .iso (and it seemed to check out... at least as much as you can check it out on Windows). The only thing I can figure is that some of the software I downloaded to flash the USB drive wiped out the download... perhaps it loaded the stuff into RAM, and eventually the RAM purged, and poof. But then, that's all speculation. Needless to say, I won't recommend Balena Etcher as a flashing program, and perhaps that's why none (or very few) of the tutorials I've seen suggested it.

Hey I've got a question for anybody living in a metric-using country:

So cannons mounted on British sailing ships were measured in pounds, by the weight of the ball they would fire: 6-pounder, 8-pounder, 12-pounder, etc.
If the British Empire had had only the metric system, and no concept of "the pound", how would they measure cannon sizes in this fashion?
3-kilo? 3-kiloer? Think they'd go straight for bore in mm or cm? Any ideas?

3-kilo? 3-kiloer? Think they'd go straight for bore in mm or cm? Any ideas?

After the introduction of metric units of measurement, the german military switched to a pretty uniform designation system for its cannons that listed the gun caliber followed by its length expressed as a multiple of the caliber (for example, SMS Goeben's main guns were designated "28 cm L/50", meaning they were 28x50 =  1400 cm long).
The thing is though, the question is somewhat beside the point. Historically speaking, the switch from measuring guns by their weight of shot to measuring the bore diameter came about because gun manufacturing advanced to a point where ammunition could be centrally produced and standardized; specifying the ammo for a gun with the bore diameter as the primary measurement just made more sense than just giving people weights to aim for. Furthermore, with brown and later smokeless powder, the length of a barrel becomes a massive factor in determining the ballistic performance of a gun, so again a standardized formula established itself whereby gun length was measured in multiples of its bore diameter. Whether you're using metric or imperial measurements doesn't really matter - defining a gun as 16"/50 is just as clear as calling it a 406mm/L50.

Ok, yes, that definitely makes more sense. However, hypothetically, if a metric-using country was to rate cannons based on projectile weight, how would they be called? I'm asking for a fiction thing I'm writing.

If you want to use metric, "3 kilo" would probably be the best. Not a "3 kiloër", becuase whilst in English "Pounding" is a word, "kiloing" isn't a word in any language that uses metric that I'm aware of - in no small part because the metric system's terms are derived from latin, so there's limited etymology going around: Until their respective countries introduced metric, no living languages were using words like "kilo", and a lot of people kept using the old terms for things. The Dutch kept using "pond" (pound) even after the introduction of metric. In no small part becuase the amsterdam pound is 497 grams, so we just rounded it up so that "pound" now means half a kilo and kept using it.

It could be worth looking at how metric countries classify their naval guns. The French version isn't that different from the Germans, being based on length rather then weight, and with a designation for the model year (138mm model 1893). Before that, the french also used pounds.

It seems like whenever people made the shift from the inprecise pounds (which before the introduction of metric used to vary per city) to the precise metric they also updated their gun calibre designations to be more precise. The very concept of metric invites precision as evidenced by the meter itself: "we take one ten-millionth of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator along the meridian through Paris and then adjust it so it becomes more precise" rather then "We take an average foot and work from there".

tl;dr: A metric using country wouldn't actually rate cannons based on projectile weight becuase metric is a language of precise science and rating projectiles by weight is born from a previous era where this precision did not exist.

****. ****. ****.

You know.. just a few weeks ago I would have said 2020 is coming up all MjnMixael. I got a great job with people I care about doing something I'm good at (IT) at a company that actually gives two ****s about it's employees. My wife and I are happily expecting our fourth kid in September. My wife and I landed in some good financial fortune because of all the improvements I made to our home. We refinanced and paid off all our debt (except the mortgage, of course). I finally got over some depression I was dealing with and got back into my hobbies. I landed in an a-capella quartet of good friends and we're getting really good. I became president of the board in the chorus I sing with. That chorus qualified for international competition in first place. The kids were doing well in school and starting to build real childhood friendships. It's fun to watch them grow and live their lives.

Now it's all shut down. I mean, I still have my job and it's good. I'm working from home until further notice. I haven't left the house in about two weeks. The kids are out of school for the next month if not the rest of the school year. They can't have playdates either. All the quartet and chorus stuff is down. Contests and shows are cancelled for the rest of the year so that also means my vacation plans are scrapped. International contest was going to be in LA this year. I've never been to California and was looking forward to it. My wife has been so sick from the first trimester of the pregnancy that she goes to bed pretty much right after the kids do. We haven't really spent time together in at least a month. And here I am on the eve of my 33rd birthday drinking my favorite stout alone and posting on an internet forum. No plans tomorrow because of the quarantine/social-distancing. I'm trying to make the best of it all... but it's starting to take a toll on me. I needed to share. Thanks for listening.

Dude,  you're looking at this from the wrong perspective, you get to spend quality time with your family in a safe environment and that's something not everyone has the luxury of.   

Stay safe and look after them 👍👍❤️

Yeah, and so what if school's closed? You are here; teach your kids a thing or two that they won't otherwise learn in classes. Alternatively, help your kids facilitate their real-life friendships online. It will work because they already know their friends in person.

Don't sit around and wring your hands; you are distracted from what you can do for yourself and your family right now with what you have.

I'm quarantined in a hotel room for 14 straight days, and I intend to make the most out of it - pound away at my university assignments, chat with my family on Skype and my online friends on Discord, and just observe covid-19 as it makes its rounds.

Anybody here play Urban Terror (https://www.urbanterror.info/home/)?  (free open source shooter sort of like CS:GO, mid-2000's tech, Q3A engine, new Unreal remake, UrT: Resurgence in the works but the original is still very playable, and if you've got less than stellar hardware it's really lightweight)  They've currently usually got 4-7 servers populated, but with a little coordination there's usually 10-20 empty servers as well if everyone ever wanted to jump on and shoot it out.  FFA, DM, TDM, CTF are supported modes, many many maps that can auto-download and apply in time to join if you don't already have them.  Worth a try, I've been playing a bit again recently.

Well, I haven't been hanging around these forums much over the last few years, the reason for this? I used to visit the forum often when I was in work (slacking off lol), however I contracted lung cancer and had to take early retirement, (with a nice big payout from my pension scheme :) ). So this self isolation during the corona virus lockdown has been same old same old for me as I have been receiving immunotherpay for the cancer and as my immune system w2as compromised I was some what self isolating for the past 2-3 years anyway. Good news is that I am now in recession, and although I have 2 more treatments left (which have been deferred during lockdown) I am free and clear of cancer as of now. Soon I shall only have to have a CT scan every 6 months to check I am still free of cancer.

I've apparently lost a significant amount of weight by accident due to depression draining my will to do much of anything, and suddenly none of my pants fit right. It's extremely irritating.

On the plus side, I recently discovered that Pluto TV exists and has a 24/7 American Gladiators channel. Does anyone else find that when you see the same ads over and over again, you start to kind of miss them when they're not showing anymore, even if you didn't even really like them? I've been having that experience watching Pluto over the past month.

My kids are starting their fall semester tomorrow.  What a lousy excuse for a summer this has been.  I mean, I am extremely grateful that no one in our family has gotten sick yet.  We have friends who have lost family members to COVID.  But looking at this through a nine-year-old's eyes, summer has come and gone and we've done basically nothing.  No road trips.  No playing with friends except through video (with the doors shut tight and blankets stuffed in the cracks because heaven help them if their un-cool parents heard them PLAYING).  In the grand scheme of things, we're ridiculously lucky, but I compare this summer to mine when I was a kid, hanging out with the cousins at my grandma's house, making Papa furious when he discovered we'd been using his prize Bartlett pears as projectile weapons in a game of "war..."  They're awfully lonesome.  They are coping remarkably well, but they are so much sadder than they were a year ago.

So, I'm signing off on "parent of guardian" on half a dozen syllabus and other forms from teachers and admins.  Thank goodness the city government and school districts are more frightened of COVID than the idiots at the capitol.  We're doing all school work online for at least the first six weeks.  Officially, after that, face to face or online both become "options."  I predict an armed revolt will come first.  All the teachers and parents I've talked to are terrified of the possibility of face-to-face classes beginning before vaccinations have taken place.

But one of the forms coming across my email is an update on special education.  And it strikes me all over again how strange it is that, in Texas at least, the gifted and talented program has been lumped under special education for children with disabilities.  Is that what my kids are to the state?  Disabled?  Is that what intelligence and creativity are now?  I'm probably over-reacting, but it just got under my skin all over again how disdainful this country is of people with the unmitigated gall to have been born with half a brain on their shoulders.

Oh well.  I hope you all are being as safe as you can, out there.  I'm trying not to watch the casualty list climb.  I've done everything I can think to do not to be part of the problem.  Waiting for this country to regain its senses is like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Take heart. November is less than 100 days away and we'll vote the Republicans out of the White House and Senate. Once Democrats have the trifecta of the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate, then the healing can begin. The first thing we need to do is get rid of the filibuster. The second thing is add four more seats to the Supreme Court. The third thing is to get rid of the Electoral College. The longer the Republican Party is stuck in the wilderness, the sooner it will stop being a death cult.

I'm dealing with severe OCD, and I don't know how much longer I can take it.

I posted back in October about losing my car, and I think that loss triggered an extreme worsening of my OCD. It was bad before, but now it takes me three hours to wash my hands after using the bathroom, and I've become utterly terrified of it. My bathroom has become a torture chamber and handwashing has become a trauma. This is a living hell that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I feel the need to vent about this wherever I can.

Title: Re: W-H-I-Y-L - boom shake-shake shake the-room.
Post by: Damage on August 31, 2020, 12:40:25 pm
I have a very serious need to vent, and this may be the healthiest way for me to do it.  I don't know any of you personally, but I feel you generally have peoples' best interests at heart.  What I'm getting at is, I don't think anyone will take any of this personally.

When my first son was very newly born, he was diagnosed with a semi-rare syndrome that required multiple abdominal surgeries to correct.  To sum up, everything went terrific, he is healthy and almost 14 now.

But at the time, I made a decision that haunted me and followed me for quite some time.  My wife stayed at the hospital with him (a major regional facility, nationally recognized, not going to be more specific so don't ask) but I went back home because circumstances made that seem like a reasonable choice.  There wasn't anything for me to do, my wife would be with him, and she could and did give me regular calls to let me know how things were progressing.  This lasted maybe less than two weeks, but I don't remember specifically.  For several months afterward, I felt guilty for not being there despite the positive outcome.  I told myself that I would be a good father for him, and spend time with him and do things with him to make it up to him.

I have succeeded and failed multiple times at this.

But all of that has paled in comparison to the trials of this last week.

My wife, whom I've known and loved for over 20 years now went in for a scheduled operation last week to remove her gall bladder.  This was something that had been expected for a few months, and after one postponement due to Covid restrictions, it went very well.  I brought her home late that afternoon, and things were progressing apparently normally.

Fast forward to Saturday evening, when she was not feeling well.  We took a short walk, then she had a light meal to take her prescription pain med, after which she sat down to relax as much as possible.  A couple hours later, she took a shower, and I went to help her get cleaned up and dressed as usual.  This is where things went wrong

She felt sharp pain in the chest, had some trouble breathing, her body was trembling but her pulse was trying to race.  After a phone call, we took her to the ER, where she collapsed in the entryway as I was trying to walk her in.


The doctors started treating the blood clotting that was the issue, but this caused other problems that the facility here at home can't handle properly.  They asked me and I made the instinctive choice to have her airlifted to the Major Regional Facility I talked about earlier.  I felt that if they could do such a good job on our infant son, they would be the right choice to handle a grown woman with internal bleeding issues.


But due to Covid restrictions (because she tested positive) I won't be allowed in the ICU with her.  No visitors are allowed into a Covid-positive unit...although rules were bent for me last night to allow me to see her before she was flown away.

Since I can't be there to
...do nothing but watch her sleep and occasionally wake up for seconds at a time...I've made the choice again to just be at home.

I also have two children who need their father right now more than ever, because they are scared of what might happen.

There's also less reason for me to be physically there...all I could possibly do is answer questions and phone calls...all of which I can do here.

But again, the decision is making me feel like the worst person alive.

I *DO* believe that my wife will eventually be made healthy, even though it may take several weeks of recovery time.  I have to believe there will be a positive outcome to this.


Am I doing the right thing?  or am I a coward?  Am I going to end up regretting this forever?

Make it clear to her that you wanted to be there, but couldn't.

This all seems like it's out of your control, It doesn't seem like you could even make a choice given the lack of options.

If your family understands that, then you should not feel too guilty about it.

Yeah that! And if you're personally feeling bad, it may help you to put yourself in your wife's shoes: if you were in her position, what would you want the healthy partner to do? Absolutely to take care of your children, and stay safe, to keep the ill one from worrying.

It'll all work out, and when it does, she'll be happy that you and the kids are safe.

thanks for your helpful words--really mean that.  as I said, though, I really needed to just vent that all out, and aiming it at the family seemed wrong.  Not that perfect strangers are better, but

for what it's worth, there's been a huge amount of support from both of our families, and everybody has said some similar things.

If you're interested, I may be able to visit her soon after all.

We went through similar circumstances with my mother-in-law recently.  It's not the same as it being your wife.  Not even close, but I was watching a lot of the hand-wringing going on with my father-in-law and my wife.  It was truly agonizing for them not to be able to be with her, even though intellectually they all knew it was the right thing to do.  Sister-in-law lives in the same town, but she's got a 9-month-old and absolutely cannot risk bringing something home.  Wife and I live 5 hours away, and all we could do even if we drove all that way was stand outside the hospital and wring our hands.  Even my father-in-law was not allowed in the building.  Not even when it was over and time to take her back home.  They wheeled her out to the car and helped her in, but they were dead serious about not allowing any additional risk of contagion into the hospital.

They have to be.  Other people's lives depend on it.

So, staying away and taking care of the kids may seem cold, but it's not.  It's the most compassionate thing you can do.  Stay in touch with her in the meantime and let her facetime / zoom / skype / whatever with you and the kids.

In case anyone was concerned, things have gotten a lot better.  Her situation has dramatically improved, she's well on her way to a recovery.  Not saying she's perfectly better, healed, and ready to go home, because there's still a long road ahead until she's going to be anything like normal again.  But it's going the right directions.

Thank you to any- and every-one who gave any kind of support through words, prayers, or just thoughts.

Just got tested a week ago. Results are again negative, thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  Still have my job at the supermarket and they just increased my hours this week, so more money in the bank.

But FFS, it's exhausting constantly being on the front lines of the coronavirus where I have to take precautions against the risk of infection every day especially from dumbass customers who remove their masks to clarify things to me or just wear their masks wrong in the first place. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to tell customers to cover their noses with their masks.

Remember folks: wearing a face mask without covering your nose is like wearing a Speedo with your hammer hanging out the front. :ick:

Really screwed up this time. Had an appointment with a psychiatrist for tomorrow. I sent him the new patient paperwork this morning, but it turns out that he wanted it a week in advance and is now refusing to see me tomorrow. I have to reschedule with him or make an appointment with someone else. Meanwhile, my OCD is getting worse and worse every day and I don't know how much longer I can take it. This is making me want to just lay down and die. I feel like I should've just shot myself when I had the chance.

That's dickish of them tbh. I know that these services depend on the paperwork being in order, but, well, you're suffering from mental health issues. Stuff like this is just one of the symptoms.

I've been suicidal myself, I can say with hindsight that it's very good that I didn't off myself. All that tiny stuff, like shared moments with friends, or books read or films watched, tend to add up, in a "I'm glad I survived all that for this" kind of way. It does get better - and I realize that saying this doesn't really make what you're going through right now easier to bear. Just be aware that you're not the only one, and that a lot of people can empathize with you.

In addition to Goober's post, you can also try the Samaritans (https://www.samaritans.org/), who are active in the UK. Wikipedia has a global list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines).

The problem with doing something like that is that I've come to believe that I don't deserve distraction. I don't deserve to try to detach myself or try to make myself feel better, because that's "running from the harsh reality". Well, that and I just have a strong self-loathing in general. See, the thing about my OCD is that while it's functionally similar to germaphobic OCD, I'm not afraid of "contamination" in the sense that I'm worried I'll get sick. For me, it's that if I let things get contaminated, I'm a loser and a failure as a human being, and I deserve to suffer for it. That's also why I have so much trouble fighting the compulsions - because I think I'm a loser who doesn't deserve a break, so I don't have the right to, for example, tell myself things like "I don't care if there are bits of bodily fluids still left on my hands, I'm tired of washing" or "I don't care if maybe my hands accidentally got close to that dirty thing, I didn't mean to touch it, so I won't torture myself over it".

Eugh, I know that one. It's hard to punch through the wall of self loathing, especially if you believe that you're not worth investing any time in. I'm not trying to diminish that what you're going through right now is unfairily hard.

I think the self-loathing is the biggest obstacle right now. Every time I try to stop myself from doing a compulsion, I run up against the self-loathing, and it asks me what makes me think I have the right to not suffer. Lately, it's also been giving me self-destructive urges. Like, I'm getting urges to deliberately contaminate everything and make myself suffer. It's like self-harm but mental.

3 am, returning from nightwalk with 2 fresh, cold beers in my bag to chill out my brain after day of work... And suddenly large, dark shape crossed the street 20m from me. Something quadrupedal and horse-sized. It stopped in the middle of the road to take a look at me, but decided to walk away.

Encounters with wildlife in the middle of the night is nothing new, but usually I encounter stray dogs, cats and hares. Sometimes foxes, deers and roes... Lel, but not this thing.

Either big deer or female moose as I saw no antlers. Wildlife is mostly harmless, but... Let's say I prefer avoid encountering large, dark monsters in the middle of the night.

Having a major damn anxiety attack. When I went into my bathroom to brush my teeth an hour ago, I had a sudden urge to walk over and touch the toilet so that I'd have to suffer through a full four-hour OCD hand-washing session. I'm pretty sure I took one step towards it and might have extended my arm in that direction. What the hell is this? Is this some weird kind of self-harm, an urge to self-flagellate born of extreme self-hatred?

I really wish I hadn't been born.

On a new antidepressant now. It's making my depression worse. Maybe I'll stop my OCD rituals not because I feel better and think I'm clean enough, but because I'm too depressed to care and I give up on ever feeling clean again.

I don't think I'm depressed because of a chemical imbalance. I'm depressed because my situation is hopeless and I'm either powerless to change it or too incompetent and pathetic to change it. Maybe the meds make it worse because my brain chemistry is actually fine, so trying to mess with it just screws it up.OCD only happened because I couldn't cope with the other problems in my life, the real problems. So that would mean that the OCD is my fault for not being able to fix the other problems or for developing the other problems in the first place.

I'm sorry for blogging here. I don't have many places to turn to.

I was under the impression that it was almost impossible to predict which antidepressant would work for a given person, so the standard procedure was to just try each of them until you find the one that works. Sounds like you need to sliiide over to the next one.

Remember: anybody telling you that you're incompetent and pathetic is lying to you. Even if it's your own brain saying that, it's lying.

We all have worth.

@SL1, blaming the victim is almost universally never the right move. Even if the victim is yourself.

Goodness knows I understand the impulse. The feeling that there has to be a reason you feel this awful, and maybe it’s because you deserve it? Look, none of us is perfect. None of us doesn’t have a banner flapping behind us of all our many regrets. Not if we’re being honest with ourselves. But unless you’ve made it your mission in life to make someone else miserable, spare yourself the lash. You feel this way because you are depressed. It is a biochemical symptom of depression.

The drugs? They can help, but at least in my experience, they aren’t a cure. And like Scourge said, it is almost impossible to know in advance which will help and which will hurt. And most of them take weeks before your system has equilibrated enough to tell. The change from one to another is almost always worse than whatever ground state you started from. Please be patient.

One thing I definitely sympathize with is there’s no pill you can take that will fix your job, fix your isolation, or change the circumstances you are living in. Hard as it is when you feel like you are living in at the bottom of a well, some changes you have to force your way through.

I’m not exactly a shining example of mental health. I’ve got an anxiety disorder which used to be crippling to the point of constant fear-induced nausea. Felt sick so I wouldn’t eat, so I’d get so hungry I’d get more nauseated and you get the picture. 2 years of that. But I’m better now. I’m not the picture of mental health. Still on meds and probably will be the rest of my life, but I’m worlds better than I was.  For me, i had to give up on academia and move over 1800 miles south, but it got me out of a toxic environment so I could at least start to put my life back together.

Don’t be afraid to think big. You’re worth it.

It doesn't matter. I can't get back what I've lost, I'll never have what I really want, and I'll never fill the void in my life. Even if I do have worth, it's not the kind of worth I care about. I'm losing the will to even vent anymore, because it's pointless and everyone just ends up frustrated with me. I didn't get what I needed when I needed it, and now it's too late. I've spent at least ten years thinking I needed to die. Maybe this is finally it. Maybe my subconscious mind knew what I had to do but also knew I was too comfortable to do it, so it ramped up the OCD to make my existence so painful that I'd have no choice.

I appreciate your attempts to help. I'll try not to bother you guys again.

Live so I can do what? Everything I really wanted from life is out of my reach now, even if my OCD disappeared tomorrow. I can't fix it and I can't cope with it. The rest of my time on this planet is going to be spent in dull emptiness at best and agonizing despair at worst. If only I wasn't such a damn coward, I could end this.

I don't care about achieving things, and I don't care about what I don't know I want. I care about what I do know I want, and achievements are meaningless when you still hate yourself and feel like someone ripped out your soul. No achievement can fill this void.

Nope. Because we have perspective: The things that you hate about yourself, we can see that they don't matter. Even just as tiny little bits of text on the internet, we can see that the good things about you far outweigh whatever you think are the bad things.

I know it's hard to argue with your own feelings, but you just have to believe in the good parts of yourself, and that any parts that tell you suck are lying to you. Someday you'll realize this, and it'll seem crazy that you felt any other way. You just have to push through this rough patch.

Same.  I've been in the depths before.  No one needs to be lost there.  Think of your brain as a signal generator that generates different signals based on different inputs.  Some of those inputs are the signal it itself makes.  Sometimes, it can make signals that result in a terrible screeching feedback loop of pain, misery, and self loathing.

It is a malfunction in the signal generator.  It's sending you bad data, and it feels terrible, but the signal generate is malfunctioning.  With the right input and the right set of meds to adjust signal weighting, it IS possible to get back to a place where it is possible to be happy and achieve things that you can be proud of.

I promise.  Maybe all this **** we're saying isn't helping.  But understand WE think you have worth.  Your life has value, even if your brain is telling you it doesn't, you do matter.

If you're not ready to write me off, it's only because you haven't been talking to me long enough. There are things I won't budge on. There's lots of advice and suggestions I can't follow because of my condition, and when I tell people that, they yell at me for it. I just had it happen again in the past few days on another forum. So I guess I'll cut my losses and stop talking. For now. I'm sure it won't be long before I do it again.

I just wish someone could have stepped in and helped me with my real problems before it was too late. Before the pain and helplessness of those problems broke my mind and gave OCD an opening to take advantage of. I just didn't know what to do. I was a scared, confused kid with problems that terrified me, and I couldn't handle it. I just can't believe it's so bad.

If anybody yells at you for something out of your control, that's not a healthy place to be.

There is a board called The Classics (https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=136.0), but I don't recall seeing this one on there!

My heart is heavy today, because I just found out that yet another of my favorite authors has passed away. Greg Bear.

When I was young, I read The Forge of God and that was the first time I actually appreciated what alien contact could actually be like if hostile: so technologically asymmetric that most events would be utterly incomprehensible. You couldn’t even call it a war. To the people caught up in the midst of such huge events, what are you supposed to do? how could you even hold onto your sanity? What agency could individual lives and families have against something so alien and advanced it might as well be a cosmological force?

I felt so small and in awe. That story affected me like few others have since then.

I’ve read just about all of Greg’s writings by now. He’s had phases I loved (Hardfought, Heads, and Queen of Angels especially) and some I didn’t especially care for, especially over the last decade or so. But it saddens me to know I’ll never again have the excitement of seeing what that fantastic mind has come up with this time.

His death was brought on by multiple strokes when blood clots that had been hiding for years broke loose. After several days with no hope of recovery, life support was removed per his pre-stated wishes.

Sigh.

Happy Thanksgiving, HLP.

I just cut down a dead tree to toss into the firepit this spring.  It went off to the side more than I intended, and since i misjudged the distance one limb hit a power line on the way down.  I was thankful to see lights still on in my house.  :)

Aside from finishing a few choice Freespace relates voice roles lately, I have managed to upgrade my job from a health and safety industry testing related job (which I took to be closer to home fornmy young kids at an over 50% pay cut), to a home-based UXO Operations and UXO Specialist job with contractor management responsibilities. 

I think this will be my forever job :D <3   

I get to ply my favourite trade, apply my corporate schmoozing experience and look after the good lads/bring the hammer of God down on the bad eggs.
