Hooray, page 1 :)

The only bad thing about starting from the beginning of a pointless thread is that you want to talk about some of the stuff you see but it's extremely old and people will have no idea what you are talking about :(

Tha reminds me of the time I wanted to buy three smoke detectors at B&Q, and had to go through the till three times to buy one at a time.  The computer was set to charge as follows:
1 - £3.99
2 - £7.99
3 - £12.99 [sic]
And the cashier couldn't be persuaded (or had no means) to charge for them individually.

I've read of different ways to kill the Dragon but my strategy is just to keep this going in the background at work and save at intervals and upgrade my sword to the max and then hopefully kill it before my potions run out :D

Either that or just keep eating candy till I have 2-3 times more health then the Dragon...

Post by: Papersatan on 13 Sep 2013, 08:21
I think it is easier to touch your own face less than to wash/disinfect your hands more.  When I work retail in particular, I'm going to touch floors and people and all sorts of gross surfaces, instead of constantly disinfecting, I just make sure to wash my hands before I eat.  If you shower once a day, use the bathroom at least twice (I've an iron bladder), and eat three time, you are already washing your hands at least 6 times a day... unless they are actually getting dirty, like, (you touched raw meat, or poop, or you picked up dirty tissues) or you have some need to keep touching your mouth/face (like you have itchy eyes, or bite your nails), it seems like 6+ times a day of washing your hands is probably enough.

I don't get sick any more frequently than the average person, so I think my system works just fine?
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: nekowafer on 13 Sep 2013, 08:37
I don't use disinfectant after every person I touch, just before I touch my face/food/etc after touching another person or something I deem gross. But I also have some obsessive compulsive tendencies that I cant really shake that tell me to do it more often. I try to negate that by using non-antibacterial soap when I have to wash my hands a lot.

Also: I have seen someone at work use the clearly marked no-water-needed hand sanitizer to wash her hands in the sink. I don't get it.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: LTK on 13 Sep 2013, 08:50
I realise my evidence is anecdotal, but I only wash my hands when they feel exceptionally dirty, after I've cleaned up something nasty in the kitchen or the bathroom, but that's maybe once a week. I shower way more often than I wash my hands, and I haven't had any illness other than the common cold in years. (Other than that idiopathic sudden deafness thing, but what are the odds that not washing your hands makes you deaf?) Modern society does a good enough job of eliminating pathogens already, it's not like I have to worry about contracting cholera any more.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: Papersatan on 13 Sep 2013, 08:55
I'm gonna say "gross" if you are admitting you don't wash your hands after taking a shit.  A lot of hand washing is to keep others from getting sick, for instance, washing your hands after you use the bathroom...  it's one of the things you ought to be doing because you are part of a society and your practices effect the health of others.  Like getting vaccinated.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: LTK on 13 Sep 2013, 09:09
Oh yes, I forgot about public (and other people's) bathrooms. I do wash my hands coming out of those, mostly because I'm expected to. I don't think it really makes any difference, because most of us aren't doing anything that would make our excreted gut bacteria end up outside of the bathroom, are we?
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: pwhodges on 13 Sep 2013, 09:32
Excreted gut bacteria are as harmless as they come.  There are better reasons for washing your hands at that stage.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: jwhouk on 13 Sep 2013, 09:59
If it gets on your hands and you promptly down a sandwich without wearing plastic gloves, yeah, it IS going to "do something" outside of the bathroom. That's why I wash my hands after using the bathroom.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: Barmymoo on 13 Sep 2013, 10:35
I am pretty sure that someone not washing their hands after going to the toilet would be a deal-breaker with me for relationships or living together. It's incredibly unhygenic and really, WHY would you not wash your hands? Exactly how hard is it to run some water, rub your hands together with some soap and rinse them? Even if you're not doing a 20 second hospital clean, at least make a bit of an effort.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: ankhtahr on 13 Sep 2013, 11:09
To be honest, until a few years ago I was similar. Maybe not that much, but a little bit.

Now I'm washing my hands more and more. I don't like the feeling of unwashed hands. Especially in the summer, I always wash my hands, as they get sweaty very easily. Sometimes I come from the toilet, washed my hands, work on my computer for an hour, and then wash my hands again, as my hands became almost sticky. Also I like to keep my keyboards clean. And my trackball doesn't work too great with dirty hands. And then there is the trouble I have with having food stuff on my hands. There are times, when I have two slices of bread for breakfast, and that makes me wash my hands thrice. Once before sitting down, once after eating the first slice of bread (as I often have Prosciutto for breakfast), and once after eating the second slice.

Speaking of toileting habits.....I've recently been introduced to the concept of "Family Cloth".....personally, it just doesn't sound all that hygienic but does anyone else have experience with this? I have such a bizarre fascination with it.

Basically cloth toilet paper. I like the idea, but it's tough to keep up with. I tried it for a bit, but only for pee. Number 2 got regular toilet paper and all was as usual. It's a lot of laundry, but in theory, especially with a house full of women, it could save a lot of money.

I still use cloth pads though, and I love them.

It's different for guys, since you would only need it for poo. The idea is to save trees and be good for the environment and so on. But there are some amenities I will not give up, and a clean butt and poo-free laundry are two of them.

Wait hang on, do guys not ever need to wipe their penis after urinating? Surely there are sometimes drops of urine still left? I am flabbergasted at how fast my brother and I got through toilet paper when we shared a bathroom if he wasn't using it after urinating - I'm sure he used more than me!

pretty much and sometimes.  Usually I tap mine with my hand and flex my urethra muscles.  After that I am done.  No urine is ever on the outside of the head.

As for your brother well, thats a question you would have to take up with him.

I didn't quantify the amount of toilet paper we were using, to be fair. And I'm well aware that men use toilet paper to clean up after other things too - but my brother was pre-pubescent nearly all of the time that we shared a bathroom.

hehe I used to do this in college.  I don't rightly know why.

It's called token compliance.  It's because you (like automatic brain processes you, not necessarily rational thinking you) want to collect the social benifits of complying with a norm without the cost of actually complying with it. Passing one's hands quickly under running water, or even just turning on the water is a common example.  another really common one is patting one's pockets an then refusing change to a homeless person, regardless of whether your pockets contain money.

Deal with lots of homeless people here in DC.  I usually ignore them or tell them I got nothing for them.  Most (not all) homeless people I encounter are professional bums and not "on hard times" bums.

It doesn't matter if most people rationally think that providing money to beggars is a bad idea, or if these particular beggars *need* the money,  we live in a society which values generosity/caring about others and there is social utility in appearing to have those values (I'd argue that the need to defend not giving them change is actually evidence of this). Not giving them money isn't a sign that you are not these things, but having others see you give them money, or attempt to has a social reward of others thinking more highly of you.  If you start to pay attention, to yourself or to others, you will notice a strange trend of people patting a pocket, but not making eye contact or even breaking stride. They are not looking for change, they are attempting to get the benefit of complying with the norm without the cost.  Again, it's not a deliberate "I'm going to trick people into thinking I care" thing, it's a result of social pressure to conform with norms.

Another example: next time you are on crowded public transportation and someone gives up their seat for an elderly person, watch the leg muscles of the people seated around them.  Chances are someone will flex as though they were "just about to get up but you beat me to it!".  They didn't want to give up their seat, and likely would not have, but, once the cost of having to stand is taken away, they will give token compliance to the norm, and likely receive the social benefit from those around them. 


I don't want to derail this thread by making too many points, so here is a cat:

Excreted gut bacteria are as harmless as they come.  There are better reasons for washing your hands at that stage.

An enormous amount of public health work has gone into safe disposal of excreted gut bacteria. They cause a lot of trouble in the wrong places.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: pwhodges on 13 Sep 2013, 16:04
The important risk is not from normal gut bacteria, though, but from those causing sickness, such as gastroenteritis; but remember that using shared toilets where there is a risk of infection from unknown strangers, you are also at risk of infection after washing your hands, from the taps and door furniture when you leave.  If you yourself are unwell, it is of course your responsibility to take steps to avoid leaving such a trail of infection, and washing is important there (so is not giving in to the notion that "you're well enough to go to work" is sufficient justification for going in to infect all your co-workers).  My remark was too flippant as it stood, though, I agree.

At least it's not the radioactive iodine treatments she went through two years ago... you sweat that stuff out, have to wash the sheets daily, can't be close (within 8 feet) to her for more than a half hour at a time, 6 times a day tops.  And wash, wash, wash if you have to touch her.  Oh yeah, I'm the guy who transfers her to and from bed and her chair...

@Papersatan: Yeah I notice that stuff too on the train, and I revel in making people do that by giving up my seat first.  Sometimes they try to explain that they didn't see the pregnant lady just standing next to them, or the old man struggling to stand with a walker.  I see them purposely pretending not to see them or do the whole fake get up thing and its quite pathetic.  When its the "homeless" in this city, I don't give change/money, nor do I do the pat my pockets thing.  I just say "sorry pal I got nothing for you" or just plain ignore them.  Sure I've given food away but people coming up to me to "rap me a song for some change" as I am hurrying to work, or the bums who are fully capable of working but fake injuries and lay in the street rejecting food but asking for money, those people can get change or take up time from someone else but not me.  I am just glad they arnt aggressive about it like in some other cities where they follow you or try to fight you...yet.

Don't be too hard on people who look like they're "fully capable of working". Long-term unemployment fucking sucks and it saps your self-confidence and your energy until all you can do is get through each day. I'm not saying that you should give money to people begging in the street - actually I think this is a bad idea, because it simply assuages a sense of guilt without actually doing anything meaningful to help - but I do encourage supporting charities which work with people who've fallen on bad luck (and I consider debilitating drug addictions to be bad luck, even if bad choices led to that state), especially ones like The Big Issue. "Just get a job" is an attitude which shows complete ignorance of what it is like not to be able to get a job, and to watch your life crumbling and not know how to stop it.

Been there.  I'm 51, with a Ph.D. that qualifies me for very little.  I couldn't even get a job at the envelope factory, because I don't have line production experience; I don't have a CDL (Commercial Driver's license), so I can't drive a delivery vehicle or a bus.  The taxi services weren't hiring.  I don't have a mechanic's / plumber's / electrician's license, so even though I can do all those (and frequently do around my own house and for friends and our church), I can't legally get a job at it.  That left retail, and... well, I'm short, fat, bald and old.  Not gonna get hired when there are all those attractive schoolkids out there for hire.  Can't teach high school or lower without state teacher's certification which requires an Ed. degree, even though I've been teaching for about 30 years, and the area colleges aren't hiring. 

We almost lost the house. 

That probably would have pushed me over the edge, especially if I'd lost my family in the process as well.  You would have seen me on street in pretty short order. 

I know there are professional beggars, alcoholics, the mentally ill out on the streets.  I think what most people don't know is how close they are to being there themselves. 

Sorry, that wasn't really pointless.  Here's a crabby old kitty.

So there's a pickup in my town that I've seen a few times.  If you wanted to conjure a caricature of a stereotypical Deep South redneck, this vehicle, its owner, and his friends are it.  The pickup is a F250, has a lift kit, they blare country music, dress like rednecks, the girls wear Daisy Dukes (I've seen em as one girl puts her legs up on the dash), they're all drinking beer, and the icing on the cake is the 3x5' Stars and Bars that flies on a short flagpole mounted in the box.  Every time I've seen this pickup, that is the scene I've seen.  Only thing missing is the gun rack in the back window (it might be there, I haven't gotten a good look at that area).

I've been tempted to roll down my windows and crank my music volume (I have an aftermarket sound system that came with my vehicle) and play something like Ramstein or House music or some other most uncountry-like music possible to see how they'd react; and the fact that I'm driving a Toyota and have CA plates would just add to it.  But frankly, I don't feel like getting shot.

There's tons of those brodozers around here, and I'm WELL north of the Mason-Dixon. (Not as far north as what jwhouk is talking about, though.)

Although, the stars and bars aren't anywhere near as popular here. More common is a pair of 4" stacks, with the (diesel) engine massively overfueled, dumping very large, thick clouds of black smoke all over everything.

See a few of those around here, too, and every one of 'em has the stars and bars (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Confederate_Rebel_Flag.svg) either in the rear window (as a one-way visible transfer), or painted on the tailgate.  There is one with the huge flag on the bed-mounted pole.  And they're all over on the front plate holder of cars (PA only has rear plates).

So I spent the better part of the entire weekend playing Mortal Kombat on the PS3.
Let me tell you... Challenge Tower 275/300 is such a bitch it's ridiculous.  3 Goro's with one life meter, with Ermac.
That was about 3 hours of getting my ass handed to me... and another 2-3 hours trying to practice his combos.

Still.. pretty awesome game :)

Presumably the same ones who got all bent out of shape when an American-born US citizen sang "God Bless America" at the 2013 MLB All-Star game. (http://publicshaming.tumblr.com/post/55715208108/baseball-fans-super-angry-hispanic-american-superstar)I've met plenty of people who think you have to be white to be a Real Australian, so I doubt those tweets are anything other than what they seem.

Yeah, it's really gross. It's so blatantly obvious that when people talk about "immigrants" here that they mean "middle-eastern looking" people; immigration not required. Similarly when other Swedes internalize those attitudes as "us immigrants". Dude, you were born here.

Always it gets back to scary brown people. I've literally heard "it makes you scared of being around them" recently in person. No, actually, it doesn't. It makes your xenophobic ass scared of being around 'them'. I have the basic thinking skills to not consider some random brown person as representative of everyone else.

If anything it makes me a whole lot more concerned being around YOU. The fearmongering far-right doesn't exactly have an amazing record of being non-transphobic.

@ Akima and LTK
I don't consider myself sheltered (far from it) but I usually don't encounter stuff like that in real life.  Maybe its because my ancestors are West European and I don't encounter racism all that often.  However, on the internet plenty of people will say stuff like that just to get a rise out of people and not actually meaning it.  I can't say the same for Oz though.

and not actually meaning it.

~Intent is magic~

I don't give a shit about them personally or their intentions, they still perpetuate very harmful ideas. Also most people like that, with such an utter disregard of that fact, actually are racist/transphobic/homophobic/etc. on some level; it's just not something they're very open about.

If someone thinks it is ok to "just say stuff like that" as a joke, or to get a rise out of people, you are racist as fuck and people are right to call you on it. 

"I didn't mean it, look how upset you got, haha" is a weak ass defense and if you buy it you are a moron.  Why, in a country where people are still  beaten  (http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130418/melrose/man-beaten-anti-muslim-attack-outside-bronx-applebees-nypd-says),  shot (http://news.yahoo.com/ferrell-kerrick-police-unarmed-shooting-charlotte-191520307.html),  not offered jobs (http://www.techyville.com/2012/11/news/unemployed-black-woman-pretends-to-be-white-job-offers-suddenly-skyrocket/),  not offered housing  (http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2013/HUDNo.13-091), and  stopped  (http://www.nyclu.org/node/1598)and  searched (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/us/racial-profiling-at-boston-airport-officials-say.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0) based on the color of their skin, would it be ok to try an get a rise out of people by 'pretending' to be racist?

The only people I know who could think that was ok to do, or to tolerate, are people who are racists and think that racism is "not a real problem".  Why would it being trolling, or hyperbole make it any less terrible? How would that make it less racist? What that reads like to me is "oh, it's not so bad, these are people who wouldn't admit they were racist in real life."   Those are the worst kind of racists, because they get put in charge of things that matter.  At least when someone is a KKK wizard he isn't (usually) going to be made police chief, or a TSA guard, or a teacher.

Well, apparently it remains pointless to try to convince white moderates that racism still exists and is harmful, and that it is not ok just just give people a pass because they are "otherwise nice people" and "didn't mean it like that" and "things are not so bad, and pointing out all this racism just makes there be conflict"

A lot of it was deliberate playing down the dangers combined with a small level of sheer ignorance despite the examples of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It took a long time before the reality of Nuclear War finally sank into the psyche of the general public, and even then a lot of people preferred to adopt the 'Ostrich Mode' when it came to it.

Also you might want to go into settings and turn numbers and particles off.

I assume you mean you want to buy whatever would optimize your ROI? For example, a factory produces four times as many cookies as a mine. I think it therefore stands to reason that as long as a mine is cheaper than 1/4 of the prize of a factory (minus some epsilon to account for the increase in prize of every subsequent min), you should buy the mine. Or am I thinking too simple here?

Also, thanks for the hint about the effects.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: snalin on 18 Sep 2013, 02:20
It's a bit simplistic - as there's a different amount of x2-upgrades for every building, so investing in more than the absolute minimum of say farms, factories and mines will lead to a slower upgrade path. Also, you might catch up in the long run if you go a bit slower early on due to waiting for higher level things rather than buying several of the low level buildings.

See: this post.

According to someone else, about a minute, but I didn't keep count myself.

I cheated and checked. You have to click five times within a third of a second. Good luck!

(alt+shift+num lock on windows activates a mode which lets you double click with numpad +. Turn it off again with the same combo, also turning it off sounds crazy)

For some reason the title of this thread makes me feel uncomfortable whenever I read it.

Probably because the "wut" is annoying as hell and you can't change it to be correct. You just have to stare at it, losing braincells from stupidity.

Think of it as one of Marten's incoherent responses to complete stupidity - which is what this thread is largely about.

The joke is that the person making the image hasn't watched the Disney channel since probably around 2003 or so and as such does not recognize any of the many successful shows that have since aired on that network. Two of those in the image have given rise to incredibly popular pop singers who I would imagine the person also deems as "garbage" and "not real music."

I guess the real joke here, the one that is deeper than just the "these shows aren't the Disney of my youth" one, is that the person has effectively become like their parents, or older cousins, who thought that Even Stevens and Kim Possible and N*Sync and the Britney Spears were all just garbage and not a product of the real Disney.

Holy wow, they fly while carrying their young? I always thought that bats were amateur flyers compared to most birds, given their shorter evolutionary history, but I don't know of any bird that carries their young with them while in the air! Having claws on your wings must really help with that.

but if it's electrical then its a power sword (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Power_sword#.Uj-zgRBn3rQ) (or power kopis in this case!)

Though I like chainsword better.  Could have both with the frost blade (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Frost_Blade#.Uj-z9RBn3rQ) I suppose.

She's pretty. I can't get into GTA 5.. you can't just start random police brawls.. you'll die in like a minute. The UI is mostly a mystery as hardly anything is explained, most of the missions so far are boring and why in the hell does the menu take 30 seconds to load? I thought that was part of the 8GB+ install that took 30 minutes to complete, 10 MB at a time.

"Golden Dawn" is a horribly generic name anyway. :D
It is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Dawn_(disambiguation)). My first thought on reading the name was of the hermetic order (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn). Why do I know about an obscure club of loopy British people? Because Sax Rohmer, the notorious "Yellow Peril" author was (or claimed to be) a member, and I've read, and written, a good deal about a racist genre in media that remains popular to this day. In an amusing little irony, Sax Rohmer died in 1959 of the "Asian Flu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H2N2#Asian_flu)", a pandemic that originated in China...

I was shooting with one hand and the thing I was shooting was in my other hand (and I don't have the steadiest hands). I usually don't do that, but...come on. Also if it was in landscape mode, you wouldn't see the entire length of the chain unless I was farther away.

Edit: Honestly, I'm kind of annoyed YouTube doesn't have a player option for portrait videos yet, where it doesn't just jam it in the middle of a landscape video player.

But when they create extended terminology, it gets worse...

"vertical envelopment" = parachute drop
"target rich environment" = we're surrounded and/or heavily outnumbered
"inadvertent collateral damage" = we B-52'd the entire village.

*nitpick*
it can be either.  Nowadays,  it is usually by helicopter... but:
"A tactical maneuver in which troops, either air-dropped (parachute) or air-landed (helicopter), attack the rear and flanks of a force, in effect cutting off or encircling the force."
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: GarandMarine on 26 Sep 2013, 19:40
The term "Airborne Assault" is the correct one for parachuting attacks.

Vertical envelopment is DIRECTLY linked to heliborne assault per the original document on heliborne assault Marine Corps manual Phib-31. That definition from the free dictionary is also shaky at best Grog.

one of my Marine SSgts has a video of one of his squad waking up with one of those on his chest.
it's all fun and games and screams
until
one of the ohter Marines sees it, flips out, and starts crushing the spider with a rifle butt.
full on swinging.  not jabbing.
oh yeah.

All I know is what they told us in training. Which is they're dangerous and we're to terminate them with extreme prejudice. Information covered included that they do not have venom, but instead apparently carry a natural pain killer (the types found in Iraq and Afghanistan any way). I can also confirm with various Marines and soldiers that orders were issued under the ROE that those armed with a sidearm could use it to engage a camel spider, and were encouraged to do so.

They also get bigger then that wiki article would have you believe.

They can in fact do pretty solid damage. Anything causing an abscess is not to be trifled with.


For the record I have worked extensively for years to attempt to overcome my arachnophobia. I have let three different species of tarantula walk on me, and even given one "pets". I have researched spiders. I have watched video, I have interacted with them. I still hate them and their kind with every fiber of my being while acknowledging their place in surrounding ecosystem.

Re: Philosoraptor:

Ah, but what if each new life is like being continually reincarnated to do everything correctly to live the longest? You reach a checkpoint, you run, you trip and die, you are reborn as someone else, you try again, you get past, it feels like something that happened to you but that you know did not, and the cycle repeats.

Perhaps that's not only Deja Vu. Perhaps you are experiencing the lives of the dead. Perhaps it's even proof of a linear timeline which lacks a future. Maybe all predictions are past selves attempting to aim for the optimal result (?).

What if even those who make the stupid decision to drive 4 times over the legal blood alcohol limit had lived several times over, and what they experience as Deja Vu is really the subtle skip in the beats of the ever-moving timeline.

This could also explain the ability to dream of things you could never feel. (e.g. the man born without legs feels pain in his absent limbs). Maybe past selves have lived in alternate realities with subtle differences, and when you dream, they get to live their lives, or you get to see them living theirs.

Ahhh, philosoraptor.

How did they know it was a camel spider bite if the soldier only noticed he'd been bitten after he'd woken up?

This could also explain the ability to dream of things you could never feel. (e.g. the man born without legs feels pain in his absent limbs).
As far as I know, phantom limbs can only cause pain if the person had experienced pain in those limbs while they existed. Regardless, even if you cannot feel something from an external source, you can still imagine and dream of those sensations. A man born without legs will still have legs in his somatosensory map of his body.

Faced with danger, or any kind of task that involves risk of death, a yeti will save its life up to that point and then proceed with all due caution, yet in the comfortable knowledge that, should everything go pancake shaped, it will wake up at the point where it saved itself wit, and this is the important part, knowledge of the events which have just happened but which will not not happen because it's not going to be such a damn fool next time.

So, Loki, how long did you think it would take?

They can in fact do pretty solid damage. Anything causing an abscess is not to be trifled with.
How did they know it was a camel spider bite if the soldier only noticed he'd been bitten after he'd woken up?


They can compare it to other camel spider bites received in theater. Not like the Docs haven't seen them before.

I drank mare's blood on the run when I rode with the Great Khan On the frozen Mongol steppe while at his height I's a White Guard, I's a Red Guard, I's the Tsar's own palace horse guard When Romanov was murdered in the night, ...On hire from Swiss or Sweden, be me Christian, be me Heathen, the devil to the saber I shall put, with a crack flanking manuver I'm an Uhlan alles uber, striking terror in to regiment of foot.

Hussars are awesome (they not only wore wings, but also exotic animal pelts, such as leopard and lion).  They pretty much set the standard for post-Renaissance cavalry in Europe.

Was trying to find that picture of impractical female armor where the arrows hit her in the chest to post under the Hussar pictures but couldn't find it.  Wonder what festival it is.

"Boobplate" is unnecessary.  Unless she is very well endowed, a woman can comfortably wear a normal/historical breastplate.  For example, here's a woman reenactor wearing her armor (she jousts, also):

And now some Kipling.


THE 'eathen in 'is blindness bows down to wood an' stone;
'E don't obey no orders unless they is ‘is own;
'E keeps 'is side-arms awful: 'e leaves 'em all about,
An' then comes up the Regiment an' pokes the 'eathen out.

   1


4
All along o' dirtiness, all along o' mess
All along o' doin' things rather-more-or-less
All along of abby-nay, kul an' hazar-ho,
Mind you keep your rifle an' yourself jus' so!

   


8
The young recruit is 'aughty - 'e draf's from Gawd knows where;
They bid 'im show 'is stockin's an' lay 'is mattress square;
‘E calls it bloomin' nonsense - 'e doesn't know no more -
An' then up comes 'is Company an kicks 'im round the floor !

   


12
The young recruit is 'ammered - 'e takes it very hard;
'E 'angs 'is 'ead an' mutters - 'e sulks about the yard;
'E talks o' "cruel tyrants" which 'e'll swing for by-an-by,
An 'the others 'ears an' mocks 'im, an' the boy goes orf to cry.

   


16
The young recruit is silly - 'e thinks o' suicide.
‘Es lost 'is gutter-devil; 'e 'asn't got 'is pride;
But day by day they kicks 'im, which 'elps 'im on a bit,
Till 'e finds 'isself one mornin' with a full an' proper kit.

   


20
Gettin' clear o’ dirtiness, gettin' done with mess,
Gettin' shut o' doin' things rather-more-or-less;
Not so fond of abby-nay, kul, nor hazar-ho
Learns to keep 'is rifle 'an 'isself jus' so !

   


24
The young recruit is 'appy - 'e throws a chest to suit;
You see 'im grow mustaches; you 'ear 'im slap 'is boot.
'E learns to drop the "bloodies" from every word ‘e slings
An' 'e shows an 'ealthy brisket when 'e strips for bars an' rings.

   


28
The cruel-tyrant-sergeants they watch 'im 'arf a year;
They watch 'im with 'is comrades, they watch 'im with 'is beer;
They watch 'im with the women at the regimental dance,
And the cruel-tyrant-sergeants send 'is name along for Lance.

   


32
An' now 'e's 'arf o' nothin', an' all a private yet,
‘Is room they up an' rags 'im to see what they will get.
They rags 'im low an' cunnin', each dirty trick they can,
But 'e learns to sweat 'is temper an' 'e learns to sweat 'is man.

   


36
An', last, a Colour-Sergeant, as such to be obeyed,
'E schools 'is men at cricket, 'e tells 'em on parade;
They sees 'im quick an' 'andy, uncommon set an' smart,
An' so 'e talks to orficers which 'ave the Core at 'eart.

   


40
'E learns to do 'is watchin' without it showin' plain;
'E learns to save a dummy, an' shove 'im straight again;
'E learns to check a ranker that's buyin' leave to shirk;
An' 'e learns to make men like 'im so they'll learn to like their work.

   


44
An' when it comes to marchin' he'll see their socks are right,
An' when it comes to action 'e shows 'em how to sight.
'E knows their ways of thinkin' and just what's in their mind.
'E knows when they are takin' on an' when they've fell be'ind.

   


48
'E knows each talkin' corp'ral that leads a squad astray;
'E feels 'is innards 'eavin', 'is bowels givin' way;
'E sees the blue-white faces all tryin' 'ard to grin,
An' 'e stands an' waits an' suffers till it's time to cap 'em in.

   


52
An' now the hugly bullets come peckin' through the dust,
An' no one wants to face 'em, but every beggar must;
So, like a man in irons, which isn't glad to go,
They moves 'em off by companies uncommon stiff an' slow.

   


56
Of all 'is five years' schoolin' they don't remember much
Excep' the not retreatin', the step an' keepin' touch.
It looks like teachin' wasted when they duck an' spread an' 'op -
But if 'e 'adn't learned 'em they'd be all about the shop.

   


60
An' now it's 'Oo goes backward? " an' now it's " 'Oo comes on?
An’ now it's Get the doolies," an' now the Captain's gone;
An' now it's bloody murder, but all the while they 'ear
'Is voice, the same as barrick-drill, a-shepherdin' the rear.

   


64
E's just as sick as they are, 'is 'eart is like to split,
But 'e works 'em, works 'em, works 'em till he feels 'em take the bit;
The rest is 'oldin' steady till the watchful bugles play,
An' 'e lifts 'em, lifts 'em, lifts 'em through the charge that wins the day!

   


68
The 'eathen in 'is blindness bows down to wood an' stone;
'E don't obey no orders unless they is 'is own.
The 'eathen in 'is blindness must end where 'e began,
But the backbone of the Army is the Non-commissioned Man !

   


72
Keep away from dirtiness - keep away from mess,
Don't get into doin' things rather-more-or-less
Let's ha' done with abby-nay, kul, and hazar-ho;
Mind you keep your rifle an' yourself jus' so !

I know that the wizard thing is a common joke on /tg/ and some other places. Don't know where it originated.

While I don't really mind not contributing some images I have to this thread, would you mind explaining a bit what you mean, May,  by
Please can you stop the Jesus memes?

May requesting to stop with the images is fair I think. Sorry about the confusion.

Can we get mods ruling? I see nothing wrong with it.. I think they are funny. Personally, I think it's like telling people to stop the cat pictures because they hate cats. It just seems like being overly sensitive about comedy... perhaps a compromise of putting them in spoilers? Also.. letting me know how to use spoilers? There isn't a button I can see for it.. unless it's something like spoiler=<text> in brackets and you put the image between the tags?
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: Method of Madness on 02 Oct 2013, 05:17
[spoiler ]text or image[/spoiler] without that space there, obviously. And it's not that there's anything inherently wrong with those pictures, but if anything makes someone else uncomfortable, why would that not be enough to a decent person? Spoiler tags seem a fair compromise as long as they're marked "Jesus", but I haven't brought that to the rest of the mods, so this is not an official decision.

Word of advice though, maybe don't call people overly sensitive because something they hold dear is mocked and they don't like it.

The reason I said what I said was because if I don't like something or find it offensive, I just don't look at it or move past it. Maybe other people have different thoughts, but I assumed that is what other people were like :/  I'll do the spoiler thing.

It's not hard; if you are member of a community, and another member asks you not to do something because it offends them, you stop it and move on.  I am not going to provide specific rules for avoiding every possible upset - just take note when you become aware or are made aware of issues.  As another instance, there is someone here who finds spiders to be a trigger; I would avoid posting an image of a spider here without a warning because of that - but I'm not going to make it a rule, because it's just part of getting along (and now you know about it too).

But the Jesus pictures, like most manufactured memes, are IMO just not really funny in any case.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I've had a busy day. I asked you to stop because the frequency and number of jokes about Jesus were making me uncomfortable. I realise that I'm in a minority as an active Christian but the members of the forum who are trans are also in a minority and it wouldn't be considered acceptable to make jokes about being trans, or racial jokes etc etc. Some jokes about religion are funny (the joke about the man who refused two boats and a helicopter rescue in a flood before drowning is one of my favourites) but the only humour in those images comes from the fact that they're mocking Christ.

It's not meant to be censorship, and I don't usually comment on the occasional image that makes me uncomfortable, but it was quite a lot in quick succession.

It took me a second, but that was actually the very first episode I ever saw of that show, so...

Goddamnit GM. <3

Also I would like to remind the viewers that, as impressive (and attractive, arousing, etc.) I and presumably you all find that half-and-half image...and it *is* impressive, what I'm about to say doesn't take that away... but they presumably had access to some distinct professionals. Lighting, photography, makeup, model, and image-manipulation (Photoshop etc.) all come together to answer your questions as to the how.

Now I'm inclined to say that they used quite a bit of Photoshop there at the end to intensify the difference between the halves, but you *can* do wonders if you slather enough layers of makeup on, and spend enough time with someone tweezering your face.

I never seem to be able to use depilatory cream on my face or neck very successfully. Either it doesn't really affect the hair, or I chemical burn myself.

Enough points, onward thread!

I tried depilatory cream once while I was in the military, shaving every day was a pain and fucking up my face so I looked for alternate options. My proud, rugged, and manly facial hair resisted the laughable attempts of the cosmetics to assail it.

Post by: Carl-E on 05 Oct 2013, 09:36
Yeah, to make it weak enough to not destroy the majority of skin types, it's not effective on very tough hair.  Unless you leave it on for a very long time.  Then it irritates the skin anyway...

I hate shaving, though, so I tried it when I was younger.  It was effective on some parts, not on others. 

I grew a beard instead.

The modern electric shavers do the trick, but I try to keep it stubble instead of baby face or dwarf beardling.  I just use a mustache trimmer.

That's too bad, because a small combustion engine is currently the only way you can power one of those things without tethering.

Also, whipper-snippers is a lovely, evocative name for a gas-powered weed trimmer.

@Kyomi:
Cassandra was a princess of troy.  The god Apollo gave her the ability to see the future. She predicted that bad things would happen because of Paris her brother, their parents sent him away to grow up.  Cassandra spurred Apollo's advances so he cursed her.  Making it so that no one would believe her.  She predicted Paris and Helen would cause the fall of Troy but no one believed her.

I did let my little sister "play", as in, give her the second controller and "act" as if I was player two (worked very well with Donkey Kong Country). Also worked with my best friend.

Some of those things I plan on doing because I want to (getting a job, going to said job, and getting married, watching TV). Some of those (follow fashion, acting normal, walking on the pavement) I'll do occasionally, but less often than not, really. The only things I feel compelled to do are obeying the law (well, usually) and saving for old age (which I really haven't started doing yet because I have no income, being a student and all).

I don't know if I'd consider myself entirely free, but I feel like something that takes the other extreme like that the mindset in that image are not as harmful as the system they protest against (a system that the image exaggerates to an unnecessary degree), but harmful nonetheless.

(http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/thoughtful-animal/files/2013/09/EagleDeer2-e1380052726807.jpg)

That's a terrible attack vector, normally eagles will strike from behind like that, but sink their talons into the region of spine we call the "Cervical vertebrae" on humans. This area of the skull is weak and squishy so the eagle gains two potential kill blows by striking in that region, either an immediate nervous system kill or his talons will continue to penetrate through to the brain. For more alpine animals such as mountain goats and big horn sheep (in North America) the eagles will instead strike at the center of gravity while the target is in a precarious position (both species regularly scale nearly sheer rock faces and cliffs) letting gravity do the work of actually killing the prey.

Eagles: Not an animal to fuck with.

OK, try this thread (http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=88288), which starts with the words on that poster, followed by the comment:

Plain and simple. Any attempts to put homosexuality out of the equation yields weird results, like a huge six mile wide asteroid impacted 65 million years ago. This is similar to how you get weird results (as insanely large numbers) in mathematics if you divide anything by zero (which is a sign that you did something wrong).

Looking at the sites that this image is on, it's not clear whether it is a parody or not.  I tend towards parody, because most genuine posters of that sort that I've seen make a point of advertising the church they're from.

What makes an èrhú (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erhu) an "ethnic" instrument? If a Western folk-rock band included a violin in their line-up, would you describe that as an "ethnic" instrument? If not, why not? This is essentially a less malign version of the attitude that leads racists in Australia to describe Australians like me as "ethnics".

I have it from a reliable source that the difference between a violin and a fiddle is the music you are playing with it (if it is music from the 'respected white tradition, it is a violin...)

"Ethnic" means "not a part of white culture".  Using the word to describe contributions from non-white-western cultures is a form of othering.  The only thing the word does is stress that this item is 'weird' or 'different' because it is not from white culture.

Most of the things which a Chinese person might very well label as "ethnically Scandinavian instruments" would more likely just be called "traditional" or "folk", so yeah. Very different approaches to the same kinds of situations depending on if it's "us" or "them".

We climbed so far up our own assholes as a species that we cannot tell the difference between satire and reality, sometimes. The dinosaur thing, well, it can go either way, which is a sure sign that something needs to change. Attitudes about science, for instance.

"Ethnic" sounds ... problematic. Maybe "old" or "not often seen, these days" or something would be more accurate.

Something stupid:

"Ethnic" means "not a part of white culture".
Just so. The slightly more up-market version is to refer to "World Music".

"Ethnic" sounds ... problematic. Maybe "old" or "not often seen, these days" or something would be more accurate.
Old? The erhu and the violin both evolved from the same Central Asian bowed stringed instruments, so it is hard to decide which is older, assuming either is. And not often seen these days? In Europe or the USA maybe, but instruments like pipa, dizi, erhu, guzheng, yangqin etc. are commonplace in Chinese classical music, opera, movie soundtracks, popular music, metal bands (see above) and even in the hands of street-musicians busking on metro stations.

All of the above-mentioned instruments:

Classical pipa? We've got that covered:

I apologize for the horrible wording in my last post, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I couldn't find the right word to describe what I was thinking and "ethnic" kept coming up. "Traditional" would of been a better word. I haven't seen it used outside of Asian  music and I thought "ethnic" meant something like instruments that came from <country>.

Basically I was trying to say that I really liked the way they used their traditional instruments in that song.  See Graveworm - Fear of the Dark for another example (bagpipe solo in a metal song ftw).


Also, that picture is awesome.. I'm watching it and imagining that guy making "wooshing" noises :)

I know you had no ill intent, and I apologise for "picking on you" a bit, but "ethnic" carries a lot of baggage in contexts like "ethnic music", "ethnic food" etc.

On the other hand, erhu is awesome, and welcome to the admirers' club! No instrument weeps like the erhu. Except when it doesn't:
BTW, for those who do not know, erhu (http://translate.google.com.au/?hl=en&tab=wT#auto/en/%E4%BA%8C%E8%83%A1) (二胡 èrhú) is pronounced, roughly, "are-who" not "err-who".

Apropos of not much, I have a copy of this book, bought when it was first published.  It has the distinction of the only book I have ever bought that came with uncut pages; the torn edges of the pages (opened with a paper knife) give it a feeling that no other book of mine has.  But my point in mentioning it is that the main bulk of it is overwhelmingly taken up with instruments that are not part of the western classical music tradition.

A typical page, opened at random, contains the entries (only summarised here):

Hornprinzipal (an organ stop)
Hornwerk (an organ whose pipes all sound simultaneously, as a signal calling to worship)
Horologium (a wheel with bells on, which tinkle when it is rotated)
Hörpauke, Hörpaigge (variant of Heerpauke: a kettledrum, or an organ stop imitating a drum)
Hosanna (a small carillon patented in France in 1898)
Ho sheng (see Ho: a small sheng of China, with 13 pipes)
Hourglass drum (a drum smaller in the middle than at the ends, found in Asia, E. Africa, Melanesia)
Hpa si (see Ka si: Burmese bronze kettle gong, with four pairs of ornamental frogs - also Kaun chet)
Hruozza (Cruit; glossed in 10th c. as Sambuca)
Hsiang ch'ih (percussion stick of china made of redwood; in N. China, used at funerals)
Hsiang pan (percussion plaque of China, made of thick brass)
Hsiao (end-blown flute of China; full name Feng huang hsiao, modern version is Tung hsiao)
Hsiao ku (small frame drum of China, played with a knobbed withy)
Hsiao tse (= Ko ling)
Hsien tse (= San hsien)
Hsing erb (Chinese cymbals; in N. China, almost hemispherical in shape)
Hsing lung sheng (Chinese term for organ, introduced from the West by Kublai Khan)
Hsiian (ovoid globular flute of China, known since the Shang period, of bone, clay or porcelain)


It's the kind of book you can get lost in for hours following cross-references.

The word "ethnic" does not appear (of course!).  The preface says: "...this dictionary in incomplete.  [...] listed well over five thousand books and papers on non-European and folk instruments alone;".

That young lady is very talented indeed! I have always enjoyed the Ehru, especially it's more "somber" pieces. I have never in fact heard a fast piece for it before. Very impressive.

I would challenge your statement that no inturment can weep like the ehru can, the violin cries with a lot of emotion.

The piano too can have a powerful voice.

I actually really enjoy instruments that people don't expect being sad's mourning cries.

I was looking for sad pipe music and got lost. I found this cross over set featuring traditional Chinese instruments and the pipes of all things.

Good stuff that is.

Now some pipes.


And to bring you all down from what some of you heathens likely think of as torture of a cat, here's my favorite relaxation instrument. The Shakuhachi is a flute of Japanese origin.

This has alt text, which is supposed to be an alternative for the use of the visually impaired, describing the image instead of displaying it:

(http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/adam_and_eve.png)

[img alt=Abel and Steve would've been fine! I like Steve!]

However, what you are looking for is an image title attribute.  SMF doesn't support this; but some browsers may display the alt attribute on a hover if no title is present (my Opera does not).

This is how it looks in html (you can't do this - sorry actually, you can):

Admins can do anything (there is no set of permissions for admins), though html can be turned off even for admins.  Otherwise, BBCode is either allowed or not, with no distinctions between different levels of member.

However, it seems I was feeling generous when I went through the settings after becoming admin, because it turns out that the html tag is allowed.  You can't use html on its own - you have to put the [html]...[/html] tags round it.  Only a few html tags are allowed, though, as otherwise the potential for users' own html to break the page created by the forum is too great:

Code: [Select]
<b>, <u>, <i>, <s>, <em>, <ins>, <del>
<a href="">
<img src="" alt="" title="" />
<br />,<hr />
<pre>,<blockquote>

(Note that just listing those without the code tags around them broke the layout comprehensively!)

There's virtually nothing there that can't be done in straight BBCode - the additional attributes of img is the biggest reason to use this, I think.  The tag attributes in that list are not the only ones allowed, though.



Ooh!  I've just realised that you can do this with straight BBCode anyway, using the [abbr] or [acronym] tag (they're the same) :)

(http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/adam_and_eve.png)

I wasted a decent portion of my teenage years playing the Game Boy Color version of Tetris... there were some tricks on that version that made the game slightly easier so I could play indefinitely, with even the fastest speed it went to being rather easy (it stopped speeding up at level 30. I think the farthest I got before getting too bored or tired to continue was level 80).

I'd ask for the traditional battle ready wide dimensions as opposed to the thinned down ceremonial blade style.

Though honestly if I'm going to have a sword commissioned for me... I'll be spending more money then I even want to think about and making a trip to the remaining Japanese sword making clans to have a Katana fitted to my hand and body, then spend a couple years with a Kenjutsu master to make sure I'm not an insult to the blade's spirit.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

Not familiar with the term "weeaboo" but from casual research it appears to be an insult. That would be unwelcome.

Western person that fetishizes Japanese culture and history, without really understanding it. The joke is of course that traditional katanas, while masterworks, were still no better than the contemporary or earlier mass produced western arms, as Japanese forgers only had pig iron to work with - not quality steel. The mythic fixation on katanas in western culture is a reflection of the higher status of the sword in Japanese culture compared to contemporary European culture, rather than a reflection of quality.

A good, western arming sword (one handled sword, D&D "longsword" (D&D is wrong about what a longsword is)) has a quality of brutal honesty to it that many of the backswords (the sabres and katanas and what have you) of the world lack. There's no attempt at art in an arming sword, it's just a weapon. I've got one of these, and I'd take it over any katana:

(http://www.armourclass.co.uk/Data/Gfx/Big-Med-Bat-Long.jpg)


According to wikipedia, the katanas are also short - 60–73 cm or 25-29 inches blade length for a two-handled sword. Compared to the ~75 cm of a one handled arming sword. I suspect it's simply due to said lower quality steel causing higher weight - so you'd need to keep the blades shorter to maintain a weight that's still effective in combat. The curved blade of the katana (and the saber and any other curved sword) is also probably due to their wielders fighting less armored opponents than the 11th century wielders of the sword above. Curved blades gives a bigger cutting edge (and thus deeper cuts) than the above sword, but have a much weaker stab, and are less effective at piercing mail or other armor.

The saber is a very popular weapon world wide... and that Dao and the Marine Corps saber are in fact probably related on some level. The curved swords of the Middle East and later the Dao family were influenced by contact between those two regions (notably under the rule of the Mongol empire, but also just normal trade) and the European saber rose from the Middle Eastern scimitar, in particular the Mameluke sword. A variant of which our officers still carry. (The original being earned during the Tripoli campaign by Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon after the fall of Tripoli to a detachment of Marines and allied local forces, during the Battle of Durna, in 1805, this was the first fortress of the old world to be put under American colors in victory.)

As to Jace, I'm not sure what the hell he's talking about honestly. I assume a cat walked onto his keyboard or something.

For some interesting comparative work... GET ON MY QUARTERDECK and form up for mail call!



Now I have some issues with that particular comparison and think it could actively be better done, but the bottom line is there is no such thing as an ubersword. In the hands of a bumbling idiot a Katana or Broadsword is no more effective then or dangerous then anything else. (I mean it's still a big chunk of sharp steel, but unless you know what you're doing any sword is surprisingly hard to use). One "myth" that I think Jace was attempting to bring up was that Marines in the Pacific actively shot sword armed Japanese officers and NCOs as a priority. That's true. Do you want to get into close combat with a nutcase swinging a sword? I sure as shit don't.

As for my personal tastes in swords, seeing as I don't have the need to waste my time fantasizing about carrying a sword into battle I stick with my preferred backswords of their varying breeds world wide, which I simply prefer because I like them better. It's not a matter of East or West being better, I just enjoy the visual appeal and slashing focus on the weapons more. (Doesn't hurt that I trained with the Marine saber a little). In particular I enjoy the craftsmanship inherent in the Katana, and I enjoy owning tools and weapons of pedigree (My M1 Garand rifle was specifically selected because it came out of Springfield Armory for example). As an amateur historian owning historical artifacts, and items from families that have been doing certain trades for centuries (if not longer in many cases) has a distinct appeal. I also believing in knowing how to use what I own. When I picked up a rapier I studied Capo Ferro (the Italian school of Rapier fencing), when I picked up a cutlass I studied the traditional Marine Corps manual on Cutlass fencing it is a very short manual, and quite simple, which befits the cutlass itself.) So it stands to reason when I get my Bastard I'll study with an ARMA chapter, and a Katana a Kenjutsu or Iaido master. Learning the styles associated with the weapons, and the history of the weapons themselves is half the fun!

It's a lot easier with collecting guns though. I already know how to shoot so it's not like I need to relearn it every time I pick up something new at the local gun store.

Side thought. If you forced me to carry a sword into the field today, I know exactly what I'd select based on modern combat requirements, and my own field and training experience. A machete. It's light, durable, more then compact enough to delivery powerful blows on unarmored or soft armored targets in close quarters, and outside of active fighting it's a field utility tool, which gives it double value for it's actual weight.

(http://www.ww2supply.com/fotos/4671-03.JPG)

Force me (and you would have to force me) to add a "traditional" sword to my kit (and watch me to ensure I don't ditch the thing in my vehicle or foot locker the second whoever's making me haul it around and I'd select a cutlass for similar reasons as above. I'm not worried about armor. I am worried about powerful, simple strikes at close quarters, and the cutlass was made for such work. Like me ol'Irish gran said "A rapier may be witty, but a cutlass makes'em gutless"

Oddly enough the USMC swords are based off Mameluke swords because of their actions in Tripoli in the early 1800s and has become tradition in the USMC. As to where the Mameluke's got it...

Point of contention, this is both correct and wrong. The USMC officer's sword is a Mameluke style scimitar/saber. The USMC NCO Saber (M1859 and it's two variants forward) is based on the M1850 Foot Officer's Saber. (U.S. Army) HOWEVER like I said about, the Mameluke sword and similar styles of backsword were highly influential on the development of the European saber, which the M1850 was a classic example of, if slightly shortened for infantry work as it was designed for infantry as opposed to cavarlymen. So while it is not a direct influence like the Marine Officer's scimitar above, the general influence over time means the NCO Saber also owes much to the Mameluke scimitar.

M1850:

Mulan is one of the few "Disney princess" who was not looking for a man as part of the main plot (cinderella, sleeping beauty, even Jasmine was) and I think its one of the reasons (among others) why I liked that movie.  It was moving away from that standard "need a man to rescue me from blah blah blah".  Favorite Disney princess will always be Princes Leia.  Defeating the empire was her goal.  Hell her first few on screen moments before you find out her name is smuggling plans and shooting a soldier.  Then openly defiant to the emperors right hand man/executioner! Getting the Han-some rogue was just a bonus.  Though I think I'll always identify with Luke from that series (which the writers intended I believe).

Besides Mulan she's (Leia) also the only Disney Princess any daughter of mine will be encouraged to look to as a role model. Great you found a pair of glittery heels, save China or lead an insurrection against an over powering evil empire then I'll be impressed.

Of course, every time I don't follow up a viewing of Mulan with the historical legend of the same, I will feel a slight pressure in the back of my head, as if Akima is chiding me from a very long way away :P

Don't forget about Tiana! (princess and the frog)
She's the only disney princess with a career path in mind throughout the story, and she puts a huge emphasis on achieving her goals through commitment and hard work. Even when she falls in love she still gets her restaurant.

I enjoyed it - the plot is slightly less demeaning than some of the older ones and although there were stereotypes in evidence, I don't think (although I could be wrong) that it was particularly racist when it very easily could have been.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: LeeC on 23 Oct 2013, 11:41
Wait, Princess and the frog was racist?  A workaholic woman who has a dream of owning her own restaurant and a foreign lazy prince gold digger?   All with a new orleans vibe complete with a shadow man voodoo villain?

Thought it was a nice touch that Tatiana's father was a soldier from WW1.  Tells you around what time the story takes place (1930s).

Lee, I can't work out whether you're being sarcastic or not. I'm pretty sure that the USA racial stereotypes are different from the UK ones - if only because our ethnic diversity is different - so maybe I just don't recognise problematic references. I freely admit to being blinded by my own privilege at times.

Sorry, was serious with just a tough of sarcasm about the characters.  granted I have only seen the movie once and wasn't really looking for it.  It was general curiosity on how it was racist. I am sure if I watched it again a few times I could probably find a thing or two. I keep getting weird things on news feeds about "the one thing no one noticed about tangled" but again I have only seen that disney movie once and I am not sure what I missed or what the hell they are talking about.  Tangled was awesome IMHO.

But I also really liked Princess and the Frog. I didn't detect any condoned racism in the movie, but then I might have missed something really subtle.

There is a point where two white bank owners refuse to give Tiana a loan because of "her background" but that was clearly condemned in the movie. Also the movie was careful as to the skin tones, i.e. the villain didn't have the darkest skin color, the heroine wasn't the lightest character, etc....

True but I think that was the point. I saw it as more of the reflection of the time and place they were living in (1930s New Orleans).  If anything, Disney acknowledged that it existed.

also tangled was incredibly adorable with a lot of squee moments.  Also the musical number with the mother in the beginning is pretty dark and shows how she controls her.

Capris are sort of shaped differently to normal length trousers though, aren't they? In the picture it makes it look like the knees are in a strange place. Plus you might not be short enough that they look like full lengths on you and just look a little too small.

As one who is 6'5", I've never had a problem with clothes that are too long, just clothes that are not long enough.

And pants.  Don't get me started on pants.  I have a 35 inch waist and a 36 inch inseam.  I'll go 36x36 and just wear a belt, but dammit are they near impossible to find.  There's plenty of 36x34s, 36x32s, 40x36s, 38x36s, but finding a 36x36 is like hunting for a goddamn unicorn and dammit I got started on pants.

Oddly enough, I have a pair of cargo shorts that I've had for over 10 years, and they still fit just fine.  Back when I got them I had a 32 inch waist...but even now they'll slide right off if I'm not wearing a belt.  Either they've stretched over the years or I never realized how gargantuan they were when I got them.

Speaking of shorts, all shorts are short shorts when you're tall -_-

Figure I make the old cadians into Merican Fusiliers, new cadians the Donian Imperial Guard, karskins vets as cadians.  Kind of want to have a 3rd infantry company but not sure what to model them after from Macharius's 1st army group (http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Macharian_Crusade).  The hard part will be finding a regimental standard for the old cadians to use for that company.  not to mention coming up with 9 unique commissars all with pistols and power weapons.  Would be cool to get some cadet caps like in the pictures I posted to put on some models.  the closet thing I can find are some of my old last chancer models.

ah, armored fist platoons eh?  Taking a page out of the steel legion?


My lists look like this:
1-2 Mech Vet platoons (with attendant special weapons, mostly MELTA!)
Mix of normal Guardsmen with attached heavy weapons (you there! What are you doing to destroy the Xenos? Nothing! *blam* now you two take this las cannon and go with them)
Then a few Leman Russ, some Sentinals (lots of Autocannons), occasionally a Basilisk.
What I want to finish the unit out is 1-2 Hellhounds, 1 Manticore and a Valkyrie Vendetta.

I have no idea when I'm going to get to that though.

Probably never >.>;

I'd ideally like to have 3 companies  with 3 infantry squads and one heavy weapon squad for each.  One company will have a special weapon squad with snipers in it.  A squad of vets with bastonee flying in with a valkarie, 3 leman russ tanks and a command squad.  Some armored sentinels would be sweet too, and maybe 3 more valks to bring in a whole company.

I love commissars so each squad would get their own.

My internet is being dumb and won't load Google so I can double check but I believe that would be shonen-ai ("boy love"), like shojo-ai (for "girl-love"), which is basically equivalent up to PG-13 cutesy romance such. Yaoi and Yuri is outright erotica/porn. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it's mass wrong interpretation of the term. Like people saying they "gauge" their ears when they mean stretching or are referring to plugs.

Edit: I'm a recovering weeaboo.

when I googled it, it had said it was boy love, and mentioned both cutesy romance and the erotica.

Tovarish, for your future information in the defense of the State and our glorious revolutions. Please take note of the following information as it was vital to the crushing of the hitlerites during the Great Patriotic War, and resulted in the destruction of many thousands of their hated "Tiger" "Panther" and "King Tiger" tanks. The IS-2 was developed after the Battle of Kursk when the current KV series of tanks primary weapon systems proved to be no match for newly fielded Panzer Mk V and Mk VI's heavy armor. The Boss in his wisdom ordered immediate research into a new heavy tank to replace the KV line. Object 287 was based off the stop gap KV-85 design, and accepted into Red Army service as the IS-I in the fall of 1943. It was only in Soviet service long enough for the Iosef Stalin 2 to finish it's design phase and testing. With sloped heavy armor, and a 122mm main weapon capable of piercing 160mm of armor. It's high explosive shells also made for an excellent break through weapon as the IS-2 showed at the fall of Berlin. It is with the IS-2 that we see the starts of the "Inverted Wok" design. but with a much stronger forward bow section of the turret for the mount of the main cannon. The lines for that can be seen in the drawn image, but would be hard for the unfamiliar to catch. It is the opinion of this expert that the artist in question is a dog of the west who did not pay much attention to the stowage common to the vehicles of the Red Army of the time period. The spare fuel tank mounting is common for T-55s and T-54s in service in the Middle East with Soviet allies such as Syria and the United Arab Republic while the tank is clearly not one of these vehicles. At worst (on my part) it is an IS-3, the successor to the IS-2 that had a much more rounded turret (and truly ingrained that style into Soviet tank design).

Hell Zira might actually top Scar for pure EVIL. Even as far as her villain song goes. I mean sure Scar turned a bunch of mangy poachers into the Savannah's Third Reich, but power hungry and evil aren't necessarily the same thing as evil... and Zira's just... bloody.

And now, Sir Elton John. It's perfectly okay to sing along.


For recent Disney, it's still hard to top Tangled.

Kinda BS ladies can't become anti-tank helo pilots for real. I also find it interesting they specify a precise battlefield role like that. The mix of OH-1s, Cobras (yay!) and Apaches (Booo!) in one squadron also has to be a complete logistical nightmare. Hueys and Cobras are bad enough and those things have at least some commonality of parts.

This probably has too much point to be in here, but one of my lecturers told us we should try not to announce the baby's gender when it's born because frankly very few parents care about that as much as they care whether it's got all its limbs and is breathing.

I ALSO WALKED UPHILL BOTH WAYS IN THE SNOW WITHOUT SHOES

When I were a lad we spent 42 years in the arctic circle living up a tree, naked, in a howling gale. We crawled on our bellies for five miles through snow drifts to the pit where we'd mine ice with our teeth. Afterwards we'd scrub ourselves down with liquid nitrogen before an ice cream dinner. Of course we enjoyed it because if we didn't our Dad would beat us to death three times a night with icicles.

I don't know how the Navy works. Can you be temporary captain of a commissioned but inactive ship? They're probably too Serious and Businesslike to put him in command of CVN-65 for a day.

Post by: GarandMarine on 30 Oct 2013, 20:12
Hahah that would be cool, but unfortunately Captain Kirk does not qualify for the command of a United States Navy carrier. He's a black shoe (surface warfare) and to command a carrier you need to be a naval flight officer. Captain Kirk seems to be on his way up though (being the plank holder on a new ship class is a BIG FUCKING DEAL, especially for the Zumwalt class destroyers) so by the time the new Enterprise (CVN-80) joins the fleet, Captain Kirk has a good shot of being Rear Admiral (lower half) Kirk and could conceivably take command of the Enterprise group. Thus taking the Enterprise as his flag ship, and getting to command her that way. In the Star Trek primary timeline, there have been nine space craft named Enterprise, starting with the American space shuttle Enterprise and the V.S.S Enterprise, Virgin Galactic's first commercial space craft.

Interestingly, as of CVN-80, there have also been nine commissioned ships of the United States Navy that have carried the name U.S.S Enterprise.

Unless my eyes are really screwed up, while the MOVEMENT is terrifying the cobra doesn't actually strike once. It is totally wrapping that kid up for a snack though. For you non-animal types who didn't watch Steve Irwin growing up, cobras are stupid lethal snakes. They are easy to identify by their hoods. (that flared portion just below the head) when the hood is deployed it means the snake is knowing even more hatred then normal, and if it's looking at you while the hood is deployed, it means YOU are the target of that hate.

Here's a video of a kid who's best friends with a massive Burmese Python.
the kid and the snake have literally been together since the Chambath was in his cradle.

Oh! Hey look! Explanation for that gif found!
Quote
Children in snake catchers families in Srikakulam district of Andhrapradesh play with dangerous snakes. These people are very poor to purchase toys, so that they give snakes as toys to their children to play.

The video also clarifies that the snakes are defanged.

Wouldn't that fuck with your head if you were the cobra? You're one of the baddest motherfuckers on the planet, but some dude catches you, defangs you and now you're a children's toy.

Darwin at work.. I really think we should just take the warning labels off of things and let the population thin itself.. along with invalidating any lawsuits that arise from the result of stupidity.

Yes, I'm sure there was a warning label on it that said "Warning: If kicked may spin around and hit you in the face!". That's totally the aspect which would be safeguarded by doing such things, not, say, murdering people with allergies for the grand cause of Social Darwinism.

It definitely wouldn't confuse lack of knowledge with stupidity, either!* That's even provided you're fine with saying "Stupid people should die".

I consider all of the above to be far more 'stupid', though, so good luck with that.

* I've genuinely heard posters here completely flabbergasted that a bag of "Monkey nuts" had a note saying it contained peanuts, as a warning to people with allergies. Even though it's a local name for them that I had no clue referred to peanuts. If I bought those thinking they were a different kind and had that allergy then that's a really bad situation. They just had the good sense to realize certain words aren't universal. But that's apparently ridiculous.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: LeeC on 31 Oct 2013, 07:17
I'm with Valdis on this one.

Also I never heard of monkey nuts referring to peanuts.  Peanuts and Gober peas are the only names for peanuts I have heard.  The "Gober peas" one I learned through a song in music class back in the 2nd or 3rd grade.  I have yet to actually hear anyone else refer to it as such.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: kyomi on 31 Oct 2013, 07:28
I can see why people were "flabbergasted" because if I knew I had a nut allergy (whatever type that would be) and I see "Monkey Nuts", I would connect the dots and stay away from it; that's just my opinion. 

I didn't intend for it be taken as broad as that. There are some good warning labels like the ones you mentioned, but when talking about Darwin it's usually associated with the "Don't stick your finger in this, it'll hurt" type labels :)  I have been "poisoned" by the movie Idiocracy and whenever I see stupid crap like what that person is doing.. it makes me fear that we are just heading there that much quicker.

Not "seeing it the same way" doesn't change that people with peanut allergies don't necessarily have nut allergies, though. :roll:

Edit: PeaNUT... *sigh*

They're nutritionally similar and thus usually work that way as far as human food is concerned, but the naming convention is just out of convenience. They're legumes, like peas or beans.

The botanical definition of nut and the common culinary definition of nut are different, and each is valid in its own sphere of usage:

True (botanical) nuts:

Beech (Fagus)
Chestnut (Castanea)
Oak (Quercus)
Stone-oak (Lithocarpus)
Tanoak (Notholithocarpus)
Family Betulaceae
Hazel, Filbert (Corylus)
Hornbeam (Carpinus)

Seeds which are not botanical nuts, but are commonly called so:

Almonds (edible seeds of drupe fruits)
Brazil nut  (seed from a capsule)
Candlenut
Cashew (seed of an accessory fruit)
Chilean hazelnut or Gevuina
Macadamia (kernel of a follicle type fruit)
Malabar chestnut
Pecan (seed of a drupe fruit)
Mongongo
Peanut (seed from a species of legume)
Pine nut (seed of several species of pine)
Pistachio (seed of a thin-shelled drupe)
Walnut (Juglans)

As you see, rather few nuts are even edible!  But in my experience, people with an allergy to one seed (peanut, especially) are appropriately cautious about approaching any other seed, whether called a nut or not.

Um, no, a working men's club is a sort of pub for men who work. Except as of a few months ago, women are allowed to become members, and I'm not sure you're required to prove that you have a job (but you do have to be nominated by an existing member). Do those not exist elsewhere?

Am considering running to the supermarket to buy treats for trick or treaters. I can hear them in the street but no one has rung my doorbell yet. But I am about to go out for two hours - probably no point. Booo, I wanna see cute little kids in costumes.

This is the one time in the year when I really am a grumpy old git - I do not like middle-class kids (or any other - but that's what I get to be inflicted with) being taught to go round to the houses of strangers to demand gifts with menaces - what I believe is known as begging.

And now, to improve the mood, have some MLPxEvangelion images:

In the Star Trek primary timeline, there have been nine space craft named Enterprise
And the Soviet space program never existed, at least according to ST:Enterprise's notorious opening credits... Actually, if you look carefully, you can see a Soyuz (or possibly Progress) docked with the ISS, but that hardly excuses omitting the first artificial orbital satellite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_1), and the first man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin), and the first woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentina_Tereshkova) in space...

The botanical definition of nut and the common culinary definition of nut are different, and each is valid in its own sphere of usage
Much as shellfish, lobsters etc. are classified by cooks as fish, when cows, pigs, sheep and human beings are more closely related to fish than they are.

I can skip the MRAP though. Those things are terrible.
I think it's got that W40K look; ugly, massive, clunky, top-heavy... Just paint it some impractical colour like red, put some skulls on it, and you're done!

It features the X-33 too and that doesn't even exist as more then a concept sketch. There's an argument to be made or had here, but to be be honest, I just don't care. At all.

Now THIS I will make an argument about. The primary 40k APCs are low slung tracked designs, based on the M113 APC (the Rhino) and the BMP family (Imperial Guard Chimera)

(http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1252439_99120101017_SMRhinomain_873x627.jpg)

You could probably even get the the v pattern anti IED hull on there without too much problem. Also unlike the MRAP the M113 (and by extension the Rhino) actually functions without constant massive maintenance and overhaul. MRAPs are a symbol of the DoD being utterly broken to me. A specific use tool that cost a fortune and the bulk of troops hated that we aren't even bothering to fly back.

The mainstay APCs for the Imperium are indeed somewhat sensible (Leman Russ notwithstanding), but 40K does have a great deal of vehicles that are just obtuse; rocket-spewing pipe organs, flying space churches, walkers of ANY form, and the Eldar who are absolutely incapable of designing any technology and not having it look like a marital aid.

As a Sisters of Battle player I stand by our rocket spewing pipe organ. It combines form (i.e. an awesome, fully functional shrine and musical insturment) with function (a vehicle mounted VLS missile system that can absolutely ROFLstomp... pretty much everything).

Ground floor.  Actually in some houses where the main living area is up a few steps, but the area below is not considered a basement, you have (say) four stories called "lower ground floor", "upper ground floor", "first floor", "second floor".  In the same way, the building I work in has four stories, labelled -1, 0, 1, 2; the main entrance is on 0, but there are other entrances on -1.

The hospital next to my home was extended recently - down the hill; as a result, the extension has six stories labelled -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, with the main entrance on -4.

(http://i.imgur.com/CmwHimS.jpg)

Judging by the uniforms I would say Marine Corp. A good way to tell them apart is that the army combat uniform appears greenish grey while the Marine uniforms have a more brown tinge. Also the Marine cover(hat) is a hexagon while the army cover is round.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: LeeC on 04 Nov 2013, 21:33
I know about their cover but the two in the background are too far away and facing a different direction haha.  Honestly upon a second glance it is marine, if you notice the marine to the far right's shirt displays what looks like an eagle globe and anchor. Nice catch on the color.  I figure it was just desert camo.  :-P
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: Nikolai on 04 Nov 2013, 21:57
Navy/USMC is the only branch that has a desert camo pattern. Army and Air Force deploy to Afghanistan in Multicam, which is a green/brown non-digital pattern. In garrison, us Army grunts are stuck with god-awful UCP, a grey/blue digital pattern. It's just been confirmed that we'll be switching to Multicam by the end of 2016, though.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: LeeC on 04 Nov 2013, 22:01
My building houses the Army corps of engineers HQ (I think its the HQ) so I see lots of camo but so many other services come and go that its hard to keep track as I am running to and fro.

@LeeC I consider it a point of pride to be able to identify a military by it's equipment in detail. I'm far from being an expert but typically I can take a pretty good guess. Knowing obscure unit insignia and history are useful.

UCP/ACU is proof that the army should not be allowed to make decisions for itself.

Post by: Nikolai on 05 Nov 2013, 04:50
I'm pretty fond of our ACUs, especially now that they've replaced the cargo pockets' velcro fasteners with actual buttons. That said, I hate UCP with a passion and look forward to the permanent changeover to OCP.

That's not why it didn't work out (so many other issues), but I mastered the art of leaning back against a wall at an angle to kiss her. My current girlfriend is still nearly 20cm shorter than me, and she's probably one of the taller girls I've dated. I'm not sure why, I don't have a preference for short girls and I'm not that tall!

Also I just realized this was the pointless thread but oh well it's still in response to something here, ha.

Though I may not have a problem with tall women I sometimes do worry they feel awkward about dating a short guy.

Step 3: ? ? ?

Step 4: PROFIT!

Also I don't intend on ever dating anyone else so it's moot, but I can't see myself with a woman taller than me. I think the tallest woman I would date would be about 5'9" (~175cm). I think Sarah's around 5'5" (~165cm) but she might be a bit shorter.

As I think I've mentioned elsewhere my mother actively encourages me to date tall woman, preferably non-white. Hah. Trick's on her. I am most strongly attracted to Colleens*. Her reasoning behind the "tall" thing is, at 5'9" I am the second tallest bloodline male in the main line of the family. (My second cousin is tallest, at 6ft, and his mother's 6'5", we know exactly where his height comes from) so she is actively encouraging me to breed height back into the clan.


Colleen (adj) - A woman of Irish descent, with the stereotypical features of that race, primarily pale skin and light eyes, more modernly it usually means redheads, but this traditionally is not a requirement.

YES. THIS. YES.

I'm a short fella as well (166 cm)... It took me quite a while to get used to the idea of being short forever and I think I got it past me. But worrying that it's awkward for the girl is something I still can't shake off.
Then again, the girls I dated were a bit shorter than me although the last one I dated was shorter only by a few cms so it was kind of funny when she put heels on. She didn't care though.

The only people I've dated who have been shorter than me were female, because I'm quite short - two of my male exes were at least a foot taller than me. I find it odd if women say "I could never date someone shorter than me" because really, that's your deal-breaker?

Post by: LeeC on 07 Nov 2013, 11:59
it was "the way things where" and no logic is really behind it.  Just Victorian era scandalization by the upper class maybe?  Women are "suppose" to be petite and the men are suppose to be big and brawny blah blah blah.  Those stigmas of yester-year still linger a bit in western culture but are generally not important.  Today we focus on the "what/who makes you happy" than someones social standing or what other people think of your relationship from a superficial standpoint.  Or so I have observed in real life.  Internet people act differently of course from reality.

I do find in general that women prefer men who are taller than them.  Its like explaining why someone is attracted to X.  You can't explain it, it just is.  That doesn't mean women only date taller men in general, its just the preferences I've seen/discussed with women.  Most men I have talked to prefer a shorter woman.  Not because of any sexist reason, they just prefer it.  Honestly I have only dated 1 or two women who are shorter than me but because I am short I end up dating women taller than me. I remember one girl asking me if I feel weird dating someone taller than me.  I looked up at her and replied "most people are taller than me, what do you mean exactly by feeling weird?"

I met her briefly, she's friends with another model/Marine I know up in Chicago, seems nice enough, clearly knows what she's about. I do get the criticism she gets though, namely that she uses the Marine Corps and her position as a Marine to help fuel her modeling career. I don't think that's why she signed up, but I understand where the perception and criticism come from.

fun fact: the reason that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese is because goose derives from an ancient germanic word undergoing strong declension, in the pattern of foot/feet and tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated to ee. however ‘moose’ is a native american word added to the english lexicon only ~400 years ago, and lacks the etymological reason to be pluralized in that way.

I do get the criticism she gets though, namely that she uses the Marine Corps and her position as a Marine to help fuel her modeling career.
Why is that grounds for criticism as long as she does her duty? Suppose she was a guy, who got a job as, say, a mechanic with a "leg up" from being a Marine. Would that be criticised similarly? I think not, and smell misogynism, or at the least sexism.

Oh, and since someone asked, I'm 160cm tall. Just.

I did not. That looks bloody terrible. So terrible I can't even make a joke. I'm not even mad. Just disappointed.

It blows my mind how "national costume" can be so widely interpreted. Love the ladies who actually showed up in relatively unmodified traditional clothing. Shit managed to still be pretty sexy.

@Akima, there is a small group of relatively minor models in the United States who have selected military service, usually in the reserves or national guard of a nation's military. The theory is because it lets them work that angle when competing for contracts. This criticism originates in the military's active duty female components. While the males are a little too distracted for such high minded thoughts.

However if our theoretical mechanic joined ONLY to get job training and he was in my squadron? He'd probably not be very popular. I can't speak for the other service branches who tend to work the job training angle fairly hard, but the Marine Corps perception is that type of crap is a benefit. You can take benefit of it, but showing up for "just" the benefits gets the stink eye from a large portion of our population. For example service personnel who enlisted or went through ROTC "just for the college benefits" which would also be comparable, are ostracized from the normal community if they vocally express that, especially in the transition from peace time to time of war. Many people take it rather personally as a form of betrayal against the bonds of our oaths and our es spirit de corps.

Now I happen to know Shannon, and know she joined to serve, she's on the bounce and good Marine to boot, but if she or someone like her, male or female said to me "I only joined to use the name and title to my own benefit" ...my response would be the same "Fuck you, go stand on someone else's back"

Not as heart-pounding, but still rad, Kelly McGarry doing a backflip over a canyon. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x76VEPXYaI0) Best watched at 1080p, full screen.

Given the choice I'd much rather base jump or wing suit then do what Mr. McGarry just did. Either will get you massive amounts of adrenaline but if I fuck up the jump I'll probably just be dead instead of a pile of smashed bones and pain.

Just.. Ew... Potato chips + chocolate is pretty disgusting in my opinion. I've had them before in ice cream (Ben & Jerry's Late Night Snack) and I had to pick them out to finish the ice cream.

lol. I remember that commercial. Besides, that death ray is nothing more than a common teleporter ray [/futurama]

On second thought.. is that a cardigan and a skirt?

I particularly like the contrast between the photo and Paul's signature.

Which, by the way (as I don't give the reference) is the catch phrase of one of the characters - and spoken by another as the final words - in the anime series Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.

 Because those are their names in the game/manga/canon/etc, and the anime is an adaptation of the games Red and Blue.

As a person who was irked that the anime didn't follow my gameboy game, I should really watch this genesis!  I always renamed red as me and blue my brother (I had red brother had blue, in his blue game he did the same) we battled and traded in a way so we had all 3 starters.  :-D

The name in the games depends on whether you're playing Red or Blue, and Red/Blue are just one of the three options it gives (not even counting the infinite possibilities of making your own). What makes "Red" the canon name for the game?

The Manga and Nintendo say so?

Post by: Method of Madness on 15 Nov 2013, 16:04
The manga saying so means they're canon in the manga. Nintendo saying so means nothing at all. But I guess calling him Red isn't wrong so it's all good, it just sounds weird to me.

Like I said, he's called whatever you want in the games, and it gives you three options if you don't make one up. Ash is one of those choices, if I recall, as is Red.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: Cire27 on 15 Nov 2013, 17:55
And that's only true in the games where you play as him.  In Generations II and III, and in Black and White 2 he's called Red.

First time I watched Thor was with Sasha and she kept telling me "Don't think too hard about it. Just enjoy it as an action movie"

I wasn't the least angry or butthurt and actually thought it was quite fun, but my mind kept going "This is wrong! This is all wrong!" and it carried over to the Avengers movie. Every time Thor and Loki opened their mouths my brain went "Ynhljbasfsgdb!!!*blue screen*"

I had a similar reaction to Humon honestly. Why the hell is Thor a blonde? He's depicted with red hair. That's where the expression "Let red haired thunder see to that" (no it's no common any where in the U.S. bite me) comes from.

I wonder how much force she can actually deliver with that axe kick. I personally avoid those because I can deliver signifcantly more force with literally any other kick besides a snap kick, and I feel the axe kick leaves you significantly more vulnerable and exposed. (Off balance, etc)

I like it as an image; but you know how before TV programs they have those warnings about flashing images and such-like?  BK's present avi is on the borderline for that, and the proposed one (which he sensibly spoilered) is a step too far because of the greater contrast in the flashing - sorry!

Maybe I'll be able to track down a recording.

I seriously did not get any of those references from that gif... I think people are too serious. All I saw was a joke and it was like "hunting". Put out the bait, catch them and then walk off.. nothing in there hinted at anything other then it being a joke. Possibly I just have a warped sense of humor or something?

Although while looking at it, I was thinking of some comedian and another gif I saw, where the comedian was saying something about nutella and white people and the gif was some girl with a cart full of nutella with the caption "Doing it right".

Although I would of picked to be one of those succubus girls as my reward  :evil:

I would have picked THE succubus girls as my reward, but then again I already have a management position waiting for me in the Christian hell when some pious crusader finally manages to kill me.

The girl left of center with the purple hair reminds me of that demon lady from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon; her name was something like Nara.

This is quite possibly the best video on youtube:

don't know what that is but the girl in the second panel is nearly exactly how I imagine Patience Kys from the Ravenor novels, except with black/brown hair.  Kind of hope her and the first mate of the rouge trader ship hook up.  Although I know she was just flirting with him 'cause she was bored while they were waiting for something to happen with the sting operation.  That character wouldnt by chance be able to throw knives telekineticly, would she?

After a battle in Evangelion, Shinji is relieved to find that Rei has survived.  She is famously unemotional, and they exchange the words in the heading and first panel.  She then produces a subtle first attempt at a smile:

To be one of them, not have one of them. I'm fully aware of the second part of your sentence, which is some of the reason for that  :evil:..  but they are just so pretty :)  The one on the far left looks like "I can't believe I got dragged into this again."

Also, I can't seem to stop watching that video

@pwhodges: that's a cute picture...but you didn't answer my question.  :-)  May have to check the show out some day though.

What didn't I answer?  The show I named: it is Evangelion (Neon Genesis Evangelion in full).  A fuller explanation of how that scene comes about is not really appropriate in this thread.  The picture is from the four-part film remake (not yet complete), and the smile is a bit less subtle in the original series.  But I'd recommend not watching the films before watching the original series (26 eps) plus the film End of Evangelion which is an expanded version of the ending (ignore Death and Rebirth) - the series and film are both unfortunately out of print in English-speaking countries, and likely to stay that way for a good while longer.  If you have a real interest in anime you owe it to yourself to watch what is possibly the most influential series of all.

Taken from Wikipedia itself: "A fluffer is a person employed to keep a male adult film star aroused on the set. These duties, which do not necessarily involve touching the actors, are considered part of the makeup department. After setting up the desired angle, the director asks the actors to hold position and calls for the fluffer to "fluff" the actors for the shot."

Easy to find out. Just try to execute that jump from a kneeling position. And then get enough height to kick someone in the shins. Harder than he makes it look.

The answer is no. It's a cool trick, but it's not viable even if you can do a kip up or the kip kick maneuver the gentleman in the .gif performs. When performing an unarmed defense against a firearm your first and primary task is to get the barrel off line with your body. It is VERY possible that the opponent would fire at any point in the defense, leaving you injured at best.

Me? Hahah. Fuck no. Not even when I was running 20 minute 5ks and doing 20 pull ups pretty much daily was I ever able to get those. It's a combination of having the right build and developing the right musculature. I was always way too dense to get a good throw from the ground like that.

'tis the season.

As funny/accurate as that comic is, I'm more amused by the fact that it's apparently set in Chagrin Falls, a place I'm familiar with.

I read that comic and I just can't help but think "Why doesn't mister Smythe just call the cops?"

I get the message that he's trying to convey, the role reversal and all that, but it just doesn't jive for modern society. If a random group of assholes tried to "discover" someone's house in today's society, the local PD would come on by to taze 'em in the taint.

Forgive me if this isn't allowed.. but god this comic is awesome. The site layout, the art, the characters.. it definitely works as a hold over for the next QC comic :)

"YOU. YOU ARE FUCKING AMAZING, MAN," Calvin said. "I FUCKING LOVE THIS. WHAT IS THIS, YOU KNOW. I’VE NEVER EVEN SEEN SNOW BEFORE."

He stopped and looked around. “I DON’T EVEN… I MEAN, WHERE ARE WE.”

Hobbes smiled.

"HOBBES, DUDE," Calvin said, "THIS IS MENTAL, DUDE. LET’S BUILD A FUCKING SNOWMAN. LET’S MAKE A TOBOGGAN AND DO SOME JUMPS!" He peered through the snow and tried to figure out where the shed was.

"DUDE, DUDE. WHERE DID YOU SAY WE WERE?" He looked at Hobbes. "H-MAN. TALK TO ME. Don’t you think we should head back?"

Once again, Hobbes said nothing.

Calvin started to feel a little nervous. He’d never seen Hobbes like this before. “Hobbes, man, come on. Knock it off. It’s snowing, dude. What if we can’t see our footprints on the way back?”

Hobbes turned to him. “We’re not going back,” he said quietly.

"Bro, what?" Calvin said, pulling his jacket tighter around him. "It’s fucking snowing and I’m getting pretty fucking cold over here and you’re not even wearing any fucking pants." Calvin noticed that Hobbes had tears in his eyes, and as he watched the tears cracked and went translucent and Calvin realised that they’d just frozen in front of him.

Hobbes held his shoulders. “Calvin. You’re growing up, kid. Soon you won’t need me anymore.”

"The fuck I won’t!" Calvin shouted. "Jesus, man! We’ve fucking talked about this! I’m not just gonna take you down to the daycare centre like this Toy Story 3 or some shit. You’re coming with me!"

Hobbes shook his head. “They always say that. I can’t let it happen again. I can’t go back to being just another raggedy toy tiger for some kid to puke on. Do you know how old that gets, Calvin? Do you?”

He looked at the boy sadly. “This time, you’re coming with me, Cal. It’s going to end here. Today. Isn’t this how you’d want to die, Calvin? Out on an adventure with your best friend?”

Calvin shook his head in terror. “Hobbes, please, Hobbes, man, you have to come home with me!” He looked around wildly. “We came from, uh… What…” By now, their footprints had completely disappeared.

"It’s over, kid," Hobbes said gently, "Too late. This is where it ends. C’mere and give me a hug."

Calvin started sobbing. “This is fucked, man. This is so fucked up. I’m just a kid, dude. I’m too young to die.”

Hobbes put his arms around him and hugged him tightly. “No one’s ever too young to die, Calvin,” he whispered in his ear.

The difference being the one on the right doesn't have a choice in the matter and in many Muslim nations (here defined as a nation ruled by a Muslim theocracy at least in part that has instituted full Sharia law or keeps it's laws rooted in the same) the courts are wildly biased against women, especially on clothing violations. It's the next level of victim blaming. "She was dressed like she wanted it" becomes "Even with all we have put in place to prevent women's temptation of men, still she managed to beguile poor Ricky, such an evil creature! Stone her immediately!"

Obviously I think laws like the one you're referring to are awful, and oppressive, but I was also flabbergasted when my friend told me that her little sister (19 years old) believes that it should be illegal in this country to wear full coverings, because "if I went to their country I wouldn't be allowed to wear a bikini so why should they be allowed to dress differently from what's normal here?". Um. Right. Yes.

So basically the worst kind of person.

On a clothing-related note I'mma post a cute comic by Elias (http://sirpaahdin.deviantart.com/):

If it's your CHOICE you should be able to wear whatever the hell you want. The average woman in a Burka doesn't have much in the way of choice for anything. This is not true in all Muslim nations however, though it can be true in families and sub cultures within those nations. For example the nation of Jordan does not require Sharia dress for women or men, and most people are fairly westernized, some people like my good friend and long term correspondant Amira chose the hijad (a head covering that is probably the lowest tier of muslim dress and is commonly worn with "normal" if conservative western street clothes) for herself as an expression of her faith. That should be perfectly fine. Beating a woman because she decided to show some ankle is not.

In other news let's go flying.

Well, yeah. At the point that pic was taken, there wasn't much activity... but it shows as having peaked at over 3 EXAbytes a second. It would be difficult to think what couldn't be transmitted instantly over that kind of speed.

Just to clarify, the 4.8KB/s was kinda fast for my normal internet speeds. I need better internets.
The bug showed up when I was installing Skyrim from a DVD; it copied the game from the disc but then started downloading a patch. I think Steam was showing the download/install progress as 0% while the disc was copied, then suddenly recognised 5 gig of data at once. That'd probably cause a spike like that.

Quote from: Jack Dawson
I later learned it was over eighty years ago, when she said she'd never let go. Then she let go. I sank, and I sank fast, and everything was so cold, colder than I thought possible. All of a sudden I couldn't move, like I'd been encased in ice. It was oddly comforting, and I slept, never expecting to wake up. I didn't dream much, but when I did, it was always of her. Then all of a sudden I woke up. I looked up and the ice had started to crack. I was able to stick my arm out and I saw what had caused the crack, it was a blue stone. The Heart of the Fucking Ocean had awoken me from my eternal slumber. Suddenly I realized I was underwater, and grabbing the stone, swam up as fast as I could. I got to the surface, and oddly enough, there was a pair of sunglasses floating there, which was good, since it was bright out. I looked up and saw the person who had thrown in the stone and for a brief moment I saw her. "Rose?", I asked myself. "No, that can't be her, that woman's ancient...unless...how long was I under?" Luckily the boat was close enough so I was able to swim to it and attract the attention of someone on board, who lowered a life raft. I grabbed onto it, and if I knew what I was getting myself into...well, I'd still have grabbed the fucking thing, the ocean was still cold!

on Swords

Quote
The vaunted differences between the katana and the longsword are largely myth.

First off: longswords are nowhere near as heavy as everyone thinks they are, the weight difference between an average longsword and an average katana is very slight.

Second: Longswords are not just random hack and slash weapons. THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS JUST RANDOM HACK AND SLASH WEAPONS EVERY WEAPON IN THE WORLD REQUIRES SKILL AND FINESSE! To use a longsword requires precision and training and skill. If you think the longsword requires no skill I suggest you try fighting a master, or go read The Flower of Battle by Fiore dei Liberi.

Third: The structural differences between a katana and a longsword make little to no functional difference.
The reason the katana is so narrow and has a slight curve has nothing to do with functionality and EVERYTHING to do with iron being very rare in Japan.
The curve on a katana is only enough to help increase the cutting length while using the minimum of material.
The differences between Katana technique and longsword technique are about as large as the differences between Italian longsword technique and German longsword technique.
Because there’s only so much you can do with a long sharp piece of metal.

Fourth: The Katana did not evolve. They came up with one design and never changed it for thousands of years, not once. The design process of the longsword is well documented, it went through thousands of permutations and redesigns to make it more efficient, more useful and more adaptable.

Fifth: Longsowrds took a fuckton of work and preparation. Ok, I’m about to burst your bubble here, but bear with me because you’re going to learn something.
When the Japanese developed their folded steel technique it was in response to the fact that their iron ore was not only rare, it was also so full of impurities it was brittle and pretty awful at being a weapon.
All the Japanese folded steel technique really did was bring their steel up to the quality that was standard in most European steel.
Why do I say Japanese folded steel?
BECAUSE THE REST OF THE WORLD HAD ALREADY GOTTEN THERE ABOUT A THOUSAND YEARS BEFOREHAND!
Japanese Folded Steel is primitive compared to some of the shit we were producing for weapons at the same time in Europe.
And do you want to know who the masters of that were? THE FUCKING VIKINGS!
Japanese folded steel involves hammering one piece of steel into a fucking sandwhich over and over and over again.
Viking folded steel involves taking separate rods of Iron (For a flexible core) and Steel (for a hard edge) AND FUCKING BRAIDING THEM TOGETHER! LITERALLY BRAIDING TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF METAL IN THREE OR MORE PIECES TOGETHER AND THEN HAMMERING THAT INTO A SWORD! JUST TRY AND TELL ME THAT’S NOT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING YOU’VE EVER HEARD!

Sixth: The Katana was a backup weapon. It was literally the last resort. It got a lot of reverence in bushido because of how pretty it was and for no other reason. But the chief weapon of the samurai was actually their Kyu (longbow) followed by their Naginata (A spear, which was essentially like a katana on a stick and WAY more effective) or their Tetsu bo (A big conical wooden club covered in iron studs) and then if none of that worked then they would use the katana.

Seventh: The function of a longsword depends on the historical period you’re thinking of. In the 15th century and onward they were for dealing with plate armour and their design changed to reflect that.
But they existed long before then and had many different functions, people of each period tailoring them for their specific needs.

Eighth: Swords are expensive. Doesn’t matter what period or country you’re in a sword is a LOT of metal and metal is ALWAYS expensive.
In almost every culture spears and axes were FAR more common than swords.
This caused a widespread phenomenon that historians/archaeologists/folklorists refer to as “the cult of the sword” where the rarity and beauty of swords causes them to become an object of reverence.
Almost every culture that developed swords also developed a weird spiritual reverence for them. The cult of the sword died off FAR later in Japan than it did in Europe which is why katanas have so much reverence and mythology attached to them even into the modern age.

Ninth: Stop idealising other cultures because they’re over there.

No worse - we never did the Easter Bunny in my family, but I was also disappointed that there's no Father Christmas. As for deities, if the parents believe in that deity then it's not dishonest of them to teach their children about it/them (although I think they should also be honest about the fact that many people don't believe, and allow them to make their own mind up). You can enjoy the story of Father Christmas etc without pretending he's real (http://daycaredaze.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/counter-cultural-me-or-our-santa-free-christmas/).

I actually disagree with this statement on some level. Cutlasses and Machetes can be pretty efficiently used with minimal skill and training. The Marine Corps cutlass manual circa the mid 1800s suggested a day to teach new recruits the basic drills and cuts, then work it in to regular bayonet practice.

actually he just did it on a whim, the swordsman acted along with it (for laughs) and the directors ended up keeping it, felt it was more tuned to how the character would react...much to the dismay of the swordsman who was exited to have his own long scene in a movie.

Not talking about whether or not Santa exists... I'm talking about whether or not the parents believe he does. I don't think it's dishonest to tell your child that something exists if you truly believe that it does, only if you know it doesn't but are trying to get them to believe in it.

I think my approach will be similar to the one in the blog post I linked; to tell my children about Saint Nicholas and how the story about him has morphed into Santa, discuss the traditions (not just the UK ones but other countries too), and warn them not to ruin the game for other children.

It's just an annual nation-wide theater play. There's no reason it can't be just as fun if the children know that as well.

Precisely - kids love imaginative play, the fact that they know it isn't real doesn't ruin it at all. Thinking it is then finding out it isn't does though.

@Blue kitty: if anything my post was about stop idolizing swords period. Go Indy!

Mine was from a post on tumblr someone made in response to another post responding to the gif
Quote
And that is what happens when a masterfully crafted scalpel collides with a masterfully crafted guillotine.

Does nobody understand that longswords and katanas are two different kinds of tool?Longswords are essentially sharpened fucksticks designed to destroy the shit out of anything resembling armor that comes their way. They shatter bone, jelly flesh, and essentially fuck people up by sheer inexorable force of being a goddamn sharp steel bar.

Katanas don’t do that.They’re not meant to withstand collision with armor or a brick wall or a charging fully outfitted warhorsebecause the circumstances of its development didn’t call for that. It’s a precision instrument. It’s designed to be lightweight, outmaneuver, and find weak spots, not go barreling into people hack-n-slashing your way to victory. It’s a specialized tool.

In a sense this reflects a core difference between cultures; katanas are a shitton of work and preparation to make the execution as efficient and streamlined as possible, while longswords are more durably and simply made in response to a climate that would require a soldier to be a one-man battering ram in battle.

And yes, Santa is real. But he died a long time ago. (Saint Nicholas.)

Santa is real, but as we have noted else where, Santa is Odin All Father.

on Swords
For obvious reasons, I am no fan of katana-fetishisation, and I know nothing much about European swords or swordsmanship, but the credibility of the passage you quoted is blown out of the water, piled up on shore, dried out and burned to ashes by this piece of ahistorical drivel:
Quote
Fourth: The Katana did not evolve. They came up with one design and never changed it for thousands of years, not once. The design process of the longsword is well documented, it went through thousands of permutations and redesigns to make it more efficient, more useful and more adaptable.

Not all Japanese swords are katana. Not even all Japanese swords that look like katana, to the untutored fanboy eye, are katana. The katana was a fairly late development in Japanese sword design, not "thousands of years" old, and its design varied over time in response to its very busy users' needs. Essentially the quoted passage is simply the mirror-image of ignorant katana fetishisation.

Quote
Ninth: Stop idealising other cultures because they’re over there.
Because it is much better to piss on other cultures without taking the trouble to learn about them, right?

That passage is a bit hack and slash.

For a very, very brief introduction into the history and construction of swords by the Japanese, you could do worse than to read the relevant Wikipedia article on the subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_sword (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_sword) And if you are going to fetishise something, at least have the decency to do it with at least some scholarly approach.

I've always enjoyed the hardware side of military history, but it's silly to obsess about a katana because it's pretty and supposed to be fuck off sharp. You should be taking it in context of the other arms and armours of the region/era that it was being used in because that tells us so much more about the way we used to fight each other. That sort of thing should be far more interesting.

I really like Katana and Japanese swordsmanship personally. As soon as I move back to Denver there's an Iaido Dojo I'm joining and I'm actively considering a year or two in Japan studying Niten Ichi Ryu (Two Heavens As One style, the style of Miyamoto Musashi) however I'm quite competent with a few European blades (my weapon of choice is a cutlass, like me old granny used to say, a Rapier may be witty but a cutlass makes'em gutless!) and can do terrible things to people with knives (mostly following a Philipino influenced form) but my preference is more about the culture and style around the sword then thinking the blade is in any way superior to any other. Then again I follow the theory that there is no such thing as a superior sword, just superior swordsmen/women.

TL:DR; the only thing imho stupider then spending shedloads of time talking about why Katana are awesome is doing the same thing tearing them down. Neither party is likely to actually pick up a sword any time soon and practice to truly skilled proficiency.

It’s a precision instrument. It’s designed to be lightweight, outmaneuver, and find weak spots, not go barreling into people hack-n-slashing your way to victory. It’s a specialized tool.
Ironically, when looking at a longsword and katana from the edge, the katana more resembles a steel bar IMO, whereas most longswords have a subtle taper in the blade along its length that, along with the fuller, redistributes the balance point closer to the hilt and lightens the blade.  The two swords are rather close in weight; once you get longswords that are 46-48"+ do they start to consistently outweigh katanas.

And it comes down to what the swords were used against.  The longsword evolved in response to armor developments (no, you can't cut through armor with one, but you can half-sword stab through joints), and the katana was also a weapon developed for its environment.

Did European swordsmiths also do the trick with frozen-in stresses in the blade to put the edge under compression and thus allow a more brittle steel there than would normally be functional?


If you're talking about covering the untempered blade in clay like a katana before quenching it, I'm not aware of it in historical European swordsmithing.

True.  The 15th century IIRC is when true katanas as we know them appeared.  Its 'ancestors', such as the tachi, were around for a few centuries before them.  And the first Japanese swords (those that have archaeological evidence) are either Chinese jian or copied from Chinese swords.

Anyone who can't deal with the fact that medieval weapons and indiana jones movies exist is terminally fucked up.

This recent wave of spoilering shit is tailor made for pissing me the fuck off. I fucking swear. Political correctness doesn't even describe this crap.

The cherry on top though is that those tests aren't even remotely representative of anything a sword would go through in normal use. Yes, a few chips or dents here and there are to be expected, but swords are not usually affixed to work benches. A person's arms and other joints and musculature will always give way slightly.

Resume writing was heavily stressed at AF&RC when I was out-processing.  A lot of military terms, titles and jobs themselves are unfamiliar to civilians, so you have to "civilianize" your language as you explain your work experience.  Stuff like, a wing commander is the equivalent of a CEO, stuff like that.

Certainly they do when they post fairly serious, politically controversial, content and comments here.

I was gonna say the middle vending machine is in the wall, there's an indoor street lamp that could ignite the flag for being hot, the tanks look like a mix between the sherman turret and a soviet APC whose name escapes me with possible russian scrip on the side of the turret, the tank is humping the pepsi machine and the slippery when wet sign has PTM, who ever laid the brick for the wall had terrible craftmans ship, foot prints in the sand next to the tank, and the tank has chrome hubcaps...possible spinners too.

I do not know enough about modern lazers, nor at what temperature does latex and wood burn at, to dispute either of you.  But I always though lazers were color less unless adding a light to it.  This one is so bright (could be from the added light) I almost thought it was shooting plasma!

Lasers are monochromatic (single-colored) not colorless. By the looks of it I'm guessing they're using something around 455 nm (maybe something like this (http://www.wickedlasers.com/arctic)) which would be powerful enough to pop a balloon, but probably not powerful enough to burn the door. As a bit of warning, if you do some of the things they show people doing with those lasers on that site, you may get a visit from Homeland Security (or your country's analog, if you're not in the U.S.)...

edit -- looks like they may have removed some of the more questionable pictures from the site. I can't find the one where they're standing on top of a mountain pointing the laser up into the sky.

Yeah, pointing powerful lasers at the sky runs the risk of causing a plane crash. Don't do that, people.

My brother bought a laser while on a school trip to... somewhere abroad in Europe... can't remember where. Anyway, it got confiscated at the border. I don't think I ever knew exactly why, he wasn't really old enough to kick up a fuss and question it (or do I mean wasn't foolish enough? I suppose that depends on which border it was).

Post by: LTK on 16 Dec 2013, 15:25
It's interesting that you can't see the beam of the red laser, just the place it points at, but when it switches to the violet laser the beam is clearly visible. Apparently the air reflects more of the shorter-wavelength violet light, while the longer-wavelength red light is absorbed by the air... Isn't that right?

Yeah, pointing powerful lasers at the sky runs the risk of causing a plane crash. Don't do that, people.
I think that's a myth.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: cesium133 on 16 Dec 2013, 15:27
More likely the blue laser is just more intense than the red laser, so enough of it gets scattered by dust in the air to be seen by the camera.

edit -- and yes, pointing lasers in the air, especially near an airport, will get you a talking-to by a law enforcement agency.

It's real (http://www.laserpointersafety.com/laser-hazards_aircraft/laser-hazards_aircraft.html), and they don't have to be powerful - don't do it. 

Remember that the point of a laser is that the beam is coherent - there is very little spread over the distances concerned, so it can be nearly as bright when it reaches a plane as across a room.

A policeman might think you are pointing a laser sight at them; A man has been killed when he refused to stop shining his pointer at the police.

Okay, that's much more convincing. I recall hearing something about someone refuting how airplane windshields being especially susceptible to light scattering, but that hasn't really got to do anything with being blinded by laser light. Still, it takes a lot more than a laser to make a plane crash that isn't in the process of landing.

I have a military grade green targeting laser, the same kind my army buddies mounted on their machine guns (visible green laser, as much of a warning as a sight) which is also well into the "dazzler" range... (in Close Quarters Fighting bright green lasers can be used to "flash" the hostile's eyes disorienting them and resulting in safer target neutralization). So of course the best thing to do is to put it in a Star Trek phaser toy.


We have attempted to range it, but haven't really found a maximum range, we just know it's at the very least beyond visual range.

I have some of the coolest geek toys!

One of our neighbours has a fairly powerful (i.e. illegal to buy, but not to own) green laser, which he's mounted onto a telescope. It's calibrated to point precisely at what you're looking at. It doesn't get much use because of aircraft reasons, but it's pretty magnificent.

I think I might still have them somewhere.. I'll have to look when I get home. They were pretty well done.

On another note.. I just started clicking on those links at the very bottom of the page and noticed that this page has 6 errors on it, according to that XHTML link :P

I keep forgetting people don't think like me.  I wasn't saying "she's hot, so it doesn't matter" . I saw the picture and haven't seen her in quite awhile and was like wow... she's still pretty hot. Pretty much ignoring the context, it may not have been obvious to others.  It's why I started on that whole Unreal Tournament thing.

... now, if she were ugly and not known for porn then she'd be in real trouble.

Hmm... I actually never knew she was known for porn.. just saw a few episodes of "Shot at Love" thing on VH1 *awhile* ago

Also...

Wow, such meme. Very old. Tired now.

And then there was that whole weird thing where they would splice bits of a gym/juice bar in between the fights that made no sense.

If you see a mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb, you're supposed to stick your arm out and hold your thumb over the cloud. If the cloud is bigger than your thumb, you're in the radiation zone and should evacuate duck and cover.

Maybe I am reading it wrong but I thought it was trying to decipher if it was a sex toy and if it was not then it is okay to give to children.

Maybe I am reading it wrong but I thought it was trying to decipher if it was a sex toy and if it was not then it is okay to give to children.

"Is it a boy-thing or a girl-thing? Well, let's determine that by seeing if it's used for a specific type of genitals! Oh, right, if it's for genital use it's probably not for kids in the first place.."

How exactly would you make the leap between "Boys/girls?" and "Penis/Vagina?" without equating one with the other? If the toy is operated with genitalia and you're an adult, wouldn't that necessarily mean a trans woman who happened to be comfortable enough with it would be using something for "Men", as judged solely by the presence of a penis, and so on? Hey, that thing you enjoy? It's not for you.

That's just in the specific case. The equating of the two in society obviously has much, much more far reaching, damaging consequences than something like that.

Well, I would dock a few marks for poor handwriting, but:

"I'm not doing well over here. Working conditions are bad, the rewards slight. But don't worry about me, only ten people a day are seriously injured, and I am very careful. Business isn't too good - I know little English, but I can understand roughly what the foreigners are saying. I hope that I can make a name for myself! I will work hard over here,  and take good care of myself. Are you all doing well? I miss everyone a lot, and hope that we'll be able to be reunited soon."

In other words, it is a completely legitimate answer to the question. Now with added context. (http://blog.angryasianman.com/2013/12/that-funny-chinese-homework-assignment.html)

“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”

I have problems with this:

The lines are not the same length.. the lines and the arrows are the same length.  If I'm wrong with this, please explain.

How is that blue box not possible in the real word? It looks like the outline of a wood cabinet or something.

The tuning fork doesn't "mysteriously" transform.. it looks like it's made that way and just rounds the end of the bar (like it was made square and just "sanded" or something to make the ends cylindrical).

How is that staircase not possible? I know the image they were trying to go for but it doesn't look right.  It just looks like the one closer to the viewer is higher up with the two sides going down to a much lower point.

That table thing; they say it like it's hard to find.. it's extremely obvious even at a first glance.

I'm not meaning to rain on anyone's parade with the above comments, but the content of that picture just doesn't make sense.

In the side view (the image linked above, and the first below) the smaller rear sprocket is hidden, so it's not clear what's going on.  In the rear view (the second below) you can see that the inner sprocket is smaller.  The two sprockets rotate in opposite directions, so the one whose ratchet catches depends on the way that you pedal ("forwards" or "backwards") - both drive the bike forwards, but with different gear ratios.  Neat, if two ratios will do you, I guess (the front dérailleur makes it four, of course).

Whudunwhatnow? That sounds awesome in concept but I like being able to adjust the position of the pedals by pedaling backwards, so it's not for me.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: bhtooefr on 01 Jan 2014, 16:16
The biggest mechanical problem with retrodirects, FWIW, is not keeping the chain tensioned.

It's not even getting two freewheels on one hub, one backwards.

It's making sure the pedals, crankset, and bottom bracket don't come apart from the bidirectional pedaling forces, as I understand. You get to epoxy (especially the pedals) or loctite the crap out of everything.

And, yes, it does prevent you from adjusting the position of the pedals by pedaling backwards at a stop. However, unlike a fixie, you CAN adjust them while you're still rolling. I occasionally ride a coaster brake bike, which has the same problem, and after the first couple of stops, I get used to it and remember to leave the pedals in the right place.

And, it acts as a parking brake of sorts - the freewheels will bind up and prevent the bike from rolling backwards at all.

Post by: Akima on 02 Jan 2014, 01:45
Too many potential mechanical issues.
Not to mention bio-mechanical issues. You can achieve a similar effect using a specially geared bottom-bracket bearing (http://www.gizmag.com/bixe-gear-backwards-pedaling/28924/). I am uncertain why you would want to though; especially if you ride with toe-clips, foot-straps, clipless retention etc. that allow you to exert power over most of the pedal-arc. I suspect that the best fore-aft position of the bottom-bracket would not be the same for pedalling backwards as forwards.

Very fundamentally, we pedal bicycles mainly with the same muscles and neural programming that we developed to run. Before you decide to pedal backwards, you should ask if you would be faster running backwards.

If all you want is to put two gears on a fixie, without getting your hands dirty with a flip-flop hub (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_hub), one of the two-speed bottom-brackets (http://www.schlumpf.ch/hp/schlumpf/faq.getriebe.engl.htm) might be a better choice.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: bhtooefr on 02 Jan 2014, 02:19
Well, a retrodirect can't be a fixie, it works by being a freewheel setup. And shifting on a flip-flop hub is a lot different and far less convenient than shifting a retrodirect.

Retrodirects came about because they were a LOT cheaper to make than any other gearing system, I'd assume, while still giving convenient ratio changes. And this was before derailleur setups were really practical (although the original retrodirects did actually have a front derailleur), and internal gear hubs would've been expensive.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: The Seldom Killer on 02 Jan 2014, 03:19
Apologies, I think the original retro-direct image showed up on review of my posting as it was in my cache.

Retro-directs were patented back in 1903 by Hirondelle, back in the cycling technology boom of rod shift derailluers and boot clips. Back then it was innovative and, to a degree, practical and economical. Back in those days there weren't worldwide, wholesalers and distributors so a lot of technological developments and therefore availability came as regional developments. The originals only had one front chain ring though and the tensioner was static as it didn't need to move.

I'd love to have a go on one but can't see that I would want to ride one for any length of time. Drew Buck completed PBP on one in 2007 and found it pretty tough going. He had to put in a lot of assessment and forethought into each bit of hill to decide if it would be worth the change over.

Akima, I think there have been some difficulties with Schlumpfs on fixed wheel although I can't remember exactly why. I think not brilliantly compatible though. I'm tempted to look at setting up a 44x17 by 39x20 by use of a Surly Dingle an see how that goes. Not necessarily a clean change over of gears but potentially a bit quicker and easier than flipping the wheel. Of course I think Sheldon Brown put together a four speed fixed by building in an offside drive and carrying a second chain.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: bhtooefr on 02 Jan 2014, 04:26
Apparently there's some lash in the Schlumpf bicycle bottom brackets, which would hurt it for fixed gear applications. And it may not tolerate shifting under load that well? The Patterson Metropolis, the nearest competitor, freewheels at the crank, so it isn't suitable either.

There is always the Sturmey-Archer S3X, though. 3 speed fixed gear hub, although I hear they're not tolerant of trick riding abuse.

(http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090215062459/starwars/images/8/89/Rogue_Squadron_CSWE.jpg)

my big reason is because the original rogue squadron took place when the rebel alliance was going through some rougher stuff than new rogue squadron.  The Empire is still around and they (new rogue squadron) fly against and with their version of the red baron (Kirtan Lor I think his name is?) but the new rogue squadron had way more clout and resources than old rogue squadron.  I just like that kind of struggle and circumstances that old rogue squadron had to face.  The rebels are a fledgling force where as during new rogue squadron's time, systems were in open revolt and/or completely free of the Empire.  Sadly there isnt much material aside from the rogue squadron games and I think there was a comic book series from a long time ago but I'm not really a comic book guy.

So... random pointless question: Is there a difference between "damn it" and "dammit"? 

The first looks more grammatically correct, whereas the second one looks more.. "redneck"?

Not saying either one is wrong, Mr. Doctor's comment just reminded me of it.

So... random pointless question: Is there a difference between "damn it" and "dammit"? 
no they are essentially the same word in definition but "dammit" was considered an awful word in old timey times (victorian era) often referred to as the big big "D" on par with the F word in vulgarity (seen as uncouth to say and something a gentleman of standing shouldn't utter). As the well bred captain of the Pinafore will show

Not a T-50 that took part in the capture of Berlin, the T-50. As in the single tank that overcame the entirety of nazi Germany's last stand on it's own. And the turret of that tank is in this grill!

Not to mention the o-word itself used in an ad aimed at people who might prefer not to be called obese. The toilet itself seems a poor, water-wasting design to me; the manufacturer claims a "low" 6l per flush (http://www.upflushingtoilets.com/Maximus_Residential.html), which is a lot by modern Australian standards*. I can see why the "Maximus" needs a wider seat, but why make the pan so much larger? There is a correlation between body-mass and stool-mass (roughly 50g of poop per 10kg body mass per day, I believe), but I think a normal-sized pan would be able to accommodate it. There is no need for the outside of the toilet to follow the shape of the bowl, as one can see from the "winged" design of the so-called "Anglo-Indian" toilet (an early attempt to produce a dual-mode toilet suitable for sitters and squatters):
(http://eagleceramics.net/images/products/water-closet/03.jpg)(http://somanyglobal.com/Upload/SanitaryWare/SBig_48.jpg)

*Interestingly the same manufacturer also offers Australian-made Caroma water-saving toilets (http://www.upflushingtoilets.com/Caroma-Toilets.htm), though it carefully refrains from mentioning their national origin, presumably because otherwise Americans would think each one came complete with a deadly spider under the seat...

Post by: jwhouk on 07 Jan 2014, 15:16
2L/flush is mandated here in the states, if memory serves, so any 6L toilet would be illegal to purchase.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: bhtooefr on 07 Jan 2014, 15:35
6 liters is the "low flow" standard here in the US, and that's what's mandated.

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title10-vol3/pdf/CFR-2011-title10-vol3-sec430-32.pdf

One problem is that a lot of toilets, especially cheaper toilets, are designed for high flow, and do a piss-poor (pun intended) job of flushing when flushed on our "low" flow.

And, it doesn't take 6 liters to flush urine even on the crappiest (pun also intended) toilets.

Problem is that a cheap dual flush quantity toilet is very problematic, and parts are hard to get and expensive for such a toilet when it breaks down. (Thank you lowest bidder!)

Speaking of toilets, the most brazen theft that occurred while I worked for Borders Books was that somebody came in during business hours and stole all of the flush fixtures to the urinals and toilets in the men's room. They also hit the McDonald's across the street. My guess was a subcontractor to a new strip mall being constructed just down the street.

But if you were really chipped like that, wouldn't there be safe-guards to prevent you from realizing that the chip had activated?

It really reminds me of Repo Men with Jude Law. Pretty much the same concept :)

You could easily change that to "Fan" and "Not-Fan" and it'd still be accurate.

That's a talent...? Ruining a banana with your feet?

I'm more interested in what that silver cable is and where it's going in the background

<badass image>

That is awesome :)

Peeling a banana rather.

I was saying ruining because there would be no way I would eat a banana if someone peeled it with their feet.

For the record I'm not really okay with how a lot of people react to someone freezing up like that. It's not a fun thing to experience, even if you make movies with.. issues.

"Hahaha they shut down over anxieties and had to distance themself!"

It's not exactly something to just snap out of. Excusing yourself is at least a better outcome than staring blankly at the crowd, feeling terribly cold all over and not being able to make a sound.

So, well, let's not make that a thing he can't live down, alright?

It doesn't exactly hurt anyone to click a spoiler button. There's not a rule that certain things have to be in spoilers, just a "don't be a jerk" rule and that's open to being interpreted as "spoiler things about suicide" if desire.

For the record, I found the Bible image funny but kyomi's response offensive. So basically ymmv with offending people and it's not hard to be careful.

I am quite tired of people constantly going on about how religion is stupid and the Bible is fictional and believers are idiots. I have never in my entire life attempted to convert you or anyone else, I have never told you that you're a moron for not believing something which forms a very important part of my life, and I never will. Please extend the same courtesy to me and other believers of the same and other faiths. You do not actually have to express every single thought that ever comes into your head. Just because you think something is stupid does not mean that you have to say it. That applies both to religion and to the use of spoilers. Click them or don't, but just deal with it. It's hardly a big problem.

Sadly the bear had to be put down for being so friendly

Nope, I refuse to allow this to be true. Nope. Not believing it.

One of my favourite bits of Love Actually is where the daughter of the woman whose husband is thinking about having an affair says that she's going to be the Second Lobster in the nativity play. It's funny because it is so true.

Apparently she's 6' and some change and size 14. I have no idea what that means in women's clothing sizes. My last serious girlfriend wore clothes from a 0 to a 6 depending on store. '

I don't actually know the technical definition of 'plus size' but one can easily be a size 16 on the hips with a figure like that, my ex girlfriend was pushing six feet and she was a size 16 but you'd never know that because it was only in her hips.

I think they just need to get rid of all of these ridiculous sizes and have a mandated standard size for every store.. I've seen people that are like size 0 in one store but then like a size 6 or so in another store..

This was a barn in my home town of Colorado Springs, it got torn down recently but it was really the coolest thing, every couple of months or once a year at a stretch the owners would paint it something new or invite a student group in to paint it.

From Miriam-Webster:

Quote
2medal - intransitive verb
 :  to win a medal <medaled in figure skating>

It's pretty common when referring to Olympic athletes. "He medaled in pole-vault in 2012. She's medaled 4 times," etc.

The KILL DATE is nowhere near the most uncomfortable or grossest thing in this, nor is what appears to be signs of hock burns indicating overcrowded factory farming. No, the most disturbing thing about this is that Evolve, an organisation that claims to promote veganism thinks that the best time to eat meat is while the animal is still alive.

Look again.

I'd be fine with this.  I grew up on a farm, so I'm well familiar with where meat comes from, and I often hunted my own meat (venison > beef, always).

True.  Much as I love meat, I find 'factory-farmed' meat to be unethical, so yes, I am somewhat of a hypocrite for still eating it.  I do remember one dinner conversation a couple years ago where the topic was hunting, and one guy was talking about how cruel and barbaric it is...while he was eating a porterhouse.  After he made his points, I pretty much just nodded and asked him how his steak was. 

He never picked up on what I was getting at.

So you've all probably heard of the Wikipedia philosophy thing (http://www.xkcd.com/903/), where clicking on the first link in an article (that's not in italics or parenthesis) will always cause you to end up on the article for philosophy.

I HAVE FOUND AN EXCEPTION. If you end up at Public company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_company) or Public limited company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_limited_company) you will become stuck in a loop.

I clicked on Random Article and got 1975–76 Greek Cup > Greek Cup > OPAP > Public company > Public limited company > Public company.

Because public company is a broad term, there are presumably lots of ways to end up there. Maybe I should fix this.

Naturally, as someone quite into Nordic history, aspects of it bothers me, though. Since places Norse people actually settled first often get considered "native land" of the Sivullirmiut (or even more ridiculous: Of the Inuits who later replaced the Sivullirmiut) when in fact, well, those migrations came afterwards. And are part of the reason those old Norse settlements are graveyards. :-P

I have no idea where they got the pipes, but Golf Co 2/9 was transfering off FOB Eagle to rotate back to the United States, and the company transfering in was a National Guard unit from Utah, i.e. Mormons, so instead of leaving the porn for the next set of guys as is tradition, the Marines decided to respect the oncoming unit's religious beliefs and remove any indecent material from the FOB in a ceremonial manner.

The other good news is that Constable Bourque is confident that the real-life Mr. Truffles is still living happily in the wild after being relocated. Reports of his euthanization surfaced n 2011, but she believes those reports mixed him up with another too-friendly-for-his-own good bear cub who was also pestering folks in the same area at the same time

Eponine (in this case played by British actress Samantha Barks) is a character from the book and play Les Miserables. Her primary task in the play is... uh quite varied but she delivers an absolutely heart wrenching solo and is quite literally friend zoned by one of the primary cast.

While it's true that Steve Jobs was overrated, the person who wrote this doesn't really know what they're talking about. There were programming languages and operating systems long before C and Unix were developed. While C not being developed may have been a setback, "No programs" is complete nonsense. They would just have been written in a different language. Hell, Fortran and COBOL were invented in the '50s.

The terms "meat popsicle" and "corpsicle" are derived from various science-fiction sources, and refer to a person frozen in cryogenic storage, and by extension someone who has been thawed out and revived. In some cases, such people are represented as not being regarded as fully human, or not having full human rights, on the basis that they are actually dead. This might be the basis or the use of the term in "The Fifth Element". Larry Niven explored some of these ideas in short stories like "Rammer", and his short novel "The Long Arm of Gil Hamilton".

^ exactly so.

Senpai is someone senior to you in the field being considered - not a teacher, though (that's Sensei).  So, other pupils in a higher grade, work colleagues with more experience - i.e. people you look up to.  The "n" sounds as "m" when spoken.

When read backwards, The Metamorphosis is a story about a sick beetle which is adopted by a family and nursed back to health until it turns into a man and becomes a successful salesman.

 - The "look at my biceps"
 - The "look at my abs"
 - The "look at my abs" Mk 2

Not that image again. Fuck I hate this image. (the sad Poke'mon image)

A. If you were raising your Eevee as an Umbreon and didn't get it... you kinda suck at this whole Poke'mon thing. The paths for the various Eeveelutions are pretty clearly laid out, and I can't imagine it's any different for the cute lil'pink bow critter in that picture. (Seriously. What is it? I mean I'm guessing it's an Eeveelution, but I haven't played since freaking Gold guys holy crap).
B. Accepting a world where Poke'mon are real, being a sentient domestic life form that commonly engages in very strong lifelong bonds with human beings, pulling shit like the above would make you one of the lowest known forms of human life. Same deal goes for domestic pets here in the real world, it's just a personal feeling, but I'd be okay if people like that could be hunted for sport. I'd probably apply for tags. Except for Michael Vick. Shooting's too good for him
C. As a regular Poke'mon player, and a manly man, there's really only one solution here, I am going to find out what generation that pink bow critter belongs too, what game I can get it in, then get that game SPECFICIALLY so I can evolve one, train it, and proceed to stomp the shit out of haters with it's help.*
D. Seriously. Who could yell at that? It's so FUCKING CUTE. Thor's beard the pink bow critter** is adorable. It's like a living plush toy that just wants to love you. And crush your enemies. Which is pretty metal. Snuggles and enemy crushing. I am DOWN.
(http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/046/6/a/sylveon_by_pichu90-d5v1chz.png)
It demands belly rubs


*Assuming said game is available for the DS, I am not opening to upgrading to a 3DS at this time.
**I am reliably informed the pink bow critter is a Slyveon. Or something like that.

Holy crap why can't Poke'mon be the real world T_T no matter how many worlds and fandoms I explore, that one seems like the best you can find. In general people are pretty not suck. You're encouraged to drop out of school and go on adventures (or stay in school and adventure on the weekends, I'm sure that's an option) and you have the option of meeting, befriending and otherwise interacting with 700+ sentient and highly intelligent unique life forms, all of which you can easily take with you on adventures and experiences in strange new places.

What ISN'T awesome about that? Sure you can do similar stuff by getting in to dog sledding at an early age, but do your Siberian Huskies breath fire? I think not.

I dunno, the fact that you're enslaving said sentient creatures against their will by some sort of spherical brainwashing cage and forcing them to inflict horrible violence on each other for entertainment and personal financial gain might count. You can do similar stuff by getting into cockfighting but unsurprisingly, that's illegal.

You don't have to battle you know. Well you do in the game, but besides the point.

Also thinking about it, really not that different from picking up a dog at the pet store, it might actually be more honest as you have to tame it yourself as opposed to benefiting from centuries of careful genetic selection and brain washing.

It wouldn't be clearly laid out in reality. You don't have a "Press parenting button A for..". If anything it would be following that "Raising" but still ending up with a Sylveon.

I thought the pokéball did the taming for you. Your job is to have one of your already-tamed creatures beat the shit out of it so it doesn't put up too much of a fight when it's time for the techno-brainwashing.

It might be interesting to see a game wherein all the world's wild pokémon are extinct due to overcatching and your only option is to buy factory-farmed pokémon from the supermarket. God knows they have no idea how to do conservation efforts, since the only natural reserves in existence have the sole purpose of letting you catch more pokémon.

See I doubt that would be a problem LTK, mostly on the grounds of the lack of serious encroachment, human cities are islands of humanity in the seas of Poke'mon controlled territory, and there's usually a pretty significant amount of space between them.

Also the anime makes it pretty clear that the taming is up to you. You can catch a squirrel but you can't show it you're safe and friendly without time and effort. Ash nearly getting killed by well... almost all of his poke'mon till he befriended them is indicative of that process. Ditto the Poke'amie mini game and the "happiness" ratings introduced in... GVI for the former and GIV for the latter I believe. With both having effects on stats, game play and progression.

I concur, but the sad thing is movie studios don't want to take risks and will do remakes because there is already an established name/brand in the public mind which will almost always guarantee ticket sales.  Its why we see remakes of previous movies and TV shows.  Sadly this constrains creativity in mainstream cinemas.

I don't understand how you can make a 50 Shades movie in the US. Considering how anything that's NC-17 or over will get seen by absolutely no-one and you can barely get away with a vagina shot let alone any proper-strength fucking in an R, and that the ENTIRE point is that they just wreck each other daily and nightly, that film is going to amount to a shitload of stilted dialogue and one bad sex scene.

Of this post, only the first picture makes any sense to me.

Also, youtube, y u suddenly autoplay random videos?

The second picture is Fox's, "The War on Women," which doesn't have a single woman on the panel

The third picture is someones twitter after Taylor Swift lost to Daft Punk, someones response to it

The entire point is systematic emotional and physical abuse being somehow romantic, and also appropriating a sexuality you clearly don't understand or respect in order to make money. So it sound straight up Hollywood's alley.

The lanterns read 马到成功, which is an idiom meaning "achieve immediate success", but literally it translates as "horses arrive success" (think of the cavalry riding to the rescue in old Westerns). The oval in top-right reads 31st year of the 60-year Chinese astrological cycle; in this context 2014.

and on an afterlife note...

http://www.duffelblog.com/2013/11/marines-hymn-heavens-scenes/

Quote
THE PEARLY GATES OF HEAVEN — In response to an investigation initiated by the Marine Corps Times, a spokesman for God has confirmed that because of a paperwork error Marines have actually been guarding the streets of Hell for the past 200 years.
....

St. Peter led this reporter over to the edge of Heaven, where Hell was distantly visible down below. He paused while listening to faint shrieking, drowned out by the heavy report of what sounded like a Mark 19 grenade launcher and followed by unnaturally deep booming laughter.
 
“God only knows what they’re doing down there,” he said while shaking his head, “and even He probably doesn’t since they revoked His security clearance last year.”

Thought: I have no idea how they drive in Hawai'i.

Point of Interest about U.S. Military slang: CONUS aka "The World" is typically used in common speech to mean "Any where under the American flag that isn't this desert fuckhole we're stuck in and/or home.

So while Hawai'i is not part of the Contiguous United States (CONUS) and is thus OCONUS, it still counts for bitching about however badly wherever you presently are sucks. With the distinction being left to S-1 clerks, paymasters and those evil individuals who plan out your orders for your next PCS to a little known base in Bumfuq, Egypt.

I really want a science fiction story where aliens come to invade earth and effortlessly wipe out humanity, only to be fought off by the wildlife.
They were expecting military resistance. They weren’t counting on bears.
It took us a while to recover.

The first attacks were vicious and without warning. They hit the biggest cities in the world, the ones with the highest populations first. In the blink of an eye Karachi, Tokyo, Shanghai, Seoul, Delhi, Mexico City, Jakarta, Manilla, and New York City…all gone in fire.

The computers went next.  All of them. Everything with transistors was theirs for the taking.  “Some sort of quantum effect,” the braniacs at CERN said, just before they disappeared in their own firey hell that took out most of Switzerland as well as sizeable chunks of France and Italy.

By the time the enemy landed, we were pretty much defenseless.  We couldn’t do much as they started…harvesting us. They didn’t want us dead, that’s for sure.  We were no good to them dead.

It got really bad really fast, and then they stopped.  And left.  They literally ran like the demons of hell were hot on their heels.  They left behind technology the likes of which we’d never seen before.  Including a couple of their…processing plants.

We blew those up.

So yeah, it took a while for us to recover, to bring our technology back online, and start understanding theirs.  To figure out what had happened, where they had gone.

And it urns out it wasn’t even us.  They knew all about us, they’d studied us closely for a long time, to make sure we were compatible.  They had us from the moment they fired the first shots from orbit.

They ignored everything else about the Earth, though. They didn’t bother to learn that we’re not the only animal species on Earth, and that we even share our lives with some of them. They didn’t bother to learn that there are bigger animals out in the wilds.

They didn’t bother to learn about the bears, or the wolves, or the hyenas, or the tigers.  They didn’t bother to learn about the locusts, or ants, or spiders.  They didn’t even know about birds.

Or the bees. According to what we’ve been able to translate, the bees really freaked them out. According to our best translation (which is admittedly shaky) their word for bees was roughly “poison drones.”  Or possibly “poison demons.”  Like I said, the translation is a little shaky.  Either one makes me smile.

It was as if the Earth itself rose up and threw itself at the invaders. Not just to send them packing, but to make them pay.  The fronts near the wildernesses crumbled first.  The invaders quickly learned that they couldn’t go anywhere near the oceans or any large body of water. They never even got a foothold in Australia. From there it was just a matter of time.

When I think about being attacked by every insect and animal on Earth…hell, I’d run too.  I fucking hate it when I walk into an empty spider web, let alone have them actively attack me.

We’re going be okay. I adopted a stray cat to keep me company, and to help keep the bad dreams away. The family down the street (they had two dogs and a parrot, so they made it through the invasion just fine) are keeping bees.
There are already plans for permanent protections for our wild spaces.  The rainforests, which were going to be gone within a few generations, will live on. We’ve learned our lesson.

We’re going to be better stewards of this world.  After all it did for us it’s the least we can do.

(Psst... Alaska is CONUS...)
Well, yes and no. If CONUS is continental US, then yes. If CONUS is contiguous US (which is probably what Akima was assuming), then no. Since it's used for both, neither is really wrong.

Wait....Disney did this (http://imgur.com/gallery/Ru459) and didn't bat an eye? Everyone just accepted it, no big controversy in the episode or anything? Hum.  Next you'll tell me they'll have princesses who go off and do their own thing with males as side characters who don't need to save them....

@Blue Kitty: Who wrote that? It's really good. Still, they forgot about microbes. The only thing preventing most bacteria from being flesh-eating bacteria is our immune system, and aliens (in particular the green slimy sort) would be like giant walking Petri dishes. It'd be like the ending of War of the Worlds, only less anticlimactic.

For the purpose of military pay rolls and administration, Alaska is considered CONUS last I knew.

Curious, because you said "contiguous" (which doesn't include Alaska). So the military CONUS must be continental.

I worked at Super Bowl XLIII (Feb '09 for the '08 season, Steelers v Cardinals, final score 27-23 Steelers). Springsteen at the halftime show. Ran copies for the press packets. Most of it was a curb stomp by the Steelers, but the Cards almost robbed it in the 4th quarter.  Dirty football, but a good fight at the end.

I still had a work shirt from that Super Bowl. I wore it today just to remind people of a GOOD Super Bowl.

*Corps, and we actually do the occasional bake sale, though car washes are more common. An oddly disportionate amount of women bring their cars though to get washed for some reason... one lady came through twice and donated a $20 each time! It's all to raise money for side activities like the Marine Corps Ball though goddess knows we could have used it here and there for supplies. (The Marines have the smallest budget in the D.O.D and a fuck ton to do with it)

Love that.


Reminded me of a story from around the sixties or seventies


Frankfurt Tower Controllers were, back then, not known for their tolerance of Pilots who failed to follow instructions.  One day, during a particularly day of heavy traffic and some bad weather, a British Pilot, making his first trip to Frankfurt got slightly lost in some fog while trying to taxi to the terminal.  Finally, after a few sharp messages from the Tower, the controller snapped at the Pilot.

"Haven't you been to Frankfurt before"  he said in a sharp, condicendingly sneering tone.

There was a seconds silence before the Pilot came back in a calm tone

"Once, but that was in '44, and we didn't land."

Hm. This in turn reminds me of a story about the German politician Franz Josef Strauss (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Josef_Strauss). When he was on a state visit to Moscow, he was asked by Gorbachov if this was his first time in Russia, to which he responded:
"No, but the first time I only got as far as Stalingrad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad)".

I just saw these. Seat belts everyone! It's time for a feels trip!

Everyone talks about how bad long distance sucks... how hard it is... and I've done it, I know it sucks... but at the same time... my one really serious LDR remains one of my favorite memories, even if it hurts a little now.

Moving on to the crushing of dreams.

"666 has become synonymous with evil"? Not in Chinese culture, where it is a auspicious number symbolising "everything going smoothly". It is common to see it painted on business premises, and people actually pay extra for phone numbers which include 666:

China is making more sense on this one, given that the number in the bible is 616.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: pwhodges on 12 Feb 2014, 03:08
Actually, it's unclear - even the very oldest manuscripts disagree, and already in the 2nd century the matter was being discussed.  The confusion arises from the fact that the number for Nero is 666 if his Greek name is written into Hebrew, and 616 if his Latin name is written into Hebrew.  It's been suggested that 666 was chosen by analogy with the number 888 for Jesus (also from his Greek name), and most, though not all, later manuscripts have this number.

No reason except that someone decided to do it that way.

When writing currency amounts the location of the symbol varies by currency. Many currencies, especially in Latin America and the English-speaking world, place it before the amount (e.g., R$50,00); many others place it after the amount (e.g., 50.00 SFr); and the Cape Verdean escudo, like the former Portuguese escudo and French franc, placed its symbol in the decimal position (i.e., 20$00).

Also interesting is that if I use non-unicode currency names I'd put it after the number instead of before, so I write 30 GBP or £30.

It's because there's so much stuff in the left-hand column.  By time your username, titles, Psyducks, avatar, and all that is rendered, it takes more vertical space than some of your posts, including the signature.  So most browsers (on what I'm guessing is "average" resolution -- whatever that is) have no choice but to add space under your sig before the next post.

For some statistics but not split by system type: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp

800x600 was in the lead from 2000 (as far back as that goes) until 2004, when 1024x768 took over.

1024x768 was in the lead from 2004 until 2011. In 2010, things started spreading out quite a lot, though, as 1280x800 laptops were popular, and 1280x1024 LCDs got cheaper. That trend continued into 2011, although 1366x768 started appearing.

2012 was the rise of 1366x768, and it started dominating in subsequent years (and taking market share away from larger framebuffer sizes, too, annoyingly).

It's the standard for not-bottom-of-the-line desktop stuff, but the cheapest bargain basement stuff is all 1366x768. And then, 1366x768 is extremely common on laptops.

Go to any random laptop manufacturer's website, configure a $500 laptop. Hell, let's look at what my employer has, and not even look at prices. (#iwork4dell for FTC compliance.)

Hell, the entire Latitude line, which is not Dell's entry-level line either (that's Inspiron), 1366x768 is standard. Upgrades aren't even available on the 3330, XT3, E6430 ATG, or E6420 XFR (granted, the latter two aren't exactly machines a consumer will buy).

Even the Precision line, there's a couple models (the M4700 and M4800) with 1366x768 base models.

To my employer's credit, the entire XPS line is unavailable with 1366x768.

Why do you say something is "20 dollars" and write it as $20?  We don't say it's dollar 20 :/

In all seriousness, I say "money" in my head when reading and come across a "$" sign.  So, reading "the new game costs $20" I say in my head "the new game costs money twenty."  It sometimes makes for slightly embarrassing moments if I need to read something aloud and I'm not paying attention or scanning ahead.

I know you have a Windows 8 laptop, so you just press start, type "screen resolution" and tap "change resolution" in the search results that pops up on your right. If it's a Win 8 and not 8.1, you're going to have to click on "settings" under the search pane first.

How do I find out the size and resolution of my laptop screen?
There are too many Americans in this forum, who believe their spelling is the correct one. Why can't we all standardize on the Queen's English?  :mrgreen:

Regarding how to find the resolution on your laptop: It depends on the OS (Mac/Windows/Linux/others), and on the OS version to some extent. On Windows 7, right-click on a blank spot on the desktop, and choose "Screen resolution". The current resolution (in pixels) is shown. It should match your laptop's hardware resolution, otherwise the text will be fuzzy. On a Mac, choose System Preferences - Display.

Regarding common resolutions in use today: On a laptop, you are pretty much stuck to the hardware resolution (often 1366 x 768 or 1600 x 900 on small laptops, bigger or more expensive laptops may have full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution).

On a desktop or external display, the most common resolution today is probably full HD (1920 x 1080), because this is what is most common in today's TV technology. In a few years, 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) will become common.

Higher resolution means you have room for more information. But it also means you need bigger screens, otherwise the displayed items will be too small. A full HD external monitor needs to be approx. 23" in size, whereas a 4K monitor probably should be 46" or even 55". That is, if you want to keep the current pixel size. So-called "retina displays" have smaller pixels, but then the software needs to scale up text and graphics, otherwise it would just be too small.

As for your laptop's screen size, two ways to do it.

The first is to measure it diagonally. (Or measure it horizontally and vertically, square both measurements, add them, and get the square root. Either way, it's the same result.)

The second is to Google for your laptop's model number.

The other thing is that 1366x768 is technically not a resolution, it's a framebuffer size (or pixel dimensions). 112 pixels per inch (the resolution of a 1366x768 14.0" display) is a resolution.

Depends on which war, and who you are talking to. If you are referring to the British, and WW2, technically the British and their allies won the war against the Axis powers. Admittedly, without help from the Americans, it would have been difficult.

Still, English as of today is a fragmented language. Americans cannot (or will not) understand British English. And British English has a lot of difficult dialects. Not to mention Scottish, Singlish, Australian, and other variants. Non-native English speakers in particular have a hard time relating to the different variants.

What is really needed, is an English variant of Académie française (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acad%C3%A9mie_fran%C3%A7aise), that could act as a global advisor for usage and spelling of the English language. It should probably be based on BBC English or Received Pronunciation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_pronounciation).

Although my laptop is technically Windows 8.1, my dad has done something to it so that it doesn't look like or act like a Windows 8 machine. Fortunately the instructions for Windows 7 seemed to work! I'm on 1024x768 apparently. I seem to have lost my tape measure in a mountain of crap on my table, so I can't measure it properly, but it's about a centimetre more than one A4 sheet when measured diagonally.

Can't we just acknowledge and accept that there are several different languages which are all called English, and that there are different correct spellings of words in those languages? When I teach EFL, I alert my student to places where he has used the American spelling and tell him what the British spelling is, but I don't tell him that it's wrong. He's Korean, there is no default "correct" English for him to use, I just want consistency really and it makes sense for him to use British since that's what I'm familiar with.

First, it's a really bad idea, as already mentioned - and infeasible in any case.  Secondly, usage and spelling are entirely separate from pronunciation, which is what BBC English and RP are about, so there is no sense in which it could be "based" on that.

Technically, we won the war of 1812.

Actually we fought the British to a draw where no side had any value in contuining the war, and the last battle of the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans was a serious loss for the British Army.

The real "losers" in that war was the British Allied Indian Confederation and the Creek in the American South East.

What I don't get is why people don't call 3840x2160 "2160p*". I mean, we use 720p and 1080p, why stop?

*assuming progressive scan, of course

Edit: Also if we had to find a "winner" of the War of 1812...wouldn't it be Canada?

Because everyone got confused with 1440p, so they decided to just go off the width, rather than the height.

And, technically, 1080p doesn't specify the width - 1440x1080 is just as valid as 1920x1080, for being called 1080p assuming progressive scan.

Interesting, every time I've seen #p, it's been 16:9, meaning 1440p is 2560x1440 and 2160p would be 3840x1920 (or ultra hd or whatever).

Because you lot lost the war.  :parrot:
Depends on which war, and who you are talking to. If you are referring to the British, and WW2, technically the British and their allies won the war against the Axis powers. Admittedly, without help from the Americans, it would have been difficult.


Technically, we won the war of 1812.

Not really a war we really won but the American forces were embarrassingly trounced in one of it's landmark battles by an old woman.  2014 does, of course, mark the 200th anniversary of the British sacking Washington, nicking the Presidents dinner and torching his house.

A practice some Americans might consider a solid one to take up yes?

Interestingly the 8th and I Marines Corps Barracks and the Commandant's House, still in operation as a Marine Corps posting to this day, were captured, but left completely untouched by British forces, tradition says that it was a nod of respect for Marine Corps conduct under fire at the Battle of Bladensburg.

"If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent? He was the first schoolmaster, the first advocate of learning, the first enemy of ignorance, the first to whisper in human ears the sacred word "liberty"...the creator of ambition, the author of modesty, of inquiry, of doubt, of investigation, of progress and of civilization. Give me the storm and tempest of thought and action, rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith! Banish me from Eden when you will; but first let me eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge!" - Robert G. Ingersoll, 1872

Should you find yourself in Ye Merrie Olde England and feeling a little homesick, I can strongly recommend that you seek the company of the youth of Birkenhead.

In fact these youths bear many similarities to members of the USMC. They are most comfortable in uniform, have a frank and open relationship with death and killing, carry strong familial ties with each other and obey an extra-ordinary honour code. In fact if if I were to be pressed for one word which would afford easy distinction between the two groups, the most appropriate that I can come up with is "shiny".

In fact, witnessed the following 'correction'
"Don't fucking cuss in front of the goddam fucking female civilians! Act like a fucking professional, goddamit!"

Spoken with authority and  straight-faced sincerity from a VERY senior enlisted to a LCpl in my office: in front of said female civilian & totally without realization of the irony of statement.

Then there's REALLY senior SNCOs, where you get shit like this:
(http://terminallance.com/media/comics/2010-01-08-Strip_2_SNCO_Syndrome_web.jpg)

Quote from: Max, author of Terminal Lance's blog
I often-times find the many dialects of the Marine Corps to be interesting, or at least entertaining. It’s strange how once someone goes into bootcamp and gets shit out the other side, their entire vocabulary is increased (or decreased really) with a bunch of nonsensical grunts and half-phrases. Some of these people continue to talk like this for years, to a point where I feel it actually starts to deteriorate their vocabulary uncontrollably. I refer to this as “SNCO Syndrome,” keep in mind that not all Staff NCO’s suffer from this. Often times when people get to the fleet, their motivation becomes torn in half at the reality of it all and they start to regain their original thought processes again.
 
Some, however, retain this mode of thought and speech. This comic is actually inspired by a true story. I had a Master Guns who would literally say “Cleared Hot!” in place of most of this vocabulary. Sometimes it made sense, most of the time it didn’t. I know how it impacted the work environment, which is to say, not really at all. However, I can’t imagine that at home yelling “Cleared Hot!” at the most inappropriate times would end well. These things carry on all over the Corps though; my recruiter, a Staff Sergeant at the time, used to end every sentence and answer every question with “Good to Go.” As strange as it is, usually you knew what he meant. Other words permeate the barracks and chow halls of the Marine Corps, such as Hello, Roger, and the almost always inappropriate, Kill or it’s extended version: Kill Bodies. I think what bothers me the most about Kill as a response is that it’s never the people who’ve actually killed someone that use it.
 
Whatever the case, I think all Marines–SNCO’s and motivated junior enlisted need to expand their vocabularies. If you’re the kind of person that can answer a question with Semper Fi, you probably need to be on medication. Marine-Speak though, love it or hate it–to each his own–is universally understood by Marines alike, whether they use it or not.
 
With that said, welcome to comic #2! I plan on keeping Tuesday and Friday as my update days. I’m going to try and hold true to that as best I can. I’m still working on getting a forum up. As I mentioned in the news, as I work on the site things may come and go and do some crazy shit, so just bare with it. Eventually I’ll get everything settled to a point where I can leave it alone. The forum is coming, I’m trying to find one that’s suitable and easy for someone like me who knows nothing about PHP and HTML to use.
 
One last note, I’d like all you motivated warfighters to do me a favor. If you have a buddy (all Marines have “a buddy”) who happens to be stationed elsewhere such as Pendleton or Lejeune, please send them the site and let them have a look around. Lets make this shit Marine Corps wide!
 
Out.

Denny's is food only if you're drunk. If one of your party isn't passed the fuck out in the booth and intermittently waking up and eating with their hands (Me new years eve) you have made a poor restraunt choice and certainly had better options available.

    2 farthings = 1 halfpenny
    2 halfpence = 1 penny (1d)
    3 pence = 1 thruppence (3d)
    6 pence = 1 sixpence (a 'tanner') (6d)
    12 pence = 1 shilling (a bob) (1s)
    2 shillings = 1 florin ( a 'two bob bit') (2s)
    2 shillings and 6 pence = 1 half crown (2s 6d)

You missed:

4 pence = 1 groat (still used by the Queen for her Maundy money (http://www.royalmint.com/discover/uk-coins/maundy-money), which also includes 2 pence pieces)
21 shillings = 1 guinea (so 10/6 aka 10s 6d might be referred to as a "half-guinea"). 

The three pence coin was known to me as a "thruppenny bit", similarly the tanner was also a "sixpenny bit".  Also 20s = 1 pound (not "pount"); maybe that was just a typo, or confused with the Irish "punt".

Seems needlessly complex. Like the metric system.

For those who like observing the female half of the human species, and find the female form appealing, Sports Illustrated just validated (imho) 50 years of their magazine by doing a photo shoot with Kate Upton in Zero G.
http://swimsuit.si.com/swimsuit/models/kate-upton/zero-g-photos


For people who would rather just observe animals outside our own species, with no deference to if said critters are wearing a bikini or not, check out this collection of trail cam photos!
Trigger warning: Most of the photos are just action shots of critters going by or investigating the camera, but there are some "explicit" and of course because this is nature, violent/gory photos in this collection. If Mother Nature's good at anything it's sex and violence.

Why is "d" the abbreviation for penny/pence instead of "p"?

Latin denarius, the coin from which the penny developed.  Although the d was used as the abbreviation for the pre-decimalisation penny, the abbreviation for the current "new" penny in use since 1971 is p.

Note also that the £ sign is an elaborate L for libra - the latin for pound, abbreviated lb when used for weight.  The old currency used to be referred to as "LSD" for "pounds, shillings and pence".

Regarding this video, I don't care if A4 is more "logical", I will still cause bodily harm to the jackass who DOSed our department's printer by repeatedly telling it to print on A4 paper it doesn't have.

Why is your printer not set to scale documents to fit if they're not the exact paper type?  I have to deal with the same issue in the opposite direction, and the setup required is trivial.

I'm not the person who set up the printer, so I didn't know it was possible to do with that printer. It's an old HP printer (LaserJet 4100, according to the driver I have installed).

Should we switch over to metric?  Yeah, we probably should, since the rest of the world already has.  However, you just know there will be...certain groups...who will scream bloody murder about conspiracies of the Masons or the UN or the lizard people taking over the U.S.

Me personally, I can use either system easy enough, but it's easier for me to visualize Imperial measurements in my head.

Some top comments that I love the responses for:

Quote
1. She's pretty much right about the messages of the movie, although it doesn't have to apply only to gay rights... It applies to anyone who doesn't fit the mold of what their families or society expects of them.

That said, I think the message of the movie is great. In fact, while reading her point-to-point explanation of each of the movie's "gay" concepts I kept wondering why she had to think that these things she was bringing up were so negative. A lot of those paragraphs could have been read as a positive reason to support gay rights. I think if she knew any actual gay people... If she were forced to get to know them and understand why they are the way they are and whether they really are immoral or depraved, she would be forced to conclude that those messages from the movie really are good and important for society to hear.
It's so easy to act like gay people aren't actually people, as if they aren't even real, when the gay people you imagine in your mind are as cartoonish as the bloodthirsty Lamanites in the living scriptures videos. Once you realize that they are real people trying to live good happy lives, instead of trying to push their liberal agenda on all the "normal" people, it's a whole different story.


2. Can someone write one of these for The Lion King? All scar was doing was overthrowing a fascist dictator who refused to feed the hyenas, instead letting them starve. Something something.
Do The Little Mermaid next. It's clearly liberal propaganda.: defy tradition, do thee things that 'feel' good. Follow the sinful land people, even if it puts the whole kingdom at risk.
Pretty sure Tangled is all about a mom trying to keep her daughter a pure virgin, only for an evil greedy man to steal it away, even though doing so removes her sacred powers and almost kills her.
I could do this all day. When your primary agenda is to reject change under the assumption that the old ways (tradition) are already perfect and ideal, everything is your enemy. Fighting progress, literally intentionally stunting growth.

Quote
I've heard people take the approach that Elsa has a mental illness such as depression or anxiety. You can put any twist you want on it. Many people struggle with a lot of different things. Some socially accepted, some not. I feel Frozen encourages people to be themselves, to not give up on family, to be conscious of the motives of others, to set aside time for those we love, and many other lessons.. and I don't even LIKE the movie. So while I feel your opinion on the motive behind the movie is quite the stretch, at least you are pondering what YOU gained from it.

Quote

I think my family saw a totally different version of "Frozen" than you did.
But people see what they want to see.....

I, for one, was happy to see a lead female Disney character get saved by the love and sacrifice of her sister instead of being rescued by the handsome prince. I was happy to hear common sense in Elsa's "you can't marry someone you just met". I was thrilled to see stronger female characters.

Being hidden away isn't a new idea. Wasn't Sleeping Beauty hidden away with her fairy godmothers so that she wouldn't be found? Are you going to find issue with a young woman being guarded by three fairies, too?

And please. The story is an adaptation from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen", which they had to take liberties with, as parts of the viewing public would obviously take issue with Gerda saying the Lord's Prayer to stop the snowflakes protecting the palace so that she could enter.

*sigh* Call it what you will. We aren't going to read anything into the story more than what is there. I think my kids are safe.


My one comment: If you have a problem with anti-obediance messages or themes that encourage people to think and live for themselves, you need to take a minute and look yourself in the mirrior I think.

what happens if u put a werewolf on the moon is a great question probably the best question ever asked
Greetings, Aperture employees, Cave Johnson here with some good news, and some bad news. Good news is, our experiments with portaling a werewolf onto the lunar surface produced very clear, and very immediate results! Go team!

Bad news is, those results were that the poor guy died of hypothermia and asphyxia within seconds, same as all the other test subjects we sent up there. Apparently lycanthropy does not grant one an immunity to zero-atmosphere environments as I had suspected. My assistant, Greg, tells me that I was actually thinking of vampires there, and not werewolves, so…that one’s on me.

However, this brings me to some more good news: Any test subjects who had been quarantined in Test Chamber 32A due to sudden cases of vampirism, you’re in luck, because we’ve got a new test ready just for you! Just hustle on over towards the lone portal surface on the east wall there while we move the airtight paneling into place to begin the test.

Anyway, that’s that…now get back to work, everyone! Except for you, over there by the coffee machine. Break room rules clearly state a 15-minute max, and you’ve been in there for 20. You know the drill. Box, stuff, door, parking lot, adios, you’re fired.

Cave Johnson, we’re done here.

Kind of, but not quite. The wights are the asoiaf zombies, while the Others or White Walkers are... something more.

The distinction is less clear in the series, but I'm pretty sure they've kept it around. They ditched the "Others" name because it's hard to distinguish between "the Others" and just "others" when you don't have capitalization.

I saw some of the greatest last names ever in the military... Early (I can only imagine the crap he got from TIs), Slaughter, Hale (pronounced 'Hell'), Word, Tuning, and any number of other words you would never imagine could be a surname.

Plus there's also the Chinook and Osprey (although does that count as a helo?) designs. But, yes, my first thought was the Kamov coaxials.

Is.. is.. that a swastika?
Yes, tail-rotor-less designs have been around since the beginning of helicopters. The "egg-beater" style of the Fletner probably reached its most developed form in the designs of Kaman, an American company. I don't know why, but the concept has always appealed to me, though the video illustrates one of its drawbacks; it is unsafe to approach or exit from the aircraft's sides while the rotors are turning..

Escher Girls refers to the art of MC Escher, which is all about controtion and perspective. In this case refers to those odd poses you see, particularly in animation or art featuring women showing off T&A at the same time (somehow), with the follow up of those women themselves being contorted or non-proportional to an extreme extent.

Now then. This.

Did I just watch a video about a satellite, or a video about a JAXA engineer and a NASA engineer getting it on at the JAXA engineer's sister's(?) wedding?
You certainly watched one that stereotypes women as unable to concentrate on their jobs, because getting married is the only thing that matters. Would a similar anime with a cast of male engineers feature a wedding at all? :roll:

On Australia: I have poisonous snakes and spiders in my garden. I'm OK with that; I'm still probably more likely to be killed by a member of my own species.

I didn't see where either of the two women were unable to concentrate on their jobs. Wasn't the JAXA engineer so busy working on the satellite data that she had to rush to reach the wedding in time? There seem to be fragments of three stories in there and none of them really make their point clear.

Edit: It would make more sense if they were trying to control the weather or something, but the satellite is just an observatory one, so why the JAXA engineer was working into the night is a mystery...

From a comment on HUVr's facebook page:

(https://scontent-a-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1794602_10152283867571282_104237743_n.jpg)

(It's fake, I'm certain of it.)

In any case, in that video, it didn't seem like they were distracted from their job, although someone I linked it to suggested that the engineers may have been meant as representing JAXA and NASA (googling, it seems that they're fictional) rather than individual engineers, and showing their tsundere relationship.

And then, selecting the genders... male/female would create a power dynamic that they really wouldn't want, female/female would treat female engineers as something to be accepted as normal and not have that toxic power dynamic. (And, yes, I suspect they considered the target audience, that they assumed wouldn't be into a male/male relationship.)

The circle on the left illustrates a man with a camera typical to the time-period

Black Knight Satellite mystery
(http://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/so51a913f5.jpg)
Legend has it that in orbit around the Earth is a mysterious, dark object which dates back perhaps 13 000 years. Its origin and purpose are inscrutable, dubbed the “Black Knight” this elusive satellite has allegedly been beaming signals towards the Earth and inspected by NASA astronauts yet only a few on Earth officially know of its existence. The origin of the ominous name is part of the enigma; it is impossible to discover who first called it this or indeed why. Humans have only in the last 60 years had the technology to launch a man-made object into space.

Judging from the general shape, small circular button at the top corner, and the edge of the lens housing below, it looks like a member of the Box Brownie (http://img1.iwascoding.com/4/2014/02/06/5B/CE9872725DE843EC8BB23A7C8A4AECB0.jpg) family to me.

I must have misread, I thought he was referring to things not explicitly protected by the constitution, which religion is. Otherwise it is indeed very confusing although as we all know you can always tell a muslim from a christian by the beard, sikhs have turbans, hindus have marks on their foreheads and atheists are extremely crotchety.

What makes the list worse is that neither of the first two on the "positive expressions" for women are specific to being sexually active, while most of the male ones and all of the negative female expressions are.

Interesting, although I didn't know "vixen" and "sexpot" were pejoratives. I just thought they were old-timey, but complimentary.

I've never head the term 'sexpot,' but I feel like vixen could be used either way depending on context. Same with "player" in the male category (which from what I've heard is more often used negatively). I'm pretty sure I've never seen or heard the term wench used outside of medieval fiction, either.

Additional note, I've only ever heard "vamp" used in the song Hard-Hearted Hannah. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r_l_-2bI18), so I didn't realize it had that particular meaning.

Sexpot is not negative in my mind; however, bounder definitely is (and not especially sexual in any case), not to mention player and others.  Also, it's a matter of perception; various of the male terms marked positive are clearly negative in my mind, because I have rejected that style of sexual interaction.  Plus, there are some inconsistencies - e.g. the Wikipedia articles on both Casanova and Don Juan start by using the term "womaniser" for them, which this list has as negative.
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: Thrillho on 10 Mar 2014, 03:51
I agree. The male list is like a huge, throbbing, grey area. Everyone I know and respect considers 'player' to be a negative, but I also know of groups of guys (and cultures, even) that consider 'player' a positive.

None of them are. The acronym of MILF already makes incredibly clear that it's not referring to the woman's wishes or behaviour, other than being a mother.

I dunno about Minx and Vixen either but I don't hear them as negative terms at all, and when I use them myself they're positive. Also if you must call someone promiscous in the negative sense, absolutely must do it, calling them a strumpet's the way to go XD

I used to have more of the triangle shape, but as I focused more on core and strength training I shifted. I also started fighting bears regularly so that probably helped.

What? No! Many comics decide to take the angle of how creepy it is to pair any Pokemon at will with Ditto, but this is actually a really positive take: "Look at how awesome having a Ditto dad is!"

And yeah, mom's dead, but that's just the viral internet comics law that any feel-good story has to have a heartbreaking twist to it.

I swear I didn't even catch on until the very end.

This is the only known instance of a person getting bitten by an unborn animal. Sand tiger sharks are well known for the hostile environment during development. Shark courting can involve a lot of vicious biting, so the female doesn’t resist too much when a male is looking for a mate. Instead, the real evolutionary battle of who has the best genes to be passed on happens during development.

The mother shark has up to 12 different pups in a litter, with the possibility of multiple fathers. However, she will only give birth to one. During development, the shark pups cannibalize their brothers and sisters until only the strongest one is left. The fathers whose babies were eaten not only miss out on getting to pass along their genes, but they also provided food for the offspring of the competition as well!

He's also, if memory serves, big on anti-bullying.

And there have been several high-profile cases of kids being bullied into suicide because of their Brony-ness. (I have no idea if that's how you'd spell it, but you get the drift.)

Glenn Beck's a famous American political commentator, mild conspiracy theorist, tea partier, dog of the American right and general asshole.

I have no idea why the pictuars are small.

Edit cause LTK posted super fast.

Huh. Cool. I have never before thought I'd be giving Glenn Beck a thumbs up.

Quote


“We’re not aficionados on My Little Pony. But I am an aficionado on what it takes to be a man in today’s world. And just because you like little ponies means nothing. You having the courage to be who you are and stand up no matter what society says, that is worth its weight in gold,” Glenn concluded. “Send us your snapshots or whatever else you might have and we’ll post them. And Grayson, if you and your mom ever want to come down to Dallas, you let me know. You can bring your My Little Pony lunch bag, and I might bring My Little Pony lunch bag. And we can have lunch.”

Grayson is Grayson Bruce, a nine-year-old kid who was not only bullied for his MLP lunchbox, but the school administrators blamed him for bringing it to school, suggesting it was like holding up a target for bullying.

He's actually somewhat stood up for LGBT people in recent years as well. So he's not all horrible. He's still a waaay out there right wing conspiracy instigator. But at least he's not a souless and heartless one.

Post by: Neko_Ali on 18 Mar 2014, 10:51
In all fairness, having listened to several of his rants from his show, I get the feeling he is doing the wacko conspiracy stuff because that's what he's paid to do. He stretches for some really weak connections to point out supposed big conspiracy theories, but is very careful to not use language that could be defined as slander or libel, and pretty good about avoiding 'big corporation money' as a target, which is a very popular bad guy to theorists. Unless those big money people are in direct competition to his own corporate owners at Fox. Mostly, his rants seem to me to be much more precisely scripted work of an actor than the ranting of a conspiracy theorist off his chain.

Quote from: thegreenwolf
People often think of fire as a destructive force, and it can be. But fire also rejuvenates the land. Many grasses have evolved root systems that survive fires so they can be renewed, and some trees and other plants have seeds that only germinate after a fire has come through. Plus fires clean out old dead wood and other debris, making it easier for fresh plant life to grow.

What you probably didn't know is that Golden Boy is the first anime I ever watched, and is thus the show that got me into it.  However, I don't actually rate it very high - too ecchi for me, bordering on hentai in places.  You will note, however, that several of my avatar images are from it.

Post by: GarandMarine on 20 Mar 2014, 03:54
I have noted that actually, and yeah there is a strong ecchi run to it, I still recommend it.

Oh man, I wish I could find the photo I took a few years ago. There is a church across from my friend's old apartment building. One day, their sign said "Walmarts ain't the only savin' place".

From the "probably urban legend but still 'true'" files.
Quote
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. There are teachers, and then there are educators...

Then there's this combat footage from Syria, I'm not 100% sure what happened, but I'm pretty sure the crazy bastard in the first video just demonstrated the fine art of killing a fucking tank on foot.

I had to watch it on youtube, that website wasn't loading. From the title of the video.. I was disappointed that there was no Unreal Tournament announcer going "Ultra Kill!" when the tank blew up :(

It's Allahu Ackbar, and yes it's 100% serious. It's roughly "God is Great" the other common one is "Insh'Allah" which is "God's Will" you usually hear a mix of the two before the attack because they're supplicating Allah for aid in whatever they're up to, then it's pretty much all the former afterwards assuming the attack was successful.

Shortly before my college graduation, the department chair took all the senior physics students out to a bar. That evening, the bar had a karaoke thing going on. So a couple of us sang "Bohemian Rhapsody". At one point in the song it repeats "Bismillah". The department chair happens to be Egyptian, and pointed out the meaning of "Bismillah" ("in the name of the Lord") to us.

thats like asking someone to wash the dishes and their reply is "Winter is Coming."  Plus back when all this was pertinent we wouldn't be the ones washing the dishes anyways, the help would.  Considering my family history it would be more like "I hope the peasants have a good crop this year."  "God will perform it." or "I hope the rain lets up so we can use our horses don't get trapped in the mud" "God will do it it."

Insha'Allah is closer to "(if) God is willing". Friends that's lived in Egypt told me that they used it almost as punctuation - if you hired a plumber or whatever, they'd tell you "I'll be there tomorrow at noon - if God wills". Your friends would tell you "I'll be over at 8, God willing". There's an idea in Islam that God has decided everything that will happen, and the Insha'Allahing is a way of recognizing that - or for the layman, recognizing that you cannot be sure of everything, that there's always a possibility that circumstances outside of your control is going to interfere with your plans.

Also, referring to God as "Allah" is kinda... not correct, as it's just Arab for "God". It's a kind of arbitrary differentiation that Christians started doing to underline the difference between their God and the Muslim God. That difference is bogus - the God in question is Abraham's God, no matter what language is spoken.

(What are these points?)
Title: Re: Umm, what??? That's pointless...
Post by: GarandMarine on 25 Mar 2014, 04:02
Well it's a differentiation the locals seem to prefer too so I'm just rolling with what I was briefed, and also making a point about Arabic language so referring to god as allah in this case is 100% correct. I'm well aware they worship the god of Abraham, but differentiation between the three Judeic belief systems exist so if using the native term for god allows you to specify which edition you're talking about when discussing the concept of a higher power, then it makes perfect sense to use. The goal of language is to effectively communicate whatever the hell you're talking about in as few words as possible. From my understanding in the native tongue, MY gods would not be referred to by the term Allah or any of it's related terms, suggesting the word itself is restricted to I Am Who Is linguistically as well. 

I took some Arabic linguistics so I'm familiar with the "casual" use of Insh'Allah in some Arabic speaking nations, the translations we both provided work out either way in English as at least here in the U.S. you see christians in particular do the same pattern of "leaving it over" or "surrendering" to god on whatever you're talking about. So yes slightly more accurate, but a hill of beans in the end.

Hmm. I think that's awesome - but I also know that in certain situations, it'd make me want to curl up under my seat with earplugs in until they shut the heck up. Is it just the fact that I'm feeling fragile at the moment that makes me think that is kind of rude, considering all the other passengers can't leave?

I think over here they find women dont use there pockets that much because they have their purse and so some brands will have fake pockets in the front.  Though I so usually see the back pockets to be functional.  Not sure if it saves money on production of jeans and jean shorts.

In scientific papers from groups in Germany, they often credit Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (which translates to English as "German Research Foundation") for their funding. One of my former labmates (he's since graduated) used to pronounce the second word "Foreskin on mein shaft" and now that's how I read it every time I see that word.  :psyduck:

That's just how English happened to end up, "Science" is not the norm among Germanic-speaking countries. It's Naturvetenskap here too. Nature Knowing, basically. The Natural Sciences. Though for a general term like Science we usually just say Vetenskap. Scientia just means knowledge in Latin, as well.

Yeah, I'll admit once or twice I've been tempted to learn a germanic language.  I have studied French and Spanish, so I can identify romance roots pretty easily.  But a decent chunk of english words aren't romance in origin, so I've always been curious about that side.

So are Danish, Swedish and Norwegian germanic?  If so, I learned something today.

---
To return to pointlessness, there was a commercial (can't find video at the moment) for a major fast food chain that ran here in Canada, that I suspect did not run anywhere else.  Two bros have a contest in the restaurant, and the winner proclaims "Je suis le champignon!"*

*despite appearances, this is NOT "I am the champion".  It is "I am the mushroom".

Yes. Scandinavian languages*, German languages and Dutch languages are all Germanic. Also English, although off all of the languages, it has the most Roman influence. Yiddish is apparently also a Germanic language, I did not know that.


*including Icelandic and Fareo... Faero... whatever they speak on the Faroe Islands.

It depends on the Amish Community really.  Some or more strict than others and will not allow it.  Others are a bit more lax and all those participating may have given consent or were okay with it.

Seriously though, Huntsman spiders are completely harmless. To humans, anyway. Plus, they eat mosquitoes and various other evil insects, don't leave huge webs. We get rather large ones in our house / sheds / garden / everywhere. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

An advanced form of ahimsa might be the realization that being stuck indoors limited the spider's food supply and exposed it to risk of accidental injury.

I always relocate insects and spiders from my flat because I'm worried they might die inside - either through lack of food or through unintentional squashing. But sometimes I wonder whether I'm dooming them to die of hypothermia.

We coexist peacefully with ladybugs and I'll relocate stink bugs in fear of accidentally unleashing their stench, but any other weird beetle-y things get stomped.


I've started to squish the freaky billion-legged bugs on my own. Of course, all the while there is screaming and flailing and I get the squicked out heebie jeebies even after they are long flushed...

ugh, when I lived in Mississippi, in the springtime there was a huge issue with ladybugs. I never minded them before, I kinda liked them a few at a time. But there were dozens of them who would invade our house, hanging around on the ceiling near our door and dining table. It was like a moving carpet of them on the ceiling... Apparently it was a yearly thing there.

I've put it up somewhere before I think.. but doing it again because it's a pretty interesting puzzle during slow times :)

So far, my highest is 7132

I can always seem to get about a 5k+ game just by using down and right with an up every once in awhile.

You can get away with a left early on.. but if it makes you do that later, your turns are numbered...

It makes this really neat number pyramid with with lower numbers on the outside and higher numbers as it gets closer to the bottom right :)

The highest block I can get regularly is 512.. it usually craps out a little while after that.

So it turns out a girl who went to my old highschool made a music video! Now, more than half of the students at my highschool were music students, but I've only seen videos by a few, and it's always kinda cool to see people who've stuck with the music thing instead of becoming doctors, lawyers, swindlers etc. I had absolutely no connection whatsoever with this girl other than thinking almost every school day for three years that she was just the prettiest girl ever. She looks pretty different now, but seeing the videos really took me back and I've spent the past hour digging up music by other musicians from my highschool :)

So, for your viewing pleasure:

The Male Counter Point:

A real woman is a man's best friend.

She will Never stand him up and never let him down.

She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.

She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret.

She will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires.

She will make sure he always feels as though he's the most handsome man in the room and that he is the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible...

No wait... Sorry... I'm thinking of whiskey. It's whiskey that does all that shit.

Cooptional podcast (particularly TotalBiscuit) reported that 2048 is a ripoff of 1024 which is a ripoff of threes.  Plus he tried to demonstrate you could do well at 2048 just by swiping the same way over and over, whereas threes put some thought into that and tried to make it more varied/challenging.

Watch to the end.  It's called the Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector and was a weapon designed and used in WWI.  It was installed in a cavern below ground and the Projector Head was designed to telescope up and sent a wall of fire towards the German Trenches.  It is believed to have been used on the first day of the Battle of The Somme.

I started eating my apples whole at my first year of university... During classes I sat right in the middle so it was a huge pain in the ass to get up and disturb the lesson for my classmates just to throw out the core. So I ended up eating the whole thing... And noticed that nothing really changed. :P

Really? I'll have to try that someday. But it was annoying that I tried throwing a core behind her and then somehow got given the core back instead of a new apple. Also does anything actually happen when you eat a certain number of apples?

Not like I can talk too much trash, one of my gods turned into a mare and got knocked up by a magical super stallion. Then gave the resulting foal to his brother to use as a war mount. That's WAY weirder than just rising from the dead or becoming a Lich.

Claw hammer. The front bit is used to hammer in nails. The back bit is used to take out nails. It's a claw with which you can grip a nail that sticks out. Now, if you use the clawed bit against an object you're guaranteed to do a lot of damage. And the intrepid young man in this picture is about to demonstrate just that: how to destroy a CCTV cam with the back of a hammer.

I'm sure the 'after' picture was hilarious too.

Screen Leia: Yeah, yeah, I can read Wookieepedia too. Look, I’m representing the movies here, I don’t hold with any of that Expanded Universe continuity. Maybe it’s like that cave on Dagobah where Luke had to fight Vader, but it wasn’t really Vader, because then his mask fell off and it was Luke’s face … you see where I’m going with this. It could be one of those Jedi worthiness tests.

Book Leia: Well, if we are to be tested, I am ready.

Book Leia adopts a combat stance and boots up her lightsaber, a blue one, with the usual awesome sound effect. Screen Leia squares off as well, but then she stops.

Screen Leia: Oh my God, we get a lightsaber?

Book Leia: Pretty sweet, huh? Built it myself.

Screen Leia: Whoa. Hang on. Time out. I mean, I get some sweet blaster action in the movies, but I never get anywhere near my own lightsaber.

Book Leia: I know. Look, don’t tell anybody, because you’re not really supposed to know yet—or at any rate not till the way end of Return of the Jedi—but we actually have bigtime Force powers. Major league. I’m totally a Jedi Knight. Oh, also: don’t snog Luke, he’s your brother.

Screen Leia struggles to take all this in.

Screen Leia: OK. OK. Feeling just a little cheated here.

Its a site that lists random facts overtop pictures of female models. You can see the name of said sight in the lower right hand corner of the picture.  The images and the facts are usually not related.  In this case they sort of related because there is a superman "S" on her top.

That might be the worst tattoo I've seen that isn't a portrait of someone.

Side note, when someone asks you what would Jesus do, I think you should remind them that flipping tables and fucking up bitches with a whip is not out of the question. Jesus be pretty hardcore dawg.

Rough translation of the story:

Quote
The Angels are invading. Breaking a long silence, the mysterious life-forms known as the Angels suddenly appear. The weapons the UN forces gather together in retaliation can't even scratch them. In the end, they turn to the secret agency, NERV, to manage the anti-Angel strategy.

With Neo-Tokyo 3 in their sights, the Angels slowly advance upon the city...but suddenly a spaceship comes hurtling down from the sky above the Angels: Sky Lynx! Out of the ship emerges warriors of the far-off planet Cybertron. They've come to investigate after noticing an unusual energy reading.

"We can't let a disaster like the Second Impact occur on this planet."
"What?! What are these monsters?!"

The shocked Cybertron Convoy sets its sights on an enemy much bigger than themselves.

Meanwhile the People's Navy finally found a copy of Top Gun and took all the wrong lessons from it.

Via Time (http://time.com/71843/our-carrier-video-is-way-cooler-than-yours/), just stick with the video.  It gets...amazing.

Things that should not exist in naval aviation videos:

1. Swords
2. Earnest gentlemen in white singing on the flight deck.
3. Workout routines.
4. Obvious CGI.
5. Skijump carriers. 


Number five is just embaressing any way. Nice try PLN. Come back with a real carrier and a fight that isn't a Sukhoi with fresh still outdated avionics.
