Also if the math joke doesn't work, too bad. I'm not very smart. And if it does work, I am SUPR SMRT.

It's absolutely brilliant is what it is. Our uni's film club hosts a screening of it every year, right in the middle of Jesus Week.

Yeah that did occur to me also, but that's not the point is it? It'd be like showing Dogma. It's deliberately trying to piss people off.

I think Dogma would be mean. But Life of Brian? I just don't see the offensiveness.

In what sense is not a bad thing to deliberately piss people off for no reason?

Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: Method of Madness on 29 Apr 2014, 03:49
I'd say it's more deliberately trying to make people laugh. If people get pissed off at showing a Jesus related comedy during Jesus week, I'm not sure how to help them.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: Thrillho on 29 Apr 2014, 03:52
That isn't the point though.

It's the same issue I have with Dogma as a movie. It's not that the movie is offensive - because I don't think it is - it's because it's trying to be offensive, which is pathetic and just targeting people who don't deserve to be targeted.

Life Of Brian the movie doesn't do that, no - and deliberately so. That's part of why it's brilliant and part of why the backlash is stupid.

But I'd be surprised if this uni film club is aware of that.

Even if they are, they're deliberately playing that film during that week because they know it would irritate people. I doubt it's a coincidence.

Hey, sorry was going to post this reply about an hour ago when I realised I had a radio show to be on very shortly..


So yeah, It'd be a dick move if Jesus Week was a positive event. It's not.

It's run by the Evangelical Students club, who are backed by one of those crazy rich megachurch/business/pyramidscheme churches (Influencers and Hillsong here in Australia, to be precise).
Their club gives them all identical sweaters to wear, and they go around trying to 'lure' people into their club with promise of free cake and other foods, but then they ask you all of these twisting questions to try and get you to admit that you believe in god. The worst thing is they deliberately target new international students, as it's likely they don't have many new friends and they play on those insecurities and anxieties and be like "Trust US. Trust GOD, We'll Help You. God Helps You". It's kinda cult-like, which makes me sick.

The event used to be a lot more inclusive though, and traditionally, we always had a formal debate between their club and ours on the first day (where they always set the question and it's always something wanky like "Is God Love, Yes or No?"). These days though it's just ridiculous. I'm fine for religious events to happen on campus, but the fact that this club gets a whole week is just not right.


So what we try and do is provide a bit of comic relief in the middle of a week which is usually very annoying for a lot of students. I think this year we might try and get a game of Brian Tag happening as well (where we designate someone as the "Brian" and the rest of us chase them through campus with gourds and sandals)

We're just trying to have a bit of fun, really  :-)

I admittedly jumped to conclusions here because the atheist societies I've seen have pulled shit like what I was describing pretty often, and basically given atheists a bad names.

I'm sure most of you are aware that in some species of spider the female will devour the male after copulation. But did you know that some males not only do not fight against this cannibalization, they actively promote and facilitate it? The male Redback Spider performs a somersault after mating and literally jumps into the females mouth. But why? What possible evolutionary benefit could there be from enabling your mating partner to eat you?

Researchers discovered that the environment of these spiders was so hostile that it was highly unlikely that a male would be able to find another mating partner. Therefore it would be better for it to focus on ensuring that the female did not mate again. Mate guarding is a poor tactic for these spiders as the females are so much larger.

The researchers also found that if a female devoured her first mating partner she was much less likely to accept a second male. If she did not eat her first partner she would usually accept to solicitations of the next male that came along.

These two factors (hostile environment and female choice when full) means that promoting their own devouring actually confers an evolutionary advantage on these male spiders.

Maybe, certainly some kind of ineffectual predator though. It's sweet how concerned she was though isn't it?

Here's a far cuter seal coming and saying hi to some hunters.


Seems seals are just super friendly in general. I wouldn't try it with Leopard Seals or grown adults... but the pups just wanna come say hi.



Here's some cool POV blue whale footage including some underwater work. It's amazing how... big they are.


Here's that same guy's own encounter with a seal pup X3

Two facts:
1. Nudity is, or should be normal.
2. Reading IS sexy. Whether you read nude or in a floor length coat.

and a reminder:
Quote
"We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them. Don’t let them explore you until they’ve explored the secret universes of books. Don’t let them connect with you until they’ve walked between the lines on the pages."
                                                -John Waters

I know we have a what are you reading thread, but I'm curious, how many of you have libraries? How many of you own hard copy books, if you do how many do you own? Show us a photo of your books?

I own books. For me this whole e-reader thing is newfangled madness. Right up to the moment they invent an e-reader that can hold thousands of books and allows me to scan the bar codes of the books I already own for a free download of that book.

Several hundred books, I guess? 300? 400? 500? Not entirely sure. I guess me and the girl together might touch a thousand.

pffft. Everyone knows that bottle caps are the preferred currency of 9 out of 10 post-apocalyptic societies.

I really like my tablet/e-reader. It is very convenient to have dozens to hundreds of books at hand at any given moment. Especially as a gamer, it's nice to be able to carry my library with me when I don't know which game I may be playing any given day, instead of carrying around a second crate of books. But I'll never give up real paper books either. There is a primal joy and sensation of holding a real book in your hands that an e-reader just doesn't satisfy. And you don't have to recharge your books...

We have several hundred books, ranging from "ancient" textbooks (meaning ones I used in my undergraduate days) to recent best sellers.  I also have several hundred CDs of music (all ripped to my computer), and a couple of hundred DVDs. 

Neither my wife or I use any sort of e-reader. 

I think that this means I am some sort of Luddite hoarder.

serious answer: All of the middle parts of the pyramid applied to the dog.  For the Com class we had to do community service and relate it to the class.  Me and two friends in the class went to the humane society.  They just rescued this little dog (looked like a shit zu or a similar looking dog) and it needed to get cleaned up and shaved (there was matted hair all over the poor little thing).  It was very cautious about us but as we started talking to it, petting it, shaving it, washing it, and playing with it it started to change behavior after about 30 minutes with it.  It's tongue was came out, smiled, little tail wagging like crazy and was hoping around us playing.  It felt comfortable with us because we were giving it security, socializing with it, and all this was improving its confidence with us (humans).  Not to mention getting a decent  meal.

Only if you ignore the origin, usage and entire historical context (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathen#Heathen) of the word's use.

and the modern usage and movement to make the term specific to worshippers of the traditional Germanic/Scandinavian religion.

Football Player Flaunts Sexual Orientation On Live Television.

AJ McCarron didn’t seem to care that television cameras were on him when he decided to flaunt his heterosexual relationship with Katherine Webb.

“All of a sudden they were making out,” said ESPN viewer Roger Jellyton. “I couldn’t believe my eyes, and my children were in the room. How was I supposed to explain what they were seeing? What, that it’s OK for two people who love each other to kiss in a moment of joy and celebration? Ugh. What is this nation coming to? Enough is enough.”

Gnocchi, you heathens.

Valdis and I are the only heathens on the forum and we didn't say anything about whatever that is.

I wouldn't be so sure about you being the only heathens on this forum. Just because I don't talk about my beliefs much doesn't mean I don't have them. I remember having some great discussions with Valdís about it not long after I joined.

True story: I won a full scholarship to the college I ended up going to, and they called my parents to notify them about it. The college submitted a news story about it to the local newspaper (and my high school also called in a local TV station). Since it was a Catholic college, most of the scholarship winners they get are Catholic. So they asked my dad which parish we were with. My dad answered, "Oh, we're heathens." I would have liked to see the face of the person on the phone.  :-D They later noted I was apparently the first non-Catholic who had won that scholarship.

The specification can imply that there are other kinds. Y'know, like the normal everyday lady variety, not just the outrageous male ones.

Obviously they aren't actually considering that in such a situation, though. :-P

Neko found this one, so credit where it's due.

Whoever did the layout for that needs to be taught the basic principles of contrast and typography. That looks like it came out of the same school as 1995 html design.

Aren't "cat-babies" just kitties? Also, are "kittens" and "kitties" the same thing? Or can "kitty" refer to a cat of any age and still be correct?

I know cat-babies are kittens, but I thought it sounded funnier. YMMV.

I always thought that 'kitty' could refer to any cat. It's certainly how I use it.

I mean, I use "puppy" to refer to any playful dog, regardless of age, I figured "kitty" was the catquivalent (yes, I did) of "puppy". Where it technically meant "baby cat" but was used when talking to any cat.

I've seen parasite infested ants too, they basically just become zombies and walk in a really weird way, so maybe the person knew the mantis had a parasite in it? At which point it's safe to assume the mantis is almost dead already.

Meh... It's a car. It's like declaring Depends to be the sexiest adult diapers made by humans.
That thing is ugly, clumsy-looking, and has too many wheels to be sexy. This is sexy:

OK, as long as we're talking about cars: On my way back to Michigan from visiting my daughter in NY, I was passed by a sports car, make and model unknown, with what appeared to be external disc brakes: The discs were outboard from the wheels, the bright yellow calipers almost looked like they were suspended from the fenders although that makes no sense. I tried to find some reference to it on line with no success. I don't know if they were functional or .... decorative? Anyone heard of this?

I honestly can't figure out what expletive you're using, and none of them make sense if you're praising it. That being said, I love my Prius and how quiet it is. It uses some gas, yeah, but not as much as most cars :roll:

Quote
Starting at 10:30 this morning, members of 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (1 PPCLI), on behalf of the Regiment, will exercise their right to the Freedom of the City of Edmonton. They will march downtown with ceremonial Colours flying and bayonets fixed. Edmonton Police Service Pipes & Drums will march and perform. Lieutenant-Colonel Nick Grimshaw, Commanding Officer of the Battalion, will lead the parade that will be overseen by Mayor Don Iveson at City Hall.

Freedom of the City is the highest honour a municipality can grant a military unit and is said to originate from Roman times. In a few hours from now, it will be an entirely ceremonial honour bestowed upon 1 PPCLI, which has historic connections to the Edmonton and surrounding communities.

What's really striking to me about those photos isn't the men or the trenches, but the devastation around them... and yet if you look at the same terrain today... you can't even see it. Belleau Wood renamed "Bois de la Brigade de Marine" ("Wood of the Marine Brigade") after the action that cemented it in my own tribe's legends... the fighting was brutal, incredibly destructive, looking at photos of the Argonne there's barely any sign of the forest left now the Argonne is lush, verdant and growing again...

I found them here (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2058917/Remembrance-Day-2011-Haunting-pictures-Great-Wars-battlefields.html). Rough locations are given, but not coordinates.

That's the style of Jason, a Norwegian comic artist currently living in France. He's absolutely brilliant, and one of the few big Norwegian cartoonists that doesn't do comedy strips. You can see the covers of his stuff here (http://www.fantagraphics.com/browse-shop/jason-2.html?vmcchk=1). If you ever see Hey, Wait... or The Iron Wagon in a comic store, I'd recommend picking them up. Anything else is probably also worth it.

It could also be a guideline for fictional humans. Regardless, you still need 1. Sapience, 2. Maturity, 3. Consent. Eliminate any one of those, fictional or non, and the answer is DO NOT FUCK.

NOSTALGIA TIME. Anyone have this? I didn't, but I remember the commercial.

Not a valid youtube URL
We watched it in 7th grade French class. The only sentence I remember from it is "Je suis un anana" ("I am a pineapple").

Almost everyone I've dated has been born in the 80s. 2 were born in the 70s. 90s would just feel to weird for me!!


And I'll pipe in on the "90s kid" thing. I'm pretty sure that the reason it's phrased that way is because we were kids in the 90s. So, technically we're not "80s kids", we're "80s babies". :-P

I do find it kind of funny, apart from the fact that the chaplain is trying very hard to be polite and understanding
It wasn't polite or understanding to send that notice out with "yes" pre-ticked, especially when he admits that he noticed the error after printing, but apparently couldn't be bothered to fix it, and sent them out anyway, and offers not a trace of an apology. His claim that there is no indoctrination in a play put on by a church group in which "the true meaning of Easter will be explained" is questionable. Let's be honest, they're not going to say it's all about the bunnies and chocolate eggs, are they?

Having said all that, I didn't think the Dad is nearly as funny as I suspect he does, and it's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel. I don't think either man came out of that especially well.

Post by: Barmymoo on 03 Jun 2014, 03:43
Hm, I do agree that pre-ticking the box was very much out of line, but I can't fault a chaplain for considering the true meaning of Easter to be the death of Jesus. That's kind of his job.

Sure. Under the auspices of a comparative religion class, preferably taught by an atheist or agnostic so you get some fair representation, and even then education would be better served by observing high mass then a church play. Those things should honestly count as Geneva Conventions violations.

Just focusing on one religion is wrong though.
Exactly, especially if the trip is explicitly stating that this is the "real" story, which is their way of saying that this is the "correct" religion. At first I was confused with the dad because from the nature of the trip I figured it had to be a religious private school, so why would he send his kid there if he didn't believe or want his kid to? Then I got to the part where it's mentioned as a public school and I was pretty shocked.

Just focusing on one religion is wrong though.
Exactly, especially if the trip is explicitly stating that this is the "real" story, which is their way of saying that this is the "correct" religion. At first I was confused with the dad because from the nature of the trip I figured it had to be a religious private school, so why would he send his kid there if he didn't believe or want his kid to? Then I got to the part where it's mentioned as a public school and I was pretty shocked.
The sad thing is, this shit happens all the time in public schools in Australia.
When I was in year 9, our principal made the entire school go to an "Easter Assembly" at a local church where the motherfucker screened the fucking crucifixion scene from Passion of the Christ. He gave no warning as to what would be at the assembly, and the kids whose parents opted out (Because it's opt out RE, what even) were all stuck in the detention room for a few hours whilst everyone else was at the assembly.

I hope the parents raised a stink over their kids being punished for opting out.

They tried to, as far as I can remember. But nothing ever came of it. The douchebag principal was fired on an unrelated matter later that year anyway. I would have opted out but I was part of the school choir, so I *had* to be there.

Anyway, this thread is becoming less and less pointless by the minute.

Global Moderator Comment I think, perhaps, that even in this thread we should steer away from such stereotyping - which could be seen as offensive. There's a difficult line to draw between making fun of stereotypes and actually reinforcing them, but I think somewhat more care would be a good thing. An additional problem is that one thing leads to another, with is why I removed part of the previous post.

I do find it kind of funny, apart from the fact that the chaplain is trying very hard to be polite and understanding and the father is being pretty rude. I'm not so much bothered by the anti-religious jokes as by the meanness. The Bloggess does a much better job of responding politely but hilariously to ridiculous letters (http://thebloggess.com/2011/03/shocking-pictures-of-lou-diamond-phillips-holding-water/).

Yeah, as much as I like crass humour, that kind of response only makes the more 'evangelical' atheists look worse.

Dashboard cameras are common in many countries, so the chances are very good that of the many car crashes occuring every day, one like that would be filmed.

Could've at least researched whether anyone got, you know, maimed or killed. Because honestly? If I knew that everyone in the gif turned out okay, or just minor injuries, I could indeed watch it and be fascinated. But as it stands? Really didn't need to see that.

Some people find footage of people most likely getting horribly injured if not killed fucking awful and you should have considered that before sharing it.

Seriously? You don't get that concept? Even if you don't get it, sometimes the nice thing to do is remember just because you weren't bothered by it, it doesn't mean other people will feel the same way.

The title sort of implies that Vermeer was a fraud or something, but the article itself doesn't give that impression at all. I don't think it diminishes his skill or craft in any way.

You're not crazy, but what you're lacking in this case is empathy, consideration and tact. Many people find the thoughts and images of unnecessary and violent deaths upsetting. These events are upsetting in their own right because they represent or depict one of the most terrible and traumatizing experiences in human existence: sudden and gruesome death that can strke anyone at any time. But they may also trigger painful memories or fears over which some viewers may have no control.

I'll accept that you may have difficulties understanding, personally, why someone may find this sort of thing upsetting (or why someone may be even more upset by your subsequent posts) but I think you've the capacity to recognise that people may find such images distressing, that it's not an uncommon or in any way odd reaction for a person to have, and that you should just accept that and adjust your behaviour out of consideration for your fellow human beings. Just chalk it down to one of those weird human things if it helps. peace

A debate about whether to publish or air images of a gruesome scene occurs fairly often in newspaper and TV newsrooms. Most of the time, responsible organizations err on the side of caution, knowing that they'll get complaints if they run a photo or video clip that will distress reader/viewers without a clear need to inform them. Posting a dashcam video -- and I've watched a number --  raises a question the poster isn't prepared to answer. Unprepared viewers want to know if people died, were seriously injured, miraculously survived. We're not going to get an answer to those questions, and the inability of the poster to answer I regard as an extension of that absence of empathy. BTW, I'm reasonably sure the out-of-control truck didn't keep going and leave the scene. It probably wasn't able to and there may have been no road for it to travel in any case.

My intent is to show that whether to post gruesome or potentially upsetting images is controversial in other settings, and the discussion may be a public one, a discussion the OP might have noticed elsewhere. Newspapers I read sometimes apologize in print for running a photo of, say, a body on the street after an accident. The considerations are similar: As Aimless put it, empathy, consideration and tact.

...and you're a military historian?

I'm a former Marine and gunsmith with an appreciation for military history. Even if I had finished my BA in History and gone on to my MH Masters, my knowledge of the, Chinese Civil War, and Cultural Revolution could EASILY still be as limited as it is now from a historical standpoint. There is a good chance I would have at least studied the Guerrilla warfare tactics as outlined in Mao's "On Guerrilla Warfare". Which I haven't outside of the common principles expressed in other documents. It's a large planet with a lot of history, my military history professor knew a lot but even he admitted he specialized in European Warfare and the history of the United States Airforce.

So as related to my primary occupation, I believe I am correct as to the identity of those firearms, down to splicing out the Chinese variant of the PPSh submachine gun the Type 50, and given the weapons, clothing and coloration of the photo, along with the poster (Tovarishch Akima is nothing if not reliable in her insight and interesting references and posts relating to Chinese history) I feel I am safe in assuming it's from the cultural revolution, probably a group of Red Guard. (Not to be confused with the Guards formations of the Red Army of the USSR of course)

Yes tóngzhì, it is a photo from the early years of the Cultural Revolution, when children were encouraged to denounce their parents and other family members, so it was my comment on the truth of Captain Picard's remark. The Sten gun was used by both sides in the Chinese Civil War 1946-1950. I don't know how many were "original" and how many were locally-made copies.

The Sten submachine gun is a favorite of Nations and individuals with limited manufacturing capacity specifically because it is so simple while I would wager that some of the sub machine guns in China were manufactured by the United States and Common Wealth partners of Great Britain the vast majority were probably locally manufactured by the Imperialist s and the Communists themselves much like the ak-47 of today. The revolutionary equivalent of buying local you could say.

So  it's the actual actor in the left picture?  Is it like he's supposed to be talking to himself or something? Only a year later at the same con?

Is that the actual actor in the right picture in black?

To be honest, most gifs with that layout irritate the hell out of me. If the most action that's occurring is that someone is moving their mouth, why not just leave it as a still image? We get that the person shown generally said whatever is written if you write over it (under it, next to it, whatever). I don't need to see 7 frames of lips moving (or not moving).

To give credit where it is due though, Penatonix are the ones who did the cover with Lindsey Stirling as backup on her violin. That song is how I found out about them, following Lindsey links. They are awesome and everyone should listen to them.



Another awesome band is Steam Powered Giraffe. They perform music and vaudeville style comedy acts as robot characters, with a pretty extensive and cool back story.

If North Korea were a poster on this forum, they'd have been banned for being a troll. I find it hard to believe it's not all an elaborate hoax. I'm very interested to find out what the merciless retaliation they have in mind might be - a film about Obama being the anti-Christ perhaps? I expect the Tea Party would provide funding.

So I recently dreamed an entire anime series in great detail. I've spent the last few days transcribing everything because it was so awesome someone has to make it. It basically boils down to power armor magical girl ghostbusters but they are all in their 20's and use magitek. I swear I will make it my mission, on my free time, to ensure this gets a release somewhere even if it's just in comic form. My main life's goal remains to become the immortal empress of a martian based superscience empire.

If she didn't sleep for that week, it's one communication every five seconds; if she slept 6 hours a night, that's down to under four seconds each.  That is clearly impossible, not least because the speed with which her phone would respond wouldn't maintain that - so the figures are wrong or made up.

I tried to train my kitty to wear one of those, but she never was having anything to do with it. I lived on a fairly busy street and I was worried about her getting run over. She always wanted to go outside. But whenever I tried putting on the harness, she laid down, ears back and refused to move until I took it off. :(

Only if you play every mission by going straight to the objective marker and ignore the wide open levels full of hidden areas and loot. Actually, not even then, whoever spread that rumour is a goddamn idiot. I've spent a total of sixty hours on it over roughly two playthroughs.

Its a fun, entertaining, interesting world.  You basically play as night-crawler/assassin's creed guy in a steam punk (whale oil) world.  Yeah its 6 hours if you speed run but you can say that about any game (some people in WoW would hit level cap in a day).  Still a barrel full of fun with great atmosphere and great watercolor art design.  Loved ever bit of it. So many different ways to complete a mission. It is also the first stealth based game I actually enjoyed.

I didn't think so. The plot is pretty much a mash-up of the movie V for Vendetta and Commando.  Yes Commando as in Arnold Schwarzenegger. But thats putting it is a very basic way.  There is a lot more going on.

Also we had a thread about it here (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php?topic=28307.msg1105124#msg1105124) if you wish to inquire more.

Post by: LTK on 30 Jun 2014, 15:36
The basic plot beats of the game are pretty predictable but the setting and themes are extraordinary. If you've played the game, read this article (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/columns/criticalintel/10133-Corvo-Is-Not-An-Honorable-Man) about Victorian notions of a man's honour and how Corvo's role in the game contrasts with it.

I'll take the rest of the discussion to the thread now.

But look at the picture, the first one looks like he's pissed off.. then he's depressed while falling.. like he's just saying "screw it".

"He didn't kill himself, he just fell."  So is that like saying, "He didn't shoot himself, the gun just went off."? :P

Not unreasonable, because...seriously, what's up with that line? "My country, it is of you" Huh? You can't even chalk it up to crazy word order, because later they say "of thee I sing", so you're basically saying "it is of you (America) of you I sing". I mean that sort of works but it's still a huge mess. Oh wait, no, I guess that does make sense.

So question on car decals.  I have a dry application one where you simply peel off the clear half with the decal and put it on the surface and peel that away to apply the decal.  Simple enough, right?  Well, no, because the adhesive on the decal is apparently really strong, and not coming off of its backing.  So whenever I try to peel the clear side off, the decal doesn't come with it.  Anyone know how to fix this?

I don't, and if I did it'd be hard to jog my memory when the only information available is a sequence of gifs. >_>

And doesn't that 'door test' require that the other person is perceptive enough to notice that the other door is, in fact, locked, before they can make the decision? I probably wouldn't notice, but then I don't drive.

And now, in the category "cool stuff old people do"...

So during lunch me and some coworkers stopped at a radio shack because co worker B needed to pick up something real quick.  Me and co worker A were looking at some t-shirts when some random guy came up to us and asked "Hey do you guys have an adapter that connects to an iphone to charge it?"  I replied "No sorry I don't have one."  He looks at me for a second and then walks away.  I turn to co worker A and asked wondered out loud "What was that all about." We turn around and Co worker A says "hey check out the cashier."  I look and see she is wearing a red shirt and black pants.  I then looked down and noticed I just so happened to be wearing the same thing.  We chuckled for a bit and when we got in line we noticed the exact device he was looking for was in the line for check out.  We laughed again and co-worker A noticed that the person left with an annoyed look on his face.  We explained to to B and we all had a good laugh out of it.

TL;DR- If you see someone who might work at the store you are in, ask them if they work there first. 

This has happened to me in Target and Best Buy before so I think it is funny but at least in target and best buy the customers asked me if I worked there.

That video game thing is pretty misleading. One of the better developments in modern games is that the cutscenes in games are seamless with the actual gameplay. In fact, the only times I remember when cutscenes are shown is when they're acting double duty as a loading screen. Call of Duty? Only uses cutscenes when loading. Tomb Raider? Uses Quick Time Events, slowed down movement (such as crouching through crevices or inching through a pitch dark cave. Max Payne? Amazing cutscenes, but, again, only when loading.

You don't like cutscenes? Go back ten years of game development. Cutscenes existed there too and they only interrupted gameplay. Be glad game devs figured out how to make better use of them.

(and I'm not saying all cutscenes are good. MW3 had horrible cutscenes which were little more than animated slideshows. Same goes for MGS cutscenes. Oh, the horror. But when they're pulled off well, as in Tomb Raider, Max Payne 3, Uncharted, The Last Of Us, they're the thing that sells the game.)
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: kyomi on 09 Jul 2014, 13:02
I dunno.... I think cutscenes ruined games... they used to be only as an intro or an ending (or leading up the final boss as his intro). I liked that... but more at the point I'm getting at is that most FPS games now are extremely linear and nothing like Doom/Quake and such. It's like they don't trust us to be on our own and explore things.

I especially like the storytelling one. I believe it was John Romero (Or possibly John Carmack.. one of the Johns) that said, "Storytelling in a game is like background story in a porn movie. It's nice to have sometimes but it's not the reason your there."

Doom games - Space marine, problems with demons on Mars/Hell opened up.... kill things
Quake - Supernatural gods/Strogg (alien race) are causing problems... kill them
Even games like Serious Sam - Mental has a horde of engineered assholes. kill them on your way to him.

I like the simple, basic "kill them, they are fucking your shit up" story :)  I think that's why older games are still fun to play.. is they didn't take themselves so seriously.

So because games are now more interesting, more elaborate, more of an art form, and have more investment you now don't like them? You're missing out on some truly remarkable games, and while there's still shitloads of shovelware FPSes out there, there's also plenty that are more like the first bit than the second. The first two Bioshocks for one just off the top of my head.

If you want mindless killing, well hey that's out there too. The Painkiller series is huge amount of fun, and consists literally of just 'kill everything until it's dead then move onto the next level.'

As to the game thing: I like games that are basically tautly-scripted movies that you can play, so I guess I am part of the consumer base to blame for cutscene-heavy fps design. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on Doom and Quake and such, but I am glad that games now are not just games then with better graphics.

My team would freak out at me any time I charged a phantom, but with my Krogan War Chief I just swatted them aside

Wedding Planning should be in it's own category of gaslighting.

Instructions:
1. Stay out of the way as much as possible
2. Just sit back and watch
3. Leg it when the Bride inevitably tries to destroy Tokyo.

My friend Amelia got married the last weekend of June and I was her bridesmaid (you may remember how squealingly excited I was about being asked). She was the least Bridezilla bride ever. On the morning of the wedding the hairdressers and make up artist were arriving at quarter to nine to sort out the bridesmaids, bride, bride's mother and bride's sister. At five to nine I woke up in the bridesmaids' tent and realised that we were late. We were all in various states of partial undress and panic when Amelia appeared at the door to the tent and said "hello, please could we have some bridesmaids for hair and makeup?". Completely unflapped and not an angry word about how incompetent we all were at setting alarms!

The whole of her planning was like that too. I was asked to sing and totally forgot about it; two weeks before the wedding she reminded me and was calm while I figured something out.

Banksy is a graffiti artist who does political satire with his awesome work. I think the mario shirt is a double pun because I've seen that orginal image before, except it's a revolutionary getting ready to throw a molotov cocktail. The Banksy version replaces it with a flower... then we have Mario getting ready to throw a fire flower...

His art is very sarcastic and smug but most of the time doesn't actually say anything. The cleverest thing about him is keeping his identity secret in the modern age. Most of his art is just student-level posturing with no meaning.

It's most art, something that I've been delving into a lot lately given my girlfriend is an artist, and I'm finding the stuff that actually has got something to say to be really fascinating.

Art doesn't even need to have a point, but Banksy's stuff really really thinks it does have a point and yet rarely ever does.

Yup... still not helping.. who is Banksy?  All I'm getting right now is some gangmember guy that likes to throw things :/

Banksy is a street-artist with a penchant for putting up the graphical equivalent of satirical one-liners in appropriate/inappropriate places. Some of his work is just meh, like he's just phoning it in, while other pieces just make me laugh with glee even as I realise he's obliquely pointing out something that's pretty fucking sad, both as a well- (and audaciously) placed sign of dissent as well as an attempt to laugh at something to that would otherwise make you cry.

I think that some of his most highly-valued pieces are indeed overrated pieces of absurdist or quasi-philosophical blah. That is to say, I wouldn't pay that much for them if I had the money :o paying millions of dollars to purchase these pieces is kinda like buying a tiger for your Beverly Hills villa. That's not where it belongs and it's just uglified by your purchase ya tasteless tit :o

But, with that said... who am I to judge? Different artists express different things in different ways, and each of us find different things to appreciate in their works for different but mostly legitimate reasons. We're not all going to appreciate the same things in the same ways for the same reasons. I often greatly enjoy watching immigrant comedians whose humor is centered on ethnic/cultural differences and the absurd experiences of immigrants in Sweden. So do many of my non-immigrant friends, but I suspect I enjoy this kind of comedy more--and for very different reasons. Others don't enjoy them at all, but enjoy comedy that I can't stand, most likely because that sort of boring comedy speaks to them in a way it doesn't speak to me.

I like some of the stencils Banksy put up on the West Bank barrier (such as the one that inspired the Mario t-shirt), even though I realize that reactions were mixed:

So... apparently this is happening
(http://kickassfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/425PooTransplant.jpg)
yup, IBS may actually be fixed due to this as well as some other diseases and illnesses.  You are basically transplanting the bacterial cultures of a healthy person into someone who's cultures are fucked up.  They then replicate and take over because they can feed and break down stuff better than the old ones.  Essentially starving out the bad ones. On top of that the cultures will become yours and will prevent further incidents.  I'm really glossing this over but its legit and totally worth looking into!

Isn't that most modern art?

It's most art, something that I've been delving into a lot lately given my girlfriend is an artist, and I'm finding the stuff that actually has got something to say to be really fascinating.

Art doesn't even need to have a point, but Banksy's stuff really really thinks it does have a point and yet rarely ever does.
I think you're a bit harsh on him. I think he's funny and clever in his stencil pieces. He's basically telling good jokes on walls and no other graff artist is close to being as good as that. The museum pieces are less funny but seem to have a bigger point and usually not bad ones.

Plus, I do the stencling thing too so I have to stick up for someone who is just better at it. Something to strive for.

But, as always, YMMV.

Not only that; in the version of the tale I read (amd am reciting from memory), the following happened.

Her husband had defeated some of the guys in question and demanded tribute from them, as was common in that time.
They agreed, when faced with his army, and he left.
Then he thought to himself "hey, maybe returning to them alone demanding more tribute is a good idea. I shall do that."
They killed him (and I believe sent his head to Olga).

She got a wee mad at that.

My boyfriend of over 2 years sent me a game over skype. He said he wants to try and make Pokemon games since I play them so much. I opened it up and was super excited.

Apparently all of the lyrics are all sanskrit and are translations of a Celtic epic...

Which is goofy as fuck. But you probably CAN find the actual lyrics somewhere.

My one complaint is that the talking gifs are always posted as individual gifs and not combined into one super gif. I don't know if that's possible or easy, but it'd make sharing it a LOT easier.

No, this is the First Amendment. It’s not just for the protected classes, you know.

So it stands to reason all genders and races can show up at the white guy bacchanal?

The remark from a conservative (American) perspective is reflective of the perception that traditional American culture is being pushed aside in favor of minority cultures and groups. There's race politics as well, a backlash to perceived public "shaming" of whites due to previous acts as a race.

Actually, that Cat worries me.

Usually, a Cat would eventually figure out it's not real

No scent from the Statue
No sound from same
No movement when knocked
Solid or semi-solid 'Feel'


I have to wonder about that Cats mental state from the start.

Post by: pwhodges on 31 Jul 2014, 02:25
Physics (well, mechanics, really).

Imagine a bucket with a rope looped over a pulley and both ends tied to the handle - easy, right?  Now take one of those ends and use it to support a board under the bucket - same thing, really, and both ends of the rope are still contributing equally to holding the bucket up.  This is just the same with multiple buckets and the boards joined into one.

Post by: Barmymoo on 31 Jul 2014, 03:54
I don't understand the question. I didn't understand how the buckets were keeping the table up - I wondered if there were magnets involved. Paul has explained and I can see how it works but I still find it surprising.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: LTK on 31 Jul 2014, 04:24
I think it makes more sense if you see that the table is actually holding the buckets up.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: kyomi on 31 Jul 2014, 05:12
It's moderately interesting, because the weight of the buckets is pulling the table up to be under the buckets. The length of string is just set correctly so it's taught and there isn't any slack.

As soon as I saw the string being connected to the table first... it kinda ruined it for me :/
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: LTK on 31 Jul 2014, 05:19
Nah, if the string was any shorter the whole contraption would just be further off the ground, it can't be slack at all.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: kyomi on 31 Jul 2014, 05:26
Exactly :)

No matter the length of the string, it'll be either just higher or lower. As long as all strings are the same length.

Now... if the table wasn't tied in the center... that would be interesting. that's what I thought it was at first.. and thought buckets were holding up the table with suction from the bottom of the buckets :)

Surely the buckets have to be heavy enough to be holding the table up, so it is really the buckets that hold up the table? If the buckets were light they'd be up by the ceiling and the table would be down by the floor.

Exactly.  It's easier to visualise if you picture the buckets in the air, and the table on the other end of the ropes.  If the buckets are heavier, they pull the table up until it is stuck under them.

How much do you think a Hershey bar costs in local currency in Ivory Coast? What do you think the wages are like for the gentlemen in the video?

Post by: J on 31 Jul 2014, 15:27
well, the narrator said that a chocolate bar costs 2 euros, & alfonse earns 7 per day, with which to take care of 15 family members & 4 workers. so i'd guess not very good.


personally, i'm kind of charmed at how cheerful these guys are, considering the circumstances.


edit: apparently, their local currency is the West African CFA franc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_African_CFA_franc), with 1 euro = 656.51 (https://www.google.ca/search?q=1+euro+in+west+african+francs&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=sb&gfe_rd=cr&ei=dMXaU-HqHaHP8ge0q4G4DA) as of today. so a chocolate bar would cost them 1313.02 CFA Francs.

i have no idea how that compares to the cost of other goods & services they spend their money on, but it sounds like a lot.

Okay, so I'm gonna post in this thread once just because it's bugging me.  If this thread has no point, it's spherical.  Not non-euclidean.  Third axiom of euclidean geometry is circles. 
Also if the math joke doesn't work, too bad. I'm not very smart. And if it does work, I am SUPR SMRT.

I didn't until you mentioned it.  I didn't look at the image source and thought that it was just a white rectangle with a blob in, and a black rectangle with a blob in (gif blocker).  Made a lot more sense opening it in another browser to to see the animation, but it was already spoilered at that point.

Fly!
Where am I going, you ask?
Don't ask stupid questions...
No need for a map,
I tossed my compass long ago.
My pathos  will show me the way.
Aren't I lonely, walking on alone, you ask?
What a joke!
Even my shadow's in my way.
Freedom's my only rule
Try to hold me back if you can.
Before your very eyes,
I'll die a glorious death.
Nobody can break my wings!

It's a gif. Ideally I'd have got it just after a pagebreak. It starts at the top-left.

Have a link to it, it might work better that way. (http://i.imgur.com/LuKikww.gif)

In reality, radiologists absolutely HATE being put through anything radiology related (PET, CT, X-ray, etc - ultrasound much less so) because they already get way too much radiation. Getting some of our docs to get chest x-rays for work related stuff (which emit very little radiation at this point, and do not need contrast) is like pulling teeth.

In that case, making rap music seems to make you dumber. But that is more likely a reverse causation.

Mod +1 Insightful.  Oh, wait, this isn't /.   It's a rather sad state of affairs when Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are the most trusted "news" men in the US.  Probably why I never watch TV news[1], and stick to the CSM, as well as British and German sources.

[1]  I made an exception to that in 2003 when the US invaded Iraq, and I was getting my live coverage from the Spanish channel, since they had actual journalists instead of talking heads.

Quote
a kid at hogwarts who just wants to get a proper education but can’t focus because of all of the shit harry potter and his friends keep getting themselves into
Jenna B. Lacey, age eleven, knew exactly what she was going to do with her life.
She was going to go to Hogwarts, get top grades, and be the youngest female Minister of Magic by age 35.
It would have been a good plan, if she hadn’t been in the same year as Harry Potter.
*   *   *   
Year one started out great. She was sorted into Hufflepuff, did well in all her classes, and aced the exams.
A troll smashed its way through the study room she was in on Halloween, but that wasn’t going to deter her.
*   *   *   
Year two was a disaster. People were getting petrified, and worse—the teachers had to herd them from place to place, which severely cut down on her library time. She had to study in the common room, which meant instead of a nice, quiet atmosphere, she got a soundtrack of nervous Hufflepuffs.
And on top of that, exams were cancelled. It was a disaster.
*   *   *   
Third year, she started to notice a trend.
First the troll, than the petrifications, and now dementor guards and escaped convicts. What did they all have in common? Potter.
After Black broke in and everyone had to spend the night in the Great Hall, interrupting Jenna’s last minute studying for a test the next day, she took to giving Potter angry looks in every class.
He did not notice.
*   *   *   
They announced the Triwizard tournament at dinner the first night of fourth year, and Jenna almost started crying.
Potter was going to take this one over. She just knew it.
And she was right.
Voldemort rose at the end of the year. She honestly didn’t know what she had expected.
*   *   *   
Fifth year brought Umbridge. She joined the DA because she was going to need a better background in defense, but that didn’t mean she was any happier about Potter.
She imagined it was him she was hexing instead of Zachariah Smith.
But, by the end of the year, focus on her studies was impossible. After Dumbledore left, it was complete anarchy.
Potter’s fault. Of course.
*   *   *   
Sixth year she started volunteering in the hospital wing. She needed a backup plan in case Potter fucked it up.
All seemed quiet, until they brought Malfoy in. It was apparently Potter’s fault, which surprised everyone except Jenna.
Later, she was peacefully studying in a little nook on the third floor when some Death Eaters and some other adults started dueling right under her nose.
This was the worst fucking school, honestly.
*   *   *   
They were calling it “The Final Battle.”
Jenna ran through the hall, dodging in and out of the children evacuating, until she saw him.
“POTTER.”
He turned, startled. “Um—Jenna, right? We’re sort of busy—”
She grabbed the front of his shirt and hauled him up until he was eye level with her. “If I’m not Minister of Magic by age 35, it is going to be entirely your fault and I’m going to hurt you.”
She dropped him and stormed away, leaving him to whatever he was doing. She had to fight this goddamn war so she could go back to her fucking studying.
*   *   *   
She became Minister of Magic at age 36.
Fucking Potter.

I read the comic more as saying that, contrary to the idea behind nostalgia-laced facebook clickbait quizzes, it wouldn't be the cartoons and the beyblades and the yo-yos that you'd really remember if you were a nineties kid. Instead, like anyone, you remember the things individual to you that severely impacted you as a child growing up in an uneasy, confusing decade.

I interpreted the comic as someone's personal experiences. Like it's a response to the "Only a true 90s kid remembers [thing]" but they don't remember those things because their memories of the 90s are of those negative things.

You would not believe some of the insane math that goes into proper training.
See, Pokémon have genetic values, which they inherit from their parents, up to a value of 31. That means they have 31 points more in a stat when at lvl 100. Considering stats go up to 300 or so, that's a lot.

Then there are also Effort Values, which further raise your stats depending on which Pokémon you beat (e.g. if you keep beating Chanseys, it raises your HP, I think.)

And of course the different items the Pokémon can carry, which influence their stats, moveset, or do something else entirely like hurt the enemy on a physical attack.

Then double fights add a whole new level of complexity. For example, you can have very strong attacks like Earthquake which hurt all Pokémon except those who have Flying type - because they are, duh, flying. So what you do is send out your Ground Pokémon and a Flying Pokémon and let them rock the enemy to pieces.

...excuse me, I only have a vague memory of the last five minutes. I geeked out again, haven't I? :D

I love this wedding album!

(http://i.imgur.com/eJURp5E.jpg)
Allegedly the story is that the groom couldn't get time off work for the wedding photos, (apparently they work 24 hour duty shifts) so the studio came to his station instead. I fucking doubt that for a wide variety of reasons, but this wedding album is 100% KM approved regardless.

That's an important image, but how people are using it bugs the shit out of me. They're using it in response to the ALS challenge, and while it would be good if the result was "oh, I'll donate it to something that needs it more", most people will see that and go "oh, instead of donating this to ALS, I won't donate to anything".

Also, for the circles, it looks like the actual scale used to match the dollars/deaths is the diameter/radius, which VASTLY exaggerates the perception because what we see is the area of the circles, which is a function of the radius squared. So yeah, it was made very specifically to deceive.

fair point, but i think it's probably more likely that the person who designed it just didn't know/care enough to take that into account.

In strange stories from GM's life that's slightly related, one of the major cases the animal control department I worked for (please remember that in most of the U.S. Animal Control isn't JUST the dog catcher, but an actual Law Enforcement Unit who enforces county code for animal control, and leads investigations on animal abuse matters, such as puppy mills, dog fighting rings, and other related matters) handled was a local Chinese restaurant that had three hundred cats in the freezer and I can assure you that casual racism aside (which is it's own shitty issue) in real cases where a resteraunt is using meat that's considered unfit for human consumption in the United States, especially animals that are usually considered pets here, there isn't ANYTHING funny about it in the slightest. Just very, very sad.

5 Panthers
2-3 Stugs or Hetzers (not sure which)
Tiger 1 (Kuromorimines Flag Tank)
Oorai's Mark iV Panzer and Flag Tank
Not sure what the other Kuromorimine TD's are
Maus - can't forget the Maus, nor the way Oorai took it out
Oorai's Porche Tiger I think

That's all I can think of at the moment.  Minds on other things at the moment, so I just did that off the top of my head.

Oh, and Pravda's tanks are a mix of T-34s and KV2's

Actually it's not when you look at it. Much of Japan is still rural, and the populations in those areas aren't usually super high tech, similar to a lot of the more rural parts of the United States, even in the cities a lot of internet access is achieved via cell phone, which this guy said his methodology wouldn't pick up. It's also worth considering that, despite Western perception, a lot of Japan is still extremely low tech compared to a lot of the Western world, this includes in it's corporate culture and industry.

China has about 30 years at most before they hit two significant population sea changes, the oldest population in the world, and a steep population decline. Reversing the one child policy now just isn't going to be enough to fix the damage. International politics wise that's both good and bad. It means that in the near future the Pacific will quiet down because no one's scared of a paper tiger that can only gum you to death, but it also means there's pressure on the Chinese to accomplish aggressive foreign policy (Senkaku Islands, anything to do with the independent nation of Taiwan, maybe snapping up Siberia if Putin doesn't watch his Easter borders too closely) needs to happen on an accelerated time table.

LOL! Someone's been reading way too much Tom Clancy.

On the other two issues there's some potential for trouble, but I'd rate this one very, very improbable. Especially as long as Mr. Putin pisses off America and its allies, and needs *ahem* pragmatic Chinese buyers for his gas, oil etc. so badly. Why invade, when you can buy the good stuff at bargain prices? China and Russia are not really friends by any means, but they need one another in their mutual antagonism to American global hegemony, which is all that they really have in common.

The dog is secretly pissing in that boot, and thinking "You wear Uggs? Seriously?"

....I now want NFL games to feature sword fights between teenage girls instead of... you know. Actual hand egg.
I endorse this idea; women with swords make everything better (though you can keep the sword & sorcery gear; even Sandahl Bergmann had trouble bringing off that look), but why should teenagers have all the fun?

I want a movie about a little girl, aged like 11-12, going through the stuggles of prepubescent girl life, with her entire inner monologue is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

Shot of disgruntled adorable little girl.

My friend recently bought a flat and on the wall of what is now her office is a huge, hand-painted children's mural full of different characters from fairy tales and cute scenes like farms or children playing in a park. It's a work of art and I'm so glad they didn't paint over it when they moved out!

I've seen this one in the wild, so to speak. It was the description in the local paper's version of the TV/Cable listings for that episode of Ustinov's Mark Twain travelogue, where he retraced Twain's footsteps in an around-the-world journey. It must have been late 90s when I saw it, because I had seen it online first, which is why I noticed and noted the occurrence.

Christian Science Monitor.  Despite the name, it's not really a religious publication, 'cept for the occasional editorials.
The CSM publishes a daily religious column, and a religious article appears in each weekly magazine, but it has a good reputation for unbiased, unsensational news coverage.

I don't get the Stockholm map. Is that actually what all those names translate to? Or is it just silliness?

Sort of.

It's not made up, but some stuff is more or less Machine Translated (or in such a style), so it assumes some words grabbed from one dictionary-definition out of context, when it's really another.

Like, "Karla's Scheme" is from "Karlaplan". So think "A plane surface" versus "Having a plan". So like a town square, really.

However a lot of them are accurate too. Like when on the train between Father City (Not as snazzy as Daddy Town, but Far doesn't really translate as that usually. Or "Far" as in travel, etc. Dunno. Probably the latter.) and the central station it's not unusual to have little kids enthusiastically go "Blow-out?!" and start huffing away compliantly.

~Something which me and my friends, as mature individuals, have of course never partaken in~ :wink:

the link will take you to where all 12 episodes are dubbed into English. 
I've watched them all, and am allowing my Son&Heir, who is a HUGE WoT fan, to watch them too.
I even linked them for my Princess, because I'm pretty sure she will enjoy them too.


I liked the story and animation too...  :psyduck:

I guess it's just unobtrusive enough that I don't even generally notice that it's there, but yeah, you're right.  There still isn't any other American paper that I trust for any purpose but wrapping fish or lining bird cages.

In my experience, the tréma, or double dot, over a vowel indicates that it should be pronounced, despite the fact that the vowel is in a letter combination in which it is usually NOT pronounced.

Was that English Traditional/Simplified thing from a Chinese web-site? That kind of presents the USA as the equivalent of the PRC, and the UK as Taiwan. Which... kind of makes sense. You know, the regime that used to rule the whole lot retreating to an offshore island. And "There is only one China English language." but we disagree grumpily about who owns it. :-D 

Actually the Traditional/Simplified thing is questionable even in the Chinese context where it is usually applied. Many of the Traditional characters are actually newer than their Simplified equivalents, which were derived from earlier forms. I suppose this is not so different from English, where American English preserves some older features that have been lost from supposedly more traditional British/Commonwealth English.

I've always read Fëanor as "feh-ahnor", but I have no idea if that is "correct".

Traditionally, the tit-heads are much better than American cops, and actually help some of the people (including tourists).  My ex once stayed at a hostel in the UK where she was to engrossed in her book to realise that they had already closed the gates.  One of the plod found her prowling around the place, looking for a way in, and after she explained what she was doing, he said "come with me" and rang the bell until the staff answered and yelled "this is the police", and when they opened the gate, he stood aside and basically said "this way please".  My experiences with German cops, despite the scary guns they often carry were equally as professional.

Only because you don't know your Magical Girl Animes. Duh!

The one rather to the left of Usagi's face with the white wings attached to it's head is the staff (http://static.minitokyo.net/downloads/03/28/313903.jpg) from Card Captor Sakura - as is the one on the other side of the face, the winged pink ring with a star inside (http://static.zerochan.net/Cardcaptor.Sakura.full.29437.jpg). Right above it is the transformation pen of Sailor Jupiter, clearly distinguishable by the Jupiter symbol (http://myherozone.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/169884_1232116811069_full1.jpg).

The one touching the m of the "com" in the URL is the key staff (http://bestuff.com/images/images_of_stuff/210x600/sailor-pluto-58525.jpg?1178278857) of Sailor Pluto.
Right above Usagi's head (the one with the crescent moon) should be the wand of Sailor Moon herself (http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq198/nsomniacartist/SM-1.jpg). The one to the right of it, which looks like it is filled with chewgum orbs, is the one from DoReMi (http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110202103736/ojamajowitchling/images/2/20/Hazuki%27s_wand.png).

I am missing Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne's Rosenkranz.

Seriously, Eric, you are displaying a horrendous lack of education  :psyduck:

Anyone able to identify the one slightly to the upper left of the crescent moon wand, the broken ring with the red orb? It's so familiar to me, but I cannot put my finger on it.

That's the joke dude.

The broken ring with the red orb is from Magical Lyrical Nanoha, aka Friendship by Superior Firepower. To it's lower left is a another star and ring which is from Fate/Kaleid Line. There are however some swords in the throne to the top right we have Revolutionary Girl Utena's small sword (literally the kind it is), Claire or Claymore's Claymore, and in obvious fashion right by Usagi is Ryuko's Scissor Blade from Kill la Kill. The swords to the left have owners too, but I'm spacing them.

Obviously places like The Guardian, etc freaked the fuck out about this, while 4chan users in the known made comments to Jezebel and a few other places as well as just discussing it that amounted to "Wtf?" and "Emma's an actual feminist, not some rabid SJW, she's cool" with the general consensus that this was a false flag operation by some agency. Turns out? 4chan was 100% correct. It WAS a false flag by a viral marketing company.

That's fucking funny right there.

Well, the marketing firm were just the mercenaries hired, and they did quite well at getting it to go viral.  The campaign to try to censor the internet (even a cesspit like 4chan) are the ones who planned and directed the operation.  And due to the very nature of whom they were trying to pin it on, there is probably a grossly inflated hit-count due to the sheer number of people who would assume that they were just being trolled and going to see Rick Astley or some sort of shock site.

Was pointing out who to really blame.  The user, not the sword.

And acting is just what some people want to do (and given Christopher Lee's war record, I think he's the kind  of old show dog that wouldn't *stay* locked up.  Right before he slits his keepers' throats.
 Then again, if actors stuck to acting, I'd have never had to endure Reagan or the Governator.

Wow. That's fucking stupid. Not that the UN is useful or relevant in the first place anymore, being a decrepit, powerless bunch of hypocrites that needs to be quietly taken out behind the wood shed and given a merciful early death, it's only entities worth preserving maybe including the World Health Organization but really? I suppose this shouldn't be surprising after the Angelina Jolie thing but they couldn't find someone who actually.... does stuff? An activist or academic? Someone who's made equality their life's work as opposed to that one person from the series of movies based on a children's book series that were kind of okay? Coming soon! Hugh Laurie's Doctor House will be joining the WHO as an International Ambassador and Representative to the UN General Council, and Benedict Cumberbatch will be acting as a representative at large to the European Council and Courts for INTERPOL!

You know, doing one job doesn't preclude a person from being an activist... Being an actress doesn't stop her from wanting to take a larger role in promoting equality. And a well known and liked public figure makes a much better front face for an organization than some random, unknown person.

You probably don't remember, but I did mention that I was born at the tail end of the Carter administration. 

RE: The UN, the Security Council, at least as it is now is just another Cold War relic, the Human Rights Council is a joke, but things like UNESCO, and UNICEF still do good works.  If nothing else, it does get countries to talk outside of special summits in Switzerland or somewhere like that.

And a well known and liked public figure makes a much better front face for an organization than some random, unknown person.
And one that doesn't carry the baggage of some random official or another.

You're so right, once someone chooses a career that is the entire extent of their worth or activities. Its ludicrous to think someone could have time to do other things, especially thing that show awareness and a sense of social responsibility. And Emma Watson was totally giving that speech as Hermione, the only character she ever has/will play.

Don't forget that being young, female and attractive is a complete disqualification from having opinions, expressing them, or taking part in any activity more serious than painting your nails. :roll: 

As should be obvious to anyone who's been exposed to male sportsmen, for example, being trotted out as spokesmen for everything from selling cars to endorsing haemorrhoid cream, the whole point of having celebrity ambassadors is to persuade people to pay attention. Using your celebrity to draw attention to causes you believe to be just and vital is at least as worthy as using it to sell golf clubs or lipstick, and being an actor by profession is no bar to having a brain or a conscience.

As for the United Nations, it is as effective as the nation-states that make it up want it to be. Typically people who whine about how ineffective the UN is would be the first to complain if the UN could act effectively to control the behaviour of their governments. From Americans, for example, the complaint simply boils down to: "Waaa! The UN doesn't do what America wants it to!".

What makes her a useless celebrity? Yes, she became famous because she is an actress. How does that detract from what she is doing in any way besides giving her a wider platform of people who will pay attention?

Shirley Temple and Ronald Reagan were both useless celebrities. That didn't stop them from using that platform to achieve other goals.

Exactly

While some of them can act like complete twats (Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson anyone?), some of them actually have the intelligence to use their position to advance good causes.

Just because he/she is an actor/actress, doesn't automatically mean they haven't got more than two braincells to rub together - though I will admit some of them leave you wondering.

This may be a little too euclidean for this thread, but I believe that, unless you lead a truly extraordinary and superior life, have a great deal of meaningful insight and knowledge, and can make a very persuasive case... It's not very tactical to disparage someone else and what they do, esp when that person has demonstrably attained some significant level of success in many important aspects of life.

The reactions to the "false flag" operation weren't particularly funny, not simply because it was a dumb gimmick by a useless company but because we currently live in a world where it very well could have been for reals. stealing people's private info? For reals. Spreading women's nude photos on the Internet against their wishes for jerks to jerk off to and feel empowered by? For reals. Threatening women who date to speak up and take space? For reals. Punishing women who publicly make statements in support of feminism? For reals.

It's not particularly embarrassing to believe a plausible lie, nor is it particularly impressive of 4chan to figure out this "false flag operation". Peace

TRUE STORY
One morning, I was awakened by a knock at the door. I rolled out of bed, threw a blanket over my shoulder because it was cold, and made my way to the front of the house. I opened the door and a very nice lady of some sort of christian denomination handed me a pamphlet and launched in to a well-rehearsed spiel about accepting jesus in to my life when she stopped mid sentence and gave me a peculiar look. I used this pause in her speech to politely decline her offer and wish her a pleasant morning. It wasn’t until I looked at what she handed me that I understood why I stopped her in her tracks and then proceeded to laugh for the next half hour by myself.

the origons of Ouija boards are funny if you think about it like they’re part of an another country (China)’s ancient history that was practiced until one emporer decided “You know what this is probably a bad idea” and banned the practice.

then centuries later an old buisnessman comes along and is like “I’m going to take this and market it as a toy to children.”

Which is the exact plot of Yu-Gi-Oh

While 扶乩 (fújī) or "spirit writing" has a long history in China, it is more akin to "automatic writing" than the mechanically quite different ouija board. If you think about it, a Chinese-language ouija board would be quite impractical. It would have to be the size of a dinner-table and covered with thousands of characters.

Ah... Maybe they mean 碟仙 (diéxiān). That is a lot more like a ouija board, now I come to think of it. A sheet of paper is drawn with characters in a circular pattern, and a glass bowl is moved over it to "spell" the "messages". But I don't think that diéxiān was ever banned by any Emperor.

When I worked in a toy store a few years ago, a young couple bought a Ouija Board. About 3-4 hours later they brought it back. "It doesn't work."

I'd claim restraint in not saying anything while I processed the refund, but the truth was closer to stunned silence.

I did a report on the history of witches as my final project for my religious studies, and I learned some very interesting things.

If you go back before the big Christian witch hunts you'll see a lot of reports of people getting burned for accusing others of being witches. The explanation was because the church believed that only through God could you perform "magic" so even if someone tried to cast spells and what not it would be ineffective. Therefore the belief that others could perform magic was seen as just as pagan as people attempting it.

So if you accused someone of being a witch there was no grantee the "witch" would get killed, but you sure as hell would just for thinking witches existed.

As we all know the church eventually gave in to the people's demand for "justice" and the big witch hunts started.

Satellite TV requires satellites, which are rather NASA's thing!  And someone would have needed to think of a reason to invent memory foam.  The others seem a normal fallout from progress; I'm a bit puzzled at their claiming water filters, for instance - they probably invented some effective filtering medium based on sintered metals or something, I guess.

Good point.  The Irish were only about 30% of that neighbourhood, and 40% were Chinese (the rest was everybody else).  It made me happy since I could get all my food at inexpensive Asian markets, and there were plenty of Irish pubs with cheap drinks.

To be fair, everything is pronounced that way in Maine. So pronouncing it like it looks isn't incorrect, it's just not using the local accent.

The weird part for me is that I was taught by french canadian teachers, who feel that even the strongest pronunciation of the letter R in english is far too weak.  In French, R is practically a hard consonant.

Yeah, the whole map looks dodgy. What does "% of total" even mean? Is it saying that 75-100% of all tea is consumed in Russia, and also China and India, and the UK too? That doesn't add up. If it meant something like "75-100% of the population consume tea/coffee" it might make more sense, but then there'd be overlap in some places where both are drunk regularly, and that isn't shown either. Looks like the most likely description is "% association of national stereotype with tea".

I think it's "of all coffee and tea units drank in this area, coffee is 75% or more of that total, or tea is 75% or more of that total, etc."

To the right people it is a compliment. The people I know use it to refer to someone who is muscular and strong while still being slender. A lot of my crushes are female wrestlers, for example, who could be described as 'thick.'

Well theoretically Obama could have ordered Quarantine protocol into place ending all travel from West Africa, which might have helped Dallas considering there is now a small outbreak. (Three people total counting patient 0)

i think that quarantining travel to and from an entire continent is probably no small feat; at least without massive international cooperation. would probably significantly hinder aid efforts as well.

while it's disconcerting that this is happening so close to home, the small number of lives saved by preventing small/controlled outbreaks over here would very likely translate to far more lives lost over there.

West Africa and the affected nations are /hardly/ an entire continent, let's not get too dramatic J.

More lives would be lost by limiting travel? Boy you should go tell the CDC they have their quarantine procedures all wrong! The entire idea is to limit the travel of the disease to other countries, especially major travel hubs limiting the chance of ANY outbreak outside of the area that's already in the shit. Doesn't mean WHO, Doctors Without Borders or other aid groups aren't going in and out, just limits the flow of civilian travel, because that's just common sense.

The problem is, the affected nations have rather porous borders, and the entire region suffers from civil administration that is somewhat rough around the edges. Quarantining just Guinea, Liberia, or even "West Africa" generally would simply encourage travel via more convoluted routes through other countries and regions, and this would make potentially infected travellers more difficult to track. Once such travellers started to reach, say, the USA via, Kenya, or South Africa, the present hysteria would probably demand quarantine for the entire continent.

Pretty much agree with Akima and was arguing the same point the other day.  :lol:

So we should allow potential infected to travel, because not allowing them to would make it harder for them to do so?

...right then.

You people will be the first to go when the T-virus shows up.

The big question is whether or not Madagascar has shut down everything.

No he's not! An end is a beginning!

This is going to sound terrible, but how does one actually GET to Madagascar?

One does not simply walk into Madagascar...unless they're walking off a boat, I guess.

Or a plane.

Or a dirigible.

This show was generally dismally unfunny, but I enjoyed watching it for some reason. Also its few jokes that landed (like this one) were fucking hilarious.

I've seen it.  The problem is presumably one of the many I'm seeing caused by servers disabling SSL3 because of Poodle, and the clients needing to catch up (e.g. new FireFox 34 due soon).

Tapatalk for Android is affected, but Tapatalk for iPhone seems OK.  I can't read the forum at all on my XP machine, even though it has the same version of Opera that I'm using now.

The forums no longer have an http backup; they are (since yesterday) only https, and once again they go through CloudFlare, like the comic.

I've also seen Thunderbird hang trying to access changed servers.  Seeing as one survey says that less than 0.1% of Internet traffic uses SSL3, these effects seems much more widespread than they should.

Foxhole, now with fox.

Official Marine Corps policy has killed the fox hole, disliking the implication that one hides in them. Marines now dig fighting holes, and supplement them with shallow sleeping trenches called ranger graves.

I imagine the same thing kind of happened in a reverse kind of way with Idris Elba playing a space norseman in Thor.  Honestly if they do a good job I don't think it really matters but others seem to disagree.  That isnt to say ScarJo is the only person who could play the role.  Just the ones the hollywood executives probably preferred because she's big right now.  the industry is screwy.  :psyduck:

No, the actress has been approached about playing the lead role in a live action version of Ghost in the Shell.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: Method of Madness on 16 Oct 2014, 21:44
According to the wiki, Margot Robbie is in talks to play the lead. So would the live-action version not explicitly take place in Japan, I guess?

Just changed the name for it to "fighting holes"

Also I'm going to go out on a limb and say based on the director, and just Hollywood's track record with actual deep subjects any GITS movie made in the West is going to be such a massive pile of shit it would be a coprophiliac strawberry patch's wildest dreams come true.

I love Ghost In the Shell and the philosophical concepts it approaches as we've discussed several times on this forum. The Wachowski siblings might have been able to pull this off. (Maaaaybe. And that's because they already tried to basically make a GITS movie with their Matrix trilogy) The guy who brought us Snow White And the Huntsman doesn't have a snowball's chance on Mercury.

One of the guys in the lab apparently got a bit creeped out by the Ebola scare, and he bought a huge box of surgical face masks that he wears when he goes outside. It's a rather odd reaction considering:

1) Your chances of randomly encountering an Ebola sufferer in public in Oklahoma are very small.
2) If you do encounter an Ebola sufferer, then as long as you don't touch them and they don't bleed, spit, or throw up on you, you'll be okay.
3) If you encounter an Ebola sufferer and touch them, the face mask won't protect you.  :psyduck:

To prevent spreading it if you have it, sure. As for getting it, that's why I got the flu shot.

Working for the government with people who have been here for 400 years you have to have everything IT-related absolutely locked down so that people don't hurt themselves. So, no. I can't even change the resolution on my screen without logging a call with the IT helpdesk.

There was one time at my high school computer science class that my login session accidentally had some of those restrictions lifted, so I could access the graphics control panel and such. Before I left I flipped the screen upside down and logged off. An hour later, my computer science teacher pulled me out of my other class to make me fix it, and I had to go to the IT office to make them log onto the computer remotely with admin privileges to fix it. That was amusing.

Try This....

Open Microsoft Outlook (if it’s not already open).
Fire up the Options panel (found under the File ribbon).
Click open the Mail tab. You should see a “Spelling and Autocorrect…” button. The “Editor Options” panel will launch.
From there, click the “AutoCorrect Options…” button. The “AutoCorrect: English (U.S.)” properties pane is what you should see next.
Under the default “AutoCorrect” tab, look to the “Replace text as you type” section.
Click the “Delete” button.
Repeat these steps for the other smiley auto-replacements.

It is one of these, a style of traditional Chinese "concertina" book, broken in the middle. There is another part in her left hand where you can see the pages. The broken book symbolises the destruction of old ways of thinking, and their replacement with Chairman Mao Thought. The original poster dates from the Cultural Revolution. I think this particular example is Thai:

Yes, and I acknowledged as much, but my point was that I wouldn't want a gritty Star Wars movie. You can have darkness without being a dark movie. Most of the greatest kids' movies have darkness without being dark.

There is nothing wrong (FAO:Method) with things being dark or gritty, my issue is that EVERYTHING is now dark and gritty. Every time something gets rebooted now, it's to make it darker and grittier. Why can we not strike a balance? The MCU is one of the few things that has both darkness and light in equal measure, everything else is just dark, dark, dark, dark. Even fucking comedies are going super dark these days, and I'm talking mainstream successful ones like The Hangover series. And I am just sick of it.

Art is a three ring circus. If you don't like the clowns, maybe you'll like the elephants or the strongman or some shit, so why is such a vast proportion of the movies being released just clown after clown after clown?

Extra Credits did an episode on why heroes of our youth get dark and gritty reboots that I found insightful.

There is nothing wrong (FAO:Method) with things being dark or gritty, my issue is that EVERYTHING is now dark and gritty. Every time something gets rebooted now, it's to make it darker and grittier. Why can we not strike a balance? The MCU is one of the few things that has both darkness and light in equal measure, everything else is just dark, dark, dark, dark. Even fucking comedies are going super dark these days, and I'm talking mainstream successful ones like The Hangover series. And I am just sick of it.

Art is a three ring circus. If you don't like the clowns, maybe you'll like the elephants or the strongman or some shit, so why is such a vast proportion of the movies being released just clown after clown after clown?

Because mainstream success feeds back onto itself. People are watching the clown and enjoying it.

Plus, some people like to think that the whole "darkness" in movies nowadays makes those movies "like, super-deep man". I personally think it's utter bullshit, but what do I know. That makes them believe that the movie made them think and go and find some awesome supersecret subtext on them or something.

EDIT: The Super Mario world 2 dubstep remix at the end of the Extra Credits vid is a nice touch to the point they're making.

Although not all the adult reimaginings have to be dark even for super mario music (http://youtu.be/72rVv3vTOdM)

Peter I of Russia is one of the legendary badasses of history, but he had another side. Peter was painfully shy of crowds, and is thought to have suffered from seizures as well as flares of rage which could lead to him attacking even close friends. His wife Catherine, the love of his life, was the one person who could consistently calm him down. He would frequently retire to a quiet back room and lay his head on her lap until the fit passed. Despite occasional dalliances on Peter's part, the two remained happily married until Peter's death. Although they were rarely separated, the occasions when they were parted resulted in numerous letters back and forth, indicating a loving and happy marriage. Catherine, who began life as a Latvian orphan of peasant extraction, ruled as empress of Russia until her own death in 1727.

Actually, I think this would suck a massive bag of dicks. Empire has some dark moments, but Star Wars is not dark.
Vader crushing Captain Antilles' throat, shooting down escape pods with life signs, the slaughtered Jawas, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru as charred, smoking skeletons, Han shot first!, the destruction of Alderaan and its population of millions (billions?), the death of Obi Wan, the "many Bothans" who gave their lives to get the information on the Death Star, the over 50% casualties in the fighters who carried out the attack? Star Wars might not have been gritty, but it had plenty of darkness, despite George Lucas' attempts to pretend otherwise (Han shot first!).

I'm pretty sure those Bothans were in Return of the Jedi.

And that's a liberal use of the word "in."

Wow, someone is really fucking bad at either math or history, because otherwise the human species barely predates Chaucer (1340 vs. his birth in 1343).

That being said, I picked Chaucer before even doing the calculation of how many years 6 million hours was, so I'm kind of proud of myself for how fucking close it was :roll:

Anonymous said: Okay well, I seem to have a problem. Every 28 days or so, my son goes missing for the entire evening and doesn't show up until early in the morning. I think he actually leaves the house and is gone for the whole night until the crack of dawn, he comes back home, with his clothes all mangled up and smells strongly of wet dog. This has been happening about once every month, usually when there's a full moon. Should I be concerned?? I ask him about it but he refuses to talk to me :( I'm so worried

No need to worry.  Your son is what is commonly referred to as a Furry.  Furries are a community of people who dress up like animals.  I am part of a similar community called Planties - I dress up as a ficus!

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks I guess. "Real Punk" to me is more on the lines of Siniestro Total and the likes.

I could try to find which of the songs on my youtube playlist would be more annoying to put here as a "peace offering" (meaning that I understand that I'm not one to judge and I just hope the same from you) but I have a lot of hard drumstep in it.

Oh, Simple Plan. I definitely enjoyed my fair share back in the day (I had a soft spot for "Perfect") but they were leagues behind The Offspring. I saw them live a few years ago and they were incredible. Dexter did an acoustic version of Gone Away that was amazing. He sat down at the piano and started playing the song from Peanuts first though...so funny.

Funny enough, I saw Iggy and the Stooges as well and while I had a moshing, jumping, enjoyable time....it just isn't my cup of tea.


I don't bother much with classifying bands that fit what is considered the "real" version of what they do. If they make my ears happy, I'm in. And in fact, I actually prefer musicians that blend different genres. More interesting!

Still won't put it. It would override any squee not being exerted from Hanners, and those would probably blend in with the high chords. I'm pretty sure that the burst in pressure cooker is 7khz, and the one in spooky jack to be slightly higher.

Indeed. And in a stunning turn of events, that's the exact reason why I believe Skrillex is actually a musical genius, if only in a general style not appealing to most.

He investigates and innovates. And when he's not trying to sell his craft to 15 year old drunkards who only care about jumping up and down, he creates wonderful pieces. And even some of those can be fixed by taking out a single sample (such as Equinox, which would be perfect if only he hadn't put the "Call 911 Now" scream).

Personally, I'll never get tired of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, Rock and Roll (will take you to the mountain), Summit or Recess, to name a few. I agree that Recess might be the less intended to just listen and enjoy and that's why I put it as example.

Summit, on the other hand, is official sound track for introspective night walks.

I would probably ignore that, but world-famous movie director from my hometown Nacho Vigalondo did say that T3 was cool so to me it's a bit like schroedinger's movie. It doesn't exist until it's not observed.

And while it does sound like "I know this dude and you don't" (which is utterly false since I don't know him either), I just point it out because there aren't many world famous people hailing from Cabezón de la Sal, Cantabria (Spain).

The Pistols were as manufactured and money hungry as the Spice Girls were. Depending on how you look at it, that makes them more punk or less punk. The Ramones worked with fucking Phil Spector. Again, super punk or not at all punk depending on your opinion. The Clash are great but overrated. The Buzzcocks are who we have to blame for the likes of Green Day and Green Day are to blame for Simple Plan ergo The Buzzcocks are to blame for Simple Plan.

I wouldn't call The Jam punk in any sense, really. But then I wouldn't call them anything but expletives because despite having some great songs, I fucking hate Paul Weller and could not give you a single reason why.

Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮 pronouced Joo-guh Leeang with a hard G, incidentally) was an all-round genius whose name is still synonymous in China with culture, scholarship and intellect. He was what we call a "strategist" rather than a "general"; in the context of his time, a general put on armour and commanded troops on the battlefield. The famous partnership between Sun Bin (strategist) and Tian Ji (general), in the service of Qi during the Warring States era, illustrates the distinction.

On the other hand, the Pistols and Ramones mostly annoy me.

GASP!
*points*
Heresey!

Say what you will. To me, the Pistols were the Marilyn Manson of their day: manufactured nihilism. Musically, they were a dead end from the start (but they paved the way for PiL, so they get a provisional pass). And the Ramones were just conservatives in cooler clothes, basically playing Chuck Berry on amphetamines. Their schtick gets too old too fast, too.

I disagree with Gaz about the Clash being overrated. To be clear, I don't think they lived up to their own hype, but they were one of a handful of bands from that time (Wire also comes to mind) that managed to break genuinely new ground because they realized the limitations of punk and at some point -- lip service aside -- basically stopped giving a fuck whether they were punk or not. That, I'd submit, makes them and others of their ilk more punk than a lot of the rest of their peers.

My favorite punk rock band was formed in Dublin in the late 1970's. They made a few records, went on a few tours, got world-famous, and now...


...now, they give away their albums on iTunes. ;)





(Yes, U2 started out as a punk rock band. They emigrated full-on to "rock" later.)

U-2 is a reconnaissance aircraft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_U-2). And Wikipedia has so little sense of history that "U-2" links to the band instead of the plane.

I got to watch the planes taking off and landing while I was in Cali this summer. Their wheel base is so jacked up they need a chase car (a very fast sports car) with another U-2 pilot in it to race along behind them and call distance to deck and angle of approach for the pilot in air.

Depends. I'm more scared of bears generally, but that's because I'm much more likely to encounter a bear. I guess if there's more lions around, you worry about those instead.

Moose can be scary beasts.  I witnessed the results of a Moose vs. JB Hunt semi-truck encounter.  The semi arrived at the JB Hunt depot on two separate flatbed trailers.  According to the driver, the moose was last seen wandering off into the Alaska woods with 6 shots from a .44 (no less, no more) and apparently no worse for wear.

Moose weigh in at LEAST half a ton, and there's reports of examples at a ton and some change in remote Alaska.

Alaska: It's like Australian, but less poisonous and way colder.

The Kurdish-held part of Iraq is pretty much a de facto state; the United States' dealings with Iraqi Kurds reflects that, and I think that even Turkey's moving toward recognizing a Kurdish state (though I think they'd prefer that it was carved out of the Iraqi and Syrian areas controlled by Kurds currently, versus the Kurdish regions in their own country).

 That gentleman burning an ISIS flag is raising the flag of Iraqi Kurdistan, and he is most certainly NOT a terrorist. The Peshmerga are fantastic troops and several of my close friends owe their lives to Kurdish warriors related to the man pictured.

The Kurdistan Region of Iraq has existed since the 1970s, and basically functions as an independent state outside of Baghdad's control, especially since the ISIS offensive. The Kurdish Regional Government has announced referendum plans, and since the Peshemerga (the Kurdish military forces)  are some of the more effective portions of the IA and are gaining  international support, I doubt Baghdad will have much ability to complain.

If the U.N decides to do the smart thing, it'll break off the northern part of Iraq (and maybe part of Syria) for the Kurds and formally recognize it as a new country, and if the Sunni and Shia can't stop infighting, break the rest of the country back to the way it was before the British Empire basically created Iraq out of three different countries.

This is not a jam. This is a misfire called a "squib". Resulting from ammo with not enough powder or no powder at all. A hazard of loading one's own ammo, but factories make mistakes as well. A primer with no powder or an insufficient charge of powder will propel the round down the barrel, but it won't have enough to make it the whole way/over come the friction of the rifling. Thus the round getting stuck. If you don't notice the first you will notice the second because it will at the very least bulge or rupture the barrel and possibly result in catastrophic failure of the whole weapon.

None of this is evident in this weapon which would lead me to suggest it's faked. Probably as a novelty gift for a firearms instructor.

I wondered if the usage of the term 'squib' in the Harry Potter books had any relation to this meaning. It probably does, as the term is an onomatopoia of a weak or failed explosion, and it's used in context other than firearms, like fireworks. Props to Rowling for inventing that use, it feels way more offensive than 'mudblood' given the connotation.

Now that I think about it, you could also use 'squib' as an astronomical term to refer to a brown dwarf.

An army guy on another forum commented:
Quote
(I see a lot of pictures of barrels like this: where the bullets just stack up).

Usually, there are two ways this is discovered: when the gunowner realizes that there's no light coming out of the barrel/they try to swab the barrel...

...or the firearm explodes in their hands.
and
Quote
The Smith and Wesson .357 is an eight shot revolver. He fired all rounds that were in the cylinder.

Again, this is rare but not an uncommon error, and is usually discovered after the fact. It can be a result of stupidity, but depending on the circumstances, there would have been no way to determine that the barrel was clogged until either the gun exploded or it was determined after the fact.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: GarandMarine on 13 Nov 2014, 17:12
That guy's misinformed.

1. There are multiple ways to detect a squid round without a grenade going off in your hands or destroying your barrel first, you just have to pay attention. No rounds going down range for one. The reduced recoil and muzzle flash in particular are the first signs of a squib load. At the second shot you're going to start seeing no or minimal muzzle flash, and "back blast" of gasses.

2. The barrel notes that that is a .357 Magnum revolver by Smith and Wesson, that is not it's model. Smith and Wesson model numbers and  serial numbers are printed on the frame of the revolver under the arm. It could be a Smith and Wesson model 627 which is an 8 shot .357 Magnum revolver in that color, and he was probably thinking of the S&W model 327, but that barrel is the wrong color and configuration for that.

Some children have to work insanely hard to barely pass, and a teacher that recognises that is a brilliant thing. Traditional schooling and testing really does not suit every child.

Maybe it's a distorted sight. See, I'm in the last year of my degree and I've cruised through everything (except for the informations systems and his incompetent professor. Also Software Engineering 101, which requires a group project I couldn't do and a level of attention to detail on the final exam that I need to work more on), so that's how it feels like to me.

And to be honest, every time I've seen someone happy because they barely passed before college it was from those people who consistently got hammered every saturday and didn't even care about anything, so that's another thing.

To add my personal experience I spent the last year of college in a depressed haze and was told I would have an extension on my work but then had a week to finished three months of work due to a lecturer fuck up. I'm fucking amazed I passed at all, nevermind my actual final percentage. You won't usually hear people talking about those kind of reasons for struggling in class.

College though isn't the same as primary/secondary school information retention style testing which I imagine is the specific thing being talked about in the comic.

Also Software Engineering 101, which requires a group project I couldn't do and a level of attention to detail on the final exam that I need to work more on), so that's how it feels like to me.

And to be honest, every time I've seen someone happy because they barely passed before college it was from those people who consistently got hammered every saturday and didn't even care about anything, so that's another thing.

You need to widen the scope of your viewpoint a little bit.

I have many gripes with the following image
(click to show/hide)
1) the entire first panel: First of all, why isn't the girl wearing a helmet that can correctly cover her head, also she is going to get a lot of cuts and scrapes if she is not careful since she is exposing a lot of skin on her legs and chest. Also if she is a wolf woman, why isn't she mauling the dude next to her. And where is her nose, how is she going to find wounded prey?!
2) The truck's grill makes no sense!
3)panels 3-5 what does the digestive track of that factory look like?
4) Panel 6: did she just pick that literal shit up off the ground?
5)This comic cannot have a meaning, wooaw it does! It's a jaded view of the world.  that's not been done before. What were they thinking.

and that was my amateur attempt at AVGN type criticism...I'm very bored.

Post by: Akima on 17 Nov 2014, 13:37
It is actually a silly pseudo-Latin rule. In Latin, infinitive verbs were single words, so they could not be split. Grammar pedants in, I think, the 18th century, to whom Latin was some sort of standard of perfection, imported into English the idea that they should not be split.

I agree. It looks a lot like the Korean markets I go to around here, only with more meat out for the customers to see/pick though. Safety regulations and all. Down to and including tanks of all sorts of live food critters. I haven't seen tanks of frogs yet though.

In SF, I tended to go to Chinese markets almost exclusively (better prices and all).  The live and unknown (since I couldn't read the label) stuff didn't bother me at all, but it was kinda strange when I was on the tram and seeing that there was something in someone's bags that was moving.  It almost made me a veggie.

Ok......the "meat water" sounds pretty nasty.

Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive about this, but isn't is some kind of health hazard to have all that meat loose and out in the open? With everyone picking through it, all I can see is bacteria. I mean....they packaged the frozen reptile parts, why not package the fresh stuff too?


Is this more common than I think?

The "meat water" one is fake; it's a photoshopped VitaminWater label. Plus if it were actually Chinese, it would have Chinese writing on it, and the amount would be in mL instead of fluid ounces.

The only thing out of all of that stuff that seems in any way crazy was the crocodile with an orange in it's mouth. From the couple of times I've eaten crocodile, it doesn't seem like orange would be a good partner food. Also, I wouldn't have thought that the orange would survive the amount of time you would need to spend roasting it.

Of course, that's just based on my limited experience. I'm prepared to accept that there is some kind of crocodile tongue and marmalade delicacy in parts of China and, if you told me that with some degree of sincerity, I would probably give it a go. I'm mindful though that this is exactly the sort of mentality that is responsible for the British appetite for the dish we like to call Vindaloo.

All the other stuff in that link make a lot of sense to me to be selling en masse to Chinese people. I would imagine that you would find a lot of equivalents in American Walmarts. Maybe the live food would have a hard time being pared up. In all honesty, I would rather be cooking with some of the stuff in that gallery than the 10kg bags of minced beef and chicken wings I know you can buy in some Walmarts in the US.

Interesting anecdote for all you USAnians though. I went on to the Walmart website to check if I could link to the huge economy bags of frozen meat. I didn't find it, but I got the usual stuff I would expect like ground beef, jerky, beef sticks etc. Then I noticed there was another check box down the side for Frog. Out of curiosity I selected that as well. No surprises, the bag of pre-prepared frogs legs popped up in the products available. But so did, corned beef, more jerky options, burgers and my personal favourite - steak. I don't have an issue with eating frog, I've quite enjoyed it before, but if I ever come to the US again, I'm going to be very selective about the meat that I eat. This puts the Tesco horsemeat saga look barely off species.

I figured it was bastardized, but I got the impression that it actually started out as an actual dish (southern India, I think)? I tend to gravitate a bit more toward the Punjabi stuff, personally.

According to the Wikipedias (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindaloo), it's a British adaptation of an Indian adaptation of a Portuguese dish.

Another bunch of ninnies falls for the meat-water hoax (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/2011/01/meatwater_is_br.php), but otherwise it just shows how provincial they are; I could show you most of that in the shops round here, though admittedly I live in something of a Chinatown. Nothing unusual to see there, move along.

It is especially hilarious to see the writers amazed that you can buy expensive booze in fancy presentation boxes. I mean... where can't you do that? Islamic states? East Podunk, Nebraska? OK, in Australia you can't by them inside a supermarket, just in the bottle-shop just outside the door that is owned by the supermarket. Because that makes all the difference, right?

The third of those Russian goons to have a go at the boxer is obviously a very slow learner.

Another point of interest. In the West a lot of people are revulsed at sausages and racks of ribs left open to the air but enthuse about well hung steak and spend lavishly on air-cured ham. They like a McMuffin with chicken egg in it but balk at the idea of eggs from other sepcies of bird. I'm not sure how  it is in the rest of the world but Western consumerism is very weirx in it's hyper-homogenisation.

Considering flavored water is something of a thing in the US, it does't surprise me that people would fall for meat water. In fact, I'm surprised nobody has thought of it. As far as fancy boxed liquors go, the surprise was more of a 'they have it in Wal-mart' than anything else. In states where it's legal to sell alchohol in grocery stores, it's common to have a beer and wine section. But it tends to be pretty much just lower-scale bottles and cases of beer. You won't find top shelf liquor.. or often any kind of whiskey at all, at your local Wal-mart or super marts. You would go to a package store for that.

i seem to recall something about him demanding that the duel be held in a 10' deep pit, divided in half by a chest-high fence, so that he could reach his opponent, but his opponent couldn't reach him.

See, that's part of the reason why I don't understand the heavy usage of cars in the city I live in. Of course it can be a hassle to carry your groceries from the mall if you happened to do your shopping there, but asides from that, there aren't many distances longer than 1h of walking. And I say this being a lazy phat bastard. YOU CAN WALK EVERYWHERE IN THIS CITY.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: Neko_Ali on 25 Nov 2014, 12:35
Not everyone can do that though. With my back and legs, walking to the grocery store, which takes slightly under an hour normally, is going to physically wreck me for at least a day. Some days it's particularly bad and I can't even make it to the main road. And then carrying those groceries back is murder on my back. We do have a car culture in the US, where pretty much everyone is expected to own a car and drive it wherever they go. Part of it is consumerism. Buy more, buy more! But a part of it is that most US cities are built in very sprawling, homogeneous zones. The idea of just strolling down to the market just doesn't happen for most people, unless they happen to live close to commercial zones. Even going to the nearest convince store for me is a half hour walk. And this is no where near the worst place I've lived in as far as that goes.

I lived half a mile from my campus. I only walked there like 5 times.

Considering a 10 minute steep downhill walk to my campus, I assume roughly the same distance (half a mile to 1km). Not fun to walk back and then go up the 5 stories of the building my flat is right at the top of, but oh well. Excercise right. Plus, I get there mildly awake.

I also got enough exercise with the whole playing football thing which also mandated workouts 3-4 days a week on top of practice. I think it was more of a time thing, since class and all the football stuff (practice, film, lift, more film) would take so much of the day any time saved was pretty special.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: osaka on 25 Nov 2014, 15:16
I don't only do it for the exercise anyways. It's nigh-impossible to park close to my flat, and equally hard to park within acceptable distance of my campus. It's not hard it actually takes me longer to get to campus than walk there (a perfect driving maneuver would take roughly 8 minutes because of how streets and parking spots are laid out)

It does take me roughly half an hour to go back home, but it's both because of the HEAVY slope (flat is at the highest point of Santander, roughly 100m over sea level, while campus is almost at sea level) and the fatigue from the day of study and overall fooling around. And the 15 pound bag I carry everywhere with my laptop and notebook.

The other day for the first time in my life I saw someone deliberately piss on the floor underneath the urinal. He stood there, started in the urinal, then just deliberately pointed down to the floor for a bit, then finished in the urinal. I have seen disregard for public toilets as long as I can remember but blithely assumed it was accidental mess making coupled with 'oh fuck it someone will clean it', not 'hey let's piss on the floor because LOL'.

Post by: The Seldom Killer on 30 Nov 2014, 13:58
Vegans and vegetarians seem to be more disgusted by a kill date than the part of the label that says "BEST BEFORE DEATH".

That's right, when it comes to labeling food, vegans and vegetarians have no objection if you eat meat as long as the animal is still alive. What a bunch of sick fucks.

That or maybe they should get someone who reads meat packaging labels more frequently than they do to proof read their marketing material.



Also, while I like the idea of a kill date on it, the vast majority of meat eaters know little about the meat preparation process through the slaughterhouse and onward. What I would really like is to get a label telling me the name and location of the farm, what kind of stock the animal came from, what terrain it was raised in, the population density in housing, feed types and feeding regimen, slaughtering process, slaughter date, hanging time, storage methods, and jointing date.

Supermarkets tend to be a bit cagey about this sort of stuff which I why I'm glad I live close to a local, independent butcher who likes to be able to provide at least some of this information.

I have to admit that I once got a bit mardy with a vegetarian who tried to guilt me on the eating meat thing. They then freely admitted that they just tended to buy the cheapest stuff they could and by extension didn't really care about the provenance of their food and whether it's production included fair treatment of workers, ethical methods of horticulture and also dairy management. I was an asshole about it though to managed to lose at winning an argument.
Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: Method of Madness on 30 Nov 2014, 14:05
Ha, it's a fake label saying an animal is best before death not to eat, but it's just better alive. They want the killed on date to remind people it was a living animal once. I mean...I get it, but it backfires because a killed on date would also be useful for practical reasons.

What I would really like is to get a label telling me the name and location of the farm, what kind of stock the animal came from, what terrain it was raised in, the population density in housing, feed types and feeding regimen, slaughtering process, slaughter date, hanging time, storage methods, and jointing date.

Yeah. Also that kind of labeling will never happen, since only a minority of farms and slaughterhouses operate ethically sound. Nooo way factory farms would ever let people know how their animals are treated.

white tail deer used to be near-endangered in the Eastern US.
not anymore.
now days, they're borderline nuisance animals.
it is because they've gotten so populous, that the Wasting Disease has killed so many.
and even with a 20% die off, they're so many that several states are looking at
increasing the bag limits for hunting.
The 'resurgence' of the American Chestnut tree was nipped in the bud by the deer population explosion of the 70s.

Yeah. fuck deer.  I just wished I could've afforded a hunting license this year.  :(

with the St. Matthew island situation, that was a HUGE natural resource wastage.
by my reckoning, starting in 1960, if 1500-1700 animals per year had been harvested, there would still be a healthy herd  on the island today.
Given that the North American Caribou/Reindeer average nearly 200kg, that is a mind boggling waste.

it's like having a cattle herd and not tending to it.

Putting a "killed on" date on food packaging says nothing about how the animals are treated. I think it is a fantasy that people somehow don't know that animals are killed for food. Sure they prefer to distance themselves from it, in the same way that they prefer to distance themselves from violence against humans by hiring cops and soldiers to do the skull-cracking and life-taking for them. But that does not mean that they do not know; it is just gift wrapping on not actually caring. Wrapping yourself in a white sheet because you only buy free-range is essentially a displacement activity, ignoring the roughly 80% of humanity that lives on less than US$10 per day now, but quite understandably aspires to eating diets as rich in protein as yours. Take a look at this map, and imagine everyone in Africa, China, and India eating as much meat as you...

Forum regulars know that I do not eat meat (https://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,27639.msg1064888.html#msg1064888), and I do not believe there is a "right" way to raise and slaughter animals for the table. For obvious reasons, I'm not exactly a fan of hunting. I think there are more efficient and humane ways than hunting of controlling non-human animal populations in the grotesquely unbalanced ecosystems that we have created (and then we blame the deer!!!). I have a modest proposal for ethical hunting: The hunters should be licensed to hunt each other, and the mutual consent would remove the ethical problem. If they choose to eat their kills, so be it. Bon appétit!

My (now ex) girlfriend took the attitude that she only ate the meat of animals she thought she could kill with her bare hands in the wild. A weirdly logical approach, I thought. So largely prawns, fish. Smaller things.

Fish and prawns are tricky, and probably the worst things you can eat if you want to save the environment, since in our part of the world the stuff you get in stores are mostly fished with trawls, which wrecks the ocean bottom and is extremely wasteful since they fish a LOT in one go and throw out everything they don't need (which is most of it). In theory it might work, in reality it's not the best approach.

I have a problem with hunters who don't use as much of the animal as possible, or kill in an inhumane manner.  But if a hunter takes out Bambi or Daffy or Bugs with one shot, and makes as much use of the carcass as possible, I respect that.  I do have an uncle who hunts occasionally (he used to more frequently), who believes that no one should be allowed to eat meat as an adult if they haven't at least once killed it theirselves.

Also, while I like the idea of a kill date on it, the vast majority of meat eaters know little about the meat preparation process through the slaughterhouse and onward. What I would really like is to get a label telling me the name and location of the farm, what kind of stock the animal came from, what terrain it was raised in, the population density in housing, feed types and feeding regimen, slaughtering process, slaughter date, hanging time, storage methods, and jointing date.

Most of the time, we know exactly where our meat and veggies come from.  Sure, some stuff comes from a supermarket, that's inevitable.

I guess I shouldn't eat as much meat as I do because of the slew of environmental degradation it causes (especially the fish and beef industry). It's definitely one of the things I let myself be a complete hypocrite about. I do always try to finish my food at least. Higher trophic levels first of course, just in case I don't finish.

I have no problem with people hunting at all- go for it! It's a great way to feed your family for cheap (and I know of some people that just want an excuse to shoot things...at least it's productive to do it that way).

My problem is the fact that my Facebook feed turns into a bloodbath on the first day of hunting season. You can almost hear every post yelling "Look what I did!". It tapers off after that to just a few dead animals a week but the first day is sickening.



I understand that the meat I eat comes from animals- that doesn't mean I want to watch the entire process, regardless of how "humane" it is.

Those who rag on hunters typically don't realize that hunters are among the largest contributors to conservation efforts.  Where do you think the money for game licenses and whatnot goes?

And yes, I eat what I kill.  I hunt because one, I like the taste of the meat better ("gamey" is called flavor, people, something that beef and pork lacks).  Two, I know exactly where my meat came from and how it was processed.  Three, I'm not contributing to the pollution generated by factory farms.  And four, the meat isn't loaded with hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals.  Just some of the reasons why I take my own meat.

I have no problem with hunters (just don't get me started on killing for sport). Minor quibble: beef, chicken, and pork don't lack flavor if they're raised properly. It's just the industrial crap that's tasteless and largely interchangeable.

That's the second oldest nautical joke in the history of humankind, the earliest recorded version is a two line variant in the 1930s (thanks Snopes!) and it gets passed around and the origin speculated on in Proceedings, the magazine of the U.S. Naval Institute every now and then. There's of course variants for various powers (my favorite variant is an Irish lighthouse vs. the HMS Britannia and her escorts) but I'd wager it's so old that it predates radio, and quite possibly the age of sail entirely. 

The oldest nautical joke in the history of humankind is of course completely untranslatable to you land dwelling types, but rest assured it is absolutely hilarious.


And now my favorite Aviation joke: Mankind has a perfect record in Aviation. We've never left one up there.

Second favorite: There's a lot in common between ATC (Air Traffic Control and Pilots), if the pilot messes up, the pilot dies. If ATC messes up, the pilot dies.

However, there is the best radio transcript story ever, and it is 100% true courtesy of the SR-71 Blackbird program: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/favorite-sr-71-story-1079127041

My favorite aviation gag is flying with a new pilot we just had transfer in from a fighter squadron, in some of the busiest airspace on earth (SoCal), one of my jobs was basically looking out both windows in case Central "forgot" where it had a bird or two, or the bug smashers who didn't really get plotted surprised us. We very nearly got ran over a few times by various aircraft so it was serious duty.
Me: "Twin engine prop plane, 9 o'clock high!"
New Pilot: "I have him, tally ho!" *banks our aircraft like he's moving to engage*
Me: "Sir, we're unarmed remember?"
Aircraft Commander's laughing his ass off as the Major puts us back on course.

Another good one, I was flying with my base Commanding Officer, a former test pilot and hell of an aviator. Completely out of his mind, but in a fun way.
CO: Yuma Tower, this is Yuma 300, requesting clearance to land on runway 35 from the right break."
Now that particular request implies a VERY tight, like up on the wing tip right turn then snapping to level to land, it's close to exceeding our roll tolerances in our platform, and is more common in things like fighter jets. I know this. Tower knows this. The Colonel knows this. So in the back we're scrambling to secure our gear and strap in extra tight.
Tower: "Ah... Yuma 300, aren't you a C12?"
CO: "Correct tower."
Tower: "...is this Col <name>?"
CO: "Correct tower."
Tower: "Ahhh... copy that sir, cleared to 35 from the right break"
CO: "Thank you tower."

Some more legendary ATC quotes:

During taxi at Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest in the world, the crew of a US Air departure flight to Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.
The irate ground controller (a female) lashed out at the US Air crew screaming "US Air 2771, where are you going? I told you to turn right on Charlie taxiway; you turned right on Delta. Stop right there. I know it's difficult to tell the difference between C's and D's but get it right".
Continuing her tongue lashing to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically, "God, you've screwed everything up; it'll take forever to sort this out. You stay right there and don't move until I tell you to. You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about a half hour and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you. You got that, US Air 2771??"
The humbled crew responded: "Yes Ma'am".
Naturally, the ground control frequency went terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air Flight 2771. No one wanted to engage the irate ground controller in her current state. Tension in every cockpit on the ground was running high. Shortly after the controller finished her admonishment of the U.S. Air crew, an unknown male pilot broke the silence and asked: "Wasn't I married to you once?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A DC-10 had an exceedingly long roll out after landing with his
approach speed just a little too high.
San Jose Tower: "American 751 heavy, turn right at the end, if able. If not able, take the Guadeloupe exit off of Highway 101 and make a right at the light to return to the airport."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a really nice day, right about dusk, and a Piper Malibu
was being vectored into a long line of airliners in order to land at Kansas
City.
KC Approach: "Malibu three two-Charlie, you're following a 727,
one o'clock and three miles."
Three-two-Charlie: "We've got him. We'll follow him."
KC Approach: "Delta 105, your traffic to follow is a Malibu, eleven o'clock and three miles. Do you have that traffic?"
Delta 105 (long pause and then in a thick southern drawl): "Well...I've got something down there. Can't quite tell if it's a Malibu or a Chevelle, though."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unknown Aircraft: "I'm f...ing bored!"
Air Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!!"
Unknown Aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!"

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure ... by the way,

runway."
Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on
124.7; did you copy the report from Eastern?"
Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff roger; and yes,
we copied Eastern and we've already notified our caterers."

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a PanAm 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747 (call sign "Speedbird 206") after landing:
Speedbird 206: "Top of the morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active runway."
Ground: "Guten morgen! You vill taxi to your gate!"
The big British Airways 747 pulled onto the main taxi way and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know vare you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by a moment ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with some arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, haff you never flow to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, I have, in 1944. In another type of Boeing, but just to drop something off, I didn't stop."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was a Pan Am 727 Flight Engineer waiting for start clearance in Munich, Germany. I was listening to the radio since I was the junior crew member. This was the conversation I overheard:
Lufthansa: (In German) "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground: (In English) "If you want an answer you must speak English."
Luft: (In English) "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Before ground could answer someone replied in a beautiful British accent: "Because you lost the bloody war!"

Lufthansa 34 over Cleveland Center at 3:00 in the morning.

"Cleveland Center, Lufthansa 34 over Cleveland at flight level 39ner zero....you know, ve have vays to make you talk".

Aviation jokes

Do you know the one about the Aeroflot craft approaching an Italian airport? They requested an emergency landing due to equipment failure and a small cockpit fire. As the control tower started to panic and scramble emergency services and fire trucks the pilot calmly told them not to bother, the last four emergency landings had been the same and they didn't want the fire trucks to mess up the remaining equipment that was working.

Then there's the story of two Traffic Cops on the Yorkshire coast.


They were running the usual Speedtrap with the then standard Speed Gun when suddenly it made this weird noise, registered '555' then went dead.  No matter what they did, they couldn't get it going again.

Two days later, after an investigation, they learned what had happened

Two Tornado Fighter Bombers were running an exercise off the Coast about 50-100 Kilometers from where the two Cops were running their Speedtrap.  One Tornados Radar Warning System detected the Cops Radar, jammed it, and since they were on a Live exercise, targeted it and automatically locked it up with a HARM Missile.  Fortunately, the Pilot, realising that the system had locked up a target INLAND from their Exercise Area, flipped his system to 'Safe', thus preventing a missile launch.

When I worked for the Australian tentacle of a vast multinational kraken, I used to travel for work regularly. Mostly this was on large airliners into big airports, but that C12 reminds me of the sort of planes on which I travelled to a small airfield (I won't dignify it with "airport", since of its two runways, one was a grass strip) in New Zealand. When the pilots turned onto final, it always seemed as if the plane was standing on a wingtip. I'm sure it wasn't really, but compared to the gentle turns made by the "heavies", the bank certainly felt very steep.

There's a legendary variant of that involving a Marine F-18D and the California Highway Patrol

Top this for a speeding ticket:

Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, North of MCAS Miramar. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching near the crest of a hill.

The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300+ miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and turned off.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked onto a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.

Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander.

Back came a reply in true USMC style:

Thank you for the message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it. Furthermore, an air to ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the Highly Trained Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched and your hostile radar was destroyed. We'd also like to include a comment from the pilot, who's high powered imaging system got a couple images of the officers in question as he passed over, and he'd like to inform the officer on the right that his holster was undone.

Thank you for your concerns.

Yours most sincerely.
Col James Arden, USMC, Commanding

When I say the plane was up on a wing tip I mean I was literally only held into my seat by my harness. The C12 can't exceed a certain amount of roll per it's tolerances, that T tail in the back for example would stop us doing a complete 360. Remember that is of course platform specific tolerances, so depending on the bird you were riding in question, tolerance might have been a bit higher, however the bank itself probably just looked and felt extreme compared to normal, commercial pilots don't even begin to flirt with tolerances most of the time, that's a good way to get written up.

My favourite aerial manouver that I ever saw was when I was cycling past Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire. I say cycling, I had such a tailwind I was barely touching the pedals. I'd seen this glider circling earlier and had a look over my shoulder to see what they were up to. At this point he was pushing a pretty steep descent pretty much right behind me. As he came past he was banking pretty much wings vertical. From my perspective he spun 180 on the wing tip and came to a flat stall right over the A429, a fairly busy road. He then seemed to wait for the wind to lift his nose up a couple of feet before making a fairly cheeky dive into a field and coming to a dead stop in probably no more than 20 metres.

I can only imagine that he then scheduled an immediate orchidectomy as bells that big have got to be unnecessary dead weight in a glider.

Fairly standard fare about a Three Star General who yet again finds that the microwave near his office has been half-inched. Keen to reheat Mrs General's lovely hotpot as he faces a long tactical nightshift planning countermeasures against a tricky enemy he stomps all over the base getting angrier as each kitchen has a microwave shaped hole in it. When not one is to be found and confounded by why someone would want to steal multiple appliances he rounds up the whole base and goes Seargent Hartman on them.

One of the lab coats from WeapDev pops a skinny hand in the air and does the big reveal. He's been rigging microwaves to power packs, breaking the door off and jemming the safety latch. He plonks them down about 3 miles towards the enemy and flicks the switch. The enemy's nightly raid targets the decoy allowing time for the local flyboys to go dogfighting fully supported by a still functioning radar system. Looks like he's been solely responsible for the recent turning tide in tactical fortunes. Even better than that, he invites Three Star to use the lab coats secret microwave. Medals and all round and the General gets a nosh IYSWIM.

Oh yes, especially in connection with the NATO bombing campaign over Yugoslavia in 1999. Apparently you just jemmy off the door, wedge the switch that normally prevents the oven working with the door open, point it at the sky and anti-radar missiles will home on its birthday-candle flame (probably at the wrong frequency, pulse rate etc. etc. but I am not a radar technician) rather than the blast-furnace of an air-defence radar.

Unlike the new Ambassadors to Hungary and Argentina I can speak some of the local language, I understand some of the local culture, and I have in fact been to the country I would be Ambassador to, and have a solid understanding of some of the vital U.S. interests in the area, including U.S. military activities on Japanese soil and in Japanese waters.

Feathers are generally very good at keeping water out, but the feathers of cormorants are specially adapted to be not waterproof to facilitate their underwater hunting. Here's a clip of a cormorant diving 45m (150ft) in search of lunch:
Cormorants are awesome! Their hunting behaviour can be useful to people:
Incidentally, are the cormorants any more "slaves" than hunting-dogs, sheep-dogs or indeed any other domesticated animals? Does the BBC use the same vocabulary to describe all human exploitation of all animals? Not in my observation; there's no mention of slavery here, for example:

No, if it's ignored, it says that the request is pending, if it's denied, the add friend option is there again.

And that's the reason to ignore. If you deny, the request comes back at you. It's happened to me multiple times.

Ok, most of those are pretty disrespectful (as I expected).

But as far as I know, sex shouldn't sound different just because the people engaged in the act are deaf. Seriously. There's dumb questions and there's THAT.

(Now, a philosophical question on the lines of "if two deaf people have sex in the middle of the forest and nobody else is around, does it make a sound?", while terribly disrespectful in my humble opinion, COULD be in order)

today on the news: firefighters brawl while fighting fire. That happened for real in my state.
Used to happen all the time in the days of private firefighting crews; they only got paid for the fires they put out (and also looted the burning houses), so they'd send runners ahead with barrels to clap over the water source.  Then he'd sit on the barrel, fight off the runners from the other fire companies, and hope his team got there before a whole company turned up to beat him to a pulp.  As often as not, two or more companies would arrive close to simultaneously, get up a brawl over who'd fight the fire, leaving the answer to be 'nobody' and the whole neighborhood to burn.  This is why we don't do it that way anymore.

Just my own opinion here but I'm find the term "total nutter" or indeed just "nutter" as a descriptor for people with mental illnesses to be completely inappropriate. It feels very othering and I'm hoping that we can agree that this is a thing that we don't actually do.

Post by: hedgie on 08 Dec 2014, 04:10
Sorry about that.  I do have several diagnosed mental illnesses myself, and have actually spent time in hospital for them, on more than one occasion.  I do have a bad habit about being rather cavalier about the subject, after I started being more open about my own experiences, in order to *diminish* the otherness and personal feeling of stigma.  I'll try to be more careful about my language in the future, but there's obviously something wrong with this person.

How about if we use the term "nutter" or the like to talk about someone who's otherwise mentally stable who does something crazy & stupid? Then you're not making fun of the mentally different, but rather an individual who made a bad decision.

It's also a great representation of how data arrives at places. With the Serial bus, you get a more or less consistent stream of 50 kids every minute. With the Parallel bus, you get all 7000 kids at a time, but after a while.

Which explains why most peripherals nowadays have moved into the USB connection paradigm. Nobody wants to suddenly deal with 7000 kids.

Post by: J on 11 Dec 2014, 18:27
12 inches in a foot.

the advantage of 12 is that you can easily divide it up into 2s, 3s, 4s, and 6s, which is handy for everyday usage. what's really fucked is the number of feet in a mile: 5280, which is 8 furlongs. a furlong is equivalent to 660 feet, 220 yards, 40 rods, or 10 chains, which nobody anywhere ever uses!

basing everything on 10 is good for doing hard math, but 10 can only divide cleanly into 2s and 5s.

what we really need to do is switch our entire global society over to a base-12 number system.

Well, frozen or fried would have to replace "dead" in order to cover both ends.  Even then, basing temperature based off of comfort makes it too subjective.  What I find to be "comfortable" and "hot" are a bit lower than most people in this part of my state.  I don't consider it "cold" unless something is frozen.

I'm in New England so the weather is just balls all the time... I wanna say that that's where about 80% of our assholery comes from. It basically goes from "fuck, it's cold" to "fuck, it's hot" with some sprinkling of "fuck, I don't even know".

I've lived in Scotland, also lived in a part of San Francisco where we didn't see the sun for two months one summer (I was happy).  I never turn on the heat.  Just throw on extra layers of clothing, or in my bedroom, let my over-clocked desktop provide the heating.

The best of both worlds would jump 10 per hour and 4 per minute/second. Sure, you'd only get EF (or a bit higher depending on where you start), but it'd be consistent while covering a wider range of colors.

Are you suggesting that you may actually go see The Last Airbender? You're a little too masochistic, don't you think?

And I just wanna say: all the good people are white and all the bad people are Indian in that movie. Not again Hollywood! AHHHHHH

I can confirm, as a Floridian, that we are indeed aware. The Fark tag is kind of a dead giveaway. It's all in good fun, like violent New Yorkers, or flaky Californians.

Could be worse.  I've woken up because I was suffocating because a cat thought my face was the perfect place to sleep, cutting off the airways.  I'd rather have to look into the arse of Sauron than endure that again.

My cat had a very complex "wake human up so he can feed me" system. First of, he would wail in front of my bedroom door. Oh, the wailing, it was horrible. "MOOOOOWWWWW, MOWWWWWWWWW", and so on. If I didn't bother with it, he'd run from one end of the hallway to the other and back again, with that stomping sound that only cats manage when they're angry. If the combined efforts of wailing and stomping didn't work, he'd open my bedroom door (a feat he learned very quickly) and wail next to my bed.

If all of these didn't work, he'd attack my feet.

Masterpiece, it sounds like your cat would have gotten along very well with mine. She does something very similar but she'll do it any time of day. If we've ignored her and her bowl is empty* when we go to bed, she'll wake us up at 4am, chewing on whatever plastic she can find.

Even if you could get past the taste of the leather shoe polish described above, a photography-ready hamburger would be unpleasant to deal with, as they are typically loaded with sheets of cardboard for support and toothpicks or pins that have been strategically placed to keep lettuce, onion, and the rest of the package in their specifically staged place.

Nah, food stylists do a lot of work.  When I was doing a lighting assignment for a photography course, the bar owner was extremely careful to wipe the moisture off the drinks.  Her husband was a pro photographer, and she knew a bit about styling food/drinks.  Though I did drink that martini, there's no way in hell where I'd eat anything a food stylist touched.

And then there's this guy. The ballsiest human being on Earth. ISIS likes to leave high explosives/IEDs scattered all over villages they occupy in case they get beaten back, or as part of their exit strategy when they do. This Kurdish Peshmerga fighter is disarming these IEDs in Northern Iraq so people can return to their homes safely after the Peshmerga drove off ISIS. He's also doing it more casually then you tie your shoes in the morning.

Does good beer ever even get advertised?

Good beer, worthy of italicising? No, at least not on any grand scale.

There's some decent beers that get made on a big scale but describing them as good is a bit of a stretch. They're the beers that set the bar for acceptable.

Good beers aren't made on that sort of scale. Mostly this is because once you get up to that sort of scale, you aren't who's main thrusts are passion, quality and character. Good beers are brewed on a smaller scale and rarely get shipped out of the region. Thus a national scale marketing budget would be wasted. Some breweries around here don't even advertise on a small scale or even bother bottling their product. It just goes straight to pump and locals are guaranteed to drink almost every batch dry.

5. We're getting closer to that too (http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/products/compact-fusion.html) (and that's just one example in the works)

I'm inclined to say fart noise towards all of those claims (except 4 and 6). But, to be fair, I haven't read any science papers in a while, so maybe I missed something.

3 seems the most unlikely, 5 has always been "almost there" it seems, 1 the costs are still staggering and technically the US also wants one, but the return is just so little. 2, maybe small ones? I can see some being cost effective, but certainly not 100s of miles long ones, which is usually what people are talking about when they mention those types of engineering projects.

I have no idea why I wrote these all out of order like that...

Also not likely to happen any time soon, even if we did have the tech.  It's still going to be less expensive to pay someone minimum wage (or less if they're undocumented) than it is to get a robot.  Plus, the whole economy would have to be geared to create a massive welfare state in order for the humans to be able to live decently and avoid the drudgery.

Much of the scarcity is artificial.  Especially with how much agricultural land (at least in the US) is wasted growing maize for fuel additives.  Depending on population density, the main resource that is finite is that which gives one a place to live.  Things like public transport, and building up and not out would help end our oil addiction.

Well, if we're talking economics, scarcity can be attributed to any want that is not infinite (infinite in the sense that we cannot out use it even while using it for everything we want it for - like air, barring any spaceball vacuum sucking).

If you want to attribute scarcity to everything everyone should have, well then I guess that's different. Though most people have a different list for what those things are.

The fact that there is a security checkpoint for the bear airport (or should I say, bearport) implies that there are certain bears who have malicious intent to blow up the bearplanes.  There are bearrorists in this universe that aspire to destroy things that these ass-wiping mammals hold near and dear.
that bear is naked

Bunch of gosh darn elitist, anti-ketchup people. Stuck up I tell ya.
Stuck up nothing, it just tastes gross :roll:

not much of a tomato person are ya, can't blame you, though I like my ketchup but to each his own.
It's weird, I like tomato sauce enough (like on pizza or pasta), and I think barbecue sauce is fine, and sundried tomatoes are good sometimes. But ketchup or raw tomatoes? Yuck.

Unless you make it yourself, tomato ketchup doesn't taste like tomatoes anyway. The stuff in bottles, foil-sachets etc. tastes mainly of sugar/syrup, vinegar, and salt. Ketchup is another good Chinese food ruined by excessive sweetening in the West. :P

Agreed.  The best Chinese food I've had was made by a Vietnam-born culturally and ethnically Cantonese friend of mine, who made it the proper way.  Second best is probably some hole in the wall places in SF, where the specials weren't even given an English translation, and despite the language-barrier, I'd order one or two of them.  Usually very pleased, although one time, it taught me that I hate the taste of frog.

There really is no "proper way". China is a fairly big place with a broad diversity of races, tribes (really want a better word than that), cultural histories and heritages all of which show some variations in food and how to cook it "properly". Yes, a lot of Takeaway in western countries places will churn out the same cartons of gloopy food but that's mostly because that's what the local wholesaler will churn out from some factory far, far away and that's what the locals are used to and are happy with. However, don't get drawn into this label of Chinese authenticity on what are a lot of pan-Asian dishes that can be "authentically" cooked in a very wide variety of ways. In reality, as long as you use fresh, seasonal or commonly preserved indigenous ingredients cooked using common methods and simple utensils then chances are that it will be "authentic" to someone, somewhere.

Of course, I'm barely a shade above clueless when it comes to China and Chinese food. This is just a universal thing. Even in a country as small as Italy, you'll barely get consensus from one town to another on the "proper way" to make meatballs or lasagna. Proper way only begins to garner a glimmer of meaning and credibility if the eatery starts referring to a region.

As for frog, you're doing yourself a disservice if you write it off until you've tried the French, Cajun, Ghanain, Chilean and indeed many other ways of cooking it. All of which produce quite different results.

Edited to add that people should be aware that while frog is very tasty, farming and preparation methods are frequently fraught with ethical failings.

Well, I expect that in terms of the way I used "proper", it was the way that the locals to his family's town/area did it.  Saying "X" country's food ought to be made, for whatever value of "X" is silly at best, stereotyping at worst.  It's just that, like, as I described in my previous post, that was the best Chinese food that I have had, barring some small places.  You get any country bigger than a postage stamp, you'll have many variations even on the same thing.  I was just pointing out that forms of "X" food are generally adapted to the tastes of the country/region that one lives in.  Kinda like the time I was talking to the owner of a Pakistani place near where I used to live in SF, and we were having a smoke and he mentioned to me how he had to explain to his parents parents what chicken-tikka was, since it was invented in the UK (for "British" tastes), and imported into the US.

Post by: Neko_Ali on 09 Jan 2015, 05:47
Mmm, the idea of Chinese food (or any kind of food really) not being made the 'proper' way in the US is that, especially for mass-market prepared food, it is made as cheaply as possible and usually super sweet. A lot of cheaper places will use the same pre-made and frozen chicken nuggets or strips of beef and pork for every dish, only swapping out one over-sweet high fructose syrup for the sauces to make the different dishes. It is not good, but it is super cheap and easy...

OKAY FRIENDS SINCE YOU LIKE HEARING ABOUT 13 YEAR OLDS GETTING OWNED LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ONE OF MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR AS AN EMPLOYEE OF GAMESTOP.
It was spring 2014, early in the week.  Pretty sure it was a Tuesday, but it’s been awhile.  It was so dead in our store, I hadn’t seen anyone in over 40 minutes.  Eventually, in comes this mom and we start chatting.  She said she was here to buy her son a game he wanted, Grand Theft Auto 5, and could I help her find it?
Now, I’m sure many of you are aware how awful Grand Theft Auto 5 is in terms of violence, gore, and sexism.  But in case you don’t, the Grand Theft Auto series has always been one of the most violent series that you can buy in stores.  The very first GTA was banned in Brazil and condemned in several countries, GTA 5 has a graphic torture scene that is player initiated.  GTA: San Andreas had the Hot Coffee scandal which happened in 2004 when modders found unused code in the game for a sex minigame that was player controlled.  And that’s only the beginning of the controversies surrounding the GTA series (click here to read more! X X X X X X X )
Anyways, back to me and the Mom.  Who will now be referred to as Mom because she is that awesome.  Since I was behind the counter I pulled a copy of GTA 5 from backstock and started ringing her up while making polite chitchat, the usual cashier stuff.  But everything changed when I asked for her ID because of the M rating.  At first Mom replied, “Oh sure thing let me grab it.”  And started digging in her purse.  But then what I said registered with her and she paused and looked at me.
"M rating?  What does that mean?"
"Oh GTA 5 is rated M for violence, gore, bad language, and other stuff".  I won’t bore you with the whole spiel I go into when I’m asked about the M rating but basically I just explain why the game is rated M, what the M rating means, and that they can go on ESRB.org to see why it got that rating.
So I tell Mom about the website and she whips out her cell phone and gets on the site and starts reading.  And she got MAD.  She starts telling me about how her son knows she doesn’t like this sort of game and how he is going to be in so much trouble because he knows better than to ask for this sort of thing as she doesn’t tolerate this in her house.  And he is so grounded for thinking he could get away with this.  Then, Mom looked me in the eye and asked me to look up several other games for her to see if he’d done this with any other games.
"Yea sure thing, which games would you like me to look up?"
"Bioshock 2."
"I can already tell you without looking that Bioshock 2 is rated M."
"MY CHILD IS SO GROUNDED FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.  What about the first Bioshock?"
"Yep, that’s also rated M."
"OH MY GOSH, what about Gears of War?"
"That entire series is rated M."
To spare y’all from another 10 rounds of that, basically take every popular M rated title from the last 5 years and insert them in the above dialogue.
Eventually, Mom says “Oh my gosh, you must think me a horrible parent.  I can’t believe I let him have those games.”
"Ma’am, I don’t think that at all.  The fact that you’re concerned about this tells me that you are a good parent.  And just so you know instead of throwing out those games you’re more than welcome to trade them in here and get some store credit or cash back for them."
"Really?  I’ll have to do that, I don’t want him playing those games anymore."
"Yea, we also take gaming consoles, iphones, and tablets too!"
"Oh that’s wonderful!  Thank you for being so patient with me and telling me all about this. I’m going home and to go through his gaming collection right now!"
And off she went, leaving me bored till I finally got to leave for the night.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE END.  THIS IS WHEN SHIT GETS AWESOME.
The next day I’m working again, bored out of my goddamn mind.  There’s only so many times you can alphabetize the store before going insane.  As I’m looking out the window I see a car pull up and Mom hops out and then pulls out two huge duffel bags and walks in.
"Hey welcome back to Gamestop!  What can I help you with!"
"Oh I’m so glad you’re here!  So last night I went through my son’s game collection and most of them are rated M!  So I decided to teach him a lesson about why you don’t lie to your mother.  Seeing as I bought him these consoles and most of the games were bought with my money, his game consoles and games actually belong to me.  Therefore, I would like to trade in all this."  And proceeds to pull out his XBox 360, PS3, and every game he had for both consoles (over 50!) as well all the extra controllers and headsets he had.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely."  I will never forget her smile when she said this nor the look in her eye.  This is not a woman to be crossed.
So I traded everything in and she got back over $300 in store credit for everything.  And with it she bought a Wii, a couple extra controllers, and a couple games rated E.  Then she looked me in the eye and asked if we had any extra boxes laying around for the XBox One and if so could she have one?
"Are you going to put the Wii in it and give it to him?"
"Yes.  Along with a note saying that this is what happens when you abuse the trust of your mother.  I’m going to make sure this never happens again."  It is at this point that Mom ascended to God Tier status with all Gamestop employees falling to their knees for a chance to bask in her glory.
I got her an XBox One box and sent her on her way after asking her to take the survey on the receipt.
"Oh of course dear, you’ve been such a big help.  Let me write down your name so I don’t forget it."
"Of course!  I’m Lexi, but if your son asks my name is Deegan."  (Deegan was my store’s manager at the time.
And then she left, leaving me with the best trade numbers of the month and the greatest story I’ll likely ever be apart of at GameStop.  Mom, I never got your name, but you are my personal Gamestop Hero.

Isn't that theft? If they were indeed his consoles, games, peripherals, etc., then I'm pretty sure the money they were bought with is irrelevant.

"Yes. "

So the mother - who was livid that she had been lied to by her son - was going to lie to her son. Hypocrite.

Saw that on yahoo, I had to stop reading it halfway through. That shit disgusts me. Even when watching anime, if they have some incesty stuff going on I have to skip over it till it's over. Doesn't help that in Japan dating cousins isn't seen as weird, apparently.

And to pilchard:

1.) No, everything rightfully belongs to the mother, a child (I'm assuming they're pretty young) has no legal standing if he hasn't been emancipated. He has rights, of course, but not in the concept of ownership.

2.) I view it as more of a lesson than being a hypocrite, i'd probably do it in another way, but it shows how lies hurt people and in this way it's firsthand experience.

3.) Frankly kids don't get enough tough love IMO. Not talking about hitting kids or anything, but coddling your kids and giving them everything they want? That's much worse.

I agree Scandinavia has been painted ridiculously rosy by certain foreign media outlets in the past few years (*cough* Guardian and HuffPo *cough*), and we're definitely not a utopia, but I don't agree with the reasoning in that article at all. Until someone finds a way of supporting and lifting everyone in a society up as far as they can be lifted, I definitely prefer everyone being at the same middle class, average level than having a few ultra rich people and a lot of poverty. People in Scandinavia who strive for success have the option and ability to move abroad after all, while poor people in countries with disproportionate wealth/income levels often don't even have a basic support system to rely on. I'd rather be a bored Scandinavian than a struggling American.

This is probably a little on point for this thread though.

How does this belong in the pointless thread? Is the idea that people will feel constrained from discussing it, because this is not the place for serious business? This at least is better than the sexist and racist stuff we sometimes get in here, where, if you respond, people jump on you for being "aggressive", but it's still kind of the drive-by-shooting of forum activity.

Yes, actually.  My parents had a rule.  If I lied, I got swatted.  I look at me as an adult, and all the people my age who were pampered little shits when they were kids, and I'm much better adjusted.  I understand the value of hard work, I don't expect the world to give me anything for free, and I'm fairly honest.

I never been. Sorry. Sure it's wonderful. However, I have been to Tivoli. And sitting at night on a warm sheep skin with girlfriend and with music and twinkling lights and stuff just makes for a spectacular way of forever thinking Tivoli is awesome.

I even drank tea there. THAT awesome.

I’m sure people know this, but for those of you who don’t, alligators and crocodiles (this is a gator) have some of the most powerful jaws on earth—if they’re biting down. their muscles are made to clamp and hold while its body twists, taking down its prey and (typically) drowning it. however, they have next to no opening power, meaning this crab’s claw has rendered this gator almost powerless

That's the thing about evil, which I think is why I can't stand superhero/supervillain-type stories. If you ask the typical comic supervillain why he does evil things, he'll reply "because I enjoy being evil." If you ask a real person why he does evil things, he'll say "I'm not doing evil, I'm doing good things. Those other guys are the evil ones." Because nobody, including Hitler, does evil things willingly. They do evil things because they think they're doing good things.

Dinosaurs in the Hood

BY DANEZ SMITH
Let's make a movie called Dinosaurs in the Hood.
Jurassic Park meets Friday meets The Pursuit of Happyness.
There should be a scene where a little black boy is playing
with a toy dinosaur on the bus, then looks out the window
& sees the T. Rex, because there has to be a T. Rex.

Don't let Tarantino direct this. In his version, the boy plays
with a gun, the metaphor: black boys toy with their own lives,
the foreshadow to his end, the spitting image of his father.
Fuck that, the kid has a plastic Brontosaurus or Triceratops
& this is his proof of magic or God or Santa. I want a scene

where a cop car gets pooped on by a pterodactyl, a scene
where the corner store turns into a battle ground. Don't let
the Wayans brothers in this movie. I don't want any racist shit
about Asian people or overused Latino stereotypes.
This movie is about a neighborhood of royal folks —

children of slaves & immigrants & addicts & exiles — saving their town
from real-ass dinosaurs. I don't want some cheesy yet progressive
Hmong sexy hot dude hero with a funny yet strong commanding
black girl buddy-cop film. This is not a vehicle for Will Smith
& Sofia Vergara. I want grandmas on the front porch taking out raptors

with guns they hid in walls & under mattresses. I want those little spitty,
screamy dinosaurs. I want Cicely Tyson to make a speech, maybe two.
I want Viola Davis to save the city in the last scene with a black fist afro pick
through the last dinosaur's long, cold-blood neck. But this can't be
a black movie. This can't be a black movie. This movie can't be dismissed

because of its cast or its audience. This movie can't be a metaphor
for black people & extinction. This movie can't be about race.
This movie can't be about black pain or cause black people pain.
This movie can't be about a long history of having a long history with hurt.
This movie can't be about race. Nobody can say nigga in this movie

who can't say it to my face in public. No chicken jokes in this movie.
No bullets in the heroes. & no one kills the black boy. & no one kills
the black boy. & no one kills the black boy. Besides, the only reason
I want to make this is for that first scene anyway: the little black boy
on the bus with a toy dinosaur, his eyes wide & endless
his dreams possible, pulsing, & right there.

So in World of Warcraft, your character gets their own garrison.  In this garrison are target dummies so you can practice your tanking, dpsing, or healing abilities.  The tank and dps dummies used to be right next to each other, which lead to a lot of dps'ers dying because the tank dummy was hitting them for ridiculous damage if they stood in the wrong place.  Blizzard swapped the positions of the healing and dps dummies to fix this, and while I'm glad they did, I wish they'd moved the dummies farther apart, because even when I stand as far from the tank dummy as I can while hitting the dps dummy, my cleave attacks are still hitting the tank dummy (it can't hit me because I'm too far out of range, but I can still hit it??).

If you're wondering why I'm not posting this on the WoW forums, it's because I've been around long enough to know how Blizz works.  It goes something like this:

Players: Hey Blizz?  Thanks for moving the dummies so the tank one doesn't gib us, but our cleaves are still hitting it from like ten yards away.  Can you move them farther apart?

Blizz: Sure, we'll take a look.

Players:  Cool, thanks!

*next hotfix/patch notes*
...
- All melee cleave ranges have been reduced by five(5) yards
...

Players:  WTF BLIZZ???!!

Blizz: We fixed an issue where players were unintentionally hitting two dummies with cleave attacks, what's the problem?

Players: ...

-----
I just want a solitary dummy that I can practice single target dps on -.-

Race car is the reason to even more absurd things. Back when the Turbos first entered the F1, BMW designed an engine that broke their test bench. It was built to stand 1250bhp.

Then there's Nobuhiro Tajima's twin-engined Suzuki Escudo to climb the Pikes Peak. You read that right. He put two 911 engines on a tubular frame with a fiberglass body that slightly resembled a Suzuki Escudo and called it a climb. He's done that to other suzukis, ofc.

Then there's Loeb's 885bhp "Peugeot 208", also for the peak. And some dude raced a 1000+bhp Tacoma some 20 years ago.

And of course, the legend itself. The MG Metro 8r4 rallycross. Someone was crazy enough to put a 4l V8 into a vehicle the size of a Mini. The old one.

Because Race Car.

Don't underestimate the little cars. Mini has 4 consecutive overall victories in the Montecarlo Rally back in the 60s.

And obviously I wouldn't go in the competition without doing some tuning. Although I probably wouldn't enter the Aveo and still have it street legal regardless. It's FWD. Ew.

That's literally a 2 stage turbo. As in, a turbo fed to other turbo. Sweden, man.

Reminds me how the dude in charge of Lancia didn't believe in turbos. They won the first Group B world rally championship with a supercharged engine. And then he had to give in and put a turbo on the Delta S4 - which was too big, so he put a supercharger for low revs.

Let's be fair, we've been force-feeding air to our engines since the late 70s. We're just going crazy with it now.

The only card trick thing I ever tried was a couple of weeks of trying to do a "perfect shuffle". I couldn't reliably riffle off 26 cards, but after a while I could tell exactly how many I riffled just from feel. I never got below the 2-4 range on doubled cards on the shuffle, however, and then just moved on.

The issue I have with Axe is how the people in the commercials coat themselves in it when they put it on. That leads idiots to think that's how you're supposed to apply it.

I also don't like the inherent sexism in their ads, but that's pretty broad across the board for a lot of ads.

They had three levels

Pure, or Drinking Water. 
Recycled 'Grey Water' type.  Purified and Recycled enough to be reused for Showers and Cleaning, but not viable as Drinking Water
Black Water.  Still usable, mostly for those lubricating, as water for watering the plants in the ships CLESS system and/or 'Dirty Cleaning' but totally unsuitable for either personal hygiene or drinking.

I hadn't heard of the Hitchcock doc. That should be interesting... I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I think the best documentary I've seen so far -- short, but no less powerful for that -- was Resnais's "Night and Fog."

That's the one thing I can't agree with Storm there. Being the almighty goddess of thunder is useful at times. Killing the person you love when you touch them isn't.

Your example of "non-overprocessed" food is McDonalds?  :psyduck:

I was surprised to find though, that when the grad students from the group we collaborate with in Brazil visited they insisted on eating at McDonald's. It's seen as stylish in Brazil. Which I guess explains why it's so expensive there. Seriously, I could go to a locally-owned place in São Carlos and get a much better burger for half the price of a Big Mac.

The setup:

Evander Kane is a forward for the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League. The Jets have been struggling as of late, as they are fighting to stay in playoff contention. Kane has been getting a lot of criticism for being "part of the problem, not part of the solution", as they say.

He has been a "healthy scratch" for the last few games - the coach, Paul Maurice, has opted to put other players in the 18-man lineup instead of him. Apparently, the most recent scratch was because, instead of wearing a suit to a mid-day team meeting, he wore a track suit.

And what, to my wondering eyes should appear, on my twitter timeline:

Quote
@Predalytics
It wasn't that Evander Kane wore a tracksuit. The issue is that it was velour and said JUICY on the butt in rhinestones.

Not to nitpick, but there are differences between gaffer's and duct/duck tape; they're not quite the same thing. Gaffer's tape has a matte finish that's easier to grip, the cloth part is thicker and less stringy, and the adhesive is both a bit weaker and leaves less residue.

Post by: Jimor on 08 Feb 2015, 17:56
Tape works better in a vacuum, because yes, air sticks to tape and forms a thin layer between the adhesive and the stuff you want it to stick to. Of course, the reason WHY things are sticky in the first place gets into all kinds of weird physics, materials, and chemistry issues. Just ask a gecko.

Also, that "100 MPH", "150 MPH", etc., tape thing is something you hear about in NASCAR a lot, too, because they need tape that can handle the speeds, which standard duct tape can't.

I'd say we go through nearly a roll of duct tape per shoot (strapping down legs of tripods, etc.) when we televise local high-school sports. We save the gaffers for specific places where the non-stickiness is required to not damage property because compared to duct tape, it's expensive!

I thought duct tape had its reputation partly because it can be torn by hand no problem. I also thought it was called that because it has tiny ducts in it, which are easy to tear with perpendicular force but strong against whatever stress it's under when holding stuff together.

Except duct tape is the wrong type of tape for sealing ducts!(?) It doesn't handle the heat and will dry out and crumble.

For actually sealing ducts you use foil backed tape made for sealing metal work:

I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.

Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.

And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.

Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

Nope.  Duck tape precedes duct tape by between 1 and 6 decades, depending on how you count (duck tape initially meant just strips of cotton duck, which usage dates to the late 19th century.  Adhesive duck tape was introduced in WWII, and was later released under the brand name Ductape in the 1950s, which quickly mutated to duct tape. 

The problem with duct tape is that though it's called "200 MPH Tape" in NASCAR, sometimes it doesn't hold if it's not applied properly. And when it comes off.... things can happen.
Well, they doubled the number, that's the problem.  They used to only call it 100 MPH tape.

The primary concern their supervisor had wasn't so much the fact that gaffer's tape is so expensive as much as the box coming open and the sensitive materials they were shipping spilling out.

What kind of bullshit is that? A motorsport with restrictor plates?

(I know that truck raids also have them, but some dude flew over a dune at 150mph with a 2000bhp truck and literally broke the truck in half, killing himself in the process, so it makes sense. Also, it doesn't, there are better ways to restrict that)

Ayrton Senna.

Every sport has rules.

Absurd? Maybe, but it's done all the time, even in Formula One. Sometimes for "safety", sometimes to make the racing more exciting for the spectators, sometimes to contain costs.

F1 doesn't have a top speed limiter on race. Massa's 235mph mark on Monza would say that.

(Before we go any further with power to weight ratios and how an F1 should be faster down a straight - consider the aerodynamics of every open wheeler as those of a gold bar. An F1 car is pushed to the ground by air so hard you could drive it upside down at roughly 65m/s)

Having a maximum speed on the straight isn't limiting the use of skill to achieve the maximum possible speed round bends or through chicanes.

It's an oval.

And also, MoM's point. I've seen it happen too, it's nigh impossible to overtake on circuit truck racing because the trucks are limited to 100mph so you can't use speed to overtake. And then you have dudes that are driving 10 ton machines pushing each other around. Which isn't exactly safe either.

What kind of bullshit is that? A motorsport with restrictor plates?

Dale Earnhardt, Rodney Orr, Neil Bonnett, Tiny Lund and Joe Weatherly would say hi, but they're kinda dead.

That's why the sport has risks. F1 is ages faster and nobody's died since Ayrton Senna* mentioned earlier. Who would've died with that restrictor plate anyways because his suspension gave up and his front wheels weren't touching the ground. And once again, a restrictor plate at such a high speed doesn't really reduce the problem that much. You're crashing at about 80m/s. You're blowing up, and that's almost final.

I know it's not the best thing, but motorsports, just by their very nature, include a risk of death. Trying to "eliminate" said risk putting restrictor plates is futile. Unless the restrictor plate is set to 20mph.

*Jules Bianchi, while not dead, could be in the near future (let's hope he doesn't die). But one would argue that it was a massive failure from the entire safety apparatus on Suzuka, which is actually where Daijiro Kato died about 15 years ago.

Ayrton Senna.

Every sport has rules.

Absurd? Maybe, but it's done all the time, even in Formula One. Sometimes for "safety", sometimes to make the racing more exciting for the spectators, sometimes to contain costs.

F1 doesn't have a top speed limiter on race. Massa's 235mph mark on Monza would say that.

Semantics.  As Akima rightly stated, F1 has added rules to cut speed before and will do so again.

It's part of the reason they stopped using real engines and went to those Coffee Grinder Powerpac Engines.

Not exactly the same. An actual top speed limiter evens top speed across the board, resulting in a much different type of race. Limiting the ruleset in a way that throws slower cars I'm perfectly fine with.

And Kugai - Technically, the Coffee Grinder Powerpac Engines give out more top speed (except for Monza because the dudes in Mercedes cars couldn't be arsed to shift to 8th). Things about turbos, they're weird.

What kind of bullshit is that? A motorsport with restrictor plates?

Dale Earnhardt, Rodney Orr, Neil Bonnett, Tiny Lund and Joe Weatherly would say hi, but they're kinda dead.
Dale Ernhardt and Neil Bonnet died after restrictor plates were introduced.

The plates make racing "tighter" on superspeedways, which arguably makes it more dangerous. But Ernhardt's death, at least, brought some safety innovations that helped... "safer barriers," HANS devices, better harnesses...

Too much on topic for a no-topic thread. Have a video of a fat preacher yelling at another (homophobe) preacher. I may or may not be the white guy.

Firefox is superior for development; if it works in Firefox, it'll work in every other browser 99.9% of the time.

And the addons are optional, you don't need them for Firefox to do everything you need (except for the classic theme restorer and putting tabs under the address bar where they should be).

The real world has about an equal amount of males and females (with about the same amount being heterosexual for either one). That's why it doesn't work.

Break it down simply, 10 heterosexual males and 10 heterosexual females (because we can go on the basis that earth's population is about 50/50 males to females; again, I have to not count other types of sex, because that can in fact mess the math up). There is no scenario in that that can lead to males having more sexual partners than females, it will always average out the same.

Did you know that men report having significantly more sexual partners than women report (only counting heterosexual experiences)? Did you know that according to math that doesn't work?
That one about lying is total bullshit.

In Australia a "tax return" is the paperwork you sent to the tax-office giving details of your income etc. for the year. If you get money back from the tax-office after they have processed your return, it is called a "tax refund".

Title: Re: This thread is non-euclidean, for it has no point
Post by: Neko_Ali on 15 Feb 2015, 09:30
Yes. Relatively quickly even, by government measure. The whole concept around in in the US is you pay into a fund during the year for your tax obligation. At the start of each year, when your fill out your tax reports, they will then refund you whatever you have over paid them. Or conversely you own whatever you underpaid. A lot of people have a little extra taken out of every pay check as sort of a 'forced savings' program so that they get back a bigger refund. It normally take a few weeks. And a lot of places now will 'pre refund you'. Basically when you get them to fill out your return (or sometimes bring them your return), they pay you most of what you would have gotten back right then in exchange for you signing over your refund. Them keeping the difference as a fee.

In the end it works out all the way around for the government since you are basically giving them money, which they hold onto (and make use of) until up to a year later, at which point they return a small portion of it.

Jan 31st is when employers/banks are supposed to have your paperwork to you (telling what you earned and what not) so you can file your taxes anytime after that.  We usually do ours that week since they are not complicated, and we've always gotten our refund around valentines day (it's frequently what we use to pay for a night out).

The only time my tax refund has been delayed was in 2013. The reason for that was one of the forms I use (for a tax credit based on the fees I pay as a grad student) was being redesigned that year to make it more confusing (seriously, why would you make a form that requires the person filling it out to start at the end and work toward the beginning?), and they didn't have the form available until March.

Post by: pwhodges on 15 Feb 2015, 10:38
The UK system (PAYE - Pay As You Earn) has the Inland Revenue provide a code to your employer which tells them how much tax to deduct each month.  If your tax position changes during the year, the code is changed, and the adjustments are made automatically on future salary payments.  If they find there was a mistake during the year, the correction will be factored into the code for the next year, if you owe them, or repaid to you if they owe you. 

If you have non-salary income other than UK savings which are taxed by the bank directly, then you may need to fill in a tax return and pay the additional tax bill when presented; you may be asked for an estimated amount up front if this is continuing year on year.

The UK system (PAYE - Pay As You Earn) has the Inland Revenue provide a code to your employer which tells them how much tax to deduct each month.  If your tax position changes during the year, the code is changed, and the adjustments are made automatically on future salary payments.
Australia's system is similar for employed people, except that the code adjustment is voluntary. Your employer deducts income-tax from your salary according to the amount you are paid, and at the end of the year issues you with a "Group Certificate" (in the UK it is a "P60", I think?), which you submit with your tax-return. If you have a tax-deductible expenditure (interest on certain loans, for example), you can apply to the ATO, and have it deducted from your PAYE payments, but many employees don't want the company pay clerks to know their private financial affairs and so don't do this*, but instead claim back at the end of the year.

*In Australia, mortgage (home loan) interest payments on your own home are not tax-deductible, so having deductible loan-interest implies that you are engaged in "negatively geared" investment in property, shares etc. which has at times been politically controversial as a form of tax-avoidance by high-income individuals.

Quote
When Theodore Roosevelt became police commissioner of New York in 1895, the NYPD was its most dangerous and powerful criminal enterprise.  An organized brutal shakedown ring, the captains had a hand in most of the city’s illegal operations.  Determined to clean up the corruption, Roosevelt did exactly what Commissioner Gordon did when he took over Gotham City’s corrupt police force: he put on a black cape, patrolled the most dangerous parts of the city at midnight, and used his great physical strength, expertise in martial arts, and detective skills to personally deliver wrongdoers to justice. 

Wait, no, Gordon didn’t do that.  Batman did.

And so did Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt’s initial attempts to have corrupt policemen indicted were failures.  Most of the judges were Tammany Hall appointees in the pockets of police bosses like “Clubber” Williams and Big Bill Devery, and these judges refused to bring charges against any officers on the word of meager citizens.  The only way Roosevelt could clear out the worst apples was if he caught them red-handed.
And so TR took on a new strategy.  Dressed in a black cape and a large-brimmed slouch hat pulled low over his face, he would make his own patrols, hiding in the shadows of the metropolis’s seediest alleys while tracking some of the more notorious crooks on the police force.  When he caught one selling booze or opium, availing himself of service bribes at one of the many brothels that kept young women imprisoned, or extorting money from a shopkeeper, TR would spring forth, chase down his subordinate, tackle and subdue him, and personally deliver him to the courthouse to lay charges against him as an unimpeachable witness.

Once the more brazen offenders had been stripped of their badges, Roosevelt dispensed with the theatrical costume and the judo and began simply patrolling the beats of his officers to make sure that they were at their posts, diligent in their upkeep of the law, and, above all, courteous to the citizens under their protection (this last being a truly revolutionary concept at the time).

I don't play any instruments, so my point is that the human voice has more range and timbres than just the one displayed in those songs, there are more ways to structure a song than guitar solo/verse/chorus/same guitar solo/chorus x2, and the fact that large parts of the lyrics are the same.

Look, there are only so many words you can use to describe your truck, blue jeans and budweiser. And sometimes nature/blowing nature's head off with a shotgun.

Though I don't think it's any worse than pop songs, especially pop songs about partying or ones that use seemingly made-up nonsense words.

With that baseball thing... Was the batsman out with that catch? Like "caught & bowled" in cricket?:
Don't ask me why it is "caught & bowled" when the bowling precedes the catching. Few things about cricket's arcane rituals make sense.

Yes, the pitcher caught the line drive for the out.

Because the way the batsman got out comes before the name of the bowler.

If anyone ever tries to say pop country isn't 100% formulaic

:roll:
Sigh.

There's only a certain number of notes. If you think pop country is more formulaic than basically any other kind of music you're pretty much delusional.

Nope. That's like saying that Bach is the same as King Crimson is the same as Black Sabbath is the same as Johnny Cash is the same as Taylor Swift.

I wasn't saying all music has the same formula. I was saying all musics have a formula. There are those at the bleeding edge of those boundaries, obviously, but in any genre there will be a weighty proportion that sounds exactly the fucking same.

Speaking of chocolate, is it getting sweeter or am I just getting older? I'd love to find a package from 20 years ago and compare the sugar content to stuff that's out now. I swear there's more sugar in it. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but the stuff that I used to like once in a while I can't even stomach any more.

Chocolate is still the same here in australia.

As for that pool.
Perhaps that's to prevent swimming with stingers and other tropical nasties.

Mmmmm.....that sounds awesome. My favorite cookie is tied between white chip macadamia nut or those delicious wafer thin cookies that are kinda chewy and are dipped in chocolate and caramel. I wish I knew what they were called! I just know they're delightful and they come in those assorted cookie tins.


I'm not a huge fan of chocolate in general- I prefer sweet and chewy candies like jelly beans and swedish fish. If I want chocolate, it generally has stuff in it- caramel, coconut, pretzel, peanut butter, etc.


EDIT: omg omg I found them!!

They are called lace florentine cookies. Mmmmmm. Google also reminded me that they are sometimes stacked and made into sandwiches with a creamy mashmallowy filling. Those are also amazing.

As long as they don't kick the sugar content up. I had an 80% once that was nearly as sweet as a Hershey's bar. I don't necessarily want it as bitter as Baker's Unsweetened, but it's nice to have a dark chocolate that balances the bitter and the sweet better.

I was looking through some of my coin collection (which I haven't looked at in years), and a Franc stood out to me.  I don't exactly remember where I got it, but it is silver, so it's old, and one side has a pentagram surrounded and filled with floral patterns, above it along the edge of the face it reads "Empire Cherifien", the other size has an eight-sided star with "1 Franc" noting it's value, and what I just realized for the first time was Arabic below it.  I can't read Arabic, so I run the Empire Cherifien through google translate and it comes back with "Moorish Empire".  So a Moorish coin under French monetary system...I'm now assuming it's either from Algeria or Morocco.

I really hate shows being so far ahead of us in the US. Honestly, you can't even really appreciate a show without parts of it being spoiled ahead of time.

I know I'm in the minority in considering literally any information about a show (even just the one joke) to be a spoiler, but I've also had major plot developments in Sunny spoiled for me because I joined an appreciation group.

Nothing is ever enough to prevent a spoiler. If Facebook was around in the 80s, the number of CAN'T BELIEVE DARTH VADER WAS LUKE SKYWALKER'S DAD posts would have been unavoidable. If you're not managing to watch it AS it's airing, you're fucked. Sometimes even that isn't enough if people are slightly ahead of you on the feed and do a tweet or a text or something.

I have a habit of avoiding spoilers just for the sake of not having things spoiled, but I'm getting the feeling there's not much point to it because when I do learn of spoilers, it doesn't really affect my enjoyment. It sucks if there is something that the reader/watcher/player is supposed to figure out for themselves is spoiled, but I don't think that's all that common. A spoiler like 'Snape kills Dumbledore' is almost irrelevant, it tells you something that happens at the end but not how or why, what the reasons or consequences are, so anyone who's reading or watching gets to that point and thinks "oh this is where Snape kills Dumbledore" but that doesn't take away from the narrative, does it?

Basically I find that spoiled or not, if things are good spoilers don't change that so I don't really care if something gets 'spoiled'.

Tbh I prefer being called Sir rather than Mr.  "Mr. [mylastname]" just sounds...wrong to me.  Probably comes from the fact that I don't think I've ever once heard my dad be called Mr., nor my grandpa (he lived across the yard).  Also stems from the fact that to me, Mr. is for old people or businessmen, and I'm neither old nor a businessman, so I'd rather not be called Mr.


Yes, I know the full spelling is 'Mister', but that just looks even weirder.

Goodness gracious, not even the cops called me sir when they stopped me to give me a ticket.

The story could very well go on a vitriolic letter but it was 2 years ago. tl;dr, I had a Subaru, he had to drive a shitty Peugeot, and Real Madrid lost that afternoon, so they saw me with the learner driver plaque and decided It was a great moment to vent.

Fun fact: Sir and Mister technically translate to the same word in Spanish.

With water as a weakness, I'd be the only super-villain that Aquaman could defeat!

Just as long as it isn't changed to Dr. Heternormative. He's such a crappy character.

Multiple-Choice Reading Quiz Answers Actually Selected by Students in Classes I Taught as a T.A. (http://the-toast.net/2015/03/12/multiple-choice-reading-quiz-answers-actually-selected/) gets right to the point:

Quote
A discussion of a poet’s diction focuses on whether he or she wrote by hand, computer, typewriter, or Etch a Sketch™.

Formal Reports should never be handed in on Casual Fridays.

In your essays, you should not try to address anticipated objections to your arguments, because unless you are psychic it is impossible to know what other people are thinking.

I've never seen that site before but it's a barrel of laughs.

It screws over the higher level students on one of two levels. Either they wise up to it and don't answer and as such pass the test with no effort, or they wise up but think 'they can't possibly have this straightforward an answer key' and end up picking the wrong answers because they assume they must be wrong.

Nah, the worse way is to make the first 5 or so questions randomly a,b,c,d but then the rest be a pattern.  Further confusing the students who pickup the pattern later as it doesnt match the first 5 or so.

I thought that as well, but stuff like this has a tendency to propagate. Just look at how many ten-year-old funny gifs go through a weekly, monthly or multi-monthly cycle of being shared to imgur, 9gag, facebook, reddit, etcetera...

Speaking of which, here's how to make a better gif. I'd like to see this become the new standard.

Eh, GIFs still suck... I once tried to create a GIF of the wavefunction of a molecule we were studying. I couldn't get it to work because I was using variable transparency to represent the wavefunction density, and GIF doesn't support alpha channels. Instead I ended up throwing a javascript thing together to set up a canvas which then switched PNG frames*.

* Yes, I know there's an animated PNG format, but no web browsers support it.

Australian plugs are not as sturdy as UK ones which 1) are rated to 13A* rather than the 10A standard here and 2) use the earth (ground) pin to engage mechanically with a cam that pushes open a protective shutter over the live and neutral. This is what Aussie plugs and sockets (receptacles) look like:
(http://rsc.anu.edu.au/watoc08/images/plug.jpg)

*There is an urban legend that 13A is the standard in the UK to allow electric kettles powerful enough to boil enough water for a pot of tea within the time taken for a commercial break on TV.

Peristalsis is a radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles that propagate in a wave down a tube, in an anterograde direction.

AKA bowel movement, or also how earthworms move.

10. A US entrepreneur has pledged to rid China of "farcical" western names such as Lady Gaga, Elvis and Washing Liquid. Chinese people commonly take a "yingwen ming" or "English name" to help Anglophone employers address them. But often these result in them being "laughed at behind their backs" when they choose such monikers as Furry, Twinkle, Pussy or Volcano, says businesswoman Lindsay Jernigan, who has launched a website to help Mandarin speakers adopt more suitable titles.

This person needs to be stopped. Right now. I can only imagine how awesome my life would have been if my parents had called me Volcano.

         "TAX not the royal Saint with vain expense,
          With ill-matched aims the Architect who planned--
          Albeit labouring for a scanty band
          Of white robed Scholars only--this immense
          And glorious Work of fine intelligence!
          Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore
          Of nicely-calculated less or more;
          So deemed the man who fashioned for the sense
          These lofty pillars, spread that branching roof
          Self-poised, and scooped into ten thousand cells,
          Where light and shade repose, where music dwells
          Lingering--and wandering on as loth to die;
          Like thoughts whose very sweetness yieldeth proof
          That they were born for immortality."

So I remember seeing this about a year or so ago and it really spoke to me.  It made me want to write my own G-man/MiB type story.


So last night I was struck by some inspiration and couldn't sleep.  I stayed up for a couple of hours and finally put pencil to paper and wrote a very rough draft of an interrogation scene with a witness.  The idea was to make it the prologue.  I may comb through it and smooth it out today.
