What we are seeing here is a result of the work http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/. Fascinatingly, Google returns the header not for any request, but only if you google for Terry Pratchett.
What is more: if you google for Terry Pratchett in your browser, it looks like Google will remember this and send the header with any subsequent responses - no matter if they are PTerry-related or not.

It is very legit. In fact, a friend of mine in Nashville is the co-owner of the company that helped with the SFX on this one. She posted it on their company FB page today.

That can be a problem sometimes. And on those cases I'd rather be told up front, because I don't have a problem to just put the radio, or talk, or let you choose the music if I appreciate your taste enough. Much better to have something we both can enjoy than for you to fake a smile through the distorted bass solos in Acid Wolfpack.

This week Tesla announced the Model S 70D, and dropped the Model S 60.  They've also revamped a bunch of their options.  A lot of the stuff which were included in the Tech Package are now standard.  Also included in the S 70D are superchargers, a $2000 option in the S 60.  The S 70D has dual motors (AWD), and increased range over the S 60.

Here's the thing.  Tesla doesn't even plan to put any superchargers in the foreseeable future in this province.  No superchargers, no road trips.

I don't have a garage, or even a driveway, so I can't plug in the car.

Finally, I can't afford it anyway.

So my new-found lust for the new model is pointless.

Michigan Gothic.

- You ask your friend where he was born. He holds up his hand and points to a spot on his palm. “Oh, you’re from Grand Rapids,” you say. “No,” he replies, “look closer.” You do: there is a tiny house on his palm, with tiny parents waving up at you, asking if you’d like some lemonade. You aren’t thirsty.

- The coney island on the corner is open. You walk inside and order some gyros, then walk out for a cigarette, but find yourself in Flint. You go back inside, into the same coney island, then leave again. Now you’re in Grosse Pointe. It’s all the same coney island. Your gyros are getting cold.

- You’re driving through the Upper Peninsula, and stop for gas. The pump dispenses nothing but unrefined, crude oil. You enter the station, but the attendant only speaks ancient Cornish. A horn blows: the hunt begins.

- You cross 8 Mile and enter the city of Detroit. Your eyebrows are stolen before you travel fifty feet. Then your socks. Then your kidney. Eminem asks you if its pronounced “de-TROIT” or “DEE-troit.” You have no answer, and he hands you a can of Vernors. It tastes like road salt, and regret.

- Faygo. Its everywhere. You go into Meijer. The shelves are lined with Faygo. You go to school, and they serve Faygo for lunch. In the pipes of your house: Faygo. In your veins: Faygo. Moon Mist, if you’re not mistaken.

- You cross 8 Mile and enter the city of Detroit. Your eyebrows are stolen before you travel fifty feet. Then your socks. Then your kidney. Eminem asks you if its pronounced “de-TROIT” or “DEE-troit.” You have no answer, and he hands you a can of Vernors. It tastes like road salt, and regret.

- Faygo. Its everywhere. You go into Meijer. The shelves are lined with Faygo. You go to school, and they serve Faygo for lunch. In the pipes of your house: Faygo. In your veins: Faygo. Moon Mist, if you’re not mistaken.

Where did this come from? I'd love to quote it for MI friends on Facebook, including my daughter, who grew up 1 1/2 miles north of 8 mile and went to high school about 1/3 of a mile north of it.

I got it from here (http://purpleprosegang.tumblr.com/post/115759759596/michigan-gothic)

I hate the fact that embedding can be disabled. That should not be an option.

And some content creators don't want their videos featured on other people's websites, and I think it's their right to have the power to decide against that.
I don't, nor do I think they should choose what countries it's viewable in. The latter angers me more though.

I'm a few days late but as I understand it's actually the advertisers and copyright holders causing your problems depending on if the creator monetizes their video. Although I also think content creators have the right to attempt to control distribution of their product any way.

A similar map of the USA in units of Shanghai (call it twenty-four million (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_proper_by_population)) would be amusing. Or a map of China's population density in units of the USA...  :wink:

I always thought it was funny that your player character in Pokemon is 10 years old. Like, yeah, they’re “anime ten” where they look at least 18 yadda yadda, but they’re still ten.

Imagine the people in the Pokemon League. These are fully grown adults, right? They’ve trained their entire lives to be the best trainers in their country. They’re the best of the best. And then a ten year old walks in. A high and mighty four foot tall ten year old with a big smile on their face walks in. They’ve never even seen a tity. They don’t know where babies come from. They’re ten.

How did this ten year old get in to your arena? Did they wander in here by mistake? They say they’re here to battle you. Aww, how cute. This kid wants to fight the big league trainers, so they snuck in to fight you. That’s cute and funny. You’ll tell the others about this next lunch break. You decide to humor the kid and accept their challenge. You toss out your level 50 Tyranitar. You and this Pokemon have spent decades together, you trained for ages to get it to Level 50. You’re the best trainer in the country.

The kid reaches on their belt and tosses a Master Ball. Wait, what? A Master Ball? How did that kid get a Master Ball? Out of the master ball pops…

God.

God popped out of the Master Ball.

The very same God Pokemon that controls the flow of space, that you go to church and pray to every Sunday.

This ten year old kid just pulled out a Master Ball and threw God at you. God is, in fact, Level 73.

God shoots Hyper Beam at your life-long partner Tyranitar, causing it to evaporate in to dust. He’s fainted in one hit. The kid yawns.

The kid wipes your entire party of Pokemon, the Pokemon you spent most of your adult life training and caring for. You are stunned. You ask the trainer how long they’ve been doing this. They say “I started a couple of days ago.”

This kid is ten.

*pokemon snip*

That's almost how I feel about Gaige on BL2. She's literally a schoolgirl. Her highest acts of badassery are rejecting hot cocoa and screaming "Smash the system" in her echocasts. Also building a mechanical left arm for herself with the right arm because she cut her actual left arm off, but that's a different story. At 5'3" and an undisclosed but highly reduced body mass (I'm willing to think that even with a left arm of solid steel as hers she doesn't top 120lbs), you'd need a minimum of 3 Gaiges to make up any of the enemies you face or even the other characters you control. And her presentation involves a moderately malfunctioning robot at the Eden-5 planetary science fair.

Of course, she's by far the most destructive character in the game. Also, public enemy number 1.

As you might have noticed, that's my main character xD

Just ate scrambled eggs that weren't cooked all the way (as in, still a little liquid-y/runny).  For me, runny eggs are barf-inducing, so I need my eggs at least slightly overcooked (also means I only really eat them scrambled).  But I tried to muscle through it by dousing them in syrup (syrup isn't liquid egg, so it's fine), but as I was finishing them, I picked up a chunk that had a sizable puddle of runny egg under it, and that was it for me.  Still fighting the urge to heave 10 minutes later.

Excavation of the second bomb was abandoned as a result of uncontrollable ground-water flooding. Most of the thermonuclear stage, containing uranium, was left in place. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers purchased a 400 feet (120 m) circular easement over the buried component. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill determined the buried depth of the secondary component to be 180 feet (55 m), plus or minus 10 feet (3.0 m).

Poor doggie.

They appear to have free reign over most of the house, could see into the living room when it walked to the door, which means the owners must trust them not to wreck the place (assuming that isn't why they attached the camera to them) and they have the choice to walk around. It was probably snoozing before hand. Still hope they have toys or noise though.

Over the past few days, and since I was for a while on the livestream, I'm watching a VOD of a dude's 30h stream. More interesting than TV at least.

The thing is, he starts playing Hatsune Miku Project Diva F 2nd. And that game has the translation to the lyrics of the vocaloids just so you can see it while you're pressing the buttons.

All this is basically an introduction to the question: Are the writers of vocaloid songs sociopaths? Seriously. There's some really fucked up shit going on on those lyrics.

Although what about Bandit Keith? Considering most of the actors chosen live IN AMERICA*, after all.

Realized at quarter to 2AM that I have an assignment due in technical writing class due tomorrow(today).  Finished it five minutes ago.

I love the fact that I'm getting a 96% in the class and all I've done is pull basically everything I've written out of my ass with few revisions.  Instructor has even asked if she can use some of my assignments as examples for future classes.  Even better, four times out of five, I have no idea what the hell I'm writing or what the instructor actually wants, I'm just slinging words at the keyboard.

Quote
so two sisters inherit a ranch. they decide to work on it a bit and after a while realize that they need a bull in order to help them around the place. so they gather together all the spare money they have—around four hundred dollars—and one sister looks at listings online and finds a man a while away who’s got a bull to sell. she decides that she’ll travel down to see him alone and tells her sister that she’ll send a telegram so that the sister can drive down with their truck if they are able to get the bull.

so the sister eventually reaches the man who’s selling his bull and asks what his price will be. he says, “listen. I won’t take a dollar less than three hundred and ninety-nine dollars.” so the sister agrees and pays him the amount, leaving her with one dollar. then she goes to the post office and asks to send a telegram back to her sister to let her know that she’s got the bull so her sister should come and pick them up. but when she asks the person at the counter, they tell her that the telegram costs a dollar per word. the sister only has one dollar so she picks a word carefully and sends the telegram.

what word does she pick?

I see a problem with those Evil Overlord Rules. You don't only need power to enforce all those rules, you also need a very strong monetary investment and possibly lots and lots of training for your henchmen. Since, you know, misleading maps and all that.

And obviously, there's the off chance that the so-called "Hero" is morally aligned with the playable characters from Borderlands, so every attempt to use your "Rational Evil Overlord" ways on them is futile since they're probably more evil than you are. Example: The phonecall rule:
EVIL OVERLORD: "Yeah, I'm going back on my evildoing".
SO CALLED HERO: "That won't make me kill you less".

I like riddles when there's an actual logic to the answer. A lot are secret option number three that don't even work when explained with convoluted reasoning.
I thought when the question is, "Which should he question?" That the proper answer should be, "All of them." The question should be who did it according to the note.

In my experience, gay men are a *lot* more considerate than het men.  The few times I have been in gay bars with a friend from Uni, and guys came on to me, they'd back off after I said "I'm sorry, but I have a girlfriend".  But I've had girlfriends who would say "no, I have a boyfriend", and the guys would still persist on being arseholes.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: Thrillho on 19 May 2015, 05:42
That's a can of worms in itself, though, people should just back off from 'no' rather than needing to be actually 'taken.'

I recounted on this forum elsewhere how irritated I was that a drunk girl at a bar wanted to kiss me on the cheek and then hug me, and I said no, in the politest terms possible and she wouldn't leave us alone until my mate pointed out my girlfriend was at the bar... at which point she disappeared immediately. Why would she not leave me alone anyway?

Anyway, there are arseholes in all walks of life. Funnily enough I've found gay guys to be more respectful of straight men, but anecdotally seen there be quite a few problems with straight women, although obviously that's only personal experience and not a reflection on any kind of wider scale.

I've learned to live with my company. On the other hand, no gay man has ever complimented me and that makes me kinda sad :(

Although maybe they saw I wasn't interested and decided not to try. I can have that.

1.   Cleopatra lived closer to the building of Pizza Hut than she did to the building of the Great Pyramids. The Pyramids were established in 2540 BC. Pizza Hut was created in 1958. Cleopatra was born in 30 BC.
2.   U.S. President John Tyler (10th President) has two living grandsons!! Tyler had a son, Lyon, at 63 years old. Lyon then had two sons at ages 71 and 75... and both of them are currently living.
3.   The last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series, women did not have the right to vote. The Cubs won in 1908. The women's suffrage movement won in 1920.
4.   More photos are taken every two minutes than were taken in the entire 19th century. The first photograph was taken in 1826.
5.   Your child's TI-83 calculator is more powerful that the computer guiding the Apollo 11 mission. In fact, it's about six times more powerful than the computer responsible for landing on the moon.
6.   Oxford University is older than the Aztec civilization. The Aztecs build Tenochtitlan in 1325. Oxford was established in 1249.
7.   If you were born in 1968 or earlier, the Earth's population has DOUBLED in your lifetime.
8.   Will Smith is now older than Uncle Phil was when "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" debuted on TV. James Avery was 45 when he first played Uncle Phil. Will Smith is now 46.
9.   It took just 66 years to go from the first flight to landing on the moon. The Wright Brothers took to the air in 1903. Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969.
10.   Wolly mammoths were still alive when the Pyramids were built. Mammoths went extinct around 1650 BC, 1,000 years after the Pyramids were built!
11.   The fax machine was invented while America was expanding west on the Oregon Trail. The first patent for a fax machine was filed in 1843, the same time frame as the country's westward expansion.
12.   Betty White is ACTUALLY older than sliced bread!! America's favorite actress and comedienne was born in 1922... Six years before Otto Rohwedder invented a machine to commercially slice bread.

That dates the list nicely - the TI-83 was superseded in 1999.

Found this and had to share!

Actual complaints received by "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" from dissatisfied customers:
1. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."

2. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."

3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."

4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."

5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."

6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."

7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."

8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."

9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."

10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."

12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."

13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."

14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."

15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."

16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."

17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

20.  A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate."

I didn't think the Jurassic Park theme had words. That means either of 3 things:
1. It has words and I never noticed. Discarded as boring.
2. She's singing the instrumental version... badly. More fun and most likely.
3. She invented her own lyrics to go along with the song and is drunkenly singing those. This is my headcanon.

Michael Sweet. He's recording at Spirithouse Studios (https://instagram.com/p/3O7CSzzDya/)


You might know him. He's played lead guitar and vocals for Boston; he just published his autobiography of his days on the road as the lead singer for a heavy metal band.

Oh, and there was this band he and his brother put together. They used to be called "Roxx Regime." You might know them better as Stryper.

Well given the era of Sweeney Todd, I can't see how those Chinese folk-tales wouldn't pre-date it by centuries.

Yeah, I can tell you from experience that comic could be renamed 'Horror stories for people with social anxiety problems'.  I by far prefer to deal with people via text or email than over the phone. When I do have to talk with someone on the phone I keep it as short as possible. The worst was the time I've spent working in call centers, at tech support, customer service or order departments. Nothing like spending 8 hours dealing with angry people on the phone to drive my stress levels through the roof.

Sometimes it is better. I have texted across a tabletop with people who speak a Chinese dialect that I don't. Written Chinese is pretty standard; spoken, not so much.

Yeah this is very much the same for me.

Customer service training is a nightmare when you have social anxiety.

Honestly, working in call centres and in customer service has actually helped ease my social anxiety. It's like aversion therapy. When the options are 'have an anxiety attack' and 'fail to pay rent or feed self,' I realise how relatively mild my anxiety issues are when compared to other people's.

But to this day, I need that professional veneer to talk on the phone. If it's not a work call, then unless it's my girlfriend I'm talking to I HAAAAAATE talking on the phone with the fire of a thousand suns.

And I remember watching a video at a customer service training course I went on recently with the 'good customer experience' and the 'bad customer experience.'

The bad one was a dream for me because it was lonely. The good one found this poor bastard being accosted by sales staff at every fucking turn. They had five items in their fictional basket by the end and they'd spoken to nine people. You realise what a nightmare that is for me on a bad day? On a good day I'll chat to the checkout people quite happily, but on a day when I'm so desperate to be left alone that I'll walk 20 minutes out of my way to go to the OTHER Tesco that has automatic scan checkouts rather than actually make eye contact with someone, I don't want someone greeting me at the door, and at the butcher counter on the way past, and at the till, and on the way out, and on every fucking aisle, if I get greeted by some arsehole on every fucking aisle then I'm going to get greeted THIRTY TIMES as a conservative estimate.

I know the check out line/shopping experience too. I know those automated tellers/self checkouts suck in terms of work force since it means one person can oversee up to like a dozen check outs.. that means 11 people out of a job. But for me they are a godsend. No small talk. No dealing with being misgendered. Just scan my stuff, swipe my card and go. When I had access to a car and all night stores (and frankly when it was potentially safer to wander around alone at 2am) I used to love doing what shopping I could in the middle of the night. Usually I was one of the few people there, and those who were working weren't doing greeting... They were to busy stocking shelves and such. Peace and quiet... it was bliss.

I find it so helpful if someone texts before calling, either to ask if I'm free to be on the phone, which is super courteous, or that they're about to call and it is or is not going to be about a big deal, which either lets me not worry because it's not a bad call or to be mentally prepared for a bad call.

mmm. I always screen my calls. Of course that's as much because everyone who knows me knows better than to call me. So probably about 90% of the calls I do get are someone either trying to sell me something, or a scam. It's good to just go 'nope, I don't know that number' and ignore it, or look it up online to see who it is.

Something I'm still getting used to answering work calls is the five or six sentences of politeness before hand.

"Hello, [work name]."
"Hey, is that Welu?"
"Yep, how can I help?"
"How are you?"
"I'm well, thanks. How are you?"
"I'm well, thank you. HEY, CAN YOU HELP PLEASE?"

I know most people prefer a how are you and I know it's "just polite" but it means I have to spend more time on the phone talking to someone I don't know and we both know they're only ringing because they need something. Not a That Would Be Great If You Could something but a This Needs Done For Both Of Our Jobs To Work something. More often I'm only passing the phone on to someone who they're going to have the exact same conversation with before getting on to what needs to be done. I know this is where I'm weird though and until I realised I'm sure I came across as super rude because I used to get asked how are you and say, "Grand, thanks. What's up?" I could have at least said, "What can I do for you?" :psyduck:

The epidemic began on September 13, 2005, when Blizzard introduced a new raid called Zul’Gurub into the game as part of a new update. Its end boss, Hakkar, could affect players by using a debuff called Corrupted Blood, a disease that damages players over time, this one specifically doing significant damage. The disease could be passed on between any nearby characters, and would kill characters with lower levels in a few seconds, while higher level characters could keep themselves alive. It would disappear as time passed or when the character died. Due to a programming error, players’ pets and minions carried the disease out of the raid.

Non-player characters could contract the disease but were asymptomatic to it and could spread it to others.[2] At least three of the game’s servers were affected. The difficulty in killing Hakkar may have limited the spread of the disease. Discussion forum posters described seeing hundreds of bodies lying in the streets of the towns and cities. Deaths in World of Warcraft are not permanent, as characters are resurrected shortly afterward.[3] However, dying in such a way is disadvantageous to the player’s character and incurs inconvenience.[4]
During the epidemic, normal gameplay was disrupted. Player responses varied but resembled real-world behaviors. Some characters with healing abilities volunteered their services, some lower-level characters who could not help would direct people away from infected areas, some characters would flee to uninfected areas, and some characters attempted to spread the disease to others.[2] Players in the game reacted to the disease as if there was real risk to their well-being.[5] Blizzard Entertainment attempted to institute a voluntary quarantine to stem the disease, but it failed, as some players didn’t take it seriously, while others took advantage of the pandemonium.[2] Despite certain security measures, players overcame them by giving the disease to summonable pets.[6] Blizzard was forced to fix the problem by instituting hard resets of the servers and applying quick fixes.[3]

The major towns and cities were abandoned by the population as panic set in and players rushed to evacuate to the relative safety of the countryside, leaving urban areas filled to the brim with corpses, and the city streets literally white with the bones of the dead.[7]

The Corrupted Blood event happened literally the week before I first logged onto WoW, so I missed out on the insanity.  However, the zombie invasion was the crowning achievement of Blizz-sponsored events in WoW.  Infecting the aid station and actually killing the Argents was quite a challenge, but we achieved it several times.  Otherwise people whining about the event were the first targets.

Cena's reenactor* only shows up for a little bit, it's basically a hilarious reenactment of HHH's entire career and a response to people who say "wrestling isn't real".

Triple H's fluctuating reputation is quite hilarious. '99-'01 he was an IWC golden boy, then he became loathed '02-'06, then he became slightly less hated thanks to Cena being loathed by mid-'06 until '11/'12 when fans were getting a bit ambivalent, then he turned heel but paradoxically is well loved because of his involvement in NXT.

I went to a cheap state school for undergrad, my loans are for my two (so far) attempts at grad school in fields I realized I didn't want to pursue (education and law). Hopefully third time's a charm, since I'll be taking loans out for this one too when I start next year.

I took out a loan in my first year of university. I failed and decided not to return. Instead I took up a series of menial and degrading jobs and consistently earned under the repayment threshold. I then started moving around a lot and even changed countries a couple of times. In all of this, the government seems to have lost track of me.

Mind you, I can't help but think that they aren't really looking that hard. I have a passport, driving license, a consistent history of paying tax, have frequently mithered my Member of Parliament on petty issues. Oh, and I've worked for multiple departments of central government and at one time had the privilege of being a named individual on a key interdepartmental policy document that was issued to the Treasury and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

Apparently, more USians are going to University in Germany because it's free, even for non-Germans, and they now have programmes that are entirely in English.  Part of me is thinking to do it to finish my education, just because it'd be less expensive than doing it in any habitable place in the US.

Post by: Neko_Ali on 17 Jun 2015, 10:07
They aren't being viewed as roadblocks though. As companies push for having degrees and internships for nearly every job, people see those going to college as ways to make money. Hence they are willing to give out student loans like candy, knowing it will put those students in pretty much life-long debt at this point. All the while pushing for the 'necessity' to go to university. They want you there, so they can put  you in debt to them. Just one more example of how in the US citizens are viewed as commodities and not you know.. people or valuable resources. Something to be used and used until broken and expended, then discarded.

Honestly Mulan isnt the only Disney princess with intact parents. Aurora, Merida, Rapunzel. Shoot there are probably more and I just can't think of them.  The most heart breaking family death explanation of any Disney movie character is Lilo for me.

Nah, they were going to visit the wedding of Rapunzel and their ship sank into Ariel's ocean. People want to link them to being Tarzan's parents too, but... Wrong time period, and to far to travel, from northern European seas to the coast of Africa.

Rainbows are caused by Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere by raindrops. Different colors of light scatter off the raindrops differently, causing the colors to split.
I don't think this is correct. Rayleigh scattering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_scattering) occurs when light is scattered by particles much smaller than the wavelength of light, which is not true of raindrops. Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the fact that the sky looks blue, and for the sun looking red at sunrise and sunset, but not for rainbows. Rainbows (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow) are caused by differential refraction of light within raindrops.

Disclaimer: It is a long time since I studied optics for HSC physics, so I could be wrong on the details.

So a German member of Parliament got a strange question (original source (http://www.abgeordnetenwatch.de/dr_fritz_felgentreu-778-78095--f438085.html#q438085))
Q:
Dear Mr. Felgentreu,

today the media reported about a study conducted by the Bundestag titled "The search for extraterrestrial life and a realiziation of the UN resolution A/33/246 regarding the monitoring of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial life forms". I would like to ask you - as my local representative and a member of the Committees of Defence, Education, Science and Technological Impact Assessment - if you know of any way the Bundestag or any of its subsidiaries are dealing with the question if and when the Second Coming of Christ is to be expected, considering it's a topic of high interest to both internal and external affairs?

I am asking with the thought in mind that at least twelve of the states that Germany has diplomatic affiliations with have codified Christianity as the state religion. Two of them (Ireland and Greece) even explicitly make reference to the Holy Trinity in their constitution. Since the Christian doctrine predicts the Kingdom of Christ after the Second Coming, it is to be assumed that not only will the aforementioned states be converted into theocratic monarchies, but also that the free democratic basic order of the German Republic will be seriously put in danger by the world-spanning claim of said kingdom ("The nations will walk by its light", Revelations 21).

Do you know if there are preparations being made or discussed to protect our political and societal order for that case?

With best regards,
Martin Johannes Grannenfeld


A:
Dear Mr. Grannenfeld,

thank you for your fascinating query. I can state with clean conscience that the Bundestag will not deal with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in the immediate future. Also I do not see any danger for  free democratic basic order of the German Republic in the diplomatic relations with states that have codified Christianity as the state religion. Should the Second Coming of Christ take place in one of those states, he would possibly have diplomatic immunity in Germany as a foreign head of state, but could not derive any claims from that. As a citizen of the EU he might profit from freedom of movement for workers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_movement_for_workers_in_the_European_Union). There are no anti-constitutional notions to be expected from Jesus Christ (Romans 13:1).

Thus, I am currently personally more concerned over the world-spanning claims of the "Islamic State" in Syria and the Iraq than over the scenario you described.

Best regards,
Dr. Fritz Felgentreu

“oh hey,” she said, “it’s a really touristy area, but since you’re gonna be passing through anyway, you might as well stop by pier 29, see the dragons. also, there’s a—”

“hold on,” i said. “i knew your city had mountains, but. dragons? uh, actual living dragons?”

“dude, it’s not a big deal. they’re there all the time. of course they’re majestic and everything, but they’re loud and cranky and mostly they lie around eating garbage. now and then the city council will talk about trying to make them roost somewhere else, but—”

“dragons,” i repeated. i knew it was making me sound like a rube, but it was a lot to take in. “you live in a city that has dragons.”

“no, it’s cool, we used to go see them when i was a little kid. it’s worth doing. but that whole area is mostly dragon-themed gift shops, and the commercialization is kind of a bummer. also, sometimes a dragon will melt somebody’s car and it’s a whole problem.”

“fairytale-style, giant scaly fire-breathing dragons.”

“honestly, i forget other cities don’t have them?” she said. “there’s a few other sites on the west coast where they gather. portland calls them wyverns, but that’s a portland thing.”

“chicago’s got, like, bunnies and songbirds,” i told her, “but otherwise it’s just your typical vermin. pigeons, rats, sphinxes—”

“sphinxes? what the hell.”

“oh, yeah, they nest in the el tunnels. sometimes a fucking sphinx will flap down out of nowhere, bring the whole train to a halt until the front car answers a riddle.”

“that sounds exciting,” she said.

“it’s the worst. your train winds up being twenty minutes late, and you just have to hang out hoping somebody up there read their mythology. there’s supposed to be a program where the conductors get trained in riddling, but i don’t know. rahm emmanuel keeps saying it’s not a budget priority.”

“huh,” she said. “guess the grass is always greener and all that. but on some level, it’s nice to remember that even with all these big box stores, the country still has some variety left in it.”

“yeah, did you know that in rhode island they call water fountains ‘bubblers’?” i said.

“whoa, seriously?”

“i read it somewhere. weird, right?”

“weird.”

Side note: this is the image Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply_of_the_Zaporozhian_Cossacks).

Quote
Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks depicts a supposedly historical tableau, set in 1676, and based on the legend of Cossacks sending a reply to an ultimatum of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed IV.

Quote
O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are you, that can't slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil excretes, and your army eats. You will not, you son of a bitch, make subjects of Christian sons; we've no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck your mother.

Another side note: this is the earliest use of "fuck your mother" that I personally know of (without having actively researched the matter at all). Unless of course you count Shakespeare's "Villain, I've done thy mother".

Those who check will be looking at URLs, not content. 

In the UK, if I deliberately look at a user's files and by chance find kiddy porn in there, I have committed an offence myself.  This is not exaggeration - I have a document from the police detailing the procedures I should go through to provide sufficient defence against being charged, or later in court, if this should happen when I am following orders to investigate such things or if I should choose to bring it to the attention of the authorities.

A few reasons.

1. I research things on this forum that relate to my job, so I'm allowed on here, unofficially (albeit not this thread really).
2. I am allowed to go on the internet on my lunch break, that doesn't mean I'm allowed on NSFW stuff.
3. Educational institution's priorities are fucked. You can rent Clockwork Orange from our library, but we aren't allowed to play Left 4 Dead in gaming club.

It's a double whammy if it involves browsing at work. If someone sees you browsing 'inappropriate content' it's supposed to reflect badly on yours and the companies professionalism. Mostly junk reasoning though. Mostly the NSFW tag is to stop you from viewing images at the library, or around kids, or whoever else you might not want to see you looking at 'naughty' stuff. Well, not stop you but warn "Hey! Naked boobies ahead! Maybe you want to think who else is around before you look!"

I think that would still work. Liar Brother would reply "I don't like them," because Sir Mix-A-Lot likes them and cannot lie. Sir Mix-A-Lot would reply "I like them," because Liar Brother doesn't like them and always lies -- thus if you asked him he'd say he does like them. Sir Mix-A-Lot cannot lie, so he won't lie about Liar Brother's answer.

Sir Mix-A-Lot cannot lie, so he won't lie about Liar Brother's answer.
But Liar Brother never said he doesn't like big butts, this is just stated. If he truthfully does not like big butts, he would falsely say he likes them. Sir Mix-A-Lot knows that his brother always lies, so if you ask Sir Mix-A-Lot what his brother's answer would be, he would truthfully say it's "I like them".

Wait, actually the question is pointless because the original riddle required you to determine the correct choice, not distinguish between two people, so it doesn't matter what question you ask.

Well doesn't that just ruin the joke.

We play Uno with stacking Draw cards.  Someone throws down a Draw Two for example, the next person can throw down a Draw Two and the next person has to draw four total cards.  However, the Draw card chain continues until it hits someone with no Draw cards.  Most cards I've seen drawn from one of these was 12.

I haven't really played Uno with a Uno deck since forever. We usually use a normal deck of cards (with J as "choose color", 7 as "draw two", 8 as "skip round" and I don't think there is a "draw 4", but I am not sure).

Btw, thanks for reminding me to look for more:

It makes total sense to make a manga about Uno matches. Uno, not unlike many strategy-based trading card games, has a high component of "Oh but we're not done yet".

You can stack draw twos on draw twos and draw fours on draw fours, but not one on the other.

What, no holographic stadiums where the numbers battle it out? No over elaborate and completely unnecessary add on devices to allow you to play the game while standing up and gesturing wildly? pfft. And you call this a card game manga....

Tiles are indeed not square, the right side is MUCH closer than the left side and the ceiling is crooked to go with that. Also, the camera records from a small opening on a wall.

We spent like 2 weeks and one dude made a little paper on this back when I was doing Human-Computer Interaction.

How does it work?

Magnets?

Seriously, it's forced perspective. Though they look the same when viewed at a distance, everything on the right is a lot smaller than everything on the left. When you compare something that is about the same size, like the people, to either end, it looks like they are changing size, not the room. It's all eye trickery.

This happened a few years ago and I was living in Zimbabwe at the time, and I was having a pretty bad day, I was going to see my auntie who lived about 400km away from me. If youre african you’ll understnad that this was no small journey. So I got in my car and set off and about 3 hours into the journey i came across a Dude by the side of the road who was going in the same direction, so out of the goodness of my heart i said jump in. we go to talking and he happened to be going to exact same village as me and he knew my auntie!.
Half an hour passes and we’re making polite chit chat and reminiscing about old times in zimbabwe, when all of a sudden he tell me to pull over, so I do. he runs out of the car and starts making wretching noises, so i assume he’s throwing up, its dark at this point so i cant really see much, so i go check on him ( first mistake). I get out and go to his side expecting him to be there but he’s not…..Then I here someone behind and me and before i know it im unconcious! so I wake up a couple hours later( iknow this becuase the sun was coming up at this point) without my car, clothes or wallet. so im thinking great. i look around and see im on some farmland wearing the giys clothes. SO i start walking in no particular direction and eventually come across a settlement.
I explain to them my situation and they tell me that the nearest main road is at least a good half a days walk from where I am and they dont get many cars coming through this part but they heard one last night ( which might be our thief). I start walking in the direction they point me in and after what felt like forever i come acroos a road, so I pitch up and start waiting, ( now i know most of you are thinking why not call someone, i had no phone with me and I dont have the best memory so I didnt know any numbers that would come in handy). after a couple of hours a car stops and lets me hitch I let him know the situaion and he says we’re in the complete opposite direction of my intended destination but he’s willing to drop me close enough to walk the rest of the way to which I thought great!
its takes a good two days to get there and he drops me off and i say my goodbyes to my driver, I take down his number so i can repay him later on. At this point im starting to recoginise my surroundings, I walk for a few miles and as im getting closer to my aunties i can here a lots of singing and what appears to be a large crowd which i though was strange. Im about 100 feet from the house and i see my Son which again i thought was strange because he was meant to be in school at this time, but instead of running to me and hugging me as he normally does…he runs away screaming to my complete bewilderment. I get to the the gate and all of a sudden the large crowd alerted by my sons scream has stopped singing and is stood silent. my wife appears and starts to run towards me hugging and kissing me like Ive been gone for months. My auntie appears and immediately faints when she sees me.
I still have no clue whats going on at this point and im exhausted, so we rush to get my auntie inside and I see my picture ontop of a large box that resembles a coffin sitting in the living room….
So it turns out that the guy who robbed me and made off with my car my wallet and all my clothes was in a car crash so bad that they couldnt identify the body and because the only things they could use to identify him was my wallet, they assumed it was me that had died in the crash. since there was no body of sorts they could arrange the funeral preety quickly and that is what I had stumbled upon. My son still has nightmares to this day and and my wife has told me never to pick up a hitch hiker ever again.
TL;DR Got carjacked, robber died and family thought it was me, they arrange my funeral and I somehow manage to stumble upon my own funeral.

This is my first experience with a football game day in Madison, but if it's anything like Norman, I agree. Just find a place to hide.

When I was a grad student, the apartment complex I lived in was in the part of town that was closed to traffic. My strategy was usually to either hole up in my apartment all day, or sneak out during 2nd quarter, then find a place away from campus to hide until after the game. I do remember one time I went to another grad student's house during the game, and walked back to my apartment. There was someone trying to get into the section of town that was closed to traffic, arguing with a cop that he lived at the apartment complex I lived at. The cop's response: "I don't care where the hell you live, if you don't turn around right now I'll fucking shoot you." Norman cops...  :psyduck:

The thing is, the most efficient way to merge at a spot like this is to maintain two lanes until the merge, and zipper merge where the lane ends. People are too disorganized and self-centered to make that work, though.

Well, pumpkin spice certainly ain't pumpkin. I hate that crap. It's weird that so many people don't understand that it's all the crap they add to pumpkin to make it pie filling. It makes as much sense as putting Italian seasoning on a slice of bread and calling it pizza spice toast.

To be fair, I've made a pumpkin pie from an actual pumpkin before. Sure, I used some spices as well, but it was tasty.

...the seeds that I roasted after were far tastier though.

Since sabres generally have curved blades, and are generally used with a one-handed grip, lightsaber® was a curious name-choice in the first place.

You're absolutely right Akima. The thing is, the Spanish dub went with the generic "Espada laser" (Laser Sword) so I never put too much thought into what kind of sword it should be. What is true is that I picture the spoilered bit as something akin to the Holy Sword on Shining Force, which is much broader (think battle spatula, but longer) than the lightsaber.

Similarly, it is 光剑 (guāngjiàn) in Chinese, which is literally "light-sword", and jiàn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jian) refers to the classic straight-bladed sword, not the sabre-like dāo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dao_(sword)).

Just a warning for you guys, I may disappear Offline for a while due to a fruckup with the billing of my ISP Account.  For some reason, I'm $300 in arrears and that's gonna take a while for me to clear as I'm an Invalids Beneficiary here

I'm hoping to clear this as quickly as possible, but I may be gone Offline for at least a month until I do.

I'll try and get on every so often via Public Access at the Library, but I may be unavailable for full time until I get this cleared

Sorry.

Today at work I asked one of the kids what her favourite colour was and she said:
‘Pink and purple. They’re pretty. I used to liked yellow but I got fed up with it.’ She stares into the distance. Suddenly this five year old child in her flowery dress with matching ribbons in her hair has become a battle-hardened veteran. She’s seen some shit.

‘Too many things are yellow now’. If this were a movie she’d knock back the last of her whiskey and get up from the bar. I know in my heart of hearts this kid is sick of minions.

GIFs seem very popular these days.  It's strange, because generally, videos are smaller, and we can do nice YouTube links too.  Have a YouTube video of two other guinea pigs doing the same thing (for less time), in only 6MB, and that's HD (if you open the YouTube window)!:

I am not sure about the full name, but you need a name and must also think of the person's face while you write their name. If you don't know either of those, they are impervious to the effects. Oh, and you can only kill one person at a time - no mass-murdering everyone named John Smith.

Yeah, or knock up something like this (http://www.lillipad.co.nz/diy_plans/), though not as tall if you're going to use the technique shown in that video (knees-up sitting on the seat rather than a full-on squat above the pan - see the different height stools on this page (http://www.lillipad.co.nz/)). The main advantage of squat-stools over a milk-crate or something is that they fit neatly round the toilet, but they also let you spread your feet further apart which can be more comfortable.

I think that's grav3yardgirl. She does reviews and things on Youtube. Can be described as eccentric, has a thing for winged gators. That GIF is from a trip to Target for school supplies. Has a hardcore southern drawl, which may explain why the caption doesn't match the mouth movements.

No, it's just the limitations of gifs. Like I can see her saying "wear a tiara" but it doesn't match all of it and that always bothers me when you can see someone talking more than a word or two in gifs because it's just...ugh. Just show a picture with words or a video, damn it.

This only applies to pencils made of actual wood and not the compressed particle stuff.  Not to mention a broken plastic/mechanical pencil has many jagged edges and points...

I wonder if they'll surpass last year's shitty sale. I honestly don't know what to make of these things. I mean, they say they are doing it to protest Black Friday. By selling things that really nobody should want. But they make a ton of money and keep it. I'm not sure if that's a brilliant or sad commentary on the state of the world and retail sales.

Mulaney's the fucking boss.

I watched the whole thing with a giant grin, that only got bigger when she threw a little something extra in there (which she did a lot and it never got less impressive)

Just came across this in the PPMB Board. They are a remarkable set of early Photographs taken of some of the last survivors of Napoleons Grand Armee preportedly taken around 1858 when these men were in their 80's and 90's. They are pictured in the actual Uniforms they wore while serving in Napoleons Army.

I know that "marihuana" is the actual spelling in Spanish, at least in Spain. Now, where the English language imported "marijuana" from (since it probably was) and how they write it there is a different story, since country language variations (that you probably know a ton of too).

My dictionary lists "marihuana" as a correct alternative spelling, and I think it is more phonetically representative of the Spanish pronunciation, isn't it? The source is listed as "Latin American Spanish", but yo no hablo Español, so I can't comment.

Okay, this thread took off so I'm very late, but:

Yeah, but gifs can be easily downloaded and moved, gifvs can't.

Who the hell downloads gifs and attaches them to emails? I know gifs are old fashioned, but really??

Also, from the article linked earlier:

Quote
Imgur says it will always give users the option to download the actual GIF file, but then you're giving up all the advantages of GIFV.

Forgive my French, but no you bloody well do not. It's much quicker to look at the thing in the first place; that's not an advantage you lose whether you decide to download it or not. Once you've decided to download it (again, who the hell does that, but apparently someone does), then it takes just as long as the original gif, yes. But at least it only takes an age to download the few you decide to download instead of every single one you want to look at (which is surely a heck of a lot more).

The vast majority of gifs are reaction gif things you've seen a million times. Who's going to download those? I'd really rather just not have to wait all day to find out it's one I've seen a million times, thanks.

Texting gifs doesn't work for me. The phone wants to compress the gif and make it into a jpeg both in my standard phone message app and WhatsApp. Unless I'm misunderstandinga and r you mean a different message app, like Facebook messenger, where I'd still link by default to give the person the choice of opening it first. WhatsApp and the phone's standard app are the only places I'd use the term "texting".

Clicking a link isn't really much in terms of work compared to clicking an image to full screen it, especially if a person is using WiFi. Plus when it's a link, I don't have to preview or download it to view it. Using a phone's browser is a more reliable way of viewing a gif in my experience. I can understand for a jpeg because it's not as intensive to load.  Linking here has a forum built function for doing so, so it makes sense to use it here. It's not as streamlined an experience on phones yet.

I do download gifs to use as reaction images on Tumblr. They're easier for large posts compared to embedding, but it has a built in gif search engine on the browser and phone app now so it's only if I want a really specific one I go to my gif folder.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: Method of Madness on 10 Jan 2016, 07:02
Strange. If I get a gif as a text (at least on an iPhone and most Androids) it shows up as a gif in the main message body. Anyway, that's just my thoughts on gifs, I guess it's ok to send a link, just not what I like to do.

As for pointless stuff, I saw one of those silly clickbaity articles on "new words and what they mean" or whatever, and I saw this unfortunate (but hilarious) ad placement.

Latin American, most certainly.  Totally different dialect, unless one mixes with the upper classes, where speaking Castillian is more common.  I have known people from the UK who spoke Spanish who where almost mutually incomprehensible with Spanish speakers in the US who were of the working class.

For all intents and purposes, yes. We just don't write the A.
Also this is only "goal" in the sense of "scoring a goal". Any other meaning of goal is generally translated as "meta".
Which also translates as "finish".

I...don't get it.

In one of the metroid sequels Samus has all her abilities and weapons from the previous games but is told by the leader of a team co-operating with her that she is not allowed to use them, just because.  Even though it would be adventitious to use the powers/abilities (and out right save some of the team members).  This is her putting him in her suit and giving him a taste of his own medicine.

More specifically in the situation, the officer who she needs permission from is an ex-lover and there is no real reason for her to listen to the guy. She's a bounty hunter, not a soldier under his command. It was just a reason to explain why Samus couldn't just use all the power ups she had from previous games from they very start, but they picked the stupidest and most misogynistic explanation for it. Also problematic in Other M is Samus spends way to much time expressing her feelings of inadequacy over not having a man in her life, when she's always been shown as a strongly independent woman. Basically they took one of the strongest feminist icons in gaming and did a 180 turn on her personality for that game.

The top picture is cute.. The funny thing being, given what we found out in the recent birthday episode Steven may never look like that... He might be the eternal 11 year old. Unless he gets poofed and reforms. Something that they're understandably reluctant to test out since catastrophic damage could result in him poofing, or dying... On the other hand, he did grow more or less normally as a human till 11, so maybe his aging just slowed way, way down. so many questions!

We'll see how long it sticks. It's not the first time... I mean, I'm not expecting her to go back anytime soon, since the whole point of her solo series is moving on and healing as a person... But a few years and a new writing team, her going back is probably going to happen.  :x And of course, there's Suicide Squad coming out.

Post by: osaka on 19 Feb 2016, 01:39
It's funny because imgur is actively trying to eliminate the gif format, even if it does with a convoluted wrapper format.

On blocking animated images, I should check in Vivaldi's settings if it is there, but I don't want to :/

And on the gif ending... It's simple, make a format that's as immensely portable and easy to use as gif and you'll probably make it work. That means stuff like easy embedding on forums for example.

EDIT: On the comments of that commitstrip, one person mentioned APNG (which is something that's literally in the PNG file format definition), but apparently only firefox and safari support it. Vivaldi isn't on the list but for this appliance in particular Vivaldi could act as Chrome, which doesn't. The question becomes "when's APNG support", rather than "when's gif ending"
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.

It's not in Vivaldi (which I'm using now), but at least there are extensions available, although only some really work right.  I've been using gifjam.

I haven't heard of them doing the door to door thing in quite a while. Mostly I find them set up in front of grocery stores or shopping centers. Either that or if you know/work with some who's child is in the scouts, they usually push around order forms you can sign up to buy from.

Post by: hedgie on 24 Feb 2016, 12:17
They do go door to door, but I think that it's earlier in the year.  They do sell them at various places, most noticeably around stores where they sell weed these days, since girl scouts *do* know that stoners get the munchies.

Some grocery stores have them, but I never know exactly when they sell them (sometimes scout groups also sell food in front of random stores) all I know is that it's always in warmer months.

Also, if you do find them, buy thin mints.

Back when I was in high school the neighbors' children would come door-to-door to sell them.  Nowadays I see the girl scouts set up shop outside of the super market.  The thing, is they're only available for a small amount of time each year (I believe it's at the beginning of Spring, so get ready!)

The first year that the neighbors across the street were in girl scouts my Mom went a bit too far and ordered one box of every type... It was a delicous, fattening Spring.

And in time it came to pass that Leonardo DiCaprio, who was already a millionaire, won his meaningless bobblehead for playing pretend in some snow. And the LORD spake then unto the people, saying: “Lo, I have granted thy prayers: be content therefore, and obey the LORD thy God, and make no more memes.” But the people were foolish and sinful, having made idols of the Meme, and heeded not the voice of the LORD: and the new memes were plentiful and did multiply. And the LORD spake unto them again, saying “Please, stop: this hath not been funny since like 2013, if then.” But the people ignored him, for they were on their phones, tweeting #FINALLY LOL 😂😂😂😂. And the LORD regretted then that he had made man: and wise men likewise regretted that they had been made.

There Is Nothing is a creepy short film by David B. Earle, who is actually is an artist and filmmaker from Denmark with a steadily growing portfolio. No matter how diverse his style may become, it’s likely that he’ll be best known for this one-minute film. Intended to be played on loop infinitely, it challenges the viewer to an interesting game: See how many loops you can watch without closing it reflexively.According to Earle, “When looped, there is no actual beginning or end, and no real sense of where the beginning and end actually are. This piece was inspired by a personal paradoxical desire for empirical proof that there is nothing on the ‘other’ side of life.”

The very short version of it... In the world of Full Metal Alchemist, trying to use alchemy on living people turns out badly, always. We spend several episodes of the main characters staying with and learning from an alchemist, and getting to know him and his sweet daughter and her dog. Once everyone had been charmed by these two, alchemy was used to merge the girl and the dog and like I said... It didn't turn out well. In a lot of ways, it's a defining moment for the main characters, and represented a lot, both in their lives, and in the tone of the story. As such, for fans of the show it is a huge emotional moment. In a very real sense, that storyline is when the main characters stopped being children and had to face some very hard realities about their world and their craft. Not that they hadn't already....

One of my main issues with Brotherhood is how cack-handedly that episode is handled, but I am told the original version does it better. I've not bothered watching to find out.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: Neko_Ali on 21 Apr 2016, 06:43
It has been a while since I saw the original version. Watching Brotherhood some years after seeing the original confused me at first, until I realized it was a retelling of the same story, which I always thought was strange. But yeah, as I remember, the original FMA that story was much better done. It just kind of felt that FMA:B they tried to speed through it... Which is funny, because yes, it was not a central point to the main storyline, it was an important character arc for the brothers, especially Edward.

Reasons why this is crap:

1. It starts out easy enough, and then the you realize the past tense of ‘lie’ is also the present tense of ‘lay.’ 

2. Once you lay a book on the desk, it isn’t laying there. It’s lying there.

Even after all that, you think you’ve got it right, but then…

3. When you go on vacation, you spend your time lying on the beach, not laying in the sand - unless you’re doin’ the nasty, in which case you would be ‘laying someone in the sand’ (and getting sand all up in your… you know).

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Got shot.

Why did a second monkey fall out of the tree? He was stapled to the first monkey.

Knock Knock?

Not Sally, she ain't got no arms.

Except GH doesn't make the F sound at the start of a word, and AFAIK no word in Engnish that ends in TI makes the SH sound, so at best, GHOTI is pronounced as "goty" with either a short or long O.

English may be absurd, but it still has rules.

As far as the 'ough' lesson goes, I don't hear a difference between 'through' and 'slough'.  I'd pronounce ough the same in both words.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: Akima on 10 May 2016, 19:09
I pronounce through as "throo", and slough as "slow", with the "ow" spoken to rhyme with plough (US: plow). I pronounce though as "thoe" to rhyme with toe and dough. For me, the three sounds are quite distinct, but I don't think there is a consistent rule about -ough that makes them so. I just had to memorise them arbitrarily as part of my ESL training, where we were aiming for "educated standard Australian" pronunciation.
(click to show/hide)

As for "the Beast":

Edit: It occurred to me later that slough can also be pronounced "sluff", as in a snake sloughing off its skin. English is so weird.

Which one?  Since it's near summer, I do keep a small one as part of my EDC.  I have another hanging over the shower rail, another for my face by the sink…

gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining

because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe

and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us— we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them

and then

we built robots?

and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image

and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone

but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?

the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.

and they told us to tell you hello.

You know that house you pass when you get lost on a back road?
Every back road in Pennsylvania has one.

The house the forest has been lazily trying to reclaim since the day it was built, tucked neatly between somewhere and nowhere?

You know the one I mean.

It’s just a house, of course. You tell yourself that it’s just a house, anyhow. You’re a rational person, and it’s just a regular house. There’s a suburb like a mile back, for Christ’s sake. You’re not exactly stranded. Just lost. It’s late, and you need to turn around.

The porch is a heap of deer skulls and axes and water-logged indoor furniture, and you try to slow your breathing. Plenty of people hunt. Plenty of people chop firewood. Plenty of people survive turning around in someone’s driveway, so why are you being such a baby? What are you afraid of?

And surely it’s a safer place to reset your GPS than the… Well, what must have been a farm, once… up the road. With its single, emaciated horse and its howling, feral cats and its tetanus-trap of vine-choked, scrap-ravaged cars.

Surely this is safer, you think.

And you’d be right, most nights.

I mean, there’s an even chance you’ll be pulling chunks of deer out of the grille of your car if you panic and drive away too fast, but that’s not the house’s fault. That’s just Pennsylvania for ya’.

Most nights, everything is perfectly fine, and you’ll laugh it off as sleep-deprived paranoia and arrive at your destination unscathed and unchanged.

But every so often… If the sky is clear and the air is crisp, and you listen very carefully, you’ll hear me…

I’m there, you know…

Perched on the roof, just outside of your view, just fuckin’ shreddin’ on this toy accordion I got on Craigslist for ten bucks. Just, like, reallllly goin’ at it like you would not believe, whispering, “Hell yeah,” every few measures.

I’m getting pretty good, actually.

Yes. It means it is raining very heavily. The phrase, or variations of it, date back to the 1600's.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: LTK on 16 Jul 2016, 08:39
I'm not disputing the meaning of the phrase, I'm disputing the meaning of 'metaphor'. I thought metaphors were supposed to be symbolic of something, like "the sky has broken open" meaning a sudden onset of rain, or "when it rains, it pours" meaning when something bad happens, the worst happens. The leap from "it's raining heavily" to "it's raining cats and dogs" doesn't seem to have much symbolism.

Wikipedia describes metaphors in detail (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor), which makes me even more confused.

I know, I'm killing the joke deader than dead - is that a metaphor?

Quote
once there was a man who drove the train for a living. he loved it; it was something he’d wanted to do since he was a little boy. his favourite part was making the train go as fast as possible.

one day, however, because he was going so fast, the train got into an accident. now the man made it out safely but unfortunately, one passenger died. so, the man was put on trial, found guilty, and sentenced to execution.

the day came when the man was meant to be executed and he requests a banana for his last meal. he ate his banana, sat in the chair, and the executioner flipped the switch. sparks flew, but the man emerged alive.

now, around this time there was a law that stated if a person were to survive an execution, it was a sign of divine intervention and the prisoner was to be let go. so, the man was released.

he got his job back as a train driver, and having learned nothing from his previous mistakes, continued on driving the train recklessly. of course, the train soon got into another accident.

now again, the man was put on trial, found guilty and sentenced to death. and, for his last meal, he requested two bananas. so, he ate his bananas, was strapped into the chair, and the executioner flipped the switch. once again, the man was totally fine, and released.

now, would you believe that he got his old job back again? our reckless train driver seems to have learned nothing, because he continued to drive the train overly fast and recklessly. of course, he got into an accident for a third time.

once again the man was put on trial, found guilty, and sentenced to death.

the day came and he requested his last meal - three bananas. at this point the executioner said, “no, i’m sick of you coming in here, eating your banana and walking out unscathed. let’s just do this.”

 so, without eating his bananas, the man was strapped to the electric chair, the executioner flipped the switch and - the man was completely unharmed. the executioner was dumbfounded.

“oh, the bananas have nothing to do with it,” the man explained, “i’m just a bad conductor.”

That took four attempts and eventually involved going to their link, right-clicking the picture, and choosing "Copy Link Location" to get the information they used to supply up front.

They've hidden it well. First you have to hover your mouse over the picture you just uploaded, then a link appears with a button with an arrow on it next to it. Hover your mouse over that button, and then a link to "Get share links" appears. Click that, then the information you want will appear.

Hell no. 1.That is a fucking horrible thing to say for a variety of reasons, and 2.Switzerland is tough to beat. Regardless, I still think we're great, and getting better all the time.

It's the standard politician/cult leader trick though. Convince someone that a problem or enemy exists that either isn't really there, or no where as dire as it's made out to be. Then convince them that you and only you can fix the problem/protect them from the bogeyman. Con someone into it and you have control over them and don't actually have to do anything, since there was never any real problem or danger to begin with.

The Olympics are another area that just trigger me. They build these expensive purpose-built structures that cost in the Billions to make, and then they just fall into disrepair. I feel that it would be better to just have one location set up for the Olympics, and just maintain the structures that are built there. "The Olympics are about world unity or whatever" you might say. Yeah, well the world can unify in this one city.

My suggestion? Bring it on home to Marathon, Greece. I'm sure the Greeks aren't going to use their title as the Home of the Olympics to try to rule the world or whatever, and it would beat the crap out of stuff like THIS happening (https://www.google.com/search?q=olympic+venues+then+and+now&hl=en&biw=1920&bih=965&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjF5ueOksjOAhWJ4iYKHfV7A2gQ_AUIBygC).

I'm not. That was right about my high school years as I remember. Though back them I found them a lot more irritating. Probably because of repetition. I can like their more popular songs now when played rarely. Less so when I heard them all the time on the radio.

If you drop an ant from the top of the Empire State Building, will it die? (http://www.theverge.com/tldr/2016/6/10/11894028/ant-dropped-from-empire-state-building-science-experiment)

In the ‘90s, there was a popular Korean TV show called Curiosity Heaven (It does not translate well) that conducted experiments based on these weird hypothetical questions.

In one episode of Curiosity Heaven, the hosts took ants to the top of the 63 Building (Seoul’s equivalent of The Tall Skyscraper Tourist Attraction in Every City, named for the number of floors it has) to drop them off. The question of the episode: if you drop an ant off a skyscraper, will it survive?

After coming to a theoretical conclusion through a lot of math and physics that the ants would survive an 820-foot fall, the plan was put into action. But as the hosts summited the top of the skyscraper, they discovered all of the ants had exploded from the atmospheric pressure. That’s right: exploded.

If that’s not the biggest plot twist I’ve ever read in my life, then I don’t know what is.

Post by: Neko_Ali on 31 Aug 2016, 11:24
Background on the joke: Before becoming Solider 76, he was team leader of Overwatch. As such, a running joke is that he's 'Team Dad'. It helps that a lot of his in game voice lines are stuff like  'back in my day we'd have this payload delivered by now' and 'Get these jokers off my point!'. Cementing him as  the crotchety old fart. D.Va on the other hand is the youngest hero. She's a professional gamer turned mecha jockey and is loud, arrogant and seen as 'team baby/daughter' to a lot of the other heroes.

Bonus point: The guy in the skull mask is Reaper, who was 76's best friend before they got into a fight and blew up their headquarters. He was leader of the sister team Blackwatch, which did all the dirty jobs. Fans depict him as a 60 year old Edgelord and he and 76 are often depicted as co-dads to the team, or rival fathers living out their feud through their kids.

I know, if you have to explain the joke.. But unless you are into the fan community around these characters,  you just wouldn't get it anyway.

The Olympics are another area that just trigger me. They build these expensive purpose-built structures that cost in the Billions to make, and then they just fall into disrepair. I feel that it would be better to just have one location set up for the Olympics, and just maintain the structures that are built there. "The Olympics are about world unity or whatever" you might say. Yeah, well the world can unify in this one city.

My suggestion? Bring it on home to Marathon, Greece. I'm sure the Greeks aren't going to use their title as the Home of the Olympics to try to rule the world or whatever, and it would beat the crap out of stuff like THIS happening (https://www.google.com/search?q=olympic+venues+then+and+now&hl=en&biw=1920&bih=965&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjF5ueOksjOAhWJ4iYKHfV7A2gQ_AUIBygC).

Except for the Space Wolves chapter.  They are the only social ones...that may explain why the other chapters don't like them very much.  The wolves drink, prank, and have fun.  Meanwhile the Ultramarine brother next door is complaining about the noise while he's trying to study his codex.

The inverse Subtitles from English to Jive with the two Jive Dudes is classic


And if your unaware of it, Airplane!, which was released in 1980 was, to all intents an purpose, a shot-for-shot comedic remake of a 1957 Drama Film called Zero Hour.  The 1957 Film was written by Alex Hailey, who would go on to pen the Novel turned Film Airport!

Here is a side-by-side comparison of Zero Hour and Airplane!.

Yeah. That'll happen.

Great students make it all worth it though.

Then you crack a joke about UKIP in a lesson and realise that 30% of the students in there would vote UKIP.

Then you decide to stop directly expressing your political views.

My favorite part of this is that there was a period of time where Archie just expectantly watched Reggie cut the crust off his pizza for what was probably like two minutes and was just wondering how the fuck that was going to turn into half a pizza.
“Archie-”

I have the same thing going on.  With bipolar disorder, I'm really Jekyll and Hyde, and not realising this has probably set me back years.  When I'm not depressed, I can do things like go to a bar and enjoy myself, take in some music, have a few drinks, having no urge for more.  Hyde pre-drinks, then tends to make a mess of things, because he doesn't care.

Post by: sitnspin on 09 Oct 2016, 12:12
Yea, most of the time I'm really functional. I drink regularly, but not destructively. When the depression hits hard, I tend to head straight into self-medication. Honestly, compared to what I was like when I was younger, before I found a system of self-care and mental health maintenance, I was way worse, like three OD's worse. I'm pretty stable most of the time, these days. I still have triggers that can set me off, but I have systems in place to keep me in check for when it gets bad.

horse people are spectacular to listen to bc they love to go on about the “trust” between horses and people and it’s just enchanting. I leave that conversation completely mesmerized by the idea that a person actually trusts  one of those fucking demon creatures when you can see it on their face that there is no life or love in their eyes. horses are the ready vessels of a vengeful, hateful god and we should leave them to eat the fucking ground in peace

These koi are really aggressive. But look at the markings!
Fun fact: These aren’t koi, they’re ordinary goldfish! A lot of people think that koi are just large outdoor goldfish, but they are actually separate species. However, like koi, goldfish can easily grow to tremendous sizes and live a long time, provided they’re given adequate space and nutrition.

Wast he Bee movie reference an actual thing? I mean we know Trump didn't write his inauguration speech. It was mostly coherent. And we know that a bunch of the speech was cribbed from other sources and movies so.. it wouldn't surprise me. I if anything shocked the writer didn't squeeze in a reference to the Independence Day speech.

Near the beginning of the intro to Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Peach is seen making a shot. Even though a sound effect of her hitting the ball plays and her facial expression suggests that it flew in a high arc, watching the ball closely reveals that it doesn’t actually move from the tee, indicating that she missed the swing.

He was an icon of comedy both here in New Zealand where his career began and in Australia.  He crated the character of Fred Dagg,  a character that became a Kiwi icon for my generation.  He  will be missed both here and across the ditch.

Is there a word for when you're looking at something for a while and don't get the joke until later? I just had that moment for the Super Watermelon Island episode of Steven Universe:

Worth noting that sheep can sometimes have difficulty righting themselves. If you see one like this, approach it slowly and if it doesn't get to it's feet and run away then either a) help it get up or b) notify a nearby farmer. If you can't find a farmer nearby, see a.

My earliest encounters with Anime was ironically a show on Nickelodeon about Grimm Fairy Tales that always played around lunch time during the weekdays.  I was perusing TVTropes and came across "Bearskin."  Reading the synopsis of it I got an immediate flashback of one of my favorite episodes of that show.  The nostalgia was incredible...and I just found it on youtube.

I often fantasize a production of HMS Pinafore with the crew of the TNG Enterprise.

Sir Joseph Porte: Data or Riker
Captain Corcoran: Picard
Tom Tucker: Geordie
Ralph Rakestraw: Riker or Data
Dick Deadeye: Worf (I mean, it would be the perfect for him!)
Bill Bobstay: O'Brien
Bob Becket: Westley
Josephine: Troi
Hebe: Guinan
Mrs. Cripps: Dr. Crusher

Apparently I wasn't the only one with this thought!!!!!

edit: watching more of this production and they made Sir Joseph into old man Kirk!

Ah superhero physics.

Where people can be exposed to lethal levels of radiation and gain superpowers, instead of disintegrating over a period of weeks.

Where someone can be bitten by a radioactive spider and gain spider powers and not get sick.

Where a rich guy can pay for dozens of suits of power armour worth billions of dollars and write it off as a business expense because he has a small power generator embedded in his chest.

Where a guy can be an ice cube for over fifty years but defrosted no worse for wear.

Bit old-timey, but still fairly common, yes. Apparently, it's student-slang from Goethe's time that became so popular it even entered medical textbooks.

Alternatively, hungover Germans are said to "have a Tomcat" ('einen Kater haben').

Quippet the Shaman's apprentice (as well as the verbiage following the URL, which you should visit for the picture) is the original creation of the artist Ursula Vernon.

https://www.deviantart.com/art/Quippet-Shaman-s-Apprentice-358983150


Quippet didn’t want to be a shaman.

He didn’t like shamany things. Incense set off his asthma. He wasn’t good at chanting. Fasting made him feel hungry, not enlightened. And the Spotted Mushroom Drink made him throw up, and one time he’d been out getting it and gotten between some reindeer and the mushrooms and…well…it was ugly. He’d needed a whole lot of stitches. Reindeer are hardcore.

The problem was that he heard voices.

Crazy-Wool, the tribe’s shaman, told him that the spirits were tormenting him and his only choice was to become initiated as a shaman, go into the spirit world, and battle them into submission. “The spirits must be bent to your will!” bleated Crazy-Wool, his breath reeking of the Spotted Mushroom Drink. “They will drive you down into madness unless you have the strength to resist their wickedness!”

“Uh-huh,” said Quippet, trying not to cough.

The elder shaman told him, sometimes two or three times a day, how vital it was that he stand strong against the influence of the spirit-voices, that he refuse to listen to their wiles, and that if they ever told him to do anything, he was to come to Crazy-Wool immediately.

Quippet always agreed—and felt guilty—and went to go alphabetize the magic rocks.

Truth was, the spirit voices told him to do things all the time.

They said “It’s snowing out, you better wear a hat or you’ll catch your death.”

They said “You should have a hot cup of tea and everything’ll look better in the morning.”

They said “You try to have a nice day now, Quippet.”

They said “You’re a good sheep, Quippet, you keep your chin up and watch out for those nasty reindeer.”

And every year on his birthday, they all sang a rousing chorus of “For He’s A Jolly Good Sheep” and took turns telling him how much they valued his friendship and how proud they were of all he’d accomplished. One of the voices even composed a small poem in his honor. (It wasn’t a terribly good poem, but all the voices cheered anyway and Quippet had been very moved and a little confused.)

He didn’t want to go into the spirit world and battle them. He was horribly afraid that if he tried, he’d come back out with a cup of tea and a small note saying that everyone loved him very much and wanted him to be happy.

It was all very worrisome.

So an old friend and I met up in DC for lunch to catch up.  We haven't seen each other in a year, so lunch was just not enough time to get up to speed.  The establishment was was anxious to get rid of us since they know we wouldn't be ordering more and they wanted the space for new customers. This can be common in the US, granted we stayed an additional hour after finishing our meal.  Being that I live in DC, there were plenty of places to walk and talk. We walked several blocks to get to the DC mall and walked the grounds.  There was some sort of christian or religious festival and concert happening on the mall.  We past it and sat along the waterfront of the Grant memorial in front of the Capital building.  We had been catching up for about 6 hours when we decided we should return home to our wives.  As we left the Grant monument, we saw a peculiar site.  3 men were on the other side of the street (diagonally from us) waiting to cross to our same destination. "Yep, those are penises" I said.  There was a young Indian man on a bike waiting to cross with us and he looked over too.  The 3 of us just started laughing.  2 of the 3 men on the other side of the road were wearing giant inflatable penis costumes, complete with testicles.  We snapped some photos of the walking chodes as they walked by on their way to the christian festival, which I am sure was their target.  I sent said knob pictures to my brother to warn him about moving to DC as there are too many dicks here.  He laughed hysterically.  I would post the picture here but I am sure the mods would be quite upset.

TL;DR - And that's the story of how I sent my brother an unsolicited dick pic.

Quote
“hello,” the dark lord said, “i need a library card.”

“everyone needs a library card,” the librarian said brightly, sliding a form across the desk. “fill this out.”

the dark lord produced her own elaborated plumed quill from the depths of her robes and scrawled her name in handwriting that was completely illegible but seemed to whisper the secrets of the dark from the blinding white page. “yes, but i need mine in order to take over the tri-kingdom area.”

the librarian’s polite smile barely faltered. “funny, the last dark lord to try that didn’t bother with a card.”

“yes, and do you see that fool currently ruling our kingdom? no. of course not. utterly ridiculous, to attempt to take over any size country without a library card, much less an intermediate-sized one like this.” she accepted the thin plastic card with a gracious flourish of her gloved hand.

the librarian, adding the new card’s number to the database, privately agreed, but chose not to say anything.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the librarian balanced the pile of pulled books under one elbow and held the list of call numbers in their hand for easy consultation. “intermediate spell casting for grades three and four,” they murmured, running fingers along the peeling spines until they found it. “willing to bet that’s sorrel’s request.”

they fit the large, paperbound book under their elbow and moved on, checking the list again. “magical creatures encyclopedia, L through M. that’s jackaby trying to finish the entire set by midsummer.” they would get that one last to carry it around the shortest amount of time.

“next — the complete guide to raising the dead.” they paused in front of the row of shelves with the right call numbers. they could guess the requester of that one too, but knew better than to say it out loud.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the return slot thunked loudly as it swung open and closed, having swallowed the returned books with a wet gulp.

“good morning,” the dark lord said pleasantly as she looked up from sliding her books in — or as pleasantly as “good morning” could sound when it was uttered by a voice that sounded like gravel being chewed to pieces by the jaws of a large monster.

“it is, very,” the librarian said crisply, conjuring a clean handkerchief for the still-slobbering return slot.

the mouth just visible under the dark lord’s enormous cloak hood curved into a scythe’s blade smile, but she said nothing else.

“did you enjoy your books?” the librarian asked, since she wasn’t moving and there were no other people waiting (most likely because of the dark lord standing there).

the hood nodded up and down. “extremely. especially the taped lecture by doctor dramidius ardorius of the dark arts institute.”

“well, we have many more taped lectures. i especially recommend the one on the healing powers of tea.” they tilted their head in a now get out sign. the poor steam-powered self-checkout contraption would get overheated if people were too scared to check out at the front desk.

they didn’t really expect the dark lord to take the recommendation seriously, but the next day they noticed the cloaked, hooded specter glide out the door with the taped lecture on magic-infused herbal teas tucked between a CD of dark chants and a step-by-step art book on drawing occult symbols.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“you give good recommendations,” the dark lord said with a shrug when the librarian raised their eyes from the front desk’s computer to the shadows of her hood.

the librarian wasn’t sure what to say. “you seem to take up quite a lot of my time.”

“i’m only a simple library patron,” the dark lord replied in a saintly voice that resembled a dragon coughing up a partially digested house. “do you enjoy mermaid song?”

“yes. you can find the library’s collection in the CD section over there.” they looked pointedly back down at the computer.

“i hear there’s a concert on the shore tomorrow evening.”

“perhaps we’ll get a recording of it.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the dark lord continued taking out books on various unsavory topics. the librarian continued suggesting books on healing, positive thinking, and community service. the dark lord seemed more amused with each visit. her smile was almost charming, when you got past the long, sharp teeth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the librarian was trying to go about their usual morning ritual of pulling books that had been requested the night before, but the dark lord wouldn’t stop making faces at them from behind gaps in the shelves. she seemed to find it hilarious. the librarian hadn’t decided yet if they were amused or annoyed.

“ooh, look at this,” the dark lord said, pulling a sturdy but beaten up board book featuring a werewolf mid-transformation on the cover from the shelf. “this was my favorite when i was just a little menace.”

“somehow i’m not surprised.”

the dark lord tucked the book into the ridiculous basket made of a large skull that floated alongside her. “didn’t you have a favorite picture book when you were little?”

“Barker the Sentient Book End,” the librarian said promptly. “i screamed for it every night until someone read it to me, long after i’d already memorized each page.”

the dark lord cooed, sounding like a cross between an owl and something eating an owl. “adorable. i knew you had a little monster in you somewhere.”

the librarian crossly debated denying being a monster at all or pointing out they had actual kraken blood in them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

they should have guessed how close the dark lord was from how good her mood was, but it wasn’t until they arrived at work on monday that the librarian heard the news.

“the newest dark lord managed to overthrow the faeyrie monarchy last night. something about combining traditional herbal spells with a newfangled mental magic based on the power of willful thinking… or something. the news reporter mentioned the use of mermaid song in a mild kind of mind control, i think? i wasn’t listening. the good news is, our budget stays in place.”

the librarian contemplated hurling the can of bookmarks across the room, but concluded that it would be both unprofessional and unsatisfying. they settled for aggressively stamping returned, only slightly saliva-covered books with red ink.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the phone clicked loudly. “public library, how can i help you?”

“by taking my offer,” the dark lord said, slightly hesitant voice like a rock slide that wasn’t sure it was ready to slide. “the royal library in the capital needs a new head librarian.”

“why’s that?” the librarian spun in their new swivel chair, tangling the phone cord while they were at it, thinking they wouldn’t want to leave so soon after getting it.

there was a cough like the ocean spitting out a new island. “erm, hmm, last one got… eaten. tragic. these things happen when you’re very, very small, you know.”

“so i’ve heard.” the librarian stretched the phone cord and watched it bounce back. “well, i’m happy where i am.”

“well.” her voice was more disappointed than they’d expected. “it’s a very nice library, you know. large selection of mermaid song in the CD section.”

“the royal library is part of our system. i can request any materials from there that i want to be delivered here.”

a pause. the dark lord had not considered this. “well, maybe i’ll take the royal library out of the system.”

“you wouldn’t dare disrupt the workings of our very intricate library system set up at the dawn of time.”

“maybe i would!”

“no.”

“fine. i wouldn’t.”

the librarian swiveled some more, wrapping the cord around with them until it ran out of give and spun them in the other direction. “would you like to grab a coffee sometime?”

“yes,” the dark lord said, voice too surprised to resemble anything in particular. “i can travel down meet you tomorrow morning.”

“don’t you have things to do?”

they could sense the shrug from the other end of the line. “i’ll move the capital to your town. i can do that, you know. i’m the supreme ruler of the tri-kingdom area.”

“yes,” the librarian agreed, un-spinning to return the phone to its cradle. “just don’t forget who gave you the library card.”

What are the odds that the adorable moppet in the image wasn't the first to have the idea of squirting the water-cannon truck with a squirt gun?

Suppose they'd been coming to the park for various events for a long time, and seen a bunch of adorable, completely non-threatening moppets with squirt guns?

I figure it's entirely reasonable for an officer to bring along a squirt pistol for a "proportionate response." Many officers are parents, or remember being children...

Instructions for a walk in the woods

-Never turn around to check behind you. You’ll see nothing, but once you start doing it you won’t be able to stop, and an ominous feeling will follow you until you don’t lock your house’s door behind you.
-If you stand very still and listen you will hear the woods calling for you. Don’t answer. Never answer.
-You’ll hear things quietly following you, hidden in the trees by your sides. It’s okay, they’re just checking on you.
-Don’t be scared, but be really, really wary.
-If you have a bad feeling about taking a certain path, don’t. You’ll avoid whatever is waiting for you at the end of it.
-You never know what may be buried under the soil you’re walking on. Remember that every time you take a step. Pray that whatever it is, it won’t wake up.
-Be careful not to step on any beetle, or you’ll never get rid of them.
-If you bring a knife with you, name it. Otherwise the blade will turn against you as soon as you try to use it.
-Make sure you remember the way back home. As soon as you get lost, you’re just another piece of fresh meat.

I sort of reached that 'farrk living there' conclusion about Australia, when cataloging the venomous snakes in our respective habitats.  As a boy I had to worry about only three kinds:  Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouths, and Water Moccasins.  Most of the things I might meet on a given day weren't trying to kill me, and furthermore weren't equipped to do so if they had wanted to. 

By contrast, as I understand it, in Australia pretty much EVERY species of snake is lethally venomous.

Of the 25 most venomous species of snakes in the world, 20 are indigenous to Australia. Not all our snake species are venomous, but I believe Australia is the only country in which the majority of snake species are venomous. I have venomous snakes and spiders in my garden, but it's no big deal. I leave them alone, and they leave me alone. I do wear gloves and boots when gardening though. ;)

So, last night I'm sitting surfing the net while my partner sits in the next room listening to 80s music.

Then:

*80s music pauses*
*silence*
"yanny...yanny... yanny..."
"For God's sake...!"
*80s music resumes* 🎶

malcolm in the middle sequel where everyone is older except for dewey who is the same exact age

Series finale reveals Dewey as the centuries-old family patriarch when Hal’s latest hobby (capoeira) shatters the hourglass containing his tormented soul. Dewey knows he’s not yet made his penance to the world but calmly accepts he can never change what happened in 1346 and that maybe he deserves the peace of death after all. The final shot of the show sees Dewey, surrounded by his loving family, as ages rapidly into a cadaver, a skeleton, dust, and finally a single humble flower, as the screen fades to black and we hear a final echo of “life is unfair”

I've been seeing "yanny or laurel" lately so I decided to look it up. Apparently if you listen to google pronounce laurel some people hear yanny.

So I took up this challenge.  It sounds like laurel to me.  I recruited some of my co-workers, they all hear laurel as well.

I don't get it. :venonat:

Don't start!  :mrgreen:

FWIW, when I first heard it I was told it was my ears. Then I heard it on a different device and it changed, so I thought it was the speakers. Then I listened on the same device later and it flipped again (and has done so almost every time I've subsequently re-listened), so I've come to the conclusion, as I so often do, that it's all in my head.

Here's a version that moves the pitch up and down. See what this does to you.

Okay, we've all seen the trope of bulletproof nudity when applied to female characters in games whose "full plate mail" consists of a shiny bikini with a few spikes.

But how far can it be pushed?   Today I ran across an image that makes absolute nonsense.

Lady, you are busted to private.  Get off of that thing and report back to boot camp immediately.  Hint:  It's armor.  It's big heavy futuristic awesome armor.  But armor doesn't work unless you're inside it.   Oh, and you're also getting discipline for being out of uniform!

I think its suppose to be a penitent engine for Warhamemr 40k.  Since its not from the actual miniature range they branded it "Space Crusade."  I guess they thought it would be cooler to make them look more like a dreadnought than a chicken with saw arms. Also with a more "sexy" acolyte in need of penance?  Warhammer can be weird.

My 4 month old daughter was crying on our bed, wanting to be picked up.  I was lying next to her and she was looking at my wife and trying to signal that she wanted to be picked up so I started singing evanescence.

"pick me up"
"pick me up now mom!"
"can't pick up"
"pick me up now mom!"
"RAISE MEEEEEEEHHHHH!"

We both proceeded to laugh to the point of doubling over.  Daughter stopped crying but was confused.

Ever have one of those moments when you've been trying to figure something out for a long-ish time (measured in years in this case), and it's one of those "imponderables" where there are a million people with a million opinions? 

One of those tough nuts where philosophers are the main people discussing it, and mostly they're just talking about how people feel about the question and what the question means and what they want the answer to be, but you need an actual specific real-world answer?  Where there's no consensus anywhere and you've had a hundred ideas that, when you examined them closely, weren't quite right....  and then someone tells you something and you instantly know it's the correct answer, and you probably knew it already but not consciously, and it turned out to be simple all along? 

Yeah.  I had one of those yesterday.  I picked up what has to be the fiftieth book or so on the topic that I've read.  I didn't expect to find the actual answer in a book; I expected the discussion in the book to incrementally stir the ideas around in my head so I had a more complete perspective to think about it, at best.  But, defying all expectations, there it was.

Kudos to Lisa Feldman Barrett, for finally writing it down.

The big question was "what requirements do emotions fulfill and what fundamental biological purposes do they serve?"

Had to share this one.

A new and permanent piece of street art in south-west Victoria that came about by happy accident (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-02/wombat-mural-in-warrnambool-happy-accident/10065236)


That one is hilarious. I love it. Especially since it wasn't meant to be permanent, but somebody else decided it should be.

The picture is taking the music video which is being metaphorical and making it literal. Instead of all the violence, chaos, and repressions being representative of what America is, instead its just a picture of the continental united states.

Ah, America.  Where anybody can, at least in theory, file a complaint against anybody.  We've had more than a few that elicit deeper boggling than this but....  yeah.

In case you didn't get the literary reference in the ruling, the "Devil And Daniel Webster" is a classic though particularly American short story, hardly read by anyone outside the US.  The English-to-Legalese summarized translation is a nice bit of 'meta' humor in here.

This kind of foam spraying off the edge of lunatic fringe rarely reaches actual court, usually because the would-be litigants can't find attorneys who'll take a case that has no chance of success.  Usually they can't afford one.  Especially given that  poverty, though usually the outcome of poor planning or just plain bad luck, is also frequently found as a symptom of  untreated mental illness. And, in true tragic fashion, given the difficulty of affording medical care in the US, often one of the reasons it remains untreated.

The US system provides the assistance of the district attorney to those who can't afford a lawyer as defendant in a criminal trial - but this is civil law, and with civil law you're on your own.

Affording an attorney is not a factor for that minority who have discovered that they can file pro se - which means everyone has the right to represent themselves rather than engaging an attorney.  But even pro se cases usually don't reach court because, like this one, there are basic errors in filing that prevent them from going forward.  The judge is right here: Jurisdiction and Process Service are in fact a problem, even if we assume as the litigant does that the defendant exists. 

There are days of engaging reading - alternating between entertaining and tragic - in the records of pro se cases in the US.  Wild conspiracy theories of paranoids, suits against the producers of baking soda claiming that the product ought to come with a warning that if you use it to make crack cocaine somebody might throw you in jail,  and just plain heartbreaking motions suing the ghost of a dead spouse for emotional support.  If they are not frivolous (in the narrow sense of being filed with insincere intent) somebody has to rule on them or at least say why not.  And in most of these cases there's no reason to doubt sincerity.

Ok so I have a story. I worked Fantasyland (Dumbo) at Magic Kingdom. We had a girl transfer from Pirates of the Caribbean. And she told me the most amazing story.

So Pirates is down (shocking) And this particular boat is stopped at the first big scene, Where Barbosa is on the ship yelling for Jack Sparrow.

Anyway the boat has been stopped for about 15 minutes at this point, and there’s a couple sitting alone in the back. So the guy decides that nothing gets him in a better mood than the smell of water that hasn’t been changed in roughly 50 years, and convinces his girlfriend to blow him.

Now this girl is in the booth, along with the coordinator, watching this go down. Literally. There’s not much they can do to stop it at this point, other than notify security. Then another problem arises. The guy finishes, and the girl makes the motion to spit.

In. The. Fucking. Water.

Now if that load is released into the water, thats an automatic biohazard, and the ride is shut down for weeks. The water is removed, the ride path is scrubbed, along with the ride vehicles, and then new water is brought in. Costing the company thousands of dollara and pissed off tourists. The worst combination on this earth.

Panicking at this predicament, the coordinator grabs the mic in the control booth and says:

“Spitting is for quitters.”

This echoes over the bitching of guests and 50 year old audio of pirates commiting various crimes.

The look on this woman’s face was priceless. She gazes up, as if Walt himself commanded her from the grave, and swallows.

I’m told the ride started 5 minutes later and the couple ran out from the exit queue as fast as they could.

And this is why you dont fuck at Disney. Because cast members will call you out and it will be the highlight of our day.

Hmmm...

Didn't know this as a "birthday" song, but as a rugby song.

"Why was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all - he's no fucking use to anyone, he's no fucking use at all!"

(What they call "Banter" these days...)

Now - The Aussies like to think of themselves as a Rugby Nation - so maybe the transition to birthday a song is understandable!

Did you ever have that moment of perspective when you're suddenly terrified and awed and astonished at the fact that against billions-to-one odds (more!) you're this incredibly close to a star? 

When you look up at the sun (don't do this at home, kids, it's bad for your eyes) and think, "my god, that is a gigantic fucking nuclear furnace, producing incomprehensible amounts of barely-contained, uncontrolled,  raw energy, and could kill me in an instant if I get too close,"  and "out of the septillions of completely empty cubic lightyears in this galaxy, how is it even possible that I would be in one that has *THAT* in it?"

Nobody?  Is that just me?

Nope.

At the fact that I exist at all, yes. That's dizzying.

Given that we do exist, though, the fact that we're this ideal distance from a star is not quite so unlikely.

We've all thought of this when we encounter someone who's asshole-parked.

Most of us don't have the angle grinder handy, and even when we have one at hand it usually requires wall current as opposed to car-system electrical service to work.  So it doesn't happen nearly so often as the will and desire to make it happen. 

On the other hand, I once left a perfectly polite and civil note on someone's car that said, "It would be a whole lot easier to not run into your car every morning if it were parked in the same row as the other cars I'm not running into."  And that seemed to have the desired effect at a much smaller expense.

I think you shouldn't do that thing without a shirt on. or some kind of padding. I was wondering why the disarmed sword was flexing so much - the way I see it, the sword got caught between his own sword and his back, so you could get a nasty cut from that.

There's a guy in one of my meetup groups who works on military AI.  You know.  Autonomous attack Drones, Reconnaissance robots, ambulatory equipment-carriers that deploy with troops, bomb-disposal robots, bomb-delivery robots, robot firefighters and damage-control robots for Navy ships, etc.... 

Who thinks mannequins are really, really creepy.  And goes out of his way to avoid them, because they're so disturbing.

I happen to think the idea of a "bomb delivery robot" running into somebody's camp or somebody's building on its spindly little legs dodging around and over various obstacles (and blowing down doors, or guards, that it can't dodge or smash through using the moral equivalent of a giant sawed-off shotgun) is pretty darn creepy and disturbing.  I mean, when it reaches the recipient's apartment, what does it do, knock on the door and request a signature for the package?  Um, probably not.

Sometimes I wonder if he owns a mirror.

When my dad got hit by lightning, our neighbor missed him and went out looking.  He found Dad injured and confused, and got him to the hospital ... but when Dad got his stuff and got ready to go home, one of his boots was missing.  He went back out to the place where he got hit (on a sunny day) but he never found the other boot.

When my grandpa Charlie (his dad) got hit, he got home on his own but considerably worse for the wear physically - one of his hands was pretty badly scarred, and that whole arm was always a bit weak after that ... and one of his boots was missing.

I don't get to talk with my Mom's side of the family very much (alas, I am to them an "Outlander" now, with "Outlandish" worldly ideas and mores, more than two generations removed from the Faith), but last week I learned that when my grandpa Reuben (my mom's grandfather) got hit, it killed the horse he was riding ... and one of his boots went missing.

Is this just another weird coincidence like having a bunch of people in the family get hit by lightning in the first place, or does lightning somehow have a personal grudge against boots?

Yeah, we've had that conversation.  It's even become something of a family joke.  I have several decades now of staying indoors during lightning storms, and I even moved to a place where they don't happen nearly as often.

My Grandma Beryl (Charlie's wife) was occasionally heard to exclaim that someone was "so stubborn he could get hit twice by the same bolt of lightning."  I think she used the phrase affectionately, but I could never really tell with her.

A random math problem has been distracting me occasionally for a week or so.  This morning I woke up knowing the answer.

One lunar month is equal to exactly 167/10 + 349/29 days.

Accurate to within a minute or so in a thousand years. Of course this assumes that the ratio of lunar months to days remains constant.  In the long-ish run (thousands of years) it does, but in the very short run (within a single year) it fluctuates with the time of year and precession of the apsides, and in the very long run (tens of millions of years) it lengthens as Earth's tides gradually subtract rotational inertia from the planet's spin and add it to the moon's orbit.

So, as with everything, this is an approximation.  But it's a pretty good approximation for the next several thousand years.

Really?  What station?  What country even?  And did they come up with the same fraction sum?

I'd been thinking about how to make gearing that a clock could use.  The ratio of 25101 days to 850 lunar months is fairly well known (to the vanishingly small number of people who actually care) but 2789 is a prime factor of 25101 and it's really hard to cut a gear with 2789 teeth. 

So I'd been thinking, since gears with more than 360 teeth are impractical, about how to express it using numbers smaller than 360.

I’ll tell you what’s ferocious. Freddie’s comeback to Sid calling him “Freddie Platinum” when they were recording down the hall from each other at London’s Wessex Studios (Queen for News of the World, Pistols for Bollocks).

Sid Vicious made the mistake one day of bursting into Queen’s control room and antagonizing their frontman. “Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses, then?” he sneered. “Oh, yes, Simon Ferocious,” Mercury replied. “We’re trying our best, dear.”

Then, according to Queen biographer Daniel Nester, Freddie rose from his chair and began to playfully flick the safety pins displayed on the front of Sid’s leather jacket. “Tell me,” he asked, “did you arrange these pins just so?” When Sid stepped forward in an attempt to intimidate Freddie, the singer simply pushed him backwards and inquired, “What are you going to do about it?” Sid immediately backed down.

A sign of maturity; recognizing a situation in which a fight is motivated solely by ego, that ego is not worth fighting over, and that fighting will accomplish nothing beneficial. Kudos to Mercury for not going hyperbolic over Sid's intrusion.  Kudos to Sid for not rising to Mercury's blatant if playful baiting.  Kudos to both for de-escalating.

Given the people involved, I wonder whether Mercury was actually making fun of Sid, or just flirting with him.  Or, embracing his fundamental and well-known ambiguity, both.

As I was pondering the death of the first President I voted for, I was curious about the state of former Presidents who lived past their dates in office.

In the 51 years I have lived on this planet, there was one period of time where there was a total of zero former presidents of the US who were still living. In fact, the US went from two former living presidents to none in the space of 28 days prior to that.

Over 564 days, the only man who knew the pressure of being President was the then-current office holder. The streak ended when he stepped into the helicopter on the White House lawn and was whisked off to Yorba Linda, California as the first president to resign from office.

There is a distinct irony in the fact that there were no former presidents around during what could be argued as the worst preiod of time in the history of the office.

Post by: jwhouk on 03 Dec 2018, 19:47
With the passing of GHWB this week, I came across something that I found very odd.

Currently, there are four former POTUSes still living (I'll let you the reader figure out who they are). Did you know that there have been only six times in US history (outside of President Washington) where there have been no living former presidents?

John Adams was the first, as Washington died before he left office. There wasn't another until Ulysses Grant's term, where Andrew Johnson passed before Grant left office - and all other presidents had died by that time. Grover Cleveland saw this happen during his second term in the White House (aside: he is considered both the 22nd and 24th President, as he was the only one to serve non-consecutive terms in office). Next was Teddy Roosevelt, who became President on the death of William McKinley. Before leaving office, all of his living predecessors in the job had passed on. Herbert Hoover was next, as his predecessor Calvin Coolidge had passed away and all the other presidents between Roosevelt and Warren Harding (who had died in office) were also dead.

However, the longest (and now most recent) period where there were no living former presidents was from January 23, 1973 to August 9, 1974. This time frame (from the date of Lyndon Johnson's death to Nixon's resignation) was the longest that the USA went without a former living president.

Cats seem to have a way of behaving when they know they've been rumbled and have given up but don't want to admit it.

My littlest often likes to steal crisp packets. He growls like a bastard at anyone trying to take it off him, but I'm pretty good at catching him. Once I got a hand on him, but failed to actually catch him - I hadn't got his scruff. He could have easily got away. But he just stayed there, growling at me, until I took the packet out of his mouth. It's like he knew he wasn't going to win this one but refused to give up his pride by not growling.

When the second person is ejecting him, the cat seems to do that. Slight swerve away from the graspy hands, but really, definitely could have got away from her and didn't.

A sign of maturity; recognizing a situation in which a fight is motivated solely by ego, that ego is not worth fighting over, and that fighting will accomplish nothing beneficial. Kudos to Mercury for not going hyperbolic over Sid's intrusion.  Kudos to Sid for not rising to Mercury's blatant if playful baiting.  Kudos to both for de-escalating.

Given the people involved, I wonder whether Mercury was actually making fun of Sid, or just flirting with him.  Or, embracing his fundamental and well-known ambiguity, both.

That's weird... Not how I read the above at all.

Sid tried to rip the piss out of Freddie.
Freddie retaliated and expanded.
Sid threatened physicality.
Freddie stood up to him and gave him a shove (And verbal warning)
Sid backed off cos he was at heart a scared wee boy playing at being a rebel cos all his mates were doing so.

I think they were.  Apparently the guy found hungry kitten wandering in the street on a trip and brought the little guy back to his hotel room to try to get something to eat.  Didn't really plan to have a cat around, so no actual cat food.  Scrambling an egg is nontoxic for cats and used food he had on hand.

Of course this meant kitteh had to wait, while s/he could smell food cooking, as the guy scrambled the egg, which meant getting steadily more excited.  Hungry kitten does not like waiting.

Remember kids, the hottest seventeen years on record are all inside the last nineteen years.

This is a problem that's getting worse, everywhere.

I remember individual days in Kansas summers that got over 120 Fahrenheit.  And that was before this streak of hottest years on record got going.

The bank signs that show temperature tracked it all the way up to 119, and then just started flashing "Its Too Hot To Work."  It was worth a chuckle, but that time of year we mostly were getting up at night to do outdoor stuff, and sleeping in the daytime.

Granted your example is defiantly an f-ed up situation with an f-ed up super hero, but with that aside all the other heroes are essentially taking the law in their own hands outside the law, which is not legal.

It occurred to me today to wonder why people assumed that the universe is finite, or expanded from a point after the big bang.  Why people made up the idea of "cosmic inflation" to explain the sheer bigness of what we see around us and the fact that it can't all have come from a point at less than lightspeed during the time of the universe's existence.

It appears to have been infinitely dense, or nearly so, at the instant of the Big Bang.

It does not follow from infinite density though, that its size was ever small.

Infinity, plus the amount of space that's been added, (and is still being added) is still infinity.  Infinity (space) divided by any slightly-smaller infinity (matter) is still infinitely dense.  The Big Bang, for all we can tell, may have happened across infinite space, rather than just at a point. 

We'll never see more than what's inside our lightspeed horizon, but that doesn't mean it's not out there.  And it doesn't put any kind of limit on how much of it there might be.

So why did we need cosmic inflation again?

As far as I know, the observations of distant objects whose light was redshifted is what led to the conclusion that the universe is expanding (don't ask me how they figured this out, but I think it had something to do with the degree of shifting being related to distance or something).

Oh, yeah, I perfectly understand (well, anyway as far as humans do) the expanding-metric nature of the universe, and the theoretic construct of "dark energy" driving it (although I find the latter "suspicious" and half-expect that theory to be eventually shown wrong or incomplete).

What I was questioning isn't really the expanding metric of the universe.  What I was questioning was that starting point.  At the instant of the Big Bang, people tend to think the universe was all located at a single infinitely-dense point, from which it's been expanding ever since.  But it would look the same to us, if that initial point was merely one location in an infinitely-large infinitely-dense continuum, which has been expanding ever since.   The lightspeed horizon prevents us from seeing the rest of it whether it's infinite, or just very very very large. 

Our *observable* universe has a particular finite size.  But the stars out on the edge of our observable universe, we think,  have a different observable universe which includes a bunch of stuff we can never see.  If we traveled there at lightspeed, we would find that that stuff had passed beyond their lightspeed horizon by the time we arrived. 

The debate over how big that additional volume of the universe must be is ongoing, but as nearly as we can tell the metric of space is flat.  Meaning, we're pretty sure it doesn't curve around on itself making a finite whole unless it's so incredibly vast that we can't even detect the "curve" that it would be wrapping around.  And yet people think that having started from a point it must be finite. 

My question is why we think it started from a point.  "Infinite density" does not mean "Infinitely small."  An expanding spacetime metric does not imply that the Big Bang (or the universe) is finite.

Maybe what's out there beyond the lightspeed boundary is just ... more universe, forever.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: LTK on 22 Jan 2019, 16:23
I think you're misunderstanding. Before the Big Bang, the universe was already everywhere, because there wasn't anywhere else to be. It didn't start expanding from a single point, it expanded from everywhere. If the pre-Big-Bang universe had all of its matter condensed into essentially no space, it makes most sense to conceptualise it as point-like because that's what best conveys the difference between it and our present universe. The concepts 'infinitely large' and 'infinitely small' essentially cannot be applied to it, because what would be the point of comparison for its largeness or smallness? The only thing we have is our present universe, and since we don't even know how large it is compared to the observable universe, it is impossible to say how large it was in the past. The only thing we can say is that the pre-Big-Bang universe was infinitely dense.

As far as I know it's perfectly possible that the universe is infinite. Likely, even. But if it wasn't, the above would still make sense. It all depends on how big 'everywhere' is.

Post by: pwhodges on 22 Jan 2019, 17:00
My question is why we think it started from a point.

Because of how the maths works.  But, note that the point concerned is the apparent dimensions of the universe viewed internally - however, that is the only view allowed, because, even if the universe is finite, there is nothing outside it which we can use a reference for its (non-existent) external dimensions.

"My batteries are low.  And it's getting dark."  -- Opportunity rover, signing off.  This was the last message received.

Well, of course Opportunity didn't send it in English.  But that's a decent translation of the last message received.

I actually teared up when I read that.  Something about valiantly facing the end.  Of course I'm anthropomorphizing.

Rest in peace, little guy.  You've served long and faithfully and well, and you will be remembered with honor.

Ignaz Semmelweis is spinning in his grave.

Semmelweiss was an interesting story.

@Case: its XP Share or Exp Share. It allows the pokemon holding it to get experience if a different one is fighting. A good way to level up small pokemon while you use a stronger one to actually fight.

In my head she sounds like Merida from Brave (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb6eu92mLtk) if she had the attitude of the Scottsman from Samurai Jack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M11TUcHqwA) and the wit of Scottish Twitter (https://imgur.com/gallery/O7AXn).

Hmm.  There was this one version about the quick brown fox jumping the lazy dog over and over, but depending on the context it might have been considered obscene.   Besides, it was longer unnecessarily.

"Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" is objectively the best, having fewer repeated letters than either of the other two.

But probably not practical because

A) You couldn't possibly get it into elementary textbooks in Texas.  Fundie parents will be afraid that some reference to a beast belonging to the pantheon of a pagan religion is DEMON WORSHIP!

B) While there is widespread agreement on how to spell "Sphinx" and "Quartz", there are a lot of people who aren't in on the agreement for "Sphinx" (they tend to write "Sphynx") and a lot of people to whom "Quartz" is less familiar than "Quarts" and they will therefore mishear and/or misspell it that way even though it makes no sense.

You realize what's bizarre in that picture, right? 

You may think it's only youngsters going "just look at this freaky old thing, I think they were called pay phones," 

But look closer.  That's a VERIZON logo!!

So, if they're even remotely aware that land line phones are a different thing than cell phones, they're going, "Holy shit!  Verizon somehow got roped into providing service  for this pay phone that was ancient already when Verizon was founded, which doesn't even use the cell phone infrastructure that their business supports!  Pics or it didn't happen!"

Are phone-boxes generally gone in the USA? There are about 16,000 payphones in Australia, and Telstra, their operator, would love to ditch them, but there's a huge stink every time they suggest it. It's a legacy from when Telstra was Telecom Australia, the government telecommunications monopoly, so politically Telstra is forced to have a "universal service obligation".

Phone boxes are very much gone in the US. You might see the old shell types outside older gas stations, but 99% of those don't have working phones in them (mostly due to vandalism).

Same here. The moment the phone companies were no longer obliged to maintain them, they all went out. After all everyone has a cell phone, no? Which is all fine and dandy until the moment you find yourself stranded on a station in the middle of nowhere, with no battery left, in the rain.

Post by: Morituri on 03 Jun 2019, 15:28
The phone companies around here aren't permitted to remove them, but they are not obliged to replace them when they fail.

And they've been not replacing them when they fail for about ... twenty? .... I think it's about twenty years now.

I doubt that there are more than a dozen still operating in this city, and don't know where they'd be.

Post by: TheEvilDog on 03 Jun 2019, 20:11
I know there's been some discussion here about getting rid of the last phoneboxes, but there's debate about whether or not some should be kept for emergencies or for more remote areas that don't have easy access to mobile or broadband service. But that's been going on for years.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.

I suppose that potential emergencies is a good reason to get a Ham license and carry a portable radio.  Less likely to run out of battery if one barely uses it under normal circumstances.

Huh?

Over here, the Telekom, as the successor to the federal post office's telecom branch, still has a Versorgungsautrag (supply mission) - in cities, one public phone must 'in close walking distance' throughout the city, which means closer than 2.5km. There's about 20.000 public phones left nationally - in various stages of repair and hygiene, I have to add.

The legal requirement was scrapped in 2013, and the last one was formally removed in 2015 - though the last I've seen was in 2017. But they weren't much use, since the Proton payment system was scrapped, and phone booth cards haven't been sold since about 2012. I can't remember when I saw the last coin operated one.

According to CNN, there are about 100,000 pay phones (https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/19/news/companies/pay-phones/index.html) still left in America - though most of them are in NYC. And the article in question is over a year old, so many of those 100k may no longer be working.

Post by: cybersmurf on 04 Jun 2019, 23:40
Since the mass adoption of portable phones over here in Austria, the amount of payphones has decreased A LOT. there still are a few, but - as far as i can tell - mostly somewhere around public transport hubs, and just random places that still seem to get some use.

I can only see them all "convex side up". The lighting is coming from the left, and all the plates have their highlight side on the left, and the shadow side on the right. If any were "convex side up" the shadows and highlight sides would be reversed.

It's quite groovy with the "Scottish Pokemon Trainer" (does she have a name?)

What is cringe worthy is the bloody awful renditions of the Scottish Accent by people who clearly only know Scots from Groundskeeper Willie (and even then, they're not listening too well!)

In pretty much all scottish dialects XP share would be best put over phonetically as "Expee Shay-yir".
(And Scots don't say "Fooking!" I mean... have they never HEARD Billy Connolly???)

Not yet, she is the playable character (so usually the player can name her whatever they like) but they usually do give them default names to choose from. The game is still in development and slated to come out November 15, 2019 so we may get some more information this summer or on release.

I think the accent is less derived from Groundskeeper Willie and more from Merida (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRD6HiPupW0) from Brave and Scottish twitter (https://imgur.com/t/scottish_twitter/2vb1TLZ) but YMMV. Some are straight up just her inputted into scenes from Wreck it Ralph 2 and the Demoman  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=han3AfjH210)from TF2. As for "fookin," some people have mentioned that "Loud Scottish Lass" as she has been dubbed, seems more like she has a Geordie accent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2woc46LXkw) than Scottish.  But I doubt the artists/meme-ers/comic creators know the difference.

Saw this video, it really starts at the 2:40 mark but its how to pronounce Norse Mythology characters names.

Yeeeeaaaah - I'm not sure the Icelandic have exclusive dibs on the Norse pantheon, as she seems to imply - IIRC, the religion was widespread throughout northwestern Europe? I thought if anyone had dibs on Odin and Thor, it was the Danes? (Then and again, one could argue who settled Iceland ...)

I can roll the Rs but not sure about that LL clicking sounds she makes.

Errrrh - sounds to me like she's inserting a 't' before the 'll'? Heijm-da(tt)lürrh is what I hear.

Edit: Actually, that seems to be the case: "Double ll is in most cases pronounced [tl̥], as if spelled tl" (First footnote in Icelandic IPA-Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Icelandic#cite_note-ll-1))

Her 'r' isn't just rolled, it's something between the Dutch 'g' and the German 'ch'.

The vowels sound like remote cousins of German umlouts to me, but ... I've learned that I when I listen to foreign-language phonemes, I tend to hear German (or English or Dutch ones) where none are present. I once spent an instructive half-hour with a Greek colleague who taught me to actually hear what Greeks are saying when the pronounce the letter gamma. It has very little to do with what I thought of as gamma ...


Edit: Interesting that Icelandic has pretty much the same 'th'-phoneme as English. That's the hardest sound for German ESL students to learn, and there's countless jokes the 'th-enabled' use to mock their wooden-tongued compatriots.

And the USAF does not disappoint.

Of course it got big enough that the USAF was obliged to take it seriously (in a "there are enough stupid people out there that somebody might actually try this" sort of way) and so they need to make sure that people know the relevant terms being used. I am sure that there wasn't a single person who didn't feel incredibly foolish explaining "Naruto running" to senior military leaders. It all makes sense, but damn if seeing a picture of a guy in urban camo in a Naruto pose and the incredulous look on his face didn't just make my night.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Or in other words: it would fill your screen fullscreen if the video didn't have black bars top and bottom, and the player didn't add black bars left and right to not distort the picture.

Looks to me sort of like the guys who were supposed to do the routine maintenance on these buildings embezzled the budget or something, instead.

But it also seems like nobody wants to do the repairs to make up for that and make them useful again, either, which is kind of a shame.

There was this Tom Hanks movie that they really should have found a way to show, as well.  'Big' came out in 1988, though, so it was 11 years old at the time.  Sometimes drive-ins and little theaters here and there can make a living showing movies more than 5 years old, but it's not very mainstream.

Still, it looks like they had a running gag going, right?

That said, those marquee signs with the movable letters are literally the easiest thing in the world to photoshop.  You can make a sign like that say anything in a picture and it's mostly impossible to tell it got futzed with.  So, these days, I can never quite believe a photo of one of them showing anything funny or risque is as real as it appears to be.

Which is a shame, because doubting such things tends to make the world a little less magical and cool.

[Just having fun, in the overwrought style of HP Lovecraft, and riffing on a recent post]

Across the city, people were frowning, suddenly chilled with a feeling that there was something deeply wrong, and looking up into a sky suddenly dank with a nameless miasma.  The moon was become tinged with red, and great shadows were crossing the sky.

Only the shadows, at first.  It was as though they weren't being cast by anything, as though the light itself had been projected in a twisted, distorted form, or passed through spaces somehow bent in directions we cannot see.  But as the night became longer, a suggestion of looming, impossible forms began to cross the sky.

No one could quite bring themselves to see one entire.  The whispered, ghostly suggestion of a great slimy, green foot whose long webbed toes crossed the entire sky made the mind quail and the bowels clench, as dread man has inherited from the most primitive animals reduced the bravest among them to gibbering terror.   The light pressure of a gigantic, ethereal hoof, pressing briefly on one or two square miles of land, supporting an immense, incomprehensible weight and bulk whose vastness was only just beginning to enter upon our reality,  caused hearts to stop.  Some of those hearts started again, hammering in unreasoning fear, and some fortunate few did not.  A single foul, blue-gray feather spiralled menacingly down from the sky, passed through all that dwelled on the surface and into the vulnerable earth beneath them, and left all just a little fouler, a little more debased, a little less human than they'd been before, and a little more of something else.  Something alien, terrible, and incomprehensible.  These signs and manifestations could barely be seen at all.  And having seen one, no one dared look further.  No one dared strain their vision to try to make out the creatures these things portended.  No one dared look, because, somehow, in their hearts suddenly thick with despair and terror, they already knew.

These things had walked the Earth before, in a time before there were men.  In days when ancient, reptilian beings built strange cities on different shores.  Those beings, grown arrogant and careless, had ignored the warnings as psychics and seers among them had all gone mad.  Some members of that strange, long-lost people had called upon these nameless things, and in the years and centuries following, their civilization had been terribly torn asunder.  Finally, when there were no more minds to feed upon, when nothing save animals remained, these vast creatures had called down a great firey cataclysm to erase all traces of that civilization, and left the wounded, mourning world until another crop was ready for harvest.  And now that time had come.  There was no way, save perhaps in the depth of the genetic memory of all living things that feared them, to know how many times it had come before.

They became more visible as they crossed the world, though no one could bear to look upon them.  What had begun as shadows, and become barely-visible ghostly manifestations, became shapes made out of fog, then shadowed shapes somehow obscured by fog, then grew steadily more real.  It was the barrier between realities, wearing away as they made their journey.  As they approached the place where a few mad arrogant fools had opened the way for them.

In a forest clearing deep in the wilderness, in a place to which each had come by a different path, these few now rounded on the frenzied ending of their ritual.  Many were smeared with blood, because that was the kind of ritual it had been.  Most were naked, or clad only in ritual decorations.  They leapt and shrieked and danced and fornicated around their fires, again and again calling upon their obscene idols to become real.  Under it all, a wild drumming never ceased.  Those drums beat with purpose, and yet they had no rhythm we could comprehend.  Their rhythm was inhuman, something imposed on the universe by creatures other than man.  Their song was the opening of the path.

These things had not been passed down through generations.  Every civilization that has ever beaten that rhythm and sung that song has left behind no one to carry forward that knowledge.  Rather, they have been subtly woven into the fabric of our universe.  Something a little bit like them is bound to emerge, if only by chance.  And then, because intelligent, conscious minds have a peculiar, universal habit of steadily repeating and changing things, guided as often by a frisson of fear as by any other impulse, having emerged it reaches, sooner or later, a form true enough to open the way.   If there are conscious, intelligent minds to bring it into that form, that rhythm and that song must eventually emerge.  In an obscene and cruel parody of nature, these vast creatures have adapted perfectly, because conscious, intelligent minds are their nourishment.

The words were not the same words, of course.  The words that had been sung millions of years before had been sung by inhuman tongues and emerged from strange, reptilian throats in languages structured differently from the languages of men.  The words were different every time.  But always they conveyed the same intent - to bring the ancient unnatural things from whatever reality held them into ours.  And always they had the same result.  Those who beat that rhythm and sang those words would be the first to be eaten.  As the members of the cult danced and drummed and fornicated themselves ever closer to death, the chant continued.

"It's time to light the incense.
It's time to slay the sheep.
It's time to wake the muppets
From a million years of sleep.


It's time to raze existence
It's time to banish light
It's time to call the Void in
On the Muppet Show tonight!


With apologies to HP Lovecraft and Jim Henson....

I read it as a 'lost time' joke.

There's a story UFO enthusiasts tell one another about planes that take off, spend (say) three hours flying to their destination, and land three hours AND TEN MINUTES later.  Where did the ten minutes go?  What happened?  Why doesn't anybody remember?  We must have gotten interfered with by Aliens!!!  The longer the chunk of time that's missing, the more certain the evidence of aliens becomes.

It's the airline variation on an earlier 'guy making a ten minute trip arrives six hours later, thinks he's been driving for ten minutes' story.

you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”

…you start sweating

normal person in 1st century Nazareth: making my way downtown, walking fast

*sees J boy, 8 yo, staring at you from across the street*

even funnier, the only person 100% on board with his Prophetic Kid Talk is his mother Miriam, an otherwise placid, absolutely normal woman around 25 or so



kid JC, coming home at twilight, a single white dove following him and chirping with weirdly human-like precision:

Its only as you get closer, you realise its Gotham billionaire Bruce Wayne. For a moment, you're struck by two points - the first is that for three completely different friends, they each have the same shade of black hair and their eyes are the same shade of blue. Secondly, you look over Bruce's head and see the Dangerometer has broken."

Incidentally, a few weeks ago, I was walking in the woods when I heard a police siren off in the distance. Then, nearby, I heard what sounded like 20 police sirens. Turns out in the suburbs of Chicago, the coyotes like to imitate police car sirens with their howling.

So many orcs....  It would be more in the style of this thread to just hotlink the images, but Deviantart doesn't like that and besides, the artist's writing in the paragraph that goes with the image is half the fun in this case.....

I give you:  Orc Nouveau by Ursula Vernon.

https://www.deviantart.com/ursulav/art/Orc-Nouveau-III-40398624

warning: cartoon nipple.  Not lewd at all, but if you feel capable of being offended by it anyway, you may wish to refrain from unspoiling and clicking.  Otherwise, I give you:  Orc Nouveau II by Ursula Vernon.

I sort of had the impression she was going to do four of these; autumn and spring would be the ones above, and we haven't yet seen winter and summer.  Alas, it has been years since the first of these appeared, so there may never be a complete set to go with the seasons.

As far as I can see, she was going to do the four seasons, like Mucha, but couldn't make the colour schemes work together.
Edit - so, apparently that was the commentary on her first attempt. My mistake.

Its just a pitch, who knows who it would end up being, and thats the part that should be intriguing. The problem is as soon as it comes out, you know people are going to go on social media and try to spoil it for as many people as possible. So I think they should go the Clue route and release different endings randomly to the theater on who Bond is.

Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: Morituri on 24 Feb 2020, 21:04
apropos of nothing....  there are 850 lunar months in  25101 days.  (more accurately than Gregorian calendar tracks the solar year).

It's difficult to design a geared mechanism (a mechanical clock with a 'phase of the moon' hand) that gives exactly that ratio because any straightforward design will need at least one gear with 2789 teeth (an uncomfortably large prime which is a factor of 25101).

But, after some analysis, I discovered some more tractable identities.  The gearing design is no longer exactly 'straightforward' because it will require some differential gearing, but it's buildable.

one day is  also (1/183 + 1/154) x 17/6 lunar months.  That's a ratio you can get pretty easily with an input gear that moves 17 teeth every 6 days.  Honest to god, it only takes three gears.  183,154, and your differential gear.

But what if you want the smallest possible number of gear teeth? Even if it makes your mechanism more complicated?  In that case, one day is also (1/61 x 17/18) + (1/77 x 17/12) lunar months. Now you need 5 gears, but only 4 axles (one of them is fixed directly to the drive gear and just has a different radius/number of teeth).  The biggest gear is 77 teeth.  You could carve that out of _wood_.

I have a nice little diagram of it on a sheet of typing paper in front of me.

This is the sort of obsessive distraction thing my brain does when I'm avoiding thinking about something.

I am interested in the film as an idea and a concept and would enjoy it if it was made.

I, as an outside observer, who has either seen the film already or knows about the pitch before having seen it, could know that she is Bond without the film itself revealing such until the end of it. As with any other film/story with a surprise reveal at any point in it, it won't be a surprise to someone who has experienced the work before, but the text of the work still will not have revealed it up until that point.

I'm so happy watching it. Not only remembering watching it all go down night after night, but also just impressed with the performances by everyone in the ring in that fight. Took some time the other night with my brother and not only did a rewatch, but doing replays focusing on certain performers, freeze frames to point out and appreciate signals and good teamwork, etc. i love watching a good wrestling performance! i don't always entirely get ballet, but that special mix of physical performance and soap opera bigger-than-life delivery, yesss shoot that shit into my veins

I have been a wrestling fan for over two decades. If you're not careful, we will be talking about this a LOT.

I adore when Bubba Ray taps Steven Richards to let him know they're about to actually do the drop! and also how he sneaks glances over at D-Von to see if he's ready for them, and whether he and Steven need to keep mugging for the crowd a little longer. And D-Von noticing the microphone was gonna be in the way and getting it out so they wouldn't potentially hurt Steven worse than the stunt required.

and the way Ivory (?) snuck out of the shot and ring right before the betrayal, and how the camera operators and feed-callers(? you know what i mean) manipulated the shots to cover for her, and honestly just all around. And how Val Venus (i think?) rolls his ass right the fuck out of the ring after he's defeated and sells that beautiful Dudley Death Drop, since he's just a minion who's been defeated and he needs to not be in the way of the main stunt. and and and

aaaaaa

edit: and it is utterly unfair of me not to give props also to King, Michael (who thankfully gave a decent performance from the booth that night), and also mad props to the camera operator who tracked Val damned well and helped sell the action of the drop even better, i just had to go back and look again and note that, i don't know how someone can get that smooth on the handle but hot damn it's another of those tragically-easy-to-overlook things that makes that feel even hotter than it is (which was already hot hot hot)

The little touches like the noticing of when the spot is happening or calling for time are some of my favourite things about the art of wrestling.

Something I learned only a few years ago despite years of watching. Lots of wrestlers wear wrist tape. Why? They're not really fighting, they don't need to strengthen their punches - it's because it makes it easier to grip the wrist while doing an Irish Whip. Shit like that, man. The little things turning in wrestling.

AND I WILL NEVER GET OVER HOW GREAT D-VON AND BUBBA RAY AND VAL DID THAT SLAM IT'S A WORK OF FUCKING ART

edit: and it is utterly unfair of me not to give props also to King, Michael (who thankfully gave a decent performance from the booth that night), and also mad props to the camera operator who tracked Val damned well and helped sell the action of the drop even better, i just had to go back and look again and note that, i don't know how someone can get that smooth on the handle but hot damn it's another of those tragically-easy-to-overlook things that makes that feel even hotter than it is (which was already hot hot hot)

I think Val took a good number of those over the years, although I think the most 3Ded person is probably one of the Hardy Boyz. Did you know that I think only two or three people have ever kicked out of that move? It's one of the most protected finishers in the history of wrestling, way more than the Stunner, even the Atomic Leg Drop. And one of the only people to have kicked out? Alex Shelley. It's so funny that wrestling spends so much time putting over stuff they claim to have not seen before when they have, and one of the only legitimately 'never happens' things in all of wrestling I barely ever see get mentioned.

Cole is possibly the most underrated commentator in the history of wrestling. I'm guessing you haven't watched in a good long time, and for good reason, but if you were to ever try out the Network, watch Beast in the East or the United Kingdom Championship Tournament from 2016 to see Michael Cole, off the leash, actually bothering to learn people's names and show respect. The man has a goddamn Blue Peter badge now, and when Vince isn't screaming in his ear, he is actually one of the best.

Plus he straight up apologised on television during the second Mae Young Classic for burying women on television previously during the Heel Cole days. And he used to be a war journalist, so he's not to be fucked with.

Post by: de_la_Nae on 12 Jun 2020, 16:21
Okay, i'm happy to hear Cole is doing better than the last time I saw him, which was Wrestlemania 33 (2017), which i must say as someone who'd only *really* kept up weekly back in the beginning of the century was just hilarious to be the one Wrestlemania i happened to actually see, what with the Hardy return and Triple H+Steph ringside shenanigans and Goldberg v Lesner and so on and so on

and i remember Cole being a miserable, awkward shit for a lot of that night. which uh.. probably didn't help that SquareEnix was the main sponsor and he had to say shit about Final Fantasy :x

So, being the ignorant Eurocommie that I am, I just learned about Frederick Douglass last week. And while the man is nothing but inspirational - though I've to admit I've yet to read some of the books he himself wrote about his life and experiences, as opposed to what other ppl wrote about him - my stupid head seems unable to shake an embarrassingly mundane thought:

'HotDamn that Douglas guy is one handsome dude!'

(https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/1270dfe0891e49683a2e2db5a8a8ff73eeb8a56f/0_247_2713_1627/master/2713.jpg?width=1920&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=98490f9f031d548163a2bc1888c375bb)

He just looks royal in a way that few actual royalty ever manage to pull of. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that George Lucas (or yknow, someone in costumes) modeled Billy Dee Williams' Lando Calrissian look after that potrait of Douglass'?

P.S.: Is this objectifying a historic person of colour? I hope it's not. I mean, I'm aware - in broad strokes at least - of his importance and life achievements, its just that he has one of those looks ppl call 'striking'.

Edit: I've been told it's 'Frederick with a c'. Wondering when someone will point out my taking some liberties with the past tense as well ...

The harpie lives alone (panel 1), people only bother her if they need something (panels 4,5,6). Witch comes over and invites her to a party. Its kind of a d'aww moment since the harpie doesn't appear to really have friends but the witch inviting her out she may have had one all along.

No not farting in panel 3, just rummaging through her bag to get the invite for the harpie.

Ah. It is indeed different from the British stuff, and this is a minor annoyance for me which I may or may not have brought up here before, I don't recall...

Basically the Sanitarium company here in Australia and NZ, which happens to be owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church (please don't get me started again), decided to market a spread and call it Marmite. They got the trademark before the British company did, I believe (I am now searching for a reference and can't easily find one, so... I can't swear it to be true). Anyway, the point is, this product is completely different from the British product, and because it exists, British Marmite imported into Australia has to be rebranded as "Our Mate." I guess there is a similar situation in NZ.

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Our_Mate_jar_of_UK_Made_Marmite_Spread_branded_for_sale_in_Australia.JPG/1024px-Our_Mate_jar_of_UK_Made_Marmite_Spread_branded_for_sale_in_Australia.JPG)

There are a bunch of variants on this spread, of which Vegemite is the best known and most commonly connected with Australia, and while they are all obviously quite similar, they are also markedly distinct.

As much as I am bemused and annoyed by American recipes that specify sticks of butter, at least that's less annoying than the ones that specify tablespoons.

Tablespoons of butter. Tablespoons. How are you supposed to measure that?

JUST SPECIFY A WEIGHT, YOU HEATHENS. For flour, too. Everything that's not a fluid, actually. There are all these "hacks" online on how to deal with this. Just... WHY. UGH.

Also, are you guys going to join the rest of us and use the metric sy- no? Okay then.

I think the tablespoon measurements follow pretty closely from the assumption that the butter is in stick form, because sticks generally have tablespoon (and fractional cup) markers on the wrapper:

I think that could work in a non-Euclidean geometry. Spherical, I want to say, but possibly that would only wok for any three of the people.

It can work in a space with negative curvature (think about a rubber sheet with two opposite corners pulled up and the other two pulled down).  In a negative-curvature topology, distance increases the further you are from the "center" so you can have the hypotenuses cross the center to reach the opposite corner, traversing the same distance as the length of one of the legs, because the legs are at a greater distance from the center.

The problem with it is there's no shape in three-dimensional "flat" space whose surface is uniformly negatively-curved.  The "saddle" topology I described above can get you a local surface, but the local surface does not make a closed solid of uniform negative curvature the way a sphere gives a good model of uniform positive curvature.

Last conversation I had with a Russian about the measure of foodstuffs, he told me a gallon was a little bit more than a third of a ten-kilogram block of milk, and marveled at the amount of plastic we have to use to sell and handle it in liquid form.

They keep it on the front porch until they're ready to break off a chunk about the size they want, bring it inside, and use it. (not sure 'front porch' is really the idea - the houses have an out-of-the-wind shelter attached to the front door so people don't get frostbite on their fingers as they're unlocking the door or breaking ice off of it).

Evidently the only item sold in liquid form that far north in Russia, is Vodka.

I recently acquired a Wacom Intuos art tablet. It has four buttons that you can bind to any keystroke or command and use outside of art applications. Today, I figured out that you can bind multiple keystrokes to the same button, up to an unreasonably large number that I haven't found yet. I made the third button, when pressed, type "Gnabber" followed by enter eight times in a row, then went into a few different text conversations with various friends and spammed it five or six times. It was...distressingly effective, outputting forty or fifty messages every second. Demonstration (one button press):
Gnabber
Gnabber
Gnabber
Gnabber
Gnabber
Gnabber
Gnabber
Gnabber
Needless to say, I have no friends now.

When I was at university, some time ago now, we each had an account on a *nix system for assignments. I had a part time job changing tape reels for overnight backups. I had a lot of spare time, so I'd log into the computer system via acoustic coupler, sometimes for the purposes of working on assignments, sometimes simply to chat. Needless to say, the connection speed was pretty slow. I don't remember the speed. Probably 1200 baud.

At some point, some of us students realised that our tty devices were globally writable, and so we could send stuff to each other's terminals without bothering with programs like write or msg.

So one day, a friend of mine thought it would be funny to type the following command (inventing a device name corresponding to my terminal for the purposes of illustration):

$ cat /etc/wisdom >/dev/tty123

This sent the wisdom file over my slow modem connection to my computer screen. The wisdom file was quite a large text file. So this took many minutes to complete, during which time I couldn't realistically do anything except wait for it to finish.

He did genuinely apologise afterwards, I'll give you that.

Well, the moment you start looking at subatomic levels (like electrons, protons wnd neutrons), even dense matter becomes a place of a lot of space, like throwing an asteroid in the direction of a solar system. Within a galaxy, it probably will hit something, but not necessarily the very planet you may have aimed for.

I'm not sure that's true.  If we launch something at some speed in excess of galactic escape velocity in a random-ish direction, I think the odds actually favor it leaving the galaxy before it has a meaningful encounter with anything.

Yeah, well, it's probabilities. The more stuff it comes close-ish to, the higher the chance of hitting something - and that's kinda my point. Probabilities and chances, and a whole lot of nothingness.

Well, that is correct.

Not just random objects, even stars themselves can travel through galaxies without any close encounters, ever, for billions of years.

In a galaxy like ours, a star system measures in something like lighthours (Neptune is ~5 lighthours from the sun). While the distance between stars measures in lightyears (next star from the sun is currently 4.4 lightyears away, and the closest encouner with another star that we know of was still a lightyear away at closest approach).

Would it be otherwise, the sun would have already been stripped of its planets, because thats what would happen if a star gets too close to the solar system.

Gotta say, I like the way the Buddha rolls. 

My interpretation of it anyway.  I'm looking at this from a background in a different culture, and I don't know the traditions associated with the teachings elsewhere, so I may be interpreting it differently than Buddhists in any orthodox tradition have. 

But a substantial part of my interpretation of it, is to be every bit as serious as you really need to be about everything, and not one bit more serious than that.  That takes discipline, but that's how to be your best self.  My attention tends to get caught by the big loud thing (I guess everybody's does) and I need the reminder to not obsess on the big loud thing to the point of neglecting the smaller things that I can do or neglecting the relationships and relaxation that gives me the energy to do them.

I'm not pretending that's the whole of it.  Even my limited interpretation sees a lot more than that.  But that's the thing that I personally need to remember, because the way my attention works does tend to default to an obsessive mode that doesn't help much.  Gotta relax that white-knuckled grip on enormous things to the point where I can actually maintain my life and do what's in my power.

'Heim' or 'Daheim' would be terms that can be used for one's domicle in German - though Haus, Zuhause (obvs related to huis and thuis) would be more common. I figured the Scandinatian languages would have similar derivates of 'Heim' for the similar purposes, and thus chose the term indicating one's 'home country'.


P.S. Why does Islandic have to stand in for the Vikings? What did poor Denmark do to anyone?

Obviously, something's rotten in the state of Denmark.  :roll:

Mostly because the language is still largely the same; being a bit more isolated, it didn't have much influences, and hence, less change. Old Norse and Icelandic are still mutually intelligible - which is not the case with Danish.

I was only familiar with "The Wild Hunt" from the Warhammer fantasy game and the Witcher. It's pretty cool to get into the actual myths of the the real Wild Hunts that cultures where Europe, Japan, and Hawaii have similar stories. I am sure other cultures may have similar "Wild Hunt" stories too.

Today I spent three completely unproductive hours with a patent attorney. 

I invented a technique.  The technique works (better than alternatives anyway).  I know exactly why I thought that it would.  I know what problem I had identified and why this technique does not suffer that problem.  And I cannot find any way to map that problem, or that reasoning, onto English words to explain the invention to other people. 

What was supposed to be a business meeting turned out to be more like an elaborate, embarrassing, frustrating disproof of Sapir-Whorf.

I don't know how many of you have ever played Zendo.  There's this moment where your brain has twigged on a pattern, and you can correctly identify groupings as being in accordance with the pattern or not, but you have not yet found a way to articulate the pattern. Where you can correctly mark group after group after group, but you can't state what rule classifies them?  I.  Am.  Living.  In.  That.  Moment. 

On the plus side it was nice to not be thinking about elections today.

It does differ on regional accents. You might find folks from Australia, say, might have more of a 'pier' kind of pronunciation of that word.

Also there are accents up north where it would be pronounced 'Puhr' or forgive me 'Purr' or I guess almost 'Pür'.

Once someone visiting our third-grade class told us a story about a squirl named Earl and and a squirrel named Beryl.   Who had some kind of argument that they took to the local wise-thing - who was, of course, an owl named Al.  Al wrote out his opinion with a pen and hung it on the wall with a pin, and then asked them in to share ten tins of biscuits and tea with their neighbor, Mr. Crock O'dyle, who couldn't quite decide if he was from Scotland or Australia so they had to listen to the way he spoke to figure it out.  It turned out he was originally from Africa, but had been raised in Australia, where he'd been adopted by a Mr. Gator - who had the same first name as the local wise-thing but pronounced it slightly differently....

I remember it vividly - even though the rest of third grade is mostly so much mush in my brain - because Beryl was my grandmother's given name.  And the audience-participation bit was particularly fun.

As an Austrian, I can one-up you on "Eichhörnchen": "Oachkatzlschwoaf". That's some heavy general Austrian dialect for "squirrel's tail". It's a word anyone north of the Weißwurst-equator is basically unable to pronounce properly.
Regional variaton of "Eichhörnchen" is "Eichkätzchen", but that always is dragged down to localised pronunciation.

Hmm.  I wonder how Mansa Musa's fortune compares to that of Lucius Annaeus Seneca aka Seneca the Younger, of the Roman Empire. 

Seneca, in addition to his more well-known activities as a writer, statesman, imperial advisor, and Philosopher, was also ridiculously wealthy.  I remember a philosophy class where the professor telling us that at by the time of his death, he had a fortune of over 600 Million Sestertii, mostly accumulated through usery.  That was several times the annual budget of the Roman Empire - easily enough to have wrecked the Roman economy if he'd used it that way.  The professor thought it was a greater fraction of the world's actual wealth than ever controlled by any other single person, before or since.  But I don't think the philosophy professor was counting Africa.

Seneca's the poster child for predatory lending practices:  he gave large loans to the kings and emperors of other lands, secured by collateral worth more than the loans naturally, and would then foreclose without warning at a time when he knew the loans couldn't be repaid, claiming the collateral.  If he could manage it he'd wait to pull that stunt until the victim had been already making payments for years and the loan income was about to run out.   

He's also reputed to have paved the way for Roman conquest more than a few times by calling in all the loans he'd made in some country at once, so that they could only just barely be repaid, tanking the local economy so they couldn't field a defense just a year or so before the planned invasion.  Or deliberately tanking some country's economy like that so that some third-party would overextend its own military budget and drain its resources invading them - then offer a loan to the third-party that didn't realize what had just happened - then a few years later tank *their* economy right before the Romans invaded taking both territories. 

And the Roman empire would often pay him hansomly for his help!  Especially since he would "advise" the Emperor to do so and often controlled a seat in the Senate and, you know, had connections.

And this guy wrote about Stoicism - accepting your lot in life, as every position has value, every calling is great when greatly pursued, and attempts to better your station cause only strife.  Advising slaves to be loyal to their masters, and so forth.  While ripping people off left and right.

Boudicca and a few other people got really, really angry with him.  Can't blame them a bit actually.

Mansa Musa is reported to be incredibly rich and "There’s really no way to put an accurate number on his wealth," according to a CNN business article linked on Wikipedia. His estimated peak wealth is US$418 billion. He had a very successful trans-sarahan trade empire along with gold and salt deposits in his kingdom that he exploited.

edit: removed my statement about Seneca because I'm a dolt and read the wealth of a different Roman and posted it.  Oddly enough Seneca isn't mentioned on the Wikipedia list of wealthiest people in history.

The springboks. They pronk. I wrote a sonnet about them.

A rippled wave across a plain of grass
A single tree stands solemn, dry and still
The puddles turned to sheets of golden glass
An unknown bird lets out a joyful trill.

And now, a mass of life comes into sight
Two twisted horns, set firm upon each head
Pale fur turned alabaster by the light
No tail to wave, but white fluff in its stead.

With coiled tension, springboks bound along
Stride lengthening to lift into the air
Across the fields they leap, their movements strong
Their merriment, between themselves, they share.

A party loosed upon the hot Sahel
For what do springboks pronk? They’ll never tell.

Yikes.  How dare they use a name for those jellyfish that DOESN'T immediately invoke the safety warnings and facts that people know about for coping with the Portuguese Man'o'war?

Giving those things a name that doesn't connect in people's minds to the relevant safety information they already have is just irresponsible!
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: Tova on 07 Feb 2021, 23:33
In Australia, the name bluebottle (https://australian.museum/learn/animals/jellyfish/bluebottle/) invokes all those safety warnings much more readily than Portuguese Man'o'war (well, at least as readily anyway)

How dare you guys use an unfamilar name?  :-P

To be serious ... I think they may technically be different species.

Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_man_o%27_war) says it's the same one.

When I hear bluebottle, I think of the fly, though.
Title: Re: This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Post by: Tova on 08 Feb 2021, 15:46
You may notice that wiki redirects physalia utriculus (bluebottle) to the same page as physalia physalis (Portuguese Man o’ War).

Also, check out the page on Man o' War:

Quote
- Portuguese man o' war, a floating marine animal found in the Atlantic that resembles a jellyfish
- Physalia utriculus, also known as Indo-Pacific Portuguese man o' war, a similar species found in the Indo-Pacific

So I guess Indo-Pacific Man o' War is also a name that's used?

Anyway, they are very similar. The bluebottle is smaller and less venomous.

In school today, I reached for into my backpack at the start of the lesson and realized I'd forgotten my calculator (an absolute must-have). A friend sitting in front of me heard me grumbling about this and handed me his. He was so confident about it that I didn't object, thinking he must have had two. Instead, he raised his hand and said, "Could I borrow a calculator for today? I forgot mine."

What a hero. Give this man a medal.

Heh.  I managed to forget mine for the AP Calc exam, which also happened to be on a day when my allergies were flaring up so hard that I was tripping off the Benadryl.  I’m really surprised that I not only passed, but did so comfortably, since I don’t remember the exam itself.

Yeah, in England that's something like 'wooster' or 'woocher' or halfway between.  It remains familiar, at least in part because some folks live there.

In America, people look at an unfamiliar word and pronounce it the way it's spelled.  And then their kids and grandkids have no idea what the correct pronunciation originally was. 

At this point?  I'd be hard pressed to call the above incorrect; I'd just say it depends on the American accent.

We say "Wooster", with the "oo" sounding like in "book" or "look", not "hoot" or "shoot".

She was on the sidewalk at an intersection. The driver was a woman. This was in Arizona. The truck was a flatbed. This was in Winslow.

Yes. That happened. She was standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see, it's a girl my lord in a flatbed Ford.

Amazon keeps pestering me to buy books that I have already purchased. From Amazon. AI stands for Artificial Imbecility, apparently.

Someone trolled Slate magazine's advice column with total success.

Quote from: Dear Prudence
Q. But I like this ring: My uncle “Bill” adopted me several years ago and we lived together. I have a relationship with him like a father and a son. Bill retired last year and decided to move to a retirement community. He gave me our house as my own, and he gave away a bunch of his other possessions at a big party. In addition to the house, he gave me a really nice ring. I absolutely love it, and I love the way I feel when I wear it.

However, a family friend, “Greg,” doesn’t approve of the ring. He showed me an inscription inside the ring that shows it came from a war. Greg said it was a horrible war, and I shouldn’t keep the ring.

Greg, in fact, thinks I should destroy it! I asked my friends what they think, and they told me they will support whatever I do. What do you think?

A: The inscription is on the inside of the ring, meaning no one will see it. And the ring’s meaning to you has to do with Bill (and the fact that you really like how it looks), not what it says inside. I don’t see an issue here, and I wish Greg would mind his own business and leave you alone. Wear it in peace!

If I see one more pop culture criticism that consists entirely of "it was lazy writing," I'm going to blow a gasket.

You realise that unless there is some substance to your criticism, unless you can articulate what was actually wrong with the writing, why you didn't like it, then you're just being a hypocrite, right?
