  • No, but you've been in more than half the flamewars to have happened since you joined, and been the cause of a surprising portion of them. It's simple pattern recognition.
  • Well, I am on steroids again, but I don't think they would have been required for the pharma argument.
  • I think would be arguing with everyone too if I was on steroids. I hate that shit.
  • Found the stylus for my Wacom tablet in a box of alcohol pens.
  • I'm really really regretting my decision to give away my 12x12 wacom years ago. The Bamboo I have now is not up to snuff.
  • I'm assuming the teenager's kidney you got in return was worth it though.
  • LOL

    No, I was once young and rich like Rubin and I told a younger guy on a forum I used to post on that when I upgraded my tablet the new (then) graphite model with twice the pressure sensitivity, he could have mine. Sadly, I stopped being young and rich before I managed the upgrade, but still sent him the tablet I had out of an overdeveloped sense of obligation.
  • This webcomic:

    Is fucking fantastic.
    At first I figured it was just a Star Wars version of DM of the Rings, which it definitely is, but it has some neat things that separate it. Where I would recommend DM of the Rings for how not to be a good DM I would recommend some of that for the how to be a good one. Also I now want to play with a couple kids whenever the hell I get to play a RPG in the indefinite future.

    If we're posting DM of the Rings style comics. Its relatively new and has gone through the first two episodes and Dragonshy, but it has potential. Also a good resource for how to be a good DM as they're helping out a new player.

    This is great! Does this passage remind you of something?

    " Our guiding principle is that we want to follow the movie visually. But we are (obviously) changing the dialogue. And we are allowing ourselves to change actual elements of the plot as well. We've already done this to some extent, but nothing as serious as what we're doing here.

    Our aim is essentially to create what could potentially be an alternative soundtrack to the film. The goal is that when we're done, you could watch the film, redubbed with our dialogue (and some other additions to cover the scenes we're skipping), and it would all make sense. So we're more or less following what you see on the screen. (We're taking a bit of licence with the strict chronological ordering of some screencaps because otherwise we wouldn't have good shots of people for some of the dialogue.) But if something only happens in the dialogue of the movie, we are free to alter it. We want to explain what's happening on the screen in a different way, a way that actually makes sense in a bigger context.

    This is not quite the Star Wars you are familiar with. You must unlearn what you have learned. Like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, you are discovering some of this for the first time. Enjoy the ride."

    I've actually now done something similar to what they said could potentially be done.

  • I like that they brought up algorithms for lifts on 450 story buildings. I have never actually though about that being necessary.
  • It seems like Invicta FC will stream the whole event for free on their site today :D

    I solved that problem. The solution is a plot point in two of my novels.

    Neat, I have been meaning to read your stuff when I get the chance, although my backlog of books is forever stacking.

    I am currently putting this into my body:

    using generic Sour Cream & Onion ruffles as a transport medium.

    It's surprisingly satisfying as a snack food...

    Wow, glass desktop with daily use + camera flash = OH MY GOD

  • No joke, that looks positively disgusting.

    The sour cream and onion flavor chips really complement it well. It smells like dog food and the consistency is somewhere between toothpaste and lunch-packed pudding, with lumps.

  • Not helping.
  • Not helping.
  • I prefer Heluva Good's French Onion dip and plain chips. Probably equally bad for you though.
  • Helluva Good's clamp dip used to be God's gift to the Earth, but they discontinued it I think due to some sort of regulatory change regarding seafood products.
  • I cut off all of my hair and I'm sending the bulk of it to charity once I read up on which is best. I usually do Locks of Love but I'm told they suck.
  • There is a restaurant in ATL where the chef is crazy about ham.

    Yeah, this crazy.

  • This marching band is totally ran by geeks/nerds.

  • The entire Marvel canon is in Franklin Richards' head. I can just imagine Stan Lee in his old randomly bolded voice saying "dammit, they've FOUND me out!"

    Wait locks of Love sucks? How so? I gotta cut my hair for a job I'm accepting, and was also thinking about donating it.

    They got a lot of bad press last year for selling donated hair with a lot of questions about where the money was going. I'm not sure if there's a legitimate concern, or if it was all just hysteria and pitchforking. Finding balanced information online has been spotty.

    Here's a representation of the sort of criticism going around:

    Maybe they weren't in 2006, but they're pretty explicit about that. They claim it's used to help fund manufacturing. I also found the article you linked to, which reads like rabble rousing to me.
