I had to kill a bullfrog with a guillotine today. His headless body jerked and ribbitted as I pithed him.
Welcome to biology. What, you never killed a mouse by cervical dislocation? Or cut the still-beating heart out of an embryonic chicken?
I mean, I'm over it now, it was just the first euthanasia I've had to perform. It's not that bad after you've done it once, but the jerking and noises are kind of unnerving. In a couple weeks we're doing a group killing of mice using a helium bell jar to prep them for dissection; I'm ready.
I bet this is how hitmen feel after making their bones.
The :last-child pseudoclass still cannot be reliably used across browsers. In particular, Internet Explorer versions < 9, and Safari < 3.2 definitely don't support it, although Internet Explorer 7 and Safari 3.2 do support :first-child, curiously.

I rely on :nth-of-child too much. Good thing there's a polyfill for it!
I dunno I don't usually do much CSS stuff. I just didn't want to break my loop into building all but the last li then explicitly grabbing that one so I can add a border.
I have officially remade the same project three times out of different materials to have EVERY ONE OF THEM fail. This most recent one, I made of polymer clay, and it was fantastic and totally done and worked... and then crumbled to pieces in the oven. It's due today and I have to be in the costume shop in an hour and a half.
My sister to me, Yesterday: "You should feel guilty being paid to do things for the family business, like deliveries, despite making less than minimum award for your time while doing so, and being cheaper than any other method of moving those packages. And despite that it's a business."
My sister to my mother, today: "You should give your current-year laptop to your friend and buy a $2500 Macbook pro because I like macs more than PCs. They have nicer processors."
Cue me spending an hour fielding questions about where she should buy a new computer and if she should buy a mac.
I have to write a reverse-engineered spec for a complex legacy report that was migrated from the old mainframe system to SQL, then refactored 5 or 6 times, all with no formal spec because the report was always supposed to be temporary. It generates 6000 printed pages of data that would be much more suited to a hierarchical interface than a flat report, but we have dinosaurs working here who demand paper. There's a minor accounting/auditing discrepancy somewhere. I don't have the business domain knowledge to find the issue, so I can only provide criteria and let them puzzle it out (and gripe at me for not having the answer through the magic of IT).
Well I wouldn't presume to comment about your sister, who I don't know, but damn, she sounds like my dad's entire side of my family excepting my dad.
Basically, my entire family, since my mom's side is dead except for mom (crazy) and one incommunicado aunt/cousin pair.
They are basically all carefully counting my grandparents' money as they spend it and doing PR while waiting for them to die.
Oh, and trashing me, for not playing ball, not kissing ass, and not wanting to come to family "gatherings" that are all about the afore-mentioned vacillations.
Dust masks are only as good as their fit. Those cheap paper ones never fit particularly well.
Get a commercial grade particulate/vapor mask from Home Depot or Lowe's or equivalent for like 30 bucks. You can swap the filters out as necessary, for me I haven't used up a set in 7 months of heavy use with organic solvents. It has adjustable straps that go around the sides and top of my head, and the mask itself has a nice, flexible rubber gasket that ensures a really good fit.
It's funky, I can't smell a thing with that mask on. I could gut a skunk with it on and suffer no stench.
Sure it's overkill, but you won't taste plaster (but you will probably burn through particulate cartridges.)

I hate this class.

Ugh.

Despite wearing a dust mask I can still taste plaster. I am so sick of tasting plaster.
