    Bought tickets to a bunch of shows I now find out I can't go to.

    Some people think that a sculpture of DNA is "vile and offensive" while someone else claims it "verges on obscene". Seriously, I'm losing faith in humanity here.

    Satire article. There are people that dim, but these particular people's dimness is fictional.

    Yeah, I just found out. I guess my fail of the day goes to me -_-

    Poe's Law strikes again. "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

    It's a good satire though, because I do know people who are actually that dim.

    The Revoltech Gurren, Enki, and Lazengann figures are sold out almost everywhere on the internet. Looks like I'm going to have to look for them in dealers rooms next summer.

    I never really told that here but I'm a member of Suimasen-Scans, a group that scanlates mostly stuff by Koji Kumeta, so Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Katteni Kaizo. Well, we usually hang out on the IRC for things. Just earlier one of our typesetters called GreenTea came back from idling in the channel and said he was experiencing heartache. I told him to take it seriously and go to a doctor in the morning or right away should it occur again. Well, he later stated that it's repeating every 3 to 10 minutes. I've been trying to convince him for about half an hour to call a cab or an ambulance and go to a hospital, yet he constantly refused to stating things like "I'll observe the situation". At least I got him to call is general practitioner (he lives in germany) who told him to got to the doc tomorrow.

    Seriously, sometimes I really lose in faith in humanity. The dumbest thing he said that he's trying not to do anything stupid. Not going after medical attention or at least advice is probably the definition of stupid :/

    Really, I'm worried about him.

    There's been a bit of bad press about Digsby recently, but not enough for me to switch away from it. I don't quite approve of what they're trying to do, but I'm smart enough to disable all of their crapware and no other chat software has support for Twitter and Facebook (especially FB Chat) in the way Digsby does.

    Chaosof99 - Thanks for scanlating such unique manga, I read both of them, and eventually bought Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Hope Greentea feels better.

    I don't scanlate. I do mostly script editing for Katteni Kaizo and some typesetting. Haven't seen GreenTea online today yet but yesterday night he said he was getting better. Anyways, I'm going to relay your thanks to the group.

    If you're part of the group, and you're doing part of the work, I think you warrant some thanks.
  • chaosof99chaosof99
    Yeah, that came out a bit wrong. I'm still grateful for the thanks and the fact he reads it :)
    I just thought he was under the impression I was one of the translators which I wanted to clarify.

    It's 90 degrees today, and the AC in the lab is barely functioning. I am not pleased.

    I would give you and ice pop and say "Hold in there, big guy," if you were ten. Since you are not, I will say only, "Sweat it out, wittle Pedah."

    Oh, there is sweat. Dear god is there sweat.

    90 F? Don't be a wuss.

    What is your definition of hot then, Churba? In my book, 90 F is pretty darn hot to Pete and myself as well.

    90 degrees Fahrenheit isn't unbearable if it isn't too humid and you don't have to be in a stuffy building dressed in a lab coat. As much as I tease wittle Pedah, I am sure it is uncomfortable.

    I am well insulated, and a very efficient body heat generator. Combine these features with 90F weather and high humidity, and you have one uncomfortable microbiologist.

    I can deal with a drier heat, but here in Albany (and especially farther upstate), we have pretty humid heat. I've had many a day in the Adirondacks where it hit 95F with 95% humidity; those are the days when you find a body of water and stay in it.

    I haven't had the lab coat on for at least two hours now, so at least it's not as bad as it could be.

    Personally, I'm fairly comfortable unless it's over 100* Fahrenheit during the day. I prefer it to be above 80*.

    At night, however, I can't sleep too well unless it's under 85*.

    About 107 F is normally getting pretty sweaty kinda hot, but I spent a lot of time in areas where 122 F was the uncomfortable normal in the summer - but there, it wasn't as humid as my usual stomping grounds, so it was actually slightly more pleasant. Though, I don't doubt he's uncomfortable - I was just taking the piss in good fun. I would have greened it, but it wasn't sarcasm - I think I need another colour for those kinda jokes.
  • Kate MonsterKate Monster
    My ideal temperature zone is 65°F to 75°F unless I am going swimming in which case I prefer 75°F to 85°F. I used to live in Florida and Georgia where it can be relentlessly hot and humid for months and there is a reason my first complete (if grammatically incorrect) sentence was "Me hate hot." I will take extreme cold over extreme heat any day.

    Where is this sandblasted hellhole you call home? The surface of the sun?

    While I don't have quite the cold tolerance that I used to, I can still get a little warm while there's snow on the ground. Much like Mrs. MacRoss, extreme cold is far preferable to extreme heat.

    May I just add, 30C relaxing on the beach doesn't feel as hot as 30C working away in a non-air-conditioned lab.

    Maryborough, Harvey bay, and Brisbane(the coolest of the three). 122 is out at longreach, where it hits 50 C on a regular basis.

    That's just good sense - you can wrap up and get warm in the cold, but you can only get so naked, and even then, you're still sweating.

    It's a balmy 74 F in my office today. Sorry Pete.

    I guess my fail of the day is that you silly americans still cling to your own measurements and scales. Why can't you just use Celsius? It's really easy.
    -10 - FUCK!
    0 - Water freezes
    20 - Room temperature
    37 - Body temperature
    40 - Too fucking hot
    100 - Water boils

    @chaosof99, they also still use miles. And pounds. And AM/PM. And...

    Don't forget the Brits btw, they still have Pounds too!
