She stood up, then got down, and then back up again, and then stepped back with her hands on her hips to look away from the man, who was sitting between her legs. Then she went back to her legs as much as she could. "Okay, now what about you? You think what I'm doing makes you uncomfortable?" Her voice cracked. "Well, maybe you're right, and maybe I'm wrong. But I don't want to keep you at that, okay? I like having you here. Just because you're here today with me, isn't the same as being in another room with me right now. You know that. So while it might feel like we're being alone, I'm not." He smiled as he put the covers back on, put his shirt back down and turned back to her. She took his hand inside her to try to squeeze his hand. He didn't move. She felt his heart swell against her heart. He was looking right at the very edge

    The man is then seen making a run for it, and then it appears that the woman behind him was waiting for him but she was gone before he reached her and instead ran by him.

    The video clearly shows the incident went down on December 24th when the woman appeared in a car and drove off in his direction.

    It turned a line of my output log into a fascinating discussion on trees:

    Secondary candidate for event found between plateaus 2 and 5 at an elevation of 1000 feet, which would suggest that there are two groups of subjects – one group that climbs through the tree trunk, and another that follows the branch, so that they do not climb the branch. In this situation there has been some scientific evidence showing that the tree trunk has the highest probability of survival, thus it fits much better as a primary candidate. However, when looking closer, it becomes obvious that the tree has a more or less continuous line. The tree does not seem to make any abrupt changes in height that move away from vertical. In fact the majority of trees are relatively flat and vertical in the tree, just as with the branch. So the trunk makes no obvious change in height, and can easily be placed in the horizontal position in which it started.

    Why are there three different tree stands? Because of the differing sizes of the trunk, the diameter of a typical tree, and the rate at which growth processes occur. For example: an adult tree has a diameter of 4 inches; it grows faster at the top of the forest than it grows at the bottom.

    Florida man's body was found dead on the back deck of his own boat in Florida over the weekend, it has been named as Charles Kochert. He will be 38 years old.

    The body was discovered on Saturday, June 7 around 7 pm, while Kochert was trying to find his way back to shore and was discovered by local resident Mike Janssen.

    Kochert posted a lengthy post on his Facebook page on Wednesday about finding his body.

    "It has taken all of 4 days to reach this point, for one reason or another," he wrote. "Unfortunately the water and weather kept us from actually finding my body and my girlfriend. Please forgive us all as we are still on the hunt for my body, we are just not looking for the right person. I'm going to start to look for him soon, as well as make arrangements with someone that has been a friend over the past month or so. My heart goes out to Mike Janssen, his wife and family."

    Florida man who used his own name and likeness at a rally for Donald Trump won at least $20,000 in cash while standing behind Trump outside his Phoenix fundraiser last year.

    Richard Gurel, who is serving a one-year sentence for drug distribution conspiracy, was arrested last year after he went to see Trump speak at a Phoenix area rally.

    But Gurel made up for the time he spent behind the lectern during Trump's speech.

    After Gurel got up from his chair, a man wearing a T-shirt reading, "Donald Trump, I am a racist. I will stop you," asked if Gurel was Trump.

    "I agree" replied the man.

    The protester then stood up, grabbed Gurel by the neck and dragged him across the stage.

    According to Phoenix Police, Gurel was transported from the rally to jail to face charges of felony impersonation or fraud.

    Gurla is accused of using his own likeness, voice and voice effects at three rallies for Trump last year.

    Mr. Wilson, 37, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of his wife, Mary Lou Wilson, 44, a nurse in the nursing home by his side.

    The couple had been separated for about a year by divorce, but the couple moved again shortly before their deaths, and Mary Lou Wilson was living in his car seat.

    Mr. Wilson had tried to escape from the nursing home on March 27, when he drove across the street from a house where they were living in West Virginia to avoid being searched.

    Mr. Wilson said later that day he had seen an officer who said his car was at the bottom of a well in the woods where the vehicle he had fled from had been found. No one arrived to check on him inside the house. Mr. Wilson said officers then began to search his car.

It's got this wonderful power but is only good until you put the album out. It's a beautiful record but for me, it's not the best album."

  • Varys and Gimli are hangin out at Hogwarts where they're playing games; the three of them have the same favourite game, which Gimli doesn't know. After Harry gets into his favourite game, he tells Varyen and Garewynn the story of his childhood in Rivendell. Gimli asks who the player is, and tells him "Ned."

    Varyen replies, "Oh," then, as if having heard it, looks at Gimli and says, "Well, I guess he's the one."

    After Varyen had a conversation with the player (who was named Harry Potter in response) about his feelings about playing the game (which didn't affect Harry's status as an adult), Gimli asked him for his "best game ever" to win, as a way of clearing his head. Varyen then asked to go out with him, and Gimli tells her that he can join the army if she can come along. Varyen replies, "Well there's a lot to do," which makes Gimli smile.

    Rendez-vous is the eighth studio album by Radiohead, released in January 2007. After the band had been touring nonstop with a series of concerts in Britain for the previous several months, the album went to No. 1 on the UK singles chart and became the first album to sell over four million copies in the United Kingdom. In the U.S., "OK Computer" and "In Rainbows" followed, both charting in the top ten, and "Kid A" was followed by "A Moon Shaped Pool." In April 2007, Radiohead also released their followup to "OK Computer," "OK Computer: Extended" featuring the album's main singles, "Creep," "Burn the Witch" and "The Bends." In April 2008, Radiohead released its sixth studio album, "OK Computer: OK Computer II."

    While Dany kind of forgot about the Iron fleet, they left and arrived in Dorne, just in time to see them defeated by an army of Night's Watch soldiers led by Brienne of Tarth and Arya Stark. But the Iron fleet somehow returned in time and defeated the Storm King, thus avenging all their misdeeds from a few years before.

    In the meantime, Davos sewed the Iron Throne up and began plotting his plan to take over all the Iron Islands and rule them by himself. Davos is the youngest son of House Targaryen (Jon Snow, a bastard from their father's realm), who is the legitimate ruler of all three Iron Islands, with Daario looking after House Targaryen's lands in Casterly Rock and Dorne's North Sea holdings in the Vale, and the remaining Iron Islands (Davos's was Casterly Rock but Dany's was Dorne, including Dornish lands.)

    Davos then got the White Lion and began plotting to seize and take back the throne of Dorne, claiming that no matter the cost, he would get it


    While Dany kind of forgot about the Iron fleet, Daenerys managed to get Daenerys off her ship in one go and land on the sand, much to Dany's annoyance.[22]

    When she heard of the attack on her capital, Dany decided she wanted to stay away from Targaryen lands and instead chose to go to Iron Island and stay there for a while.[17]

    When the Iron Fleet was attacked at Yunkai and Drogon in the Stormlands, it was all too apparent that the city was on the brink of collapse since the city had been completely captured with barely anyone allowed inside, much less out. Even without the help of Dany, the Iron Fleet managed to put up a considerable fight so that they could get to the island where they planned to begin taking back their cities.

    However, they were outnumbered as many more ships left Targaryen land and headed toward the city, so it was all too clear this would be no easy task.[21]

    For the Battle of the Red Keep against the remaining Lannister fleet, Dany managed to survive. Despite only

    I assumed. But if it's analysis you want, I'll actually read it now.

    If your job is to work your butt off, you don't have time to think. You have time to make your mind up. You need to get the facts. That's what I tried to do with this piece. I started by answering a reader email on the subject of the FBI's use of the phrase "straw men" and ended by saying that's really not how their investigation works.

    What a bunch of self-serving bullshit! If something does require more work than the FBI will say that's just how our system works.

    But the more complicated the investigation, the more work it'll require from its investigators. It needs to involve everything from interviews, to forensic analysis and computer reviews of physical evidence or computers. Then it can produce whatever you want — a report on the case, an indictment, a report on witness credibility — provided you know exactly what you're looking for but then also provide you with enough detail to give the investigation enough information (as my investigation did) to help answer your question better.


    Uh, let's try again:
    [...]

    A week later I was asked about things from my past, as I wanted to know just what things I have and where I came from.

    It was in this context that I discovered a very old, very old friend. A friend whose name I forgot for months now: Mikasa Ackermann Ackermann! She'd always taught me that her parents, as teachers, were much more interesting than people like me, and that I was very lucky to have had my parents at such a young age to become what I am.

    Of course, the reason I told my friend about my past was for her to understand—even though I know she didn't like to look at me like that—the true meaning behind what I'd just said.

    [...]

    I was still a little skeptical, but I decided to give it a try when we got to the school.

    We went straight to a class. It was filled with girls, and there were several of them.


    Seems legit. But seriously, yeah, I can tell you doctored it a bit, but I have trouble believing you would say a phrase like "It doesn't really matter what anyone's image is." in this context. And then to randomly start talking about screen readers... You don't strike me as someone who is a proponent for accessibility, especially on this site (My personal experience on accessibility on NodeBB or Discourse has been all but good. Someone should make a thread about that...). Especially when you apparently talking about content that looks good, when it's content that is text that isn't typographically attended to by any means. And that last sentence... Wooey...

    I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes, just do like a deaf person. When I was eight years old, my father started getting me into theater and I got myself into the theater, and then I became an independent theater teacher.

    What did you do at that point?

    I worked on several productions and also in theater on stage, and then I went to graduate school at Penn with a minor in English. I also did the theater production of "Hush" and I sang and acted in a play called "Bondage" at the University of Nebraska (UNC).

    What kind of an education did you have?

    I had a great deal of exposure to theater before I went into graduate school and I really loved acting, I fell in love with it when I was a young child.

    Nobody shares knowledge better than this. He's a genius." "This was the only way." "A genius is like a dog with a human tail."

    When someone shares a joke, it is sometimes because they are too excited to look at someone else's face.

    I think the same applies. I remember hearing about a joke a few years back that we laughed on, but there was no way it could be funny. It was too bad everyone was laughing, but I told my wife that I could just turn off my computer, and she was shocked but delighted to say that it was really funny, which meant something to her.

    If someone is feeling funny, they don't tell you why.

    It's all part of the joke. There's no secret. If someone shared their joke with somebody else, they would hear about it and share the joke themselves, but not everyone can share jokes. There might be an element of "What if they said it, too?" that occurs to me every single night. I know I am one of those people.

    What was I thinking? I can just ask for the rest.


    At one of their recent gigs at the O2, I had the chance to ask guitarist Pat Martin what he thinks of his band. In the video at the top, you can see him introducing guitarist Dave Grohl, who has a different way of showing his appreciation of his bandmates. You can even hear him play the words "You got me now!" in his high-pitched voice throughout.

    In the video, you can see Grohl's smile turn into an angry expression as the three of them try to start a fistfight in celebration of the end of the show. In fact, I bet Grohl gets angry pretty quickly after seeing Martin doing that song. It definitely takes an act of God of sorts. You can see both in the video and on the album.

    So what do you think? Do you agree with the sentiment in the video that Martin can hear their differences? And what's the difference between the two guitarists? Should Martin's bandmates just let Grohl enjoy making them feel good, or would they rather keep peace?

If you want the ability to reuse the same code if you change it more than once, but also know that other people won't be able to do it if they change it too much, then the GPLv3 is for you.

    Avoid drinking coffee that contains caffeine or is from the same company as caffeinated beverages.

    Avoid eating foods with fruit and other green parts such as peaches or nectarines.

    Avoid fruits with the orange peel, which increases calcium absorption.

    Avoid using tablets and capsules that contain an alkaloid known as propionate.

    Just one more.

    Your horoscope for today: B

    The night of December 5th 2013 comes as the final countdown to New Year's Day begins. You're currently in the eighth year of your life when on this date and on every other date.

    Your horoscope: B

    Eggs: 12,500 or less

    Holidays in January: 13, or less

    Sperm count: 1,250

    The moon appears for one to four full moons within one year (not necessarily annually).

    The sky changes color over the course of the day, a pattern known as a corona. If the sun rises above the horizon in the late afternoon or late evening, or if light is weak or dim on that side of the sky (sun-over-sun), the color of the sky will gradually darken. You're also likely to receive glimpses of the moonlit night sky (the light that forms from the reflected light from the sun or moon below the horizon). As the sun sets, the light shifts. The change may sound like night, or night and day simultaneously, or it may just be



  • I seem to remember that once upon a time on my trusty C64 (I shit you not) I had a somewhat similar program (app? :trollface: )

    AFAICT I bought it via an Issue of C64 on -hold my beer- a tape and loaded it into my Commodore 1530 (C2N) Datasette.

    The gibberish that came out wasn't that different, OTOH -considering NO internet- quite impressive.

  • "Despite the constant negative press covfefe, I am back. Looking forward to seeing you!" His first tweet showed him at a golf course.

    His second tweet was a joke:

    His final tweet included a link to The Simpsons from the episode "Lisa's Dad's Garage," where Homer was going to drive his vehicle to the garage of a friend of his father.

    Khan is not listed as the person identified by U.S. officials as being behind the attack. But Khan did retweet the link to the show.

    Your horoscope for today:
    The end of the world (probably)

    Reminds me of that song that goes

    That's great, it starts with an earthquake
    Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes

    And the first thing that you have to do is be aware of your surroundings and always fly on the line of impact of an earthquake. So you could be flying into the center of the explosion or you could go around at a higher altitude. So you really have to be aware of what is happening around you. Just to think about the fact it's a direct hit that kills you. So if you want to save your life, you've got to be aware of that. And so the thing that's going to kill you right then is your lungs are already collapsing.

    Real catchy 😑

    What is 17???

    @HardwareGeek said in The Transformer:

    What is 17???

    17 stands for 17-by-22" with a height of about 28". It is a compact design. In total, it measures 22" across at its widest point without any of its handles in the way.

    Each handle sits on an 18" wide and 6" deep plastic body with its own handle strap that is screwed into the body.

    There are two main ways of holding this product: an open side has the handles screwed into the body and a closed side has the handles folded onto themselves. I do not use either method for my knives and I prefer the closed side to the open one.

    Another unique feature is that when you pick one up a locking mechanism is used, but the handles don't slide off when you are using your knife. So this way to hold your knife when it's not in your possession allows you to keep your weapons secure around the house in your pocket.

    I used to own a large knife with the handle of this knife I found in a shop, and as we walked back I noticed the handle and handle strap was in the shape as if a baseball player was

    In the beginning there was nothing, a lot of nothing. Now everything is being seen and something is happening: the ground is growing, the grass is growing, the leaves are growing, the trees are growing, the rivers are becoming stronger, everything is going towards perfection". At this moment he was thinking about "the sky": "The sky is beautiful. Its beauty is eternal. We think that this is how the sky has to resemble our thoughts – so we always see the sky in various shades. When I feel a change in the sky, I see this change in myself; I become one with the sky and all phenomena become one, i.e. I become one with everything".

    When he was feeling great emotions – especially a strong sense of being connected to nature and the Earth and everything – he could be seen as a symbol of a universal soul or god. His "heart" was filled not only spiritually but also morally, although at this moment his heart was also quite cold. He kept it that way all the life-long while he was writing the works.

    The day that Led Zeppelin skipped lunch...

    And she's buying the most popular brand, just in case it turns out to be more popular than ever. How dare she call it "chocolate chip". Is she a crazy? Did they just say that out loud?

    Or maybe it's just that she's so obsessed with it—after all, it's right next to her name on the box.

    You might see the same thing at your favorite department store. But the same can't hold true for chocolate chip cookies.

    At this point, I'd argue that when it comes to eating chocolate chips, your best bet is definitely just eating a can of brownie or muffin, and maybe a piece of cheese–just in case. It might even be a bit later, when it feels like you just don't have enough and they're starting to make up for it later.

    But before we get to the chocolate chip craziness, if for some reason it comes up, just give up and try this next strategy:

    Breaking news: As reported on Sunday, the Russian government was considering building a missile defense network in Northern California, according to the BBC. The plan, which could include the deployment of four Patriot anti-missile batteries, could require a major military expenditure on Russia's part, and the United States would have to come up with billions of dollars worth of funds to pay for the project.

    U.S. President Barack Obama has yet to make a clear stance on the issue and, until now, has been mum on the possibility of a missile defense system in the Eastern U.S.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin called the development a "game changer" which could mean that the United States has entered its "new Cold War."

    If you try generating stuff out of "Breaking news:" you more often than not get what seems like a full coherent text.

    I suspect the neural network has been trained to parrot full news articles after having been fed the same text many times from different lazy sources.
