This shit is light years ahead of where it used to be.
I can't see the use for a shit that travels at or near the speed of light. That would break so many road speed limits, and for what gain?

@ben_lubar I do racecars, bro.

@Luhmann Incidentally, I've had some that was pretty damned close to relativistic.

STATUS Dazed and confused.
Due to a series of unforunate events I'm a laptop down and the drm from sky is tied to that laptop so I currently can't watch football. (I've harrassed their technical support but the drm cunts only work mon-fri... ) So naturally I go looking for alternative ways to watch the match. It's actually easier than ever to get an alternative stream but what I don't expect is that they don't work unless I disable adblock. No fucking dice. I'm all for fucking over sky and rebroadcasting their shit but I sure as shit won't let you profit on their hard work. I'd rather spend the day forcing your site to work with adblock than allow you to advertise over sky's ads.

@DogsB SUCCESS!!
Edit : ugh... Not even 720p
Another edit : I really like the stat based coverage that the US commentary teams offer but a little more cynicalism is needed. Always willing to see the best in everyone.

Relativistic racecars? Cornering at those sorts of velocities must be interesting; do you use mirrors or what?

You might not be letting them profit - you might just be helping them lose less money.

Why didn't you spend them?
Wasn't sure how to spend them. Didn't find any good weapon yet, and DS3 wikis suck as of now.

How is it like to work for a former employer? I appreciate if you can share the experience.
My 2 previous employers are offering me to go back. I have been considering going back to
job-1
butjob-2
is like going out on a date with an ex, a little awkward.

Level yourself up? If that's not enough to buy a single level, you shouldn't be worried about losing 13k…
-
I lost 15k working my way to buying the tower key.
Just started being summoned to help people and made it back pretty quick.
-
Well, this was just great. I couldn't take the subway home. A 5 minute trip became a 40 minute walk. Because it was completely full. Because there is a big football match. And 100,000 neanderthals have to go yell "OOGA BOOGA MY TEAM BEST YOUR TEAM WORST" and show their gang colors. Fuck sports and fuck everyone who likes them.

Which stats exactly?

Well, it was like eight levels...

Status watching lawmakers vote for the impeachment of our corrupt president. 83 yes and 27 no so far.

Status: I watched both of the live-action Flintstones movies while playing Fallout 4.
Both are shit, but the second is somehow better despite having a complete no-name cast. (Except Wilma was played by whatsername from Third Rock from the Sun.)

Status: This is on my ledger for the month.

Status: Finally built-up a bit of a video queue again, not a ton but 3 games and 4 stream games.
I didn't schedule them so they'll just randomly appear at random intervals as I think of it and make them public. So there. Schedules are for sucks.

Latest. It's a PowerPC model, so that's not very recent.
I wonder if you can do iOS development on it?
-
@Lorne-Kates nope

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

Hahahahaha nope.*
*well, to all the pendants, sure there might be a version of XCode capable of running on PowerPC, but it certainly wouldn't compile for anything even pretending to be running a somewhat recent version of IOS..

Status: Taking Final exam, worth 250 points of 1000. Currently have 605 points. This will probably be the worst grade I've received in the last four years....
Wish me luck?

@Tsaukpaetra You presently have an 80%. Complaining about bad grades is

Wish me luck?Unless your scholarship depends on the grades do not sweat over it, no one cares what grades you got in school. Good luck!
-
@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:

Well, if I absolutely fail, it will drop down to 60%, but I doubt that will happen.
Maybe I should interpret it as a source for encouragement that so far very little has been overly difficult?@dse said in The Official Status Thread:

Well I (foolishly) never did do very much in the scholarship department. Really should have found a way to apply for more of them, but considering this is the second-to-last class, it would be silly to put in the effort now, right?
Anyways, test is over, the auto-graded section says I missed 2 of 4 of the multiple-guess questions, so there goes 20 points right off the bat. ;)
Sad part is I probably won't actually get the actual point value of the exam (because raisins, professors apparently can't be arsed to actually put it in in favor of entering in the letter grade for final scores for the class). Whatever, I'm on self-imposed 8-week break!
Edit: @Weng, how do you figure I have 80% with a current score of 605/1000?
Oh, nevermind, discounting the final exam points, my derp...

@Lorne-Kates He didn't. Though he did remark that one person in the group photo stood out because he was behind ~2 empty seats.
Great show. I liked the first one better I think, but it felt short to me, not that it was any shorter than the first show.
He did mention that DPAC was their first sell-out of the previous tour. They had two shows this time, I was at the earlier one.
Tequila, Creme de Menthe, and Pickle Juice.

Mine was around $3.8k when combined with State. NFK why I'm loaning the government money apparently, but I'm a good little sheep and don't question it.

Status: Our new office manager is awesome. Not only is she great at keeping the kitchen stocked, she's now writing emails with "recipes" of meals you can make with stuff in our kitchen:
+++++
More Awesome Yogurt Parfait
+++++-Start with vanilla yogurt; add blueberries, chopped strawberries, honey, and cinnamon. Variation: top with granola or mixed nuts.
+++++
Spicy Black Bean Burger Hash
+++++-Cook a black bean patty per instructions; mash it up in a bowl, add shredded cheddar cheese, melt in microwave. Top with salsa and sour cream. Variation: top with hot sauce (we have Tapatio and Sriracha), use plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

@thegoryone I imagine racks are a good buy there, the things are virtually impossible to wear-out or damage and new ones are surprisingly expensive for a bit of steel and a few dozen screws.

@blakeyrat it's like a restaurant that pays you to eat there!

FML.
Status: It got worse. Apparently there may be letters we want that are at the end of the "number" but we shouldn't include some letters.
For example:00908156GPCD
we need to derive out908156GP
.
Hopefully we can make some safe pre-cutting assumptions about the length and padding of this number and (potentially) simplify the code, but I'm really starting to hate the way they're abusing this field...

Status: Yesterday I made homemade margaritas. Today I have accomplished nothing. I want to go back to my early 20's when I did not get hangovers.
-
@Polygeekery I've never gotten hangovers. I read a study awhile back saying there's a genetic component to it and a certain % of the population doesn't get hungover.
-
@blakeyrat You're lucky then. I used to never get them. That changed with age.
Of course, I won the genetic lottery on allergies though. I am not even allergic to poison ivy or poison oak.

Fuck you and @blakeyrat! I can't go into a park or indulge in potato based drinks for fear of reprusicians! These things are now known as weekdays and a potential fireing!
