<%phil235> how much blood is there in a corgi puppy?
<%phil235> a liter?

this gets worse if you know the context, but it gets better if you know who this dude is
I'm actually wondering that, now.
How much blood is there in a puppy?
Wikipedia reports dogs have an average blood volume of 86 ml per kilogram. (wow wikipedia knows almost everything)   And dogs have massive differences in size and weight as both puppies and adults depending on breed. 

To use a corgi as an example. A random online search pulls up a result on some random dog lover forum that puts a 2 week corgi's weight at 6.2 lbs.  According to wolfram alpha 6.2 lbs is 2.81 kg.    86 * 2.81= 241.66 ml of blood in a corgi puppy.
Science!TM

Cheers, that's pretty interesting.

Keyword being average. You know how those things can get, I'm sure. Outliers and all.

I'm building a half couch for our next Shakespeare show. Like, actually building it. Outta plywood and a couple of old chairs. My life is weird.

Yeah, set design is always a fun time. :P



My happy is that I FINALLY managed to get libtcod to work properly. Actually, that's kind of misleading. Let's say that libtcod finally started working properly and I was nearby. After hours and hours of trying increasingly silly and irrational fixes and installing semi-related programs to help figure out what needed fixing, I eventually got fed up and just redid everything from the top. And now it works. I SWEAR this is exactly how I had it at first, when it spat oodles of errors at me. But the important thing is that it works.

Libtcod? Sounds like some really weird kind of... fish? What is it?

You could temporarily activate a civilian alert, or assign the foolish fishers to a new squad and order them to station off the ice.

In the future you can enable zone-only fishing and define the fishing zone to exclude any ice tiles to prevent this problem.

Ok, Good.

One would think that the fact that several dwarves have died already from that ice melting would be a sufficient deterrent...

I am well-rested and tired as hell physically, but done all housework for today. Now I await a thunderstorm.

Come over to Austin, we've just had one... I think it's still ongoing in certain parts of Texas, in fact.

I'm only ever able to survive in TF2 as Engi because turrets mean that you can contribute while very rarely placing yourself at risk.

I haven't played TF2 in a long time though. I don't get all this crafting and level-up stuff in online shooters these days.

People these days are infatuated with the idea of getting stronger and more OP PLZ NERF OR BAN!

I know I am. Not that I'd actually work to get there, 'cause I'm very lazy.

Man I somehow managed to finish that flappy bird thing complete with a python backend to record the data (which is the entire point!).

First time using JS, first time doing networking stuff, first time using databases, I think I did a pretty good job c:

http://robust.noip.me/

(the server is plugged into my cell charger, so i'll have to find a solution for that and the server might not have the best uptime)

Gonna plug this here because I need sample size and I'm happy that I finally did something eeee.

It's a flappy bird clone for a school research project, made completely by me (JS + Python backend using sqlite and bottle) c:

Sample size? Are you... doing tests on us?

(Insert long-winded Illuminati confirmed joke/conspiracy theory that's too silly to be taken seriously here)

Of course, you can't exactly tell us the details 'cause experiment stuff, right?

If you want to know what release TF2 was like, get TF2 for the Xbox 360.  They NEVER patched it because they realized that Microsoft charges for updates.  Some highlights:
1.  Some weapons, notable the Demoman's grenade launcher, have the projectile originate at the end of the weapon rather than from the character's hitbox.  That means you can fire them through walls, including the spawn room walls.
2.  Pyro has no airblast.  Yeah...
3.  Demoman's grenade launcher has a 6 shot clip.
4.  All the maps are old TF2 maps, of course.  So they fail the golden rule of TF2 maps which is that there must always be at least 3 paths along which an attacking team can advance.

There's probably other things I've forgotten but yeah.  They spent years making their class based shooter but on release it was just demospam demospam demospam.

YOU USE AN XBOX FOR TF2?


Come on, you gotta join us at the PC master race! You typed all your stuff on a PC, didn't you? I'm sure yours can handle it, even this toaster I'm using can run it (although my laptop shuts off due to overheating after 1.5 matches on a good day because Dell devices don't come with flash gaming-grade graphics cards) :P

But to be honest, I feel sorry for you if that's the TF2 you remember/the only platform you can play TF2 on. I was born in '99 so I guess you could say I'm lucky. I don't remember awful shit like 9/11 or release TF2.

Thanks for sharing, by the way... TF2's come a long way since its first release, believe me.

Well, maybe not (I don't much play it because overheating)...

I see you, too, have fallen into the "save it for later" trap...

Whenever I can, I try to use the weapon that doesn't cost any resources.

You can imagine I get in tight spots sometimes as I try to adhere to this policy.

I don't know whether I should be honoured or offended at your comment. All I know is that it's disturbingly accurate.

I also exhibit Nazi-ish tendencies. Yesterday at school we had to vote on some pictures of nature taken by photography students.

I really liked one but voted for someone else because they used the word "effect" instead of "affect".
Truly dear photographer, climate change has affected your brain more than it could ever do to that glacier.
Oh shit, literally Hitler

Adolf m8, I have to warn you not to invade the Poles b4 u WWII everything

This feels relevant somehow. World wars and the like.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. This is the Internet; whoever you stole it from probably stole it from someone else, and so on.

Oh my god the internet is a vehicle for theft! BAN NOW BEFORE OUR CHILDREN ARE STOLEN AND KILLED! The internet is a vehicle for plagarism and it's destroying our creativity! *Unintelligible growling and screeching*

Not that I actually know anyone who's super duper against the internet. Except maybe my school, and that's just blocking freeware, Youtube, pornography/adult stuff, games, things that can be justified.

Except maybe the Youtube ban, 'cause people need to get permission for every individual video (even a channel made by student press can't be cleared).

Anyway...

Used a pistol as my main weapon and got away with it, only switching weapons when I was really in trouble (two mutant clingers at once or something like that).

Having the pistol fully upgraded and having reloading near its maximum for both characters helped loads, as you might imagine.

I also got the "I'm the Alpha" achievement while doing so.

Was able to trade a few pots of prepared food for almost everything the human caravan owned (short of really expensive stuff like steel bolts, giant trap components, etc.)

I hit a scary number of people with my hammer in a short amount of time.  In fact I hit so many people with my hammer that an opponent became very salty about how Reinhardt is too good and all you have to do is run at people and hold down LMB.

Ok, sorry for the Off-topic moment, but... this is now the 7th character I hear is "OP" in that game. Isn't the definition of OP kinda... vague in that?
Considering there are only 27 characters... yeah.  They did a very good job balancing the characters so that they all feel powerful without being overpowered.  There are OP and UP characters for sure, but considering how many there are the devs did a remarkably good job with the whole thing.  Its kind of like TF2 on crack (3x as many classes) yet some how FAR more balanced than release TF2.
I don't know anything about Overwatch, and I don't know what you do/don't know about TF2...

Aside from the Phlogstinator, I'm not sure what you mean specifically. With public servers it's kind of down to luck whether you've got a team willing to actually be a team or not.
