This time I have to side with the Americans.
First getting into a fuss over a damn drug dealer, and now releasing a terrorist? What's wrong with UK?

I just want to argue that if people want to take something very seriously and base their life on it, they should welcome discussions attempting to point out their mistakes.
Currently it is the exact opposite. The more serious one takes their beliefs, it is believed that such beliefs should be discussed less. That's not healthy.

As for science, well, it achieved so much good (such as computer technology and therefore DF), how would a little belief (nowhere as religious people towards religon) hurt?

Well, it's more likely that tanning in many games is based on, you know, real life.

Of course it could work. I guess people are mainly concerned that the forums and the wiki are already working perfectly fine on providing Q&As, therefore the new site may lack mods and users, and may subsequently not work as well as intended.

Happened to me once. A dwarf fainted on a cage trap and got caught, I found out in her thoughts screen when I let her out.

People like things that are different or exotic.

At first I thought it was just a white guy attracted to asian women thing. Then I realized certain white women also get that attraction to asian males, just as some asians do to whites. It was a strange experience for me figuring that out. (It's why I don't go to animecons anymore- I had all these weeaboos and underage bisexuals attempting to drag me into their hotel rooms and buddha-only-knows what STDs they had)

I mean, hell, as a language French is super sexy to me and even though I don't have much use for it I'm learning it this summer. I suppose it's always applicable in melting women. They seem to love that stuff more than I do.

The weird thing I never get is, most Chinese women married to westerners or work as actors in western TV are extremely ugly by Chinese standards. I can't speak for other Asian countries but I would guess it's similar.

I heard from somewhere that fliers can't destroy buildings while flying. Can anyone confirm?

DF Bug Reports / Re: [0.31.01] No Fish. Anywhere.
« on: April 28, 2010, 08:28:53 pm »
I don't understand what people are saying about the fishing zone saying that there are fish.

It doesn't. It says how many squares can be fished from.

Correct.
It doesn't say jack about the abundance of fish.

In 0.28, the indication will be reduced to 0 once the "no fish" message comes up, and no dwarves will go there anymore.

Actually it is more annoying when YOU CAN SEE FISH SWIMMING IN THE BODY OF WATER that the game said "no fish".

An elegant damming method for a more civilized age!
I would have just cut out a piece of the cave roof and collapsed it into the lake.

DF Gameplay Questions / Are underground rivers still around?
« on: April 27, 2010, 10:58:33 pm »
I know the old rivers are gone, but I also saw people mentioning cave rivers and waterfalls when 0.31 just came out. Could they have been just very elongated cave lakes, or is there something really different?
Of course, I'm wondering about this for the sake of waterwheels. In 0.28 we could dam the cave river from the source, dig out huge channels and then fill them with waterwheels. That felt good.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Workshop profile not working?
« on: April 27, 2010, 10:30:58 pm »
Right - I tested with my "accomplished" weaponsmith, and he wouldn't work at all if the minimum skill limit is set to "competent" or above. This really seems screwed up.
I'll just stick to designating workshops to dwarves for now.
