All of you who drink cheap booze doesn't know what you miss.

Cheap booze is good for getting drunk though. Some of it's actually pretty good, too. Burnett's comes to mind, and a while back Esquire had a list of the best cheap liquor, which was all "stuff under $20 that's actually pretty good". If you're getting drunk, it's much nicer to be spending more like $0.30-50 per drink's worth than upwards of $2. Of course, if you're drinking in a bar it'll all be expensive as fuck, but bars are a terrible place to drink that much anyways.

If you're drinking for the taste, than by all means higher quality is the way to go, but after six or seven cheap beers, or a couple of doubleshots of vodka, you're not going to be caring if it all tastes like piss.

Yeah, inhaling alcohol fumes isn't dangerous in the least, at least not more so than drinking it. Alcohol wouldn't crystallize in your lungs unless you're internal body temperature was so low you'd have long since been dead. There's even apparently an alcohol vaporizer that was put on the market a while back (and banned in North Carolina (and only North Carolina, apparently), because of the efforts of some preacher screaming about how "that there delivery system be evil causin it's so fast and don't give no hangovers what are GODS PUNISHMENT FOR DRINKEN SATAN JUICE!"), at least according to a post on some liquor review site.

Mobs can climb ladders, but they're not smart enough to do so if you're not above the ladder, and at the proper angle for them to catch the ladder while walking towards you.


I've been trying to distract myself/prepare for the update on the map that has my cloudlevel highway, and the under-construction world-tree, complete with hole down to... well, a lava pool right over bedrock. Quite good luck for the lava to be dead center in the hole, too. The shaft was dug with dynamite when I got bored with mining and had exhausted all my legitimately-gained dynamite, so I just hacked in a few stacks and tore apart a mountain with it, including using it to bore a hole through the earth.

I started building a seafloor dome, but still can't get the aesthetics right, though I've gotten the procedure down pat. Assemble it on the surface with gravel, let it fall to the bottom, then cover that in glass. Airlocks require a bucket to assemble, usually, in order to counteract the flows by placing springs (since water doesn't flow into a spring on the same level).


Also, "The Slip" just sounds retarded. At least the blog post mentioning prospective names said he didn't really care for it either. The suggestion "tesseract" from the comments is better, if

If you accidentally your post?

Heh, I went back and added the third paragraph, and didn't notice I hadn't finished that.

"The suggestion "tesseract" from the comments is better, if still not all that fitting."

You need flint for arrows, not iron.

Whoa... How has this game escaped my attention before?  I've only had a look at a few screen shots and videos, but it looks amazing.  Since I don't have the many hours of spare time it would take to read this entire thread, can someone tell me what the current features are (or point me to a list)?  Also, how good of an internet connection do you need for this to run smoothly?

Maybe the maze I haven't found a place for in Hazordhu could have its home here.

Any internet is tolerable for the free creative mode, though I understand it's sparsely populated these days, but SMP is more demanding, with my shitty internet unable to even connect to a server.

Current alpha features.

The only thing that occurs to me would be to run the script with the privileges to start with, using 'sudo [scriptname]' or something? But sudo still requires a password, it just doesn't require using a root shell account, though I believe it puts you in de facto root mode for a few minutes... It's been too long since I worked with a bash shell to remember more clearly.

I fail to see how they couldn't be easily dispatched by arrows, like every other mob. (Swords are essentially useless compared to the machine-gun bows...)

She's under 18, you live in fucking Virginia, and plan to move away the instant it's no longer considered 100% actual rape if you so much as look at her a few seconds too long.
