@SC: Stimulants can actually make you feel tired (though note you haven't gotten rid of them, unless you're drinking decaf tea -- a cup of green tea usually has at least as much caffeine as a cup of coffee ), especially after a few hours, it takes energy to process fat and sugar* (also, neither of the two are particularly good for get-up-and-go energy, heh -- they're not terribly good for pep, despite what common narratives say about sugar), and if you're exercising and losing weight, you're carrying less around, on top of all the other good stuff a jogging regimen brings. Just to name a non-exhaustive list of what's going on, heh, as metabolism and whatnot is pretty complicated stuff. Basically you're doing most of what naturally increases personal energy, so... that's what's happening.

*Though I wouldn't be entirely surprised if you haven't really cut back too much on fats and sugars, heh. They actually tend to largely come from stuff that isn't immediately fat or sugar, hah.

It's mostly not.

Heh. I liked GH1's map and arguably more fleshed out quests et al better than I liked GH2's basically-a-solar-system and somewhat spare-in-areas content, but most of the rest of it I solidly preferred GH2 on. Mechanics wise it was definitely by and large an improvement, imo. Even if there was a somewhat annoyingly large amount of space fighting :V

Don't really blame bernie on that one. The fault mostly lies with the conservatives dragging the nomenclature further right. Mostly by way of smj's note.

Also, if you called yourself a social democrat a majority of the american electorate would think you're a socialist. That level of demarcation just isn't something much of the US voting populace cares to exercise. Maybe bernie's making it worse, but if he wasn't there, either term would be pretty much synonymous in US political discourse with "goatfucker", instead of how it's almost being treated due to him and his ilk. Basically, it may be making things worse across the pond, but it's arguably an improvement on our side of it.

So... necroing a bit. Also probably not quite a good thread fit for it, but I also don't feel like starting/curating a new one, so... yeah. Anyway, I just noticed today that apparently JH has started tooling around with GH1 again, starting back around the end of janurary. The webpage is back up and comfortably running, a new version of GH1 of all things got released late last month, and... well, yeah. Figured someone that hadn't noticed might be interested in the news.

It's... not quite back, it seems, but it's more back than it was last year, heh.

Anyone happen to have tried out the new stuff? Looks like it's not much more than modernizing the code and whatnot a bit, but I haven't looked at it much besides going "Oh hell, it's updated, go tell people."

I'm... pretty sure Microsoft Access can do that (or at least I could manage to do it with Access after I fiddled around a bit and reminded myself how the hell the thing works), so you're probably looking for database software. More than that, I couldn't help you with, as I'm not terribly experienced with the stuff.

*does the celebratory backflip of imminent napping*

Uh... actually, if you boil it for... a while? I forget exactly how long me grandma did it, at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it involved at least an hour. It comes out basically a roast. Can eat it alone and it's delicious, good for sandwiches, shredding to add to rice or whatev', etc., etc. Good way to get something (very) tasty out of cheap/near expiration beef. Not even remotely worthy of denouement, it's good stuff, and very accepting of seasoning.

... also, Arx, there's a number of homeschooled kids I've met that hadn't even washed their own clothes until after they left the house. Met public schooled kids that hadn't, either, but still. Brainwashing is only a secondary (if substantial) problem with homeschooling; the major one is sheer inconsistency. It's even worse than it is with public schooling, and that is saying a bloody tremendous amount.

E: Also, you can totally learn those skills mentioned in a traditional school environment. Home Ec, Shop, etc. It's just that the quality or existence of those opportunities is not terribly guaranteed (though, as mentioned, neither is it with homeschooling )
