... y'know, I had forgotten about that. Anyone know if the d. souls stuff reacts well to being suspended (via... well, I don't know if task manager can do it*, but process explorer can)? There's a lot of unpausable/shitty minimizing (the stuff that doesn't stop running when the window loses focus. That's fine for a toggle, but as a built in feature it's a bastard) stuff I deal with that way.

*Though checking suggests no, which is a bit of a shame. Hella' useful feature in a lot of situations.

E: Though if you're on call, you might not be on a machine you can use something like PE, dunno.

... that. That hair. On the right. That there's cannibal hair. You know not what fate you fled from, q.

Also yeah, there's at least one comic line for batman where he's an actual vampire. Forget which one(s?) it is, though. Is from a good while back.

... you sure you need to be saying that to them and not bandai? Because that sounds t'me like the major "barrier" involved there is... them. BN, that is. Not really sure where the AC copyright and whatnot is rolling around these days, though.

Significantly better, actually, B. Much lower chance of mold/etc. damage to your clothes, plus you don't have to re-wash them to get the faintly horrific stench out.

Seriously though, if you leave wet clothing in an enclosed space (that's not an active dryer, anyway) for an extended period more than once, I'd wager there's something badly wrong with your sense of smell :V

Hey, if there's anything to be phobic of, it's trump. Someone that can survive that long with that thing chewing on his cranium is probably some kind of lich. Republichan takes disturbingly little modification to work...

Clearly we must start at the beginning, and number them all chronologically. Afterwards, all will be referred to by number, and the great praises for #5062 and others of its well formulated ilk may be sung freely.

Invite your gay friends and lovers, too. Sheb deserves quality, not just acquaintances.

Not sure if there were any in the US.
Oh, there's still living ones for the US, to say nothing of dead ones. We've got a fair number of folks that were/are involved in incredibly skeevy shit that still get pretty good reception in the homeland, and that's a pattern that hasn't changed for the last long while. Difference in scale, maybe, but what we lack in metaphorical quality we do a pretty good job on in quantity.

Its not wholly bad to be able to provide extra impetus to a non-essential project that just couldn't be funded through taxes as they exist, given taxes shouldn't be raised just to accommodate anything that isnt actually important.
Is called "Donation". We keep it out of governmental stuff as much as possible because otherwise leads to rampant corruption and the vicious perversion of the democratic process. We've obviously been unable to stop wealth from having a disproportionate effect on the latter, but... that doesn't mean we should just roll over and present our sphincter to the moneybags.

Is nice thought to just say, "Well, it's going to be abused anyway, so we might as well provide a horrifically corrupt pipeline for those few that won't." But... we kinda' know what happens when we go that route. Similar methods have been tried throughout history. It tends to end incredibly poorly.

Just because the fox can get in the henhouse dunnit mean you knock down the fence and stake the chickens out in the forest, y'know?

Joke's on them, though. A library, in alabama? Ha. That may be a joke. Maybe.

My question is more along the lines of whether they (or whoever it was that actually did the websites) were using the same software. Lot of them doing the same thing sounds a lot like there might have been a problem with the metaphorical middleman...

Ah ha, yeah, that's it! Thought there was an s in there somewhere. And yeah, do recall that being one of the theories as to what the stuff was, but it's been a good few years since I looked at it any.

Anyone know if folks have figured out anything new in the interim?

... there is religious themed food, after all. M'currently forgetting the name of some kind of... think it was either hindu or buddhist? Drink-type... thing. That was apparently fairly prominent early in the religion's history, but the recipe was lost/forgotten at some point. Wish I could remember what the hell that stuff was called, or if there's been any progress made figuring out what the zog it was...
