I find myself asking a question I'm sure everyone has asked themselves in their life.

Does everyone else think chairs feel warm when another person has been sitting in them, as I do?  Or do I just have an unusually cold ass?
Yes Aqi, the chairs do feel warm. Though... I've never actually asked that. It seems pretty obvious, heh. Humans emit a lot of heat, stuff absorbs heat, stuff is hot after people have been emitting all over it for a while.

Eh Pnx, humans have been mostly the same physiologically (and therefor neurologically) for a pretty damn long time; definitely longer than we've had written history or agriculture. It's not terribly surprising the same sort of critter would engage in the same sort of social practices, though it is pretty neat (and occasionally depressing :P) when you notice it.

a large percentage of the MS userbase is physically incapable of using hotkeys and the right-click menu
No joke, I've met a fair amount of people for whom the concept of a hotkey is magic voodoo and the right click menu some sort of strange alchemy. Ctrl-c, ctrl-v is technosorcery for a lot of people.

Huh. That... that made me realize that, so far as I can remember, I never had a single 'group project' while in any of my major's classes, for the BA anyway. Coming together into groups for discussion or small things (a single in-class assignment or something) was fairly common, but nothing that tied major grades together or was long term. Heard about a couple of the classes had that happen, but those were with different teachers than the ones I had.

Guess I dodged a bullet, heh.

That's... pretty messed up, True. Other side screws up, you don't fix their problem, and instead of the magistrate telling the other side to fix it themselves, she throws you in a jail cell for... something. I think something's gone to someone's head... just maybe.

Anyway, dunno about win, but you seemed to have done relatively right (by letter, at least), so... non-defeat!

Cass maybe? I know in practice (full bot custom) wit'er I was wiping out the mage part of the creep wave with one spell pretty early in the game.

The latter promise, not former.

Man, you know what would be great (and probably really damn smart)? If one of Arizona's surrounding states said, "Hey! Guess what?! You come over here, scholarships and reduced cost housing! All you have to do is not go back to Arizona for a few years post graduation. Idiots back home don't want you, but we'd love some trained professionals! No one exempt in your state allowed, though. notSorry."

I'd love to see that.

Anyway, marking Arizona off my list of places somewhat colder than Florida to conceivably move to. Check ♪

What the hell reasoning are they using for the exemption, anyway, and how the blazes did they get that law through? Was that actually publicly voted on?

Heeee. Yeah, I'unno if we're under 'nado watch here, but the wind is close to howling outside and I can see a solid sheet of rain approaching from the distance. S'gonna' be great!

Wait, what? Sad thread? Err...

26455
Now... now I can't get the thought out of my head of YWHW having one head for ever single face that's ever existed or will exist. Like one of those hindu gods on crack.

Or maybe some kind of huge abomination made like one of those long strings of people cutouts or something, only flesh instead of paper. One for every person.

Man (plural, inclusive) made in God's image. Literal interpretation, wheeeee.

Bleeehh...

Okay, okay, sure. Frumple3 on CAO. Two 3 rune wins (SpEn, DGFE), one in each of the last tourneys. E:But I haven't played at all since the last tourney :P

No promises on time investment, though. Might be pretty spotty, but I can die a few dozen times for one team or another, probably.

When's this thing start up? Tomorrow. It starts tomorrow. Hrm.

Naah, just a floating house. They've got plenty of those (not sure how many with a garage, as they're usually fairly small, but...), though I'm not sure how many are seaworthy. They're usually on rivers or lakes, more placid stuff. Been in a couple, they're fairly nice.

Maybe a small one of those artificial island things they're working on... just with a motor or something. Maybe team of trained hauling dolphins :P

Mile-high drive in theaters?

If they're worth a crap, you won't feel them unless your eyes are incredibly dry. If the contact they had with the eyes were noticeable, it'd drive everyone wearing them right out of their gourd in short order. Getting them in can be a bit of an ordeal though :-\

That said... cyber-eyes, man, Cyber-eyes. I want my built in HUD. But! Contact lenses would be okay, too. We're probably getting closer, really...

When the hell did I forget how to be a child, why did I forget that, I still play with kids, I still am a big kid, but I feel I lose a bit of that each day, and I don't want that happening, I can't allow that to happen, but I have no idea how to stop it right now :/
Start local committee to build adult-sized jungle gym in nearest park. Let your path to the re-attainment of your childhood begin there.
