Trust me. If you built your own computers and tried to run Steam games on Linux, you'd be intimately familiar with Reddit.

The MLP porn can be found anywhere on the internet without looking for it though.

I just assumed it was the office building in Die Hard.

I believe that smelling burnt toast when no toast is burning is a sign that you're having a stroke, but what about the phantom scent of fried beansprouts?

Beware of giants!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Xmas, KoCa!

It's Boxing Day in the UK, but that has nothing to do with fisticuffs (it refers to the tradition of giving presents to the dustmen/garbage collectors, postal workers, etc.), unless things get out of hand at the duck race.

We Canadians also celebrate Boxing Day! It's like an extra day of Christmas!

Oh, and it is tradition for the duck race to be rigged.

Not to brag or anything but in America every race is rigged!

I'm not crying. You're crying.

I told you onion eye liner was a bad idea.

I won't f@&+ing tell if you don't.

Yes, that's Sonic; he's the fastest thing alive; the fastest thing alive!

Pretty much my entire attitude towards the world:

Headline: Facebook is down, along with Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Oculus VR.

NobodysHome: I'd buy someone a drink, but I somehow suspect it's incompetence over malfeasance.

Get old enough and you realize that there really aren't any global conspiracies out there -- it's just dumb people doing their jobs... poorly.

What's down? Is it the Russians?!! Oh god, why am I always the last to know?!!!

After the maces and axes, tonight we got new spears (O Ambassador, weez zis plethora of synthetic mediaeval weapons, you are really spoilingue us).

The bloke who sold them to us was very confident that we wouldn't manage to break them.

Guess what happened.

A gentle dance number set to mozart with non broken spears and a s*!!load of colourful ribbons about spring and s~&%.

Nothing quite like a (metaphorical) funeral to bring the old band back together.

*pours one out for Sara Marie*

you're going to make me cry, again.

Happy World Mosquito Day, everyone!

What's Wrong with my Brain, Chapter 897:

This morning in the car I switched on NPR, and the story was about the Eurovision competition, which is the first big spectator event to happen in Europe since the start of Covid.

And because I turned it on halfway through the story, I missed the first part and what I heard was how one of the Icelandic band recently tested positive and it was such a shame because they were the odds-on favorite to win.

And because of what just happened with the Kentucky Derby, my brain went straight to doping. And I thought, what kind of performance-enhancing drug could get a rock band disqualified? Especially considering the fact that the contest is happening in Rotterdam. Isn't Holland the country where no one cares what you take as long as you bring enough to share with the rest of the class?

And it took me a good couple minutes to realize that what the band tested positive for was actually Covid.

Its true. We dont care what drugs you take as long as you do it responsibly.

That's not how Americans do anything.

According to cats everything not a cat is a rodent.

In other news, they have officially confirmed what I already knew, i.e. I have THE PLAGUE, which is why I 've been self-isolating since Sunday. It's far from fun, but I'm just tired, snotty and a bit feverish - I don't require any medical attention, thank goodness.

Who's going to fight crime in your absence?!

Will Ireland become the next Texas!

More at eleven.

I think its all been downhill since we crawled out of the primordial ooze.

I, for one, welcome our new primordial ooze overlords! May their reign be wet, but fair!

No. And neither am I.

I'm glad none of us know what's going on then, either way, it's good to see you back. Or not.

Holy s&**, it's like Masterchef up in here.

Bechamel is just a vessel for cheese.

I'm pretty sure it's French.

It's truly a magical sandwich.

It's a curvy Tuesday.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with summer!

Ambrosia Hulk, coming to Netflix...?

Or, Florida Slaad, next on the evening news!

I'm on central time.

And here I've been wearing my Unbirthday suit!

You guys lied to me again!!

Surprisingly, Eddie Vedder playing a ukulele did not.

Yes, funk has been scientifically proven (by me) to improve f%%+ing (or whatever you want to call it).

In fairness, everything in Washington state is trying to murder everything else in Washington state.

Okay when precisely is the age threshold that becomes an increased risk factor? Both of my parents are 59, but mom insists they're not old enough to be in any more of danger than me at 35. All other factors - minor respiratory allergies, high blood pressure, etc - are the same, more or less.

As they're leaving today to go on their two week out of state visit to the grandkids this came up in discussion, but dad not only wouldn't cancel the trip, he quickly scrambled to reschedule when their original flight was cancelled.

It varies week-by-week and depends on what media source/medical source you want to listen to.

I've heard everything from "over 50" to "over 70", so I'm just playing it safe.

Given their only source is Fox....

Anyone who voted for Hillary...

At least that's what I assume Fox News is telling them.

AT&T Update: Road closed for 1.5 days now, AT&T employees spotted: 0.

That's one more than I thought would show up.

We're cool. We're aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall cool.

Sure I spent the weekend too sick to prepare, and, yes, I have a player who it literally pushing at the boundaries of the rails every chance he gets (and also generally annoyed with the NPCs, because clearly he's the most powerful being on the planet and their plans matter little in the face of his own), and, yes, my ADD and dyslexia seem to be on in overdrive, and, yes, I slept poorly last night, and, yes, I am absolutely not in the mood.

But. I can do this. It's aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall cool. Dang it.

Just picture CY fencing with a harmonica in his mouth. Naked. See? You'll be fine.

I'm going to be internet famous.

SAW BIRDS OF PREY WITH THE MONKEY

Does this make me an Influencer? I guess I gotta get an Instagram account now.

We made it up to 14 degrees today!

Which means Bob Lindmeier f$%!ing lied to me!

We're below freezing for the first time this fall.

NH (and/or anyone else): I’m thinking about a formula, but I’ve forgotten the name of it... and the math of it...

The basic problem is such:

I can create a single cone of X size (in this case 500 ft., but that doesn’t really matter).

I want to have a single cone “on top” as it were.

I can use any number of cones to create other shapes below, but they need to have a bigger area and to be just as wide as the widest point for each step below the one above and be solid from below.

As an example, I can’t stack a cone on top of another cone. I can stack it on top of four cones: three in a tight triangle and a fourth inverted and fitting the previous three (as an example - I’m pretty sure that’s the “tightest” I can make layer 2). Layer three must be bigger in area than layer 2, but should be as small as possible.

I remember seeing someone discuss this (rather, something like it - I think they used pyramids) once in a geometry class I took, but geometry (like chemistry) was always super annoying to me, soooooo... I don’t think I’ve ever used this since.

Is there a simple formula you know? Or will I have to just do really annoying shape work?

(I’m going to about 60k feet - so one-hundred twenty iteratives - I’m just hoping for a non-manual way to tell me how many I’ll have by then; In an effort to prevent widening, I’m cheating a bit, and allowing “increasing stacking” - so I can actually use the filled in triangle of section 2 twice; use the square I got for section 3 [made of four cones with a cone in the middle] thrice, and so on. Fundamentally, however, that shouldn’t change the basic formula beyond regular adjustments. Though given my current state of mind, I dunno, guys. I might just epic fail.)

He's speaking in tongues, again.

Frankly, I'd rather see images of interracial porn then Boris Johnson.

Hello, John!

You know, I should REALLY know NOT to click on a Ted talk called, "Why Societies Collapse", but of course I did. And yes, it's as depressing as you'd expect it to be...

Is it because they elect a racist moldy pumpkin wearing an expensive suit being operated by Don Bluthian mice bent on over throwing the human race from within.

Because I already figured that out.

I f@~&ing HATE Hy-Vee, just saying.

I don't care about Seoni new outfit the old one was just over the top sexualised, but it is a shame for Sajan. He looks less Shoanti now, I think.

However some of that PG thing just wrecked my favorite monsters: Ogres were way better before. Now they look like generic cannibal monsters, but no more consanguinity or mutations, that's a shame. Same for the Succubus, who looks like a Tieffling courtisan rather than the lust demon.

I think that being more conservative for players is okay, but some monsters should keep the atrocity/maturity they deserved, in the core representation.

I am afraid when the art of Noctila & Sorshen are going to come out. They both use lust power.

And it is not for the sake of it, just that if you want to have some mature thematic and monsters, it should be ok for these few monsters to be represented in terrible ways. That is what make them monsters and opponents.

I remember a time when Goblins hide for trying to catch and eat childrens... Now they eat pickles for god's sake.

As stated earlier, Sajan was always Vudrani. But yeah, his new shirt looks weird. Overall I prefer the older art. Although I do think Seoni was absurdly over the top in her sexualization, and I find the new art to be an improvement. Such over the top cheesecake sometimes feels a bit insulting to me honestly. It sometimes feels like some exec somewhere is figuring the fan-base is just a bunch of adolescent boys who are easily swayed in their purchases by boobs. No, I don't think that was ever Paizo's intent, but it can be off-putting.

Ogres are still inbred with mutations (from the new bestiary): " Ogres practice incest regularly, believing that it makes for stronger familial bonds, and most ogres are misshapen or mutated from generations of inbreeding." Also lots of mention of their cruelty and how they mentally scar their captives. The artwork is a bit different, but I'd chalk that up to different artists unless we start seeing them portrayed differently...

I for one welcome our new Shakespearean Ogre Overlords! A little drama with our backwoods cannibalism never hurt anyone!

Except for maybe the person being cannibalized.

Tonight I'll be sleeping on a new bed!

For the first time in... Well, forever...

All hail Drejk's new bed! Which will go splendidly with hailing Drejk's (no longer) New Mattress!

Of course, it would've been clear if you had a sarcasm alias, just saying.

Anyone here go to a prom in the last 20 years? What did it cost you?

I didnt attend - proms have dances and that was a big no no for religious reasons - but our school didn't charge for entry from what I heard from classmates, they made the money on selling stuff throughout the year and setting out a tip jar and asking - not requiring - attendees to drop in five bucks or so.

You gotta be kidding me.

I'm more surprised you haven't heard of that before. There's a fair few branches of Christianity that prohibit dancing between anyone but married couples as it's "inappropriate" or "lascivious" behavior otherwise.

They obviously haven't seen twerking yet.

I would sell you all for one week without rain.

And a cheeseburger.

I miss the days when I only had one Endgame thread I had to hide.

I, for one, welcome our new second edition overlords! May their rule be long, and action packed!

You people realize I've driven 18,000+ miles across country, I've been complimented by a Beatle, Dave Matthews, 2 presidential candidates, AND Sir Mix-a-Lot.

But you're right, I'm probably not that interesting...

And that's just a fraction of my life, who knows what else I know, or have done.

It can be really difficult to think of good, compelling questions. And I am certainly no Bernard Pivot.

Difficult?... Compelling?... Um, think of it more like Barbara Walters and less like Comicon.
