So hung over.
2 hours of sleep.
Only person at first job today.
Working second job tonight.
This isn't going to end well.
Still.
Totally worth it.

Finally got around to making my gingersofts today! They are tasty, but not as soft as I'd hoped. The fiancee suggests cutting them a bit thicker than the suggested 1/4" next time. Thanks again Gran Rey!You're welcome. Though I wonder why they weren't soft. They always came out soft and chewy for me, but then again I always suspected the oven at my old apartment ran cooler than what it was set at. Maybe that's why.
Chewy, that's the word! They're soft, but not as chewy as I'd hoped. I think my oven does run hot.
There's also the fact I used two medium eggs rather than one large one.

From the G1 - WindWhistler :) she was always my favorite growing up.
G3 is Baby Surfstar, I kept mine though and it's been my MLP under name for years!
The new series I'm definitely Twilight Sparkle :)
I just recently downgraded my collection to just a few ponies and kept only my favorites :) so if you feel the need - art or other things is better than actual ponies!
But I love them all and the thought is wonderful.

All I can remember seeing at work is Pinky Pie and Purple Moody Pegasus.
But then, My Lil Pony isn't usually my section.
Unrelated, I had big, big plans to go out and about putzing around town, but then I walked the dog, and sat down, now, I'm not so sure I want to.

Ended up going out.
Bestbuy was sad. I haven't been there in years. Definitely not the same place.
Found Frozen Stars and Beyond The Doomsday Door for 9.99 each at half price books. Now I give my older, beat up copies to my nephews.
Copy web addresses to text files.
I do this sometimes, and used to do it a lot, but it takes so daggum long these days for a Word document to open, and I really don't like the others (which are less convenient to find and open anyway).
Generally, even with poor internet, it's faster to just make a post, for me.
I use a bookmark bar.
I would, but my bookmarks are overcrowded as-is. I tend to avoid it for that reason. :)

I just had an epiphany on the Hunter class in my campaign setting. My setting focuses on PCs working under the government, not independently, and I never really warmed up to the Hunter class. Then I realized something.
I like zombies. I kind of assume the government of my setting can handle an outbreak, which would fall upon the PCs, as skilled agents of the government. My setting doesn't have Channel Energy because it doesn't fit into my metaphysical system, so Clerics (a generally rare class, anyway) aren't that strong against undead. So what's the best tool if you can't channel energy?
Well, what does a government force dealing with an outbreak hate? Probably the final cleanup. If the undead are out in the open, the government can outmaneuver, outnumber, and outarm them. Clearing a city or village after the main undead force is crushed is different, however, is different. Lots of places for the undead to lurk, not much room to maneuver, and lots of risk of getting ambushed. And you have to go house by house and room by room. Enchanted forests are worse, because of their ever shifting nature, low visibility, and inherent magic undead can draw on. What can help neutralize this?
Dogs. If you have trained cadaver dogs, ambush suddenly becomes much less likely. Of course, you'd need a particularly smart dog, so as to differentiate immobile corpses that aren't a threat from walking corpses. In fact, this goes way beyond the undead. Dealing with the Fey kidnapping children? A particularly skilled dog might actually be able to find a trail. That's where the Hunter comes in. Animal companions are smarter and more capable, and the Hunter is the most specialized in handling them. A Ranger or Druid could be a good dog handler, but the Hunter is the best dog handler.

cool.
I have replaced positive/negative energy with a boon/burden system similar to kenzerco Kingdoms of Kalamar series. You get less hp back but a small benefit too for boon, similar but negative for burdens.

I got that, I would've made a joke myself, but it's just so darned pretty there. :-)
Edit: That's not to say your joke isn't funny, I just wanted to make sure how beautiful it is was properly conveyed amidst the jokes.
If that makes sense...

'course it does! :D
I'm glad to know, and, if I ever get up that way (unlikely as that is), maybe we'll both hang there!

Save it as straight ASCII and use Notepad. You can use copy from that just as easily, and Notepad doesn't have the huge memory footprint that Word does. Notepad also starts quicker.
Now, regarding the speed of your PC. When was the last time that you Defragged your hard drive?
Plenty.
It's Windows 10 that's the problem, not the computer - or rather, it's been that way ever since Windows auto-updated to 10 while I was asleep. My PC is plenty fast for plenty of things - Word isn't one of those things (and, in fact, neither is Notepad when I try and launch it). It's only the launching (or loading, i.e. Internet) that causes the slowdown, and it's pretty much been that way since Win10, i.e. "You really want this stuff that you really don't want, no matter what you say, we're definitely aware of your preferences more than you are, and you're wrong, so have this stuff, too, that you totally want."
W10 hides a bunch of things I'd rather have available, while making things I don't care about more prominent. My Word now literally has an internet advertisement on it every time. It refuses to allow my preferences to stay (it keeps switching them back to, "I'll just go ahead and collect all the information, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm'kay?" about two seconds after I've tried turning the collection systems off, as an example), and the only "real" decisions I can make are the ones that don't mean anything, like what wallpaper I'd like.
Overall, ever since their debacle with Xbone, Microsoft has done little but become ever-more-transparent in their desire to keep, control, and consume every little piece of information about their users. It sucks.
Anyway, frankly, I don't care to go searching for a Notepad every time I want to save something, either - it's not on my Start Menu (said Menu is now an annoying thing, very presumptive), and I don't have (and don't particularly want) it in any of the folders I most commonly access.
Thanks for the ideas! I'm certainly glad you like the Notepad system. I think it's just a case of different comfort zones. :D

Notepad is in the C:\Windows\System32 directory. Create a shortcut to this for your desktop. Also check www.speedtest.net and see what numbers your ISP has.
Good advice that I probably won't do anything with.
Thanks, though!
For instance, my current download speed is 13.52 Mbps and I upload at 6.05 Mbps, with Xfinity as my ISP. Please post your results, or PM them to me.
See, like that doesn't actually mean anything.
I'd... rather not try to learn at present.
I have a mild fever, I'm aching all over, and I have problems concentrating.
I think it's awesome that people know this kind of stuff, and I might someday. This is not that day.

Very lovely out.

Definitely more than casually snowing now.
But if anything, that makes it even more lovely.
