    Are rams called rams because they ram things or is the act of ramming called ramming because rams ram?

      Personally I think they should go back to calling them Dodges.

      " I relate to you, Ralph. When I hit bottom, I was crushing man's skull like sparrow's egg, between my thighs... and I think, why you have to be so bad, Zangief? Why can't you be more like good guy? Then I have moment of clarity... if Zangief is good guy, who will crush man's skull like sparrow's eggs between thighs? And I say, Zangief you are bad guy, but this does not mean you are *bad* guy. "

  6. Analogue's Super NT goes on sale again today. As expected, you can't buy it since their site won't let you put it in the cart. Thanks bots! What idiots are running that site?

      Glad you got one!!  I love Analogue stuff!  But yeah, their website selling out of stuff or not working,  is no fun.

      I thought about making the effort to get one as I dearly love my MegaSg... but decided that between my original hardware's solid composite output and my Snes Classic's 720p (with Hakchi), I'm in decent enough shape that it's not quite worth the $ and effort.  Now if they had it up for sale for several weeks, it would at least be on my radar in case it worked out right.  But getting a sudden email saying they're going on sale in a day and will sell out fast...just feels like unnecessary pressuring.  I again love my MegaSG... but come on Analogue, be professionals.  Make more, sell more, order more, sell more.  Give the customers what they want, make money, make everyone happy.  Not that hard when you have a sought after product.

  7. Another earthquake just hit about two minutes ago. It's still kind of going right now.

      Felt it pretty strongly here (Santa Clarita). Plus an aftershock right on its heels.

      Same here - very weird sensation. Still a little queasy. Feels like aftershocks are still wobbling my apartment.

      Idiots have been shooting them off before July even started. I could understand people wanting to shoot them off on July 4, but June 30? It's stupid. And it scares my dog just so people can go "ooh, shiny things!"

      B.) Illegal here.

      The founding fathers wanted us to celebrate, to drink beer and blow shit up!  Time to be patriotic...The city is putting on one, actually, but no one allowed in the stands...Just drive wherever, or ride your bike,  and look up!

       

      That said, I've been hearing them for days now (And maybe small arms fire from the base)...I live a mile or 2 from an Air Force Base...

       

      2 days ago I delivered food to workers at 1 of the 4 Fireworks stores out at the Bison ranch and it was madness...Every one of them had full parking lots, crowds of people, lots of Colorado plates where they don't sell them...And this was about 6PM on a Thursday...

  10. Anyone shooting off illegal fireworks tomorrow?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      It's not illegal here,...Well OK it's technically illegal within city limits...Not that they worry about it on July 4th...Here in WY we actually have more fireworks stands than Starbucks!    We also have more fireworks stands than Arby's, Taco Bells, Burger Kings, KFCs, Taco John's or Wendy's...

  11. Anyone want to participate in a crowdfunding to buy The Chuck Norris Handbook off ebay? We can pass it around after reading it.

      That might explain why "certain" movies seem to really high numbers.

      Reading the entire article, at least going by what it states, I can't understand how this accusation is legitimate. Perhaps there are other facts to consider, or the article gets some facts wrong (as one of the comments seems to indicate). How can incorrect gift-card revenue lead to billions in overstatements for the parks operating segment?

      That would probably look insanely weird though.

      I'm pretty sure she's mostly there for listening rather than talking if you catch my drift. Maybe Alexa and Hey Google can keep her company somehow.  Like bringing furbys together.

      No.  And I never talk to Bixby or Alexa either!

      Oder a Kindle and ask Amazon if the packing paper is flushable :lol:

       

      (True story)   I actually did freak out when the shortage started (Seems almost over now, though) and I ordered TP from Amazon.   Lessee, I ordered it March 15th and it should be here on April 24th...So about 11 days from now.  Hmmmm....

  16. Good Journey.

      Thanks for the reminder! Just woke up my cat now... she was sleeping perfectly. Just as we are when she HOWLS and wakes us up 1hr. before she knows she's usually fed at 5am.  sigh

       

      Happy Cat Day biotch, and thanks for pooping outside the box!  lol

  19. Happy Life Day everyone. Have you hugged your wookiee today?

      Great idea!  Covid cases are doing wonderful, setting all kinds of new records for daily infection everywhere things are re-opening and people are gathering in groups.  I'm sure it's just a coincidence however.  Everyone needs to get out and spread those germs as far and wide as possible!

      Easy - you just have to do the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs.

      But Parsecs are distance not time, oh nevermind, (Actually I loved the way the Star Wars Universe legitimized this by referring to it again as a new unit of,...Ah,  scratch that) ...I mean it is under the jurisdiction of the Air Force, wait that is far too serious of an answer...What I was actually gonna say is there's a game like in The Last Starfighter...Find it in your trailer park and they'll come to you!!

      That depends on how busy it is, and on the applications using it.

    3. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Kinda depends who's asking. If it's a client, you'll need many hours a day including overtime. If it's for fun/yourself, yeah, just set it and forget it! Make backups. 

    4. wongojack

      wongojack

      Running - not so hard.  Performance might be a different story.

      MySQL is probably a little bit easier than MS SQL, but if you want to fhck with any database system, just go changing data on a massive scale and see what happens.  If you update 70% of the rows (or insert or delete) you will likely get some unexpected behavior, but I'd stop short of saying that it would stop "running."  Of course, if you were to delete a table critical to a specific application, well that makes for an exciting Friday morning.

  23. How much weight have you gained during our captivity?

      BydoEmpire

      None, continuing with almost exactly the same eating as before.  Intermittent fasting 16-20h/day, tracking calories, etc. I haven't been able to go to the gym at all, so I've been running more and more consistently than before so that's probably brought weight down a little bit.  Hard to say after only a few weeks, there's a lot of fluctuation day-to-day.

    3. ls650

      ls650

      No weight gain or loss.  I have been wearing a steptracker since November, and always make sure to get at least 8000 steps a day in, although lately I've been averaging 10000.  I've also kept an eye on what I'm eating, and that hasn't changed much at all.

       

      Where I live there is no "shelter in place" type order, but folks are asked to stay home and avoid others.  The slogan is "Stay Active but Stay Apart", and folks are told if you need to get outside for a walk or bike ride, make sure to stay a minimum of 2 meters from anyone else, and more if possible.

    4. Tempest

      Tempest

      About 5 or so pounds since I can't do my daily walk.  I mean I *could* go walking in my neighborhood but there are too many people out there and since I'm working from home I'm not feeling the need to get away from my desk like I do at work.

       

  24. I can't get these stupid lyrics out of my head! I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetery. I don't want to live my life again.
