I have come back from seeing Godzilla.

It was glorious.
All hail Godzilla, king of monsters!

Ahem, with that out of my system: I heard good and bad things about it. As in, the relationships were bad and acting not great, but some cool scenes and a decent looking Godzilla.
It was really good. Especially the Godzilla.

[spoiler = OOC]
Angel just got called 'she' by Piecewise again... I'm going to have to change either their gender or switch to another callsign aren't I? :D
[/spoiler]
1. It works better when you don't add a space between [spoiler and =.
2. It mightn't hurt. Or you could keep it and we could make peoples' gender confusion a part of your character.

D'oh... I have no idea why I keep trying to put a space there... I do it nearly every time, usually I catch it before hitting post though... I'm blaming too much time spent with coding languages that ignore whitespace...

and re 2: true, lets face it, hardly the weirdest thing to happen to an ER character... I might run with it a bitm truth be told I'm nowhere near as bothered by it as it might appear, I find it vaguely amusing to be honest since whilst I don't have a particularly clear mental image of Angel... I guess probably something like Adam Jenson from Deus Ex: HR or this guy: http://37.media.tumblr.com/bf6057285ad56262d367fd2ea5d85af6/tumblr_mq1slt4aJW1r6ai3mo2_1280.jpg is probably in the right area, at least for his merc days... Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo and never ever cut a deal with a dragon

Phrasing. "Thats 17.3 degrees, 18th radian." Like saying "17 minutes on the 18th hour", or "17th day of the 18th year".
Which assumes that it is an angle, that they are indeed added that way, and overall that things are being used exactly like you believe they are.
Equally true for your interpretations. And unless you mean either a musical group, a comic book character, a motorbike, or any number of insects, "radians" only really has one applicable meaning here.

Alternatively, it really does use "radian" in some nonstandard way. But I can't see what it is.
I suggested it a while back. 13 default radii from some central point.
See above for applicable meanings. "Radian" and "radius" have nothing in common but the four first letters and the vague relation to circles.

I can toss in a linguistic curveball here with a radian being "two PIths of a circle", with "pith" (pronounced pee-th rather than pie-th) meaning anything from a pit to a spinal cord (or the act of killing something via breaking the spinal cord), but it somehow starts making even less sense then.

Unless we have to make Jim break Mesk's spine 35 times, and cool them to exactly 17.3 degrees (Celsius or Fahrenheit?) exactly when he does it the 36th time. No idea where a circle figures into this, or what purpose it would serve, but I see no harm in trying.

Recently reading through the Samsonite Abyss mission again and it's still as interesting as it was back then, especially now that my character's safety isn't on the line. A large part of the group getting injuries due to rocks or razor-sharp "trees" as well as Maurice's brilliant and sometimes violent (mainly when it came to Faith - he got some bonus points from Milno due to that) doctoring are good highlights. Charro died and most of the team was either temp-dead or maimed by the time we decided to call it a work well done and leave the place before we all got turned into sausage filling.

I'm still disappointed we didn't manage to figure out how the tuning fork controlled things in the Abyss before the Ligheater took it away, though. Judging by how things played out, I think some experimentation and Intelligence rolls would allow one to master its usage or at least get pretty damn close to it.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Equally true for your interpretations.
The difference being that I'm not saying/implying that one is true, I'm saying that they might be.

If it's being used correctly. Which in all probability, it isn't, and even if it made perfect sense to use the standard definition...well...we still couldn't say for certain that it was that, because the seven-eyed sheep doesn't make sense.

Wrong! One radian of arc is equal to the radius of the circle. Or as you put it...

And no, interpreting it this way doesn't mean we need to find or make a circle. It means that someone designated one.

Seriously though, I thought piecewise meant "Hold your actions and speech and stuff." since he responded to Tavik Toth. If not, sorry piecewise, misunderstanding.

If we buy a tomato plant and attach special gauss rounds to the berry anchor points then put it through the pill machine and feed it to Mesk, would he become a walking ammunition factory?

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Because they're holding us back! They say their teachings protect us from the dark side but all they do is keep us weak, so that we can't realize our true potential! They're afraid of how powerful we can become, afraid they'll no longer be able to control us with their little rules and titles!

But I've seen a different way. A way of freedom and power! Join me, and together we shall rule the galaxy as dragon and magmahorse!

The main constraint in the formula is really the quadrant factor as of 6^98i>100X. Only a reaction to the second inertia level would be able to conduct a dynamic flow throughout the wavelength particles in question. Of course, this assumes that Euclid notions are in play, as some sort of nonconvetional parameter could also resuscitate any parallel structure could ultimately alter the bio-systemiogology of the present phenomena, disregarding all past hypotheses. Of course, the whole notion is in theory if obstinate relativity circumvents standard conformity of drag, all subject to diameter of the outer shell, gravitational strings provided.

Also, new character is coming up on my end. Has Thomas found out about May's fate yet?

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

About half to a third of that actually makes sense, if we ignore the context of the conversation.
