Just pretty much flunked an exam. I might get a 3.0, if I'm lucky...

I think Helgo is a German, which would means he uses a 1 to 6 scale, with 1 being the best.

Just realized Flux doesn't actually make my screen duller, just changes the flavor.

They should put that in.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Th point is it doesn't have to make it duller because the colours are warmer.

1.0 to 5.0, with 5.0 being failure. I'm at university ;)

Plus I got a 2.7, apparently - the whole thing was shifted. 25 points out of 50 got you a 3.0 :D

Dear person living one floor above me.

Please do not use squeaky chairs for that activity.

Thank you.

I, too, am displeased when my neighbors use squeaky chairs for fire-extinguisher-jousting.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

That was not the activity that came first to my mind.

yeah, people rarely keep fire extinguishers in apartments anymore it's like they don't care about fire safety

i thought it was more an affair of spinning around in such a squeaky chair you don't tend to notice the squeak and then your neighbor is all "please don't"

I was playing Dungeon crawl as a ghoul necromancer the other day and raising up every corpse I could find to be my skeletal servants and eating the leftover flesh, and it was sort of satisfying, but I wish I could do more. I want a game where I can raise up entire hordes and armies of undead and lay waste to entire cities. I want to watch and laugh as the masses of writhing, rotting flesh wash over those pathetic mortals as they try desperately to fight back, and are ultimately consumed as fuel for my unstoppable unholy army. Unfortunately I don't know of a game that will let me do that, so I'll just stick to Crawl and Dungeon Keeper...

DF in a few releases will probably let you do that. You can kind of do that now in Adventure mode as a Necromancer.

Also check out the Solid and Shade mod for Mount and Blade (not Warband).

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Pnx

Today basically everything seems to be going wrong. I accidentally didn't set my alarm on properly, which meant I woke up with absolutely no time to prepare for class, I rushed out the door and had to content with digging my car out of the gigantic pile of snow it had become, then on the way to college I was delayed by a really nasty accident which was taking up all but one lane on the interstate. It looked like a burly pickup truck had T-boned a sedan, with nasty results, though fortunately the guy in the sedan seemed like he was going to be alright, one of the people involved was helping him out of his car as I passed, and there didn't seem to be any blood or anything, though the drivers side of his car looked like a giant hand had smooshed it together.

I discovered that the assignment I was going to do last night but couldn't because the internet cut out as I was doing it is now actually a day late, though I'm hoping that will be forgiven.

Also among other things, my chair is falling apart.
