Against my good sense I decided to install kde via "kubuntu-desktop", given that I seemed to be unable to find any independent package. Now it turns out there's no easy way to uninstall it, given that every hint and trick I've found on the web seems to fail to remove all the clutterfuck.

This is why I hate all these "(enviro)buntu-desktop" packages. They install loads of shit that is nigh-impossible to remove afterwards. grr.

Tortoisegit messed up merging, github has no merge function. I deleted my repo on github, killed the process to delete the folder on my computer and made a new repo. Aaargh!

SO MUCH FOR TRUCKING TODAY
Spent the entire day at the terminal only to find out that my trainer's vehicle won't be ready until tomorrow morning. Maybe.
Back at this hotel that blocks YouTube for no adequately explained reason. I want to get on the road, dammit!

github has no merge function

... yes, yes it does. Although it does require there to be no conflicts, admittedly.

Kinda POed because somebody (who shall remain nameless) is insisting that gnolls in my new campaign setting shouldn't be called gnolls because they don't hew to the cliche that's been established. It's annoying, really.

If this were most other mythical races, it'd be more reasonable to hear this. But gnolls? Gnolls hang out with the trolls, goblins, ogres, and kobolds in that you don't know WHAT you're gonna get.

Whenever you give a cross-street, a building floor, and a meeting time, you're handing someone a 4D coordinate in space-time.

I really hate that I have friends who think this is retweet-worthy.

[Descan]

"Dude, he said 4D computers in space and time! Or something... So smart. Gotta let everyone know, man."

[Pnx]

I suppose... though it's a very vague coordinate. I mean it's not like the building is going to be positioned ontop of the crossing, and you don't say what room in the building, unless the meeting is supposed to take place in the air over the street, in which case you are in Harry Potter, and I don't think the laws of "4 dimension space and time" really apply in this context.

[Skyrunner]

That remind me, I hate it when I say the axis of the forth dimension is at right angles tothe other three axises and everyone's like, "No, the forth dimension is tiiiime~~" >_>
I meant the forth physical dimension D:(

[Descan]

Go forth, my dimensions! Go forth and multiply!

(It's fourth, Sky, when talking about the number. <3)

[Sirus]

At the risk of sounding (even more) like an idiot, what is the fourth dimension if not time? The three dimensions of space I know of are length, width, and (closest word I can think of at the moment) depth. If there's a fourth, I don't know what it is.

[Vector]

It's a math thing, mostly.

Why not have a 4th spatial dimension?  Or an nth?

[Descan]

Look up hypercubes and tesseracts. There are a bunch of fascinating videos on youtube about the fourth (spacial) dimension as well. A keyword to look for would be Flatland~

Here's a cutesy one.

And another, less cutesy! Longer, in fact.
