I haven't broken a bone, despite my common extremely dangerous situations shenanigans.
Which is one of the reasons there's a story going on that I am a lich and you cannot kill me.

Huh. Guys, is kidnapping a lich a good idea? Now you people need to find and destroy the phylactery.

Shoot, now I wanna write a DnD adventure where the heroes meet a (probably friendly) lich named something like Kamaga'a the Third.

And the quest would prominently feature the phylactery.

Do eet! On the Twelfth Bay!

DO IT.

I am pre-emptively reserving a place in the party.

Even if he isn't doing it, I will reserve a spot, despite [Warning: Heresy follows.] never having played DnD.

[Orange Wizard]

Excellent. Now I'll have to see if I can use Remuthra's Ultimate Warrior, or whatever that guy was called.

[Skyrunner]

I was going to write an essay for college why are you making me do a 3 hour prsctice test stahp

[Tawa]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaugh, my dad just told me to go blow my nose, like he does every time he hears something over here that isn't the keyboard, mouse, or breathing.

Man, I wish he'd stop telling me when and how to do that.

Warning. The following contains talk of the worst maniac of all time, ever.
NOTICE: NONE OF THIS INFORMATION IS VERIFIED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Aedel: I read about someone today.
Aedel: Rich guy, good looking, nice car, amazing family
Aedel: Angsty about not having a girlfriend
Aedel: Complained about it all the time
Aedel: Talked about how he was gonna kill all the wimminz for not spotting him and instantly running at him, jumping into the air while ripping their panties off and spreading their legs
Aedel: Lel lel how funny he's a wannabe school shooter because he has no sex let's red on
Aedel: >killed 8 people at a school
KingOfStarrySkies: Where does he live and how fast can I stab him?
Aedel: >killed his two roommates
KingOfStarrySkies: ...
Aedel: >killed his two roomate's friend
KingOfStarrySkies: Nevermind.
Aedel: >killed his younger brother
Aedel: >tried to kill a sorority
Aedel: >had to be gunned down by cops
KingOfStarrySkies: ...
KingOfStarrySkies: So as an answer to my question
KingOfStarrySkies: He lives in a grave
Aedel: Yes
KingOfStarrySkies: What a douche.
Aedel: He wrote a 112 page manifesto before he did it.
Aedel: He made youtube videos about it.
KingOfStarrySkies: Wow.
Aedel: He was a regualar on forums talking about it
KingOfStarrySkies: He is a massive, massive douche.
Aedel: His parents forced him into therapy his entire life
Aedel: His parents called the cops weeks before the shooting
Aedel: "He's perfectly fine'-therapist and cops
KingOfStarrySkies: I almost want to post this entire conversation in the Terrified thread.
Aedel: "I continued searching for a job, but I still wasn't able to find one. I refused all of the jobs that Tony suggested to me. The problem was that most of the jobs that were available to me at the time were jobs I considered to be beneath me. My mother wanted me to get a simple retail job, and the thought of myself doing that was mortifying. It would be completely against my character. I am an intellectual who is destined for greatness. I would never perform a low-class service job"

"How could an inferior, ugly black boy be able to get a white girl and not me? I am beautiful, and I am half white myself. I am descended from British aristocracy. He is descended from slaves. I deserve it more. I tried not to believe his foul worlds, but they were already said, and it was hard to erase from my mind. If this is actually true, if this ugly black filth was able to have sex with a blonde white girl at the age of thirteen while I've had to suffer virginity all my life, then this just proves how ridiculous the female gender is. They would give themselves to this filthy scum, but they reject ME? The injustice"
Aedel: Quote from him
KingOfStarrySkies: Either the terrified thread, or the Rage thred.
KingOfStarrySkies: Make your pick.
KingOfStarrySkies: I have no coins near me.
KingOfStarrySkies: TO RANDOM.ORG
Aedel: http://cwckiforums.com/threads/elliot-rodger-the-perfect-gentleman.3721/
Aedel: At one point, he apparently tried to kill some people by pushing them off a roof into traffic.
Aedel: He got pushed off himself by the people
KingOfStarrySkies: This is the worst maniac
Aedel: Got a broken leg, tried to run away, proceeded to turn back around for revenge, get beat up again
KingOfStarrySkies: Seriously
Aedel: "Despite all of this, I'm sure Elliot is in heaven now. After all, every jihadi gets 72 virgins, and Allah has to make up the numbers somehow..."
Aedel: AHAHA
Aedel: AHAHAHA
Aedel: AHAHHAAA
Aedel: AHAHAHAHAHAH

I have never been so happy about someone dying.

Heh. This company I'm working with has completely fubar'd this thing up.

Feast on this morsel of corporate planning.

Data needs to move from an American server A to a Swedish server B.

How does this company decide to arrange this?

First I have to dump the data from server A. Then the owner had to load the data on to an external hard drive, and drive it to his house with his laptop. Connected to this company's secure network, he had to transfer the file to another server in the US, where a tech person for this company would then transfer it to his laptop. From there, this tech person would transfer it from his laptop directly to server B in Sweden.

Note: this was a 37 gig file before compression. It was going to take like 78 hours or more to move the data everywhere it had to go. (At the time of the initial dump, I had no idea we'd be facing sub-sub 1 megabit connection speeds.) So I had to go back to the data file, trim out as much stuff as they could get away with not having for the business to run, then compress the file using 7Zip. I got it down to about 10 gigs. It was still going to take 17 hours to make the first transfer, at a stunning 235 kb/sec.

That was Friday ~8pm.

This weekend I've gotten a series of emails saying that the secure network continually killed the transfer after 8 or so hours, multiple times. Probably because the guy doing the transfer let his computer go to sleep, which undoubtedly pissed off the network's security client. The data hasn't even made it out of the US at this point.

This company's IT security and structure, along with their retardo plan for moving the data, basically completely killed us. The best part? Their IT lead on their side wouldn't give me direct access to the Sweden server until we basically begged him to. And the reason we did the transfer this way was because he believes his laptop was the only one with a direct connection to the server.....despite the fact I was copy/pasting files directly to the desktop of the Swedish server all last week.

So here I am, Sunday afternoon with about 5 hours sleep, trying to get others who are also enjoying their weekends to come in to work to help me save this business. If this even works, I'll still be working probably right up until 8am Monday morning trying to get this shit ready. And the likelihood of that happening is almost zilch.

Lord love you, big business corporate IT. If I had exercised a little more spine, I would have told these guys their plan was unworkable and tried to do things my way. But since we decided to let them handle the logistics of this......we're all now taking a bite of this shit sandwich.

Some asshole ruined my whiteboard drawing. Fucking jerk.

[Arx]

Don't you love it when an essential part of your body just borks and it becomes impossible to do a simple, yet very useful, action?

In this case, my left eye just decided that it was going to do something that felt like the entire eyeball had been scatched, and it became impossible to look to the left without my eye tearing up and involuntarily closing. Luckily it only lasted about twenty hours, but it's still kind of worrying.

[MaximumZero]

You know, there are these people called doctors...

[Arx]

You know, there are these people called doctors...

...who charge the equivalent of $70 to tell you to buy over-the-counter eyedrops. But I get your point, and I probably would have gone to a doctor if it had stuck around for longer than it did.

Maybe you DID scratch your eye.

That's what I thought, but it's not what it looked like. Alas, no free healthcare here.
