Nothing sums up my response to that concentration of snark better than one of Putnam's own avatars.

I think you need to write it like this:
~<3 LOVE <3~

That way it's fabulous

So I was playing Breaking Point (tl;dr a DayZ submod transitioned onto ArmA 3) on my Survivalist on New Haven. I'd gone out to the island on the east of the map, nearly starving on the way (a fucking 25 minute swim), but lucked out. Up in the military base on the plateau, I geared up nearly completely. Rangefinger, GPS, Survival pack, the works. I had an M4 Blackout Bayonet in my rucksack and a newly looted DMR in my hands, with seven mags for the latter, including two of the high-velocity 30rd ones. I'd not quite gotten all the mats I needed to set up storage yet, though.

I hear footsteps downstairs and switch the DMR over to full auto. A fucking None class (the class with no progression, completely disassociated from the class system the mod has going on, intended for people who're just on to dick around and learn) pops around the corner I'm waiting on without peeking -- the server I play on is 1st person-locked. By the time he saw me I'd put half of a twenty-round DMR mag into center mass, walking it up to his head.

The fucker still managed to dome me with his rusty M4A3 when he should bloody well have been dead already. We died at the same time, and he ragequit about ten seconds later, leaving me down 100 points and a full set of gear, something like four hours of time down the drain when I was maybe an hour away from setting up storage to protect against random shit like that (unfortunately I don't know anyone else and thus can't set up a crew, since 95% of players are still, as is DayZ tradition, KoSing retards). By the by, this was the only 1st-person-only New Haven server I could find with decent ping, and there were six gorram people on at the time, including me. And I'd been periodically scoping out the channel for other swimmers, so pretty much the only way the bugger could have got onto the island was if he was server-hopping to loot farm.

Forget fucking League, ArmA mods make me rage like nothing else. At least BP has a couple servers that disable 3rd person camera, I suppose. This is worse than that time I was robbing the bank on Altis life, got the drop on a cop, and had him turn around and kill me after I put a full pistol mag into the back of his head. :|

Reminds me of Robbaz's Altis video. He becomes a carjacker and steals a police truck before proceeding to send it to the chop shop. From the looks of things, his friends then busted him out of jail. Sorta. He came across a bug which allowed him to slowly float up the prison wall and his friends seemed to arrive about then.

On an incidental note, if you're looking for one of the best ArmA videos ever made. I've got to admit, I like that guy a lot more when he's not being a condescending prick to everyone in Chernarus.

The soonest I can see a doctor for my foot, short of an emergency room visit (yeah, right) is Monday. Which means 4 more days of potential pain to look forward to :/

[Spehss _]

I forgot how much listening to my roommates play Madden made me want to gouge my eyes out. Especially when it's one in the morning and one of them is being an obnoxious little shit who feels the need to scream when he's losing. I don't know how he has friends. Or a girlfriend. Or anyone. I really don't.

I do that. I just generally don't do it at 1 in the morning, or when anyone is in the apartment.

Health problems, Sirus?

Spent a couple hours putting together a parts list for a potential customer, and I left the list at home today like a big doof.

And here's my take, "Your model is inherently flawed."

I think you greatly misunderstand mathematics as a discipline. Pure mathematics is about truth, not reality. Mathematicians spend all the time just making up logical statements, then checking whether they are true or not. Usually what they do is invent some rules (sometimes inspired by reality, many times not), then see what these rules actually do, and whether they can find some neat properties of the system governed by the rules. Then they look at the rules themselves and change or add or remove some of them, then see if there are any new interesting properties and whether the old properties still hold. In this case the logical statements they get are of the form "If such and such thing satisfies this rule and that rule and this other rule, then this interesting property holds".

Now it happens all the time that these mathematical statements or models are actually useful to describe some parts of reality, but mathematicians usually didn't think of those uses when creating the model. There is actually a field of science which attempts to model reality as closely as possible mathematically, but that's called physics. Mathematics couldn't care less about reality.

Obnoxious indeed, heh.
