I don't understand how people do this Twitter thing.

Where do they find the time. I can spend an entire day on the web and still be overwhelmed by the amount of nonsense people tweet about.


Also, I somehow found myself arguing with (presumably) a Scot, against independence.

I don't even care. How did this happen.

Ummm...
I don't wanna rain on your parade, but what is an MUD and where can I acquire it?

I played one very briefly based on Discworld. I don't do terribly well with the solely text output and I got lost very easily in Ankh Morpork.
The game layout is a bit like "Zork 1" if you've seen that. A description is given and you enter commands to explore like "Move West", "Look", "Use X" etc etc.
I think the attraction to them still is rather the same as with Dwarf Fortress. The simple graphics of the game allows a surprising amount of descriptive and mechanic depth.
They're like early MMOs, as multiple players can connect at once and interact with each other. Monsters are fought turn based style based off stats is such a thing is included.

The discworld MUD (the one that I played the most,) was easily the best on the net. Easily.

How does the website of the national television broadcaster go down and stay down for hours on end? It's not like they don't have the money to hire decent employees.

The Curiosity rover has been going for 2 years.
But I remember it being more recent.

Human perception leaves a lot to be desired.

While working today, I saw a notice above a fire extinguisher that read "In case of appliance fire, use fire extinguisher after primary fire suppression system has been actuated." Actuated. Not activated. This isn't the only misspelling I've recently seen on something it's fairly important to spell right.

Akura, I can´t see your avatar.
Are you sure it´s actuated?
^{but seriously, I think the link is broken or something}

I think "actuated" is correct in this situation, although it's an unusual phrasing.

[Mr. Strange]

Akura has an avatar?

Never seen one, so I'll assume not.

[Lyeos]

It was a Blobfish, wasn't it?

[TamerVirus]

Maybe the lack of an avatar is an avatar itself?

The anti-avatar!
