Yeah can't even get specs from hitting 'my computer > properties'.

How do i get microsoft to judge my arbitrary computer points now!?

why don't most elevators have the floor buttons on the outside?

there's an optimal algorithm for elevators if you have that but NO, better to be vague as hell about it

it's like if you had to order a taxi to "go east" before you could tell them the exact address, like come on

[Sergarr]

Dude, imagine how the button panels would look for a skyscraper.

EDIT: Also, I think most elevators assume that you always want to go to the first floor if you're on any other one.

Dude, imagine how the button panels would look for a skyscraper.

You'd need like a mini-elevator just to access the buttons for the main elevator.
And then you'd need Leonardo DiCaprio to star in it or something.

That being said, most people hail eastbound or westbound taxis, before telling them the address.
I think it's more like a bus stop. East or west-bound bus, get off whenever you want.

In retrospect, running an RTD based on time-travel might have not been such a good idea as I've thought at the time.

I have no idea why I thought it was a good basis for a RTD.

So, I've been binging on KOTOR lately, and I've been noticing a disturbing tendancy in those my-little-detective missions for the people you have to convince to do whatever ignore massive holes in a testimony or the fact that the sith may have been abducting child Selkath and using them to create a puppet government in favour of reasons why they may have done it, that sounds dumb, I know, but one of the situations involve you investigating a murder between two people, I restarted the game over after a couple dumb choices (mostly involving speccing into one handing a laser pistol) and when I was

at the end point in the moider case involving that hunter and basic everyman just 'Going on a stroll!', after the first time which I really enjoyed it, I got to the end of the quest, picked 'Naw tentacle head-bro, both dug that 5-feet grave' It didn't give me an option for the 'yup that hooya hunter was getting cheat out of his money, yo', and I realised I didn't have a choice for 'wait, why did he say there was a sun glare, again? We already mentioned this, it was a cloudy day! That isn't something you just accidentally forget about!'.
And now, with that court trial, even though I already established with the high court that yes, the sith were planning on installing a puppet government and everyone already knew that Taris was wiped off the map because of the sith, they still refused to believe they would kill a single one of their own for failing them?!

I mean, Mr. War hero over here is still guilty as hell, but that doesn't explain why the judges still refused to stay on my side when they found out the medal was planted on the body! Why did the sith even do that! It was totally un-nessecary!

Yeah, that might get a little bit topsy turvey after a bit.

Them moments.  When you find out a particular section of a shop/service closes 2 hours before the time listed on the website.  It was an hour or so drive one way.

Also apparently there is now a season 5 of colorful horses.  Can't find that mlp site anymore to post random rants about it expecting noone to read em or even go there anymore.

windows 8

Yeah. You'd think people would know by now to never buy an even-numbered version of Windows. If hey've recently come put with a good version such as Windows 7 then the next version will be a piece of shit, and vice-versa. And no matter what version 0f Windows ypu're using, ALWAYS download and install the relevant version of "Classic Shell" from sourceforge

Sooo... after watching enough stuff about Cyberbullying.

I have the sneaking suspicion that most people don't even know what Cyberbullying... Is...

I've never really understood how you can have bullying without either physical abuse or some sort of authority over the victim. If somebody's not inflicting material harm than they're more of an "asshole" than a "bully"

[Arx]

...you don't see how emotional bullying can be a problem?

[Zangi]

...

Cause people will get worked up over things other people say. 
People are insecure.  People have problems.  People take negative feedback negatively, especially the personal kind.  Many people use the interwebz as an extension of their own social life.

Cyberbullying is like getting picked on verbally in real life when you are a kid in school.  It is not fun and even if it is not true, it hurts.

Why is everything so damn bright.

What exactly did I do to myself last night?

[Arx]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you got absolutely hammered, possibly by imbibing potato water until you were more potato than anime by percentage, which is truly a testament to the power of potato water.


So I got on the wrong bus. One stop past the point where its route deviated from the right one, I realised and got off the bus. I then waited for twenty minutes to catch a bus back, a distance I could have walked in five minutes. But wait! It gets better. I then caught a bus. The wrong bus. The same wrong bus. Then I walked back. Then the wrong bus went past again (?? they don't even run that often normally). Then I eventually got home.

Then I made a cup of coffee, but forgot I hadn't boiled the kettle. I should just go to bed before I hurt myself.
