Nah computer is all like no worries bro.  I can do this half asleep with my eyes closed while still running idle processes.

It's when you create a complex virtual 3 dimensional space and then tell it to stick one of those pictures on hundreds or thousands of individual planes, most of which must be fed through convoluted math problems to be skewed in such a way as to simulate being viewed at an angle.  All while handling code that it is being fed about a bullet's trajectory and calculating a number of parabolic arcs.

Then it may piss itself in terror.
(Though I suppose in this case it's usually more like a couple computers with one handling the pictures and sometimes some physics, while another is handling the code.)

Can I sig this? Pwetty pwease?

I've just had a realization. My most interesting class this semester is a comp pol course in which the professor spends virtually every minute discussing our topics with metaphors involving football, American football, and rugby. My second most interesting is a course on issues within the global economy, which is taught straight from the book (Even the powerpoint slides were made by the author of the book). I suppose I may have set myself up for boredom, even if I didn't consciously realize it at the time.

With how many courses do you start o.O?

Only five, being lazy because of required "volunteer" hours eating up a bunch of time.

[Dutchling]

I don't think I've had more than three simultaneous courses yet.

[Flying Dice]

Whaaa... Are you part-timing your university while working, or is the system over there just different? 12 hours per semester (4 courses) is the minimum for full-time students, at least at my university, and to my knowledge it's more or less the same everywhere in the U.S.

[Dutchling]

I study full-time. This week for instance consists 13h Animalphysiology, 8h Plantphysiology, and 9h Biophysics. Do you have like 2 or 3 hours per course per week or what?

[Flying Dice]

Ah, that'd be it, then. Yes, standard course time is 3h/week, with each running the same schedule every week, barring some of the science courses with an extra hour of lab practicals.

And...  I still haven't stopped feeling weird whenever I see one of you guys on other parts of the internet.

[Parsely]

My brain had a sudden gender confusion moment where, for some reason, it thought I was a woman and lesbian.

What the hell? How'd that happen?

It only lasted a few seconds, but what the utter shit, brain?

Uh what? I don't understand explain for me.

[Frumple]

... for a short period, GO wished he were [sic] a lesbian. That's all there really is to it.

Oh god, it is.

And the guy on the right kind of looks like Sylvester Stallone.

You know, I went through at least 3 alphas and a beta build of xenonauts without noticing that. I'm sorta surprised now.
