Today I learned that "Homeowner" has the word "meow" in it. Think of this next time you are going to pronounce it and I can almost guarantee you'll do it wrong.

I finally watched WatchMen ( the movie ). I found Dr Manhattan to be a bigger dick than Rorschach thoughout the entire movie. I can recommend the movie though. Primarily for the cool scenes, not for the story.

So today I got up feeling weird. So I just went and took some R'n'R by reading an X-men comic book. And then my calvanistic goggles kicked into overdrive. ALL YOU MUTANTS ARE DICKS ! No, seriously, about 50% of them are straight up evil and the others try to stop them ? kinda ? Or they are just left alone ? Seriously go do something productive, all of you, Jean & Xavier please go force some panda's to reproduce. Magneto and Cyclops go to some sort of power plant for neigh infinite power. Storm go help people around the globe in securing food ( especially Africa ). Ice-Man go build yourself many MANY beautiful statues made of ice on the poles and end global warming or something **sigh** ... don't mind me, I just needed to vent

@zennx an immortal being with build in night vision, echolocation, superhuman speed and agility ? Idunno, just put her in search and rescue when needed. And when not needed I am pretty sure she'd make a very ecology and economy friendly lighthouse.

My mother bought me an English black tea with a cream flavour. There were price tags on it so she mistakenly assumed it was Earl Grey. I tasted it nonetheless and it was one of the most disgusting types of tea I drank. The cream flavor had a hint of vanilla. Furthermore the tea was bitter as hell.... blegh.

Can someone explain to me what is so great about Bob's Burgers ? Because I just do not get it.
Monday, 17-Apr-17 14:04:42 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Personally I enjoy it because the writing does a great job of capturing the subtle nuances of genuine conversation, as if they're real people talking and responding to each other. Also it has some really clever plays on words at times
-
@tiffany It does ? It sounds to me like they are emotionally dulled all the time, except the spooky house episode I saw. Also that one episode where they competed on Family Fracas. But in that episode they just did dumb stuff I would expect out of a "Barney Stinson / How I met Your Mother" rejected-wastebin involving a Judge Judy and finished the episode by having Bob repair the winner's car's tire while his hole family berates him. It effectively makes me seriously dislike the story, the people in the story, and the conversations that occur. ... Am I going about this wrong or something ?

@critialcloudkicker nah I can understand how it's not for everybody

@scribus By noticing that I guess you are the correct person for me to ask you "Do you think it is safe to even make a Facebook account ?". I heard stories of circles of friends breaking up because of that stuff. Combined with the fact that I work in the healthcare sector I never even bothered with Facebook
-
@critialcloudkicker if Facebook is all it takes to break a friendship then it wasn't very solid to begin with, that or Gary needs to stop spamming his friends with Farmville invites...

@critialcloudkicker Safe? Probably, as long as you behave yourself. Worth it? No. If you don't have one by now, you don't need one.

You get to know pretty soon just what the allignment of your friends are if someone asks "where do hamsters live before they go to a pet store" and one of them responds "Just like how there is a site to order comics pretty much instantateous called xmen.com there is a website for prtty much everything you can immagine. xgerbil.now , xchinchilla.net, xmouse.co.uk, xcavia.net , xmurids,gov and xhamster"

@rnbwdashiswin And why did you figure that RDN had perished by now ? Whether through competence or something else, the owner is awesome

Oh, CeruleanSpark. Well that means RDN will probably remain here until the cows come home.

Today in "science with people who know nothing about physics" I was asked just howmany engines that would produce 80 micronewtons of force it would take to lit a bit bulky guy of 102 KGS off the ground, and then howmuch power that would take if every engine ate about 100 Watts a piece ... ... I think I got trolled since the answer is

Looks like future Stardock games may come to Linux thanks to Vulkan. Personally, I'm still a little salty they sold Impulse to GameStop; that place had potential.
https://gs.smuglo.li/url/342026-
@dolus Yeap, too bad Stardock is based in Ann Arbor so there was no way they could keep up with the demand in needed manpower after Stardock exploded somewhere back in 2010. Then again I would rather look towards the future and go "WOO ! Vulkan ! More Linux games !"
-
@critialcloudkicker It's still a maybe at this point... but it does show how much OpenGL was holding Linux back, gaming-wise.

twitch ads are the worst because it forces you to miss like 60 seconds of the stream which is unlike pretty much any other commercial

@critialcloudkicker As I keep saying, I don't expect an ad-free experience

@tiffany I can not find that when I press the in context button. I hope you were not expecting me to know that you were not expecting an ad-free experience.

@critialcloudkicker Dude, many sites have ads, but twitch forces you to stop watching the vid and look at ladies' razor blades for 30s
why not just have an always on silent add on top of the chat, or something like that

I'm watching too many D&D-related videos on Youtube.
Tuesday, 07-Mar-17 15:18:32 UTC from web-
@adiwan Could be worse, you could be watching 2 hour long video's "NASA and Science". I found that thing at 1:36:00 especially interesting ( sort of because I thought I was being fed clickbait by clipboard a few days ago. Turns out that the MMC's just know less science than me. Kinda like that one XKCD comic I can not find on que right now )
How is this related to watching D&D-related video's ? ... Well unlike me, you might actually put to use the knowledge attained. Me ? I am probably not going to launch an enormous electromagnetic field generator to station itself in the Martian orbit around the sun to drag Mars through it's magnetotrail. Whereas the chance of you slaughtering Owlbears is almost all but absolute at this point. https://livestream.com/viewnow/vision2050/videos/150701155 -
@critialcloudkicker I'm trying really hard to remember if I had encountered an Owlbear in the current campaign. Our characters are level 9. Last campaign we had a race with owlbears in front of the carriages. It was a one-shot side quest with low-level characters that our characters hired just to try and test the 5th edition rules. It's kinda sad that I can't think of any encounters from this campaign because it's one of my most favourite monsters. The search function of our wiki doesn't result any entry with owlbears.

@critialcloudkicker This is beautiful
-
@adiwan I guess in some very sadistic kinda way it could be, yes. Do I fear this will be the end of Nintendo as a hardware business ? probably. But bundle that with words about Nintendo putting copyright strikes/claims on Youtuber video's which bring these problems to light & the fact that if the end user has dead pixels the headlines of news outlets scream that it is the users problem ( such as the guardian ). Well yeah, now the answer to the question "Do I fear this will be the end of Nintendo as a hardware business ?" becomes indubitably.

@mushi Probably, Idunno. And I am pretty sure you'd be able to just buy myself anti-nailbiting polish that contains denatonium benzoate to get a similar experience and save myself an enormous pile of cash. Probably not as much as the people in Brazil though.

@adiwan Are there any non 32 gb versions even ?

@critialcloudkicker A new 8GB WiiU is barely cheaper than a 32GB WiiU. A used one is significantly cheaper at about 190€ but that's not in my price range for a used device.
