  1. @celestiaforequestria You can print piles of inkjet stuff at your friends' houses and their parents will think that their ink is dried-up and needs replacing, anyway. Getting those copies out into the world is the priority. Inkjet is just over-priced and slow and more like crayons where pencils and laser printers use cheap toner and are rarely color, but they are very fast and very sharp detail. You will never see a problem with a Jpeg until you edit it and try to save it as a Jpeg. The cheap cameras actually do the compression, so that disliking the blocky artifacts of Jpegs is like saying that Rarity's choice for your outfit needs to be about 20% cooler. There is no such thing. The Joint Photographic Engineers' Group got tired of us sending so many details over the wire and showed us how to abbreviate. I forgot something, but it is going to have to wait. I am really going, now.

  3. @celestiaforequestria Rubber mats. The backing can be done with poster board or whatever, but the money in the matting is big, seamless rectangles of mat like you would use in the floorboard in the auto. It is all about appearances, though. It serves no actual purpose besides looking pretty and hiding the wall-safe, so you could make it from snot and match-sticks if you make it artsy enough... And treat the customer like they are morons, and they will treat you like an equal.

  4. @hoit21 Ehnnnanother thing that took a few days before I felt like I was being stupid, here. RDN is the correct abbreviation, and people love throwing that /b/ in there, but Rainbow is only one word... and now, you know.

  5. @celestiaforequestria Charting the photons is photography. Yes. That is cool, modern still life, though it seems to move. GIFs are like the crappy print in the newspaper and on cereal boxes where you can see the individual dots. Inkjet printers aren't too much better, but lasers are awesome. Jpegs are really scratchy when you look really close, but they are not bad, but they are only cool if you have a $20 spy-camera like or a $60 camcorder for your keychain or a builtin camera on your Teddy and your laptop that you get an app for and use like a mirror. K. Everything is broken-up and dances with the Doors in my head. I have to go. Thank you for dazzling me with your pretty blinken lights, though.

  6. @dezzierose Thank you again. I am starting to get into this thing, too. Leave my little minutes aloOoOoOone!

  7. @pachipie Asian joke. The Kia Rio gets 40+ mpg no matter what you are using it for. You can get a new car for under $10k... and they are *so* cute. Tiawan has those Weather Girls and NMA.tv (with recently a nod with decency to the FIM fans). The Latinos nuked the UK, then the Germans started pushing the Russians back and curbed our notions of superiority, so we nuked their friends' moms' houses, which were made of Tsunami-proof paper. We started literally spamming our allies (to help them like we help the poor people without medicine by giving them disease-ridden blankets even in the tropics). So, the honorable Asian Islanders turn over control of the government but take back the design of the machine. They give us crotch rockets and microchips and humble us with our speaking without being spoken to. They work all of this out online with anonymity and crazy glyphs, and they give you Anime and 4chan, so that you can figure it out All By Myself! Pushing little children with their fully a

  8. @dezzierose Thank you. I will learn more about that, now. I had gotten hung up with wanting to know and not wanting to become too enthralled. I guess that Portal and/or Portal II are kind of cool like Doom and Castle Wolfenstein and all? I know that all of those video can't be lumped in with the purveyors of the myth that fantasy is fun and wasting time watching television is more than just wasting time watching television. I started with Vice City and moved to San Andreas and become the first gasta brony. Come at me, /b/.

  9. @derpy The stork drops monkey babies and nobody cares where they land, but in Equestria, they need to be more careful. Mix a horse and a donkey and you get a mule. They are always male as far as at the same time being "fixed" at birth so as to not compete for the affection of princesses. Zebras are a sort of a donkey. Foxes are like cats. Raccoons are like pigs. Possums are Canadian kangaroos. Zebras don't spend much time with ponies, but they each have to be careful that the alligators and crocodiles eat lions and tigers and bears and yellow jackets and wasps, oh my. Baby ponies are presented to their educational system before being left on the stoop of their drunkard parents for five years to see if they are even worth learning anything. Knowledge comes from that moment between when the piano falls toward you from outer-space and something inside tells you to stop and smell the flowers. If the blank-flanks didn't know what they are doing, how do they go on to do what they do?

  10. @mrn4rmn4rm What about the famous car chase with the white Blazer in California and the girl that got her show canceled for being with a football star (and detective from Police Squad and Spy Hard) and a loving hubby and his pool boy at the same time? Where did the knife go? Was there a knife at all? Can a herd of Rodney King beaters take one, single fresh princess from Belle Aire?

  11. @redenchilada Thank you for reminding me. Don't we have a Lyra? I think that you should be our Lyratic ambassador to the Others, but that is just the alcohol and angst talking. Flip a coin. When everyone looks up, smash their chins. Point out that Prime_2 has the wrong Hasbro toy in mind and Mima can't play an instrument, but when she sings, guys like looking at her jugs.

  12. Clockwork Orange? OJ Simpson.

  13. @derpy Have you thought about writing some of this down and putting together a clockwork pony to answer the ponies that won't get the answer, anyway? I mean, you have a real talent, there, but it seems to be manely wasted on patiently letting all of these morons see in their own time. Strike while the nail is hot. Drop a piano on them and charge them to listen to the bells in their heads?

  15. @fnordly Real or malarky? There are Alcoholics and Anonymous and Anonymous Alcoholics and Alcoholics Anonymous and Lulzsec and before we had beer we had nothing. After we figured out how to make beer, we organized and built pyramids in the desert. Any questions?

  17. @ponybis Apparently, there are a few users here that think that they are getting paid to advertise for Disney. Again, do *not* seek the treasure. The *cake* is a *lie*. Avoid the party van. Break the system, we will get you a new one if you can help us with our *theft* *insurance* and our Canadians.

  18. @ponybis Go to bed. When you wake up, consider selling our "higher" education to the Canadians for money for smoke.

  19. @pinhooves Do... Do see Doctor Who. It has been around for longer than Tracy Ulman. I only got to see the fifth and the first half of the sixth and final season and the 11th Doctor (?), but I look forward to going back and seeing what the kind freak with the scarf and the Jelly Bellies was doing back when my folks were thinking about having a kid rather than the revolution of the sixties or whatever.

  20. @fnordly notes that there is the big G, and then there is the little g. When you are pressed back into your kitty seat and the car goes zoom-zoom, you may measure that exciting feeling in gees. You would say that that plane exerted 3Gs on you, for example, but that is the little G. It is a number of times like what you are stuck to this piece of dirt that you call home. The big G is hard to understand. It is the special number that you have to take into consideration with astronomical calculations. The earth and the moon are drawn together, as there is nothing to stop them from being together. You can measure the force by considering the mass of one times the mass of the other divided by the square of the distance between the two. Of course, you have to convert it to metrics for the Canadians that can't read English, as the concision of Samuel L Jackson would imply import. So, we have the big G to multiply in to that equation. Rarity is the one that controls how much of that G we get.

  21. @abigpony, @fnordly has withdrawn his pointy stick. He now has a Twenty-Three pound Sledge Hammer! (more Canadian stereo-types) which he likes to lovingly refer to as Gravity. So, you see, this stocky, studly pink grapesy-cat looking-like pony has gravity on his side. Now, what did you say about his Queen?

  22. @hoit21 Thanks for volunteering to take one for the team. Just be careful to leave Rarity aloOoOoOoOone.

  23. @pinhooves democracy and the UN and the French gives kids an idea of what Canadians are like. Should we buy our Corvettes and Viagra from Canada or Mexico, or should we wait until Brazil shows us the way?

  24. @pinhooves It is just like System of a Down (Tool). They released an EP called Steal This Album then "sold-out" to Fuxony then became defunct. Whatever. Have you ever tried to make friends at thepiratebay.org or Bittorrent? I like OneSwarm. It is like Bittorrent and Google+ for Aussies and Kiwis and UK's Russians and PLO and Germans and Zionists and Canihazacanadians and the noble buffalo pie and caucasian Mexicans and Brazilians alike.

  28. @chaosmagic I do not understand the question, but I am sure that you can find the answer at the Dawn of Equestria at Equestriandawn.blogspot.com or whatever.
