    part of me thinks "that sounds a bit dangerous" but the 12-year-old in me is screaming "THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL"

    (for our two or three regular posters who aren't from the US: that's roughly 140 km/h)
  • I wish I had more room on my dorm shelves. Then I could bring more books from home. To shows off, read and save from being given away by mother.

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

    My favorite part is that people remembered that Ronald Reagan was an actor.

    My mom would never have given away my books, because she knows I would never forgive her for that.

    Never.

    Imipolex! Hi Imipolex!

    I ordered a copy of Gravity's Rainbow!

    ^^Indeed.

    ^Great! DO NOT let your mom give it away.

    Hi Imi.

    Is it strange that the 12-year-old in CA screaming "THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL" made me think of the ONN report where lawmakers decided that the death penalty was fucking badass?

    My parents have tried to give away my books when I wasn't looking because they thought that I wouldn't notice, and then I'd have more space for new books to read that I would actually read.

    At first, I was upset, but when they explained that they were donating them to the library and demonstrated documentation of such, I was okay with it.  I can still get to those books, and other people can enjoy them. 

    I guess it's not really giving away books if you can still find the exact copy of the book you held in your hands at the library.

    I have made it clear that there are some books they should absolutely not give away, though.  Like any book in a box.  If I want to keep a book, I put it back in a box when I'm done with it.  Saves space and allows me to find the books I want.

    It occurs to me that every rendering I've seen of the Periodic Table of the Elements either (a) is butt-ugly, (b) omits basic information like the full names of each element, or (c) both.

    Au and I should collaborate to make a not-ugly version that includes all the information we'd want (atomic number, symbol, name, atomic mass).

    ...that doesn't sound bad to me!

    What typeface would be suited to the periodic table, you think?


  • My mom would never have given away my books, because she knows I would never forgive her for that.

    Never.

    I don't mind she gave some away since we live in tiny apartments with little room and she gave them to libraries.

    However, she only kept the ones she wanted to keep and not necessarily the ones I wanted to keep.

    Oh well. I have a stock pile in my room and told her specifically if she went on a binge again those I wanted to keep.

    ^^Power of suggestion tells me Gotham, though other considerations wouldn't really hurt...

    ...Power of suggestion from what, exactly?

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    For what it's worth, most of the periodic tables I've seen use sans serif typefaces. I've seen a couple with serif typefaces, and they looked decently visually appealing to me. But then I'm not the best person to ask about this.

    Use Gaudy Old Font.

    Also, I just learned that Sonichu is written entirely in Comic Sans.  This is not without significance and meaning.

    I have four here in front of me (yes, I'm sitting around comparing them).

    Two are in Helvetica, one is in Arial, and one appears to be in Century Schoolbook(!). The latter commits the sin of compressing the type wherever the element name is too long (for instance, "Californium".) It also has the text in Helium's square printed a different color, but doesn't provide any key as to what this denotes.

    This Helvetica one looks okay, but it omits the names of the elements. I fully admit that I'm a bad nerd, in that I haven't committed all the symbols to memory yet, so that's not very useful to me.

    The other Helvetica one is kind of a mess--it has horizontal lines between every piece of information in a square, so they just kinda end up running together. I might scan it later so you can see what I'm talking about.

    The Arial one is probably the best, but (a) it's in Arial and (b) it's completely in black-and-white, so I still think it could be improved upon.

    Goudy Old Style is appealing but its personality is perhaps a bit overbearing for what I'm looking for.

    That periodic table of MLP:FIM characters, CA, remember?

    Ugh, I forgot to fix my DVR timer after the cable service was restored and now I've missed the first minute of Doctor Who
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Aww. :/

    I can't watch it right now, I got back from a walk and don't want anything to distract me from part of the driving pre-test. Even if it is DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP.

    Heh, I figured that joke had been done enough times that it wasn't worth acknowledging.

    You know, sometimes I call him "Au" just because I find that particular combination of letters more visually appealing than "AU" or "au"...

    Now, my evil plan to Kidnap Boney is nearly complete!

    With the power of his mighty Gnaw, I shall rule all of Tropia!

    And there's nothing Imipolex, Tre, Jz, Az, Au, and Ca, can do to stop me!

    None of your fancy last-minute heroics will spoil my brilliant plan!

    -pulls the switch-

    i'm having a derp moment, because I can't figure out who "Az" refers to

    Wait, Arizona's on my side, right?

    Right, Arizona?

    I lived in Arizona. Shithole.

    Aliroz: Go ahead, have a shot at Tropia. The government here sucks, we could use a change.

    It's a pretty shithole though.

  • I went there once as a kid. I don't really remember much, but I got a t-shirt with a lizard and the name of the state on it.

    So I had the idea of making some kind of Tumblr thing where I roleplay as a ghost who tells other people to "check your life privilege", but I worry about sending the wrong message. I'm afraid people would think I'm making fun of social justice activism as a whole instead of just bad/obnoxious bloggers.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I've never been to Arizona, but I doubt I could actually live there with their government as crazy as it is right now. They make Virginia look navy blue by comparison, and Virginia is very much a swing state...

    So. Katawa Shoujo. I'm playing it (adult content turned off, of course).

    ...they did a surprisingly good job with making the protagonist feel like a real character.
