  • What kind of physics are you taking?

    Are you a science major? I remember you talking about working in a lab once.
  • Listening to an Eligh album for the first time. 2010's The Grey Crow. I liked "Stuck with You" well enough so I figured I'd give the whole album a try.
  • 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."
    Yep, I'm a biology major. I'm taking a general physics class.
  • Ahh okay.

    I'm going to take a shower. I smell like a shoe.
  • This guy also goes by Gandalf.

    Personally

    I don't see the resemblance.

  • And now I smell good

    Whee. Spent most of the day resting because I stayed home sick...go me?

    I used to think Penny's computer book was really cool.

    ...now I don't care. Odd.

    Probably because that kinda stuff is commonplace in real life now.

  • MUI - Men’s Underwear Index


    Men, look no further than your
    underwear drawer. It may sound trivial, but some economists say that
    isn’t so. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was a
    subscriber of this theory: He said that since so few people ever see
    men’s underwear, this is the first item that men stop buying when the
    economy is tight. As of August, men’s underwear sales increased 7.9
    percent over last year at the same time, according to marketing research
    firm NPD Group. By this measure, at least, we’re headed in the right
    direction.

    they haven't announced a premiere date yet

    You know, I find it interesting that the UK uses red circles to denote speed limits in miles per hour.

    It's just an interesting contrast, because in the US we only put speed limits in circles when we're specifically denoting metric speed limits (which are still relatively rare).

    I'm juggling six tabs, not including this one, while trying to finish up this paper for one of my classes.

    Anonus: That's not the problem. I've actually been able to focus pretty well for the most part, and I don't have much left to go.

    It's that I've got three articles on a database, a citation guide, and a list of scientific journal abbreviations open, and it gets a little annoying to search for the right tab.

    Oh. I should have asked first, then.

    ...you know what would be nice? A color-coding feature for tabs, if they don't have easily-distinguishable favicons.
  • There's an add-on for Firefox creatively called ColorfulTabs that does that.

    ^^ Internet Explorer has something kinda like that built in, but it's not very useful because...well, each tab has the same color as the tab you opened it from. So unless you actually hit the "New Tab" button instead of just opening links in new tabs, you end up with a bunch of the same color.
  • I tried using internet explorer for a while, I was amazed with how shitty it was.
  • ah, people being offended by copypastas on Youtube. Fun times.

    also

    the things I get myself involved in.

  • I used IE forever until it stopped working on my old desktop. Once I started using Firefox, I realized how shit Internet Explorer was.
  • Absolutely Fucking Any Browser > Netscape Navigator

    The thing about Internet Explorer...Microsoft's intent wasn't to build a quality product. Microsoft's intent was to bring down Netscape and capture its market share, something they accomplished primarily by bundling IE with Windows, which was and is the dominant operating system.

    But once IE became the dominant web browser, MS kinda rested on their laurels and left the software to rot, with a 5-year (I think) gap between the infamous IE6 and the slightly-improved IE7. In the mean time, Mozilla and others were coming along with all sorts of actual innovations (tabbed browsing! PNG images that work properly! not being a mess of security holes!), so when MS finally did get off their asses and start working on IE again, well, they still really can't keep up.

    HI IMIPOLEX

    got any amusing anecdotes from the workplace
  • I have a sudden urge to memorize chemistry pick up lines and shout them from the supply window at people if/when I get to work during lab again.

    I'm sure this type of behavior will both allow me to maintain my position and get me some kind of salary raise.
  • Thinking of buying a new iPhone 5 after it gets announced later today?
    Don't. Owning it will mark you out as an easily-led simpleton - and
    worse, the purchase will undermine western democracy.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Amusing anecdote from the workplace: it felt like precious minutes of my life were being tortured to death as I stride ever more quickly toward the grave.

    Hi Imi.

    Strange. I prefer Mac OS to Windows but not iOS to Android...my only problem with Android is that there is no Android version of the Font Game...
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I haven't played with iOS very much, but from what little I have seen of it I think I like Android better.

    My only real complaint about Android is that its interface varies so widely between devices...it seems like every manufacturer goes and adds their own UI modifications, which is annoying because the normal Google version is fine. >:(

    I've heard pretty good things about Android too. If I ever have the chance to get a smartphone, that's what I'd lean towards. Though to be perfectly honest, I don't know too much about smartphone OSes.

    Anyhow, I'm ready for bed. Good night.
  • Sometimes I wonder if all the people I talk to on the internet really exist.
  • I for one am a supercomputer designed by Evil Satanica Incorporated for the express purpose of corrupting youth into homosexual perversion.

    Didn't work on me

    Anonus got me thinking about this, so I decided to make some mock-ups:

    ...I wasn't sure whether or not I should change the exit numbers. They're based on miles, after all...
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Honestly, for distances under a km, I'd just go for straight meters. If nothing else, people will recognize the distances from the Olympics...

    Hmm...that might make more sense. Let me try it that way...
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    It's UNAMERICAN
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I decided to round all the distances to two significant figures, which admittedly is kinda arbitrary, but round numbers like "800m" look better on the signs, I think.

    image

    I tried metric exit numbers for this one, based on the distances listed here, but I'm not sure I like it...there ought to at least be something to the effect of "old exit 110B", don't you think?
