    Can't you set it so that it locks itself whenever you leave it unattended for more than x number of minutes?

    Oh, wait, school network, right?

    ^ The problem is he'd have to set it for 0 minutes, since his friends are presumably standing by waiting to pounce as soon as he leaves...
  • Yes, I can, but I forgot. The fact that no one was putting up gay porn on my computer every time I got out of my seat lulled me into a false sense of security.

    You know, when my dad woke me up to tell me the tree fell over

    He was so panicked that I literally thought he was going to tell me the house was on fire

    Don't wake a person up in a panic if all you need them to do is hold a Christmas tree while you adjust the stand

    pine needles everywhere

    Indeed. It's like an entire Christmas's worth of needles on the floor at once.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    And you'll still be feeling them under the soles of your feet by next Thanksgiving.
  • No.


    Pine Needles Are Forever.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Waaa Waaa Waaaa
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    But is that due to their being replenished every year, or is it the case that they stick around and gradually accumulate?  Given a sufficient length of time, will you be left with a floor covering that consists entirely of pine needles?

    In theory, maybe, but in practice it would likely turn into a floor covering made of ashes and caution tape.

    You know

    I prefer to write dates in the form "17 December 2012" rather than "December 17, 2012"

    But I'm not sure why

    Because it's a hierarchical chain, indicative of your privileging of arborescent structures of thought.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I prefer YYYYMMDD myself, since that's how a lot of Unix timestamps (the ones that aren't ISO 8611, anyway) work.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    So it'd be 2012/12/17?

    Now it's a top-down hierarchy that prioritizes the higher numeric value.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Over here we'd usually say "the 17th of December, 2012" if we were writing it out in full.

    Wordiness.

    If I'm doing something where I need to sort things by date, I'll go for the 2012/12/17 format, because then it just becomes a matter of sorting them numerically.

    If I'm writing a standalone date, like at the top of an assignment or something, I prefer 17 December 2012.

    For the timestamps on my blog I went with 17 Dec 12, because having the month spelled out looked weirdly formal for such a casual blog.

    Americans, generally, would write it as "December 17, 2012" and pronounce it as "December 17th, 2012".

    One weird little detail I remember about jury duty: When the judge read the not guilty verdict, she read the date as "September 20th, 2012", then pointed out to the court reporter that it was actually written as "9-20-12".
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    DD/MM/YYYY is what I default to unless required to spell it out in full.

    Even knowing the different ways of writing the date, I still do a double take when I see it written MM/DD/YYYY where DD > 12 (meaning, now that I think about it, that I presumably misread dates where DD ≤ 12 all the time).
  • haha i also do that
  • i hope /a/ can enlighten me on some aspects of the movie

    Apropos of nothing: I just decided what Christmas avatar I'm going to use.

    But I think I'll stick with Kankri for the time being.

    That's part of why I chose my blog's timestamps with an abbreviation of the month instead of the number: because "11/12/13" is ambiguous but "12 Nov 2013" is not.

    I prefer DD/MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY because it makes more sense, but I have to use the latter a lot anyway because it's what Americans expect.

    One last thing: I've found that 31 December 1999 is a good example to use when discussing date formats.

    Because 31 is unambiguously a date, 99 is unambiguously a year, and so 12 is obviously a month.

    Papa, your enthusiasm for photography makes the library smell like rotted fruit. And I'm certain those solutions are toxic!

    With gas laid on, Alice, we'll go to Brighton on what we save on beewax candles and oil.

    Why do you think they would be an issue with you moving to the UK?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Really, Ace, anyone would think you wanted the immigrants to take our jobs.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    It's funny because I implied there are jobs to be had here.

    Now I'm here

    I dunno, this place has become such a snarkville I'm a bit uncomfortable with it.

    Wait, shit, I'm doing it.  I'll dial it back.

    I'm not sure how to answer this, since the original post wasn't very well thought-out, but basically I worry I'd be seen as trying to "freeload", so to speak. (Even though I would of course get a job and pay taxes.)

    Given Eva's reputation as "ANGST ANGST ANGST" I don't really want to see it either.

    I really think you should at least give the whole series a try. It's at least worth one watch through.
