    Chrome has just informed me that a list of people's usernames in Courier New is somehow Latvian, and I should try and translate it. You know what? I'll do just that. I want to see what happens.

    Latvian, eh?

    Huh.

    Ooh, I'm getting close to level 16.
  • Obviously it's not Latvian, it's Latverian no wait that's stupid.

    What happened was that the spacing and line breaks got all messed up, and apparently "Lv" is Latvian for "EN." Sure, whatever you say, Google Translate.

    Also, every other word in my post became capitalized for some reason.

    The internet has filled me with so much wonder, joy, pain, and derp, today.

    Somehow it's weird to me that there's a community of people who deal in traffic lights as a hobby. As in, buying old signals, wiring them up, and then installing circuitry to make them cycle through a G-Y-R phase as if they were operational.

    ...Why do I of all people find this strange?

    I just found...well everypony knows what I just found.

    "Traffic lights" seems pretty pedestrian now (no pun intended).

    Heh heh, I found that a few days ago but didn't say anything about it because I sure as hell wasn't going to be the first one to mention it here.

    FUCK YEAH! HOLDING ON TO MY REPUTATION OF DUMPING WEIRD SHIT ON THE HEAP.

    I don't think there's anything I can say about that that hasn't already been said by someone else. Not even a short interjection like "My goodness."

    Anyhow, I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow.

    Anyhow, some of the entries on the Mary Sue page on Know Your Meme are funny, and some of them are pretty dumb.

    You needed to know this.

    Also, I just like the term "mary sue" over having to change it to "marty stu" ot what-have-you if I'm talking about a male character.

    It's not like this confuses people as to the gender of the character.

    whatshername and whatshisname are apparently words by Google Chrome standards.

  • (I work in a Coffee Shop. I was on break in the lobby when a couple walks in. Directly behind them is a cute little boy in Batman costume.)

    Me: “Oh my God! It’s BATMAN!”

    (The boy stops, strikes a pose and starts looking around menacingly. After a few seconds, he approaches the counter.)

    Mother: “Jeff, would you like a chocolate milk?”

    Boy: “I am not Jeff. I am The Batman.”

    Mother: “The Batman, would you like a chocolate milk?”

    Boy: “Yes. Yes, The Batman would.”

    (The couple pays while the boy sits down with his chocolate milk. He keeps a stern look on his face as he sips the drink.)

    Boy: *sips* “Gotham is safe.”

    CA: If there's terminals on that thing to let you run a remote switch, that'd be the easiest thing; otherwise, you'd have to desolder and remove the DIP switch block and run new wires from there. Kind of a pain, but not too difficult for someone who knows how to solder. 

    Also, that Mary Sue guy being discussed a few pages back? About the only way he could be more of a Sue is if he was being portrayed by Strong Bad. :lol: That and the original Mary Sue, as I understand it, wasn't actually an example; she was actually an an example of Her Codename Was Mary Sue that ended up codifying the trope it was parodying.

    I should probably learn to solder at some point. I've been wanting to for years now, but I've never done anything that required it...

    ...I should practice on something worthless first, though. I know Mother would be pissed if she dropped $50 on a traffic light sequencer and then I fucked it up trying to yank switches off of it.

    I love how Heapbooru's "shitjusticedoeswhenlefttohisowndevices" tag has more than one entry.
  • (A well-dressed woman enters the store and hands me a note.)

    Customer: “Could you get this order ready for me, please? I’ll be back in ten minutes.”

    (I look at the note, but it’s blank.)

    Me: “There is nothing written on this note.”

    Customer: “Well, I decided to surprise myself today with my purchases.”

    Me: “Okay…that’s new, but I’ll see what I can do!”

    (Ten minutes later, she returns.)

    Customer: “So, what did I buy today?”

    Me: *hands her a bag* “Three pounds of bread crust to feed the ducks in the park. They are free of charge.”

    Customer: *surprised* “Oh! I was planning to go to the hairdresser, but this is…DUCKS, YOU SAY? Well, off to the park, then! Goodbye!”

    Yeah, it's much better to practice on a piece of old equipment or something you don't care about, than to risk damaging something expensive practicing. The best kind of circuit boards to start with for a beginner are the single-sided, tan boards they use in TVs and audio equipment, as you can be a bit rougher with them.

    Honestly, I should tag a couple more stuff with that.

    Good night Justice.

    Anyway, what I'd really like is one of the 5-section "doghouse" signals, with the yellow and green arrows in addition to the red/yellow/green balls and shut up central avenue, your birthday's not for another two months and you're going to drive everypony crazy with traffic light talk by then

    Good morning.

    Oh sweet, level up.

    the nagging suspicion that there's a certain level of shallowness that pervades much of culture itself


    Shallowness is inherent in the human condition.
    It's entirely possible I'm naïve, but "inherent in the human condition" seems dubious at the best of times, and very much so here.

    On reflection, I think deep vs shallow isn't really the issue anyway since that's not what's changed.  It's more a question of sincerity.

    Which is not to say that kitschy, self-consciously shallow stuff can't be fun, but it's not everything.

    I get that you don't think it would be worth your money to join SA, Lazuli, but why do you care if other people decide to spend their money that way?

    I don't, particularly. It's just what's being discussed right now, so I decided to chime in. (Also it's kind of a teensy bit funny how defensive everyone gets about the place sometimes, but that's beside the point)

    OpenStreetMap shows a road I know to have been built (Etna Parkway, the white-and-blue dotted line) as "proposed".

    I'd like to edit it, but I'm not sure how much of the road has been completed so far. I guess I'll drive out there sometime...maybe get a GPS trace of it, if I can figure out how to do that on my phone.

    NEUTRAFACE IS NOT A GPS TRACE OF ETNA PARKWAY, ANONUS

    THAT DOESN'T SOLVE MY PROBLEM AT ALL

    Shit, missing a roundabout there.

    I guess I should get a GPS trace of that one, too, though getting a trace of a roundabout sounds like a pain...I would have to somehow go through all four legs in both directions, no?
