Sometimes kids just have to prove to themselves that things work the way they do. The hard way.

Cooking in any level of nudity is always fraught with risk.

That's more or less what I'm up against while trying to play Witcher 3. Still going through the tutorial and there's no good place to save. I don't want to spend hours (or even one hour) playing at a time. I got laundry to do...

Welcome to the alphabet side of life! It's colourful here.

Congratulations on the new stinker.

Will look into that. The album isn't that old but doesn't seem to have any tags at all, other than track number.

When you're in a particular version of the Play window, you can right-click on a song (or group of songs, but not the playlist title) and select "Find album info". This goes to an online service and tries to find a matching album. From there, choose "Edit" on the left side and it...

I hate computers with the fire of a thousand singed eyebrows. That said: I'm using Windows Media Player, version 12, on Win7. I have copied a CD onto the hard drive and named all the tracks what they should be called. Now I want to drop these songs into a playlist in WMP. When I did that, none of th...

Unless you're particularly gifted in the making-healthy-new-habits department, it's pretty much always a matter of restarting. Start, get into a habit, fall a little bit out of the habit, then more out, then realise you haven't Done It (whatever It is) for an embarrassingly long time now. Figure out...

Three-stop shopping.

poxic

It's illegal to sell 157g of chocolate that is labeled as 175g, but not to sell something that's 157g which used to be 175g as long as it's labeled a 157g. I don't think I want to proofread that sentence. If the product is labeled correctly, the company can fill it with 91% air and sell a 16g chocci...

It's sort of why humans do it.

Not if there's going to be any thrashing around, no. (Ref: necks are fragile.)

poxic

I wouldn't imagine you'd want to use hair (that's still attached) for anything other than decorative tying. Necks are fairly fragile and hair can pull out in unfortunate ways.

I recall getting really angry at something that I was fighting one night, which I triumphantly vanquished and threw far away. When I woke up, my shirt was on the floor.

You're the Messiah! And you're the Messiah! Everyone is a Messiah!

From a certain point of view, that is.

I'm currently being blown away by these guys . I was first linked to Niechęć on r/listentothis or a similar site, a song on their current album called Metanol (Youtube link). It's Polish, and jazz, and moderately freaky. It's just that bit far enough ahead of the things my friends and I can do that ...

Your shoe size should be the checksum of a CAD plot file of your feet scanned at a standard dpi. Or maybe not, but we should be able to get footholders that are much more customised than we currently do. Otherwise why have all this technology?

Sounds like exactly why I'm happy to have a strata council to handle all that. Condo owners are responsible for everything inside their suite, and their monthly fees pay for strata to hire professionals to do everything else. There are annoyances - I can paint/change/fix my anything, with some cavea...

poxic

Most condos around here, I think, have either electric baseboard heat (like my place) or a central boiler for distributed hot water heat. No machinery that I need to bleed or otherwise maim.

This is why I live in a condo.

Also because money, but still.

It's a recurring theme in life. I look forward to getting to 80 or so and deciding I'm done with updating my beliefs to better match reality.

Hold up a pic of ST while you're doing it so he knows that ST sent you. (Sent the punch, I suppose. Is that what's meant by telegraphing your intentions?)

I think I've spent too much time with book critics and tropes to enjoy books anymore. Thought about this today. I think I got to the same place with music: a decade spent taking it apart to see how it works, and now it's like I'm bored of everything as soon as I hear it. I ended up going to African...

We're already taking down lots of mountains, aren't we? Mostly because the rock has shiny stuff in it, I think.
