Anyone know where I can find a trench coat not made out of leather? Not for any particular event or reason, just because I'm currently wearing someone else's (leather) one and I'd quite like one myself (but am a vegetarian and do my best not to buy leather, etc.). I am, perhaps, looking for something more like a duster? In any case, I definitely want full length (and am roughly 5' 10'' or 11'').

My first thought was AbbyShot, which certainly does fit what you're looking for, but I'm not sure the famous-replica thing is.

[e^iπ+1=0]

Those are both more expensive than I was expecting (although looking around briefly, appears fairly normal :/) and not quite the sort of coat I was thinking of. Thanks for the thought, though. More like this but without me looking douchey? I could also do with boots that I could actually wear on a semi-regular basis (again without leather, of course). Edit: And while we're at it, a non-leather stetson? Basically, I'm looking to expand the number of garments I have, mainly for rpg reasons, and these are some things that I don't have that seem cool to me.

So my household recently went from the least likely to ever have pets to having 2. Being strong-willed pays off.

Do a web search for 'faux leather' and variations on coat.

if we're honest with ourselves, reddit is just the party down the street, in the area with larger houses.

Man, after reading through a ton.. and I mean a ton of reddit...

4Chan is your friend who says sexist, racist, homophobic shit all the time but you aren't sure how much is serious and how much is just bullshit for the sake of shock value, as more than half of the shit said doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Reddit is your friend who doesn't seem to be racist or homophobic or anything at all... until their car gets broken into and you get a sudden earful of an extremely racist tirade about Mexicans or Blacks or something, only in not as polite terms, making you wonder just what the fuck kind of racist scumfuck you're hanging with in the first place.

Yeah 4Chan's a piece of shit, but at least it knows it.

some company seems to find our forum more problematic than reddit or 4chan

It's ok, whoever that notice was given to would be visiting xkcd not XKCD so they're fine.

Army surplus. Cheap but generally good quality, so long as you're not too fussy about getting a perfect fit. I go about dressed as a Danish officer during the colder months.

[e^iπ+1=0]

Ah, that's a good idea. I'll look into it.

[dhokarena56]

In the novel I have that's going through planning stages, the protagonist gets hit in the head after a lady he rather fancies (who is also kind of a manipulative bitch) chucks a bound copy of her dissertation out her window.

And an infinite number of internets if you can spot the reference.

[Noc]

...spot the reference.

...they're included in the bibliography, surely? >.>

[dhokarena56]

Well, it's very stream-of-consciousness...I'll probably prepare annotations and then wait a few years for the English majors to try and figure out what I'm saying first.

[Noc]

I meant the bibliography of the defenestrated dissertation, which is a location within that scene where references would be found. I was trying to be clever.

[Ptolom]

Oh that would be the creepiest thing to be hit on the head by. A bound book which appears to have been compiled especially for hurling at you for the sake of an obscure reference.

"Confinement" here is a word used to mean "in trouble". I.e., that's the terms of use agreement for when you've been restricted from using computers for recreational purposes, because you're a cadet at a military school and got into trouble.

They're okay, but personally I'd prefer this version.

The only thing I can think of is... "that's adorable".

In other news, I found Trail Mix Chex Mix! I haven't seen this stuff in over five years!

Ate too much yesterday, and involving raw foods (salmon), and today struggling with extremely uncomfortable abdominal pain. Well, at least according to the internet, it's not one of salmon's parasites, it's not an allergic reaction to mushrooms, and it doesn't match the timescale or diagnosis of various other parasites. I'll chalk it up to food poisoning. They said I should wait for 3 days to see if it doesn't let up, so fine.

I'm logged in a public computer to read the forums. I've also used Google, and discovered that the last two searches performed from this machine were:

Advanced bionics
Christian love songs

Seems a somewhat bizarre juxtaposition to me. Maybe someone's planning to build a cyborg replacement for Whitney Houston.

Despite being able to type at a sustained speed of over 70wpm, I don't type correctly. I know how to properly type, that it's faster, and that it's better for hands/wrists, but I never learned the right way. I think I'm going to have to relearn it, with consciously pressing keys. It's a shame really, they should teach typing at school; if everyone typed at a good speed, much more would get done.
Hmm wondering if should get a mechanical keyboard given how much I usually type. Current one is starting to fail.

[Magnanimous]

My school taught typing in grade 7 along with a general computer skills class. And I say "taught" in the sense that we worked in a typing program, and the teacher was just there to make sure we didn't goof off.

Same here. Did you use Mavis Beacon as well? Also, did they put an orange latex thing over the keyboard so you weren't looking down?

[Mighty Jalapeno]

I can five-finger type about 70wpm - 90wpm. It used to bug the almighty crap out of my Data Processing teachers (the high school computing course at the time), since it 'wasn't right', and I ended up getting a C in that course. Nowadays, no-one particularly cares how I type, just that I can (and I like to freak them out by turning my head and facing someone to hold a conversation with them, WHILE STILL TYPING CORRECTLY). Five-finger for the win, yo.

This. I type about 75-100 depending on what I'm going on about. I would say that I use more than 5 fingers, but I don't follow the home keys or any standard of typing. I only recently >2-3 years got the hang of typing the way I do without looking.

That name sounds familiar, but I don't remember an orange thing. We were just told to not look at the keyboard.

I did. Except that instead of an orange latex thing, which is apparently too expensive, it was a manilla folder that we put our hands under.

I sure hope none of those kids read the fora.

If they don't it's a pretty useless way of passing messages to them.
