Hey, I am gonna resume my blitz soon, just stopping by to say that when I finally got around to watch The Desolation of Smaug today, I really had to laugh, when Smaug said "I can Wait."

I'm almost ready to begin the blitz. I think I'll start when I finish making the video (not related) I'm making now.

Now, that the video is ready (it's here, btw) [/shameless self promotion] there are currently no other Outside forces that keep me from beginning my blitz. Although I considered schizoblitzing before, I think it will be better to jump completely into the past and read only these present posts that mention me. A bot will fintd those posts for me but first I'll have to teach him how to do it.

Perhaps nobixbot can generate a report for you until you get your bot running. He actually wants to visit, and we've got a TARDIS so why not? He can't ride a bicycle (is it easier in the lower lunar gravity?) but I hope that's all right.

I'll be more than happy to accept nobixbot's help. I don't know if he's aware that my name is mispronounced sometimes and it's safer to look for everything that b egins with balt-. I was also called bicyclesonthemoon (which is my othername) at least once.

I don't think the OTT takes a lot of space -- the current HTML (nearly 1700 pages) is just about 42 MiB when compressed.

But I wanted to have a copy of everything everything. including images. Luckily 428MiB also isn't very much.

This last spell of m*stard was bad enough that Timborme and I decided to spring for a new OTTimeter, the kind that detects both polarities of mustard, and with nighttime molpy detection:

How about some redundancy? I have another one:

It can also measure redundancy. And redundancy. (It's an ottification of Meratronik v543. We have them at the Othershycircle University of Technology and they are really neat.

How can you be sure you've seen the top? Most hills I climb repeatedly tease you with false peaks.

Maybe they have seen the top before...

Very cute wolpy Aluisio! So why do you blackify your avatars?

IIRC this avatar specifically was created during the "charlie_grumbles's all-black avatar" era, and I was leaving too (or maybe I was about to return, or had just returned).

Donut Cue!

The sky darkens. Time to switch soundtracks.

Chupket! And it's unusually seaish. This calls for dusting off this smiley again:

Also, I've always wanted to ride a zeppelin. flying by wing is really tiring, and then I have to eat a mcdonalds to keep my energy up. It would be nice to fly without all that pesky flapping and work.

As a steampunk enthusiast, having an airship is a major fantasy of mine

I love snakes - I have a remote controlled one!

Corinne is remote controlled? Is she a cyborg snake?

I still maintain that "Cueball" is really Rob. He is referred to as "Rob" many times, which explainxkcd explains away as basically "Rob is another guy who looks and acts exactly like Cueball but only shows up in the comics where GLR has to refer to him by name". If we applied the same heuristics that we did in naming Megan, the guy is obviously Rob.

...Although that would mean that we'd have to replace Cuegan and Megball with Robgan and Megrob.

Ni ni ni etc... besides, that would be confusing as we have an mrob in the thread
Besides, we tend not to correct our nomenclature after finding out a thing is not in fact what we've got used to calling it (See: Molpy, dilgunnerang, semencoffeecancerbaconbabiesonice...)

Aww, where did the wolpy go?

Hmm, there's still something there, it's not completely black...
*downloads image and messes about* Aha, it is in fact still a wolpy!
Ch*rp, ninja'd a few times on that one.

(As for the actual argument, I put forward that cueball is a nameless character, "Cueball" is just a title.)

Like Cueball the Cueball? Or maybe Cueball Cueball?

Well, BlitzGirl is BlitzGirl the BlitzGirl the First... so sure, could be!

Sir Cue of Ball. Cueball, the Third Earl of Cueball. Cueball Cueballsworth, of the Hampshire Cueballsworths.

Hey, I am gonna resume my blitz soon, just stopping by to say that when I finally got around to watch The Desolation of Smaug today, I really had to laugh, when Smaug said "I can Wait."

So THAT's what Smaug was doing all those yips. He wasn't just sitting around in all that treasure, he was following the OTC!

Speaking of laughing at lines in things - Not RELATED to the OTT, but to asdfmovie, if anyone's familiar with it: I laughed so hard at episode 1 of the new series of Sherlock when a character said "I like trains."

How about some redundancy? I have another one:

Spoiler:

It can also measure redundancy. And redundancy. (It's an ottification of Meratronik v543. We have them at the Othershycircle University of Technology and they are really neat.

Treeish! It wouldn't be the OTT without competing standards, and that includes hardware.

Ok. Now, that everything is ready, Let the blitz begin!

Spoiler:

That's also highly treeish! It looks like it was made on Drawception, is that so? It's awesomeful!

[AluisioASG]

So THAT's what Smaug was doing all those yips. He wasn't just sitting around in all that treasure, he was following the OTC!

How big is the OTC in bytes? Anyone cares to calculate the transfer rate?

(Google Translate translates ‘OTC’ to Portuguese as ‘mercado de balcão’ ― over-the-counter market?)


It is here.

[SBN]

ENHANCE!

Spoiler:

Buggy (likely) watching a gecko

Sweet!

I was worried, on my screen all I can see is a black square, I thought maybe you were in the basement. I took the largest wolpy and go buy wolpy food, while we still have two digits in the temperature. (Middle sized wolpy went last time, and smallest wolpy doesn't really like going to the store, too much chance of seeing the evil UPS truck there.) She likes the UPS people, just hates their trucks. Then I came home and the UPS truck pulled up right behind me.

Hey, I am gonna resume my blitz soon, just stopping by to say that when I finally got around to watch The Desolation of Smaug today, I really had to laugh, when Smaug said "I can Wait."

Frozen had some related lines too, which of course, escape me now. It was very good, and you have to respect a cartoon that includes the word fractally in a song.

Holy Ketchup, Bacon!

Like a hellish version of the travelling salesman problem,I just had to drive 14 students to 9 different addresses because everybody wanted to get the last bus of the night. It would be so much simpler if I were a dragon...

Besides, we tend not to correct our nomenclature after finding out a thing is not in fact what we've got used to calling it (See: Molpy, dilgunnerang, semencoffeecancerbaconbabiesonice...)

At what point did we discover that the original molpy was not what we thought? No, cuegan never described it as such, but they didn't not call it one either

A helpful tip I picked up from an otherthread, if you highlight text in the "topic review" and press quote, it will only quote the highlighted text. Makes snipping much easier.

This could take a while as, unlike you, I am bound by the speed of the present.

Good luck Blitzers, you shall reach the end!

[yappobiscuits]

Well, we eventually saw other animals that were definitely not compies or moles, but still called them molpies! As is the OTTish way!

[ChronosDragon]

Like a hellish version of the travelling salesman problem,I just had to drive 14 students to 9 different addresses because everybody wanted to get the last bus of the night. It would be so much simpler if I were a dragon...

Ah, the age old math problem subversion joke is finally resolved:
"If a bus driver stops at the first stop and picks up 9 kids, drives east at 50 k/h for 7 minutes, stops again and picks up 8 more and drops off 2, drives west at 60 k/h for 3 more minutes, stops again and picks up 11 more and drops off 5, and then drives 15 more minutes at 75 k/h to the school, what is the bus driver's name?"
Clearly, it would seem, the answer is "HES".

And of course, things are all much simpler indeed for dragons: unwanted passengers can quickly become an in-flight snack.

[HES]

That's the one that starts with "You're driving a bus..."

One of my old primary school maths teachers used to do maths challenges, which were a fast series of additions, multiplications etc that you had to keep up with. Just before the end he would multiply by zero. I guess they get their fun by tormenting 10 year olds.

And of course, things are all much simpler indeed for dragons: unwanted passengers can quickly become an in-flight snack.

And that's when you find out your intestines aren't nuclear transmutation reactors and that some people are actually arsenic-based life forms.

(Yes, I do intend to finance such a project... once I have the money.)

Being 'murican, and used to working with relativistic spacetime units, I'm not familiar with the standard abbreviations for metric units. I think I meant "km/h".

[AluisioASG]

I think I meant "km/h".

Obviously you are wrong. It's (571.4 q/np).

[ZoomanSP]

For HES:

Spoiler:

Good luck!

[ChronosDragon]

Obviously you are wrong. It's (571.4 q/np).

Obviously. I obviously needed

Code: Select all

FuncFactory.getInstance()
                 .getHandler(Units.class)
                 .convertUnits1a("km")
                 .convertUnits1b("h")
                 .convertUnits2a("q")
                 .convertUnits2b("np");

We've got a browser. Well, at least the otters got one. Not sure about OTTers. Looks like a nice reason to reinstall the Qt SDK here.

Ok. Now, that everything is ready, Let the blitz begin!

I am an outsider. I stopped by to say, "Hi."
I wanted to comment on how great the guy with the bike is.

If he were Real that would be a dumb thing to do.
But, he is only on a screen. He can not be hurt by the lightening.

You people are sometimes funny.
When I can understand you.

Kelvins per Hour!
That is funny.
And; Even I get that one.

[AluisioASG]

You post here too much to be an outsider.

[ucim]

I am an outsider.

Heresy! Heresy! (I guess you like chocolate!) Bring out the Comfy Chair! Start burning the steaks! You're an OTTer like the rest of us - wear that moniker with pride!

I do want to say that balthabiker's gif is awesome.

IIRC this avatar specifically was created during the "charlie_grumbles's all-black avatar" era

Now I'm going to have to look through his avatars (are they saved?) and ENHANCE them. And if somebody wanted to upload mine to the wiki, that would be fine (I don't have a wiki account so can't upload pix). I'll be changing back after the next AotC.

There were some other (older) things I wanted to reply to, but I'm going to have to do a separate condiment run. I don't always read and post synchronously. I also have some molpyhunt pix to show. But, after the first commandment.

Easy - she's on the Outside, and you're not. Scary place, Outside, and she's going to need mustard to get back. I hope she's ok.

Maybe it was this snake Cueball saw?

Spoiler:

If we saw its full length in mscha's animation, it might be the wrong species, since the juveniles have a different colouration, and the adults are about 0.67q long. But maybe its true length was concealed by our 2.5D view.
