Thanks Giles.

Thank you!

I am not clear if this comment is a joke or serious.

If serious, what do you mean, and why is that? I am curious.

To be fair, it is a thorny issue.

And ginger.

Far be it from me to defend the imperial system- I love and daily work in metric, but you realize nearly all ancient measurement systems are created around commonplace physical measures (body parts, strides, etc.) and simple multiples thereof to make their use easy, yeah?

We’ve got a lot of tools at our disposal now to both standardize and make working with a decimal system a lot more doable than before.

I just bought a machine with an NVIDIA card which I am going to install Mint on. Do you have any advice?

(I had planned to get an AMD GPU, but was unable to for various reasons.)

I believe that have swapped the Steam Machine in for the Kaaba at Mecca- the Islam holy site. The Kaaba is already a big black cube, so it works well.

This is the way. It works great, I’ve been running it for years.

Now that is a high stakes strength check.

The refractory period is a hell of a thing

That is a weapons-grade life hack right there.

This is a Photoshop of Norman Rockwell’s Triple Self Portrait, for those who think it’s neat.

The labeling on those axes is horrific. A human is apparently about 7 units of “Large” on the “Size” axis, and can piss around 110 units of “Jet” on the “Shape” axis.

What is 7 units of Large Size you wonder? Fuck you. What is 110 units of Jet Shape you ask? Hell if we know. You sure aren’t going to.

What are all the unlabeled dots? Who cares. Sample size? “I saw one do it.”

The UK, in my experience, does not do “screens”.

They also frequently do not do air-conditioning.

They seem to like to raw-dog the woes of summer.

See, your first mistake was the beep. Tipped them off. Coulda make thousands!

Are you using something to automate that? If so what? Does it require root?

My favorite is when the players break out some custom item you have them thirty sessions ago and you have to figure out what it does on the fly.

“Remember that potion you gave us? The one mysteriously labelled ‘Brew 36’? I just drank it, what happens??”

What you don’t dare do

You are aware that pigs are mammals, yes?
