About 3 hours ago in my flat, all the plug sockets in my room stopped working

I shouldn't be as happy as I am, but I'm so relieved that I have a legitimate excuse to lie in bed playing Pokemon instead of working

Wow. My apartment's probably in worse shape than yours and the sockets still work. Why can't I have your luck?

Satan definitely needs more gay.

I find this trait of the conspiracy-right very tiresome.

 

Not all right wingers are paranoid, but all paranoids are right wingers?

 

There was a mass-stabbing at OSU today. I swear it wasn't me. My question is, why didn't he just use a gun. You're not gonna kill that many people if you stab them. Much more efficient to use a firearm, and that seems to be the weapon of choice in mass murder attacks nowadays. Might as well go out with a bang.

In any case, considering the suspect was both black and Muslim, and was shot to death by police, I expect these reactions from both the left and the right.

The left: Are they going to blame it on police brutality, racism, or Islamophobia? How about all three! We can have protests and riots about how terribly racist and anti-muslim the police are for shooting this man.

The right (especially talk radio): Guy's a terrorist. Doesn't matter what his motives are, and that he's black and not Arab, he's a terrorist. All Muslims are terrorists doncha'know. So whatever violent thing a Muslim does it has to be in support of terrorism.

that is like, the worst name for an element I've ever seen.

I also thought they knew diddly squat about 117

It can exist for, at best, a couple hundred miliseconds. That's actually pretty good for an atom that heavy (remember, the atomic number means it has 117 protons, just like how Hydrogen has 1 and Carbon has 6.) It was named after the state hosting the laboratories and Universities which collaborated to discover it (though technically it was manufactured in Russia).

Given the primary lab behind it is Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I think Tennessine is a better name for an atom than Regine Ridgine. :Y

Agreed! It sounds more like a small batch Whiskey.

Also, I think we have too many elements. I vote we cap them at 100. :V

Conservapedia is the first result when you google Tennesine, lol.

That's funny!

In other news, we ditched our Hulu Subscription...not much on it anymore, especially since they lost the Criterion Collection.

So we're trying Filmstruck, instead, which seems pretty good so far; they have mostly classic, indie and foreign films, and picked up the Criterion collection, which has most of the Janus collection. Time will tell what gets rotated through, but for $10, there's a lot of amazing films. We don't have cable, and this suits our needs pretty well.

Tennessine wasn't the only element newly named, it seems! 113 was named Nihonuium after Japan (the first element named for an Asian country!) and 115 is Moscovium to honor Russia's contributions. 118 was named Oganesson in honor of russian physicist Yuri Oganessian (who my phone keeps trying to auto-correct to 'Yuri I gayness on'). Pretty impressive getting an element named after him!

Cool. I used to keep track of this sort of thing, but these days I'm mostly out of my element.

The periodic table isn't big enough. The new ones have to sit at the kids' table.

An interesting article from a website I learned of today which posts translations of news articles from around the world about America. This on is from China (who has a lot to say on the election) on the subject of continued American world leadership and whether China could fill the perceived coming gap.

The answer may surprise you (unless you keep up with Chinese world views, then its in line but still interesting.)

I attended Christmas carols this evening. It was freezing, but I got a mince pie and mulled wine. :3

Huh, today, there were a few guys doing Jazz versions of Christmas Carols at the train station, and as the train was delayed, I was amazed how oddly cheery they sounded, as well as being really quite good, and, not even being a a huge Christmas fan, threw a few dollars into the hat. One guy alternated  between tenor, alto, and soprano sax, which I found was kinda cool.

But if I were to sing or play a sax outside of somebody's window, the cops would probably come, on a drunk and disorderly noise complaint. :V

Here's a fun one from the website I posted about before. It's a 2014 article from Switzerland in which the author muses on why the soccer hooliganism phenomena is rare in the US. His consideration of patriotism's possible role amused me in particular.

It was an overall enjoyable read of self-reflection on a problem in where the comparison to US not only illuminated the aspects of our culture that stands out to them, but highlights their own culture at the same time.

Found this today:

Hnnnnng, it makes me want a Majora's Mask movie/tv series/hd game remake so bad. D;

Pretty good for the most part, although I don't know why he made the fairies actual spheres... they only looked like that in game due to low graphics. And, the way the beak was actually some sort of mask itself.

Anyone checked out FF15 yet? Is it your typical JRPG with skinny emo fucks with crazy ass spikey hair (and yet I'll play it anyway)? Conan seems to hate it.

You nerds need to start posting more. I'm sick of your collective lack of activity on the site.

Mods should punish people for not posting enough and reward those who post well and often.

You get -1 furfag rep for not meeting your posting quotas. At the end of every month, the number of new posts and the ratio of likes per post will be brought into consideration when handing out both rewards and punishment.

People who make a minimum of 3 posts per day, on average, with a post/like ratio of 1:1 will be eligible for the first reward tier. The second tier will be 5 post per average day and a post/like ratio of 1:1.5. The third tier will be 7 posts per average day and a post/like ratio 1:2.

Reward tier suggestions:

Tier 1: Stickers and fake tattoos. Congratulations, little babby! You're a basic bitch poster.

Tier 2:  Commission tokens and asspats.

Tier 3: Access to an elite portion of the forum where only the mightiest posters can dwell. Others may view this part of the forum, but will not be allowed to post there. We'll call it The Posting Colosseum. Also commission tokens will be rewards on this tier, too. That or some other gay shit. You can get someone on the Mod Squad™ assigned to draw your gay wolf man shitting on his dog boyfriend's neon green dick. All you gotta do is get that sweet 200℅ post approval rating.

 

Let's all pitch in and make autism great again™. We can build a wall to keep the FAF members out. It's not like anybody wants to join this community anyways. I'll be running for adminship next year. Don't worry about financially supporting my campaign. All you have to do is buy one of my hats.  Vote for me and you'll all get laid. I promise.

I would be honored if you would let me grab this site by the pussy.

I'm the friendly fascist, the delightful dictator, and the the dandy despot. Feel free to ask about any other policies I can implement, should I be elected.

Been busy, sorry. But if you promise to respond to it I'll make some kind of pretentious thread about Christmas food or something. Next week.

Yes! We are in desperate need of such threads. I will post pie and lasagna.

We also need to orchestrate some sort of Christmas stream to bring the community back together. I want everyone to know that I won't just be the admin for those who support me, but for all furries everywhere.

Russia's 2018 FIFA World Cup mascot Zabivaka is looking pretty cool. 

So cool, there's already porn of him.

Zabivaka - e621 is the third result when I search him.

Da fuck? Did the Russians get a furry to design the mascot for them?

Edit:
Aww, he's cute....

Is he stable?

He's out of the hospital now, so presumably. They opened up his heart, apparently. I don't know the details, as my mom didn't stay on the phone for very wrong. But she assured me he's fine now. He's always had heart trouble though.

Decided to test one of the two transistors I got recently to see if it hadn't already died at the hands of everyone in the college engineering department.

Set everything up in a common  emitter configuration and tested the various colour LEDs as well.

Green being relevantly bright to the point it photographed funny, red was slightly less so, yellow the same, blue was stupidly bright to the point of outdoing the sun.

The tranisistors I have are BC108s (small signal NPN sorts) made by some obscure Indian company called CDIL if anyone is wondering.

Of course. The wolf mascot gets a bunch of porn but the 2010 World Cup leopard mascot only got a sliver of it. Bring back Zakumi! :V

I actually liked the Russian cat design better, but the furry they paid  has done a really lovely rendition (love silverfox's drawings).

It is also amusing to know that Russia has accidentally designed what will become a gay porn icon. ;3

I also appreciate the irony, here.

And a very cute design.

Do most soccer teams have animal mascots? Can't say I know too much about soccer, and its mascots, by extension. Is art often commissioned of them, in a promotional capacity?

I'm not sure; I'm not a soccer fan.

Also I agree on Silverfox's drawings. He is able to make anything look adorable.
