Packing to fly home to Traverse City, Michigan, to see my folks for Christmas...this will be the first time in two years since I have seen them---last time was when they were the sole witnesses at the Baltimore City Courthouse, when I married my mate, Dec. 8, 2014. So I'm both nervous, and excited, it's been so long. If not for $, we'd be a lot closer, I think, in a literal sense. Gonna fly outta Baltimore Christmas day, so may not be on much for a week, if at all...might even go dog-sledding while I'm up there, if the places are not booked! Hope there is a lotta snow, and everyone else also gets 2 feet of snow, across the entire US : )

That's probably in commie celcius anyway. Unless you live in northern Siberia.

The speedo is in a Pontiac vibe.

Not like it makes much of a difference. -33C is -27.4F

I'm just hoping that's with windchill, because I've never seen it that cold without windchill.

Some people have no respect for property.

Also, it's worth noting that Mentor has two theaters, on opposite sides of town. The location I work at was not the location this happened at, but apparently we have had issues with these assholes over here too. Luckily the police have enough evidence to nail them.

I thought up of an interesting combination due to some slight similarities. Lucario + Dust. I did a Google image search of it because I knew someone out there had to have thought of it already. One person did and made it in sprite form. The rest of the results were mostly... porn, and this...

I like the description of that video.

You ain't kidding nobody pal

 

Speaking of peeing, I'm about to go to bed, and I'm in that wonderfully horrible state of limbo, where I don't quite have to pee yet but I know that I will wake up in the middle of the night having to pee

Thankfully unlike the video maker I do have a pee fetish @Imperial Impact

I am not happy I have to more or less do differential calculus over xmas because college. 

One of the questions is those verbose kind that tell you what the value of each constant in the formula is and what the result is if a value is different rather than giving the equation to integrate.

Come to think of it it likely wants a graph made in excel doing first.

iTunes wants me to upgrade... again. I don't even use it. Might just uninstall. 

My mom watches A Christmas Story for the entire 24 hour marathon it's on. Once is fine, but once you've shot your eye out for a few dozen times it gets old. Also, I'm surprised anyone survived the 50s... and yet we want to go back to it?

Now watch me kill a sea reaper with a knife

It's not even really the creatures. But scale always gets me in certain games. I just find tower structures and unknown depths a lot more intimidating than the norm. On top of the fucking sounds when you're sea gliding and rapidly passing everything, it just makes my ears stick out and my hairs stand on end.

Great game though. I've always been looking for that crafting game that suits me because the genre is cool, but most of the games put me to sleep like MineCraft, Terraria, and now StarBound 1.0 which I really liked in early access. :c

But this game's pretty rad even though it's a bit rough technically still.

So this is what I'm going to be doing with the 3-d models.

I'm going to label the positions of specific features on their skeletons, and after all this spatial information has been collected, a computer program is going to sift through them in order to figure out what the leading modes of shape variation are in the bird scans.

After the leading modes of variation are found, then a space can be constructed which plots those modes on its axes, and the individual birds will populate that space.
The pattern of the birds populating different regions of the constructed space will let me answer questions such as whether Perching birds/ passerines occupy a conservative 'centre-ground' in the constructed space. (this is what most people think, but who knows- it might be wrong).
