Someone please make a thread about this whole situation. I'm fucking crying looking at all the shit on this. lmao

Someone want to revive the UT thread?

This is a rhetorical question. Please don't do that, this shit is horrible and I don't want to imagine Toby Fox crying in a shame corner somewhere.

Oh! The FCC sent me a form-letter response to my form-letter remarks on proceeding number #16-106. How formally thoughtful!

It seems that Docket 16-106 is currently open to public comment on the matter at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs! I do believe I shall provide comments on said docket number. They've really cleaned up and improved the website since the last time I was there!

I am a titanic dork. I am such a colossal dork, I even read EULAs (it's good to know what rights you giving up!)

I read the EULA for Stellaris today. It has a clause specifically granting rights to use for Let's Play videos, on the condition that their copyrights of the game be displayed and any soundtracks have tgeir artists properly credited. Quite fair terms really, but I was still surprised to see mention of it in an EULA at all. I've been watching LPs since about 2007/2008 I think, but this is the first time I've come across this sort of thing.

Let's Play videos have truly arrived!

Holy fuck! Car insurance is crazy expensive.

"So, you're a 20 year old young man just getting your driver's license? Here, rub this petroleum jelly all over your asshole so it doesn't hurt too bad before we financially rape you to death. Now give us all your money or else you won't be able to get to work!"

Maybe I should claim to be a no-op transwoman in order to get cheap car insurance. If they still try to charge me male rates, I'll sue them for discriminating against an oppressed transexual. It'd be nice to fuck over the insurance companies for a change. My butthole flutters in anticipation.

Well yeah, it's the most profitable insurance market. I like all sorts of rape, financial rape isn't one of them.

Was pondering moving to Capetown, South Africa. Weather is amazing, never below 45f, never above 85f, dry-ish, mountains, sea, and it looks less violent than here. Plus, a lot of parks to explore, wildlife nearby.

America is OK, just kinda bored with it. Plus, it's really reasonable to live there, and they make wonderful wine. So it's an idea, as I have worked in the wine business before, and I'd like a change of pace.

Has anyone met any furs from South Africa? I know I've seen a few through the years, but damn if I can recall them now.

From what I've heard, South Africa is not the most pleasant of places. It's like rest of the Africa except that instead of people living in the countryside, people live in cities and as such, crime rate is one of the highest on the global scale in South Africa. People tend to be xenophobic and unemployment, economical stability and integrity of government are massive issues. Although these are mainly the issue of the poor black people majority, every person living in SA will feel the consequences

Plus when you live next to a big desert, it gets quite hot in there

And every single server for any online game will give you a very high Ping value

I have met a few people who lived there, and liked it well enough, especially the coast. (Not furries, though, worked in the wine import business) I live in Baltimore now, right in the city, so I'm pretty used to racial tensions and crime; from what my friends told me, it's stratified in a different way there, but overall, if you can live in Baltimore or Philly, it's nothing really scary. I'll have to go and visit. (We also have a large, poor black majority, as a result of a pretty ugly history, blocking home-ownership, and many other things)

Right now, though, the US is seeming more and more divided...I've never seen it this bad, at least in the past 20 years I've followed such things.

But it looks like an amazing landscape, and I like to be outside, so the idea of not having it be 95 and smoggy is appealing, and also, having a clean ocean, as opposed to a polluted bay is nice. So I'll to go and see.

Thanks for taking the time out to reply...I know it would be an odd, even hard place to live, but that's part of the appeal. And it's close to Madagascar, and other places I'd like to go to.

Also, what's a Ping value? I don't play games, but have heard the term, just have no idea what it is. Ping? Like a slow connection?

Well if you view the situation in US like that then living in SA isn't really that much different for you, I guess. And after I replied I was thinking maybe you got some relatives over there and past good experiences about the place and I was just maybe reflecting my own situation and quality of life too much. Hell, I don't even live in US

Also

Ping essentially means your Internet latency i.e the time it takes for a packet of data to travel from one place to another. Anything more than 200ms Ping (latency) would mean a game that requires stable Internet access would be hard to enjoy, at least for me

I have no idea what the patch was. Tbh, I haven't been following the game too closely. I but the bullet when it on sale, and even then only after being reminded for the second time that they have literal space foxes.

So far the game is fun, bit I'm still in the tutorials. I created 9 civilizations before even starting a game XP I wanted a nice foxy galaxy to play in :3

Ah, I have been following the game for quite some time; when it launched it was very content light in the mid-late game, Asimov is the 2nd of 3 free patches to add more content. I will probably get it now that this patch is out.

The civilization creator is certainly one of the coolest parts of the game, there are so many race options... so many birds to choose from...

I picked up the phone. They said virtually nothing, but I already knew.

I told them exactly what the problem was, who will fix it, what will be done to figure out how to fix it, what the caller needs to say about the problem, why they don't need to run it again, that the third party appears to have failed to follow format specs, and how the team has a full week to fix the problem that came up in my planned dry run before it actually causes any issues.

They had called about THAT task.

This is my mother's internet. She has broadband but possibly the cheapest, slowest broadband I have ever seen, barely faster than the fastest dialup. When I visit I loathe borrowing her wifi.

 

And in other news, Russia and the USA just expelled each other's diplomats after a US diplomat in Moscow was roughed up by a russian policeman outside of his embassy. 

So, new Cold War/WW3 y/y????

I just watched a youtube video about a black widow and now I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable and skittish to every feeling and sound I notice in my room. I know those things can be found in my area too, and I've seen them in the outdoors, so that doesn't help anything. x_x

Come home from JITB, park, two guys on their phones stop to try catching a Raichu that appears on my hood.

'Tis quite fun, isn't it? Today at work one of my coworkers screamed and threw his phone because he kept finding the same Pokemon.

I have also had a few people try to start conversation with me about it as apparently I look like someone who plays Pokemon or something... I don't know if i should be insulted by that or not.

It only takes one modification to make it a penis. Invert the brow.

Also, Hit's not even a villain. It's Goku Black.

Which is even more uninspiring. They already did the evil Goku thing before. That random ass saiyan that looked identical to Goku in one of the movies and that time Captain Ginyu snatched Goku's body. Hell even Bardock is basically just Goku design wise.

This is about 50 Kbps worse than average for me at my home.

A lot of people have told me Wildblue was bad, and my family knows from experience that Hughesnet is just as bad.  I heard rumor that their data caps are so draconian that the monthly updates for one Windows PC burns through the whole thing before the updates finish downloading.  Also, despite that test being two years old, I've been told it hasn't improved at all for either ISP since.

Today I am going to eat some of this curious watermelon I got at the farmer's market, which is green, round, but the inside is yellow, though it tastes really sweet, like a 'normal' watermelon, though with a bit of a tang to it. They also had ones that were orange and green inside. I had no idea so many watermelons existed. 

I think one day it might be a peaceful life to have a watermelon farm, if I had the $ to start one. They seem like they'd be quiet.
