Sidewalk Surfboard Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 You know, I'm honestly kinda mad that Disney is making a live remake of Beauty and the Beast. People are talking about the gay moment when they should be talking about how all these remakes are gonna be known ass The 'we ran out of ideas' era of Disney.

DrGravitas Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I keep seeing emails circulating from the client-side telling folks to 'ignore the fire alarms'. Must be terribly annoying over there right now. Is that even legal to tell people not to pay attention to them? What if they actually have a fire? Ars Technica has a cool Article on WordStar, a DOS word processor still popular with authors like George R. R. Martin this morning. Edit: Lots of good articles today, it seems. This one on design philosophies of movie aliens from a particular special effects group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when MS world finally matured a bit (by the time word 95 came out, combined with Corel dropping the ball at the time) it did the same to WordPerfect due to it not requiring users to memorise nearly as much keyboard shortcuts to get real productive in it. I think this is a thing with Corel liking keyboard shortcuts a bit too much. Painter is like that as well to a extent though my muscle memory doesn't help with me being used to photoshop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtrekkie Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Today, for the first time ever, I attended a real public school. Because everyone else there had formed cliques the day before, none of the other adults would sit next to me. I ended up doing the group study alone in the corner. nd when I introduced air into my fluid sample, everyone laughed and joked about how big my bubble was (the instructor messed up his sample, too .>.) During lunch, all of the seats were taken so I bought a sandwich off campus and ate outside instead. And when the day was over, everyone ignored me and didn't get the opportunity to ask the instructor for clarification. I find this amusing but high school must be tough.

Hardware doesn't decide what OS you will be using nor will it have controls that could inhibit sending info over Internet for "spying" purposes EDIT: After reading the link posted by Grav it seems this hardware limitation is another scheme by Microsoft to shoehorn us to use the latest Windows 10 OS just so Microsoft doesn't have to support older Windows 7 and 8.

Fossa Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Woah, what a lazy day. Went over to some friends around midnight, and watched old cartoons, nature documentaries, and other assorted compilations of weird things, sometimes to music other than the soundtracks supplied, and had these very potent pot brownies...I have not slept so long or peacefully in ages and with the best muscle relaxing effect outside of an expensive massage. And thus passed the first of six days off for Spring break, at the library: walked home at 7 AM, made pasta with artichoke hearts, black olives, tomatoes and capers, ate, then hibernated all day in bed, so I think this was a success as far as vacations go, the type where you stay home. I can't wait to see where my sleep schedule lands after 6 days...that might be painful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiro Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It's been nice so far being on this mini vacation from work due to surgery. True, I can't eat everything I want to eat, but it's great being able to do all of the things I never had time to do before. Going to the park with my dog, drawing, watching movies, relaxing, and just going wherever my mind takes me really. I know it's not a realistic mindset to be in, but I've never felt this free in quite some time. Life is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is hard to spell, but it is a rare name, which includes a 'kn' digraph that most English people are unable pronounce. (Most English people would say 'King Ka-noot' instead of 'King Knut') As a result most pronounce the 'kn' noise as 'kl' and will write a word that includes that spelling, instead of my real name. In addition to that English speakers struggle with the vowel sounds in my name, so they usually get at least one of them wrong too. I wouldn't even mind, but this mistake regularly means that I can't get access to official documents about myself, and security guards have even tried to eject me from private events because my name on their books is spelled wrong.
