I'd 100% agree if the pyramids werent in sync. They emerged at the same time at opposite sides of the world. Unless those sides somehow had communication i dont see it happening at the same time.


Also today my Simforge pedals shipped!

 

The wait is over. You can now purchase the ultimate . . .

 

You know what else looks like a pyramid?

 

All i'm saying is there are a lot of unexplained "coincidences"

 

Was he/she colour blind?
On one of the software projects I worked on years ago, our "GUI guy" was using hideous colour combinations that he thought were "fabulous" - almost everybody disagreed with him.
This prompted everyone on the project to have a colour-blindness test, we all wanted to know how good/bad we were, and he turned out to the most colour-blind guy on the team, there were several combinations he couldn't determine the difference, not just one or two (ironic for a GUI guy).
Males suffer colour-blindness more than females, so guys, if a woman tells you you have no fashion sense, you may actually be colour-blind, not just a bad dresser (you could be both though!)

 

I don't think so.

Most of this stuff this lady turns out is really good. But she's one of those people who, when presented with a unique and novel idea, tends to go *way* overboard on the first pass.

Fortunately, she knows that she's insane, and takes critique well.

Most of the rest of the graphics for the channel are quite pleasing, in a suitably nostalgic way. My favorite is one of the late-80s packages, which has a sort of "washed-out rainbow" look, like the sleeve of a BASF videocassette, or a Polaroid color film pack.



Also, here is a photo which an old classmate sent me, of her being attacked by a duck:



She owns this duck, mind you.

 

 

 

I'm not supposed to post internal company communications, but this one's just too good to pass up.






I mentioned Rewind a few posts ago. This email just went out about the launch party.

Given that my everyday work attire is straight out of Magnum PI, I'm not sure how I should approach the "best 80s costume" request.

 

You're safe. It's not even showing up for me.

 

I love how 96% of the time, the forum software automatically ingests images which you paste directly into the composition window.

And then 4% of the time, it just creates a hotlink to where the image came from, even if it's a local source which will never be resolvable to anyone but you, and doesn't tell you that it failed to ingest, and the image still shows up in the composition window, so you assume everything is working normally.

Just more proof that Internet Brands is owned and staffed entirely by patriarchal, racist, transphobic ***** who pulled the wings off of flies as children, and now want us all to be sad as teenagers.


EDIT: Also, it occurs to me that a heck of a lot of the people who will be there had not been born when most of this programming was in first-run syndication.

 

 

Add a life jacket and go with Marty McFly

Now, please help me. I see Mork and Mindy, (I think 227), and Who's da Boss. What's the other one? It looks awful, like "Training for Karens".

I am too intoxicated to figure out embedding this YT vid, and it doesn't matter because even if I did, the next time it wouldn't work because -- TRUF: "Internet Brands is owned and staffed entirely by patriarchal, racist, transphobic ***** who pulled the wings off of flies as children, and now want us all to be sad as teenagers."

Great, now I look nuts. But using the Preview Post *air ******* quotes* functionality *air ******* quotes* it didn't digest the link and make anything useful out of it.

Now for a definition!

At the office, using Chrome, a lot of times the pics are blank, and videos are blocked. If I'm using Firefox through my VPN at home, I sometimes just get a line about 20 characters wide, where the post should be, especially from Braineack. If I switch to Epic Browser, I usually see everything, but I get these popups from Anyclip, even through my VPN, that I can't turn off or block, even though the popup blocker is on. Chrome seems to show everything at home through the VPN, but the Anyclip thing is there. I can close it, but it comes back when I switch forums. MTNet is a complete frickin' mess without the VPN.

 

I started using Brave when my other browsers would not load pics, seems to have corrected the problem.

 

I have no idea.

I don't actually watch any our programming, I just make sure that it's present, in-sync, has sound and captions, is running at the expected datarate, and is otherwise technically correct. 1







The book Machine of Death was recently released by the author under a free license. They even distribute it as a PDF, which you can access here: http://machineofdeath.net/pdf/MachineofDeath_FINAL.pdf

A synopsis, from Wikipedia: All of the stories featured in Machine of Death center around a device which, when provided with a blood sample, can identify the way a person will die. The machine relays this information by printing a short word or phrase, which serves as the title of each story, on a small card. The machine is never wrong, but often vague or cryptic.

 

If you're like me, you've been wondering what happens if you pitch a baseball at mach 1.3.

Now we know:
