Beds and benches, things which are a fixed distance in all possible orientations. A helpful unit of measurement.

blunt posted:"The left will complain about anything" I am genuinely confused at how 1 bed can equal 2 benches with any combination of sizes and orientations of the two, especially if the sum is supposed to be 2 meters. Like maybe a single bed is two bench-depths wide?? Are london benches particularly short? Also while I'm complaining about things I like that my compulsive editing appears to have broken the forums such that if you quote my previous post it does not give you what is visible on the page.

Catte update: Digby has spent most of today upside down, with his head and forelegs at 180* to his hind legs. We think he’s doing better- for him spines are very much a thing that happen to other people. Bob has a Popeye face and is a grumpy sod, but the grumpiness is at least normal. Vets bills are totally covered and my wife is finally smiling again, because this thread is full of loving wonderful human beings. Now I’m off for a long walk in the sun with an extremely large joint, because life doesn’t seem as loving horrid today.  Cooking the first batch of sweet goodness tomorrow! Edit: naturally, the moment I tried to take a picture he straightened himself out

There's also like 10 different common types of chair that are all different sizes. A school chair? Office chair? Dining table chair? Bean bag? Throne? Gamer chair? Those weird egg chair things?

You already know this, because you're a rational and literate adult. Complaining about trivia only undercuts our complaints about substantive issues. We (the left) all complain about trivia too much. blunt fucked around with this message at 12:52 on May 22, 2020 |

Stay a goose length apart, i.e. the distance you would stay from a goose before it starts hissing at you.

I find it slightly bizzare to believe that trivial complaints are not an effective argument in the face of, like, the entire last five years.

I've been mixing up being in a long Zoom call with turning my camera off and playing Football Manager this morning, keeping an ear out for anything that may require me to refocus my attentions. I'm not usually this lazy, but I am in no way a 'working from home' kind of person.

I'm sat outside my work eating lunch managed to get a few things sorted (limit capacity in the lab, cut it up into zones etc.) but still not great at least it's pretty much just me in there today two of the other people who use it (not on my team) are going to get us all fuckkng ill tho, they're still going to customer sites, don't social distance from each other and you can't even get one of them to wear safety goggles or not eat in there, so I have little hope that they will manage to not gently caress it up the other one of them is old and had some sort of pneumonia thing a couple of years ago, so probably not a great idea for him either! I'm even less productive than I was before I think, when I'm in the lab I'm like "they're making me get up and come to work in the middle of a pandemic so cba" and when I'm at home I'm like "every other day I have to get up and go to work so cba"

So apparently the house a few doors down have been getting billed for our landline calls for the past few years, they told Virgin yesterday, and so Virgin are apparently coming to sort it out tomorrow. Does anyone know what that's going to involve, and if the internet/TV connection is going to be affected at all?

for some reason the last time we had a general catch-up zoom they insisted I turned my loving camera on, just like "oh we can't see you? where are you?" and like why? who gives a gently caress, I don't want to see any of your faces and I literally just got out of bed in time for this pointless conversation no one ever turns it on in our lab ones

winegums posted:Didn't Blizz allegedly approach them initially to make WoW with the warhams IP? I know they were very late to that party and failed. Still, Total War: Warhams is doing pretty well. ro5s posted:I don’t know if it was ever confirmed, the story is that Warcraft and Starcraft were licensed games until GW pulled out and blizz put a new coat of paint over them and put them out. The story for years was that GW were involved in some way, then Blizzard retconned it that 'nuhuh we thought of it ourselves'. The problem with GW was that they didn't want a 'proper' game made. If it had to be made, it has to be tabletop like, not fit the mechanics of whatever it is. So you get shite like Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War released in 1999 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eKzHRTpJkM for gameplay) when you had several Command and Conquers released already. Nowadays they seem to allow any lovely app maker to make games, as long as it has microtransactions.

It's hard enough to connect with people properly over zoom though. Having video compensates for this significantly by letting you read people's emotions better and also makes it less likely you'll talk over each other. We've found it pretty nice in our team to see everyone, especially during the period of hardcore lockdown when human interaction was fairly minimal. Zoom even lets you hide your gooncave with a virtual background so it's pretty unobtrusive.

I think I saw that a meeting host can turn off the virtual backgrounds (though they might not know they can). I use VBs but also try to make sure that the camera is pointing at something bland just in case.
