Yup, just read the same thing. First Chyna, now Prince. I know people die every second but it's sad to be reminded of it so frequently.

okay so

it turns out d20s made of ice don't photograph very well, but it was cool, honest!

Photographing anything transparent or translucent is a real hassle and requires a bunch of additional props and stuff to look good. I've used my mind's eye to imagine said ice dice and they are indeed very cool :grin:

farmers used to grade produce good, fair, middling, ordinary, and poor so if you were fair to middling you were just a smidge above average

Ah, that makes a lot more sense, I incorrectly interpreted middling as a verb, and thought 2016 had been a favorable year to middle.

Hey Matoi Ryuko, the longest actually meaningful palindrome in the Finnish language is 'saippuakivikauppias', which literally means a salesman who sells caustic soda to the soap industry.

My favorite multi-word one is ' "Iso rikos! Taas sikatappo toppatakissa," Aatso kirosi '
Which is roughly ' "Major crime! Once again a swine was slain by someone wearing a quilted jacket," Aatso cursed '

Finnish is a hosed up language...

My father was stressed out because of a mistake he'd made at work. I told him to embrace his mistakes. He burst into tears and hugged me

Finally here are some playlists by a guy who has a rather decent voice reading awful fanfictions, tumblr posts and the like. It sometimes manages to make me feel better when I'm having Brain Problems.

to turn the cringe-meter all the way to max I should at this time mention that I'm actually saving up to get magnet implants in my fingers in one hand to gain a new sense, which would, technically, make me a cyborg I guess

MrWillsauce posted:

well just think of all the stuff you could do with a robotic taint... it could do math for you, shoot lasers, store your memories, log onto byob, analyze stuff like a tricorder, play music... and all in a spot where no one would ever know you're a cyborg in case the luddites get scared and decide to purge us.

That's actually a really good idea, especially when you consider this dude:

what are you all making for dinner

It's almost 1 am here so no dinner, but I ate a banana before bed to try and avoid another night of unexpected muscle cramps. I also had ginger and lemon flavored green tea which was p good.

If I was making dinner I'd probably add some bell pepper, cheese and tuna to a pack of instant noodles and season it with soy sauce and sesame seeds.

Luvcow posted:

tonic water for cramps (its the quinine), i keep a bottle in my car and one in my house for muscle cramps.

Oh yeah, the banana was just for luck, I drank 1½liters of special muscle-themed mineral water containing a bunch of magnesium, potassium and calcium earlier in the day. I have hella night cramps in my thighs due to a new medication, so this might become a daily meal item for a while.

socratic irony is pretending you don't understand something and having someone teach you about it, but secretly asking questions designed to undermine their arguments and knowledge of the subject.

He had problems starting out due to lack of experience, made change to remedy this but not the right changes (still aimed to close at 3pm,closed during holidays like July 4th etc.), started a side business fixing motors or something, had problems with that too, had a social media meltdown and officially shut both businesses down early this year, removed his Facebook account after selling his remaining stock and some appliances through there.

It seems to be the fate of all webcomics, even the ones that started out good.

I think it's the same reason 99% of Calvin & Hobbes is awesome, and Garfield is like playing Russian Roulette with a revolver with five bullets in it. There were few enough C&H, and there are like 500k Garfield strips.

I spent the last week agonising over schoolwork, but now (almost) everything is finally done, and summer holiday is almost on (I need to make up for a test I missed and return a few papers still), 3 months of chilling and enjoying life.

What'd I miss? What's everybody up to?
I just ate some awesome sushi, and am now chilling with an ice cold glass of Pepsi Max and listening to classic hip-hop while watching the clouds float by outside.
