bigdamnhero Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Awhile back I set up a Yahoo group for my Champions campaign. Works well, makes it easy for us to share files, coordinate calendars, etc. But what cracks me up is that every time I log on to the site, or get an email through the group, it contains ads for "Champion Juicer!" "Champion Backgammon" or "Hyatt Grand Champions Resort & Spa." I'm sure there's a scenario in there somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings So I see the end of season 2 of NCIS. In the penultimate episode one of the main agents almost dies from plague, then in the finale the lead female agent is killed after the agents spend the episode trying to stop an attack on service people's families. Shock value is one thing but was it really necessary ? Also Planet Earth last night we saw lions bringing down an elephant to eat. Some wonderful photography of nature.

Enforcer84 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings So, yeah, my branch is getting it's audit today, on my day off. And I don't know how we did. Since my job is basically "Making sure we pass" I am a little nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings During the rectification of the Vuldronaii the Traveller came as a large, moving Torb. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a new form for him--that of a giant Sloar. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Two geeky items of the day.... "Retrocausality" ... new funny word. Outtake: "Here's where it gets weird." Link Entrely unrelated: reading an abstract where a "fast algorithm" is described for performing a certain task, with asymptotic complexity O(L^5) (seems to be a cheat, because L is the square root of the number of points, so that makes it O(n^10)?). The purported use of this algorithm is finding features in the map of the cosmic microwave background, and use of it to solve that problem "reduce from years to tens of seconds in both implementations on a single standard computer".

Tim Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I'm scared to game again. I picked up my Supernova Heroclix today. I got 3 bricks (36 boosters), I got all the uniques without a duplicate, and even got the Colonel America Marvel Zombie fig. I am also only missing 4 figures from having a complete set. I'm afraid I've used up all my luck for the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
