Hey wow, I drew that. (well, mostly Chris did - I did the trees, based on Domesday and a couple of other documents).

It left me wanting pound my head into the counter repeatedly.

I thought this was already decided? I'm sorry, regardless, I just thought that this was already the way things were going to be.
 
Best of luck in any case.
 
And of course to tkdguy and Alice for their situations.
 
And OM, hope you can inflict some destruction without getting caught!

Re: The cranky thread
 
Grr.
 
I'm adjunct faculty at a local university's Physics Department. This term I taught a survey-level astronomy course. Yes, Solar System astronomy.
 
I give an observing exercise. Very simple. It takes about an hour to do from a standing start. You have to observe the moon. (We really need a moon icon in the smiley set.) I give it the first week of the term, collect it the last week of the term, and I threaten the students weekly and let them know that doing it is their responsibility, weather be damned. In 2.5 months they will sure enough get the hour they need.
 
I don't care so much what answer they get; the procedure, by its nature, is flawed, so only under ideal conditions (which aren't actually that hard to come by, but never mind that) will they get the correct answer. It's the performance of the exercise that counts. I never mark people down for the wrong answer, just for doing things incorrectly.
 
But ... when someone dry-labs it, fakes the data, makes it up ... and I catch them at it ...
 
Although the principle for academic honesty penalties is more or less the same everywhere, the details are always different, and the details matter. So when I found the idiot who faked his data on Sunday evening, it chews up about half a day of my life as I figure out what i's I have to dot and what t's I have to cross before I can toast his lazy, cheating ass to the maximum extent the school regs allow. Because if I have to waste a half day or more of my life to penalize some guilty-of-incestuous-rape low-life, I sure as hell am going to ask for more than a slap on the wrist for my trouble.
 
Unfortunately, no one's regs allow things I want to give ... the pit of starving rabid weasels ... the hornets' nest enema ... re-entry from low orbit with only a vacuum suit ...
 
Grr.

Check the exact contents of the "Fat burner" and research them. afaik, most of those are full of stimulants, and they can cause "interesting" emotional swings.

I posted this one before, but it was so long ago, it's hard to find. This explains reputation points:

Argh! Bad looping MIDI! Nooo!
 
You know, as well as a popup-blocker, I want a backround audio blocker. I've never found a website where that was a good idea!

Re: Rep Points?
 
I agree. "Reputation beyond reproach" sounds right. And reputation is just a game, although it can be fun to play (kinda like playing the lottery).

Still... that's the way you should do it. Legally safe self-defense protection ahead of the fact. If he pressed his point, then witnesses could say "hey, he said he couldn't help him, and this guy kept getting in his face."

Re: keyes bill is anti christ
 
Sorry to hear you're so stressed, TKD, wish there was something I could do to help.
 
I know how it feels, though. I'm getting tired of my phone ringing with my creditors on the other end, and knowing I can't give them anything because we threw all our additional cash into getting a car fixed that now we can't even drive.
 
If I had anything I didn't mind beating the crap out of, I'd be venting on it right now. Since I can't do that, I'm waging war on an infidel faction in Medieval: Total War, and assassinating anyone who comes too close to my provinces.

Re: The cranky thread
 

 
You know, I used to worry about rep. Then I realized that If I wanted rep, I needed to give it out more often. So I stoped worriying, and give out rep when I find a rep worthy post and have some to spare.

Re: The cranky thread
 
Ya know... most people complaining about rep here have very little to complain about. The majority of my rep comes from Lemming. He's repped me 5 times in total. And the last one was back in June. And some others there post very well and don't complain about their lack of rep and they've got less than I do.

Re: The cranky thread
 
It's been over two weeks now and the swelling still hasn't gone down. But what is happening is that it's draining into my leg, so I have supremely ugly bruising down the inside of my calf and into my heel and foot.
 
Hey Rebecca, feel free to include my ugly leg in your pleas. Also put in a word for Klytus and tkdguy for me, since they have actual health issues they've been dealing with lately.

Have you been eating right?
 
Are you coming down with the Sinus bug that is going around?
 
Good luck.
