  • I love how pangolins always look like they're a viceroy/chancellor about to give the king bad news.

  • Yeah, that's the kind of frog sound I've always known to be most prominent. I was also wondering just how much the most common species in a region affects the onomatopoeia, along with the language used.

  • Forums lost so much when PhotoBucket died. An entire era of images is gone.

  • Two trees fell on the roof, and that let all the rain in. It is just crazy. Lots and lots of really hard to find retro gaming stuff was lost.

  • I'm not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I'm likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.

  • Water fowl are jerks.

  • Triumph got a chance to really shine there, lol

  • I have never been anywhere close to academia, hell I don't have a degree at all. However, I am very aware of the bullshit that goes on with publishing. Oddly enough, I occasionally need to read papers on material science or metallurgy.

    From my limited experience and understanding, there is no journal for null findings. Isn't that equally important? Tempted to just make something basic for that.

    Anyway, to the point of the post - please seed.

  • No. There was a tiny old woman that was just sitting there silently though.

  • Copyright happens as soon as you make the thing. There is no legal process involved.

  • I'd say at least 8 inches deep.

  • I ordered a keyboard replacement. This thing is a serious pain. The power switch is directly part of the keyboard. Under that button is nothing but silver paint for the contacts, which had firmed a crack over time.

    The worst part? Above the keyboard is a thin piece of sheet metal. It is "riveted" on by melting a fee dozen plastic standoff that affixed the metal piece by melting the tips of them. I spent an hour carefully popping them off with a screwdriver. The replacement keyboard fits (good news!), but I have to carefully use a soldering iron to melt the tops of these pieces back into "rivets."

    On the plus side, I have upgraded the RAM and added a hard drive. If it POSTs at the end of this, I will have 16gb of RAM and a 4 to add, which will let me ditch the external drive.

  • I'm not that far north, but yeah. It is highly unusual.

  • I had to wait an hour to vote today in my area with a relatively small population (NW area of GA). That's never happened before, at least not with early voting.
