[Hal-9000]

Sun is really bright here and I just watched a jet contrail fly right past it.

I guess I shouldn't be looking right at hJ^CRE%$ 6%sgdnmn kdkk amm.

jfu|?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It didn't get any darker than around early dusk here, it was still pretty bright out. The thing that was really neat was you could feel the difference in temperature, it easily dropped 15 degrees outside.

[DemonGeminiX]

It's starting to get dark out over here.

[DemonGeminiX]

And it's completely overcast here. Wouldn't be able to see it even if I did have glasses. It's probably as dark as it's going to get right now... and it just looks like a storm is brewing.

[Hal-9000]

We've been having a bright, sunny day. The shadows did something weird about an hour ago, like it was later in the fall season. Other than that, wouldn't know an eclipse happened at all.

[DemonGeminiX]

Now I'm glad I didn't get those stupid glasses.

[Hal-9000]

We had an eclipse when I was in grade eight. Me and a girl went out and looked directly at the sun after all of the warnings. I didn't need reading glasses until I was 45 :lol:

[Pony]

It's over.
The virgin sacrifice went smoothly as well.

[DemonGeminiX]

And what did you ask for during the ritual sacrifice?

[Hal-9000]

Is it just me or is August the longest and most boring month? :wha:

:slap:

It's just you. August is one of my favorite months of the year.

[Pony]

Prosperity and more virgins, they're getting scarce.

Everything living is in full bloom, the weather is nice, days are not too long and there's a certain kind of peace to it.

Ya ya I know, you can hardly wait for 14 foot snow drifts and -20 weather.

So I have been driving for (a large internet retailer). This morning, I am there to load. In front of me is a millennial, behind me is a fat black woman. As the black woman pulls in behind me, she pulls up too far leaving no room for me to load. I gesture with my finger that she needs to back up and she gets shitty with me, barking "you mind if I straighten my car first?!?" And leaves about a foot behind (so still no room to load). I shook my head, laughed at her, and rolled my eyes. She got out with a shitty attitude.

I am fully loaded and ready to go. The black woman is maybe 25% done and the millennial is acting like he needs to inspect and analyze every package before placing it in it's perfect spot, also far behind. :| I am just standing there. He finally places the last package, and I'm like "alright, good, let's go to fucking work!". Then he closes the door, does not move out of my way, and goes to the bathroom. You fucking fuck. :| Fatty McBlackerson is still not done. jesus.

I weave my way to get out to go work, leaving both lazy unproductive asses in the warehouse.

I'm a dinosaur. But a dinosaur who finishes my routes early almost every shift.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm out a luck, out a love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I want to touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

I want to get into Tool, I just don't know where to start. The few songs I've listened to have been pretty different, I didn't immediately like it TBH but all of my buddies go craaazy when they come to town. Apparently their show here last month was phenomenal.

[DemonGeminiX]

Start with the albums:

Opiate (EP)
Undertow
Aenima
Lateralus
10000 Days

There's a live album called Salival that goes in there somewhere, but as I'm generally not a fan of live albums, I don't own it.

Personally, my favorite album is Aenima.

Also Maynard sings for A Perfect Circle as well, so you may want to pick up or download those albums. Thirteenth Step is a fantastic album from start to finish.

Try some individual tracks, these are some of their more well known stuff. Give it a chance and I bet you will like it.

They're saying it could dump up to 3 FUCKING FEET of rain along the coast and quite a ways inland :shock:

[DemonGeminiX]

Hurricanes are no joke. When Matthew came through last year, our downtown area was flooded. For a few days, all of our piers were underwater and people were kayaking down where the streets were.

[Hal-9000]

3 feet of rain????

I've only been involved in one flood, June 2013 in our fair city. It was surreal to see our entire downtown area locked down and impassable. Our river banks only rose a couple of feet and that was enough to shut down part of our city. I helped move food and supply boxes for two days and even seeing a low level flood was enough.

I can't imagine hurricanes, tsunamis....that degree of water and storms.

I don't think the guys watching have fought much themselves or understand boxing. A guy who fights in a completely different sport just went 10 rounds with the best boxer in the class. There was no schooling or knock out.

Agreed, Conor's stamina looked lacking near the end but I doubt you'll find anyone who genuinely believed he'd stand and fight for 10 rounds. It was great.

Also, god is Floyd ever a boring boxer :lol: I think people are relieved he said that's his last fight.

He said his 49th was his last fight as well. If the purse is big enough, I'm sure the whore will come back for 51.

So we have a black garbage bin, a blue recycling bin and now a new green composting bin. Three different trucks come along to pick up their bin.

Every time the dude picks up the composting, I find the bin laying on its side in the middle of the alley. I've seen the trucks, it's an automated clamp that he can see from the cab.

I wonder if I should complain? They make me pay an extra 7 bucks per month for the privilege..

Good to hear Kev. I can't believe the reports of how much rain came down in some places. Measured in tonnage, not inches or feet.

And conversely, for the first time in 52 years our lawn turned brown and went dormant this summer. No natural disaster, just a few light winters and no precipitation all year. We have a typically dry climate but this has gone past unusual.

I know you're joking but it is the little things. In 2013 I helped with our flood and worked in an area that looked exactly like that picture. Water almost up to your knees. They told us to wear clothes we could throw away afterwards and supplied us with rubber boots. I was unloading trucks by hand, walking the boxes over to a raised area for a couple of days.

Day two the Army Navy truck shows up, gives out hip waders, gloves and boots...and there was much rejoicing from us, the helpers.

Our flood was nothing like the Houston flood, but people living on the river still lost their homes to damage or paid thousands to renovate. There were a couple of underground parking garages downtown. They filled up...cars within started floating around and banging into each other. Our flood happened over the space of a few hours...and people were evacuated immediately without choice or discussion. So at that moment, it was the little things that mattered. Hot meals, tents being donated, people with homes outside of the flood area opening their doors to strangers to sleep over for a few days. Some of the support was pretty cool to hear about.

[RBP]

would the us accept help? No, it shows weakness also, nobody likes their offer of help declined

can any other country offer anything that the us can't provide or access itself? no

#quityourwhining

We routinely turn down assistance.

[KevinD]

River is supposed to crest tonight. Finally have found some pics of our subdivision. Doesn't look good. Guaranteed garage flooded, most likely guest house did (that I just almost finished renovating). With a bit of luck, main house won't have water in it. Hope to make an exploratory trip home tomorrow or fri.
My brother in law works as a field tech for verizon. He's sorta near the area, and spent the last few hours trying to get to my neighborhood. Can't get there due to road closures

You might like our salami and the liver's all right
And they'd really go well with the rye

Wife, faughter, animals and important documents all evacuated to San Antonio thursday last week before Harvery made land fall. I got here Tues. So, just drink beer, swimming in pool, playing guitar and generally hanging out till can get home. Luckily I'm just starting my days off, so I'll have all next week to deal with things.

I get a bad neck after sleeping from my tooth occlusion being so crappy...I feel your pain daily :|

sometimes if you stand up and bring your hands with straight arms from your waist to meet over your head and touch quickly (palms flat and out), then back down and repeat a few times vigorously...you can unkink your neck a bit

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It's been sore and stiff for awhile, it's just extra painful today. I'll give that a try though :thumbsup:

it's weird but if you can force a kind of chiro release, it can eliminate quite a bit of stiffness and pain

Around 40 dollars give or take depending on which side of the border you're on.

Oh man :lol: Depth doesn't even begin to cover this game. I did a few tutorials and was lost on the 'simple' explanations just trying to get a basic ship into orbit. It's essentially this huge sandbox game where you create vehicles, complete missions and contracts, and do science experiments to gain points and advance in a tech tree of parts. Failure is expected and happens often, thereby creating your learning curve. I got lost when they explained the apoapsis and periapsis of orbits :lol:

Imagine this - In sandbox mode you can choose any part you want and click it on the vehicle. Then, you right click on the part and can adjust a myriad of things within the part. Thrusters, decouplers, boosters, electrical devices, burn ratios...knowing what to do and when to do it is half the battle.

I created a simple two stage rocket with the intent of a suborbital flight (launch the rocket, go up a few kilometers, burn all fuel and come back down using a parachute) and three hours later I got the staging correct so my fuel tank didn't jettison at the same time my parachute opened :lol: On my first attempt at achieving orbit, they made me build a ship and it had five stages I had to organize. Staging is what order you put things in during a chain of events.

I can't relay here how complex or deep this game is. There's a sandbox mode with all parts and tech trees available, a science mode where you learn how to build rockets and collect science data, and a career mode where you earn money and science points to advance in the game.

Oh yeah...there are Kerbal pilots, scientists, engineers that look cute (think Minions with green faces) and you take them on missions. They gain experience from doing EVA's outside of the craft and experiments (and living through missions). There's an inflight graphic of their face when flying and the expressions are hilarious depending on what you're doing. I put one pilot in a 17G spin, because I wasn't using the pitch, yaw and attitude controls properly and his look was pure :shock:

You can also build planes and other vehicles. There is an entire solar system of planets and moons they want you to visit. Since I can't even get my ghetto trashcan into orbit, it will probably be weeks before I can attempt career mode and leave the planet.

[Godfather]

KSP is fun but the learning curve was too steep for me to put any real time into it :lol:

[Hal-9000]

KSP is fun but the learning curve was too steep for me to put any real time into it :lol:

Man they put those Minion-type guys on the interface explanations and I think - This is going to be gay and super cutesy, what a waste.

I start the tutorials around 8:30 last night....look at the clock again and it's 12:30..and I haven't even got a ship into orbit yet :lol:

Youtube vid with an astronaut trying to play it and he's amazed at the realworld physics and tweaking necessary for lift, fuel use and steps involved to achieve orbit. Did you know that getting into orbit is simply trying to overshoot a mark and then falling in controlled manner until physics help the craft stabilize? :lol: Ya, me too...

[Godfather]

I saw that astronaut vid :lol: He definitely had an advantage, but damn is that game still ever hard.

Hal you playing anything else recently? If I remember right you're not so big on online games, but I'm loving Playerunknown's Battlegrounds right now. Basically 100 players in 1, 2 or 4 man teams all parachute from a plane onto a 2km x 2km open island with small towns and villages where you have to loot houses and pick up weapons, ammo and other gear, and find vehicles to move around. The playable zone slowly shrinks forcing you to fight closer and closer to each other. Last team or man standing wins the round (usually takes around 20-30 mins a game if you survive till the end). It's hilarious and surprisingly intense near the end.

[Hal-9000]

Naw my life took a left turn a couple of years ago so I had to ensure I didn't fall into the pit of self despair and go online constantly. So I backed away from posting and game playing.

That said I've put over 1300 hours into Skyrim Steam tells me :lol:

I only game about two hours per week and found some little cool games like Inside and Limbo. Google 'Limbo pc game' and check out the simplistic side scrolling black and white graphics. You have to figure out how to get the boy from left to right in each screen and it's probably one of the most atmospheric and best games I've played :thumbsup:

The game you mention above looks intense. I still don't play online much, but I did throw in Battlefield Vietnam on my last install, just for old time's sake.

May have to face facts and never get a spaceship into space. Now I know what fckn North Korea feels like :lol:

Can you cheat a little and watch a youtube video on getting an intro rocket into space? I played this game where you build catapults for a while and found it really helped jump start my imagination in the game.

There's a Scottish guy named Scott Manley who is an astronomer and has done just that, about 15 how-to Youtube videos on KSP :thumbsup:

He makes it look effortless but it still doesn't fill in the blanks as to when (and why) you use a retrograde burn at 65% or when you need three solid fuel tanks and a decoupler rather than liquid fuel :lol:

Tip: If you have a wireless USB mouse and you have the dongle plugged into a back USB port of your desktop computer, and the mouse is having a dodgy performance, skipping, not clicking, jumping all over the place... if you have a front USB port, plug the dongle into that instead and your issues should clear up. I don't know why, but I'm thinking that the electronics inside the computer (possibly a wireless internet connection?) is causing havoc/interfering with the wireless signal your mouse needs to do its thing.

That's what happened to me.

I already had the oil changed earlier this month. They told me it was fine, but the exhaust system will need to be looked at in a little while. It's making a little noise when I start the car up. But it's nothing detrimental. Maybe a little corrosion in the catalytic converter. It can wait. It's not hurting the car's operation any. I'm good for a little road trip.


Don't go, stick it to The Man :hand:

I'm gonna wait and see where this thing curves to. If she comes up into Florida like the models have been projecting, I'll head out on Saturday or Sunday. I'll know by Saturday night/Sunday morning. I'll probably have to push out to Alabama or up to Tennessee. It seems everything's booked up, hotel-wise, in Georgia away from the coast. I couldn't find anything in North Georgia. I'll check the hotels in the Panhandle again in a day or so.

The current forecast line has it slamming into the southeastern part of Florida down by Miami, then curving back out to the Atlantic and up into Savannah/South Carolina. If that holds, we'll get some heavy winds and a some flooding. I'm not sure how much flooding, because when Matthew swung by last year, I was in a house closer to the coastline and the ground was barely wet the day after when we got home, and the house was fine. That was ground level. I think the brunt of the surge was taken by the base and the barrier islands. There was a little flooding downtown, but nowhere near where I was. The house I'm in now is supposedly on higher ground and further away from the coast by 10-15 miles.

Regardless, if I have to move, I'll be like Fievel and go west.

Guess I should get ready to skedaddle.

Glad you're heading out. Godspeed.

Stay safe Demon (and Muddy) if it heads that way. If want to make road trip to Houston area, no longer have guest house, but have wheelchair friendly home, and a guest bedroom you're welcome to.

Actually, if current projections hold, then my ass ain't going anywhere. It's currently forecast to weaken as it moves up the Florida peninsula and reach here as a category 1 hurricane or a tropical storm. I've slept through both of those in the past.

I'll keep an eye on the projections.

[DemonGeminiX]

I do appreciate the offer Kev.

[Muddy]

Careful, Muddy... that monster turns a little more north and you're ass is in the wind too!

Im totally giving him shit. :)

Yeah, it got about 2 inches in it. Just enough to ruin new flooring I'd put down. Verdict is still out on subfloor. Will see what it looks like when I get back from work in a couple weeks. Removed flooring and baseboards already. Just waiting for it to dry out.

I do appreciate the offer Kev.
No worries. It's an open invite.

Oh. Had about 2ft water in garage. Lost lots of power tools. Gas cans spilled over, and used oil containers overflowed, so that's everywhere.

Was there drywall and insulation on the walls that got wet? That stuff will wick up a couple feet and cause mold inside the wall.

Shit. What a mess.
