I am sure there are less painful ways to anaesthesize someone. With a large hammer, for instance.

What does "doing the pyrotechnics" refer to? I'm not too much of an expert on idiom.

I hope he returns at all. He didn't seem too fond of this entire place in the first place, and being banned, even temporarily, possibly does nothing to improve that.

Trolls are, for the most part, so utterly useless that I am bewildered anyone would want to talk about them. I don't see any discussions on whether people prefer emails from Nigerian orphan princes or Cialis sellers - why do we have that discussion for the message board equivalent?

Is post count that important to people? :confused:

The posts will still be counted in your monthly count - won't they? I'd hate to think of all of the posts I might have lost.

Trolls are good for one thing alone: Getting your post count up without spamming!

- Archmagi Micael
That depends. Did the post count below your signature take a dip? If it didn't, then those posts will be there.

However, the hourly General postcount that tells me such nice things as current daily average, trends, posting peaks, 24-hour-spread by time, etc. will be affected. Ah well, I haven't kept track of that since March anyway. ;)

There's nothing I enjoy more than acomplishing the tasks before me. Motivation inevidably leads to contentedness when all the work is done.

I have been quite grumpy of late for not have the knowledge required for my present tasks, but motivation leads me to learn and as long as I'm learning I know I'm on the right path to contentedness. The thought of which contains it's own level of comfort.
I guess that's pretty similar to my "Ambition" thing... :)

Or, more accurately, that more Spiderwebbers use PCs than Macs, the first of which can run Homeland, the latter of which can run Galactic Core. So naturally, Homeland is more unpopular than GC.

The most fun part is falling asleep with the thing on. I once fell asleep with Nine Inch Nails looping and woke up to Closer. Quite an interesting experience, I must say.
That makes me even more certain I'm not going to buy one of those evil things. Oh no, precious.

Sounds like Thuryl is more extreme than me, but I also used to be pretty indifferent to music. I would put on a CD and quite enjoy it, and vow that I should do that more often. A couple of months later I'd do the same thing again.

But it turns out it was just that I have a very low tolerance for the effort involved in choosing a CD and getting it playing. Now I have an iPod and I use it almost every day.
And my PC playlist is around 36 hours long. I still sometimes listen to CDs, but rarely.

Uh... ditto.

Though this is the first time I've actually encountered such a taste. Most people I know prefer some certain kind of music, and some claim the music they prefer is the only thing that is actually music, but I'm surprised to hear someone say they don't like any kind of music at all.

He is otherwise known as Dios or Senlias. Like many other folks, he is here pretty irregularly, and the last time I saw him post was a few weeks ago on Polaris.

Yes, but commonly not at any depths you could comfortably swim in, suit or no, unless you're a microbe.

Of course, I am ready to stand corrected by the resident physicists.

Edit: Okay, I seem to have been right:

quote:
Wikipedia:

"superfluid helium can form a layer, a single atom thick, up the sides of any container it is placed in."
Thus, the microbe still turned out to be far too large. It also seems to work with a capillary tube (fountain effect), but a capillary tube is *still* far smaller than anything you'd fit into. Even as a salmon.

Or, of course, admit that borth are true (attractive and liking), and put the ball back in the accuser's court by asking what the hell is wrong with that... :P

The point to remember, of course, is not that one must not like someone for being attractive, but one must not base one's liking on that factor solely.

Pretty much identical to the one I practice with, or at least very similar.

Edit: Trouble with the URL. What would I do without Logalot?`

Edit:

A very crappy recording of Prelude XII in F minor by Bach. I'll play it again when I'm at home - it's much better now.
