Zoophilia in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, April 24 2006 21:51 Profile Homepage #15 quote: Originally written by The Worst Man Ever: Homosexuality is unnatural; it's an extreme enough deviation from the norms of human sexuality that it is almost certainly evidence of underlying psychological problems. You are within your legal and personal rights to be a homosexual, obviously, and I do not feel I have any standing to prevent you from committing sodomy. However, I would respectfully urge that you seek psychiatric help. Something's wrong with you and it's doubtful that homosexuality is the only symptom of that.

Earth Day (belated) in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, April 24 2006 19:16 Profile Homepage #6 Anti-environmentalists argue that it's natural for the climate and species balance in ecosystems to change over time, so we shouldn't be alarmed by the fact that that's currently happening. That's a fair enough argument, as far as it goes. But extinction is also natural, and to expect that humans will be immune to it is sheer hubris. We're in the middle of what is unarguably a global mass extinction, almost certainly caused primarily by us. It's very unlikely that anything we can do will scour the planet clear of life, but it may not be so hard to make global environmental conditions incompatible with the survival of the human species if we don't make an effort to avoid doing so. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Stereotypically Yours in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, April 24 2006 06:22 Profile Homepage #6 Capsulin is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor expressed in the mesenchyme of organs including the lungs, stomach, spleen, facial muscles, heart, kidneys and gonads during development, and is involved in the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions (Lu et al., 2000). It interacts with the widely expressed bHLH transcription factors E12 and E47 (both of which are splicing variants of E2A) to form heterodimers that bind to DNA at a specific E-box consensus sequence (CANNTG) and repress transcription (Funato et al., 2003; Lu et al., 1998), and may also interact with other bHLH transcription factors (Miyagishi et al., 2000). Capsulin is expressed at an early stage in the developing mesonephros, beginning at embryonic day 8 in mice (Tamura et al., 2001), suggesting that it may be a very early regulator of development in the urogenital system.

Thuryl -- You have an odd definition of a variable as most computer scientists would disagree. Correction: Jeff Vogel has an odd definition of a variable. :P I know and you* know the general definition of a variable, but since we're talking specifically about BoA here, I thought it best to use the definitions in the BoA documentation rather than confuse the issue. What I meant, if you want me to be pedantic, was "What BoA calls a 'flag' is not handled internally in the same way as what BoA calls a 'variable'".

Frail + Brittle Bones in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, April 24 2006 06:02 Profile Homepage #1 The trouble with taking traits with XP bonuses in A4 is that around the Eastern Gallery, your levelling rate really starts to slow down and stays slow for the rest of the game -- you'll be getting negligible XP from everything after a certain level, so you'll only end up 2 or 3 levels ahead, which is less than the skill point value of the benefits you'd get from taking traits with XP penalties instead. Feel free to try and disprove conventional wisdom, though. [ Monday, April 24, 2006 06:04: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
