Shipwrecked beta in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, September 22 2005 16:50 Profile Homepage #8 I think that by "only compatible with Blades of Avernum 1.1 or newer on a Mac" he meant "if you have a Mac, you'll need BoA 1.1 or newer". Remember, string manipulation calls didn't exist until Mac 1.1 and Windows 1.0. (Although if he hasn't converted the graphics to Windows format yet, well, that'd be inconvenient, since Windows users can't do it themselves.)

So the statement about width multiplied by height not being able to be greater than 100 is actually correct as it is. :P You can have an outdoors with dimensions of, say, 20x5 or even 50x2 if you want, although I'm not sure why you'd want to.

Member # 869	written Thursday, September 22 2005 11:45 Profile Homepage #267 quote: Originally written by Friend of Electroconvulsive Therapy: Defibrillators, ECT, and the electric chair have nothing in common besides running current through a human. I don't know if enough current reaches the heart, or enough current-induced signalling, to cause problems. Do seizures commonly cause death in those with heart conditions? Seizures commonly cause death, but not necessarily from heart failure. Some forms of epilepsy can be surprisingly lethal. If a seizure continues for more than a few minutes, it can start to cause permanent damage to neurons. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

When bubonic plague was rampant in Europe, many people believed the disease was a punishment for their sins, and therefore whipped themselves in an attempt to atone and thereby avoid the plague. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

As of 2004, the only places in the world still having the electric chair as an option are the U.S. states of Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Except for Nebraska, where it remains the only method of execution, inmates in the other states must select it or lethal injection. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, September 21 2005 21:49 Profile Homepage #8 Well, that's the thing. They have a whole team of insurance assessors whose job it is to work out the value of the stuff they're insuring. They're not easily persuaded by a claimant who, after all, has a vested interest in overestimating the item's value. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, September 21 2005 21:05 Profile Homepage #5 Well, it's likely that the $300 is an excess -- that is, in the event of a claim, the insurance company agrees to pay $300 less than the cost of repair or replacement. (The purpose of an excess is to prevent people from making a claim for a trivial amount of damage). However, a lot of insurance companies will insure a car at its market value. So if he can prove that the average market value of that model of car is $6000, he could get $5700. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

I'm aware that ECT is sometimes useful as a treatment of last resort for depression. However, I think we can all agree that it shouldn't be performed on an unconscious and nonconsenting patient. :P Divination with a bell? That's a new one. I'll have to look that one up. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Member # 869	written Wednesday, September 21 2005 04:51 Profile Homepage #229 Yes, there are plenty of people who come to their doctors complaining of being tired all the time and not having the energy to do anything. And without further information, that set of symptoms isn't really adequate to form a definitive diagnosis of anything. That, however, is not an excuse to put tired people in comas. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, September 21 2005 04:36 Profile Homepage #227 Today's name, Deep Sleep Therapy, was an experimental treatment for depression and other mental illnesses, administered mainly at Chelmsford Psychiatric Hospital in Sydney, Australia, in the 1960s and 1970s. Patients were rendered comatose with high doses of sedatives, sometimes for weeks at a time. Often, during this time, electroconvulsive therapy was also administered to the patient without their knowledge or consent. Several patients died; many others suffered permanent neurological disabilities. The disaster that Chelmsford's treatment program had degenerated into was exposed by a current affairs program in 1980. A parliamentary investigation ensued, along with massive lawsuits and criminal charges against several of the doctors involved.
