I had some really really good special batch rye whisky yesterday. But I'm damned if I can recall the name. Sorry.

It seems to me that what most people mean when they think of science is engineering. They want bridges built from equations, not from what voices said to you in the wilderness. But those equations aren't accurate. They're just useful. ...Lost my train of thought. Past my bed time.

What if he's just allergic to snow?

Yeah. We'll have our own winter olympics. With blackjack. And hookers.

That's damned useful to know, Humanoid. Thanks. I guess we'll put a freeze on this for now, and revisit in two months.

I do know what DDoS is, you fool. But why Evolve? I was talking to a techie mate of mine last night and he said that DDoS is his biggest fear for his company. There's almost nothing you can do about it unless you're a huge international firm. It's things like this which make me wonder if the Internet as it currently runs is sustainable.

Do you mean affective time in our heads, or time as an absolute function of the universe? *not sure if I've used the word affective correctly*

I think on balance that if I wanted anyone that dead I'd use something bigger than a gun. EDIT: Possibly a gnu.

I'm a bit disappointed that the Darth Sideious robe isn't an every day occurrence. I'm disappointed he just did the robe.

More mead, South African cabernet franc, and some other stuff.

On solutions
Walsingham replied to khalil's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Not every problem CAN be solved with diplomacy. -
If you can't kill, then you next step would be immobilisation followed by isolation. Because people will still be d***s. And they will need to be neutralised. So you would disagree with someone, wrestle them to the floor, cuff them, bag them, throw them into the river to be washed out to sea. The end.

Apparently for the last couple of days, the Evolve servers have been under sustained DDoS attack. I figured this might affect other members. But I'm also unclear why such an attack might occur.

The old 'if you've got nothing to hide' concept, eh? I can probably live with cameras on cops. But I think that at the point where cameras are necessary then something is already badly wrong. Cameras are a technical solution to a human problem.

Mother nature has turned on me, like the b*** she is. So no travel today.

You need to take up horse riding. (I'm totally guessing)

Because the human intestine, while functional, occasionally gets the urge to brighten up s***.

Not really. You adopt a 'service oriented' approach, like every large international company does. Iran agrees to not enrich in exchange for power at x dollars per kw hour. It doesn't matter if that's coal, nuclear, or lots of hamsters.

Heh, I paid around 12% this year, but the government wants 15%. It's actually the state that is killing me. I have my federal under $1000 at this point, but the state wants another $2200. Geez. What in the name of Lauryn Hill are you talking about? 15%? My imaginary friend pays 15%! The Labour Party in the UK has recently committed to taxing 50%!

After a very productive day I'm rewarding myself with a bottle of mead and some heavily modded Skyrim.

This is true. Bear in mind that bits of me snapped permanently during the same period.

Well, _I_ thought that picture was weird. And scary/awesome.

You fellows do appreciate this isn't Judge Judy? We're talking about the state that is actively sending volunteers to support Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons themed love in. Likening it to Japan just because Japan has nuclear power can't be a serious point, can it?

Unless the expert is going to cost your 4k I'd suggest doing so. Sorry to hear about that, though.
