Rosbjerg Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Last thread here. I'm studying for my finals here in January and getting serious with the bartender, so this single life might be coming to an end soon. 1 Fortune favors the bald.
Nepenthe Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Having the least productive week whole year. No cases, really, just a bunch of small stuff that should be taken care of. Boored. Also going to spend the weekend doing job applications You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Nepenthe Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Haha, got the equivalent of a writ of certiorari (ie. my case accepted on the Supreme Court's docket). :D Edited December 13, 2013 by Nepenthe 2 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Kroney Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Got a busy weekend ahead. Tonight going for drinks with some of the woman's friends. Tomorrow me and her will be in That London living it up and then Sunday's at my brother's for the first Christmas of three. I've got Monday of, which is lucky, for verily I shalt be ruined. Dirty deeds done cheap.
Raithe Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Having a non-productive week due to a weird mix of procrastination and constant little things cropping up that seem to be sapping my time, effort and willpower away. Woke up early for some reason, got to watch the light of dawn slowly creep in and fill my room while trying to get back to sleep. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Agiel Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Boss asked me to take one of the PDF forms we designed and turn it into a Word file, since the localisation firm we're hiring doesn't have Adobe CSS or Quark. Cue me looking up whether it was possible to adjust leading, kerning, and tracking using Microsoft Word. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Rosbjerg Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 Met the new tenant who's moving in next month - my current decided to warn her that "it get's a little loud when he has company".. Thanks buddy, that's not ackward at all! 2 Fortune favors the bald.
Woldan Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I had a dream where strange metaphors hinted that I'll die from an agonizing illness in two years. Meh, where are the dreams of unicorns, beautiful angels and rainbows? Huh? 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Woldan Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Oh, and today I asked myself how Mars can have little streams of water on the surface if the atmosphere has 1% of the density of earths. Shouldn't it vaporize almost instantly? I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Azdeus Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Not if it is cold enough, I guess? If it's cold enough I think that water holds together better despite the lower pressure. I'm just purely guessing here though. :< Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken
Woldan Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Yeah but its either cold enough to freeze (Mars got ice poles) or the lack of an atmosphere makes it boil. I don't think there is an in-between that keeps its stable so it forms little rivers. Jupiters moon Europa has a water geyser that creates a dust cloud of frozen water particles. If it was warmer I guess the water would simply vaporize. But flowing water without an atmosphere? I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I'm finished with finals. Going to work and meet some friends later tonight.

Azdeus Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Mars does have an atmosphere though, even though it's barely there, it'd be enough I think. It's some pressure, even if it's low enough to make a human go "pop!". Aslong as it does'nt get warm enough to instantly vapourize the water. *Shrug* Europa - from what I've been told - keeps it's water flowing with help of the tidal forces acting on the waters underneath the giant ice sheathe on the planet, and is basically getting heat from, well, friction I suppose. I'm finished with finals. Going to work and meet some friends later tonight. Did it go well?

Aslong as it does'nt get warm enough to instantly vapourize the water. *Shrug* Yeah but Mars is really just a tad above vacuum, in fact 1% or less of earths atmosphere density is labeled as ''trace gas'', and Mars' atmosphere density is 0,6%. I really doubt its enough to keep liquid water from boiling. The only way to keep water from escaping the planet or asteroid via vaporization is to keep it frozen, like the poles on Mars, or under lots of pressure. It can't turn into a liquid state without vaporizing in a near vacuum environment. Gonna have to send this question to NASA. I also want to ask them about artificial gravity created through centrifugal forces, it doesn't really work how its portrayed in Sci-Fi movies (Simply spinning a space ship etc.) Its much more complex and nearly impossible to do. Anyway, today I found a little spider pendant a friend of mane gave me as a gift so I made a necklace out of it just for fun. I actually like it, though it makes me look like some sort of cultist. I guess it gives me +1 for my saving throws. Praise the spider queen! Edited December 13, 2013 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Labadal Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Been trying to complete my NPC for Pillars of Eternity. I had 3 A4 papers written down, but you don't get as much room on the pledge site to fit half of that in. This is very challenging, but in a good way. Even if he/she/if it turns out crappy, it's still exciting knowing that you'll see the character in an actual Obsidian game. I said I'd never put big money on a Kickstarter ever again, but if this turns out good, I might do a big pledge for Obsidian KS#2. 3
LadyCrimson Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I still haven't decided on a memorial slogan. Of course, that could be partly because I haven't spent a ton of time thinking about it after the initial day. Serious or silly...that's what I can't decide. If I had been able to create an NPC I'd probably have created a talking cat, to ensure there would be at least one cat in the game, which Obsidian would then have likely laughed at and written to politely ask me to make a real NPC. “Things are as they are.

Labadal Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I have no idea what I'll write on my memorial. Totally clueless.
Nepenthe Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I have no idea what I'll write on my memorial. Totally clueless. That's why I decided to stay at my original 250 level, when I was reviewing my pledge today. Just threw in an extra t-shirt... :/ You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
LadyCrimson Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I'd guess one doesn't have to have a memorial - eg, I might just forgo it altogether. I'd rather not 'claim' the reward then put in something weaksauce because I can't think of anything I'd like. And currently about to do some errand-hopping, then dinner making, then probably couch-flopping whilst a cat licks my face and chews on my hair. Feeling unmotivated and brain-dead today. Even gaming requires too much thinking. Heh. Edit: oh what the heck...screw those errands. And the stack of paperwork and forms I've been neglecting. And the dirty laundry. I'm starting my couch-flopping now. Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Getting woken up in the early hours of the morning by a large dog bursting into your room, leaping onto your bed, and landing on sensitive areas does not make for a good start to the weekend... 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

It does'nt stay liquid for long though, according to Wikipedias Mars page under hydrology; "Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Mars due to low atmospheric pressure, except at the lowest elevations for short periods".

Rosbjerg Posted December 14, 2013 Author Posted December 14, 2013 Realized just how crazy my hangout bar is - they were holding a "Dusk till Dawn" theme party last night and suddenly strippers with snakes came in and gave free tequila shots. While this crazy Mexican themed rock band was just going insane.. I was half expecting them all to be vampires, it was pretty spot on. My favorite part was that all the old time rockers came 'round and partied hard. bad picture of her, but you get the idea 1 Fortune favors the bald.

Oh man, I have zero respect for people who have unprotected sex and then get 'accidentally' pregnant. Its so goddamn easy to avoid yet it still happens, it simply boggles my mind. What I did today: went to the shooting range and had so much fun, shot like a laser, my reloads worked like a charm, the wonderful smell of burned powder in my nose. Since my reloads worked so well I can now begin manufacturing a couple of hundred rounds for each rifle which gives me something to do on the coming dreary boring winter days. Today has been a good day. Edited December 14, 2013 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
