Just for 32:

The description of which, in the smilies table, seems more than apt.

How is it an example that proves itself? Unless I'm just being dense, that would imply you think this is Adam trying to apologise obliquely to someone.

Jestyr

Screw the US, come see Australia!

Many zoo animals are born and raised in captivity. Provided their conditions are humane and appropriate, there's not much cruel about keeping them in the only environment they know. It's certainly, IMO, not as cruel as Mother Nature can be.

I like the fact that I can easily and comfortably - and relatively cheaply - hop on a plane to go visit friends overseas. I like the fact that I can order something online from the UK and have it arrive here within a week. I certainly prefer both of those situations to some indefinable mystique the ...

Tangentially, if anyone's looking for awesome computer game scores, the Myst series of games has always had great music. Myst III's my favourite, but the others are all good too.

Jestyr

I missed having a single solid online community with which to interact. None of the successor forums were what I wanted, and LJ's not the same. In many ways I filled the gap with online gaming, particularly my MMO guild (SWG, EQ2, WoW) and other WoW communities, but there's only so many times you ca...

It's only 'blind' if you still have it set at 800x600. My 24" widescreen's at 1920x1200; I just like not having to alt-tab.

Jestyr

What's depressing is how quickly you get used to it. I've got a 24" LCD and I'm already looking at it like it's 'normal', not big. Soon it'll start feeling small.

Jestyr

Gunny, Eva, Sam, Thorn...

Been trying to think of what to say, and there really isn't anything other than: Wow, dude, that sucks - and like Adam says, you deserve better. *hugs*

If there's anything we can do...

Naw. Seriously, the relative power level of Exalts is just off the charts in SR terms. What you were before Exaltation is pretty irrelevant.

Jestyr

The Unconquered Sun took a really long time to start sending Solars back.

Turns out that hiding from Heaven is a lot harder in the Information Age...

Evening begins at 6pm, and night begins at 9pm.

Just finished up a campaign of Exalted-in-SR, currently playing D&D3.5E.

And WoW, of course.

I'm only regularly watching NCIS and Heroes, and I'm going to be very sad in a few weeks when their seasons end. I may give Drive a chance, although I'm told it's significantly better if you watch all of it except Captain Tightpants' scenes in fast-forward, so that doesn't bode well. And Painkiller ...

Juice, preferably "tropical" (a blend of pineapple, orange, pear and passionfruit).

Jestyr

Ditto that, re Supernatural.

Jestyr

Ugh, where *don't* I want to go? (Well, actually, I have little desire to visit the Middle East, or much of South-East Asia.) Top of the list would probably be 'more of Europe', particularly Germany; 'more of the US', particularly the eastern half; China, Japan, and all the bits of my own continent ...

Hmm. More old-school than I'd expected. There's plenty of recent rap I like, but these are the long-time favourites.

Jestyr

I've seen that too.

I need people more than I thought I did.

It is important for one's Armageddon to be minty-fresh.

A few hours after launch and I'm already reloading reflexively to check for new posts. Apparently some muscle-memories just don't go away, do they?

Jestyr

Good lord.

Jestyr

I know it was the 'clean slate' aspect that drew me back to FS.

That said - farewell, Bulldrek. It's been a grand, crazy ride. I learnt an awful lot, and made some wonderful friends.

If anyone's looking for me, I'm still at LiveJournal, and I expect I'll be relatively active over at Freespeech.

Jestyr

My current favourites - and ones that get nothing but compliments - are chinese-style roast pork (take long pork fillets, marinade, roast while basting regularly - delicious), turkey pie, and roast chicken.

Jestyr

Insane, yet oh so cool.

Wonder what you have to do to get the highest honour?

I also think it's pretty obvious that if Angel were given a chance to calm down and objectively analyze the facts, she'd be very sympathetic toward him; I think you're probably right; in fact, some measure of the fierceness of my response was probably due to my complete shock that it was Angel - of...

Jestyr

Let me go back to Angel's core point, which seemed - at least to me - to be that this victim deserved no sympathy because he was at fault, or in some way a bad person, for being there in the first place. Now, even assuming that he was in fact a bad man for being there, doesn't Angel's point effectiv...

Well, first you get the elephants, then you make them charge through the sheet of fla... oh. Not what you meant. Sorry, carry on.

I used to be a big Pratchett fan, having read all the books several times, most many times. Night Watch brought me up short, though - for some reason I just *could not* get into that damned book, and I haven't read a Pratchett since. I really must go back.

Jestyr

Not that it's summer here, but my current reading list is: A Ghost in the Machine by Caroline Graham - she writes fine intelligent mystery stories, and this is the latest in her Barnaby series. At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances by Alexander McCall Smith - this one I'm really looking forward to. ...

Am not actually dead, despite total absence from Bulldrek and IRC. I've developed ulnar neural myopathy in my left arm, apparently caused - and definitely exacerbated - by typing. It's kinda like the bastard cousin of carpal tunnel syndrome. I've thus been steering clear of fora that require or enco...

The (British?) TV series of Day of the Triffids scared me witless when I was a pre-teen. Even now I still have nightmares that can be directly traced back to that.

Jestyr

No, Sowhat, there's no "of course" about it. Yes, natural selection is demonstrably functional. And yes, it is the most likely scientific explanation for the origin of modern organisms. However, you cannot prove that evolution is historically valid, because you cannot gather direct, quanti...

I use subSilver. I find it *much* more comfortable on the eyes than the white-on-black of the rest of the board templates. (Except Inverted, but I dislike the negative-color avatars of Inverted.)

Jestyr

I think you're right, 32, and I think it's largely because not only is it class-based, but the "worthwhile" character abilities are all tied to your specific classes. (That's true of Earthdawn, too, but they strongly discouraged multi-disciplining.) In Shadowrun, as your character develops...

Jestyr

Whatever happened to "picking the class(es) that seem best suited to the character"?

In, well, no order. Actual file size is not an issue. 200 more entires in the PM table for evvery announcement might be. Okay, could you either: a) set the PMs to expire after a certain time? Say... five days, maybe. After that time, they're deleted. If the issue is only relevant for as short a tim...

Yeah - Moo asked for laws and SOP. I don't know the laws, so I just gave the SOP for government departments, which is all I know.

Jestyr

Paul, some of the new footage was really really good. Other bits of it smacked of politically-correct revisionism, which was... disappointing.

Jestyr

My employer - and most government departments in Australia - have 12 weeks of paid parental leave available, and a further year (or possibly 18 months) unpaid.

Heh. I've got fortnightly dental appointments at the moment to fix all the stuff that's wrong with my teeth. Gee I love my life. For me, what I hate about the dentist's is not the pain - there's not much of that; my dentist is very gentle. It's the mild claustrophobia-induced panic that rises from b...
