The programmer in me wants to loudly and pointed scream that if a function based language, such as c or Pascal, supports function pointers, a structure that includes them generates the same general effect as an object oriented language does, it just requires a bit of work. Back when I was working on voice mail systems, we did them in ANSI c with jump tables. Actually for some types of tricky OOP things like selective multiple inheritance, it's easier to do with a jump table than with a set of classes. Function pointers were my thing back in the day. Remind me to tell the story about the stripper and function pointers some time.

On a purely personal level I have my first micro kidney stone in several months. This makes me less than fully gruntled. At least with my new air bed I can adjust the bed softness to a point that laying on my side is not a cause for massive pain.

I like Lucy's new hair. Looks like she went to the tea shop several times and the hair "stuck". The pervert in me approves of the idea of legal age high school girls being tea transformed repeatedly. And I can see the gold digger type girl that Lucy is doing just that. Dan, get on that, make the tea shop canon.

In some of the game fluff fiction I wrote for project [redacted] the CO of the space ship noted than from in side the ship you could hear the missiles launching until they got far enough away that their reaction gas was no longer hitting the ship's hull. So it sounded more like cannon fire would in an atmosphere than a rocket launch would in an atmosphere. While I am not sure if the reaction gas would be strong enough to make noise hitting the ship's hull, I'm quite sure that it would while they were still in the tubes. Another side note about explosions in a vacuum, when the Mythbusters did their proof that a gun will fire in a vacuum, the muzzle flash was several times larger than the same gun made in standard atmospheric pressure. Like 3 or 4 times larger. This was very obvious on the high speed camera shots. So while an in space explosion will be silent it's fireball will be much larger than the same amount of explosives would be in an atmosphere.

Sure, normally said soonish or lateish. When you get down to it ASAP is rather vague.

Why wouldn't she use a bunny?

Fractal abs? That might, just might get all weird and stuff. Base on Susan's singing at Grace's birthday party, not likely. Hair length maybe. Job, nope.

For the record I was including role playing gamers in my rant about DYM. Thank all that is lawfully good for both Pathfinder and version 5 of D&D. AD&D5 being released under the OGl.

Crack for gamers was used a lot for M:tG. Still is by some people. Game's Workshop stuff is cocaine for gamers. Based on price per oz it's possible that real cocaine is cheaper.

Based on the 2015 Christmas sketchbook I still say it's a two stage product, or to use the military term a binary agent, the milk does the clothes and the tea does the FV5+. Ellen a Nanase had the milk with out the tea, and most, if not all of the tea drinkers are taking it with milk. Susan seems to drink her coffee black.

My dishwasher trying to summon elder gods again.

It's a minor thing but my new tablet came with stress release 90° power cord. That makes my normal means of holding it no mangle the power cord.

If I had the faintest clue about the damn yellow mouse* I would make a comment here. *A term used a lot by non Pokemon players when it was stomping all over the rest of the game world and made Hasbro buy Wizards of the Coast

Well,they are still the same species, so you might say that was metamorphosis not evolution.

Very Close.

Before the great crash and burn of '16 I had a habit of picking a long to ultra long thread and start at the beginning and read it to the point that normally a great wall of red text appeared killing it, or it died of natural causes. Some threads got very ugly. The nearest thing that we have had in recent times was "is/was Ashley dumb for letting (bad) Tom fool her for a couple of months?" Susan answered that in an awesome way and the subject was dropped. On the one to plasma scale of flame wars it was barely "birthday candle". Early stuff? Right up there with your basic 210mm thermobaric weapon.1 1Thermobaric weapon are nasty stuff. If they go of right, they have near nuke level of localized destruction. If they only half ass of off (which is possible, depending on several factors, like wind speed and local humidity, they are like napalm. If they fail to go off at all, which is still possible, if the primary detonation fuse fails, they are toxic gasses. If one gets dropped near you, your world is going to change in a bad way. Just for what it's worth, the US Air Forces uses them, (MOAB is one) but other than they aren't really all that common is the US forces. The Russians, on the other hand, love them and issues them down to squad level. This fact has lead to several changes in US Army doctrine about defensive potions.

Amazon is making the bold claim that my replacement tablet and pair of memory chips will be delivered today by 20:00. CST Their "track your package" thing even says it's on the truck. It's Sunday. The apartment complex office, which is where I suspect they "deliver" to is closed. I've got every form of notify that Amazon offers turned on about the delivery, so I can make the half mile (one way) trip as soon as Amazon thinks it's been delivered. In the time I've been living here the only delivery truck I've seen in side the compound is DLX and I know this is going UPS. Color me gobsmacked. It just arrived. Granted none of the notify things have gone off, but I've got the box in my hand.

Fam-Trad Transformation? Or Fam-Trad-Trans to us the full Wiccan like term of art.

Side effect of the magnetic fields?

If by melt you mean "explode and cover the room with a hot red mist" you are correct. The several megajules of energy (possibly even gigajules) dumped onto him would have flash boiled all the water in his body resulting in something that even the Mythbusters would call an explosion. Laser weapons, even the experimental ones we have now, are not nice clean "cauterize the wound and make a little hole". They make crap blow up.

Way the hell off topic, but I find Zintel, from Flaky Pastry, with grey hair a lot hotter than her normal purple and orange hair. I'm not sure why this worries me, but it does. Might be the fact that I'm up at 01:00 doing random things of the computer.

/me thinks about who that is... "No, you can stay, want to see my etchings?"

Yeah, should have used an Oxford comma there. Or made it a separate sentence. I've made rice with green tea, not bad as it happens, but not with Cream of Mushroom soup.

She works at a tea shop in town. They might "fix" the magic version and the gang start hanging out there. Or not fix the magic version but have it as a "special".

All my bills paid, to include load from my brother, and $300 pet deposit, on time, replacement tablet ordered and I have money left over. For once it looks like my finances aren't going to be a major issue, given that spent about $540 this month on a one off payments. Woot!
