Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

“The Human is up in the afternoon! I'm hanging out with him on the warm thing. He's playing his Dragon music right now. It's loud.” - Explorer the Cat.
-
Appointment made for getting Explorer, my cat, fixed. Soonest they can do her is Feb 26, which is a little longer than I wanted, but I can live with that.

The current rain forecast is less than 10% for the rest of the day. My right knee hasn't been told about this yet. Thinking strongly about finding the heat pad (vs. the electric throw I normally use on my legs) and seeing if that helps. If I can't find it, I'll use the throw and put up with it being warm on the rest of my lower body.

Daft Punk's “Get Lucky,” as sung by a Romanian twentysomething lady, line of “She's up all night to the sun” sounds like “She's up all night to get some,” which, given the subject of the song, makes more sense. That is the line for the singer in the next line of the song.

After my backup to external SDD finally stopped, I checked the cable. It's not blue-coded, so I suspect that it was the bottleneck. I have a 3.2 cable arriving today. However, not doing a backup for at least a couple of weeks. I do more backups when I do work, which, things lawful-good willing, I'm going to start this week. I've been slacking for the last month—6 weeks. I just have to ignore the siren call of social media and crunch data, then write the conversion script. Plus write simple, but sort of accurate, artillery rules that cover everything from WW1 creaping barrages to current drone-spotted artillery snipping. I suspect that's gonna be more than a paragraph. I've allocated a whole page for it. But as Napoleon said, “It is with artillery that war is made,” so those rules being somewhat more complex than direct fire is sort of to be expected.

The evidence is that he smells them. Not sure about the finger thing, however.

The chance of rain, as forecast by Weather Underground, has gone from 33% this afternoon to 20ish this morning, with a 2nd wave around 6ish. My right knee is telling me about it. Forecast to have thunderstorms all day Thursday. I'm not gruntled by the weather.

Hmm. What limb did Mr. Tyrant Slayer make go limp when he manifested the arms? It might have been a leg; he was flying at the time. As to size, that might be a matter of skill at making them. Grace, obviously, is new at manifesting them.

I've been out at dusk and looked at the hole by the eves. No bats seen leaving it. Plus it's more of a scratch, not a peep/squeak. I've heard enough bats to know the difference between them and say, rodents.
-
“Whatever it is that is making noise up there is really, really loud today. The smart money is on birds, but mice can't be ruled out either. Regardless, I'm ready if they come down!” - Explorer the Cat.

/me have a smoking, yet pleasant-smelling, star.

A cat who, shortly after this picture was taken, was rudely removed from her place as The Human made a fast trip to the liter chair. This happend several times. I got tired of this and just settled down at the foot of the bed—Explorer the Cat.

“The Human has a rumbly tummy. He had to stop the math rock game early. He's taken medicene, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm hanging out with him to make him feel better.” -Explorer the Cat.

/me Have a star there. mlooney:Wights aren't ghosts, in either modern fantasy (read Tolkien or D&D) or historical usage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wight

Burning sage, then lining the walls with sacred salt. That's the Neo-pagan way. The traditional Christian way involves a priest with a holy water sprinkler and a thurifer with a censer filled with blessed incense. Not sure about other options. Burning stuff seems to be a major part of the ritual regardless.

Based on the ETA shown, it's faster to download via the Dropbox app my whole ~/Dropbox to my machine than it is to dump it to my external SSD. I'm using USB 3, but I have suspicions about the A to C cable

“It's Math Rocks Day! Does the party go look for the wizards that are the root of the problem, or do they go back to the big city to get their reward? Who knows with these guys?” Explorer the Cat.
-
Hmm. That might explain why his mind went straight to “fairy godmother interfering.” He knows that there is one “working” in the area.
-
Being a member of the classes of sophont that he classes as 2nd class, at best, I don't think so.
-
Here is So Col. Sanders likes cats. So there is one thing about him that doesn't suck. That doesn't mean he doesn't suck over all. And I'll bet that most cats will not like him.
-
My crack theory is that Fairy Godmother and Power Behind the Throne Adrian are having A Talk.

The Human is moving slowly today, but he got enough sleep last night. I'm gonna hang out on the desk for a while. I've already eaten. He hasn't finished making boring tea, so I'll stay over on this edge. Once he brings the tea mug in, I'll get on the warm thing.” - Explorer the Cat

Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)
mlooney replied to The Old Hack's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Trump has tried to run the country the way he ran his business. The problem with that is that he ran them badly. Plus, the whole view of the world as a zero sum game mindset doesn't help. -
“The Human is moving a bit slowly today. He's just now making boring tea. I'll hang out here. He needs the help. Of course it's getting close to kibble time, so there is that” - Explorer the Cat.

My money is on Ashley with Liz. Grace seems to be steering Sarah away from the main floor. Bishop, as a married woman, isn't invited to the ball.
