Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Virtual booze? I am virtually all over that.
Are we doing an irc thing or just chatting in the thread? Cause I'm about to try to sleep.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Hehehe...
Closer to morning time, since I for once actually went to bed when I said I would.
Optic fibre is used to communicate at high transfer rates. In other words, it's our incoming/outgoing Internet connection. We've already had the fibre drawn to our house, but we need to get it inside and install the converter box...

Speaking of scything, I'll actually be going to our ancestral farm today, staying for the weekend. There won't be any grass to scythe, it's still too early for that, but there will be cousins, and that's always fun!Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Wow, and over here I am up later than I intended to be. Just wanted to check various threads real fast before bed, but reading this made me feel like I just had to write something. So after this I say good night.
Ah cool! I hope that it works out very well for you and your family over there then. It sounds like you really know what you're doing with all that.
I hope you have fun over there this weekend, or that at least your stay is enjoyable. Cousins are usually fun but not always. Got to see a cousin a couple weeks ago that I hadn't been around in a while, and it was tons of fun!
ION: Either good night or good morning banterers. Sleep well or have a good day, whichever.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Well, we'll get a professional to do that work, we just did some unqualified and dirty manual labour which would've costed extra to have a technician do for us...
Yeah, they tend to be mostly fun to have around...
Good night, Halusun! Sleep well!

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
It occurs to me I should probably post in this thread at some point, since my username's in the title.
Incidentally, I hadn't realised quite how much I identified with that handle until I started seeing this thread pop up a lot. It's a bit of an odd feeling seeing it all the time - a bit like your in public and attracting a few stares.
Having lost a family member a few months back, I was all set to offer condolences. Then I read the rest of the post and felt rather silly.
I don't know what it says about me that I'm genuinely sad to lose a pair of shoes. Probably bad things.
Speaking of bad things, @QWERTY: I posted in the League thread and everyone ignored me for a page. So helpful, much faith in community.Last edited by Mx.Silver; 2014-04-17 at 05:09 AM.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
I don't mean to make a run on what's just happened, and I'm not going to frame it like some great family loss... but, it seems my scanner has died. Which is really unfortunate. It fell from my desk last week and have been struggling to get it working ever since. It was a great little scanner. Not new by any means, but it was reliable, of decent quality, and portable. I'm going to take it by the tech lab in the library soon and see if it can't be opened up and revived, but I'm not counting on that.
Thank God I've still got Amazon Student Prime, eh?

I have ducklings now.
Beefsquatch (black and grey chick) and the black duckling feed each other and make out. Clearly they are a couple.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
I'm honestly in full panic mode. I need a flat to live in.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Our lease ends in early June, and my options are to either: stay in Finland for the summer and return early enough to find a flat before my placement starts in August, or stay in Glasgow and visit Finland when convenient. I'd rather have the latter. Glasgow's a horrible place to find a flatmate from. TOO MUCH SCARY STUFF.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Y'all mentioned 2048 earlier, right? I just found a 3D version. I think it's a lot easier but it's also more entertaining to me.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Very interesting. Thank you. Is it decently efficient, then? I speculate these things: firstly, that there are not many other options when the grass is long; and secondly, that a razor-sharp slice is much healthier for the grass than the dull tearing of a lawnmower's blades.
Since Sweden is colonizing the world surreptitiously via furniture and socks, it is our right to enjoin the centre from our periphery. Postcolonial studies have taught us this. Onwards to the capital, Helium Halloon!
I am well this day: for this afternoon I shall take lunch with my gentleman friend, and this evening I shall drink rum and play cards with the blackguards of my family. The recent cold snap is turning back to spring, and I shall soon be out of town taking medicinal quantities of wine. All manner of things are well. I trust, in turn, that your yard work and renovations of late have been satisfying? Let me guess, you didn't ask what was planted in the garden this year. *runs into the bathroom crying and locks the door*
A wizard is never out of style. Nor is he in style. He is precisely as fashionable as he means to be.
But I feel as if some deep cipher is at work in this individual's strange utterances. By God he means the meta-game surrounding tic-tac-toe, and the possibility of perfection within an ultimately flawed matrix. With the book he means the way to signify, in material terms, the meaning of a thing which is not material -- transcending the particulars of form. In this way, programming tic-tac-toe AI becomes a wax-on/wax-off spiritual exercise. You are being taught by a sublime genius.
Can you please tell me, once you have been there, how your white strawberry plants might be doing? Of course it be too early for berries, but... y'know... just let them know that I asked.
Are they as fluffy to touch as they look? ;___;
May I brushy-brushy them with a toothbrush?
Not to mention the difficulty of finding a "flat" *utters this word awkwardly* for only a few months. Have you met no enclaves of budgies in the city, who squat in clock towers or attics or around the warm vents outside of bakeries? I could talk to my people, and they would surely take you under their wing for a time. They will bring you tea and oranges and toast, and preen your hair so that it be shiny and smooth as a tail feather.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
It turns out that my hard drive has failed, which means the Random Banter Card Ceremony might be stalled for a bit.
It'll still be this week, though!
