random thought before we sleep: If there's a species called the slow loris, is there also a fast loris?

Avernum is a great game but

How the hell do you _parry_ a _fireball_

what, exactly, is it supposed to mean if we're told we can't use a picture (for a custom debit card) that we got from the internet, "especially if it's from a website"

Random thought: @Gargron's fursona should be a kangaroo so people can make "gargron roo" jokes (after the location Gargan Roo from Final Fantasy IX) (this is a bad joke isn't it)

Wow, there hasn't been one of these in three months! Remember when I did these daily? >.>

in case it wasn't obvious my mood has plummeted in the last five minutes or so

Ughhhh

coming to realize how much the current political situation interferes with our life

trying to plan more than like a month in the future is just a massive anxiety right now because we get started thinking about trying to leave the country

I should clarify in something that isn't directed at a specific person, the unit's name isn't just arbitrary, it is actually 10⁴¹ ergs and they dropped the "ten to the" part.

One of the more ridiculous units (that's actually used) we've encountered is the foe, a unit used in some parts of astrophysics. It stands for "forty-one ergs" (it's not equal to forty-one ergs)

Sometimes, people put #s on some of the most random-seeming words. Could someone perhaps explain why?

anyway this has been felthry gets annoyed at microsoft again

this is what the configuration file looks like to install Word, Excel, and Powerpoint and nothing else. Note that you have to know not what you want to install but everything you don't want to install, and that you also have to tell it not to pin icons for each one on your taskbar because of course it clutters your taskbar by default

you have to use the office deployment tool which is designed for setting up many computers at once and you have to go into its configuration file and instead of telling it "install this this and this" you have to tell it "okay /don't/ install this, don't install that, don't install this" for every single one of the apps and you have to look up what all of the programs are and I don't even know what lync is nor did we know it existed so if you forgot that too bad you have lync now, whatever it is

Installing microsoft office but not installing every single office program is very difficult, much more so than it should be

I don't _want_ onenote, microsoft, stop trying to force it on us

(actually, a small comment. this image out of context is just very amusing to me for no particular reason)
