the critical flaw with the monty hall problem is the inherent assumption that you would rather have a car than a goat

is there anything that can be done if you lose the usb thingy for a wireless mouse and keyboard?

Involuntary shapeshifter who goes around as whatever shape most recently caught their eye... except they tend to watch a lot of weird porn so they end up hypersexualized and multi a lot

Since meeting the latios from yesterday, they've been seen wearing a shape identical to his (with small modifications whenever they pass through their mind) quite frequently.... they're trying to work up the courage to ask him out on a date, but haven't yet

@PinkCathodeCat Hi, did you read our profile before sending that follow request?

everyone around us does programming, there are so few people we can talk hardware with

we are outsourcing the decision, just to see what happens: what should we do for dinner tonight

some creative exercise is nice. we haven't done much creative stuff in a while, other than circuit board layouts

i need to do more of these "today's thoughts" posts. we missed doing them

Two-headed, four-armed latios guy with well-groomed facial hair and ridiculously large boobs (three of them)

Uses psychic power to hold his boobs up, because otherwise he'd have immense back pain

Two legs? Or perhaps a naga? Unsure. Not three legs or taur; he definitely has a slim waistline.

Works at a fancy restaurant (and is a respected decision maker; he'd probably be one of the owners if it weren't a worker-owned cooperative), usually as wait staff. He can cook too, but isn't as good as others who work there so he only does when filling in for people

Gender and presentation are very firmly male, but his clothing can be basically anything. He usually wears a formal suit top and matching floor-length skirt to work. He also looks good in a dress and knows it.

He might be part haunter. Sometimes his necks, thighs, and upper arms are just not there, heads and forearms and legs floating instead.

Never have we been so sure we speak a rhotic dialect than reading a Londoner's respelling to explain pronunciation. "hasten" gets "hay-sern", "gnaw" gets "same as 'nor'", "either" gets both "aye-the" and "ee-the"

Can slot-loading optical drives usually deal with 8 cm mini-CDs/mini-DVDs, or did the wii have a special one?

fun fact: there's a species of bird called a ptarmigan

the name ptarmigan has no good reason for having a p in it at all, and it was spelled tarmigan for a long time before someone thought "well surely this comes from the greek ptero-, we should put a p there" and got it spelled ptarmigan in the dictionary

there is no relation between the words (p)tarmigan and ptero-. tarmigan comes from a Scottish Gaelic word, about as unrelated to Greek as you can get while still being Indo-European

We happened across someone using the term "galgame" without any explanation. Does anyone know what that means? It seems to be a genre of video game?

this is because the dividing line between history and prehistory is the invention of writing. it's history if someone wrote about it and no one wrote about anything before writing was invented

It was just pointed out to us that writing is *by definition* as old as history itself

thikning of trying to play wild arms 4 again. we didn't get very far the first time we played it because there were emulation issues, and then never got into it the second time because it waas too soon after the first time and felt like repeating stuff

we'd have to take the hard drive out of the ps2 though. got an IDE hard drive when we were thinking of trying to load isos onto it but never did that and now it just spins really loudly whenever it's turned on

The holy bibble

so, we've never read them, but we've heard a lot about how they're really poorly written and all around not very good, so... why did the twilight novels get so popular?
