Let it go.

I kinda like that song because Elsa is pretty much screaming "Fuck it, no I'm done. I'm going to do my own thing over here and the rest of y'all can freeze!" At least that's the impression I get from that song.

Scary Eastern Europe man came in the store today wanting to buy some Frozen figures. Dude had the most intimidating presence, also why would you let the new guy work the registers all alone!? DON'T DO THIS TO ME I DON'T WANT TO DIE!

At least twice a week we get a call from the fabled Skylanders Guy.

Skylanders guy is at least 65 years old and hard of hearing. He really wants to get his grandson some Skylanders. Skylanders Guy calls always start with some strange static, and Skylanders Guy can only understand you if you talk at a breakneck pace of 3 words a minute. Skylanders Guy has an enormous list of Skylanders toys you want to see if you have in stock. One day, we know Skylanders Guy will come to collect, and find out none of us have the patience to sort through all those Skylanders toys for him.

I'm 90% sure Skylanders Guy isn't even real, nobody has seen him in the store before. I think the Skylanders calls are all some sort of secret code, like numbers stations or something.

The weirdest people buy Disney Infinity and Skylanders stuff.

I like the song too, though I got a bit less of a psychotic vibe from it.

I love a cup of tea

[Malkevin]

Just had ear surgery after waiting six months
Glad it's over with

[Jacough]

I got voted out of my Oxford house about three weeks back for sleeping in until noon or so due to the fact that my roommate snores like a mother fucker. I went back yesterday to visit a buddy there and take him to an NA meeting. Got there and the place was completely trashed. Kitchen was swarming with flies, tons of dishes piled up in the sink, stains on the carpet from one of the guy's kids frequently spilling soda on it, trash overflowing from the kitchen garbage can because nobody wanted to take it out, and the kitchen floor was sticky from something someone had spilled on it.

I went to my old room to grab some clothes I had forgotten and it was a fucking mess. My old chain smoking roommate had just sort of tossed all his empty cigarette packs all over the floor and had somehow managed to get barbecue sauce all over the carpet AND on the ceiling too. Apparently he had tried to shake up a bottle of barbecue sauce for some reason without making sure the cap was on tight. This actually happened a couple of days after I left. So those barbecue sauce stains have been in the carpet and on the ceiling for almost three god damn weeks.

Kind of glad I got kicked out now. I may be living with my parents right now but I'm not living in a festering shit hole where I can't sleep and barely have food to eat due to my food being stolen regularly. I'm actually falling asleep and getting up at decent hours and getting back up to a healthy weight again.

Jesus Christ

Reminds me of the stories about how my former fraternity lost its charter status.

[Deitus]

speaking of sleep idk why ive been sleeping so much recently

like i went to bed at 5pm yesterday and woke up an hour ago (4pm) to shower/eat and i still feel so fucking tired

its not like i haven't been sleeping cuz i've pretty much been sleeping without waking up at all but goddamn if i am just so fucking tired recently. is something wrong with me?

[Remie Richards]

sleeping too much makes you more tired.
so does waking up too soon.

pretty much sleeping for any amount of time that isn't 6-8 hours as an adult makes you more tired (and actually increases your chance of death by a very small amount)

[Incomptinence]

A lot of things can make you more tired tho could be something else keep an eye on it.

[Malkevin]

Get a proper sleep schedule
Stop eating shitty food.

I THINK I WATCHED LIKE EIGHT EPISODES

[Deitus]

so is this just like thomas the tank engine but with cars or what

[Remie Richards]

(Ignore the bad colours+weird boxes, that's because this is a gif, not a SWF, and I dont know anywhere to host swfs, the swf looks MUCH nicer)

Animation I'm doing for college.
this is today's work, the first 80 of 1080 frames.
When I'm done I'll release the project files and the flash skeletons too.

[Wyzack]

Damn that looks awesome

[oranges]

I can host your .swfs if you are able to put them on dropbox or a fileshare site to grab

[Zilenan91]

Speaking of past work experiences, as I was sorting my life out after I graduated from high school I got a job at this gas station. I grew up in a shitty neighborhood, so on literally my first day there my boss took me into the back room and showed me this unlocked case with a double barreled in it. He told me how to load it, and not to tell anybody. I ended up never having to use it, thankfully, before I quit the job and went to college.

[Incomptinence]

The following video is profoundly disturbing I was paralysed with terror it is frankly more scary to me than any work trying to do so intentionally I have seen in years.

Spoiler:

[Malkevin]

The hospital pain killers have finally fully worn off.
All I feel is pain.

[Remie Richards]

Today's work on the animation!



I'm 240 frames in (I got my maths wrong the other day, and only did 80 when I should have done 120, so I had to catch up)
Remember, bad colours and weird boxes is all .gif errors!

[DemonFiren]

0/10, not giving clown rainbow blood.

(not making the mess white because we all know what xenos are about)

[Remie Richards]

Are the black line in space and the inconsistent line between the two rows of tiles caused by the .gif too?

Great all the way so far though!

ya. Flash refuses to export to gif in a lot of cases, and in the other cases it's limited to Gif colour limits AND seems to do some butchering.

[Remie Richards]

Christ, how'd that become a popular format? No competition?

flash was popular when it was Macromedia flash, but then Adobe bought it and it largely went downhill.
and now it's full of security holes and slowly being replaced.

>getting ready for cool leg
>morning is going great
>take off my glasses to clean them
>lens pops out 10 minutes before I leave for class
>fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I can kinda still see w/o glasses but most of my non-glasses vision relies on me knowing where I've put things. I can make out shapes and colors, I have no idea how I'm going to make the 50 minute drive if I can't fix these fuckers before I have to leave.I can still read this screen when I'm like 12 inches away from it. It's just a pain in the ass. can I win the lottery already so I can get laser eye surgery.

[Malkevin]

Laser eye surgery is great for the short term, but apparently after ten years your vision goes to shit even worse than it was before.

just wear contacts like the cool kids bro

[LiamLime]

You don't want to know what the alternative to laser eye surgery is*. Also laser eye surgery essentially cleans up your eye's lens, meaning that if you have some condition which causes it to decay, the condition essentially has to start over but will eventually return. It will however not magically become worse overnight, it will slowly come up and you can have surgery again to clean it up. (obviously a lot of this depends on the specifics of your condition)

*

Spoiler:

Well okay, if you do, it's lens removal, which essentially means your glasses or contacts need to compensate for the whole natural lens. This also makes you lose the ability to focus on distances (like focusing on the text in a book you're reading and then focusing on something far away, etc)

[Remie Richards]

theres a new operation that's been trailed, but not available yet.
Where they do what Liam's spoiler says, but they put a manmade one in as well, it produces vision roughly 3x better than 20/20 (with 20/20 being normal vision, 3x better is kinda amazing)
if things go well they I expect it'll probably become required for certain jobs too (like Pilots)
apparently it's also a quick OP too, but again, guess the year it's going to come out and hope you have monies.

That's what I'm holding out for. My brother got Lazik and it worked after a fashion, but fuck it, I want an UPGRADE.

posthumanism here we come, gimmie dat cyberwware

[EndgamerAzari]

Oh God I've got a Skype interview in an hour and I'm just sitting here doing nothing at work and freaking out

[TheWiznard]

I'm not gonna quote cause I'm typing on shitty iPod @ cool leg but:

>wear contacts
I seriously dislike contacts / the way I look w/o glasses.

>post-humanism
I'd probably wait for diamond tipped corneas too.
I don't think my vision is as bad as I made it out to be. I can still see far w/o my glasses but its like looking through frosted glass the farther it goes. If I were in a hot air ballon (because I've experienced it) I could still see to the horizon w/o glasses, and I can tell what is sort of over there by guessing what the color is.

I've always been really good at guessing (lol). And for most distance things I rely in sound to figure what it is, I've always been able to hear pretty far things even if they are really quiet.

I have a slight astigmatism in my left eye, but it only effects me if my left eye opens after my right (if that makes sense)
If I don't constantly focus on something though and relax my eyes everything seriously unfocuses , but I never notice it unless I want it to happen

nigga wat is cool leg?

I was trying to meme it up undertale style but I think I was just being autistic instead. It's college

When making decisions about medicine, remember that technology tends to have a roughly 10 year trickle-down rate, meaning the cutting edge of commercially available technology was invented 10 years ago, and will likely take even longer to become common or available to the majority of people. So I wouldn't wait for augmentations, even if they are being invented now. If you and your doctor think you would benefit from laser eye surgery today, you should probably do it and take the augmentation route once it becomes available. (This advice does not apply 100% for destructive surgeries - ones which remove stuff or damage it).

I would however love eye augmentations... I was treated before laser eye surgery became available so took the hard route.

Also, just for anyone who's never tried contacts, their benefit over glasses is that you have full peripheral vision and don't have a blind spot around the rim of your glasses. This can be extremely useful if you have a large dioptre in your glasses, probably not that useful for people who have a dioptre in their glasses in the +2 .. -2 region.

I should really try to memorize what my prescription/condition is.

Laser eye surgery is/was mainly just wishful thinking for me since I don't have an eye doctor. I get health insurance for 1$ a month but I don't think it covers eyes. Ill probably never have enough money for laser eye surgery

Maybe I'm out if the times but I would still rather have glasses than contacts. In fact most glasses people I know (read: my family) like small glasses or contacts; but I actually like huge glasses. I would kill for some of the 80's glasses I see in old school photos. I like to be able to see more clearly without moving my head. I know lots if people tell me "just get contacts you dolt" but If I was on an island and I had to choose no glasses or contacts; I wouldn't be wearing anything.

This might sound odd/impossible even, but I feel like I can see from my peripherals just as clearly as if I was looking through my lens

[EndgamerAzari]

I feel you on the contacts--I can't get them out of my eyes when I put them in.

On a completely different topic, the premier of Into the Badlands was very promising, in my opinion. It's got a bit of the cheesiness and a lot of appalling, physically-improbably violence of a kung-fu movie in a format that allows for an actual plot.
