Congrats QT. Just remember "Worry" is a fine unisex name.

I'm not gonna say whether it's on the list or not...

Please, when you have such strong names like "Simeon" in contention, nothing else seems right!

Also, congrats!

Oh Microsoft - you so funny!

This is why Elon Musk is right to say we should fear unrestricted AI. Not the AI itself as such, but whoever gets to "raise" it.

Epic book purchasing crawl a resounding success. About a third of my Goodreads to-read list is currently in my backpack and shopping bag.

My brother finally managed to install Skype so we can video chat. Took him only a couple of years. Pretty sure I hadn't seen his mug live for five years or something. Hasn't changed one bit.

Is this anything to do with your ... recent issues? :nuke:

(EDIT: never mind, just saw your groove messing post)

Also, is that the stuff they call "Hillbilly Heroin" or am I thinking of something else?

Hmmm ... a quick Google says Oxycodone is the drug and Oxycontin is the brand name that contains the active ingredient Oxycodone.

Either way - please be careful.

I may or may not have just finished 18 straight hours of BioShock 2 and Bioshock: Infinit.

Fuck me those were good stories. At some point in Bioshock one I killed a protagonist while thinking " That's for hurting my daughter you son of a bitch" ...
Also, I was familiar with the main concept of the Infinite (Come on, that's like first grade sci-fi) but it was implemented so well here that it still fucked with my mind. Poor Booker.

Overall, I think I'm getting withdrawal like you would when you finish a good series.

My friend and I have this weird built in tolerance for that stuff such that regular prescriptions didn't help us deal with the pain from his knee surgery/my lung collapse.

We both ended up getting stronger stuff in a much smaller amount and then just toughing through the hurt. I don't wish this experience on other people, so I'm glad it works for you. It worked better for my brother during his wrist surgery, so it isn't something widespread in my family.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

Yeah, It was a pretty good series. I think they were the first FPS games I have finished in my entire life.

It is legally prescribed for my surgery pain. No worries, I am out of it after tomorrow so this isn't going to be an ongoing thing. I'm not going to lie though, I am enjoying it while it lasts. I can totally see how people develop a problem with this stuff. If I needed to be on it for a long amount of time I might be I trouble when it was time to stop. After only a week though there should be no problem.

As I have mentioned before, I occasionally spend a couple of evenings reading to my visually challenged friend. Recently we finishes Lord of the Rings, which he loved. Now we are reading Hound of the Baskervilles. And once again its so great to read these classic works with somebody who is encountering them for the first time. His reactions, his enthusiasm, the way he stops me occasionally so he can puzzle his way through the information and create his own theories, it really makes me happy to be a part of this experience.
