I'm also happy but slightly nervous... We have just bought some solar panels for the house. Quite a lot of money to invest but they pay for themselves (heck, we get paid to have them as they put power back into the national grid!) But it's still a fairly big deal...

I think, right now, he is regretting a lot of choices in his life. And his family will continue his evil legacy.

Sorry that post was a bit of a downer. :p

I only just noticed, years after hearing it first, that Metallica's The Thing That Should Not Be from Master of Puppets is actually referencing... Cthulhu mythos? Really? Wow.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Yeah they have a few influenced by Lovecraft. For example, Call of Cthulu...

I just found out that Russian and US navies both have trained dolphins and sea lions.

One man posts a Buzzfeed link and is shunned by a community. The reason may surprise you!

WW, are you calling Macros an ass? Cause I think you are.



What is the proper reaction when you see a good friend post something on FB that is supposed to be an intellectual musing, but actually sounds like someone's elementary school philosophy book report?

Is it my responsibility to:
A) Ignore
:p Start a Flame war with mockery
C) Introduce snarky comment
D) One up him with something more foolish sounding in case he is trolling

Discuss
HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

oh, some rambling wall of text about mankind's place in the universe and the sense of wonder engendered by our capacity for aiming our creativity toward blowing up the planet instead of curing death, you know, that sort of thing
