Surgery yesterday. Feeling a bit sore and delicate today. Apparently this will continue for at least the next 2, possibly up to 7 days.

On the bright side, work gave me convalescent leave until June 11th. Which just happens to be the Queens Diamond Jubilee public holiday here, so I'll go back on the 12th. And none of it is coming out of my own leave. :Rodeo:

I hope you have got m'lady Sombra nursing you back to health. :tongue:

Sombra is probably the exact OPPOSITE of a lady.

I think Cy was referring to Mrs Sombra

Hmmm ... yes.

I inhaled some chlorine fumes (not chlorine gas, mind you, just fumes from some granulated pool shock) and now I've got a sore throat.

I'd prefer to be mindwiped - would be less painful.

Gah!
Fuck you overly expensive and unjustifiably shit public transport.
I was in a good mood this morning, despite sleeping horribly and feeling like crap on and off.
Got some friends coming round tonight to start getting our Fantasy Craft game ready to play, which I am thoroughly looking forward too. Was also going to be meeting Shiara for lunch, and I always look forward to seeing her.

Instead because of public transport i ended up driving around the city for 2.5hrs not letting the speed drop below 80mph or else a bomb would go off...

It's my mum's birthday today and I had organised an entire evening for it but my brother decided he'd invite his friends over tonight as well and so did my younger sister so now none of my plans are doable and it really annoys me since i made a point of telling them i'd be planning something. Involving a machete and a hockey mask.

My sister woke up covered in measles which means she was infectious the last two times I saw her which means I could possibly be infected which will most likely have me sick just in time for my friend's wedding......hopefully I'm not infected because I'd hate to spend the next six weeks in quarantine while a rage measles epidemic wipes out civilization.

Long story short, I volunteered to be the lead editor for the scripting of a game project that one of my friends started. The rest of the staff are nice people, but one of our writers writes like English isn't his first language (that's entirely possible). It's gonna be a long few weeks, slogging through this bastard's dialogue.

Fortunately, I'm not writing the plot, designing any of the characters, or working on the game mechanics (though I did say I could code some if they needed me), so whether the game succeeds or fails is entirely not my problem. I'm just here to make sure it sounds coherent, consistent, and literate.

As I said, I did volunteer. I'm not getting paid, but we'll see what happens once the business end gets decided.

We've gotten all of the staff on board pro bono, at the moment (including a really spectacularly talented artist). Funds are coming from somewhere (it might get kickstarter'd or something) for development hardware and software. But I don't know, it's not my problem.

Can't put this in the SCIENCE thread since that is so partisanly biased towards a PRO-science stance. Here's good news for those you who are ANTI-science:

"Who are young earth creationists, Alex?"

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

There is science based off emperical/historical data and then there is science based off guesstimation and possibility.

I like how the argument against the bill in the comments involves the whole 'when their buildings get swallowed by the ocean they won't be so quick to dismiss global warming'. Because you know it'll happen so quickly that things will be swallowed and yet only using historical data from after 1900 is unreasonable because the changes aren't linear and it isn't occuring at a fast enough rate for it to be well documented from just the 1900's onwards.

Sure it may mean that by 2100 certain buildings may need to be knocked down and/or relocated but why not make the most of the land we have while we still have it. Compromise - don't allow hospitals, nursing home and the like to be built on the lower oceanfront areas. If people want to invest in property that might one day fall to the ocean then let them.
