I'm envisioning a drunk scientist trying to explain weather and/or heat death to Joe Barton, who might be drunk himself too.

So it's impossible for mankind to affect something so grandiose as the planet's climate by pumping out greenhouse gases, because God alone controls the climate (), but on the other hand throwing up a couple alternative energy windmills will do the trick. Something tells me it's not God lining these guys' pockets.

Reddit is actually a hive of scum and villainy. I was lurking in the fantasy subreddit and made the mistake to explore. The internet man, never again.

Hey, wait a minute, I'm on the Internet! You better take that back.

I have consumed a Rogue Farms Single Malt Ale. It tastes like a blond ale + Popeye's biscuits. I'm not sure if I really, really like it or find it repugnant.

The uncertainty is why this documentation of the experience goes here in this thread.

To be scientific you should also post the exact post in the 'What making you happy thread'.

And don't worry..uh..worry, I could never stay away from the internet. It's the only form of entertainment I own.

Aren't they the party that got accused of racism by the BNP?

Nah, the BNP are moaning that everyone is calling UKIP racist and taking the limelight from them! The true racists. Or something like that, I don't listen to the BNP. UKIP are a bit different because they actually seem to have a lot of support...

I don't really know how having support makes them different. Just means all the I'm Not Racist But people have someone to vote for that isn't historically tinged with neo-Nazism

Different in that it isn't so easy to just brush them off any more. Everyone used to do the equivalent of smile politely and indulge their little rants but the 3 main parties were so caught up in backbiting and trying to discredit each other that they didn't notice that UKIP actually became popular and are now a bit of a threat. Seems to be a bit of panic from them now and every UKIP idiot that says or does something stupid (and there are a lot of them) is pounced on viciously.

Look up the guy who said the floods we had were due to gay marriage or the one who said that minorities come from "Bongo Bongo Land" or something.

My grandfather is spiralling into complete dementia at a disturbing rate. At his 87th birthday in december we could hold a normal conversation whereas now he's forgotten the start of a sentence by the time he's halfway to the end. We had to move him to a home as my grandmother can't take care of him anymore, which might be the worst part as all their old friends are dead and she's lonely enough as it is.

He's lonely too, though there's a lot of people at the home and it's a rather nice place. He can't quite remember why he feels lonely, but he tries to explain that the room feels so quiet at night. He struggles to sleep and is often found walking the halways at night looking for something. The nurses say it's a common reaction and that he'll settle in when his new environment becomes more like a home. I'm not so sure. This is the first time he's been truly alone in 65 years.

Dude that sucks. I went through that issue with my own grandfather, my thoughts are with you and your family...

Nigel Farage is just a Tory in arseholes clothing.
I can't decide which one I'm the most indifferent about.

what really messed with my groove was during my ever lasting search for the lettered edition of the Malazan book I did an Ebay search. Holy shit Memories of Ice was actually there! Fair enough $2k otherwise known as £1.2k ish. Fair enough its super rare and will probably fetch that or close. What did fuck me off was this prick selling it purposefully wrote 'not selling future rights, if I do sell the rest in the future, you get first refusal'. Who the fuck wants one of the series lettered and not the rest for a start. And this complete tosser is obviously wanting to keep buying them at bargain publisher price, then sell them at 1000% markup shortly after for each book. Fuck you you fucking prick...yeah this pissed me off....sorry. I would genuinely love to own the books in the most awesome edition and keep them forever like I am with the ones I already have, but this dude or dudette is ruining it for one person who wants the whole collection, who has the first two books? Is he only selling the third to ransom the other two at an even more stupid price?! Who knows, looks like I will keep my numbered and be grateful as this is a classic 'first world problems' kind of gripe, but greedy bastards really annoy me haha

I feel the same way

[Tarthenal Theloman Toblakai]

i really need to get back on the Malazan FB page, problem is I can't see FB at work :-( thus limiting the chance I get to see it!

[Morgoth]

It happened on facebook? That's dissapointing.

[Tiste Simeon]

Yeah all Malaz related drama seems to happen on the Facebook page. A lot of the people on there are a bit idiotic at times...

Link for those who care.

The last couple of days have been absolute hell. I am really surprised by it, as I haven't made any changes in my lifestyle lately and have been happy with things for a while (other than the odd gripe about work or traffic documented here). I got back from vacation a few weeks ago, had great weather there, have great weather here now. I don't understand why now. I overcame clinical depression earlier in life and haven't touched meds in ten years or so, but the feelings I've had the last couple of days have topped anything I had back then. I have nowhere near the same support network I had then either (though a bunch of that melted quickly - good way to show who the true friends are is to go through a really rough patch). I really don't want to have to go back on meds, but if I feel the same tomorrow I have to see someone this weekend.
