Irony is gold in this thread.

What the dickens?

Yes, I mean Arise -- I actually think it makes more sense that she's petite, I always thought her large breasts conflicted with her badass ninja fighting skills, especially if it's a body type that she chose, rather than grew into.

Why would you think that? Most engineers that I know are proud of their latest accomplishment, and they're not afraid to tell people that. "Hey, this is the best I've come up with yet." And then add to that the inability to sit still. "Now how can I improve upon it yet still some more?" And you get exactly what you got. Also, where was the comment made? There's a difference between "this is the best I've come up with" and "this is the best I will ever come up with".

Wait, the Roxannes are better than the 13s and the 16s? Just convince yourself that the new ones aren't better, and you're done. That's what I'm doing with the Roxannes.

Steins;gate And if you're an anime fan, you should also check out the Ghost in the Shell reboot -- two episodes already up on Netflix streaming.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise in the key of D minor)

Thanks for keeping us filled in, Blutarsky. Continued hopes and well wishes for the best possible outcome. Maybe he can do a Subaru commercial after all of this.

Okay, so it had nothing to do with the wood being inappropriate for a guitar build.

Jeff -- I missed something -- I thought you said in this thread that the Paulownia did not work out. You're saying it didn't work out for you? So what happened to it, did it go back to the shop? Did they sell it to someone else?

No, we just need more of a "work smarter, not harder" mentality.

The progressively less often Linn 24 Bits of Xmas bump. Also, Kscope is offering a free sampler of this year's releases: kscopemusic.bandcamp.com (For some reason, I can neither copy-and-paste URLs into head-case within IE, nor can I click on the stupid link button.)

Curry chicken from Tony Cheng's -- excellent earlier: Kung Pao chicken from Tony Cheng's -- meh

Yeah, more wishes in your and her general direction.

Thinking "deft and steady fingers" thoughts your way!

What is that thing in the top photograph in the middle?[/snark]

Wow. Yeezh. I have no words. What everyone else has said -- wishing positive thoughts in your general direction, glad it wasn't worse/fatal.

I have lots of corks.

Yeah, I cut cable a couple months ago, and had a cable device for months before that that I never plugged in. Can't get BBC America (for Doctor Who) without buying one of the super deluxe packages (really? just for one channel? I think not), but then I realized it was cheaper just to get the one or two shows I want via Amazon Prime (that's how I watched Doctor Who this season, it's probably how I'll watch Game of Thrones when it comes back). I think ESPN is talking about a subscription service, you should look into how far off that is in the future. HBO is, too, but I'm only interested in one show there...

So the ball of cheese is already made, but you're doing what to it? Marinating it or something? I am not knowing this. I want to try doing this, if it's pretty easy.

Lollers @ Windows apologists

It's fine. Every write (erase counts as a write) takes a little bit of life off the SSD, but you've only added one or two writes to it, out of thousands.

Your not-so-daily Linn's 24 Bits of Xmas bump...

I think we can handle a little Doppler shift.
