...now that's a name i've not heard in - two months...
...we had the 4016 with an external tape drive: not quite as much geek-cred as the 2001, but still respectable...
...is that the demo?..
...unfortunately they're rife with oppressively disruptive advertising these days; just not worth reading anymore and my battery life agrees...
...every employer i've worked with endeavors to put people doing the actual work on salary as soon as possible, so they can harvest that sweet sweet unpaid overtime for maximum profitability...
...nah man, i'm here for casual conversation; nothing at all shameful about honest ignorance, only willful ignorance...
...because it's a plainly ignorant statement akin to "i don't like french music": do you just dislike music malt whisky?..that's a fair statement, but one which would apply to all malt whiskies regardless of nation of origin, as there's no unifying style distinguishing scotch in particular...
...conversely, if you don't mind other malt whiskies but dislike something specific about scotch, that's indicative of narrow experience coloring your expectation of a vast ecology of styles and expressions which have little in common other than being based on barley, water, distillation, and age...
..."i don't like scotch" is a common statement from folks who've only sampled peated malts; your listerine comment sounds like medicinal peat notes, which are a divisive style...
...i generally prefer windows open to the world but i'll concede that it's niiiiice, though: i never sleep better than nestled underneath a blasting window-box on a hot summer night...
...'scotch' encompasses such a vast diversity of spirits that i presume anyone who blanket-dislikes it either 1) doesn't like malt whisky in general, fair enough, or 2) mis-apprehends a specific style as endemic to scotch whisky as a whole...
...the latter folks typically dislike peated malts, often after sampling bottom-shelf blends...
...i went to school in the tropics without air conditioning, neither in the classrooms nor dormitories, and it still feels like self-indulgent opulence to me every time i come home to air conditioning, even four decades later...

...where's eris?..
...if there's one thing bob and doug mckenzie taught me, it's that time stamps are very difficult to fake...
...well maybe there's just the one and she's not doing so well...

TIL
...it's been the frontier of human condition for as long as we've wrought civilisation from the wild; always ephemeral; always pollinating, seeding anew, and burgeoning along the fresh meadowlands of social intercourse...
...every time my network goes down...
(spent six hours wrestling with AT+T's managed fiber connection last night, cursing like a naboo the entire time)
Dice Bags
...i need a really good bag for about eighty chessex-style dice: any better-suited options out there than the crown royal standard?..

Dominate Person - Indefinite Duration
...how would you characterise dominate person cast with indefinite duration?..
...upcasting dominate person at eighth level can maintain up to eight hours with concentration, so i'd be inclined to consider twenty-four hours duration equivalent to a ninth-level spell, but perhaps i'm under-gauging the difference in power between eighth and ninth-level spells?..
...regardless, in this particular case it was cast with indefinite duration plus disadvantage on the saving throw against a hostile player character, which i'd like to translate into mechanical terms: maybe a ninth-level casting with heightened metamagic plus silvery barbs?..
...i'm playing with a DM who has a poor grasp of fifth-edition's mechanical balance and i'd like to help him understand just how adversarial his homebrew and houserule tendencies are leaning, especially for early tier-two gameplay...
