Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Today, I had a thought.... I wish there was more competition in computer processors.... I look a Intel processor prices.... makes me wish Cyrix was still a thing.
For those who don't know, they were a company that made processors, around in the 90's and they actually REALLY gave Intel a run 4 their money.

I really want to love the Goomba 3DS theme they added to My Nintendo (even got the phone/desktop wallpaper), but the background music is like... Completely off.

Picking up Brawl for $5 in a few. Love coupons.

It's very hot at midnight.
I cannot sleep during this hot situation.
I was sweating before that.

@Anti-Matter yah, well June in Mobile, AL, U.S.A. I lost my A/C for almost five whole days,
and 95deg outdoor at midnight here meant it was 120deg inside, even with windows open, because God forbid that there was not only absolutely no air movement, being right on the coast, the humidity was about 99%

so, I feel your pain amico

@Anti-Matter It's -5°C over here at night, you can take some cold air if you like, I don't mind!

@Yosheel Can you check the alert page, there's an inappropriate username that needs to be changed.

@Octane I hope he likes his new name.

Edit: actually I'm almost sure it's an alternate account for someone we banned.

...Well I guess Vegas takes a long while to render videos or whatever. Bleh...well hopefully it still turns out fine, in decent quality too. I think Movie Maker's quality kept dropping at random times, no matter what I did with settings...

Yeah... Quality rendering takes time.

Seems like this one slows down my computer as well. >.<

At least the long rendering time is normal, lol.

@Nemodius I see you figured it.

@Yosheel
a student in the lab is also on the site and saw my question and came over to my desk to show me how, but thanx anyway

That's one quick student.

@Yosheel
it's saturday and while I'm waiting for some results to the effects of magnetic flux of a generated pulse projection simulation come through, yah, i frack off and so do the students

btw, if you're interested, good news/bad news on space travel, we can theoretically create vehicles get to speeds over 3/4 light speed......
bad news though, space is not as empty as you think, the problem is not the speed, the REAL *itch is micro particles, they are everywhere, like sand on a beach, you see, the faster you go, the more you hit, they are teeny, but with every hit, a teeny bit of material is taken away with it, faster and faster speed means you are travelling through a sand blaster, after a short while....nothing left, but it gets worse, all that friction causes heat, but there is nothing for the heat to disperse into, air, water, nothing, so the vehicle will become contorted and explode long before it becomes space dust, oh, yah, free electrons are a *itch also, guess what, lots of free electrons roaming around the cosmos and they will collect on the hull of your ship, but have no where to go, and all that particulate matter hitting you is also adding to the static electricity, so about 17.392 seconds after achieving 3/4 light speed, you will be a big ball of dusty plasma shooting past the sky and all the people on Earth ignorant to the fact it is YOU will be "Oooing" & "Aweeeing" on the ground as you zip by, morbid, but true

me, my staff and some select students are trying to solve this little issue, otherwise, we ain't EVER leaving this solar system

My flight leaves in an hour and ten minutes. Here's to some rest and people watching!

Buy me an overpriced airport souvenir.

The only thing I tend to buy in airports is food.

...I could send you a soft pretzel from a nearby stand, but I can't guarantee how long it'll last in the mail lol.

Is it an Auntie Anne’s? If not, it’s not a real soft pretzel.

I had forgotten how long and fun Subspace Emmisary was.

Maybe a cup of pretzel bites would be better.
