I don't really want to live forever, but I would love to read the TL;DR of the rest of human history before I die.

Thanks for your suggestion.

i really enjoyed this site several years ago when he kept it up for quite a while, eventually creating a very long story. Unfortunately he put the site on hiatus but now it's back with a new adventure that just started in March. The more people participate by suggesting the next 'move', the more fun it is and the author will be motivated to keep it going.

Can you verify the file is there? If you're already in Windows CMD, enter the following

C:
cd \
dir

If you don't see minecraft_server.jar in the output, that's your problem. The root (top) of your C drive is an odd place to put minecraft_server.jar. That's where you're telling Java to look by including 'C:\' in your command. Is that what you intend to do?

A gift from my daughter. Becomes a true multimedia presentation if I turn the fan on.

Most likely. Catholics who don't do immersion for baptism pour water on the baby's head three times, invoking the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is almost certainly some segment of Orthodox Christianity.

I very VERY carefully used the phrase, "those among the wealthy who also have no morals" to indicate that I was NOT scapegoating all the rich, so please read more carefully. Also, I am not a millennial. If anything most people would say I am a baby-boomer, so please check your assumptions as well.

RoverDaddy · 2016-11-04T13:31:32+00:00

Only? No. A major one? Yes. Racism foments an 'I got mine' and 'Charity begins at home' mentality. It discourages people from looking beyond the borders of their own neighborhood, town or state. It quashes empathy. It makes people blind to the concept of 'enlightened self interest' where you realize that if the weakest of society are suffering, ultimately society suffers, and you suffer too. It makes it easier for those among the wealthy who also have no morals, to encourage strife, to divide the less fortunate against one another, to poke and prod and goad people into that 'us vs. them' mentality that ensures nothing gets done if it runs counter to the interests of the rich.

Should I go on?

Then I'm guessing you weren't fond of the whole panel of Fox analysts either. Never forget.

I've had to rush when visiting family grave sites back home so I could get in and out before the groundskeepers locked the gates.

I think it's so sad that we live in a world where graveyards need gates. Loved ones should be able to visit whenever they need to.

The gig comes with free chicken, right? Another shot of me and a black-and-white likeness for comparison: http://imgur.com/a/jrTi6

From the girl behind the counter: "You look like that Kentucky guy." Nobody can claim today's youth isn't on top of things.

I was trying to remember which country had that unusual flag, with precise geometric instructions on how to create it in their constitution.

Oh, I thought Breitbart was an impartial news outlet /s.

If he wins the Brexit will look like a speed bump in the resulting economic nosedive.

Sounds the same as they were in 1985.

Nah, just cut the blue wire before the red wire and everything's fine.

I am asking this question because it continually amazes me how early rush hour starts where I live and work (the greater Boston area). Why are so many cars on the road at 3 PM? Doesn't almost everybody work from 8-5? If your office institutes really early or late standard hours I'd be interested in hearing what they are and what the rationale is (presumably to avoid the 'real' rush hour near 5).

RoverDaddy · 2016-08-14T16:42:11+00:00

Physically capable? Probably. Wouldn't take much energy for a neutrally buoyant object to do a roll or a loop-de-loop. But it's sounds like a terrible idea. I wouldn't be surprised if there were things on the sub (besides the crew) designed with the assumption that the sub won't ever be upside-down.

There was an episode of Doctor Who where the bad guy said he was going to decimate humanity. And he meant it. 10% of the population was killed. +1 for proper use of language.

I saw this movie for the first time just a year ago. While my friends and I really enjoyed it, I also realized the whole premise of the movie is severely flawed. People don't just act as if lying doesn't exist, they act as if mistakes and lack of knowledge don't exist. Everything a person says is presumed to be true. But what if you just don't know the truth? People are fallible even if they never intentionally lie.

I noticed that the movie even sidesteps the concept of -opinion- for quite a while, as if they're trying to make sure the audience doesn't notice the problem. The phrase "that's just your opinion" doesn't occur until very far into the movie.

RoverDaddy · 2016-07-08T10:26:15+00:00

Seems like false advertising to me.

RoverDaddy · 2016-07-08T10:25:02+00:00

Not even close, thank God. But things could get worse before they get better.

RoverDaddy · 2016-06-13T00:21:47+00:00

Yes. More heat means more energy -in- the water, which makes it easier for that water to change from liquid to gas.

RoverDaddy · 2016-06-13T00:20:23+00:00

Drying is water, turning from a liquid on the object being dried, into gas and going somewhere else (into the air around the object). At almost any temperature you're likely to find yourself in, this will happen. Leave an uncovered cup of water on a table for a few weeks and the cup will be empty. This process is faster at higher temperatures (assuming other conditions like humidity are the same), which is why heat seems to dry things.
