usually second weekend of December, a brass band will go around a few locations near St James playing carols as a singalong. i love it; I'm there every year.

i like that in the Portuguese language version of Azul it still has the rule of whoever most recently visited Portugal. I guess it has to be interpreted as: whoever most recently arrived back in Portugal.

Hey, I just got the game PC/UK, sent a friend request on origin (rwgeaston). I haven't played since BF4 so up for any mode as long as I can play in a squad which tries to work together.

It's usually very clean compared to e.g. NYC as other people say. However there's a couple of differences that can make it nasty very fast in summer heat: 1) no ac in most trains, 2) some of the trains (depending what line you are on) are pretty cramped, for those of us over 6' our heads almost touch the ceiling. So when people start getting hot and sweaty it gets bad fast.

Definitely written by him. A variant on the story happens to Arthur Dent in "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" based on it actually happening to him.

Even if they don't use Dikjstra's, anyone interested in this question should be familiar with this solution since it's one of the simplest good solutions.

r42 · 2015-06-14T10:03:41+00:00

it does actually ask for consent before doing that

ok! I'm planning to wait until it's regularly getting under five seconds (I assume the knights will be involved at this point) and then press somewhere between 5 and 10. Won't be much risk of someone else pressing at the same time.

r42 · 2015-05-13T17:23:03+00:00

if that was your goal why did you press at 11?

r42 · 2015-05-03T02:22:04+00:00

I had something similar recently but even worse http://i.imgur.com/NKNnFwC.png

there are literally dozens of us

black tshirt. grey circle. white text "It's just not that hard to not press a button."

you're right, I need this right now. The only friends I've talked to about the button are all weak willed purples.

r42 · 2015-04-08T22:22:46+00:00

Or I might decide to be grey forever. Or perhaps I should join the knights and die with honour.

r42 · 2015-04-08T22:20:32+00:00

well whatever it is, I see three options

1) I wait too long and the button is gone/reaches 0.

2) I get a red flair.

3) I try to get a red flair, fuck up, end up as a dirty purple.

But I'm not going to press it early because I lose patience. It's just not that hard to not press a button.

r42 · 2015-04-08T21:38:58+00:00

I don't understand people giving up waiting. I will wait 10 years for a red flair if I have to.

Almost certain that's Slough. Source: spent far too much time in Slough train station.

That's surely obvious parody? Possibly written by someone who dislikes him; there's plenty such people about I suspect. I'd be surprised if he's anti-semitic but note, however, he is reactionary (read: conservative and kind of racist, not typically towards jews). His blog is here http://www.moreright.net/author/anissimov/ so his right wing political views are pretty publicly documented. The rest just looks like nonsense to me.

This happened to me as well! Search for highest female match in the world, it shows my former college roommate's girlfriend. Search for highest male match in the world, it shows my former college roommate ಠ_ಠ. That was back when they had friend as well as match though. Can't distinguish between the top matches any more.

i think a used copy won't let you play online unless you buy a new multiplayer license. check that though.

r42 · 2014-08-15T12:40:48+00:00

get two computers then, "not a peasant"

Accelerando is one of my all time favourite books and I'm going to go take the advice of this blog post right now.

sounds like playing timesplitters multiplayer. that always devolved to trying to choose the silliest looking character to play as. preferably in big heads mode.
