Kudi's post was sarcasm, you should really learn that Kudi believes the exact opposite of most everything he says.

Apparently, it bears repeating.

Yes, he posted some video tutorials.
You can find the links in this thread.

This book supposedly is also very helpful if you are using Blender.

Sounds like something that would crash.

Opine, you live in Western PA?  How interesting, I live in Western PA (Go to school in Erie, family based in Butler).  Yes we eat, breathe, drink, and sh*t coal around here.  It would take quite a revolution in thinking around here to stop using coal - it simply won't happen unless we run out of it or theres a federal mandate of some type.
Well, hello fellow PAer  :) I probably live ~45 mins from your family. I'm close to downtown Pgh.


My room and office were trashed.

I'm glad to hear that you and your friends and family are okay. What a devastating situation.
(And sorry to hear about your mean girlfriend on top of everything else!)

A terrible situation in which no-one has been subject to a dangerous amount of radiation.
Really, the way people are reacting to this is hilarious. 10,000 have died and we've ignored all of that because of an incident at a nuclear plant that has killed no-one.
It's also hilarious that every year people die in coal mining accidents and oil rig fires and gas explosions and no-one cares. It's an acceptable risk to take for us to have energy. But when something happens at a nuclear plant that hasn't actually harmed anyone, it's "OMG END OF THE WORLD WE MUST SHUT DOWN ALL NUCLEAR PLANTS RIGHT NOW ITS TOO DANGEROUS".
The double standard to which nuclear energy is held is ridiculous. It's as if people hear the word "nuclear" and their only thoughts are bombs and 50ft mutants.
True.  The sooner we go Nuclear Fusion the better, but people probably think that means some kind of crazy ass meltdown.
Well, I hadn’t been thinking “conspiracy”, and maybe that was naïve.
But I see your knock at environmentalists, and raise you coal-fire power as the culprits. (At least in the states.)
We aren’t as advanced as you kids over there. Only about 20% of our electricity comes from nuclear energy (I think places like France get ~78% from nuclear power).
The majority of our electricity comes from coal or gas fired power. We <3 that stuff over here, despite possible mining death tolls. I live in western PA, and it is a HUGE mining area. It’s basically one giant mining town. Any attempt to switch to a different power source meets anger here at jorb loss potential. There are billboards on our turnpikes that say “Sun sets and wind dies. Coal has powered you for 100 years.” They forget to add “coal burns up”. (srsly wtf is that? Sun sets… no kidding Sherlock, invest in a frackin’ smartgrid, to store the renewable energy. And ugh, I said “frack”. Let me get more angry – why aren’t you taxing the marcellus shale collection, PA?)
Our nuclear stations in the US are pretty old and will need to be replaced soon. It takes like, 20-30 years to build a new one, and yet no one is starting any new constructions. Nuclear energy is much cleaner than fossil fuel burning plants. So if anyone was trying to make nuke E look bad I’d point my finger elsewhere first.
While I do feel this is worth worrying about for Japan (because it’s like pouring salt in a wound, they really don’t need any more on their plate right now) I can def see your point, in relation to the US. This “spin” is probably going to be used to halt any plans to create more power plants in the US, indefinitely.

Edit: Interesting, PBS just pushed out an article saying that in the face of global warming, people (including environmentalists) all had been looking at nuclear power as the "lesser evil". They don't think this will negatively impact our plans for further nuclear power development.
I guess time will tell.

I'd rather pay more taxes, and have socialized health care, than the sh*tpile we have now.  Don't know about you, but I like being like most every other first world country
Ditto.

Shadow of Colossus and ICO HD remake coming out sometime this spring.  It's my next purchase.  Can't wait.
Is it just me, or does this not look all that different   ???
Or is my memory of the original just building it up to have been more awesome than it was?

Quote from: Furzball
Ah that makes sense. Reason I was confused is cause I figure a Desktop would be back at base/basestar, and laptop is a good Auxiliary Control Center with all the desktop connection stuff where you could control your desktop from a starbucks.
But yeah, now I see it had to do with timing rather then purpose.
Yeah, I did actually consider calling my laptop Raider, instead. But that made it seem so... expendable.

I refer to our desktop at the Auxiliary Control Center.

I call my laptop Basestar.
I don't get why it isn't reversed considering the names?

Only because I got my desktop first (years ago). And was watching BSG when I got my laptop.

I've gone to the Jersey shore a couple of times for vacations. We usually stay around Wildwood when we go. I've never seen anything guidoesque there.

What I dislike, is how much people like that show. There is a grad student in my dept who goes by the name "Sammy". That is not her actual name. She tells everyone to call her that because she likes Sammy Sweetheart. Why on earth would people want to emulate that type of behavior?

That is absolutely right. The constellation has a belt, there was a cat named Orion in MIB, and two of the stars on it are Betelguise and Bellatrix.
Ah, there's a Bellatrix in it! My first thought was "a drape?"   :-)

I live above a star, and yet I never burn,
I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn,
I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between,
P.Q.R.S. are my initials,
Now, tell me what I mean.

I never take off my belt.
I personally know a dangerously insane bio-exorcist, as well as the person who killed Sirius Black.
I was once portrayed in film as a cat.
Who am I?
Orion?

I'm pretty sure that's right because of the constellation and MIB.
But I need to go to bed. So if someone thinks of a riddle while I'm sleeping go ahead and have at it :)

you had your chances here, sorry, but them's the breaks in my opinion, once you f*ck up and get banned, you're banned, all past, and future accounts. 
Okay, in light of this argument, I'm going to weigh in.
This "once banned, banned forever" is the way it used to be. I think that is the reason there were so many headaches for past mods. I, personally, am glad that is no longer the case. There are things (like the retranslation project) that I enjoy following, and think are really worthwhile.

If people can remain civil, and further the betterment of this qhimm community, then I believe their existence on this forum is a good thing.



You know I was on the phone for a bit...that's when I first found out it could be "Him"  were is that whole conversation? and it looks terrible out of context like that. Really just looks dumb. So yeah YOUR the liar.
But, I remember the night Jari left. You posted on your youtube that master aden was your boyfriend, and he'd just dumped you that night, and laughed about the qhimm fiasco in your face.
Did you ditch your husband - supposedly master aden's friend, in this log posted by Jari - for Master aden? Only to be dumped that night?

Please note - I'm really not trying to do anything to get my ass kicked. I like Mako - the BNS. We've talked before about that profession. It's nice to know someone else in the field. I've had drinks. Maybe I should just log off until tomorrow...

P.S. I think this thread should be renamed

Covarr got is specifically. There were only two pears. So when one fell there weren't pears "plural" anywhere. There was one on the ground and one in the tree.

The wind blew away one from each pear, so now it's single?
This
There were pairs on the tree. I'm guessing only two. If the wind blows one down, then there is one on the tree, and one on the ground. In which case, neither the tree nor the ground has pears.
And this.

Methinks somebody picked the pairs during the strong wind.
Nope.

There is a pear tree in your yard.
On this tree there are pears.
After a strong wind blows, there are neither pears on the tree nor on the ground.
How?

(Hint: no tornadoes or cliffs, also not in my belly)
