If it'll make you feel better, we can strangle ojneg on a rope of his own guts. He probably won't like it!
Or we can write him a sternly written letter and sign it by hand.
Either one. Pm me.

I don't know the cause of this upset, and I am not going to go looking for it. It's a community: it takes all sorts. And hey, just because someone is a Trump supporter or a Brexit supporter doesn't mean they have nothing that I can't talk to them about. Heck, I even make friends with rich people in the audio community!

I've seen one or two non-intelligent posts lately. But hey, the contents (or lack of) of that person's brain is their problem not mine.

Here in Finland they had a news bulletin in Latin for over 30 years.

This week I'm reading particle physics on Wikipedia; fun and so impractical.

…unless you're writing a new game engine. Or spacecraft simulations. Or ballistics study. Or high explosives. Or the impact of gamma rays on radioisotopes used in medicine. Or nuclear energy.

Or what happens to water when you drop a rock into it.

So, maybe not so impractical?

I envy my friends who find personal financial planning intrinsically interesting.

Make it a mental game where you want to maximise cash-flow after taxes. Keeps you busy...

Damn... I hated it, found nothing as boring, only wanted to spend it there and then, and now... I'm not rich.

Thank goodness the company-pension minimum contribution was not optional. But sadly, I ignored all the good advice to pay more.

Can't remember if you've seen Knights of Sidonia but it's worth a watch if you want something a bit heavier.

Loved Gundam Unicorn! Good return to classic form for the series, and the animation was top notch. Good palate cleanser after Iron Blooded Orphans (which was still good but... eh?).

Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket is probably one of my fave Installments even though I haven't seen 70% of the other Gundam series.

"War in the Pocket" is next I think. I loved I.B.O. Mikazuki Augus is the Guts-version of a gundam pilot. Unicorn was good, not my favourite. "Knights of Sidonia", will look that up...

That will occasionally happen to me too.. I think it must be some combo of just-right diet and metabolic factors because it'snot the norm.

Hmm, I've never had alcohol affect my mucous membranes.

But I have awakened to find my liver cowering in the back of the closet in surrender.

What about studying recipes in other languages?

(unironically this may be a really good way to add an application to the learning process to really cement concepts/vocab)

Working on it. Once I mastered that I can shut up idiots who think they can B.S. while coming up with (semi)-random grocery list when ordering their food.

one of my profile posts right before live ~May--> The Cure! Disintegration Live NOW: http://bit.ly/2I5CVbp Sydney Opera House -- link is still good!

Think I'm alone thinking [The Same Deep Water as You] is epic and a beautiful transition into Disintegration, and you do need to be in the mood... also, in America, they use to skip Same deep water, we just don't get it-- lol

Plainsong - Pictures of You transition is nice also–

Kate Bush is thuh bestest.

@Deep Funk I can hardly sleep at night how do you manage to nap? Maybe your conscience is cleaner than mine

Imagine working 16hrs outside today in LA's heat, the only saving grace was that it was at the USC med school. Soooo many hot ladies... I cheated though, started at 3am.

Woke up a few times but I had to recover some sleep anyway. Working in the heat and then working in a hot kitchen takes its toll. You sweat like a rain cloud during a storm...

LInux, guys... Linux.

Just say no to Microsoft!
(I don't know anything about Apple, but probably them too!)

Compatibility Blues dude, you know how Bill Gates made that deal with IBM? There is no escaping that microscopic softness, unless you go full Apple or open source...

There's no escape if you are tied to one or more specific bits of Win-only software. If that's the way it is... that's the way it is.

@BillOhio You missed the date and you missed your own post. One more strike and you’re out

On-line dating is hard man. Have some mercy on that poor soul. Sometimes things happen off-line and the on-line part of life gets affected.

Nothing wrong with real world dating either, it's been going on for thousands of years.

I loved Fujifilm Velvia 50 and Kodak TMax.

The Velvia sim in the Fuji cameras is pretty good.

CaptureOne (even the free Fuji edition) has Velvia sim also, so maybe you could give that a try if you're shooting raws. The Pro edition also has it. IIRC they worked directly with Fuji for those looks.

Heh, just remembered I still have 2 packs of Fujifilm Velvia RVP50 5x4" sitting in my wine fridge. I seriously need to eBay that stuff…

For natural portraits Kodak film was better i.m.e. I simply loved, still love the lively colours Fujifilm could bring. A good picture is not always accurate. Sometimes a good picture is (a little) exaggerated...

I leaned a great lesson a couple of weeks ago. If you are cooking for a large group do your prep work way ahead. 18 people is a lot more cooking and coordination than I thought. And it was only Julia Child grilled burgers! Those minced shallots are so good.

Mise en place!

@Syzygy Yeah. Forgot one of the first things Julia teaches you in Mastering the Art of French Cooking. If she’d been there that evening I’m sure she would have given me a talking to, while waving her index finger. :)

40mm dude, I love that focal length.

@Zed Bopp The D600 had a particular issue - I forget what it was but instead of fixing it they created the D610 and replaced D600's with it for free.

I love the 16mm (24mm) focal length. I think I'm getting the 50-140 next, prolly with the 2x tele extension.

I’ll see them next sunday at Hellfest in France. Last time was 2001 in Provinssi, Finland. Can’t wait either.

It might be the last concert of them I can actually visit. I am taking this chance to enjoy the moment.
