Nokra

We had this before the boards decided to send us back to D1P's Stone Age and I figured it has been a while since I've seen some of your lovely mugs. So let's have an updated thread! Here's me in Portugal a couple months ago:

I was a little sad at first but now, to be honest, I'm actually happy that the boards shit the bed. There's nothing like a fresh start! We let the past die and didn't even have to kill it.

Sounds great! I'm definitely in for this, I loved the first one. Evangeline Lilly

My issue was the icon for tabs in a browser, but I'll go ahead and tag @Nokt since your reply seems to be for him.

I'll go ahead and give this a "like" since I see you fixed it. Thank you, sir!

@Emblazon I'm not sure if this is an issue for you or @Jason but on the SNES theme, there seem to be icons missing for browser tabs: Maybe not such a high priority at the moment but I noticed that it's missing and figured I'd say something. Thank you both! Edit - I checked on the other themes and it's missing there, too, FYI.

I know it's not at all new to say so, but the Republican party has really been hijacked. Obviously it's merely anecdotal, but... My parents are lifelong conservatives, have always voted strictly Republican in every election (AFAIK), live in rural Idaho, etc., and even they didn't vote for Trump and in fact voted for Hillary. I think it's great that Will is following his conscience and has the courage of his convictions. It's too bad that most of the people who need to read his piece in the Washington Post the most are likely part of the TL:DR crowd.

Yeah regardless of how well demarcated the border was, 2 weeks' retention seems very excessive and inefficient. As soon as the mother provided the necessary documentation that seems like it should have been the end of it.

Today I've been trying to work on a programming project for school, but am not very focused. As evidenced by the fact that I'm here.

Congrats on the new job! What made you switch, @Zarich ? Just wanting a change? Better commute? Better pay?

I understand the words you're using, but I don't understand why you're using those words.

We're now "The Conners", and the old shitty boards were Roseanne.

Hit me with your best shot!

Norka? If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions.

I remember also not being particularly impressed with the first Dark Tower book, but they get better and better (until about book five or six and then they plateau). Book four (Wizard and Glass) was one of my favorite books I'd read in recent memory, so I'm glad that I stuck with it. Up to you of course, if you have a lot of other books to get to it may not be worth the time investment, but personally I loved them once I got through the first book. Awesome, I'll be very curious to know what you think of it once you get to it.

@dualhunter I think the problem was just that it has a white background, so viewing your avatar on any darker-colored theme shows an obvious border: Here's a version of your avatar with the white background removed: Since I was only able to get the image from your current avatar the quality may not be the best, but at least it doesn't have the border on the darker themes. If you have a larger, higher-res version of the image I'm happy to fix that instead. Edit - Here's what the cleaned-up version looks like on the black theme:

I was the one who set it in the AdminCP way back when. I think I raised it to 50. Either 50 or unlimited.

My name is pretty shit, in all honesty. I would love to change it, given the new site, but laziness prevails.

It most likely isn't a high priority of course, but we seem to only be able to give around 10 "likes" (or any reactions) in a single day. Any chance we could increase this in the AdminCP again? I want to spread the love!

@dualhunter I just looked and unfortunately I don't believe I have the cleaned up version anymore, but if you want to send me what you've got, I can clean it up.

Looks like a silly good time. Have liked Ron Livingston in all that I've seen him in. Unless the reviews are abysmal, I'll probably see this.

A+ thread title.

I'm reading Landfalls by Naomi J. Williams for the book club I'm part of here, and only have about 20 pages remaining. It's a fictionalized account of the Lapérouse expedition from 1785 to 1788. As the title suggests, the book takes place at their various landfalls along their journey: Chile, Alaska, California, China, Russia, Australia, and finally the Solomon Islands. The locations are historically accurate but of course the dialog is fictional, but exceptional. One story in the book was particularly moving to me, and actually made me tear up a bit, which hasn't happened with a book in a long time. It's a very fun adventure story which is at times also very heart-wrenching. If anyone is looking for historical fiction, I can't recommend it highly enough; it was a real page turner. Next I'll probably read Pet Sematary by Stephen King or maybe And Yet by Christopher Hitchens, because both have been in my to-read list for a very long time.

Why isn't the tolerant left tolerating my intolerance? The complete lack of self-awareness is astounding, especially in a 71 year old man.

Yeah group work blows. I'm doing a "team project" now (and have been for the last 1.5 years) where my team member is actually a friend of mine but he doesn't seem to be nearly as motivated as I am to finish the project. We're using Subversion so I can actually go through and see the statistics about who is doing what, and by percent authorship, I'm at 75% and he's at 25%. I gave you a sympathy "like".
