I've never tried it. I guess I will one day. Find out exactly what creating my own multi-server MC server actually entails.

Quote: "Look into using https://www.spigotmc.org/ instead. It's a fork of bukkit which works with newer minecraft versions"


Ah! THAT'S how the big servers are still going! I wondered what alternative to Bukkit they were using. Looks like they probably all use BungeeCord too. Well, when Flash Buddies eventually gets its own server, it'll be using Spigot and probably BungeeCord as well Thanks for informing me

Wow, nasty. At first I was looking at the photos and thinking that your (Kayla's?) car could potentially be repaired, but then I noticed the doors are no longer lining up, which means the whole body has twisted. Unfortunately they're both totalled.

Watched Edge of Tomorrow again tonight. Forgot how good that movie is! Seems like Tom Cruise simply does a really good job of acting clever action films

It was Kayla's car, she was driving. And yes they are both completely scrap metal.

Surprisingly I slept very well last night, and waking up I am not nearly as sore as I would have thought. My headache is gone, the only places that hurt are my right arm, right shoulder, and left lower back, which makes sense since I probably twisted around as I hit my door with my right side.

Keep in mind that the driver's side is on the left, since America insists on doing thing backwards

And Zoq, I'm pretty sure we spun around at least two full rotations, from the position of the car it was dang near three. WE figured he probably didn't spin at all, but because we spun around it flung his car into a u-turn which is why his car is facing that way.

Sadly the pictures don't do any of this justice. You can't see the wires hanging out of the bottom of the car, and you can't see the break and transmission fluid leaking.

That must be confusing

I spent seven hours vividly hallucinating then I woke up and ate the meat of other animals for energy, now I'm going to do something I don’t want to for eight hours for pieces of paper.

Oh WOW. That looks spectacularly RUBBISH! It's not very bowtie-shaped, way too big and it's way too easy to see the individual LEDs! It's also way too chunky. We have the technology to sew electronics into fabric... they need to look into that.

He doesn't look so cool with his prices . He wants a $150 pledge before you get a glow-tie. You can get similar LED-pattern products for $9.99, like bicycle wheel clocks and spinning LED patterns.

I think his $7,500 pre-purchased components will be sat in his garage a while.

[EDIT] 10% of the price and looks like a material bow-tie. He has a lot to learn about sales and marketing.

Maybe a Rave party gimmick, as I guess he tried to market it as at the end of the video, prolly really should have just stuck with that angle. Then comes the price, a ridiculous amount, as you say Bat.

I can't even see ravers paying that kind of money for a gimmick, especially as raves typically involve a lot of alcohol and for something that could get knocked off, stepped on and broken, they might not be too pleased. Other applications? Can't think of any. It's a party gimmick.

He should leave the bow ties to the experts:

Quote: "[EDIT] 10% of the price and looks like a material bow-tie. He has a lot to learn about sales and marketing."


And it looks much more elegant. At a formal party with a DJ, I could imagine the DJ wearing this. Or even some of the guests, depending on what kind of party it is. A lot of student balls, I can imagine this suiting.

I know it's wrong to mock, but it's fun so let's.

Quote: "Home-Made art, not available in stores!: I'll hand draw a personalized picture of a dog wearing a Glow-Tie. or a cat. or a hippopotamus in space, or whatever you want. It'll sure be "art" alright, but I can't promise I'd put it on MY fridge. Would wait to ship with a Glow-tie (if you order one) AND actually want it to be shipped to you. Otherwise, I would email you a PDF scan and the original will be destroyed."

I hate having to type color when using DBPro... probably the same for AppGameKit too...

Wish they just did Colour as it is supposed to be every time I need to type color I end up typing Colour first... also my browser is highlighting color with a red underline lol

I'm guessing if such a system were ever implemented (it's been developed but not implemented) they wouldn't allow such numbers in the first place.

Don't they already stop you using 3456 or 7777? I thought you couldn't use consecutive or repeating numbers (more than two in a row).

I missed that. Thank you muchly for pointing that out to me!

Working for me! That reminds me of what Wikipedia does sometimes, the solution to which is clearing the cache.

Wasn't the cache. The very first thing I do whenever a page malfunctions is Ctrl+F5 (refresh from scratch i.e. without cache), but when that didn't fix it I fully cleared the cache. Still didn't fix it so I restarted Chrome. Fixed now. Must've been a graphics rendering glitch. Incidentally I realised only the bold text was missing, nothing else.

I don't get how an oxford comma would change the meaning of that sentence.

Peter Ustinov's highlights will still include an encounter with a hmhm-collector, with or without a comma.

(you shouldn't be posting that kind of material on TGC btw).
