He'll likely use the Stren-Tech Home 3000 pro. Great bang for your buck (only 500 or so dollars) and goes back up to 20 years. It has a back travel rate of 3 years per minute, definitely one of the faster time machines on the consumer market.

Eh, I wish my class had a good vibe! I guess it did, especially the whole "senior" vibe. But honestly, I'm glad to be away from most of the people.

Beh! Windows Movie Maker still runs a process in the background even after you have closed it! No wonder I couldn't delete those audio files.

Ooooooh, nice! Does that one come with a lunch box too? Is it more powerfull than the RE-Thurntosender X50? Does it have airbags, or gasbags? ?

Of course! Stren-Tech always does nifty stuff like that.

Quote: "Is it more powerfull than the RE-Thurntosender X50?"
I think so... Yeah, I looked it up, and it seems like the Stren-Tech has about 4.6 more time-space energy unit thingies than the one you speak of. Besides, the RE-Thurntosenders are crap anyway. Ever since John Grembo took over as CEO, that company has really gone downhill.



I just came here to rant about more software... But you guys are probably tired of hearing me do that all the time. It was going to be about mouse touchpads, Windows 10, Hotmail, etc. Baaaad bad bad bad.

I would double post as well, but can't yet. First need to post this post in the Posting Competition. Hmm, seems that the word 'post' has been more than double posted in this post.

Sacrificing points for the sake of the posting comp. Now that's the quality of a leader. If only there were some process of voting a person into a coveted, yet utterly powerless position indicating that one has that kind of quality.

Just wanted to let you know that my browser replaces the word "gain" with "gay" and it replaced your "again".

Why? Because of Mason's Gain Formula.

I haven't seen such a lack of activity since the time in which I wasn't yet spawned on this planet!

Amazing how pre-birth unconsciousness will contribute to a lack of activity on one's part.

I haven't been around much because I've been busy with other things. I recently purchased a graphics tablet to work on my sprite and pixel art interest I've developed over the last few months. I purchased Aseprite and it work wonderfully - I've been getting used to drawing on the tablet. I will probably show you guys some of my work once I've created something worth sharing.

Slowly compiling code, one byte at a time.
Follow meh blague for more zany thoughts and possibly offensive programming!

I head the same thing, back in 2005.

Farewells tours rarely are a farewell, but still, need to see Manowar and Ozzy Black Sabbath (seen them with Dio doing their Heaven and Hell stuff, but still not seen Ozzy), so I might not wanna pass up too many opportunities.

But at least this is what I like about Judas Priest, I think Rob Halford's attitude is pretty much, "I will keep doing this until I'm dead."

Speaking of farewell gigs...Twisted Sister will probably also play their last gig...during Graspop here in Belgium. Their drummer passed away last year, and Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater) will drum in his place, so i've read.

We're not going to take it! \m/

Yesss, I literally froze in awe. I don't often do that.

Although I prefer Dio to Ozzy and I have a good deal of respect for Dio, given how worshipped he was, he remained humble and kept his head, but I would still like to see Ozzy play with Black Sabbath.

But they played on of my favourite Black Sabbath songs of all time.


In my yearly ritual, I am going back again in August, finally catching Iron Maiden this time, because last time they played I didn't go and they've had a habit of playing the opposite festival to the one I'm going to.

I am going to see them this year, I cannot wait, but I hope they keep going, I love Dee Snider. I love how their music career went from "we're a serious metal band", "we got criticised for being too gory/violent and taken to court, but we won the fight", "Now we're going to rub it in their faces", "And now we're no longer going to take ourselves seriously and just be over the top, especially if it annoys people."

Phew, I just got back from quite the adventure... I was using compressed air to spin a toy gyroscope at high speed, and it got going fast enough that it disintegrated, sending metal shrapnel flying everywhere. One piece of metal (about 5 or more grams, 1.5 inches long) managed to embed itself in my, ahem, manly region. Got it surgically removed yesterday under a full general anesthetic. Thankfully, nothing was damaged. It could have been much worse.

That's why i suggest that Forum Presidents should wear armor protection all of the time, even when eating cookies (with or without coffee)!

It prooves that you get back up after life threatening incidents, and that you would do anything to make these forums great again!

I have successfully implemented FABRIK in Urho3D - a very efficient inverse kinematics algorithm.



It currently only supports a single chain, but I'm working on supporting an arbitrary amount of end effectors.

Hopefully I can! The video's a bit traumatic for me ATM, but in a bit hopefully I can show it here.

Quote: "uhhhhh, which incident? The lodging or the removal?"
Why, both of course! A video of the lodging, it is. Well, rather, a video of me stupidly spinning a cast aluminum disc up to 35,000 RPM until it disintegrates; the specific lodging of shrapnel is out of view.
