Gotta keep that cute figure!~~

Metamucil ftw


What exactly is Metamucil, anyway? I hear the name a lot, but I... don't actually know. I've been told it's fiber, but it just seems like there's more to it than that to me.

This is probably also me after dealing with dead HD scares.


I am going to rape your face. you know where to find me. come find me.

Funny also how despite all this drama thing, nobody actually tried checking Jul to see it's in the very same demise as board2.

Except...it's not?

You're so far off base, you've gone past the bleachers and into the parking lot.

This is hilarious, coming from a guy who just posted "I am going to rape your face".

Quality Nuggets O' Wisdom™, brought to you by board2

That's hilarious coming from the guy who registered just to write that.

With the currently inflated costs of mechanical HDs (projected to not return to normal levels til late 2013, early 2014), SSDs actually look pretty reasonable nowadays. When I get my tax return, depending on my life conditions around that time, I'm considering purchasing a new computer and getting an SSD as a boot drive and for doing work on (Photoshop & VGSM mostly) with a mechanical drive as a tag-along.

Cymoro and I actually had a semilengthy conversation about this in irc yesterday, and with the current prices, SSDs have come into the <$1 per GB mark, finally.

A month of boredom is a good time to start committing to a physical conditioning routine. I recommend checking out "Never Gymless" by Ross Enamait or "Convict Conditioning" by Paul Wade. I have found both books pretty much are well-reviewed; and further, in reading are commonsensical, easy-to-follow, and require no equipment more or less for daily exercise.

Ask me about them on irc, I'd be happy to dcc copies of both books for anyone who asks. Or you could just search for them on Google, there's plenty of filelocker links for them everywhere.

It's the very least you can do.

On May 20th, 2012 Heritage Auctions will place scientifically important fossils from Central Asia, including a Tyrannosaurus (also known as Tarbosaurus) bataar skeleton (lot 49315), on the auction block. These fossils are strongly suspected by scientists from Mongolia and the United States of having been illegally collected from Mongolia. Mongolian law forbids the export and sale of fossils collected in the country. The President of Mongolia, and scientists from Mongolia and the United States have spoken out against this apparent theft of the scientific heritage of Mongolia. These priceless scientific and natural resources belong to the people of Mongolia and should be returned to their rightful owners, not sold to the highest bidder.

If Hertiage Auctions has compelling evidence that these fossils were not illegally collected from Monglia they should disclose that information immediately.

2012 оны 5 сарын 20-ны өдөр, Херитэйж Аокшн байгууллага Төв Азиас олдсон гэх шинжлэх ухааны чухал ач холбогдолтой эртний олдвор болох "Тринозаурус /өөрөөр Тарбозавр гэж нэрлэгддэг/ Батаар" динозаврын олдвор (лот 49315)-ыг дуудлага худалдаагаар үнэ хаялцуулж зарахаар төлөвлөж байна. Монгол болон Америкийн эрдэмтэд энэхүү олдворыг Монголоос олдсон бөгөөд хууль бус аргаар хил гаргасан байх бүрэн магадлалтай гэж үзэж байна. Монгол улсын нутаг дэвсгэрт олдсон эртний олдворыг хилээр гаргах ба зарахыг хуулиар хориглосон байдаг. Монгол Улсын ерөнхийлөгч, Монгол болон Америкийн эрдэмтэд шинжлэх ухааны энэ үнэт өв болсон олдворыг хулгайлсан байж болох үйл явдлыг эсэргүүцэж мэдэгдлүүд гаргаад байна. Энэхүү шинжлэх ухааны болон байгалийн хосгүй өв нь Монголын ард түмнийх учир үнэ хаялцуулж зараxгүйгээр даруйхан эх оронд нь буцаавал зохистой гэж үзэж байна.


Хэрэв Херитэйж Аокшн байгууллага энэ олдвор Монголоос олдоогүй гэсэн баталгаа мэдээлэл байгаа бол даруйхан олон нийтэд мэдэгдэх нь зүйтэй.


Source and petition link

A judge has ruled a temporary restraining order to stop Heritage Auctions from going through the auction of the Tarbosaurus skeleton.

Temporary Restraining Order Issued by Texas Judge Halts Dinosaur Sale

Late this evening, Saturday May 19, at approximately 10PM CDT, Brian Switek reports on the Laelaps blog on Wired.com that a Texas District Court judge has issued a temporary restraining order to halt the sale of the Tarbosaurus skeleton following an application filed on behalf of His Excellency Elbegdorj Tsakhia, President of Mongolia. The latest details can be found at the bottom of Switek's blogpost linked below.

While the fate of the remaining fossils suspected to have been improperly removed from Mongolia is unclear this represents a tremendous, but provisional victory. Much work remains to ensure that the status of these fossils is fully investigated, and to restore them to their rightful caretakers if they have been improperly removed. The outcome of this incident will send a powerful message to those who seek to profit by violating and evading the proper local legal and scientific procedures required to collect scientifically significant fossils.

Thanks for your support.



However, petition signatures are still collecting as there are more fossils up for auction on Heritage Auctions which were likely collected in the same way given that Mongolia is the only place in the world where these species of dinosaurs are found.

I know it's rather terrible and all that, but I need to ask: How is a petition going to help again?

Clearly you didn't read the links. The petition was presented and used to get a TRO. Continued signatures will indicate a large amount of public support towards getting the rest of the fossils from being auctioned off and further investigation into Heritage Auctions' business practices as well as seizure of the illegally collected material and its return to Mongolia. Individuals involved in organising the petition plan to use it to help motivate the case.

Yes, because this is much worse than posting Eminem song lyrics with someone else and causing tons of posts. I still laugh at how you actually did that.

Pretty sure those were still better than this.

Really, you still laugh? You actually give them that much of a thought?

Must have really pissed in your coffee that day.

Sure, I'll sign your petition. After signing three for an individual I didn't actually know this morning, I'd feel wrong not signing one for Nick.

I don't feel strongly outraged about this or anything, but there's more to lose by not returning the fossils than there is by allowing a private collector to have them.

I wouldn't be as outraged if it weren't for the blatant lying and constantly changing story by Heritage Auctions regarding the collection of these fossils. =/

Thanks for taking action. At least you're trying to help.
