    I don't know what are the preferences of australian computers maybe some breadcrumbs on the keyboard would fit it's appetite I know it's sometimes hard when the computer doesn't do what you want, but at least it does something, that's still better than doing nothing

    @Delightful you have to find a way to talk to you computer. Some react to harsh language, others require sign gestures... whispering to it might work as well and remember to offer a sacrifice of some kind

    I enjoyed episode 9, however I wouldn't say it was my favorite of the season... Too many things annoyed me during the Battle of Bastards. The scenes in Mereen however, were just great, CGI of dragons was better than I expected

    It's interesting how you can pretty much name your child however you want in USA... In Poland you would have to fight a very hard battle against government workers in couple of different offices if you wanted to give your child a name that can't be found on any calendar or some other list of used names. (They go easy on foreigners at least and allow them to use names from their culture)...

    I don't have the skills you mentioned, however I have some general knowledge about those things. When you open this GIF with GIMP or Photoshop or any other program that is able to handle GIFs properly, you'd see that there is only 1 frame/layer that contains the whole image of the dog, the slide, the boy and grass. All other 59 frames/layers consist of the dog changing position. This is a trick used in video encoding applied to GIF format. In a video there are two kinds of frames, I don't know their proper names, but let's call them base frames and transforming frames. Base frame is just like a photo, full information about what do display on the screen (just like a simple JPG). The transforming frames however consist of information on how to modify the previous frame, to achieve a new frame. Usually changes between two consecutive frames are very minor, so there is less information to store that way. So, a typical movie is made of a series of [base frame, transform, transform, transform...., base frame, transform, transform, transform, ...]. This is the reason why you can sometimes get short glitches while playing back a video, that go away after a couple of seconds. They go away when a new base frame is loaded... In summary, this GIF has one base frame and 59 transforming frames, that include only the dog and not the boy

    @Slowswift imagine her picking her nose and eating what she found there
  11. Mestiv
    I see your point and I'must quite convinced good thinking!

    Insight's power to kidnap people to another dimension might be of use... Maybe that would immobilize her somehow? @Comatose what do you think?

    If you want this setting to be remembered for the stream you use, then after applying the change you have to "Save As New Stream". Give this stream appropriate name and save. Now, you should be redirected to this new stream's page. Right next to it's name there are three small icons: a pen, a trashcan and a check sign. Click this check sign to make this stream your default stream. Now, when you click the newspaper icon on the top of the page you should be taken to this new stream that behaves as you'd expect Hope that helps

    I think it's the reputation you got this week.

    I think it should work to some extent. Don't know much how animals work in Cognitive and Spiritual Realms, but I guess their brain chemistry is not that different from human's. Dopamine makes them happy, some other hormone makes them afraid etc. I'd say you can use a lot of emotional allomancy on mammals, primates especially, but good luck using it on a snail.

    @Delightful I bet you can at least count on full 17th Shard support

    Honor Spren made a picture with a quote from Hamilton, there were a couple posts about an online D&D character test, bible quotes came as an offspring of Father's Day mention. It's hard to write a summary of a Random Thread

    We talk about anything we want. Just write something and maybe you'll start a new subject

    @The Young Bard Don't worry that much about it Get well soon!

    Bye, Winter... Anyone interested in adopting Chase in Corvallis? Or maybe we should give her a spectacular death scene, shaking up the whole city by death of a Queen?

    Hurray for parents, that pretend to have valid argument while in reality they just want you to obey them. Are there any chances of doing X in secret?
  23. Mestiv
    Technically you're right, however Grandpa Smedry said that Attica was always like that, including before the Alexandria incident.

    @The Young Bard wrote that he has Sorting Hat song under construction. I have Victor's sorting post ready and waiting for Young Bard to post his part.

    I agree with Delightful that you should talk to her. To me it looks like she might have the same "problem" as you have, because she doesn't remind you and herself that it's fake and seems natural. I think it's quite possible that the feeling is mutual.
