Random Rants XVIII: It's cold as hell!

You didn't upgrade from Vista, you did a fresh install?

What else have you died from?

I've also been struck by lightning, hit by a train, gotten aids and been stabbed by an ice addict.

Autumn break is over

I'm making a birthday party this weekend and one of my best friends is gonna be in the US in this time. On top of that, today I found out that the girl I'm most interested in (not the usage of the word "most", denoting that she's not the only one) is also not in town. Well yeah, that was an inspired moment to choose on my part! It's not like I could have known in any way, but it's still extremely frustrating.

Ah well, some 25 people said they'll be coming and I'm planning to invite some 4-5 more anyway, so hopefully there will be around 30 anyway... but I'm still annoyed that this friend and this nice/hot girl aren't coming.

I wish I could go to Mirc's birthday party.

 

[Mirc]

Me too!

(oh and I meant "note", not "not", in the post above)

Stainless Steel likes to crash during sieges. I would just autocalc to solve this, but its a large Khorazemian Jihad and its besieging Constantinople, and there is another large Jihad army, containing the Mongol Khan and Subotai, among other elite troops, waiting for the Khorazemian siege to finish so it can have a shot. And another Mongol Jihad is not far behind. I know I will slaughter them all and smear blood on a white bronco if I can command the sieges (God bless you Ballista Towers!), but I don't want to go back and reload it to have it crash on me again.

Interesting, I have never had that problem.

UN doesn't give you victory in Civ 1.

A whole game wasted

 

[Ansar]

I guess at the time of Civ 1, the creators knew the UN was useless

A lot of people are acting as if it was some new black plague.

And someone told me installing sanitizer dispensers was equal to panicking.

Maybe I'd take it more seriously if they didn't classify everyone with a sniffle as having swine flu as an excuse to call it an epidemic.

"Epidemic" isn't the same as "high mortality rate".

The mass hysteria over H1N1.

today i saw a group of asian tourists with flu masks on. we pointed and laughed.

So? According to that definition of the word, I have a right to post my good news here, as long as it has an exclamation point.

Well, anti-bacterial soaps definitely aren't saviours.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

It's an alcohol-based sanitizer, not an anion-fatty acid salt with antibacterial agent added.

Yeah, but by bringing the point up in the first place, you knew this was only for bad rants...


Rant: I can't find the punk society page on facebook!

The current crop of fiftychatters lacks both the sense of purpose and the sense of aesthetics of previous generations. I am VERY disappointed in them!
