While We Wait: Part 6

[~Darkening~]

our refusal to follow the clear bellwethers of fashion (namely me and NK ) shall make you an outcast! SHUN SHUN SHUN

Shun is nothing more than fun with the 'f' replaced by 'sh'. And since when have you people been fashionable ?

The order of godly things Daft does must be Alternate Timeline Experiment, DaftNES 2, other projects some 10-15 years later.

Burn.....

There is only one thing worthy of Daft's amazing talents, and I assure you it is not this petty little "Alternative Timeline' .

If he finishes it then we can get the real NES back in the picture.

What has been happening in my city as of late, and why I am now offically living in natural disaster zone?!?
Fantasamo's city as well

This is all articles from www.news.com.au

Storms leave 100,000 without power.

Okay sure, 100,000 people lost power.... in an area of 1.7 million people... thats like less than 10%, sure newsworthy on its own but it goes on from here

One person dies, stormwater drain, not the smartest of ideas

Sad, but true. People are still dumb enough to get into a stormwater drain while it is raining. In fact they are dumb enough to get in there at all.. Then again I remember when I was a kid I was plenty dumb in that regard, but my defense is I was 8 and didn't know any better

Storm likened to Cyclone Larry

Okay this is where it starts getting a little bit over the top. The storm itself was not like Cyclone Larry, the damage was. Larry was a Category 5 Cyclone (what you Americans call Hurricanes) that slammed into Innisfail back in 2006. It did widespread damage.

The damage in Brisbane is not widespread, yet (see below), however the damaged areas of Brisbane probably have more houses than the whole of Innisfail and the rest of the affected areas, in fact more people are likely affected directly by this, as Innisfail in far north QLD is a farming district town.

City Declared Natural Disaster Zone

Okay so there a few suburbs, really screwed up. Nothing changed for me on Monday or today except for I saw a burnt cow in a paddock near my house on Monday morning... smelt like burnt steak somewhat, lightning must of got him. But is a dead cow and a few suburbs on the other side of the city a basis for the WHOLE DAMN CITY being declared a natural disaster zone.... I don't think so

Floods to Follow Sever Storms

Okay I think this may happen. This morning on the radio the Water Commission was saying that if the rain continued to Thursday lunchtime the dams would be at 100% in a week after that (they were at 40% before the storm on Sunday) The weather channel however tonight is saying the rains are likely to last until late Friday night, if not Saturday morning as they can best see.

You do the math, this does not bode well... But never fear the worse that could happen to me (as my house is on a hill of sorts) is that I dont get to go to work for a few days... Big loss

Get the Full Story

Read more here, if ya interested

And Fantasmo I hope ya all good if the worse does happen, Cooparoo is traditonally one of the harder suburbs hit when it does flood in Brisbane, being on a flood plain and all it does happen from time to time.

why bother to change it? my favourite anime and pic

Princess Mononoke rules

in other news, for you WoW haters.

Get to 80 and then talk about how bad it is. Until then you have only experienced 5% of the game.

Don't be an idiot, if the beginning of a film is crap you're gonna change channel. If they expect me to have to pay for months and months (don't know how long it takes to get to 80) of crap just to get to the good part they can go to hell.

Especially when you basically just grind to get there. It's not my idea of fun, and there is not much that is worth eighty levels of that.

Plus, there are many other games that you can get for free. I'm not paying $15 a month just for a computer game.

maybe he wants to pay our subscription fees?

If he does that and plays through to level 80 for us, I might actually be interested.

This is a problem:

Half of primary-care doctors in survey would leave medicine

But it's okay guys, we're going to give health insurance to EVERY AMERICAN. And given the brilliant success that Medicare and Medicaid have been thus far, having the government subsidize the entire thing is a fantastic plan.

Of the 12,000 respondents, 49 percent said they'd consider leaving medicine. Many said they are overwhelmed with their practices, not because they have too many patients, but because there's too much red tape generated from insurance companies and government agencies.

The government is ruining my practice an entire decade in advance. At any rate, it's virtually impossible to do primary care in this country now. I won't be touching that with a ten foot scalpel.

@Sheep: Oh boo woo, you Australians cry over this? We get these like five or six times every year.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Lucky... please, he wasn't even complaining, he was pointing out how much media was exaggerating a situation.

 

[Dachs]

I think that it is hilarious that you - you being Sheep - refuse to figure out what Thanksgiving is, even jokingly, but decide to put up a response to an overblown media response to something that most Americans aren't aware even took place.

Larry was a Category 5 Cyclone (what you Americans call Hurricanes) that slammed into Innisfail back in 2006.

These two terms do not mean the same thing.

Why is that hilarious?

The double standard?

 

[Kal'thzar]

you havn't got used to that in people yet?


I mean, you NES for God'sake!

 

[Dachs]

you havn't got used to that in people yet?

I have. Doesn't stop it from being amusing.

I mean, you NES for God'sake!

OT would have been a better example.

 

[fantasmo]

@Sheep: Oh boo woo, you Australians cry over this? We get these like five or six times every year.

We ain't all crying. The media is, I ain't. The reason they're making such a big deal is this little thing we've got going here called a "drought" that's been going for over a decade, and got bad enought that we were looking at importing water to supplement the dams, as they all got closer and closer to the empty point. We're not upset because when rain finally did come, it screwed some people up, we're just surprised, because the last time Brisbane got damage like this was twenty years ago, when the last of the cyclones hit us.

Oh, and for the record: climate change has somehow saved me from ever experiencing a cyclone, unlike my parents, who lived here when you got at least one cyclone hitting Brisbane every year. So yay for global warming!

And Fantasmo I hope ya all good if the worse does happen, Cooparoo is traditonally one of the harder suburbs hit when it does flood in Brisbane, being on a flood plain and all it does happen from time to time.

It's lucky I live in Carindale, then....

 

[Angst]

BTW, I managed to miss lord_joakim's Hero of Dawn thread, until a few minutes ago. I honestly didn't copy him when I put together my NEB game!

I point to it as evidence of growing psychic connection to events on the forum.

Also, tile-based battle games FTW!

I believe you, trust me. They have different themes, and I don't expect the older, wiser and more brilliant NESers to decide copying NESes, and especially from us newbs.



BTW, just wondered. The topic have quite possibly been brought up before, but I still want to know what you guys think.

Does being a NESer change you to another kind of person? And specifically, how? How does it change you as an intellectual being, and how does it structure you as a person?

Me, personally, have realized how dimwitted people generally are, and I've stopped reading the free newspapers at the train stations in Denmark (We have such things), as I realized that more deep, intelligent newspapers interest me a lot more. Whenever you guys discuss something big, I hate that I can't reply properly, let alone understand whatever you tell each other because you use sentences with critical complexity and small humouristic elements that are simply delightful to read - if I understand what you say at the first place, of course. Actually, most of the posters in here write ~4 small theorethical articles/essays on philosophical, ethical, political, historical or scientific subjects that some enlightened journalist write one of each day for his newspaper. And therefore I hate not having English as my first language.

This is the same global warming, I presume, that just had flurries hit the states of Virginia and North Carolina this morning? When snow usually doesn't come in any way, shape, or form until after Thanksgiving?

 

[North King]

I believe you, trust me. They have completely different themes, and I don't expect the older, wiser and more brilliant NESers to decide copying NESes, and especially from us newbs.

Haha, you're not a newb anymore.

And therefore I hate not having English as my first language.

The only thing to do is practice. I'm sure we'd all suck at Danish.
