Also half the reason I went out for a walk earlier was to pick up tea. But I forgot that before I got to the store. Today has been a bunch of little annoyances so far.
If you have a room where all the walls are mirrors, and you turn on a light there and say you can somehow remove the light, with the mirror surface intact would it still be bright in the room?
HAHAH it would sell enough with its nostalgia value but can they still make nokium? the indestructible star-material that old nokia phones were made of
Yeah, but it would be amusing to either test or have some physicist calculate it.
Anno
Well you can already observe the phenomenon in a less impressive manner with any flashlight that has a reflective backing to the light emitting part of the device. Turning off the light will often have a remaining glow in the part for a brief moment after the actual light turns off.
Yup, but say you ahve a perfect ball room of glass and you shine the light through a minor opening, that is covered by a one way mirror it would glow for a while then I think
I recommend these as super dry but excellent snacking snacks.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
what a horrible world this is where we cannot all share snacks
Anno
At the same time though, it allows each and every one of us to develop our own sense of snack culture and style. And allows for a flourishing of varied and personal snacking habits. Instead of creating a single snacking hegemony, countless snacking variations emerge and co-exist. Creating a beautiful snacking evolution.
Speaking of snacks though, the outlet store I was at was also selling fudge coated Ritz crackers. I was kind of tempted to get them. Maybe next time I'm there I'll see if they're still in stock.
the other day in class i was flipping my pen around in my hand and i accidentally lost control of it and it went flying across the room and hit someone and the professor just gave me this "oh you" look and everyone was laughing and i was trying to poker face but i just sat there with this shit eating grin it was pretty embarrassing but also funnys
>according to story, TUC crackers were invented when a belgian baker flew over to the States to investigate the unfamiliar salty crackers and bring them over to europe. As he was sitting on a café thinking about what kind of product he would make, he read a newspaper article about Trade Union Corporation. He promplty wrote TUC on a paper and circled them and thus, the logo and shape of the TUC cookies were born.
>>26791 hope it was helpful >>26790 is your mouth easily made dry?
Anno
>>26792 He seems to have a hard time making smooth circles if that's the case.
>>26793 Hm, I don't think I know the answer to that question. I eat a lot of salty stuff without much issue though, so I want to say no. But I'm not sure.
月
>>26793 on yours, did you follow some APA format or some weird thing no offense but that's some ugly formatting
>>26795 Nope, it's just the formatting that looks best on my paper. I have paper with like a design on it. Or I used to, at least. I don't have the paper anymore but I had letterhead that went with the resume so the formatting looked better there.

I was looking for examples and saw stuff like this https://www.monash.edu/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/580238/casual-resume.pdf like how are you even supposed to read this

Travel videos about trains, yeah. Haha. They were these 30 minute bits about trains of the world and a narrator would take you through the route of the train and all its destinations and scenescape it was really cool the pay was terrible though because rev
月
i wish you could see the kind of awful shit that rev is there's an on-site forum and the whole community is basically there through like REALWAYSTOEARNMONEYONLINE.BIZ and WORKATHOMEMOMS.COM
they have no sense of professionalism they complain about the content of transcripts all the time, like in the forums complain about having to transcribe something with differing political beliefs, or X or Y, or complain about how the moderator is conducting an interview fuck off idiots that moderator has been doing their job for 30 years and you're someone who doesn't want to go get a real job not to mention that they just openly break the confidentiality agreement and talk about the customers freely on the forum
they complain about boring audio content, as though they're there to be fucking entertained. they get mad at the content because it's something that triggers them and they whine about it, or flat out refuse to do work for things against their beliefs like what the fuck people why are you even here
their whole system is fucked, too. the whole management of the service is the worst model in the industry this is a well-hated company there's no way that any serious company would get upset by that comment i made. The only way I think it might hurt (besides being completely irrelevent and unprofessional) is that they might think i'm prone to bad-mouthing former contracts not that rev does contracts anyway

>Based on customer feedback, this project has been returned to be completely redone >Grader comments: >Poor formatting, several paragraphs missing at random intervals. >Lots of mishears. "So the pastor doesnt pee itself" should be "So the past doesn't repeat itself." etc
Oh, that transcript I had to do for myself got graded and I got points deducted for not criticizing myself enough I had to comment on what I said during the session and places where I could improve so like, I'd ask something like "did you do this or that" and then i'd comment "i need to stop presenting dichotomies and start asking more open questions" and then i'd do the bad dichotomies again and wouldn't comment on it because i already recognized that it was an issue and i got points deducted for not repeating myself every single time i did it and the TA apparently expects me to be able to critique my performance on something i'm not yet trained in ? ? ?
>>26811 It's confidential, so I wouldn't be able to see it right? I've done roughly 300-ish hours of market research stuff by now i know it's not the same, but there's a specific manner in how they moderate discussions to not influence the answers I've gotten good at noticing it
I could probably give you good critique, too. What are your objectives there? What's the aim in what you're trying to do with the critiques? >>26816 Well let me put it this way what do you mean points deducted for not repeating yourself every time you did it repeating what?
Why is open questions an improvement?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i don't even know the reason behind the assignment wasn't even explained apparently the professor thought that we had been trained prior to this and we hadn't it's a new professor so i think he just fucked up and now he's just like "haha whatever it'll work out" which it probably will but
月
oh nevermind i get it now
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>26815 repeating the critique that i need more open questions yeah
I know how that goes too. Heck, even just bringing up private conversations with friends over phone or email is nerve-wracking for me. I hate one-on-one conversation.
So.. how is your name not on the electric deal then?
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Oh yeah, moon. I found a somewhat hard to find videogame at a gamestop near you. They only sell it in stores and game stop sells it for like 50% or less of what other vendors sell it for. If I paypaled you the money would you be able to pick it up for me and ship it to me?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also never heard of anyone disputing an electric bill
月
>>26834 no idea i had to give them proof of identification and stuff >>26836 they actually sent a letter saying it was in error and that billing would be delayed but their automatic system doesn't know that, so it's sending out cutoff notices so i just need to find out what's going on but i can't because my name's not on the account
>>26841 Gravity Rush Remastered, they did not make a very large amount of physical copies. Many of them were bought by resellers and it goes for over $100 new. Around $80 used but sometimes more. Gamestop sells it for $40 used. Also it was only available for purchase through Amazon originally, everyone reselling it had to have gotten it from Amazon.
I found a copy near me but it was reserved by someone else, I called the gamestop and they said that they'd reserve it for me if that person doesn't pick it up before 6pm tonight.
Abe Shinzo had another funny encounter when he shook his hand too. Shook for a long time, then as soon as it was over and he was no longer looking at Trump, gave a noticeable sigh of relief and stretched in his seat.

though their music, in my opinioni s bit bland is not bad but, kinda something you listen once in a while, but never for a long time.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Huh, they were originally scheduled to play at a music club that just closed down (I unfortunately never went to it), and the place they are playing now says that they will honor tickets bought for the previous venue. Not sure if I'm gonna go, I'm not really into metal.

月
Awful It's not job-worthy pay it's more like, "Man I wish I had 50 extra bucks so i could buy something this weekend"
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>26864 I probably won't do it then, I have found a few web based employment things that I've considered but I am going to try to get a more conventional job for now. I might do something like that when I go back to school. One of my other ideas is doing math homework for people on fiver. Well obviously I would have a thing that says "I am only doing the problems for people to compare their answers against" but I totally know that people would be paying me to do their math homework for them.
月
You'd be surprised. When I was starting college, believe it or not, I really didn't understand functions well. I knew algebra well, but the concept of functions as a whole was a little lacking. I skipped a lot of high school. So even though I was doing calc, my understanding of functions made me almost fail, and I went back to the very opening of stewart calc 6 and did all the diagnostic work in the opening chapter, and there was a LOT of stuff I actually couldn't figure out how to do.
I would spend hours trying to figure it out and then I'd go ask /sci/ for help at that point, making sure to point out the work i'd done so far and what i'm having trouble understanding, and that it's not doing homework for me because it was self-learning. Having someone who can work through the problem step-by-step for you (which the back of the book fucking fails at doing sometimes) can be incredibly helpful then again i wouldn't pay someone five bucks for it when you could buy the teacher's edition of the book instead
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
I do expect that some people actually would want answers to compare against. Also in terms of understanding function the biggest sort of breakthrough I had was that //functions was that functions weren't just restricted to what you could input into your graphing calculator. This was in highschool though , and I didn't really have trouble understanding them. But I was reading a book on integrals (and fourier series), and there was an example given about the dirichlet function. And it really opened my mind about what functions were.
月
I really had trouble understanding how to model things as a function i was incredibly quick at math, but not very clever at it i still make a point to improve on it regularly
Anno

FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Oh but it would not be $5 per problem. I would probably have a pricing scheme (in terms of problems per $5) based on what type of mathematics it was.
月
Im gonna record myself speedrunning stewart calc and upload it to YouTube
Its very rigorous and also not as long as Stewart's. Although it doesn't cover multivariate or vector. Spivak did do some other books that cover those though.
I have just rather grown tired of monga using soft yuri to sell
Anno
I'd argue New Game isn't really using it to sell. I know there's a lot of series that kind of do, but I think New Game focuses more on game development and office satire/parody than its yuri moments.
Yup but it is a good part of the character interaction.
Anno
Oh man this toffee milk chocolate is really good. I'm gonna have to be careful with this stuff around, hah hah.
Anno
Also I think it actually helps to look at subtext with a lot of these series. I know that sort of thing gets lumped together with >yuri goggles a lot, but at the same time. When you look and Rin and Kou, and you translate their actions into normal life. How many people have "just friends" that would barge into your apartment while you're still asleep to cook breakfast for you. I think there's a lot that can't be said in these serialized magazines, so the authors fit stuff like this in.
how can i break into UX design without UX design experience? that's not rhetorical i'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of low-key areas where it might be of service but not crucial
>>26885 a chu or confession would pass in any that kind of magazine
Kirara☆
Sick and tired of seeing car accidents
Anno
>>26890 Yeah, I guess Sakura Trick runs in the Kirara magazine franchises, so it's not an outright "we don't do overtly yuri stuff here". But I wonder if there's pressure for more "normal" series to stay clear of anything blatant.
>>26892 Doubt, but there could be some guidelines take in say hidamari and shit running in kirara, so it would make sense that has blatant "coupling" in it, but all on the subtext elvel
Kirara☆
>>26894 Every fucking day A four car collision today Like three ambulances Was late to class because of it
Anno
>>26895 I'm scratching my head to think of a non-blatant series that doesn't ship -does ship outside of subtext though. When I see patterns emerge like that, I'm tempted to think there's reason behind it. But I guess that's just human nature.
Also cute picture but nice pantsu.
>>26896 That sounds really frustrating, yeah. I can't remember the last time I saw a large car accident in person. I don't even think news-worthy accidents make it on a daily basis here either.
All I want to do is give her as wide a berth as absolutely possible. She broke up or is breaking up with or is something with her boyfriend of several years recently and is in a miserable state of mind for it apparently. So she's probably going to be even bitchier than she usually is.
Yeah, if you don't remember then just go "prime minister trudeau"
Anno
He had a paper in front of him that was probably supposed to brief him on what he was saying too. Shouldn't Justin's name be on there anyway?
Anno
Never mind that as the man that addresses the media at the White House on a daily basis, he might really want to consider taking some fucking speaking tutoring.

Kind of a random curiosity poll Does drinking alcohol make it easier or harder for you to cry, /moe/?

Apparently Kemono Friends has been getting a lot of attention in fanart and talk thanks to the anime. Even though the anime is the epitome of 3D CGI garbage. I don't understand.
the new focus is tonight so its probably the sacred stones if theres enough characters i liek from th ere i might want to reroll i loved sacred stones >>26998 >>27000 nooooo
>>26999 No I don't think you understand when I say it's the epitome of 3D CGI garbage. Like, lowst -lowest possible frame rates, clipping, backgrounds that don't properly proportion in relativity to the movement of the player models. Even the faces look really awkward. Just go and watch the first episode of the show and you'll see what I'm getting at here.
Wait... when the new focus comes out will the 10k feathers go away I know you can still get it now does that mean I should make a new account now and hope i roll sacred stoens characters with my story gems

I wonder how authentic this show is to NYCs stuff like the tunnels and shit cause this shit is cool, I wanna explore these
Anno
What show? I've heard there's a lot of tunnelwork beneath the surface of New York and some other major US cities though. Namely New York. There's a bunch of stuff like ventilation shafts and tunnels to release hot air and steam (maybe?). It's why you can often see those kind of haunting, mist-filled streets in some movies that take place in the city. Not to mention all the subway work that's gone into the city and is going into the city.
i want eirika or ephraim or joshua or tana and stuff i might not even get any of them in the end but having the chance is better than not i hope feathers dotn go away

Maybe you should just accept that being that selfish is impossible and you're going to lose out regardless of which option you pick.

Every now and then I need to remind my dumbass self that hot things are indeed hot. And that even after you've poured all the boiling hot water out of a kettle, the outer surface of the empty kettle is still going to be very hot for a short while after the water has left it.

Okay Flip Flappers is a good start that was a fun, genki show.
91 Days, Flip Flappers, Re:Zero, ReLife, New Game!, and Iron-Blooded Orphans are all really good. Re:Zero and Iron-Blooded Orphans are both long-form though.
Yuri on Ice and Fune wo Amu are both kind of gay I think. Well Yuri on Ice is really gay and I'm not actually totally sure on Fune wo Ame; I may be mistaking it with another show. Er movie. Potato potahto.

I'd recommend showing up late and skipping Yuri on Ice. Unless you want to watch fruitcakes on ice skates.
Maven
So like.. How come they call it Yuri if they're all dudes
Anno
What's weird is that they've got a bunch of one-cour shows like Flip Flappers and Yuri on Ice, and ReLIFE, and then they put it on the same schedule as Re:Zero and Cowboy Bebop. Are they just going to add more shows in once they end the one-cour shows?
Licenseing issues. Because its a proper club they can't openly flaunt piracy. So its either really old or really new
Anno
That's not really what I'm getting at, hah hah. I mean by the time some of these shows are finishing up, other ones will still only be at the halfway mark.
But then I remembered twelve weeks is probably enough time to finish a single semester. So when the semester 2 schedule is released, they'll probably just have the two-cour shows maintain their timeslots.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>27209 They'll put other shows in the slots that become empty after they've finished those series.
marsh
>phone tying >ever >>27209 Oh. sorry. I see what you mean. I guess they'll just find other short shows to fill the gap.
Honestly, I'd like to join. It might be fun to meet some weebs in the offline world. I just don't know if I have time.
Anno
Well how many weeks is one semester for you?
marsh
12
Anno
Well there you have it. Semester two will probably just have new one-cour shows replacing the wrapped up shows and continue the two-cour shows in their previous timeslots.
marsh
makes sense.
Anno
>>27211 You're in university; I think most people will understand being busy on some nights because of work. In honesty, I think it's something that's at least worth demo-ing for one week. Anime clubs have a certain infamy to them, but they're not all terrible, and even if they're terrible, not everyone in them is going to be terrible. The odds aren't for you here, but it's not like testing the waters for one session is going to lock you in for good.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs

FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Have any of you read the Anime Club comics from Gunshow?
Bitch please you only watch moeshit and old shows you can either wank your pretentiousnes or hipsterism to. Or both. And I think "going on a mountaineering trip to India for a year plus" definitely fits bizarre behaviour.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>27221 I meant not having proper hygeine and running like a ninja from naruto a >>27223 okay, whatever
Anno
Rei it doesn't matter what you meant this joke has transcended your little off comment.
Anyway. It's not even just work. I'm fucking SLAMMED these days.
A double degree plus extra IT classes at the Tech school Plus I already joined a bunch of other societies. Plus trying to maintain PHYSICAL EXCELLENCE.
There are only so many hours in the day and so many days in the week. And the fact is that unlike Mountaineering, anime isn't something I strictly need a club to do. I can watch it alone in my bedroom at my own schedule.
But --- that said -- I really would like to join. Meet LIKEMINDED PEOPLE. So I'm thinking about it.
>>27226 True. You just need somebody else to fly the airlift chopper back to the hospital after you fuck up.
Anno
Well I think you've also proved that mountaineering isn't something you need a club for either.
Anno
>>27225 Well like I said, the odds are against you to find pleasant companionship in an anime club. I can speak from experience in this aspect. But at the same time, some of my closest friends from the past were people I met at an anime club. Some times you just have to take a rough gamble to get a decent payoff. And EITHER WAY. It's not like you lose anything by just sampling the crowd for one day at least.
>>27227 I dunno, man. Five bucks can go a long way. That's like four kilos of rice...
But I take your point.
Anno
Well who knows you might find one girl there who's somewhat repugnant but becomes infatuated with you and stalks you down on campus to repeatedly publicly nag you for when you're going to show up next. WHO KNOWS.
Not if you view the universe as a manifestation of our shared collected consciousness.
Anno
You can view the universe however you want; it ain't gonna give a fuck. It's just going to continue existing in the gigantic and mind-bogglingly massive fashion it has always existed in.
Some times it's fun to not take things easy though. In fact there's a lot of things that are super fun to throw your energy into.

>According to Bourdain, the most disgusting thing he has ever eaten is a Chicken McNugget,[46] though he has also declared that the unwashed warthog rectum he ate in Namibia and the fermented shark he ate in Iceland are among "the worst meals of [his] life."

McDonald's isn't exactly high quality cuisine, but I think even amongst profesional chefs, comparing it to unwashed warthog rectums and your average Scandinavian's breakfast is a bit of an exaggeration.

banguchan
you don't take the order at the window, you take it at a speaker box attached to a menu

Oh yeah, I forgot that some of them had speaker boxes. It's been awhile since I've used a drive through.

>>27324 are you ACTUALLY this privileged fast food isn't something people want to include in their lifestyle it's a symptom of not being able to have better
>>27329 hmm Unless someone asks to go out to lunch or to pick something up (often fast food) I usually just eat like a granola bar and a little tub of yogurt for lunch. It's not like I'm going out to nice restaurants every day.
banguchan
i usually only have two meals a day one is sort of breakfast/lunch and the other is sort of lunch/dinner and i almost only eat panera because it's free but if i'm out with friends we try to get something cheap/unique pretty much the only times i spend money on myself are going to shows and then getting food afterwards
the only times i eat that aren't free food at panera or out with friends are fast food or cheap food cooked at home and the only times i cook food at home are when i'm lucky enough to have time
that means i end up getting fast food like once or twice a week there's no other way to get food at 1am after getting out of work
banguchan
also FUCK yogurt

There's a lot of scientists here that would be heavily sympathetic to the cause. Scientists suffered reduced funding and federal pressure to not communicate findings with the public under the previous Conservative government. It's actually something that stuck out to me, since it was actually an issue my dad took pretty severely with them when it came around to voting last time.

Also a right-leaning political cartoonist (I think?) down there tried to float this commentary on DeVos.
Kirara☆
Yeah, I have no idea of what that's trying to convey
Anno
It's a mimic of this painting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Problem_We_All_Live_With Of a young black girl walking past various racial harassment during the volatile times of the civil rights movement. The cartoon was drawn after left-leaning sympathists barred DeVos from entering a schoolhouse; it's trying to draw parallels between systemic racism of the civil rights era and the way everyone shits on right-leaning political figures. In other words they're being kind of a dick.

Fuck outta here. Before they learn the good methods and then upscale the price of already expensive oxtail. I don't even need this as a reason but this is legitimately antithetical.
Kirara☆
Why isn't this a bigger deal The media should be freaking out like they did with the ban People are getting raided and asking for papers Come on
Because they don't see it. The ban came heavyhandedly from some incompetent dude in power. ICE, on the other hand, are "simply doing their jobs". albeit in terrible ways, but that's what their job is. They don't truly understand how to challenge the root of their systems until it directly affects them. And of course, even if it does get blazed, they can just redirect to "Well, Obama had a lot of deportations too."
Ah, I see. I guess he's been around long enough. But still, this is quite a time.

probably half the reason I like that movie is the soundtrack
There's also going to be a BBC television series about the original series. Which hopefully is a more faithful and less cheesy adaptation than the movie was.
First book will apparently pre-date the original trilogy, while the later two will cover events that chronologically follow the original series. It'll explore the aspects of Dust, if you remember what that was from the trilogy.
