I suspect human life before reliable dentistry was not a lot of fun a lot of the time.
Many, many, many extant human remains from the classical period and earlier suffered some nature of tooth issue that probably lead to their deaths.
@Derp We have nearly the exact opposite here. Storms and rain and cold, then rather darn hot. Which evaporates the wetness in the ground making it hot and humid. Ugh.

Anything that came before
Sounds like a man to me...
@surreality Dreaming about men, again?
@Sparks said in Atlantis Client:
but it seems to break scroll wheels
While I know it isn't what you meant, I have a mental image of the physical scroll-wheel on the mouse snapping when Atlantis loads.
@mietze And why do they ask for your resume and then also ask you a bunch of questions you can get the answers just fine from the resume.
@silverfox That's why I only quoted the part I agreed with.
Though if any of my students went through my desk, I'd be more than a little annoyed.
@silverfox said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
I totally have zero concept of this taking-stuff-off-desk thing.
Agreed.
Even when I worked at SoulSuck Corp. in an office with a large number of people... you don't just rifle through an unattended desk. You leave a message, be it written or a phone call, to send whatever paperwork over.
No, I am not being "needlessly picky" I am, in fact, teaching your child grammar.
@mietze said in Changeling: The Lost Update [CofD]:
Even on games where it is common to RP being pregnant/having children/ect or even expected, honestly if there is another active PC involved, I think a discussion should happen with veto power on either side to it happening, barring a front-end coded thing so that the people know they're playing the lottery.
I definitely think that for a coded 'solution' to be... ethical, it'd need both partners to enter the command. Or whatever it is.
@Thenomain Not mandatory pregnancy code, but if you're aiming for a generational game - in the same vein as Firan but not as skeevy - I could see the benefit. Though at the same time I don't really know if I want staff constantly knowing how often I get bizzay.
@mietze +1 for small ceremony with bigish reception. Multiple receptions are possible to, if geography gets in the way.
The most important thing I can recall from my own wedding day was thusly:
It is indeed the happiest day of your life. Bar none. I can't remember anything in the week leading up to or after that day. So even though the tiniest decisions can be incredibly stressful and irritating at the time, you won't remember them after. So, focus on the things that bring you joy about the occasion, as those will be the source of memory for the future.
Also it's your day, so if anyone grumps at you just punch them in the kidneys.
@Aria said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
So @insomniac7809 and I, after almost 11 years together, have finally decided to get hitched.
Well that's your first error.
@Thenomain There's a difference between a cat person and a cat-person.
No, reasonably well-educated, middle-aged man that I work with. A visible bra strap is not a dress code violation. The only time it would be a violation would be if the person wearing the bra strap had also removed their shirt.
This is the third time that I've had to tell you this. Today. It's ten am. Teach your goddamn class.
ETA: In Australia, 99% of schools have a uniform. Mine included. It's a rather nice blouse that completely covers the shoulder and two thirds or so of the upper arm.
@Ghost I wish my family understood this...
@Ganymede said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
To be fair, if my partner asked me to help with housework at 0300, I would probably strangle her.
What, you're not still up at three am anyway because your brain sucks?
Luuuucky you.
