Ho-lee piss does spironolactone make you have to pee. All the time.

I was on furosemide for 10 days. I lost 38 pounds of water weight. I was in the bathroom almost every hour.

@tek said in What do you eat?:

@Tyche Cricket flour is delicious

Well I'd eat bugs if I had to.
In a real pinch, I'd even eat a feminist (if she was seasoned properly).

She looks oddly familiar.

@Tyche
Edit: I do enjoy how this has brought people together. Because like 0 people actually think it was suicide.

Yeah but we'll probably disagree on whodunnit.

Hillary has responded...

@Ghost That's hilarious. I can't wait to use that in a conversation.

@Ghost said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Apparently this is supposed to make an M and a P to mean White Power, but now that this is out I can't tell if the girl above deserves hero points for being a Circle Game All-Star or is a shitbag?

Her name is Zina Bash and she was a clerk for Kavanaugh. Her father is Jewish and her mother is Mexican. It was rather unlikely that she was playing the circle game or flashing some sort of white power sign. AFAIK it was just some random resting of her hand on her arm.

@eye8urcake said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

@Tyche I have two other grandkids and one more on the way. I am a Platinum Old Fart, lol, and in good company.

I only have two, so I guess I'm just a gold old fart.
Hopefully I can get the boy married off, so I can get platinum status.

@GreenFlashlight said in The Work Thread:

Yeah, I won't take shots at anyone trying to help, but I'm really suspicious of how basically every story I hear about the Australian fires frames it in terms of animals dead and contains no mention at all of the effects on the indigenous population. It makes me think there's a horror going on there we're not being told about.

The only article I could find says they are pro fire.
Australia fires: Aboriginal planners say the bush 'needs to burn'

Perhaps educate yourself before going on yet another one of your ill-informed owning the libs rants.

I've noticed that a few people just ignore the emoticons in a post.
I'm tickled by it.

You want fun? Enter CST into the time zone field. It appears some twats somewhere think CST is GMT-6 instead of the proper GMT+8.

Try entering 北京时间 instead.
Unfortunately time zone names are not standardized. They create and remove ones almost every year. And trying to maintain time modules between multiple operating systems is a major pain in the ass.

@ThatGuyThere said:

You do realize that in the shows they violate this prime directive all the freaking time? Including many times when in dialogue they even admit they are doing it?

I learned from the original Star Trek that the prime directive could always be suspended if there were chicks involved.

@Cirno said:

@deadculture

Why... would they do that?

Since when have white people needed a reason to do anything, pal?

Nice segue. /sarc

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@Chime said in What Do You Collect?:

Really I collect a lot of other sorts of old code, and I'm fond of emulation software as a means of describing obsolete hardware. Primarily for me that means computer emulators, and ideally of antique mainframe and minicomputer type things. I had a blast (hey @Thenomain there's another one) setting up SIMH for PDP-10 and going through the old MIT-ITS tape archives from their evacuation off the 36bit platform. Cultural relevance here: PDP-10 and its quirky assembly language (with MIDAS assembler) was the original home of MUDDLE and Colossal Cave adventure and so on. Infocom wrote all their text adventures on a company PDP-10 with MUDDLE and related technologies; the Z-Machine VM target they made was to ease porting off that to home systems...

I didn't think about it as collecting, but have a ton of similar stuff from IBM mainframes that I can run on the Hercules 370/390 emulator. I have several ancient operating systems that it can run TOS, DOS/VSE, VM/370, MVT, OS/360, MVS SP. I ran OS/390 on it when I was an IBM partner for free, but at the $14K license fee today it's a might out of reach.

The most useful OS is MVS SP 3.8 which has the entire source code available and a bunch of now public domain compilers... ALGOL 68, COBOL, Watcom Fortran IV, RPG, XPL, PL/1, Stonybrook Pascal, Stanford BASIC. Now that I think of it, I probably collect compilers for everything. I also have got a library of CBT tapes (which was how mainframe systems programmers shared software) which have been transferred to disk. There are a handful of games on them, but one of them contains a version of Colossal Caverns that was written in Fortran for TSO/WYLBUR.

Someone had also developed a TCP stack for MVS SP 3.8 and one of these days I'm determined to write a mainframe mud in PL/1 or ALGOL for it.

@Misadventure
If I only had an AN/FSQ-7 emulator... nothing had more dials, lights and switches.
Plus it could run a time tunnel.

Vaginas are one of my top three favorite places to be, just after being on a bass boat and being on a golf course.

@HorrorHound said in RL things I love:

@Tyche. You. I like you. Except for golf.

I just remembered roller coasters. I'm going to have to bump vaginas down again.

We've been playing Hunter the Vigil for about 7 months and really enjoying it.
Last week we roasted a coven of witches. Basement gas leak. Very unfortunate.
We're traveling out to Hollywood tomorrow to investigate rumors of a troop of Toreador that have been producing really bad movies.
