Aha, so it was YOU! But seriously, I have indeed had problems in the past with Micarooni starting to wobble, or even suddenly accelerate out of orbit. Always fixed with F9, of course (it's an unwritten General Order that all ships quicksave before entering its physics boundary) and much more stable since 1.0.4. 2 hours ago, Mad Rocket Scientist said: These last couple of page might be the best ones yet.

I really have no idea how (or if!) my Bill is going to solve this problem over in the Kappaverse. Then again, I usually don't know how they're going to get out of the disasters I create for them even when it's me doing the writing!

This is actually quite realistic. Psychopaths are usually highly intelligent, better at rolling with punches, and better playing mainstream society's game, than "sane" people, but are stereotyped as "insane" because their abillities are usually shackled to some seriously deviant urges that no society can tolerate. That is, of course, unless the psychopath is a member of the ruling elite, which is often the case given their other abilities, And then they attract admiring (but braindead) members of the media who downplay their vices and extoll their virtues.

I think you might like this part, the last time he showed up in one of Sheldon's dreams he said, and I quote, "Oh no, not again...." and then tried to commit suicide with a lightsaber.

I don't imagine a lot of actual medical examiners watch NCIS, either. That's fascinating. My wife has worked with children who are on the autism spectrum. I've been telling her for several years that I think I'm probably slightly autistic myself. Have you been diagnosed professionally, or is that a self-diagnosis? As far as Big Bang Theory goes, the writers don't even try to write an actual Asperger's person. They just use it as a foil to have the character deliver cruel lines, with the Asperger's making it OK. Happy Concerned Alarmed landings!

As to the other question the complete answer is best expressed in a PM. On the thread, I'll just say that I think at this point I've 'grown out of it', and do not currently tend to exhibit behaviors one would associate with autism spectrum.

I don't imagine a lot of actual medical examiners watch NCIS, either. Yeah, I don't watch any fictional/dramatized fire/EMS/cop show myself. They're all so incredibly bogus. I do, however, what things like "Nightwatch", "Cops", and "The First 48" where it's all real stuff. I even know some of the folks who've been on those shows. 48 minutes ago, Kuzzter said: You're just a barrel of laughs as always. Are you available for childrens' parties? Yes, actually. I am often requested for such occasions and I enjoy going. First, I get to show off my firetruck and let the kids blast the air horns and siren, which annoys the neighbors and makes some of the kids cry, although most think this is very cool. Then I get all dressed up in my fireman suit while explaining that if they see me coming into their room at night, I'm there to rescue them so they shouldn't hide from me. All this is fine until, as the last step, I put on my SCBA mask and start breathing canned air like I would if their house was on fire. All the kids that were crowding around my ankles up to now all excited suddenly freak out, start crying, and run away screaming. This was bad enough when we had yellow suits---I could tell the kids to think of me as a Powerranger. But we recentlyt got black suits so now, not only do I sound like Darth Vader, I look like him, too. It's hilarious. Mask off, they love me. Mask on, sheer panic. It's like a switch. I don and doff my mask several times while talking to them, trying to make them understand it's always me, but it doesn't work. The crowd surges back and forth, alternating between shrieks and giggles. Years ago, I found this depressing, but I've gotten now to where I find it amusing. Then I aim the truck's water cannon up in the air and the kids run around in the water as it rains back down, Thousands of gallons all falling in 1 place and the stamping of many small feet soon churns the grass into a large mud puddle. The kids love this and go sliding and swimming in the mud, coming out wetter and dirtier than they've ever been in their lives. Which means they trash the interiors of their parent's cars on the way home. I love my job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikki Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 ... Asperger syndrome and autism are worldwide common syndromes of the male gender, if we know about it we can start "cure" ourselves. "Another male syndrome". We just think too much about lots of things, clearly we are slightly crazy sometimes. Sufficiant we know about it... I consider myself temporary as somehow autistic, sure, nobody can realize that, and clearly, we are all trapped in our personal contiousness. Life is not like a theatre, life is a theatre, people get realy crazy if they cannot handle this. Matter of perspective and insight... As i posted in parkaboys "mirrorstory"...EPIC STORY The show must go on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 On the subject of pseudo-scientific shows, I can't really watch them after one case: It was one of those forensic investigation shows (basically a clone of CSI) and the phrase that made me realize how it really is was: "I know that it can't be considered proof, but in the victim's blood we found metabolites of chloroform - carbon dioxide and hydrochloric acid."If somebody doesn't really get it, there's plenty of CO2 solved in blood (mostly in form of hydrogencarbonate ion) and there's about 0,5% (per mass) chloride ions (which is the form hydrochloric acid will turn into in such conditions). Normally. That's why metabolites of chloroform can't make any distinguishable change and that's why it's completely undetectable after enough time has passed for it to metabolize. Well, I'll rather watch sci-fi that openly admits having some laws of physics different, than something that pretends to be scientifically accurate, but is filled with such mistakes. Speaking of which... with the spacetime distortion device shot down is the threat of further spreading anomalies finally neutralized (at least for now) or does it require getting Jeb and Bill back ASAP to avoid serious damage to Kerbfleet save as well? Also, tin foil is outdated. I prefer my hat made of spacecraft multi-layer insulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
