The man on the photo has undertaken the special precautions: he put a cigarette out and stuck it behind the ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she'll just give you all other passwords. Yeah, I dont know what this fuel does, but there's boron and fluorine compounds, so definitely nothing pretty And are you kidding?? She will slap the mulch out of me, and her slaps hurt! (She finds an excuse to slap me almost everyday, yesterday's was extra spicy...) And then she would start crying, I am not very good at dealing with crying women... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a mistake, she smacked me.Smacked me so hard, my glasses flew off my ears. And then she got emotional (?) and made me promise that I will never mess with any chemicals. Otherwise she will lock me up in the computer lab. I was then told the horrors of High Test Peroxide, and a bazillion ways I could die from it. [confusion] What? Is this real? 16 minutes ago, Selective Genius said: She will slap the mulch out of me, and her slaps hurt! (She finds an excuse to slap me almost everyday, yesterday's was extra spicy...)

This isn't acceptable. I dont really mind ...I mean her slaps are not malificient in nature, she is too good-natured for that. These are all in good fun.. It's been almost part of my daily routine.If she has not smacked me before lunch at least once then that means she is REALLY sad/angry for some reason, even if she seems to behave normally. I guess 'slap' is a strong word... The impact strength is between a 'pat' and a 'clap'... yesterday's was harsh though, and honestly I deserved it.

It then crashes ingame at very specific points on the map. Interesting. I actually still have the old, slower computer, but even it has Win7 installed at this point. Maybe I can still find the XP disc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 One of my mocking-babies has left the nest!!! It can't fly quite yet, but it's wandering around the bush exploring... kind of looks like a little fat sparrow I'll try and get a picture, but I don't want to disturb it, so no promises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Most Wanted from just one year prior worked on my old computer with 2.14GHz (wait... 231-1 Hz? It was a 32-bit XP computer...) and it runs on the same engine and with some of the same code. VM might do it. Virtualbox lets you set the number of processors for the VM, with an execution cap as a percentage. I have a 7700K, which is a hyperthreaded quad core. I have a testing VM set up already that only uses one of the logical cores. I could probably dumb that down to like... 20-30% and give it a try. It also keeps tossing in-game fatal errors and forcing itself to close. I'm not blaming the hardware incompatibility, the fact that I'm running Linux or even Wine... I remember quite distinctly having that issue back in the day running it on the Pentium 2/Windows 98 platform it was meant for. Simcopter was not a well made game. But I loved it, it was probably the first sandbox style game I ever played... plus you could use your own cities built in Sim City 2000! (also could be done in Streets Of Sim City... another great one from my childhood.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 My mocking babies are gone... the last one quite literally jumped to the ground this morning... and we saw Dad feeding one in the backyard a little while ago I looked it up, and apparently this is normal: Once the young mockingbirds have fledged, the male mockingbird oversees the further development of the young birds. Fledged birds practice their flight skills and learn to eat under the watchful eye of their father. During this period, people might see birds flapping and fluttering on the ground. Young birds are susceptible to predation, so learning to fly is essential. As the mockingbirds grow in strength and maturity, flying becomes easier. They grow up so fast... lol....

KerbolExplorer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 So i have been making my own discord with javascrip and node.js(Il post a video about it soontm) And today with testing i found out it can quickly turn into a spam Bot with a single mistake.How bad was it? Got 50+ messages in 30 seconds(hey atleast my bot runs well!) So no big deal i just restarded the bot (while having this BOOP sound of discord every second). I still dont know what caused the problem but it sure was funny seeing suddenly 20+Hello! messages XD (why is programing so hard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 @KerbolExplorer I once brought down a server and my client computer because I wrote: Quote if ($Variable = 1) { generate some html; } instead of Quote if ($Variable == 1) { generate some html; } Fun times.

Hope you're feeling better! On my end, they are filming some movie (?) at my neighbor's pool (which is pretty spectacular, frankly) this afternoon and night until 4:30am . It's called "Silk Road," about dark web drug dealers or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
