Oh, that's a deep cut.

For those not in the know, HP meters in Diamond and Pearl (I think also in Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, and maybe Black and White 1 and 2) were animated based off the actual HP number instead of the proportion visually. So it wasn't "remove 29 HP which is 1/5 of the HP at 3 pixels per frame" it was "remove exactly 29 HP at 1 HP per frame" even if 1 HP was smaller than a pixel.

It meant that HP bars for creatures with more HP literally took longer to animate, even if it was a one hit KO where it didn't have to calculate the remaining health or amount of pixels left to show or anything.

There's been a decent amount of discussion online that when you are already in a relationship, you've been "vetted" so to speak. Obviously bullshit, as what your current partner may find acceptable can have jack to do with what anyone else finds acceptable. Also, if you have a break up, somehow you're no longer vetted because clearly you have some problems if you had a break up.

It's all pretty/petty bullshit but it's definitely a thing. Even my clueless ass has noticed it. Women are more comfortable around me now that I'm obviously taken (wedding ring). Not that they weren't before, but diving into deep/private conversation stuff at a far faster rate. Like I pride myself on being trustworthy and a good listener, but you gotta chill.

That increased comfort also includes more comfortable to make passes at me. No thanks, wife and I aren't looking for a third.

No, but the parrot isn't hallucinating either.

Only thing I could suggest is to make sure your DKIM and SPF stuff is set up right, but that only effects other email servers accepting mail from yours.

Please do not use your "foot" for pegging play.

You just had to remind me of an ancient internet "shock" video where an amputee uses their ankle stump to "stump" the asshole of someone in a sex swing.

As prize, you get the knowledge that video exists.

Still can't believe corporate meddling robbed us of the cinematic masterpiece it was meant to be. Apparently authentic Sweedish music was too exotic for American audiences.

Release the Joel cut you cowards!

Yes, the price is the point. Excel (Office) is that dirt fucking cheap, industry standard, and comes with a bunch of other shit included that can be legitimate value add for a small business.

If you're at a firm that has legitimate need for specialized accounting software, you'll have enough money to get those. But even those generally export to Excel format. Without outing myself too much, I've had comsiderable exposure to financial tech over the last decade and less than 10 specialized accounting softwares I've seen couldn't export to Excel. All of those still exported to csv, or "software agnostic excel" if we want to bend things a bit.

The power of being industry standard for going on 30 years now cannot be overstated.

If this isn't memed to hell and back by the end of tomorrow I'll be sorely disappointed.

Colleges too. Ever wanted to hide behind the projector screen of a 300 seat lecture hall? None of the doors are locked. Found an old rotary telephone and a real film reel projector back there.

Had some wonderful desk chair races around the professor offices floor in one building at nearly midnight.

The tough part is when you no longer have that access after you're used to it when you get a new job.

No! Don't call security! I swear I worked here a decade ago, I'm just absentminded.
