Oh yeah, the *real* Chinese restaurants (as in, actual native Chinese people choose to eat there) have those in spades. As bad as old NES game manuals. Of course, at those places it's a courtesy that they bothered to put laowai speak on their menus at all.

@irmoz Not really, they're also temperament *and* biological conditions -- like, in many cases, detrimental susceptibility to things like cancer, cataracts, or bone disease. See: Golden retriever

There's always the real (and not really unwarranted) fear that they won't give a fuck

And further on, that after the third time of bringing it up, they will stop giving a fuck or just avoid you.

The only breeds people mention are ones that are notoriously annoying. Persian, Siamese, Sphinx.

Everything else is based on appearance... tabby, calico, mackerel, "maine coon" (which is often used to describe cats that *aren't* maine coon)

You obviously need to use Meyer Rock as a staging area.

Now, you're probably tempted to attack from the south. But the harbor there is flanked by pillars which will be easy to defend from. What you want to do is go for the jetty on the east side. It will be easy to take since you can attack from three directions. That will give you a beachhead. Then, I would surround the northeastern ridge, which will open up the northern cape for taking. By then, you can launch your second assault in south.

if we come to find out that the reason for the success of the first internal combustion vehicle was to roll coal on steam powered vehicles for the lulz I'm going to be so pissed

BTW, according to a Russian LJ page, the bottom photo was taken in the basement server room of the Priory of the Holy Spirit, Blackfriars College, Oxford University, UK.

The top picture is from Poland and the priest is a cardinal (not the Pope).

It is apparently extremely common for priests in Poland to bless nearly anything, and there is even a Tumblr blog devoted to it (where that picture came from in fact).

@swag_money @Gork

What on earth are you talking about? What warped screens in the background? What funky edges?

As for "cables terminate randomly on the desk" my brother in christ have you ever actually seen a server room? They're not "terminating randomly" they're running behind the rackmount terminal screen.

Perhaps, but for older nerds like me, that outcast experience is an essential part of nerd identity.

Younger nerds and geeks, who are now embraced, never went through that shit, and have in my mind a fucked up perspective on what it means to be one.
