    Hmm... Tomorrow is the day we take school photographs, and I'll only be in the only necessary one, that is: class photo. Should I don this odd combination of clothing or go with the usual white dress shirt, tie, and a hoodie? We have no dress codes, so it's kinda whatever what everyone wears.
  2. So I came back from school about an hour ago, and apparently a hoodie on a hot summer day (zipper open) was enough to hide the fact that I was wearing a shinobi shozoku the entire day... Either that, or no-one noticed anything. Either way, guess I am pretty unnoticeable, which is nice I guess.

      No-one even minded that I had a black uwagi visible under my hoodie, and no-one bothers to look at the shoes (which in my case are jika-tabi whenever it's not winter).

      If you don't know what some of those terms mean, Wikipedia helps with that.

    I can say... Mission successful.
  4. My experiences with PayPal haven't been that bad, but the again, I have only been a buyer, not a seller. This kind of delay wouldn't be a big deal to me, but you might need the transactions to be done sooner. Still though, that sounds like everything has gone wrong, and it must suck. I'll still continue using it, as it's not like there's much choice: can't have credit cards (lack of stable income), and most international online stores don't accept bank transfers, so PayPal is the only option for me...
  5. I know that, and I was also poking fun at him for only liking / talking about the fanmade music and artwork, not even bothering to take at look at the official works, or other entertainment media, such as fanmade games.
  6. On weekdays: about as long as I am home, that is around 7 hours, when taking out sleep and time spent in school. On weekends and holidays: as long as I am awake, that is around 15 - 21 hours? I usually wake-up at around 12 PM or later, and go to sleep (and put computer to sleep mode too, not shutting down unless absolutely necessary) at 1 - 4 AM. Though if I leave home for longer than for example half an hour, I'll put it to sleep mode. Less than that, and I'll most likely just keep it running.
  7. It's not an "obsession", it's merely having an interest in certain things... @MyInnerFred any thoughts on the recently released Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom? Or are you not into danmaku at all? (You better have played at least one official game...) Opened it, to see this is how the game is: Ah, is it the NES / SNES days all over again? Flashy packaging, but games are something completely different. :lol:
  8. Next to a window, but faced against a wall. Window would result in the setup getting in the way every time I have to clean the window up every few months. I have curtains in front of the window 24/7 though, because I prefer dimmer lighting, plus the neighborhood isn't exactly what I would consider trustworthy. Too bad the curtains barely dim enough during summers: during summer nights it can be as bright as during the day in my room, even with the curtain blocking light coming form the outside. I need much darker and/or thicker curtains...
  9. Hmm... All of my undershirts are in wash, and all I have are 2 hoodies, and a black uwagi... I guess I'll don a hoodie over the uwagi and hope no-one notices me wearing a shinobi shozoku with jika-tabi and all... lol

  10. I am equally confused. Just woke up and read all the notifications, suddenly, "breadsticks"... I am incapable of understanding the analogy here.
  11. Fixed that for you. 52F = ~11°C You call this cold? Whatever floats your boat... For me, this is a good autumn / spring temperature. Not too hot, not too cold, just right.
  12. But what if you are a little different wolf, and not that kind of wolf?
  13. She doesn't need to be made out of bacon in order to be edible... ...though you'd be considered a cannibal if you ate her. same , except not yay , it's boo Who needs friends? Oh you clever little bugger... Sam's trollface is back. Shows how much of an attention span internet has.

    I'm craving some pizza...

    God damnit. Now I want pizza too, and my wallet hurts... Plus the local pizza place is closed until next week. Shame...
  15. 5/10. Meh. I'm not much of an animal person, but still prefer cats over dogs.
  16. I didn't know Californium was used in older smoke alarms. I know for the fact that Americium-241 is used, and it should be safe (until you dispose it), but not quite sure about Californium... A lot of places nowadays are phasing out ionizing smoke detectors in favor of photoelectric smoke detectors. Would suggest to do the same, though the disposal of ionizing smoke detectors can be a problem.

    Interesting, just got a random text from someon…

    Phone plans here are cheap. With the price I (well... my godparent) pays, it's 10€ /month for ~1000 minutes of calls and ~1000 texts (?), I think... I don't know for sure, but I never pass those limits. This also includes 2 Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s up internet with no caps.

    Interesting, just got a random text from someon…

    My phone bill is around 10€ per month... And all of that comes from the internet usage alone. I never call nor text, except a week ago because of some tech-support-over-text-messages-to-my-tech-illiterate-little-sister situation... I sent more texts that day, than this entire year and last year combined.

    Heh... Sure, text them "Alright. Let me just fly over the Atlantic Ocean real quick..." and maybe later just tell them that they got a wrong number.

    How does one accidentally call / send a text from US to UK? I never get any calls from strangers, even from telemarketers. And when the telemarketers do call me, they are actually trying to call my godparent (my phone number is on his name), and they leave me alone as soon as I tell them I am not him. Even telemarketers don't care about me...
  21. Indeed. People often tend to miss the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation can be harmful if it's strong enough, but the amount that a phone emits, is pitiful, and is not a health hazard in the slightest. I don't see this being useful at all for it's "intended purpose", but I do see it being useful in areas with higher than safe background radiation levels, ionizing or not.
  22. I don't know for sure... Our subject in-question was a suspect of this behavior, getting seemingly joking insults at them over and over again. The subject however, did not take them as a joke. They told me about it when just two of us were in the same chat room. Before that, I was just playing along to everyone else, but after that point, I stopped it. Later, I also tried to prevent it from happening, since I have been a suspect to this behavior in real life, and I know how it feels like. It appeared that it worked for a day or two, until it began again. At that point, the subject seemingly started to accept it, but I am not certain if this is true or not. I am also not sure if the subject allows me to talk about this, but I'm just letting you guys know: a joke to someone (or some people) might not be such for someone else (or some other people). And this is the point where the line between "friends jokingly insulting each other" and "bullying" is blurred. You won't see too many in an hour or two, but the notifications quickly add-up over time. Most of it is off-topic discussing / spam, but recently I have been surprised by the amount of on-topic discussion, as mentioned in this quote:
  23. You have it even worse than I do. Only twice (or twice) has my notification count went past 1000 in a day, and this was back in the spammier days of Heaven Society. Do you read them all, though? I do at least, and when speaking of this particular thread, ever since I got here a little past page 300, I haven't skipped a single post. I would still expect them to have some kind of security, not just let the suspect go there freely and take it, whether or not the suspect is a veteran or a civilian.
  24. Need a hitman... Err... Someome to smack some sense into them in as brutal ways as possible... no... Someone to silence them... erm... Someone to take care of them for you? @KRImSIN don't hesitate to contact me if there's something that needs to get done, and I'll see what I can do. I've seen a lot of strays in my life... but I have never encountered a stray tank... I want to see one... and adopt it... thats because your are in the wrong country. you need to go to where they are allowed to roam free. aka russia. Russian dashboard cam videos... Seems like about 95% of all the crazy ones come from Russia. The question remains: where the hell did the suspect get a hold of a tank, let alone drive it? Welcome to my daily routine.
