Lep, if you only knew how envious and proud i am of you guys you wouldn't always see such horror's in my text.

I even brag about some of you here.

*sighs*

It seems that i am in the same boat with orph. I say stuff and it gets taken the COMpLETE wrong way. I think it's just one of the drawbacks of text-based communication. there're no REAL expressions and nuances. there's not any "tone of voice." This is why so many ppl think i am an arsehole on IRC. lol.

Anyway, The whole point of this post was to say that even though I did not understand a lot of what was mentioned i STILL liked the inconsequential essay, and to tell orph that "anyways" is not a word no matter HOW many times they've said it on TV. It's "anyway..." sans 's'. how did your spell check not catch that?

quite possibly orph will think i am being an arsehole even if i am not, It was just a freindly correction and not anything personal TBH.

I am heartened to see what people are communicating again, and that people still give each others the benefit of the doubt when it comes to reconciliation.

Perhaps it's because I am an optimist (yet a cynical one), but I believe people are good by default. There are occasional bad apples among us, but by far the vast majority of us are kind and generous.

We don't always act as intelligently as we actually are sometimes, but this very flaw makes the world more interesting.

By the way, those smilies above don't really make me think of a group hug. They look like an orgy to me. I just have to say it, as I've been suppressing the thought all morning.

? quoting Leperous

If anyone else here had been doing a project or similar recently, post it up- it'd be good to get some more philosophy going here!

just last week i had to hand in a 40page long work, it was about nuclear rocket propulsion (back on the front page due to NASA's recent Prometheus project). It's written in dutch so a link wouldnt be much use, but a work that gave me a lot of info can be found here: http://www.dunnspace.com/00339489.pdf

Your work is in a slightly more theoretic domain than mine (civil engineering, mechanics) so mainly the application on heat conduction and SN (over here they're called NS ) could interest me. Oh, and the use of the "we"-form and exclamation marks are a big no-no (p39) At least i havent come across them in other papers and they dont like them at our univ either.

I'm in my last year so im doing a thesis too, its about using Laser Doppler and Hot Wire Anemometry to measure velocity and pressure in front of catalysts in cars.

I'm hoping to get involved in working for iter in the future, at least i wanna be there when they reach the first burning plasma.

LOL, oh f**k I just noticed it myself too. I didn't really bother to read it after I wrote it. Quite funny though.

honestly, its right up my alley as far as humor goes. what makes it hilarious is its accidental origins.

"do me next."

that will go down in my journals of snarkpit hilarity.

I resisted with all my might not to make this comment after I saw that post.

"Does he want it from behind?"

But I figured it's crude, so I kept quiet (until now).

why are you apologizing? if they got upset, they got the same pants to get happy again in.

humor is a rarity around here.

making a funny out of a slip up in text is not an offensive issue IMO.

There once was a 'pitter named fishy
whose rhymes were a little bit iffy
he was being a tard

there was a member from missouri,
who mapped so fast in a fury,
he tried all he could,
for a castle that would,
play well in the rain and look purdy.

blah, /me was ne'er a poet.
