The Elmdor-Appreciation-Out - Number of practitioners: one.

[Grouch]

Well I was going to post Happy 157th Birthday Canada yesterday but server busy blah blah blah.

took me hours just to be able to get in today. I thought it was fixed but I guess I was wrong.

[Till]

I'm making aliens take selfies and when programmable matter catoms are commercially available bringing Shitman to life.

If you're new here you might read what I post and think I'm crazy until you find out it's true, both what I'm saying and that I'm crazy. Insanity is not an impediment to scientific advancement.

The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.

Mad boffinry has its perks, sanity only gets in my way as a severe limitation.

I remember years ago you said the planet was overpopulated since 1984(or there abouts) you are so right then and now.

Yes, I read the entire World Book Encyclopedia, the Atlas and dictionary that came with it by age 11 and I have a photographic memory. I'm a walking reference book, idiot savantism.

Edit:// I used to climb trees when I was five years old, one day I climbed to the top of the tallest tree in the neighborhood but the branches were too thin and the one I was clinging to snapped. On the way down I tried grabbing on to branches that also snapped and hit other branches which somewhat broke my fall or I would have been dead years ago. But, I landed on my left side and hit the left side of my head losing consciousness coming to about an hour later. After that I developed a photographic memory, most likely brain damage and I'm an idiot for the most part but I ace IQ tests because I'm a tetragametic chimera with two sets of DNA full-body conjoined with an identical twin. When one doesn't know an answer the other one speaks the answer in my head and I'm fully qualified to hear voices and talk to myself.

recently I started watching a couple new mods for FO NV ones a world space mod that shows great potential hopefully something good comes out of this one soon. the other mod is a quest/new lands mod it looks good but from the review I read the mod author didn't make a good effort, it doesn't properly portray the land it's supposed to represent the also no interiors or much in the way of npcs/creatures and the distance between locations is massive(which isn't really a bad thing to me) and from what it seems the mod author is just looking for someone to finish the work on the mod for him instead of doing it himself. while I was watching this mod there was some criticism that ended up in a back and forth with a couple members that all got nuked most(if not all the criticism) was warranted according to the review that got posted.

The reason I don't release mods is that I have many other things to do with my time with art, coding, gaming and in my laboratory with home repairs and other household duties. I don't half-ass anything I'm working on whatever it may be and I'm not going to clean up after somebody's half-assed mess. Like Windows, it needs third-party support to not fall apart and the work of open source developers for free. Only place I volunteer my time is at EP.

I'm not creating a real-life programmable matter Shitman, but I'm going to bring back Al Capone as an ethical advisor for criminals persuading them to turn away from life of crime to be able to redeem himself. He was the greatest crime fighter of all time, he hid more to fight crime one Valentine's Day than all the cops of his era did in their entire lifetime. He's got the gangsta cred to be a force for good that gangsters take good advice from allowing them to redeem themselves too.

would there be any danger substituting metal washers for plastic washers on the back plate of cpu heatsink?

Yes there are risks, conductivity and metal washers are not as pliable which could stretch out your case. There's also corrosion depending on humidity.

Depending on the size you need, maybe you can slice up a plumbing feed tube for sinks, or something like that? Walk around in Home Depot and see what plastic tubing you could cut up.

I took a nap I just woke up from, the last thing I dreamt about was you telling me if your computer smells like burnt chicken shit it might cause a fire.

well I did get a response from the seller and he gave me a couple options 1 of them was to see if he could get a replacement from the factory and the other 2 were refunds. I'll go with option 1 first but I don't expect that to happen so I'll probably just get a refund. I'm going to check out in the garage for one but I highly doubt I'll find a plastic one so I'll be stuck waiting till next week at the earliest to try to get a new one.

that's not a good sign.

That's what I thought. With what I'm doing with a computer it's difficult to know when I'm asleep or awake.

I've been on YouTube for a while and it seems the feed is all about The Apocalypse, must be trending. Like I've mentioned, the only thing worse than an apocalypse is surviving one only to die in the end anyway. Everyone experiences their own personal apocalypse in the end, however the one impossibility in life is death due to quantum immortality.

"I'm almost certain I die every night and wake up in the parallel of where my carcass was last to be mourned." ~ Albert Einstein

For all we know CERN is destroying our entire universe repeatedly and everyone is dying simultaneously sending us all into a parallel universe where we continue to exist in a slightly different timeline, would explain the Mandela effect. Also, I'm not keen on digital immortality because immortality is an inevitable natural process and in a digital reality your reality can be whatever the programmers make it including a simulated hell as punishment and there is no escape or mercy of death. It's better to go on to an infinite number of better universes than this one and die in it. This timeline is one crisis and war after another.

The CATS sig I made is yet another example of going through hella trouble just for a meme.
