Got it! New PB, 20:14. (http://imgur.com/FPIMsy6)

Wasn't expecting it, since the run felt so terrible. I was expecting something more like 25 minutes or so. Just 14 more seconds.

Is that your personal best for running a marathon?

Sounds right to me.

Just 14 seconds off the world record, I guess.

Nice job.

Probably a good way to cut those seconds off is to work out where you struggle most, and improve it.

I'm guessing it's around mile 20, before he gets his second wind.

I just saw over at BGG that Tables plays Netrunner and I nearly cheered in delight.

Dude... someone presented the oppertunity for me to do maths. I don't need to play a game to do that.

(I don't play netrunner. Well, not really. I've played with a few friends, but don't have any sets myself. I have a zany Jinteki deck idea I want to try out at some point though... even though I'm about 75% sure it won't work as intended)

You troll the forums of games you don't play very often just looking for chances to do math? :P

Anyone else participate in the (rather lame) ARG that FFG put together for the release of Android (not Netrunner)?

I watched a video (possibly by Rahdo) about Netrunner to see what the big deal was. It looked pretty bland and linear. Why is it such a big deal?

So I'm currently working my way through which I got when I visited my family a couple of weeks ago. They were 5p each in Waitrose, so we bought 2 boxes. When they were counted at the till it turned out we had 107 between us, but then my brother went back for an extra box and we ended up with 157 Creme Eggs. I only brought 1 of the boxes back to York with me, and I have my fiancee to help me, but the box still looks practically untouched and I am a bit sick of them now. I've had at least 1 a day for the past week.

I don't know. I'm really hooked by this game. I have watched some gameplay and I really like the bluffing mechanism in it. I really want to give this a shot, but I don't have anybody to play this with. I've installed OCTGN, but didn't have the time to play it yet. So if anyone would like to play this with me, please contact me.

For one of my lectures I have to hand in a Haskell programm that defines a value of the type (Either ([Int],Bool) Bool).
It's automatically checked for correctness. But when I try to hand in my solution
Code: [Select]
wert3 :: Either ([Int],Bool) Bool
wert3 = Left ([4,6..], True)
the site woks for a while and then gives me an error message that roughly translates to:
Quote
Time Out!
Either the system is overloaded or your solution leads to very comprehensive calculations.
All exercises are made in a way so they can be processed in short time.
You should rework your solution or resubmit it later.
Thanks for understanding.
They didn't tell me the value needed to be finite. EDGE CASED!

Well, when you put it that way... absolutely, yes.

As a kid I used to love the creme eggs, but now I find them horrendously rich (and yet my sweet tooth has not otherwise diminished, oddly). The last time I tried one it also seemed a bit ... hard-boiled? Like the inside was a lot stiffer than I remembered it being. Also, presumably to cash in on the non-Easter market, they've released "creme bars" that are like 5 mini creme eggs melted together in a single bar, which seems to reduce the "specialness" of having them only available at Easter.

I don't mind the creme eggs, but what I really hate are those malt speckled eggs. Gives me the shivers every time I bite into one of those.

This makes a lot more sense when you consider that a) They're labelled as a particular type of nuts, not e.g. assorted nuts and b) Peanuts aren't nuts

But the particular type of nut that they are labelled as is monkey nuts, which you'd hope everyone (or at least those with an allergy to peanuts) knows is another name for peanuts.

I've never heard of monkey nuts.  Britishism?
