I wrote a little program which is supposed to make associations based on a linguistic database of English. It seems to work reasonably well. But surprisingly, some of the top associations for a wide variety of words include 'angstrom', 'Oregon', and 'rich person'.

Now this may be an artifact of the program. But I'm not discounting the possibility that this is the answer. Angstroms, Oregon, and rich people -- the common thread that ties together the entirety of the human experience.

Watched the new LoK episodes.  And I also went and watched the leaked episode 4-6 (in Spanish only, but with subtitles).  I think this is the best season yet, and the story is as compelling as anything in ATLA.  The Big Bad is very interesting despite how little has been revealed of him, and the overall concept for the group of villains is something I've wanted for a long time.  Awesome, awesome stuff.

Glad to hear. I finished AtLA Book 2 yesterday. So I still have four books to go before I get to the new episodes.

At first I didn't understand what you guys were talking about. But yeah, I watched the commercial for the next season and it looks really good. Personally, I was a little dissapointed with Season 2 of LoK. I feel like they may have taken things a little far. Still good though.
And it's nice to hear from the creator himself that this next season will be more like the Original.

Better stop here, otherwise it won't be random I guess.

My dad and I were discussing things today, about the Olympics, and he suggested I should check the page for the athletes Tuvalu sent. So I have to wonder, Ozle, are you secretly my dad? Am I secretly half Tuvaluan?

No, Tables... I am your father!

Are you a tree?

Well, Tables is short for "I eat Tables", which would make me... a beaver?

Not any more. There only websites I still use I Eat Tables on are ones that don't allow me to change my username on and I've been on for too long to make a new account.

...But that is false:

So long story short, on a holiday to Germany while 11, my and my siblings thought it was hilarious to say nonsensical german phrases to the natives. A particular favourite was "Ich esse Tisch," german for "I eat tables". A few months later, I was creating an account for a new website (Runescape IIRC) and didn't want to use my old username (because it was even more terrible), so decided I Eat Tables was amusing enough to start using. Fast forward to when I was about 18, and I shortened it to just Tables because it's generally nicer, it was what people who knew me from online were calling me anyway, and it was a bit less of an embarrassing 11 year olds screenname.

so decided I Eat Tables was amusing enough to start using. Fast forward to when I was about 18, and I shortened it to just Tables because it's generally nicer,

I shortened it to just Tables

QED.

EDIT: not exactly sure why I am defending that I am a beaver. Beavers are cool?

[Tables]

I think you're misinterpreting the word 'shortened' there. It doesn't mean 'this is the shorter version of the full name', it means 'this is the name I've changed to'. Besides, that post was well over a year ago.

yeah, beavers are cool so you are good

My respect/post ratio is now 1!

[qmech]

Currently seeing 2652/2653 with your post at +2, so somebody has it in for you.

Unless you were talking about dipping below 1.

[AndrewisFTTW]

Can someone create the 1:1 post to respect ratio thread already?

[KingZog3]

Can someone create the 1:1 post to respect ratio thread already?

You should, because then you'll be 1:1 ratio on posts to respect.

[Awaclus]

Can someone create the 1:1 post to respect ratio thread already?

I think we also need a 1:1 post to respect ratio [Serious] thread.

quit posting.  I just +1ed your earlier post to keep you at that ratio.  Now I need to +1 this post.  just create an Awaclus [not 1:1 post to respect ratio] alt account for other posts.

I wouldn't mind being at 1:1. It would only take 333 users to get me there, and that's only like twelve and a half percent of the forum users. Easy.

...no, if 333 posts of yours got upvoted, you would get to 1:1.  If you managed to convince one user to upvote all of your posts you would get more than 1:1.

[Dsell]

Well I meant 333 users upvoting that post, but I guess I wasn't clear. Anyway, now it's 334, which is really not nearly as nice of a number.

I remember having "trouble" staying over 0.5 when I had that many posts.

[Tables]

The more users there are, the easier it is to have a high R:P ratio.

Let's talk about something more interesting, AKA anything else. Oh, how about this?

[silverspawn]

can someone explain me why the lose track rule is called lose track rule? if you throne a madman, the throne doesn't lose track of the madman, it plays him twice, it's just that the second time he gets played nothing happens, because he isn't being returned to the madman pile. what's that to do with losing track of it?

[liopoil]

That isn't an example of the lose track rule, if I remember how it works correctly. However, I'm not sure I understand it correctly either, so I can't explain it to you. I think I've just memorized what interactions work and which don't...

[silverspawn]

what about when you procession and island, you set aside 2 cards and gain a card costing 5$ but the island isn't trashed, is that an example of the lose track rule? if so, it I still don't get it, because it just means that exiled cards can't be trashed.

[liopoil]

Ahh, yes, I think that is. The procession plays the island twice, because it doesn't need to know where it is to do that. However, when it goes to trash the island, it can't find it. Even though it couldn't trash the island, it still executes the rest of the card, and so gains a card costing 5. The procession can't find the island because it lost track of it when it was set aside.

well than that's just a fancy way to say "exiled cards stay exiled." If that's really what the lose track rule means, then why are so many people making fuss over how complicated it is?
