If you love music like I do, and prefer it to be high quality, please try out MOG.com

It has a free service, a $4.99/mo service for unlimited computer playing, and a $9.99/mo for unlimited computer/car/cell phone AND unlimited downloads of their high quality files. For a long time, I thought MOG was just pointless filler on my phone, pre-packaged by Verizon to just take up space, until I read a review and listened to it for myself. All of the music is streamed at 320KBps (highest quality possible for MP3s) and sound amazing through my system at home... you should, honestly, give it a try and see how you like it.

So i got some new vinyl (lp... records...) in today: Pachabel's Canon in D Major, The Stroke's 'Is This It', and Modest Mouse's 'Good News for People who like Bad News'. I opened it all up and went to put them on my analog system in my bedroom, starting with Pachabel first, and it just sounded so so amazing... I laid back and listened to the violins as they danced around my room, almost literally. It is so amazing the feeling music can bring out in you, especially when it is played through a good quality system.

After about 10 minutes of it, I had to wrestle myself out of my solace to get ready for some food preparation, but I plan on going back to my bed later and enjoying that record again... god I forgot how good vinyl really sounds.

Submission removal: Guns (rifles + a shotgun)
Sent By: ssj3mewtwo to grimwulff On: April 4th, 2012 02:31

As much as I'm a gun fan myself, this submission is sadly not AUP compliant.

Stock/unmodified/uncustomized hardware is not in line with the AUP, which bars manufactured or collected items from being showcased.

It's fine to submit photos of customized pieces, because those imply a level of creative and thoughtful effort on the part of the person that owns them. But in that regard the description must detail what the changes are, and link back to the stock item.

Pictures of various assembled firearms do not meet these criteria. They would be acceptable if uploaded to something like Photobucket or Imageshack, and then linked in a journal.

[quote]Manufactured/Collected Items - Photographs of mass manufactured/commercially available items (which you have not personally developed or created) are not permitted. Items of such nature should be uploaded to the appropriate service (such as Photobucket). This policy includes items such as DVDs, games, toys, guns/weapons, cars, computers, plush/inflatable animals or objects, posters, etc.

Exceptions are made for items which are staged in an artistic, dynamic setting. Such images MUST showcase the photographer's artistic skill, not merely showcase collected items. You may post photographs of commissioned items, or custom paint jobs (model kits, figurines, etc) so long as the title and/or description credits the artist/creator. You may also post pictures of items that are modified and customized to the point of being unique, provided significant work is done to separate them from the original design. In addition, users must link back to a photo of the original design to highlight changes.[quote]

=============================================================

My response:

I think invoking this overly broad, far-reaching rule is very much a slippery slope. Those pictures had been on this website for quite some time, and whether or not you noticed, there was even comments to the modifications on some of the weapons that were in the picture (more specifically, the M38 Mosin Nagant, Japanese Arisaka, and the 1893 Spanish Mauser), so a heads up would have been more appropriate than an out-right removal without deleting them, as this was the only digital copy of said pictures in existence (there was no back-up). As well, under above said rule, there are several images on your own page which do not exhibit the quality emphasized above (please see section in bold). Is this setting up a double-standard for those within the loop or will you be removing your own images as well? This rule is not only loosely defined, but it does not even meet some basic standards of courtesy towards the users of this website, as it requires too much subjectivity in deciding what IS and what IS NOT artistic. What is artistic in one person's eyes is shit in another person's, there by giving independent moderators like yourself too much slack when deciding upon potential violations of said rule (hence why I would like to point out that you have pictures of your OWN which do not meet the qualifications you have laid before me and said I was in violation of). Obviously this section of the AUP needs to be reviewed for clarity, streamlining, and a more objective way of determining what is and what is not appropriate for posting... or to be removed all together... or to have it written in that moderators should first NOTIFY people of any infractions on small technicalities like not STATING there was artistic alterations to a piece displayed (oh, and does adding a sticker to a motorcycle seriously count as artistic alterations...? if so, then I will add some sunshine stickers to my buttstocks and we'll call it good). You might want to take into consideration if the person is a chronic abuser of said rule and continuously posts random pictures which are not pertinent to the website in any shape or manner... or since furry is just a subculture, then all things involved in the culture can and will be pertinent to some section of the subculture, there by making everything a valid medium for expression. Whether or not you like guns is not the question... what is in question, is what is obviously a horribly written, broad, and easily abused section of the AUP which has just been used, without notification or a heads-up, to remove images that violate a subjective clause of “artistic merit”, which even the moderator's own images violate.

Now... I do not know you, nor am I trying to claim you are a bad moderator, I am just trying to point out that this section of the AUP is not only to loosely worded to be viable for a website of this size and scope, but, in turn, can be abused in the future by members of the moderator staff that might dislike something on face value. Artistic merit is subjective and should NOT be used under ANY circumstances to determine whether or not something should be removed without at least showing some respect to the person who posted the images. I hope you have a good day, and that this message finds you in good health.

As violation of the AUP. That means, under this interpretation that ALL photography of people or items or animals are NOT allowed under the AUP.

Discuss.

And I came to the realization that no matter how I look at it, no one seems to care.




This is a metaphor for our government. Do you get it?

And i think i am done with this fandom. I have been considering it for a while now and I think I am finally ready to call it quits.

o.0 This is 100% dependent on who you are.

Yes, I like ghost tv shows... I find it interesting and somewhat validating (especially considering stuff I had seen during my visit to Tennessee as a child and what I experienced/saw there).

Now... one thing I am not, is religious... I am a very proud atheist and anti-theist and I believe religion has no place in side of society and I feel that the merits for religion (or a set of indoctrinating morals glued together with a fairy tale and preached by an organization) are far outweighed by the potential for harm caused by it.

But I digress... while waiting for a call from work today, I decided to prance around the archives of Hulu and check out some ghost shows to pass the time when I stumbled across this one show called 'Paranormal TV'... intrigued by the claims that the devil lives amongst us, I decided to venture forth and check to see if there was some sort of... how should I say... real world investigation into this (a la Paranormal State and/or Ghost Adventures). However, within the first minute of this show, I became irate at the bullshit trying to be peddled here... where the introduction mentions the "guises" of the devil, it shows a few mass murderers who faces turn into skulls and then a picture of Hitler on parade... and then the narrator states "and those weak willed who are influenced" (not really an exact quote, but fuck it) and they showed a picture of some of the flower children dancing in the 60s.

Look... if what you're trying to peddle is some skewed version of Nietzschean philosophy stating that satan lives amongst us through the evils of mankind and tempts others to bring out the evil within us, ok, that is fine, but state your bullshit paradigm forthwith. Yes, Hitler was a bad man and so are serial killers, but do not say that they tempted the children of the 60s into there evil path by invoking the fears of some religious deity... what people don't recognize is that true evil exists in all of us and it is OUR decision to act upon it, not some mythological creature's, and it is through those actions that we define ourselves. Causing some great catastrophe and then blaming this same mythological creature is nothing but a coward's way out for bearing the responsibility... realize that you yourself are the cause for good and evil and stop pushing it upon your imaginary friends. Look inside you and find yourself the real god and the real devil... capable of making both good and evil, and once you have found the path that you feel is right, then run with it and make it your own. For *we* are the holders of our own destiny and by believing otherwise is a fool's errand... and delusional.

Also... the fact that they used such imagery for the show is telling... just because you do not believe in a movement or their goals and/or means does not give you the right to compare them either to the devil or some great evil, for that is cowardly. Through rational debate the answers to the ills of society will come through, and with that debate, we will all actively have a guiding hand in our future... and on that note, fuck you Glenn Beck, for you are one of the main ones who do this.

I will leave you now with a passage by Friedrich Nietzsche

=====================================================================

Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market-place, and cried incessantly: "I am looking for God! I am looking for God!"
As many of those who did not believe in God were standing together there, he excited considerable laughter. Have you lost him, then? said one. Did he lose his way like a child? said another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? or emigrated? Thus they shouted and laughed. The madman sprang into their midst and pierced them with his glances.

"Where has God gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained the earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is it not more and more night coming on all the time? Must not lanterns be lit in the morning? Do we not hear anything yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we not smell anything yet of God's decomposition? Gods too decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."

Here the madman fell silent and again regarded his listeners; and they too were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern to the ground, and it broke and went out. "I have come too early," he said then; "my time has not come yet. The tremendous event is still on its way, still traveling - it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time, the light of the stars requires time, deeds require time even after they are done, before they can be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves."

It has been further related that on that same day the madman entered divers churches and there sang a requiem. Led out and quietened, he is said to have retorted each time: "what are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?"

I don't know, i'm bored and lonely ;.;

Kou is gone and it has sucked around here.... I do nothing but work and come home to a empty house and no one to be with... :( he might say it will be only 10 more days or wtf ever, but this loneliness and overwhelming sense of boredom is crushing... blah ;.;

Anyways...

So... anyone want to come over...? I got a new ice cream machine and i'll be making ice cream and sorbet :9

stupid.

Well, here is the whole story, including the clandestine agreements leading up to this incident...

The higher ups at my company, and more specifically, our notoriously stingy owner, have continuously refused to provide us with adequate engineering controls (i.e. positive pressure ventilation, or, well, any form of actual ventilation up to and including working vent hoods). So when we get anything in that could possibly be fatal, we are (to an extent) unequipped for proper handling of said material... we finally got non-reactive gloves for the potential spill of liquid Bromine, and new ventilation (slightly) in the octane room for the operation of our cetane motor (which would, previously, leak out unfiltered diesel exhaust fumes into a room that is no bigger then 12x15 feet). As well, our company has a booming additives division that will take any job that they see fit (and by fit, I mean, turns six figure profit for only a couple hours of work), and then have the lab run all of the blends needed to adequately determine how much additive they need to put in the product to get the desired results. Well... about 2 weeks ago, we had a sample arrive, without warning, that contained hydrogen sulfide... it was, as described by the client, "a hydrocracked lubricating oil". Ok, whatever... so a guy on my shift goes to perform the drager test (basically, a tube that you crack open, and then use a hand pump to suck the vapors off of the product through the tube, and the contents of the tube will react with whatever you are looking for, and will show the amount of whatever based on the distance traveled of the reaction... in simpler terms, the tube changes color if whatever is present, and the distance the color change travels denotes the amount of the whatever is present) and almost instantly the lab fills with the smell of rotten eggs... all of us experienced enough to recognize the smell, yell at him, and he closes the sample bottle. I move the sample to a fume hood and I go to read the hydrogen sulfide content... it maxes out the 0-200 ppm tube, and then maxes out the 0-2000 ppm tube... so I pull out the big boy 0-7%, or 0-70000ppm, tube and it reads 2% hydrogen sulfide in vapor. Ok... so I then run a hydrogen sulfide in liquid test, and get the result, and we send it to the client. Well... apparently, our additives division had talked to this client and had told them we could fix their hydrogen sulfide problem and, without warning us, agreed to do a job for them... which the lab was not physically set up to handle. We do the dosing and experiments to them, largely at risk for our own lives, and give them what they need to do the dosing... a week later, we get the treated sample in (still containing extremely high amounts of hydrogen sulfide in vapor) and through our testing, show that the additives have more or less removed the hydrogen sulfide suspended in the sample, along with a good majority of the mercaptan sulfur. Well... fast forward to Thursday... the lab gets a 2 hour heads up that a sample will arrive that contains high amounts of hydrogen sulfide. The samples arrive and they are tested via the drager test, to find out how much was in vapor form... only to find that the samples maxed out the 7% drager tube... and then our coordinator for the job finally admitted that the hydrogen sulfide present in the sample exceeded 20% in vapor and that he recommends not taking the sample into the lab. Alright, cool... so the night crew tests it and they go one about their business. Well, I come in Friday night on my first day on shift to find these boxes sitting outside the lab door... and I'm given the story about what happened and what not and told not to move the bottles... well, 3 hours into a shift, the sky pisses over everything, including these boxes, and to try and avoid a potentially dangerous spill they begin to move the boxes inside (dragging them, not lifting, since the cardboard was already falling apart), when one of the bottles falls onto its side and quite literally explodes due to the pressure build up caused by having that much hydrogen sulfide in vapor. Thankfully, here is where everything went right... I heard the bottle breaking and ran out of the octane room to be greeted by the smell, they inform me of what happened but that the bottle broke just outside of our doors, so while I ran up front to grab a portable hydrogen sulfide monitor, they pulled the door shut where the break happened and scrambled about to find our gas masks. I run back into the lab with the monitor and over to the door... it doesn't go off, meaning that ambient presence of hydrogen sulfide was below 5ppm (or the monitor isn't working)... I continue to finish my octanes prior to evacuating the lab with everyone else... no one died (thankfully), but myself and a coworker both got extremely nauseated and dizzy from our inhalation of the h2s... which subsides about 48 hours after the fact (your body can cope with h2s, but it takes time for it to process it out).

Anyways... that is the whole story, i'm fine... just hoping that the higher ups will recognize this as a severe problem and will take steps to fix our lab up to help prevent what could end, next time, in someone's death.

In my lab it is not unusual to hear the sound of break glass... stuff happens, people drop things... sometimes you just have to breath the fumes from a broken bottle of gasoline for a little bit... but when you hear the sound of broken glass followed shortly by a scream and a quickly spreading smell of rotten eggs, you begin to panic... and when you realize that the bottle that had to have broken to make that smell contained enough hydrogen sulfide to kill several humans almost instantly... you begin to think of those you love... as death is imminent. A sample containing 200,000 ppm (20%) hydrogen sulfide in vapor broke in my lab Friday night... to put this in perspective...

0.00047 ppm is the recognition threshold, the concentration at which 50% of humans can detect the characteristic odor of hydrogen sulfide,[12] normally described as resembling "a rotten egg".
Less than 10 ppm has an exposure limit of 8 hours per day.
10–20 ppm is the borderline concentration for eye irritation.
50–100 ppm leads to eye damage.
At 100–150 ppm the olfactory nerve is paralyzed after a few inhalations, and the sense of smell disappears, often together with awareness of danger.[13][14]
320–530 ppm leads to pulmonary edema with the possibility of death.
530–1000 ppm causes strong stimulation of the central nervous system and rapid breathing, leading to loss of breathing.
800 ppm is the lethal concentration for 50% of humans for 5 minutes exposure (LC50).
Concentrations over 1000 ppm cause immediate collapse with loss of breathing, even after inhalation of a single breath

I have no idea who all of these people watching me are...

Hi to all of the people I don't know.

I thought this was funny so I stole it from  dracotrapnet ... and i'm as bad of a person as I thought...

This is real fun to do!
The only catch is that you cant ask the person who posted it anything about it!
Just read the "offense" and if you've done it, you owe that fine.
Keep going until you've read each "offense" and added up your total fine.
Title your response "My Bar Tab is$........"
You don't have to confess your answers, just the amount of your fine.
