The little chain letter aspect at the end of each one was entertaining.  :plus:

Except for December.  :apondering:

Maybe they do not need a new relationship. Or maybe this explains why December babies are all single.

Wait a minute....this horoscope is biased!!!

Quote from: December
Better than all of these other months!

WTF!
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

Yesterday he hit the bullseye two times out of ten from ten feet away.  Today he hit it four times out of ten from fifteen feet.

Just to apply some perspective, here, I hit the bullseye  (three inch circle) ten out of ten times from fifty feet away.  BUT he is learning to hold on target, doing well, SQUEEZING the trigger and making certain that his weapon is never pointed in an unsafe direction.
I am very proud of him.

I often don't come here because there is typically nobody or just a couple of people online and thus next to no interaction. As much as I don't like social interaction, I do sometimes need it.

If you like music, and have a nice pair of headphones, we can share tunes.

I am listening to Ratatat atm.

Usually, I come here early in the mornings, GMT+1, before heading off to work. I think that would translate to around midnight and onwards for you.

If you sit on your hand until it goes numb and then whack off, it feels like someone else is doing it.  :green:

If you are shopping for a Dolby CP500 and know beforehand that you'll want to screen 70mm Dolby prints, it is probably easier for you to forget about the CP500 and go for the older CP65. Finding the daughter board you'll need for the extra noise reduction in the CP500 is a pain. :GA:

On the other hand, if you decide you'll get the CP65 for your 70mm needs, you do need to buy two Cat 300 boards to replace the Cat 350s the processor will most likely be equipped with.

The 350, which I'm sure everybody knows, is an SR only card. The 300 will provide you with both SR and A.

In 1946, some maple syrup producers started using reverse osmosis to remove water from sap before the sap is boiled down to syrup. The use of reverse osmosis allows about 75-90% of the water to be removed from the sap, reducing energy consumption and exposure of the syrup to high temperatures.

The Dolby Cat 150 card, handling what is known these days as "Dolby Pro Logic" or more commonly "Dolby Surround" in older Dolby cinema processors, went through several revisions before being moved to the digital domain. The last revision was called "E".

The Dolby Cat 669 is a daughter board to the CP500 processor, used for adding another two channels of Dolby A/SR noise reduction for 70mm magnetic strip soundtracks. Only a few were manufactured and so it is very difficult to get hold of today.
