It doesn't know shit about my avatar though.

user15026

@GnomeSlice That's not hard.... XD

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn When you think about how many similar images are probably out there of different girls it's actually pretty impressive.

user15026

@GnomeSlice I suppose

skovacs1

@AshleyNunn Doesn't affect my code and keyword search turns up relevant materials to base my own art off of. If I already have the image I'm looking for that I found through image search, I use the "similar" search when I need that. I seldom ever reverse source an image so like I said, not much use to me.

GnomeSlice

12:01 AM

@Ullallulloo sweet!

skovacs1

I like how my gravatar is so esoteric that it pulls no search results.

I'm a little disappointed that in all the years of having this gravatar, nobody has ever asked me what it was or what it means

Ullallulloo

@skovacs1 Cave Story soundtrack?

GnomeSlice

This is addicting

Ullallulloo

No, wait. That's just a post of yours on the Cave Story forums.

Hah, the best guess adds lots of words onto image searches of pornstars.

12:09 AM

@Ullallulloo Actually it's a running gag for a side character who starts stalking the main character because she feels left out. She spends so much time stalking the protagonist that they put a reserved sign on the fixtures she hides behind. It speaks to my lurky nature. It's from Shakugan no Shana's spin off Shakugan no Shana-tan.

Oh man I am going to abuse this search so much

how is this even useful

Also, if you have a general idea what you are looking for, you can create or find a similar image and search for the original you seek. Think game rec.

Q: How do I get item drops?

Just curious as to how to obtain item drops from the last update. It seems that after playing a bit, I've gotten no drops, but I've seen players who've gotten drops after a few short minutes of gameplay, but I've been playing for hours. Is the item drop system like TF2, where you can just idle,...

counter-strike-go

skovacs1

Oh crap. There was enough content in the HIB to justify the low price so I bought it. Now I realize that several of the games purchased have trading cards that I'll have to grind out. My whining earlier about wanting more cards was answered.

or not...

The only badges I see now available are for games I've had for a while...

Oh man this Origin thing must be great, I just heard about it on this Origin Humble Bundle! Let's just open it up and get the games I bought!

Until I get paid, I actually have to cut down on all purchases. It's been two months now that I've given up pay and my balance is getting low. The HIB was an impulse buy and given that it lasts 2 weeks, I'll most certainly regret purchasing when I have trouble affording food.

The Internet of Things refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. The term Internet of Things was proposed by Kevin Ashton in 1999. The concept of the Internet of Things first became popular through the Auto-ID Center at MIT and related market analysts publications. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is often seen as a prerequisite for the Internet of Things. If all objects and people in daily life were equipped with identifiers, they could be managed and inventoried by computers. Tagging of things may be achieved through suc...
