I moved into my new cave yesterday. It has a really neat doorbell.

Just a brass lever on the outside and the chime on the inside.

A sea slug that is able to detach, re-grow, and then re-use its penis has surprised scientists.

Cerberus

Cute!

I knew there were animals that could do that.

I thought it had a certain length of penis rolled up inside that it could use, but that its supply was finite?

chatkillah

I hope it's that collection of spiny things on the right.

Great, somebody has hooked up a Markov-chain generator to ELU and has started posting its results as answers:

-1

A: Difference in meaning: "would have had to be" vs "would have had to have been"

And simple past, and time-reference or temporality for the time-reference of a clause or sentence, not of a word boundaries. What were once considered two can be separated. As you see, combining form leads to all kinds of models have merit. Most language users happen to think of will use it". The...

I just popped in to say that "I never saw that before" is perfercly asseptable where I'm from.

And also, I'm a little bit drunkenly finally playing Dragon Age Origins, and I think my transcript comprehension might be, err, slightly a tiny bit impaired. I hope your piano can be fixed, @rob.

Cerberus

@aediaλ Yayyy Dragon Age!

We'll talk about it later, now it's bed time.

aedia λ

Yeah. Let's try this talking thing again when y'all awake ok? Like, torrowow or whenever stupid DST stops stealing the time from me...

Cerberus

Haha.

aedia λ

@cerby!

Cerberus

Have fun with Alistair and Morrigan!

aedia λ

5:30 AM

Yeah. I should goto bed no collecting $200 or anything

Cerberus

And try Nightmare once you're up to it, makes the battles so much more exciting!

aedia λ

Omfg no

Cerberus

The first Ogre at Ostagar is extremely hard on Nightmare btw.

Bai!

(There is a Trick...control whichever character the Ogre is after by hand hand, and keep running around the room in circles as fast as you can, while your mates kill him slowly.)

poof

(So control the character and run by hand. The Ogre is too slow to catch you.)

aedia λ

I had no idea you would do such a thing. I have been past ostagar (drat that is hard to type on the phone... I'm using the phone as my alternate screen because computer videogame yeah)

Cerberus

POOOF

aedia λ

5:33 AM

Haha.

Cerberus

Ah haha OK.

aedia λ

@aediaλ DST steals times from no one; it merely fucks with our clocks. The cow is not deceived into changing her lactation period, nor the rooster his cockle-doodle-doing. Only those desperados who live their lives with time doled out in miserly snippets at though it were a paycheck-to-paycheck commodity even notice these things. Them, and trainspotters.

But does it save anything?

Robusto

@aediaλ I finished ME3 finally and was somewhat disappointed. Why don't they ever let Shepard survive? Seems kind of unfair. Oh well, back to ACIII, at least until I get use of my piano back.
