    I want to make Perler bead sprite things.

    Does anyone know if there's, like, a pixel statistic program? Where I can feed it an image and have it spit out "one hundred white pixels two hundred 00FF00" etc? Or better yet, assign it bins so it tells me what is closest to what and binds them all?

    Or do I have to make one myself?

    Because that sounds annoying.

    wait, they're called Perler as like, a brand?

    this sounds kinda interesting but the salary :[

    Sadly, it sounds pretty much in line with what you're likely to see for that type of position in the land of small nonprofits.

    I generally don't drink coffee. I'll have a cup on Sundays before my show shoots and occasionally Wednesdays before work. I'm saving up all my caffeine intolerance for grad school. This is seriously how I think about it.

    That is silly because you can stop for three weeks and be totally back to your pre-addiction baseline.

    Addiction also builds up within about a week.

    Caffeine is a drug which our bodies adapt to really quickly.

    Family Guy had an episode that was gonna come out where Peter converts to Islam, runs over Boston Marathon participants, and bombs a bridge

    Obviously it is never gonna see the light of day and it was produced a year in advance so there's no way anyone could have known

    but that is some bad luck

    Yeah, even with a long-standing coffee addiction like mine, I'm comfortable knowing that it would take me all of a month to completely obliterate my tolerance and go back to square one. Those first ten days would be pretty rough, though.

    You know what

    I want to do a study.

    I want to gather data, every time someone says "Oh you know how they are" or "They're the ones who", any time someone refers to a vague third-person "they", I want to record the "they" they're actually talking about. Crunch all the data, and come up with a list of the most likely "theys", see who ends up being "they" most of the time.

    Who do I apply to for a grant for this.

    Academia sometimes attracts the worst kind of power-tripping assholes.

    A professor once tried to have my scholarship revoked because I was going to the NCAA Awards Presentation where my team, that I played on, was being honored instead of going to his shitty Monday night lecture on Plato.

    how'd that work out

    I went to the presentation, got my championship ring, the prof tried to revoke my scholarship and failed, and then I doubled my workload so I could graduate the next semester (2 years early) and GTFO.

    I was really sick of that guy's shit.

    Wow. Did you ever try to approach the school about it? Department chair or some such dude?

    I told the AD, but I was already on my way out. If I had been fairly new in my time there, I would have pitched a fucking fit.

    that episode came out a month ago. apparently the big deal is someone edited some scenes together to make it especially uncomfortable (in the original episode those scenes- the joyride through the marathon and peter bombing a bridge with muslim friends- are totally unrelated).

    I don't watch Family Guy, but I googled it and saw something about Seth McFarlane pulling the month old episode from hulu after someone spliced together the Boston Marathon and bridge bombing clips.

    Kim Jong-Un had NO military experience whatsoever before Daddy made him a four-star general.

    This snot-nosed twerp had never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to

    military leadership.

    He hadn’t even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, coached a sports team, or commanded

    a military platoon. So he is made the “Beloved Leader” Of North Korea. Terrific!-

    Oh crap!

    I’m sorry.

    I just remembered that we did the same thing.

    We took an arrogant bastard community organizer, who had never worn a uniform

    and made him Commander-in-Chief.

    A guy, who had never had a real job, worked on a budget, or led anything more than an

    ACORN demonstration, and we made him “Beloved Leader” of the United States TWICE !!!

    I’m sorry I even brought this up….Never mind.
