Watching Eurosport's cycling coverage is confusing because I'm not used to the commentators
One of them makes a decent fist of pronouncing names that rely on specific language quirks, and the other has a dour Irish monotone and doesn't even attempt native pronunciation
It just took me a few minutes to realise that when one says Jose Joaquin Rojas (Ho-say Yock-een Ro-has) and the other says "Josie Rogers" they're talking about the same person

Ell, there are a lot of counterfactuals that annoy me but the idea that the war is prevented with a stronger Prime Minister (like say Churchill) just drives me up the fucking wall.
Which war?
WW2: Europe's Bogus Journey.
Hmm, I've been thinking about that lately. The way I see it, Chamberlain, who took (takes?) so much of the blame did almost everything right, keeping the lead-up to of WWI in mind.
Now, in hindsight that didn't work out, but I hardly can blame him for that.
Eh, he could have done a better job with the military build up and so forth. But wars happen due to complex social and political trends, not the actions of individual leaders. This tends to be one of the last bastions of Great Man Theory taught as history.

I recognize that in the past I've done the "Ew! {Subculture I don't like}! Gross!" thing and I still do it occasionally. I'm trying to do it less, or at least couch it in more neutral language. "I don't care for {X}" rather than "fucking {X}ies." I'm human, I don't walk on water (mostly).
so here is something i'm kind of interested in:
you and i have been here a long time. you're not quite as old as i am, but still relatively old.
has your perspective towards subcultures generally or nerdy subcultures specifically shifted at all over the time you've spent here?
mine have really pretty dramatically. i'm not really sure if it's a function of just getting older or something else in my life or having to occasionally moderate some kind of problematic subcultures full of really poorly-socialized, resentful young people, or just something in my character.
it kind of seems like a few other of our older members have kind of drifted in this vague direction over time, but you seem to have kind of a distinct perspective.
It is...but that's why it takes 9999 EXP to get from level 13 to level 14 for a Freelancer rather than the regular 5000
But if you Growth Egg + JP Up and grind on Auto just outside Florem Gardens with your eyes closed it doesn't take too long to reach

dudes I know I talk a lot about comedy tv but SERIOUSLY Kroll show has gotten incredible.
what started in the first season as one of the regular skits, a pet plastic surgeon, has evolved to being a court case where he's accused of killing his 2nd wife.
each week of the first season this one character has evolved across various reality shows. so first he's a pet surgeon. then it's him at home. then he and his wife are on the outs so it's about his kid being the man of the house. then it's about the kid's best friend. then the kid's best friend breaks off and gets his own show and the doctor comes back with a new wife and it's the same as the earlier show but the location is different.
so now in season 2 the kid's friend is on 'dad academy' because he got the pet surgeon's publicist pregnant (who is a character on another recurring skit, publizity) and dr armond (the pet surgeon) is in court.
and this episode opened with a newscast that was super rapid (called "can I finish?") talking to all these interconnected characters and their input on the case.
I always respected Mr. Show a little above most other sketch shows because all the skits were connected. sometimes it'd be in a minor way, sometimes grander, but they always invested that extra effort.
now, goddamn. Kroll has character spanning in depth story lines, all interacting, crossing over shows in this imaginary world all while being incredibly fucking funny. talk about investment. there are other shows that make me laugh a lot but I think I have to call this the best right now. just so impressive.

Thank god most IR folks don't do great man theory on this anymore.
WWII is a lovely mix of realist theory plus constructivism plus legalism and norms now. Which makes sense.
Individual events like say Malta or similar high level conferences tend to fall under elite theory but again, that is more of a look at the head of a special interest than individuals though they do get looked at for outcomes.

So, anybody have any idea why my system's DNS cache would be retarded.
I pinged a machine, dns info was wrong, ran ipconfig /flushdns and pinged again and it went to the right IP
about an hour later it switched back to the wrong IP, i ran flushdns and it's working properly again, but I don't know why it would reset again to the wrong IP.

It doesn't happen among the Mil History types* either. The place where I tend to see it the most is in History taught at the K-12 level where it's loved because it makes for easy narratives.
*You see it sometimes when talking about Battles but it works on a tactical level because the scope is so much smaller.

Do several "nslookup <ip>"s and see if any of them return the wrong address. Maybe there's more than one A record for that address on the DNS server and it's round-robin'ing you a bad one?

Individuals can still impart a lot of flavor, and can generally affect important outcomes if their positions within the social/political decision making process allow them such (generally absolute monarchs, dictators and presidents)

going through this cs101 class makes me want to get an arduino thingie and program a little robot or summat
you can get arduino's at radioshack bro, it's almost certainly gonna be pricier than you can find online, and you'd probably be better getting a more specific kit you think would be fun.
It's kinda neat that you can find them in brick & mortar stores though, I got one for a bro as a last minute graduation present.

My time here has made me want to be less judgmental
What is gained by me raging about or tsk tsk pitying people I see at pax who are into different stuff than me? How the hell am I am expert on which of those people are going to be successful? I can't possibly know what problems or successes they have going on. It feels pretty lame to feel sorry for them because they are "other ".
The board is a place where I've met all sorts of people into all kinds of stuff and I would have missed out on a shit ton of fun if I'd made assumptions about nerds and subcultures.

Never had your lady distract you while playing an MMO?
This use to happen to me in DAoC with my gf at the time. Usually while I was tanking.
I pinged a machine, dns info was wrong, ran ipconfig /flushdns and pinged again and it went to the right IP
about an hour later it switched back to the wrong IP, i ran flushdns and it's working properly again, but I don't know why it would reset again to the wrong IP.
