You know I really don't. The only reasons I'm still alive are guilt and stubbornness.

I'm so glad my only problems are emotiona- ...If you need me I'll just be sitting here quietly, blinking rapidly and tearing up as I once again convince myself that I have a reason not to kill myself...

It's only half-past midnight and my eyes are literally pink! :blink:

What you're describing is LARPing, cosplay is pure costume quality. And the hoodie isn't actually the same as the "real" god tier hoodies, they're single-colour, sleeved and have simple hoods and kangaroo pockets. [hide='This is what I'm talking about][/hide]

I fall within the third though I am tempted to try, because I actually look somewhat like him and I am STRONG*. *Not quite that strong, but above the average jock. Also I have seen some that have really pulled him off, I just couldn't find any. Though the majority of the really good cosplayers are Vriskas.

You have to actually look like the character you're cosplaying as for it to be a good cosplay, an accurate costume can't correct the looks of the cosplayer. [hide='Bad cosplay][/hide] You don't look like Jade and although it wouldn't be quite as bad as my example there, it wouldn't be a good cosplay either. I think you might actually find yourself more suitable as a Rose.

[spoiler='Got myself a new accessory:] Retro welding goggles. Because I'm THAT awesome![/half-irony] Yeah, I dropped the right glass so it broke in half and I had to glue it, but the crack adds character.

Unless you take it in and out of total vacuum then no, it simply means the wire will hold a pretty stable 0,002 or so more degrees than the air around it if it is short-circuited.

A wire carrying a voltage such as a computer provides (5 volts for USBs) won't heat up unless thermally isolated for days if not weeks, the kind of wattage necessary for a wire to actually get hot enough to sustain damage requires a voltage of 50 or more seeing as the voltage drop across a cable of a length and breadth suitable for the +V of a USB headset is at most 0.001%, which during a short-circuit in the headset would only produce 5/(0,268(approximate resistance in the wire)*2)*5=46,5W=46,5J/s, if we say the wire weighs 50 grams that means it'll heat up by 0,22 degrees per second, while this seems like it may add up considerably, the heat will dissipate into the air faster, or would if that was physically possible without the wire actually becoming colder than the air.

To be honest it's one of your most stupid traditions. Only other nation to have had anything like it was the Third Reich I think.

Actually no, the best way to get maximum distance out of gliding is not by going level, it's by finding the angle at which your velocity remains unchanging and maintaining it until you have reached the target/have to abort. This knowledge comes from hours of experience with Learn to Fly and similar games.

Radio airport, explain emergency, glide towards it at optimal angle, land. (A 10- degree angle would be easy to hold even without engines.)

Check altitude.

First I would check the fuel pressure to see if there's anything wrong with the fuel lines, then I would check the oil pressure to see if the engines are out of oil, then I would try the ignition if neither show anything wrong, if that fails I would attempt a slight dive while igniting to push-start the engines, should that fail too I would check the distance to the nearest airport and if it is within range hail to request landing or if it is too far perform an emergency landing. Alternatively I would step out of the flight simulator.

You know, I love how the school system works here, you don't sign up for classes, you sign up for a topic and your classes revolve around that. And there's no other groups or anything like that, you've got all of the other people in your class in all of your classes, apart from gym where there are two other classes there at the same time. It's simple and it works. Also gym is the only class that we have outside our usual classroom.

Icu, I know but that project still seems to be a little out of my league seeing as using a video stream to detect movement and calculate the position of that movement first into yaw and pitch angles, then into pulses appears to be a little too complicated since I haven't even gotten started on learning visual basic yet. Archi, well it wasn't supposed to be a "Pity me", it was a "Way to be considerate, smartass!"

Would you mind helping me later? I'm likely going to be making a paintball turret at school and it will most likely have to be controlled by visual basic through a USB card.

I know some very basic PHP, although not as much as I would like to.

Earth, I am not blaming my diagnosed Asperger's for the way I act or what you have perceived as a lack of friends, I am blaming it for my lack of interest in going to social gatherings and my inability to get a girlfriend. That is the same way I act among people I do not know well, although my reason not to initiate conversation is my discomfort for doing so rather than reasoning. I do have a lot of friends and I am more than capable than interacting with them with next to no difficulty. I was not asking for pity, just for people not to expect of me what they expect of people who do not have a mental condition. I don't get annoyed when people don't find it interesting, I only get slightly annoyed when they display their disinterest in an aggressive manner such as Nex did and continued to do even after I tried to change the subject. Asperger's was not brought up as a reason why I share my views, it was brought up as a reason for why going to a social event was out of the question as an alternative for what I could have been doing. For the discussion of my sugar intake however, my stance was "I know it's bad, but I was bored." That was exactly what I was getting at, to ease the impact of a person's mental condition you have to ease the impact of their personality. There's no way to actually remove them even for a short time, only to omit large parts of the brain.

Autism is not a medical condition, it's a mental one, there's no medicine that can ease it... unless you count alcohol and date-rape drugs...

I am fully aware that they are within my control, I just find extreme discomfort in intervening, in some cases I'd imagine what I feel during social interaction with people I don't know well would be the equivalent of what you feel after realizing you forgot to put on some pants before going to school. And I am in no way too content to fix it, because I will never be fine with being single, you could say... [bleep], there's no excuse... I'm just too scared of that discomfort to go up to and talk to someone I don't know. Also for me, forgetting pants would seem like a bliss, because as long as I can't be blamed for it, it could only solve problems.

I am not self-diagnosed, nor was it my idea to get it checked. I have several of both the positive and negative traits that come with Asperger's, many of those that I don't have can be attributed to the therapy I went to in order to "learn to play" when I was a little kid (apparently before that, my idea of playing was to go find somewhere to sit for hours). No, what I'm doing is being aware that my mental disorder is responsible for a difficulty that I find myself partially incapable of overcoming, and that it as a direct result caused all but one of the bad things about my life. Although what you said is not an uncommon thing as mental disorders do not only make you do things you don't want to do, they also make some things come more naturally or prohibit other options through discomfort. EDIT: I'm not saying that it has ruined my life, I'm saying my social [developmentally delayed]ation is my "only" bad characteristic that I can think of and that it's one that I would like to be rid of. "Only" because I don't really give a [cabbage] about my Hyperlipidemia when I come to think of it, even though it's an obvious flaw.

Sleep? No [bleep]ing way! I'm nocturnal... also if you remember I kind of just ate somewhere around twice the advised daily dose of sugar.

Well excuse me for being socially [developmentally delayed]ed as a result of my diagnosed mental condition. Also excuse me for living in a place where it is currently 01:00.

Neither are possible, I do not have the stomach capacity to hold that much (in fact just the remainder is way more than I could fit in my entire abdomen were it to be hollowed out) and I do not blog. Also a somewhat random thought, nicotine, caffeine, heroine, cocaine and nitroglycerine are all proteins, just like gelatine and keratine. Also WTF sort of wannabe measurement is a tub? A tub is per definition any rounded container from a bathtub to a thimble.
