Today...

I don't know what their conditions are but from what I remember I would be pretty cold too. The minute you get out of the water you will start getting cold - unlike if you're hanging in there for an hour.

Yeah, except this is before they get in the pool. There is a bin next to each swimmers seat for them to put all their clothes in, and I've watched swimmers who are wearing sweatpants, a sweater, and a long winter jacket when they come out onto the deck.

 

They aren't sweating though, so far as I can tell at least, so that's part of what makes me wonder if there is something I am missing.

My girlfriend graduated with one of the American Olympic swimmers but he may or may not be competing for Ireland so whatevs.

 

I imagine all the extra gear is for pre sweat. You want to be limber and warm before an athletic performance so maybe they're trying to increase body heat before the match to swim fast later in the match?

[Noxx]

When i was still living in South Africa, i used to train with an athlete who went on to compete in the 2008 Olympics, if i remember correctly. Or it might have been the 2012 Olympics. I could have easily been there with him had i not moved. Oh well...

I'd imagine the jackets are somewhat due to the fact that swimmers have nearly the lowest body mass percentages and when you are wet you lose a lot of heat really quickly. No fat to store heat + quick heat loss equals easy cold.

Why is it assumed if you're not using Windows you're using Linux or Mac OS X? Anything POSIX-compliant application should be compatible with any POSIX-compliant operating system with minimal modifications.

 

Emscripten has a hard-coded check for Windows/Linux/OS X, yet by modifying the 'emsdk' script and making FreeBSD synonymous with 'Linux', it builds and works fine.

 

Also, the 'emsdk' script is overwritten with the latest one, so rather than dig through and disable that behavior, I had to copy it and run the copy, so my changes weren't discarded.

[Bonez899]

Because there are very few people who use systems that are not Windows/Mac OS/Linux based and although I don't know much I'd assume most that don't are building their own software from ground up.

[Veiva]

It's more like the same reason "Windows 9" would have caused problems: people make terrible assumptions about platforms when none are needed, resulting in broken software.

 

Emscripten compiles fine if I work around the hard-coded platform check. I don't know why it wouldn't, since there's no reason it should depend on anything exclusive to Linux.

Bloody hell being lost in Napoli wasn't fun but I'm off to see mount Vesuvius tomorrow!!

Emscripten is such a joke lol

[Veiva]

Emscripten is such a joke lol

Why so?

[Hedgehog]

It's a shoddy solution to a problem that doesn't even exist

His rsn was ocialisiz, granted he quit well before I did, probably around when we started high school I'm 2009

[Melos]

Today I got Level 49 Invention. I also died once in Diablo 2 so basically lost all the experience I earned today ugh.

Lately i've been getting very lazy. I just don't feel like leaving the house as much as i used too. I've been wanting to buy the Season Pass for The Division for a long time now, and finally decided to do it yesterday. Well, i went to buy a gift-card to buy it on the PSN Store. So i get home, i buy the Pass, download the DLC, etc. It doesn't work. I know the DLC had a lot of problems on PS4, so i check for solutions, spend about 3 hours trying different solutions. Finally it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, the fact that my PS4 account was created in the US and my game was bought in the Middle East might have something to do with it. Well, to make a long story short, it did. The fact that the game and the DLC are not from the same region made it incompatible. So i ended up having to buy the digital copy of the game. Basically wasted $40. Not a big deal, just kind of annoyed at myself for not really thinking about something like that.I also find it kind of stupid that this is even a thing. At least now i know. Won't be making the same mistake in the future.

I thought they ditched region locking for games years ago. I remember it was a problem for us Aussies for a bit. Maybe that's just between the US and us, though.

[Estonian dude]

Depends on regions. Some games are censored differently in Middle-East or Europe. Germany has quite harsh rules for video games for example.

22 years old and permanently moving to the other side of the country in less than a week and I managed to upset one of my best friends so badly that she might not ever want to speak with me again because I didn't break off ties with another one of my best friends that hurt her really badly in the past. It's so difficult for me to break off friendships, but I know that there's no way that I can get through the week without losing one or maybe both of them and it's really killing me to go through this right now. I just feel so empty

[Lower Levelled]

[bleep] people that want you to burn bridges. It doesn't directly affect her if you maintain a friendship with the other person. That's her being insecure.

I carelessly invited both of them to my going away party, which caused this shitshow.

 

basically they were both really drunk, he claims it was an accident but somehow he ended up choking her for a second, then they made out. he claims she initiated, she claims it was nonconsensual. I didn't see it happen at the time though I was with them. They crashed on my couch that night and apparently he kept making advances on her that she denied. He didn't think he did anything wrong and thinks that he stopped after she said no, she maintains that he kept trying and touched her. This happened while I was asleep so I didn't witness any of it. I didn't learn about anything that happened after the choking until this summer (this situation happened in October). The whole thing was incredibly uncomfortable, and they tried talking after the fact but after a failed date of some sort he gave up on it because things were too weird and they stopped talking. She views this as being objectified and thrown away once she wouldn't have sex with him. There's more to it but that's the gist.

 

She is pissed at me for not immediately dropping my friendship with him. I just didn't want to make such a drastic decision lightly and wanted to hear both sides of the story, but I hoped I could just make it until I left at the end of this summer without ruining anything but it's pretty clear that I [bleep]ed up and I'm really not sure what to do at this point. I feel like the right thing to do is to break things off with the guy, but its just so hard making a call just based on the word of the two involved parties when he's been my best friend for 7 years and she's been one of my best friends for 5. I'm probably being a piece of shit for even hesitating about this and I feel awful for making her feel unsafe and putting her in this situation. I'm just not sure if there's anything I can do to fix things at this point.

How come your male friend is starting drama for you by trying to hook up with your friend? If it was 100% consensual that's still something I'd be pissed at my friend about.

 

How come your female friend kept hanging around this dude who tries to molest her at every opportunity? I probably wouldn't sleep on a couch with someone who tried to choke me out or stick their tongue in my mouth without my consent. Then after being touched against my will on the couch going on a date with that person. I don't understand her decisions at all.

 

 

They were both friends before, the three of us were best friends before this happened. They were friends from high school. This happened on a weekend when they came out from my hometown to visit me at my college town. We were all really drunk, so there was no way either of them were going to be able to drive home that night after it happened. I offered the girl an air mattress in my room, but she declined it in hopes that they could talk things out somehow, but instead everything got worse. She told me later that not taking me up on that offer was one of the biggest regrets she had.

 

I didn't understand the date thing either, but she went through a brief alcohol bender after that happened and was in a terrible place emotionally, and set up that date while she was drunk. In her eyes, the only way that anything that happened could be okay was if they started dating somehow and that ended up just being the weird way they started that, and that it would somehow retroactively make everything consensual. But by the time the date came she was sober and repulsed by him and they barely talked and she kicked him out. It was a hard place for her because she was so close with the guy. I don't completely understand it either, but that was her explanation.

[RpgGamer]

Sounds like both friends suck, you're better off.

I got my home server working! I wanted to use FreeNAS, but the BIOS or motherboard are a bit wonky and bootable media attached to USB causes it to lock during POST, so I just installed FreeBSD directly. For the past couple weeks, I've been fiddling with getting a FreeBSD jail to access the internet only via a VPN. Well, I finally got that working.

 

It'll download and store media, mostly. It'll also serve as a secondary and more accessible on-site backup for me and a primary backup solution for my brother. Going to get it set up to push compiling things off my primary computer, such as when there's updates to some software I modify and maybe personal projects in the future. There's a couple other things I'm going to use it for as well later.

 

Will add a couple hard disks in the future, for redundancy and extra storage. Made the install process into several scripts, so if I ever have to do it over, it'll be very easy.

 

The best part: I access it via hawkins.gov, and the primary account is called drbrenner. It's really cool to type "ssh [email protected]" or open a browser at "hawkins.gov" to access the web UI for Emby/Deluge/SickBeard/etc. Ooooh, so fancy...

Why is she so wishywashy and willing to keep doing all this with a guy who continually violates her boundaries and safety?

 

Another thing that can explain her behavior is that while drunk she was kinda into him and once the vodka wore off she was grossed out by him. Maybe she felt like she would be judged or felt that he took advantage of the fact that she was drunk and had lower standards to justify her belief that he was behaving non consensually.

 

I just can't understand based on the story why after she decided to sleep with him that she stayed there after numerous ass grabs or other such touches that made her uncomfortable. I know nothing about the specifics of this situation but my bs meter is ringing hard right now.

 

 

Sounds like both friends suck, you're better off.

Basically my stance.

 

[bleep] them both

My bad, when I said sleep with I meant literally, they didn't have sex, they just both slept on separate parts of the l couch. I'll respond to the rest later when I'm not on mobile lol
