    What happened to..........(FoH Poster)?

    That probably makes you the longest tenured poster at this point. Most of the UO guys packed it in a long time ago. I personally arrived here because I followed some folks from Toril MUD to the EQ release, playing on Veeshan with a lot of that crowd. I was not aware of it fully at the time...

    What happened to..........(FoH Poster)?

    A lot of the old guard is long gone. I think if you could do a headcount of those of us who were around during the noows era, that 10ish number is probably about right. We lost a bunch to the hoofshots spat and a bunch more to the Jeffylys shit. But really when the core old guard hung it up...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Good work output never comes without a toll. Some people are social cancer, others just straight up assholes (me), and others sketchy/untrustworthy. Learning to cope with that to get shit done is pretty much the way you get to be successful as a leader, especially in IT. Well adjusted people...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    That or there is a Poo with a title up the food chain you are not aware of orchestrating things to increase the infestation. Our company has a couple of those and the last six contractors that got hired on all produced zero work, literally zero, over the 18 months they were here before finally...

    As much as we would like to believe it, we are simply not up to the high standards of racism and hatred that Asians operate on. She probably would be bored here.

    Dating

    Everyone in agreement just makes your woman brain ("Don't tell me what to do!!") dig its heels in harder. The bottom line is the same. You won't know unless you take the risk and if the downside is unbearable for you then you probably are not ready to date and won't be for a while...

    He might not be the problem. You might be subconsciously punishing your self for the mistakes made that led to your prior relationship. Spending more time will answer some of it, as well as either confirm or alleviate doubts you might have. You learn a lot when you have to share a bathroom...

    Young Sherlock

    I get that you're arguing this like a lawyer but I was mainly debating the idea that people can't go back to past memories and look for additional details about specific things they didn't find noteworthy at the time. You're trying to diffuse it into some nebulous issue because you operate on...

    Dating

    I agree with pretty much all of the advice being presented, but would add this: Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the ideal. All relationships involve sacrifice and personal investment by both people, if you want them to succeed. Keep an eye out for red flags and check him out in his...

    Young Sherlock

    No, we get it. People can actually do this. Think of it in terms of something like watching the movie Fight Club and how many seemingly pointless details are in the movie that you do not make the connection on until the second viewing. For people with exceptional or eidetic levels of memory...

    Young Sherlock

    I can definitely say from personal experience that there is a layer of organization that goes on, even if its unconscious. Also, training does factor into it. People with exceptional memories will tend to have freakishly strong memories when the subject matter involves something they are well...

    Young Sherlock

    Not necessarily true. You can experience something and have a memory of it, but not understand its significance until you gain more information later on. I am by no means eidetic, but I do have a very freakishly strong memory, especially long term things. It does have a high correlation with...

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    There are some cheesy episodes and some outright bad ones, but a lot of the OG Trek was build on solid sci-fi ideas that let the viewer think without slamming them over the head with imposed morality. Special Effects have not held up (the remastered versions help a bit here) but the core...
