Interesting. The article fails to mention 1998 was also super-rainy due to El Nino - rainfall levels not seen since or I think for decades prior.
On the veldt, software companies who paid too much for images during dry years were eaten by lions.
I suppose I should have found the earlier comment referred to here: http://www.unfogged.com/archives/comments_13196.html#1615481
In retrospect, 1 makes more sense if you've read the article.
I once walked my annual self-appraisal clear across campus rather than using campus mail because it was a nice day and it was overdue.
1: Yes. The long 1980s-90s drought had already ended but 1998 was a big outlier. I remember being sorry I missed out, since I was on the east coast that spring semester.
Thanks for the earworm No, really.

OT: My cousin wrote an article about the mob stealing nuts in California.

Nice article. But you chicks have made so many puns in linking to it.
I still miss XP. I also miss calling things "programs" instead of "apps."
13: Same here. Either I'm an old fogey or I'm a linguistic prescriptivist. Not sure which is worse.
Endorse 13/14. Also, I quite like Win10, but I think XP was actually more intuitive. I managed to avoid Vista on my own kit.
Like I'm going to pay for Spider Solitary, you greedy shits.

That's the other time that our neighborhood took on about 4' of water. The story goes that the previous owner of this house had plans and was about to start construction when the flood happened, and so he tore up the plans and built the house at the height of the flood.
Why didn't he just wait for the water to go down?
Weren't you listening? The plans got all wet. You know how paper gets.
But drywall need to be dry when you put it in. It's right there in the name.
Historically, drywall was actually called wetwall, because it is excavated from the bottom of rivers. Then a wet-dry-vac is used to to dehydrate the planks into the current, recognizable form. The orange peel texture or popcorn texture reflects the various underwater environments from which is was culled - were there minnows nibbling at moss on it? Had coral and reef had time to form? It's actually endangered and a really bad thing to do to the environment, asshole.
Mining dry/wetwall from the riverbed during a flood is just irresponsible. And I bet he had underpaid Mexicans do it for him, because he's a Texan asshole like you.
Ours is actually sustainable bamboo pressed pseudodrywetwall, harvested from a dedicated pondfarm. Salmon do the pressing, resulting in a faint lox color to the walls which elites may scoff at, but actually makes me feel virtuous, for I am making the world a better place. Also it was harvested by the salmon themselves, who are unionized and paid living wages, and then themselves harvested.
The USW is trying to unionize the local graduate students. Is that who did the salmon organizing?
I hadn't thought that far ahead. I'm mostly just trying to figure out if the grad students have a good shot at succeeding.
I looked up historical rainfall levels (which I've still not really figured out the reliable source for) and learned that at least in Santa Rosa, they broke 1998 records a few months ago.
The records before 1846 are probably in Spanish.
Anyway, the part ben brutally excised from my email
"Anywhere on this planet right now, if you stop somebody on the street and you show somebody that photograph, they're going to say 'I've seen that somewhere, I recognize that,'" [the photographer] said. "I think it's going to be around forever."I think he's right about the recognition. Though of course it won't be around forever. In one Al Reynolds book set ~500 years hence, there's a museum of computing with a big hourglass icon outside. No-one remembered what it meant, but it was an ancient symbol of computing. That one dated fast.
I never consciously realized the hourglass went away until just now.

"The Prefect". There's also an apple with a bite taken out of it; no one remembers what that one means either, but they're fairly sure it's a reference to Alan Turing.
Good point about the hourglass. Like Moby, I never consciously noticed it had gone.

I don't think it's totally gone yet. Lots of strategy game UIs have some form of hourglass when the AI is doing its thing.

This seems spectacularly wrong. Not least because most kids now under the age of, what, 10, will likely never have seen it.
Most kids, maybe. But there's a huge number of XP machines out there, and many of them in schools and libraries and such.
Doesn't mean they have the default desktop.
