Huh never realized that for gas but makes sense. Parents had a gas stove that I hated turning it on as a teen cause if it didn't light I felt like I had to wait some time, don't recall thinking of the fan even then which would have been the obvious solution but then I wouldn't be sure the gas hasn't accumulated cause well no Google back then to check.

Usually gave it like 4 clicks (of the spark trying to light it) if not lit then wait a bit. I sort of wish I understood gasses better, even if I knew high school chemistry well at the time. Never had a gas one since I've been adult to think of that part.

Both have run their course I think but I prefer American Dad's humour, plus you hear Patrick Stewart (Star Trek) say the most effed up lines.

Heh unsure if people ever watch Drawn Together but looks awfully like how they make the pickachu analog say nipple... Though sounds more like neepul. But depending on accent fairly close.

I have a wide range of tv entertainment I enjoy from thought provoking to Star Trek Next Generation Season 1 to well robot chicken and the like. To be fair I've had good laughs and enjoyment in what fits in each types regardless of show. Nothing beats a good skant outfit mind you.

Too bad a person in charge never shyed away from bombing hospitals. Okay I'm sure this could be propaganda but not exactly inconceivable given the girl's school. Ugh this whole world order sucks ass. Like can't we the people get anything from.... Well anything? Sure in Canada we get our universal healthcare, sure in EU they get post secondary education (jealous of that one) but what does any of this fighting achieve for people? We get higher oil prices and expected to support a government. Fuck this shit it sucks.

The government should start thinking of the world rather than their own bank account. From climate change,to housing, to retail costs. Us people only have so much but they live like fat cats. Its sickening

And the worst part is no country has condemned actions of the US because they're worried of upsetting someone with the temperament of a toddler. Well fuck that orange douche, why does he get to stir shit while everyone watches and just mmmm hmmms through it. Its sickening. This is not what we vote in for as a democracy (I hope).

My work computer had an update yesterday, logged in and my usual browser wasn't the default. Have seen it a few times. So while I usually agree if it is my usual I change it back to that. I hate windows programs asking to be my default, I know what I want, if it's you you'll know otherwise piss off.

So many windows notifications lately for the stupidest crap. I already set it up how I liked now stop bugging me so I can write code. Also if I wanted backups, to set up a Microsoft account my windows install will be the first to know. Otherwise piss off.

Not productive when I get distracted and annoyed.

Do they get to the crescendo? I don't know much about music but trying my hand and took some course and there was a comment 'listen to this one it sounds like it's building the entire song' but the song never gets there. Bit melancholy/sad type tones chord progression but seems like it's epic in its sound. Course the epic part may be due to the composer knowing his stuff but the idea was a chord progression that kept building to nowhere.

So curious of that sounds about right for your description. I forget the name but when the instructor put a link I was like oh yeah that song, like lots of movies or probably commercials used similar for the emotion. À

Just be cool to know another name if that sounds right is all. Enjoy finding more examples to compare and notice what makes the sound (even if I can't reproduce it)

Thanks for the whole bit, he wrote it much better than I ever could and in a way that makes it simple to understand. The mark of a good writer, which from what I understand he was. Okay I need to check out more of his stuff.

Unfortunately but least you have a good mindset while things are pearshaped in their current way. It feels like that lately even in Canada (for world situation). Like who the hell lets a leader stay in after starting a war and losing it? Seriously, that's balls. Let alone losing all soft power the country had. You'd almost think he was working for a select few....

I hope things improve one day, but world order is definitely not the same now. Perhaps for the better but things were calmer before is all.

Heh like a bit from Dune, people got too soft, ended up the fremen were enough to let Paul be emperor and change everything by becoming ruler. The philosophy from that story really shows for it anyways. Power doesn't necessarily corrupt, it attracts those who are corruptable to do what they want. Huh, I just typed it differently and understood what the author meant. Neat cause it's way more accurate. Also hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, no one that wants to be president should ever be given the position. Same idea, different stories but works still.

Maybe one of the things he comes back in x years going, I loved those books! (After not reading for years) Mean one can hope but you least tried give a good gift. All things I've heard is he's an amusing author though don't know much beyond what I've seen comments on, oh plus Good Omens but only saw season 1 which was based on some of his work, listened to the audiobook too that was a good one. But I enjoy the premise of angels and such.
