      It's quite warm and sunny today, got a nice tailwind towards home, and I have some nice music. It's so nice to cycle home on a Friday after a long week with these conditions. :)

        Blegh. He gave me notes cause I'm homebound for a day, and it showed the "macron is the long" and "micron is the short" when I still don't get *anything* about scansion so notes got caught up.. blegh... Thank you.

        Also, actually, we always just call them "short" and "long", much easier to understand. :P

        Yes, but the the symbol thing a mijjigger on the notes was called "macron is long, micron is short" and I didn't quite get what "long" was at the time

      Tip: don't fool around with water in your mouth for too long... I did, breathed, and then coughed it all over the place... >.< good job me lol

      Why do I keep forgetting that when I have first period off I have to go to bed at 1:00 AM instead of 1:10... >.< (1:10 is when I don't have first period off, but went to bed too late. :P)

        Going to bed 10 minutes later when you need to be at school an hour earlier.

        Ah. First hour = wake up at 7:10, second hour = wake up at 8:30. Sleeping goes in 90 minute intervals, so I try to sleep 1.5 × X hours. However, no first period is only 80 minutes later... causing me to forget that I don't have those last 10 minutes. :P

      (EDIT: appears to be just a problem on my phone) It would be great it that "Cookie Policy" button could just go away after clicking on accept. Please, it's annoying.

        Yup, except that on pc it's only a relatively small black bar, and you have a higher resolution to put it on in the first place (making it be smaller too), while on my phone it still shows the text and is significantly larger.

      At the moment there are 28 AliExpress packages coming to my house, some of which with multiple items inside them... Why am I addicted to buying random stuff on AliExpress...? :P It's so fun though, getting all these weird items you can't find anywhere else... :)

        Yeah, I sometimes think about that too, so I try to combine as many things as possible (e.g. buy multiple of one thing in one go, or buy multiple things from one seller in one go, so they can put all in one package). Also, many of the packages are super tiny (basically a post card, smaller even), so tiny and light that you sometimes wonder how it didn't get lost along the way... :P

        Speaking about getting lost on the way, so far, that's "only" happened three times... :P The weird thing is is that that wasn't even for super thin packages, those actually had some weight and size in them. For two of those (which together wasn't even worth 60 cents... :P) I decided to contact the usually great AliExpress support, and the third one will be resent next week, after talking with the nice seller. :)

      Solution (mostly) to the bleh new Google Chrome look update: go to "chrome://flags", search for "UI Layout", select "normal", click on reload browser, and it's mostly back to what it used to look like. :D

        Your picture is gone for some reason, maybe that's why Tim didn't post another picture... :P I actually just thought about that thread minutes before seeing this - might do in a bit, I'll see. :)

      I just voted, and after voting I unexpectedly got a very special amount of rupees... http://puu.sh/Bmxjh/fff3cac27f.png Yes, I managed to get 66666 rupees without planning ahead - I didn't even expect it and was surprised by the sight of such an amazing number. :D

      That moment when you realise you'll have to move ... *downloads world (my own res), //count's* ... uhh... 1400 double chests ( ... ) to another residence... rip life... In other words, 859's time to slowly but surely retire from being my main residence has come... Very nostalgic.

        Fun fact: despite the massive size of 859, and the seemingly illogical setup of chests, I can find most items quite quickly. ;) Hopefully this new area will allow for even quicker find times, and will allow Jelle to find stuff too. :P

        I have the exact same thoughts. :P The chests won't be gone though, they'll just be moved, and still be parkourable (though likely not as nicely as now - not sure though)

      Returned back home from holidays last evening, feels weird but good to be back. :) Will likely leave again in 2 days, exited. :D

      Hmm rip I just realised I won't be able to vote for like 11 days starting next Wednesday or Thursday, but I also realise asking for someone to vote for 8 accounts (me & friends) is pretty unreasonable. :P Now, how to solve... haven't realised how to do that yet. :P

        Yeah I could do that, but I've voted every single day the last 21 days on holidays here with crappy internet, and it would suck for that exact amount to go lost.

        Hmm, thanks a lot for the offer, that sounds awesome! I already asked Jelle (as he came back much earlier from holidays than I expected), he'd do it, but he sucks at remembering to vote, so I may still ask you instead... :P

      Voting on minecraft-server.net doesn't seem to register right now, and hasn't done so yesterday evening either. Ugh. (EDIT: works again. :) )
