Wow, I just reached vote bonus 3000! I can't begin to realise how long that is. Feb 13, 2024

      Dangit, I had been voting consistently literally every day before midnight for over 4 months, but today I finally broke that streak... I was in the shower while my alarms went, and apparently did not realise that it had already been past midnight until now... big whoops. :P

        Ah. :P Still think it's stone age, and the once every 24 hours is "preprehistory". :D

        Grrrrr my alarms didn't go off today because of no good reason..... -_- I got the "Clock has stopped" message 3 times much earlier today, but forgot to restart my phone then, and didn't think much of it... turns out to have been a bad call, sigh... I hate this thing my phone sometimes does, where it randomly decides alarms just don't need to go off... it's why I also use my old phone as a wake up alarm... :P

        No Tom, that would be a terrible idea, it would make me do even less for school... :P To be fair: I'm currently in the middle of a test week and I didn't open any books since it started, but, you know, even I tend to at least go there, and I prefer to keep it that way :P
        (for people who don't know me: don't worry, I A+ everything :P )

      Why do less people have a high voting streak on the 5th voting site than on the 6th voting site..? :P

      Whoops I just found myself thinking that it would be convenient for this assignment for English if I had more monitors... I have 4... I was thinking along the lines of 6... oops... :P

        Sad. :P You should really get a second monitor, going from 1 to 2 is an insane difference and you won't be able to go back to just 1 after getting used to 2. Even a small, old monitor is amazing. :)

      Google Chrome, I hate you infinitely. They decided to make another update to the new hideous design, making it even worse and removing the option for the superior previous design. Ughhh and because it's so new, I have to wait until people (hopefully) post workarounds... >.< sigh.

        I don't pay attention to aesthetic details. My brain doesn't mark them as important.

        I sadly do, it happens without thinking about it. It's also one of the reasons why I'm still on Android 4.4.4 while my phone even officially supports much newer versions; I can't stand the new aesthetics.

        I'd say that you're lucky to be able to ignore these aesthetic details. :)

      That is odd... I was just vaulting some stuff and out of nowhere my minecraft just closed... I'm using MultiMC, which always shows a log thingy when it crashes, but I didn't get that either... Weird.

        I started using MultiMC when the regular launcher kept logging out my accounts after a couple of days. MultiMC fixed the problem. Not long after the standard launcher was changed again (for the worse), so it was nice to already have moved on. :P MultiMC also allows for mods to be installed incredibly easily, which is nice.

        A disadvantage is that the world and screenshots folders are separate, but that can be fixed relatively easily by linking the folders together with some CMD magic. :D

      Sigh. >.< That moment when you want to see a livestream, but because of DST it's an hour earlier than usual, and for some reason gmail recently decided to put twitch's mails in "updates", a folder they don't deem necessary of sending you notifications for. Missed 40 minutes. >.<
    15. TomvanWijnen
      In 47 minutes EMC time will only be 5 hours in the past for me instead of 6 hours... :P I like daylight saving time (summertime and wintertime). :) When I lose an hour, it's less fun though - still fun and interesting, but I miss my hour. :P Now though, a free extra hour. :D

        I guess you're right, Tom. I used to be against DST just because of having to change the clocks and such, but I do actually like it being dark earlier in Winter and light later in Summer.

        @Soul: that sounds broken. Seems like you actually need more or different DST. ;)
        @607: yup, that is what I think many people aren't realising; how ridiculous the sun's rising/setting time is when we don't have DST. Thinking about it, I'm kind of surprised they only thought of it in the 1900s, seeing how big of an improvement it has on being able to live in the light.

        Humid Subtropical Cfa is the Koppen climate I live in, but it doesn't feel like that. Our record high in August is 42 degrees and record low in February is -26 degrees... So pretty extreme climate I live in.
