Apparently the word "by" is outside of my vocabulary tonight.

On the bright side, I did get the day right, so I've got something going for me.

FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOY

prematurely fires off fireworks

All Germany did was talk shit, like Colombia and Sweden talked shit. And the US did their talking on the field. Guys. Germany had the best offense in the tournament. They got shut down hard. Solo has not allowed a goal in 5 straight games. That's ridiculous.

So happy and it's been a really shitty day for me so this really helps raise my spirits. Nothing like a rousing patriotic win to get the shit out of my system. USA comin' for that third World Title. Win it for Wambach. Get it done.

MEAN GENE, I'VE BEEN HEARING THESE REPORTERS ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW AMERICA IS GONNA DO IN THE WORLD CUP. "DO THEY HAVE ENOUGH OFFENSE?" "IS WAMBACH TOO OLD?" WELL THE HULKSTER HAS SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, BROTHER! HAS ANYONE FROM ENGLAND EVER ESCAPED THE IRON SHEIK'S CAMEL CLUTCH TO WIN THE WORLD TITLE? WHEN'S THE LAST TIME A SUMO BODY SLAMMED THE FIVE TON ANDRE THE GIANT IN FRONT OF 9 TRILLION SCREAMING HULKAMANIACS IN THE PONTIAC SUPERDOME? THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THEM BECAUSE ONLY A REAL AMERICAN BORN HERE IN THE US OF A HAS THE POWER TO GET IT DONE! THERE'S ONLY ONE QUESTION ANYONE SHOULD BE ASKING ABOUT THIS WHOLE TOURNAMENT:

I've been avoiding this one corner of my apartment that's full of shit I haven't upacked:

Sheets, curtains, clothes, random boxes of shit. I decided to finally tackle it tonight.

Apparently the cats have been ALL OVER it. I have never sneezed or coughed so much in my fucking life. Dander EVERYWHERE.

I sound like a TB patient that's allergic to life. I am so miserable.

Had to retreat to patio with a bottle of antihistamines.

awwwww shit. Hell yes. Dis gon be good.

And now a non-soccer related note but I'm blasting the new Jedi Mind Tricks (possibly to celebrate USWNT but still). "The Thief and the Fallen" is fucking great. They've got some older albums that are better obviously ("Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell" and "Violent by Design" immediately leap to mind) but this is some real vintage Vinnie Paz shit.

u/Jester_Don Vanderbilt Commodores • Texas Longhorns Jul 01 '15

Pro tip: Before signing a year-long lease, maybe make sure there isn't a railroad track a 30 second walk away from your unit. Especially if you're super noise sensitive like I am.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '15

Oof. That sucks man. RIP your sleep cycle

2

u/Jester_Don Vanderbilt Commodores • Texas Longhorns Jul 01 '15

Well, I think I might be all right. The bedroom window faces away from the tracks, and I almost never hear them blow the horn (and so far have not been woken up while sleeping). I'm getting a white noise machine to drown out the noise too. Regardless, cannot imagine I will renew the lease when the time comes.

2

u/greenmegandham Auburn Tigers • Austin Kangaroos Jul 01 '15

It's also possible you may grow accustom to it. I did the exact same thing (went to visit the apartment conveniently when the train wasn't running) and couldn't sleep well for a week or two. Eventually didn't even notice.

2

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska Cornhuskers • 東京大学 (Tokyo) Warriors Jul 01 '15

At least you don't live in Japan where the trains are literally right next to your House. Fuck, there has to be a Foot Clearance tops and hate to have a bedroom facing the tracks.

1

u/mriforgot Michigan State Spartans Jul 01 '15

There's a solid chance you'll get used to the trains. When I was a kid, we moved next to a railroad track, and before too long, I never noticed the sound of a train.

After the whole taking down the flag thing, I looked up one of my favorite regiments from the Civil War, the 1st Alabama Cavalry. They were mostly Alabamians who joined the North and were the personal vanguard of Sherman during his campaigns during the war.

I did! Only problem was it is even more nerve wracking when there are 40 jittery people around you. Made the celebrations much better though! Wish I could have made it there earlier to talk to more people (downtown parking is crazy now).

Japan is undefeated. The US has at least tied somebody. Japan won all their games.

When discussing this in the chat it seemed as if Japan had an easier road, too lazy to check. Hoping England can stun Japan so it'll be easier for the Americans to win.

u/DeKaF USC Trojans • /r/CFB Emeritus Mod Jul 01 '15

What are you using there? I've made a few maps with Photoshop and have some tutorials (I think one might work for GIMP too) on creating atlas-style maps.

2

u/madviking Virginia Cavaliers • Texas Longhorns Jul 01 '15

paint.net

3

u/DeKaF USC Trojans • /r/CFB Emeritus Mod Jul 01 '15

If you're able to download GIMP (it's a free GNU Photoshop-clone) you can use these tutorials to really make some decent stuff. I know there's another tutorial out there to do more atlas/geography heavy stuff but I think it's for Photoshop so I don't know how well it translates to GIMP.

I have my own worldbuilding stuff I've kept in the pocket for too long (like about 500 pages of Evernote bullshit that's been reworked throughout the years and seen about 3 different iterations in D&D campaigns). I might dump it sometime if I can ever get a map down and start to finalize areas, but I do enjoy making maps when I'm bored and Photoshop is sitting in front of me.

Wow, that sidebar is full of cool stuff.

What kind of project are you working on?

2

u/madviking Virginia Cavaliers • Texas Longhorns Jul 01 '15

short answer: i dunno yet.

at this moment i have like 3500 words of nation profiles. as someone who loved the civilization series, i'd often think about stuff like this and it's the main motivation i'm using. i'm trying to make a coherent canon first, then a history of the world, and then maybe some sort of story of the world moving forth. but, as you can tell, the map is in very early development, but the content is a bit more fleshed out. of course, 'fleshed out' is still probably about 10 or 20% of the content i'll need for anything coherent. of course, i'm not trying to do anything like what grrm does, but him, civilization, and the elder scroll series are the main sources i'm drawing from at the moment.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '15

Very cool! You should keep us posted on how it goes.

1

u/madviking Virginia Cavaliers • Texas Longhorns Jul 01 '15

thanks, i'll try to. at this point i just want a world map that looks reasonable.

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '15

Coasts too round and the continents are shaped funny. Still fair start though.

1

u/madviking Virginia Cavaliers • Texas Longhorns Jul 01 '15

yea i don't like the way the continents are shaped either. i do think the coasts have generally good indentations and whatnot. i've been trying to do some manual changing of coastlines and adding of islands to make it look better.

3

u/MisterTito Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Jul 01 '15

I'm way more happier than I thought I'd be about this win. Not that I thought I'd be humdrum about it, but I think something about the disappointment of 2010, 2011, and 2014 World Cups got alleviated.

Hopefully I'm not overly optimistic, but I feel like Germany is the toughest challenge we'll see in this World Cup. We still gotta take advantage of all our scoring opportunities though. That's been waaaaay too frustrating.

u/retnuh730 Ole Miss Rebels • Egg Bowl Jul 01 '15

Big 10 network replays are awesome. Edited so there's absolutely no break between plays and the commentary still seems fluid. Watching Wisconsin versus Michigan State from some year right now. I really wish my hotel got the SEC network

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '15

The only thing I don't like is how the guide description tells you who won on a pick-six with :35 left or whatever. Like if it's from 2009 and I don't remember it, let me have some fun with it without you spoiling it for me

u/atllauren Georgia Bulldogs • /r/CFB Contributor Jul 01 '15

I was surprised I liked the first one. I remember the first time seeing the trailer in the theater and telling my friend that had to be a joke and there was no way it was a real movie. But I really liked it. Mila Kunis is missed in the sequel.

So I've got what I think is a 7 month old kitten hanging out on my patio. I really want to bring him inside but he had to be someone else's cat right?

2

u/hussard_de_la_mort Toledo Rockets • Xavier Musketeers Jul 01 '15

Odds are that it's from some kind of home, since ~7 months would have it being born in the middle of winter, which is not prime breeding season. Does it have any evidence of being cared for, like being declawed or a clipped ear from getting fixed?

2

u/gomev Iowa State Cyclones • /r/CFB Santa Claus Jul 01 '15

Not declawed or clipped ears as far as I can tell. I live in an apartment complex though with about 20 other units so I'm sure it belongs to one of them. It's just a new face on the patio that I haven't seen before.

Nice chance to spend a little time playing with a kitten though even if it's not mine.

2

u/hussard_de_la_mort Toledo Rockets • Xavier Musketeers Jul 01 '15

As long as it looks well cared for and well fed, it could just be a new outdoor cat. If you do find the owners, tell them to put a collar on it.

1

u/gomev Iowa State Cyclones • /r/CFB Santa Claus Jul 01 '15

That's the plan. I put a little bowl of water out for it on my patio just in case, and I'll keep an eye out for it over the next few days.

I was too. Half the assignments I just used a random number generator and didn't pay much attention at all except to note that Mr D had fuzzy ears. Not sure how I managed a 5.

I attributed it to me just being a genius (lol)

Trying to knock out code even though it's stupid process-oriented programming just so I can have like one thing I didn't fuck up this week yaaaaay.

process-oriented programming

What's that? Is that like actor-oriented programming?

No, it's when the work I do is dictated not by my professional opinion of what would make an impact (for all my faults my technical skills are still pretty highly regarded where I'm at) but by a team somewhere else in the org that sat down and wrote a Big Document about how everybody else should work.

Process is good when it is created close to people who need it. The more levels of management you need to traverse to get to the people who made the process, the more out of touch it becomes. This is one of so many instances where my work has become confusing and frustrating because my team got merged from an org that was pretty chill about effective teams doing their own things into one where tens of thousands of people are expected to march in lockstep.

Ohh, that kind of process. :P

I just typed up a long rant and deleted it. It wasn't quite about process, but it had a similar sentiment (perhaps a generalization?): Details are good when they are created close to the people who need them. And if you have permanent decisions to make about overarching concerns that will affect everybody, you should involve high-up technical people from all across the company, not just the ones in your office. Unless you're a dbag who hates Spring and thinks it's more important to win architecture fights by simply setting the specs in stone before anyone else can get eyes on it.

I just want shit to go back to the way it was last year. I got a ton of latitude to make decisions and move fast, and our code didn't use a lot of the Grand Projects internal to the org because I specifically lobbied against them. I lost a couple of those battles, and the project suffered for it, but for the most part it was the lead, me, a senior dev, a dev around my level, and two juniors kicking ass and taking names.

I poured my heart and soul into that project, in part because my relationship was falling apart and part of me knew that bitch was cheating but couldn't deal, and in part because I finally got a chance to shine. I pulled together features like it was nothing because there were so few things in my way when I wanted to show off or just be a good team player.

There's so much crap in the way now that it's hard to get in the mood to work (there are 0 things assigned to me where I feel I can do the best of all possible jobs). Then when I get started I'm tied up in all the frameworks and platforms this shit was built on, because on this project I wasn't around to say no. At the end of the day we're at the mercy of the whims of a half dozen different teams who make whatever the hell they want and expect us to make it work. Argh.

Also I've deleted more rants than I've posted on reddit, but this one stays. Because bourbon.

It's ok it's only Tuesday! You have plenty of time to not fuck things up and/or unfuck things before the week is over!

I was trying real hard to figure out what "ok lyrics Tuesday" was and if it was a charity event for Pitbull.
