Welcome To Random BanterWe hope you enjoy your stay.

This thread does exactly what it says on the tin. Only it's not in a tin. RB is a place to talk about... anything you feel like. Anything (As the title suggests) random, that you don't feel is significant enough to merit it's own thread. Though some topics seem to come up more frequently than others (e.g. Maths and Shakespeare)

New people should not be scared, we're all very nice really. Well, except for that guy over there, but never mind him. Feel free to jump in. I did, and see, now I have the transient and entirely worthless pleasure of making the new thread myself.

I'm afraid there are a few rules, put in place to keep these threads from getting out of hand.

Rules

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

And here, linked for your convenience, are the previous incarnations of this thread.

As stated above, this thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. That is to say, this is a forum, not your IM client. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat.

Now... converse. It will amuse me.

This golem has a humanoid body made from Rainbowflesh.

A Rainbowflesh golem is 9 feet tall and weighs around 700 pounds. They do not generally vary in appearance, and are approximately human shaped, their bodies composed of large pieces of rainbowflesh. The main differences between them is the colors of their main sections.

Combat
Rainbowflesh golems are powerful and unpredictable opponents, being physically powerful and difficult to harm.
Rainbow Strike (Su): On each hit, a rainbowflesh golem generates a random effect:
1 Red: 5 fire damage (10 for greater)
2 Orange : 10 acid damage (15 for greater)
3 Yellow: 15 electricity damage (30 for greater)
4 Green: Poison, 1d4 constitution damage Fortitude save DC 17 for half (1d6 and DC 19 for greater)
5 Purple: Planar Distortion, Stun 1 round (1d4 rounds for greater)

Rainbow Beam (Su): A Rainbowflesh golem can use a prismatic ray effect, as the spell, except that the blue effect is replaced with the purple effect of Prismatic Spray, and there is no indigo effect, as a free action once every 2 rounds. The effect has a DC 17 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Retributive Rainbow (Su): When a rainbowflesh golem is destroyed, it causes an explosion of magical colors, as the spell prismatic Spray without the blue and indigo effects, but in every direction. The save DC is 19, and is constitution based.

Rainbow Aura (Su): A greater rainbowflesh golem projects an aura of color around it out to a distance of 10 feet. Each round the aura has one of the effects of the spell prismatic spray, except for the blue or indigo effects. This should be determined randomly each round.

Immunity to Magic (Ex): A Rainbowflesh golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance, except for (shadow) spells In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.
Rainbow pattern, Prismatic Ray, Prismatic Spray, and all similar spells heal a rainbowflesh golem for 1 hp for every 3 damage that would be dealt by the spell, or 3 HP per spell level, whichever is greater.

Construction
A Rainbowflesh golem’s body is constructed out of large pieces of rainbowflesh, connected by tubes of liquid rainbowflesh and pins of hard candy shell. The Rainbowflesh must be of high quality, and costs 1,000 gp. Assembling the body requires a DC 17 Craft (architecture) check or a DC 17 Craft (Rainbowfleshmasonry) check.
CL 14th; Craft Construct, antimagic field, geas/quest, prismatic spray, symbol of stunning, caster must be at least 14th level; Price 90,000 gp; Cost 46,000 gp + 2,600 XP.

Ooh, a rainbowflesh golem! I'm always looking for more prismatic weapons to add to my arsenal, in the event of another clone invasion.

Alright, let's get back into the swing of Random Banter, shall we?

We shall.

I'll start this off with a little reflection.

Pretzels are good. Potato chips--also good.

However, when pretzels and potato chips are mixed together--like in a party snack mix, for example--neither is palatable.

The chips, for their part, take on much of coarse salt of the potato chips. This doesn't improve the failure, but neither does it sink it completely.

No, it is the pretzels that fall from grace. They become soggy, taking on the grease of the chips. The fine salt of the potato chips dusts over the pretzels. The result is highly unpleasant.

So. Yeah.

Pretzels+Fritos=Can Work, Sometimes. I don't know why, but the effects aren't as bad as with regular potato chips. The pretzels will suffer for it, but it's not a recipe worthy of the Gastronomicon.

I don't like mixing pretzels with anything at all, really. Except strawberry ice cream.

Concert tonight. I haven't even seen one of the pieces we're playing yet. Fortunately, I'm just playing bassoon to give more depth to our school's wind ensemble, so they shouldn't be too tough to sight read.

Can't wait for the next jazz practise, though. We've got a cool piece called Chameleon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy0qsrny58I&feature=related), and this arrangement is honestly better than Herbie Hancock's. Hopefully we'll be able to put as much life into it as he did his arrangement, though. :smallconfused: I've got the guitar part that's the third/fourth (don't know which part I'll do yet) part to come into the song.

I just pick songs depending on what I want to listen to (often I'll decide to listen to a song by Dido or the Beatles, for instance, before deciding to listen to another one of their songs or I may play something by a completely different artist (at the minute I'm going from Home by 3 Days Grace to Mirror Man by the Human League, for instance). I tend to find ear phones to be uncomfortable anyway, so MP3 players aren't that practical for me. What is your project about, DD?

It still seems like it would be very distracting and focus-breaking to have to go to youtube to change the song every time one ends.

Which is why I normally use Shuffle. Ah, good ol' iTunes (Easier than stealing. Almost as cheap.).

I mainly use Youtube just to listen to music at work, music that I can choose, because my mp3 player never leaves my gym bag anymore because it sucks more to be at the gym without music then to be at work without music.

Other times, I use Accuradio.com

Fast zombies. Ya'know.
Didn't help that last night I had a nightmare about a version of Dead Rising with fast zombies.
...I'm a little terrified.

It's amazing, ain't it? Not only the awesome filming, the great characters, the good storyline and premise, surprisingly good acting for what's basically a horror-film, etc., but the sheer fact that "Jim" was played by the same actor who played Patrick/Kitty. THAT's amazing.

Most zombie films are mindless, using them for scares and as an excuse for people to go crazy.
Every character there felt real, felt believable. The film focused on the effect of it all on them, instead of the depressing bloodbath that makes up half the plots of other films.

Last.fm still works though--doesn't it have a similar concept? I don't use it myself, I just get to listen to it.

When I was watching 28 Days Later, I wondered about the dosage of the pills. The woman had a strong urge to survive--she'd just take enough sedatives to dull the inevitable and to avoid the temptation of rage--to not squander the one chance to escape by spending it at the outrage. What about the girl, with her future suddenly rewritten, to be raped and bred until she died? Was the woman considering if it would be a greater mercy to overdose the child?

You'd think so... But now I'm stuck on the first one... I've tried a load of values and I can't seem to find any trick to it...

Evidentally I'm supposed to use one of the theories we've done in lectures, but I can't remember that stuff. Mostly I come to lectures too tired and hungry to pay much attention to anything anyhow.

Well at least I've had something to eat now. Chicken and chips. I wish I had some salt... Chips just don't taste the same without salt. Maybe a little vinegar here and there...

Jack Squat

All of it. My teeth are fine. Never had a cavity or anything. I brush as well as I can and floss when I feel the need. There's pretty much no reason for me to go to the dentist.
All they do is tell me "good job" and now it's even more pointless because they don't need to give me flouride anymore. Blech.

Last time I went to the dentist, I was told to keep doing what I was doing, that I was the "model for healthy teeth" (sans plaque stains that I can't get rid of).

Up to that day, I had forgotten to brush my teeth for somewhere between 2 weeks and a month. Go figure.

Sneak

2009-02-25, 11:35 PM

My dentist always used to seem disappointed and tell me to brush more, but last year she told me I was doing a great job.

Odd, especially since that was the one year that I usually only brushed my teeth once a day, and didn't do it at all some days.

Dental cleanliness is inversely proportional to how much you brush?

Coidzor

2009-02-25, 11:48 PM

I seem to be the best about brushing in my family... so take that as you will. :smallannoyed: So the dentists have always complimented me on that.

Except my aunt is also a dentist. I still have nightmares of her ripping out my teeth with some kind of implement that I can't even look at because I'm 6 years old again with a horribly infected, decaying tooth that's rooted in deep and diseased and will kill me but it hurts so bad to have it ripped out of my head and argh.... *shudder* Nightmares are bad.

She really did pull one of my teeth as a kid. I had an extra incisor in my top row of teeth and it got chipped and got a bacterial infection so it had to go.

As a result, I now have nightmares about my aunt as well as nightmares where all of my teeth shatter in a very cartoonish manner.

All so I have to brush my teeth before I can sleep at night in order to ward off the nightmares and the imagined feeling of being able to feel my teeth rot away in my mouth.

So I'd say the worst part was the guilt, or when the dental hygenist decides to slip and scrape/puncture your gums.

Alleine

2009-02-25, 11:48 PM

Agh! Dentists are frustrating. I'm glad other people think the same way I do.
To me the dentist is about as useful as the doctors, only I have to go to the dentist for some reason. The only times I go to the doctor's office is if something is drastically and obviously wrong.

EDIT: Super worst part is when they STAB YOU IN THE GUMS WITH A SHARPENED METAL IMPLEMENT. Then they say you should floss more so that your gums won't bleed. I'm wondering how flossing will make my gums resist being stabbed. In a trial of flesh vs steel, steel wins. Flossing or no.
*grumbles*

Rutskarn

2009-02-26, 12:28 AM

No, see, the worst part is the damn whizzing toothbrush.

1.) Get a whizzing instrument.

2.) Attach on the end of it a caked, vile substance like plaster from Satan's crappy first apartment. Make it as chalky, unpleasant, and foul-tasting as science allows.

3.) Proceed to apply it to the teeth of the subject until the gunk is an inch deep. Since they're leaning backwards, it'll pool up with their saliva. Oh, and tell them not to swallow. It's hilarious watching their look of torment.

4.) Instead of letting them get it out of their teeth the quick, natural, and sensible way (spitting), use a few expensive, complicated, and slow tools to rinse, then dry, the teeth.

Still can't work out to what the hell the series ∑n2xn converges (from n=0 to infinity). Assuming |x|<1...

The ratio between terms is (n+1)2x/n2 = x + 2x/n + 1/n2 but it isn't a simple geometric series so how am I supposed to calculate it?

I mean if it were just normal then you'd have x / (1 - (n+1)2x/n2) but you can't really take the limit of that since each n depends on the term of the series.
I think it converges to x, as you take the limit of the ratio as n approaches infinity. By factoring out an x and taking the derivative of each term in the ratio twice, you get 2/2 which equals one and since the limit as n approaches infinity of 1 is 1, the answer is x.

2009-02-26, 08:30 AM

No it ain't.

Counter example: anything.

0.5 + 4*(0.5^2) + more positive terms =/= 0.5

The ratio between terms converges to x, but that isn't what I'm trying to find.

Oh well. I've gota' hand it in now anyhow, finished or not.

Sorry about your math woes there, P_Z. :smallfrown: All I can think about when I see squares is parabolas which isn't very useful and I don't think applicable.

I know it's n, but I can't (and frankly never have been able to) offer the proof.

For any given value of n, n squared would be. . .well, n squared.
For any given value of n, with the absolute value of x being less than one, would be a very tiny number influenced by n.

The very tiny number influenced by n would be what you get when you divide one by n.

N squared times this very tiny number would be enough to cancel out one n, leaving n.

What I would not give for a caret key at this moment. . .

Plugging in a few numbers to make sure I'm on the right track:

n = 1
1 squared = 1. X to the power of 1 = x. ...X. This may be a problem. Set it aside for now.
. . .of course I could READ that it's a lesser than symbol, not a lesser-or-equal symbol. Scratch.

n = 0
Multiply by 0, get 0.

n = 3, plug in some values of X:
X = 0.99
3 squared = 9. X to the power of 3 = .970more. ... 8.732more.
X = 0.5
3 squared = 9. X to the power of 3 = 0.125. ... 1.125
X = 0.1
3 squared = 9. X to the power of 3 = 0.001. ... 0.009

X = -.99
3 squared = 9. X to the power of 3 = -.970more ... -8.732more

. . .

Er. . .

I think it's converging to zero.

[EDIT: And this is why I plug in numbers before writing down my final answer.]

Then your course is clear. Brutal torture.

Also... Converging to n? What're you on? ...I suppose I should specify that this is the series as n -> Infinity. And I did in fact.

Anywho, I can now prove that the integral between -inf. and inf. of e-x2 = pi1/2. This is neat because there is absolutely no elementary way of expressing the integral of e-x2 as anything else than, well, saying 'the integral of e-x2'. (You could use the error function to define it, but that would be exactly the same thing.)

After cursory examination of your syllabus the content of your course is roughly equivalent to the content of the A level maths course with a few elements of the further maths course thrown in and a few elements of the original course thrown out. Though I don't see any mechanics in there which I believe is pretty universal in most Sixth Forms and Colleges here.

Egads, man, I can only guess (dream) what an operatic cast party is like.

The content of our parties seems to vary a fair bit. I've heard things about the ones before I joined the society: games of spin the bottle and the director trying to make out with like, half the cast or something.
Then last year saw breakdancing from one chorus member, accompanied by beatboxing, which then turned into a dance remix of one of the trios from The Mikado, and our stage manager taking the title of society gay chicken champion.
And then this time, there was much dancing, and singing along to whatever music was playing at the time. Interestingly, I was singing the female stuff at pitch, and some of the male stuff up the octave. It was just more comfortable, somehow. I love being a tenor.
The only common themes in these parties are alcohol and singing. Oh, and gossip. We gossip like anything.

The visual you have implied about soggy popcorn antics is very charming.

Wasn't soggy. I just dropped it on the floor, my co-ordination being a bit dubious at this point.

I had a dream/alternate version of history that I actually wrote into a history essay. Then I realised what had happened and had to rewrite four A4 pages worth of essay.
Shippers'll know about the IStLY series, for those who don't know; it's set in and around the tenth century AD on the borders of Byzantium and another empire. There's wars and magic and epic romance and creepy stuff.
So I pretty much fabricated the entire history of Europe up to the Second Crusade based upon the outcome of the wars going on in that series.
Mmmm; three hundred odd years of history.
When I woke up it was the day before it was due in, so Sunday, and I just wrote what I'd created. It was not at all similar in most ways to real history.
I was most miffed.
Especially when I ended up talking of Alarra of Puddings instead of Eleanor of Aquitaine and it hit me, then and there what I'd done.
By the by, if the first crusade really happened in that world the crusaders really wouldn't have made it that far. They kind of got stuck just outside Constantinople and . . . bad things happened.
Then they sailed around.
But the bad things.

Such a vivid dream. And I even had history books on the history that I was referencing when I was writing my essay.

So I have a question for you strange internet people. But first the backstory!

So today in math class, I didn't have my homework because I didn't do it. The teacher didn't check to see if anyone had it, except me. She just came up to me and said "Dan, have you got your homework?" So, I do kind of have a history of being inconsistant when it comes to doing my homework. So my question is, am I justified in being mad at her for singling me out, or is it all right because of my record? My ego dictates that I am right, but I don't think my ego has ever not supported me. Not even when I threw a baby into a trash compacted and set it to "extra crushed."

Now I have to find a clever way out of this.
There are two doors and on each door is a puzzle.

Indeed it is. Although who have known me for a very long time refer to me as Daniel, but I dont like to be called by that name, so I am Dan. I'd say my last name, but it is an unpronouncable Polish monstrosity that has crushed entire empires with how difficult it is to day. At least, English speaking empires. Many people who speak Slavic based languages have no trouble with it.

Weird, Daniel is my name too. Although Fred fits just as well, thinking about it, I could've been Danthedruid instead.
Which sounds better, Danthedruid or Fredthefighter?

Me and The Boy just booked a holiday to Paris for our birthdays. This may well be the most romantic thing I've ever done. I'm stupidly excited. :smallbiggrin:

Is it bad that when I head "The Boy" I instantly thought of Eustace Boyce of Scary Go Round (http://www.scarygoround.com)?

'Cause I did.

Danthedruid, because Dan is the awesomest male name to ever exist. Except maybe Darth Vader.

@Dallas-Dakota: English is a Germanic language, so I guess all the Germanics fall. Including you, Dutch-man.

Is it unnatural that I immediately imagined a superhero after writing out Dutch-man?

Who smites evil-doers with the powers of FLOWERS!

and Rembrandt's skull. Because it guides him.

Edit: Darth The Dude.

I completely agree there. Darth Vader is surpassed by none, unfortunately, I never thought of Darththedruid. Hmmm, it's a bit late now to change my account name, I'm too ingrained into being Fredthefighter that I don't really want to change unless I have to. I've grown accustomed to the axe. :smallbiggrin:

And here I thought that Dutch-man would just get everyone in his way too high to fight...

That too... and his ultimate technique is to either get one to commit suicide during a bad shrooms trip or to call a squadron of fighting prostitutes for support. :smalltongue:

He linked it! Read it. NOW!

For cultural learnings of Great Britain. The UK is EXACTLY as portrayed by John Allison. Or should be.

Oh man, that's fantastic. There needs to be an actual Dutch-ms comic book. Or perhapse even an entire group of superheros that use their respective national stereotypes as superpowers? Brit-man would definitely burn his enemies with scalding hot tea while declaring the act to be "jolly good."

No, what's bad is the fact that now you've shown me that I'll also think of him whenever I use that term. And that by showing me this comic you've just destroyed what little productivity I had until I read through it all. I hope you feel proud of yourself. :smalltongue:
