[Hivemind] Running around like headless chickens

[Ashwyn]

Yes, gruesome things happen to me when I've gone without sleep for 20+ hours and then try to get up after 2 hours or less. I'll spare the details, but it's definitely in the category of 'actually hurts.'

I figure that if I can suffer through tonight I can be much happier tomorrow. We'll see if my willpower fails me or not.

Avoid caffeine and sugar. It's tempting to get that boost of energy, but when you crash, it's not pretty.

splen·dif·er·ous
adj.
Splendid: “The working genius of American design has been... a refining of utilitarian purity into a kind of splendiferous native simplicity” (Jay Cocks).

Why would someone create a word like this? It's five letters longer than 'splendid,' and yet, according to the dictionary, just means 'splendid.' You can't even have the excuse of avoid repitition by using synonyms; it sounds almost the same too.

This word needs to be taken outside and shot.

I think someone was just having far too good a day.

Yeah.....I'm pretty thirsty and am definitely staying with water right now.

Water is very helpful when trying to stay awake and sharp.

This board is crazy.

2:30 AM by my time, 5:30 by eastern time, and 8-10 AM by European time, and there are 67 users active right now.

3:30 my time. My PC's clock is messed up too, being about 15 minutes fast. Come to think of it, all the clocks in my house are messed up.

The board's clock seems messed up for me. I have to tell it I live in Alaska to make it display the correct time for me, which is odd, because it was working for the first couple days when I had it set correctly.

I'm sure they'll get it sorted out soon.

Wow.

I've seen ads for companies, I've seen ads for the army, I've even seen ads for the government, but I don't think I've ever seen a full two-page spread ad for a CITY. To be specific, the city of Dubai, which I've never heard of, which is advertising its falling unemployment rates and it rising per capita income. That's so weird.
