yeah... it would be a bitch to dial 911 on my iphone.....
Slide to unlock
Phone (wait for it to open)
Takes me to my contacts page so i have to push the keypad button
now dial 911
push talk
and if you're in some sort of catastrophe and your screen is busted.... forget about it.
You can write an app to automatically call 911 when your screen is busted and sell it in the Apps Store for $0.99.Originally Posted by itadakimasu

you should write an app that recognizes an S.O.S Morse code. and then calls the emergency service.

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Holy crap.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
that's just wrong.
I mean, sure, the bottom ones look more logical.
but they make butterfree so mean, and I always used it as a gentle psychic blaster.
my mind is broken, and it can't be repaired. thank you, really, for destroying my life.

That's very likely the reason for the switch.
I imagine the sprites were switched very early in the production of the game, even as early as the concept art stages. It could be that the art director saw the designs for Metapod's evolution and decided to switch it for Venonat's evolution because they wanted a "nice" looking Pokemon to catch or evolve early in the game. Either that or it was a completely mistaken switch and they just didn't bother fixing it.

Today I learned that I suck at mini-golf.
I played an 18-hole game with my friends today, and the aggregate number of hits was:
49, 52, 47, 49, 96 <- yes, that last one was me. I shouted food n drinks afterwards.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
My prof was teaching about hydrogels today, and directed us to look up the hagfish on youtube, the only creature that produces a natural hydrogel. I was amazed!

Moral: don't screw up in Japan. (or be suspicious of doing so).

23 days? Lol that's pretty insane.
Doesn't that mean they can just grab anyone of the street and just hold them for 23 days? o_O
Alternatively, messing with a foreigner has stiff penalties for a local. The Japanese don't want to discourage tourism or to give foreigners the impression the country is uncivil and unrefined.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Vinyl vs CD: What's the difference
The key to this question is the difference between a digital and an
analog recording. Natural sound is by definition analog.
When a CD recording is created, this analog is sound is digitized. To
do this, they take a lot of snapshots of the analog sound. For a CD
recording they take 44,100 snapshots in a minute. These snapshots are
then converted to digital information with a certain precision. For a
CD recording this precision is 16 bits which means that every one of
the 44,100 snapshots needs to be converted into one of the 65,536
(2^16) possible values.
You can probably see where I am going: by definition a digital
recording doesn't include all the sound information. You could
visualize a CD recording as a really large chest with a lot of
drawers. Because the number of snapshots that are taken are not
infinite (the maximum is 44,100 per minute), the process of taking
snapshots results in the loss of information. Information is further
lost because each of these snapshots must be made to fit in one of the
65,536 drawers of the chest.
A record player which plays LP?s is strictly analog. A vinyl record
has a groove carved into it that mirrors the original sound's
waveform. The record player than transforms this groove to an analogue
sound signal which can be fed into an amplifier.
In this process, no information can be lost. No snapshots need to be
taken and the sound doesn't need be converted to one of the possible
65,536 values. There basically is an infinite number of 'snapshots'
and 'possible values'. Therefore vinyl recording sound richer than CD
recordings (as long as you have a decent vinyl record player).
Be aware that recent DVD Audio players and Super Audio CD players come
closer to vinyl recordings as they have a much larger number of
possible snapshots in one minute (up to 192,000) and because these
snapshots can be converted to a larger number of possible values (up
to 16,777,216 possible values, or 24 bit).

Don't take that to heart too easily, Bill. Lots of professionals judge the LP records can't reliably even reproduce that 16-bit dynamic range. That is, if the sound played is analyzed, you can't separate a full 16-bit dynamic range worth of sound levels. So, in that sense nothing at all is lost when it's turned into a CD. Although it has been a while and I can't remember how deep a range an LP approximately produces.
But there are other reasons why they sound different, though. Like a vinyl record not sounding exactly the same during replayes due to being analog, making it sound more realistic.
Analog also suffers what digital does not, which is degradation over time. Since analog isn't captured in finite data sets, it can't be perfectly copied and preserved into another analog state the way digital can into another digital state.

Decided to try something uncharacteristically me recently. I had a falling out with a friend a few months back and decided to try sending an apology to her. Even though I was (and still is) pretty adamant that she was overreacting and took things out of line, I figured "eh, what do I have to lose?" Wow, you'd be surprised how big of a deal that can be to some people. It almost seems like she's more interested in hanging out now than since before the conflict in the first place!
I tend to let my pride get the best of me, but some fights just aren't really worth it, regardless of whether you're in the right or wrong.

Girls tend to forgive but not forget.

I personally believe that pride is worth more than any friendship has to offer, as long as it is grounded in right. A relationship that costs one his/her righteous pride is worthless/pointless in my opinion.
Peace.
In a dispute where both parties think they are right, both parties may feel their pride is at stake.This is how friendships end for the most arbitrary (read: dumb) reasons.
Anyway like I said, I didn't really feel I had anything to lose. Worst case scenario, she ignores it. Even then, I never really was that close to her in the first place. I got the idea to try it out after reading this: http://trueslant.com/daviddisalvo/20...knowing-about/
Makes sense, I always believe that half of who we are is how we are projected onto other people.

Pride will never fill an empty stomach. Friends may.
I completely agree. Unfortunately both of my own attempts to reconnect with old friends weren't quite as successful.
Despite my efforts, at the end of the day both of them were moronic and socially inept individuals not worth associating with. I'm not burning bridges, but I have no desire to seek out the pleasure of their company.
Some fights aren't worth it, but some people certainly are.
