OK, first of all, since when is a Sift Roast a charity event? I mean, for fuck's sakes, this guy is so pathetic, making fun of people named Biggus Dickus is more challenging. Besides, I'm fairly certain we'll have exceed the total sum of all his lifetime verbal conversations ("Hi..." "Piss off!" x 237) in this thread by noon tomorrow.

I mean, the hardest thing is to decide where to start.

This man is so utterly lonely he tries to pass himself off as a geek, and fails spectacularly. I mean, how does one fail at GEEK, the one label losers like me and you all around the world use to comfort ourselves that there might be a community somewhere that accepts and appreciates us?
For one, he's boasting how he's at the computer all round the clock as if it's some WoW achievement (if it is, I say it's discriminatory, as it effectively singles out people with no lives). Take a look at his hobbies (#23) - I mean, wow, it takes some serious effort to exclusively come up with ones you only do on a computer. And come on, he added a fucking ® to both Photoshop© and Adobe™ (same exotic symbol twice in a row, loser), because everybody cares about indicating trademarks on the Series Of Tubes. It's serious business!

His 'picture', if one is blasphemous enough of photography by calling it that:
Apart from the fact that he might as well be Jessica Alba (we'll never know, his shaky camera skills are effing l33t), it's additionally cropped to show off pixelation and camera noise, there's a shitload of unnecessary blur and even a fucking lens flare effect for goodness' sakes! And did I mention how hip it is to take photos of yourself in outstretched hands? LONELYPHAIL15, man. By the way, when you say you wouldn't like to be Fart-Man, I urge you reconsider. There's advantages - you'd be more likely to score ladies than you are now, for one. Also, cops/people on the street might mistake you for an entertainer or a mascot every once in a while.

And I don't mean to nit-pick here, but what the hell is this guy doing here anyway? Obviously, he's implying that out of the 33 boring videos he's sifted (I suggest you go downvote all of them so that he doesn't get his hopes up), he's yet to enjoy any of them, as this remains his ultimate goal (#30). He mentions another, "self-entertainment", which is followed by "lol". Congratulations on achieving that second goal on such short notice. Although I do immensely pity karkarlee if you're equally easy to satisfy in other areas.

Finally,
>> ^karkarlee:
^ 32. What made you pick Obsidianfire as a username?
I mean look at it: obsidian fire. Imagine black fire, that's fucking awesome emo.

Here's an image of black fire for you. Since it's obviously the most awesomest thing ever for you, I hope you experience your very first orgasm over it. Then you might actually not feel too guilty while reassuring karkarlee for the hundredth time that you're very experienced in this secksing business.

Other roasters: here's your dessert.

Yeah, "to the hills", Dude! Front row, 82'-H-Town-first year Paul Di'anno left and they got Bruce-always liked Paul better-more sinister voice than that squeaky girl-scream of BD....pussified.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I've had a look at your lists and I understand that there is a distinction between the two ideas - and videos that would fall in one and not the other. However we still feel that the overlap is huge.

(If it was a Venn diagram, only a small crescent in each circle would be non-overlapped)

There is a bit of history here too. We originally called the geek channel "tech" but decided deliberately- about a month in to change it to Geek so it would be be more inclusive.

Afterthoughts:

I still think there is a distinct need of a tech channel. My aim is to have videos that discuss technology - old or new, not just show it. The problem isn't that most of the tech videos are geek, it's that people put them in geek - the geek channel is being misused in my opinion. If you will, please review these two lists I have compiled from the first 6 or 7 pages of the geek sifted list. The first is of videos that I feel don't really belong in the geek channel, but would feel more at home in a tech channel.

This second list is for those which I feel do NOT belong in the tech channel, though people might feel urged to place them there - OR - videos that I feel the geek channel was created for.
While they may showcase technology, they don't discuss/explain it.

I do not wish to to be a stubborn prick about this issue, but it's just something that I feel strongly about. If you still don't want it, that's fine, but I was hoping we could put up another one of those polls you had a week ago. If not, I'll just go with "meme" like everyone wanted in Maatc's ST post.

Current Excel/PivotTable I'm working from, but I am going to put into SQL once I'm done playing in Excel, as Excel isn't powerful enough for true multidimensional analysis:

http://jp.infinitedev.net/CIAWorldFactbook.xls

In particular, take note of the worksheet: "BD Rate" which is a direct correlation of birth and death rates in all of the countries in the survey for which BD rates were available.

Source directly derived from https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
in conjunction with the agents at the CIA's Office of Public Affairs.

(P.s. - if you have a statistic of the U.S.'s Death Rate PRIOR to private insurance/health care, please post it, along with source - that is really the only place you might see a difference, and it's likely that difference would not correlate with insurance/health care, but with birth rates and total population.

Comparing death rates for private/public insurance/health care with a different country is like comparing apples to slate granite - it's in both poor taste, and not an accurate statement that insurance/health care would have ANY correlation whatsoever, from one country to another, with death rates, as death rates are dependent on far too many local variables, like the country's birth rate, population, and area[not to mention things like HIV infection rate, etc].

In other words, we need a baseline for corrected death rate PRIOR to the implementation of private insurance in order to possibly make the correlation between insurance and death rate - my guess is that it wouldn't be more than a 1/1000 difference + or - our current death rate, given our birth rate and our population/density.

Seeing as how the CIA World Factbooks downloadable from the Office of Public Affairs only dates back to 2000, and the implementation of private insurance in the United States dates back to the Nixon Administration, I do not have the death rate/1000 population prior to the implementation of private insurance in the United States.)

It is kinda interesting, all the debris left after the almost straight down impact and explosion. With Flight 93 crash with a much larger aircraft you had no visible debris.

Very nice, lucky!

As an aside, W3 Schools has a Try-it-Editor if you want to play around with CSS. Hey, if it taught me it can work for anyone.

- This message is only of importance to charter members -
Speaking of what can be done with charter profiles, benjee pointed out that the 100 character limit for each style field is a bit limited, so in order to allow you to specify more complete style, a series of "shorthands" can now be used in your styles. When you specify the shorthand text, it will be expanded when your charter profile page is browsed.

Here's the list of available shorthands:
• "bg:" evaluates to "background:"
• "mg:" evaluates to "margin:"
• "pd:" evaluates to "padding:"
• "cl:" evaluates to "color:"
• "fw:" evaluates to "font-weight:"
• "fs" evaluates to "font-size:"
• "ff" evaluates to "font-family:"
• "bd" evaluates to "border:"
• "td" evaluates to "text-decoration:"
• "mg-t:" evaluates to "margin-top:"
• "mg-r:" evaluates to "margin-right:"
• "mg-b:" evaluates to "margin-bottom:"
• "mg-l:" evaluates to "margin-left:"
• "pd-t:" evaluates to "padding-top:"
• "pd-r:" evaluates to "padding-right:"
• "pd-b:" evaluates to "padding-bottom:"
• "pd-l:" evaluates to "padding-left:"
• "bd-t:" evaluates to "border-top:"
• "bd-r:" evaluates to "border-right:"
• "bd-b:" evaluates to "border-bottom:"
• "bd-l:" evaluates to "border-left:"

This should help you create fancy styles similar to mlx's and benjee's.

thanks, bd!! i learned something new today!!
