stupid question but are you able to use less insulation for a basement vs other floors?

I have no idea, honestly. I'd think you'd want to use just as much (ie. one sheet per panel between studs).

Basement progress update:

Please post more pics as you go, I need inspiration to get started on my house.

I hate this year. It's nothing but study study study tests tests tests

I have no life anymore. It's really depressing. I don't have time to hang with friends or go out and do stuff.

I just finished a final and now I gotta start studying for the professional responsibility exam in 2 weeks.

I can't wait until March 2011. After the bar I'm going travel the world for 2 months and get a real life again!

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #2283 on:** July 22, 2010, 01:48:48 AM »

Yeah, lawyers have such a fun-filled existence. It's gonna be GREAT!

Bebpo · « **Reply #2284 on:** July 22, 2010, 02:00:28 AM »

Real work is fun

I like actually doing thangs

study, memorizing, test taking is one of my least favorite activities in life along with clothes shopping. It just feels like a waste of life. Astrolad on gaf says he wants to move out of NY but he doesn't want to retake the bar in another state because it'll just waste 6 weeks of his life entirely.

I'm a feeling a little better now. Law School tests depress me half the time. Other half of the time I walk out feeling badass. Just depends on if I'm shooting in the dark for 3 hours straight typing up 23,000 words like tonight or if I know exactly what I'm doing and writing the best essays ever written.

Also writing a $20,241 check today for the fall semester and finding out I was $30 short didn't exactly help ;_; Law school is such a ripopff.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #2285 on:** July 22, 2010, 02:20:36 AM »

Agreed on the test-taking, but I guess it's a YMMV situation regarding actual work. Glad you've got something to look forward to though.

My 31 year old niece died yesterday, reading the reactions on her social networking profile is killing me.

Best wishes and sincere condolences to your family.

I hope this isn't too sensitive a time to ask such a question but is the niece's age a typo? I didn't think anyone here is old enough to have a 31 niece.

Reb · « **Reply #2287 on:** July 22, 2010, 02:55:45 AM »

Maybe it's a cousin? That always trips me up, we use the same word for both in Holland.
It's my aunt's daughter.

I will be carrying the casket, don't know how I feel about that.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #2288 on:** July 22, 2010, 03:05:04 AM »

Thanks for clearing up the confusion. Niece usually means daughter of a sibling here.

Would you be overwhelmed emotionally if you carry the casket? Too much grief can be very detrimental to your health.

Reb · « **Reply #2289 on:** July 22, 2010, 03:09:45 AM »

I'm generally OK as long as I don't have to verbalize anything regarding the situation.

I just had a nap and dreamt that a 1000 yen note was covering my mouth and I couldn't breathe.
Then I woke up and discovered I only have 300 yen.

Robo · « **Reply #2301 on:** July 22, 2010, 10:31:58 PM »

That was my exact thought when I first saw the "Coming Soon" sign that's currently hanging, but most of the small shops in this area have remained open through the recession and they almost all sell antique furniture, art, or other fairly expensive luxury items. They either scrape by on the high foot traffic that passes through these couple blocks, are the projects of bored and wealthy trophy wives or the city supports them somehow. My guess is the latter.

If you're gonna open a small business with minimal staff, this is not bad place to do it.

My mouse wheel just stopped working.

First time in 10+ years of using this mouse that I've suddenly been left without a wheel. Computer is now unusable. I better go shopping tomorrow.

Never realized how dependent I was on that wheel.

again that is some how from that flower picture

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #2306 on:** July 23, 2010, 01:11:27 PM »

I think I mostly like the new one because the curve in it is caused by a fucked up array offsetting.
edit: different colouring

The upper part I think is the actual image I want but it's being overwritten a few times to fit in the tiny space and so comes out as nothing at all. The lower part is something that is in memory after my array. What ever it is, it is very symmetrical.

"When first the flush of a newborn sun fell on Eden's green and gold,
Our father Adam, sat under the Tree, and scratched, with a stick, in the mould.
The first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,
'Til the Devil whispered behind the leaves… 'It's pretty, but is it art?'"

The images I'm working with are only 400*400. Otherwise it takes to long too run my program on them.

can you run your program on an image of my penis?? maybe it will come out looking like a flower!

Looking closer to the flower image! My problem is defiantly colour space related.

Ya but they probably get made fun of. But if you claim to be an artist you're immune to that shit, at least that's how my idealist artistic world, which I -- as an artist -- would belong to, would work.

nearly have it working!!!

brob · « **Reply #2321 on:** July 23, 2010, 03:41:34 PM »

the glory of being an artist is that any reaction that you generate in people you can take credit for. people mocking you for being socially inept? performance art.

There are people that are hugely into pixel art (which this could be considered?) or digital art. I can definitely see those being showcased in a gallery. There's something romantic or poetic about beautiful mistakes too, creating stuff like this.
