      The isekai reincarnation lottery is truly a gamble.
      ..of course, we all know that Walky’ll reincarnate into some sort of animate chicken nugget monster. ..or maybe a taco bell burrito, for that sweet sweet armor bonus?

        Willis style reincarnation just involves you reincarnating into yourself with more up to date problems.

        Nah. Both Predator and Great Sage are pure min-max munchkin BS but not truly broken on their own… it’s the combination of the two especially in the body of a slime that is broken IMO.

    Okay, you can’t tell me that for one second when Walky said “y’know, your…superhero…thing” Amber wasn’t briefly worried that he somehow knew about the terabytes of SteveXTonyXBuckyXCaptainPlanet fic she has.

        Assuming two bytes per character (including punctuation and white space) and overestimating the size of formatting information in multiplying that by 4, a petabyte would mean she typed 10^47 characters of slashfic. Assuming she typed at a blazing fast 100 words per minute (with a 5-keystroke word), and that she never slowed to eat, sleep, plan out the story, do homework, go to class, go to the bathroom, or anything else, writing that much fic would have taken Amber a little over 380 nonillion years. (That’s 380 followed by 36 0s.)

        Obviously her petabytes of fanfic include lots of high-resolution fanart as well.

      The website updates automatically at 12:01am per the website’s server time.

      The thing is the website’s server time kind of decays, and it’s at like 12:06 or so at the moment.

        If you want to keep it in sync with real time, use an ntp server. You’ll need administrator access to the server to do that. There are several ntp servers in the net, choose one and teach your server to listen to him.

          I’m pretty sure DoA is hosted and Willis wouldn’t have the admin access to set up ntp properly.
          That said, I’d be kind of concerned about the administration of any hosting service that couldn’t keep their time set up correctly. OTOH, they seem to do okay otherwise.

            Yeah, I’d also expect a hosting service to set up ntp, that’s why I suspected that it’s not done by a hosting service. But I’m not sure if I’m expecting too much here.

              My own experience suggests that unless you’re using a VPS or a private server you’re not going to have access to NTP because like any process it eats some amount of system resources that can be used for things with more demand. Web hosting in particular isn’t usually concerned with 100% accurate time because it’s not commonly [i]that[/i] important in the process of storing and serving up requested pages even on forums (which display post times).

      Unless you’re using an atomic clock [interconnected networks of which are the basis for determining standardized time], there’s typically some degree of noticeable drift to any timepiece. For computers, which aren’t meant to function foremost as timekeeping devices, this can be rather noticeable [ie, more than just a few seconds off each year].

      Hence, when connecting to any site, you have to keep in mind both that the server may be off a bit and that your own local clock may be off a bit. Those two elements can lead to just enough of a disconnect that it upsets any plans you may have had (but in the end, we’re still talking about a few seconds to a handful of minutes at most, unless the drifts in question are unusually extreme and/or the computers in question are significantly [ie, years] behind in having their times manually updated or automatically synced).

      To sum up, the first thing you should always consider is confirming that your local time is set correctly and that automatic syncing is still enabled (the settings for which can be easily found through the Adjust Date/Time screen after right clicking on your computer clock). After that, it’s just a matter of determining what the server time is currently at, since any drift the server has won’t lead to a noticeable difference over a short period of time, meaning you can fairly naturally match up to adjusting for each second of change as it gets added on.

        Or you can just look at your cellphone, which is almost certainly being updated with networked time. And Willis already confirmed that his server is off by at least 5 minutes.

          He knows about the grade thing. Also, it could get him in big trouble, but I have my doubts he’d get expelled.

          A. It’d mean the school would have to acknowledge a major fuckup on their part that, unlike with something like plagiarism in school papers, isn’t likely to come back to bite them. It’d be a real bad look for the school.
          B. Linda’s connection to the Dean means strings would likely be pulled, getting Walky a slap on the wrist at best.

          It’s not likely to get discovered, anyway. Only person who gave a shit about Walky’s grades on faculty is slinging suds at Galasso’s now.

            What fuckup is that? Amber’s the one who changed the grades by hacking the school system. That’s on Amber, not the school. And Jason wasn’t fired for Walky’s grades, it was for banging a student (something he actually did).

                If they’re able to find the grades were changed, it shouldn’t be too hard to find out when. That would date it after Jason got canned.

                  That’s not quite clear. Jason was told if he wanted to dispute it, he’d have to talk to the tribunal with the affected student. Penny didn’t know they were really banging, but she may have given Sal’s name if she was the other TA that Jason asked to mark Sal’s stuff.

                  Personally, I don’t think they have a name, but regardless, the school’s unlikely to let Walky off the hook even in this scenario. That doesn’t sound like ‘The guy banging your sister changed your grade to throw us off’ it sounds like ‘your sister got her boyfriend to up your grade, you cheater.’

        Clearly, he was seeing double. 😛

      One of the white blood cells in a Belgian cartoon about the body. She piloted a spaceship and was pretty similar in style to Laureline in the Valérian.

      (and being reminded of that, incidentally, makes me look at my chosen career as a cell biologist in a new light).

        Psi is really nice, and competent, and pretty, and confident… what’s not to love ?

        Also, I have to point out that the cartoon is French, not Belgian. It would be a source of real pride for me if it was Belgian (it has been watched by pretty much every kid of the 90’s around here, everybody knows it), but it ain’t.

          PSI, that was her name! She piloted a B lymphocytes. I have to rewatch it.

          What? The one time I assume a french-speaking cartoon is NOT french i get it wrong? I thought I finally cracked the code.

            Honestly, there are very few Belgian(-made) cartoons. Tintin is a Belgian hero, but the cartoon was made by a French studio, same for Spirou or Lucky Luke (and its spinoffs). The Smurfs, in their time, were sold to Hanna-Barbera…

            Basically, if animation is well-liked (and alive) in Belgium, it’s mostly small-scale creations, of which most people (and even less non-Belgians) have never heard of.

                  Totally right. I should have been clearer and say that Spirou works at the same place, even if he has (a lot) less panel time in Gaston than Fantasio.

    Amber, I don’t think Walky would mind that you were in a hostage scenario and stabbed Sal’s hand because of your dad’s bullying. He would be angry if you like Ultra Car though.

    I feel like this moment is illustrating how little they know of each other outside of basic knowledge. Not saying this ship is destined to sink, I’m just saying I wouldn’t put any bets down on them either.

        Yes, but this was AG, not Amber!

        At least at that time Sal was under the Amazi-Girl mask.

        And now you know the reason why Billie thinks: Sal is Amazi-Girl.

    Ruth and Amber are one person phasing back and forth so quickly that she creates the illusion that there’s two separate people, just like the Olsen twin.

      There’s kind of a reason for that? Or maybe two? But they’re a whole universe away, and I’m cautious of importing either of them into this one.

    Ohhhh…. I’m totally shipping Walky and Ruthless. Especially if Ruthless has no idea about it.

    Ruthless is heading down the hallway. Walky pokes his head out of a random doorway, but keeping himself mostly concealed.

    Walky: “I know who your secret identity is, and I think you’re hot!”

    Ruthless is startled, and just stares. Walky stares back. Ruth has no words… then thinks it’s best to not respond, and turns and slowly walks away. Walky continues to watch from behind his cover.

    Could be an ongoing storyline that never progresses any further than that! 🙂
