Will changing the default port connection better my speed?
It seems to help, in that the people with faster torrents will play with you.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The MPAA slapped me on the knuckles this week. I feel very ... well, annoyed, but hey. I was stealing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thus "proving" my philosophy, which is that nothing is an absolute, including math, and therefore nothing should be presented as such.
Actually the converse. Because numbers behave the same and retain the same properties regardless of what happens in the real world, they're not empirical. There's nothing that could happen physically to disprove '2 + 2 = 4', for instance. If ever we find a substance where you add two units together and you get less or more than 4 units, we don't change the mathematical system, we use a different number to describe the end result. (And then physicists set about working out why it didn't equal 4, but that's physics, not maths.)

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Every now and then I wonder why the symbol "2" represents two (or "4" = four, etc.) What happened to make those symbols represent those numbers. Why is "2" not representative of four? The same with letters. Why is the symbol "T" represented by the sound of putting your tongue on the back of closed teeth with air being expelled through them?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
There's nothing that could happen physically to disprove '2 + 2 = 4', for instance. If ever we find a substance where you add two units together and you get less or more than 4 units, we don't change the mathematical system, we use a different number to describe the end result.
If you can get five math experts to admit they were wrong. Or get them to admit that they invented the entire concept in the first place because the human mind is not constructed to completely dig the purely abstract, and we're never going to want to believe it.
Sorry, BT. Popping back out. This stuff makes me grind my teeth and break out in hives, less because I don't believe any of it than because of the calm certainty that numbers are the Way and the Light that has permeated way too much of my life to this point. And for various reasons, that calm certainty is pinging specific buttons tonight.
Maybe tomorrow.

So much math in Bitches. World of wrong. Brain would hurt even if it wasn't very carefully poisoned and polluted with 25$ belgian microbeer.
Perhaps sleep might be good. More water and vitamin I first, I'm thinking. Also, food.
