Thank you.

Yes. It was against my autism (don’t know if the guy knew I had it or not though).

Re: Venting thread

Got hit with a slur today by some guy who claimed that English has stopped evolving and is now frozen. This is the first time I can recall having been hit with a slur that refers to a group I belong to.

Re: LCS Subdomains Currently Down

Update: Looks like the subdomains were restored but not pushing new changes. I tried to add a new page to one of my hosted sites but it still errors instead of displaying what I just uploaded (persists upon multiple and spaced-out refreshes).‬

Re: Twin Aster

Sudden bolt of idea while I was on the can earlier: I've previously mentioned that XTC has a sort of construct state function that forces a second-register tone on the second (modifier) noun. It occurs to me that, while I knew that I wanted the city to be called " Mjuy Baong " (ignoring to...

That wasn’t nasalization. It was extra-high tone (hence the 5s).

LCS Subdomains Currently Down

The mainpage seems to work but the subdomains aren’t showing up (you can still FTP into them but they aren’t actually visible on the web). I’ve informed the LCS about this; no word yet on it though.

Actually, "rickets" is singular; I can't imagine what a single "ricket" would be. :D
A small rick.

Yes, one ricket can't kill you, but don't underestimate a rick. It'll never give you up, never gonna say goodbye.

Re: Twin Aster

I’ve just discovered the existence of hemerythrin. Lots of iron in it, makes for violet/magenta-ish blood, apparently. Íröd is lousy with iron, especially in the water. I think the adasar will use that as the bloodborne oxygen carrier.
