00:00.08 | DrodoEmpire | Well, I shouldn't even say weapon ownership = murderers, far from it actually. But you know what I mean |
00:00.17 | Zillafire101 | Ja. |
00:00.55 | Wormy_ | The worst bite I've got was from a rabbit attack of all creatures |
00:01.02 | Wormy_ | Well, it wasn't an attack |
00:01.03 | DrodoEmpire | Ouch. |
00:01.32 | Wormy_ | I was feeding my rabbit and it got my finger |
00:01.46 | Wormy_ | Its teeth were like chisels |
00:02.11 | Zillafire101 | A dog bit my finger once. I was being kind of an asshole though. |
00:02.17 | DrodoEmpire | I'd say one of the worst bites I sustained was when my bulldog leapt on top of me and bit my face when he got *really* excited during play. It hurt like hell but thankfully wasn't actually too severe. |
00:02.31 | DrodoEmpire | It did leave a few scars on my face though |
00:02.45 | Wormy_ | Well, my dog is half terrier and half collie, but the terrier side can make him snappy |
00:02.50 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
00:03.05 | Wormy_ | So yeah, he has bit me a few times |
00:03.36 | Wormy_ | One time I went to put him on a lead and I didn't realise he was eating food |
00:03.41 | DrodoEmpire | My bulldog is actually very docile. :P He used to play a bit rough but now he spends most of his time sitting on the couch or knawing at his many bones. :P |
00:03.58 | DrodoEmpire | That was a rare occurance thankfully; He never bit again |
00:04.09 | Wormy_ | I actually chased him so fast I almost caught up with him |
00:04.14 | DrodoEmpire | lol |
00:06.50 | Wormy_ | There has been a few occasions when I have successfully put off an attack |
00:07.10 | Wormy_ | When a dog is acting aggressively and running up |
00:07.25 | Wormy_ | I stand in its way and bark commands |
00:07.50 | Wormy_ | Then one time I had to pick up my dog and hold him against a wall when a pitbull attacked |
00:07.57 | Wormy_ | It was jumping on my back |
00:08.09 | Wormy_ | But didn't bite |
00:08.35 | DrodoEmpire | Ouch |
00:08.39 | Wormy_ | Of course it wasn't after me |
00:09.49 | Wormy_ | Still, even a small dog's bite can hurt |
00:10.05 | Wormy_ | My friend was throwing sticks for my other dog, a whippet |
00:10.17 | Wormy_ | Never even uttered a growl |
00:10.42 | Wormy_ | well, he got his thumb caught in the jaw |
00:10.53 | Wormy_ | And it tore off his thumbnail |
00:10.58 | Wormy_ | And thats just playing |
00:11.36 | DrodoEmpire | Well shit. :L |
00:11.41 | Wormy_ | But my friend is pretty hardccore and works with metal |
00:12.03 | Wormy_ | So what he did, was fashion himself a metal thumbmnail and glued it on |
00:12.47 | Wormy_ | To protect the thumb underneath |
00:13.15 | Zillafire101 | That is hard core. Kudos to him. |
00:13.37 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
00:14.44 | Wormy_ | Well, the guy had suffered a accident on his motorbike when a car flung out its driveway without looking. Almost losing his legs he has to wear this metal harness |
00:15.43 | Wormy_ | So I guess he built himself his own style |

00:19.09 | AdmiralPanda | as the resident biologist let me tell you the chimp loses because all their strength is in pulling straight down- you push their arms out to the side and they have nothing, you can easily push their arms behind their back and dislocate the joint |
00:19.31 | Knight_Alien | Hi |
00:19.41 | DrodoEmpire | AdmiralPanda: Huh, never knew. |
00:19.42 | Wormy_ | Yeah but has anybody been able to do that? |
00:19.43 | AdmiralPanda | sure if a chimp is jumping on you and clawing like mad you're gonna feel it, but if you're even halfway competent you'll win in the end |
00:19.53 | DrodoEmpire | Hi KA |
00:20.04 | Wormy_ | A sudden chimp attack |
00:20.15 | AdmiralPanda | Wormy_: No clue, but that's the basic biological breakdown |
00:20.23 | Wormy_ | I mean if you are a harderned warrior maybe |
00:20.34 | AdmiralPanda | no, even if you just keep your cool |
00:20.50 | Wormy_ | You might have fast reactions |
00:21.26 | AdmiralPanda | one of my lecturers, while not exactly attacked by the chimp, did just that to remove a rather clingy little fellow |
00:21.44 | Wormy_ | I have heard of people who've repelled big cats, lone wolves and even one case where a man (who happened to be a martial artist) kicked a bear in the nose and put it off |
00:22.16 | AdmiralPanda | the problem with big cats is they're usually designed for a one-bite kill, if you manage to stop them getting to your head or neck you're actually pretty good |
00:22.20 | AdmiralPanda | and lone wolves are pussies :P |
00:22.48 | AdmiralPanda | anyway the point I'm trying to make is, while chimps have a much greater pulling strength they aren't really that great at fighting a human |
00:22.53 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
00:23.16 | Wormy_ | I've always been told they are the hungry and desperate (but perhaps less fed) ones |
00:23.35 | Wormy_ | I actually agree with you on this |
00:23.46 | DrodoEmpire | So basically, humans are better at actually sustaining a fight |
00:23.51 | Wormy_ | I have yet to see any ape climb vertical walls |
00:23.55 | AdmiralPanda | humans are better at sustaining anything |
00:23.58 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
00:24.01 | AdmiralPanda | it's what we're designed for really |
00:24.03 | DrodoEmpire | True |
00:24.32 | AdmiralPanda | in fact you can remove the really from it, endurance is actually what we were designed for |
00:24.42 | Wormy_ | Like the way humans can climb nearly straight cliff edges. And humans have stronger leg muscles so can bench press more weight than chimp or eve gorillas |
00:24.51 | TekDroid | We're a stubborn species. :P |
00:29.50 | Wormy_ | So we can take away from this, if you can somehow stop a chimp pulling your limbs or face, distract a dog's jaw and wrestle it down, and stop a big cat biting your head and neck, you might get out relatively unscathed |
00:30.14 | Wormy_ | Drodo: Actually i forgot |
00:30.21 | Wormy_ | I was chased by a horse once |
00:30.38 | DrodoEmpire | You seem to get yourself into a lot of animal-related trouble. XD |
00:30.50 | Wormy_ | Aye |
00:31.15 | Wormy_ | But that was my scariest animal encounter |
00:31.22 | DrodoEmpire | Probably |
00:31.35 | Wormy_ | I was actually chased a second time but it turned out that the horse wanted to say hello |
00:31.49 | DrodoEmpire | Hah |
00:32.00 | DrodoEmpire | At least it was friendly |
00:32.01 | Wormy_ | I don't like horses |
00:32.49 | DrodoEmpire | Well, it seems they're out for your blood so I don't blame you. XD |

17:54.32 | odell | So I figured out that Endless Legends has two races that are the same. One has lost their history and what is left from it is how they spend a generation living in a giant metal clivization beneath the "magical" planet's surface. |
17:56.21 | odell | One originates from space, is the same as the former, but lost everything as they tried to settle on the planet. In which they have to start from scratch and adapt to the same said mysterious planet. |
17:56.47 | odell | I find both the cases interesting. |
17:57.08 | Hachiman | That would be Vaulters and? |
17:57.44 | Xho | I might continue Sanguine Promenade if I can muster enough energy |
17:58.33 | odell | Mezari, though it's a faction exclusive to the Founders pack. |
17:58.52 | odell | And it shares the same traits and units as Vaulters. |
18:00.19 | odell | Bascially a reskin of the Vaulters. |
18:00.40 | Hachiman | That's dumb |
18:00.45 | odell | Hm, the wiki page leads me to this. http://store.steampowered.com/app/249050/ |
18:00.47 | Hachiman | More money paid for a reskin faction |
18:03.01 | odell | The vaulters' reskin in ES was however upgraded to a unique faction. |
18:03.09 | odell | So take it with a grain of salt. |

21:34.41 | Xho | Well just figured out what kind of model guitar my 6 string Ibanez is |
21:36.58 | Wormy_ | I have relatives in Ireland and the US. But my ancestry is a mixture of Anglo-Saxon, Scandanavian, Russian, Irish, Polish (and when one goes far back enough Spanish) |

22:24.22 | Xho | When I look back at it school and college was a cakewalk |
22:24.48 | Xho | Oh god I'm actually old enough to reminisce about education |
22:25.57 | Xho | Don't want to frighten anyone in education of course |
22:26.27 | Wormy_ | Thats why many do as much education as possible |
22:26.38 | Xho | Couldn't wait to get out of it personally |
22:27.23 | Xho | Even though everyone says to me "You're super intelligent why didn't you go and do languages in uni" quite frankly I hated college and I felt that uni would be no different |
22:27.38 | Xho | Plus my results weren't astonishing |
22:28.19 | Xho | I felt that education was too controlling on the mind of a student |
22:28.38 | Wormy_ | For the meat eaters here http://imgur.com/gallery/NdN2JLP |
22:29.01 | Wormy_ | It is for a large part |
22:29.42 | Xho | Many are willing to allow themselves to follow education's strict rule of "You must go to uni to succeed in life" |
22:30.00 | Xho | I find that experience absolutely dominates grades |
22:30.36 | Wormy_ | Well, a lot of people leave uni can't get an actrual job in what they want to do. |
22:30.48 | Xho | Indeed |
22:30.51 | Wormy_ | And a degree is two a penny |
22:30.57 | Xho | Life has a funny way of making things hard for people |
22:31.09 | Wormy_ | To get onto a masters they usually expect more than just a degree |
22:31.23 | Wormy_ | But lots of work experience |
22:31.35 | Xho | Yeah |
22:31.44 | Xho | I wouldn't imagine they'd just let you in because you passed an exam |
22:31.54 | Xho | Exams just show memory retention, experience shows knowledge |
22:31.58 | *** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@24.114.92.198) |
22:32.11 | Wormy_ | Indeed |
22:32.46 | Xho | Education is to me just a preparation for real life |
22:33.24 | Xho | If you stay in it longer you might get further ahead in the preparation but those who have already been in real life for longer (and of course on the right track) would be ahead of you |
22:33.39 | Wormy_ | If you want to get into science like I did you've got to take the higher education option though. |
22:33.46 | Xho | Definitely |
22:33.58 | Xho | I don't think anyone can get in on sciences with experience alone |
22:34.16 | Xho | I suppose it depends on what branch you take in life |
22:34.32 | Xho | Though no branch gets you far without doing something for yourself |
22:35.06 | TekDroid | For me I'm kinda legally required since you need a degree for the engineering certification. :P |
22:35.14 | Xho | Fair enough hur |
22:35.21 | Xho | Intelligence in all honesty does not get you far in life |
22:35.38 | Xho | It's actually contributing something towards yourself that does |
22:35.57 | Wormy_ | Well, I don't think the way we think of intelligence is very realistic anyway |
22:36.05 | Xho | Indeed |
22:36.12 | Xho | Very well |
22:36.20 | Xho | Academic fortitude then |
22:36.49 | Xho | My father for instance has no qualifications and now he essentially runs a private train company |
22:36.57 | TekDroid | Our education system seems to correlate intelligence with multiple choice test scores. >.> |
22:37.22 | Xho | Sure it's not the same for everyone in life but I don't see why someone in a similar situation shouldn't succeed in the same manner |
22:37.37 | Wormy_ | I've actually had quite a strange university progression. I haven't told everyone this but I've actually left my geology degree and I'm doing programming / interactive media / 3D graphics foundation degree instead. I had a great time and learned a great deal doing geology but I made errors in my studies and messed it up. It was very painful leaving it and the first year of my current degree was just awful |
22:38.15 | Wormy_ | But this year I'm making real effort and hopefully will get on a computer science top up |
22:38.20 | Xho | Well do what you enjoy I guess |
22:38.40 | Xho | You can always take on geology later if you want |
22:39.16 | Wormy_ | My projects are still geology related. I'm working on making 3D geological maps and applying what knowledge and skills I learned. I also am studying programming for simulation aand scientific visualisation |
22:39.21 | Wormy_ | Yes |
22:39.43 | Wormy_ | So in effect I've merged my experience on the two degrees together |
22:39.56 | Wormy_ | I'm enjoying it this year |
22:40.28 | Xho | The more one thinks about life and success the less they think about money |
22:40.52 | Wormy_ | The first year on the current degree wasn't good, as the lecturers were made redundant and they became lazy. I hardly got feedback or taught anything worthwhile |
22:41.06 | Xho | Well that's no help |
22:41.20 | Wormy_ | I feel cheated actually |
22:42.02 | Wormy_ | But this year we have new lecturers and I've been able to concentrate on my own projects. |
22:42.22 | Wormy_ | But yes the experience I can take away is worth a lot more than ticking boxes on an exam |
22:43.08 | Wormy_ | I've learned how to organise and apply myself better, and I've learned how defend my own ground when the system doesn't care about you like last year |
22:44.50 | Wormy_ | I had to leave my geology degree because I failed one module twice (the mapping). They said I could come back next year but I'd still have to pay for student fees. Well what choice did I have but to leave as fast as possible? |
22:45.02 | *** part/#sporewiki Ghel (05970128@gateway/web/freenode/ip.5.151.1.40) |
22:45.27 | Wormy_ | Serves me right, I should have demanded the help but I needed but I sat on top of it |
22:45.40 | Wormy_ | *that I |
22:46.19 | Wormy_ | But this year, I've not only overcome that I'm making 3D maps so I've exceeded what I failed in a sense |

22:48.05 | Wormy_ | hi |
22:50.04 | Wormy_ | I also get the odd feedback from my geology tutor as I email her my 3D maps and cross-sections |
22:50.39 | Wormy_ | She doesn't have to but I feel the feedback is neccesary to improve my work anyway |
