But if the new me has no idea that the old me died, then there's really no harm in it. From the perspective of my sentience, I would leave one destination and carry on in the other. My brain patterns, thought patterns and so forth would continue as they did. I would be no worse for wear.

they would be copied, not continued. You'd never know if teleportation worked, because you'd be dead. The copy of you would live your life.

From your perspective, your life would end the minute they flip the switch. You'd never see anything after that. Your consciousness wouldn't move to the new body. Your consciousness would be copied and then destroyed.

I get that, but I don't care since the new me would move forward with the memories and apparent sentience of the old me. My new POV would believe it is my old POV.

I also want to learn really simple card and magic tricks.

We can agree that Guitar Guy usually doesn't fit in at most parties, but holy fuck, Card Guy is a fucking riot! You have a bunch of dudes who just smoked a blunt in one of the bathrooms completely tripping out over all those tricks... it's hilarious.

Become a Card Guy and tell us how it goes.
 
I did that oatmeal thing that someone posted about yesterday. I don't think it worked all that well, but I did take pictures if anyone wants me to upload them. My skin does not look good close up, though.

Also, I used to be guitar guy. They were generally ignored unless they could sing and play the latest pop-punk songs at the time. This was back in 05.

The same goes for yourself. Doesn't have to be a transporter... I think all of your cells have been replaced by now (since you were a kid)... are you still the same person?

While there are cell types that experience rapid turnover, neurons are post-mitotic. Outside of very minor neurogenesis, which requires neural stem cells or a reversion to a more pluripotent phenotype, the neurons that remain after the serial apoptotic cullings that occur throughout neural development are the ones you're stuck with during your lifetime.

*shakes fist at employer*

On a good note, I got one of my 2 broken TVs fixed this morning and Sony is offering me a new 3D TV as a replacement for the other one at a pret-ty, pret-ty, pret-ty, pretty good discount! :D

I spent the day re-wiring my game room (18 consoles wired and ready to rock!) and now I'm off to play some games on my blissful XBR960! :)

I have a simple card trick that will impress and all you have to do is know how to count. When I get back to my desk, I will type how

Ok, here's a simple math card trick that will often stump people and impress them.

Start with a standard 52 card deck with no jokers shuffled very well.

Setup:

You will want to start several piles of cards based on their face value. Begin with the deck of cards all facing you so you can see their value. The first card you come across, count up to King from that value. For instance. If your first card is a 6, lay down the 6 and subsequent cards, 7,8,9,10,J,Q,K until you get to King in your counting... not the actual cards. If you were to get a 10.. then you'd lay down the 10 and whatever 3 cards are next to make up the J,Q,K.

Continue doing this for as many piles as you can until you run out of cards. Everytime you count to King (or 13), start a new pile. Aces are 1. If you run out of cards, you're done... take the remainder that didn't add up to 13 and hold them in your hands, now face down.

Trick:

Ask a participant to pick any three piles to flip over. They will pick three and you grab the entire pile and flip them over so the entire pile is face down. Grab the remaining cards and add them to your hand face down.

Now ask the participant to flip over any top card of the pile. When they pick, flip over ONLY the top card and note its value.

For the first count of cards, take the cards value.. for example.. an 8, then add 10 to it, so 18. From your hand count out, face down on the table, 18 cards. (or whatever number is the face value of the top card flipped + 10)

Now ask them to flip over another top card from any of the remaining two piles. (Not your discard pile). Note the value of the card flipped over.... lets say a 6. Start again counting out cards from your hand and in your head when you get to 6, continue counting from 1 the remainder of the cards in your hand.

Whatever number beyond the number of the face value that you had remaining in your hand will always be the value of the top card in the final card pile. For instance, in the example above, if you counted 6, then 9 more remained in your hand, the third pile's top card when flipped with be a 9.

Confused now? I am. =)

EDIT: Oh, and do the counting silently in your head, otherwise the effect on the person you're doing it to is lost.
 
Okay, on the topic of a group picture.

I now have ~600 avatars saved and am working on clearing out the non RP ones. Would anyone have a problem with me uploading all the avatars to mediafire so someone more artistic could do something with them?

I couldn't sleep on Monday night (and had to work on Tuesday) so ended up being awake for about 40 hours. I hate it when that happens.

I politely refuse.

They always used to ask me to play all of those beginner guitar songs like iron man, all the small things, smoke on the water, etc.

I never learned to play any of those songs. I think the first song I learned to play was Everlong, which was strange because it was in drop d.
 
What goes into a creepy PM?

I send PMs occasionally, but only when I have something I want to say to a specific person

That was also the first song I learned to play. I still play it. That song has been good to me.

I sent one so creepy to HP that she stopped talking to me all together. She replied something along the lines of it haunting her very core and threatened to get the authorities involved.

But I had just bought them and getting the size setting was a bit of a pain in the ass. It's like when you get your tie too long/short and have to just redo it over and over.

You are so money you don't even know it. I can easily adjust suspenders on the fly which I pretty much have to. I play with them too much, pullin em and snapping them.
