“I’m looking at the gray box and the geometry is screwing the cadence of the third set-up. I think the LODs are breaking the LOS. Tell the scripters to throw in some bounding volumes so I can finish the progression.” [SPOILER]_Videogame development._ "I’m playing through the rough version of the game and there’s a problem with how this level has been constructed. The bad guys aren’t attacking the way they’re supposed to. I think it’s because the software that checks if they can see me is using the wrong data. Tell the level designers to block that area off so I can keep testing to make sure that the game is winnable.[/spoiler] ---

There was an assault by a prisoner there condemned for felony; who, following his condemnation, threw a brickbat at the said Justice, which narrowly missed. And for this, an indictment was immediately drawn by Noy against the prisoner, and his right hand was cut off and fastened to the gibbet, on which he himself was immediately hanged in the presence of the Court. OK, that’s a nearly 400 year old case report. Surely, it’s gotten better since, no? > [@](#): > > In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for medical malpractice, etc., the plaintiffs appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Hart, J.), entered July 10, 2008, as, upon the granting of that branch of the motion of the defendants Stanley Sprecher, Peninsula Radiology Associates, P.C., and Peninsula Hospital Center pursuant to CPLR 4401, made at the close of the plaintiffs’ case, which was for judgment as a matter of law dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them, upon a jury verdict finding the defendants M.

Most of the words in that massive sentence are perfectly understandable to a non-lawyer. It’s incomprehensible because the syntax is so convoluted, which is a different thing … . ---

OK, Word is not a true supported format, but you can export as Word by generating a mockup and save as RTF then open it in a raw text editor, select all and copy; then create a calcfield defined as the RTF as boilerplate string, but cut it with ampersands wherever a field value belongs and replace the textstring with the field reference. Then all you have to do is show all, omit, show omitted, and export as tab delim with an .rtf extension. ---

“We need a LYBUNT and SYBUNT list for the phonathon, CSZ all phones, and can you run the pyramid off the Cashboard too?” “We need a list of people who gave last year but not this year, and a list of people who gave some time in the past but not last year or this year, for our annual phone appeal.

We can’t run these 12-up because they bleed and there won’t be any gripper. If I couldn’t explain to the guy I was working with for over a year so he understood it I don’t think I can explain it here, but it has to do with running multiple copies on one plate for printing to save press time. ---

There’s an LBJ at 10 o’clock in that strangler, near the TK. It has the jizz of a Bananaquit. There’s a little brown job (bird) at the 10 o’clock position in that strangler fig tree, near that Tropical Kingbird. It has the general impression of size and shape of a small bird called a Bananaquit. ---

Let’s do an Iron Butterfly. IRON BUTTERFLY SPREAD: An option spread composed of calls and puts, with long options and short options at three different strikes. The options are all on the same stock and of the same expiration, with the quantity of long options and the quantity of short options netting to zero. The strikes are equidistant from each other. An iron butterfly can be seen as a straddle at the middle strike and a strangle at the outer strikes. For example, a long 50/60/70 iron butterfly is long 1_50 put, short 1_60 call, short 1_60 put, and long 1_70 call. It’s important to understand that you buy an iron butterfly for a credit, that is, you take money in when you buy it. ---
