Poor Excuses For Humans II

Posted by Eric Hamby in Articles

If you haven’t already please be sure to read part one of this before reading this part.

I was going to just update part 1 of this with comments but these people have given me so much to write about it will have to be a whole other post. The comical stupidity of these people never ceases to amaze me. Ok let’s start this adventure out with Robins baby shower Saturday. As I let you all now in the last part hr mom can’t go 5 minutes without a cigarette in her hand. First thing she does when she gets in me and Robin’s house is light up a cigarette. When I ask her to put it out she said she was sorry and didn’t realize she was doing it. Ok let’s stop there for a moment.. She said she didn’t realize she was smoking? Ok number 1, you in another person house that don’t smoke during a “Baby Shower” and number 2 , you have to spend 10 minutes looking for a ash tray which I have yet to figure out where she got it. If these 2 signs isn’t enough that you shouldn’t be smoking then there is no hope for you. If the fact that you have to look for an ash tray doesn’t tell you that you shouldn’t smoke in that spot sorry you’re not bite person. Ok, fast forward to Tuesday October 30th which is 3 days later. Her mom stops by here and talks to Robin and they go outside to have a talk and standing 2 feet from Robin Lights up another cigarette. Which by this point I’m a little pissed because I have already let her know she shouldn’t be smoking around Robin which I would think that any grown up would know. I open the door and ask her what was the difference in smoking inside and smoking it outside around Robin. And she had the most brilliant answer; she said “I’m outside….” I guess she didn’t know that smoke travels or something. When she said this I flipped and told her it’s no wonder Robin was born with 2 holes in her heart. Which is true that her mom’s stupidity has caused Robin a lifetime of trouble? So all we can figure out is that her mom was upset by this and went and talked to Robin’s step-dad. Later that night we get a knock on the door. Yes it’s her “I’m Mr. Bad ass at age 51″ step-dad. He walks in and you can already see he has got something stupid to say. He starts with the “We need to have a talk” speech to me, and wanted to know why I told Robins mother about the 2 holes in her heart. I would think it was kind of clear why I said hopefully next time her mom goes to get a cigarette around Robin she would think of that and not do it. Apparently I should be ok that her mom doesn’t care that my child has holes in her heart. The he said he was here because I shouldn’t have said that and that her mom was home upset about it. Does he really think I care? Robin spends every day of her life in pain and not being able to breathe and on medication for the rest of her life, but yet he think I should care about the person that did this to her because she was stupid is upset for one day? He said then that it wasn’t the smoking that caused the heart problems it was her drinking while she was pregnant with Robin. WOW did he just make her mom look worse. Now not only do we know what she was smoking the whole time but drinking to. Then he let into the fact that there is no such thing as second hand smoke and it was all bullshit (yes he is this dumb). He said he knew some people that grew up with weed being smoked around them there whole life and there just healthy as can be. Ok number 1, its weed not a cigarette. And number 2, ok so you know 2 people that it didn’t hurt so go tell the billions that have cancer because of 2nd hand smoke there full of shit. The he stated with the you don’t respect me you never come to see me thing. At which point I let him know he has never come to see me either. His only response to this was “how many times you ever called to want to hang out”. Which is good but the only thing is and I said to him “how many times you ever called me”. Everything he was saying was so dumb because he was just making himself look dumber. If you’re going to blame someone for something, try to make sure you’re not just as guilty. Then he started the I’m no good, your just a piece of shit, ass hole, punk thing. The after calling me a punk he spit in my face……. I’m sorry who does that anymore isn’t that something a 5 year old does. Its a wonder his teeth didnt fall out. You’re calling me a piece of shit, ass hole then you spit on me, how backward is that. He then keeps saying that if I was a man would hit him. Last time I looked into it he was just calling me names and not hitting me either so all he did was call himself not a man. Then he goes over to Robin and tells her that she should leave me because all I do is yell and scream at her and tell her what to do. Which I have never done and no one has ever heard me and robin in an argument at all. And it’s strange how he tell her she should leave me because I yell and scream and tell her what to do while he is… yelling and screaming and telling her what to do. I’m sorry I just think that at the age of 51 or whatever you should have better thing to do then try to boost what little ego you have left. He calls me a punk but he is the one going around picking fights with people. Then he stated with the I don’t respect you thing. Like I care. He is a 51 year old redneck in Demopolis, Alabama, like I care if he respects me or not. Then he said I was sponging off of her. Which is funny because when we lived in Prattville and I was buying her everything he never said she was sponging off of me? He blames me for sponging but he has been living off her for 10 years. Kind of strange how when she moves out he goes and gets a job after 10 years of doing hardly anything. Why come over to someone’s house to start trouble when you have nothing better to say I will never know. We are moving soon though as you can see why, so hopefully I will never have to see the stupid people again.

Respect

Posted by Robin Thomas in Articles

Respect?

What is the definition of respect?

Respect is an assumption of good faith and competence in another person or in the whole of oneself. Depth of integrity, trust, complementary moral values, and skill are necessary components.

Respect adds general reliability to social interactions. It enables people to work together in a complimentary fashion, instead of each person having to understand or even agree with every in a good place respect is very important to the community because people must have respect to get along with other people. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respect)

Now that you know what the definition of respect is tell me in your own words what you think it is.

In my on words respect is doing to people what you want done to you. For instance let’s say you hate to be interupted but you always do it to other people. Thats disrespectful. To me in order to recieve respect you must give respect; which, is probably why it angers me so when an elder person is disrespectful to you then turns around and says respect your elders. I personally don’t care how old you are if you disrespect me you will not be respected by me.

Thats all I have to say for now. I’ll finish it later.

Crafting Macro

Posted by U-S-S-R in Games

This is a crafting macro. This is a very very long macro but i will go through it all in detail.

Step 1: Preparation
1) Place 5 crafting tools in the first 5 slots of your toolbar.
2) Open your Game Options.
3) Under the “Controls” section, turn ON the one that says “Actions can be fired from toolbar.”
4) If you have not done so already, you will need to enable Cut/Copy/Paste within the game.
There is an excellent guide on how to do it here:
Enable Copy And Paste

Step 2: The Macro
1) Open the Command Browser
2) Select the “Macro” tab and create a “New Macro.”
3) Enter the information about your new macro.
• A) The name of your macro. For this example call it: MegaCraft
• B) Pick an icon. Any icon is fine.
• C) Paste the macro listed in the next step into this area.
4) Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to close the swg game window the press the game bar in the taskbar to open again.
5) Paste this macro into the box (”C”) and click OK when you’re done:

/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 1;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 1;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause 1;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;
/pause 1;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/pause 1;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 1;
/macro MegaCraft;

Step 3: Prepare the crafting session.
Before you begin, it is necessary to “prime” your crafting tool so the macro will function.
If you don’t do this, the macro will not work.

1) Launch a crafting tool (it doesn’t matter which) by clicking it’s icon in the toolbar.
2) Select the item you want to grind with from the list and then click “Next.”.
3) At this point it is not necessary to actually create an item. Do not add resources, simply click the “X” in the upper right to close the window.

Step 4: Launch the macro.
1) Go back to your command browser, find the icon for the macro you created and drag it into your toolbar.
2) Close any windows you may have open and activate the macro.
3) The macro will activate the crafting item you chose in the steps before
4) The macro will advance to the resource input screen. YOU MUST MANUALLY PUT THE RESOURCES IN.
5) The macro will close the crafting window with a system message that says: “The crafting session has ended!”
6) You will see the timer on the first crafting tool start counting down and the macro will launch the next crafting tool.
7) The process will repeat forever.
8) Type /dump to stop the macro.

Step 5: How to modify the macro

Want to grind a different item?
You will need to prime the crafting tool again.
Go back to Step 3 and select a different item.
Then launch the macro again.

Lag causing your crafting tools to mis-fire?
Increase the delay time on the /pause 1; lines.
Each number represents a second.
Try increasing to 1.5 or 2.
The longer the pause, the slower you will grind, but you have to go slow enough for the client and the server to sync up.
It is for this reason that you shouldn’t grind in laggy areas.

Need more time to input resources?
Increase the delay time on the /pause 5; lines.
The larger this number, the longer the macro will wait for you to put in the resources.

Want to actually create an item instead of merely practice?
This is actually useful if you’re going to make a lot of something to sell but don’t want to bother with a factory run.
Remove the words “Practice noitem” from both lines so that they read “/createPrototype;”
Note that you will not get to experiment on or give the item a custom name.

Want to use more than 5 crafting tools?
Just copy paste the part of the macro that represents a full run of a single crafting tool and change the Slot #.
So the next tool would be toolbarSlot05.
The /macro line must be the last line of the macro so paste it in above it.
Note that there is a character limit for macros and anything longer may cause issues.
——
This is a full run of the macro. Either add these or take away these kind of sections. dont forget
to change the toolbarslot# when adding.

/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 1;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 1;

——

Why are the last few lines of the macro missing when I log on?
The macro exceeds the character limit allowed by the game.
When you log in, the game will simply remove these excess characters and cause your macro to stop functioning.
There are two workarounds but neither is optimal:
1) Copy/Paste the macro back into the game every time you want to use it. It will work fine until you relog.
2) Remove the “Crafting Tool #5″ section. This will get you under the character limit but you may not have enough crafting tools running to allow you to grind non-stop.

Item Movement

Posted by U-S-S-R in Games

When attempting to use any item for decor or display, I suggest dropping it in your largest open room.
Rotate, Move, and see exactly how it reacts when you manipulate it.
This is also a good practice for items you have never dropped before.
Much of how we see things in inventory changes size drastically when dropped.
Any wearables in general will drop on the floor like they are being worn with arms extended.
Several items drop on floor with parts of the item below the floorline, a few objects have a offcentered axis.
Then there are items that are set on one side of a invisable cube, and it is the cube you are moving.

The basic commands used for item movement are as follows:
[ ] being the direction you want item to go
{ } being the amount you want item to move.

/move [up-down] {1-500} Will raise item from where it was dropped, or lower it from its raised position

/move [forward-back] {1-500} Will move item in the direction in accordance to how you are facing.

/rotate [left-right] {1-180} Will turn the item on its vertical axis by degree specified

/pickup Will pickup the item and place it back into you inventory

Common lines may be (with item to move targetted)

/move forward 50
/move up 100
/rotate left 90

If you find yourself doing alot of decor or displays, set frequently used commands into macros.
Then either place on hotkeys, or bind them in your keymap for quick access.

example list of macros to make:

/move up 1 /move down 1
/move up 10 /move down 10
/move up 100 /move down 100
/move forward 1 /move back 1
/move forward 10 /move back 10
/move forward 100 /move back 100
/rotate left 1 /rotate right 1
/rotate left 10 /rotate right 10
/rotate left 45 /rotate right 45
/rotate left 180 /pickup

Please remember that houses have zones, whose walls are usually between rooms but sometimes within them.
You cannot move items above or beyond these zone walls.
