might doesn't make right?

i said something a few months ago about this area being shielded from nasty southern movements of cold air due to being nestled in between the great lakes, and that i'm going to have to get used to understanding the weather in terms of warm air moving north from the greater mississippi/ohio basin, as that's what was going to dominate it. i was trying to understand why it was so much warmer here than it was a few degrees to the north in ottawa. well, then we had an extreme/unusual push of cold air that just obliterated everything, south to florida....

but, this is a fast forward to thursday, and one can see that the cold air is being beaten back by warm air coming up from the valley. i think that's a season-changing event...

my stomach remains quiet, though. sorry.

lol. no...

when somebody with an identity of some kind challenges your preconceptions, prejudices and stereotypes that doesn't mean you should question their identity.

what it means is that you should question your prejudices. 'cause that's what's got you confused, you see?

you humans...

it's actually a science v. philosophy argument. evidence v. reasoning. empiricism v. deduction.

the individual that challenges your prejudices is evidence that your prejudices are wrong; the idea that they are not as they identify because they don't fit your prejudices is medieval logic.

found my troll twitter account.

still think it's stupid.

ok. so, that cd drive doesn't read anything. it just spins. lol...

i think it's the only actual *cd* i have. i have two dvd ides, and two dvd satas. that was the initial cd-r i saved up to buy when i was in my mid teens. you know those reasons you get a job when you're 15? i wanted a cd burner, to make demoes with. but it seems to be cooked...

it doesn't sound good, either.

couldn't be more than $5 on kijiji. if i can find one...

this is some progress:

if i put in a cd-r (not a dvd) into a cd-rom (not a dvd-rom) connected via the master ide cable, with the jumper to master (not cable select) it indicates drive activity that is otherwise not present.

unfortunately, i burnt the motherboard cd on what seems like my last cd-r. i thought i had a stack of lightscribe cds, but it turns out they're dvds. i'm not sure why i bought lightscribe dvds, but whatever. and i was silly enough not to put the amiboot.rom file on it.

so, now i'm searching for a cd-r to burn a 1 mb file on to. *sigh*.
