(...) I would say yeah, he has, after looking at this (URL) =) ~Nathan (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) Have you met Shiri before in your life? Jesse Long (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Gallery speed
 
I've also noticed on occasion when I click the "random folder" (great feature!!) a folder will display with the dreaded red "x" (no image available), and I can't click on it. Maybe this is related? ROSCO (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Gallery speed
 
Both myself and the original poster were mystified as to why this link didn't work for me - have you any idea as to why not? (URL) ... Geoffrey Hyde "Kevin Loch" <kloch@opnsys.com> wrote in message news:GG0H6J.ALE@lugnet.com... (...) LIMIT 24 (...) (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
Hi, Long time no see, John! Have you just been lurking about? (I'm finally back from Europe myself.) Coming to Brickfest? How's JHU? (...) Weren't there other methods used recently as well? I'm not sure that any would be as accurate as a laser, (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) Actually, you have this backwards. The friction of Earth's oceans against its solid parts is slowing the Earth's rotation down. This translates into a loss of angular momentum for the Earth. But angular momentum must be conserved. The angular (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) Whoa, that's something I never thought of before! It kind of raises an interesting idea, too. If this is always a trend for the satellite (i.e., "moon") of any planet with large amounts of liquid on the surface, then maybe over time there is a (...)

  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I think that unless we can find a specific point at which Shiri is not a man, then we cannot demonstrate conclusively that she is a woman. Either Shiri occupies a spectrum of man-ness and woman-ness with no distinction, or a distinction (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I assure you, my boy, Shiri *is* a woman. I should know. ;-) <snipped the forecast> (...) Math is confoozing. In my mind. :-) -Chris (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) The reason I asked was because the way that you read can influence how you reply. With the web interface, following a thread is easy. With mail it's still easy, but not quite so easy. With a newsreader, I unfortunately don't have any (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I like the LEGO Castle set but I do not have the time (today) to speak with her. Maybe I can later? Please tell Shiri I said hello, is that acceptable, Larry? Thank you, Larry. Jesse Long (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I read them in an electronic mail account but not necessarily the messages. I simply type on Lugnet, then they send me a copy of the letter and I post the letter, then I take the Yahoo copy of the letter and I delete that copy of the letter (...)

  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I think it is safe to say that Shiri (she's of the female persuasion) does not hate you. I doubt that she hates anybody, actually. Since this seems to be the "isn't Shiri great" subsection of the thread, let me add my kudos, she does a lot of (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) Shiri is a woman who hangs out in the Castle sub-theme more than Space. You can check over there to see what she's made. I haven't made a castle in years.... (...) Sounds like severe weather indeed. However, you need to pay closer attention to (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I am simply wondering why Shiri hates me. I was joking in part of the letter, which also means I also probably watch too much wrestling. I also have never seen any of the work that Shiri has made and simply wanted to know if Shiri (not sure (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) What's the deal with that Shiri person? She never has a bad thing to say about anyone, she's always got some positive contribution to make, and her posts are uniformly well-reasoned. I'm tired of her consistency and good-spiritedness--she's (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) Jesse, What does this have to do with the current thread? I also hope that you are joking (in which case you should be posting to .fun). Shiri is a good builder and a large contributor to the community. I'm a little confused as to where this (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) Am I evil or annoying, Shiri? I am simply wanting to know and I want to know if you have built any LEGO sets of your own in your spare time. (We are evil! In-deed! Kaientai, WWF) Jesse Long (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Gallery speed
 
(...) I'd go for amalgamating the two steps into one query - something like: SELECT id, name, icon_information, etc. FROM file_parent WHERE file_parent.id IN (SELECT file_parent from files) This avoids the problem of having to query for DISTINCT (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Gallery speed
 
(...) This probably wouldn't help much - the cursor isn't indexed, so the SELECT DISTINCT would be slow. A better way to split it (assuming your back-end has a decent optimiser) may be to create an index on file_parent + file_modify_time, then do: (...)
