Probably just lazily converted a yard to centimeters and was like "close enough, it's a meter anyway."

It would be difficult to make that mistake, I would think.

A yard and meter are basically the same, stop measurement lawyering.

91.44 centimeters is about 0.9144 meters, which rounds up to one meter. Ergo, one meter is 91.44 centimeters. :P

Yeah, it shouldn't be okay to do math like this.

We're going to see some prose about South Oderia's aunties?

That'll be nice.

Can we have it as a prose poem?

Same.

We should also thank Arch for that pic of a bunny jousting on a human-headed snail, given that inspired the banner and all that. :)


I wouldn't trust the bunnies...

I once had an entire NationStates World Cup RP campaign built around killer ever-so-cute bunnies.

I was asking my students what they plan to do on the wonderful Dragon Boat Festival holiday, many said that they were going to go to see the boats and eat lots of rice dumplings

I hope they have a great time

This city is a really great place to have the boat festival. It mixes so well with the views of the harbors and the mountains, it’s quite an unforgettable sight...

And if you make it until the sun starts setting, then it casts quite the amazing backdrop

I kept oversleeping and this might be becoming more and more of a concern as time goes on.

I really do need to get things done, and so here I am, balancing my work and contemplating on something else.

And how much on a scale from 1 to 10 would you say NSG factors as a potential distraction? :)

4 / 10. It's not as bad despite my addictions. I could definitely plug off and do my work for some consecutive hours without checking here every time.

What I am suffering from right now, is excessive sleep, general tiredness... from doing absolutely nothing. I don't know how I am getting this lazy, but alas.

I see...

Sleep can be addicting, especially if you have a nice big comfortable blanket and fluffy pillow

My bad habit includes taking a nap after a meal, or just telling myself "Ahh, just 10 mins of catching 40 winks."

.... then it escalated into 8 hours of sleep and me scrambling and thinking to myself "Whyyyy".
