The institution achieved, over the course of one or two decades, almost complete success. The problem which it was created to solve was almost entirely eradicated, appearing only in historical records and pathological examples in technical discussions.
The institution then, perhaps subconsciously realizing that its very survival depended on having a problem to solve, refused to take the final, trivial steps required to complete their task. Instead, they cautiously and carefully began to re-interpret their original mission in an open-ended way. They also sought to establish goodwill for themselves by advertising these new, completely unnecessary goals to younger audiences who were largely unfamiliar with the original, almost-solved problem.
Today, the institute yearly churns out reams of documentation, standards, and recommendations. The rest of the industry has largely given up following these documents because they solve no compelling issue, and do not solve the existing, serious problems brought about by earlier reams. Younger 'enthusiasts' on social media boast about how much money they've donated to fund future documents. Members of the committee eagerly discuss difficult solutions to easy problems nobody has.

There's no escaping the 9000th. Maybe, a thousand days or so ago, we could have avoided it. But not now.
Hurry up!

11 posts per day for 50 days. A gruelling ordeal that only the hardiest of the DQNs will survive.
I kinda wish the posting rate was much lower so the gomez gang would have to bail us out again at the 11th hour like last time.
Tony Hawk reminded me of you >>900-kun, how are you doing these days?

I wonder what Tony Hawk does these days. Is the skating fad over by now?

it's so cold because there's no clouds to trap the heat in, usually it's colder on days when there are no clouds in the sky

I remember me and my cousin stumbled across Rejected one night and when he was old enough for it he got a tattoo of it. I guess he really liked that short.

Having a spoon that's too big is more relatable than it might seem at first.

How relatable is this: wanting a spoon, but being forced to choose between washing a big spoon or using a little spoon?
Do you ever butter your toast with a fork rather than clean a knife?
I just rub the entire stick over the toast
I butter the pan by unwrapping one end of the stick and using it like a crayon.
i just take a bite of bread and chase it with a sip of molten butter

transmission what are you doing
I have the files right here, I know they're the right files because I just got them directly from the original source five minutes ago, how can you not see them COME ON THEY ARE RIGHT THERE RECOGNIZE THEM AND START SEEDING ALREADY
all I want to do is revive a couple of dead torrents and this is the kind of treatment I get, what's a DQN gotta do these days for a little good karma

>>412 Check your filenames. Check your download directory. Ensure that they are actually the same files. Choose the option to verify local files, then start it.
>>415
did all that, it worked for some other stuff just before. usually transmission picks it up right away if it's in the directory, in this case it didn't, and tried to overwrite one of the files with the 400kb of data that is out there. best I can figure is they repacked it sometime in the last 5 years or so and now the hashes don't match, and since they're monolithic rars instead of individual files any change nukes the whole thing. I guess I could just create fresh torrents with the new files though.
My animu collection/stockpile continues to grow. I now have about twice as much unwatched as watched. My rate of consumption does not justify this.
At least hard drives are cheap and small.
