Shoot I failed the last assignment... but at least I know what the codes do?
I forgot there was a mention of an error in the assignment (the last one) and that the document would be updated... long story short, I coded the damn thing to show the wrong kind of answer. My professor gave me some extra days to redo it. Damn it no wonder this assignment felt impossible, I wrote the right code but demanded false output for right-calculated thing

Re: How Was Your Day Thread V5
The new ending doesn't bother me and I actually love how they go meta and address it in the move itself with a running joke that includes King himself. IT is... well, it's easier to talk about than The Shinning, that's for damn sure. Yes, that one scene looks bad, and it leads to the one complaint I have with the movie. They completely gloss over what Pennywise is and that's the whole point of the book.Danafox wrote:Cool, maybe I'll see it...eventually...maybe with friends....for a spooky day.

Spoilers for the book:
Spoiler
The clown is not the most evil thing in Derry. The people are. Pennywise hangs out there because they feed him. Pennywise is King's shout out to Lovecraft, he's a beastie from beyond time and space. He feeds on fear, flesh is just sort of ... seasoning. And over time, the townsfolk decided they are perfectly okay with the Bogeyman living in their town because IT gives them the perfect excuse. The oldest excuse. The devil made me do it. Rather than realize they are bigots and racists and face themselves in the mirror they feed their children to the bogeyman and say 'it's not my fault, the devil did it'.
Pennywise is just a symptom of the evil, not the disease. The murder that happens in the opening of Chapter 2 is based on a real case that actually happened when King was writing the story. He went down a rabbit hole into the reports and to this day talks about the murder that Woke him to the real world horror of homophobia. He rewrote IT to include a blow-for-blow recreation of the crime in the hopes that readers would be horrified by it and realize this shit happens for real and you SHOULD be outraged. The scene in the movie tones it way down so keep that in mind if you decide to read the novel. Mike's parents being burned to death in the first movie is another hint to real world horror. A sort of Northern States version of the KKK really did terrorize and kill African-Americans.
The whole point of the book is how we talk about evil to kids as if evil is a bogeyman, when adults see evil next door and (often) do nothing to stop it.

It's one of those uncomfortable truths. I've heard people actually complain that it's unnecessary in that we don't need to be reminded of our faults because that's not "how it is anymore." But we do. And it still is sometimes.
On the upside...
I just found the deleted scenes from the first film where, after fleeing the Neibolt house, Mike lifts Eddie like he's nothing and sets him in his bike basket because of his broken arm and it is so goddamn cute. I'm sad it was cut, haha.

Re: How Was Your Day Thread V5
This was all I could find..
https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/th ... ic/8105248
I also saw a notice on a different site that this song is 'permanently out of print', whatever that means.

Yeah, I find it super weird but I guess some of them are in the off season and others are just weird. I managed to find a few places to reserve (and most in National Parks! Yay!) and where I couldn't I just booked a motel room.
And finally got an interview for work in my field back in New Hampshire. Thing is, it is another SCA position and I'm not sure if I will be required to live in housing. Also it only pays $90 a week...for 10 months...I'm barely making it on $160 a week now. My savings are practically gone. I'm hoping if I don't take housing I can be compensated for it. There's no way I can make $90 a week work when I'll have rent to pay.
EDIT: I'm reading the information they sent me and apparently the living spaces are cabins without bathrooms and it is an all vegetarian diet. I don't think this place will be working out for me...
