The reason I ask is because I think my cat is dying... We can't take her to a vet until tomorrow morning, and from the look of things I don't know if she will last that long.

She has been throwing up all day and making small whimpery meows. I can tell she is in a lot of pain. Now all she will do is stand hunched over her water dish but won't drink even though she is probably very dehydrated...

All I can think about is all the news articles about pet food that constantly needs to be recalled because it's filled with mercury or pentobarbital or some other utterly absurd poison that has no business being there.

Then I remember the day my dog died on December 18th, 1999. She was only four years old and just got sick one day and died that night in my stepfather's arms. It was a lot like this...
There's got to be an animal hospital around you. Take your cat there, and now!

Why hasn't "Nietzsche's Abyss" been coined as a philosophy term yet?

xe-0-1-0-1-1.r00.scrmca02.us.ce.gin.ntt.net [129.250.195.46]

Say hello to the node right next to the new XIV servers. Sacramento, California. Legitimately the stupidest thing they could've done.
This worries me greatly... Have at least one UK member in our FC that could be *** over by this placement.

South Americans get it even worse. My friend in Brazil is ***. Her new minimum ping is higher than her old maximum ping. Her average ping to the new server is 410ms.

My ping from NC went from 50ms to 92ms.

My girlfriend in Ottawa went from 50ms to 110ms.


To test, open a CMD prompt and type...
Old datacenter: ping 199.91.189.234
New datacenter: ping 129.250.195.46

will give general latency (in ms) to the regions that these datacenters are in.

Hey, I want to look into that abyss!
Just remember, the abyss will also look back, and probably see you naked too.

In the current anime season, there is a character that pulls those out almost every ten minutes.
I don't want one because of anime tho.

Here's a random thought:

Why do we feed our pets the same food all the time? Like how do we get away with that? I realize it's made to provide all the nutrients and things they need supposedly. If that is the case, then how is there not some equivalent miracle catch-all food for humans?


cause they aren't as concerned with taste as we are

The lobby servers themselves are now pingable.

204.2.229.10 and 204.2.229.9


10ms more latency to these than I had to the previous node IP.

I went from 20 something to 80 something... so not a problem for me to deal with but half the people I know in game are EU because of my work hours so will see how it plays out. Though now I actually have to be less terrible at the game and not just bank on good latency.

Looks like I gained 20ms, so it probably won't matter at all for me really. I wonder if it'll affect Drac really badly though.

EU and South America are the areas that will get hit bad by this. Anyone living in NA is probably still fine (though some parts of the Northeast and Canada might have problems). It really bothers me that they went with saving a dime instead of choosing a centralized server location and making the experience better for as many players as they can.
