Happy not everyone wanted to have a chocolate cupcake thing (in Dutch the old 'Negerzoen' nowadays called 'Zoenen') because I only had 24 with me and invited more then that at my work place  :happy:

And there was lots of good food too.

I have SARS. Again. More likely a bronchial infection really, but that's how we call it. And it sucks, big time.

Also, I'm chronically ill!

this website is always good for a laugh  http://notalwaysright.com/  It might not be random but laughing at the profound silliness of others makes me happy sometimes. 


BTW Whitey I highly recommend Buckleys syrup with Guafenicin expectorant, it's startlingly bad tasting but it works.  And putting something as bad tasting as that on purpose into your mouth several times a day should satisfy even your desire for schaden freude, and have you looking for flowers, kittens and little lambs. 
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: MrDWhitey on March 30, 2010, 09:40:46 PM
It's other peoples misfortune, not my own!

Also, food drink combinations. Salt and Vinegar Crisps + blocks of cheese, washed down with lemonade/coke.

I'm in heaven.

About that notalwaysright site, I work in a store and it's frightening how silly people can be. My favourite was rather mild, but I personally found it hilarious.

"Wait, that's not buy one get one free!"
"No, it's half price. It pretty much amounts  to the same thing, but it's better if you only want one"
"I wont have them then if they're not buy one get one free."

acvtually instead of showers you get light oil and exfoliating grit massaged into you nightly which is then scraped off with "strigils" which are similar to an artist's palette knife crossed with a butter knife and towelled dry. 

Chicks pay big big dollars for that priveledge.  there may be a catch however....  oh shadow looooooord. 

Thing to keep in ming to is that gladiatorial combat, it is being discovered bears a lot more resemblance to second string wrestling circuits than the fight to the death murderous spectacle we have been led to believe.  Blood was superficial and Combat's  seem to have been staged for the spectacle.

Yep hard to believe, not even one other interview offered in all the resumes she's sent out.  In many cases she applied for positions below her skill and experience level (which is significant), but I'm sure they figured she was "over qualified".  She at least got this interview, and if she gets the job, it will be significant. :icon_biggrin:

Lady friend and I celebrated 5 years together yesterday.  Had a yummy Italian steak meal with a bottle of wine, Clos de los Siete, Argentina, 2005, by Michel Rolland, 50% Malbec, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah.  Went to see a movie after dinner.

Having very good weather last weekend, we took a hike out along a trail that meanders along a small river to the spot where we had a picnic lunch for our first date, (followed by a movie on that day).

dude, everyone knows the coconut has it in for us. If it wasn't for the fact that beach resorts would go out of business in a flash without them and tropical destinations would no longer be tropical I'd say we get the UN to sanction them immediately.

On a happier thought I saw a girl shove a vibrator up a guys yoo-hoo today. It makes me very happy to know nothing like that will happen to me. It was also a very random experience.

SO I've been the most scared in my entire life today. A girl at work passed out and everyone in the office was freaking out. Turned out I was the only guy who knew CPR.

Eitherway turns out she had just fainted but I had to stop people going ape shit over her until the paramedics got there.

Anyway got a call saying she was fine and it was just over heating (HK summer plus full muslim garb). PLus I'm happy my very rusty and liable to be horribly wrong CPR skills didn't need to get tested - although I am thinking of doing my Bronze Medallion again now...

Dub, not dubstep! I can't stand most dubstep as well. I used to say all, but I recently heard a dubstep track on a Bad Brains remix album and I liked it. So it happens.

@Bies: Finally proof that clinging to ridiculous religious traditions is unhealthy! Yay!

I learned a few Clash tracks on bass today. Yay. I also am 99% sure the girl I've been actively chasing for 3 months now isn't interested. Give me some happy thoughts W-E! :ph34r:

Your employers have some weird ideas.
If I sacked someone for what amounts to gross misconduct - swearing at a customer - they would be out the door straightaway.
I would expect a strong chance of sabotage if they stayed.

I didn't get fired for swearing. My boss knows jack all. I got fired for spending too much time managing the website www.nandatravel.com (yes i post it every chance I get) and for writing newspaper adds. I was told they liked my auxillary work but I wasn't selling enough tickets (it was a + - money made, money spent on me thing).

Mind you in a meeting I just had then they're talking about how I'm about to get a bunch of new corporate clients and I have to treat them well in the long run and go meet them as I'm going to be their regular and longtime manager....doesn't sound like I'm getting the sack now does it! Seriously confusing times for all.

Good to hear your son got off ok, he should have flown to India and visited the subcontinent. If you view my website www.nandatravel.com  :engel: you can find all sorts of helpful itineraries (word of warning these are written by poor english speakers and I do a quick battlefield edit and re-write on a programme that has no spell or grammar check).

Here are some instructions I wrote up once...

Quote

Lets get started. The Ubuntu website has great resources for installing the operating system. I am working off the page that offers Acer support.
Ubuntu Acer Page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne
This page gives you specific support for the Acer. The Acer Aspire one has special needs as a netbook. In the past you would have to find custom remixes that were created by users. This time Ubuntu has offered a netbook "remix" directly.

The first step will be to build a USB key that you can boot off of and start the install process. One could do this on the netbook, but I decided to do it on my windows machine. I always feel more comfortable doing something like this with a trusted machine that is up and running. That way you can quickly download files or look up help. I highly recommend this.

Creating the USB key will require you to download the Ubuntu files and a program to create the key. You will also need a 1gig USB memory key (or larger but a larger one will be "wasted" since the program will format it for 1 gig). Here is the page for downloading the
Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook
Start the download right away, even with a fast connection it will take quite a while. For certain, don't start it on battery power, you want to be plugged in.
You will also need to download the Windows program that will make a bootable USB and put the Ubuntu files on it. You can find it here.
Win32DiskImager  https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
There are other options and the Ubuntu support pages can walk you through them.

Once you have the files downloaded to you windows machine and organzied in folders, insert the USB key and start Win32diskimager.

You will need to point the program to the location of the Ubuntu files and to the USB key (J: on my computer). Once that is done, click on Write and the program will format the USB and install the files.

When that is done you are ready to install Ubuntu.

I hope that helps.  It was for a Netbook Ubuntu install.  My last netbook I just went out and bought a USB DVD reader/writer to put on the shelf.  It was easier to get the windows install disks off the netbook and to install Linux from a CD.

Stress Mangement Technique

Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals.
The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile...

1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.

2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.

3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.

4. No one knows your secret place.

5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.

6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

7. The water is so clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.



There!!      See!     It really does work ................. You're smiling already.

And I know you know what tango is.

Anyway ... if she's the same girl you've shown pictures, she's a babe.  Just becareful, and make sure you're using the head on your shoulders, because marrying her for this, well, there needs to be better reasons to marry her for than that.

It has both good and bad points.

Ultimately though, if that is what she wants, she has to organise it (without your intevention).

Things like this generally can breakdown relationships.
People begin to think
"Did you prefer her over me?"
"Can I trust him"
"Is it going to happen again?"
"Is he going to cheat"
"is being with just me boring now"
"Did I see him give her more attention than me"
etc.

On the flip side, if you don't see a major future with this girl, go for it and have a great experience!

I highly doubt im ross from the show friends.

@warlord: Yup and I worry about that.  That is why she has to organize it and find someone she is comfortable with.  On top of that when/if this goes down to make it more about her than me or the other girl.  I watch a lot of "Ask Dan and Jennifer" (http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/) (NSFW but a really good relationship/sex/dating advice site with great videos and dan and jennifer are really cool about everything.  I highly recommend this site) to see how to approach the situation.  This is why it wouldnt be a good idea to use one of my friends because she would be worried that I want to do one of my friends or that I may have/had feelings for this other girl.  If she picks she doesnt really have to worry about me in that regard.

It smells like a trap ..........

If she is exhibiting signs of jealousy or possessiveness because you dance with other girls then those emotions will appear in or after a threesome.
If she's a long term prospect be very careful and I would say no.

If you don't see yourself with her in a year's time then go for it.

Of course you could play subtle and not sound like a demented kid who's just discovered ice cream, and throw the mental games back at her.
In a suitable quiet moment whilst cannodling I'd ask if she was bi-curious and whether she fancied another woman. Try to find out if she wants the extra woman for you ....... or for herself.
Then you could test her by suggesting you'd be quite happy to just watch and let her explore ..........

.. of course you would likely join in later,  :icon_wink: but she' not to know that, and her reaction to all this would be interesting.

One other question - why haven't you made the effort and got her interested in dancing.

had a threesome in my younger days  (tbh, it was like 10 years ago, I was 24...man I am old.)

2 girls and me.  It was an awesome b-day.  And the best part, no attachements since we were all just friends with benefits.  What I wouldn't give to relive that night over a few times...

Threeways are fun if you have no relationship with either girl.

If you ARE in a relationship with one of them, then it's too close to cheating for some girls to separate the two. I would think if she gets jealous from tango with other girls I would steer very wide of anything that involves other girls. The problem with women is that they tempt you with stuff like this, and even though they KNOW you want to go for it, the minute you do you are a lech, and it's all the excuse they need to ditch you. Obviously that's a broad generalization (get it? BROAD generalization? cuz she's a broad.) and it's entirely possible that she's just into chicks. Don't let your little brain cloud your judgment on this. If it seems fishy, and it smells fishy, there's probably fish in there.

Red Baron, was a good movie.


Problems with it: Not enough air plane action. Too much ground drama. Not precisely historically accurate, but pretty well done. Not enough Boelke and Udet!

Overall, I loved it. I'm a huge WWI Aviation nerd, so between this movie and Flyboys, I now have most of the WWI movie action I desire. Next, though, they need to chronicle Rickenbacker and his Hat-in-Ring squadron. But they definitely do not need to make a movie about Rene Foncke. No offense to any frogs, but Foncke was an arrogant schmuck. A great pilot, and he probably shot down more enemy aircraft than Von Richtofen, but still an A-Hole.

Rickenbacker's book: "Fighting the Flying Circus" is a great read, and I recommend it to anyone who is in the least interested in WWI aviation.

Thats a tough thing to know. I experienced the same thing with my granny, we could just see she got worse through the months.
Whats wrong with your grandpa?... its still half a year.. treasure it!

He's old. Heart Disease, Diabetes, and multiple stroke potential blood clots don't help.

So how does it work in practice? You go from small local airfield to small local airfield and drive the rest of the way to your destination? I can't believe they'll allow you to take of and land on the road!

I'm assuming it's kerosine fueled, is that really efficient for the part when you drive on the ground?

Right? We barely trust people driving, now we are going to hand them a plane that drives on the road and see how that goes. At least it costs close to $200k, so the average moron (myself included) won't be crashing one onto the freeway anytime soon.

dude treasure school...it only gets worse!




So I'm happy with the news today, last night there was a mass protest (police say 20k, organizers say 50k) against this universal suffrage itinerary - because for some reason HK locals think Communist China is going to allow democracy to flourish in what is one of the biggest economical centres in China...

Seriously locals who I talk to have no idea about China and educating them on Tienanmen can be really wrong to do (esp. when they get all defensive about it).

But it's good to see they're beginning to take a stance against Legco and Donald Tsang and combined with the mass riots happenin in mainland china I'm hoping to see the Red nation implode in the next couple of years.

Talked to my boss, they're going to pay me for the weekends I worked AND not going to charge me for the refund charge.

So combined with 9 days extra after notice + 4 saturdays I recover all the losses from my study leave and make up a day!!

Course I have a 1500 smoking fee that needs to be paid today or it bumps to 5000 which is going to be an issue as I can't get to the post office...crap...

OH and I found I had 250AUD in my bank account there (which I though I'd closed...) so even more spending monies for next weekend!!

So the boss had a talk to me today because I've "been quiet for the last 3-4 days and I wanted to make sure you were ok"

Anyway.

So the 300 refund charge isn't being charged to me anymore (I feel sorry for my manager who is paying all 600...)
I'm going to get paid for the 5 saturdays (incl tomorrow) that I've worked overtime (full day) for free...
I'm also being given a refund for my OWN tickets to Australia in which I paid RSP instead of Agent Nett (kind a felt wrong paying no profit to my company at the time) so combined with the next 6 days of work before I leave I'll recover all the losses from the 12 days Study Leave and make a couple k more.

Glad I didn't walk out like I wanted too on monday or tuesday. Now I just need to get that reference.

Oh and June the Bitch I got to splag all over her today by reporting that our main  Indian Supply hated her guts (which is true). Best day in the office in AGES...even though it is 7pm on a friday and I'm still writing invoices - such is life I guess.

Evening and morning are the right and left sides of our brain, the creative and the analytical, both of which we need to organise, process and advance our lives.

I strongly disagree with this, being an evening person who is strongly analytical.

Furthermore,

My earlier research showed that they tend to get better grades in school, which gets them into better colleges, which then leads to better job opportunities.

Been to NYC many times, the most recent a couple of weeks back passing through, if ti can ever be called that with all the traffic.  We stopped to show the lady friend's son the statue of liberty from the Jersey side.  Closest one can get without getting into the water.  It was a gorgeous afternoon, lots of folks flying kites and enjoying picinic lunches in the park, and the sun shining on the statue and showing off the city sky line as well.

Good for you - no more worrying about the wife taking chemicals or mini-raincoats!

I had it done over 20 years ago, and on a physio table in a clinic - in and out in about 30 minutes.
Got irritated a few days later and couldn't be bothered to wait for the doc, so pulled the stitches out myself ...................

My boss got it done about a year ago.

You have to go back and get checked up to see how it progressed - he went back (about 6 months later) and found out he still had swimmers in his tubes. And that they can stick around in the tubes for quite some time afterwards.

Be careful.

At least they suffered something like an equaliser when it comes to magic. The downgrading to terror isn't to their benefit, either. And the availability of flaming attacks hurts their anvil-blocks.

They still have their flamers, bloodhounds etc. though.

Indeed. A boatload of really pretty pics in there, of all the armies. I really, really like this book. Even if my very own personal copy is still taking it's sweet time to arrive from far away misty Britain.

WoC is the new powerhouse, gentlemen.
WoC have certainly received a massive boost, but most of their troops are still very expensive and still die like any other infantryman to the new magic. I've seen them take brutal casualties from the likes of "final transmutation".
On the other hand, a fat unit of Chosen pretty much ate whatever it contacted.

Okay, lots of stuff to comment on.

Yes Fandir, we got alot of goodies, but i dont think we are a power house. Our infantry is still meh compared to alot else.

Regarding the heroes. No in smaller games such as 1000 and 1500 I cant field as many heroes as i would like. I like to gear them up with magic items.

WoC really got a superb boost.
Give them mark of tzentch and a sorcerer with magic resistance and they have a good save against magic and a 5+ ward save in close combat.

Soth I gave up against WoC in turn 3 or 4 last time.. It happens, especially with new rules.

Okay, lots of stuff to comment on.

Yes Fandir, we got alot of goodies, but i dont think we are a power house. Our infantry is still meh compared to alot else.

Regarding the heroes. No in smaller games such as 1000 and 1500 I cant field as many heroes as i would like. I like to gear them up with magic items.

WoC really got a superb boost.
Give them mark of tzentch and a sorcerer with magic resistance and they have a good save against magic and a 5+ ward save in close combat.

Soth I gave up against WoC in turn 3 or 4 last time.. It happens, especially with new rules.

First to satisfy the thread I had a really great weekend with the warhammer weib.....only downside we watched two very evil depressing movies.

Other than that it was leisure time.

On the note of Warriors of Chaos. Those guys have no shooting? Just shoot them to smithereens.

I will be cleaning oil soaked wildlife.  Yes.  If any oil soaked wildlife crawls up on the beach and by the pool, I'll pour a margarita on it and kick it into the poll so the chlorine water can clean them.

Just doin my part for nature.  :)

Kicker table?

You mean a Foosball table. I'm a fan of the foosball. I used to play a lot, but have fallen out of the habit (because I switched jobs and my new job does not have a foosball table in the breakroom).
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gneisenau on July 29, 2010, 11:10:47 AM
Who would have thought that it was called "foosball" in English? Not me, that's who.

But yes, that's what I mean. Little did it surprise me when I learned that it was invented in England.

We have one at work here, and I used to play it with my GF. I became quite good over time, I think. After a hundred games or so, I came actually close to managing a draw.

So after being told I'm drinking too much (by just about everyone I know on separate occasions) I just poured the last of my Jim Beam down the drain. Threw my smokes out and ....gasp...my drugs.

Got a big as fark bag of chewing gum and some nicorete lozenges. Let see how this weekend goes.

Listening to the London Symphony Orchestra playing "Final Countdown" has me quite pumped as well.

I was able to combine two of my favorite activities twice in one day: Effing around at work and harassing my coworkers.

One female was looking for jobs online for when she gets out of the Army. I told her I found a good one for her and sent her this in a Word document:

Quote
Wanted: A prospective Vampire Hunter

Hours: A vampire can strike at any time, and so must a Vampire Hunter be ever ready to strike back

Salary: Negotiable, plus a bounty for every vampire destroyed
 
Position overview: Despite Hollywood trying to convince us that vampires are harmless whiny emo dickheads who like to pick up high school chicks, the reality is vampires walk the Earth preying upon the living. These undead monstrosities must be stopped. By whom? That could be you. Ask yourself the following questions:

Do you hate the walking dead?
Do you like holy water, wooden stakes and garlic?
Do you want to wear a top hat and cape without people laughing at you?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might have what it takes to be a Vampire Hunter! Fill out the application and return it to us. We will review it and determine if you are ready to attend Vampire Hunter’s Academy. This two-week course will prepare you for the rigors of vampire slaying and teach you everything you need to know about this time-honored profession.


And the second time, my boss (a major) asked me to write up some text for an email to be sent to the whole brigade about a volunteer program we are developing for a local school. He should know better than to ask me to do something he can easily do himself. I wrote this:

Quote
The Lunch Buddy Program is designed to turn America’s disaffected youth into killing machines for freedom. Soldiers will spend an hour with their lunch buddy every week teaching them to love freedom, hate terrorists, and operate firearms. The liberal media wants you to think guns, red meat and American flags are bad, but we all know that’s what makes America great. Anything we can do to instill these values into young Americans will only help us in the long run, and hurt the terrorists. The reality of the situation is that terrorists come from squalid third-world shit holes, and freedom comes from America which is, as we all know, the only real first-world country. Once these kids learn the truth, they’ll be tripping all over each other trying to stick a bayonet in the first terrorist they see.


He laughed and told me to write a real one, which I did.

I have only a spartan chair, table and an old computer - damn delays with my new furniture and tech stuff, but all in all it feels good to be in a completely new building we own and to our own design (well sorta, there was this irrelevant architecht...).

Hope you don't mind me saying ... spend sometime away from dating the ladies, and focus on yourself for a bit.  When you aren't being bothered by them, you can figure out what you're looking for in a woman, beyond the sexual side of things.  Then you can get back into the dating world, reject those that don't meet your standards, and find one that does.  At the same time, balance this by setting priorities in what you are looking for, realizing that the perfect female isn't really out there.

Hopefully thats helpful.

Nice! My vacation is almost over. Though I shouldn't complain after 3 months. How old are your kids anyway?

The vacation after graduation, it's probably the longest vacation you'll ever have during your life, unless one would call unemployment (not likely for a doctor) or retirement a vacation.

My oldest is a boy of 2.5 years old, just learned to ride a bike with side wheels and a well of endless enthousiasm. And let's not forget cuteness, last week he was standing next to me in the kitchen while I was making preperations for cooking and he was shooing away a fly with "Go away you! Go away you!", only to add "I didn't mean you daddy, I meant the fly.". Meanwhile he likes to test his boundaries which can occasionally make him extremely irritating but so far he's found his parents to form a rather unyielding block to any whimsical demands.

My daughter is 1 year old. Walks around by holding the table or couch though she does stand up with no support in the middle of the room. She'll probably truly walk very soon now. Meanwhile she has just learned her first words 'mama' and 'papa' (unlike our treacherous son who started with 'opa' and 'oma') and tries to use one or both of those words to make complete sentences. It's amazing in how she manages to pronounce 'mama' in so many different ways. The most hilarious being a very disaffected "MAH-MAH!!" which makes her look like an angry muppet. :icon_lol:

I'm extremely glad with my kids! I'm also extremely glad I waited with having kids and first went to university, and that we lived together for a while before marrying and having kids etc.

My son was born in 2008, I was 31 at the moment and my wife 29. A good time in life to have kids I think. We made a very conscious decision about having kids and what it would entail for our personal life. Some schoolmates from highschool went the almost immediate marriage + kids track and I always got the impression they weren't really ready for it. They managed of course, though not all did so as well as they could, and it's the relation/kids that suffers in the end.

Yep, there are quite a few of us over there.  The pre-game is down to a dull roar at the moment, but we're under the impression that the 1st Turn will be starting soon.  I suspect there will be less time spent here than there once it really gets cranking.

i dont know i'll only have 23 Kossars (not exactly sure what I can use them as counts-as in my empire army either). No idea how I get more models as much as I love the Winged lancer. I mean I guess I could do an Empire Mk2 army instead of another race...

I mean they're still in their original packaging and everything!

Suppose you might find folks selling them over the internet.

You could also convert more, the newest additon of archers/huntsmen have a bunch of heads that could be collected over time, and even their bodies could work.

Then again, maybe just having a few units of them for "counts as" is a place to use them.  That way, if you don't end up with more, at least you still have put those to good use. :icon_cool:

- - - - - -

Good news!

I've been informed that my shock troops order form Wargames factory has arrived at a retail store I purchased them from.

Very excited about getting these.  I got 3 boxes plus an extra sprue as one of the pre-order deals, which means I can make something like 57 guys.  I'm thinking of making two seperate forces for initial use as skirmish sci-fi gaming, yet might turn these into an IG force at some point as well.

Finally got to play Warhammer Roleplay (2nd edition) last night. I was a human vagabond and the biggest coward my group's ever seen. It was really fun to be on the player side of the table for a change. By not having to make sure every NPC encountered was at least a bit interesting, I could really go all out with my character and we had a few good laughs on his cowardly antics. It was a test with another GM (a friend of mine from the Netherlands who came over for a few days), so we can't really continue this game, but I definetely wouldn't say no to a WHRP campaign being started in my group.

Also, I went to a Streetlight Manifesto gig on Monday! :::cheers:::

After a hiatus do to moving house, I am back on W-E !!!  Still don't have time to hobby yet but, our new house is 4 times as large as our old one, so I have both a gaming room and hobby room in the basement!  I have a 8'x4' gaming table to work on now.  But first, I have to get a few rooms done setting up how the Mrs wants them. 

@ CoD
My son was cute today too, he meant to say pants and instead, he ended up saying "OOH, I'm gonna pee my pence!"  I asked him what he said, and he said, "You know, pence, what you wear when you don't wear shorts!"  We both had a good laugh at that.

I'll try not to bore you guys with too many "cute son" stories.  (Toddler years are awesome!)  But, today, when I was pulling up a Batman video online for my son to watch, he was sitting in the chair in front of the computer, and I said, "Move buddy, so daddy can sit down and get you a batman show."  His response.  *Pats leg with palm*  "Its ok, you can sit on me....have a seat big guy!"  I couldn't help but laugh despite having a migraine....

I used to sail a 'valk' (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valk_(boot)) (Dutch-only boat), but I'm now progressing to catamaran and J22. The J22 competition is tonight, I have no catamaran experience so I won't be racing with those for a long time. I'm still sailing in the valk, but not as much as I used to.

We sail on a variety of Dutch lakes, but tonight we're sailing on the Braassemmermeer (http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&q=&vps=3&jsv=270a&sll=52.187826,4.667816&sspn=0.149443,0.305901&ie=UTF8&geocode=FfxlHAMdP_NGAA&split=0). If I do well enough the coming weeks I'll be selected for the competition team, which means I'll also get to do international competitions all over the world, including the world championships.

While in Basic, it is 24/7 my hide is planted there. All of it will most likely be a living hell.

Text School, I get to have weekends off and the atmosphere is more like collage. I'll be in texas for the next year roughly. My home is back here in Pennsylvania, but with modern day Tech' its easy as hell to keep in contact with friends and family. Not only, I look forward to seeing a few friends down in Texas!

I have Basic training in Lackland Air base, right nere San Antionio, while I have Text school in Goodfella, nere San Angelo!

I can see it now.

        The professor leans back in his chair, he quickly looks down, his hands hidden by his large desk. A few clicks and a beep latter, everyone's phone goes off as a chorus of mass texts hit the class.

Sorry, for getting Text and Tech confused, its what I get for typing fast in the morning and not previewing my work.

As for you Big time, remember, Air Force is here for when Army Strong just isn't good enough.  :biggriin:

Every branch of service is ridiculed based on it's quality of life. Being a marine is shitty, so they get ridiculed the least. Next is Army, who only get ridiculed for not having the brains to get into the other branches. Then the Navy, because they are seamen. And finally, the Air Force, because all the good looking females are there, and all the best jobs are there.

I know. And I was in Constantia, the safe area. I can't imagine what the rough areas of JOburg are like.

Seeing those prices I think I got a good deal on them paying the fees.

But they get the discount because of my scholarship. GRRRRR.

Though I don't really speak any French.

Don't worry, the Belgian royals tend not to speak French either. :icon_razz:

I know the Belgian royals speak French, I was just poking a bit of fun about the country being so clearly divided along the language lines. With royalty that means you've got to speak both languages absolutely fluently otherwise the other half of the country feels slighted.
Which the people still tend to feel whenever there is a speech made for a mixed crowd and the royal speaks 'that other language'. ::heretic::

It was only an MA diss, so 20k, and then you get 10% either way. Mine was 21930 or something like that.

I usually play on very low fantasy cons, with no rulebook (just common sense), with little magic and little in the way of fantastic creatures.

This event was a veritable zoo.

With PLENTY of rulebook-maxed characters. Oh man... I hate cons like that. You land a beautiful hit on someone and he juts shrugs it off because he has hit points left. Argh! This ain't TT roleplaying or Warhammer! If you wear no armor and I cleanly hit you in the ribs with my spear YOU GO DOWN! In my opinion. But I won't complain too loudly, there was still plenty of drinking, singing and general having-fun with the members of my group that were there.

 :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

We've made the conscious decision that given our current situation we won't have any more children. We would need a bigger house for instance, a bigger car and lot's of other expenses would need to be made. Except for the house these should be able to be realised but our financial situation would go from 'comfortable' to 'tight'. Something we want to avoid at all cost.

So, unless our financial situation would seriously improve (unlikely) we'll be happyw ith the 2 we've got and give them all the love, attention and material support we can. :icon_biggrin:

In our wildest pipedreams though we live in a huge mansion and my wife produces babies untill she actually doesn't want to anymore, while we're supported by a good number of au pairs, cleaners etc. :icon_mrgreen:

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on October 17, 2010, 08:12:35 AM
Ironically I thought the team as a whole actually looked better under Forcier. I think he's the better quarterback, while Robinson is the better all around player. He has the athletic talent to do well almost anywhere. The game was quite close, and had Molk (our center) not gotten injured it would have been much closer. Without the missed (of course) field goal and the INT in the endzone in the first it was a tie game.

The Buckeyes loosing, and loosing decisively at that, made this an almost great day though. I still think Michigan will go 8-4, which is tons better than the last two years.

Also, the past couple have games have proven that Rich Rod is a very conservative play caller, not something that works well with the talent we have. It's quite obvious that going for on 4th and less than 3 is almost a sure shot, and he just doesn't seem to realize it. He also somehow managed to burn almost a minute at the end of the first half for no reason at all. We were about on the 35 with a minute 30 some left, possible if not a sure thing. And he just ran the clock.

Well I've been working in a supermarket mostly on the customer service desk since there was no decent work around. With the town only being around 23,000 people you tend to see alot of the same guys and I happened to mention to a woman I see semi regularly that I had a degree. - Every week you're allways going to get someone asking what you are studying. A few days later a guy comes in tells me that she'd spoken to him and asks me for my email/cv and arranges an informal interview for a new position at a big international printing company. They offered it to me the day after the meeting without a proper formal interview. It was quite lucky really as for the last two months i've been working upstairs away from the checkout desk doing systems work. (basically fixing all the ordering flaws errors that people make. I found 400 pieces of advertising missing this week. Incredibly frustrating.) Happened to be down there covering a break.

The money isn't fantastic but they don't have trolleys or old people. I've been promoted twice since I started and gained no real monetary benefit for the harder work they give me so anything is better! A trolley pusher or staff canteen worker gets the same wage as me and I regularly spend £40,000 a week of their cash.

Had some nice sailing this weekend, think I have something of a chance to get selected for the competition team this weekend now. :)

Where did you sail and what competition?

I was in Oxford for the big meet there on the 16th and 17th.

It was fun, though my teammate always came last.

Netherlands, practice on the Braassemermeer. If I make the team (which will be decided this weekend) I'll get to sail all over the world :) It;s a J22, so no real sea-sailing, for that I need to go with the Yacht.

Nice vessel. How many crew it.

I hope you get in.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Obi on October 25, 2010, 03:58:26 PM
We sail with a four man crew, but it can also be done with 3. We've got two teams, so in total there are 8 spots, of which probably 5 are vacant.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: red bull on October 25, 2010, 06:25:36 PM
Those seem like quite good odds.

I can't sail offshore racers until I'm in 6th form.

At the moment I'm stuck in Fireflies and Fevas.

Though I do get the occasional sail in my Dads Moody 45 DSe, such a nice boat, especially as he got a 40% discount.

I found out why melanomas do not harbour mutations in beta-catenin in contrast to colon cancer. So, not really anything that helps to cure cancer, our hypothesis was that beta-catenin mutations should lead to tumour progression, but they don't...

I normally don't go on-line with stuff like this but some months ago I started having back ache problems that escalated into a much worse condition and it ended up with me not being able to walk at all.

The problem?

A big tumor pressing on my spine.   :icon_eek:

After being localized for nine days with treatmet I am able to stand up, sit up, walk very slowly with aid, and the two scans are showing my tumor is isolated in this region. I will get both radio therapy and cemo and some new stuff that is very effective. But I have already made progress even if I am cautiously optimistic.

I'll get home today so I will probably be hanging around here quite a bit again - somewhat nicer to you folks.

The penalty called on Desean Jackson was a bad one. He got flagged for excessive celebration, which is not the right call. He was not in the end zone, and had not scored, so it was perfectly legal for him to land on the ground, even to fall over.

Should have been a taunting penalty though, because that is clearly what he is doing.

As for good news. The latest series of blood tests have finally turned something up. My wife has several deficiencies in the nutritional department (while eating regularly and healthy enough). This tells them that probably something is wrong with her stomach and/or bowels. She's scheduled for 2 internal camera looky-look-see procedures the 1st of February.

When my boss asked me if they were in a carnival I snapped.

Lots of things suitable for VC. :icon_cool:

The only WHFB model is a Corpse Cart though... the VC range isn't among GW's best, I'm afraid.

You think so? I think it has a lot of gorgeous models - the basic skellies are pretty damn good, the Ghouls I like too, the Von Carstein characters are pure eyecandy, as are the Blood Knights. Those are a -bit- expensive though... but nice nevertheless.

But hey, to each his own. What range are you using instead?

Okay, that sounded harsher than I meant it to be. I like the cart, agree on the skeletons, Konrad is great, and so is the Grave Guard. Varghulf is decent, too.

I never liked the Blood Knights much, so I've ordered the Gamezone Mournful Knights, which are excellent (and actually cheaper for once). LotR Morgul Knights will substitute Black Knights, provided that the size doesn't cause too much problems; I have yet to see that in real life. Mantic ghouls for the GW ones, because I don't want to spend time on removing skulls (I like the GW ghouls otherwise); the same for zombies. Gamezone DE harpies as stand-ins for Fell Bats, LotR Bat Swarms for the WHFB ones (as the WHFB bat models are hideous).

If everything turns out like I want it, and if I don't feel too ashamed of the result, I will post pictures here.

11.44m. I've hit 13.50 in the past, but I've been struggling with my runup this season and been limited to high 10s. Got another meet Thursday, so hoping I can work up to about the 12.50 mark.

Settra sucks ass and has died by my Tyrant's wrath alone many a times.

The casket and the priests are worse, but when I hit the combat line it is all over.

Lost 13 kilos the first two weeks, then gained almost as much during the rest.

Never experienced any vomiting triggers at all, even if I have been feeling like shit for a while now.

It is not something I have to do, but it is a weapon to be used against my nemesis should she return in the future. This is then saved in a cell bank should the cancer return to do battle once again. I said yes of course.

As you can imagine, today was a good day so thanks.

Back to my WAAAGH!  :biggriin:

It's a trap.  They just want to harvest your cells so they can clone you and sell cheap copies.

May I suggest Super Red Miracle Formula Anti-Oxident Super Greens Earth Mineral Nutritional Supplements.  It only heals EVERYTHING and it's 100% natural.

BTW, cheers on the win!  Whoo whoo

I guess that cell harvest is taking white blood cells out of your system, priming them against an antigene expressed by the cancer cells and then freezing them? So, if the cancer should come back you have ready-to-inject immune cells to attack the cancer.
That kind of therapy ist still being developed, but the results are promising. Actually it works pretty well, we are trying to create tumors that are immune to this therapy at the moment, but the primed immune cells are too good, they kill off the whole tumor...

Sure, you can hope that they are harvesting  cells for you own good, but I warned ya.  You'll remember that as you lie on floor, feeling the blood ooze around your head... looking up at your own face.  You turn to the side and see the Robot Overlord chuckling in that annoying in 1950's sci fi movie voice.  You'll remember... then you won't ever again.

Happy And Random Thought:

Doctor Who!



I was surprised at how powerful the Dalek episode in the "first series" of the new Who was. It was an emotional roller coaster ride! When Chris Eccleston is all like: "I'm the Doctor and I'm here to help you!", and he slowly realizes what he's looking at. Well done! I'm a late comer to Doctor Who (the new ones anyway) so, I know it's old hat, but I'm getting into it now.

Happy and random thought: Simple Green on metal miniatures works great. After about 18 hours, the paint can be peeled off easily. If the miniature has a painted face, and if you peel carefully, you can get a creepy mini face-mask which you can put elsewhere. You feel like Hannibal Lecter en miniature. "Hasdrubal Pupil", maybe? Anyway, it's fun.

I just finished Crysis 2's campaign, and I finished the final boss fight (which wasn't particularly tough, but did require quick thinking and acting) by cloaking, running away from the enemy, then power kicking a car at them, they dodged, at which point I set off the C4 attached to the car and blew them all sky high.

Shrine of Storms from memory. Very easy world! Obviously you've killed the Fire Demon and can upgrade your gear, right? And you rely on melee, with only the occasional missile spell, right? Spells are mostly bad early on. It's all about sidestepping a big lunge and doing a backstab. Pull enemies out of line of sight of the archers on the walls, wait for the lunge or roll (from say a black skeleton) and go for it. The worlds don't have to be done in order. I assume you did the Dragon God in world 2 and finished it. If not, go there and level up that way.

You would know if you'd done the Dragon God. You have to run behind pillars as he smashes them and then launch bolt throwers into his head. World 2 is the fire world. The Fire Demon whose soul unlocks the upgrading blacksmith guards the way.

If you haven't unlocked the ability to upgrade your gear you'll get trashed. You need to unlock it. It's the first thing to do after beating 1-1.

Tbh I felt a bit tempted today, too, when I saw them in the GW store. Luckily, I have spent too much money on empire and VC recently, so I could control myself.

I believe that's just out yes? That means it's probably only available in hardcover yet, I'll wait until it's out in softcover then.

I actually got Shogun 2 to run for some hours yesterday evening and I am impressed - I played on very hard to start with (hey, I've played ALL TW games, I thought I knew this shit rather well) and promptly had my ass handed to me. Soundly.

I then restarted on normal to learn the ropes, and it's still challenging! I'm really impressed. I actually lost a battle or two at first - on normal! Unimaginable. I really was totally dumbstruck: I lost a battle to the AI on normal, with roughly equal forces. In a Total War game. I think that hadn't happened to me since MTW1.
Sure, the AI still doesn't perform miracles and it was the second or third battle I had played in total, but the Computer does seem to be at least decent now. It deploys in deep formations, suicides less and generally seems to know what it is doing.

Will have to play this further to form a good opinion, but so far: I am intrigued. If it doesn't start crashing on me again that is.

I'd like to play at least one campaign to conclusion before I embarass myself online.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Aldaris on April 14, 2011, 06:34:05 PM
That I immediately lost with? Oda. Then I started a Date campaign, which went okay-ish, but I was too slow I felt. Didn't know the pitfalls to avoid yet, so by the time I had captured my third province Takeda already ruled the whole strip south of me, 7 or 8 provinces. And since I was allied with them and didn't fancy either my chances of taking them or the prospect of having a divided realm by naval invading further west, I restarted as Shimazu this evening. Which is going fairly well so far (the first 5 turns that is...).

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Aldaris on April 15, 2011, 09:11:17 AM
Couple of turns only with the Oda. Lost important battles, and that was it. The battles are - how do I put this? They "flow" differently from previous titles. Faster, more immediate. I am getting used to it now, I wasn't then.#

Played a bit more as Shimazu yesterday. I own all of Kyushu now (except for Higa, which I graciously accepted as a vassal province). Setting my eyes east on the Chosokabe now I think.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Fandir Nightshade on April 15, 2011, 10:17:19 AM
If you are not allied with them slaughter them. You get lumber, stone and horses those provinces are increadible important if you can get your greedy fingers on them.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Aldaris on April 15, 2011, 11:26:31 AM
Don't have lumber and stone yet so yeah, that's one aspect of it. The second aspect is that it's another island, so 4 more provinces that are relatively secure. That'll give me a very solid base to expand onto the mainland. I'll just have to be careful to keep my navy strong enough to repulse would-be invaders.

For the last ten turns or so I've just been sitting more or less idle and upgrading the shit out of Kyushu. Starting to bring the army of my principal general up to a full stack now, and when that's done it'll be Chosokabe bashing time.

I have a copy of the multiplayer game called Shogun, by Milton Bradley if I recall correctly.  Does that count?

It came out so far back, like when the first edition of Axis & Allies came out in a similar box at the same time.

The Shogun game is actually quite fun to play.  Its for 2 -5 players with lots of small plastic ancient japenese soldiers, probably 20 to 25 mm.

Real Madrid just won the Copa Del Rey, in the final against Barca.

I'm not actually a fan of either team. But after the humiliation in the first game, I predicted that Mourinho would tell his boys to hold back a little in the second because the national championship was lost anyway. Instead, they saved their strength for the knockout-games.

Nice to see Mr Evil pulling it off again. :icon_biggrin:

Would be extremely hilarious if the Champions League final was Real vs. Schalke...

Yes, Real was much closer yesterday than I would have thought. They had better chances than Barca even, and they seem to have worked out how to defend against Pep's boys.

Even on paper, ManU is definitely better than Schalke on every position except GK.

But I would like to see Raul playing against Real in a CL-final. I would also like to see a Casillas v. Neuer penalty shootout...

I am the last person to hear news about everything. To give the example that brought me to this conclusion-

Approximately 10 minutes ago, I am on YouTube. I happen to glance up at the YouTube logo, and see that it is not as it normally is. Mousing over it, it says "Watch live coverage and footage of the Royal Wedding."

This was the first time I had heard that there even was a Royal Wedding of any sort.

11 years ago, I went out with my now wife for the very first time.


And she lets me invite my gaming buddies for the weekend. I love that woman.

Coming from the man who just stated he's not attending the Eurobash because his wife is "Dr. No", I regard that as a compliment.

I am the last person to hear news about everything. To give the example that brought me to this conclusion-

Approximately 10 minutes ago, I am on YouTube. I happen to glance up at the YouTube logo, and see that it is not as it normally is. Mousing over it, it says "Watch live coverage and footage of the Royal Wedding."

This was the first time I had heard that there even was a Royal Wedding of any sort.

You do realize this is the male equivalent of a woman saying, "I have never seen Star Wars."  :)

So in the interests of you have relationships with females, here are some stock answers.

1. Kate (always use Kate) seems like a smart girl.  It's good to see the Monarchy going for a college educated woman instead of a girl.
2. Of course the wedding dress had a train.  It's a royal wedding after all.
3. Hopefully William is more like his Mom and not a boob like his father.  (Oh, that can be taken so many ways).
4. I thought Camillia looked striking.  (I dare you to go for that one).

If the girl asks about the dress, then change the subject to something neutral.  Maybe, "You don't look fat at all in those jeans."  That change the subject quickly.

Open this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi54WXIoDas&NR=1). Mute.

Open this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryv8_TqAVvw). Play in background while you watch the other video.

In all seriousness, you will never see anything more awesome in your entire life. And, although this shouldn't need to be proven, you will have firmly established that virtually nothing can not be made epic if you set it to anything by Two Steps From Hell.

Not that Rainbow Dash isn't already awesome.

Post by: Shadowlord on May 01, 2011, 06:54:05 PM
Back in the gaming saddle again - 5 battles in ten days!  :::cheers:::

The first two was against O&G and VC and while I lost both, I had a blast even if my old tactical accumen with Ogres was somewhat rusty. Destroyed the VC army except the general unit of grave guards holding the watch tower, and against O&G I was too respectful against his horde.

I also managed to get a game with my Necrons against Orks and oddly enough managed a draw (thanks Flayed ones and turbo boosting contesting destroyers) though I have to admit, my opponent had a soft list.

I was able battle the VC and O&G again today and with the rust taken care of, shrimp salad of their armies. Great battles and the Ogres feasted on both green flesh and rotten flesh. What really tickled my jingles was a friend who hadn't played in long time's Empire force. MUST HAVE! I didn't face him but I was really inspired by his painting and playing the army.

One day... :icon_cool:

I played Portal this afternoon for the first time. I put about an hour and a half into it, and I am at the spot where you have to fight Glados. I died once fighting her, and then I had to pick up my boy from day care. Do you guys know how much is left in the game? Is this fight with Glados the end?
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on May 04, 2011, 05:29:41 AM
Hour and a half first time through? Impressive. I can do it in about 2 now, but that's because thats the only game that gives me headaches regularly. I can only play it for about an hour before I can stop.

Yes, that's the end. Get Portal 2! I need someone from here to play with. There are a bunch of deals on it right now. Pretty sure Best Buy has it for $30 (all versions).

I didn't know an hour and a half was good. I'm pretty good at spatial reasoning, so that probably gave me an edge. They're not difficult puzzles. The only place I got stuck at was the one level with the small duct entrance that was up off the ground. Took me 5 minutes of jumping and crouching before I was smart enough to stack up the computers from the other room to get in.

My brother in law is buying Portal 2, so I should be borrowing it from him within the next couple of days.

the real reason I came to this thread though is that I had not just one good interview today but 2!!! both for graphic design jobs that in spite of neither being able to keep me full time are 2 blocks from each other are ok with me working for the other company.  one is a sign and vinyl graphics shop the other is an ad agency and newspaper (no conflict) AAAAAAAND it looks like I can do a lot of the work from home too, while pursuing self employed contracts, with much higher margins for me, than working for either company.  YAY!!!!  add to that that in case the self employed gig is taking too long to get off the ground reliably either job has the potential to go full time as my post school CS5 computer skills get faster and improve. 

I'm going in for second interviews on next Monday.   


Maybe one day I'll be able to come to the eurobash.

not entirely sure. my 1st option is keep dropping the weight etc. and go for the navy again in April, I qualified as an officer back in 09 but didn't pass the physical side of things. The alternate is if the weight loss isn't going to plan then in august I'll reactivate my enrollment at University of London and resume my law degree.

In the short term i'm taking June off and will do some commission painting for some easy cash. I have a mate who wants me to join him in selling china made suits to the US and Australia and the guy makes some seriously good money doing it but then he's also really fucking shifty and just got hit with a 160,000 credit card bill and 120,000 tax penalty so going into business with him is probably not a smart idea.  I also recently had a big talk with a gent named Paul who is the GW head of emerging markets (so like 2nd or 3rd on the GW rung of executives etc.) and TJ head of Asian sales. They want to open a new shop in Hong kong in the next couple of years as they're opening on in Shanghai in a few weeks and probably one in Singapore in a year.

Not to mention there is a very large untapped market in hong kong with about 60 members of the Hong Kong Society of Wargamers who play historicals but have to order everything online, many of the guys in the shop I work at hate my manager as much as I do and are all buying or making their own gaming tables so a new shop may secure them as well.

So really I have no idea whatsoever. Think about it over the next month and a half.

Oh that said I'm also really famous in certain circles now!! I'm in a computer game (a really shit one) but the sequal is being made now and I'm going to be a main character in it.

you can see it around the 13th minute in this link here (a run through of the entire game).  written by some school mates of mine lol...  FYI NSFW swearing and drug references http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPPtdTVk2go

Oh yeah, Portal2 was great. I'm so glad I played it. A buddy of mine came over last Sunday night and we knocked out the co-op campaign. The single player is pretty fascinating too. Very in depth story built off of the initial game. I was impressed. The co-op was amazing. The way we had to work together to solve puzzles was great, and on some of the very difficult ones we got a huge boost of excitement when we finally figured them out.

We were plang online risk on steam and some americans were getting annoyed at myself and my flatmate at being "aussie bastards" and not attacking each other.

So naturally I played Rolf Harris at full volume down the microphone.

Had my first game with Lucius. The Guild Guard rocked, the Lawyer did nothing. I'm not painting him next now.

Maybe the lawyer did nothing because he was unpainted, and the GG rocked because they were?

A reasonable assumption, with one flaw: models which are played the first time after painting usually suck.

The GG worked so well due to some combinations in my list making them... nasty...

That and Lucius puppet mastering them into rapid firing machineguns was hilarious. 2 shots normally a turn, I got 8 shots out of one in one go... I love playing as the "Authority".  :engel:

I had my first Black Phantom in Demon's Souls today. After killing the 3 Red-eye Knights in 1-3 for me (I'd been having trouble with them), presumably so he'd get more souls when he killed me, we engaged in a 30 minute battle that went over nearly the entire stage before I killed him. I am no longer afraid of being invaded by Black Phantoms (I know I'll regret saying that).
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: MrDWhitey on May 23, 2011, 09:30:11 PM
Black Phantoms make the game in my opinion.

I invaded someone and spent 20 minutes firing MAGIC MISSILES at them as they fired MAGIC MISSILES at me, but we always dodged each others MAGIC MISSILES just before they hit.

Then we ran out of mana and beat each other up with our wands.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Sig on May 24, 2011, 01:26:58 AM
Black phantoms are pretty cool. It does get annoying if you're spammed by the same guy finding your game when he can't handle a loss. My brother had the same guy invade 10 times in a row, and the guy was terrible, my brother started fighting him with monsters aggroed just to keep it interesting.

What I love is the way you can fully determine what you character does and how you progress through the game, and the unique monster attack patterns of course.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on May 24, 2011, 03:29:42 AM
You know, the mechanics of this game are really amazingly good. The fighting is so much fun that I don't mind if I die 10 times in a row. If they were the least bit faulty, it would simply be a huge drag. But they aren't, and now I need to get back to farming dragonstone chunks.

Also, how do I survive that lava pit in 2-2? I know I can as there are items in there, but even with the Brushwood armor and two rings of flame resistance I can't survive long enough to reach them.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Sig on May 24, 2011, 05:24:10 AM
I guess it's possible you just need more health. I got the Purple shield from either 1-1 or 1-2, I forget, and cast Flame Veil if memory serves. I didn't get everything because the fat lava slugs were hanging around and cutting off the way back. Not that big a deal anyway. Did you get the flaming longsword from one of the caves?

And yeah, the game is just so tight and well made. I would have preferred it if the controls were a little more responsive around ledges, sometimes had a few falls that felt a bit clunky to avoid, but apart from that can't fault the system at all.

I DID guess. AND I figured out that the baby was not really there when they "rescued" her. And I also guessed why the child in episode 2 regenerated without the Doctor knowing that she was a Time Lord. I still have SO many questions.

Quote
Who was that weird welsh alien with no neck?
Those were aliens that owed Doctor Who from back in the day. And with the Doctor, back in the day can literally be any day, so they're not necessarily characters that ever appeared on the show before. Interesting interaction between him and Rory. It's really nice to see Rory being a badass, and I totally understand his uncontrolled weeping with the child. Any father does. I root for him almost more than the Doctor.


I REALLY liked the Doctor's reaction when he figured it out. Matt Smith is a genius with physical comedy. Maybe not the best dramatic actor (though he's pretty good) but his physical performance reminds me of Peter Sellers. Just on purpose bumbling that is endearing and entertaining.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!

I quite like Matt too, but never having watched the tennant series I don't have the same reference point others do.

You're robbing yourself if you don't watch the first 4 Series before Matt Smith. Eccleston is pretty brilliant as the doctor as well. You can skip a great deal of the Catherine Tate episodes if you want to, though, as most of those are just a build up to the last of Tennant's run as the Doctor.

Quote

But she's not REALLY a time lord. She's got human DNA, just with extra bits.

I've downloaded a program called Expat Shield, which gives me a UK IP address so I can watch episodes online if I want, and episodes of Doctor Who Confidential, which does not come on BBCA. Simon Pegg narrated the first series of that show (he also appeared as the Editor in the 7th episode of Eccleston's run).

I actually watched 3-4 of the ecclestone episodes when it first came back and didn't enjoy them at all, which is why I haven't really watched it.

I only watched it on saturday because I was helping Ellie look after the girls she nannys for, and they love to watch it.

Her lawyer, Neil Blair, refused to reveal what the website would contain, saying only: "This is not a new Harry Potter book."

It is rumoured that the interactive site will be a meeting place for fans offering games, a Harry Potter encyclopaedia, readings by Stephen Fry and competitions. Fans will also be able to buy the books.

Potter fansite The Leaky Cauldron has been granted a sneak preview of the content and described it as "one of the most amazing, engaging and breathtaking additions to this fandom imaginable". "Even though this is not a new book... it is something equally exciting".


So it's just a shitty new website.

Well, they made fun of the blue and yellow uniforms AGAIN (even though they looked awesome), Charles was british? Banshee wasn't Scottish? Beast was a whiney biatch? Plus, I've always had problems with the aerodynamics of "The Blackbird" because it's basically an SR71, which won't turn below 30k feet, and leaks like a seive until it reaches altitude (because the metal expands). Meh. Small things which did not really matter, but they did pull me out of the experience every now and then. A lot of it is from the reboot, like Moira being in the CIA, and stuff like that, and only my long fandom of X-MEN even made me notice these things.

That said: Jennifer Lawrence made a perfect Mystique. Michael Fassbender was MASTERFUL as Magneto. He was exactly as compelling and sympathy inducing as he should have been. You KNOW he's turning to the darkside, but at the same time you're like: "I get it buddy. I get why you're so angry. Gimme a hug!"

Also, can I just say that Kevin Bacon makes a fantastic bad guy?



Also, the Hugh Jackman cameo was good, and not overly indulged in. Nice and quick, and pretty funny.

i just didnt know what titchy means.

You know what else was weird? the russian naval captain said "I've lived through one war, I dont want to live through another" when he looked well old enough to have lived through ww1 as well.

I dont think insulting the plane is valid because they can say "it was designed by the mutant with his super mutant brain"

Also, isn't banshee meant to be quite old?

I don't really know much about the lore behind xmen so a lot of it was lost on me.

Plot is surprisingly well put together and works well within the established canon (Kind of a spoiler in a really roundabout wayThough I'm not sure how they're going to have a fourth one...). The love scenes are not overly sappy. It kind of ends abruptly, but considering the 45-minute long battle through (minor spoiler) Chicago beforehand, I'll let it slide.

Bottom line, if you want to go see an action move that involves explosions, a female lead who is (IMO) far hotter than Megan Fox ever was, and a relatively coherent plot, go see it. If you're expecting it to win any oscars outside of special effects, keep dreaming.

what? you mean Transformers 3 isn't playing to the same demographic as "Eat, Sleep, Pray, Love" or even "Patricia Queen of the Desert" (no not that kind of transformer)

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!! I tell you.


Although a "Transformers 4, Dragster Queens of the Desert" might be a hilarious Mad TV, or Robot Chicken, sketch.

sort of, its complicated.  But you'd have to be american to understand it.
No, we understand.

America is a young, mongrel nation, so for some sense of cultural longevity and identity people like to hark back to their ancestry.

It’s just weird that you think it actually effects someones personality or whatever.

And also it's wrong because you're just all American.

Although I agree with that (in broad strokes), there is such a thing as an American culture. It's hard to define and varies wildly between different parts of the nation, but it's there.

So, someone having great grandparents (great great grandparents?) who are polish, but being born and raised entirely in America, by Americans parents, with American friends really has a different "cultural heritage" or personality than someone who has french great great grandparents?

I think being American has a lot more to do with peoples cultural outlook and upbringing than which part of europe their ancestors came from.

You liar....you can but you don´t want to.


pretty please?

It's a boardgame where you either play Dracula, and run around Europe hiding and creating new vampires until you win, or you play the four hunters, and try to find and kill Dracula.

Same publisher as Arkham Horror, which is also awesome.

Last time I played, I was Dracula and won.

The time before that, I was Dr. Seward, and stabbed Dracula in the face until he re-died.

I'm often amazed at the things people find entertaining, and it causes me to wonder.

Ah!  Its a bright sunny day, a bit of humidity, but I'm inside and having aircondioned the place last night, things are still relatively comfortable.  Been doing a little bit of painting some Empire troops.  Actually, most focus has been on my Tilean crossbows, and some mounted crossbows, too.

In the background ... PBS is running Ken BUrn's Civil War series, and it just never seems to get old.  Its a great combination of narration, photos, music.  Occasionally it perpetuates some of the inaccuracies of certain historians, but I'll forgive it because it is just so good otherwise.

The good old Paranoia RPG is the Bomb! I've still got the second edition from the eighties around here somewhere, but the book is coming apart. Luckily, they made an awesome new edition called Paranoia XP in 2005, which I just purchased at DriveThruRPG. This edition is very much modelled on 1st and 2nd edition and specifically ignores the stupidity that was 5th.

I'm really looking forward to running this game again! Executing Commie traitors in the name of your friend, the COMPUTER, is fun!

I never tried that one, but it sure sounds fun! But only if you have people with the right mindset. But then, that goes for every RPG.


*surpresses unpleasant memories about people with the wrong mindset*
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Aldaris on July 21, 2011, 06:01:15 PM
Fortunately, weeding out people with the wrong mindset is comparatively easy in this game. Rules lawyers have no chance, as the rules have security clearance Ultraviolet. Knowledge of the rules is therefore treason for mere clearance Red troubleshooters.

Furthermore, the GM is always right in this game. Always. Arguing with the GM is treason (bootlicking on the other hand...). There's even a whole chapter in the GM section dedicated to conditioning your players.
 :-D

It is not a cooperative game. In fact, you can expect the first casualties before the mission briefing is over. Fortunately you have six clones ready for rapid insertion in the case of an early demise.
Of course you still need the right mindset - you need to be a scheming, backstabbing bastard who doesn't take the whole affair too seriously. But how can any player not love a game where there is an official "Happiness Officer" and "Hygiene Officer" in the party? And where you are handed multiple choice forms before a mission to determine who will be most effective in which position? A game where there are official treason report forms, confession terminals and termination vouchers?

Ahhh, Paranoia. Definitely not the game of choice for campaign play (the characters simply don't last long enough for that), but for a couple of games now and then and a ton of hilarity? Unbeatable.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gneisenau on July 21, 2011, 06:14:08 PM

No RPG group around for me, unfortunately.

Furthermore, the GM is always right in this game.

As it should be.

Surpressed memory no. 1, from a "Vampire" session.

GM: "You are in a dark room. So dark you cannot see anything."
Jerk player: "Okay, I walk around a bit."
GM: "You walk against a cupboard. A vase drops on your head and shatters."
Jerk player: "You can't do that."
GM: "What?"
Jerk player: "It's my choice whether something drops on my head!"

This is the moment where it is time to gice that player "the talk".
Either you trust the GM or you don't. In an RPG a player runs his character, the GM runs the setting, and both interact to create a story. If you don't accept that basic premise roleplaying simply doesn't work.

I used to GM for a group that was great! Except for two guys who were constantly trying to go against the story. One time, I wanted them to work together to figure out how to get through a locked door at the end of a long tunnel. It was a difficult lock, and would have taken some time to pick. As soon as the rogue of the party began to inspect the door, a horde of goblins flooded the tunnel behind them. The idea SHOULD have been that the combat heavy players (like the Cleric and the Frenzied Berzerker) would hold off the horde, while the rogue tried to get through the door, and the wizard helped wherever he could. Should have been easy. In fact it was about half way through the dungeon crawl they were currently engaged in. The melee guys moved to meet the horde like I figured they would. Problem was, the rogue decides he should just TAKE OFF! He tries to slip through the infini-goblin horde (this did not pan out for him) and abandoned the rest of the group. His pal the wizard decided to try to abandon the group as well, and while he escaped he was not able to rejoin the group once the Berzerker bashed down the door and they got away. I was so disgusted. The rogue got pissed off that I killed him. Too damn bad.

The game system is incredible simple...I would suggest that you make the first couple of games as survivers and not the common guys that most likely die as soon they face more than a single lone basic zombie.

Trying to defeat a bigger zombie as a 50 year old doctor with a stick was bad for my health back then.

*giggles like a madman* I hope they bring out the russian module within the next two years with those there would be screams of HUrräääääää! from the first turn and large groups of infantry charging towards your lines.

(in the old combat mission Barbarossa the russian infantry had a special move command called MASS ASSAULT even with their low leadership they usually pressed the charge).

WE GOT NNAMDI! FUCKING HELL TO THA YEAHHHH BOIIIII.

Andy Reid is also responsible for getting to the play offs with a roster less talented than the one he has now. With Cole, Babin, and Graham coming off the edges and Nnamdi shutting down one side of the field, your defense is going to be setting records. I wouldn't be surprised if Asante and DRC both get double digit picks. And your offense is obviously no joke, we saw that last year. They have elite talent at every unit except linebacker.

There were only a few teams Nnamdi could put over the top, and this is one of them. He's a perfect fit for your defense. Just say I'll be surprised if the Super Bowl champ isn't coming from the NFC East or AFC East..

Btw, you got Babin off us (Titans). He was a beast last year. There is still gas in the tank.

We had babin for a year a while back. He was amaxing in pre season, and then barely played in the regular season.

Then goes to titans, gets 12.5 sacks, and then we give him a 5 year contract when he's a couple of years older. :S

But Graham has been PUPed, some rumours he might not play at all this year.

My only concern is run defense.... Hopefully vick, jackson, maclin and mccoy take that away...

That's how the Saints do it. Drew Brees is their run defense.

And it's amazing how the signing of Nnamdi has overshadowed the acquisition of Dominique Rogers-Cromartie. Asante Samuel is expendable! I see them trading him for a 2nd round pick.

Eagles defense will go high in a lot of fantasy leagues.

The nearest town is having it's fair on that weekend,

"If you are interested in the Show, famous cartoon characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse will be arriving in style in a special car, driving round the town between12.30 and 2.30pm.  For the competitive types, there’s Run-A-Muck, a 1km fun running event over a wet course including bale jumps, net scrambles, Tarzan swings, tyres and tunnels.  Otherwise there’s the excitement of Sergey and his birds of prey, the tractors, champion the wonder horse, the confined cattle and the clew of rope!"

Bob Bradley out as USMNT coach and Juergen Klinsmann in.

Meeting Jim Butcher.

Redskins having an actual good offseason, not the made up big splashy offseasons like normal.

Having a baby in January.

You, Sir, have your priorities in the right order.

Congratulations!  :::cheers:::

Thank you everyone.

I am incredibly jealous. So, so jealous.

He is incredibly cool.  And nice.  And awesome to his fans. 

You, Sir, have your priorities in the right order.

You do read the Dresden Files do you not (I presume you met him at a signing for the most recent one)?

I almost drove down to the signing that was in Illinois somewhere, but couldn't get away from work.

I do.  Got Ghost Story there at the signing in McLean, VA.  I really don't think the Barnes & Noble was prepared for what was unleashed upon them.  They had seating for 75 and 400+ showed up.  We were in group 8 of 12 (possibly 13 or 14), each group having 25 people in it and it took about two hours to get to him.  His Q&A was awesome, probably did that for about 45 minutes or so.  Not something I'd normally do, but it was an experience.

GS was good, but not quite as good as Changes or Dead Beat. But then, Changes would be pretty hard to top.

I am so looking forward to Cold Days though.

Post by: wissenlander on August 03, 2011, 06:21:16 PM
Those two are the best.  I really liked Turn Coat and Fool Moon as well.  I mean, all of them are awesome, but those in particular.  Only about 5 chapters into Ghost Story.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on August 03, 2011, 06:24:09 PM
The problem with Ghost Story is that it's all build up. At least, it felt that way to me. As you say, they're all awesome, but some are more awesome than others.

My favorite aside from those two is Small Favors purely for the scene with the Ghouls and the Warden trainees.

And I know what you mean about book signings. I've been to a couple (the highest profile one was for John McCain's book, which my mom made me go to, but I'm glad I went even if I don't really like his views), but they aren't something I would want to go to every time there's one I could.

Shadowlord, quit making me want to buy more miniatures. :icon_lol:

Actually, time for a confession ... bought the relatively recent beastman black box, couldn't resist it at $75.  That's about the price of the 3 Minotars and book alone, and then they throw in some Gor sprues.  I tend to play small games, and this will come in handy with the games I involve the nephews in from time to time.  They like it when uncle plays the bad guys and they get to beat up on him.  And I get to eventually paint them!

- - - - - -

Also, doing up a military miniatures flea market tomorrow.  Not sure I'll buy much, then plan to partake in some Operation Squad and figure out what game I'll be doing in the afternoon as well.  Maybe AWI 40mm.  Although giving some consideration to a large ancients era game using Impetus rules.

I'm glad you'll buy direct from GW, will make sure the awesome stores stay open. And I already said I like the scrap launcher and the cannon.
The cavalry look really stupid, but the big monsters are probably suffering from "crap paint job-itis".

If people like models what right do I have to say they can't ;like them, or shouldn't buy them? in the same way that you can't make me like them by saying "gw made ir personal" or whatever.

Diablo, Mephisto and Baal were put to sweet rest, and I promptly found something else to indulge my recent trend of nostalgia gaming:

Jagged Alliance 2.

Which, in my opinion, is still unbeaten in its genre. I just now had so much fun going on a night hunting trip to mop up Deidrannas Henchmen lurking around the fringes of a recently liberated city - just camo-painted Wolf and Ivan, with night vision gear, a Dragunov and a C-7. They racked up over 30 kills that night. It's nice when the opposition can't see you...

Ready for dust-off.

Pickin' up or droppin' off?
Talk to me.
Now what?
Where's the emergency?
Ready for pickup?
Life-flight's here.
 I normally don't give rides to strangers.
Be sure to wipe your feet at the door.
Hurry up! What, are you missin' a leg or someth... Oh.
Attention passengers, the local time... doesn't matter, since you'll all be dead soon anyway.
We're hit! We're hit! WE'RE ALL GONNA' DIE! WE'RE.. Haha, just kidding, should have seen the looks on your faces.
The weather outside is hostile, with a slight chance of fog of war.
Uhh, why you boys all wearing red shirts, anyways?[q 1]
Welcome to the flying meat wagon.[q 2]
Walk it off!
Welcome aboard, are you an organ donor?
The power of Medivac compels you![q 3]
Oh, suck it up! You act like you got both arms blown off.  
In the pipe, five by five.[q 4]
I heard that.
Load and clear.
Will do, command.
ETA, one minute.
Inbound.
Well, hallelujah.
Acknowledged.
Understood.
Confirmed.
On my way.
Let's go.
Heading out.
 Who's gonna rescue me?
Me? You sure?
If you say so.

Oh, hell.
Goin' in.

We'll grease my gears.
Coordinates set, Norse by Norse-west.[q 2]
 I'm the best pilot in all the nine worlds. Oh yeah.
-Hums to Ride of the Valkyries-
Shock and awe, baby.
Raiding and pillaging builds character. Really.
Blood and glory! Man, I must be losing it.
By air or by land, all shall fall by my hand! Wait, did.. did I say that out loud?
Welcome to VIKING, if you want rockets, press 4, if you want weapons, press 5. If you know the enemy you want to kill, press 7.
Fly the unfriendly skies.
 No-one lives forever.
Victory.
Hm, bold.
I like it.
Very well.
Ha-haa!
Agreed.
Alright.
Inbound.
Certainly.
Yes indeed.
 Burn and pillage!
Weapons primed.

an old work buddy of mine (for that job with the government I used to have) has been diagnosed with cancer and will be on leave, so my old job contacted me to take her place until she gets back (with the possibility to stay on after she comes back as I'll be all caught up on the new systems).  So its good news for me but the circumstances are sad. :unsure:

Went to an absolutely EPIC concert last night.  The Absence, Power Glove, Black Guard, SABATON, and Ever Grey.  Even though Ever Grey was headlining I went for Sabaton, the rest of the crowd seemed to think they should have been headlining as well.  The other 4 bands were good, and let me tell you Power Glove was a lot of fun, but Sabaton was completely EPIC.  Had a lot of fun, got lots of pics and met all of the bands, good down to earth folks all of them.  I would highly recommend anyone going to the remainder of their world war 2011 tour.

If anyone wants to see a hilarious football game, turn on the Michigan Minnesota game. We're winning 31-0 with 6 minutes to go until half time.

These games are the majority of College football, which is lame. I like watching LSU play, because my brother in law and his wife both went there. But I did not watch today. I will definitely watch next week when they play Florida. I really like Air Force, for obvious reasons, but I don't watch them unless they are playing a ranked team or another branch of service team like Navy. It's the only time the games are any good. Sure, there are some really crappy games in the NFL, but they are fewer and much farther between.

I like Denard Robinson, but Michigan has played nobody, and nearly dropped it to Notre Dame (who are going to lose to Air Force next week, Go Falcons).  If they stay undefeated I will be very impressed, and fairly surprised.

I don't know why I like LSU, but I do. Probably because of Les Miles. I watch almost all of their games that I can, though some of them aren't on up here. The first half of Wisconsin v. Nebraska was really good, although looking at what happened in the second, it didn't stay that way.

My prediction for Michigan is 11-1 when immersed in being a fan (before the championship), realistically probably 10-2 or 9-3 (if I had to bet it would be 10-2). We have a really easy schedule this year, with the only blips being MSU, Nebraska (which I would put as an almost guaranteed loss, but it's at home so anything could happen), and OSU, because well, rivalries/one of the only 2-4 (depending on who you ask) nationally competitive teams in the Big Ten. We start against 'Bama next year though :cry:, so that makes up for it.

Next year in general is a lot harder. Aside from the suicide starter (I may not watch that game, we're going to get destroyed), we're at Nebraska , Notre Dame and OSU for starters, all games that are hard or games where weird things have been known to happen. Is Airforce any good? That's the only team on the roster I'm unsure about.

Blah Blah Blah Michigan iz awezome!

Heheh, that part's a joke ^ .  :biggriin:

I agree that Michigan could easily end up 11-1, but it could also be 8-4 if they're not careful. I think 10-2 would be a very successful season. Iowa might be a team to add to your list of blips. They haven't looked great. but they have shown flashes of explosiveness at times, and could be a real problem if they get their act together. I hope Michigan does well though, they've been way too bad for way too long for all the wrong reasons, and that school deserves to be a contender.

Air Force is ok. They're not going to crack the AP top 25 (they lost to TCU, their only loss) but they're good enough to beat ND. Here's a link to their box scores and recaps from this season. http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/2005/air-force-falcons (http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/2005/air-force-falcons)

Les Miles is a genius at crafting NFL quality defensive players. He's also good at finding receivers and decent College style running backs. His offensive abilities are very limited, and usually relies on pure athleticism and not necessarily any superior skills or drive (i.e. Jamarcus Russel). He should have been developing Jarrett Lee for the last three years, as he's shown to be a much better passer than Jefferson. Les likes the running QB's as his starter though, because he loves to run the option on first and second downs. Les would be a great D-coordinator in the NFL, but he'd never make it as a head coach at that level, which is why he'll stay a college coach forever.

Because they are one of the best teams in the Semi-Pro SEC.  And nobody in that Conference gives a shit about anything other than winning the game.

It is good football most weeks.

Wait until you play Minnesota. If you win by less than 60 points I'd view it as a loss if I were you.

And yeah, my bet is that we get to the championship. My hopes are significantly lower once we're actually there... But I shall keep 2008 in mind and keep hoping.

2008 was the year we went 3-9. We did beat Wisconsin after coming back from 0 points and a grand total of 26 offensive yards in the first half.

But yeah, the last 3 years have been pretty bad. You're in Michigan right? Where exactly?

My dog has made a roughly 95% recovery after her surgery!

Based on the more in depth physical examination leading up to the surgery the doctor gave her 3-4 more years. She's 11, so that's way above average.

Picture just because (she's the  black one, this is from a few years ago, she's mostly grey on the muzzle and paws now):

No, she does not bear a striking resemblance to my bibliography for a paper on Japanese defense policy.

So my predatory and toxic Canadian Mortgage company just called, my 5 year fixed rate mortgage is due and instead of foreclosing like the Snidely Whiplash caricatures other mortgage brokers get, they are lowering my interest rates, not to 5% but BY 5% my payments are going down by 200.00 per month and I still get mortgage insurance rolled into that price.  And to top it all off I'm about 10,000 lower on the principle than I thought I was too.  Yayyyyy!!!

See this is why Forbes magazine voted Canada the number one place to invest in business this year (rising from 4th last year while the US dropped from 8th to 10th) our very conservative banking system and a harmonization of some of our provincial tax systems.  certain Mediterranean might want to consider following suit.

my brother's 21st birthday as told to me by him on face book.
"well we all went out to the sports arena (bowling)
and i got pretty drunk
then we all went over to this bar downtown
i kept drinking then i blacked out
apparently this hot chick amy was like ryan come outside
i didnt hear her and she said come outside and ill make out with you
so i went outside lol
we sat outside in the middle of downtown and she pulled weed out and apparently i smoked it with her
i was groaping her and making out with her lmao
NO memory
then we go into the bar and the bartender is kicking us out cuz someone destroyed the paper towl rack
so i flip out and start flicking the bartender off and cussing
and i take the bar's flag out the holster and throw it on the ground
we finally leave and i dont remember denny's at all but apparently we went in there and i eventually passed out
they carried me to my friends car
left me in there for 15 minutes
i threw up all over myself and left my friends car
i started walking
this is when i came out of blackoutness
i was lost
i must of walked 4-5 miles
all my firends were looking for me
for 3 hrs
they called and filled a police report
it was cold as fuck out
and i ended up going to a cement block factory and losing my wallet there
i didnt have my phone cuz i was calling and texting ppl so my friend took that from me earlier that night
i tried to sleep at the cement factory but it was too damn cold
so i kept walking and eventually walked up to some random house
i went up to their truck and opened it up and hoped in

Ted Beneke died when they wanted him to cash out. So yea i wonder how they will connect the death to the operation.

I was really amazed when i say Gus walk out of the room, holy but then they showed his face! HOT DANG that was awesome!

My Youngins decided to stage a wall street style protest Sunday. They prefer riding in the van for dinner, the wife and I wanted to drive the car.  So they staged a Sienna Sit in. The problem was fixed when I was walking to the car and said...

"There are leftovers in the fridge".

Protest ended pretty quickly.

Went with Trog for God (can bezerk when I want since food is not an issue)
Got mutation for slow metabolism (need less food) plus a blink mutation (less useful but can be a get out of danger thing with luck).
Got a magic resistance item
Got a decent large mace of crushing and a flaming whip
Got Crystal Amour (best non artifact)  Too heavy now, but in 4 levels I can wear it with no penalty.  May pickup some plate for now.
Lots of crossbow ammo

Level 11 is looking good.  If I can get a poison resist item and see invisible... and if I am careful, I can make a good run!

Congratulations to St Louis Cardinals.

Living close to the cards and in the midst of a number of fans...

I don't know what's more annoying, them crowing about how they and the Yankees dominate  :icon_rolleyes: or if they had lost and whined for a decade.

Had an awesome High School Football game.  Local team was down 14 zero with less than 2 minutes to go in the half... they did a masterful drive to score going into halftime.  Came out and scored 3 unmatched touchdowns in the 3rd quarter.  Great game!  Plus a good scare early in the playoffs is exactly what an undefeated team needs.

Not much good news, unfortunately. We agreed to set the date (hur hur) the day after I posted that (because we didn't have our diaries at that time, so I'd call her). She didn't pick up, called her a couple of times over the next week, still no reply. FB message, no reply.

Didn't really feel like posting it (not because of the 'blauwtje', just not really interested at the time). But, she should be at our association tonight (as will I), so we'll see what happens....  :unsure:

Picked up a few better weapons and gear, have most of the resistances I need for this point in the game.

You had to check your calendar? No offense, but you're the guy. :icon_wink:

If I ask a woman for a date, I always suggest a day, time, and place.  If they need to check their calendar, I say "Sounds good, if for any reason you can't make it, then give me a call, otherwise I'll just meet you there then."  Write it down for them, along with your number, and tell her that you look forward to having her join you.

Worse case, she does't call and doesn't show, and I have lunch or coffee by myself.  Then I'd give them a ring just to let them know we had a date and see if something bad has happened.  If she's really interested and embarrassed, have another date, time, and place ready because sometimes stuff just happens, and she'll likely show.  No guarantee though.

Hopefully you listen to a woman, otherwise it decreases the likelihood you get a second date, if you want one.

And for someone remembering my pityful home connection stats I also posted......we're probably going to get a fiber-optic network where I live! At least 30% of the homes have to commit themselves to a subscription in advance (but only start paying when there's an actual working connection of course). I can see that happening!

So the estimated 6 months is simply the length of the waiting line?

Back when I went to study in Wageningen I was clever enough to hire a student room before the summer holiday. With the system they had everybody got a random number and got a room in that order. But I realised that the housing corporation wouldn't like empty rooms from students who had left university. So the order in which people were being served would actually be used on a per month basis.
I was right and got myself a nice big room in the complex I wanted and got to spend a nice 2 months getting to know the city and all.

Wouldn't have helped in student cities with a waiting list measured in years of course...

The top 15 with the longest 'inschrijfperiode' with the housing corporation are allowed to come 'hospiteren'. I signed up early enough to be doing that, pretty much. However, I'm not yet really looking- I'll start around Christmas, but I may take up to February to actually get a room (lots of students dropping out after the first half year).

Sort of hoping that LSU wins by one field goal so there were no touchdowns in this game. Because both of these defenses are ridiculously good. So are the offenses, but the respective defenses will clearly win the game for their team.

And hey, I'm a prophet! Also, 'Bama's field goal kicker lost that game for them. 2/6. That's almost as bad as we were last year. Which is saying something.

Currently there is a game (Skaven against High elves) going on between Aldaris and Salvatore from Rome (Fandir acting as Salvatore's 'military advisor') ... at 8 p.m. we are going to start playing board games with some new friends ...

So that's why Salvatore will lose...

Great weekend for my family as well.

Friday night, had time w/ just my wife and I, and a sushi dinner, then shopping.

Saturday, a bit more shopping (I picked up a bright head lamp for painting.) went out for a nice lunch, and then took our son out for ice cream. 

Sunday,we took our son (5 years old) to see my favorite musical, "The Phantom of the Opera" locally.  (He loves the music, so we thought we would give it a shot for his first live theater experience.)

He sat still the whole time, and he said his favorite part was "all of it."

Completely agree, although ALW has had some flops recently..."Whistle Down the Wind", "Love Never Dies".    I am just hoping they make "Sunset Blvd." into a decent movie of the musical someday, since Joel Shumacher butchered the Phantom movie.

Elton John can have some good ones, but nothing compares to ALW, or Alan Meneken and Tim Rice/ Charles Stilgoe teamups..

True.  ALW has not produced a huge hit in quite a while.  But his early work was so good he can stop anytime and still be playing a 100 years from now.

I had a wonderful evening yesterday. Our guest from Italy (the one who was invited to join the Eavy Metal team) gave me the first painting lesson, and it was amazing just to watch him painting the minis.

What he does isn't just painting, it's art.

He kind of plays with light and shadow ... the models he painted look so real, it is amazing. I wish I could do that, too.

He explained some basic techniques to me and showed me some tricks to improve my modest painting skills. It was so much fun to watch him and to put into practice what he told me, I could have continued for ages.

It is a unique chance to learn painting from someone so incredibly talented. I am grateful we have met, and I am looking forward to learning as much as I can until he leaves in March.

WE BEAT OHIO STATE! BEST. DAY.

Dude, barely. But a win is a win. An exciting last couple of minutes there.

That reminds me of something I heard last week. I've never actually been to Michgan, but my wife dated a Scottish guy a long time ago who went to Michigan for two quarters but transfered because he couldn't stand the weather. The dude was Scottish, for crying out loud. What does that tell you about Michigan?

Yeah, was a lot closer than I'd of like. A lot closer. But a bad win is better than a good loss.

Also, haven't seen you in a while!

And honestly, the weather's not that bad. It's probably a lot colder than Scotland, but it's not really cold...

VT has a minimal passing game. Our front 4 is ridiculous. They lost badly twice to the only decent opponent they played. I am less than worried, but my record on bowl games is... less than stellar (I went to the Rose Bowl is '07 and Michigan lost and went to the Emerald Bowl in 2002 when the team I was rooting for, Air Force, also lost). Funny, VT was also in that Emerald Bowl...

I don´t want to get too cocky and I am not sure if I manage to get the same results without Salvatore sitting next to me but the pictures don´t even give him justice...I think I also reworked the crazy left eye and with basing he loooks better still.

Now I try to figure out what kind of varnish to use to conserve the beauty.

Post by: stretch_135 on December 11, 2011, 03:34:46 AM
This should go in a Neutral and Random Thoughts thread, but....

TL;DR: stretch runs into an ex, sparks fly, now what?

Went clubbing with a couple of the guys from work last night - headed into where I met my ex, working on the theory that she probably wouldn't be there again (if you're ever in Melbourne, look up Retro - best Saturday nights around). Got there early-ish (10ish?) and partied with a couple of hens parties that were there (fairly sure there's now at least one photo of me kicking around minus a shirt on some woman's camera...50-50 if she remembers why) (that's the other thing - Saturday nights are *guaranteed* to have at least three hens nights). About an hour later, I look across the crowd, and guess who's there? My ex and her friend had decided to come down for the first time since she met me - just so happened to be the same night I did.

So I'd kinda worked on the theory that if she was there I'd play it cool and ignore her...worked for maybe 5 minutes after we spotted each other, before she decided to cruise past and hip bumps me. Hmm. OK. I let it slide, figuring she's just making a 'I'm here, you're here, party, whatever' kinda point. Five minutes later she cruises past again, grabs my ass and keeps going. Hmm. OK, this just go serious.

So we play grab ass for the next hour whenever one of us goes past the other. I decide I need to clear my head so I grab a drink and nab one of the couches around behind the bar. She tracks me down and we end up talking and canoodling on the couch for the next hour (pro tip: if you're in a club and you message a buddy asking where they are and they respond "Busy", don't go looking for them and then stand there awkwardly when you find them. #LFMfriendsF) We talked through a lot of things (including a descripton of my maturity level as that of a two year old and then three minutes later the fact that I was the more mature and stable of the two of us as I have fairly set goals/ideas for the next five years....lolwhut?), she basically asked why I "waste my time" chasing her when I could be with a woman who wouldn't be as dfficult. I basically said I didn't believe the best things in life come easy and that I thought what we had was worth putting the effort in. She seemed to accept that and we hung out at the club until about three hen bailed and went and grabbed some food and kept talking. We both went our seperate ways home after vaguely comitting to catching up after new year.

So collective brains trust of W-E: 1. do I see what happens after new year or do I RUN LIKE I'M JAMES BOND? 2. Do I go professional as entertainment at hens nights? 3. Most importantly, how much crap do I give one of the guys at work (who's is supposedly 29 but doesn't look a day over 21) for making out with the 50yo from the hens party?

2: There's money in it!

3: Zero crap. Dude got some action!  :engel:

1. It wasn't awkward so much as low - she did it via text a few hours after I'd dropped her at home after a party. Admittedly, we texted each other more than talked on the phone, but still. I texted her a few days after it happened to say I kind of understood where she was coming from (changing jobs, moving, etc mean she didn't have time for a boyfriend) and to give me a ring when things settled down - funnily enough, she thought my friends had encouraged me to do that but in fact they all told me I was an idiot and I should have let it go. I think I'll shoot her a text later this week and then ring her after new year.

2. Looks like I need to buy some outfits.

3. We gave him a bit today haha

I was mentioning that same tactic to a friend of mine who plays Skaven, and he said it probably would work great, until a large unit sitting by decides to pounce on him the next turn...since anyone would be a fool to leave their warmachines unguarded. 

But it is still worth a shot, I think I am going to try it!

I don't know if I should laugh with joy or have a heart attack.

We're currently working on a model of a new car for a large car manufacturer, for CGI visuals. This has been going on for quite some time, and getting the required CAD Data has been an absolute nightmare, everyone in my department has been on the brink of going mad, and we were just about to start straight up modelling missing parts because the deadline keeps creeping closer.

And then today we learn, by pure coincidence, that the design department of that manufacturer has had that complete model since frickin' April.

I'm downloading it right now. And if it's good I'll either start crying or go on a berserker rampage. I haven't decided yet.

I almost had to post in unhappy today. My usual lunch with my project manager at an Indian/Nepalese/Italian Restaurant (think Curry House with Pizza) almost ended in disaster as it was full so we weren't able to have our regular Thursday Curry Lunch. However we were saved when we sighted a Thai place down the road and I had one of the best Green Curries I've ever eaten outside of Thailand. So I'm fed and happy  :closed-eyes:

That trailer looks shit.  It looks like an action movie with no storyline.  Now don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of Christopher Nolan, but this looks it's heading for transformers 2.

and a Republic trooper lvl 8 (surprisingly fun!)

so far each of the classes are really engaging.  its hard not to start a new character just to see what everyone else is playing too.  Its a barrel of fun and way better than any MMO ive played

This right here is why I watch college football:

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=313630239

123 points. 1400 combined yards. A quarterback with 7 touchdowns and 440 yards- on the losing team. 3 100-yard rushers on one team. 17 touchdown drives, 8 of which took less than 2 minutes. Average of all of them was 1:30.

NO DEFENSE! BEST GAME!

It's Friday evening and I have had enough of bloody work.
I have been involved in loads of work changes in the last three months right up to and including the last week - I even had emails from my boss on Christmas Day ....................  :icon_twisted:

I am now shutting off until Monday morning - yes I know that is also supposed to be a holiday, but "Everything Goes Live" on Tuesday morning and I still have a couple of minor things to organise.

In the meantime I might even get a paintbrush out tomorrow - what do you mean "Huh?" - even Fandir's painting now so miracles do happen  :icon_exclaim:


Oh and I did find time to sort out an order from White Knight ................

Jealous you were there, but happy we actually won!  :happy:

 What a game!  IMHO, I think it was better than the Notre Dame game.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on January 05, 2012, 05:34:35 AM
I was at the Notre Dame game too and thought it was better, though it is certainly debatable. I wasn't nearly as loud or animated cheering this time around, which is for the best as I lost my voice for 4 days after the Notre Dame game. Also bruised my hand from high-fiving to the point where you could see the bruises.

The offense was offensively (oh I'm so funny) bad, but man, our defense. If they played like that all year long and our offensive played as it normally did we would have blown everyone out. Glad to see that Gibbons got to really redeem himself after last year.

VT's offense was much better than I thought, though their defense was about what I predicted. So glad their 1st and 2nd string kickers were out of the game, if they'd been in I think we would have lost.

In random notes, I understand the stadium looked full on TV, it was far from it. Might have been two thirds full, certainly not 3/4ths. I called the fake-punt. I learned that a Hokie is a made-up turkey type animal, though a helpful Virginia fan told us it is actually a castrated turkey. Bourbon street is insane.

Currently playing Baldurs Gate 2 after I saw it on GOG, and it is still as awesome as I remembered.

I ran into a potentially "I don't want to play anymore" grade bug though: Mazzy Fentan, my halfling fighter asskicking machine had an imprisonment spell cast on her by some Lich we were fighting. Well, so I ran around for quite some time looking for a merchant who had a scroll with the Freedom spell so I could get her back.

Eventually I found one. Went back, cast the scroll with a feeling of triumph and... well, Mazzy apperared but didn't want to talk to me, so I couldn't add her tp the party again. Apparently the game registered the imprisonment spells effect just as "has been roughly kicked out of the group". Infuriating!! And then, after I was about ready to quit playing I found a magical solution with the power of Google ( a console command that allows me to add someone to the party).
Worked. Happy again.
 :-D

Now off to kick Bhodis undead ass.

YES! Made my day I've been waiting for this moment for 5 years yes yes yes yes yes.

I hate the American cover art with a burning passion, but the ebook art is always at least passable and in some instances down right amazing.

See:

I realize this isn't a new thing, but it was the first time I heard it today - and I have seen it about ten times and I can't stop laughing every single time. He's just so powerfully sincere.

Also, I want a Broadway musical "Scarface!" with the songs written by Michael Bolton in his inimitable power-ballad style, and with him playing the lead role. He makes a very convincing Tony Montana.

I like adventure time and the new episode actually introduced a new character that is suppose to be a new love intrest for Finn seeing as PB is a bit too old for him.  It was a pretty cool episode and endearing so thats the happy part.

The random part is how freaking wierd the internet is.  theres already fan art devoted to the new character and some of it is just gross and over the top.

Damn you internet, why you got to ruin a good thing?  ::heretic::

Yeah, I never really understood why they elected him in the first place.

*coughdhimmi*

I hope they are sensible and pick Gauck this time. He would have the back-up of the vast majority of the electorate and both chambers of parliament, and it would annoy the socialists to no end. But it's not going to happen, I'm afraid.

Since they need de Maiziere and von der Leyen where they are, my guess would be Lammert or Petra Roth (soon-to-be-retired Frankfurt mayor). But really, it's hard to predict.

I would prefer a popular vote anyway, rather than all this political bargaining.

Indeed. Man, comparing that twat to predecessors like Herzog or von Weizsäcker really was a sad affair. I think he narrowly beat Lübke in the dignity race, but the jury is still out on that one.

As for a successor, I think both Lammert or Gauck would make good candidates.

Because it means a brokered convention is a real possibility, which means delicious, delicious Republican in-fighting and even more of a guarantee that Obama wins the general election.

He did loose the popular vote but it looks like he'll walk away with as many or more delegates, which is the important part.

My BattleTech campaign is getting on a roll now! It's just me and a friend, with me being the GM and him running a mercenary unit (lance strength atm). This weekend we'll be able to finish the last game of the first track, it got interrupted last weekend when his wife became sick and he had to go home.

4 of his mechs (2 Light, 2 Medium) with an allied mech (Light) that has weapon damage and a heavy tank versus 7 mechs (1 Light, 5 Medium, 1 Heavy), 3 of them with existing damage/ammo expended & 6 light tanks. And then there's the fact that potentially about another 100 (!!) light tanks may arrive to bolster the opposition (piecemeal, he 'just' needs to be quick in achieving victory).

It's a glorious battle. The enemy was spread out over 3 mapsheets and my friend wisely decided to have all of his forces come in from a single flank. So far he's (almost) burned through the centre torsos of 2 enemy Mediums and offed one light tank but the enemy has almost finished regrouping and is gathering its strength, also they will get their first reinforcements coming turn (2 more light tanks).
He'll need to keep up his advantage and momentum and as always in this game, he'll need to get lucky with some of his hits if he wants to minimize damage to his own team.

Actually, and this might coma as a shock for you, but almost half of the people there were girls and only one of them was there because of her boyfriend.

Is this a club organized thing?  It sounds legendary.

It's organized by Friluftsfrämjandet (Open-air promotion according to Google Translate) and we usually sleep and hike outside, but once a year we have a boardgame playing weekend in this cabin that we can rent for free.

He was clearly lost in thought, moping about what his group was about to do. I think it's fascinating and terrifying that (SPOILERS) Randall (the kid) and Shane both turned into walkers without being bitten. Also, Carl shot that sumbeetch right between the eyes. Kid's a badass.

It's my 36th birthday today.

I celebrated it during the weekend (both Saturday and Sunday), and got myself some nice gifts like The Wise Man's Fear, Assassin's Creed Revelations for the PS3 and also the Metal Gear Solid HD remake pack (containing MGS 2, 3 & Peacewalker).

They are always looking for Tech people, and the best part is there is not a huge commitment required for tech. (You pretty much work on it when you can.)   So check out the volunteer form if you are interested.

It was just a cheap knock-off of skins to me, without drugs, because it was US based. Also, they made so many mistakes canon-wise it made me cry.

No, I genuinely loved it. I'm not deep enough into the BSG universe to care about mistakes with canon, which may be part of why I like it.

What did they think I was doing, sending smoke signals? I half expected the recorded voice to follow up with "If you're calling from a rotary phone, it's 2012. Go get a touchtone phone and call back, sucka."

I actually agree that Caprica (at least for the first few episodes) was pretty cool.  The pilot blew me away, and I admit that it went downhill and got very soap-opera-y after that.  But I loved the basic premise -- big question of what defines humanity, etc.

I've never seen a single ep of BSG, though, and didn't even know Caprica was a spin-off until weeks after I started watching it. 

Besides, the chick who played the robot was hot.

Wife and I have been watching an ABC show called Missing.  Sean Bean died before the show even started.

But now we found out that he didn't really die this week and is alive.

However, Ashley Judd is really pissed and thinks he is behind her son's kidnapping so I don't hold out much hope for him.

News items on the BBC today of two guys who have been totally blind for the last 20 years.
They had special microchips implanted behind their retinas to stimulate sight.
The microchips manufactured in Germany are surgically implanted in the oxford eye hospital into the test patients.
Only two so far have had the operation and another 9 totally blind patients will follow.
One of the patients can now see light and pick out shapes the light follows, a very good start after being blind for 20 years.
The other chap has not shown any ability to see yet, but he has started to dream in vivid colours.

I mostly watch shows that have been cancelled so I won't catch up with the current season. Worked well with X-Files, Heroes and Firefly, less so with Doctor Who and Californication. I also concur that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a brilliant comedy show.

It is....nice work what is the name of the fox?

It's a Blue Dog. A copy of one of the paintings by George Rodrigue. It's inspired by the legend of Loup-Garou, a cajun style blue werewolf said to terrorize naughty children.
http://www.georgerodrigue.com/originalbluedogpage/originalbluedogs.html
http://www.georgerodrigue.com/

The wife and I went to Painting with a Twist to celebrate our anniversary, and George Rodrigue gave them special permission to sort of rip off his paintings. I think they donate to his foundation in exchange, because the Blue Dog courses are more expensive.

http://www.paintingwithatwist.com/


This is the original painting I was approximating.

Forget the Blue Dog, the character I find fascinating in this piece is undoubtably the unidentified orange alligator. I get a sense the Blue Dog is treading, somewhat precariously, on the orange alligator's turf. There's no overt aggression represented here, by either party, so it implies a mutual, if uneasy, association. The body language of the orange alligator implies this is a temporary arrangement, and the Blue Dog could find himself in a state of over-staying his reluctant welcome at any time.

I'll go put a dollar in the 'Douche Jar" now.

Kidnapped and asked the final two members to take presidency of our association next year last night.

???? I feel like I'm walking into the end of a story here.

So I was stumped for a topic on my my final Astronomy paper until about two days before it was due. I decided to write about the Hubble Space Telescope. Thanks to my ability to bullshit (and likely some low expectations on the part of the professor) and the surprisingly exquisite online research resources available through my school's library, I skated a one-day paper in at the last minute yesterday morning. Grades in as of this evening, 96%. Higher education at its finest.

And Math, baby. My nemesis. 93% for the quarter. Not stellar for a good student, but for someone who has struggled with college-level math for over a decade? I'll take it.

You are: http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=23116.msg676636#msg676636

It's a tradition for the current management/presidency/board (seriously, does anyone know a good translation for 'bestuur'?)  of our association to kidnap the 7 people who they view as their most qualified successors. They break into your house (with the help of housemates), burst into your room, throw you into a car blindfolded and drive you around for a while. Then they throw you out somewhere and you have to find your way back, whilst receiving challenges you are to complete along the way via a crappy old cell phone (without credit, so you can only receive messages). At the time of the post I linked, six others and I were asked to fill the slots. Two declined so last Wednesday we kidnapped two others that we hope will fill their slots. 

Fun fact: one of them is in the 'white tie' pic in the post I linked. Guess who?

My parents are gone, and aside from interviews during the day I am entirely free. So I am bacheloring it up by spending my time playing video games and hanging out with friends. My dinners are all on the grill. I had ribs last night, burgers tonight, probably brats tomorrow, grilled salmon after that, and I'm thinking T-bone's for Friday. Could do shish-kabob Saturday but I'm not sure how much grocery money I'll have left.

This is of course making me really want to have a full kitchen in my dorm.

The iPad we got for my son's therapy developed a red screen. Every dark color (black, deep blue) was instead displayed as a fuzzy red. I don't know if he dropped it, or stepped on it, or what. I was distressed, so I looked for a fix on the internet. I found a thread on the Apple forums that said to slap it several times on the back and that would fix it. I was like  :unsure: No way. There's no way giving the iPad a spanking will work. But there weren't any other suggestions, and there were a LOT of posts from people saying it worked, so I put the iPad over my knee and gave it three good smacks on the back, and that fixed it! I was like  :mellow:  :Ohmy:  :biggriin:

You know when you see a crazy magic trick and all you can do is giggle? That's how I felt.

When all else fails, give it a spanking?  That is hilarious...the mental image alone of a crying iPad bent over someone's knee as they spank it, saying "How many times have I told you not to go red?!" is just funny to me.

And I have to say both of the female leads (the brunette and the blonde) are really easy on the eyes.  Not so much the president.

Happy Random thought...Julianna Rose Mauriello

I was watching tv the other day with my son (6yo) and saw a bit of "Lazytown" never heard of it, but had a thought that the girl will look cute in a few years when she is older, then I saw that the year it was produced was a few years back....so did some research.

She's 22 now, and very attractive.

I always thought Lazytown was a bit weird, as everytime there was trouble for the children from one older man, another with a moustache would come and save the day. The moustached man was always watching them in an airship from above which was always a bit creepy.

Plus what I never got about the girl was how she was related to a puppet, that was the mayor ?? Some kinky stuff going on in her family I think.  :biggriin:

I was going to say 'Why feel dirty? There's nothing wrong with finding a 22-year-old attractive, at any age.' Then I clicked on the link to imdb and she still looks 14 years old. Now I feel dirty...

Indeed, make the most out of your education. And get any degree you can afford, whether that means time, money, or both. Today I graduated from junior college. To most people this doesn't seem like much, and for the most part I would agree in the larger scheme of things. But for me it was an eleven year trek (for a two-year degree  :lol:) of in and out of school and a few other things mixed in. Now on to my four-year degree.

Kids not withstanding, because I wouldn't trade my family for anything, if I had to do it again I would have buckled down and finished my bachelor's degree while I was young. I resisted the system as a hard-headed youngster but in the end I was just kicking myself in the balls. So for what it's worth to anyone this applies to: Go to college and finish your degree as soon as you can. Being a civilian and not having a degree is effing tough, especially supporting a family.

Couldn't agree more, Big Time.  And this is coming from someone who DID complete the Bachelor's as a young person.  Eight years later, and I'm weighing the costs of going back to school to get an Associate's degree to possibly further my current career or even enable me to switch careers if necessary.  In a tight job market, one can never have enough education/training.

Post by: towishimp on June 16, 2012, 06:48:11 PM
I've been "part-time" for the last three years.  That way they can work me 40+ hours per week and not give me any benefits.  If I want to go on vacation, I either have to find a hole in the schedule (one larger than 3 days don't exist) or just choose not to work.  Especially now that my wife's left, I can't afford to take time off and not work.  Even if I can't work because I'm sick, I don't get paid.  It sucks.

But, on the bright side (and to get this back on topic!), I applied to another agency Friday.  It's with the state police and while it's a bit less in hourly wage, the benefits are excellent (including payed time off!).

Don't you guys have some kind of correction that gets applied to the measurement of your speeding?

Here in the Netherlands they acknowledge that speed measuring systems can be slightly inaccurate (for technical or human operator reasons), or that speedometers might be slightly wonky, and that this inaccuracy increases with speed.

So for instance you get a 7 kph deduction for speeds over 120, 5 for speeds over 100 but lower than 120 and it goes down from there.

So on most parts of the highway you can drive 127 where 120 is allowed and never get a ticket.

To me it also means you shouldn't complain if you do get a ticket. You were already going too fast to start with. :icon_smile:

I had the something similar happen to me once...70 in a 35, they pulled me over...saw the sword I had next to me for a production I was in at the time, and pulled me out of the car and searched me...ended up giving me a ticket for 40 in a 35, and told me put the sword in the trunk...I don't know what happened there either.

The only other time I got pulled over was a REALLY hot red-head who said I blew through a stop sign at railroad crossing.  (I was running late to work)  I told her I did, and was running late, and she said make sure I stop next time.  I told my boss and he said "Either present a ticket, or her phone number..."  LOL, I wish I would have gotten her number, she looked like Karen Gillan..

The UK leeway system is actually 10% + 2

So in a 30 mile per hour zone you get booked at 30 + 3 (10%) + 2 = 35

and so in a 70mph it would be 79mph.

That's effectively the Michigan system, though it's entirely unofficial. Most people go 75-80 on the highway here and the technical limit is 70.

In Ohio, the law states you have to go the speed limit; even 1 MPH over is technically in violation.  However, almost no cop that I know writes for anything less than 5 over, and most edge more toward 10 over.  But the officer's not technically wrong if he write for less; he's just being a stickler, and a little bit of a douche...if that were truly his limit, he'd have to stop like half the cars that went past.  I did read a news story about an officer that wrote a citation for 1 MPH over one time, the consensus being that he was an ass.

In the city I live in, the lowest speed you can be ticketted for is 10 miles over. They'll still pull you over and ticket you for 10 over if you're doing 8 over, especially in residential areas, where the fines are doubled.

Watch out for the small town Wisconsin cops though. They'll be waiting on stretches of road where there's a sudden decrease in speed and write you the largest ticket possible. Especially if you have Illinois plates...

Did you get a private cell, or were you in with the general population?

"They busted me with a stash, you?"

4 team playoff for college.  That will be a bit better, but oh the whining for teams on the bubble.

It also totally screws the medium and small schools.  They are totally shut out for 12 years.  Not that they could compete anyway.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!

I was going to say, they had less of a chance before. Not that they have a good one now mind, but, hey, slight improvement.

I predict an 8 or 16 team play-off by 2025. Any larger than that is too unwieldy, but you could do that in a month.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!

Maybe.  Maybe.  The bowl system has to further fall apart.  But having a 4 team playoff speeds up that process.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: towishimp on June 28, 2012, 06:02:55 PM
I thought they should've gone with a 6-team playoff, similar to the NFL's: 4 conference champs (SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-10), and then two wild cards (based on highest overall ranking of non-champ teams).  That keeps the conference championships meaningful, and still gives the little guys a chance to get in.  But this is a step in the right direction.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: jlutin on June 28, 2012, 07:17:08 PM
I am sure the big conferences were in all out defense mode to keep the upstarts out.  If you can't play for a national championship, there is only so far you can go in recruiting for your program.  Mission accomplished.

It'll be interesting to see what Notre Dame does.  Not that I really give a crap about those bastards.  Actually I don't hate team and most of the alumni.  It's the rabid fans who never went there that are too annoying to take.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on June 28, 2012, 07:41:59 PM
I would prefer 8. Conference champs, four highest schools who aren't conference champs.

Though I suppose I should say 6, but we all know the ACC and Big East don't count.

Edit: There's sure to be a Notre Dame clause, not that it'll ever be invoked.

...It was a very small step, and it was not taken simply to protect the feudal lords from being shot by peasants but to get ALL weapons out of the hands of civilians. What Lord Hideyoshi did was characteristically Japanese. He said nothing about arms control. Instead, he announced that he was going to build a statue of Buddha that would make all existing statues look like midgets. It would be of wood, braced and bolted with iron. And it would be so enourmous (the figure was about twice the scale of the statue of Liberty), that many tons of iron would be needed just for the braces and bolts. Still more was required to erect the accompanying temple which was to cover a piece of ground something over an eighth of a mile square. All farmers, ji-samurai and monks were invited to contribute their swords and guns to the cause.They were, in fact, required to. :biggriin:

I'm wondering if the "ensure it is on" means they will argue we have to ensure it is on by fixing it.

But the bit about faults and breakdowns indicates it is them.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Warhammer-Weib on July 18, 2012, 07:13:24 AM
If you've reported the breakdown, it should be clear you can't turn it on. It doesn't say who is to order the repair and pay for it though. Anything about a deductible you have to pay in case of breakdowns in other parts of the contract?

The year when rain ran into the basement every week and I started proceedings against the previous owner. And the year my ex-husband and I separated and I had to go through all this alone.

Looks great, Weib; what a difference from start to finish.  I like what you did with it.

So I've been posting on various threads about my work situation, how I've been stuck in part-time pergatory while I await the retirement of the full-timer in front of me.  I make decent money working part time, and even get overtime sometimes, but I don't get any benefits and some weeks I get very few hours.  Since my wife recently left, it's been the lack of benefits and reliable paycheck has been a source of a lot of stress for me.

Well, today I got a call from our secretary, telling me I was promoted to full time, effective immediately.  He's retiring on September 1, but they want rid of him so bad that they're putting him on administrative leave until his official retirement date.  It feels like a load's been lifted off my shoulders.  About time something went right for me!   :icon_biggrin:

After a week of demos...my nephew is coming on board to Fantasy. He chose Tomb Kings as his army. And has a battalion box to start off with. He bought a lot of paint, etc. and is so excited :icon_mrgreen:

I'ts been a while since I played. It was one of those situations where he came to my place, saw my WH stuff and immediately started asking how to play. On and on he was relentless.  Talking about a 23 yr man. Now he has stars in his eyes and is wearing me out about strategies. It brings back memories.  Lol he's already talking about Throne of Skulls in October in Memphis :icon_lol:

Today we ran a 1000pt empire vs skaven straight up and he tabled me (with my own empire models grrr). He was creaming me with templates and I kept failing panic checks fucking slaves. But it's been a while since I converted someone and I forgot how good it feels.  :::cheers:::

Got to do fun things with the kids, do some work around the house and just simply relax. Now I'm back at work and back on W-E for the first time in 3 weeks (I basically avoid internet when on holiday, only some sporadic checking of e-mail). Checking older threads, catching up, fun times!

Bradley Wiggins winning the Tour de France.  It's good to see Britian knock down a ToF title.  Wiggins did it with total class and at the same time destroyed his competition.  I was not a fan since he made the race so boring, but now I am.  Leading out Cavendish for the sprint on the final day while wearing the Jeresy and did the same thing a couple days before...

Yea, he has a man card and uses it.

Oh, I know. The only medals I foresee in those fields are Rutger Smit in shot put, hopefully Sedoc on the hurdles, perhaps the 4 × 100 men, but I think the 4 × 100 women and the 200 are a decent chance. I have faith in Dafne. We don't stand a chance at sailing, but it's fun to watch.

Swimming we're decent at, as we are at hockey, dressage and rowing.

Talked to a fish and game warden today.  :-)
Hopefully after a couple years of college I'll actually have a steady job (I get 60 bucks an hour as it is but only work about 10 hours a week because I didn't go through the apprenticeship for HVAC like I should have  :eusa_wall: ) and it will be doing something I love.
Being a Warden is something I've wanted to do since I was little and now that I have a chance I'm going to try to get a bachelors in biology or criminal justice and apply as soon as I can  :-)

Skins fan here.  Though living in the DC metro area you get all sorts of transplants.  Transplants are fine, but the folks who have tenuous ties to a team but loooooooooooooove them because they're popular is pretty gross in this area. *Cough*Steelers*Cough*.  I mean I'd root for a team too if my grandmother's brother's uncle's cat's doctor's postman lived in the city...

Note this isn't against all Steelers fans or others who legitimately like their team, just those bandwagon jumpers who can't acknowledge their true existence.

This decision, of course, is made with the the assumption that tauntauns operate at a core body temperature similar to mammals on Earth.

Pressurized pop-up tents exist in the Star Wars Universe. Mace Windu is known to carry a "wallet tent" that self assembles in seconds and can house two people.

Han Solo makes use of a similar tent in the novel The Courtship of Princess Leia. Solo pops out the tent as he explores the planet of Dathomir, a planet he won the deed to in a game of Sabacc. There is one problem however — Han explicitly keeps the tent inside the Millenium Falcon. We cannot know for sure if the tent is on his person as he explores Hoth. Luke's search and rescue mission is a quick one — Han leaves Echo Base in a hurry, likely believing it will be a short trip.

I think it is safe to assume that emergency shelters would be standard carry in the harsh environment of Hoth.

"Science" simply made a great deal of assumptions.

And Belgium showed some really good soccer too. Their second goal that made it 2-2 again was a beauty.

Van Gaal (Dutch coach) was testing out a lot of new young players, clearly it didn't work too well but that's what friendly games are for IMO. The chance to experiment while only a little pride is at stake. I'm sure glad he's not as rigid as van Marwijk in his team build.

Even WW2 'only' took out about 3-5% of the Earth's population. For this to be equivalent we're talking the populations of the US, Indonesia, Brazil, and Pakistan getting wiped off the map. Yes, it is also entirely unrealistic and impossible and I have thought about this and everything else related to Star Wars way too much.

Those are countries 3-7 on the list of countries with the largest populations on earth by the way.

I gotta go Star Trek.  Barring Borg invasions, The Federation seems like a pretty sweet place to live.  Even if you don't live in The Federation, the other teams seem like varying degrees of decent places to live, too.  Obviously, there's a chance you end up in a war zone, but off all those choices, your odds seem pretty good.

I think elder scrolls is a pretty terrible choice, really. Exceptionally high chance of being a chattel peasant who gets eaten by evil monsters.

This deserved it’s own thread, and also special criteria. Ie if you could choose where you lived and if you were “special”, and what time frame it encompasses. Being a jedi in star wars would be awesome. Being a wizard in Harry potter would be awesome. If you were a muggle it would suck. And if you were in books 4-7 fighting or being killed by Voldy, not so good.

Well, you're ignoring the millions of regular people that live on the core worlds, who never appear in the series because their lives are so boring.  For example, the Next Gen episode where Picard has retired with his family to his vineyard in France...seemed like a pretty sweet gig to me. 

Aldaris has it right; they've referenced numerous times that Federation citizens can choose to do just about whatever they want with their lives.  Necessities are free; without the overriding need to find employment to survive (like we do in our world), people can do as they please with their lives.  Like all would-be utopias, it's not perfect.  But I'd still pick it first off of that list.

ST has the same problem that Skyrim has, chances are you will be a random colonist that's planet gets destroyed by some sort of incorporeal gas monster thing.  Or a crystal entity.

If you can "Choose your fate"  I would still stick with my choices, avatar I'd be a fire bender, or an avatar.  DBZ I'd be a saiyan living on earth, and Star wars A force sensitive smuggler/rebel.

With DBZ I an gather the dragon balls and get wishes, so there's a bonus there.

Pokemon would be fun but the infinite power a 12year old can wield is kind of scary. (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=282)

Post by: t12161991 on August 26, 2012, 05:04:19 AM
I honestly don't care that you beat us, preseason and all, but seriously, screw Terrelle Pryor. Guy's a jackass and almost certainly not a very good NFL quarterback. We were scared of him because of the combination of his feet and passing, not his passing alone. See what happened to Troy Smith for a similar career path.

Also I'm contractually obligated to hate all Buckeyes.

On a more upbeat note hand, holy crap Russel Wilson. From the first time I saw him at Wisco I knew he was good, and it looks like he may get his shot. Good for him. The height is a semi-legitimate knock until you realize he's already played behind a line bigger than most NFL lines (Green Bay averaged something like 6'4 290 last season, Wisconsin's was like 6'7 320), clearly without any problem, and the man never makes a bad decision (he holds the NCAA records for passing efficiency, most attempts without an interception [which is an utterly ridiculous 379], and most consecutive games throwing a touchdown pass), has great arm strength, and can scramble and throw on the run like almost nobody aside from RG3 that I've ever seen.

I'd have to go with Star Trek as well. "Communist Police State"? Not really. The point is: the Federation does not have money anymore, since replicator tech makes it pretty much irrelevant. So it's more "ultimate personal freedom" than communist, since you can do pretty much whatever you feel like with your life without fear of having to starve under some bridge as a result.
Not communist, but certainly socialist.

An interesting article on the politics of Star Trek (http://www.volokh.com/posts/1190182117.shtml).  National Review did a whole week on various parts of the Star Trek universe.

I should think that any sort of futuristic society would need to incorporate more socialist policies than we have in place today. "Everyone needs to work" is a pretty common sentiment in the political threads(one user even advocated the idea of an island that non-workers should be banished to). But increasing automation/robots might make it nigh-impossible for everyone to have a job.

Right now, we're seeing mass-communication coupling with outsourcing taking a bite out of jobs I imagine most pro-outsourcing folks assumed were safe. For instance, lawyers in India moonlight as assistants to American lawyers. Why add a newly-minted lawyer to your firm or hire someone with one of those trendy new two year paralegal degrees when you can save tons of cash by renting Indian lawyers?

I just can't get this song out of my head. I've got this on repeat at work (yah for headphones!) and constantly feel the urge to do that silly dance (my little daughter loves it). Except for 'sexy lady' and 'you know what I'm saying' (only once) there's no English in the song, just Korean, but somehow my mind thinks it hears all kinds of crazy phrases.

There are quite a number of parodies out there already but I like the North Korean one (just a video swap). There's a close-up of some guys waving flowers......I'm sure they're in a 're-education' camp atm.  :icon_eek:

This may not be very coherent, but while that was worse that I thought it would be, it was better ghan it should have been. They could easily have put up 60 on us if they'd wanted to. They were dicks for not pulling the starters at least at the end of the third. Denard did look better passing, and Gardner gives me hope for a deep threat. But dear lord do our back up running backs suck on the inside run. We desperately needed Fitz to have any hope. With Fitz I think we put up 21-27. Without... well you saw.

But yeah. Alabama's ridiculously talented, and that game somehow has me rooting for USC should the championship game come to that. I gain solace from the fact that we held their QB to 11-21 despite their running game on play-action.

Give it 2-3 years and then we'll really see how Michigan stacks up honestly. We're still very much suffering from not having anything resembling decent lines past the first stringers, and depth issues at other positions as well. And if our starting CB on the one side hadn't gone out with an injury at the very beginning I think 'Bama puts up 31, not 41. There was at least one long TD he would have prevented.

Basically, game sucked, but still cautiously optimistic for the season. And at the very least we scored more and allowed less than Sparty 2 years ago. In conclusion, screw Sparty, die OSU, burn Tide, go LSU/USC/FSU/Oregon/whoever faces them in the NCG.

I thought Michigan acquitted themselves well; as I said above, Alabama has the best team improper recruiting methods can buy.  And props to Michigan for scheduling a real game for their opener, rather than that glorified scrimmage that the TOSU folks are patting themselves on the backs for winning.

I think the scariest team yesterday was actually Oregon. They put up 50 points in 20 minutes without even trying. Final score was 34-57, because back-ups were in in the second quarter, and bottom of the pile by the third. They had 29 points at the end of the first. I think they might actually be able to name their score if they wanted to. And De'Anthony Thomas might be the fastest football player I have ever seen. This is saying something considering our QB.

Decided that's who I'll root for to blow out everybody this year.

On OSU. This better not be repeatable or I will cry.

         "Let's hear the Kama Sutra"

The Guardian, UK, reported:

It is the world's most famous sex manual, but the Kama Sutra has always had a flaw: it is impossible to follow the instructions while keeping the book propped open.

Now an enterprising British publisher has solved the problem by releasing a new version of the Indian guide as an audiobook.

Beautiful Books, of London, has commissioned actor Tanya Franks to read aloud from the treatise, including its most notorious chapter, "On Sexual Union", which describes 64 different ways of making love.

Those keen to learn some 1,600-year-old sex tips must pay £8.99 for a download.

The book is based on ancient Hindu philosophies and was first translated into English in 1883 under the guidance of Victorian explorer Richard Burton.

It is not the first time the historic tome has been released in a new format. In 2003 it was published as a Pop-Up Book and, three years later, an abridged "idiot's guide"was available to buy.

Simon Petherick, the managing director of Beautiful Books, said the audio guide was perfect for the more bashful student of lovemaking.

"Now there's no need to feel embarrassed by reading a copy of this wonderful and important book in public – simply download it on to your mp3 player and liven up your commute to work," he said. "Indeed, the possibilities are endless. Some may also consider using the audio book as a step-by-step manual for improving bedroom techniques, without the need to stop and start with constant reference to a book. Just press play and follow Tanya's directions."

Franks, who appeared in EastEnders as Rainie Cross and in Pulling as Karen, said: "When I was asked to read the Kama Sutra I felt nervous and excited at the thought of it. When we finally did it I was completely relaxed and we had a great time. The only thing missing was the cigarette afterwards."

See now you can have both hands free .............  :engel:

Seems a bit of a harsh response to the article Fandir. All it's saying is we should be better educated about what we need so we drive the market in a more positive direction, leading to increased production of those goods that have real human benefit - making what work we do more worthwhile. Seems ok to me.

No ...it summons the easy black white moralism that capitalism is evil. Check the end of the article it tells you even why it is evil. (of course not capitalism itself....but how it works).


Or differently...we have to be trained to make "the right" decisions. Freedom means that you can decide what to do even if some might perceive it as the "wrong" choice. Smoking, drinking eating a steak are all "wrong" decisions.

The whole article is the regular.....the path to hell is plastered with good intentions....once we have conditioned humans to always do the right thing everything will be fine.....until we manage to educate them lets just tell them what the right choices are and if they don´t comply we just force them to do the right thing.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Sig on September 11, 2012, 07:12:02 AM
Nope, I think you're too ready to see anything as a pure attack on capitalism. I read the article all the way to the end, and I know what you're referring to. The article to me is complaining about sheep mentality and low education resulting in people making bad choices, whereas if they could see through the spin they'd be able to use markets to shift production to more beneficial choices. He's basically saying that people are at the mercy of advertisers and it perpetuates the consumption of useless items, making the work invested in their creation worthless.

Not really sure where you're getting people being forced to do the "right" thing. What he's saying is that the "freedom" you speak of is merely an illusion due to social conditioning and what not... rather like what you talk about when we had the Islamic head covering debate, saying that while yes they might technically have freedom they've been brainwashed from birth by their cultural system into an uninquiring mindset and approaching choices uncritically. I disagreed with you on that and I disagree with the article here when it says the same thing, because I think people can in fact see through spin but choose not to because it's easier or more comforting not to.

But that wasn't my criticism, my criticism was that I don't see what T#s upbringing has to do with his attitude to the article. I'd say the article is elitist but the wealthy don't have a monopoly on elitism, leftism or liberalism now do they?

Reading the article, it doesn't come across as "capitalism is evil," but rather puts across the standard modern enlightened view of saying absolutely nothing.  It's 1000+ words of quasi-Marxist (or quasi-Capitalist) empty drivel.  You can read into it whatever you want to read into it.

What's the takeaway from this?  "Schools should aim to produce self-determining agents who can see through the blandishments of the market and insist that the market provide what they themselves have decided they need to lead fulfilling lives."  Basically an argument for a classical liberal education.  That argument can be taken apart fairly easily.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Fandir Nightshade on September 11, 2012, 01:29:30 PM
I think it adds another layer...not that the people should make the "correct" choices with the correct choices being something mystical that has to be determined yet....but something rational....but of course it isn´t the choices people make now, nor the choices they would make after they have seen a commercial that they liked.

Rational choices are usually the boring choices and therefore they aren´t often picked until there is also another experience connected to it. Like eating healthy food after realizing that one weights 200 pounds.....or even more.


Because of this the article in my view propagates the idea that is very common lately that if people make the wrong choices someone should educate them to do the right choices. It starts out like this and continues in the banning of smokes and goes on to cut more and more into the freedom of choice of people, with all consequences attached. Like I said in my first post people should have the freedom to make wrong decisions and there shouldn´t be an organization deciding everything for everyone.


That is what I read out of the article.

Agreed.  The author certainly conveys the impression that the choices people are making now (in the consumer world) are the wrong choices and that better educated people can (and do) make good choices.  But that's wrong.  People make choices in their best interest when they make the choice.  If someone chooses to smoke a cigarette, why should I say he shouldn't, or bias him in making that choice?

The other point of....uhhh why is work even important it is only a necessary evil and we shouldn´t really think too much about working as there are enough pins produced caused my head shaking towards tnumbers background coming from a rich family.
I thought he got it largely right (quoting Aristotle).  We work for leisure.  I work so I don't have to farm my own food, or solder my own circuit boards, or walk everywhere I want to go.  Other people help me by lending me a portion of their efforts, and I help them by lending them a portion of my efforts.

Yes but the twist to it is wrong that we should consider if we have to work at all, there is enough productivity to feed and clothe everyone. He took aristotes....*right* and goes to bertrand russell (whom I generally like but his praise of idleness...seriously?)

Quote
Instead, “the road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organized diminution of work.”


here ...BAM organized diminution of work....by whom?

Quote
But this is no longer necessary: “The morality of work is the morality of slaves, and the modern world has no need of slavery.”

BAM

then taking the edge off ....a bit well maybe russell was wrong but then again.

Quote
But capitalism as such is not interested in quality of life. It is essentially a system for producing things to sell at a profit, the greater the better.  If products sell because they improve the quality of our life, well and good, but it doesn’t in the end matter why they sell.  The system works at least as well if a product sells not because it is a genuine contribution to human well-being but because people are falsely persuaded that they should have it.

No it doesn´t work that well if people ruin their life with their consumption which is only half correct but depicting capitalism as the wrong choice to steer the markets and in jumps the idea of "educating" the people to do the right thing.

Ther article is horrible!

Basically propagating socialism and central planning as the only rational choice and I would ask tnumbers to ask his father what he thinks of the article.

Ok. I pretty much ignored the stuff about rational choice in the market place. I agree that a lot of people make some pretty dumb decisions, but as you and others have said, that doesn't mean I should dictate their choices to them. He does then go on to say the best way to remedy this is to educate people, which is not indoctrination and I have no idea where you go that from. If an educator is indoctrinating or advocating any view that is not based entirely in fact he or she is doing it entirely wrong. Education is not about advocating a view, but giving the students the tools to figure things out for themselves.

I was mainly focused on his thoughts on why we should work. I absolutely agree that we work for pleasure, and there totally is enough productive capacity in the world to feed and clothe everyone.

For the record, the US gets the same productivity out of a 40 hour work week that many European nations do out of a 35. Productivity decreases as one works more, and some studies have shown that a 4 day, 32 hour work week might be the most efficient.

He's also saying that it's fallacy to see working as inherently moral or good. I'd agree with that. Working is amoral, there is no value assigned to it. Unless you want to assign one.

As for the article advocating for central planning- I don't see it. I thought it was pointing out that capitalism is a system whereby people are easily taken advantage of, but that that didn't render the fact that it's the best we have irrelevant.

I'd pretty much agree with Sig, honestly.

I agree to the point that work itself isn´t virtuous but what and how you do.

I agree with Zifnab on his attack on consumer choices.

And i might be wrong on the championing of communism but the implication of state controlled education to "solve" the issue.

He does then go on to say the best way to remedy this is to educate people, which is not indoctrination and I have no idea where you go that from.
It's indoctrination when you tell people what kinds of information they should use to form their opinion.  I could say "listen to Rush Limbaugh, but form your own opinions."  Simply by presenting Rush Limbaugh as a source of information I'm coloring your choices.  Link that to educational achievement where there is a desire to please the instructor (perceived if not required) and you're controlling choices.

If an educator is indoctrinating or advocating any view that is not based entirely in fact he or she is doing it entirely wrong.
Facts are malleable and subject to change day-to-day.  Opposite views can both be based entirely on facts, depending on which facts they choose to ignore, or how much weight to give to different sets of facts.

This education mentioned by him...who would do this and how? That is my issue with it this "I tell you what the best choice is" you read it as I will tell you how to make best choices but looking at the government educational system as it is now my doubt is sparked.

By facts I mean mathematical facts. There are no facts as such in English, Philosophy, etc.

I see your point with students wanting to please the instructor, but I don't buy it that that is the primary driver of a student's views. And it's only indoctrination if you take it too far. It's not if you tell them to ignore conspiracy theories, for example.

Sure it is.  It's not just pleasing the instructor, it's providing arguments that the instructor finds acceptable in order to get a good grade.  The easiest way to provide arguments the instructor finds acceptable is to parrot his arguments back to him.

That's an extremely cynical view of education.  I've had plenty of good teachers that I disagreed with plenty, and still got good grades.  I mean, should we give up on education, then, since it's pure "indoctrination"?

Back at the article T# posted, I definitely didn't see it as an attack on capitalism, and I don't see how we got off on this education tangent.  I think it speaks to a broader trend in Western societies to be more knowledgable on many issues, thanks to ubiquitous computing.  I can fact-check a politician's lies in seconds.  I can compare prices from multiple stores just as quickly.  And an upset consumer can go viral. 

As an example, for many years many people wanted to buy milk without hormones in it, but the big sellers only sold the hormone stuff, because it was generally cheaper to produce.  Eventually, public opinion turned on the issue, to the point that Walmart now sells only hormone-free milk. 

I think the point is that we need to realize that "the market" is all of us.  We don't have to buy whatever shit producers make; we get to vote with our feed and decide what they'll make.  To me, that's the beauty of capitalism.

Great article:

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/08/work-good-or-bad/?hp

The article is written so that the author can say...

Quote
This is why, especially in our capitalist society, education must not be primarily for training workers or consumers (both tools of capitalism, as Marxists might say). Rather, schools should aim to produce self-determining agents who can see through the blandishments of the market and insist that the market provide what they themselves have decided they need to lead fulfilling lives.  Capitalism, with its devotion to profit, is not in itself evil.   But it becomes evil when it controls our choices for the sake of profit.

Capitalism works for the good only when our independent choices determine what the market must produce to make a profit. These choices — of liberally educated free agents — will set the standards of capitalist production and lead to a world in which, as Aristotle said, work is for the sake of leisure.  We are, unfortunately, far from this ideal, but it is one worth working toward.

His "solution" is not supported by what he wrote and there is no analysis on why this is a good approach and is preferred to the current system.

My question to him would be, if a person is happy buying or doing something, does it matter all that much where that Happy desire came from?  Assuming of course he does not violate anyone else's negative rights.  Is a desire driven by some college indoctrination program necessarily better than one driven by a Madison Avenue ad?  In the end he just want's to get rid of an influence he has determined is bad to be replaced by one he control's and see's as good.  He just want's a different dictator ruling over the masses want's and desires.

Oh, and a job does not have to suck.  Many work to live, but many also love their work.  I think a higher calling for college would be training kids to be good in jobs they love that provides an adequate income for their desires.  That would be a far better use of the school's efforts vs some war against eeeeevul Capitalists.

I think that is his real axe to grind.  He is tired of having to try to justify what he does in college and want's a system where the things he teaches are more important than getting skills to get employed.

It's less retcons and more awful and inconsistent plot choices and character development.

And the inclusion of bug orgies. And Force Cthulu.

I could go on at length, but will not for everyone else's benefit.

Edit: And most that I know only care about the changes because Lucas makes it impossible to get a previous version. If the Blu-ray set came with all the different copies of the movies (and there are now like 4), no one would care. We only care because you can only get the Lucas approved version.

If you're curious about the nerdrage over Star Wars, watch The People vs. George Lucas -- it's a pretty balanced look at the whole issue, and is funny to boot.  I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, but as a film fan it pisses me off that Lucas has done his level best to erase the original versions of the first three movies from the record, which is bullshit.  Update as you see fit, they're your movies; but for god's sake, don't try to erase the historical record.

I'm a fan of The Raid: Redemption, and think everyone should see it. I don't see Dredd as copying it, though I have seen those comments more than once. The Raid does not have a monopoly on tenement buildings. It also didn't have massive explosions. (just a couple small ones).

Ray of hope in the worst possible situation:

You’re right. People do lie, and cheat, and stab you in the back. There will be people who use you, and don’t love you even though they say they do. But you can’t let that stop you from living. Because there are people out there who do love you, and would never hurt you. You have to find those people and keep them in your life forever.

Very good quote.  It really speaks to me with where I am in my life right now.  Thanks for sharing it.   :::cheers:::

Anybody who likes Football offense should turn on West Virginia v. Baylor. Score is 63-49 going into the 4th. WVU's QB has 577 yards and 7 TDs on 38/43. The records are 730 and 11 respectively. He is going to break them.

Post by: t12161991 on September 29, 2012, 08:22:54 PM
He did not break the records. He did go 45/51 for 656 8 TDs and 0 INTs though. That makes him 141/169 for 1728 yards, 20 TDs, and no interceptions through 4 games.

Came within 100 of the yardage record too. 1550, needed 1640.

There's a game next weekend you may like. #5 v. #6, good defense on both sides, above average to possible world beating offense depending on the side as well. A lot of the fun of college football has to do with being immersed in the tradition and culture of each school though. It's hard understand the appeal if you've never experienced it.

1728 yards, 20 tds and 0 ints through 4 games is the stats you get on madden playing on rookie.
Is this dude gonna be a top pick? or are they playing shit teams
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on September 29, 2012, 10:17:30 PM
Both. He's the favorite to win the Heisman, and if someone needing a new QB with a top 4 pick doesn't pick him first they're probably dumb as rocks. The only knock against him is that he plays in an Air Raid offense, so he's going to get a lot of throws and inflated stats. Also both of his top two targets will probably go in the first and second as well. Still, he's very very good.

On the other hand, the teams he's played rank 121, N/A (lower division team, so off the charts bad defense), 8 and 116th respectively in defense. Out of 124. Marginally better in scoring D, where they are 121, N/A, 48, and 90th respectively.

His worst game was of course against that #8 D, when he put up 30/43, 338, 3, 0. Still very, very good, just not video game insane. He's also got 21 rushes for 98 yards and a TD (in four games).

The conference he plays in is known for bad, bad defense. If he keeps this up, he's on course for 5200 passing yards and 60 TDs. The second would be a record.

Oh, and the other reason his numbers are ridiculous. They run a lot of end arounds that are booked as passing plays. Hard to explain, but this guy does a good job:

http://smartfootball.com/offense/dana-holgorsens-brand-of-the-west-virginia-airraid-offense

Actually that's the whole offense. The specific play I'm talking about is covered at about 6:20 in this video:

One of the few things I do find interesting about college football is the offensive innovation that goes on at that level, which then usually filters up to the NFL.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on September 30, 2012, 03:45:40 AM
Yeah, that's a large part of why I love it. I don't know a whole lot about defensive schemes, but I can talk for hours about the vagaries of the different spreads, air raids, triple options, pistols and other offenses.

Especially spread to run teams. Fascinating stuff.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: towishimp on September 30, 2012, 03:38:37 PM
Especially spread to run teams. Fascinating stuff.

Yep, the spread has obviously been the biggest one to filter up to the NFL.  You see more and more NFL teams running more plays from the shotgun, and with more recievers.  The fullback as a dedication position simply doesn't exist on like 1/3 to 1/2 the teams in the NFL.  Even on my Buccs, whose offense is based around power running schemes (often with a two-back backfield), the fullback is more of an H-back type who can do things in the passing game as well as run block.  Also, see all the bubble screens.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: t12161991 on September 30, 2012, 04:14:00 PM
Spread to pass is what's mainly filtering up to the NFL, from teams like Oklahoma St and West Virginia. Spread to run is actually quite different.

The names give it away, but the spread to run is intended to get fewer men in the box so it's easier to run with it, and is predicated on the read option(s) and inverted veer.

The read option is when the QB reads the backside defensive end. If he stays home, hand off to the running back. If comes forward to go after the RB, keep.

The idea is to make the defense wrong every time. The inverted veer is similar, but very different. Whereas in a traditional read option the RB runs to the strong side and the QB would go to the weak side, with the inverted veer they both go to the same side, with the RB acting as an extra blocker.

This is what Michigan ran to great effect under RichRod, and those two plays averaged almost 9 yards a carry I believe.

Right, I'm familiar with the read option and such, and it's filtering up to the NFL too.  Vick and Vince Young both had some success with it a few years ago, it's become a staple for Cam Newton, and RG3 has been running it a few times a game.  I've seen Russell Wilson and Alex Smith run it at least once each, as well.  It'll probably never be a huge part of anyone's offense because NFL d-linemen are way more athletic than 99% of college d-linemen, but people are using it in spots.

Isn't that from M1(A1?) Tank Platoon? I played the heck out of that game at a friends house (we didn't have a PC). He didn't have a soundcard by then, which meant everything was bleeps and scratchy sounds (including the rock and roll intro music) but in-game you also had text messages.

"Gunner load Heat."

"Heat up!"

"Fire!"

"Gunner load SABOT!"

Finding a good position to ambush the oncoming Russians, trying to keep the crews alive so they could improve, if you were lucky you had some fire support (TOW launchers were the greatest, put 2 of those on the Russian flank and they took out almost the whole column, not good for your own xp though) man that was a fun game back in the days.

HA!

There will be another Halloween Larp this year. They're always firmly in the Horror genre, although the setting varies wildly. And they're always, always excellent. I've attended every one so far, and every single one has been awesome. I've written a report about the last one I attended a couple of years ago, here:

http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=29551.msg413466#msg413466

Now, when I got wind in february that the organizers are running another one this year I immediately called to secure myself a spot - but it was already full. Damn.

Fast forward to yesterday, when one of the organizers called me and asked if I was still interested in playing. Happy!!

This one will be set in an alternate history 1948. During WW I a mysterious fog began to appear in central Europe, spreading steadily. No one who entered the fog has ever been seen again, and even mere contact/inhaling can bring about an ultimately fatal condition. Much of Germany, Eastern Europe and France was eventually swallowed by the fog, ending WW I and bringing about a ton of political and cultural changes. The fog has long since stopped expanding, but still persists, and still defies explanation.
The setting of the LARP will be the journey to a political and scientific conference in Switzerland, with emissaries from various countries around the fog in attendance. The game will take place in a train! It's an ex-GDR government train that's standing on a defunct track and acting as a hotel of sorts. I expect things will not go smoothly, considering the genre...
 :-D

I will be playing a medical genius / spy from New Haarlem, which is what the greater parts of the Netherlands and Belgium have joined into.

Man, I'm looking forward to this!

I don't have anything in the way of 1940's clothing though. I guess I'll reuse some of my 1929 wardrobe and be not terribly fashionable. Since I'm a scientist that should be quite fitting.

I'm reading the New Haarlem background just now and it's actually hilarious.

Post by: Aldaris on October 16, 2012, 08:59:37 AM
Could you share it? I wonder what they've done to even justify calling a nation 'New Haarlem'. :icon_lol:

After the fighting of the great war abated due to the fog the Belgian monarchy was forced to abdicate by the people, who were clamoring for a new beginning. Political union with the Netherlands was sought and achieved, with a new constitution masterminded by womens rights activist and economic theorist Johanna Naber. Since Haarlem was the capital of North Holland, which during better times had been the most powerful of the Dutch provinces, The capital of the new country was moved there, and the name adopted as a sign of a new beginning.

New Haarlem is basically run like a company, the citizens being shareholders and employees both. The economy is very good, firms like Zwaard, Akzo and Unilever being strong contenders world wide. A voting machine has been developed, allowing for fast and easy participation of the populace in critical questions. Currently New Haarlem is run by Roelof Theodorus Overakker efficiently and economically, and every citizen is a proud wheel in the big engine.

An Efficiency Rating is calculated and regularly updated for every citizen, denoting the effectiveness of said citizen for society as a whole. Many proudly wear their "bling", a badge with their current efficiency rating, on their lapels, along with the logo of the company they work for. New Haarlem citizens view consumers of cannabis and most other drugs with disdain - the good and civilized stuff is the so called "state ticket", LSD manufactued by Zwaard.

The guide also gives some clothing tips - mostly business wear, often with blue headbands for women and ties with a maritime theme for men, along with the efficiency rating badge and company logo.

Oh sweet irony! A few years ago our electronic voting machines were banned because of not being 100% guaranteed  that a vote would be completely anonymous (with a certain type of detector it was possible to record the button position which was pressed). So we're back to red pencils on paper voting sheets (absolutely no chance of any method to peek on that type of voting, no siree, not that placing a miniature camera in the ceiling above the open voting boots might achieve something like that).

God I miss those voting machine. Fast, efficient, you would have the results of the vote the same day as they were cast. No need for recounts. The manufacturer of the voting machines actually proved that with a certain type of shielding no signal of any kind could be captured. We've got Smart Phones, but stupid voting methods. :icon_rolleyes:

I like how the background uses very traditional Dutch names. The corporate efficiency is also a nice touch. Still think they would never call a country New Haarlem though.

Just got the name of my role, Marius van Daalen.
The background document is 60 pages total, for a one-off LARP in a setting that will most likely never be used again.

That's why I love the Halloween crew. They don't run a lot of events, but when they do they do it RIGHT.

It also has that nice Latinized ring to it. I'm immediately reminded of the Law of Snellius (in English mostly called Snell's Law, though the man really used the surname Snellius).

Let me answer this by quoting Steve Jobs:

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

It's the right decision - for both of us.  :happy:

Back from the Halloween Larp. And I'm never playing a doctor again. I was so busy doctoring all the time that I hardly got to see any of the main plot.

It was still completely awesome, with a great story, a great location and lots of scheming and backstabbery. And it felt odd and cool playing in the ex-GDR government train, using the rooms and furniture Honnecker and his ilk had used for a game.

sounds cool Aldaris, the LARPs you do sound a bit more interesting than some others I've seen.



We got £625 out of the £800 deposit on the flat we just moved out of back.

So they held back 175? Why, did they not like the colour of paint on the wall?

Carpet needed cleaning (got oil from my bike on it), one of the rooms had blu tac marks on the wall, I scraped the wall in bedroom with chest of drawers and scraped the wall in the landing with the washing machine, I broke the handle of the freezer compartment of the fridge/freezer.

It’s probably a little more than is fair, but not really worth fighting them for it. I’m happy as hell really, because I thought they might try and blame us for the mould problems and give us nothing.

Arrow is surprisingly good. Watched the first episode waiting to see something incredibly dumb and it never happened.

Towie- That is rather surprising. They are pretty different shows though.

It's rather hard to get some people bothered to even watch Firefly in the first place. I know people for whom it's not enough to just say "cowboys in space" (which is what got me hooked btw), but it's hard to convey the nuances and subtle humour and the fact that it's more than just a sci-fi show to someone who's never seen it, so it's somewhat of a vicious circle.

Quiet you.  I'm getting there.  We're both very shy and I wasn't officially divorced until Wednesday, so it's taking awhile.  Tuesday is going to be a make it or break it date, though.  First date post-divorce and first time being alone together.  I'll see if I can finagle a pic...yanno, just for my phone to associate with her contact  :wink:

Certainly not in 2003?  I remember being surprised when I bought my computer in '01 or '02 that there was no floppy drive.

And considering that Ohio's age of consent is 16, Towie's fine. Barely.

Hey, her older sister is 25 and she just married a 50-something guy.  Compared to that, I'm not creepy at all.

Fine fine, widespread internet. Before everyone and their dog had it. Late nineties. And Buffy wasn't really a 90's thing I don't think. It started in what, 98? It was mostly in the early 00's.

I would like to make the argument that cultural trends in say art, music, film, and such are best defined in decades that end on the 5's in the post WWII era rather than the 0's. For example 1999 is closer to 2004 than 1994.

Mainly that the Wolverines have always had this annoying ability to beat the Badgers even in years in which the Badgers are the far superior team (say the '98 and '99 Rose Bowl years). No matter the difference in ranking, the Wolverines always seem to manage to make a game that should be easy a challenge.

Christina Hendricks is off the market.

I am like Genghis Khan, always pick a woman with strong legs...plus blondes are my kryptonite...
Also women who do squats and lunges typically have a wonderful bottom, judging by this woman's legs, her's must be extraordinary.  plus boobs and navel ring.

Soooo, I was already set to spend New Year's Eve with my girl, when last night she texts me and says that her parents and her stepsister and her husband have invited us on this riverboat cruise and overnight hotel stay that they're all going on.  After wondering all last night if this meant what I thought it meant, I finally manned up today and initiated the "sooo, are we staying in the same hotel room at this thing?", to which the answer was "yes."  Shit just got real!

Hmmm now my question is what are your plans Christmas though, together or no? I've never viewed New Years as a particularly 'Family Holiday', it's more the friend network holiday gathering filled with tipsy (or sometimes quite drunken) indiscretions. If together on the Christmas with her family seems a bit of a monopoly on the holiday season if no it seems more reasonable, but you are correct that is indeed quite 'real'.

Not sure about Christmas.  We made New Year's plans because I had some comp time from work and love New Year's Eve, so I thought it'd be a good day to ask off.  Of course now, I may not get it off, thanks to my co-workers sucking  :eusa_wall:  My initial thought was to have her meet my friends for New Year's, but due to one couple expecting their first child any day now and the fracturing of my old friends group due to my divorce, no friend-based plans materialized.  So we were planning to celebrate, just the two of us, have a fancy dinner out and chill at my place until the ball dropped.  Now things have escalated a little...if it happens at all, pending my work schedule working out.

Edit: Luckily, at least one of my co-workers doesn't suck.  Since I was having trouble getting a part-timer to cover my hours, one of the full-timers just suggested we switch shifts (she works dayshift).  So it's on!

Super happy about this as the GW webstie sells 12 models for $55 plus shipping and there are some auctions going on right now on Ebay for 3 or 4 of the models for $6 ( with 5 days left to bid). The box only had 10 models instead of 12, but it will be awesome!

Correct. Go watch something cool that conforms to male stereotypes, like Dexter's Lab or Johnny Bravo.

Regular Show
Amazing World of Gumball
Adventure Time

All are regular viewing at the zif household.

I concur,
I think I watch cartoons more so than anything else on TV.
Adventure time, bob's burgers, american dad, teenage mutant ninja turtles, gravity falls, regular show (if im bored), south park, batman beyond, transformers prime (and G1 at midnight on the hub).

Live action shows I watch: burn notice (occasionally) castle (when its on), community.  I have been tempted to watch parks and recreation but can never catch it on tv, but the youtube clips I have found makes me want to become ron (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwGat4i8pJI) frikken swanson.

I didn't really care for adventure time, but I am old school when it comes to cartoons. Surrealism as a crutch doesn't really appeal to me, and a lot of "modern" cartoons rely very heavily on it.

Well by the transitive theorem yes it would seem...though at dawn there is to be blizzard conditions here so try and hit me...hipster..... :-P

Incidentally from Urban Dictionary:
BRONIE:

Male fans of My Little Pony, Typically at the age were they have pubic hair.

These people generally have very few friends that will allow them to stick their penis into them, so they resort to My Little Pony.

They believe they are a form of hipster, by watching MLP.
This is not true, Trying to convince Bronies what they do is gay is just like convincing a Justin Bieber fan that he sucks.

I have to say beyond the bottle and art I was not very impressed with Kraken. I'm generally a whiskey sort of guy when it comes to spirits but I also enjoy rum from time to time. I suppose I just found Kraken a bit too samey with other over proof offerings like Sailor Jerry or Myers. Perhaps I've just not had it in some sort of cocktail that is more suitable for it.

I bought a box of Wargames Factory Marlburian infantry for cheap to use as French, and I was looking at the back at the painted examples (some bad ones, like the Imagi Nation one) and noticed that the three really good ones were painted by none other than zerotwentythree.  :-D

Yep, 023's look very good.

Although the guy who did the Austrian, Jorger de Toller's regiment, didn't do bad either .

Actually, think the photography failed a bit in capturing the painting quality.

The guy behind colour guard miniatures usually puts forth very good work as well.

A good Christmas, overall.

My girl met the sane half of my family and everyone got alone.  And I nailed her gifts (she's constantly cold, so I got her slippers (an inside joke), an XBox blanket, and handwarmers).

Although I had to work Christmas eve and Christmas day, I still got to see my family before work.  And both days have been pretty quiet, which I'm thankful for.

And finally, starting in 30 minutes, I will start three days off in a row...during which I will avoid leaving my house and venturing out into the incoming blizzard and playing with my Christmas presents.  And drinking whiskey.   :::cheers:::

Edit: Forgot one last thing: my mother took a picture of me and my girl together, so I can finally prove that she exists and that we are in fact dating...although I'm sure CoD will remain a sceptic nonetheless.

Paying a random street person to take a picture with you is not the same as having an actual girlfriend, and your desire to prove her real is too amusing to simply admit that she is real, whether I believe it or not.

the dragonballs are 7 magic balls that when brought together summons a giant dragon that grants a single wish.  In the dragonball tv shows they usually use the wish to bring back a dead friend from the series.

An fx 4100 and HD 7770 for 600
Or an fx 6300 and HD 7850 for 700.


I can afford both but I feel really guilty, and could use the extra hundred for the euro bash.

I find using Troll Face cut outs as the piece of paper also works well. Using just a piece of clear sticky tape is also good as it will stop the mouse working and may not be noticed with a cursory check. For added fun unplug the mouse as well.

This isn't happy, just random, weird, and confusing, but whatever.

I went to a pizza place that sells pizza slices the size of my forearm after going out to a few bars/clubs last night (Wiss/Feanor- Jumbo Slice), and since I was wearing halfway decent clothes was eating it with a knife. The 'lady' next to me turns and says "why don't you just rip into it like a man."

How the hell do you even respond to that. In hindsight I definitely should have whipped out my pocket knife and kept cutting it with that, but eh.

Because you broke the cardinal rule of the late night pizza by the slice sort of joint in being sober enough to show some degree of edict. Basically you breached the 'When in Rome' sort of deal. Now even if you were drunk or even plastered but that the reduced level on brain function still suggested you 'preserve clothing'  would also be a red flag to people as that usually is one of the things lost with higher brain function.  You have already solved it though the proper response would have been to pull your pocket knife maybe next time eh.....

stay out of SE DC unless you are going to the ballpark...during the day.  Any other time of the day or place or night, its best not to go there, ESPECIALLY by yourself.  Your skin tone will betray you.  I am not joking.

also about the STD thing, there was a big campaign for awhile in DC to get women to use female condoms to try and slow the spread of STDs as they were more trusted to use protection than males.  Mainly black women were shown in the adds.  Guess what the SE demographic is....STD is no joke (well it is) around here which is why I wondered in most movies and TV shows they argue about using protection, here its a no-brainer unless you're an idiot. haha

"Announced at New York Toy Fair, Gale Force Nine is bringing out a Firefly board game. According the the description, you captain a ship, take on jobs, and avoid Reavers and the Alliance. This is the first in a series of Firefly board games and miniatures games coming out in the next year, and should hit shelves this fall."

It's a cross reference joke to the episode of Doctor Who written by Neil Gaiman entitled The Doctor's Wife. In the episode the consciousness of the TARDIS is transferred into a human woman's body. She continually refers to him as 'her' Doctor. It's a very sweet episode.

yes, at least  I think so. If you don't at least see what her plans are Friday after work and if she has none invite her out for a drink, I am going to act on it.

However, if she isn't flirting with you that could make work really awkward.

Well, I had a fun call from a customer today. "The preview picture you sent me looks good so far, however, there is some kind of line running through the dashboard that looks a bit off. Could you correct that please?" Huh. I opened the rendering, looked at it. No line that wasn't supposed to be there running through the dashboard as far as I could see. "Could you describe were that line is and what it looks like?" "yes, it's blue and runs horizontally, right through the middle." "Oh," I said. "I think I have a solution. Could you press ctrl+h please?" She did. The line disappeared. She thanked me, pretty embarassed. Much laughter was suppressed on my part before I could finally hang up and burst.

She had opened the image in Photoshop and had guide lines on.

had to set up a conference number for a customer and emailed him all the info.  Apparently he then copied my phone number (not the conference number) and emailed it out to a bunch of people saying it was the conference number.  around 1pm today I was flooded with calls from people trying to get into the conference.


So apparently I also gave the wrong person access and they emailed me and copied the lady from my other post.  They had identical names which is why I messed up but she then fired back
her: "There are one too many [Name omitted] round here…"
me: "Hahaha, sounds like you’re suggesting something…"
her:"No I’m making everyone else’s point. I’m just a peon round here...and I get peon round here."

I defer to the Dead Poets image on this. For simplicity sake, I said "acceptable". I meant, that after a date or so it is usually evident that they have widely varying values, are not looking for the same thing as me, are not at a point where they are ready to seriously date, don't understand my view on things, etc.

This may mean I am crazy, or I have a different value set than most of the people in central, semi-rural Indiana. I am going to go with the second as back in North Carolina there were a lot more women that I found things in common with, etc.

And sometimes that phase lasts all the way through life. Though, as I said, I'm usually not attracted to girls who want badboys anyway, so no loss there I guess.

I'm not that much of a gamer, the only games I ever finished were Space Marine and Mysteriet på Greveholm. I couldn't even get past Voldemort in the first Harry Potter game and probably would never gotten past the first boss in Ocarina of Time without the guidance of my friend who's played it a dozen times before.

I read an article somewhere that says all women are (on obviously varying levels) attracted to the "bad boy."  More specifically, women's minds are wired to respect men who take risks, of which riding a motorcycle is one.

Full disclosure, I'm in no way a bad boy, nor did I get my motorcycle to get chicks (as I was still married when I got it).  It's good on fuel economy and maintenence and it's way more fun to ride than to drive a boring car.  Also, it makes me feel cool, which is a nice perk.

you see I'm a weird gamer. I play stuff, a lot of different things, but I rarley finish them.  I am usually at the final level and stop to take a break and forget to come back to it.  Hell I just defeated the joker in batman arkham city but never went back to chase him.  It's like gamer add or something.  The kind of girls im attracted to is kind of hard for me to really pin down.  Call me shallow but I know what I like about a girl physically, but as far as personality wise I am still trying to figure that out.  Really wish the gif thread didnt go down in flames.  This video is like potato chips for me right now.  I cant stop watching it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCRFPh6A7Gc&feature=player_embedded#!).  And apparently thats a legit proposal at the end. Go get her dude!  :::cheers:::

If I was you, I would go to Bethesda building to meet girls. Maybe they have cosplay events?
Oddly enough I rarely run into geeky girls.  The only cosplay girl I ever really knew was my ex(see girlfriend thread) adopted sister who was really into drugs and is belimc.  I have never been to a con and halloween parties as an adult ive never been invited to.  The only cosplay I ever did was a hasing ritual to become a thesbian in highschool.  Males had to draw out of a hat of female disney characters and dress up as them.  I got daisy duck.  Wore big pink heels and everything.

@towishimp: I think also the badboys thing is they obviously have confidence are seem adventurous, plus the whole forbidden fruit thing.  Lots of girl's round here seem to be really attracted to married guys because they cant have them.  They wont try to start an affair but typically give them more attention/flirty.

and my old boss told me the same thing about motorcycles and being economical.

I think it's safe to say most people on this forum could hardly be classified as "badboys" be they adolescent nerds or middle aged family fathers (and everything in between).

You should see it, it has everything one could want from a musical, i.e religious satire, AIDS and a jarringly frequent use of the "c-word". Or as someone on Youtube put it: "I have faith in humanity when a show that has the lyric 'Frick god in the cunt!' wins the Tony for best musical." Never seen HMS Pinafore, though. How is it?

Haha. I'm still young at 33. Having three kids makes me feel much older, though. This is going to sound bad and I don't mean it to be arrogant but I have never really had problems attracting women. It's just my priorities are different now, with my kids at the top of that list. I've little time for, or interest in, playing the field. Being single was unsettling solely because I had been in two back-to-back long term relationships so it had been a while. That being said, I have met someone and things are going nicely for the time being, so it will likely work itself out.

Well there's your opportunity - make contact saying you want to get back into dance.
Then you can explore if she's free.

However from your description I was wondering if she was blonde .................... or "she's gorgeous" is indicating a change of attitude .................

well as I said we both met through tango and lost connections when my crazy ex had me stop.  We ran into each other a year ago where I found out she was working 2 blocks away.  I wouldn't mind getting back into tango and she is all about dancing so there's an avenue.

Well there's your opportunity - make contact saying you want to get back into dance.
Then you can explore if she's free.

However from your description I was wondering if she was blonde .................... or "she's gorgeous" is indicating a change of attitude .................

hahah I love you Misaki!  Nah she is brunette (though purple since her recent FB pic) she has a very Mediterranean look and is from Israel originally.  I just need to get over my awkwardness and ask about dance.

It's not the looks that really count. They help a little, but it's the confidence that broads go for. That's why they date assholes, because assholes tend not to care what anyone thinks of them and be arrogant, which looks a lot like self confidence at first glance.

Faenor, it really is as simple as just doing it.  The longer you wait, the more anxious you'll get over it.  Just ask and all the anxiety will be gone (one way or other).  You don't need a line or a perfect setup, just ask.

In Culpeper which is about 2 hours on a good day.  We probably got close to a foot.

It's the threat of snow.  If it hit and they didn't cancel stuff traffic would be hellish.  A snowstorm hit midday a couple of years ago and it took people 8, 9, 10 hours to get home.  It was like the apocalypse hit.  No joke.  People were abandoning their cars and checking into hotel rooms.  Everything was booked off the highways because people couldn't stand sitting in traffic forever.  It took me close to 3 hours to get home that day and I left almost right when it started.  Normally takes me an hour to get home.

My wife bought me a mechanical keyboard for my Birthday!  I play a lot of PC games and love the feel of the old timey mechanical keyboards.  CLICKETY CLACK!

It's a Razer Black Widow Ultimate.

Wow, nice. My wife would quickly become annoyed at the constant clickety noise. :D

Got a good load of Discworld books (I'm only now building up that collection, ideal gifts though price-wise). I also got some more gift cards and the GOTY editions of GTA4 and Red Dead Redemption.

I so want to play red dead redemption, but I do not have a PS3 and I hear the xbox version is a graphical garbage pale.


Went to lunch today and sat at the bar at austin grill over on E st. with my friends and I was getting a lot of attention from our barmaid. I figured I was delusional about it all until after we left my friends spoke up about it.

Ouch, those both hurt.  I've had both, yet rarely if anymore.  Because I wrecked up one knee, its more likely to occur there, but beyond that what I do to decrease the likelihood of the first, run on the front of my foot the whole way, but I don't mean the toes, and I no longer run heel to toe.  Regarding the second, I try to spend a decent amount of time stretching.  Although neither of those are probably absolute solutions.

As for experiencing runner's high, thats a bummer, but I do recommend that early on in the run, just use it as a warm up, don't expend yourself too much too soon, make it feel like a walk in the park rather than a massive intial effort.  Eventually the body will start clicking along smoothly and the run can feel a bit like it is some what effortless.  Thats kind of a way to explain a runner's high.

But I have expirienced gunners high on several occasion.  :icon_mrgreen:

The latest was wendesday, when I fired my first ever blackpowder shot with a matchlock musket. We fired a jubilee salute for our King Karl XVI Gustav and Landskrona city as they celebrated 600 years.

Rollin down the tank trail kickin' up dust,
TC's on the .50 cal raising a fuss,
I said Hey TC, whats the deal?
I got a grunt rollin through my front roadwheel.
Cause there's two things that I can't stand.
It's an M16 and an infantry man.
An M16 cause it always quits
And everyone knows the grunts are shit
Cause were mentally able and were physically fit
If you ain't armor than you aint shit!

Post by: t12161991 on April 02, 2013, 08:28:58 PM
Family history is one of those things that is simultaneously extremely boring and super interesting. The beginning of ours is really cool (2 relatives on the Mayflower, surviving Indian raids by pure happenstance, founding Yale, fighting on the wrong side of the Revolutionary War), and then there's basically nothing else cool outside of random isolated anecdotes (my great-great grandmother went from New York to San Francisco by herself when she was 12. By sea. Through what was then the Panama isthmus).

I had to do a project on it in 5th grade which I hated at the time, but in retrospect was really cool. We have records going all the way back to at least the Mayflower, and I think we have something from before that even. How they survived the various transitions just in say the 19th century I'll never know.

I am back in school now. At an actual university, in fact, after over a decade. Being a 33-year-old student has its advantages. Not sure what those are currently, but I'm sure they exist. This go around is somewhat different, study beers seem a poor decision and I'm not chasing skirt so perhaps I'll actually make this one stick. Fifth time's a charm, right? Right? I intend to be a high school teacher after this so the cold reality that one of your children will be subjected to my version of history just became real. Embrace the horror, suckas.

Play it either way for better assonance and or alliteration. For example in the previous sentence I would go with I-ther.

I say I-ther most of the time. I'm not sure why. Both of my parents said it that way as well so that could be why.

Has anyone here ever tried airsofting? I find it quite enjoyable and because I can't have "assault weapons" here it allows me to get some pretty cool looking toys

Well I doubt its just from the diet and exercise this week (who knows maybe it is?)but I cannot make my belly button talk anymore.

(http://i.imgur.com/fSESL.gif)

My daily diet and exercise plan I came up with.

breakfast: 1 fried egg, 2 pieces of toast (pepperidge farms light wheat bread, each slice is 45 cals with 1g of sugar. 1/3rd the amount of normal bread) with a tiny bit of local honey to help with allergies spead over the toast.  normaly its 10 cals for a tablespoon of honey, I had probably less than a teaspoon. 160-165? cals


(http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ayx6hqUB1qcwe9ho1_500.gif)
second breakfast: 2 cups of applesauce (fruit cups, not measuring cups) 180 cals

lunch: anything between 400-800 cals I can find around town

dinner: lettuce with bits of chicken and a little bit of light Italian dressing. 110 cals

exercise is a 30 minute run on a treadmill at the gym.  I switch to a brisk walk if I need a breather then back to running.  I do this without stopping.  The amount of sweat is crazy!  Once I can get to the point where I stop every 10 minutes I'll couple the run with lifting.

Was having a rough few days, yet I put this under happy thoughts because I realized today that in the grand scheme of things, my worries over a home refinance and my angst over not seeing my girl as much as I'd like are "first world problems."  I should be counting my blessings, not fretting over what isn't 100% perfect:  I have a house and I have a great girl in my life.  I have a great family.  I love my job.  My finances are secure.  It's important to see the forest for the trees.  And thank you Joss Wedon, for helping me realize this:

"Everything is so fragile. There's so much conflict, so much pain...you keep waiting for the dust to settle and then you realize it; the dust is your life going on. If happy comes along -- that weird unbearable delight that's actual happy -- I think you have to grab it while you can. You take what you can get, 'cause it's here, and then...gone." - Kitty Pryde, Astonishing X-Men #22 (I think...I was watching the animated version on Netflix (the print versions are in the mail as we speak!))

On my way to the karaoke birthday party - I'll do something I've never done before, i.e. I'll go on the stage and sing a song, all alone instead of asking a group of people whether I could join them.  My personal test of courage ... wish me luck! :happy:

I did it - and I was the only one singing all alone. Everyone else joined a group and had playback.

I went onto the stage after a group of professional singers when nobody else dared to continue, and yeah, Finlay, I am totally drunk ... too much Ramazotti (after I went onto the stage, not before).

It was great - and I am happy ...  :happy: :happy: :happy:

"you like eskimo dogs? me too, we are so awesome!"

I must admit, I do feel inclined to talk to other barefoot people I encounter, just because it's so rare to see any.

I saw a guy who was walking down the street barefoot once. I stepped on him with my boots. Not because I don't like people walking around barefoot. But I was just so mesmerized by the crusty nastiness walking toward me I forgot to move out of the way...

I don't know what they coat the streets with where you live, but I find that my feet feel a lot fresher when they haven't been cooped up in a pair of sweaty shoes all day. Dirt's just dirt.

Bible study? Bagged yourself a Born-Again Babe, eh?  :icon_mrgreen:

In all seriousness, congrats. An LDR can be good for one's ego and provide incentive to do some travelling. The important thing is to be willing to trade the interweb relationship in for an IRL relationship if a cool local girl came along. I caused a lot of bad feelings six years ago because I was really into an internet friend from Texas and neglected my local girlfriend.

nah she's just religious but not in a pushy way.  I think its adorable that she and goes to church, bible study, and says gosh instead of god.  I also think its cool that she's a scientist that messes with rat brains all day.

I suppose this should go in the yeah/boo thread as she comes off very flirty and wants to hang out constantly but has stated that we are too far away to be together when the clan-mates teased us.

Really?  Maybe it's because I live in the Midwest, but I thought it was pretty common everywhere.  It's a weekly class where you study the Bible...like a book club that only ever reads one book.  My church had them, organized by age, as a way to get you into the building more than just on Sunday.  Bible study was a big part of my social life when I was in junior high/high school.

I've heard of it before but never really knew what it was. The Christian Vietnamese I went to Jr. High had something like it but they just called it Viet School or something like that. some of my friends had Sunday School but that was really it.
I've never actually gone to church because my Dad is/was Muslim and my Mom is Agnostic.

we were trying to watch some more firefly and some guy not in the clan joined our TS (he is interested) and was trying to impress her.  he sent us both friend requests in Steam.  we finally got rid of him and he started harassing her via steam chat with a lot of innuendo and stuff.  started to creep her out.  She finally logged out of steam and we ended up talking and hanging out until 4am.  I have to wake up for work at 7:30am....was fun though.

he was trying to speak french to one girl in TS earlier for a bit and then tried to pull the same thing on the girl I have been talking about.  Really smarmy.  The girl I have been talking about asked if I was getting a bit jealous and I answered "eh, a little."  She laughed like it was cute.  I want to ask her about perhaps doing a LDR but somehow it sounds dumb in my head.  Just don't want to complicate things.  I am dumb. :icon_lol:

I had a result today.

Since I came back from Salute on April 20th I have been trying to find a source for some rubberised horse hair - I've googled upholsterers in towns I have been going to where I work and where I have been visiting customers - all to no avail.
I have googled and found tiny pieces for mucho dinero on hobby scenery sites, and large 6' x 3' sheets on upholstery suppliers sites for £40 upwards.

So today I have been off tidying up before departing for the Bash, and I was down my home town high street when I walked past a very long established very posh furniture store - that I probably have not ventured into for 20 years, and lo and behold I espied the word 'upholstery' in the window.

5 minutes later I walked away with 4 offcuts totalling about 2+ square feet for the cash in hand sum of £4.00

RESULT.

Back from my whitewater rafting trip and it was a blast.  We only had three in our group, which meant a light raft...which means you get knocked around more by the water, but also that your guide has better control over the boat.  Once he found out we were good paddlers and liked taking hits, he started putting us in the craziest stuff, and we ended up taking what he called "the biggest hit" he'd ever seen.  It knocked me and the other guy in front down, and the guide almost fell out.  When we popped out the other end, all the other people were staring at us, amazed that we didn't flip and that no one fell out.  It was epic.

Today was pretty happy and kind of random for me.
Technically this was my senior year of high school but because I had amassed a bunch of extra credits though Summer School, Community Colleges, and AP classes I basically skipped my senior year and graduated very very early, took my diploma, moved out and went straight to work with out walking the stage or having a real graduation. The other day I got a call from my parents telling me that the school had sent a letter saying I could attend the graduation with the rest of my class. Despite high school seeming like such a thing of the past I really enjoyed being able to see people I probably wouldn't have ever seen again.

It's about 1:45 AM Here and I'm so drunk I don't know how I'm Typing! I just had the greatest going away party... My living room looks like a murder scene with everyone passed out on the floor! Someone filled my Pinto with chickens! We had a great bonfire too. Someone found an old magnesium block out of an old Volkswagen and it burnt like crazy... Now off to bed.

That person is using some kind of filter for the camera lens right? Otherwise it couldn't be any near pure magnesium, that stuff burns with a intense white glare.

My father once burned a ship emergency magnesium flare on new years eve. Just a tiny peek directly at that thing from 20 meters gave spots on your eyes for half an hour or so.

At least these guys weren't stupid enough to go throw on the water with a bucket or something! :icon_smile:

They must have filtered it or something. The one we had out no one could get anywhere near or look at really. I broke it up with a splitting maul first and we burned it in pieces.

I've finally gotten my friends to realize how fantastic Firefly is, and we're soon starting the second part of a two day marathon. I curse the pilot episode for not being quite on par with the rest of the season, it's really hard to draw people in by just showing the pilot.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on July 01, 2013, 02:53:42 PM
thanks Finlay!

yeah the pilot episode is kind of rough but it sets up the universe, characters, and is really well done when you break it down (like Mal using many religious/faith symbols in the war and then after he wants nothing to do with it, showing he lost everything including his faith in serenity valley).  Though it is not as fun as the other episodes.  There is a tone shift halfway through the season from serious to more light hearted and fun.

wow. first day traveling to work from my new place.  The women are intimidatingly hot, and numerous. :unsure: Yay self consciousness. Ah well. Got a run in this morning and kind of want to tonight but I dont want to push too hard at the start.  Arm and shoulder hurt for some reason.  Probably healing up from the move.  The most physical thing Ive done in awhile.  Friend who left my work in December came back today and remarked that he gained weight and I lost weight.  I didnt know how to take the complement.  Mah belly still sticks out to much IMHO.  Roomate was saying its 95% confidence and 5% body when it comes to women.  But I still cant help but be intimidated a bit lol. Some less intimidating women were passing me  in the hall with their lil dog and I greeted them and the dog stopped them cause it wanted to hang outside my door as I was trying to get in. Was cute.  Girls were a bit friendly but not enough to strike up a conversation.

I saw the film before the series, and I thought it was was kind of disconnected from the series. When I saw the film again later, there were a couple of things that stood out as a bit strange.

Still, the film has to stand on its own legs.

I watched close to an hour of it.  It was on a really shitty streaming site and I have seen clips of it in HD and it looks spectacular.  Will wait.  But I agree, and was surprised that I got most of the diction, knowing that if I watched it with my family only my sister would get most of it.  My dad, mom, and brother would be lost haha.

How things change - when I played, you walked - you knew you'd hit it, and you walked.

However I must admit a strange satisfaction when Broad stayed and got away with it - almost .............. but not quite, made up for Chappell's underarm ball ..................................  :engel:

Ran out of things we did to England to whinge about, so you need to bring up poor Trev? Greg did a number on his career with that one.

These days cricket is big money and players' careers/sponsorships hang on stats and results - in that environment who can blame him. Dar needs a white cane and pair of black glasses. All on him. The hotspot epic fail with Trott is just as bad.

But do they not almost 100% of the time know if they hit it or not? Clarke nicked it, quite clearly, and referred it, saying “oh I thought I hit my pad”- bollocks!

Interestingly, Nothing on hotspot showed up for Broad’s nick, so perhaps batsmen now thinking it’s worth a review even if given out.

England played better than Australia, the bad umpiring and DRS stuff perhaps getting in the way of showing that- Agar should have been out for 6, and trot not out for a duck! If that’s the case we probably win by 200 runs.
I was there for day 3 and 4, and watched day 5 on sky. Over 2.5 days, Finn bowled ONE good spell, bowled two spells which let ozzie in to the match, dropped a catch and scored 2 runs. Cook couldn’t/wouldn’t use him.
I wish they’d dropped him from the squad so he could go and bowl for his county and come back for 4th and 5th test… Bresnan HAS to play test 2… unfortunately as in general I prefer Finn’s bowling. Just not at the moment.
Bring back Tremlett!


I always liked Anderson even early on. He lost a lot of runs but he could make things happen...
Think he'll be pushing Botham's 383 wickets by the end of the australian series. 9 more matches, 66 behind.
Think he'll overtake him after next summer with 10 Indian bunnies on English green tops.

06/07 is unlikely to happen again for a generation. But was it ever fun :D

Test cricket is unreal. Imagine if our top order knew how to bat. I'd love to sack Shane Watson, arrogant tool and serial review waster.
I think 06/07 showed how flukey england were to win in 05. Only won the 2 tests where McGrath didn't play, and by 2 runs and 3 wickets!

still, think england have a good chance for 4 series in a row at the moment.
I'm really not impressed by your top or middle order at all, and your 10 wicket partnerships wont do that every match!

agar's stumping even worse- a difference of 150 runs!



I'm going to try and get to a test ever summer now as it was insanely enjoyable.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Sig on July 15, 2013, 09:54:46 AM
I felt at least the Agar stumping was doubtful. Trott and Broad - no.

Our team really is pretty horrible. Probably 06/7 Poms bad (I agree about 05) but your guys aren't McGrath, Warne and co so will just beat rather than thrash I think.

Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on July 18, 2013, 08:05:59 PM
I wouldnt be surprised oakprince.  Sounds like something primal back from when we all were cavemen searching for acceptable mates. Big hips, big boobs, lush hair indicates healthy which means better chance of having healthy children and all that.  Brains are wired funny. What we call "attraction" is really our genes being like "we need that for our offspring! So they can have offspring!"

But you can have nice boobies which are small!

The niceness, not the size, of boobies > hair for sure!
I still think a nice set of DD paired with a buzz cut isnt as attractive as a shapeless A cup with lush gorgeous hair. But I think it would depend on a "case by case" basis.  So I'll drink to your statement.  :::cheers:::  Christina Mack likes to shave half her head, but she still looks gorgeous.

Indeed, this hair thing is making no sense to me. I mean I suppose I've never spent anytime inspecting the health of the hair of perspective females like some sort of Dog Show Judge does a Labrador's coat. Hair is almost as changeable as clothing styles so if anything it may offer a vague clue as to personality but nothing concrete to work off and even then that may be a stretch.

If she has really dull/limp/thin hair, it makes my subconscious think "unhealthy".

I only think 'unhealthy' if they list off a myriad of food allergies....

So some of the guys at the office bug me to see transformers 3 because I am a fan of the old stuff.  I finally sat down and watched it.  My supervisor said it is the best action movie ever made.  He gives it 5/5.  Honestly I give it a 3.5.  If they took out all the Sam stuff in the first two hours (which was excruciating to sit through! like forks in the optics bad!) then perhaps a solid 4 or 4.5.  This is barring any little nerd stuff too (my eyes?! should be my optics!).  A lot of people didnt like the blonde, I thought she was fine and served her purpose.  The only gripe with her I had was how did she know who megatron was? Thats really a problem with writers than an actress's abilities.  Was it an oscar winning performance by her? no but again i thought she was okay and served her purpose. Could megan fox had done a better/worse job? nope. :laugh: Other than that if they did a strictly war for cybertron movie then I think I would have enjoyed it better.  Hell in the first few minutes you could see the war for cybertron and I was like "yeah we need some of this!" The humans and the US military porn was so palpable I could taste it with every fiber of my being. Too many 'Murica moments.  There is more I could say but I wont.  I need to get to bed.

again I give it a 3.5/5

My routine is to run as much as I can then walk then switch back to running blah blah for 30 minutes without stopping.  Last week I started with 3 minutes then 2 minutes then 1 minute of walking.  The next day 4,3,2 then 5,3,2 then 6,3,2 then 8, 4, 3 (thats half the whole routine running!) then last Friday I made a whole 10 minutes without stopping!  I started running but had to stop at 2 minutes because I has some crazy pain in my shins like I pulled something.  ended up walking another 10 minutes before i just stopped completely.  Stayed off it for the weekend and today I did 7, 4, 3, 2 (woo hoo 16 minutes!).  Shin started bothering me again on the first 7 minutes but only slightly so I stopped for a couple of minutes.  I am guessing I either pulled something or am just really shocking my muscles with exercising.  So far this is the start of the 3rd week (really 2 since that first week I never finished until friday when I got my new shoes, old shoes hurting my feet only 8 minutes in.) :::cheers:::

I'll second that. Definitely sounds like shin splints.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: b0007452 on August 08, 2013, 10:40:51 PM
Shin splints are a real possibility. In which case new shoes might help, I'd probably go for something more natural and less structured like a Nike Free Run for example; they tend to make running much more comfortable. Either that or look to get an inner sole which can take a bit of pressure off your foot.

There is something else to try which might help if it's a tendon that tightens because you haven't stretched properly. If it's a pain that runs from the back of your ankle up the interior of your shin it could be a tendon. To deal with it take a ball like a tennis ball or a golf ball and roll it around with your foot. It will effectively massage the bottom of your foot and it loosens the tendon up. I get tight tendons when I'm training, especially at the minute during pre-season and I tend to do it as a precaution everytime I exercise anyway.

Also I can't emphasise enough stretching properly pre and post workout.

Hope you sort our your problem.

Oh yeah, that rings a bell. My memory circuits are malfunctioning of late - I think they're going rusty with age. So, basically, all Borg are numbered, in fact numbered twice, rather than named. I feel so foolish!

Well she had a wonderful rear - viewed in that tight costume.

Interesting marriage Jeri Ryan had a while back - married to a politician with some interesting ideas of taking his wife on holiday, involving participation in a French strip club as I recall .............. allegedly ................. 

Not married to him anymore, and she has resurfaced on TV in "Body of Proof"

More Morgue than Borg these days .......................Boom Boom

Had to order those elastic stockings you need for surgery and thought of these horribly looking ones you usually get at the hospital ... well, it turned out they actually have some looking like sexy lingerie in really nice colours ... so it'll be more fun wearing them than I thought.   :icon_lol:

Hopefully, surgery won't be as bad as I think either.  :unsure:

He's got his heart in the right place and doesn't try to impress anyone, he's just himself. I like that. We have good chemistry. Not sure where this is going ... but for the first time in months, it feels right.

Elsewhere, in Finland

"Photographer Lassi Rautiainen recently captured the profound partnership between a she-wolf and a brown bear in the wilds of northern Finland. For days, he witnessed the strange pair meet every evening to share food after a hard day of hunting. No one knows when or how this relationship was formed, “but it is certain that by now each of them needs the other.”

Just to make it clear...I agree that it is bad and can be emotionally scarring for little children if a person they are close with leaves their lives and I applaud how well the mother of the children and the non bio father from Feanors story seem to have worked it out. From my personal experience though it is very often the case that the mother of the children prevents this and even uses the children to hurt the person who left the family. See me too just referring to a personal experience.

Dunno why it's taken so long, but someone Constantly telling me to 'be my own man', frequently telling me 'I told you so' (in not so many words) being hypercritical of my actions, offering solutions to things I just wanted to have a bit of a moan about and constantly complaining about herself and being judgemental of others was what lead to me feeling insecure and bad about myself.

Hello everyone. Haven't been on here for months, which is a shame because I do like this place. Especially the back table!

The reason is that I've started going to school again after dropping out a year and a half ago. I'm really enjoying it so far, and for maybe once in my life I'm looking forward to going back to school on mondays. :icon_mrgreen: I'm attending...I guess most of you would call it senior high school? The school is really different from any other school I've gone to. It's an Acriculture school, so in addition to the regular classes like math and biology we do a lot of practical things like learning to drive tractors and taking care of farm animals. I also live at the school monday-friday. It's hard work sometimes but it's really fun.

I've missed this place, hopefully I'll start posting around the forums a bit more again. :)

wow, today I learned what the recommended caloric intake is for sedentary men is...and that lately I've been doing significantly less.  Supposedly is 2,000-2,600.  I've been doing 1,100-1,500 thinking that's the normal amount and that 1,400 was the recommended amount for everyone. 2,000-2,600 seems high for not being active. I didn't even realize there were different recommendations for men and women.

I've been doing 200 in the morning, 800 for lunch, and 100-200 for dinner.

when I was on field trip in turkey, we went to see some old stones in this farmers field, with inscriptions from... its bad that I forget, but I do... pretty damn old (pre-roman) and interesting.

When I visited ancient Ephesus, the Turkish tour guides that took our group through would say hilariously historically inaccurate things. Like that the goddess Nike was from Brazil and ancient Greece and Brazil used to touch. Or just make up things about random structures that we'd pass.

Not sure How they would fair in TW.  What with all the cannons and mass rifle infantry, I'd think they would get cut to pieces.  Companion cav is good enough for Rome 2 though.  Them with thorax pike-men and some archer support.  Just make mince meat of the enemy.

There are certainly more Italians with blond hair than there were Romans. In Roman times, it was rare enough (but not too rare) to be used as cognomen (Flavus).

At the end of the Barbarian Invasions, Eastern Rome had reconquered much of Italy, with the exception of the Longobardian Kingdom. In the 9th century, Sicily and Sardinia were taken by the Arabs. From 1027 onwards, the Normans conquered Southern Italy (including Sicily).

She is something to look at, but lets face it this hobby is not a girl magnet. I did see a pretty girl here in Germany (in this hobby), but sadly she had a boyfriend.

A few days ago a girl gave me a surprise visit, and I tried to hide/clean all models. Sadly (?) I did not managed and she saw some unpainted figures. I am pretty sure the topic would have come out later (in the relationship? I hope), but was a little awkward explaining why I had a bunch of toys. She took it pretty well after I explained you had to paint it.

I never had luck when I showed girls the computer games I played, so I am not sure whats going to happen with this hobby. Any tips/suggestions? Do you get propose before or after you show her Karl Franz?

Säugetier!
you'll have to explain this one to me.  German slang equivalent to a cougar?


@Realjuan: just say its a part of a board game you play if she asks.  Girls can be interested in games, those who arn't sometimes like to watch story based games (CoD is out).

Remember this is HOW and WHEN to say it. Not if you SHOULD say it or if you CHANGE how you are. Lets face it, talking about the empire fluff in the first date is a "no no". Bringing your girl to the mancave with you 200+ miniatures and your amazing  tabletop COULD scare even the nicest girl, but throwing a little "I can't on sunday because I am meeting some friends to play a game" is much better. Lets admit that we are all a little let down if you talking with a girl for the first time, and she tells you she collects stamps? (Which I think is a nice hobby) If you send her a postcard, and then she mentions that the stamp is one of her missing one is way better.

Now I apologize if anyone took my post to seriously. My women department does well and the important part for me was the "Happy" part of the post.

(in the relationship? I hope)
The random was being grab on the wrong foot when I had to explain the models.
Do not be afraid, everything went alright and we are looking for nice interesting dates. These dates include cooking, dancing, and going to the swimming pool with an POSSIBLE painting model afternoon.

@Feanor Fire Heart Kind of what I did, and I also said that painting helps me reduce my stress.

I wouldn’t try and involve a newgirl in the hobby.  I also probably wouldn’t raise it myself for the first few dates. Obviously different when she goes to your house and sees the models.  I don’t think I’ve EVER talked about Empire fluff with my wife, and we’ve been together for 7 years.

I don’t think I’ve ever talked to Ellie about American football strategy, apart from to tell her how awesome FOLES is.

Exactly this.  I'm not ashamed of my hobbies (Call of Duty, Warhammer, Magic the Gathering).  I don't hide them, and any girl that comes to my house will probably see elements of at least one sitting around.  If she doesn't want to be with a guy who's into "nerd stuff" or whatever, then I don't want to be with her, anyways. 

That said, I can see why the situation Realjuan described would be awkward. 
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on October 14, 2013, 08:10:21 PM
Which is interesting, now-a-days "nerd stuff" has seeped into mainstream culture so much, finding a girl who doesn't have at least one nerdy interest is rare.  Being nerdy has become a cute trait whereas before 10 years ago it was seen as a repulsive trait.  Just don;t overwhelm them with it.  If she takes interest in your hobby or "geek stuff" take baby steps.  If she asks what it is a short explanation is all that's required.  Just don't come off as embarrassed if she finds them or if she asks what they are.  Just be nonchalant.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: towishimp on October 14, 2013, 08:26:46 PM
I definitely agree.  Since I've started dating, tattoos usually comes up, and at first I was embarassed to mention that I want to get one of a phoenix; I assumed no one would know what that was, and an awkward, nerdy explanation of a mythological beast would ensue.  I guess thanks to Harry Potter, every girl I've told it to has know what a phoenix was; most even knew that it symbolizes rebirth.

I always just intitially say something like, "Oh, that's just stuff for a game I play with my buddies."  If they're curious, I'm happy to answer follow-up questions.

Hell its a myth from way back in the day.  If they don't know what a phoenix is they are uncultured and not worth your time.  I'm with Finaly on that one.  Plus some girls like learning about myths if you know how to tell a good story.  Some even think its romantic.  Girls dig whimsical/mystical stuff like that if presented the right way.  I think its one of the reasons Dr. Who is catching on big with American girls here.  Especially the Amy Pond stuff.  A mystical man with a magical box whisking you all over time and space on adventure.  Almost sounds like a trashy romance novel.  :icon_lol:

Nope, she's actually pretty nerdy.  I suspected as much at first too but I have been surprised numerous times.  She's a huge videogame, LOTR, and comic book super hero nerd.  Hell those two met through "rate my picture.com" and she was sporting Arwen's "Everstar" necklace.  The dude was the only one who messaged her to have noticed.  They started chatting and playing Mario cart and other games online (she in California and he living in Wisconsin) He started flying out to meet her, eventually moved to California with her and dating for 6 years, popping the question last summer.  She's huge into cosplay and making her own outfits.  I aint gonna argue that her costumes stress the most common super power (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostCommonSuperPower) because thats a given.  Hell I came across their youtube show on icanhascheezburger's  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCRFPh6A7Gc)gamer section where they posted this original music video (containing the proposal).  The song is such an earworm I got it on itunes.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCRFPh6A7Gc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCRFPh6A7Gc)

She was really friendly and as happy to see me as I was her, so that was great! :icon_mrgreen: Losing touch with this girl was really dumb of me in the first place, so hopefully we'll have an opportunity to catch up soon (in fact...we have the next week off school, so...).

The neighbors above me didn't find out that anyone else was affected by their leaky water heater until they stopped by to warn us that they were setting up a new dishwasher, just in case their was some water leakage.  The young woman then noticed it was freezing in our unit. I explained what had happened and she was shocked!  Apparently no one told her about it.  She thought I was mad at her.  I reassured her a couple of time that its not her fault and to not worry about it.  I was just explaining why it was cold haha.  They left this on my door step this afternoon "Hope things get better soon. Diane + Jeremy" red velvet wine.

Seriously, take it down and secure it into a wall stud.  You've got two small kids, you don't want the TV to fall down on top of them.  Also, you would have to replace the TV.

While you're at it, put a wall plug behind the top of the bookshelf and screw through the back wall of the bookshelf into the wall plug.  Kids like to climb, and bookshelves have well-placed footholds.  Bookshelves are not balanced for climbing.

Long story short on upper body:

Suffered a bad partial dislocation of the shoulder that was then left untreated for... 2 years.

Long story short on lower body:

Was on a depression medication which caused some mild pain in legs. It was doubled and two days later I lost the ability to walk for a few weeks. Almost a year later and I can walk, with a cane, for about 50 yards before I need to stop and rest. I'm also almost always in pain.

One of the best movies I've seen lately: Life is not for cowards.  :happy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUrns4nS8vo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUrns4nS8vo)

"The life of the Färber family is completely unhinged after a bizarre accident leading to the mother’s death. While Markus clings onto the past and cannot come to terms with the loss of his wife, his fifteen-year-old daughter Kim runs away to Denmark with Alex, a cool guy who has dropped out of school, and visits the setting of her childhood. Together with his mother Gerlinde and her lively caretaker, Paula, Markus sets off to search for his daughter and so embarks on a journey of self-discovery."



The movie is about coping with a bereavement, and it tells the story from the grandmother's perspective who is facing her own death due to cancer (which she hides from her son who has just lost his wife and her granddaughter who has just lost her mother), and the perspective of father and daughter without ever sentimentalising it or transforming it into kitsch.

Saw "Frozen"  it was good.  Thought the snowman was going to be a cringe worthy, annoying, loud, obnoxious character.  I was surprisingly wrong.  I groaned at his song opening but his song ended up being kind of funny.  The reindeer and the ice delivery guys dynamic is great.  The sister dynamic is intriguing.  I like the way Disney lampshades their own disney cliches.  Warning, it is a musical on par with "Wicked" or "Nightmare before Christmas."  Worth a look.

Well it is a Disney movie!

My girlfriend's cousin was one of the lead animators on the film, so we went to go see it on the opening weekend. I actually enjoyed it too! It was funny, had really redeeming themes, and was a good spin on the typical Disney story (prince must come along and complete some damsel's life).

Well thought long and hard about placing this either in the mixed blessings, the unhappy or the happy thread.

But after all decided to put it here.

I am now divorced from the Warhammer-Weib, we had some great years and some not so great and it should be apparant that nobody is a saint even though in the splitting up it is incredibly hard to remain objective as I am rather sure that each one has its own perspective on things and becomes more adamant about it by every real and imagined slight.

I will miss the kids even though they weren´t mine, and I am rather sad how the events unfolded especially the last half year between my now ex-wife and me.

Well that chapter of my life is now closed and I will open a new one.

I met another woman and am incredibly happy with her as she can accept who I am on top of being amazing on many different levels. There have already been dire times but after all we came out on top and the happy news from a couple of days ago were that she ....because of her kind spirit and insane amounts of luck made it into a medical research group in a very high position (usually impossible for a woman that young) and will go to Ohio for a couple of months and most likely I will go along with her for a while. I am very happy for her...and for myself that I am with her.

Sounds like its already a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire.  I find its wise for me to take time off, figure out what I did wrong, and work on my issues so I can have a healthier relationship in the future.  I've never been one who jumps from one relationship to the next, and most folks I know only get themselves into more trouble eventually doing it that way.

Been working on my issue through a recovery program for three years now, and currently involved in helping lead the program.  I've taken big steps for improving my ability to have healthier relationships with all kinds of people; family, friends, colleages, and other significant folks that are part of my life.  I sense I am close to being at a point where I can have a healthy relationship with a woman, too.  Been doing some dating, testing the waters so to speak, and perhaps in 2014, maybe I'll encounter a lady that I can have a healthy relationship with moving forward from there.  Even if not, I'm still in a better place than I was 3 years ago, accomplishing goals, maintaining my limits, taking care of myself in a good way.  Life is good!

I've met a few guys from Cleveland and Akron that play.  I don't know if they have an organized group.  There's a group down in Columbus, but that's a 2-3 hour drive, probably not worth the trip for a single game.

There are a few regular tournaments in the Ohio-New York area.  Buckeye Battles (http://buckeyebattles.com/) in Columbus in the summer, Da Boyz GT (http://daboyzgt.com/) in Rochester in the Fall.  There's also a regular event in Toledo, probably another 2 hour drive from Cleveland.  I'm not sure of the name or dates offhand.

Two boring series (although I guess ozzies will think this one is fun!)
Both totally non competitive, and even when England were winning they didn’t do it with any panache. The side’s been almost all downhill since reaching the #1rankings.

Why aren’t the grounds full? I ready today there were more English fans in than ozzie ones! To watch them win an ashes series.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Sig on December 17, 2013, 11:52:18 AM
The one in England was way closer than the scoreline suggested. 1 game absolutely saved by the rain, another very arguably saved by the rain, and one won by like 16 runs? There was only one absolute rubbish thrashing. I wouldn't say uncompetitive at all.

That said this series is uncompetitive yes. Inexplicably shit play by Prior, Cook and KP. Really like Carberry though.

I guess Perth is a small city, most people were at work and once we expected the win what's the point? It's generally pretty hard to get holidays at this time since it's not just Christmas but the summer school holidays too. Also the WACA is a shit ground for spectators. It's actually going to lose Test status, not because of the insane pitch but because the facilities are so bad.

But of course we're enjoying it! 28 runs off an Anderson over by a scrub! Arrogant prick Swann getting taken apart! I feel bad for Cook though, your press are savage and he seems a genuinely nice bloke.

Me and firefly girl meet up for wine and desert.  Then the establishment was trying to shoo us out after I paid the bill so we wander all over DC telling stories and having fun.  We ended up in front of the White House and talking about how beautiful yet quaint it looked.  I leaned in and kissed her on the lips.  She was all bashful and then she leaned in for a second.  Through the night I found out that she really likes kissing. Not make outs (yet) just on the lips.  It has been over a year since I kissed a woman.  She was holding onto my arm the entire night as we explored more of DC. We went to the train station so we could head back to our respective homes.  I walked her to her train and we chatted some more.  She help onto my coat so I wouldnt get away and we kissed some more.  She's so bashful every time I look at her in her eyes after we kiss.  Its frekin adorable.  I teased her about it a bit.  Tonight was spectacular!

I seem to have stumbled into the most healthy relationship I've had in years! Mostly by fancy dress and excessive quantities of alcohol ironically.

Also I found the coat I lost at our staff party. I left it in the pub.

Me and firefly girl meet up for wine and desert.  Then the establishment was trying to shoo us out after I paid the bill so we wander all over DC telling stories and having fun.  We ended up in front of the White House and talking about how beautiful yet quaint it looked.  I leaned in and kissed her on the lips.  She was all bashful and then she leaned in for a second.  Through the night I found out that she really likes kissing. Not make outs (yet) just on the lips.  It has been over a year since I kissed a woman.  She was holding onto my arm the entire night as we explored more of DC. We went to the train station so we could head back to our respective homes.  I walked her to her train and we chatted some more.  She help onto my coat so I wouldnt get away and we kissed some more.  She's so bashful every time I look at her in her eyes after we kiss.  Its frekin adorable.  I teased her about it a bit.  Tonight was spectacular!

I'm at work on Christmas, but my family planned around my weird schedule so that I still got to spend time with them.  And, when my shift ends today, I'll be off work for vacation until January 4th!

(Also, in case anyone was wondering, I've been absent on WE for the last few weeks because I've been training a new dispatcher.  Thus, my spare time between calls is spend training the puppy, rather than watching Youtube and posting on WE.)

yes.  Saw it with soem friends and the second time was with the girlfriend, surprised it was a packed theater the second time I saw it because it has been out for a little more than a month!  There was an article that came out the next day saying it opened at #2, the next week #1 then other hyped movies took the number one spot only for it to come back to #1 for the last 2 weekends, that this is one of those "I want to watch it again" movies.  Plus the songs are pretty great.  Its pretty good and in its own ways makes fun of Disney's own tropes (which is funny considering its a Disney movie). I'd give examples but it would be major spoilers.  Even the annoying snowman was surprisingly not that annoying. Honestly i'd give it 5/5 stars.

Suspect it's no coincidence that this is being posted, when a thread, started by the same author of the post quoted here, was spouting negativity towards America, and that thread was closed just a little bit ago.  Bringing negative garbage into this thread isn't the idea for this thread, and the view being espoused by the T.V. actor is more hyperbole designed to appeal to those who might provide only an emotional reaction leading to inappropriate action, rather than contemplative consideration and real movement in a positive direction to achieve improvement.

Oh a happier note ... life is good! :::cheers:::

Oh dear - just realised he probably will not see this post.   :engel:




Seriously though, I assume the ignore list means you do not see their posts at all?
What happens if someone else quotes them?
And how does the thread deal with post numbering?

Mids, your an Administrator, albeit an elderly one. Okay, ancient. Therefore I will explain to you functions of the forum entrusted to your gnarled claws.
 :-D

Ignore doesn't get rid of posts from persons you're igoring, it just doesn't show them. Instead of the post, you see a notification that you are ignoring this user. You do have the option to click to see what's in the post anyway, if you're so inlcined, but by default it's not visible.

If someone else is quoting that post, you'll be able to see it. It ain't that smart, unfortunately.

Sorry that I appear that way, not my intention.  At the same time, I don't understand the "ignore list".  And whether or not I'm on the "ignore list", if a post has been made, and its ok for me to respond, then I might.  And it's already been previously demonstrated that I'm not really being "ignored", because my posts are being responded to by the person that supposably is ignoring me.  Besides, I'm with Midaski on this one, and even if I understood what the "ignore list" means, not sure I see a point in using it.  Suspect we'll all get over it, too.

Congrats! And well earned I guess.

Thanks  :::cheers::: I'm one of 3 people in my Battalion to have gotten promoted early.

Nice :)
You might know a friend of mine then :)
Travis King is also stationed there, his wife Sarika is a good friend of mine.

Personally, I am still wearing my winter jacket, but to Germans anything over 0 degrees is summer; therefore, BBQ season is open. This ruined my "lets be productive" weekend, but I enjoy outdoors BBQs so much that I will try to go to few I am invited this weekend.

I really enjoy warm climate so this makes me happy and its pretty random :D

I'm doing BBQ too this weekend.  Currently on the smoker is a nice beef brisket.  Thinking about a pork shoulder tomorrow.

One of my daughters is working on a Trojan horse in her visual arts lessons. She told me she would need pictures of 'warriors' this morning. So I gave her a few old White Dwarf magazines. I'm pretty sure there aren't any other moms playing warhammer. That's certainly going to be the coolest pic by far, full of soldiers from different fantasy armies. :biggriin:

I just got invited to perform a striptease in a bachelorette party. I do not have the body that I think most women would like to see, but for me this could be fun. At least it will be an extra motivation to do more sit ups.

why would you want to do that?

He already mentioned it - because he thinks it would be fun.

@Realjuan: if that's indeed the long and short of it, why not? BUT! make sure it's a) a private setting and b) make it clear to the ladies that cameras are a very stern no-no. In fact, make sure the bachelorette in question is with you on this. If they don't comply with that, don't deliver. Unless you fancy finding your stripping ass on the internet for everyone (including prospective employers) to see.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: patsy02 on March 19, 2014, 11:42:32 PM
1. Can you actually dance?
2. Are you getting paid?

If the answer to either of these is 'no', don't do it.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Aldaris on March 19, 2014, 11:49:18 PM
b) would be nice, but "really wanting to do that because something new he's excited to try" works as well.
a) is pretty much indispensable though. Unless you get off on humiliation.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Realjuan on March 20, 2014, 12:23:51 AM
1) I don't consider myself a good dancer, but I enjoy it a lot and I think that makes it up because I do get invited to dance often.
2) I am not getting paid. I don't need money atm, so 20-100 euros wouldn't matter for me and anything higher they probably get a real stripper. The reason I am thinking of doing it is for the fun. I think it going to be more of a house party with a handful of guys doing a little dance/striptease up the underwear, and probably a lot of girls around. Some drinks, dancing, and a normal party apart from the striptease.

I am just happy they asked me, and I like the thrill of thinking of doing it. Like I said a little more motivation for workout and that's never bad.

Can you fall in love with the same girl twice?
I met a girl 2 years ago and immediately like her. We dance, and talk but our paths diverge just a day after. Last week in the same location a girl got my attention with her smile, while I was hypnotize by her cute face she rushes towards me. I have to admit I was a little shocked and did not know what to expect, after a short greeting someone asked her if she knew me. She answers, "yes, he is a really good dancer" and then I made the connection. I am still smiling writing this.

Later that week I was dancing with another girl, and a guy was jealous. He kept trying to pull her away from me, and she kept coming back. Then she told me, "I am not a really good dancer, so I want someone like you that shows me what to do". We spend the whole night dancing, and walking under the stars.

I am not a good dancer, but there must be something that made these 2 girls liked dancing with me and I am really happy.  Considering joining some dance course salsa, tango or what do you recommend?

Connection is only the first level of finding love.  Then probelm solving, learning to heal, accepting what is, and attraction all play a role.

Congrats, but don't let it get to your head either.  Dancing can be fun and full of connection experiences, but there's more to a relationship than just that.

Learning a dance style is not like just showing up for dancing in a club where your body is jiggled in some random way.  Be prepared to make a commitment to learning the style of dance that is chosen when taking lessons, and you'll find that such things as salsa, tango, ballroom, and west coast are not easy to pick up and just do it.  As for picking which one to start, its best to do some research and see which one looks intriguing, yet if it end's up not being liked, then try a different style instead.

I agree dancing would be a really superficial reason to stay in a relationship, and I do have to work in some of these:

problem solving, learning to heal, accepting
. The main issue was that getting that feedback made my week, and in general I had a great time.

Sadly not many good pictures, because someone forgot to put sunblock and I turn really red.

As long as we don't confuse compliments with what real love is than I say congrats!  And if a relationship blossums, and the compliments continue into areas beyond dancing, especially gratitude expressed in an ongoing manner, and reciprocated, this is a good thing, too.  I've been a ballroom dancer for around 12 years, an ATer for about 9, and once I got to being a decent leader there have been a decent number of compliments and expressions of apreciation from ladies along the way, and it can feel good.  Yet ultimately its not really what I live for with dance, it's more about the motion to the music and the feelings that flow, although having it be a social past time is good and healthy, too.  It might take some investment of time, effort, and money to determine what style(s) you might enjoy, but its worth it.  Good luck with your adventure and have fun!  :::cheers:::

Congratulations. And the US give the medal for free - as do all other countries, with the exception of Belgium. We get the certificate and then have to buy them ourselves. One would almost think us Dutch!

I like those videos. I do agree the Russian one is more "truthful" but I don't mind a reminder every once in a while even if its commercialized. The one from Coca-Cola is nice too.

Just like sometimes its nice to remember sports is more than just winning
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRUwAQo9M0s#t=56

I remember the Colombia vs England game in France 98... football-wise I try to forget it, but the sportsmanship by the English players at the end is something that I am glad to have seen and I want to remember.

See above. Father seems to speak English fairly well, the Mother...not so much.  Macedonian (a dialect of Serbian I think) is apparently their first language.

Macedonian (a dialect of Serbian I think) is apparently their first language.

You are treading on an ethno-linguistic minefield there. I think, they would rather see Macedonian named as Klingonian than as a Serbian dialect. Although it is, like Serbo-Croat, one of the South Slavic languages, it is a proper language in its own right. The closest relative would be Bulgarian.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!

I just refer to it as Macedonian but one of the former marines who did embassy duty that I work with said it was serbian.

I'd do some research before going. I've seen Serbs and Croats go absolutely apeshit if you mix that sort of thing up. Even more violent than the reaction you get when you go up to a Pakistani and ask him what part of India he's from.

There are a few cards from that era that sell for a lot of money. Notably Force of Will from Alliances, and Wasteland from Tempest. If you find any like that you can sell them and buy new ones!

Also, new cards aren't all expensive. You can make decks as good as mine and Finlay's without spending that much.

My wife was mistaken for Carey Mulligan, and we got free drinks and a comped dinner in NYC.  :icon_razz:

Nice! Have no idea who Carey Mulligan is though and a google picture search didn't enlighten me either.

She just starred in The Great Gatsby.

I am probably going to regret sharing this on this site since most of you are asses to me about relationships:

So I took my girlfriend to Maine to visit my family. Everyone got along great.  After playing monopoly She went to bed and as soon as she left, my father turned to me and said "When are you proposing."  Not a question, but more like demand.  We talked for a bit and I asked dad what prompted it all and he mentioned that what I told him the other day about how sometimes you try to hug the person so hard to try to become one person.  That he himself tried that with my mother way back when they were dating and apparently my sister and her husband tried too.  Plus he can just tell how crazy we are for each other and just how amazingly well we get along.  The consensus of my family was that she is quite a woman and I shouldn't let her get away.  Especially after the whole fiasco with the crazy ex-girlfriend.  Mind you at one point my father was going to punch my ex in the face in a drunken rage on new years back in 2011.

The next day I took her into the woods a bit away from anyone and shot her an update on what transpired after she went to bed.  Our reaction was pretty much this:

The next Halloween-LARP will be in pretty much exactly one month (a bit earlier in the year this time than the name suggests). The title? Hotel Stalin. It is set in the 1950, in a Soviet prison. And will be, as usual, firmly in the horror genre. I'm really looking forward to this - the organizers managed to rent a real decommissioned prison for the event... I will play an officer of the guards (with some secrets I'm firmly hoping no one will discover, or I'll be in trouble!). Should be awesome! Currently scouring ebay for fitting uniform and kit.

Saw Guardians of the galaxy this weekend (along with "Predators" and "Don Jon"). Wow this was a fun movie! Like star wars, star trek, firefly, and cowboy beebop all thrown in a blender.  The action scenes were amazing and the humor was perfect.  It was a movie full of sass!  I kind of wanted more character development from everyone but it wasn't needed.  It centered around Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and he was the driving force of the movie.  You really felt for him and the crew.  Their chemistry was great!  The soundtrack was amazing and tied to the main character on an emotional level.  The universe was intricate and interesting with different groups such as the NOVA (basically the federation from star trek) and their history with the Kree with its flimsy peace, or the space pirate group called the ravagers, along with space moss eisley that reminded me more of Mass Effect 2's Omega.  Mind you that because we saw the collector at the end of thor 2 means they share the same universe as the Asgardians!  The villain was a bit weak.  Just evil for the sake of being evil.  I think he was a missed opportunity.  The ending was a bit weak in that it didnt explain anything and raised more questions (like the parentage of Star Lord, Rocket's origins, Draxx's hstory, Gamorra's motivations/relationships).  That isn't to say the ending was bad, it worked out fine.   :lol:  Chances are there will be a sequel but I fear it may not live up to this spectacular galactic adventure!

Didn't develop much on how all the nations of the universe work but it did expand the marvel cinematic universe and bridged them by explaining the infinity stones that have shown up in the other movies.  All showed the big bad Thanos a bit more.  It'll be evident that the avengers and GotG will come to a head as all the marvel characters show up to deal with him in good time.

All in all: Great movie and worth seeing in the theater!

yeah the 2010 one... I wrote a small review on another site but there are spoilers.  I took out most of them (which was most of my review) and put just some tidbits down here:

Quote
I want to say it was a good movie but I have 3 major gripes with this movie:

1.  The opening was rushed and dumb.

2. The ending was week and gave no resolution. 

3.  The introduction of the new predators felt/looked dumb.

It was a fun adventure with a terrible first and last 5 minutes.  I did not like the direction they are taking the franchise but was fun to see the predators again.

if you don't care about spoilers PM me and I'll send you the whole review.

If you want to take your girlfriend / wife to the cinema, 'Dido Elizabeth Belle' is a good choice. I hadn't expected the movie to be that good.

Apart from the love story every woman will love, the Zong proceedings are a very interesting subject. If you look closely, the movie deals with two forms of slavery, the Zong proceedings and the way most women at that time virtually had to 'sell' themselves to the wealthiest man they could get because of their non-existent rights.

The movie is motivating me to do some research to learn more about the Zong massacre. And having the freedom to choose how I want to live due to equal rights and being financially independent certainly is a happy thought.  :happy:

For the first time ever I had a bad reaction to telling someone about the hobby- some woman we met in a pub asked how me and rufus met, then proceeded to basically say we were both weirdo losers, and the kids in her school who went to the Warhammer club were all weirdos and you could “tell” which ones would attend it because they “weren’t on this planet”-

So here’s my happy thought, a huge Frick to Ms Sidique. Maybe your husband wouldn’t have divorced you if you weren’t such a judgemental bitch. I’m sure you’re an awful teacher and I hope you have a fucking miserable life :D

And my sad thought, I hope you don’t treat the “weirdo” kids poorly in class.

Me too. Was very humorous. Groot is cool.

Yeah, I didn't expect that 'smashing the green shiny thing' was what she needed to do to open the blast door. Surely one of the could have done that, while she duelled with her 'sister'.

Also the prison escape was great, however using those drones on the bottom of the pod thing felt a bit wrong to me. Only because they were so easy to destroy, however while the pod was grinding through the hallway, they were not as easy to destroy.

Also how did he know where to go to find the headphones?

Also, when Peter was in space - why wasn't there any extreme swelling due to the low pressure? I get the freezing part, but the reduction in pressure should have resulted in significant swelling.

They were also back to normal immediately after boarding yondu';s ship, where as in space it looks like Quill's eyes were going all bloody!



The other one i noticed was at the end, big fight vs the kree lieutenant guy and soldiers, they struggle a bit. Then Groot takes out like 20 guys on his own with ease- wouldnt he have just done that in first fight?

Back from 1950's horror LARP.

Thursday to Sunday - it was pretty damn exhausting, and completely awesome. Set in a Soviet prison (the location was an actual decommissioned prison that was used until about 8 years ago... decrepit, bleak, rusty and dark) that was not what it appeared to be at first.

Great plot, great twists, some really scary horror elements and overall just people who played well and had amazing costume.
I'm still hearing the song "Katyusha" all the time in my head...

View towards the courtyard gate, just before the gate opened and the first truck with player Characters was brought in:

View from courtyard towards one of the cell blocks. The statue is a life size one of Stalin (really nicely done using a mannequin as a starting point!).

Entrance to a guard room, and the gate to block D.

The whole event cost 240 Euros for 4 days. The NPCs are not hired actors, although there are a lot among them (and the players!) who could easily be actors (I think one or two actually are IRL). Level of play was fantastic!

I might be able to show some pics with people in them, but I need to make sure those people are okay with it first. This is not your typical fantasy LARP, and some of the people who attended have jobs where public/workplace opinion matters. For example: the last Halloween Con 2 years ago a high-ranking prosecutor was one of the players, and he played a coke-head wreck. If pics of him burying his face in a pile of white powder had surfaced it wouldn't have done him any favors, even if the context was completely harmless on closer examination.

As for what happened: a TON.

The basic premise we started on: September 1952. A high ranking General suddenly and in utter secrecy assembled selected soldiers from the Red Army and the MGB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_for_State_Security_%28Soviet_Union%29) into a new ad-hoc unit called WAHOSTA. WAHOSTA immediately received a list of persons to be detained (often on nebulous article 58 charges) and/or transferred from state prisons, and for those persons to be readied for transportation.
We then entered trucks and were driven for a looooong time until we reached a remote prison complex in the middle of nowhere: Nishcheta Kremlin, nicknamed Hotel Stalin. This is where the game started: the GMs had set up an area separate from the prison were people could change into costume, then we were driven into the prison in groups on an army truck, with our in-game baggage.

Every player had received a several page long character description about the figure he or she would play, complete with contacts, goals and fears, secrets and ambitions. And from there, events unfolded...

I could actually write pages about what happened. Don't know if anyone would be interested in reading it though!

Here's definitely one I can drop, since that's from an official website and posted by herself.
Mia, one of the NPCs.

She's absolutely tiny, can adopt childish mannerisms perfectly, looks maybe 10 or 12, is actually 26 and INCREDIBLY FUCKING SCARY when you see her standing in a dark, lonely prison corridor at night made up like the first two pics ...

When supernatural stuff started happening on Friday she made regular appearances.

Another player told me she sneaked into his cell at night while he was sleeping, hid under his cot and scratched on the underside. He looked and had that face, with pitch black contacts, evil grin and blood smeared all over it, smile at him from about 2 inches away, saying "hello! do you want to play with me?"...

I'd probably lash out :(

Had a supervisor at work jump me when I was coming out of the toilets into a darkened corridor. Good thing she was quick or I would have lost my job knocking her out. I even knew she'd done it to others, just instinct.

That woman's makeup looks fantastic. Definitely better than most low budget horror films. Was she the general standard?

Come on guys we know all this is a lie until he posts a picture of himself!!!!  :icon_twisted:

Let the evil Aldaris out.

Remember guys all this happens in the romantic language that is German... "If she said you want to play with me?" then it would be okay, but when she says "WILLS DU MIT MIR SPIELEN?!?!?!?!" (yelling and with evil voice like all Germans talk) then it can give you a heart attack.

note: Okay, not all Germans have an evil voice, but the language is a little more freighting than others.   :ph34r:

Post by: Aldaris on September 15, 2014, 10:28:37 PM
@ Finlay: None.
Even when you go to sleep and nothing monumental is happening it's still entirely possible for a GM to discreetly wake you for a dream sequence. They REALLY like those!

One dream one of the NPCs told me about over a beer sunday evening: a player had in his backstory that he used to be a torturer during the Reign of Terror, then found religion and has tried to be a good man since. Still traumatized by his past of course.

They made a nightmare for him. He was led blindfolded from his bed to a room with red lighting, with a high-backed chair with manacles and stuff attached to it. Beside it, a trolley with tongs, knives... you get the picture. A man standing in the room (the NPC who told me the story), scary dude - big, broad, bearded, scarred. Mia was also there, dressed in a nice, clean dress, with pigtails and no scary makeup. The player hadn't seen her before (they didn't make the mistake of using assets like her inflationary!).

The big dude told him "well, you know what this is about. One of you two will be sitting in this chair. You choose!"
He chose to sit, deciding to sacrifice himself to save the child.
Scary dude told Mia to lock him in, which she did, reluctantly. Fixing his head too so he couldn't move it. Asking "do we have to hurt the nice man? I don't want to!"
Scary dude answered "you remember what I told you little one? What do we start with?"
She picked up a pair of pliers and said, shyly "the... little finger?" "Good!" he replied proudly. "Get going."
And she went to work.
(of course not really hurting him! Applying light pressure, playing appropriate sound effects and holding props like a severed finger into his field of view from time to time).
After a couple of minutes (and plenty of screaming from the player) she became more and more confident... beginning to enjoy herself. Humming.
And being allowed to make her own choice for the finale... she chose a syringe and took one of his eyes, holding it in front of his face. "window to the soul, they say. Now you can look yourself in the eye! What do you see there? Do you like what you see?"

And with that, he woke.
(scene ended, timeout was called until he was back in bed. On the way he asked angrily how they could let a girl her age play in a scene like that! GMs were duly amused and told him that "girl" was two years older than him...)

@Realjuan:
Yepp!
They literally have thousands of pages of material prepped for a Con like this. Not to mention all the props, costumes for NPCs, weapons, food... they usually start prepping a year before the event. Which is why they only do one every two years.

When she ordered a new internett line she waited for 2 weeks without nothing happening, she called the company and asked why they haven't done their job, they replied that they sent a cableguy but he was killed entering her neighbourhood when trying to install the internett line so the company no longer delivers internett in that part of the City  :icon_eek:

For some happy thoughts I just cambe out of a 8 months long depression and problems in my marriage, finally got my finances in order and is back to playing Empire after going all skaven for 8 months..

Not much to say, my wife family lives on South-East side of Cali in Valle del Cauca. It's not the slum of the city but it is very poor and had a murder house robbery just last week. She doesn't want to move because she build a house from scratch and have had to watch the neighbourhood fall apart due to drugs and alcoholism. Cali is a very beautiful city, I go there every year. Please send me the adress of that "Magic" tabletop store in Cali if you can, everyone I ask don't even understand what I'm talking about, then again my spanish is horrible.

That explains a lot, because you should never go to that part of the city unless you have a good reason (one being the great discos across the river). Unless she wants to live in the house the rest of her life, then she is going to move one day. There is no good reason to stay there, and it doesnt take much to get out of that place.

Puberty is a crazy time ...  :icon_lol:

30 minutes to get ready for school ...

... starting with a 20-minute debate on 'I don't have any clothes to wear!' in front of a full closet

... followed by 5 minutes of laughter because of a funny story on puberty calling the kiosk at school 'pocket money handover area'

... followed by 4.5 minutes for mum to repair the bicycle chain while the girl is shouting at me I'm not fast enough and she will be late (not that she had told me yesterday that her bike's chain was out of order  :wink:)

... 30 seconds to take this pic and send it to her mobile phone because she realised how beautiful the sunrise was while shouting at me

Sunrise at Warhammer-Weib's new tropical island super-villain base

Actually, I don't think puberty is bad. I really enjoy it. And there's a good reason for her complaint this morning. We were shopping a few days ago. They both needed the entire range of new clothes for autumn and winter. They are growing so fast atm that the old ones don't fit any more. I haven't had time to do the laundry yet.  :-)

Appears that some of the lethargy and sickness we have had these two years during winter was a leak in the furnace.  The failure of the furnace is a mixed blessing.

Bank gave as a $12000 limit on the house as an open line of credit.  We are ripping bout the aged duct work, putting a new wood and oil furnace in which will increase efficiency and no longer poison is.

I am also going to keep my painted armies.  I can't bear to sell them at a cut rate.  Too much love and pride.  I will sell my infinished and in assembled models off.  I am still backing out a little!

All in all, the money is irrelevant.  My family is safe and avoided catastrophe!

Great to hear that Aldaris.

I am posting from the comfort and warmth of Colombia right now. I arrived a day ago, and like it a lot. My parents didn't know I was coming, and they only realized it was me when I was standing 1 meter from them. Kudos for my sister for helping me plan the trip. After meeting my 4 grade teacher in the street, I got a date with an american blond girl  (lets hope not for the stereotype). I wasn't in the hunt, but I suppose there is nothing wrong to check it out.

Food and climate is great. I will probably not check the forums for a month or so, but I am sure you can live with that.

Nope, Rosetta (= the orbiter) is fine.

Philae (= the lander) is approaching the end of his 60h shift. ESA hoped to extend it by charging the batteries with sunlight, but the little buddy ended up in a chasm with only about 1 1/2 hrs sunlight per earth day. Poor guy. Nevertheless, he's sent a lot of data already.

Damn, I want one. Not so sure about that UHD though, running games @ 2160p and 60Hz on an 860m is out of the question.

Edit: Also, Windows 8.1 handles scaling well, but pretty much any program made before 2013 doesn't. Most desktop UIs will have the equivalent of 4pt font at 1080p.

@patsy The scaling is going to be a problem, but I wonder if a quick fix could be to put problematic programs on my second monitor. I did pick the UHD because I THOUGHT it was the same price (I just realize it also went on sale and its 150 dollars cheaper).

@BAWTRM I wouldnt spend this much of money on a laptop if I had the option to have a desktop. With a half the money you could get/build one desktop even better. I try to keep my laptops for 4 years, and then I pass them on to someone that can still use it. So far all my computers have paid themselves. I do recommend extended warranty. $120 for Apple plan once save me 1k.

My WFRP campaign is shaping up pretty well. PC's are about to rescue a kislevite Noble from a corrupt Baron in Nuln and then join his glorious rebel army and march towards Border Princes. So far they've been acting without a screw up but knowing them it's only a matter of time. Since they've arrived in Nuln, half of the underworld wants to get them, the corrupt Town Watch wants to get them, one of my players is infected with Neiglish Rot AND they've all been in jail and barely managed to defend themselves in court. Fun times. :biggriin:

It's not like the light saber isn't a crazy idea to begin with. If you're not a Jedi/Sith you will most likely lose a limb or two at some point due to your lack of a sixth sense.

I think I was more surprised that Maul didn't cut himself in half with it.  Sure its like a bo staff but the point of a bo staff is to be able to grip it all over the shaft (phrasing) and come at someone at different angles.

Honestly, compared to the prequel trilogy (which I am not a fan of), I am okay with this so far.

As Finlay already hinted - the lightsaber hilt is not really the point. The point is the "warning! stoopid incoming" sign that comes with it.

One rumour I heard is that the Sith built it himself but he didn't know what he was he was doing. So he ended up making it too strong so he put two exausts for the beam on the lightsaber. But it totally looks that way just because someone thought it would look cool and needed something new for a new generation of movies. At least it's not lightsaber nunchucks or a katana that somehow bends the beam.

The reviews are going to be like the Phantom Menace when it came out.

This is a new trilogy for a new generation.  It's not the movies you remember growing up.  Characters take time to develop, but there is a sprinkling of familiar characters you can relate to.  The special effects are amazing.  The new aliens and characters are creative and imaginative.  Yes, there are some bad parts, parts that are clearly and solely for toys, and some parts are going to be unclear outside of the context of the full trilogy.  But it's a return to a creative and fun space opera, and you should go see it if you love Star Wars.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!

I seem to recall that I at least enjoyed some aspects of the Phantom Menace like the Podracer videogame and some aesthetics. The soundtrack for themovie was also amazing.

I actually liked Phantom Menace well enough at the time.  I didn't yet know the fresh hell that would be the second film or the third.

This will be a decent film at least and could very well be quite good.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gneisenau on December 04, 2014, 12:20:08 AM
I actually thought the second one was slightly better. But I might have been blinded by Samuel L. Jackson's resplendent pate.

The Yoda fight was pretty fun, at any rate.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Ursa Doom on December 04, 2014, 12:21:42 AM
I have not even seen the third film because the second one was so bad. That's how much I cared to stick around. If Red Letter Media is any indication I did not miss much.

I suppose I should be greatful that I didn't get invested a lot in Star Wars as a kid because my dad thought the movies were to violent for me.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gneisenau on December 04, 2014, 12:24:51 AM

The third one is the best of the lot, though some parts of it are still unintentionally painful.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: phillyt on December 04, 2014, 12:34:04 AM
I sort of think PM is the best one if only because it didn't include Hayden and Liam Neason made it bearable.

The second one was so godawful I hardly recall it.  Zero chemistry between Padme and Anikan, horrid special effects, bad pacing...

My parents had a divorce so I went to live with my mum becaus my dad is a massive stick in the mud that refuse to think in relative terms once he made up his mind. So I was free to enjoy the things I enjoyed.

It's probably one of the better life decisions I made for otherwise I would probably have grown into a very frustrated and angry man.

Ermm... that should be "smaller than 20", actually. My brain is in weekend mode I suppose.

Usual ping is about 15-19 or so atm.

Oh, and you play CS:GO Juan? I just got into it. What rank are you at, or, to put it differently - would it make sense to play together at some point? Haven't finished all my placement matches yet, but I'd be surprised to be ranked anything other than some kind of silver for now.

It should be a lovely gun when I am done!

Oh, and I picked up a newer, nicer AK 47 to replace my old one.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: phillyt on March 20, 2015, 08:40:00 PM
I snuck a Schlitz at 13, but the first time I got drunk was an accident.

My grandfather had a stile and made whiskey on their family farm in Quebec.  When they moved to Maine, they set up a stile on the family farm.  One day, when I was 5, we walked as a family through the woods and underbrush for what seemed like a long time.  I was tired and thirsty and as we all reached this neat little cabin I went in to look.  There, arrayed on a nice wooden table were all these containers of "water."  Being 5, I grabbed one, which was open (my grandfather and my uncles had been out earlier in the day to sample a bit).  I guzzled a bunch of it before I began gasping for breath and choking out the words "whiskey, whiskey!" I had been hearing the family talk about the whiskey tradition for quite some time as we walked out there and was at least aware of what the substance was apparently (I don't personally recall that part of the tale).

I legitimately don't recall the rest of the day, but my mother loves to tell the story now and then.

So that was my first drunken experience, though it doesn't generally count since it wasn't intentional!

Still right or is there some odd Quebecois term I don't know. Otherwise it just kept oddly standing out. I have a similar tale, though with a tumble down the stairs and a jar of creme de menthe pears to shut me up at 4 by a well meaning aunt at Chirstmas.

I got a place to LIVE!!! Getting ANY living accommodation in my city is hard, all the offers get around 50 emails per day, so you have to be checking newspaper, websites, asking friends EVERY day to be one of those first 50. Really stressful. I seen apartments without hot water or with the shower NEXT to the stove and still this apartments were not available the next day.

Today I finally got a room, a little more expensive that I would had wanted but in a great location, HUGE (20m^2), blah, blah blah. I am sure you dont care about the details.

I just hope its not a scam or something.

Freiburg is a really beautiful city, my brother lives there.

You could probably advertise a closet with a matress in it and people would go for it.

Like the idiot I was I updated the system on my old iPad. Afterwards the browser was useless and it was increadibly laggy when typing anything in the Safari or Chrome browser.

I had a lot of remorse because I hate the idea of learning anything about how to make Apple products not have a shitty system and jailbreaking it to fix the system update/official virus, just so I can browse the Internet like a person with dignity. Then I downloaded the
free Mercury browser. Suddenly I have a browser that is not terrible and it works better than the default one I was using before the system update, I can actually pick themes so I don't have to look at the bright white top of the browser anymore and it comes with free adblock.

Suddenly my old iPad is not a piece of crap and today has been an awesome day; because someone programed an app that does exactly everything it needs to be doing.

Like the idiot I was I updated the system on my old iPad. Afterwards the browser was useless and it was increadibly laggy when typing anything in the Safari or Chrome browser.

I had a lot of remorse because I hate the idea of learning anything about how to make Apple products not have a shitty system and jailbreaking it to fix the system update/official virus, just so I can browse the Internet like a person with dignity. Then I downloaded the
free Mercury browser. Suddenly I have a browser that is not terrible and it works better than the default one I was using before the system update, I can actually pick themes so I don't have to look at the bright white top of the browser anymore and it comes with free adblock.

Suddenly my old iPad is not a piece of crap and today has been an awesome day; because someone programed an app that does exactly everything it needs to be doing.

Love that Mercury Browser

ALright, my almost finished babies:

My AKM.  Freshly purchased with nice new Israeli grip and adjustable stock.  Cheap enough but so much fun to use.

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/1959748_10205349709477780_6692547418363957301_n.jpg?oh=b60b69eb693cd8749b0a5485d7284bd9&oe=55AED853&__gda__=1437783914_a2ab9cac1ac5dc19992c3e8e72b7937f)

And my most prized new posestion, my RPK.  I lovingly returned her to life.  She is a beauty and I got it for a steal (traded a $500 AKM for a $650 RPK and restored it to the point where I can get $800 for it without trouble for less than $80 in parts).  I do have a new flash hider on it though.  That isn't pictured here.

Looking through some old pics to delete what I don't want to keep any more ...

Rhaegal, are you aware of the fact that we played a game of warhammer against each other in summer 2009?  :biggriin:
No idea how it went. If you lost, that was most probably because I was wearing a bikini ...  I don't think my gaming skills were good enough as I was totally new to warhammer.  :-)

Just finished a great game of CS:GO - we were down 12-3 after the first half (it's best of 30)... we had a terrible Terrorist side. Switch to Counterterrorists second half. And we lost the first round (which is really, really bad for money reasons). Down 13-3 with no money. Everybody despairing.

And then we... rallied somehow. Buckled down, concentrated and went full tryhard. And ground it back, round for round for round, backs against the wall the whole time.
Game finished 16-14 in our favor. I love my team.
 :-D

My hands are still shaking. That was a fantastic game!

Post by: phillyt on March 26, 2015, 09:53:26 PM
Nice job Aldaris!

I love it when you manage to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!

And I almost always tryhard.  I love it when you bury a team and they start accusing you of being tryhards.  Then you call them out and tell them to man up and tryhard next round.

And then you bury them AGAIN.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Aldaris on March 26, 2015, 10:07:17 PM
Indeed. Instead of "going tryhard" I should probably say complete discipline/concentration kicked in.

When you have a guy just aiming at a balcony exit for three consecutive rounds with nothing at all happening there, without complaining or going "fuck it, I'm going for some kills now" it's great. And when he then is still concentrated and on point and just destroys 3 guys rushing his position suddenly its even better. That's what I mean. Everybody was just team playing.

Which Map? What was your score? Knife kills? :D :D
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Aldaris on March 26, 2015, 10:32:57 PM
Map was Inferno, my score was 24-8-26 (kills assists deaths), I played porch side middle (my favourite spot as CT) and no, no knife. That one was way too close for shenanigans.

The game before that we dominated 16-7 though (and I was 24-5-12), and yes, I finished that one with a knife kill, in style. Literally the last guy in the last round, and I had one HP left.
 :-D
True story, here's the demo if you're interested Juan:

Pink is simply great ...  her statement after nasty comments on the internet about her weight:

“I can see that some of you are concerned about me from your comments about my weight. You’re referring to the pictures of me from last night’s cancer benefit that I attended to support my [dear] friend Dr. Maggie DiNome. She was given the Duke Award for her tireless efforts and stellar contributions to the eradication of cancer. But unfortunately, my weight seems much more important to some of you. While I admit that the dress didn’t photograph as well as it did in my kitchen, I will also admit that I felt very pretty. In fact, I feel beautiful. So, my good and concerned peoples, please don’t worry about [me]. I’m not worried about me. And I’m not worried about you either :) … I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off. Thanks for your concern. Love, cheesecake.”

Post by: Warhammer-Weib on April 15, 2015, 09:05:11 AM
That's why I really like the way she's pointing out: "It's okay to be me." Most women try to change lots of things about their bodies and constantly criticise themselves because they don't look like these photoshopped top models that advertising presents us as role models. I can see how much that already influences my daughters. The truth is: Most of us don't look like topmodels. We never will. And that's perfectly fine.

Post by: Warhammer-Weib on April 15, 2015, 10:13:25 AM
To me neither. People making comments about her weight because she doesn't have that 'standard look' they are accustomed to, that's just strange.

One of my daughters isn't as skinny as the girls at her age usually are either. Her grandma told her last week they couldn't find clothes for her because she was 'fat'. She isn't. Not meeting that 'standard skinny look' doesn't make her less beautiful, and it was devastating to see how embarrassed and bad she felt after that comment. So I went shopping with her. It took us a bit more time because most shops only offer these standard jeans and dresses for skinny girls. But we found some really nice clothes for her. You could see how relieved she felt, especially when her sister told her how beautiful she looked.

Keep in mind that the regular service will 'only' go at 500 km/h. Which is still crazy fast do zip through a landscape at ground level!

My newest purchase this morning.  Looking forward to shooting it tonight!  Its a pretty ferocious pistol, with crazy recoil and a massive muzzle blast, but that is the fun of it!
Looks like a midget AK

Post by: phillyt on April 25, 2015, 11:02:51 AM
Exactly what it is! It's a ferociously loud sub machine gun!
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: patsy02 on April 25, 2015, 04:28:08 PM
Doesn't that just make it an assault rifle without a stock?
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: phillyt on April 25, 2015, 10:16:47 PM
It has a barrel that is 6.5 inches shorter than a standard AK 47 as well!  So it is crazy small, short, and powerful.  It is a lot of fun to shoot and more than a little scary.  It is the loudest gun I've ever had the chance to fire.

Post by: Gneisenau on April 25, 2015, 10:56:48 PM
Is that legal? Because sawn-off shotguns aren't, in many places (as they are too easy to conceal).
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: phillyt on April 26, 2015, 10:42:04 AM
It is because by the confusing standards of the ATF, it is a pistol because it lacks a stock.

The vertical grip on the front isn't legal on the range and I need to remove it if I go shooting elsewhere.  That makes it a rifle as well... apparently.

I had an AR pistol and it magically became a rifle (according to the ATF) if I shouldered the buffer tube.

I'm having a blast listening to my daughter's trumpet lessons ...  :icon_lol:
Her teacher's explanations to illustrate a wide range of possible musical interpretations contain everything from pot-bellied pigs to little girls skipping and hopping across flower meadows. Teacher and student both have the same temper, i.e. the same impatience and ambition, and love to tease each other with witty remarks. I'm dying of laughter.  :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:
Plus, the progress she has made in six months due to these lessons is amazing.  :happy:

14.5 inch barrel! With my armor on I have to have it at its lowest so I can tuck it into the kevlar as much as possible otherwise it's near impossible for me to get a consistent group to zero with. I imagine it would be even harder with an AK! I grew up using long guns so the transition really threw me off.

Apparently the Warsaw stock length of 9.25 inches was to compensate for the thick layers of winter gear.  I never connected that and always wondered why the stocks were so short!

My wife has gotten a new job!

Right within her field, same travel distance/time, better salary and better benefits.

In addition she has managed to snag a nice 'going away' bonus from her old employer. Her contract would officially be cancelled the last of June. But for those people that would manage to find a new job in April they had the nice enticement that they would recieve the remaining period's salary x 0.7. Later than April and you would get nothing.

My wife's recruitement talks would be in May though (this week) so she simply stepped to her old boss and gave him a choice. Either they extent the offer for a week or she would simply stay put for those 2 months at 100% pay. They caved quickly.  :icon_mrgreen:

Found this and had to share!

Actual complaints received by "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" from dissatisfied customers:
1. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."

2. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."

3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."

4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."

5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."

6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."

7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."

8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."

9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."

10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."

12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."

13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."

14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."

15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."

16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."

17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

20.  A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate."

Thanks for showing that list, Feanor Fire Heart, it had me and my family laughing really hard.  :smile2:

Here's a random story; I live in a area with a lot of chickens wandering around and one hen had made a nest in the middle of a field and laid about ten eggs. She abandoned them after a while and no one gave them anymore thought. After a week of cold mornings and a surprise rain shower, one of those eggs still managed to hatch.

The chick lives with my sister (who wondered by the nest and found it had just hatched) and is very healthy now.

I just thought that was amazing that life could make it despite the odds.

The weather these last few days was just about perfect.

Wednesday & Thursday: Rain and wind to help get the temperature down

Friday: Sunny but not too hot, ideal for my daughter's 6th year birthday party with her school friends seeing as we had this whole outdoor treasure seeking quest planned out. (great success, all the kids were raving about it when they got home)

Saturday: Sunny and hot, excellent garden and BBQ weather fall all the family and friends that came over for my little girl's birthday

Sunday: Cool and windy, very comfortable for our miniature golf outing. Beat the wife by 5 tries, my son beat my daughter by 5 tries, so the end result was a draw between teams Daddy-Girl and Mommy-Boy.

Today: Cool and rainy. Good, that'll help me in not being depressed by sitting in an office while the weather outside is gorgeous!  :biggriin:

That thing about balance in the force...

I can't believe how arrogant the jedi were. Hundreds of younglings, padawans, teachers, an entire jedi temple vs 2 sith was balance? The balance briefly came when there was Obi-Wan and Luke vs Palpatine and Vader.

I've read that this was not the "balance" they were talking about. Something different was meant, the balance between some different types of force. The existence of any Sith was a disturbance.

Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on July 27, 2015, 02:19:48 AM
Balance does not mean even amount of jedi and sith. Jedi keep the force in balance (living in harmony with the force), Sith disrupt the force for their own gains.

Her increase went from pittance, to 40% more than pittance. She still probably deserves another 100% pay rise for what she does. She should probably get paid more than I do, and I earn twice what she does, even after her pay rise. (although she does only work 60% time.)

So I did somethign I rarely do.  I watched an anime.

I picked up Jojo's Bizare Adventure: Stardust Crusade and finished the 13 episode series.  Its pretty good.  Then I found out I watched the rather stale 90s anime with terrible funny English dub whereas most people who like it saw the better animated and more fun 2014 anime of it, but I think I'd have to buy it or join crunchy roll to watch it in its crazy colors.  I'd rather not shell out the money though

I highly recommend it. Street fighter characters with battle spirits go on a globetrotting adventure to kill Dracula. Not even kidding.

And I just finished painting my damn personal arsenal (all NERF guns). Phew!

It's a SciFi setting, we're basically pan-Asian. The culture of the syndicate tends to be rather Japanese leaning.

We're about a dozen players in the Mao Ming I think? 2 doctors, an organ merchant, 3 Geishas, 4 hookers, 2 henchmen, plus me and my wife. There will be 2 other crime syndicates (one Mafia style and one "American" style), some cops, some private eyes and a couple civilians and aliens. I think about 60 players or so total.

It''ll take some time.  How long was the relationship?  She's not healthy if she's jumping into another relationship that quickly, and you're probably better off as a result.  Let the loss stuff move forward, feel those uncomfortable feelings, realize that there will be a time of slow healing that although a pain, it's will be ruminating that helps heal, give you a chance to do things you want to do, find your self again, and hopefully learn from the previous situation, before jumping into another relationship.  One day at a time, and then you'll be in a spot of balance between finding someone better, and not letting the next lady treat you inappropriately either.

At the weekend, I went for a walk. After I crossed a bridge and was climbing up a steep, wooded slope, I saw a large, black animal moving through the trees ahead of me. For a moment, ridiculously, I thought it was a bear...

...then I remembered that there aren't any bears in England. I moved closer, and saw that it was a cow. A cow, on a densely wooded hillside, eating brambles.

Very amoosing story      ....... pull the udder one  :engel:

Cows rarely attack although sometimes the whole herd will run straight at you (quite intimidating) and then stop a few feet away. Generally if you jump up and down and wave your arms they will back off a bit.

I saw a deer the other week for only the second time ever in Cornwall. Back home in Hampshire you were practically tripping over them but for some reason we don't get many down here. Maybe the locals eat them.

Everytime I go with a certain mate of mine into the woods, neighbouring my house, we run into a deer or a boar or something else. Once we even saw it during a day. Biiiig one it was, with a pair of tusks that were quite intimidating. It really intimidatet us, as we've turned around and veeeery slowly came back the way we came.

Could depends on whether its a moo cow, or an elephant cow.  Of course there aren't elephants in England either.

When I was youngster, we once had a deer with antlers lower it's head and charge my father's truck while the vehicle was moving, and put a dent in the side of it.

So they still got boars in England, eh?

I seem to recall it had that one joke about Morrowind Silt Striders interior that made me laugh. So I guess it peaked pretty early sometime around 2002.

I would say that CAD is not the worst webcomic of all time as much as it's the most mediocre webcomic of all time. However, it has given aspiring comic authors and artists a level that they should aim to rise above.

Yahtzee himself did say that no one likes it when he is nice to a game. So he is basically saying that you're supposed to take his review with a pinch of salt.

When baseball started out, and in America, nobody else was playing the game, and to this day there aren't any other countries, with the exception of Cuba and Japan, that have significant baseball establishments that I am aware of currently.  Even a chunk of their best players come to the U.S. to play, which granted is perhaps done for economic reasons.  At the time of the World Series beginning, there were none other than in America.  It is an American tradition, and perhaps this will change over time, yet currently it is what it is.

That is one fancy awesome model. How big is he compared to a space marine?

A standard space marine will reach his waist. He's almost as tall as a Dreadnought. Painting him will be a real challenge, but I'm cool with that. It's the second Emperor that I own. There are two unique models left for me to get...

That's huge! I was thinking taller then a terminator but not that big. Truly a god amongst supermen.

I cant wait to see him painted!

This figurine's from the 30K era. Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Generally the Emperor is a master biomancer so he can probably look however he wishes to. :smile2:

Nah, in his prime he looked like a taller, dark-haired human.
This is what he looked like when facing Horus in his final fight:

Our journey towards minimalism turns out to be an excellent decision. And it is surprisingly easy, even with two kids. Moving out of a house with about 200 square metres and a huge garden resulted in getting rid of 70% of our stuff, and we are still selling, donating and giving away things we don't really need. We are currently looking for an even smaller place. Life is much easier when you're traveling light, and there is much more time, money and room for things that really matter.  :happy:

I have a new dog! My family and I found a lost maltese dog outside around thanksgiving (Two weeks ago here in Canada). He'd clearly been lost outside for several months. He's all cleaned up now, the pound has finished all the paperwork and we havn't been able to find his original family. Now he's coming home with us tonight.

My last dog passed away just over a year ago and the whole family has been going back and forth about getting a new one. Having one show up out of the blue needing help seemed like a pretty good omen.

Maltese are by far the smallest dog I've ever owned. My cat is roughly the same size.

After that, send in the terminators to give it that rustic vibe. Equip them with chainfists if you're feeling adventerous.
Then send in a Thunderhawk for that finishing touch.

And then bombard it from orbit for that nice, finishing touch. In the Emperor's name.

Exterminatus, for that true 40k vibe.

Too right. Let's blow up the whole, damn neighborhood. For the glory of Terra!

My daughter has just returned from school with an excellent grade in her first French test. She switched from secondary modern school to grammar school a week ago and hadn't had French as a second foreign language before. So she had to catch up on six weeks of French in one week only, and, of course, angrily rejected everything I tried to make it easier for her. Apparently, we have done a pretty good job while giving each other a hard time.  :biggriin:

My daughter needs a new trumpet and has started earning money for it as a busker in the city centre.

While she was playing today, several music students with their instruments approached from a side street. They could only hear her playing, but couldn't see her from there. I heard them making bets on their way to main street where she was playing. They tried to figure out the semester of the trumpet player, their bets ranging from the first semester at university to the third.

Their faces when they turned around the corner and saw my 13-year-old daughter standing there - priceless!  :icon_lol: Definitely made my day!   :happy:

Not sure where we'll go next, probably next trip will be to one of the state parks nearby here in Florida. I hope to go with the wife to Pennsilvania this summer and Virginia/Tennessee next fall.

I'll mainly use it to tame some wild growth behind the father in law's yard, as utility around the camp sight.

I walked into a new local hobby store yesterday! :icon_eek: :icon_biggrin:

Not only do they sell a wee bit of Warhammer and 40K, but a ton of other miniatures and rules and games and supplies and used history books.

On top of that, the place has some wonderful gaming tables, cushy chairs, well lit, and it's clean.  A relatively nice spot.

Couldn't get out of the store without making a purchase.  Actually I mean more than one purchase ...

Time-Lifes book called The Pirates from their Seafaring series, copyright 1976 ... wicked cool. :icon_cool:

Osprey's game rules called On The Seven Seas.

A Northstar figure from their On The Seven Seas range, Lichfield Tony and his dog Baz.

Oh, and some Agrax Earthshade.

Merry Christmas to me! :::cheers:::

No way. I like CS and play quite a bit, and I'm super happy that I finally have a knife, and a rather nice one at that.

I was certainly not going to buy one! Every single one that looks half decent is 80€+++. The most expensive ones can go for up to 1500 or so. I'm not dumb enough to shell out money like that for a skin. I just occasionally like to gamble a couple Euros on case openings.

I do check in regularly, I just don't post much these days.

Figure I might as well repeat what I recently said in a PM: the thing is that I just don't have any enthusiasm for the hobby right now. It wasn't even Age of Sigmar straight up, just a steady drip-drip-drip of BS that did the trick eventually. I felt it was simply becoming too much work to keep up with 40K releases, and I didn't like where it seemed headed (the last Eldar codex is pretty much the last publication I checked out, which left me with a "are you fucking kidding me right now" impression). And to play, I like to know what's going on. And since I am more a gamer and GW universes enthusiast  rather than a pure painting and converting guy, I need to want to play to have motivation to make stuff to play with.

I simply arrived at a point this year where I thought "you know what GW, if YOU'RE not going to take this serious anymore, I don't see why I should." I still paint halfway regularly, and I do check in here every few days. And I am even reservedly optimistic about the upcoming specialist games stuff. Maybe GW did have a bit of a wakey-wakey call and are headed again in a direction I like (note this is all personal opinion of course, I begrudge no one liking AoS and everything else. It's just not for me). I live in hope! But I need to see some major change, something that makes me nod and go "all right, now we're talking!" As soon as I feel that, I'll be all over it. Until then, I consider myself in semi-hibernation.  :wink:

So rest assured, I'm not about to jump ship off here. I'm just don't stroll the deck very much at the moment.

Just FYI. I don't think that Syphon will become a super friendly dude after 30 days. I can try to talk with him over Steam if you want, but be prepared for more Teabagging around 18th of february.

What Sig said. And no, Syphon did not called me names. I just think that he's a very sad and troubled man who lashes out at anyone who's around.

For happy news. I've been running a D&D game online for a over a year now. By the very nature of these things people tend to come and go. Recently one long running player had to drop out, but he put me in touch with some other people interested in joining up. Now I have two new really excited players and it's been a refreshing shake up.

Also on a funnier note, my moms started painting warhammer models. She started painting just a base coat a few afternoons ago as a joke and because it was a boring, rainy, miserable day. Now she's gotten really into it. Has no interest in playing, but's loving painting the different models.

Last Nov & Dec 2014 into Jan 2015 I grew a beard, and turned it into a gotee, but then got rid of it.  This year I started a beard again over the holidays, and for some reason I'm a bit more pleased by it, and so this time perhaps it will stay longer.  Although perhaps, one day at a time.

Der Bart sollte, als halbe Maske, polizeilich verboten sein. Zudem ist er, als Geschlechtsabzeichen mitten im Gesicht, obszön: daher gefällt er den Weibern.

Schopenhauer, Parerga und Paralipomena II, 19.

If I recall correctly, that's from the 1800s, although I might be confusing it with the 18th century.  In the 21st century there have been different studies that show some women like beards more than others and vice versa.  I'm happy with the compliments I've recently received though. :icon_wink:

We are considering at sportage.  They are bringing a new model out next month so are selling off the old stock cheap, so there is a good deal to do.
The 7 year warranty is the main thing.
My head says sportage but my heart says audio Q5 or land rover discovery sports. Both just a waste of money really. Buying a brand. The Nissan is a compromise. Test driving both tomorrow.

Is the new car a workhorse or for pleasure/family? I have a passat estate which gets beasted and still drives well, plus loads of room, but I wouldn't say it's a particularly smart car. I did some work for serco (yah, boo, hiss!) And they used Ford focus - I have to say, each night, driven relentlessly, over 120k in three years and never broke down. Plus comfortable for cruising. Worth a thought.

The mini people-carrier vehicles are very good for families.

I can remember trying to take our two boys off on holiday in the UK in a Forde Escort in the early 90s and it was a nightmare getting everything in.

Then along came 'cars' like the Renault Scenic and the Citroen Picasso and they balanced space in a car without buying the bigger 7-seater jobs.

I must admit I like the look of the Qashqai. However as you say the Kia 7 year warranty is a big plus and again it looks ok.
One of the considerations of course is safety - I don't know how well built the various cars are if they are hit by something?

Bash-wise - at the moment we have a UK contingent of 5 so we will need two cars.
That does allow us to take 7 with your Audi and mine, or 8 even as I am sure Matt and I could both drive if we needed 2 x 4 

Mogsam needs a push - he nearly came last year.  :biggriin:

Post by: FR1DAY on January 24, 2016, 04:26:18 PM
I bought the qashqai. I got a pre registered one, so saved the VAT. Got the tekna, top of the line. It even parks itself.
The key a was okay but the qashqai felt a lot better made. It was £22k. 
Bash wise the audi takes three max. But with plenty of space as boot is massive when the roof is up.

We're pretty set on just having one. We set a deadline to make a decision (I'll be 33, so two years time) and after that it's snip snip.

With 3 already I'd just go for it! The tech on it is pretty good these days, not so much chance of impotence.

Yeah NHS is sweet, but what is the waiting time? Fixing it wouldn't be considered essential I'd have thought. At least here, they make distinction between essential and non essential surgery and the non essential stuff has a long wait if you don't have insurance.

Anyway vasectomy is something to consider. The tech really has come a long way. As far as I can see impotence isn't really a risk any more, it's more the issue of pain that can occur several years down the track.

I had it done about 25 years ago.

Friday afternoon on a physio style table - drop trousers - scalpel and hoik out the tubes - clamp, cut, sear the ends, stitches and done - home in 20 minutes.

Huh - Chuck Who???

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: red shift on January 25, 2016, 09:56:56 AM
I don't think impotence is likely. The op is free on the nhs but reversal isn't. Whether that changes for chronic pain I'm not sure but most "black list" ops need special panels to give the go ahead. In all honesty I don't think pain is that common though
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Midaski on January 25, 2016, 12:16:40 PM
Testicle pain would only really happen if your 'doc' was a bit too heavy handed and caused bruising I would have thought.
They can 'feel' the tubes through your sac and snip open the skin to pull them out in a loop - then cut and seal.

Never heard any negative long term feedback - that wasn't in the mind  :engel:

Personally I found the freedom from worry very rewarding.   :biggriin:


Edit:
Actually I should also make the point that the "freedom from worry" works for your lady as well, - and not only from the pregnancy angle but also on the contraception side: not taking pills is a major plus, as well as any awkward passion killing alternatives not being necessary.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Finlay on January 25, 2016, 12:46:27 PM
I think impotence used to be a potential problem but it wasn't even mentioned on the four medical websites I checked last night.

My wife has a three door corsa and getting the kids in is a bit of a nightmare, particularly with the 3 week old being in one of those ones you carry around and then lift into the car each time.

I don't think I want more than the two kids, having said that I'm not too keen on the snip, mentally with the tubes tied I have this vision of constant blue balls although I expect it doesn't work like that.

Go through the 'other interests' section of all the cvs and if any have warhammer listed, invite them for interview. At least you'll enjoy the discussion! I've spoken to recruiters who honestly do things like that to decide between candidates who otherwise on paper look about equal.

A previous boss just went through the first paragraph of each cover letter and binned anything with a spelling mistake, grammar mistake or anything that sounded generic. Then he went through the overqualified foreigners trying to get their visa work hours and binned those. Cut it down from 450 to about 50 in an hour and a half with his 2IC helping him out.

I'd like to do that, but we have to score objectively if they meet essential criteria.

My first job, it said "fill this in using a black pen" and if anyone used blue they just got binned.

Although we've had 17 applications with declared disabilities, and if they meet the essential criteria we have to interview them.
Only wanted to interview 10 people, so might have to just do all those!

funnily enough, i'm on the interview panel because there are only 2 other men at the library on my grade or higher, and one works part time.

Pity you can't just take a "disabled top ten" or something rather than all of them. What a waste of time.

My most recent ex-boss only hired straight women if they'd just had a relationship bust-up to sort of guarantee they wouldn't get pregnant. Otherwise only men and lesbians.

The panel has to be diverse, but all the candidates are all disabled cause more than 10 applied, you only want to interview 10 and discrimination laws say you have to interview disable people. What about the able people that aren't getting interviewed. Isn't that discriminatory?
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Finlay on January 27, 2016, 12:23:18 AM
we have to interview if disable people meet the essential job requirements, not just all disabled people who apply. It for sure doesnt sit right with me not interviewing any able bodied people!

and its uni policy, not actual legislation. the Librarian and my line manager spoke to HR and they were like "just interview some of the disabled people"

They made the job requirements too generic- they could easily have put experience of working in library on essential and culled it right down!


It's very interesting doing the actual recruiting though. I'm also involved in 3 other projects at the moment as well as my normal work, so quite varied fun and interesting at the moment. fun start to the new year!

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Finlay on February 01, 2016, 05:15:12 PM

The league tried to invigorate interest in the all star game by allowing fan voting for the players, and the captains of each team going (and format changeS).
the nhl fans and the internet thought it would be good to vote for John Scott to not only be an all star, but be a captain of one of the 4 teams. At first I think this was just trolling, but then it becomes a genuine cool story.
He has 5 career goals, and is a journeyman/minor league talent. 6 different major league teams in an 8 year career.

The league tried to get him not to attend, first by asking him. He decided he was going anyway.
So they facilitated a bullshit trade to send him out of the division (from arizona to montreal. His wife is due to give birth to twins any minute), and then the team he was traded to sent him to the minors, basically making him not allowed to be in the all star-game.

NHL realised they were being retards, and let him play.

He scored 2 goals in 4 games, was voted MVP DESPITE the league not putting him on the ballot, won a jeep, a million dollars.

Great story. Could be a move script.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: GamesPoet on February 01, 2016, 05:20:48 PM

Post by: Finlay on February 01, 2016, 05:26:05 PM

it's the sort of thing that might now happen more often, but it won't be as funny/cool/spontaneous next time.

Ironically it massively boosted the profile of the all-star game, more than anyhting the NHL itself had been able to do.

Maybe next year they'll just lock down the voting and not allow write-ins.

That is the real happy version but the troll goes beyond that. Fans voted in a notorious goon as a big middle finger to the league. The league, of course not willing to be made the fool, acted vindictively and help orchestrate a very shady trade to keep him out. He went and won the MVP purse and truck also despite the best efforts of the league.

It has also been pointed by some hockey fans that while it may nice now there is a chance Scott's career as a NHL player is over. The fans were right troll the league because it is perhaps the worst run in all of North American sports but if it could coerce front offices to make this trade in the first place what will it do in the future, after folks perhaps have forgotten the events of this weekend, to essentially take out their anger on Scott, the only factor to which they have any power. Scott sits at 281 games played, 119 short of an NHL pension, I hope he makes it to it and though I am no fan of the goon/enforcer type player, it would be sad if this brief bit of comeuppance to the NHL deprives Scott of financial security later in life.

Thanks Mathi!  My Husqvarna is not as nice (or expensive!) as a gransfors bruks or wetterlings, but it's a good piece of Swedish steel. Holds an edge well. Rumor has it that Husqvarna has Wetterlings forging their bits for them.

I use Picard pictures to fend off wildlife.

It has its moments but it's hella fun.

@Karl Voss that's the shaft, I thought about dropping it but I've had problems with low o2 in shafts in the immediate vicinity and my experience with shafts with loose collars is that they can be vulnerable to avalanches of loose rubbish. I once abseiled through a car wedged in a shaft but mostly try to avoid that kind of stupidity now I have a family. Wheel busy around the corner from wheel chance (in the pics) has that perfect storm of dodgy collar, low air and very deep hole and we almost didn't make it out.

Seriously shough, that sounds like a highly interesting job. What kind of education was necessary (if you don't mind me asking)?
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: red shift on March 16, 2016, 08:47:13 AM
I'm not really sure what education is needed - nothing formal, certainly, but contacts etc are important. There are very old records and plans available which show the position of mine shafts and workings and over the years a few of us have built up a database such that we can overlay old maps onto modern maps and place the position of shafts. It's not 100% but if you are looking to buy a house then normally you can get a pretty good idea of the risk. At the mo I think Stuey does a lot of work with Western Power who (obviously) want to know that if they put up an electricity pylon in a field that it isn't going to disappear one night.

I have. I'm now searching for the Marienburg sourcebook. I've bought the Middenheim one rather cheaply, but my books are mainly in polish. This tends to drop their prices significantly.

And yes, the 1st edition's Magic book isn't as good as the Realms of Sorcery of the 2nd edition. Still, it's part of the collection. ;)

A British tar is a soaring soul
As free as a mountain bird
His energetic fist should be ready to resist
A dictatorial word
His nose should pant and his lip should curl
His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl
His bosom should heave and his heart should glow
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow

His eyes should flash with an inborn fire
His brow with scorn be wrung
He never should bow down to a domineering frown
Or the tang of a tyrant tongue
His foot should stamp and his throat should growl
His hair should curl and his face should scowl
His eyes should flash and his breast protrude
And this should be his customary attitude

Haha, best thing I've found about in AoS tropes wiki! :biggriin:
Quote
Rated M for Manly: In normal High Fantasy settings, the elves are somewhat effeminate, the humans resemble real-life humans, and the dwarves are manly. In Warhammer, the elves are manly, the humans are beyond manly, and the dwarves make Chuck Norris look like a milk-drinking wimp... and the Fyreslayers manage to make other dwarves look like little girls by comparison. They're empowered by shards of their dead god, they charge into battle wearing only a loincloth, and they RIDE DRAGONS!! Some of them even go into battle with flaming beards Does it get manlier than this??
Also, someone on the reckoning forums found a total war warhammer reference to AoS. It was on a orc victory message that said the foe was crushed so badly that their racial memory will remember you until the End Times and beyond.

Pretty cool. :-)

My Skoda is being repaired, just in time to get to the painting competition in Bavaria. The first major repair in 11 years with 190,000 kilometres on the clock. It'll pass the MOT test and I will be able to drive it for another 2 years.  :happy:

For my wife's birthday, I got her and I horseback riding lessons. We learned to cantor, gallop, and took the horses for a swim in a lake. It was a blast.

I have mad respect for cavalry now, and those who can ride at full speed with a lance, sword, bow, or rifle.

Haha, yeah, horseback riding is no joke. It's tough enough to stay in the saddle when things start speeding up, handling anything that requires skill and precision while doing it is unbelievable.

Probably why armies that managed it went on to dominate for centuries. :-D

Happy thought: Dark Souls boardgame is in.

Having ridden horses weekly for 10 years it always irks me when people claim it's "A lazy 'sport', you just sit there and let the horse do all the work!".  :icon_evil:

Riding a horse takes skill and you'll discover muscles in your body you never knew you had. Learning to use weaponry from horseback would have been a nice additional challenge though I imagine you should train horses almost from birth for all the non-missile weaponry flashing around in their peripheral vision to avoid them getting spooked.

Totally agree Bawtrm, there is so much skill involved. I rode an American Paint named Joker. He had a great trot, and I could easily follow the 1-2 rhythm with him, but I need a lot more practice at a cantor. I was bobbing and losing my seat a lot! We rode them through the shallows of this lake at a nearby nature preserve, and I got joker into a gallop to race my wife. It was almost easier to hold stead at the gallop then the cantor.

Now, I have these grandiose dreams of playing tent-peg, rings, or shooting a bow or Winchester from horseback.

Well, I learned 'English riding' (would have loved western style as well but nothing like that where we lived), and that has the 'posting' or 'rising' trot you can use during a cantor, which really helps as you're assuming a rhythm in line with the horse's cantor. When you're sitting during a cantor your body has the tendency to try and 'settle down' back in the saddle (after having been moved up by the earlier step) just when the horse makes its next step. Almost making for a jackhammer like feeling and not really being able to sit in the saddle. Of course this depends on the particular horse's gait but all in all my experience of a sitting cantor ranges from uncomfortable to downright awful.

In contrast, when you're in a gallop your body rises and falls easily within the motion of the horse, which indeed makes it a far smoother experience. Though quite a bit more scary when using an English saddle opposed to a western style saddle.

Interesting! I definitely need to work on my lower body strength. Luckily, I wasn't very sore from riding, just a little stiff. It was difficult finding the match the timing of a cantor and definitely was jackhammered around!

How did you learn to ride? We're working with horses?

I really enjoyed riding and love to do it more. I don't think it would be practical to take care of a horse while living in an apartment. I always find the most expensive hobbies...

How did you learn to ride? We're working with horses?

I got 10 riding lessons from my parents for my 10th birthday (my mother already rode). So there I was, a boy turning ten which obviously is a really important number, so I expected quite te present... and I got riding lessons??? Wasn't that for girls? I didn't know a single boy who rode horses!

So yeah, I was a bit underwhelmed at first but I quickly learned to love it. A year later I had to choose between soccer and horse riding as doing both was considered too expensive. I dropped soccer within a heart beat. Hadn't really enjoyed soccer for the 4 years I had been doing it really. Was ok at first but when you're in a village of ~1300 people it's hard to fill up a team with enough boys of around the same age. Not a big thing when you're seven but at 10 I was really wishing from some actual team work instead of the trainer's constant suggestion of passing to the one egotistical but rather good striker we had, which became a rather transparent strategy for the opposing teams to counter.

I still consider it my best birthday present ever!!

I really enjoyed riding and love to do it more. I don't think it would be practical to take care of a horse while living in an apartment. I always find the most expensive hobbies...
Yes, it is very expensive, that's why I had to drop it when I went to university. No paying for those lessons on a student's budget! (unless you wanted to skimp on just about every other social aspect of your student life). In comparison soccer was a pittance in its yearly contribution fee and a pair of new shoes each year because I had outgrown the old ones.

There's a world of difference between the two. The saddles and briddles are one thing. You're almost ensconced in a western style saddle compared to an English one. Roughly speaking you might also say that English riding is more focussed towards dressage and bending the horse to do ones will, while western style is more about 'doing tricks' and using a more natural bond and voice commands to make the horse do what you want, or that's how I feel about it really.

You can't really ride in one style on a horse that has been taught the other style. Well, you can try, but you're likely to not get anywhere except maybe flat on your face on the ground!  :icon_lol:

While I don't think you're ever too old to ride a horse (barring physical or mental deficiencies of course), it would help not being too old when learning. For the simple reason that you will fall somewhere along the line and you don't want your bones to be old and brittle when that happens.

So yeah, our garden had these outdoor electrical outlets that have been there since we bought the house (2008). But they were becoming old and a hazard for causing short outs. And as they share the power group with our living room (why???!!!), I thought it was a good idea to get rid of them.

Now I believed that the two outlets were connected in series. So I had turned the power off disconnected the relevant wires, and went to work. Whoops! They each had their own separate power line!

The Tower card symbolises disaster and that whatever has gone horribly wrong can't be fixed. If it shows up in a spread in a reversed angle it symbolises an extreme disaster and everything is FUBAR. It's the one card in the deck you really don't want to apply to you.

The tarot is fascinating but I'm not sure I believe in it. That said I've seen enough weird stuff in my time to not be able to simply dismiss the role of fortune.

I don't belive in it either as a something that can tell the future. However, it has 78 cards in it with situations that most people on the planet can relate to. You can also spin all kinds of context and attributes around them that would seem like valid suggestions to the mind. I figure it works a little bit like abstract art and the brain fills in a lot of the blanks on its own. Kinda like seeing a flawed movie for the first time and not seeing all the plotholes.

It doesn't actually predict the future, that would be incredibly silly.

I've spent half of this week painting Nuln soldiers and found out that there are good people still on this world. This guy has fantastic house and he and his wife are wonderful people, warm and very kind. They're both huge geeks and we've watched "Your Highness" yesterday. It was a blast.

That blood center in the video is where my wife donated blood. I went to a different center to give plasma (I'm O-Neg). The shooting took place only 15 minutes from where we live. It's been really inspiring to see the community respond in the way it has. I wish I could explain how inspiring it is.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Sig on June 15, 2016, 01:25:33 AM
Wouldn't they have wanted the red cells given you're O neg? Anyway good on you for donating. It's been eight years since I did. It's been interesting reading some of the coverage, the issue of gay men wanting to give blood and getting knocked back is always a thorny one, especially given the nature of the attack.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Karl Voss of Averland on June 15, 2016, 02:01:13 AM
I'm not sure, I thought they'd ask me to give double red blood cell. I donated in the past with them (they do drives twice a year at my office), so they have my info on file. I actually got an automated phone call from them asking to give plasma due to a mass casualty incident, so that's what I made an appointment for.

I heard they just lifted the prohibition on homosexual donors. They always ask a lot of questions when you donate. My friend was turned away because she lived in England for more than 3 months in the late 1990s. Apparently Mad Cow can lie dormant in blood for 20 years.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Sig on June 15, 2016, 02:27:19 AM
Double red cell, ouch. We don't do that here, would be very risky for many donors and we're incredibly risk averse. Probably too risk averse, actually.

I doubt the ban has been lifted but rather changed from permanent to 12 months. It's been 12 months here in Aus for quite a while and a few years ago we tried to get it down to 6 months but got knocked back by the TGA (equivalent of your FDA I guess). Many countries had a permanent ban on men who have sex with men, but now it's getting down to 12 months. Of course this still prevents most gay men from donating, since you have to have been celibate for a year, but it doesn't wipe out all the guys who experimented at some stage or are bisexual.

It's very H.R. Gigerish looking and I love his morbid and surreal style. :happy:

But yeah, I also probably should have put out a warning about it being a morbid giant boob monster. :unsure:

Very good! Thankfully the chainsaw is not yet self aware. I have a row of trees at the bottom of the garden which I am taking down. I've used the opportunity to cut the trunks down to the same level as the Cornish hedge so I can lay decking about three foot off the  ground and make a play platform for my daughter. My wife has gone away for a week with the kids to see the in laws so I want a surprise for when they get back.

Probably wise. Guy I knew got killed when one of the diamond tips flew off into his femoral artery. Went to cut up some wood and after a while the guys said "ere, where's Bill" and found the poor bigger lying in a pool of blood with the chainsaw idling nearby. Not a happy thought!

Years ago, before my Grandfather passed away, he got a photograph signed by a WW2 fighter pilot Bud Anderson. He was a triple ace and flew the P-51 Mustang 1944-1945. I just found the photograph in a folder stored with some old documents. I decided to frame it.

I've finally finished my office/painting den in my garden building I built three years ago. My extension stopped progress while it got used for storage. Once the Olympic is over I'm looking forward to spending some time in there. So much to paint. I've been bringing all my Warhammer stuff out of the loft.  I've, like most of you I'm sure, got bloody loads of stuff to get on with.

Had quite an experience these last few weeks. Had total heart failure,died then was brought back (special freezing of the body down to 34 degrees ) and among the 2% to live without permanent brain damage. I can thank my wife for her solid reaction time and cpr techniques as well as calling 911 in the midst of it all.
This certainly ranks in the happy thoughts 😺

Was working on my roof on the 31 of July. Very hot. That night we were watching you tube videos on different roofing techniques and I said I was pretty warm. The. I keeled over and that was the beginning.
I guess I'm have no cholesterol problem or heart problem other than the electrical rythem can just stop. So I get an ICD installed on Thursday with heart medication. Adeptus Mechanicus begins!!
The freezing procedure is to bring the body to 34* then raise the temp for a few days and hope for the best. They shove a pile of drugs and tubes into you and I lost my memory of 2 days before and at least 3 days afterward

had a pacemaker for years, never had any problems with magnets of any kind, although I do avoid the big magnetic screeners at the airports, but they can use the want as long as they only wave it over one time, I have been told that waving it repeatedly and rapidly over the pacemaker can cause some problems.  It does not interfere with karate sparring either.  steveb

Actually Steveb winters in Arkansas seem to be colder due to the levels of humidity ...but the days here are cold and lots of snow which makes skiing and snowboarding a go! There are a lot of gaming clubs around here, especially in the cold months, folks love board games and I found the best old school ( dinosaur) game shop ...oh the smell of stale Doritos, mtn. dew residue and old gamer sweat is everywhere lol

I'm kinda pissed that Dak is doing so well, and partially taking the shine off Wentz.

Was hoping Dallas would be terrible without Romo like last year, and might be 1-2 or 0-3 by now.

I think this is a perfectly Eagle-ian response, though, so I'm ok with it.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: wissenlander on September 28, 2016, 12:26:32 PM
This is sort of what I was expecting from the Skins.  Didn't expect to be so flat in the first game, but I think the coaching staff let the players skate too much in preseason.  Also, it was against the Steelers on a Monday night, which is generally a recipe for disaster with us.  Being tenacious and close against the Cowboys and the Giants is where I'd thought we'd be.  But then, those are division games and tend to have that sort of vibe anyway.  I guess we'll see against the Browns.  We should be winning that game at this point, but I say that a lot...

Funny enough. I have been binge watching unsealed alien files on Netflix lately and any other UFO stuff. Looney bin alert!
It has been interesting but they repeat an imense amount of content.
The only thing I can add is the West Carleton sighting in Ontario happened pretty much in my area about couple of miles away. I actually saw a thing flying around that was pretty bizarre and I jumped in the car to follow it but it of course took off. There were police and helicopters  buzzing around so I went home. You can google this sighting I think.
That's my UFO story and insanity.

WarhammerTV on Facebook (I can't easily link to the video) had a video where they, in a little comedic skit with dustbins, show Magnus the Red. The very last line - of a video which they specifically said to "watch until the end") is "there's stuff in here which isn't released for months .... plastic Sisters of Battle?!"

It is being taken by the community as suggesting plastic Sisters of Battle are incoming, perhaps Q1 next year.

Scarlett Johansson has opened her own popcorn shop in Paris.

Time to book a TGV ticket.

when in doubt, Hobbit.


FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam.
SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened.
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam?
SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Not really sure on the Gnu's point myself tbh.

Obviously I know that the Hobbits represent Tolkien's admiration for the rural english idyll, and the inherent strength he felt was present in english/north european folk.
Obviously I know he was a professor.
Obviously I know there are allegorical interpretations of LotR and ww2 (Even though he himself later said he disliked allegorical interpretations), and also racial interpretations of LotR


Regardless of all the above, that quote was from the film not the books.


and finally, I don't think LotR enduring appeal is because people take the main message to be the importance of servent/master relationship.

I like LotR, very much, and Tolkien was in many ways quite progressive for his time. (Exhibit A: http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/03/i-have-no-ancestors-of-that-gifted.html) At the same time, the values dissonance is amusing when read from a 21st century perspective.

"Watership Down" is another fine example of this. Good book, just some values are a bit dated.

Then again, LotR features a bunch of white people invading a country full of swarthy folk to prevent the resident tyrant getting his hands on a weapon of mass destruction. And by killing said tyrant they leave a power vacuum, and I'm quite sure they didn't spend any thoughts on nation building when they went home with their airforce and their heads full of "Mission Accomplished!"

Who's going to feed ten thousands of orcs, now without a leader? What kind of jobs are they supposed to do? Where are they supposed to go? We better find an answer to these questions, otherwise we'll have to deal with Orkaida in a few years.


And think about that some more, while we're there. How do we know that Sauron wanted to get his hands on the One Ring in the first place? Is there any sort of documentation on that? That is: public documentation, not some dubious reports which only Gandalf has seen. You know, that old geezer last seen amusing himself in a bedroom with some manchilds.

So we have his word that Sauron wants WMDs, and Elrond's word, and... that's pretty much it. Oh, wait: Galadriel, too. Two Elves. Who's the one who is to profit the most from Sauron's demise? Elves. Who has, for thousands of years, harbored a deeply racist dislike against orcs? Elves. Who turn's up at Helm's Deep just before the walls blow up? Elves.

Who was suspiciously absent from Barad-Dur when the tower fell?


Wake up, people. Entwood can't bend steel girders. Orthanc was an inside job. (The guy there was called Saruman the White, ffs.) Watch this space for more - unless the pointy-ears get me first.

I could not agree less - Tolkien was a true conservative. But some of the values he (as a conservative) disagreed with were the modernist (but not progressive) flavour of his day, and others are the [post-]modernist (and progressive) flavour of our days.

Tolkien not being an anti-Semite isn't progressive or conservative. It is just him not being a dick.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gneisenau on November 10, 2016, 10:10:23 PM
Absolutely.

Unfortunately, at the time this letter was written, it was socially acceptable to be one - and not only in Germany.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Darknight on November 10, 2016, 10:16:55 PM
But "being socially-acceptable" and "the norm (and therefore it is progressive to dissent)" are different.

Anti-Semite vs non-anti-Semite was not like (for example) being a royalist vs a republican-anarchist in 1930s England. If you were at a dinner party and someone said "So, the Jews?" and you said "I have no animus towards them and consider the stances of Mosley and Hitler flawed" people would have said "Fascinating - allow me to stroke my mustache and drink more port while we discuss this". If you were asked "So, the King?" and you said "I think the Bolsheviks have many excellent points vis-à-vis their killing of the Tsar and his family" the reaction would have been different.

Tolkien was holding a view that was not universal, but hardly rejected or even outside the mainstream. The country went to war with the Nazis and, once the truth of the Holocaust were known, reacted with horror. The fact the Nuremberg trials were held rather than "Meh, they were Jews - 'nuff said" suggests anti-Semitism wasn't generally approved of.

Introducing our Cardiac Cat. Mademoiselle Fluffy Latouche! One day while I was in the hospital I looked at the patients pet board and saw this pic of a cat and a number. Ripped it off the wall and handed it to my wife and said take care of this. The cat was at home in  a day and fit in well with our other calico. Ever heard the expression " enough to make a cat laugh" ? I think we can.

Just watched the trailer and the intro of the Ghost in the Shell live action remake.

Although I will retain some healthy scepticism until I actually see the movie, much in those two clips was remarkably close to the original (although they do seem to go for their own plot, judging from those brief scenes) - in case of the intro even leading in with the old main theme. And although I still don't think Scarlett Johannson looks particularly Japanese, seeing her in the role has calmed my concerns a little. I'm now cautiously optimistic it won't be complete dogshit. Yay!

Interview with Commissar Holt (not the famous one)

Interviewer: Any particularly memorable executions during your career.

C. Holt: Yes, several. I suppose the one that comes to mind foremost was not so much an execution as it was a surprise birthday party. I had been doing the rounds in my early twenty-fifth year when I found a trooper relieving himself on the side of a Chimera. Naturally, I marched him out and made an example of him. Imagine my surprise when colored paper and candy burst from his ruptured skull.

Turns out it was a servitor that had been packed with confetti, dressed in fatigues and ordered to cause trouble. Cake was served later, followed by a tribunal and additional executions.

Interviewer: Are there any guardsmen or guard regiments that you've actually been honored to serve with?

C. Holt: While I admire the vigour the Catachans possess, there's nothing quite like serving beside Kriegers. Never have I gotten so much reading done.

I'm setting up an aquarium, almost done.  I will plant the live plants tonight and assuming everything goes well with the parameter test tonight we can get our first shoal of peppered cory catfish tomorrow.

Also, I had lunch yesterday with a former co-worker who I had not seen in close to 2 years.  He was somewhat of a mentor, I guess, and it was good to see him again.

Reminds me of that annoying Wood Elf from the Morrowind expansion. The one who keeps asking you for money, and attacks you on the day after you stop giving him any. Makes for a nasty fight. IIRC he has no special stats, just an obscene luck score.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Artobans Ghost on December 21, 2016, 12:40:24 AM
Great article. I didn't know all the specifics - only that it took place. Made me think of a war game I have still kicking around from SPI called Berlin 85 which simulated a hypothetical invasion of Berlin in 1985. That was in the future when I first played it. Totally loved this game and played the hell out of it. Pitted 5 Russian divisions plus an East German division to plus a paratroop division to take on the English , French and American brigades plus 36 west German paramilitary companies guised as police units (this is how they beefed up the military presence without violating military treaties plus the 10th jäger division if it could be airlifted in. Not a big chance but it allowed another scenerio. Awesome game!  Learned more about Berlin thru that game and it became a focus to see when I made it to Europe strangely in 1985. Got into east Berlin thru checkpoint Charlie and promptly got lost in east Berlin. Remember running down the wall side looking for the checkpoint with 5  minutes left on my pass. Got thru in the nick of time with the east Berlin guard looking very stern. The colours of West Berlin really popped when I got back. I think I had 6 hours there.

I wish it was a video game. It was actually from a magazine Strategy & Tactics. With a paper map and cardboard counters for the units.
I had quite a few of these games at on point. Barbarossa, Kursk, campaign for North Africa, world in flames, Sicily 1943, wellingtons victory and so on. Lots of rules, tables and dice. Great learning devices as there was always an historical piece with each game. Played these mostly in my teens.

I fell 5m yesterday when some scaffolding collapsed under me, straight through the scaffold structure 1.2m wide, missing all the poles and clips, with boards falling with me and around me. Somersaulted while falling, Hit the ground and walked away with only a very small cut on my finger and just a bit stiff this morning.
Amazing. Either I'm made of steel or very lucky! Seemed like I was falling for ages, bullet time!

That is pretty unbelievable! 5 m is no small fall. 35 years in construction and I don't think I've seen this. Who built your scaffolding?
@midaski - they fined that guy almost £4500 in charges and 6 months in jail. The jail time is pure a pure BS thing (i'd probably bury my hammer in the judges brainsack to make it worthwhile)but I guess they take that seriously there.

Off to Chiang Mai in Thialand tomorrow morning with my wife for a weeks holiday, AND have left the kids with my sister for the week. Early morning drinking and late nights out here I come! All completed with loads of good food, massage (my back is quite tight after my fall last week) and actually sleeping all the way through the night without getting woken up by an 18 month old!!!!!
I might even get a bit of a tan too.
Got a day with the elephants, an all day wedding to go to and lunch with an old  friend. Hell, i'm even looking forward to watching three films in peace on the way over and back. Six movies will be more than I've watched in the last year.

I'll keep you informed, im in the second best hotel in town so there better be wifi!No back packing for me.

While looking through the attic at my Father's house, I found a box with Battle Masters parts that I played with as a kid! I thought it was lost forever.

(https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic1924442_md.jpg)

Having two of those boxes and a few expansions was the inception of my later Empire army (and my younger brother's Chaos army).

I was very happy to find it! I thought my dad got rid of it years ago.

My hypothetical future son is going to love some of the awesome kids toys I discovered in the attic.

You guys wanna hear something funny about rappers in my old home town :happy:
When the rap fad hit the dust bowel I grew up in, it was hilarious; there is nothing funnier then seeing a bunch of well off, rural Australian kids [primarily skinny white girls] trying to be as 'ghetto' as possible :biggriin:

Local girl: Yo, man we'z live in da hood
Me: Doesn't your father own the tractor dealership? You live in a three story house with an ornate water feature; what's 'ghetto' about that? :icon_rolleyes:

The trousers around knees, is probably the worst part. It's doubly hilarious, if one knows the origins of this trend - prison inmates, who offered their bodies to others, wore pants like that behind bars. :biggriin:

 Congrats Mathi and Karl  Voss - both excellent things.
A successful dinner is always welcome 😸 Looking up parsnips I just realized they are high on potassium which I am always low on. Avocado's are great for potassium but I digress.

I have to disagree. Whether you are a citizen, a company or a state, if there is a structural gap between your income and spending, you need to raise either your income and/or reduce your spending. Usually, the only realistic option for citizens is to reduce spending. Loans should only be used to cover a very temporary short-fall or for investments with a reasonable chance of return. If that is not te case, the banks should not be lending that money. The guy in this cartoon clearly has a structural problem - lending him money will do neither him nor the bank any good.

Actually Fidelis I cant argue this point at all. The banks are really never wrong when prying apart the financial background of a person.
I guess I feel that way as a self employed business owner for pretty much all my life and always having to jump hoops to prove that I can pay my mortgage and bills like anyone else. I feel I earned my hatred of them 😺

Hey Finlay. My two boys (6 and 8) discovered a label on a tiny stuffed toy fox last night that said "My name is Finlay. My Birthday is the 11th February." We've just spent the day accompanied by Finlay, taking him to the activity club (where he joined in the games), then the cinema to see Sing, then Frankie and Benny's Burger place, then he helped us in the Supermarket, etc and so on and what not, until just before bedtime when we sang happy birthday to him and gave him a chocolate roll with one candle on it that burned strangely red and uniformly. Finlay had a great time. You should be like him, just enjoy it.

Re: Dilf - If it means something bad then you posted in the wrong thread. Besides, don't take it personal, those girls probably meant nothing by it ....  Unless dilf is good, in which case yeah, cool, I'm sure they did mean it ... Unless is means nothing in which case they probably meant nothing by it, but this time in a literal sense.

Just some English things:

Laid is pronounced like paid but not like said and said is pronounced like bread but not like bead, and bead is pronounced like lead but not lead.

Cough
Rough
Though
Through
all of these words do not rhyme, yet pony and Bologna do.

minute and minute shouldn't be spelled the same. I'm not content with this content. I object to that object.  I need to read what I read again.  Someone should wind up this post and throw it into the wind.

Tear and Tier are pronounced the same but tear and tear are not.

The word Queue is pronounced kyoo.  It is a five letter word that is only pronounced with the first letter.

"Why can't you get me some ice cream" is really saying "why can not you get me some ice cream."

Here's a game.  Place the word "only" anywhere on the sentence "She told him that she loved him."

"I NEVER SAID SHE STOLE MY MONEY" has 7 different meanings depending on the stressed word.

Australia has 3 A's and all of them are pronounced differently.

If "womb" is pronounced "woom" and "tomb" is pronounced "toom", shouldn't "bomb" be pronounced "boom"?

"Will smith will smith?" is a correct sentence depending on how you look at it.

English feels like a flawed language every time I am forced to use "that that" in a sentence.

If GH can stand for P as in "hiccough," and OUGH can stand for O as in "dough," and PHTH can stand for T as in "phthisis," and EIGH can stand for A as in "neightbour," and TTE can stand for T as in "gazette," and EAU can stand for O as in "plateau," then a correct way to spell potato could be GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU.

and finally:
dad and mom
treat or trick
josh and drake
cheese and mac
jelly and peanut butter
George and Fred
white and black
Juliet and Romeo
Roll & rock
spice and sugar
Ashley and Mary-Kate
Abel and Cain
Jerry and Tom
cream 'n cookies
suffering and pain

A real-time map of Europe, showing

(2) current CO2-emissions (gram equivalent per kwh), and

It's in German, but should be easy to understand nevertheless. You can also display wind current. Quite some fun!

Checked out site. From Canada it's in English but no North American countries. This is very cool. A stupid , retarded question- what is biomass as a fuel. Ethanol or peat 😸
(Readying myself for embarrassment)
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gneisenau on March 08, 2017, 10:01:07 PM
No, that's actually an interesting issue.

In my neck of the woods, biomass mainly refers to wood scraps, biogas (from cows etc.), and purpose-grown plants (corn and rapeseed).

I'm not aware of peat being used on an industrial scale for power production. I checked two of the "big four" energy providers and they don't mention peat either. Apparently, peat sits on the line between biomass and fossil fuel, so it's a bit tricky to classify.

I don't think peat would be a viable option for Germany, because many bogs will be protected habitats, but that's just a guess. I'll have to look that up.

Now that I think of it, I had a contract - must have been 16 years ago now, pouring these concrete vats where the slope had to be just right and very smooth for the processing of corn into fuel. Iogen I think was the name of the company I believe.

Well he kinda glanced my foot and is only 169 pounds. I wanted to offer him some beer but didn't, then he drank someone elses beer and i was sad.

When they're standing next to you going  "move out the way" and you do, thinking you moved far enough...


I enjoyed it way more than i thought i was going to. It's like a hilarious amazing pantomime.

You should have pantomimed punched him. You know, the punch where you awkwardly stomp your foot?

I kinda like that attitude but it vexes me to think they'll be less and less jolly Englishmen as they carry on. :|

Anyway, here's a happy incident. One of my hens had eight new chicks in the top-part of my horse trailer. One fell down in the morning and it let me catch it to put it back with it's mom, I decided they'd be better off if I took care of them like the other 30 chicks I raised this month.

Another chick fell off at midnight when I came out to gather them up(at night most hens won't do anything to prevent you taking their chicks). It's body was stiff due to being on the cold ground for hours and me and my dad were gonna mark it off as dead, then I saw the tiniest twitch of it's eye. My dad said It was too late but I ended up sitting with it directly under a heating lamp and apply a finger-drop of water to it's beak every few minutes while rotating it's body.

It took an hour before it starting twitching more and trying to make noise out of it's dry throat. Another hour of constant care and and it was barely able to sit-up on it's own. Eventually I was able to put it with the rest of it's siblings under the heat lamp and watched it snuggle with them.

Close-call but he's healthy again and running around with the rest like nothing happened.  Small victories are the best. :-)

Finally got my license back and can drive again.  Almost 8 bloody months since the heart failure and I've got clean bill of health. Cardiologist says the heart is in almost perfect condition and has no explanation why it stopped. Very reassuring but what the hell. So I have Meds I'm on for life as a first line of defence plus a defibrillator attached to the heart as a second defence. I guess people are serious about getting paid off dang it. Anyway it feels good to get back on the road with millions of other insane humans again and battle the odds. It's been very trying , trying to run a contracting business with no transport. Poor wife has had to handle all the driving and she hates driving so I'm glad I don't have to handle the road rage anymore. Lucky we work together so it could have been worse. Everything could have been worse. Doc says I can live to a ripe old age. Yay - 30 more years of bitching about life 😺

You lucky bastard  :biggriin: - I don't get mine back until May 9th

The one good thing is being an old fart I qualify for a 'bus pass' so I can get out if I desperately need to see a customer.

Doc said same about my pipework, but then after an MRI they did find a slight weakness in a ventricular wall - but like you, they cannot explain why the heart rate went crazy.
It's the 'electrics' hotwiring :biggriin:

As the cardiac rehab nurse said at the fitness class - "You lot are the lucky ones. You have had an incident, and been sorted out, so you know exactly what you have to do to stay healthy and alive. Everyone else is out there wandering around not knowing if they have a problem."

Still I will settle for the 30 years you got promised  :engel:

We should have a WE ICD membergroup.

Okay, this had me laughing to tears.

There was a social experiment on reddit called r/place where redditors could place a pixel on a massive blank canvas every five minutes. This of course lead to a collage of everything from national flags to anime memes.

https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/63a9k8/now_where_do_i_hang_this/

Of course the amount of trolling and fandom attacks on other tags were all over the place leading to things like African flags turning into pacman and the one piece and naruto fandoms teaming up to protect eachother because their flags were getting warped into cyborgs with laser eyes.

Despite the insanity they all pulled together and finished it....

Except the Crocodile Dundee fandom...

Here was their memorial flag at it's best:

https://screenshots.bartstuff.eu/06623_91bc70d6387498d50cae557df8d8112b.png

Here's what they had when time ran out:

https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/638af4/hes_forever_like_this_now_you_fucks/

The best part though is that thanks to the games we now have all the books in English, before it was rough with only 'Last Wish' really then dealing with the generous fan translations. Though as Lady of the Lake came out out I was pleased that my guess was right in that 'amber' made no sense but ambergris much more.

With the help and encouragement of doc j I have indeed made my first model purchase on eBay in about 5 years. It was for 20 battle master beastmen and they will form up with my skaven battalion that was given to me at my last tourney I think. They are to be my chaos (1st and only) army and will be AoS (at this point some of you may think this should be in the unhappy thread 😺).  The idea came from a realmgate book in which the skaven and beastmen were working closely together. As I said to doc, I probably would never do a full beastman or skaven army but the combo feels right. If I can find a shaggoth all will be well. As every dollar has to do the work of ten, I may be forced to do something about the crazy expenditure and get back into the hobby.

My favorite was the meta egg (egg within a egg).

We've gotten the hollow eggs and ones that looked like they came out of a straw but nothing like that. :lol:

After 4 days of the 10 day detox I awoke today, day 5, and weighed myself. I've lost 11lbs   :ph34r: Yesterday I did notice a difference in myself. My tummy was smaller as was my neck. I need to stick to it and finish today and go onto the next 5 days to finish.  Wish me luck!

Finished my 10 day detox. I've lost 14lbs and my appetite is smaller, as is my waist line.  Going forward I think I will keep the morning shakes and the lunch salads but be a bit more diverse with my dinner.  Continuing with portion control and eating to satisfaction instead of full I think I can loose more.  Also going to couple it with exercise. I do feel healthier, awake and more alert so there may be something to this.

I binge watched all of Netflix's GLOW [gorgeous ladies of wrestling]
The show was hysterical. Such contrived, forced plots for the events. Such clichéd personas. The mockery of yuppie culture.
The things I loved:
Bonehead writer comes up with an idea for a time travel movie which by coincidence was another movie that was a big hit at the time [the shows set in 1985]
Guys snorting cocaine off of a picture of Ronnie and Nancy [See MST3K's Hobgoblins]
The robot was referred to as a 'Gobot' [the K mart of Transformers] at one point
AND Stan Bush's 'Dare' during a training montage

Finally have the hobby room about 90% and operational. Just have to laminate the work table and sort a couple more boxes. Maybe cut the table down (6x4 at the moment) but really huge in the room. Found out I through out most of my Warhammer scenery except for a couple of mangy trees and a couple of shacks. The mice chewed up my green Matt for the base. But what the hell. Have tons of 40k terrain. All hyped for AoS and no terrain. Just bought my first paints - again a rash decision considering it's the base paints for the space wolves - were I left off six years ago. Can't afford the new rules and codexes yet but it felt so good to base coat 10 gray fangs with the fang colour. So I'm painting 40k which I can't play and can't set up a Warhammer table for AoS. Always a wrench in every gear but at least I'm doing something. 
I'll post some pics of the new digs when I have the bench finished.

I hate to be "that guy" but it was actually slightly too awesome!

We cooked ourselves on saturday (also too much beer not enough water) so the walk on sunday, even though it wasn't particularly long or strenuous felt like a massive slog.

Probably better than 16 degrees and pouring rain though, which is what We had for about a week shortly after we finished the walk!



Can't it just be like 22-25 degrees, a bit sunny and a bit cloudy? Very inconsiderate

I was vacationing further north in Scotland at the same time.
 :-D


Edinburgh, start of the trip.

(http://i.imgur.com/Quv1gbK.jpg)

(http://imgur.com/6ks18mV.jpg)

We ended up driving around 1300 miles in total in those two weeks. Roughly going by the places we stayed for at least a night, we went from Edinburgh to Anstruther, further up the coast, visiting Falkirk, Stirling Castle and Bannockburn on the way.

(http://imgur.com/0nwUqKz.jpg)
Bannockburn

Stirling Castle

More Stirling Castle

From there further up the coast via Arbroath, Dundee and Stonehaven, inland through the Cairngorms to Dufftown. Dufftown is a small town of like 2000 people in the highlands that's pretty much the Whisky capital of the world - 7 distilleries there, including Glenfiddich.

The Mash Tun in Aberlour, the next village over from Dufftown. Our host used to run that pub until he sold it to do the B&B.

We spent a couple days there at an awesome bed and breakfast, and had a very fun time with our hosts. On the 24th we made a trip to Forres to watch the Pipe Band European Championship, which was great. After the awards ceremony at the end all the attending bands played a couple songs together... and lemme tell you, "Scotland the brave" sounds pretty stunning when played by (my guess) about 1700-2000 musicians, about half of them bagpipes. Well worth watching! This is a clip I found on youtube just now of the eventual winners, Inveraray, from the event:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_ht2-WwRkk#t=62.456125

Saying goodbye to Dufftown, we went further north, visiting Fort George, The Culloden battlefield museum and Inverness, stopping at Tain for the night.

Fort George, a HUGE Vauban fort that's completely intact. The Black Watch, 3rd Battallion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, is still stationed there.
So it's basically an active barracks that's also a tourist attraction. Weird, but cool!

From there, on to Dunrobin Castle (pretty much our furthest north point of the trip) and then over to the east coast via Lairg on Loch Shin (where I had a moment of weakness and bought an excellently tailored tweed jacked and vest), through the highlands to Ullapool.

We spent an excellent evening there and then drove down south along the coast, eventually going over to the Isle of Skye via the bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh. There, we had a cottage for a couple of days, about 10 miles north of Portree.

As our stay on Skye came to a close, we went to the southern coast of the isle and took a ferry from Armadale to Mallaig. From there, via Fort William to Glencoe. We stopped for the night at Oban.

(http://imgur.com/DmPKxBA.jpg)
Oban

From Oban, we headed for the Loch Lomond national park, the final part of our journey, stopping at Kilmartin to visit the museum and the neolithic remains around the village, and at Inveraray. We stayed in Arrochar (which is right on the northern tip of Loch Long, and about a 2 mile trip over to Loch Lomond) for the final two days and then headed back over to Edinburgh, and the flight home.

We stayed at The Bank in Anstruther, where I had one of the best fish dishes I'd ever tasted - haddock smoked over oak shavings, poached with prawns, in a saffron cream sauce. I didn't have fish and chips there though!

Seriously though, the food was amazing pretty much all over, as my depressingly enhanced paunch can attest. Worth it though!

I loved Scotland. Probably the most beautiful place I ever visited. Hiked pretty much the whole way up to the north coast and over to Ullapool. Caught a ride with some fishermen to get to Glasgow. I still remember in the back of a tiny van with a load of live lobsters in buckets until they fell over and were my mates for the ride. Pouring rain and bombing along roads like your pictures. What a riot.

What the hell do you do with vinyl records you can't play anymore but can't throw out? Just about all my major inspirational albums except Tales from Topographical Oceans by Yes is there. The beginnings anyway.

(https://artobansghost.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/img_0741.jpg)



Edit: found my missing inspiration albums. Probably the most influential album ever was Relayer by Yes. Bottom left. The jazz rock influence of Soundchaser and the 21 minute tribute based loosely on war and peace - Gates of Delerium

For the love of god don't throw them out. Vinyl has become huge again. You can probably pick up a decent turn table for pretty cheap. Two or three years ago my brother and I got a state of the art turn table and peripheral stuff for our dad as a fathers day gift. I wouldn't be surprised if a place like best buy carried some, but there's guaranteed to be a music store nearby with exactly what you need.

I don't disagree 😸 I guess I gave up on vinyl in '87 or so. Switched to cd's and replaced everything. Then they kinda croaked so it's been mostly digital. Good to know about about turntables though. Might get one for nestolgia reasons. Always hated cd packages and the micro letters. When I give up on something, I rarely look back. Anyone remember stacking penny's on the needle arm?

Day 366 since I dropped dead last year. I tried to stay up last night to that fateful hour (11:00) but was just too tired and really didn't give a crap. Anyway I'm still here and continue to pay bills 😸
On the other hand I managed to get this hobby room up and running again and almost finished painting a squad of space woofs, played 5 out of six scenarios in the skirmish campaign and read quite a bit of books including one Terry Pratchett book which was insanely funny. I think my priorities are shining thru lol.

Just skimming thru SKS 'a blog and Xath's blog. Great battle report SKS and I have to say I really want to try the new 40k now. Never heard of a librarian dread before. And checking out Xath's blog and I come across his new recipes! This blins look awesome and that cold soup sounds fantastic. It's really like cold Cucumber  soup here. There was a restaurant in merrickville that used to have this on the menu. It was so good, that was one of the main reasons going there. After they dropped it that was it. Well done on the snack department!

Just spent a week in south of France near Nimes, rented a old mill house on a river with a pool. Weather has been amazing. Not a cloud and 30 - 33 degrees ( nearly 100 for my colonial friends) every day. Few mosquitoes bites, but nothing to worry about. I also took my sister in law and her three kids away with us after a rough couple of months for them.

Back home tomorrow for the weekend then it's a bank holiday weekend next weekend and then also have Friday off for my 40th bday so only a three day week!

As it was high season I think I paid £2300 for the week. But sleeps 7/9. Flights on easy jet and car hire isn't expensive. Everything there costs the same or slightly more than here. Especially food as there is vat on it all. Worth it. Went to Portugal last year which was cheaper but not as good or relaxed.

A "Conscious Realignment" of home space is being undertaken.

Mrs has made Guest/2nd Bedroom the 'alternative' TV room.

The original games room - which has had a pretty permanent painting area for a while now, is being used for the redistribution of unwanted items.
The attic is being emptied to see what is actually up there, and what we want to keep, sell, or bin.

My office will remain as a place for domestic paperwork and such, and my PC, but the removal of all my work related catalogues and such should free more modelling space. It is a bit crowded with minis storage so I may need to find some extra space for that.


My machinations will hopefully lead to more hobby space.

I need to get some image hosting facility - I had been quite busy with scenery stuff earlier in the year.

I have tried Wordpress and it's been great. Free, easy to use and can be a complete blog space if you want it all for nothing. I havnt tried that part yet but the rest is really solid.

Going to play a "Megagame" called The World Turned Upside Down around the American Revolution hosted at Guilford Courthouse Battlefield.

Seems the rules are D&D mixed with a type of model UN.

I went to Atul Kochhar's restaurant 'Benares' with my family for dinner last night in Mayfair, London. We had the kitchen table so you can see all the service and workings of the kitchen going on in front of you while you eat. It was amazing. Food was top notch and the wine flight was paired to perfection. Started with a bottle of Bollinger.

If you like Indian food then you have to go. Just don't get landed with the bill, like i did, if you can avoid it!

Read some funny and true GM advice in an article on better Shadowrun GMing. Don't get too complicated with your overarching plot. Simpler is better most of the time. "travel to Mount Doom and chuck the ring into the crater". That was sufficient plot for 3 overlength movies, and should be good enough for you as well.

Columbian 604 Machinists Vise. This sucker has 4" jaws and weighs 44lbs, but will be really nice to get mounted on my workbench. Best I can research is that it dates to pre-1940s due to shape of logo. Hopefully it gives me and family another 80+ years of service.

So an old friend and I met up in DC for lunch to catch up.  We haven't seen each other in a year, so lunch was just not enough time to get up to speed.  The establishment was anxious to get rid of us since they know we wouldn't be ordering more and they wanted the space for new customers. This can be common in the US, granted we stayed an additional hour after finishing our meal.  Being that I live in DC, there were plenty of places to walk and talk. We walked several blocks to get to the DC mall and walked the grounds.  There was some sort of christian or religious festival and concert happening on the mall.  We past it and sat along the waterfront of the Grant memorial in front of the Capital building.  We had been catching up for about 6 hours when we decided we should return home to our wives.  As we left the Grant monument, we saw a peculiar site.  3 men were on the other side of the street (diagonally from us) waiting to cross to our same destination. "Yep, those are penises" I said.  There was a young Indian man on a bike waiting to cross with us and he looked over too.  The 3 of us just started laughing.  2 of the 3 men on the other side of the road were wearing giant inflatable penis costumes, complete with testicles.  We snapped some photos of the walking chodes as they marched by on their way to the christian festival, which I am sure was their target.  I sent said knob pictures to my brother to warn him about moving to DC as there are too many dicks here.  He laughed hysterically.  I would post the picture here but I am sure the mods would be quite upset.

TL;DR - And that's the story of how I sent my brother an unsolicited dick pic.

Had the first pen and paper RPG evening in about two years, and it was great. We played Kult, I very deliberately avoided reading up on the specifics of the setting, besides the bare bones (the year is 1984, we're in West Berlin, and the genre is horror. The cover of the book says "splatterpunk") since our GM told us "trust me, you'll have a lot more fun if you have no idea what this game is about".

So far, so good. We started off arriving in prison, we're all cellmates and doing time for various reasons . I play a bit of an investment shark prodigy who made insane money on a variation of the Ponzi scheme and eventually got caught. Smooth talker, charismatic and brilliant, but not exactly overburdened by morals. So I get to know my fellow players, aka cellmates - a physically frail, pretty loony forger who's a regular jailbird. An American born naturalized German who is very cagey about his reason for doing time. He appears to be ex-army or something. A fence who got caught in a sting operation. And a strong, fat guy, very well spoken, but also quite tight-lipped about his crime.

Oh well, I soon went to setting up a prison all-purpose dealer operation, quickly enlisting my cellmates for the thing (the forger is a pretty brilliant artist, so he might as well draw porn we can sell, the former soldier scares off trouble...), pretty much out of sheer boredom, and to see if I could do it. Then, things got weird.

One night, reeeeally late, most of us woke up as we heard very unusually heavy footsteps approaching the cell next to us, the cell door opening, the heavy, slow steps going in, and then a long silence, and then those same, heavy steps disappearing down the hallway, dragging something. Then silence again. The next day, one guy wass missing from the  cell next to us. Only we seemed to notice. He didn't get called up in the morning checkup, and none of the other inmates seemed to even remember him. His bed was gone too. It was like he was never even there.

And the same thing happened the night after. Again the steps, again the cell door next to us opening, the silence. As the fence was listening with his ear to our door, whoever was making those heavy step sounds dragged something slowly along our cell door on the outside, some metallic, pointy object propably?, stopping right at the point where the fence's head was pressed against the door on the other side. Then the heavy steps resumed and disappeared down the hallway, again dragging something. And again, a guy was missing the next morning, and we were the only ones missing him... and there was no mark on the door on the outside, although from the sound there should have been at least paint flaked off.

We're on the third night now, and we've prepared as best as we can, planning to make noise when the steps appear again, and if our cell door should open this time, to rush whatever is waiting outside together. I had used my prison business to organize a shiv, that's all I could manage on such short notice. And sure enough, the steps approached again, passing by our cell door, and then the sound of the cell next to ours opening, and the steps going in. And silence. We had a whispered debate on whether or not to make noise now, when there was an audible, familiar click. The sound of our cell door being unlocked, and popping open just a couple centimetres - and there is no light outside...

It was a fun evening, and I very much look forward to the next session.

Kult is actually being remade at this very moment, it's quite outdated in setting so I wonder which version your GM is using. The remake is via kickstarter and I think they've released some of the rules.

Not my cup of tea but it has a very devoted following!

Middenheim can be a sandbox too. If you aren’t doing the main campaign investigation, there are a zillion plot hooks and things to do.

Theoretically, you can make a massive sandbox out of DotR and Middenheim City. I like how the campaign at least takes you around the empire. And from the sounds of it, I’m glad Rufus had us skip Kislev.

2nd night I worked there. The man who answered the door was watching a 'video'. He shrank the window, instead of closing it
3rd night. Pair of cowgirls.......I'm guessing they were horse enthusiasts of some sort. that must be why there was a whip and pair of chaps on the bed...I didn't ask.
4th night. Had to take a meal to a skin head. Ten minutes later, I'm taking two meals to a pair of shirtless, Sudanese men in the room two doors down....It was a warm night...... Maybe that's why they took their shirts of?
Last Tuesday: Took an order to a young lady who was conducting all her property deals via phones in her undies. She was speaking so professionally and eloquently for a girl in such short shorts. I wonder if she attends auctions, dressed like that?
Tonight: Probably not the most entertaining. But I took an order to a man and his young son. The kid ordered corn flakes for dinner and was overjoyed when they arrived.

Thanks everyone. Yes I did have a good time with my two little boys. I'm going to have a proper celebration this weekend on Saturday and because it's me I'm going to play a big Warhammer game with 5 friends. I'll try to remember to take some photographs. I think the scenario will involve two linked tables. Each table will represent one side of a settlement or some other feature so that we can have on one table 4000 points of vampire counts fighting against two 2000 point armies and on the other table another 4000 points of vampire counts fighting against 2 allied armies. The 4 allied armies in the middle will be the defenders of the settlement, while the two huge vampire counts armies are allied attackers. This way I will get to use some newly painted figures. I always like to play with a few newly painted units on the field.

Makes me just want to twist and shout.

So - taps into your sole does it?

You colonials can't just waltz into our Eurobash, and quick step over our traditions.

I honestly don't know what hurts me more. The secrets, the puns or lumping my loyal Canadian soul in with the yanks.  :cry: Of course it's probably harder making a pun about dominions.  :wink:

I also have no pun follow up, which just shames me more. I can only hope one of my fellow new worlders will step in with something impressive.

That'd be one Eurobash I wouldn't mind missing.
Passing up eurobash tango might be a W-E faux pas. Not sure of the etiquette
It's true, men have been known to dance with men, particularly with tango.

However, if there was a milonga being run one of the same days as the Eurobash in Belgium, it certainly would make things more attractive.  There'd be ladies there!

Forget about soccer, the next Eurobash will feature tango dancing between all the members!
Well it was the Rumba two years ago, and the Salsa last year, so we are due a change.
I suppose if GP came we would have to make it the American Smoothie  :engel:

You don't think we tell you lot everything that goes on, do you?
Rumba, Salsa, and American Smoothie sound like names for the drinks being served at the Eurobash. :icon_wink:

By the way, GP is fluent in American Smooth and International Standard.  Evidently Midaski knows the difference, I'm impressed. :::cheers:::

Oh my, had to reduce the font when quoting that one.  That seemed to come out a bit too over the top in bpms, and reminded me of a ballroom tango with its overly staccato delivery at the same time.  Ooooooh, I cringe at the thought.

To be fair generally in our high school education we learn that it was less about avoid a fight (That we probably were to polite to actually do), and more about not having to spend anymore money on us. It's all well and good building an empire, until you actually have to pay to maintain the less interesting bits. India may be the jewel in the crown, but Canada was the friendly, overly polite kid that just keeps bringing beaver pelts.

So if it's any kind of dance its more like the financial side step.

Sorry if this is a bit long and takes a while to get to the point. Just bear with me

Its come to my attention that stolen valour is a bit of a problem in the U.S, clowns dressing up as servicemen [often in the wrong uniform and with incorrect badges, decorations etc]. It seems a few people have in my neck of the woods have tried it too. I saw a video of a man, masquerading as a soldier at a McDonalds [I guess he'd just googled 'soldier' and pieced the uniform together from what he could find].

First hint: The man claimed he'd been at the Kapooka base [which is close to where I live] yet the McDonalds he was at was on the Gold Coast [that's a bit of a hike]
Second hint: The badge on his beret looked like the American Airborne Rangers one. And not a domestic unit
Third hint: Vague and evasive comments and responses to questions about service record

This might not seem like a 'happy' random thought but I had a good laugh at the video when I saw it. I have friends in the services and i'm sure they'll like the video when I get to show it to them.

I've seen a good number of dance friends get married, and then they have a kid.  Changes their involvement in dance to say the least.  I feel for ya bud.

I always wanted to have a youngster, but probably past the age where that's going to happen.

Picture 1:
Roubute Guilliman is alive again and have a project to create Primaris Marines.  they are bigger ad more anatomically correct looking than regular space marines.  The picture shows that the regular space marines are being replaced by these "chad-marines."  The regular space marine goes on the internet and complains about it the same way some people go on the internet and say they are being body shamed because they ran into someone who was fit.

Picture 2:
The Aftermath after Cadia blew up.  The floating Necron is Trazyn the infinite who tried to help the cadians and other imperial fight off Abaddon but they still lost.

I was waiting for two deliveries to arrive by mail, one from GW and one from Warlord Games. Both were taking their sweet time. Then, finally, note from the post office that a package is waiting for me. I found myself hoping it'd be the one from GW, because I know that if the Warlord delivery would fail to arrive, they'd send me a new one, but I wouldn't know about GW. Turned out it was the one from GW  :-)

They so rarely are. My cat, before she became indoor full time, once met a moose at the cottage. She did not care in the slightest, just sat directly in front of it and swished her tail till the moose wandered off somewhere else.

She gets frazzled by shiny lights, but the only time somethings ever impressed her was when she was in the backyard and a turkey and her chicks jumped the fence and flew in. She decided she felt like turkey for lunch, or turkey chick anyway, but momma chased her under the deck.

A cat that stared down a moose! That’s a new one. We had a wild turkey family that came to our feeders regularly. Until the above drove straight into the centre of them and scattered them like a spilled bowl of cereal. Didn’t catch any but they never came back either. 😺

In fairness to the Moose bravery, I don't know if it even saw my cat. It was to busy eating most of my bushes. Yet as far as the cat's concerned, she and she alone stared it into submission.

Also that feat up thing is weird. I'm now picturing all our American members doing that while posting though.

Thirteen Orks on the captain's chest
Looking to quench their greedy thirst
Gruntin' at each uvva
through big sharp teef Saying "I was da wun dat found it first!"

One lone Ork left to steal the loot
Wishing it hadn't turned out so
Gruntin' at 'imself

Any details on why? Just curious.  :blush:

It uses the 7th edition rules, but they're much more refined and the game, overall, is more balanced. Also the models are cooler and you're really getting that "total war" feel with HH.

If I had more disposable income I think I may enjoy that.  :happy:

My view each day I come to work. This chain of cars stretches in one direction for as far as you can see. Been there for the last 4 years at least. Love the name, the colours, the look, and the unknown story that goes with it.

Wisconsin Central originally dates back to the early 1900s, was taken over by the Soo Line in the middle of the 20th century, and eventually by the Canadian National RR.

Are they on a side track, or as its called, a siding, and there is a switch connecting to the main line that runs past it, or perhaps down the track some ways?
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Artobans Ghost on February 17, 2018, 02:22:32 AM
@feanor - that was too funny. And true!

@GP- yes. On a siding. There is in fact another line in front of them that heads out to the valley. And the main line to Kingston a little behind that one.

I had to do a double take when I came into this thread.  Wasn't sure if I was in the same place as before.

@GP- yes. On a siding. There is in fact another line in front of them that heads out to the valley. And the main line to Kingston a little behind that one.
Wondering if there is a vacant building that or more that the siding once served.

Good luck Xathrodox86. Venice is a really nice city with the correct weather, so keep a weather app handy.

On my side, I think a few years ago I shared that I had terrible cholesterol and I had not been to the doctor because was scared it would stay the same. I went yesterday and its all back into normal ranges, so I am kind of happy about it.

Will try to keep doing all the healthy stuff I did, and maybe push it a little more just because.

So ... the local office where I operate my business out of is closing it's doors, and I have had the opportunity to pick in advance how much of the furniture I'm taking with me.  There's another guy who has gone around and put tags on the stuff he wanted and wrote on the stickies the initials of the non-profit group that he is planning to donate stuff.  And guess what the initials are?

Wait, wait for it, here they are ... G. P.

Guess that means I get to have all of his picks, too? :icon_wink: :icon_lol:

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. You possess the initials...therefore...

I’m hoping you occupied the same space for different leasing reasons and the closing doesn’t effect your operations personally. Although having to uproot shop unintentionally is not fun.

Had a game of 40k the other day. First time I've played since I moved.
Relictors [who are totally not heretics] vs Orks
The orks were hindered by their inability to get along, shoot straight and make what rolls and saves they needed.
The Relictor sniper scouts performed admirable whereas my Librarian terminator didn't really do much AND he was the most powerful model on the table.

@Artobans ghost
I assembled the force a few years ago when I read a white dwarf article on them and I thought they were pretty interesting [same issue also included their Index astartes article]. I know lots of people think they're heretics due to their use of 'borrowed' chaos weapons but I see them more as Indiana Jones types [treasure hunters who are always in way over their heads]
The command squad [namely the terminator librarian] performed very poorly and struggled to inflict anything more than scratches on some lowly shoota boys whereas the sniper scouts did most of the damage.

I forgot to mention that the killa kan my opponent uses looks a bit like Gizmoduck from Ducktales [it has one leg and one wheel]. We have proxy rules for it. You roll the direction dice to see which way it meanders then roll another to see how far it goes. During the game, it did nothing but make figure 8 patterns in a cartoonish manner.

Smashing! Lol nice proxy rules and totally orkish. I love kills kans. at a GW ever many years ago my son had the 3 kans in battle and took on a baneblade. At the end there was a lone kills with a bus saw and bits of baneblade lying around. On top of that he was 13 I  think and got a rousing round of applause.

He did well to take on the baneblade and come out tops. In my experience, ork vehicles seem to be more trouble than their worth.
I'm surprised the Gizmoduck kan survived as long as it did. My Relictor devestators kept firing at it but never seemed to score a direct hit

Remarkably enough that's almost certainly a raven in the picture. If you see a crow and raven in real life it's fairly easy to tell the difference. Raven's are usually twice the size and look a great deal more raggedy. They also look like they might have a hunchback or an old man look.

Both are fiendishly smart. Both are also excellent mimics. Ravens have been known to mimic some human voices, and crows frequently mimic babies cries to lure people away from food. Blue Jays are part of the same family and just as smart.

One time when I was up in Nunavut for a field camp we stopped to study some ravens. We saw a full grown one pick up a baby fawn and fly off with it.

It uh... it likely didn't end happy for the fawn.

By the gods!
I’d like to an end the above. I love ravens possibly a bit more than crows. I was feeding a fam of crows for about a year when another hroup moved in and tried to kill one of the mother’s offspring. I managed to save him and took him to the bird sanctuary where they healed him over 6 months and released him. The new group had claimed the territory but would not eat the peanuts I would leave out. They also would not let the old fam back in. Every few weeks they would show up and I would shower them with peanuts and then they would be on the run again. This has gone on for an additional 2  years. Hopefully someday they will reclaim their territory. They were notable because of white patches on them. Strangely one day my wife looked out and saw a tired old one sitting near our  teepee and the next day he had fallen to the ground and died there. He had a White patch and we buried him in the center of the teepee.

Possible future careers for me now that I'm a cyclops

Classical pirate: The river that runs through town is too narrow to fit a tall ship in. I'll probably have to dress a raft up to resemble a tall ship

Opera phantom: Two or three play houses in town. I'm not sure if they need anyone to haunt them. Slim chance of Scooby doo crossover if that position becomes available

S.H.I.E.D agent: I'll probably have to binge watch and cram every marvel book and movie first. Maybe I can get a cinematic universe of the 1970's TV movies happening. I'd never pass up a chance to work with Reb 'Blast hard chees' Brown

Hero of Hades hive: Maybe I can fill in for Yarrick when he needs a day off?

One of the first things I saw with my healed eye was a notice about the actor who played my namesake having died. Oh well, at least he was adored and honoured in one small community. And two weeks ago I was worried that my thug of a former brother had damaged my eye beyond repair and that I'd need specialist surgery and wouldn't be able to paint miniatures again. So far I've nearly completed a blood angels squad since my last check up.
AND best news in several weeks; the local independent gaming store has finally lifted its game[bad pun]; its still a little untidy but at least the mountain of pizza boxes is away and no longer blocking the main entrance :smile2:

Need to stay focused on my personal and professional goals, my business is up 20% this year, and seems to be on track for 45% by the end of 2018.  I need to keep pushing and set myself up for 2019, and ... 2020.  I've not had a goal set 3 years away before, but this time I do, and it will happen.

Time is so short, I must make every good use of it.  There will be no more dilly dallying, no more procrastination, but instead a daily motion in the direction of simplifying and accomplishing, prioritizing and achieving.  Life is short.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_seeding

The draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup took place on 1 December 2017 at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia.[1] It determined the group in which each of the 32 qualified national teams will play in at the start of the tournament. The teams were divided into four pots of eight, with one team selected from each pot to form a group.

Unlike previous editions of the World Cup, all pots were determined by each national team's October 2017 FIFA World Ranking, with Pot 1 containing the highest-ranked teams, Pot 2 containing the next highest-ranked teams, and so on; in previous editions only one pot containing the highest-ranked teams was determined by rank, with the other three pots determined by continental confederation. The hosts continued to be placed in Pot 1 and treated as a seeded team, therefore, Pot 1 consisted of hosts Russia and the seven highest-ranked teams that qualify for the tournament.

The draw sequence started with pot 1 and ended with pot 4.[2]

As with previous editions, no group had more than one team from any continental confederation with the exception of UEFA, which had at least one, but no more than two in a group.[2]

I have a 1903 copy of Schwab's Die Deutschen Volksbücher (German Folktales), which I had to repair, because the spine had come off. As usual, the backing material consists of discarded pages from another book (this already happened in the Middle Ages), and it had some verses on it. I looked them up, and they turned out to be a German translation of a work by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Now, the name did mean anything to me, and I looked him up too: he was a 19th century English novelist, poet, playwright and politician, who coined many a phrase that is still popular today, like "the great unwashed", "pursuit of the almighty dollar", and in partiuclar: "the pen is mightier than the sword."  He is is also the author of the much-parodied opening line "It was a dark and stormy night."

One game elimination.

If after 90 minutes there's no winner the game is extended by 2 x 15 minutes. If there is still no winner it goes to penalties, with each team getting 5 of them. If it's still equal after those 10, then each team keeps getting another go until at last one team has a higher score.

I spent the whole day inside trying not to melt. The AC doesn't work well, so it was 32 degrees inside and 35/37 outside.

Tried to do some painting and the heat would crack and dry the paint after a few minutes.

The cartoon for the Colombia-England matchup is just wrong.  I'm not saying England were completely innocent, but the fact that a swathe of folks think that somehow they cheated there way to victory is ludicrous.  Colombia was so chippy and dirty it was unbelievable.  If they actually played they could've won.

Pretty cool speech by Gordon sincaire in 1973. Seems like things haven’t changed to much. Or should I say I don’t really disagree with where some of today’s sentiment comes from. Both of our leaders have extremely thin skin when it comes to criticism. We should forget them and remember what our common interests are.

I got the following at the local swap meet

Tactical marines x10, Space marine captain x1, Terminator x1, Terminator inquisitor x1 AND a mixed bag of Rogue trader marine parts

Chaos sorcerer x1, Fabius Bile, Khorne berserkers x3, Plague marine x1 and CSM terminator x1

Striking scorpion exarch x1 and Jetbike x1 [I think that's what he's called, i'm not too familiar with Eldar]

Black orcs x2

Beast men x2, Dragon ogre x1, Chaos warrior x1 and 1980-something chaos dwarf

9 assorted dwarfs; some classics

Big Mek x1

Skaven jazzeal team [with a horribly warped barrel]

Mr and Mrs Von Carstein
Necromancer on horse
Necromancer on foot
Skeleton archers x10
Skeletons with hand weapons x61 [broken into two groups]
Skeleton cavalry
chariot x1
Bolt throwers x2

Elf king on dragon
Elf king on horse
Elf mages x3
Elf cavalry x7
Elf archers x29 [broken into two groups]
Elf spearmen x30 [broken into two groups]
Phoenix guard x6

Empire Jade wizard on horse x1

There were also some epic armies thrown in with the lot [not knowing much about Epic, I don't know what the specific models were] There are also several models [namely from the elf and skeleton armies] which were broken or misassembled and need to be repaired which I didn't list. Some of them also stink worse than Greasus Goldtooth's underpants and need a thorough clean but that's no big deal.
Organising it all was the most fun i'd had in ages.
How much do you think all these models and now rare and valuable special characters cost me? $80.00 AU for the lot :biggriin:

That said, I do love me the Alpha Legion. I've had a semi worked out plan to make a renegade group of alpha legion that can be used in 30k and 40k as loyalist or traitors. Have them be die hard Imperial Truthers that refuse to have anything to do with chaos, but don't like what the Imperiums become.

'Help comrades'; a land lease Lee/Grant [in Soviet colours] which too is a smouldering wreck that has red army riflemen, trying to lift an injured crewmen out

I've had them on hold for a little while ['Bail out' I came close to finishing in 2014] but I was unable to finish them as I was unsure how to go about making the smoke and decided to liberate some from a plush toy I scavenged from a charity shop. I'm over the moon about finishing them.

My next diorama is titled 'Horse power'; the crew of a bogged SDKFZ are asking a passing, mounted riflemen to give them a tow

By the gods! I am in temporary heaven. My daughter in law babysits for a couple next door. I recently met him and had to mention his Dutch accent. Then I bombarded him with my stroopwafel addiction from many years ago (1985 I beleive). He has a radio show in the Netherlands so travels frequently. Said he would be there last week and would pick up a surprise.
Well.....3 gone in as many minutes. I guess addictions never go away.

I rescued a baby today.
As I was passing a house, a distressed lady came to me and the two other passers by and asked us for help. She had locked herself out of the house and her toddler was screaming for her. I managed to pry open the laundry window wide enough for the other guy [a teen boys who's name I didn't catch] for him to stick his arm through and he managed to open the laundry door. The mother was very grateful for our assistance.

Whilst trying to add some more troops to my Relictors army; I discovered that GW has changed the shades of grey [this was funnier in my mind] since I first started the army in 2015. Oh well, not to worry. It doesn't really bother me if I have to repaint the hole army. That army needed some work anyway


Model count ? 50 ?

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Rowsdower on November 07, 2018, 01:56:40 PM
At the moment, the model count is about 55.
I decided to add some old school [and I'm talking 1990 here] miniatures I scored at the swap meet to the army as I thought what better additions to the Relictors than RELIC miniatures. 

I know lots of people disapprove of the Relictors and find their colours drab and or uninspiring but I've grown to like mine more as they've been fun to build and paint AND they've been facing off against some green-skins in an increasingly cartoony campaign

Yes it is. The only way I can get there is by lottery. So I pledge here and now, if I win, I will head north , grab Gankom, go further northwest, grab the captain, go south to lovely Vermont , wait in the rush line while GP gets his passport and then we all will head for Belgium. Grutch and Zak , Feanor and the American reps will all receive 1st class tickets to the said country as well as all Europeans who want to go.
Well.....it’s nice to dream. 😺

So today I found out my 9 y.o. ADHD son, whom many write off as too much to handle, went out of his way to befriend a 5 y.o. kid who moved from the Ukraine 2 days ago.  The kid doesn't speak English, but my son decided to teach him some basic English by playing soccer with him during lunch and after school.  No one asked, no one told, he just decided he knows what being left out felt like so wanted to help. 

Love my son very much.

I’m going to put this in the happy thread. It could have been the unhappy easily. A lot of change recently with some losses along the way. Where we moved, we were aloud  only 2 cats out of the three. My newest and favorite was on the chopping block.  We brought him in as a feral and he turned into a wonder cat. I took him to the humane society for the adoption program as he completely trusted us and those we were around. Thought he would be scooped up right away. I get a call today that he turned wild again and was headed for the gas chamber unless we took him again. Turned out he was a one family cat. He will now join me at work to become a ‘work’ cat and live at the shop as I have no other place for him. Better to live at work then be finished off. I had never planned on moving and I would have been better off to leave him wild I think.

Ontop of that; some of my work mates wanted to make a video of themselves and play it on an endless loop on the CCTV system so they could go to the pub all night. I said "I saw that in a movie; I think it was called 'The bus that couldn't slow down'"

"Here, make a hat so the saucer people cant monitor your thoughts"

AND while I'm on the subject of mind-monitoring. I made it though MST3K's gauntlet. Sadly I think Ator 1 was the 'best' of that pretty bad lot

My wife and I have noticed that since my daughter was born that women hit on me more frequently (sometimes even when my wife and child are in the same room!). I have heard similar stories from other dads too so its not an isolated incident. Its very foreign to me and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. It is flattering but what is it about a married man who has kids that single women find attractive? I get that he is apparently marriage material (he is married after all) and is good with kids but being this idealized person would mean he's unavailable correct? So why pursue the guy? Is it just wanting what you don't have? Perhaps its just my own sensibilities that if someone is married then I view them as off limits (unless otherwise specified).

I'm beginning to think that sort of thing is a biological process in women, some act on it, some don't.  If the guy is having kids, and successfully raising them, than perhaps he's available to procreate with them as well.  Their genes want your genes, a deep physiological desire moving forward.

This is our 3rd cat. Was feral, took 6 months to get to trust us. Became the most loving cat in the world. We moved, could only take 2 cats and so betrayed this hard earned trusting cat to the humane society for adoption. Didn’t think it would take long and in 2 weeks they called. I expected the first refusal of adoption but was told he wasn’t getting along with anyone and was booked for the gas chamber in 2 days. Quick thinking on my wife’s part and we took him back to become the ‘shop’ cat at work. Now lives in my workshop till we get a home where he can join us.  Humane society did a favour and neutered him, microchipped him and vaccinated him for $30 bucks because we were taking him back. His name is Stanley.

Oh my, send me your address, and I'll send coffee for Christmas!  At this late hour, it might not arrive until after the fact. :icon_lol:

As for a North American WFB Bash, we had the WFB New England Bash at least twice, maybe 3 years, in a row at one point.  The first had a lone game of WFB, and a 4 player Mordheim game going, 6 attendees in total.  The 2nd, (we might have done this twice, my recollection is foggy) featured 8 or 9 players, one even came up from New Jersey, 5 from Maine, featured a round robin 3 round tourney in a hobby shop in Attleboro Massachusetts.  Fun times!

Maybe we can plan something for 2020? Maybe.  Too much happening in 2019 for me at the moment.

However, I might be at Cold Wars, Historicon, or Fall-In this year.  And definitely will be at Huzzah! 2019 in Maine, probably GMing a 3 round Lion Rampant, maybe an Astounding Tales scenario or something.

I'm a pretty tried and true denizen of the internet. I spend a lot of time on the net. My absolutely favorite websites, that I spend an unhealthy amount of time on, is W-E and AskHistorians on reddit. A couple of months ago on AskHistorians I took it upon myself to clean up and look after the Sunday Digest. Kind of like a round up of the best questions/answers of the past week. Things kind of spiraled out, and as of Friday I was invited to be a moderator on the subreddit of almost 900,000 subscribers.

I'm pretty excited to not only be recognized in a community I love, but also have a chance to really contribute to it. (Especially considering I'm not a Historian so no one will be Asking me anything.)

In regards to the Cain and Jurgen, I have some good news for you. I know who does Jurgen, and I suspect they did Cain to although I didn't see him on the website. But they also do the Colonel and Major to!

Upon re-reading Outlander, I noticed something. Its about a man who leaves his militaristic force and goes to the wilderness and lives with the natives. It reminds me of a Kevin Costner movie from the early 90's. Maybe Darkhorse should have retitled it 'Dances with Banthas'

The Outlander I know is about a WW2 Brit Army nurse named Claire married to an MI6 guy named Frank who's also a historian.  Claire gets is transported back in time to 1743 and into the world of Jacobite Scotland where she marries a clansman warrior named Jamie and has to fend off the advances of a Brit army officer who is the ancestor of Frank.  It is an adaption of a book by Diana Gabaldon.

I've only seen the first season.  Three more seasons to go, if I recall.

My understanding is it includes some history upcoming of the Jacobite War in 1743.  Eventually Claire and Jamie end up going to the New World.

They were discussing it at the writers conference this past summer and the premise sounds like a trashy romance novel but it could be because it sounds like a fanfic/female romantic fantasy. I have heard the shows has quite the following.

Careful, Outlander is a serious cult, with fanatics.  My wife is a card carrying member.  My life goals center around occasionally being favourably compared to Jaime.  This has its own set of rewards.

It has a strong appeal to "women of a particular age".

TV series is pretty good, but the books are amazing I will admit.  The initial assumption is "yeah Harlequin romance", but no, it definitely is not.  Writer is no slouch, and this isn't some bodice-ripper trash.  That said, there are some scenes that are.. well I will let you read them yourselves.

No coincidence G.R.R. Martin and D.Gabaldon are such good friends.

I like to postulate a theory that the longer a sitcom runs the more likely the main cast of characters turn into horrible people. Friends, Seinfeld (they were on the nose about it in their finale) HIMYM, TBBT, Family Guy, and I am sure there are other examples.

Upon re-reading Boba Fett; enemy of the empire, the plot seemed to be a mesh of Treasure of the Sierra Madre and The telltale heart.
I think whoever wrote that one may have played Imperial guard as the Imperial Lightning Battalion which features in that story wear uniforms not too disimmilar to the old, metal Cadians and one of its senior officers [who is also one of the main antagonists in that story] has a bionic eye like Yarrick.
I had also completely forgotten about the order of pessimist monks who prominently feature. You have to be borderline suicidal to join them.

My buddy is getting married in the summer and he's asked me to be best man! Woo hoo!

(Also low key panic begins to set in as the planning starts.)
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Dihenydd on March 25, 2019, 09:38:40 PM
Pffft.  Best Man is easy.  I've done a few. 

Plan a party that is full of the things your buddy really enjoys.  Invite every dude he says he want to be there and a few who are "required" (ie brother in law).  Then enjoy yourself.  Avoid the temptation to be a dick and make it a bad experience.  Make it fun. So many ideas out there for this beyond "lets get hammered".  Everyone takes their cues from you, so literally, just focus on really-fun-stuff.

Don't lose the ring.

Day of wedding - bring gum, breath freshener, pit-stick and a whiskey flask for when you are doing the 30 min wait at the venue before the ceremony.  I brought balsa-wood planes once - big hit.  Kleenex recommended too.  Show off how prepared and mature you are for really, 10 min of shopping.

Write a 10 min (max!) speech full of inside jokes ending with a toast as to how beautiful the bride looks.  Shorter is better, be witty, suggest he's a special guy based on your friendship.  Make vague suggestions of edgy adventures but no details.  Get someone to ghost write this if it scares you.  No one remembers what you said a month from now, but they will remember your personality, so be cool.

Give some "aw shucks, happy to do it" smiles when they give a gift for helping out.

Dance with the Maid of Honour at least once.  If you are single, flirt a lot.  If not, flirt just a little and then dance with your partner.  They will be proud of you.

Relax and have a good time at reception.  Run interference for anyone wanting to be a dick.  Carry stuff when asked.  Can delegate to groomsmen and/or ushers who are mostly just lazy bastards.  You may be asked to give cheques to people at the reception.  Remember flirting with the Maid of Honour?  This is so she will help you with this when you are too drunk to remember because she likes you.  You are a good guy.

Make sure tuxedo's and stuff get back afterwards.  Show up, maybe, to gift opening if there is one.  Listen to everyone praise how you did such an awesome job.  If single, smile at the maid-of-honour who did 100x more work than you, and compliment her.  Wink at the bridesmaids so everyone wonders why.

It really isn't a lot of stuff.  Small prep, then just go where you are told to go and have fun doing it.  Your job primarily is to make sure everyone is having a good time.  You are literally the "King of Fun" at a wedding. You will be great.

You really don't have input into anything else, nor will you be asked to.  Best Man is the simplest way to be the coolest guy in the room for least amount of real effort.  Dream gig.

The last time I role played it was on line here at W-E.  It was set in an animal world, and I was so disappointed that it abruptly ended.  I could see myself participating again at some point.

I haven't table top role played in years and years, think not since I was in college.  I've got nephews that have taken it up, and are having fun, and I've considered jumping back in with some GMing for them, yet we'll see.

^ According to Ciaphus Cain; sisters of battle are not celibate. They just find it hard to pursue relationships due to their work schedules. That and the fact they are a mob of emperor bothering fanatics probably also makes it difficult to get along with them

GW has come out and said the same. You're more likely to date the nurse/doctor equivalent than a battle sister due to combat casualties. I think they're called hospitallars? Yeah, most people think they are celibate for some reason. I read that Cain passage too, forget which book it was in. I equate it to dating the fundamental christian girls I've met in college and are often spoofed in movies and tv shows.

Nice images, and I still hope that guards could be played without soo many big models.

What do you guys think if we split the thread between the happy and random thoughts of personal stuff, and another for memes?  We all enjoy a laugh or two, but I think we are losing the personal touch. I used to come to this thread to see updates of the people.

Sitting on the deck and overheard my younger son having a conversation with a boy 2 years younger than him.  Family is good friends of ours and their boy is looking to be taking same med's starting next week that my boy has been on since Jan.  (After much consultation)

My son was just describing how his meds were helping him cope. Said he has been very happy to be on them as he has a better idea of what's going on around him, which allows him to play better and be a better friend to his classmates.  Also, how he can follow his teacher's and soccer coaches instructions so he is better at school and sports now.  He did say it makes it harder to fall asleep, but that means he stays up later (laughter).  Was very clear that he is happy and was re-assuring the other boy that he wishes he was able to start on them at the same age so he wouldn't have had the troubles earlier (there were many).  Kept saying "don't worry, its all good".

My boy turns 10 in 2 week.  This was not solicited by any of the adults, I don't think they even knew we could hear them.  I was almost in tears listening to this.  My friend was also.  Proud dad.

As I was about to pay once in the AAFES, I had a 2-dollar bill in my hand. The guy behind me noticed and asked: "Is that a 2-dollar bill? Would you mind exchanging it for two 1-dollar bills?" Since I would have paid with it in any case, I obliged him.  Apparently, they are quite rare.

Today my heart almost burst (emotionally, not physically). It was the school sports day, and after half an hour watching a variety of races, finally Thomas was up on the line to do his first race. Apparently, they missed his name during the first bout of races, so he was desperate to race by that time! He is such a good-natured soul, however, he had not even noticed everyone else was now doing their second race.

It was the skipping with a rope race, which I thought was strange because I have never seen Thomas do so. He picked up the rope in a very odd manner, then started looking around to watch the other children. Correcting his hold on the rope he took a tentative skip - in reverse (!) - sending it over his head backwards, then he stepped backwards through it, then lifted up in front of him and flipped it back over the wrong way again. In that instant it dawned on me what must have happened.

The children had chosen what races they wanted to compete in. This meant Thomas had chosen skipping and I knew exactly why.

For years, and until very recently when he began cycling to school, Thomas had skipped to school. You know the sort of skip I mean, like Morecambe and Wise at the end of their shows. (Sorry, I can't think of an American or European way to describe it - the best I can do is say skipping as in kind of running and jumping at the same time.) I had praised his skipping so much over the years, because I thought it was utterly delightful that he was so filled with joy he skipped to and from school. I told him several times he was a champion skipper - the best I had ever seen. Thomas, James and myself even did skipping races in which he proved his prowess. He was entirely happy to show off his skipping skills to anyone when I told them how good he was.

That's the race he had, in his own mind, signed up for. He had no idea a rope was involved.

He lost the race. Came last out of 12 by a long way. A lovely teacher came skip-roping out to him half way to accompany his chaotic progress down the field, and told him at the end he was a champion because he never gives up trying.

On collecting him at the end of the day I asked him about the skipping race. He said, cheerful as ever, without the slightest hint of confusion, or upset or bitterness, "I thought it was skipping, daddy, not that sort of skipping."

My heart is straining now with love for him.

(I have to mention his second race also. His best friend is the smallest boy in the class, very small. The race was one where the children run in pairs, hands joined in a peculiar manner behind their backs, so Thomas and his best friend ran together. Once again, inevitably, Thomas was last throughout, and finished last. Indeed I was afraid for his little friend, as they struggled to match pace. Thomas's head was looking all around as they ran, as if he couldn't understand why no-one else was near him and his little friend. The two of them still skipped back like conquering heroes.)

I find book cover art, but the artist obviously hasn't read the book, just fascinating.

For example, below are book cover art for Black Colossus by Robert E Howard but these scenes never happen in the book and there are no man-apes, harpies or great apes in it.

Like where did they get this stuff? *insert generic judge a book by its cover title joke*

The book is about 2 armies fighting and the bad guy is an evil sorcerer.

I am sure there are other examples, but this is just a recent one I've come across.

Listening to CBC radio this morning. They have entertainers showcase their own musical tastes and this cake from an opera singer. Can’t remember her name at the moment.

Sometimes when my wife drives around and I'm in the passenger seat I'll see a sign for a place and make up shit about the place like "Vienna, home of the whopper"

One time we were passing, I want to say Fairfax Va, and I said something along the lines of "Welcome to Fairfax, home of the Chilly dogs. They were a peewee hockey team that made it all the way to nations last year but lost in the semifinals. They had an awesome parade in their honor down main street." My wife asked me "really?" thinking it was a great piece of local trivia. To which I replied "nah." Made the whole thing up on the fly but then it got me thinking of how cool of a concept it was to have a hockey team called the "Chilly Dogs" and how its a crime that its not really a thing. I did find a chili dogs team but its not punny enough.

That's a good channel. To me, channels made by historians are one of the best things, academic thought and analysis made mainstream.

Jackson Crawford's channel on Norse myth and literature is also very good. In depth, very thoughtful and no-nonsense, it will make you wiser.

CNN Uncovers Evidence Hero Dog Sniffed Dozens Of Butts Back In College

(https://babylonbee.com/img/articles/article-5036-2.jpg)

U.S.—Everyone praised the classified "Hero Dog" for taking down ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Everyone, that is, except CNN, who quickly searched through the dog's internet history and college yearbooks. Sure enough, CNN found a picture of the Hero Dog partying at obedience school. In the picture, the dog is seen sniffing a butt without consent.

"Oh yeah, good old [redacted]? He was nuts!" said one German Shepherd who attended Old Yaler Obedience School with the hero dog, according to a CNN report. "He was always sniffing any butt he could find. Cats, dogs, humans, you name it. He didn't have a preference. He identified as pansniffual."

Troubling reports from classmates indicate that the dog sniffed all these butts without consent. The dog wrote cryptic things in his college yearbook, apparently referring to different butt-sniffing maneuvers such as the Surprise Sniffarooski and the Canine's Triangle.

The dog has issued a statement: "I like butts. I've always liked butts. I still like butts, but I never sniff butts to the point of excess. Who's a good boy? I am."

Democrats immediately called for the dog to be court-martialed and for the death of Baghdadi to be overturned.

Well this one we were suppose to wear black and orange, no costumes, although some of them did seem close to along those lines anyway.

There's a costume milonga coming up, although not sure I'll attend.  We'll see.

Performances for the show before the dance were wonderful.  Dancing was wicked crowded for the first half of the night, then it opened up and got better as a result.  Bought new tango shoes from a vendor, I'm psyched at that.  Didn't have my size in my first choice, but next best thing was on sale, so bingo!

Hip surgery? Yipes! I have a cop friend who just had both done over last year. Much better now, think him and wife will be over for brunch this weekend. He could hardly walk and was on some pretty powerful painkillers. Did him a world of good.

Just popping in to say that I'm glad to be back, missed this community, and wish I'd behaved better back in the day. I've become a lot more politically moderate, tolerant of opposing viewpoints, and stopped rebelling against God.  :::cheers:::

We just opened it last night. Was the topping on a homemade lasagna. We won’t discuss were 3/4 of the lasagna went and I’ll deny it anyways.
Very sharp cheddar and incredibly tasty. Must let it warm to room temperature for full effect 😺

I appreciate I'm being grumpy, but I'd still rather keep the political memes to the political section. I have a lot of problems with the current school system, but you don't see me talking about them in the Happy and Random thoughts thread.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Fidelis von Sigmaringen on November 24, 2019, 11:08:31 PM
Granted: depending on that perspective, it is more appropriate for the Unhappy and Random Thoughts. On reflection, I have to concede that posting it here was far too positive, favouring the ridiculous aspect of this issue over it sad reality.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gankom on November 24, 2019, 11:10:45 PM
Regardless to it's sadness or happiness perspective, I'd much rather you keep it to the political section myself. Your generally not seeing people post trump memes, or whatever left wing memes are popular these days in either.

You know, weirdly, if I wanted to have that discussion I'd likely have it in the Back Table. The place meant for political discussion. Not in the happy memes section, or even the sad news thread in the general hobby board section.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gankom on November 24, 2019, 11:30:27 PM
It still would have bugged me comment or not in here, because the whole point of it is a shot at your political opponent. I was also bothered by the Epstein/Clinton or Greta ones, but generally not enough to comment. I just don't think they're needed in here when there's plenty of political discussion to be had elsewhere. Not to mention how often this board blows up about politics, and the problems with pushing politics everywhere.

Edit: I would have been equally annoyed at anyone posting 'Trump's an idiot" or any other memes tacking cracks at the republicans. Or Brexit stuff, or any of the other host of political issues going on in the world.

But I do find it odd that for someone who complains about other people pushing politics into places they don't belong, that you'd feel so strongly when people ask you to stop posting politics somewhere they don't think it belongs.

Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Gankom on November 24, 2019, 11:38:23 PM
Or perhaps I was merely hoping you'd stop, instead of continuing? I figure it was more of a cumulative thing. Its easy to ignore someone posting one political thing, annoying at 2, but by 10? Now its much easier to be annoyed enough to say things.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: GamesPoet on November 25, 2019, 12:25:20 AM
I agree, it has become cumulative, easily overlooked initially, hoping it was a mistake, yet time to mention something accordingly.  Thsi is the Count's Tavern area, not the Back Table.

Let's keep this thread happy.


No more posting of controversial stuff please. Just things that make you happy.
But no nudity either. Even if that would make some of us happy.
If you want a funny thread, start one. If you want controversial stuff in it, take it to the back table.
And stop bickering in here.


Or feel my wart wrath.

Well, I am shipping up to Boston. My wife just got a new job in Cambridge and so we'll be moving up there.  My wife and I flew up there this past weekend and went house hunting with a realtor. We found a house and put an offer on it. Now comes all the real estate and moving bullshit we have to wade through to get there. I just gave my boss my two weeks notice. We have until March 15 to vacate our current place. So many things are moving fast.

While in Arlington MA we went to this gastro-pub and board game place called Adventure Pub. There were a group of guys playing 30K and I talked with them for a bit. Looks like after the move I could potentially pick up the hobby and gaming again.

Sometimes Reddit will send me random suggestions based off my searches/subscriptions. Well one of which is "Today I Learned" and the subject was rather interesting:

"In 1714, a Norwegian captain (Peter Tordenskjold) and an English captain had a 14-hour long ship fight. Afterwards, both ships were badly damaged and the Norwegian captain was running out of ammo. He sent an envoy to the English ship, asking if he could borrow some of their ammo. His request was denied, and the captains drank to each other's health, before the ships dispersed"

Well, I just learned about that today.

Ok! Great day has arrived. Last year about now a female snowy owl worked its way south for the winter. Stayed till mid March and returned north. Today she returned (a female with a lot of brown spots) that we named Celest. It perches on a Walmart light standard from about 4:30 pm till I’m not sure when. A lot of it’s hunting grounds - the back side of Walmart - has been turned into homes so that may make her change her location. In the mornings - about 6:30-7:30 am - she is on a fence post down the road. As we go for groceries almost every day, we make a stop going home to check in. I can get out of the car at the base of the light and she doesn’t spook. Just looks regal. Now I have to get a proper camera as the phone one is a joke. The first shot is from last year. The second about 20 mins ago. Detail is deplorable.

I got to have my first fantasy battles game since I moved in 2017. Nurgle beastmen vs Chaos undivided. After several turns of beating the living daylights out if each other, the beastmen won by a very slim margin.
The man of the match on the undivided side was the general; he hacked through several gors
The man of the match on the nurgle side was defiantly the Shaggoth. I'm thinking of renaming him with some tacky baseball pun. He was smacking chaos warriors into orbit.
[sigh] My work schedule is so busy I don't know when I'll get to follow this one up

I've been looking on and off for awhile. Found two good possibilities in the last week, put in for one, took a few days, but haven't officially closed yet, so we'll see how that all goes.  Offer to me was made, going to view the place a second time, and receive lease and review it.  If it doesn't, then will put in for the other.

Seems like San Fran's defense tired out towards the end, and that enabled K.C.'s offense to make another comeback victory.  It wasn't bad to watch, despite my disappointment in seeing San ran not win.  As usual, I didn't pay much attention to the commercials, although the Ground Hog Day one with Bill Murray was fun to watch.  Half time show, well what can one say when it was all about dancing provocatively, and the music seemed less than others.

You wouldn't believe what my oldest did today. She is turning 2 in a couple of weeks so I took her to the doctors for her 2 year check up. Now usually mommy does this and daddy may tag along and everything goes smoothly and she cooperates, but today it was just daddy and she was have NONE of it with the staff. She had a poopy diaper so I tried changing it but she was cry and screaming "no" and flailing, trying to get away (I think she was terrified of the doctor's examination bed I was changing her on, like she was going to fall or something). After changing her diaper she wanted her shoes on but no pants. We go to get her weight and height measured. She was too afraid to get the height taken, even after the nurses and I demonstrated that it doesn't hurt, so we had to force her to do a lay down one. She fought and screamed the whole time. Same with checking her head circumference. She even smacked one of the nurses in the face! When the doctor came, her attitude did not change and I had to restrain her so he can check her ears. After talking with him and he left, I sat her in a chair. I knelt down to eye level. Looked straight in her eyes and asked "Hey, whats wrong? Why are you acting like this?" She looked away for a moment, and then looked me straight in the eye and said "long day." YOU ARE NOT EVEN TWO YEARS OLD! How the hell are you having a long day?! How did she know those words let alone as a response, an earnest response, to my question? Is she that self aware at that age to take out her long day on other people and own up to it? WTF?

The rest of the day she was fine. Just, wow! Sassy diva over here.

Post by: GamesPoet on February 19, 2020, 08:05:12 AM
Ha! Sounds like ya got a smart one there.

And I'm with her regarding those old fashioned scales for measuring weight, keep them the frick away from me.  They wobble when ya step on them, and they show me how much I need to lose.  She gives me an idea though, I go into my doctor appointment by myself, and maybe if I whine enough they won't make me step on the scale again? They better not try to hold ME down!  Then again, maybe I can cut a deal with the nurse by agreeing to step on the scale if she'll go on a date with me? Nah, that probably won't work.

I bumped into an old teacher who mocked me for working in the hospitality industry. I DONT CARE what that two-faced twerps thinks of me. I'm have a house, a car and a job. Which were things I didn't have when I was under his tutelage.

On the one hand, I should think few pupils would own a house, car and a job at that age. On the other hand, there is absolutely nothing wrong with working  in the hospitality industry. Some people look down on garbage collectors, byt they are fulfilling a very useful and necessary job, as anyone will soon find out, when there is a longer strike. Perhaps he had other hopes for you.

I may be losing what little faculties I ever had. On Thursday this week it was pub quiz night, and I was in a team of 3. The theme was that every answer was a single word beginning with the letter 'V'. (It has taken Gaz Mac, our 'quizmaster general', a good many quizes to get to this point. He's very worried about the night we get to the letter 'x').

Half-way through Gaz told us there would be two classical music questions, concerning composers, and proceeded to play the first bit of music. My two companions, both very competent car mechanics, foolishly believing me to know about such things, turned to me for an answer. Feeling important, I told them it was one of two composers, either Vivaldi or Vermicelli. I then glumly predicted that whichever way around we put the answers I was pretty sure they would be the wrong way around.

The truth, as I am sure you have all guessed, was much, much worse. Vivaldi was one of them, but we did put that answer down in the wrong one of the two possible spots. The other answer, however, turned out to be Verde. I said "Sorry boys, I got muddled up. Vermicelli must be a painter." I then asked the much more professional quizzing team next to us if Vermicelli was a painter. They looked really confused, maybe wondering what the joke was. Then one of them told us that it was a kind of pasta. I suddenly felt like I was in the famous (to some English people, so maybe not that famous) episode of Pheonix Nights!

My only salvation was that when I was in the process of telling Gaz the story later, I asked him who Vermicelli was and he said, "Was he a painter?"

Later that night I suddenly realised what had happened in my beer-addled head - I had combined Botticelli and Verdi to create a tasty pasta dish!

There's actually a really bad housing crisis in my country at the moment. Most people my age are renting as they cant afford to buy. Rent alone in Sydney is so astronomical, people are moving back in with their parents.
Three of my former teachers are now living near my dad. They do nothing but mock him whenever they pass him yet the three of them have no common sense. One of them reversed his caravan into his garage door and another let salt water fester in his boat engine

Fabulous - I assure you that sort of 'senior moment' may be the first of many.
Ironic that when you are old enough to easily know who Botticelli and Verde are, your ancient grey matter mixes them up.  :engel:

I was at a quiz on Friday night where the answers in a round of 10 questions were all numbers totalling 999
After 9 answers we were left with the number 477 as the periodic table number for iron.   :biggriin:

Of course it would have helped if I had remembered that a 'monkey' was not £50 but £500.  :icon_redface:

That was a funny story. I think Vermicelli would make a great cook/composer miniature in Tilea that came up with a pasta dish that makes the army march longer and a tune that makes them march quicker.
This figure could also appear in the new empire miniature contest with stats of his own hero status. 😺

Funnily enough I have a plague doctor's mask and hood (and all the rest of the costume, including leather gauntlets, boots and brimmed hat), a 3 foot red 'wand' and a plague bell made exactly like a 1665 one in a museum. Missed my chance to go out with it all on though as now the joke would be in too bad taste!

What are the chances of knowing anyone out of the 6 billion peeps in the world who owns a 16th century plague suit? Who I say?

Answer : Padre

Of course. Why ask the question to begin with. I withdraw the question and just accept. 😺

'Climate change alarmists'. I suppose they're like 'Don't step into the middle of a busy road alarmists'? Imagine it, if you can? People actually warning others of a dangerous situation. Madness.

Padre ... ya might have missed the point of that cartoon he posted.  Not that your point is incorrect, it is just that the point above was about how folks are switching there center of attention onto something other than climate change.  It isn't that climate change alarmists are incorrect, it is just that the human condition is focusing us in on getting through the immediate crisis.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Padre on April 02, 2020, 12:07:35 PM
Not so sure about your interpretation GP. I read it as saying that the 'climate change alarmists' are annoyed that something else other than their pet concern has got other people's attention.

Since moving to Massachusetts, we've encountered a lot of wildlife in our yard. The second or third night here I could hear owls just outside the house. One was on one side of the house, and another on the other side. They were talking to each other. I checked out what kind of owls they were, and based on the hooting of the owls in the area, it matches the great horned owl.

There are also rabbits. Not only did I see one outside the living room window one night, but I have found their droppings in the yard.

This morning I saw a fox trot across the street. When I looked in my neighbors backyard, following the path of the fox, hoping to see it again; I saw a rabbit, cotton tail up and in flight, dart across the yard and hide under the neighbor's house. The fox trotted on by, looking for it but the rabbit hid well and it went into the woods behind my yard.

My wife has seen a full flock of turkeys (12-13) waddling around in the morning just down the street on her way to work (this was shortly before COVID-19 started locking down the state). I too have seen them waddling in yards or crossing the street in the morning in groups of 2 or 3.

Our second week in our new house there was 7 deer in the backyard. I took my oldest onto the deck so she could watch. She thought they were big dogs and kept saying "Hello woof woof" over and over again. This spooked them and they cautiously retreated in the woods. Watching us from afar as they left in an orderly fashion.

On another day, feeling cabin fever-ish, I took both girls outside. The oldest was walking around, while I had the youngest strapped to my chest. we were hanging out by the side of the house with the water and power meters, when I turned around and saw what I thought was a squirrel facing me. I took a couple of steps towards it (it was about 40-yards away) to see if I could get closer, but instead of turning tale and running, it sucked its head back into the ground. It was at that point I realized it was no squirrel, but a gopher! I walked over and sure enough it was a hole. I talked with one of the neighbors today, trying to see what they do to keep the animals off their lawns, and she said gophers are not known to be around here and it was probably a vole or a woodchuck. Looking them up and the vole seems too small for what I saw (it was just a head) and the woodchuck seems too big. So who knows what it is.

There has also been a fairly large flock of seagulls circling the street since we moved in. About 30-40 seagulls in total, just a big dense circle above our street. Not sure why.

Based on the neighborhood app we have installed, there is a pig farm between our town and the town next to us. Depending on which way the wind blows, sometimes just walking outside smells like a farm...or sewage. Apparently when the wind blows the opposite direction, the other town gets to "enjoy" the smell too. This has caused both towns to complain but as far as I can tell nothing can be done since its private property. Its going to be fun going outside in the summer, depending on which way the wind blows...

There are also rabbits. Not only did I see one outside the living room window one night, but I have found their droppings in the yard.

This morning I saw a fox trot across the street. When I looked in my neighbors backyard, following the path of the fox, hoping to see it again; I saw a rabbit, cotton tail up and in flight, dart across the yard and hide under the neighbor's house. The fox trotted on by, looking for it but the rabbit hid well and it went into the woods behind my yard.

My wife has seen a full flock of turkeys (12-13) waddling around in the morning just down the street on her way to work (this was shortly before COVID-19 started locking down the state). I too have seen them waddling in yards or crossing the street in the morning in groups of 2 or 3.

Our second week in our new house there was 7 deer in the backyard. I took my oldest onto the deck so she could watch. She thought they were big dogs and kept saying "Hello woof woof" over and over again. This spooked them and they cautiously retreated in the woods. Watching us from afar as they left in an orderly fashion.

On another day, feeling cabin fever-ish, I took both girls outside. The oldest was walking around, while I had the youngest strapped to my chest. we were hanging out by the side of the house with the water and power meters, when I turned around and saw what I thought was a squirrel facing me. I took a couple of steps towards it (it was about 40-yards away) to see if I could get closer, but instead of turning tale and running, it sucked its head back into the ground. It was at that point I realized it was no squirrel, but a gopher! I walked over and sure enough it was a hole. I talked with one of the neighbors today, trying to see what they do to keep the animals off their lawns, and she said gophers are not known to be around here and it was probably a vole or a woodchuck. Looking them up and the vole seems too small for what I saw (it was just a head) and the woodchuck seems too big. So who knows what it is.

There has also been a fairly large flock of seagulls circling the street since we moved in. About 30-40 seagulls in total, just a big dense circle above our street. Not sure why.

Based on the neighborhood app we have installed, there is a pig farm between our town and the town next to us. Depending on which way the wind blows, sometimes just walking outside smells like a farm...or sewage. Apparently when the wind blows the opposite direction, the other town gets to "enjoy" the smell too. This has caused both towns to complain but as far as I can tell nothing can be done since its private property. Its going to be fun going outside in the summer, depending on which way the wind blows...

I said in the unhappy thread that I was missing a number of models. That was true as well as the fact that when I was telling my son about the loss, he looked at me and said ‘you mean the ones you gave to me for a dnd game’ he was playing a year ago.
Yes, those are the ones. Goddamned looney having a true senior moment !

One of the neighbors on the neighborhood app sighted a beaver crossing a parking lot not too far away. Another reported seeing bears walking down one of the mains streets.

The UK has goats taking over and we have beavers and bears moving in now that humans are not around to scare them away.

Ha! I thought these were long gone (probably ok if they were). I was 15 (‘79) and this was as close to riding these I ever got. My cousin and his dad were Harley fans forever but I was hooked on that triumph ‘68 650. My other cousin painted the tank emblem. I could have had this rigid frame MF’er for $3K at the time. May as well been $3 million. These pics are for Grutch as he is a Harley fan. That was a new 80 cubic inch ‘77 1200 cc low rider. That was beyond even dreaming about.
Disregard that bastard ginger on the bikes. I don’t know who he was (😺)

Just remembered. That wasn’t an 80 cubic in motor. He got a new 1980 or 81 with the first 80” type a little later.

Since we don't know if its a gopher, a vole, or a woodchuck, we have started referring to it as "The Beast." My wife has seen the beast almost once a day in our neighbors yard. She agrees with me that its too small to be a woodchuck and too big to be a vole. We're pretty sure its a gopher, even though the neighbors say there are none in the area.

"The Last Starfighter" is campy for sure. The premise is a kid with no future gets a high score on the "Starfighter" arcade game at his trailer park. Then a limo shows up and picks him up. The limo turns into a spaceship and takes him to the fleet. The guy that picked him up reveals the arcade game was a recruitment tool to find decent pilots. He refuses to fight in a war (especially after seeing the big bad guy execute a dude on livestream). So as he's waiting to go home, the other fighters are scrambled to fight...and they all die. So its up to our protagonist as the "Last Starfighter" to save the day. While absent from the trailer park they replace the protagonist with a clone hoping no one would notice...but they do. Its a campy fun 80s power fantasy. Worth watching while folding laundry on a Sunday afternoon.

I finally saw The Beast. It is absolutely NOT a woodchuck, groundhog, etc. Its a motherfucking Weasel!!! More specifically a Fisher which are the second largest of the weasel family behind the otter. Here is a picture courtesy of google:

If it is a Fisher cat, that is a bit south for one to appear.  Not that it couldn't, but they are more known to be in northern New England and across a good bit of Canada.  These carnivorous creatures prefer forest areas where there is plenty of overhead cover. They eat rabbits, porcupines, insects, berries,mushrooms, and nuts, while there is also evidence of eating birds, small animals, and deer, the latter pointing to eating carrion, and turkeys, bob cat, and lynx.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on April 19, 2020, 02:19:07 PM
Well we've seen a lot of rabbits in the area, which may explain the fox, owls, and the fisher. Turkeys have also been seen as I previously mentioned. So there's a food source. There are woods behind my house, so there is a place with overhead cover. We only see him when he emerges in the yard. But it was without a doubt a fisher. Based on the appearance, walk/gait, size that I witnessed I am 100% certain its what I saw.
 :smile2:

Now it is quite possible that the beast is not the fisher but we just so happen to see a fisher, but a woodchuck seems too fat for the hole in my yard; so I am more inclined to believe the beast is a fisher and not a woodchuck/groundhog that also just so happens to live in my backyard.

More info on the fisher:

Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on April 19, 2020, 05:00:47 PM
Reading more from that site:

Quote
In the 1950s logging companies, with permission from each state, reintroduced fishers into northern New England to control porcupines. At the time, porcupines were decimating seedlings planted by the timber companies to reestablish trees in logged areas. Fisher is the only species to deliberately target porcupines as prey.

In the east they are now found in southern Canada, New England and New York, and in scattered locations in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. They may be potentially found in practically every community in Massachusetts.

Sounds like after they were reintroduced to keep down the porcupines, but now they can found anywhere in Mass. As long as you're in the burbs or rural area GP you may have one in the neighborhood and not know it.

Quote
Fishers are secretive and elusive creatures. They keep their distance from humans and do not den under buildings. That being said, fisher sightings have increased significantly since 2000, which may cause concern among homeowners and cat owners.
Considering their elusive nature they may be hard to find (rather than a scarce population). If it wasn't for finding the hole in my yard we probably would not have been on the look out for it. Also, yeah good thing we don't have a cat. The one I saw looked like it could outclass anything smaller than a Maine Coon. A Maine Coon may have had quite the fight though.

So now the question is: what do we do with it.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: GamesPoet on April 19, 2020, 05:40:33 PM
Is there a concern? No knowledge of it attacking humans. I'd let it be. They only live 6 to 8 years.

Post by: Gankom on April 19, 2020, 06:01:22 PM
Fishers are awesome, and quite good for most environments. They're really only a danger it smaller outdoor pets (Cats can have issues, but the real problem is anyone keeping rabbits or chickens.)

You could likely let Animal Control know. Or Fish and Wildlife. They'd know the area enough to know if it needs to be relocated, or not an issue.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on April 19, 2020, 07:26:45 PM
The only concern I have is it digging up the yard. Seeing as rabbits are eating up and pooping all over the place, having a fisher nearby to help reduce the population is good. I don't think it would attack my kids but then again I am no expert.

I don't think I've ever heard of a Fisher attacking kids, or even dogs. They tend to focus on fish, voles, small birds, etc. It's a real boon to keeping down the rabbit and squirrel population. Like most weasels its really skittish so tends to avoid humans as much as it can, and clever enough to keep away from anything that might cause problems.
Title: Re: Happy and Random Thoughts!
Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on April 21, 2020, 05:01:26 PM
I know. I am just worried it might think my kids are cats or some kind of prey and go after them. Its probably fine. My wife, however, has heard coyotes last night in the woods behind us. They are probably more of a worry. She also heard turkeys the other morning and last night. So much wild life.

I have some spray that should deter rabbits and deer, but I need a dry period outside to put down the spray. Unfortunately its been either raining or snowing and I haven't been able to put the spray down. I saw some rabbits yesterday as I went to pick up a target order, not to mention the droppings in my yard. Just want to keep the yard clean of it since my kids are stomping around back there.

I have only seen the first 2 films of the new trilogy, but needless to say, those two (amongst many other things) were absolutely pathetic ...

The final one was abysmal. Instead of going in a new direction (which the middle movie tried to set up), they just try to retcon what happened in the previous films to bring it back to the original formula in a very shitty way.

In other news, this is a very old joke I often reference but nobody gets it so I am posting it here:

7 x 13 = 28

I hate to jump on the hatred bandwagon. But I've been selling off all my star wars stuff [I used to idolise star wars the same way Bart Simpson idolises Krusty the clown]
There is a higher demand for the cantina aliens and Jabba's henchmen than there is for the Disney era stuff.

So I have seen more animals in my yard including a woodchuck, hawks, and turkeys! There were 5 out front about a week ago. I only saw 3 and as I was snapping pictures I noticed movement and there were 2 in my driveway! They gave me a start but I was able to get this picture as they hurried to the street. There was also a male fanning out his feathers when a jogger went by. I couldn't get a good shot though. We also saw some really close up outside of a Target. Those pictures are on my wife's phone.  I was also awoken by a female turkey gobbling outside my window the other day. My wife was up and working and went outside to see and scared it away. Also we just got a Neighborhood alert from the neighborhood app that there's a monkey loose in our town and was last seen near main street. So thats a thing.

My wife took the next few days off so today we drove to Gloucester so we could see the sea. We found a nice little spot to park (turned out it was a private beach but we didn't know until we were on the beach). The salt in the sea air was great and it made me want seafood, specifically mussels. Oddly enough we found a discarded mussel shell on the beach a few moments after I said as much to my wife.

I don't know if it's been posted before, but I'm a big fan of this blog called A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry. The author is a historian who often writes about Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones and how it compares to real military history. He's currently in the middle of a series looking at the Battle of Helms Deep, the logistics behind it and how the two forces compare to real world historical militaries. They're a great read, especially the previous one looking at the Battle of Pelennor Fields.

I agree, you also get to see the locals they are fighting. Granted its dark and gritty so its hard to see, but at least it isn't just "shooting in the distance." Plus you kind of see why it wasn't working out with Han and the flight academy. He is using logic and taking initiative but they just want him to follow orders like an automaton. Plus they mention the Z95 "Headhunters" which the rebellion used before they got their hands on the x-wing. Just so much in 5 minutes that were cut!  :dry:

Yeah, the Z95s were clone wars era starfighters. They eventually show up in the Clone Wars TV show but they don't make a lot of fuss about them. There is like 3 or 4 different Clone Navy starfighters you see throughout the show's run.

(https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/Z-95-starfighter_95f8ed4b.jpeg?region=0%2C40%2C1289%2C645)

The rebels and other various proto rebel alliance groups also made use of Clone War era vehicles and equipment. Y-Wings were also clone war era starfighters (bombers). The Y-Wings in the OT movies are stripped down versions of the Clone Wars variant (below).

If you're unsure where the first picture came from, its from this very popular Warhammer 40k youtube series.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC5cGJ7pDog (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC5cGJ7pDog)

To sum up, the Captain-General of the Custodes is on Mars and needs to speak with the Fabricator-General of the Mechanicus. The Skitarii doesn't let them in, no matter how much the Captain-General tries to intimidates them. So they have their Fabulous Dreadnought, Brother Santodes, "convince them." Considering the mechanicus' love of technology, he seduces them with his fabulous mechanical body. Meanwhile the Emperor, Dorn, and a few other custodes are watching all this unfold from the throne room on Terra.

The Show is "If the Emperor Had a Text To Speech Device" by Alfabusa and its a really great show thats 1 part lore, 1 part parody, and 1 part alternate WH40K history (going forward that is). It is extremely popular among the WH40K fanbase and has even seeped into the lore and novels a bit.
The first few episodes are a bit slow, but the plot starts to kick off after 4 short 5 minute episodes.

https://www.youtube.com/user/alfabusa (https://www.youtube.com/user/alfabusa)

As for the pigeons, its about people being creative with their army conversions...usually for the lols. Like this Mars Attacks Eldar Army:

Meanwhile the Emperor, Dorn, and a few other custodes are watching all this unfold from the throne room on Terra.

The Show is "If the Emperor Had a Text To Speech Device" by Alfabusa and its a really great show thats 1 part lore, 1 part parody, and 1 part alternate WH40K history (going forward that is). It is extremely popular among the WH40K fanbase and has even seeped into the lore and novels a bit.
The first few episodes are a bit slow, but the plot starts to kick off after 4 short 5 minute episodes.

As for the pigeons, its about people being creative with their army conversions...usually for the lols. Like this Mars Attacks Eldar Army:

I can only imagine that. Ugh.  :unsure:

I have 2 little girls at home and they just started watching that show. I haven't taken much notice of it until today. Fucking Q shows up. As in Q of the continuum. Same powers, same actor, same finger snap when doing his powers, same snark, same love of reality bending games. Just a different name and look. I quess the creators are TNG fans.

The Slithering Shadow
by Robert E. Howard

Conan and slave girl Natala, the last survivors of a failed campaign, escaped into the desert. After running out of water they come across a mysterious city with a dark and terrible secret.

It starts out rather tropey (then again it was written in 1933) but gets pretty good. I was kind of surprised by some of the content considering it was written in 1933. I am also surprised a few scenes haven't been rule 34 to death.

Its in the public domain so it can be read for free online.

Anyone know what edition this is from?

I also found a complete collection of Star Wars TTRPG books.

They were stored with my parents for about a decade, so they're covered in cigarette smoke residue. You can really feel it on your fingers when turning the pages. Does anyone know how to remove/restore the pages without damaging them?

I was wrong. It's 7th ed - which was very much like 6th ed. The two blur together in my memory

Wikipedia ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_(game)

... where it says 7th edition (2006)
Quote
The seventh edition rules were released on 9 September 2006. It was available in two forms: as a single hardback rulebook for established gamers and as a complete boxed set game complete with plastic miniatures (Dwarfs and Goblins), The Battle for Skull Pass supplement book and a soft-cover rulebook that has less artwork and background material than the hardback version. The smaller rulebook from the boxed set was approximately half the size of the large book both in size of the cover and page count. The "Basic Rules" and "Advanced Rules" sections of both books were identical in text, layout, illustrations, credits, page numbering and ISBN. The two books had different front pieces and the larger rulebook has two extensive addition sections "The Warhammer World" (68 pages) and "The Warhammer Hobby" (56 pages) plus slightly expanded appendices.

Post by: Padre on May 31, 2020, 09:22:58 PM
It was fine for us. We were a bit reluctant to move onto 8th, but we did. 6th was the one that made us feel good, because it seemed so much better than 4th and 5th. I loved 3rd ed., but that looks so clunk now. 1st ed was a nightmare, but we didn't have anything to compare it to at the time and just dived in!

Seem to recall the rule book is 7th edition.

7th edition is ok, it is playable, although some of the army books towards the end of its era seemed to have been more overbalanced than necessary,  perhaps targeted at the development of 8th edition.  And don't get me started on 8th.  I enjoyed 6th edition, and 7th edition.

They do not smell, much anyways, but they do have that residue on the pages. I think the two top center books and the bottom far right are 6th edition era (I played HE and my little brother played Dwarfs) and the rest are probably 7th.

I’d put it from 2004 - 2010. Although I enjoyed it at the time, I didn’t realize it was the best time in my life. My son was 11- 17/18 and it was good.

2008 was when I restarted into the miniatures hobby, after some 18 years, if I recall, of not doing anything with it.  I was a young guy, and I had lost a box of paints and miniatures at the same time someone stole most of my baseball card side business, which I am sure that is what the thief was really after.  It was quite the loss, and I stopped both hobbies for around 18 years.

Then Gary Gygax passed away, and I decided to step into a hobby shop again to see what was happening.  I considered doing Bretonnians, but the Empire seemed like more of a mixed arms style of army.  It took awhile before I got into Orks with 40K, and then when I went to a military miniatures convention, that really re-hooked me into all of  the hobby.

It was a fun time, although I am having way more fun in the hobby today with all the historicals that I enjoy.  The last 5 to 7 years have been great!

I do miss WFB, and even 40K, but I've got so much to do.  Kind of glad that the WFB rumors put its new release so far out, and hope it is a good thing for the Old Worlde.  I've even started painting some of my Empire figures again to be better prepared.

Post by: Feanor Fire Heart on June 04, 2020, 09:04:34 PM
Honestly I think the Warhammer Total War games have breathed new life into WHFB. As much as the "End Times" are cannon, my personal head cannon is still the "Storm of Chaos" campaign (which got me into WHFB in the first place). I should see about finding that old website or perhaps the old book on it. It was exciting to follow! Especially because posted battle reports sometimes made its way into the cannon! I was hoping the subsequent world wide campaigns of 40K and so forth followed its formula but nothing came close.

True story:
In medieval England [I'm unsure of the correct date] a statue of Mary fell from a church alter and killed a parishioner. The townspeople held an emergency summons, decided the statue had acted with beastly manner of forethought and thusly; sentenced it to death by drowning.
A few days later, it was retrieved from a nearby stream and replaced in the church.

I bought and put a gas grill together yesterday. Today is the 4th and I grilled some burgers (they were exquisite), grilled corn on the cob, and grilled peppers. Kids played in the kiddy pool and sprinklers. Fireworks are cancelled in my area due to pandemic so we're inside watching Brave and eating star-spangled chocolate cupcakes.

This has been quite a 4th of July weekend. Friday we woke up early to take the kids to a playground before other kids would arrive. I put together a gas grill and we ordered from "Wicked Cheesy." Saturday we grilled, the kids played in the pool and sprinklers. Fireworks were cancelled but enough people were shooting off illegal ones that we got to see a bit of a show from a window.

Today we woke up early and went to Minutemen State Park in Concord. We parked and entered the park from the North Bridge side (which I recommend over the visitor center parking). Everyone was wearing masks and the few that were not were social distancing. There were park rangers around to answer historical questions too. We all wore masks (except my youngest, she was in a stroller and we had her rain cover on to act as a "sneeze guard."

This is where the American War of Independence started. With the "Shot heard around the world." The statue depicts a farmer, abandoning his plow to go fight for independence.

Quote
In late 1774, Colonial leaders adopted the Suffolk Resolves in resistance to the alterations made to the Massachusetts colonial government by the British parliament following the Boston Tea Party. The colonial assembly responded by forming a Patriot provisional government known as the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and calling for local militias to train for possible hostilities. The Colonial government exercised effective control of the colony outside of British-controlled Boston. In response, the British government in February 1775 declared Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion.

About 700 British Army regulars in Boston, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were given secret orders to capture and destroy Colonial military supplies reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot leaders had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations. On the night before the battle, warning of the British expedition had been rapidly sent from Boston to militias in the area by several riders, including Paul Revere and Samuel Prescott, with information about British plans. The initial mode of the Army's arrival by water was signaled from the Old North Church in Boston to Charlestown using lanterns to communicate "one if by land, two if by sea".

The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. Eight militiamen were killed, including Ensign Robert Munroe, their third in command. The British suffered only one casualty. The militia were outnumbered and fell back, and the regulars proceeded on to Concord, where they broke apart into companies to search for the supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, approximately 400 militiamen engaged 100 regulars from three companies of the King's troops at about 11:00 am, resulting in casualties on both sides. The outnumbered regulars fell back from the bridge and rejoined the main body of British forces in Concord.

The British forces began their return march to Boston after completing their search for military supplies, and more militiamen continued to arrive from neighboring towns. Gunfire erupted again between the two sides and continued throughout the day as the regulars marched back towards Boston. Upon returning to Lexington, Lt. Col. Smith's expedition was rescued by reinforcements under Brigadier General Hugh Percy, a future duke of Northumberland styled at this time by the courtesy title Earl Percy. The combined force of about 1,700 men marched back to Boston under heavy fire in a tactical withdrawal and eventually reached the safety of Charlestown. The accumulated militias then blockaded the narrow land accesses to Charlestown and Boston, starting the Siege of Boston.

This is the North Bridge:

After you pass the bridge there is a sandy trail that leads you from the bridge around the ridge and to the Visitor center on top of the ridge (where the Minutemen assembled and shot at the British). Along the path is a lone oak tree that provided us shade. It was very nice.

Just before you get to the top of the ridge there's another oak tree, this one is cordoned off. It had huge mushrooms growing off the side of it the size of dinner plates and chipmunks were nesting inside the knotholes.

At the top of the ridge is a nice garden that over looks the battlefield.

We snacked on the ridge overlooking the river and then went back to the car and came home. It was starting to get hot so we took the cover off the stroller and used the canopy to act as the new sneeze guard but allowing air to flow and shade for the littlest one. On our way back to the car I snapped a few photos of the placard with the battle information:

Watched a documentary on curiosity stream last night. Preserving Paradise in which each segment has some place in the world preserving their portion of nature.
In the Congo, there are trees they cut for exotic lumber. The main company is from France but the way they do it is the Congo is divided into 30 areas, each area being the rain forest type. Every tree is cataloged, size, height, type, width etc and mapped. They choose a certain amount of trees to be logged, fell them in a direction that least destroys the surrounding woods, and least amount of disturbance to the wildlife. The area they were in had about 45000 trees marked, of which they only dropped 26000. The following year they go to another district after consulting with the locals in which they repair roads, pay for schools/teachers, contribute to the local business growth funds, consult with tribes that designate holy trees, medicinal etc.
By the time they come back to the first area, 30 years have passed and allowed growth of existing and new trees. Absolutely incredible way of interacting with the landscape.
Also a new industry is filtering the soil for gold which China is involved. They come in, build with Chinese labour and reduce the rainforest to the look of albertas tar sands. Completely destroying the land.   
Every time I feel like mankind is doing something good and harmonious, far to much crud also starts to flow.

I had an RPG I wanted to run(Coriolis). RPGs are a tough sell since my peers and I are 30-somethings with less free time and inclination to learn anything new(anything besides Vampire and DnD, basically). I put out some feelers and a miracle happened and I have a five-person group now. One of the players is an artist who illustrates various scenes and group members too.  8-)

So after dinner tonight my wife cleaned up our 1yo and set her on the floor in the hallway while she cleaned up the mess in the bathroom left by our 2yo. My 1yo then stood up, on her own, and walked unassisted to the kitchen where I was pulling a cornetto drumbstick out of the freezer. It then clicked for both me and my wife that she just walked by herself for the first time! My wife couldn't contain her excitement and let out a happy squee which scared our daughter whom promptly fell on her butt and crawled over to me to get the ice cream. She then stood up and walked back over to my wife.

First meme = true for bisexual, but wrong for lesbian. Not funny, I admit. But likely fact. So I put it here 'for fact's sake'.  :roll: :evil:  :wink:

Quote
Results
After adjusting for sociodemographics and sexual victimization, bisexual women had significantly higher odds than heterosexual peers of teen pregnancy (OR=1.70; 95% CI=1.05, 2.75); this association was marginally significant after adjusting for sexual risk behaviors. Bisexuals were also more likely to have an early (before age 18) teen pregnancy (OR=2.04; 95% CI=1.17, 3.56). In contrast, lesbian women were significantly less likely to have a teen pregnancy than heterosexual (OR=0.47; 95% CI=0.23, 0.97), mostly heterosexual (OR=0.46; 95% CI=0.21, 0.99), and bisexual (OR=0.29; 95% CI=0.12, 0.71) women in final models.
Conclusions
Expanding upon extant literature, we found opposing risk patterns for teen pregnancy between bisexual and lesbian women, likely due to distinct patterns of sexual risk taking.

About a week ago, my 2yo daughter took a bit of a late nap. Knowing this would make bedtime difficult, around PJ time I opted to do something different. It was dusk outside, dark enough to need a flashlight but not dark enough to see stars. I asked her if she would like to go outside. She was bouncing off the walls excited. I put on a bug repellent bracelet around her upper arm, hung a green glowstick around her neck, and the part she was most excited about, handed her a flashlight. We went into the backyard and she was beaming, both figuratively and literally. I had a flashlight of my own and we started exploring the backyard in the dark. We saw tons of moths flying and hovering around us. Some were perched on the tip of grass blades. Bats, or the same bat, flew over our heads probably catching their breakfast. The moon was bright and although no stars shone, two celestial bodies could be seen near the it. We gazed at them, sitting on the deck's stairs. One was very bright, and if the moon was a clock, it was at the 11-o-clock position about a pinky knuckle's length away. It was Jupiter. And at the 9-o-clock position about 4-5 times the distance away shone Saturn. Mr daughter kept on waving to Mr. Moon believing it was just like Moon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5AbxW6VWhc) from her favorite show Sarah and Duck. We then went to the front yard, but being that it was well lit from the street light and what light was left over from sunset, we didn't stay long before returning to the more exciting backyard. The only thing that would have made the experience more enchanting would be if there were fireflies about, but there were none to be seen.  She still chased after moths with her flashlight. We were exploring in total for about an hour and a half before her Mom, with her sister in Mom's arms, beckoned us back in as it was time to get ready for bed. I carried her inside but she was not done, not by a long shot.  She was trying to unlock the door, in tears, wanting to go back outside. I persuaded her to calm down and have some ice cream with me. We ate, washed up, changed into PJs, and she was sound asleep before the hour was up. This was probably the peak of her summer short of the day we went to the beach and Minutemen Park.

Second-hand TV disrupts broadband for entire Welsh village for 18 months
Broadband problems were reported in the Powys village at 7am every day

The mystery of why the broadband in a Welsh village slowed down around the same time each day has been solved.

Households in Aberhosan, Powys, had been reporting slow connectivity for around 18 months, leaving engineers baffled because it started at 7am each day.

Replacing cables did not fix the problem, but then they used a monitoring device and found the fault was caused by a second-hand television.

They found that the old set was emitting electrical interference.

Openreach said the owner was "mortified" to find out it had been their old television that was causing the problem.

"They immediately agreed to switch it off and not use again," engineer Michael Jones told BBC Wales.

It's not that bad for me Mids. Schools are remaining open, and as someone who works in education I am allowed twice over to travel to work.

Today a headteacher who was worried about an upcoming visit was happy to hear I had already had it, and she decided I was therefore 'low rosk' and could visit. She probably thinks I am a safer bet than her teachers who have yet to have it. I did my official 10 days isolation, and finished it 9 days ago. I am now, for a few months anyway, statistically massively likely to be immune.

It did with others, who had self-control, but these had been given orders from 'on high' from their academy chain offices and so had no option to apply common sense. Schools with autonomy stated I was now 'low risk' and were happy to have me.

They had two old Macross/Robotech [or whatever you want to call it] toys in a bin and I gave them the money and told them to keep the change as they couldn't break the note I had. The old lady at the counter was thrilled at my donation. While I drove home, I reminisced about rushing home from school to watch the anime.

Happy days again! There will be peace and happiness for all and good fortune and all that. Why ? You ask. Because Celeste the snowy owl has returned from up North to summer in our balmy -16*C weather. This is now the 3rd year we have been waiting and not disappointed in her return. All her farm fields that surrounded the Walmart has become subdivisions so her hunting ground is drastically changing. She would perch on the Walmart lamppost every day from 4:30-5:00 but she landed on a telephone pole a bit down the road this time. Nearer open fields but harder to stop and see. The part that doesn’t change is the stupid phone camera I still use.

[In Rene Allo Allo voice]
The first half of the game involved both sides, stumbling around the thick jungle like a pack of drunken halfwits. By the time the missile troops were in range of each other, NONE of them hit anything [the missile troops hit NOTHING for the entirety of the game]
The second half of the game was followed by low rolls on both sides. Eventually, a fire wizard took out several lizardmen while the lizard man standard bearer was 'tent pegging' Conquistadors into the damp jungle ground.
Eventually; a handful of Conquistadors managed to overpower the last few lizardmen

Spotted from the highway as we were burning past.

Had a game of 40k yesterday. Tallarn vs Iron warriors
The STS [special Tallarn service] were deployed in hope of ambushing an Iron warrior convoy. The Iron warriors soon spotted the trap and things were complicated when a group of marauding storm boys decided they wanted to join in.
The STS won by at a very high cost.

So a typical Guard victory then?
The Tallarn command squad were dead on their feet but managed to deliver the final blows.
The men of the watch were a Guard priest who hacked apart 9 Iron warrior and on the Iron warriors side it was an aspiring champion who punched 12 Guardsmen to death.
Two of the Tallarn sergeants have been demoted due to gross incompitance

I had another charity store score. I spotted something that was very important to me. It was marked at $8.00 but I only had a $50.00 on me. I could have easily asked the two old ladies at the counter to hold it or walked to an ATM but I decided to donate the difference to their shop.
I was overjoyed with my find and also very happy with the donation I made.

Its the plastic lion Voltron which can accommodate the pilots [or any other 1:18th scale figure]. Over the past few years, I've sold several Voltrons. He always sells, regardless of condition.
I had one of these when i was young and i used to stick my G.I.Joes in it. My sister used to have the g.i.joe police dog operate the black lion

My wife stole all the lions to make Voltron from her Kindergarten class when she was 5. I am sure its a very popular item for collectors too.  :biggriin:

We also fed some ducks (the closest my daughters, whom are a big fan of ducks, have ever gotten to ducks). A squirrel alarmed me as it climbed my leg. I am not used to that. Even in DC the squirrels keep their distance. We also saw the bar from the sitcom Cheers. We didn't end up going in. Maybe after the pandemic.

Apparently they handled navigation for the Enterprise.  :-P I guess its because they're use to navigating in a 3D space. I wonder if they go on away missions to explore water planets. They bring it up again in the new show Lower Decks.

Ha!  Perhaps they'd be smart enough, but sheesh, it still seems a bit wacky, and they'd still need to be able to learn, as well as communicate with humans.  Not sure that'll ever happen, but suppose it is conceivable.  Not likely in our life times.

I mean the military used to do it in the cold war and the show takes place in the 2260s with universal translators. So its possible.

I like to think this unit was conceived by that 20th century girl from when Kirk and crew went back in time and saved the whales. They did bring her to the future with them.

Well an elderly lady flipped me off today. I picked up some fast food to take home with my kids in the back seat. Traffic getting into the neighborhood was pretty bad that I had to wait for oncoming traffic to let me through so I could get into my neighborhood. I could see this sedan with said lady trying to merge in with them but since it was bumper to bumper and I have no idea how long she was waiting there, she decided to turn around and go back into the neighborhood (I am guessing to find another way onto the main road). A nice person from the oncoming traffic waved me through and I entered the neighborhood. I was right behind said lady. Normally its a 25mph residential area (there are signs saying the speed limit) and she was going at a crawling 10-15mph. Now I don't think I was riding her tail, I did not roll my window down and yell, and I did not flash my lights. I just followed her as she crawled very slowly up the hill. by the time we crested it she put on her hazard lights and pulled over (I assumed she wanted me to pass, or maybe she was lost and needed to get her bearings) so I went around her. I looked over and she gave me the nastiest face and the the bird to boot! I returned the favor and kept going. I could see in the distance that she came back into the lane and forgot to turn off her hazards. I meant no ill will to this lady, and I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was just having a bad day, but it was rather funny to think that she was that pissed off that she pulled over to flip me off.  Again I don't think I was driving aggressively\assertively, in fact most drivers in this area seem to drive very impatiently compared to me, but I guess I followed too closely that she thought I was being a jerk. I thought it was rather comical.

It's been a rough year and with me finally breaking down from exhaustion and stress in mid April caused a lot of economic problems, but now I feel like myself again, haven't been exhausted or dizzy, can follow in conversations, don't have to sleep during the day, heck I was even bored some evenings ago!

Looking at life more positive now and feeling a inner peace again, I'm back on track! Currently buying cheap army books (for 6th and 7th) and trading/buying some cheap minis and hope to run some warhammer 40k and fantasy demo games, somehow. Got a deal for 2 sets of skull pass dwarves pending, some orcs and orks coming in. Painted terrain for warcry and space marines later this month. Just not buying everything at once to spread out costs.

Got some introdecks for Magic the Gathering sleeved up and ready to go too.

Hoping for a autumn with magic tournaments, warhammer and not as much stress and anxiety as this past year.

Feeling pretty down concerning the years Canada day. The finding of over a thousand unmarked graves of indigenous children from the residential schools is a pretty black mark on Canada.
I don’t think even the American blacks were so systematically destroyed as the First Nations here. Genocide is not a crazy term for what went on. That number comes from only 3 sites out of hundreds across Canada. The generational and cultural trauma inflicted on the nations is a hard thing to stomach. When the truth  and reconciliation council resigned a few years back because the reality was so horrible they couldn’t handle the endless lineup of personal histories were being heard. Until now, when the evidence is so stark as to be unavoidable, we collectively made the attempt to look away.

I remember going to port Arthur in early '98. There was something eerie about the whole place

Indeed all countries have skeletons, from waging wars, politics, treatment of other humans etc.
In Sweden scientist performed experiment on  intellectually disabled in 1945–1955. They were given special toffee
to se how teeths were effected by sugar. From the results came a new term "Lördagsgodis" (Saturday candy/sweets). I always feel a bit ashamed of the origins of the term when I tell my son to only have candy on saturdays.

Anyways, I went with my son and wife on a short 3 day car trip. We visited Borås, a town in Sweden we used to live in. Saw my old workplace being renovated, went to the apartment where we lived and the zoo. Ate a lot of good food and just had a nice break from ordinary family life at home.  When we moved from Borås we didn't know my wife was pregnant, so felt special to revisit with our son.

I forgot to mention the moronic ghost story.
The friend i was with spotted the room which the reinactors used to store their costumes. He spotted a redcoat costume and was CONVINCED it was Napoleons ghost.
Boney died in 1821. Port Arthur was built in the 1830's. Surely Wellingtons estate would have been more appealing to Napoleons spirit than a penal colony. :biggriin:

Wanted to buy the dwarf army book for 8th edition of facebook but people wanted silly amounts for it. Waited a few days and a guy just wanted to give his copy to me since he don't play fantasy. He payed for postage and just wanted me to do something nice for someone else. So I contacted another guy and sent him 10 6th metal blackguards (command included), a kitbashed bsb and some other cool bits. He had some skull pass miners to spare so got those in return. A trade but to his gain. I actually even put stamps in the box that I had spare. Hope to have the book by monday.   :-D

I've picked up a fair bit of knowledge about the old Star Wars toys since I've been selling toys online. Today I met a plumber who told me he owned a rocket firing Boba Fett.
I had a good laugh. Sorry if this is too niche

I just got offered a faculty position as the Director of the Intellectual Property Clinic at the Penn State Law School. If I accept (I will), I will be tasked with coordinating economic development agencies with the Penn State campuses across Pennsylvania in addition to teaching students to be IP lawyers and other intellectual property classes. Big bonus: I get to keep my law firm on the side letting my staff keep their jobs and me to have a second salary which is great as my kids are getting to be college age and any extra resource to make that easier is most welcome. :happy:

Got out for a small town ballroom dance this evening.  Just a couple of hours, and first time dancing in 26 months.  What a joy!

It was a bit rough at first, lot's of rust to shake off.  When I got going a good bit, things really started to happen.

Having picked a small place with few people, I figured it was far less risky than going into Boston.

I brought a cake for Easter, along with utensils and such, plus wine and ginger ale.

A good time! :icon_biggrin: :::cheers:::

I was walking my dog past a nearby highschool and a silver 4x4 stopped and DEMANDED a girl [who looked to be 12] get in the vehicle. She ran out of sight and i called the police. Within minutes, two police vehicles arrived on the scene, doing u-turns over traffic islands like something out of a Hollywood movie.
I gave the police as many details as i could. Seeing as how i havnt heard back, I'm guessing nothing nasty happened.

I like to think my dog was imagining himself as Robocop

Recently we found Witch's eggs in the front yard by the Pine tree.

Its a fungus that eventually sprouts and becomes smelly to attract flies to help spread its spores. I convinced my 2 daughters (3 and 4 yo) that they are real witch's eggs. That a witch laid them in hiding and would come back for them when they were ready. We kept checking on them before or after coming home from school until they all eventually disappeared. I told them not to touch them since the witch may come back looking for them and that if you harm a witch's egg, they'll come after you.. They were very careful around them. Well fast forward a couple of weeks after they disappeared. I had the girls kicking mushrooms in the front yard and my eldest daughter saw one and kicked it, thinking it was a mushroom and not a witch's egg. I asked her if it was a witch s egg, she said no (a lie). I said, "Okay, but if it was the witch will come after you." She again said it wasn't a witch's egg. So we went for a walk down our familiar street. She then started holding my hand and said she was scared. I asked her why and she just shook her head. I asked her what she was afraid of. She said the witch. I asked her again if it really was a witch's egg and she said it was. I told her that she should always come and tell me the truth so I could help and protect her. So I told her I knew how to protect her and we should go home so I could perform a witch protection ritual on her. So the three of us went to our back porch. My youngest sat and watched us. I had my eldest stand with her eyes close. I got some salt and made a circle around her (something I saw on hocus pocus and I knew she'd recognize) and made her make the sign of the cross a few times and turn around (something from Pirates of the Caribbean and Muppet treasure island, again something she'd remember seeing). After that I told her to open her eyes and she was now fine and the witch would leave her alone and not know she broke the egg. She asked me not to tell mommy so I said okay. The whole thing was cute. I later did tell my wife and while she thought it was cute, she is the more superstitious of the two of us and asked me to be careful about that kind of thing.

Arise! Arise ye iconic thread from ages past!

Because while it may not be super random, there is indeed a happy thought to be had. Its not a lot, not quite yet and not the flood it could be, but it is quite nice to see the Old World bringing a bit of activity back to the forum. For the first time in a long time I'm checking back more then once a day, and actually finding new comments outside of the Back Table. Some old faces are slowly returning, some new folks are posting, and there's some discussion happening in multiple threads.

Hopefully it keeps going. Looking forward to a thriving lore discussion, or new painting plogs getting established. Fingers crossed for the times to come!

Welcome back man, same boat as you in the middle of 2023.

There does seem to be more traffic and posts with all the Old World content coming out, not tempting fate. but quite possibly a good thing for the future of the forum.

*Offtopic defined as follows: these CT messages about the forum flourishing are not offtopic, but films, other hobbies and politics are offtopic.

*And half of Jan'24 is still ahead!

The forum is back on track. Offtopic discussions in the Count's and the Back Table are no more the main thing, and not everything depends on GamesPoet posting and reorganizing.

Oldies are returning, new people are posting, and we haven't seen waves of bye-byes as we did over the past couple of years. The pool of people who engage on this forum is on the rise, which hasn't been the case since 2012, when the 8th ed Empire book came out.

After the forum almost died in September 2023, times are now better than in two years at least (the time I've tracked the development), and very probably better than in four or five years.

This forum has always lived and breathed with Games Workshop publications. So thanks, GW, for making this forum lively again!  :icon_lol:

Oh, and welcome back BAWTRM!  :-)

No one can say the BT is driving the engagement currently, and its back to the hobby.

The return of the Old World is certainly having a positive effect here.

Let's hope it continues.
