@scribus Words like "go away" and "idiot" were uttered. That stupid stubborn little piece of poop and spiky bristles either didn't move at all or it moved quickly back to under the bush to make the whole process comically on repeat. 10 minutes for a distance of 1.5 meters.

@scribus Yeah. Luckily I knew only one guy when I was at university who swore on the whole Apple ecosystem.

@scribus That looks fun. I guess my D&D group's taste would like a little bit more serious setting. I own the Humblewood books and I wait for the day I can do a one-shot in that setting when we start a Spelljammer campaign next year.

@scribus Oh wow! What a surprise! A determined person could brew something simple as gunpowder from the knowledge from Wikipedia.
-
@scribus Maybe it could be extended with weird gizmos like Data from The Goonies. Simple tech stuff made out of ordinary objects. And any electronic device is a "magic" item.
-
@scribus Hmmm.... Weirdly compelling. So you have to find books, teachers, information and then to write an exam to level up a skill?

@scribus A good belt or harness to carry it becomes a necessity once you're over 30 rounds on you.
-
@scribus it becomes a workout indeed when you start stocking cans of it and have to relocate to various locations in your house twice a year.

@scribus the accursed Lutheran strikes again
-
@scribus Ah yes! What about paying for small pieces of paper to be forgiven? Skips the step to have a person that forgives.

@scribus One thing he did was good: kill off the Adobe Flash plugin. It was a lot of trouble security-wise and performance on PC and especially mobile was atrocious. My HTC Desire Z could run Flash but more on paper than in practical terms. Also this move has eradicated Flash websites. They work now as good as they did back then, not at all.
Despite of that I agree to everything you said. -
@scribus Good enough for a truce I guess!
-
@scribus Me too. I shave once a month and wait until it gets itchy. I only have a simple safety razor and an electric shaver. It is sufficient but I like neither of those because my skin is easily irritable. I'd like to permanently remove my beard with lasers but I fear it'll destroy my skin.

@scribus That yellow WHORE

@scribus I know she's so cute

@scribus BuT rEd OnEs LoOk BeTtEr! Yeah... I have currently a hand full of green ones on my plants at this moment. I'll harvest them tomorrow. Hopefully they won't stab my tongue with a hot dagger like the red ones.

@scribus western Maryland and the Baltimore-DC area may well be in two different parts of the country if I’m being honest.

@scribus Just to be clear: Lower German is not that common, however in casual conversation it has some foothold in everyday use, especially common expressions and traditional stuff like in food or handiwork or hunting. In comparison the Bavarian dialect is 20 times more common. It is not dead but there is definitely a dying trend. A local broadcaster has a one hour news block that uses lower German throughout.

@scribus one time I was driving around Holland with a friend and his local friend. I commented on how flat everything was. Dutch dude mentions that we’re technically below sea level, then looks at me and goes, “Netherlands means ‘lower countries’”. I go, “but we’re in the north”. Nobody found it quite as funny as I did.

@scribus East Frisea up to Hamburg is the main turf of lower German also called "Plattdeutsch" but it is also "common" up north along the coast of the North Sea. Some words are also heard in south Lower Saxony to the Harz mountains. I use sometimes "moin" because it is universally applicable at any time of day and it is short.

@scribus I have one Cayenne plant and 5 Jalapeno. They don't bear a lot of fruit but right now I am plenty served by them. I planted seeds for their replacement, as they are supposed to be living about one year. I don't get cold sweat or anything but their hotness can be slightly overwhelming. Maybe I need them to cook for a lot longer. They were basically fresh when I put them into the sauce. As of now I wouldn't go eating any hotter stuff than that.

@scribus Clown carcass in alley this morning, tyre tread on oversized shoe. This circus is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.

@scribus That all sounds good until you factor in the kind of human resource you're dealing with in Fallout. Ironically the tv show is the best illustration of this, with the main character trying to behave like a civilized person and consistently getting banana'd by everyone.
House's narcissistic approach is a necessity in the world he's operating, without the army of robots forcing the wastelanders to work at gunpoint nothing will get done (example: they're still living in shacks near 200 years after the war)
Plus, he has civilized some factions already, so it's not like he won't uplift the competent and decent wastelanders into better positions. He has to do that for any space settling plan to work, since good people are needed to populate those colonies.
Sometimes, a competent megalomaniac is the only option that can get the job done. -
@scribus Interesting, he's my favourite faction to side with on the grounds of pragmatism, he's the only one with a plan (and the actual capability to make it happen) to make humanity go anywhere other than "we'll just be hobos in perpetuity"
He might not be incredibly likable, but in a survival scenario that's irrelevant. -
@scribus I hope this year the yield will be big enough to fill a cooking pot at once for tomato sauce. Last year was horrible due to rain and infections. Soon I want to grab some free trampolines with side-netting in order to create a simple roof above the plants to prevent damages from rain. All I need are the vertical pipes. Free trampolines are always there. Right now there are 8 in my region.

@scribus not a bad idea right? :P
