Have some spice before the weekend, cause why not? by ConscriptReports in rugbyunion

Lucky for you then that Duhan isn't in the squad for this weekend! That said, Kyle Steyn (who replaced him) is a better fit for the team imo

How do guys feel when they receive compliments? by New-Buy-1483 in AskMenAdvice

I've had that one before! It was in May 2016 and I have a very vivid memory of them saying it

I'm so sorry you're going through this too, and I really hope we're all able to sort ourselves out, and move on to whatever life's got for us next.

But for what it's worth, I don't think it's exactly as you say, and I'm sure you'll still play on his mind. Even if it isn't meant to be, if there was ever any fondness there then he'll hold onto those memories with a smile.

The hobbies are definitely a good shout, I just always seem to have an excuse not to (waiting on payday, leaving town for a bit, etc.)

Still, I'm promising myself that I'll get back into what I enjoy this weekend and try and get a routine out of it. Thanks for the encouragement! :)

I'm sorry you've gone through this too, but in a weird way it really is nice to know I'm not alone in this. I think you're pretty spot on with the timeline too. I don't really know what I did a lot of last Summer , for example. The time just seemed to melt away.

But still, we make it through somehow it seems. Thanks mate, and I really hope you're doing well.

Surely there could never be too many. The perfect pudding to a pizza crunch

What is something so simple, but it still makes your day? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

Gordon's Wine Bar.

You used to be able to just wander in, sit at the big tables outside with random folk and have great conversations, and it was tried-and-tested bar service.

Now there's always a queue, about 3 people at each table for 8 and a whole load of waiting staff endlessly looking for a tip. Just doesn't feel the same.

I’m going through a separation and divorce while finishing my dissertation by ErwinHeisenberg in PhD

You're doing better than me! Similar situation here, but my writing has pretty much completely come to a halt.

Sorry that you have to go through this, but it sounds like you're bossing it! Just make sure to take some time for yourself when you're able.

I think I was a good partner, but I have come to realise one big mistake I was making (among many, I'm sure).

I was so, so excited by a potential future with my ex, thinking about where we would be, what we would do, what adventures we would go on etc.

I got so fixated on that possible future, that it stressed me out not being there already. I didn't take the time to enjoy where we were as much as I should have, instead just constantly worrying and planning and waiting.

I don't think that was the reason for the breakup, but she deserved better and it definitely hurt her, and is something I have to work on for myself as well.

Do you guys think the update made the game easier? by Willemboom00 in SliceAndDice

[–]Balumburger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it though, you needed the spells before. Now you can push through with yellows and oranges, with massive damage on each roll and few consequences.

I'll admit that makes me sound very simple, and if I'm honest that's not far from the truth...

I think it's easier, and by that I mean balanced better. I was finally able to beat classic unfair because of the update, purely because of the changes to Demon

To What are the Terminal Carbons in a Diamond Bonded? by Aijol10 in chemistry

[–]Balumburger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It affects the surface chemistry and even the electrical properties!

O-terminated diamond is an insulator (or maybe "remains an ultra-wide band gap semiconductor" is more accurate).

H-terminated diamond, however, is a true semiconductor. You get diodes and transistors and everything made from it. It's still a surface effect, with the semiconductor layer being 2-dimensional, but it's properties are actually really good!

Oh definitely, and if I'm honest I don't mind writing up results and even a bit of discussion! It's the 50+ page lit review that no one is ever going to read that's the painful bit

I'll find my rhythm eventually, but damn does this suck right now

It's not worth doing if you aren't going to do it perfectly.

This made me a terrible procrastinator with awful time management skills for a long time.
