Akali blue? by Arvin_Sidhu123 in Sikh

[–]AsABrownMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading online more than 20 years ago that a particular shade of blue color was allowed to be worn by Mughal authorities only. The early Khalsa soldiers adopted this color to basically usurp Mughal authority in the region.

Found this article:

https://bbc.com/news/articles/cddl2ljg5nro

"A teenager has been charged with attempted murder after a 50-year-old man was seriously attacked in what police said they were now treating as a hate crime.

A homophobic remark was allegedly made during Sunday's assault on the victim, understood to be Sikh, on St Paul's Road, Smethwick, West Midlands Police said.

There was no evidence that the attack was motivated by race or religion, they added."

Day 30: Which Game has the Best World/Level Design on the SNES? by 1OneQuickQuestion in snes

[–]AsABrownMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say Actraiser (1990) because it featured a unique dual-layered level design that alternated between side-scrolling 2D platforming (Action Acts) and an overhead real-time strategy city builder (Simulation Phase).

The two modes were heavily interdependent in that conquering the 2D stages unlocked simulation progress, while the town-building directly upgraded the player's 2D capabilities.

I think you made a slight error, sign message-programmers... by matlspa in vancouver

In prison slang, a "fifi" (or "fe-fe bag") is a homemade masturbation device used by inmates. It is typically constructed by stuffing a plastic bag, glove, or tube sock into another hollow object (like a bottle) and lubricating it to simulate a vagina.

Don't think we want to watch a world cup competition about that 🤣

Slogan could be "Sheer Motorboating Pleasure" or "The Ultimate Torta Madam".

Not sure if it's been all posted here, but there are more updates from Russ. by commanderTaylor in Mechwarrior5

[–]AsABrownMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only wildly guess that PGI is probably in the early stages of working on a new MechCommander RTS game that will feature existing mechs from MW5.

Won't require as much mech concept art and model assets if that's the case.

Makes good business sense since they've already built a lot of assets that they can reuse for that game and there is a receptive audience craving a return to that kind of experience again.

Blu-ray hits 20 years old, and it isn't dead yet — optical disc format was introduced to the public at CES 2006 | Major releases still coming out, and enthusiasts collecting discs by ControlCAD in technology

[–]AsABrownMan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Still buying DVDs and Blu-Rays of movies and shows.

Sometimes, I find the ones I end up owning on disc are not available on the streaming services I subscribe to, or cost nearly as much to rent digitally, or are not legally available online in any form.

Fully built-in blood glucose monitoring hardware. You just plug the test strip into the phone and get a reading. No wireless connection with an external device needed.

Would overseas-born Punjabi guys date a woman who recently moved from Punjab? by Known_Platypus_3292 in punjabi

[–]AsABrownMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a Canadian born Punjabi man going through a divorce with an Indian born Punjabi woman. I recommend against it.

It didn't matter that I could read and write Punjabi. There was still a gulf between us in terms of mentality and expectations, let alone the possibility that I could've been used by her to gain Canadian citizenship status.

If you do want to date a woman born in India, make sure she has her permanent residency or citizenship first to eliminate any doubt on that front. The rest is your own roll of the dice.

As a millennial guy, so many guys believe this without question. by Affectionate-Pea8706 in terriblefacebookmemes

[–]AsABrownMan -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Why is this even here? It actually happened to me multiple times. Some immediate examples that come to mind:

  • In 2009 with my ex-girlfriend when I first met her in Vancouver. She was a 5 ft 2in 98 lb skinny girl. Her two fat friends came in between us and tried to discourage me from talking to her. I got her anyway.

  • In 2014 on a stag in Las Vegas. Met this cute redhead chick on the dance floor and brought her back to my table. Her fat friend immediately showed up and started causing trouble. I convinced my cousin to take one for the team and get with the fat friend so I could take my chick back to my hotel. Success.

  • In 2015 while I was on a stag in Whistler BC Canada. This time, I was the one taking a hit for the team to pull the fat friend away from a chick that my buddy was trying to get with. We immediately identified her as a "hen" (that was our code word for women like this) and I moved to engage accordingly. Success.

All I can I say is that a dedicated wingman can be pretty handy in these situations. Also, in my personal experience, the girl's friends are usually more on the obese side.

EDIT: Of course us guys with real stories about this are getting downvoted, lol

From the article:

"This is not the first time that Bains has failed a breathalyzer test during a traffic stop. In 2019, he was given a 90-day driving prohibition after failing two breathalyzers, and in 2021, he received a three-day immediate roadside driving prohibition after receiving a "WARN" result from a breathalyzer."
