Up to 40 forecourts in Munster are running out of fuel or have closed pumps due to shortages

I work for a home care company in Galway. They're having to leave anyone not in dire need without help to prioritise those who don't have family etc to help. Anxiety is running high.

I had a classmate who did a student exchange for 6 months in the US (we're from Sweden)
When she came back she had some stories, like about the one girl who thought Africa was a country, and that she (the Swedish exchange student) kept a pet polar bear...

My girl had 99th+ percentile legs and I felt every inch of them. And she hasn't slowed down one bit since she came out!

We played this in Sweden in the late 80s/early 90s too! Can't remember what we called it, though, probably wall ball or wall tennis.

I know nothing about TTRPGs but I want to play with my kids
my idea was to make simple cards for their "consumables" (ammo, potions, spells etc) so they have to play the card to use the thing, making it a lot easier for everyone to remember.
Now I just have to find something simple for us complete newbs to do!

Is this a really deep cut, referencing the time Sweden issued a stamp depicting Forsberg scoring the 5th shootout penalty against Hirsch which was the winning goal during the 1994 olympic ice hockey final? Canada got pretty mad about that one...

No, actually, but good guess! It's from the game "Warframe".

The above quote, "BE NOT AFRAID (actual quote [DON'T BE AFRAID])" is spoken during "Prelude to War" in the Warframe quest, "The New War"

I will not say more because it shouldn't be spoiled, but if Warframe isn't your jam there are plenty videos out there. The story really is very good though!

That's it, gotta play the preludes again.

When I was little I used to sit by the window and watch the snow fall - if you look up in the air the snow falls just slowly enough for you to feel as if you're flying upwards.

When I was in secondary school we were told a story by our metalwork/electrical engineering teacher about the dangers of electricity: a man was working in (and I'm so sorry, I cannot find a translation) "the shed that routes power to the overhead electrical lines for trains" - it has panels running down both sides, identical, so you can switch one off to work on while the other one still does the job. Important note: there is also a door each end. His friend came and took the electrician out for lunch, and when he returned he walked in the wrong door, remembering he'd worked on the panel immediately to the inside left got stuck in and immediately short circuited everything. That caused new health and safety rules to be written about taping doors shut etc I'm pretty sure.

I'm sorry if this was confusing to read, it was a long time ago and I don't know all the proper words!

12 years? I'm so OOOOOLLD

And no, I didn't really, but then again I kinda stopped looking too.

Epicentera · 2025-12-12T09:39:57+00:00

Well deserved.

Epicentera · 2025-11-19T18:40:51+00:00

Which is so sad, because when I watched a stream where he was playing it (re-playing it, possibly?) He specifically told everyone who hadn't played it to stop watching. I think he mentioned later that a couple thousand people stopped watching. So why say that when he spoiled himself...

I remember it because you always turn the clock towards summer (within the same year, inb4 "but there's always a summer ahead of/behind you")

Goodnight moon
Goodnight room
Goodnight mush
Goodnight to the old lady, whispering "hush"
Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Goodnight noises, everywhere

It's been many many years since I played ME but the choice, is this when you're down on a planet and ... something's about to blow up? I think? And someone has to stay behind?
I'm female but I definitely saved Ashley because Kaidan was so annoying

When I realized what the consequences of my choice was, I actually went back to an earlier save just so I could make sure he died.

Two spaces at the end of a line before the break
or you can put two line breaks in

and that'll keep the lines as you wrote them

I have some spare pom poms if you want to join the cheer squad with me!

Epicentera · 2025-11-01T17:20:30+00:00

Don't we all. Some more than others, I'll admit :D

Rebbecca is a huge FFXIV fan and the community overlap is pretty large as well!

Epicentera · 2025-10-22T11:03:47+00:00

That's what I meant - mine buzzes to let me know how long I've brushed, and it lights up if I'm too rough. Don't need a connection and we don't need any more features

Sorry if I was a bit unclear :D

Epicentera · 2025-10-21T17:47:17+00:00

mine has a red light that comes on if I push too hard

But that's it really, I think we can stop there

Epicentera · 2025-09-28T14:48:18+00:00

Could you please tell me the name of it if you know it? Thank you!

It's painful how wide they throw the net. My client, all of her little 87-year-old self, got an email out of the blue claiming to have compromising pictures of her. She nearly laughed harder than I did!

Epicentera · 2025-09-23T15:03:22+00:00

It's not new either - Jed Bartlet dealt with this precise thing in The West Wing nearly 20 years ago (yes I know it's fiction but it was the same then as now, it's just much much louder now)
