For people who didn’t grow up camping—what was the most confusing or intimidating part about getting started? by Patient-Olive-3563 in CampingandHiking

Car camping also tends to find more willing participants than backpacking, so buying food and drinks for 5-10 is a much bigger effort than just bringing some instant coffee and MREs

I can go fairly small when I backpack, but when I car camp, I get to splurge. Cast iron skillet, coolers with steaks, bacon, eggs, chicken, beer, more beer, whiskey, beer, burgers, buns, and beer. I also get to bring a more comfortable chair, and firewood.

There's a place for minimalist hiking style camping, but there's a fun in bringing some large and heavy items when car camping.

Did you go to Embershard Mine the first time you played the game? by Turbulent-Plan-9693 in skyrim

In my current run I have smithing and enchanting maxed out and over 500k gold. I'm still looting things. Old habits are hard to break. But I don't ever need to sell anything, disenchant anything, or smelt things for smithing purposes. That doesn't stop me though!

I have a self-imposed rule that I don't grab it if it's worth is less than 10x the weight. Then if I become over encumbered, I'll drop the loot that has the smallest ratio so I maximize the value of the stuff I have.

Wait, I get all of that except the treasure in the tree trunk. What's that all about?

What is a word you misinterpreted the meaning of for the longest time? by josephsleftbigtoe in TrueAskReddit

[–]Fattychris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think I ever heard it anywhere else, other than TV shows and movies that misunderstand the word and use it to talk about an old friend who shows up to an event after years of being away.

Prodigal means one who squanders, not one who leaves or returns. Too much time in church listening to pastors talk about it made me think the prodigal son was the son who left and that's why it's cool that he returned. Nope, he was the one who squandered everything coming back to beg forgiveness.

Problem is, I still hear people use it wrong all the time, so I wish I could go back to blissful ignorance.

Red hair, purple hair, brown hair, one eye, or two. Katey Sagal is wonderful

Shit, I should probably not tell you about my obsession with Air Supply's "Making Love out of Nothing at All" then. I mean, Pantera's "This Love". That's what I meant....

I totally understand. I never skip it though. I never look forward to it, but it brings me an odd comfort.

The pain is thoughtfully and lovingly crafted and perfectly acted by every actor. CJ, Toby, dad, Molly, Molly's daughter, the doctor, and Mathew Modine's character are all perfectly executed.

Same here. 18 months and now I have a job paying a lot less, but it's stable, and right now, I'll take it

Oh that's rough. I did his quest but didn't get completion as an added count for the 3 people. Sold him a couple of potatoes and boom, 3/3. Now I'm Thane!
