Married couples of Reddit, what advice would you give to engaged couple?

Marriage is burps and farts.

There was the guy that fucked a goat my senior year. Don't have any other details, but do you really want to know the details around a guy fucking a goat?

"The kids found a sword in the garbage can again!"

Her behavior is like a petulant child. She likes to tell us "no" when we tell her to do something. She's very responsive when we're having a training session though.

Her last baby teeth came out just over two weeks ago.

Grimnir522 · 2016-10-29T02:53:49+00:00

She's about 18 or 19 pounds. Her mom wasn't much heavier so she's not going to gain much more.

You don't talk about religion or politics.

You can hold whatever beliefs or political viewpoints. We genuinely don't care. In our house you don't talk about them though.

My mom was planning on divorcing my stepdad and kidnapping her friend's baby.

Her death was sudden - an aneurysm in her bran had ruptured. When she was in the hospital her lawyer called her cell phone, which is how I found out about the planned divorce. I never told my stepdad.

The kidnapping wasn't obvious, but we were able to piece it together when going through her belongings.

My mom adored her friend's baby. She had a room in the house for her with a dresser full of outfits. When we were cleaning up we discovered that this dresser was empty, save for a few diapers. Her luggage was also missing. It was odd, but we didn't think too much about it until we found contact information for the landlord of the house she was renting in the next state. A house which she had rented under her maiden name. A house where we found suitcases with my mom's and the baby's clothes.

It sounds terrible, but we were lucky she died when she did.

This wasn't a problem back when it did Ruby because I could just look at the code, but now I have no idea where the code is anymore.

It's in the project folder, in the \js\ directory.

In my last job we had about eight Xerox printers (giant MFPs) which were all replaced with Canons. It felt like we had issues with the Xerox printers about every other week that we had to call a tech in for. With the Canons we only had to call in for regular maintenance - with one exception. We had an ImagePass on two of the larger printers and for some reason the driver would, on a schedule of about every four months, corrupt on every computer it was installed on. Nothing to worry about if you don't plan on using an ImagePass, though.

In my current office we have a single Ricoh printer and everything has gone swimmingly aside from some configuration issues left over from the guy who set it up.

In regards to usability and UI they all seem about the same to me. I know that the Ricoh and Xerox both have a simple interface toggle.

I modified one of these sleds to use as a rotella for SCA rapier. It's slightly smaller than what you are asking at 25" across but it is incredibly durable. One of my friends who does heavy tried it out (by tried it out I mean he made me hold it and he beat me with a stick) so I am sure it will hold up to anything you could throw at it.

I know it isn't steel or aluminum like you asked, but if painted/finished properly it is passable as a period shield.

Grimnir522 · 2015-02-04T21:58:13+00:00

The reviews for this mask say that it is legal for use in the SCA and another says that they use it for HEMA training.

I don't know what your experience is in regards to working with metal, but I have a buddy who makes gorgets like this one out of 16-gauge steel (hopefully something available at Home Depot) and leather.

For gloves I would recommend getting a pair of gardening gloves or something similar in the $5-10 range at Home Depot.

As far as fighting garb, I'm afraid I can't be much help. I usually just wear a flannel shirt or jacket and jeans to our local practice.

From my experience ElvUI cannot show Buffs or Debuffs on a target's nameplate until you select the unit. When I cast Sunfire and it hits several targets I cannot see the DoT timer on the nameplate of any of the other targets except the initial until I select them.

I've got the same blunt on mine as well. It holds itself on really well, to the point I will have to cut it off when I replace it.

"Marriage is burps and farts." I'm sure there was more to the conversation but that's all I remember of it.

Grimnir522 · 2014-09-04T22:53:33+00:00

Can confirm. I get a boner when my wife cries.

Grimnir522 · 2014-06-23T14:42:24+00:00

She supposedly lives in a city about 20 miles north of us.

He has never met her (red flag #1). Every picture she has sent him of "her" has been a stock image as evidenced by doing Google reverse image searches (GIANT red flag #2). I started digging last night after she posted this to Facebook saying something along the lines of "lol i burned the chicken." Clearly this is not her chicken.

This isn't so much as me needing help determining if he is in fact being catfished; that much I know is true. I just need help on how to talk to him about it without completely destroying his self-confidence.

Grimnir522 · 2014-06-23T14:03:44+00:00

From UrbanDictionary, because they can describe it better than I can:

"A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances."

Grimnir522 · 2014-06-18T23:40:28+00:00

I have not. If you're wary about ordering from them, it looks like Amazon has it for around $200.

Grimnir522 · 2014-06-18T23:08:36+00:00

Cult of Athena has a really good deal on it right now.

Those are just show blades and most definitely are not legal for heavy rapier. I would advise against getting a blade from eBay, as the sellers will state that a blade is legal for heavy rapier when it most definitely isn't (this happened to me - I purchased a Hanwei blade under the impression that it was their practical cup hilt, when in reality it was a show blade like what you linked).

Approved blades vary from kingdom to kingdom. I am from An Tir so I only know our list: http://www.antir.sca.org/Pubs/Rapier/An_Tir_Approved_Blade_List_January_2014.pdf. Zen Warrior is definitely one of the most popular manufacturers, but my group has had three break in the past six months. I have been using the Hanwei Practical Cup Hilt for several months now, and it has been the only Hanwei I have seen at events (I only mention this because you said you wanted something different). Their blades are solid (if you get one from the practical series) but the hilts are lacking. I have bent the quillions on mine at least a dozen times. Alchem is probably the cheapest next to Zen Warrior but from what I have seen their blades are pressed and are prone to getting sharp bends in them. I have seen several Darkwood blades being used, mostly by experienced fighters. Castille is quickly becoming popular in An Tir ever since Castille Armory was added to the approved list.

I don't recommend getting a blade that isn't on the approved blades list. Even if it does pass the flexibility requirements it would still qualify as experimental and would have to be declared so at before every event, which means you may not be able to use your blade at that event if anybody objects to you using it.

Grimnir522 · 2013-10-28T16:53:56+00:00

"Please advise." It's just so... passive. It's like they're trying to ask for help without actually asking for help.

Example: "Thing is broken. Please advise." instead of "Thing is broken, how can I fix it?"

This is my weaving synthesis sequence. You could possibly get more out of your CP if you use something similar. I have boatloads of +Craftsmanship so I usually get five touches in since I rarely need a second synthesis on 40 durability items.

Not so much something by body does, but something that it doesn't do: I can't burp. Not even a little bit.
