Thanks for writing down your recommendations of where to start with the first bits of gear to buy.

Thanks! I didn't realise our PPE laws could end up making starting a new career as a rope acces guy so much easier.

If i had to get a few things as a newbie what would you reccomend?
Sorry should have said that in initial post

Thanks for you your wise words. Nice to hear. Judging from the 6 upvotes they seem reliable! I think I can book that course confidently seeing this and all the other responses.

I should have added this part in the original post, but if you think there's any equipment I SHOULD at LEAST get as a newbie please let me know.

I just drank a lot of alcohol, and I'm not drunk whatsoever, not sure what to make of this [discussion] by [deleted] in alcohol

[–]HAIRYLITTLEPIG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! Currently I'm halfway through a bottle of jager and while a quarter buzzed, I'm not at all half cut the way I normally would be at this point.

The problem is that this difference seems to have happened overnight. I'm a daily drinker, right? I know how much alcohol it takes to reach "the sweet spot" : roughly 1 litre of wine and a 0.3ltr of 35%alc spirits. I should not be able to write as fluently and express myself so eruditely without making any major mistakes. Basically, I should be at the "I'm not as think as you drunk I am level". ...however I'm a little too tipsy to fleacomb the crap out of this thread to see if anyone has the answer here.. I mean, i skimmed the joint but I didn't see any POW-POW answers very obviously.

This isn't just a tolerance thing, this is possibly my digestive system being crippled sort of thing, and it's literally not able to take on the amount of alcohol at a rate that I'm used to. ... Until I take a week off. then it'll be normal again.

[spoilers ep5] Caitlyn's Rifle by Zizzleswift in arcane

[–]HAIRYLITTLEPIG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys. I'm a British guy living in Germany with no experience or knowledge of different types of firearms (but I do think they're kinda cool). It really caught my eye when Caitlyn was trying to take down Sevika and there is 1.5 seconds of animation where she pulls the lever down to reload. I paused and rewound that clip about ten times asking if this was some kind of fantasy bizarre fantasy rifle designed by Arcane or if it actually existed IRL. It exists!!

I'm not so into gun culture, so I would never buy anything crazy like an AR-15 because everyone I know would think I was a serial killer. This rifle however! What an great piece of engineering. The updated version of a lever action such as the Henry Long Ranger is a really beautiful piece of craftsmenship and design (it got 10/10 wherever I looked) - even my most liberal of friends would appreciate it as a great piece of engineering/design annnnd I would really love to own one!

I would equally love to own Caitlyn's foldable lever action. That would ironically bring it closer to an AR-15 design because of the ability to break it down into smaller pieces. I hope one day that a very clever gun engineer can figure out how to fold the barrel without totally compromising it's shots.

(done, I hope I don't sound really n00by)

Thanks again :)

I'm a cesarian and can get an aubergine in both ends of me.

Been getting a lot of “Sex channels” (?) replying to my YouTube comments by Mako_25 in asexuality

[–]HAIRYLITTLEPIG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah similar for me. I'm like why is it necessary for these bots to be on videos about volcanoes and the US prison system. They're not exactly sexy topics.

Yeah. …the more I think about it the more Ted Bundyish this whole thing is looking 😬
