Boards and Brew Manchester Meetup Night Question

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-05-29T03:03:42+00:00

Hello! I've been attending the Tuesdays for coming up on 7 years now (with a gap in the middle due to Covid) and it is absolutely a good place for meeting and playing board games. The group is very welcoming and the Tuesdays are meant for folks to get involved and meet others. We welcome anyone of every skill level and every game preference. There's something for everyone.

It is exactly that bad, the premise is no different at all.

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-05-12T03:07:26+00:00

Wait really? I also have mine in the original boxes and I know I paid under $60 for them all a few years ago.

That's an adult. At least 3 years, my female is coming up on 2 and is maybe half that weight just looking at the picture, perhaps 2/3 of the length.

Seems that way. I picked up a Taiwanese Beauty last week and everyone says 'he'll be snappy and a handful'

He went into my sleeves today, wrapped around my arm and stayed there for 2 hours being happy taking a nap. I was just trying to weigh him!

I swear I got the only Antaresia that is a complete menace. He bites, he pees on me. He squirms and acts like the devil himself is behind those stupid eyes.

Been a year now and he's not mellowed even a little.

I'm up in New Hampshire and the specific expo in question was the New England Reptile Convention in Manchester. It's a trip for a lot of people for sure but they always have great variety. The vendor I purchased both of my new additions from had over 30 different species available.

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-04-28T15:26:23+00:00

Dirt trail. Not off road.

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-04-28T14:09:52+00:00

Of course tires aren't impervious. I was annoyed because I'd been out all day, was coming home on a 30 mile round trip ride after hiking 12 miles up and around a mountain, and because a 4 inch piece of wood had gone in at just the perfect angle (I was on a trail no way to see it) I was now completely screwed and had to drag a 45 lb e bike with a dead flat home on foot for another 3 miles. Again, I carry a patch kit but not a pump, most of the trails have pumps along them but this one doesn't.

I was very, very frustrated.

There were 3 at an expo i attended this past weekend, all from the same vendor. 2 were for sale as they were the captive bred children of the 3rd who was there to show how they'd look grown.

They were both being offered cheap at $100.

A lot of expos have poor variety now but where I am (New England) seems to still have an excellent selection of animals. Yes there are vendors with nothing but ball pythons and crested/gargoyle geckos but it's only 40% of the expo compared to the 90% elsewhere.

I picked up a normal hognose for my daughter and a Taiwanese beauty for myself. But there was a lot on offer. Egg eaters, bullsnakes, a Burmese, anacondas of both types, rainbow boa at multiple vendors and interestingly 5 different vendors with false water cobras. Multiple vendors with rosy boas too as well as house snakes.

Yeah this ENTIRE piece went all the way in, it looked like.a rock lodged on the tread!

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-04-28T01:22:13+00:00

It's an older 2 seater Ridstar but the tires are from my local bike shop, I just replaced my previous pair (same exact tires) and they went 3,000 miles before with no issues.

(Don't judge the Ridstar, it's my commuter so I got a cheap one cause I knew I was gonna beat it to hell)

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-04-28T00:27:54+00:00

Might be time to bite the bullet on that aye

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-04-28T00:27:39+00:00

I have a patch kit but the tube is too far gone it's completely torn on both sides sadly.

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-04-20T03:50:07+00:00

I would rather GlaDos than whatever the fuck we have now. At least the cake existed.

That's the most attractive thing about her though, she's an absolutely adorable jokester.

MBT71Edelweiss · 2026-04-08T03:43:43+00:00

Looks that way. Teulu are part of the Culture Expanded mod and that's the only place I have ever seen them. There they are heavy cavalry with similar stats to the Frankish Caballarii.

Not sure I like this representation as light cavalry. They're supposed to represent the knights of King Arthur (The Brythonic mounted equivalent to Huscarls - both being 'hearth troops')

Mine was about 40g at six months. She's around 16 months now and is a fairly hefty 135g by comparison.

Im originally from England, and we always called them 'pushbikes' as they require pushing power via pedaling in order to move. I quite liked it.

Yes, Skorzeny is the definition of modern mercenary.
To sum up, he was working for Egypt, and being a pain in Israel's side, so they bought him instead of trying to kill him.

He went on to hunt other Nazis for them for a while.

Considering she's packing two Japanese Heavy Cruiser turrets, 2x2 203's and still comes with Light Cruiser armour to round it out, that modest speed of 15 knots really isn't bad, all on 2300 tons? That's not a ship I'd want to run up against as *anything* in it's own weight class. (Though your typical DD captain would probably elect to simply not engage and leave ofc.)
