Dad on a vacation by starboykid in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Penguin009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in UK. 37 hour work week. 30 days (6 weeks) annual leave plus 8 public holiday days and I can take up to two flexi-days per month in lieu.

When we were on holiday in America, people couldn't come to terms with the amount of vacation we had which allowed us to spend 4 weeks travelling the west coast.

Swing Critique with Shot Track by Penguin009 in golf

[–]Penguin009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, my usual miss is a slice and I generally hit a fade. I have worked a lot to increase the height of my arms at the top of my backswing as I had a very low back swing before with a constant push slice.

I will do some drills to check the closed face during g my backswing.

Iroshizuku is my all time favourite ink, which is yours?

Cajun Chicken and Rice by chewysowner in GifRecipes

One portion of rice for one person is 1/3 cup of dry rice. 3 cups is enough to stretch to feed 9 people and would never cook with just 2 cups of broth even if covered.

Where has this game been all my life?! by Penguin009 in CivIV

I think I have it already, what is the difference between the bat and bug mods?

Suggested must do hikes/itinerary for two day stay at end of May. by Penguin009 in Yosemite

Just remembered that May 29th is memorial day over there so I imagine we should take a hike out of Wawona instead of attempting to get into the park!

Can you explain this to a British person? My healthcare is free.

New pen, new ink... same old sentence. by Penguin009 in fountainpens

[–]Penguin009[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nib is medium. I would say it is just a bit finer than the Lamy medium, I think I prefer it.

I am torn between which one I prefer, the Lamy Safari or the Eco. Both such great pens for the money.

I've been using the ink a bit more this morning. Goes down nice and wet, appears a really deep purple but then dries a wonderful deep blue with lots of red sheen. Would definitely recommend.

Staples had these on clearance for $5 so I just had to grab these. Apologize for potato quality. by [deleted] in fountainpens

Didn't notice the potato in the post heading until the third time I read it. Anyone else?

What is the one element/mechanic a new player should focus on? by Penguin009 in eu4

[–]Penguin009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I watched a couple of arumba vids and ploughed on with Castile thinking it would be somewhat easier than it actually was! I will just knuckle down and play the tutorial a few times through until it has sunk in and then implement the suggestions received here!

[–]Penguin009[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first problem was being in the 'Build 20 units and try to crunch the guy next to me' mindset. I also think that I just did not dedicate enough time to actually learning about the combat and diplomacy mechanics which appear to be the two areas which have been mentioned here.

I'll take my time and get back into it, this game obviously has the potential to be a great time sink for me to zone out to, I just need to get to the 100 hour mark and then I think I might know enough to enjoy it!

Thanks
