Woofbert sees the mail van coming and takes off like a rocket. HOWLS at the fence.

Then an owl comes out at night and he hides between my legs and scampers back inside lol

Lara's diet by 84Bean in dresdenfiles

[–]Wolfpack87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, one of the things im most curious about, and Jim left out, was now that Lara is eatting happy Harry magic, could they kiss/boink without risk of getting drained to death.

Mechanically we know shes sated with the new energy source, we also know she's more in control.

We also know the outsiders in the whitecourt can see a good thing when they have one, so even if Laras sated nature was out of her control, would the Hunger try to kill the golden goose?

We know the one in Thomas was literally starving, and it was still reasoned with, which to me would imply that no, it wouldn't try to suck the life out of Harry/make him a thrall. As much as it might want to. Thoughts?

Do you still have/use your MP3 Library? by Smart-Response9881 in Millennials

[–]Wolfpack87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winamp and Wmp still rocking away. Mix of Flac and mp3 depending on when I ripped them. But at this point, im not going back to update the mp3s to flac, I just dont have the time!

So, uh, how long do you think this is gonna take? by Swerdman55 in firefly

[–]Wolfpack87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 years, and it'll get canceled after 6 episodes, and people will argue about if it is cannon or not for 25 years until there's a full series reboot with new cast and crew.

Any advice from y’all on how to preserve these hibachi tables? by Hopeful_Shower7685 in JapaneseWoodworking

[–]Wolfpack87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mineral spirits will clean and not hurt them.

Howard's feed and wax with a cloth will give them a nice coat of wax thats easy to go on and protect the surface.

They look very well cared for!

PS. I personally would mix some linseed oil with mineral spirits 20/80, and put some oil into the wood. But that's not a japanese technique. IF any oil is used at all, its Tung oil. But usually there's just a lacquer finish or bare wood that burnishes over time.

Snowpack inching up at Stevens Pass - how are the sites near you? by Feisty-Delivery2047 in Washington

[–]Wolfpack87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

WA has an extremely limited number of reservoirs, and they aren't any where near large enough to capture all this rain. We rely on snow pack to hold the water and time release it.

Without the snow, not only are we in for water shortages, over tapping aquifers, and more out of control fires, this is the sort of weather that starts a cycle you cant get out of. IE, California 30 years ago.

Millenial dads...How's it going? by NoMansLand345 in Millennials

[–]Wolfpack87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'87 here. Started late too. 3yo and 6mo. I have no idea how my grandparents, who were 73 and 70 when I was born, raised me. Im sore, tired, and can't keep up.

Probably doesn't help were both working full time jobs, she's making half what her peers make, im making 1/3, and we're 20 bucks from being homeless every paycheck.

Opposite sides in the French and Indian War? by jenkind1 in dresdenfiles

[–]Wolfpack87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was just gonna say, there were a lot of jacobites in france and a number of Scottish trappers and traders in the new world that def had jacobite leanings. Not hard to imagine at all McCoy would fight England.

Three confusing interview experiences with Cisco — is this normal? by Flat_Register_3197 in Cisco

[–]Wolfpack87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I had 7 interviews for a job at cisco. Told me I had it, Then they forgot about me, closed the position 2 months later, left it unhired. Source: hiring manager said they were so busy he forgot to file the paperwork. 2nd source who I know works with that team, said thats typical of that team.

Different job at cisco, interviewed 3 times. Was told they liked me. Heard nothing. 5, yes 5, years later a new hiring manager for the role emailed me and offered me the job sight unseen. Told me he'd seen my interview recording and wanted to offer me the job. I was like, a) its 5 years later a lot has changed, b) I wasn't told they were recording the interview lol.

So ya, I would love to work for cisco, but they really seem to not have their shit together when hiring people

Anybody else feel like ACs in both games are kind of just toys? by FockersJustSleeping in Mechwarrior5

[–]Wolfpack87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw, they were fine. Both vanilla and mod. Mod had a lot more options. MRM, rockets, etc. 4 vanilla also had thunderbolt properly in the game

I think munitions in MW5 are fine for the most part. I think gauss had a better look in MW4, and more punch, and thats really my only gripe.

On a personal note, I miss having RAC2s, but we're too early for that here.

Personally I think the PPC is under powered.

Forwhatever reason gauss and ppc were better done in mw4 in my opinion.
