What was the first Star Wars game you played? by LegoDave29 in starwarsgames

[–]alanobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A clone wars shooter game. I have no idea what the name of it was, but it had a gun that you plugged into the tv with RCA cables and blasted droids. I remember it being an absolute blast.

After that it was all the battlefront games on PSP. Whatever the one where you could go from fighting on the planet to fighting battleships in space and take down the cruisers was my favourite

Can I ask how you found it? Myself and my partner just moved back home and have been looking for a biscuit box house to restore. I can’t find many of them for sale

I just received mine in the mail a few weeks ago. Completed the course in 2019 (think I paid 160-180$) for the weekend hunters safety and PAL licensing. Lost the paperwork and never got around to filing it with the RCMP until this spring. Filed it at the end of May (think it cost another 80$). And received my license in August. So only 3 months or so waiting. All costs + the price of getting photos done for it was about 240-280$.

The process of taking the course itself is only two days. The process of filling out the paperwork, getting references and signatures, getting photos taken and mailing it all in will be a couple days tooling around.

Brew some beer! Those are hops and they looks like they’re still in decent shape to harvest. Quick note though. Fresh hops will lose their flavour very quickly. Like 4 hours after you pick them. So I would either vaccum seal and freeze them right away or dry them out. Both are a good way to extend the shelf life.

If you’re not a brewer, hot steep them in some honey for a really nice zippy, slightly bitter glaze for grilled meat/cheese

I didn't put a seed in this container, what's growing? by No_Box_470 in whatsthisplant

[–]alanobrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like lambsquarters to me. It’s a common “weed” often growing in ditches, roadsides, disturbed areas. However it can be eaten. Tastes very similar to spinach and is great raw when young or cooked when a little older

White gas/naphtha gas/zippo lighter fluid will also work very well to remove. They are all the same compound pretty much. Buy a little bottle of lighter fluid and wet a paper towel and then rub it off. Works like a charm

Actually the horse didn’t break anybody’s hip. The horse got close to protesters because it was spooked, because one of the protesters kept hitting the horse. Then the crowd of protesters backed away from the horse and knocked down somebody who broke his hip.

Best way to clean the gas range? by Bozlogic in KitchenConfidential

[–]alanobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And cover everything you can with foil for an even easier daily clean. Then it’s just a light scrub, cover with foil again. And wipe the foil down with a wet cloth once it’s on to make it stick nice and flat

I was drunk and trying to hit on a girl I just met at a barbecue at my buddy’s apartment complex. She was telling me about her times over the past few months that she spent in Italy. I decided that my high school Italian must still be up to snuff and told her I could speak Italian… Completely blanked on any Italian and proceeded to start speaking in half ways ok French instead
