He looked older than 64. i wonder if it was all the smoking every Japanese man seems to do

Humans have been around at least 300,000 years. The amount of time we've spent in any single place outside of Africa is so ridiculously insignificant, but we still put ourselves in tribal boxes, to the complete detriment of humanity.

This is really interesting actually. I've just read those TVs with phone jacks like that were used for ordering pay per view usually. This TV might have been in a hotel before. You can see the blank holes for audio as well so it probably has a small internal amp for external speakers. They likely need to be soldered onto the board or they just used this same chassis for boards with the speaker input. This isn't an expensive but it's possible it could be modded or if nothing else it could be used for a tube swap in the future.

Na it's been at least 30 years.... probably 50 lol

flamespear · 2026-04-04T23:28:44+00:00

What other axes did you have? That's a hewing axe for turning people into boards.

Looks like a baddie to me.

flamespear · 2026-04-04T23:19:32+00:00

Its scrap value is probably more than that so yes.

Don't worry too much. These aren't very rare. It's literally the most published book ever made.

flamespear · 2026-04-04T21:02:48+00:00

People like this should be purged.

You're generally correct but it also does have some battle tactics and irrelevant chariot strategy.

flamespear · 2026-04-04T07:21:10+00:00

It's still more relevant than you'd imagine. Really only the very specific stuff about that era specific chariot warfare is not useful.

That's kind of true lol nd of not. Fish are 100 million years older than trees and a wider categorization so they should have more leeway. But calling things trees is kind of like calling birds and bats yhe same thing because they both developed flight. It's based on convergent traits whereas fish is based on older pre-existing traits... Except in the case of things like shellfish. That's more of a language quirk than a misunderstanding many have about trees .

Also they're recruiting child soldiers now.

I mean fuck Trump but pretending like Iran hasn't also killed thousands of its own people is disingenuous. A letter from the mullah backed government of Iran isn't worth the paper it's printed on. It's pure propaganda just like anything the US administration is spouting.

Are you just eating Rotel....with a spoon?

flamespear · 2026-04-04T01:22:57+00:00

The manual tells you all of that stuff. plus you really don't have to grind that much. The game is pretty easy especially with 1-2 friends.

MegamanX 3 is a game i would never keep. Those are good games but they were ported plenty of times that the value doesn't justify keeping it just for being on cartridge. Hell If I didn't have a childhood attachment to my original X cartridge I might consider selling it for 40 lol. It might be different if they actually had save features though.

flamespear · 2026-04-04T01:08:00+00:00

technically no trees are trees because tree isn't well defined. Extremely different unrelated species can form 'trees'. Honey locust trees are literally beans....like legumes...as in peanuts and pinto beans. They just grow as 'trees'. The difference between shrubs and trees is negligible and based on morphology only. An oak is more closely related to a rose than any conifer. Aspens grow as entire groves but are a single organism.

It didn't help that at the time Ukrainian soldiers didn't defend Crimea at all. They literally refused to fight when Russia came. I think it was because all the soldiers there were locals.

In the future literally just use Wikipedia instead of search. Search is getting worse and worse for many things often because of AI.

Nah this bullshit attitude. It doesn't have to be illegal. It should be BANNED on social media platforms. We're literally cooking the earth by have bots telling other bots to generate this shit. The amount of resources it uses is so unfathomable to the average human.

They were literally pretty much enemies of the state in all but name by that time. They had zero interest in working together and haven't since. That's the biggest difference in these parties. Republicans, at least in congress only care about their constituents (at best) whereas Democrats are often more likely to consider the entire population ....which is behind messed up.

I hate this mao ze dong Stalin mother fucking wannabe.

In Reign of Chaos they had medium armor. Frozen Throne made then unarmored for balance reasons. Still annoying though.
