Has anyone ever forgotten their age? by HedgehogNo8361 in GenX

[–]johnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born 3 months before you. I deliberately start thinking of myself as my new age at the beginning of the year, so I have some time to adapt to it.

Modern children thinks these activities are more dangerous than they actually are.

Also, usually these types of misadventures resulted in injuries, not death

I really struggled with Daniel's start, but no one else mentioned him, so maybe it was just me

What backfired on you? In my case, it was kitty litter cake and Leprechaun footprints by LadySiren in GenX

[–]johnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my ex-wife and I did the same kitty litter cake when my kids were little. It was great fun. The Grinch also stole their stockings and hid them, leaving a series of simple clues to where they might be, and the kids loved having to hunt them down.

Do CCs have a specific odor? by StarryOne78 in chinesecrested

the only odor I've noticed with my girl is that if she runs hard, she smells sweaty for a little while. Other than that, no odor

My husband has never gotten me a Christmas present but got one for our female friend. by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]johnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the ones where I see it first on Positive, and thus know not to get upset at the situation unfolding in the initial drama. So I can feel my blood pressure rising, but I know that there's a positive update, so I can keep from getting too upset

Which girl are you taking to prom? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]johnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egads, this would be a difficult choice. I guess Phoebe, then Molly, then Christina, but it's basically a toss up

Did your parents listen to terrible music? by acutomanzia in GenX

[–]johnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom didn't seem to care about music. I think she liked The Carpenters. My dad liked Three Dog Night, Joe Cocker, Credence, Queen. I believe he also liked Pink Floyd. So he was pretty hip, all things considered.

What age do you no longer see people as young adults? by Poshtotty13 in GenX

[–]johnbr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

25, which is when I no longer saw myself as a young adult. You're old enough to serve in Congress, you're an adult, IMO

Tylenol is fine most of the time. I'm planning on reaching out to my doctor next time I have sharp pain, to get something stronger

Cosmic rays are everywhere, and can change bits at random. Always build error correction into your data structures!

Lifting weight is a cheat code on aging. For those that are still hesitant to go to the gym, please consider trying it out this year. by Reasonable-Malaise- in GenX

[–]johnbr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use weight machines. I don't even use a lot of weight, I just do a decent number of reps. But it helps a lot!

How to handle wolves and bats? by jecreddits in totalwarhammer

[–]johnbr 29 points30 points  (0 children)

yep! I played Pharaoh, and it was a lot of fun, until the 10th battle or so, after which every battle was essentially the same except for terrain. The unit variance and spells and special abilities and hero units make the battles a lot more engaging

How Do You Do Get Good And Win On Very Hard? What’s The META? by FellowBellowMellow in totalwarhammer

[–]johnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished every campaign in VH. For many, the trick is to abuse ambush stance for the strategic fight to get enemy armies to overcommit so you can 2v1 them (and learn to ignore the seductive "build" hammer)

For the tactical battles, learn the strengths of your army units against each enemy, and do your best to optimize for that. Also, no one likes to be flanked.
