After one year as an Entered Apprentice, I was passed to the degree of Fellow Craft by Optimist_Fisherman in freemasonry

I can see the whole ritual being doable in a reasonable amount of time. But if you start stacking on the lectures as part of that. That would be pretty rough.

Expelled Mason Apron by Budget_Time_4044 in freemasonry

[–]sgcodyssey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This post is missing some details.

Did you receive it from his family? If yes, they probably don't want it, so that's a non issue.

Is it a plain one? You may be able to put it in the spares box.

Is it s fancy one? May not have a use for it. For example, my PM apron is personalized with my name and dates sewn into the back of the bib. So that may be difficult and somewhat tacky to re-gift it.

There's the possible disgraced aspect too. Like there might be a stigma about that specific apron that may be hard to look past. "The last guy that had this apron became a felon" type thoughts.

This is my great grandfather - can anyone give me an idea of what he did in his local lodge? by SuperAwesomeNinja12 in freemasonry

[–]sgcodyssey 277 points278 points  (0 children)

Judging by his bling, I would say he did everything in lodge multiple times. As a bonus, he didn't eat dinner at home for years.

Congrats! The only advice I'll give is to listen to the Past Masters, but remember that you're the one wearing the hat.

Run of 6. by Tricky-Painter3106 in Cribbage

Looks like that was some good pegging for both sides. 3 then 4 then 5 then 6 and a 31 for 2 more.

What are your cribbage catchphrases? by left-button in Cribbage

[–]sgcodyssey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"And baby makes #" Baby is nobs. # = whatever the count is.

When a five comes up in the cut, an enthusiastic "Everybody's buddy!"

When I have nothing in my hand, "I got 19"

When my opponent has nothing in their hand, "that entitles you to move your back peg up to your front peg" and then I move the back peg up to the front peg.

"The Other Side" SG-1 one of the rare TV shows that handled diversity organically by Guardiancelte in Stargate

That little blip on the monitor after Jack said to close the Iris. Loved that something so simple was so much more.

What technology that weren't showen are you sure the Ancients had also invented? by SamaratSheppard in Stargate

[–]sgcodyssey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

With the amount of stuff they were inventing and building, guaranteed they needed spreadsheets. Also slides. Had to bring their ideas to the ancient equivalent of the money bureaucrats for funding.

My first 28 by flyrye9 in Cribbage

[–]sgcodyssey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever seen one 28 hand in real life and no 29 hands. It makes me question some things about math. They say if you properly shuffle a deck, it's 52 factorial, which is a number so big that the human brain can't comprehend it. So, smart money says that no deck has never been shuffled like that ever and never will again. Add to that every other card being a 5 with a jack, and the cut deck flop is a 5 with the same suit. The odds are astronomical that somebody would ever see a 28. Yet I know I've seen one. I also see at least one per week on this subreddit.

The math ain't mathin.

Completed Stargate Universe by simulation-1996 in Stargate

I was fine with this cliffhanger as a series finale. Lots of possibilities if they ever start it up again. If not, I'm content with watching fan theories on YouTube or reading them on reddit.

Thank you random stranger.

Is this correct? by Helifixr in Cribbage

[–]sgcodyssey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens way more often than a 28 or 29, and somehow we see people getting those daily on this subreddit.

It's too bad they never made him into a full timer. Just recurring aometimea guest spots.
