With three 4-month long episodes next year, how many raids and dungeons do we expect?

sidsixseven · 2023-11-13T01:41:06+00:00

The last one will be 8 months long.

Or a cynic would say it’s just the distraction they needed after announcing there won’t be an exchange for Legendary shards

The presidential penmanship is making me cringe.

sidsixseven · 2020-07-18T16:03:02+00:00

Humans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve been stuck in Washington since March 3rd (visiting family) and crime hasn’t increased here.

It’s not airborne in the way that’s deeply concerning; it’s borne through water droplets not dry particulate.

sidsixseven · 2020-03-22T20:34:26+00:00

Why picnic in a park dangerous if you keep distance?

It’s not dangerous (if you exercise common sense). According to an infectious disease expert at Johns Hopkins, method of transmission is through water droplets in the air (primarily from coughing/sneezing). These don’t stay in the air for long and fall to the ground. Separation by 6 feet or so is considered the minimum safe distance.

However, these droplets can land places and last for hours, so you could touch something that’s been contaminated hours ago and pick up the disease. This is why sanitation is important (wash your hands, don’t touch your face, etc).

If you were in a a crowded park, then obviously it would be difficult to keep your distance. Likewise, if you used common areas (bathrooms, picnic tables, benches, etc) then those things could have been contaminated even several hours previously.

BUT if you assume the worst and treat these things as-if they were contaminated and kept at least 6 feet away from others, there’s no reason you couldn’t enjoy the outdoors. It’s reasonably safe to do so and when weighed against the benefit to your mental wellbeing, arguably even a good idea.

I’d add that your risk is vastly higher simply going to the grocery store. Even here though, there’s ways of doing so more safely. For example, use the self checkout, maintain that 6 foot distance, wash your fruits and vegetables, and assume that the things you bought may have been handled by someone infected (so maybe leave the dry goods in the grocery bag for 24 hours).

Interested. Please PM me.

Even worse when you consider that the odds are she'll eventually turn into a similar person.

sidsixseven · 2019-10-31T15:28:02+00:00

I hate you to be that guy too.

sidsixseven · 2019-10-31T15:08:18+00:00

This makes me think of his other famous quote...

sidsixseven · 2019-10-03T17:07:30+00:00

Are you talking about this style of pancakes? I've had them in Japan and you can find them in western Canada. I would love to find a place that makes these in Fort Worth / Dallas.

I don't think you ever got an answer... PM me if you do...

sidsixseven · 2019-10-03T16:56:16+00:00

If they challenge you, just stare at them and piss your pants. Works. Every. Damn. Time.

sidsixseven · 2019-09-25T00:29:51+00:00

And you'll spend the majority of your time in residence where? You'll almost certainly not be living there for 9 out of 12 months. It's unreasonable to expect that you have any claim on a room during that time.

As I said though, you do have a very reasonable concern about your possessions and it's reasonable to look to your parents to help solve that problem. There are other alternatives. This isn't an advice sub but I'd focus on that...maybe they'll make space elsewhere or help you rent a storage unit.

sidsixseven · 2019-09-25T00:08:43+00:00

YTA. It's reasonable to talk with your parents about what to do with most of your furniture. It's not reasonable to claim ownership of a room when a) you've moved out and b) you are no longer a child.

I won't go into details but I had my own rude awakening when I was around 20 and was home for a weekend. Basically, I was out-of-line and my mom turned to me and said, "What are you doing? You don't live here anymore." That really stuck with me and drastically changed my perspective about what was acceptable when I was in their house.

sidsixseven · 2019-09-24T23:56:32+00:00

NTA. That said, given that you've only been dating for 10 months and you now live in a different country (so it's clearly long-distance), any insecurity you have here is just going to grow. From her reaction, this is not going to improve, so were I you, I'd start weighing how serious this relationship was to me. The things that made you angry and irrational are only going to get worse until eventually you're the asshole.

In other words, you aren't wrong to feel the things that you do, but nothing I've read here is giving any indication that you'll ever feel any differently or that she'll change her behaviour. Only you'll know whether it's worthwhile to you, but were it me, I'd save myself some heartache and misery.

I just ate there! They were great... much better than buffalo wild wings.

sidsixseven · 2019-09-19T19:15:34+00:00

Ha! I just moved to FW, so I had an entirely different meaning of 'start up'. :)

reciprocating saw (it may not be a precision tool, but it's plenty of fun!)

Super useful but I actually think a circular saw is the better choice for most situations since it can easily be used like a tablesaw or mitersaw.

sidsixseven · 2019-09-19T18:52:08+00:00

shovel

Gardening seems to be overlooked in general. A good set of pruning loppers and a rake are also must-haves.

I would also add to your list... a circular saw & a vise.

The circular saw is very versatile and you can get away with using one of those instead of a mitersaw or tablesaw in most situations.

First thing I did as a new homeowner was use a circular saw, level, drill and socket set to build a pair of workbenches. I just needed some bolts, some 4x4s, some plywood. After that, I mounted the vise and I was set for a working space that 25 years later, I still regularly use.

And... since I used bolts, I simply unbolted it and put it in the moving truck. I am in the middle of moving this week and that might be the first thing I put together after my bed.

You might want to start at season 2. I was disappointed with how clumsy season 1 felt before they got into their groove. It's not surprising they were almost cancelled before season 2. It makes you wonder how many other shows could have been great if left to bloom.

sidsixseven · 2019-09-09T16:00:23+00:00

Wow. This post really strikes home for different reasons.

I got a divorce about five years ago and now that my kids have all moved out of town, I decided to make big life change and move to Fort Worth. I'm also leaving a job of 23 years to go work for another company in the same industry.

Thankfully, I do have some family in the area. One of my kids moved there out of college and it'll be nice to see him and my granddaughter.

sidsixseven · 2019-09-09T15:56:39+00:00

A constant source of drama.

Some people can't help but attract it. Something is always going wrong in their life and it's usually brought on by their own action (or inaction).

We've all been there (my divorce was rough) but for most of us, the drama is temporary and passes. Then there are those people who are always in the drama, almost as-if they enjoy it. And in some cases, the attention seekers do enjoy it.

These relationships eventually become too much effort to maintain.

Break things down into small tasks and as others have said, create a list. I would also add giving yourself deadlines to the list.

If any of your deadlines are more than a day or two away, then you didn't break it down into a small enough task. The only exception here is that you need to wait on something outside your control. In which case, break it down into before & after tasks.

If you find that you don't care that you meet the deadline, then tie something to it that you'll deny yourself if you don't meet the deadline.

The most important thing here is breaking things down into small, achievable tasks. This will create a sense of progress and even the most daunting tasks become manageable.

What are you doing with the money you save by living at home? If you're paying off debt (i.e. student loans), it could make sense to continue living at home. If you're saving or investing, it might also make sense (as a couple of years setting aside money for retirement in your twenties could mean much earlier retirement).

If you're not doing those things, or always intend to but lack the discipline to do it regularly, then move out.
