The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Azdeus replied to Blarghagh's topic in Way Off-Topic
I would say that this is depends on what hair you have though, and what showerhead and water pressure you have. It takes me about 10 minutes to do a shower (Not counting the 5 minutes I need to wait for applying medicine) because getting the shampoo out of my hair is a nightmare, and then conditioner (when I cba). If I visit my friends place this is taken down to something like 7 minutes because the showerhead and waterpressure is really good. -
My CPU is currently idling at around 16C. My computer idles at about 10C above ambient. You do the maths :D Did not have a pleasant day at work, the last few days has been cold, but atleast there hasn't really been any wind to speak of. Now the windchill is at -25C, which is a bit much. Not to mention that my room is a "bit chilly".

Yep. Me too. :/

Is it bad that I got a couple of tears in my eyes reading that? =) -
Nah, they just want more money in their own and their friends pockets, that's all.

Once you need surgery or similar though, you get on the same waiting lists. Private doctors don't have the equipment that hospitals do, they do exams and minor things.
-
You sort of can. We're "guaranteed" to get to meet specialists within 90 days at most. If that is not possible we're offered to go to a different district where they might have shorter waiting times, and they are supposed to pick up the extra costs. Don't know the exact details about that though, I don't have enough time to travel since I don't want to miss work. Theoretically you can pony up to visit a private doctor though. But when I looked up one for fun, the price was something silly like 300$/hour.
-
So a while back, there was a discussion on waiting times for healthcare here, don't remember what thread. I've got a visit for a trivial nuisance (Nothing life threatening or such) in 26 weeks.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - NOW IN 5$ LOOT BOXES
Azdeus replied to Blarghagh's topic in Computer and Console
Wasnt that the Shadowrun game which tried it first? -
Haha! Quite true Worked, met some friends after work. Watched them watch Overwatch streams, went home. Now here. Quite uneventful. The weather lately has completely wrecked the skin of my hands, I've got so many cracks in the skin on my knuckles that's bleeding that when I went up to the office to fetch coffee my boss thought I had finally snapped and killed a driver. XD

I would end up printing new buttons for my car and stuff like that. And a new heater knob for my work vehicle.

Hey! That's hurtful! ;_; -
That is getting stored away for use at a later time. ...Ofcourse I'm going to twist it to my own logic, because I am a bastard like that

While there is no trailer yet to play the Cyberpunk 2077 one is pretty awesome to me.

Mix it up a bit next time, and add some white wine with dyes aswell, and try to do it double blinded

Hey people, I don't know if this has had any spread outside of Sweden yet, we're not exactly known for trying to spread our RPG's as much as our furniture onto the international market, but I thought there might be some interested people here anyway. Here in Sweden, we've always had an alternative to Dungeons and Dragons. It is called "Drakar och Demoner" or "Dragons and Demons" if you so prefer. It's gone through many editions, the favourite of mine being based in the world of Trudvang. The world is inspired by Scandinavian myths, folklore and alot of John Bauer. The gameworld is much more in style of sagas than your typical adventures, even though there is nothing preventing you from actually going for adventure style play; the world itself is magnificently suited to epic sagas. The written adventures are epics, I played through with my friends almost 15 years ago, and the memories are still well imprinted of struggling through Wildheart with my friends, and continuing on through the other two written adventures. So, guys, are you tired of Dungeons and Dragons yet and want to try something new? For a long time it's been exclusively Swedish, but now you've got a chance to try it out on your own. http://www.riotminds.se/store/

And both of them are wrong. There is no way for 1+1 to equal 1, the only correct sign must thus be "The best Jagged Alliance game"

*looks up 2017/2018 median Vancouver home prices* ...sounds about the same as San Francisco, which went over 1 million US recently as well. SF Bay Area as a whole is lower than that (600k?) but it's still just nuts and the lower priced places are tiny or run down or in undesired spots. Our postage stamp 980sq. ft. 3bd/1ba single-family, which we bought for around $575k 9 years ago (just before or just as the major US crash) would be over a million now, which I find absurd for a 9year period that includes a long market crash. Even during the height of the crash it never went below $500k. Lack of housing for population continuously wanting to live here for some unfathomable reason = bidding wars between the richer people, inflating the value in seller's/market's minds. ...salaries for higher paying type jobs tend to be inflated in metro, but if you're not in one of those lines of work, then yeah, good luck affording a decent home in large metro areas these days for most/the average worker. You save up and if the economy depresses, try to jump in before the banks start to tighten up. Or have mom and dad help and co-signers etc. ...even the rent around here is nuts (probably $2500-$3000ish for 1bd/1ba). I often wonder how all the service/retail workers manage. It's one reason ppl want the minimum wage raised a lot, but then of course service prices would skyrocket, meaning even less living affordability, etc. Endless conundrum. My mothers cousin was really lucky when he moved to Vancouver. He bought a piece of land that was a bit off from the main area of the city in the 60's or so wich turned into ludicrously attractive property now. He sold his house, bought a really nice downtown apartment and sailboat, and still has alot of money left over. Also; Helped a friend move today, got treated to pizza ofcourse, but the highlight for me was reversing the trailer(Because ofcourse ) into their very tight and windy yard with speed, precision and finesse enough to gather a crowd of neighbours and getting applauses.

I've benefitted from the honor system, getting extra hours for working, but I'd rather have a system where I can't get such bonuses and nothing gets missed than having 4 production officers trying to keep track of 130 peoples hours. I'd have an easier time understanding if I was working on the floor like the other 126 people, but I'm one of the very few people that work with marshalling (Think this is the right word) trailers and I'm in almost constant radio communications with them, when I'm not face to face talking to them, several times per day.
