What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
Gfted1 replied to ShadySands's topic in Way Off-Topic
Is that the standard in Australia, no permanent gas piping to a residence? Reminds me of having to refill the tank on my BBQ. -
What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
Gfted1 replied to ShadySands's topic in Way Off-Topic
^Thats been happening to me for years. Ill just wake up between 4:30-5:00am for no reason even without an alarm. Ive been lightly exercising every day so far this year (except for that hella snow day when I had to shovel). I do one set per day of: 15 pushups, 60 crunches (15 each of top, bottom, side, side), 20 bench press and 20 butterfly (using some 10Lb dumbbells I found in my wifes closet). Its sadly not an exaggeration when I say Ive done more pushups so far this year than Ive done in the last 25 years combined. Hopefully I can increase the sets and reps in the near future. Im definitely not going to join a gym, just trying to stave off the dad bod and firm up a little bit. -

Aww man, the cops killed the tiger. First Tatiana, then Harambe...dont they have tranquilizer guns in a zoo? Seems like one place that should definitely have tranquilizer guns. -
Random video game news... Games are Randomly News Worthy

In addition to Sarex points, head bob and weapon sway are two more that will get me. Basically whenever Im looking at my own two arms then Im too close in. Even slightly over the shoulder view is ok, but looking out of my "own eyes" is . Goes all the way back to Doom/Duke Nukem/RoTT/Heretic/Hexen. Hell, even watching my own kid play Overwatch would give me a headache after about 15 minutes. -

True Detective S4E1 I LOVED S1, didnt finish S2 and never even started S3, so color me surprised that the S4 started out pretty good to my wife and I. This season seems to be leaning into a supernatural story but theyre only dropping one episode per week so Ill have to see how it pans out. -
Wiki tells me that potatoes can also be found at: Locations: Shepherd's General Store in Akila City. The Store at New Homestead on Titan, a moon of Saturn in the Sol System.

Heh, it sounds like a fun tradition. A couple more questions; will you carry the coin around in your day to day activities (like in your wallet), so as to receive the good luck? Do you return the same coin at the end of the year to be used again in the next cake?

Thats pretty cool! Does your family perform the tradition as described in Wiki?: Česnica - Wikipedia

I bought myself an Instant Pot 9-in-1 air fryer to replace my oil fryer and toaster, and 7 other things apparently. So far Ive only cooked wings and fries but both turned out great, especially the wings. I was pretty impressed with the fact that I could throw in frozen flats and drums and pull out perfectly cooked and with crispy skin. Somehow 4lb were consumed by three people in one sitting.

The loss of knowledge is interesting to me. Sure, the understanding of a one of one device like the Mechanism could be lost to the sands of time, but presumably the recipe for Roman concrete would have been common knowledge to thousands of workers who would just mix and pour it on site over the centuries? Nobody wrote it down anywhere?
