JFSOCC Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Monday I celebrated my 27th birthday. It was great fun and great weather. I've also been playing a lot of minecraft lately, which is why I've been neglecting these forums somewhat. I'm catching back up today. 4 Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.---Pet threads, everyone has them. I love imagining Gods, Monsters, Factions and Weapons.

IndiraLightfoot Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Minecraft is great! I've been playing it a lot since its beta days with my kids (and on my own too, of course). It's great fun, very educational, and can be turned into any game you want, really. Oh, and Happy Birthday, JFSOCC! 1 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Happy Birthday JFSOCC.. Party Fun, but don't party too hard.. Drawn out day, it's turned fairly grey with on/off rain. Juggling various things, and had a 3TB drive on format for..hm, just over 5 hours now. Of course, the little green bar seems to have crept about 1/5th of the way across..

Walsingham Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Had almost written today off, work wise. Then unexpectedly, my good manners ( and a degree of following my nose) appear to have saved 40 thousand pounds by way of some insider info on a deal I've been supporting.

You're a Fin, it's your duty to have blades! Don't you realise how dissapointed us Swedes would be if you did'nt? :D Also; Edited August 14, 2013 by Azdeus Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Raithe Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Feeling a bit more tired, cranky and stressed then yesterday. I have the urge to be incredibly anti-social for a bit, but am attempting to resist that. Crumbled up a cadbury's flake into some milk and heated it up, added some cadbury's chocolate powder and pondering on the remainder of the evening.

Hurlshort Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 What kind of potatoes? Russets are typically the easiest to cook for me, they cook fast and are better at absorbing the flavor of whatever I cook them with. I have to be a lot more patient with Gold, Yellow, or Yukon ones. I guess potatoes are divided up into three categories, starchy, all purpose, and waxy. http://www.thekitchn.com/potato-varieties-64061 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVC Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Tried to fry up some potatoes, took me 40 minutes. I'm a good cook, I have no idea why these wouldn't get done. That is weird considering there is no real skill in frying potatoes. Its all about the oil being hot enough, I assume that is what you are talking about. Frying potato chips?
