Bartimaeus Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 I haven't slept in about 40 hours. It's not pleasant, but ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do. It's at least not as bad as the time I was awake for 90 hours straight. Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Gfted1 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 My neighbor went through a vaping phase but it didnt last. BTW, as Im sure youve noticed, the flavors come in different strength nicotine levels. My neighber tried a 20mg version and it made him sick too so maybe you need to dial that back.
WDeranged Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Nicotine strength is really important, too low and you end up constantly taking hits. Too high and you get severe headaches and nausea.

Azdeus Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Bought one myself, to try it out, and I preferred the old style of cigarettes that I used before I quit. The smoke is'nt as tasty, it's really lacking. :/ 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.

Still, some get close, and if you can step outside the paradigm of tobacco flavours you'll eventually find a taste you love.

Amentep Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Strange Brew should be out - besides the movie its also the name of a home brew supply company. Beertopia is the name of a couple of local festivals and a store Hop Common is a beer made by Peekskill Brewery I'd go with Hop History as well. Maybe even brand it with a latin subtitle, Humulus Lupulus Historiarum or something to seem extra historic. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Azdeus Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Changed my clutch today, went better than expected, small amount of annoyances and hassles. The clutch slave cylinder had oxidized and was stuck though, so I had to remove the entire piping system from the main clutch cylinder to the slave, and then fetch a piece of wood and sledgehammer to get it loose. All polished up now though, so that should'nt be a worry for a while. Then I had to test to declutch. Nope! No go. After airing the system we discovered that the old rubber hose that volvo thought was a good idea to use for the pressurized system was swelling and shifting something awful when I tried to use the clutch. So I have to get a steel reinforced hose, or make the entire system out of steel pipes, Also have to empty out all the brakefluid and change it out for fresh fluid, it was some of the nastiest fluid I've ever seen. Not frustrated at all. Edit; Sirhopalot? Hiphops? Topofthehops?

Keyrock Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) I finally got my copy of the Conan board game today (I'm one of the very first as I was in the first wave of shipping). I crowdfunded this waaay long ago when I still did crowdfunding. It got delayed many many many times as Monolith worked with their manufacturers to get the cards, boards, and figurines just right. The wait was worth it, though, as the product is top notch. The box on the right is the King Pledge box, a deluxe version of the box that will be available at retail. It has 2 double sided game boards, a bit over a handful of character cards, rulebooks, playing cards, dice, tokens, and a whole bunch of really great figurines. The box on the right is the stretch goals box. Everything in the stretch goals box is limited run and only available to backers and possibly at conventions until Monolith run out of their personal supply from the initial run, never to be manufactured again. It contains another double sided game board, a scenario, over a dozen more character cards, more playing cards, more dice, a map of the world, a dice bag, and a buttload more figurines (the amount of figurines combined from both boxes is in excess of 200). At some point, I may paint the figurines, though it's been a long time since I did that and I was never particularly good at it (not terrible either). I'd take pictures of some figurines but my phone is terrible at taking pictures at very close range, plus I'm a terrible photographer. I'll wind up joining one of the many board game clubs here in Charlotte. The board game scene is arguably in the best shape it's ever been.

Azdeus Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Looked for spare parts that I need today, travelled all over western Sweden between different junkyards and similar that was unconnected and did'nt have an inventory. No luck. So I went to a specialist store and bought a steelspun hose(Edit; Braided hose!) and connections and ordered a new slave cylinder. Going to mount it tomorrow and hopefully get that ****ing clutch to work properly. My father drove me around in his car, and I can honestly say that I'm pretty damn envious of his engine. 0-60 in about 4 seconds. In a car looking like this; Just not as nice.

teknoman2 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 i feel like i either have a secret benefactor or some long forgotten bank account with A LOT of money in it. a few days ago i was checking what the next installment of my tax to pay is and i saw a series of "PAYED" on the list. i was baffled at the sight since i never payed them and no money is missing from any of my 3 bank accounts. today i got a mail saying that they levied the money for my taxes automatically from a deposit made in my bank account 5 days ago, so i took another look at my 3 accounts... no money was deposited in or taken from them in the last 28 days i should go around every bank and ask if i happen to have an account im not aware of The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.
