Sten is every part as much of a boss as I imagined him.

 

That picture is going to become a Good Guy Stentron meme.

Once I get his permission of course.

I must be in the wrong thread, I thought it said IRL photo thread....

I must have clicked on the "Cats behind the monitor" thread by accident.

I
love it how Ashen posting something pragmatic gets called "derailing"
but moronically posting pictures of cats isn't derailing the
thread?



seriously. I had this thought as well. Apparently a lot of "gamers" are cats. It's frightening. I'm not even sure how this thread with all of its constant off-topicness hasn't been locked when real MP threads get locked all the time when they barely begin to derail.

I think Ninja Stan just likes to look at the ladies. Creeper...




EDIT: btw, I'm with sirian. Sunlight blows. I get burned from like 25 minutes in direct sunlight; maybe 2-3 hours WITH sunscreen. Whatevs, going outside is fine (as long as it's only because you're on your way to somewhere else inside) B) I also don't tan, ever, I get pinkish-red and then return to nearly the exact same whiteness (super white).

Okay, this made me want to post a slightly funny Disney World story. Specifically, a Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida story.

So, I've been to the Magic Kingdom several times in my life... many times as a child with my parents and again for Senior Night when I was graduating high school. Every single time I've gone, everyone tells me, "Oh, you have to go see the Country Bear Jamboree show, it's so great!" And every single time, the show is either closed down for repairs or it's malfunctioning, whatever.

My husband and I are big kids at heart, so on our first wedding anniversary, we take a day trip down to Magic Kingdom (perk of being a Floridian... all the theme parks are literally a day trip away). And I tell my husband, "All my life, I have tried to go see the Country Bear Jamboree, but it's been closed or not working every time. Surely it's open this time, right?"

Posted Image

Posted Image

Nope.

As you can see, the Country Bear Jamboree was, again, NOT open. I had to have photographic evidence of the Universe deciding I shall never see this show. It's been trolling me ever since I was, what? 3-years-old? 4-years-old, maybe? This has to set some kind of record for the longest trolling of a person, right?

I officially give up. It ain't happenin' in my lifetime.


You know, we have the same thing going with the stunt show at Hollywood Studies.  EVERY TIME we go down there, it's not running for some reason.

They manufacture some of those blades around here.  It's quite impressive to see them being hauled around by a truck.  They are actually even larger than the look on the windmills.

Wow, I had to skip many messages. What the hell guys. Anyway, back on topic (whatever the topic actually is =] ), does anybody play Airsoft? I do. (second from the right)

I also truly like to explore abandoned places (buildings, factories, etc). This was a huge abandoned quarry near my house. This photo unfortunately doesn't make it justice, it's way bigger than it looks.

There's an old quarry about a mile from my house.  We hike through the woods to it every now and then.  Ours was for Bowling Green Limestone, and from our understanding is the one that was used to get the Limestone for the White House many years ago.

All the quarry here are limestone too, and there's plenty thanks to bad environmental management and corruption (most of the quarry are near the city, witch is insane and caused many lung problems to the population). Thankfully they are all closed and abandoned. Some of them still have vehicles and other relatively new equipement laying around.

There are also tuff quarry witch are strikingly different, though most of them have been converted over the years to agriculture. It's quite good for lemons and tangerines, and the colorful fruits provide a great visual contrast with the dark brown or pale yellow of the exposed rock.

- Logs on ME3 and sees it's pretty much dead.
- Logs on Forums and sees it's still dominated by the pretend Facebook thread.
- Also noticed every other thread seems to be a copy of every topic started 2 months ago such as Salarians, same power bugs, same animation glitches, immunity demands, etc.

Looks like everyone just kind of gave up haha. Bioware hasn't fixed anything, the posters don't play the game...

The tuff quarries do sound pretty cool to see.  We are big outdoors people, despite me being an IT guy, I'm still a country boy at heart.  We camp and hike pretty frequently.  My wife is a geologist at a park (http://www.lostrivercave.com) with a tourist cave (her speciality is karst).  Probably the coolest places we've been hiking are Natural Bridge in Kentucky, and Red Rock Canyon just outside of Vegas.

The more time you spend in the sun the more likely you are to get skin cancer. Seems a pretty simple equation to me.

A single ionising radiation particle/wave form hitting the right place is all it really takes, it's just that the longer you are in the sun, the more of them hit you. 

That said radiation sources are also to be found in your own house and it's not like all UV radiation is absorbed by your house. Not to mention all the various other sources from which we could potentially get cancer.
Unless you're working in a labority and regularly handling stuff like benzene, try to keep cancer worries to a healthy dose.

Even living behind one meter thick concrete walls won't protect against some of the more energetic particles/rays hitting our planet. Just because you're living in your mother's basement, doesn't mean you can't get cancer from some form of radiation. Posted Image

I'm resisting the urge to post a "you don't say" meme.

And I live in Queensland, anyone who has a basement in Queensland is an f-ing moron who is asking for their house to be ruined.

So hey, did you guys know that a kangaroo can't hop backwards?


Because their path is littered with the bodies of their victims. Wild Roos are dicks.

I felt this is worth quoting from like 15 pages back because of reasons.


Also everyone knows the Black Knight is best knight. The Black Knight always wins. Your blows are naught but flesh wounds.

They are pretty cool, but all the accessible ones I know of are privately owned. At best you can snap some photo. Still, I remember in one of those a huge rather circular chunk (those are excavated pretty much like Minecraft blocks) with a small cultivated garden on top.

I used to grow up in the countryside, so I know the feeling of going back to the roots (sometimes literally). I studied IT for three years, then left and focused on Environmental Science, witch is a mix of pretty much everything from chemistry to microbiology, from geology to treatment plants and environmental law. It's definitely nive to actually learn a lot more about the world we live in and then go outside and actually see what you just read on a book (or, you know, do stuff in the lab with colorful liquids and pirex glass).
