I love dogs, cats, pets, animals in general, and would not knowingly chose to eat dog meat unless it was a question of survival. Unfortunately I have tried dog in pilaf, not knowing at the time what the meat was. That said I think it is hypocritical of us, by us I mean most human beings, how...

Personally I'd be a lot more excited about an actual moon base as opposed to a manned mission to Mars. The main reason a mission to mars is interesting, at least to me, is that in actually doing it we'll discover a host of new problems, and solutions, as well as see development of manned...

And here I've been doing it all wrong, just going in for a headbutt and hoping lips would connect :crackup:

Brucemir... love seeing your posts, and would plus rep you if I could, but since I don't give out reps like candy on Halloween, I can't. Hope you do keep posting though. ______________________________________ Hate to say I told you so (very general forum "you"), but I did :p Rep inflation was...

Didn't read the thread but figured I'd toss in my $0.02 since it's a lighthearted venting thread... I think :thinking: I'm far more patient now days than I was when younger, so much harder to irritate, but my #1 pet peeve are people who drive slowly, and/or drive side by side with a car on...

Yup, it's pretty disgusting, and what's more, that heavy chlorine smell that people tend to associate with a pool being clear is just the opposite. The smell is the result of urea and chlorine interaction. I say urea because it's worth noting that sweat and pee are essentially the same, except...

Thank you. With age comes perspective, and the types of things used to cause me anxiety seem silly to me now, nor am I embarrassed by any of my hobbies. I think my parents bought me so many legos and transformers (which I'd often reassemble in new ways) to keep me from taking stuff apart, and...

Without going into details I had what would be considered a very difficult childhood, and adolescence. (Life hasn't been a picnic since, but it has gotten better.) Being a very introverted, not very social child, I had an extremely active imagination, and according to my parents went from...

By now I think it's blatantly clear on where I stand, where cops and laws are concerned. That said cops are still people, and I don't see one going out of his way to put out a bolo just from seeing a laser beam. My bet is the guy was shining it at other cars going in the other direction, and...

Little nephew forgot this guy when my brother and his wife were visiting. Now I have an excuse to buy transformers again :D

Sorry for your loss. Mine is also having lots of health issues, I don't know how long he has left.

Glad things have been resolved. Maybe time to close this thread ;)

@Hap, just my not so humble opinion. You need to be more patient, and not expect everything to go as planned. I understand the disappointment of receiving something that is not as advertised, for whatever reason, or even sometimes not getting it at all. Where both people and businesses, which...

Life kind of got in the way :p I'll try to remember to do it this weekend.

To have a beam visible at low power, without requiring eye protection, it has to be 5mW or less, and you still don't want people to be staring into the beam itself regardless. To do this, you can get a nice low power labbie, that can run pretty much indefinitely, setup inside a plastic...

Had laser, decided to sell, changed mind, didn't sell. See nothing to to apologize for at all. If you feel you have OCD/Depression/Anxiety, please speak to a professional. Most do genuinely want to help, and a simple fact of life is that there are are times when it is ok to, and normal to...

Can't believe I'm so excited to play such an old game :D Now just need a DII, maybe even DI remaster on top of it.

:crackup: I can't feel bad for people who knowingly do stupid crap like that, regardless of how they end up as a result. Too many people who end up hurt through no fault of their own, that deserve sympathy, to waste it on idiots like that.

That's an interesting point, but escaping reality is exactly what most addicts use heroin for. I'm sure for many, despite surviving the war the future was still quite uncertain, and not very rose colored either.

Then there is the question of whether utilizing drugs to enhance once's performance, or mood, is even an issue, where it does not affect one's ability to be productive. Where a person can no longer manage their life effectively, recognizes this, but still cannot or does not want to quit... an...
