The last one was BS...
I would have gotten the music ones, without the others.

Ya, I didn't make it to far in this one.

This game is my favorite of the lot

For some reason, the mini Crosswords don't want to load on my phone.
But I suck at them, and spelling...so..

This one was easy I just nailed with no mistakes!!

For real, I even dug the spinoffs. Streets of Simcity was awesome and Simcopter was so cozy.

I never did play Simcopter, but I wanted to.
I had a really cool at the time. I called Lemminton.

Really sad they didn't stick to the formula

It's because Maxis was a much-much better company than what EA has become.

Wow, that was nightmare inducing.

Keep in mind, that it's actually cleaned up.

That is the Nightmare.

Bro FPS games probably.

It seems like a really relaxing hobby.

How is it, in Star Wars, there are no boobs outside of Carrie Fisher?

So is like being some sort of rock person why you are called SiO4?

That would be correct!
Quartz is my favorite mineral.

Having a number in my name was sort of a tongue-in-cheek joke.
Quartz was already taken.

Just remember, a lot of Gen X was made up of latchkey-kids. We ended up having to raise ourselves. So a lot of the "not caring" comes from the fact we were ignored.

It's a "If you don't want us, fuck off. We'll make our own way." attitude. Hence why punk was a thing back then. That... and the threat of global thermonuclear war.

Good post right here.

Oh this man's from Vermont? They do good stuff up there. I drove up to Sherburne Farms and ended up spending like $120 on cheese because I made the mistake of trying the free samples. Unfortunately I also googled what calf rennet is after seeing it on the ingredients list

As far as I know we have two Vermonters.

Ya, Rutland is famous for Marble, and the Northeast Kingdom is famous for Granite.
And just over the border in New York, you have Granville which has world-class Slate.

Where did you drive up from?

Antifar - First I would probably post more, but my internet sucks right now.

Have you seen, Amadeus?

It is actually funny how little time speeding saves you.

Antifar posted...

why didn't you tell anyone?

I actually did.
Just friends of course but I did.
In the same vain I told friends that the 90s would be our roaring 20s.
I am not so sure they knew what I was saying at the time.

However in both cases I was correct.

Aight so assume it's a soft rock such that you'd need to swing a few times to get a 100 lb chunk off

Well if you aren't wearing eye protective eye wear, you might get enough off to call sand, before you almost blind yourself, keep that in mind.

I have no frame of reference for such work, but I would attack the task with the same mindless enthusiasm I give to every other useless task in my life. So I'd give a pretty fair accounting of myself. Probably the best pickaxer on CE, I shouldn't wonder.

You from Vermont, you should be chisling out statues in Rutland Marble by now.

royic posted...

What the heck is a pickaxe for then

Soft rock mining.
As in looking for Fossils is good with a pickaxe, but difficult if you are looking for Garnet.

Kai_Laguna posted...

Depends on what the boulder was made from and how firmly compacted it is, if it's a relatively hard stone like granite it's going to be a fraction of an inch. If it's sandstone or something similar it will be significantly more.
Pickaxes weren't really the primary thing used to excavate, it was either explosives or fire and water.

My man here knows what's up. ((I bet you own an Estwing!))

Most of the rock that I've delt with is hard to very hard rock.
They are Billions of years old, so they've seen some shit.

That is completely different from other areas where is Calcium based, as opposed to a Slicate.

First I agree with you.
But second, you are letting them win by posting these.

But there is a Book called The Death of Jiggle or something along those lines that addresses these things.
I still remember Jiggles from the 80's because they were good, regardless if I cared about the product.

But we live in an aggressively uncreative world atm.

The Organ is The King of Instruments.

Generally, I like Baroque over Classical. TBH.
I would bet started on Bach, but I want to make a stand-alone thread about that at some point.
But if you like The Organ, you would certainly would like Bach.

And back to the Classical era, it certainly has some good stuff but can be a poppy at times, which was the nature of that age.

I do like Romatic music, where Tchikovesky is my favorite there.

Well at least no one was trying to eat someones face of.
That's a step in the right derection....for Florida.

i was talking about a solitary instance
and wym empathy
i got trapped in a drive thru for two hours. the mf at the window was at least paid for his stay lol
and im sorry, if it takes you two hours to handle four customers youve got problems completely unrelated to volume

Four customers, and you were trapped in line? Come on man...
You gotta come up with something better than that.
What does you place have a cattle shoot or something?
All the more reason to never go there.

ArsGoetia posted...

like i said before, drive thrus here (except for wendys for some reason) are only wide enough to fit one car. once you're in, you can't get out

So you go to fast food willingly knowing it could take two hours?
And with no basic regard for what the person you are about to see has just gone through. Right..

Either you were just born rich and don't get it, or are lying at this point.
Your lack of empathy tells me that much.
You certainly are trolling, that much is for sure.
And yes, it is well known that certain customers go out looking for a fight.

Also, where the fuck do you live that shitty two-hour fast food is your only option. Holy shit.

Fuck the Bronx though, absolute nightmare to drive through.

Bringing a car anywhere near that city is a nightmare.
Ironically it feels like an SUV makes more sense then it does in The Adirondacks.
And I don't even like SUV's.

Anyway, Go Yankees! We'll get them...some year?.
But I did hear The Bronx are currently pretty rough once you leave that general area.

wym
im not butthurt about having to wait
i am well aware of unforeseen circumstances, equipment malfunctions, product shortages, etc in foodservice (btw 3 car line is not indicative of "peak hours")
but if i waited two hours and i aint gonna be a dick to you about it, why you gonna be a dick to me?

I mean if your judgment is to wait two freaking hours,for fast food, that's on you.
And if you know so much, at that point, the employee is basically charged to get people in, and get people out. If your story is true, you should know that.

ArsGoetia posted...

man so here, you can't leave
once you get in the drive, if someone pulls behind you, youre stuck
i waited at a mcdonalds once for about an hour and a half behind 3 cars lol

You can't see that coming?
You don't know peak hours?

It absolutely baffles me that people don't take these things into account.
That is entitlement. Also, LOL and getting butt hurt for what is essentially dog food.

Ever notice how common it is to see fast-food trash thrown out the window of a car as you travel?
Maybe it stands to reason.

It's like having a march for white people

We've seen those, and we've seen their symbolism, funny how it works. >_>

ArsGoetia posted...

what
bro i'll wait in line for two hours if i gotta, idc
but if i politely and patiently wait those two hours only to get to the counter and youre an asshole then fuck you lol

If the place is backed up for two hours, you should know better.
Don't even go there at those times.

Its the best, visit whenever I can. Some places have an energy, NYC has an energy baby.

Haha, I was down in the financial district a long time ago...my friend was picking up fliers for a rave upstate.
It was funny because as we got out of the apartment, where saw some of the first WiFi, we kinda walked around down there.

It was funny because we all felt the same thing...."For The City that never sleeps, it's pretty quiet"
All you heard were air conditioners.

That would be the last time I stood under the World Trade Center buildings.
Which BTW: I knew would get hit again.

It was a cool trip, completely unplanned.

It depends on what you expect from it.
But it has virtually everything.

It is a fact that it is one of the most important cities in the world.
Or as John Lennon would say, It is the Modern Rome.

I will say, it can be overwhelming if you visit without a plan to do one thing.
Do one thing, and then go adventuring.

To live there, you basically have to be rich, or born there.
Also, as a side note: New Yorkers and not as rude as they are made out to be.

nah, it was my dickhead district manager who refused to let me staff the place properly or enforce reasonable closing procedures.

I do agree with that.
I know the store managers are up against it as well.

~Still no one should ever berate and exploit an employee like that.
Heck, you should always pay attention to the people who show up to work and show signs of burnout.
Maybe at that point in the night allow them to do some side work and take a breather.

Unless it is an extreme situation, treating someone who is effectively trapped is a shit move.
And like I said earlier, that dude recording was almost certainly project that he is a shit head well before this.

I've listening to it with one ear, and watching it off an on.

It's their right.
But what Israel is doing is wrong.

This has nothing to do with Jewish people.
This is about what the powers in Israel are doing.

Killing 11,000+ Civilians is just not justified.

As for the US Right Wing all of a sudden being pro-Jewish has more to do with trying to peel off some votes, and more cynically, providing more sales for the Arms industry.

retail/foodservice workers getting shitty with customers during business hours for simply being customers sucks no matter what position youre in, and ive been the patron, the employee, and the owner.

There ya, go.

A good owner or manager would refuse service to someone like that.
It's well within their power.

Allowing your employes to be treated like shit, is bad management.
Plus the dude is probably holding up the line so he can have a tantrum.

Do they sell Pizzas from a dungeon?
Is Hillary there?
These are the questions...

Ahh, didn't catch it.
