Speaking of parties, doesn't it suck how FPTP voting means we can only ever really have two and anybody who doesn't like them still has to run as one of them?

0/10 Every time I'm in a desert I want nothing more than to be anywhere, ANYWHERE else.

Boring. (Just started a new part-time job, shit work since my state has NO job market, packing boxes.)

Because those are the standards our society enforces.

Why do parents think abstinence-only education is going to do anything but leave the kids unprepared and misinformed when they inevitably have sex?

YOU did. If I may quote:

Try using needle-nose pliers next time... And solder them shut with lead-free solder. (or TiG weld them shut)

And as for your new idea, I'll let my friend Hank explain my opinion to you.

The method I am using requires less money, less equipment, forms rounder, more even rings, doesn't compromise the metal by heating it (this is armour, after all, and your method would make the metal brittle) and is considerably easier to do in my environment (I'm doing this at my computer desk, while watching early Dragon Ball, I can't use that kind of equipment here). I am wrapping them around a dowel rod, and bending them by putting my thumb against the wire and rotating the rod by the locking pliers. My thumb both forces the wire to bend and guides it so that it doesn't end up running over itself or being misshapen. This method is cheap, fast, efficient and effective, the only downsides are it takes a considerable amount of force to bend steel, and all that force is being put into a very small space on my thumb. Making the wire hot would not make my issue, which is the pain and numbness caused by all that pressure on my thumb for so long, any better. In fact, if would be much worse. And don't suggest gloves. I NEED the precision granted by my bare hands to shape the coils right, leather gloves would slip and move, making it harder to manipulate the wire. This is a stupid idea.

And I'm getting pretty damned good at this. I've made about 3,000 links, still have a pair of hundred-plus-link coils to cut, and now I'm out of wire.

Granted, but the conversations are all quite dull and uninformative. (Mine is a terrible conversationalist, let me tell you.)

I wish humans didn't have this stupid idea that you need to work to live. Because there's soon going to be no work.

Nothing, because the human body cannot support flight as it's too heavy and lacks the muscle mass in any region the wings would go to produce sufficient lift.

If you knew society was going to collapse, and nobody was listening to you?

War of the Worlds, by HG Wells. So much better than any of the movies it's not even funny.

How long do you think it'll be before you, personally, lose your job to a machine?

Used to have a less obnoxious avatar.

Doomed.

If you don't want people to call you stupid, quit proving them right.

So you think it's a stupid idea to use a tool to do work easier, or that there are other ways of thinking/doing?

I think it's stupid to WELD THE PLIERS IN FUCKING PLACE, because I need to MOVE THEM FREQUENTLY to put MORE FUCKING WIRE IN, you DAFT GIT.

Well, that's a special kind of stupid. Oh, and English isn't his best subject either, apparently.

So you're trying to imply that despite not knowing anything about me at all, I'm "stupid"? You really need to look into a more positive outlook, and a better attitude towards others. (hopefully you aren't in customer service)

So, it's been quite a while since the voice acting was done. What's going on with 58?

What?

I think you're joking. But with you, I can never really be sure.

Knowing him he probably isn't, he once suggested that vaginal inversion was an actual method of FTM sexual reassignment surgery.

Well, that's a special kind of stupid. Oh, and English isn't his best subject either, apparently.

Who needs a great conversational partner when you have a woman who's good looking, great in bed, brilliant and a hell of a conversationalist? (And by the way, I totally have that.)

Okay. My friend Steven picked up a new hobby: Making chainmail. And I'm helping. Let me explain the process:

1. BEND STEEL WITH BARE HANDS.

2. Take a pair of tin snips and try to cut it into rings.

3. Find out the tin snips are completely blunt and can't cut them.

4. FUCK IT, use them anyway. Even though that means I am now using a blunt hand tool to CRUSH STEEL.

5. Get one or two rings per press until I work through one coil, about fifty rings.

6. Realize there are eight more coils.

7. RAGE QUIT.

EDIT:

I actually went back to it and got the other four hundred rings handled. My hands are numb.

On the plus side, chainmail is just awesome. It feels awesome to hold, and it feels awesome to wear. So it's all worth it.

Refuse to answer on account of a major terminology failure. (Electrocution isn't just a shock. It is, specifically, death by electric shock.)

A member of the opposite sex (or same sex, if you'd prefer) that wants sex but isn't interested in physical affection of any other form, or a member of the opposite (or same) sex that wants other forms of physical affection but isn't interested in sex? (Believe it or not, I find that a difficult question to answer.)

Who needs the go ahead and move downstairs into storage B when you have an alley to live in?

I completely forgot this thread existed. All the mods are done, for a couple months now. Remove anything in parenthesis and put them in the proper folders.

I appreciate feedback, of course.

Terror toddler strikes again! Baby infiltrates the Whitehouse lawn during Obama's speech on the bombings in Iraq! I swear I am NOT making this up! The statement from Edwin Donovan was as follows:

"We were going to wait until he learned to talk to question him, but in lieu of that he got a timeout and was sent on his way with his parents."

You know, maybe it's a sign that our nation has gotten WAY too militaristic when everybody I knew was really, really surprised they didn't murder the kid, but that's a subject for serious topics. Anyway, it's a cute story and I just HAD to share it.
