Parliament's been slighting castles, and I think I heard someone decapitating a king. 2 minutes ago, GDJ said: Ah yes, the Uprising of the British Colonies in North America. Wait. What are you Canadians getting up to now? 1(Civil War was the first thing that came into my head, since I've been watching a documentary that involved the Civil War. No, not that one, I mean another one.) Edited July 5, 2018 by razark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncongruousGoat Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'm in the DC area for the summer, and I ended up watching the big DC fireworks show from Arlington. The prevailing wind is blowing westward here, and so many fireworks got set off that the air started smelling like burnt powder from where I was watching, nearly two miles away from the Washington Monument. Heck of a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Couldn't see anything myself, yard is surrounded by trees. But I sure can hear it. It's been a constant low rumbling in the distance for the last few hours, like someone said, sounds like a war zone. Taking writing notes. So of course, I had to return fire: Spoiler And I discovered this exists: Yes, that's a chicken that breathes fire and farts smoke... into a balloon... Second launch attempt went rather Kerbal... ...one might say the launch pad suffered a... catastrophic failure... ...leading to one minor casualty due to broken glass...

TheSaint Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well, we had our fireworks-less 4th of July yesterday. Couldn't even barbecue because of the fire restrictions. (Although amusingly all of the vendors selling BBQ and burgers at the city-sponsored 4th event were mysteriously exempted.) Went over to a friend's house and ran a session of our ongoing GURPS campaign. The players fought their way through a ruined fortress infested with Orcs. It was a late night, but everyone had fun.

Sorabh Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 So, this did not happen today, but yesterday. I was sleeping and dreaming of a million kittens meowing at the same time, you know, that high pitched meowing that kittens make? I gradually woke up from my sleep and realized that those meowing kittens were not in my head! I followed the sound and found this!! I am taking care of them. They are not allowed into the house,but I feed and water them regularly! The black one (Tuxedo) is very, very shy!! And the other one, whom I call Bushido, is a bit more adventurous.... The mother is very friendly, and I think wants access into my house for a safer haven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I would, if I could. At one point, there were about 5 cats in my home! I have raised about 8 cats from kittenhood to tough cats They leave the nest thereafter, leaving behind memories and cat hair! And my family don't want anymore cat hair, anywhere! Also, there is one more kitten whom I found about minutes after posting the pic, the one I call 'Kaido'. I though Bushido was tough, but compared to Kaido, he is, at best, a marshmallow . If someone observes the three of them co-ordinating an attack on a foe (A twig that I wave about near them) he/she can understand why the most prominent predators in this world are felines.

I hear that... especially the cat hair part... lol. I have three right now, including her majesty; She's our newest, and if you've ever seen this "Swiffer" commercial... yeah, this is my cat!!! Anyway, I totally understand what you're saying, I absolutely love cats, but the last thing I would want to find first thing in the morning is a mom and kittens on my doorstep.

Believe it or not, that adorable little fur-ball was heading to a shelter if the owners couldn't find her a new home... and I couldn't let that happen. So we took her in... and she promptly took over... how could I resist this goofy face??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSEP Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Today i used a credit card for the first time, im going to Berlin tomorrow, and they told us that carrying around cash isn't the best idea, so i had to get my hands on a credit card. I decided to try it out at McDonalds, so i went there by bike, and ordered a Cheeseburger and a small Coke using that big touchscreen thing. When the things were ready, i noticed the cup for my coke wasn't inside a bag, so i asked the employee for a larger bag, and he comes up with a holder . I decided not to ask again. At that moment i also realized i left the credit card in the touchscreen thing, so quickly pulled it back out again, and at that moment everyone was looking at me weird because they probably thought i stole it. Anyways, i went back to my bicycle to go back home, and now we have a little bit of a problem, see i have this thing on the front of my bike were a basket is supposed to be fitted on, but i don't have a basket. I tried it with bags before, and bags, even the small ones lock right into place without falling, now however, i have a cup of coke and a holder that i have to put on there, that will make everything unstable. So i just put it on there and just went for driving carefully instead of finding a better position for it. And yes, shortly after, i dropped my cup of coke, in the middle of the road while driving. So what do i do now? Do i leave it there and forget about, and risk getting it thrown at me by one of those diehard anti-litter pals, or just run towards it and put it in the trash can like an idiot? Well, i decided i would put it in the trash like an idiot, you know, doing good things to save the world i geuss. After that i went home and ate my burger while reading AtomicRockets. The lesson of today: You can just cycle with one hand idiot, oh and don't for get your card! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0111narwhalz Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 After a brief hiatus of a couple of months (thanks to the ToS thing, I was actually able to stay away for that whole time), I returned to the KSP forums. I was greeted by a large list of things to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
