So, as our school is very religious, I can't eat meat for the next 39 days. Which means no pie for approximately 6 weeks. Yay? Wow, the whole season? That does seem... more strict than I’m familiar with. Not just on Fridays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep . Fortunately my actual family isn't that religious so I can have meat for dinner and stuff, but just no meat items from the tuckshop.

Cadet_BNSF Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It's not today, but on Saturday I was helping my dad clean out his closet, and I found an Apogee Components 1/70th scale Saturn V. My dad said I could have it and I started working on it the next day. That rocket has been sitting in the closet for nearly 20 years, and is worth almost $300, unbuilt, which blows my mind.

TheKosanianMethod Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 My church does "Frydays" during Lent and they make some of the best fried cod ever. Golden brown with hush puppies, fries, and coleslaw. Add a Coke and it's heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a big old steak for Valentine's dinner tonight with my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex_NL Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) At work just like every other morning at seven o'clock sharp we receive a truck with fresh produce. And this time of year at seven in the morning it's about 0 C. It's cold. The driver climbs out of his cab. And in this case he's .. well, lets call him multiple shades darker than a healthy sun tan. Please note I am quoting him, I am NOT discriminating. I even toned it down a bit. "Oh man, it's cold." He shivers. "this is no weather for a black guy." Immediately followed by my reply: "Hey, that's pretty much what we say during a heat wave." Both of us nearly lost it laughing out loud.

I know... and as I'm ASD and like everything to be in order it will be really difficult. Yesterday when I got home, as soon as I had finished my homework I cooked myself half a box worth of chicken tenders and watched Star Trek on netflix as I was really hungry (I ended up only having my apple slices for lunch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubinator Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yesterday I performed in the school talent show. Everyone expected me to just solve a Rubik's cube, but I improvised with the themes for Earth, the Moon, and Mars on piano, then switched to the SMW Athletic Rag. The audience clapped to the music, but did a very poor time keeping tempo. They sped up because they were clapping the off beats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countries that conventionally do a dd-mm-yyyy date format should celebrate Pi day on July 22nd.. 22-7-20XX... 22/7 being the fraction representation of Pi. So you're probably fine.

NSEP Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I suddenly have the urge to make a Mars rover game, with signal delay, the snail-like speed, and everything. Realism ftw. I would also love to do fly-by missions, taking pictures, and mapping unknown planets and moons, that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delay Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Timewarp? 1 minute ago, NSEP said: Realism ftw. Although, timewarp might be justified by impatience (or risk of death on the way). After all, in RO I wouldn't want to wait years in real time per mission as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delay Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Had a nice discussion with my spanish teacher today. Apparently, not saying a phrase because I'm afraid I will be laughed at if I don't get it right is "highly arrogant". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
