RoadRunnerAerospace Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Not trying to bring relationship problems here or anything but.... First break up, ever (sorta kinda, we're friends now). Quite frankly I was expecting a lot worse than what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called a "Man Cave" here. Sanctuary. Hallowed ground. Do not disturb. Get out. Go away. I like it messy just the way it is. Every man should have one, at least one, room in the house that's his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Man Cave" ... lol. well, i didn't have a gender specific plan of life in mind, there are ladies who live the same way, but of course, in a certain way, that is how one can see it. How about "an individualist's cave", or "my home is my castle". Apart from the "social" aspect, the own house is also financially a declaration of independence. Apart from the bubble that popped in the US in the early 2000s, real estate values have always been stable or even climbing. Which is no guarantee for the future of course. But if you expect a higher inflation rate for the years to come, do it now. But only with a good part of own money.

CatastrophicFailure Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Followed a Tesla S most of the way home last night, driven by a dipstick from California on his dang cell phone the whole time. Who drove like a dipstick from California on his cell phone the whole time. Funny thing is, I could actually tell when he switched the Autopilot on, and the car suddenly started driving right.

Nivee~ Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Woah.. I just realized that my country's colonial history post 1700s is some Game of Thrones level stuff... I mean there's treachery, violence and the protagonist, whomsoever it might be, just can't win! You could make a franchise out of this, a whole new cinematic universe, and it would be earning billions! Also I was asked out in the most weird but yet amazing ways possible!! So there's this guy who I discovered is good at blender. He knows about my space love, and made a beautiful Apollo variant in blender, rendered it and sent it's pic to me, and asked if I was free for lunch tomorrow!! I haven't replied yet...

Well, they made a wildly-successful rap musical out of the life of a 18th-century politician, so anything's possible I suppose. Get writing, your first billion isn't going to earn itself.

We had lunch, then I taught him how to play KSP, we landed on Mun and Minmus in a single mission! Bill and Val died though , the return capsules parachutes didn't open fast enough. All this time, my elder brother was trying to be a jerk to my guy, and my Mom sent him back to his room. And my Dad was containing his emotions, and if he were pushed even an inch further, I am pretty sure his anger would make the entire Pacific Ring Of Fire explode simultaneously! I asked Mom if he(my guy) could stay for dinner, and then dad (almost) exploded "LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES!!".

It might not have been a phone, my dad rented one in the states and said the enormous ipad in the centre dash was highly distracting. One imagines that it is very tempting to a certain type of driver to pay attention to that instead of the road. Not much practical difference to being on the phone though.

roboslacker Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Today I had a serious crisis when my laptop stoped working altogether. It stayed non functional until my brother took a look at it, and found that it was just out of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
