The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijacking🔫 thread🧵 ⁉

[anon3825968]

I’m not a metric devotee. I’m agnostic. I use what does the job best for me. Standard speak to me for everyday things because I was raised in an environment where people would go “Wow! A foot of snow!” but would look at you like a dead goldfish if you told them 30 centimeters of snow.

Now, for anything serious, precise, and that isn’t meant to be relatable by other people or elicit an emotional reaction, I’ll use metric, because standard is stupid and I’m not stupid.

So for instance, I’ll say I drove 100 mph and I feel that was fast. Or my car got 50 mpg during that trip and I’m impressed at how very economical it is for a diesel. But I’ll always ALWAYS say I was going 44.45 m/s on average, because most likely I’m using that unit to calculate something else and I don’t like headaches.

And if I think about it before speaking and I know I’m talking to a strict metrichead, I’ll just speak metric. It’s just that I don’t always think about it

Do you actually have a broadsword

Who doesn’t? I have a few… USA has guns, I have a much more personal, sophisticated murder room…

I actually have desire for a simple and not crazy expensive but also not costume grade katana, but finding that level is difficult

“Murder room” makes me think of this

When I used to work the range, I had a fairly large, but transportable range bag, and I prided myself on always having the odd tool or part someone needed to get them back up and running or help make something they were doing easier

Venture Brothers reference

I would call my range bag my “magic murder bag”
It’s like Mary poppins, but more gun powder and lead

I have a wide range. Cheap ones I use for Halloween pumpkin destruction, a couple I use for tree trimming (this past Christmas tree got a good slashing)
And I have nicer ones that I tend to play with and pose with for in and keeping my daughters future love interests at bay.

Here’s a sample of my pile:) there are many more in various places around the house.

So boy, he says, while drawing a stone down the already razor sharp edge, tell me about yourself.

[Backpackingvet]

The one I like the most is likely your mini wacky waving inflatable tube man.

He doesn’t help much for self defense though.

I’ve often told the wife that I reserve the right to do the “cleaning” a gun routine

But in my “scenario” I would have the offending boy help me with some ballistic calculations

Boy!, take this out side and hit this button

Ok good , I’ve shot to 1050 yards in these conditions

…her knowing me usually asks

“But what if he likes guns and asks you gun questions?”

…well then our daughter gets married earlier than planned

@Eyeux

Neither. Or both.

I see. It must be that I don’t fully understand the first part: “Keep the belief system to oneself.” I let you to unfold it rather than me making wrong presumptions.

@Eyeux

You are also talking about (…)

No, this time it wasn’t the dominant point of my examples.

@Eyeux

If Philosophy is “the cooking method”, then what about people who discard philosophy and ethics in favour of tradition and moral?

I don’t alienate tradition or moral from philosopy.

@Eyeux

And similarly, if “Religion is how you eat”, then would that mean that people without a religion do not eat?

No, that would mean having a choice between eating with chopstick or spoon if you prefer.

@Eyeux

And (…) ass…

You are bind by rules everywhere. You just mentioned moral and tradition.

@Eyeux

People can no longer do things as they please, because now they must follow the facilities about how to engage with such facilities.

??? Where did you get this from?
You don’t have free will by default since Amal is twisting the magic knob, remember?

Debate, I am up for.
But I keep the exclusive right for my gf to argue with me.

PROBLEM

SOLVED

[Eriequiet]

But why is he holding the flamethrower upside down?

Possibly better expansion chamber?

But that thing is designed to be held other way up

Scratch that they make different versions

My buddy has one of the above, and it’s a blast

So I noticed blocks 4-6 on the T55 aren’t used for anything when it’s configured as a 26 bit HID card (the type we use for ID cards at my place of employment) so I’ve decided to fill them with a note for anyone curious enough to dump a card.

B4 43555354
B5 4f4d204d
B6 4144442e

Run all those together and then do a hex to ASCII conversion and you’ll get “CUSTOM MADE.”

I’m open to other ideas for something I can slip into someone’s card.

That, my good sir, is quite a nice pile!

You got me cackling loud in the middle of a zoom call.
Well done!

Btw, while I’m at it…

Has I attempted to reply with reactji’s to one of @Pilgrimsmaster’s posts and they are just not working today.

Also… has anyone noticed they have a default white background? i.e. they look ugly AF in a darkmode forum:

ps: sorry about the awfull pic.

@LordSethos2000

I have a wide range.

I. Totally. Love. Blades.

Hell, that’s a really nice collection… the last picture reminds me of SoulCalibur a bit (yeah, one of my guilty pleasures…), and I love the “Blade”-style sword second from top… I wanted to get that in tanto-length, but didn’t find it again…

[anon3825968]

Speaking of Michelle, I’m curious: is she wearing any implant?

Not that that has anything to do with anything

[Satur9]

@anon3825968

wearing any implant

So strange hearing you say that, especially considering you consider them as permanent as possible.

[anon3825968]

I wear glasses and they’re kind of permanently affixed to my face most of the time too

I use “wear” because RFID implants don’t interact with my body in any way, shape or form. In other words, they’re in a permanent pocket under my skin instead of being in a temporary pocket in my pants. But I still only wear em: I carry them around and they do their own thing.

Magnets on the other hand… If I had one, I wouldn’t say that, because it’d extend my sensory abilities. Different thing.

[Eriequiet]

@anon3825968

But I still only wear em: I carry them around and they do their own thing.

I think that’s underselling it quite a bit

You may still consider them totally separate from your body because it’s removable,

But to… I would guess most, but I leave room to be wrong

To most, it’s part of your body, it was something I added and now it’s part of me

Yes I can remove it, but that’s no different than being able to remove a breast implant, it was added and part of their “persona”

I think it’s more than just carrying something around

[anon3825968]

That’s just how I see things. Sorry, if saying “wearing implants” upsets anyone, I’ll quit saying it I just can’t think of implanted transponders as anything other than impossible-to-lose keys.
