Walked around in the sun for 6 and a half hours today in a long sleeve shirt and I think I still got a sun burn lol

You too?

2 summers ago I was working at a local golf course for 3 weeks, 7 hour shifts (6 AM to 1 PM), despite the hot weather, I wore a hoodie about half the time (mornings were chilly), and still managed to get my arms significantly darker than the rest of my skin.

I now prefer thin long sleeved shirts for summers, not only because of sunlight, but mosquitoes.

So the economic situation has fallen this low to justify letting volunteers to develop the area for a low price over actually doing it professionally...

I guess it could give a vague idea about what should they do, but if they take it too much word-to-word, I can't see it being a good solution.

The Google translation seems fine. Better than usual. Read the original through and it appears correct (the original article's length though is a joke; not much in-depth information).

I also think the prizes are funny: from Iron Maiden, to a 1 hour sport simulation and finnishing (see what I did there) with a relaxing Spa treatment. Quite a contrasty bunch.

The prices seem silly because that's all they can afford to give as prizes...

Really though, the economy of this country is sliding down slowly but surely. I'm not surprised if it eventually falls on the level of the rest of Eastern European countries.

... well no. How do you think a Yakuza would look at another Yakuza if they were wearing a pinkie prosthetic after cutting it off? I feel like that'd be taken very disagreeably.

 

I'm pretty sure only ex-Yakuza would get the prosthetic, and odds are, they lost the pinkie to leave.

humorous and factual. me gusta.

I'm pretty sure one doesn't loose just their finger when leaving... Just like with many organized crime syndicates, the only way to leave by their standards, is by death. Which is why ex-members try to hide from them if possible.

That being said, a lot of ex-Yakuza have had yubitsume done to them (act of cutting their finger off), since a lot of ex-Yakuza were low-ranking members; apparently higher ranked members don't need to do that, they simply go down in rank. Guessing it might be to keep newcomers and less experienced members in-line...

Though, whether or not this is true can be questionable, the more likely people to quit are said lower-ranked members. The rest are more likely to just continue their career.

I havent used it much because its my light Traveling bag that i can have my DSLR in, i have a Think Tank sling o matic 30 (...or was it 20?) as well where i have my Camera gear all the time, and its my dedicated traveling Camera bag, but if i want to go light i use my Messenger bag, afterall, no point taking everything if i dont need everything right?

For that price, that bag better be durable as hell, be modular and have a ton of space...

Most I have ever spent on a bag is 20€. Now starting to favor older stuff without decals, instead of the newer bags, which often make you a walking billboard due to their decals. I just prefer their lower price and their looks.

You find anything?

Naw not yet, and speaking of that bag, i need to move my stuff to it and start using it :,D 
Then again i bought it for traveling, not daily work use.


@Vitalius Yo, i bough myself a PlayStation TV, any Ps Vita games you can suggest? 

Can either of you two show / describe how's that messenger bag, how well does it fair in real world use, how rugged it is and was it pricey?

Just curious... I may have a bit too many bags at the moment, so not looking to get another...

The tagging seems to be adjusted for the dark theme, but it doesn't matter, it works.

Pardon the potato quality. Guess compressing image an uneven number unsharpens the image colossaly.

You can't make it more simple than that.   It's Tenchi-verse, and the only point is to hurt your head for humor.  

 

Spot on for a wiki.

 

As best as I can explain it.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

The Choushin, Washu/Tokimi/Tsunami, are the writers and avatars of the writers like Tori-Bot, The Presence, and TOAA aka examples.

 

Z/Zero is the first incarnation and vessel bridge created by Tokimi to bring Yahweh into a fictional verse, but she failed with that.

 

You have Tokimi's other project meant to detain the power of Kami Tenchi/Yahweh aka that also failed.

 

Tsunami, on the other hand, made a better bridge vessel(Tenchi Masaki) and a better detaining officer (the Counter Actor who was originally Sasami+Ayeka's mother).

 

So, the writers/the Choushin are these omnipotent goddesses that want to bring, basically the Abrahamic deity, that created them into the fictional 22 hyperdimensional universes of Tenchi's realities.

 

Now, Tokimi and Tsunami have Z/Zero and Tenchi Masaki fight with the power of Kami Tenchi known as the Wings of the Light Hawk which is the energy of everything.  Z has more wings than Masaki, so he overpowers him then cuts him in half.  This brings Yahweh from our universe into theirs aka Kami Tenchi.  Kami Tenchi then begins to destroy all 22 universes at once simply by moving.  The Counter Actor gets pissed that Tenchi Masaki may have died, so she starts to choke out one of the omnipotent goddesses/the writers.  Tenchi Masaki begs Kami Tenchi to stop, so he basically goes to the Counter Actor, kisses her, and makes her stop while making her realize that he can utterly destroy her.  He then bitch slaps Z through 11 dimensions, and makes him Masaki's brother in the 12th/makes Tsunami do that last part then the whole War on Geminar thing happens where the Light Hawk Sword/Kami Tenchi's Sword kills an immortal named Gaia.

 

So, if you read the spoiler with the images in it in my last post you'd understand that the writers are basically trying to draw Yahweh/the Abrahamic deity into their fictional universes because they cannot accept that there is a power beyond their omnipotence which is equal to that of the One Above All from Marvel.  They also want to understand the contradiction that there is a power beyond their omnipotence.

 

 

Now, to rank the tiers!

  Reveal hidden contents

 

1.  Super gods!  Only Kami Tenchi is on this tier of power and omnipotence as he's the omnipotent deities of our actual non-fictional universe.

 

2.  Yin and Yang/The Brothers/Lord Marvel and Lord DC are close, though not on his tier.

 

3.  The Counter Actor and that unknown lil girl Tokimi created as both can take out avatar gods easily, but not on the two tiers above them.  This is a tier for beings made to counter act the power of the highest gods from our universe. 

 

4. Z/Zero is a being that cannot be stopped by avatar gods/the writers.  Masaki is on this tier as he has the potential to bring out more light hawk wings.  You can also put any character who can kill the writers on this tier.

 

5.  Avatar gods/the writers themselves.  The One Above All, Tori-Bot, The Choushin/Choushen, and The Presence.

 

6.  Your omnipotent non-avatars like Lord of Nightmares, Morningstar Lucifier, Pre-recton Beyond, and Living Tribunal.

 

7.  Your basic reality busters that are not omnipotent like Virgo Shaka, Athena, and Hades.

 

8.  Multiple galaxy busters = God Clothed Pegases Seiya using meteor fist and Whis as well as most of the celestials.

 

9.  Galaxy Busters = All gold saints alone outside of Virgo Shaka(means next to god), Full potential, Superman around New Earth time, Galactus, Rune King Thor with the Odin Force, Sailormoon's strongest form was able to do this, and Beerus the Destroyer according to Toriyama.

 

10.  Solar System wreckers = the potential of all Toriyama characters that aren't actually gods like Goku, Vegeta, and even Perfect Cell which is backed by the Daizenshuu/guide books by the writers.  70s Hulk can clap them away.  Also, the silver saints can do this.

 

9.  Multiple planet busters = Bronze Saints, World War Hulk, and Skaar/Son of Hulk.

 

8.  Planet busters = Orion early New 52, New 52 early Superman, Doctor Who's Tardis, Master Roshi, and Sailor Saturn

 

 

I dont' feel like going lower than that, but characters lesser than that are from One Piece, Bleach, and most other fictions as I want to be very very vague on that.

My brain just stopped when trying to read that, and I failed to comprehend it...

I should probably try to not apply real life logic to anime, that equation simply doesn't work. Anime has its own logic (or lack thereof)...

Not sure why discussing guns would get a thread closed but whatever I guess.

 

Anyways the only reason I had europe on my mind was because my friend keeps linking me videos and pictures of some guy(?) he ran into on omegle(or some other garbage) who dresses up as an anime girl, has a finnish flag behind him, and has multiple assault rifles. Maybe its you (or @Typho) and you just haven't told us that you like dressing up like an anime girl. Not that I would judge or anything it might be fun, especially to mess with people on the internet like this guy was.

Edit: apparently this is him

Hmm... Either that video is from some other country, or that's an airsoft rifle... While hunting rifles - magazine capacity capped at 5 (+1 in camber) for bolt-action rifles and 2 (+1) for semi-autos - are relatively easy to get a licence for, good luck getting large caliber cartridges. For hunting the largest common one I have noticed is .308 Winchester, and largest I have seen sold legally is "only" .338 Lapua Magnum, which is already seen as "overkill" for hunting.  Fun fact: there's a town named "Lapua", where these is a large ammunition factory.

So, I finally get the point of Kami Tenchi.

 

[Wall of text]

I'm kind of curious who here are interested of these info dumps. No offense intended, but I am interested to know if people here read all of those and tr to remember it all.

I read through all posts, nothing skipped, those posts are a bit confusing though...

As for constructive criticism @valdyrgramr, you should probably divide the text into sections to make it easier to read. Unless it's my short attention span at play, then... Don't mind me, just voicing my opinion.

Oh well... At least those posts are a lot more on-topic than what I ever post here...

That's... Interesting, to say at least.

Beats "Logi" at least...

I"m actually quite surprised that your tape measures only have imperial. I have honestly never seen a measuring device with only one or the other. They always have both up here. I guess American manufacturers are too prideful or something.

Don't you live somewhere in Europe or am I delusional? To be fair though if just glossing over /k/ is anything to go by, most people end up with whatever gun they want if they put a little effort into acquiring it.

The laws regarding firearms, other weapons and self-defense varies within Europe from country to country, much like it varies in US state to state.Though the European Union has been trying to make it the same everywhere... by banning them all, and hoping that it'll decrease criminality.

They were trying to hurry it up in the confusion right after the terrorist attack in Paris, thankfully a few countries disagreed with the new guideline, I don't know for certain what countries did, but at least Northern Europe pretty much turned that guideline down. What that guideline was about: only authority (police and government officials) could legally carry firearms, and this excluded everyone else, from civilians (for example hunters) to military. The opinions were mixed, to say at least...

I might be wrong in some (if not all) regards to this particular topic, so don't trust my words. Also lets hope this doesn't spark another argument that closes the thread... Topics like these have a tendency to do that.

Just read though all of the 25 - 30 pages of this thread, and all I can say is: this new forum is a clusterf*ck to read. Nothing is as clearly labeled as before, while notification floods are now gone you can't know exactly how many you have (relevant if following notification floods like this thread), the amount of space wasted is horrible... It'll take quite a while to get used to this. Not all changes are bad, but it's still rough on the edges.

I keep forgetting her full name... It's not even that hard, but my memory is just horrible.

If it was here: Life sentence. It's "only" 20 years sentence here, and in a prison that's essentially a mediocre hotel you aren't allowed to leave (and you can start to beg pardon around 15 years).

If in US: Death sentence.

the price lines up but it's hard to believe we're talking about the same calculator

 

are you sure it was a cas cx?

there's no point in using one in any non-stem major in college, let alone HS.

Not this calculator in particular? Well, not exactly this, but the CAS version...

Pardon the very low resolution image. Didn't have RX100 with me today.

Yeah, our non-math students were forced to buy the CAS versions of these for some odd reason (and students had to pay it all by themselves), even though TI-84's or other cheaper calculators could have done the job.

Steam roller might be a more merciful death than hundreds of mopeds...

That being said, both should work. While mopeds might be light, that doesn't mean it won't kill you. People have died when hordes of people have ran over them hysterically, so mopeds shouldn't be all too different.

Also just dropped 150$ on a TI CAS CX srs bznss calculator

hopefully the learning curve won't kilimanjaro coming from my relic of an 84+

 

@Jacona tf do u use?

mildly excited to see what kind of witchcraft I can pull with this thing

I remember the first time an 84 blew my mind by condensing a matrix to solve a system of a 5 vector equation

shit saved me like 20 minutes of number crunching

We had to get those calculators as well for our non-math classes in high school. Used it for that first year I was in non-math, until I got kicked to brief math for being rather horrible at math.

Ironically, my mathematical skills have started to deteriorate more quickly ever since I went to brief math. And after that first year, I never had to touch that calculator again, and had it basically forgotten in my backpack for 1,5 years until I finally dug it back up yesterday...

150€ well spent...

I dont swallow them or anything, I dont eat them, just nibble the ends off

I do swallow the nails... Am I weird?

Not sure if it's an addiction or just a habit that stuck... eating my own fingernails.

Which is the reason why I never need to cut my fingernails; they are perpetually short due to me chewing them every few days.

Yesterday bought a 16GB USB-drive, today the Sennheiser OMX 185 headphones I ordered 3 weeks ago finally arrived.

Of course, but you can't deny that you wouldn't want to be with someone you don't physically find yourself attracted to. It is debatable, though.

As if anyone with even half a brain would want to even befriend me? Good joke...

I don't really care that much for hair color tbh. I find white, blonde, brunette and black hair all the be good looking. Red is the least liked hair color in my opinion.

But again, better have some brains. I'd rather avoid idiots.

Where is the opinion for "I don't give a damn"?

I value brains over looks.

Someone pulled a knife on me this morning. Turns out i can still run 100m in 11ish(probably like 13or14) seconds. I know how to disarm a knife user especially if the blade is pointing upwards but that shit is risky, got the fuck out of there. On the downside im at home instead of being at college, ive never used the "someone tried to stab/rob me" reason before. 

Do you know if it was just some random person possibly hoping to get money from you, or if it was someone you know / a person who knows someone you know? (No need to answer this if you don't want to, just saying it now)

Your life is quite interesting, if nothing else... Still rooting for a book "Life of Brownninja97" to be written... (How many hundred pages ago was this discussion? I still remember it somehow...)

In our next english lesson we have to make a video about German stereotypes, but it's not allowed to take beer to school. How are we supposed to make a video about German stereotypes without beer???

Would be the same here... Although instead of being known for making good beer, there would only be annoying drunkards...

It might be easier to ask foreign people about stereotypes associated with your nationality. Though I can't think of anything stereotypical about today's Germany besides beer and precision engineering. Nothing easy (or cheap) to bring to school...

 

Pssst, One Plus Two (or One, or X).

I will never buy another Contract phone again. It's not just about "it's basically a loan", but also the customer service you get. 

 

#ScrewThat

Yeah, I tried to end my contract several times, as I didn't realise they didn't end the contract after the 24months, they just keep taking the payments until you tell them to stop. 

 

I still like my phone (HTC One M7), just it's a pain to update my music as the USB port is really particular about how the cable needs to be positioned. 

I could never understand the point of contract phones, and am still clueless.

Never had a phone that was bought on-contract nor have any of them been over 200€ up front. Plus, as usual, every phone I have had (apart from one Nokia 3110C (no, not the legendary 3310) a while back) is second-hand acquired...

I'm a cheapass when it comes to phones...

Your rig isn't outdated at all nor slow, i have an i7 980x, 1st gen ftw.

It's enough for my needs, just some people here would think that I really need to upgrade this "fossil".

As "outdated" and "slow" as you guys might see my rig, I'd rather save that money to pay rent, electricity, internet etc. bills in near future.

I wouldn't bother spending Even 5% of that sum on the rig. Would only get a newer GPU (running 550Ti now), a better case and quieter cooling. That's it, really.
