So, we'll see how that goes. :P
Not sure if funny reference, or actual curiosity.... or both.
The way TM's work is, as mentioned, that they have figured something out about the nature of the world around them. Something fundamental, like gravity, electricity, physics, something that underlies the nature of reality itself. Using this awareness, that no one else possesses, they can shape reality, to conform with their "truth". No matter what their truth relates to, they can shape any aspect of reality. This is measured in spheres, Life, Mind, Forces, and Matter.
If a non mage sees the TM work their magic, the seed of Jealousy can be planted. These people become obsessed with the TM, and figuring out what their secret is. They are not aware that they are TM's, or that they possess a secret, but they do realise they can change reality in some way, and become possessed by the need to discover how, by any means necessary.
As long as the TM is the only one to possess their "truth", their secret, as it is referred to in game, their powers work. If they share their secret with others, they lose their powers. If only one person knows the secret, the TM powers return to that person. That person need not be the original TM. The benefit of revealing their secret is that, being something fundamentally part of the world, the increased understanding the secret brings usually advances the wealth of knowledge of humanity in some way. As such, there are forces in the world that seek out TM's, to try and "encourage" them to reveal their secret.
Nikola Tesla's history is not clear, though his secret was that of electricity. We have learned that he was a TM, as revealed to us by the organisation trying to encourage our own TM to reveal his secret. He lived far longer than his physical age would suggest. Whether the organisation forced him to reveal his secret, or he chose to do so willingly, is unknown.

FaWTL action figures. He even has six out of seven of the Freehold DMs; he's just lacking the very rare Six Million Dollar Black Dynamite version with Bionic Grip feature.
(It was recalled immediately after uptight parents discovered it made the clothes on the Jaime Sommers figure automatically fall off.) ;)
:-D
Thank you, sladdi.

There's a funky line out there put out by Andis initially and copied by many others that uses a gold-tone screen to combat razor bumps in addition to ingrown hairs supposedly, but they do nothing for me in the slightest- hair is too thick. I did find ONE exception to the rule though,which is interestingly enough from Germany, put out by Braun. It's this weird little double a battery powered wet/dry razor with a funky-shaped screen(hexagonal instead of circular) with holes large enough to let in my thick hairs when first trimmed by my plug-in outliner. I use that on rare occasion when my skin is VERY sensitive before I break out the drop-razor/butterfly razor, but even that one is starting to show it's age- I think I need a new razor for it as I've had it for several years- it more "polishes" my hairs instead of cutting them, which still makes them easier to pick up by the handle razor. Wahl is an okay company overall, and they occasionally have a rechargable razor with multiple heads that's good, but the problem with rechargables I find is that they get weaker as the years go on- I need a good, wall plug-in electric razor for the sheer power it offers for my nubian/kushite/whatever hair. I'm looking at the andis fade master- sworn upon by black barbers for years, and used in concert with an outliner or edger.Freehold DM wrote:Diane got me a Whal (sp?) beard trimmer for Father's day.

It's a little over a hundred bucks, but the t-outliner I have currently isn't really made for heads and I'm starting to really need a regular trimming instead of constant shaving to give my scalp a bit of a break.I must shop for lawn mowers, so good night all!
Take care!
Cool. I have had good luck with Braun and Remington screen shavers, but I haven't had to shave daily since my last refinery outage in Tacoma.

BTW does this look like the right menu
Sure does! Another convert!
FHDM and I will usually split a 10 piece white meat order, split between soy-garlic and spicy. (He likes the spicy, I like the soy-garlic.) If you're with friends, splitting a larger order is a good value. The appetizers are all delicious. I am partial to the zucchini fries.

BTW, as there doesn't seem to be any organized FAWTL activity on PFO I have decided to throw my lot in with these guys for the land rush. They seem like a friendly and laid back group.
Also this Welcome to the settlement of Tavernhold!

Of course that was in Korea in 1986.
That was the last time I had it too, a buddy of mine just came back from Korea. He said it had formaldihyde(sp?) in it

I don't know if they have improved their quality control now, but back in the day it was a total crap shoot. It might have anything from barbiturates to formaldehyde.

Morning one and all. Hope everyone has a good day today, and is doing well in general. The overcloud has returned to us, sheltering us from the terrible heat of the sky fire. Jury's still out on whether it will drown us for our insolence of enjoying its absence. Either way, Thursday! The weekend approaches. I hope the rest of the everyone's work week is smooth and swift.
Morning! I hope today is very good for you! And, here, the humidity has returned in spades.

Next weeks we drive into NOLA to christen the princess. When we did this for the boy, we had a party afterwards. Sadly, it doesn't look like that's going to be the case this time around. I have not had time to plan or work anything out. I could still pull something off, but with just over a week to go, I'm not sure how many people would respond.
I hope it goes well, and I am sorry for the potential lack of party. I hope people respond and are there.

I am a recent convert to mass effect myself, as I got a 360 about a year or two after it was really big. But I was able to sit down and play allllllllllllll of mass effect back to back to back and it's awesome. I have some pics of asari and quarian cosplayers I took at a con several years ago and only now do I appreciate it.
I love the asari bartender in 2. I LOVE HER. LOVE HER. LOVE HER.
The asari bartender is one of the better characters! Just too bad she didn't get more lines.

It is seriously maligned. Yet, when I looked on the official forums for the game, it's the only nWoD being played. Everyone else plays Exalted there.
