Just be aware - genetics plays a huge part. Even though one may have a healthy testosterone level, if the follicles aren't there, no beard for you.

Unless I were to go in for a beard transplant... Yes, that's a thing. But... No. Just no.

my dad has a permanent four o clock shadow and my uncle on my mom's side is capable of growing a thick beard. I have faith in my follicles.

All I play now is Pathfinder. And some iPhone games.

nooo

But I work at a toy store so I've seen enough Mine craft products to last several life times.


I used to.

Not so coincidentally, I lost all faith in humanity at the same time.

It's the music. I swear the soundtrack to that game is designed to sap away all happy feelings. >.>

And then kidlet wonders why I'm always asking him to turn down the background music...

And of course kidlet plays Minecraft. Because apparently asking if a tween plays minecraft is like asking if a bear poops in the woods.

I think the only time my nephew did not play minecraft was when he was visiting my wife and I. We kept him too busy with new york stuff.

Trust me, he was deconstructing the skyscrapers into small blocks in his mind figuring out how to convert them to Minecraft form.

Afternoon FaWtLy-folk. I hope everyone is having a good one. We went from non-stop rain for two days to bright, warm, and sunny today. I had no real complaints about either, though sunglasses are easier to pocket, and hence harder to forget, than the brolley.

We're going in the opposite direction, it's been sunny and warm for a couple weeks now, but starting tomorrow night we're expecting 3 days of rain and thunderstorms.

Do they have thunderstorms in Ireland?

I only ask because they're almost non-existent on the West Coast, five years in Seattle, saw lightning three times.

Not really, maybe once in a blue moon. At which point, everyone wigs the frik out, cause they happen so infrequently. Like, turn off all the electronics, it's the end of the world, panic. It's kinda hilarious. I love them, personally. They're exciting, and remind me of Boston. :)
I thought it rained all the time in Ireland. Or am I thinking of scotland, which is apparently where one of my hornier ancestors is from?

Oh, it does. Despite everyone complaining about how lousy the weather has been this year, we've actually had a very dry summer. CY asked about thunderstorms though, which probably don't happen as much because it rains itself out all the time. Or something, I'm not a meteorologist. :P

I need my goatee. My black manliness will decrease by 30% without it.

I grew a goatee once. It made me look like a 40-year-old IT specialist. And when I grow out the rest of my beard, it just ends up looking like fungus.

Ride a bike across the Golden Gate Bridge and return by ferry? Really, tourism company? Really? It's 1.7 miles. That's not far. Even in a crowd slowing the bike to a crawl, it really isn't far. Needing a ferry to get back is just not necessary. Even 3.4 miles isn't really that long of a bike ride. I don't need no damn ferry. I like riding boats and all, but seriously. Just ride the bikes back.

Do you say "Oh, boy!" Right after that when you leap into the body of a fifties greaser about to get decked in the chin by another fifties greaser.

Stuff like this still weirds me out a little for some reason. When I was 11 or 12, we didn't even have internet. And I'm not even that old. I didn't even start playing video games until I was well into my teens.

You misread that. It's fairy ride. And let's be blunt, if I got to strap a saddle on Tinkerbell's back and watch her try to carry my sorry butt back home, I'd pay any price... even for just 1.7 miles of hilarity...

...though with me on Tinkerbell it would be closer to 1.7 feet. Or maybe inches...

When we didn't have a car for awhile I had to walk 4.5 miles uphill thru the snow to get to work.

no really I did, talk about walking in your grandparents shoes:-D

Work rant:
Starting to think the big boss at work has it in for me. Since I was hired, I've been getting bounced around from job site to job site seemingly at random. As soon as I get used to the way foreman X and contractor Y do things, I have to unlearn all of it and relearn something else. I can't plan anything ahead of time, because I don't know where I'll be working day to day and/or how long it will take to get there. It doesn't help that I was trained as a commercial & industrial electrician,* but for the past few weeks I've been working residential jobs,** so I seem even greener than I am. I'm about ready to put my head through the wall.

Spoiler:
*Commercial electric = building businesses; involves metal studs, armored cable, big machines, generators, differing voltages, lots of math, etc.

**Residential electric = building houses and apartments; involves drilling lots and lots of holes, then pulling rubber-coated cable through them. That's it. Mind-numbing and backbreaking.

when I was younger I had this dumb idea that a proper house had two levels and one family lived in both of them, with the bedrooms on the upper level and accessed by stairs. This is because most of my childhood i lived in two-family houses while being surrounded by children's media depicting kids my age living in single-family two-story houses with bedrooms traditionally on the second floor.

After a stint living in such a house I don't care about that anymore. The measure of a home is in its people, and not its architecture or the number of comforts.

We lived in two story houses my entire life, but we also have a ten person family so.

Also I've lived my entire life except one glorious month without a room to call all my own.

on the flip side, as an only child with no cousins my age, and separated from the rest of my family by a language barrier, I felt like I had no community and wished I had a sibling or cousin I got along with.

that's kind of why I say I was raised by cats.

I also wish I had a family member I got along with, my brothers always treated me like an outsider and only two family members who gave me a chance were my Dad (who worked 2-3 jobs to support 8 kids and my grandma, who died when I was on a camping trip to Boundary Waters when I was thirteen, so I get it.

You're like ten years younger than me. How did you end up not playing video games until you were that old?! I was playing video games from age 12 or 13. Lame old school games, but they were games. Didn't have internet until college though. Still, you shoulda grown up on that stuff! This boggles my mind.


that is quite unfortunate. :c

Another passing thought: some translators do stupid things like translating 'meodosetl' as 'castle' or 'tæfl' as chess (to use anglo-saxon as an example).

In that case, when reading a translation for a language/setting I'm not familiar with, how do I trust that the translator did not do such kinds of translations?

Family is complicated. I like my sisters but we aren't close. And then there's the rest of them....sometimes I wish we lived further away, like across an ocean, so there would be a legit excuse for even less contact....
Sometimes no matter how hard you try you just don't fit into the family you were born into.

how old are you two?

When I got a gamecube, my first console, I could have been no younger than 8 or 9. (I'm 22 now). I always felt like I was introduced to videogames a little late because other kids my age had an N64 before they had a gamecube.

(but hey at least I got to play ocarina of time, since it was ported to gamecube. I don't think majora's mask was though, and sadly I never got to play it.)
