okay.

booze trap?

req: one barrel of booze, one gear (flint?).
does: explode when triggered
triggered by: linkage to pad or lever. enemy touch/contact, heat (such as exploding barrel)
explosion burns in expanding cloud, can destroy structures/rock/whatever in 1 range (allowing for demolition) 

maybe expand with explosives or naphta. downgrading booze effects to fire in order to allow for material specific traps.


trowing barrels with catapult would be interesting. esp. if the content can be other than booze.
siege barrels: plant barrels on a parapet and drop onto siegers. sounds easy, probably hell to code AI for, unless automated as a trap.

unless we were first to develop radio (within a bubble of 120-150 LY).
if any civ discovered radio after us, they would not have recieved static, but our chatter.
Possibly causing them to discard it as a usable communications medium, but certainly convincing them of there being others 'out there'.
(or: there may be informational beings living in the aether!)

I am more of a passive listener to music, let it run in the background I say. Thus most of the angrier metal I don't find all that enjoyable. But some of the more instrumental tracks I do enjoy. Bands with long riffs and intros, i.e. Dream Theater fit nicely into that category. Anyone got any other suggestions of bands to try?

deep purple? (hard rock, I think. Some excessively long drumsolos, shuffle with something other for prolonged enjoyment)
Yes? (metal, very highpitched vocals, can become annoying)
Danzig? (heavy metal)
Motorhead? (hardrock)
(I'll keep tracking this thread for suggestions others may contribute. )

My definitions:
rock is classic pop with drum, guitar, keys and vocals are the prime focus.
hard rock is same but faster, lower in key and generally angrier.
metal is fastpaced hardrock dominated by highpitched guitars,
heavymetal is dominated by bass guitar,
deathmetal is dominated by a grunting leadsinger.

These kind of classifications are usefull for deciding what to compare with maybe, but for selecting music in the store, still asking the clerk is best (a knowledgable shopkeep in a specialty record store, not a dumbshit highschool dropout at a chain-store).

Don't care much. As this is an online community, anyone can claim to be anything.

However as this is the life advice forums:

Do/feel whatever you want with your life.
Disregard any who attempt to scare/warn/help you into acting 'normal', in the end you are the one responsible for acting according to your own sense of morality.

Be happy. 

nah, lungcancer can be caused my many irritants, cigarette smoke is bad because of micro-duct particles as well as reactive molecules (radicals as well as tar etc).
Cigarette smoke is not significantly more radioactive than air.

CO inhaled through smoking affects the ability of hemoglobin to absorb O2 or CO2, it binds too strongly, this is one of the main causes for shortness of breath in smokers.

I almost did, wasn't a match. 
The chances of being a match are low, so every volunteer counts.
Chances are you're never needed though, sadly.
For only a little agony you could save a life! How great is that?

Sadly can't donate blood anymore due to some seizures. In a couple of years again maybe.


(You don't just donate. You volunteer and your blood is typed in detail. When a person comes up that has identical blood, you will get called in for a coring. At least that is how it works here.)

meh.

Here, across the shallows, elections were all about local politics, so people voted as if they were voting for local.
A landslide for the dissident rightwing party.
Sadly, my vote went unheard.

They are mostly on budget DVDs.

My deluxe boxed set of the Lord of the Rings is fine, but my copy of the dark crystal has this unskippable Donotevercopystuffitisevilandwillrotyourbrainandwearegoingtofindyouwhenyoudoandsueyourassinjailtheymakepiratessuckdickandthenyoudieofaidsyoufilthycopyrightinfringingmiscreant intro.

edit: by copy I mean not copied by me but by the corp.
