When do we start getting this up north?
"Hello, this is the CEO. Recently I've been worrying about my tax burden, and it would be really nice if you guys voted for Steve again so I don't have to sell the car and bring the kids to office daycare. If things got really bad we might have to get the utility company to cut off the maple syrup lines, and then you'd have nothing to put on your pancakes, so please vote responsibly."

Life Advice / Re: My fight against caffeine.
« on: October 10, 2012, 10:53:09 am »If you live in a remotely populated area, you will find weights at garage sales.Eating that many calories a day, you could lift weights and likely become He-Man. Not look like him, become him.
Oddly, when this thread first started up, I had no problem avoiding caffeinated beverages. Queue my family suddenly interested in buying huge amounts of cola and Dr Pepper, and Mom buying me a huge mug for Slurpees (Frozen soda drinks). It's almost getting to the point where I'm sick of the stuff, but I keep drinking it because it has caffeine in it.
Perhaps I should begin lifting weights. Except I don't have any. :/
Every single piece of fitness equipment ever made eventually finds its way down to the garage sale level, except the infomercial ones because they break before they can change owners. It's just one of those things.
But yeah, there's tons of stuff you can do without weights, and even more without real weights. I wanted my wrists to actually fit my watch, so we got this stick/dowel thing, tied a string around the middle and put a weight on the string. Holding it in front of you and spinning it (to bring up the weight, right) really works well. Look around!

I like the comments.

To all those that belittle this man for being successful, I say "Please shut up. You have all the same opportunity he did to make something of yourself. All you need is the ability to work hard and make smart choices to be wildly successful.

Please open your eyes and talk to someone who has more than you and tell them to their face that they owe you something. Don't speak of classes or in generalities but directly to them. They don't owe you a red cent. Accept your station in life or take responsibility to improve it and help anyone you can along the way."It's not my fault you've all wasted your golden opportunities by being lefty pansies, now, is it? Just think - when YOU'RE rich, will YOU want higher taxes?"

There was some study that discovered that the more people acted like they needed their cat's attention and love, the less it would give.
I read it on the Internet! It must be true!

We did have an wild cat poop in our garden, though. I guess only let your cat out if the garden:forest ratio is high.
My relatives got a cat that they let roam their suburbs, and we had this conversation:
"What if the cat poops in someone's garden?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's just fertilizer!"
"
"
Later, someone poisoned that cat (actually it was a kitten). Lovely times all around. I wasn't sympathetic, though, because think of all the squirrels that bastard killed! Completely unjustified!

Are squirrels even benign? They steal the seeds from our birdfeeder, scare away the birds (I live on an acreage, so these are the kinds of birds that actually fly away from our feeder if our cat comes by, not the stupid crows you get in parks) and have figured out to get into our squirrel-proof containers. I think having your cat kill maybe two squirrels and a pigeon in some suburb isn't an environmental or moral catastrophe (HAW).
Doesn't matter, though, because our cat was found with a broken hip (in the wild, where he evilly killed small rodents and clearly didn't even eat them due to being evil, as evidenced by how skinny he was) and we don't let him outside unsupervised.

« on: October 09, 2012, 05:58:11 pm »Exactly, and you don't even need to time anything, because you can have it on the same lever.Military deployment = too much workwell, upright traps to kill the undead after drowning could work, I think?
The only problem is if the spikes cause severed limbs - from Adventure Mode tests, a dead vulture and a mutilated dead vulture both gave 9 vulture meat, showing that if there is a loss when butchering mutilated corpses, it isn't that significant.

Maybe it's just all the SQUISHYSQUIRTYMUSHY sounds that it creates when he's manhandling the inside of a watermelon like a violent deranged Gallagher, it's just a little unnerving.
I never knew that I was serving watermelon so wrong, nor that you can make cheeseburgers so easily.
He even has a way to end world hunger.
Well, it might matter if it's meat, so there is that. But what's a little food poisoning, right?
Those steak-needlers don't contaminate themselves, you know!

I want to do this, but I'm unsure of the specifics. Is drowning needed? Because I think I know how you could do this without tons of water.
1. Long drop onto your fortress' finest spikes, preferably bronze, iron, steel, or *gasp* adamantine. Kill your livestock instantly.
2. Pull a lever to lower the spikes, and let the necromancer see the animals. Let him reanimate them.
3. Pull it again to raise the spikes, re-killing the animals and blocking the necro.
Questions:
- Is drowning required so the animals are uninjured? If so, disregard everything I said :I
- You could remove the spikes and raise the drop to reduce overall injury, but that makes killing the zombies hard again, right?
- Can necromancers see through solid glass walls? Nobody agrees on this. (Or, a fortification in front of a window would work better)
