I on the other hand will be just beyond the ash fall zone. So I get to experience the subsequent global famine and climate change, assuming the earth isn't already so hot from global warming that a few thousand tons of ash blocking out the sun has less of an effect than it should.

It was thai red curry with pork. what I did was, fry 1 small onion and 3 cloves of garlic, minced after cooked add 4 table spoons of thai red curry paste mix and fry for 2 minutes then cut a pork loin into bite sized cubes and add it, stirring until cooked, season with curry powder, salt and pepper then add 4 indian eggplants, 2 bell peppers, 3 carrots, 1 blanched bamboo shoot, 2 handfuls sweet thai basil, and 10 thai chilli peppers, all cut into bite sized pieces finally 2 cans coconut milk, 4 tablespoons thai fish sauce, and 1/4th cup brown sugar. add in 1 cup of water, and simmer until reduced by 1/2. serve over rice. I am awesome.

well that's an over simplification, the thebans were good to thebans and about as good as any Hellenic city state really. shit if you are a foreigner or a woman but pretty nice as a male citizen. It wasn't until the romans introduced the idea of citizenship being granted to foreigners that everyone could aspire to be protected by the rights of the state. Still far from perfect but it was a step up. The persians as far as I am aware didn't give a flying fuck whether you were a citizen or not, if they even had the concept, subjects of the shahenshah would be more accurate.

The spartans were more famous because they resisted alexander the great, who totally annihilated the sacred band of thebes. That's not to say Alexander could not have conquered them, but he chose not to, needing his forces to conquer Persia. Pyrrhus a relative of Alexander who lived some time after did try to invade sparta, but was killed by a woman who threw a heavy roof tile at him from height. Later the Spartans were conquered by rome because they weren't actually crazy one man army supermen like they are depicted as being. They were also really conservative and their military tactics were horribly outclassed by the roman legions by the time they arrived. The Spartans were also eugenicists, and had a policy of slave labor that inspired the Nazis. Basically the helots, (the spartan slave class) would have been much better off had the Persians conquered Greece. They were actually quite enlightened empire builders who granted various rights to client kingdoms, including freedom of worship. So basically, thebans good, Persians good, Pyrrhus unlucky, Romans good, Spartans kind of over rated assholes.

I got carded today when I went to the liquor store. That only happens some of the time, I was nervous from the drive over but my id is genuine so it didn't matter. I got scotch, irish whisky, beer, and gin, all of excellent quality.

Considering they just passed a law making it legal to grow up to 6 cannabis plants per adult and 12 per household in Massachusetts I plan on growing a few more things myself, just as soon as I acquire some seeds. I don't smoke, but I have a recipe for cannabis tincture that I've been meaning to try, might also infuse some olive oil. I don't really use butter very often. Where I live Venus flytraps don't grow easily, but you should have no problem growing them in Florida. They like humid conditions. My long term plans include installing a frog pond for the same reason, I figure a pool of water filled with hungry toads and dragon flies should reduce the mosquito population.

its for my garden, I grow vegetables every year, last year they all died so I figured the soil needed remediation. I also planted a grape vine in the hope that in 3-5 years I might have something fresh to add to my wine.

well that's different, you're with people. I was alone. I just wanted something cold and refreshing and the beer did the trick. Plus you drink more than I do on an average day.

I prefer friends that don't suck my blood while I sleep.

They are super resistant to insecticide, I had to use heat treatments and bead liners to trap and kill them. I couldn't afford to buy a new bed. Since they can survive for up to a year without a blood meal, I determined they were officially gone 1 year after the last time I was bitten. It got pretty bad, I actually went to the emergency room due to an allergic reaction to bites all over my legs. I most likely got them in 2013 at anime boston, I stayed at the Marriott which was apparently infested with the little bastards.

hate those bloody things, took me 2 years to remove them from my house when I got them 5 years ago.

Right I'm talking about the thing that actually exists, not a fairy tale people made up to avoid facing their inevitable demise.

Not true, I have plenty of proof that the body decomposes after death, which was my claim, you have no proof that anything else happens to it, your claim. The burden of proof is on you to substantiate anything not known to science, and then you write a paper and you submit it for peer review, and if it is accepted as valid, then I will listen to you. Until then its just your private belief, totally unsubstantiated and unscientific.

I don't go to bars that often, and when I do I usually order whisky, I'd have to drink multiple beers to get the same effect as one or two glasses of scotch. Had four of them Saturday at my cousins wedding open bar and all. That said when I do order a beer at a bar its usually either Guinness or blue moon, depending on the situation, if its hot out and I'm thirsty blue moon, if its cold or mild out and I just want a good beer, Guinness. Sometimes I experiment though, I have a few friends who are really into beer and I usually let them pick out the selection when we hang out.

when you die you will be reincarnated... as worm food. lifeless decomposing matter. Have fun with that.

I bought it 2 months ago, it was either that or blue moon and yuengling was about 7 dollars less so I grabbed it. I actually went shopping before I worked in the yard and got some sam adams but it wasn't cold enough yet. I would boycott it if sam adam's stopped filling their variety packs with IPA's. As it stands its one of the few decent beers that I can afford.

That early and I'd probably have a coffee instead. Might put some things in the coffee, like Kahlua, Bailey's and or Frangelico, but it wouldn't be a beer. It was either that or a coke and they have about the same caloric content so, obviously I went with the one that would make me feel better in addition to tasting good.

I had it inside, I have a table for outside but I haven't assembled it yet.

But after tilling about 700 pounds of soil 6 bags of cow manure, and 1 bag of peat moss, I think I earned it.. Garden should come in good this year, weather permitting. also harvested some dandelion flowers for wine making purposes. And I'm about to plant a grape vine, it just needs to soak for about 30 more minutes. It was a yuengling, ice cold. Quite refreshing after working up such a sweat.

I just finished prepping the garden for planting. I also went liquor shopping, got that special beer flavored jameson we talked about before. and johnny walker double black, and some beer and some gin.

Internet people can party, that's why I meet all the ones I can. I mean who is going to kill me? I'd like to see someone try. I'm huge and belligerent!

Lilly, 8 year old main coon Eve 2 year old russian blue Both of them together. I'll post pics of my snake once I move him into his new terrarium.

That and I wasn't planning to stay up all night and get utterly shit faced, I want us to leave as early Saturday morning as possible.

I fucking love that meme.

I too am green, we're all green down here.
