So? Any plans?
Here we get to eat this delicious stuff :D
(http://virtual.finland.fi/finfo/images/easter3.jpg)
-
I see milk, suggar and ... is that cow-sh** by any coincidence?
-
:lol: nope, it's something called Mämmi
(actually I guessed that you might see it that way ;) )
here is the recipe

I'll probably work during Easter, just as I worked during Christmas and New Year's Eve. It seems that the projects I get involved in are always scheduled for delivery a day after a major holiday - and I'm bound to my fate once again...
-
I plan to do all my college work. Work out for 4 straight days intaking only water and sleeping for exactly 8 hours a night. Then I'm going to get so wasted that I can barely breath. A few days later I'll return home just in time to pick up all my easter eggs and be carted off to the hospital.
Gotta love my life-style.
-
at first it feels like working in easter - > sucks
but then again, work = money, so it's not that bad
it would propably be good for me to work some holidays, but I dunno... maybe I'm a loser :doubt:
try to have fun though :nod:
-
The south coast of the UK has been blessed with summer like weather - so if it holds probably a lot of out door action for me.
And regardless of what the weathers like I get to do one thing I'm really looking forward to - stripping, cleaning and painting my bike. It's snot green at the moment - when complete it'll be black :D
Can't wait...
-
stripping, cleaning and painting my bike
Your neighbours won't like that.

-
Im going to be doing a couple of uni assignments, looking for a job, going out clubbing and getting trashed and eating and sleeping and generally being bored.

It's funner pissing on the door knobs of a Holy Family Religious Primary School in the middle of the night.

SHENMUE 2!! Whayee :D
BTW an0n, industrial caps won't do the job and it's more than likely that if you did manage to create a massive enough mag. field to throw a projectile across a room at any kind of speed that the whole shebang would weld itself together, the current would be insane.
Research PVC cannons instead, they're much more rewarding or perhaps 'supersoaker flamethrowers' (C) Maeglamor 1997 (someone else probably thought of it first but I'm copyrighting it OK.). Much of my youth was spent creating machinations that created a terrible amount of noise and/or damage.
BTW I am not responsable for any body parts that are forcefully removed from you by your homebuilt devices. So there :D
Everybody have a great easter :nod:

I don't care about the plethora of positive and negative comments I've heard about it: Jedi Knight Outcast all week long! Yeeeaahhhh! :D
*notices glares from various people*
Oh. Descent of Evil and The Babylon Project work too.
Um, yeah.

I don't care about the plethora of positive and negative comments I've heard about it: Jedi Knight Outcast all week long! Yeeeaahhhh! :D
That game out yet? I'm thinking of buying it...
-
It's been released in Australia and I guess a few other countries already. The official release date for the United States has been changed from the 29th to the 28th (tomorrow by Pacific standards, today for you East Coast people :) ). Some people in the US (from New York and other spots around New England) say they already have legit copies.
Regardless, it'll be out all over the US before the end of the week. :D

How come guys expect to get drunk and laid at the same time?
(This is _not_ a stupid question...)
-
BTW what is this "get laid" thing? I have heard this term a number of times but have no idea what it means. It is not documented in any dictionary I have seen (in a form that would be sensible, context-wise); some sort of slang maybe?

Ah yesss... mmm, the wonders of slang. IMHO, you're not missing out much in not knowing what that means. :ha:
Meanwhile, I'll be enjoying my 4-day holiday by remaking the HLP avatar system. Whoopee! ;)

yeah, but I'd like to know what it means plz, can be useful when you chat with someone, if he says that and you don't understand him :p

I cant afford to go out atm...bank just charged me thirty quid for going over my overdraft.
Personally i just enjoy sitting down at a table with my friends and smoking an drinking.
If its a club, i need to be trashed before i'll get up and dance and make a fool of myself. I've given up on trying to get the ladies that way though :(
-
I don't go near toilets when i'm trashed i have the urge to sit down adn wait for something and fall a sleep. And drunk + trying to get laide is bad:p i know because i know;7

Very popular thread if I remember correctly.

Well maybe I'm just a little strange, but come on, seriously, who can't agree with me in that this (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Euler-LagrangeDifferentialEquation.html) and this (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/cp5670/797-2.jpg) are infinitely superior to some sex crap?

I can and will argue that point, all I need is an attractive young woman to help me for a second.......
*edit* Forgot where I was for a second.....HAH women here......:D
-
I dunno...
I think flying a fighter (ie F-22, F-15 etc) would be better than sex, but thats not likely to happen with me, so sex it is....
-
Sky-diving and para-gliding. Much more fun than sex. But nothing beats high-altitude nookie.;7
-
If anyone gets JKO, please tell me what you think. Generally, responses and the two reviews I've read have been good (see jediknightii.net for a list of them), but there has been a lot of complaining about boring, pointless puzzles expanding the game's lifetime for a number of hours. :( I'm not sure if I wanna blow fifty bucks on such a title, so some comments from you guys would be nice.
Also, "getting laid" is a term I'd expect most adolescents to know through and through. Maybe I was wrong... :D

If you take everything that the church considers a sin, I don't think there's a single person on Earth that's going to heaven... :p

Mortal sins get you sent to hell, like murder, adultery..
-
I've sinned. Everyone's sinned. But the whole idea behind Jesus' death on the cross is that through it, we have forgiveness of sins, if we believe in Him.
And as far as proving the "Heaven forever" part, you won't get scientific proof - that's why it's called faith. But look at it this way: You've got nothing to lose, and everything to win. :)

I know that too - that was only a joke, and I thought everyone would get it. All religions require a leap of faith, and that's probably the hardest thing for everyone to do. Since you talk with Setekh a lot, as you said several times, I guess he might have told you about my own personal beliefs. :nod:

No offense, but I don't really consider the run-of-the-mill catholic as a true christian... IMHO they've deviated from what the Bible says so much.... bah, it makes me sick.
And no, Steak didn't tell me about your beliefs - at least, not that I can recall...

Roman Catholics were among the first ever christians, i dont think we've deviated from the bible personally.

No offense taken, my family is catholic - that doesn't mean I am. And indeed, they deviated a lot from the original christians and, as far as I'm concerned, they're not worshipping God, but a bunch of idols created for their own convenience.

No offense taken, my family is catholic - that doesn't mean I am.
hehe, similar case with me; everyone in my family is Hindu but I am atheistic. ;)
I personally was brought up with the Hindu religion, but I have always had a tendency to question the "why's" of everything (:D) and started thinking about some things I was told. What exactly do people mean when they refer to god? How was god discovered? What lies beyond god? After thinking about this for some time (a bit hard, as like everyone else, I had been trained to think that this was the absolute) I came to the conclusion that god is simply the word people use for two things: the ultimate government for humanity, and the culmination of all knowledge. If anyone has played Deus Ex, you might remember Morpheus saying that people have a need to be watched, understood and protected from the world; this is the purpose of god as a government and why people find comfort in the existence of god. The other purpose that god serves is to account for everything that is not understood by science, but that has begun to diminish with the almost exponential progress in the last century. ;) As it stands now, logic is my religion. :D
No offense, but I don't really consider the run-of-the-mill catholic as a true christian... IMHO they've deviated from what the Bible says so much.... bah, it makes me sick.
Well, I think that it has turned out like this because of necessity; although people resist change, it is inevitable to some extent in my opinion, and the people had to keep up with changing times. (mainly due to technological and civilizational progress) Some other things were just changed around because of poor record-keeping and differences in interpretations. ;)

Well, see, that's the deal. Everyone's headed down there by their own actions and sins; but what God did, in His infinite love, was send down a solution. Jesus died for us - He paid the penalty of death due to us - so that when God goes to judge us at the end of this life, He will instead see Jesus. And so we will get to go Heaven. :nod:
Pretty neat deal, huh? All you have to do is accept the gift. After you accept it, nothing can tear you away from God - He's a pretty large fella, y'know. :)

Well, it's true; it's something very difficult to grasp, just how big our God is. ;)

Take my word on it, it will let you down the moment you need it the most :)

Lol; nice sig, Vega. :D
Oh, and as for logic? Like a lot of things (eg. emotions), it makes a nice servant - but a lousy master. :nod:

pb is, i'm, at the most, agnostic, if not 100% atheist, so...
Bah, I'll see when i'll get there :p (or maybe I won't see anything after all? )

You just can't help yourself, eh? :D

I have to agree with venom.
Atheism solves many problems.

Same here; logic is king as far as I am concerned. :D (check the other thread)

Unbelief in a cliff-edge that you are running over does not put a bridge there... :)

Watch it. My karma will roll over your dogma. ;)

Indeed.
-
The metaphor of God (or any religion) being equivalent to a solid object such as a bridge rather fails, IMO.
-
Its not a metaphor per say, its a situational explaination.
-
There is no cliff.
Its all limbo.
-
There is no spoon. ;)

It's not really dogma... :) I tried very hard to prove it was wrong, and ended up proving myself wrong. It's not without evidence at all. :)

You could also say that believing in a cliff-edge that isn't there wil just further complicate things. ;):D Anyway, we all have our own beliefs and values, whether well-founded or not. ;)

Faith/belief is only as strong as the object in which it is placed. :) Strong faith in some TANG which has passed its use by date by a couple of years will not result in anything. Weak faith in solid concrete, however, yields results. :)

uh...if that is true, it would actually go towards proving my point. ;):D

Well considering the Probabilistic Physics thing is catching on - that kinda complicates things... :p

Actually, it has results. They're not very pleasant, though. :D
