And curl your toes inside the boot. We (🇳🇴)also did a light flex in the knee while raising your heel. Basically flex any muscle you can to make the "veins work"

Our officers also was very aware and kept giving attention and ease orders to get us to move

    These are all concept cars. In other words often just fantasy. Even if they do make a prototype it's in no way guaranteed that it will see production. Anyone remember the Citroen or Renault where the seat was part of the door. Even featured as a prototype on Top Gear.

    Just fantasy

    Norway mentiones how the Olaf Haraldson died the "martyr" death in 1030 while trying to make Norway christian. The entire second verse is about the early medieval kings. The stanza in the second verse reads something like this: "..On the country Olav painted the cross with his blood"

    Tbh, I don't care one iota what people eat or drink. I have had people in a social setting in a beer place who wanted hot water. I got her hot water, making sure if was boiled and not just hot tap water.

    Relax, order what you like and want. I also think you put way to much into the reactions. And even if they did, what does it matter? Besides hot chocolate in October is a perfectly normal drink. (Not that you should care)

    Lol. You take it way to seriously. But for the discourse I will counter.

    Ofc a parent or a child is irreplaceable for the family. A friend or a lived one, a pet is irreplaceable for those close to them.

    And I interpret it that people over emphasise their own importance. No boss is irreplaceable, no CEO or politician is ultimately so important they can't be replaced with new people. There will come new experts, there will be new leaders, new visionaries, new scientists. When the current ones grow old and inevitably follow the path we all must go.

    Well. Thats an issue. You can only choose from people whom the organization has put up. Few people participate in organizations/parties.

    But you are free to make your own party and nominate who ever you like. So I don't really agree with your statement.

    It's easy to complain. How would you organize elections?

    Isnt this the same in every democratic country? A political party is an organized group of people who share a common set of goals, values, whatever. They make their own rules, and who they decide to put up for election is entirely up to the organization by the rules they have set up for themselves.

    Might be different in the US since you have a two party system and it seems that there is some official involvement in the elections of candidates

    Remember my mother letting me sit up and watch the Ceaușescu trial when I was perhaps 11.

    Don't think she reckoned that they (Norwegian state broadcaster NRK) would also show the execution. Remember they (ex-dictator and wife) were lined up against a wall, then fell down and a man in a white coat checked them.

    Looks good. Nice to see hare cooked as its a bit tricky to work with. It so lean it hardly can be used for anything but stews.

    You shot it yourself? Remember fly fisher would love the ears for binding as shop bought ears are usually rabbit. A friend was especially happy with white winter coat ears.

    Have anyone tried to set the game in Europe? The grand conspiracy would still work. I figured it would be straightforward to find agencies that could be used for agents as all countries have armed forces, law enforcement, and intelligence organizations. You could add other organisations like CERN and ESA too, perhaps BAE and the like.

    The main challenge would be how to overcome jurisdiction as Europe isnt federated and few operative agencies have presedencd over national agencies. And that Europe has a very different culture regarding weapons.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Four mechs down (lemmy.world)
     

    We played a game to brush up on the rules. 6000BV trying to stay in ca. 3025-3049.

    He did not have time to prepare so went with four shooters-8A (all proxies) I went Battlemaster-1Gb, Black Knight-6b-KNT, Catapult-1C and my one stray into clan era with a Wraith-1.

    Thanks to some seriously unlucky dice all four of his mech fell down thanks to one getting two crits in CT, two taking >20 damage and one missed kick. All failed pilot checks...

    Never seen that before. Edit: we did play fast and loose since we were relearning rules and the LGS was closing soon.
