How's this:

Do I miss things that I have not been nor experienced simply because I have not experienced them, or because they are missing parts of me?

I have been told by many non-americans that I do not belong here and I should be happier elsewhere.
I was left here in the States, it wasn't my choice.

I choose to get adopted by my foster parents because at 14, I had no other choice but foster care until then being dumped into the world alone at 18.

Missing parts of you. We can never escape WHO we are, but we find it too common to be occluded by the THINGS that seek to replace them. Since we are having fun with the Latin....temet ipsum ad esse verum

Irony, part of that is in the book of Mark, also my name that I choose..... "Come down from the Cross"

Scott was my other name choice...lol

Anyone wish to play an awesome, yet dead game?
It is one of the longest played online games there is..since 1996.

http://www.warheads.net/

I'm an admin, I can give free keys... ;)

Think Tanks or Scorched Earth, in space. You can edit yer own weaps..75 of them.
Turn-based multi, realtime chat.
I completely suck at video games. The ONLY one that I excel at it Microsoft Flight Simulator X.......which I cannae play because I'm a Mac user now.

a. Bollocks
b. Ya can run win on Mac, wit an i5..no worries

do you like trajectories and angles? banking rails to explode a planet?

there are defenses too..several of them...it's Chess with irepower...pun intended.

There is no other game like WHSE, it's old, it's DX11 and it's not 3D. Ya can run it on a fookin' Celery III, but updated for 64-bit.

It is tactical strategy, with mayhem. ;-)

I'm running a Core 2 Duo, with 4gb of RAM and win7 Ultimate.
Same as I ran in 2007, I still kick azz in that game.

Point being, it's deserted now...be just play time ;)
It is like an island lost in time....when games didnt suck.

No, it will not work on Mac, but with emu it will, it is DX11 and back and needs near nothing to run...any other Win OS, yes.

The server is runnign on an ARM linux box in the owners house...

I'd play ya wit one core behind me back...or should I load the XP virtual machine?....lol
You have a monster liquid-cooled gaming machine, dont tell me you do not game.

Either way, 'tis Friday....I shall go on there and await battle... it's tradition.
mates go on there, drink, frolic and make merry over our victories. It's the last bastion of Honor in the gaming world.
We have snipe...single shot stuff, we take turns...no straight cheapies, gotta bank....
Oh, and we have fully real gravity, deformations and physics by a guy who send the lander to Mars.

What's everyone doing? I'm making some popcorn and going to sit back and wrap an electric blanket around me and watch a movie soon.

I'm sitting here trying to fend off an instinct (dont ask....just answering the question honestly). Sounds like it is cozy in your world.

Cozy? Not really. Thus the need for the electric blanket. But I'll live.

on 6th ipa since 4 o'clock. pet went to bed, im with you guys.
Gonna go to Olympia tomorrow, and check out rocky top brew and see about brewing my own beer. any one have experience? pointers? A friend of mine used their starter kit, and was real good. tasted kindof like new belgium ranger.
Ive also seen starter kits at wilco for 150$ . do you think its best I talk to a brewer instread of getting a generic out-the-box starter?

west side is the best side.
Jims is a little far away for me. im on the peninsula.
I prolly should just go where my bud went. I just don't like face to face.
I was kinda wondering if I got a starter kit I could expand, because for some reason, I happen to have 2- 5 gallon glass bottles, so I figured if I got a starter kit, I could just start easy, then buy the needed goodies to expand later.

Who would be interested in a live chat for vu?

That would go horribly wrong. Trust me, as an ex server admin and moderator of a community of over 100,000....shit will ht the propeller device...

Also, chat plugins suck server resources like a $2 hooker on shore leave.

hell, yer on WestSide....you have multiple brewers

grok this: https://www.google.com/search?q=home brew wa&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

We have our own distillery tho..Dryfly. ;)
I checked that google, and im more than half way off the grid. Chickens, turkeys, rural, guns and well, you know. im just not into clubs, and gatherings. I like to get my shit and get back to base. you know? Although I do enjoy electricity, internets, satellite, tin foil hats,
When I hear the word 'club' I picture polo wearing douch-bags with be-dazzled jeans, with one-direction hair. Im a shaved headed, beardo, camo jeaned, black hoodie , speed metal freak.
I just like beer with a kick. I don't want to discuss the subtle nuances of guiness versus anhieser-busch

Yes, but are they PGP encrypted over multiple VPNs and proxies?

My fave acro from the win98 MCP classes: PPTP...for my bunghole!

Oh wait...even Zimmerman knew the war was coming over crypto.
Soon, just having over a certain lvl will be a crime...after all, what do you have to hide? ;-)

I could stick PGP into nearly anything I do, but that would cut me off from the planet that does not care.

Other than geeks and criminals, who uses encrypted chat, emails or IM?

That, is how our Govt sees it.
The Bat! has had encrption built-in for decades, *nix shit has forever. I won't even start on BSD...

I moved out here for a reason. Tacompton born and raised thru the 80's. You got nuthin'. Well... I take that back. Hell's angel's wa chapter is out there, and the gathering of the juggalos happens every so often too.
Shine intrigues me....but seems hairy. When beer pops, its just a mess. when shine leaks...KABOOM!!!
Preppers are crazy. Why would you want to live to see the end of the world? Ive got enuf ammo to hold them off for a while, and I WILL save a bullet for myself.
Funny you say redneck accent. Even though ive never left western Washington, a lot of people think im a transplant from the south.
How's my grammar so far?

Yes. the glassy stare does say....fuck-all. Puss is content. I like that. Sometimes when my cats claim me, I enjoy them so much, I never want to get up for fear of disturb.
Six pack gone. im out. g'nite.

Fuckem I doubt theres much a few vapers have to say that could bother the U.S. What it really boils down to is cash money v.s. security of our own p.c.'s
