Ah, a nester :-)

I'm the other way, the 6 years I've been in our current house is the longest I've ever lived in one place since I left home!

Do you have a way to get out and about in a fun way?

It's funny, here in Spain there's lots of women who use motorbikes and scooters as their main transportation so I've never thought of it as impressive!

I've had motorbikes since I was little, I was fascinated by them much to my mothers disappointment.

Have you ever thought about riding one?

Since I'm on a motorbike most of the time I use a backpack, which in and of itself has proved useful!

Inside I've got ... Work ID Old leather purse I bought second hand about 15 years ago Antihistamines Ibuprofen Mini hairbrush Mini nailclippers A reliable pen Hand sanisizer House keys 1 individually wrapped maxi-pad (useful for various emergencies aside from the obvious) 1 pair of disposable earplugs (for when riding the motorbike) And the most recent addition is reading glasses :-(

1 - Starship Troopers, or V for Vendetta (flip a coin on that one)

2 - The 51st State ... I don't think there's any way to say that's political. Apart from the first 5 minutes ... and the stupid Nazis ... and post- credits scene ... and some commentary over the industrial decline of the UK ... and some other stuff ...

Trying to think of a nonpolitical film is nearly impossible :-/

Stabilizers are marketing BS, they can't rejuvenate old fuel and they generally work by introducing an additional component that reduces the ability of the fuel (mostly the methanol content) to absorb water ... however they rarely have a positive effect over all because they cause other problems.

Long shelf-life fuel is made in the refining stage. European standard E10 petrol can last a year or more if it's stored correctly ... I know this because I sometimes do store it for that long by accident.

That's not correct. I have ethanol-free petrol for my chainsaw that has a shelf life of 5 years guaranteed (probably lasts longer, since that's from the time of purchase)

It's realistic that the most vicious people would hold on to the status symbols of before, and to indoctrinate those born after into the same way of thinking

Congratulations!

I wish you a long and loving life together <3

Meh, I broke my leg a month after meeting a beautiful lady, she decided to stay over to help me out while I couldn't walk.

We're coming up for our 10 year anniversary, and still very much in love.

It doesn't always work out, but sometimes it does so it's worth trying :-)

I once jumped a car onto a moving train while on fire

Yeah, I live halfway up a small mountain (in Europe) and usually have everything needed to survive a month, including if the water and power are cut.

We're currently putting together a pair of bug-out bags as well though, so we can be mobile in an emergency too

 

Hi, Iḿ not in the US, but earlier this year had the opportunity to try shooting firearms of various sorts for the first time, and it's something I'd like expand my knowledge about ... when I go on youtube the videos I've seen have been American with a right-wing lean which range from comedic, through surreal, and into creepy.

It would be nice to see content from people who are vaguely normal.

(Edit: especially if it has to do with revolvers!)

 

Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.
