[sheep2001]

We survived.

Glad to hear it!

Due to Juhannus I bought fridge with freezer.

Also bought BBQ foods and booze.

Oh the joy tomorrow.

Can I be the first to wish your liver the very best of luck, and I hope he feels better soon!

He thanks.
But I'll probably take easier this Juhannus... Nope can't say that with straight face.

Does Juhannus is always at this time of the year?

If so, i will like to be one day over there, my birthday was on June 21 and it will be fun to cross the pond and celebrate over there

Funny though, I live in the middle of the pond, so if I want to go to the states I will have to cross the pond, and also if I want to go to Europe lol. I will always have to cross the pond

You live on a island... now I'm jeallous.

Juhannus is on the Saturday between June 20 and June 26, the heaviest drinking day being the friday.
You are very welcome to join us.
As the Juhannus is on so early summer the weather varies greatly, 2012 and 2013 Juhannus were great and hot, 2014 and 2015 were rainy but somewhat warm, this year quite warm and cloudy.

And the yearly warning:

Levels of Dihydrogen-monoxside still on rise in Saimaa.

Along with heavy metals and sulfides massive ammounts of Dihydrogen-monoxside is leaking to nature from the Talvivaara quarry. Internationally this compound is often shortened DHMO.

If inhaled this compound is extremely dangerous and kills many Finns per year.

Dihydrogen-monoxside has proven espesially dangerous if people are same time exposed to slightly polaric hydrocarbon based solvent (C2H5OH), which is plentyfully found from all Finnish lake areas especially during the warmer times of year.

This year levels of Dihydrogen-monoxside seem to exceed all previous levels in the waters of Vuoksi, especially around the Saimaa area. Finnish Newscenter (STT) reported on thursday that the levels are so high that it limits the usage of lakeside saunas and summer cottages in low laying areas.

Besides damaging human respiratory system Dihydrogen-monoxside also damages buildings.

The reporter considers the situation serious. It has long been known that Dihydrogen-monoxside is only good under the boats.

Six drowned so far this Juhannus + countless near misses.

And why that happens?

[Arseen]

And why that happens?

Dihydrogen-monoxside is H₂O = Water and  slightly polaric hydrocarbon based solvent (C₂H₅OH) is Ethanol = Alcohol.

So people get drunk and drown.

Rest of the story is old news.

Got a new pick up.  not gaming related.  I am not going to post pics but rather a link to my NeoGaf post if you want to see it.  I am doing this since people in the world have VERY, VERY, VERY opposite opinions on my pick up.  Just a heads up Its an AR-15.

I think it looks good. How much did it end up costing you? If you don't mind, let me know what you thing after you shoot it. I'm debating if I want to get one or not. I'd personally prefer an MP-5 but they can be expensive for a good one and I've been reading people aren't to happy with the cheaper modles.

It was $745 after tax at Cabelas. I hope to shoot it in the next month or so. I will check back in!  Mp5 are great but I have other priorities now that I got the AR.  Stupid responsibilities lol

Cool! Can't wait to see what you think about it.
And I know what you mean. Damn them responsibilities...

I am no way trying to start a argument here, more trying to think of the image of these forums to a new person.

But is posting about and whooping up the acquisition of shiny new firearms, including those that are ludicrously unnecessary for personal protection and the sort used in pretty most of the contemporary mass murdering atrocities in the US, really appropriate for not just a site about video games (yeah Ok, video games have guns in them....) but also in a thread that is 98% talking about games?

Surely this kind of extremely divisive and contentious subject needs, at the very least, its own separate thread? Perhaps even in the "Members Only" section. Just so those that would perhaps react badly to discussion of buying firearms can simply not look into it, thus avoiding potential e-dick measuring contests...........or infinitely worse still, with the amount of gun deaths in the US and around the world every single day, imagine if someone who had just lost a loved one to an AR-15 came in here to take their mind of things and had a discussion about how superb their loved ones murder weapon is right under "Hey, I just bought Zelda from a Goodwill!".

Now please, again, I am really NOT trying to get into any debates surrounding guns, constitutional rights, freedom of speech/choice/expression - and I have always admired how the admins have handled conflict here with ease, culminating to a generally peaceful and well balanced forum - I am just trying to see this kind of discussion (again, in a thread no new member would expect to see such chatter) through the eyes of either an internet big boy looking for a fight, or worse a victim of gun crime.

Either one of those potential interactions being something I hope we all would not want to see break out into an argument for both our individual personal integrity, and that of the site as a whole.

Hope this comes across as intended, which is simply as a concern regarding the potential for serious arguments occurring and not as an attack on anyone discussing how they wish to live their lives.

I see it as more an issue of whether or not pickups should be strictly gaming related. Personally, I don't mind non-gaming related pickups. If your qualm is over the pick up being a gun than that's different than being concerned with showing off non-gaming related pick ups.

On the gun issue and personal protection in general, I don't understand how you determine what is necessary. With all of the shootings going on, now more than ever I want to be as prepared as possible.

Anyway, nice pick up on the gun

Here we go again...

[Arseen]

Let's put it this way:

Mainly gaming related stuff, but occasional non-gaming-related allowed no matter how idiotic the purchase is...

Yep, same petty insults and name calling as last time this came up too.
