Learnt how to solve a Rubik's Cube and miraculously forgot. Multiple times. Relearnt again and again only to forget. Never got to actually speedcube since I'd take too long trying to remember how to solve the thing.

Did play with yoyos but never was all too good. And didn't really get them expensive gimmicky gear. What actually got me back in for a bit was the short-lived yoyo craze about 8 years back when the anime Chousoku Spinner (aka Super YoYo) kickstarted the trend.

Ahh good times. How I missed them so.

Had (possibly still have) a yo-yo, which I assumed was a normal one with rubber in case I hit it into something(for newbies). Instead it turned out to be an off-string yo-yo for the pure masters. I used it a couple of times, but that was all.

I used to own a Rubik's Cube and was trying to solve it on my own, but then a baby cousin tore all the colored stickers off. That was the end of that.

Since then, I have had the occasional urge to get into speedcubing, though I'm having trouble finding a good Rubik's Cube around here. Most of the ones I find in stores are cheap knockoffs.

Never could get the hang of much 2A, I play mostly 1A and 5A

Yes. I tell you a number, and you calculate the cube of it in your head as fast as you can.

Bah, kids and their fancy numbers. In my day, you counted with your fingers, your toes, and the stumps where your brother's arms used to be. They just don't make farm equipment like they used to.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
