'Cause I can handle the truth...

But not going to take a pic showing my weight...

Today I learned that "Grinder" is an actual word in English and not just an app name. I have no idea why they went with this app name now, and I guess it is better not know.
"Grinding" is a kind of dancing where you rub against your dance partner. Popular in clubs. So the name "Grindr" evokes (dirty) dancing and clubbing.

An Air Fryer, never bothered before because I primarily saw them being promoted as ‘similar and healthier than a fryer‘ (which I knew from trying someone else's was BS).

What finally sold me on one was finding out that they can cook quicker than an oven and uses less energy.

Considering that my oven can take a while to cook something, leaves the fan running to cool off and I primarily just cook for myself, the Air Fryer suddenly became a worthwhile purchase.

I haven’t actually used my oven in the few weeks I’ve had the Air Fryer.

I found a trashed Wii that came with mario kart wii at goodwill, had homebrew on it, put a new SD card in it with some gc games and a few emulators for it

Runs fine with nintendont, snes9x gx, genesis plus gx, Not64, and some VC wads i found (Img came from DSi cause i dont got no phone).

I should have been clearer, I’m indifferent to the health reasons, the BS was the ‘it’s similar to a chip fryer’ where as to me there was a night and day difference between the air fryer and the chip fryer for chips/fries.

The way I look at my Air Fryer is that it’s a replacement for my oven under most circumstances.

I went to the Canadian pet expo today and I bought for my best friend a hanging Coconut hide for his gecko, some food and metal food dishes for him. My other friend I got her the same food, 25x Wax worms and some metal food dishes.

For me I got 1000x meal worms, 500x black solder fly larva(supposed to be one of the best feeders) 50x waxworms, some spring tails, a magnetic feeding ledge and a male gargoyle gecko.

So now I have 2 gargoyle geckos, a leopard gecko, a pacman frog, 4 tarantulas, a cornsnake and a dog.

The speakers in my Mirage were god awful, dinky little 15W things that had terrible quality issues, especially at higher volumes. Replaced them with the above, now they sound great :yay: Much better quality, more neutral sound and doesn't distort at high volumes like the old ones so I'm happy with them.

Went and purchased the watchpoint pack for ow2, looking through it, its not a bad deal at all since we got more details from the last ow2 trailers, even when I saw it at first I was turned off by the $40 price like alot of people

premium pass season 1 - $10
2000 ow coins - $20 (a premium pass of a season costs 1000 coins or $10, so these coins will cover premium of season 2 and 3 also)
legendary version upgrade for ow1, a couple of exclusive legendary skins, and a unique player icon make up the rest of the last $10

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz I didnt like fallout 1 that much
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
