Everyone loves those sweet sweet power ballads from the 1980's

Ok, well maybe not exactly everyone. But I love them.

    My dad mentioned he has enough bonus points to fly me to Svalbard.

    That would be cool, I've always wanted to go. But no sun season, and maximum cold season, might not be the most fun time to be there. Also there's the question of what the hell I would do there.

    Buy a telescope with your baller gas station money and take advantage of the desolate and unpolluted night skies.

    It's not "used oil"


    When you cook bacon a lot of the fat melts off, and if you save it you can use it.


    Once.


    And then it's done, you throw it out.

    Svalbard is the emptiest of countries. If you're lucky you might get into a confrontation with a polar bear. Make sure to file the proper forms before shooting it as it bites your head off.

    It's not a country, it's part of Norway.

    Also if polar bears are biting your head you can shoot it no form required. There's a reason they strongly suggest you bring a gun if you're going to venture out of town.

    we actually have a telescope

    that's a good idea, assuming I can transport it safely

    It isn't used, it's fat that renders out when cooking bacon. You can't obtain it otherwise. It isn't any weirder than the goose fat that gets sold in jars for cooking roast potatoes.

    If it's a refractor telescope it should be easy. A reflector with a mirror would be more difficult. You'll want to remove the mirror and pack it separately.

    I suppose that one is questionably a power ballad or not.


    But it's unquestionably awesome 80's music.

    i am fine with keeping bacon grease around. i just neglect to do it generally. my mom is from florida, and her family does it, but i generally don't eat enough bacon and the fat goes bad before i use it.

    i was keeping around a bunch of rendered duck fat in my fridge but sadly cleaned it out this morning because it tasted too much of rosemary and thyme (what i roasted the duck with)

    So I've found I have this severe mental...block or something...when it comes to seeing others in pain, especially (but not limited to) family members.

    The other day my sister fell asleep and hit her head/nose on either the bathroom floor, bathroom wall, or bathtub - I'm still unsure which. There was so much blood and she was screaming/crying. I started shaking uncontrollably and couldn't look at her or be in the same room with her.

    Is...that extremely abnormal? I felt my behavior was kind of childish, to be honest. I mean I broke my own nose (well someone broke it for me, really), last year, and it wasn't really a big deal...I never even went to the doctor for it. I've been banged up a number of times. It just seems like it reduces me to a shriveled husk of a man to see someone else injured in that kind of way.

    I mean this wasn't the first time I've experienced something like this. I have serious issues with real life violence, especially involving a lot of potential pain or blood (though I'm not squeamish about blood itself). It is debilitating to say the least.

    Weird?

    going camping alone in Svalbard actually sounds like a swell time

    not sure if people would let me go alone as y'know

    I've never ridden a snowmobile, and I have no firearms training

    plus, not the biggest survivor man out there either

    still, it'd be fun

    Kagera, you do understand that oil needs to be "seasoned" to even be that good right.

    Like, golden brown fried things..whatever it may be, is only golden brown after its been used a good bit right

    If I had more time I would have selected even more awesome 80's songs. But given my track record of failing at making new [chat]s I felt like I was under the gun to produce a product quickly.

    I'm like the Bioware team that made KOTOR 2.

    Daxon, I don't know what you mean by "there's no such thing as a pain response", the way you rephrased it was pretty much exactly what I meant. Additionally the psychological aspect was exactly what I was getting at, the question was whether you would be able to keep on sword fighting after getting stabbed. I wasn't even referring to acute stress reaction, I was just saying that being in a different mental state would alter your reaction to getting stabbed, perhaps in a way that made it easier to continue operating if you were stabbed while already in a fight versus while relaxed.

    it's a not very expensive one, can't remember details about it. We haven't used it in ages.

    Anyway, it is a fragile thing nonetheless and baggage handlers are not the gentlest of souls.

    Also, I'd have to take it to wherever I was going, too.

    Also never accept fried fish from a church fish fry for any reason because it's pretty much a running gag at any given church that does fish fries that the fryer still has the same grease that was poured into it the first time it was used.
