I have questions:
Was the 7 minutes needed to get the drone OUT, or to get it IN before he arrived.

How does this identify if it has its target: has it got a variation on facial detection techniques for ass cheeks?

1.  In.  I might have to use the toilet, after all.

2.  It's not very discriminating.  37C +/2.

Imagine the scene from predator where he tricks the thermal sensor with mud to cool his skin, but in the bathroom and not the jungle, and not with mud

Rong do you have that listless feeling theseus had upon returning home, his adventures behind him, no more great works to be done,  that you have conquered and there is nothing more beyond

I've installed stopforumspam on email first, we can also enable IP and username if that looks like it will help
Also I was wrong about the questions, they ended up being turned off as they conflicted with the captcha for some reason they didnt play well together.
So currently we have stopforumspam on email and captcha, lets see if this loose net full of holes catches some of putins alts

possible to add an fill-in-the-blank question to registration? Just something like "if you're not a bot, type hello "

Theres actually two questions and a google captcha, which makes me think they are circumventing the registration process in some way (smf bug or outdated issue)

The one thing that would really help but I just have not had the time to do is integrate stopforumspam for their api, which would check if the email or domain is a dodgy one.
so even if they get past the registration process it just auto shitcans them at the end.

Ill have to watch that, since baba I don't play much of the long story games, just stuff I can play for 10 min or so and put down

hahah is this my fate? to only play games in 10 min chunks?
baby sleeps sometimes though, right? Surely you can fit in an RPG now and then? he asked hopefully

PD: The everyone is grown up season

I haven't really said have I  its not as bad as that, and its actually getting better, 3 months ago that was absolutely the case, you will be kept busy, especially if you are working during the day, and then helping out in the evening to give mam some time.

Its luck of the draw, but we got a no sleeper.
In terms of the las year, the first six months flew by because the new tasks, bottles, food to be prepared, baths, washing, cleaning the place, and they wake for feeding every 2 hours or so for the first 2 months, so that evaporates in a blink.
During this time you can still get lots done during the day, because they are happy in their little baskets, in between feeding and pooping sleeping.
Six months ish is when we started having less time, because babba becomes mobile, and the two big things that suddenly happened:
you realise your home is a Saw like deathtrap and literally everything needs to be locked up or get coated in rubber.
Showering goes from something you do every day to a luxury. 6 months to 1 year were incredibly busy

Now at this point most kids will go to bed from about 7-8pm and might wake once or twice, sleeping through the night at about a year. Maria goes to bed at like 9-10 and wakes crack of 7 each morning, which isnt terrible but she used to wake nearly every hour for months, the other problem, and this is entirely our fault, is someone needs to stay with her

Mistake number 1: Do not put the baby in your bed, you will never get them out.
We are trying to introduce the cot now because what happens at bed time is she goes to sleep in either my or mamas arms, means someone needs to keep an eye on her for the night so she doesnt crawl and fall out of the bed. Its not the worst and I am properly sleeping now, but it does mean less free time.

The ten min gaming is ideal for in between the bits and pieces that need to be done.

Experiences will vary, my brother got a lazy baby who loves their sleep.

Kelly Sue DeConnick had an interesting take on it.

"A year on, Ellis has reached out to the collective at https://www.somanyofus.com/ to begin a mediated dialogue. I’m not going to speculate on timing or motives, because I’m not a mindreader and frankly, in my experience, those things don’t matter. I’ve been alcoholic and addict in recovery for 21 years now. People frequently show up in AA and NA rooms because the court said they had to. And frequently, it works anyway"

Shes right of course, as she always is

As per the edit at the end, this article isn't entirely fair, he did put out an email, it was part fishing for forgiveness, commitment to grow as a person etc but importantly it was: "please dont hit the artist writing the comic coming out because I am attached" followed by clarifying he reached out to the group from last year. I dont think he wanted to come out of his hole yet.

I'm looking forward to him writing again: go forth writer and be a better person in the process, spider would have beaten you with the chairleg for what you did, but life goes on.
