    If it’s any consolation, young men are seldom taught social skills, and often have difficulty with this kind of thing. Women are also taught not too be direct, as it’s too forward.

    I’d say have a laugh about the absurdity of it, chalk it up as a learning experience, and move on.



  • I’ve only partially researched this, but I’m pretty sure it’s actually an ancient carry over from when NTSC changed to colour. Wikipedia says it switched from 60hz to 59.94  “to eliminate stationary dot patterns in the difference frequency between the sound and color carriers”. They just kind of kept doubling it and we ended up with these odd refresh rates, I’m guessing for NTSC TV compatibility.


  • I’m convinced that the difference between good Turkish delight and a bad one must be a hell of a gulf. Aside from the Cadbury stuff I’ve only had really good Turkish delight, and it’s a nice light treat. The mrs hadn’t had the good stuff before, and swore she hated it before she tried it.

    Technically for the first three planets you don’t need anything. I’ve done all three with only power armour and legs (because I’m too impatient to walk). That being said, bringing a stack of your standard belts, grabbers and machines goes a way towards making that first initial base a lot quicker.




  • Finding people annoying isn’t the problem, people will always be annoying. If you find yourself exploding over small stuff, it means your mental resources for suppressing and tolerating such things have been depleted. Changing how you think of people can help, but I would examine your lifestyle as a whole and figure out why you aren’t able to maintain said mental resources. You may not be resting enough, you may have other problems. It might be hard at first if you’ve not explored this stuff before, but it’s well worth it in the long run.

    Don’t dismiss physical problems as a possibility either. Something that was surprising to me was blood pressure, apparently it was causing me to fly off the handle at times. Literally all it took was some minor weight loss and eating musli, and suddenly I’m fine again.
