    I'd hate for a baby carriage to roll away from me near those stairs... ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwM7NgPE5lw

    Just train pictures and train stories

    1500 volts DC is not especially high voltage in terms of railway electrification (amps and current are needed to make voltages dangerous) nor is it difficult to build an underground station with wires - most of the Tokyo subway system uses 1500v DC overhead electrification. Sometimes they use a...

    Skyrim Vs. Oblivion

    This is why I never bothered much with Elder Scrolls nor the two more recent Fallout games. The original one had a notorious followed called Ian (the first one you got) who'd say he was a good shot with an SMG, so naturally you'd give him one when you had one to spare. The moron would then...

    "What the h*** is wrong with women today?"

    I keep myself groomed, I keep myself fit and healthy; unfortunately, I think things I can't help like being introverted limit my appeal to women, because I don't have a confident swagger.

    Any wiiU or 3DS players out there?

    I have Animal Crossing, Pokemon Y and... Etrian Odyssey 4! If you like a really old school, really tough as nails RPG where you also get to draw your own map as you play, this is as good as it gets. If that's too hardcore, they've done a reissue of the original called Etrian Odyssey Untold: the...

    When I was a kid, this place was the biggest, and it was in Pennsylvania, not Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPqOs4K6r7w The guy who built it was famous because he'd made computer strategy games like The Perfect General and The Lost Admiral, and Computer Gaming World did a...

    Video I made of a coal train back when I lived in Wales: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLmglHCxKwc Cwmbargoed is an opencast coal mine and two to four times a day you've have one of these trains going up from Cardiff, right through my local station in Caerphilly and past my house to...

    Skyrim Vs. Oblivion

    Oblivion is still pretty good, though you should avoid starting the main quest until you intend to complete it, lest you stop halfway through and find the countryside is riddled with monster-spewing portals.

    Signs Used By Hearies

    The guy in the office next to me tapped on my window and then started making gestures, I responded by asking him what he was doing in ASL. He opened the door and said 'wow, you're like that fake interpreter guy from South Africa!' *facepalm*

    Signs Used By Hearies

    You mean, when they/we are trying to make a heart shape with their hands and don't bend the thumbs in enough?

    Any minecraft players?

    It takes a little while. Just imagine you live in a world where everything's made of Lego. So in your Lego world you have to go and cut down trees or dig if you want wood or stone like you would in the real world. OR turn on creative mode and then you can pick which blocks you feel like using...

    Apple devices

    Go across with an empty laptop case, buy new laptop, put it in the case, say it's your personal device. So you don't get the box it came in, big deal!

    Plans for spring?

    Wait for it to become summer. I either like it really cold or really hot, you can't go the beach in April!

    Apple devices

    I went into an Apple Store today... the modern equivalent of my MacBook Pro will cost me $2500 plus tax. I don't know why I am balking at this, considering I spend all day on it, but it just seems like a lot of money!

    Any minecraft players?

    You gather resources to build structures and tools to make it easier to gather resources. The whole world is made of cubes, so you can pick up a cube of dirt and put it somewhere else. Repeat and you can flatten a hill. Or you can mine stone to build a house or fortress. There are animals in...

    what do you like about hearing culture?

    Just wanted to add something to the music thing: I sometimes use it to help me sleep or leave my iPod/laptop on shuffle while I'm doing something else like cooking or cleaning. Especially while asleep, I will really *listen* to music. It's hard to describe but I feel like I have more brain...

    "What the h*** is wrong with women today?"

    Thank you for this excellent post. I have two close friends who are pan, and had to defend/explain that it's different from bisexuality on another forum when someone complained that it was just 'people making up stupid labels to make themselves look more interesting on dating sites.' :mad2:
