But those were your last 2 neurons, @StableInvadeel ....

@ThanosReXXX the door frame is about 2m tall.

The problem is I'm also about 2m tall.

So yeah I shouldn't be jumping around tbh.

What's that in feet, @StableInvadeel .... ? 6'6/7'? Go & play some basketball or something

That's one I certainly haven't heard before

Google says about 6'5 - 6'6

I'm shocked, @StableInvadeel ....

@StableInvadeel Ah, the old "happily/enthusiastically jumping around, and forgetting all about the upper door post" disaster. I can definitely relate to that one, being almost 6'4 myself. Although with age, comes a slight increase in wisdom, and creaky bones, so one thing I can promise your future you: these types of accidents will definitely happen less frequently...

Don't worry, as long as there's movement in my bones, chances are I'll hit something at least a few times every year.

Not just door frames! There was once this air conditioning unit, and another time it was a shop sign... I was running that time too.

Ah the memories... Or the loss of them.

@StableInvadeel Well, I left out "but you'll definitely bump into more things and will drop more things" on purpose, in the previous comment. Didn't want to make you feel too bad about growing old already...

Better start saving up for Life Alert, y’all.

So Friday the 13th is apparently good luck for Pokemon Go. I stepped out of my apartment to come to work and there was exactly one Pokemon, a shiny Feebas!

One of my favorites! I actually bred one shiny in XY too, but man this was a VERY nice surprise!

@NEStalgia Japan is strict about how they handle foreigners, but once you're in they only ship you out if you actually violate the law. Otherwise they love it when we as as wacky as their own nerds. My coworkers still get surprised when they hear me understand an anime reference even though they all know I'm a massive otaku even by Japan standards.

@Heavyarms55 I was about to correct you but then I remembered you live in the future.

@StableInvadeel Hello from tomorrow!

I don't believe 13 is an Unlucky number.
I was number 13 in the class from 43 students when i was grade 12 and nothing bad happened to me.
13 was also the number of my Drastic changes of my gaming habit from pirated gamer into Original gamer (2013)
I oftenly write Capital B letter for my fictional character's outfit as number 13.

I light-heartedly complain about how fast this thread moved sometimes, but The Nintendo Switch Thread is arguably worse.

@StableInvadeel Whew! That's pretty tall! I used to work with a guy who was 6'7", and he'd frequently make jokes about his own height. "The weather's fine up here! What's that? I can't hear you!"

@Ryu_Niiyama Thanks! I am for the most part. The worst was that I had a semi with very bright lights behind me at one point. I could have easily done the 35-40 minute drive without taking the interstate, but i also wanted to get home sooner.

I generally prefer the company of guys as, in my personal experience, they tend to gossip less and seem less superficial. (Not that I've never met a guy like this.) I never seemed to fit in with most females due to my hobbies and introverted nature; I was and still am your stereotypical bookish type who also likes anime and video games (the latter two judged as kiddie or boy hobbies in my youth). It didn't help that some of the ladies at my previous job (HR and day-to-day operations, but the company was small enough that I interacted with nearly everyone on a regular basis) got into some toxic conversations. Ever since college when I gravitated into software development - heck, this probably started in high school when I was playing WoW even - I've been mostly surrounded by guys. Very little of their talk has ever made me uncomfortable. There isn't a lot of locker room talk at my current job to my knowledge, though a lot of those guys are either married, taken, or at least try to keep the atmosphere professional on that front. XD

All that said, my two closest friends are female. Not the superficial types either. We've had some pretty deep conversations.

@ThanosReXXX No night blindness. The photosensitivity was mainly caused by a building headache related to a couple of factors, one of which was the fact that silly me forgot to bring eye drops for my very dry (at that point) eyes. I've had mild dry eye on and off for a couple of years, but the effects are/will be temporarily worse for a little while due to my surgery. It had only been four hours at that point since I had last used them, which is normal. However, sitting that long in an air-conditioned car and a dry building didn't do me any favors.

I had to be careful with night driving for a couple of weeks after my surgery. The light halos were pretty intense. XD

@ThanosReXXX this is a true statement .... Except the garbage stove doesn't really work well so i use a much better portable induction burner. But only one burner........ . It's definitely an unventilated closet though...

@StableInvadeel Are you like the tallest person in Mexico? Ive never thought of Mexico as a land of tall people... Not quite Japan sized but certainly not 6ft being a common finding...

@Ryu_Niiyama steal an extra jamocha in my name. I'm entitled to one!

The trouble for me is that where that remote Arby's is is not only far out of the way, but it's directly across the street more or less from 2 of my favorite places that are both unique, better quality than Arby's and better value to boot (and one is literally an actual left over malt shop from the early 60s.... So their shakes are 3x bigger, 8x better and 30% cheaper than any franchise shop. Steel tumbler or bust. To if i go out that far it's impossible to justify going to Arby's instead. If they were closer I'd be there!

Hah I know at least three other people who are just as tall here in town.

I am the tallest in the family though. So that’s something.

@Anti-Matter I don't actually believe in unlucky days or numbers in general. It's just a little superstition.

His comment was about as necessary as yours saying his wasn’t, though 😂

Remember folks, stay away from Crystal Lake!

@Link-Hero if i were to be assigned a space mission, i most definitely would not pick one numbered 13 though.....
