I'm looking at you. And now I'm going to look away if nothing interesting comes of this.

No. The truth is, the routineness of it all. We're a small bunch. Personalities shine through in lower numbers. By now we all know each other to a fair degree.
Which leaves our options for talking, in an increasingly smaller window. An exhaust of metaphorical resources, those resources being new subjects, and interesting things to discuss. New faces to converse with. Even people to challenge in a conversation.
The well is running dry, so to speak.

If it makes you happy, I'm internally depressive and not proud.
There. Opposite statement made.
Your move slick.
Internally depressive?
wut
Maybe I've phrased it wrong. One word out of place makes all the difference. Gobbledy gook jargon with myself these days. Don't know how to phrase it right. Maybe it wasn't even depressive. I think I dun goofed on both words.

Friend of mine ordered their yearly batch of authentic Maple products from Quebec. In part of that shipment, there were several little containers. One such of those is sitting in my fridge. And I just happened to try it.
Mother of fuck. It's like addictive diabetes in a can.
It's not maple syrup. And it's not sugarized or caramelized maple syrup. It's smooth. Like butter. That shit can spread on toast. Gonna try myself a new thing in the morning.
Also, curious. Any of you folks ever try legitimate real deal maple products from Quebec? Expensive as fuck but nothing beats them.

I hope you're not indirectly implying that gun control would've prevented this.
Guns should have never been legal in the first place in the US. Gun control won't fix the massive mistake that was made when the 2nd Amendment was made, and now the only solution is going to be some crazy, outside-the-box sort of thing.
So no, gun control isn't an effective solution to gun crime.
It's to prevent tyranny. Also, there are still people like my grandfather who live out in the countryside who need a gun in order to protect their livestock.
Ah the age old "prevention of tyranny" excuse. Applicable to the old times, perhaps. But not now. It's a quaint little thing, those arguments. Fully fledged circles. Round and round it goes.

To sum it up better than I did. The second amendment was primarily made to give the civilian populace the power to overthrow their government if they deemed it a tyrannical one. This, was a fair policy a few hundred years ago when their was only guns. Now, the civilian populace would have to go up against artillery, attack choppers, jets, drones, tanks, and of course, infantry with better equipment. The second amendment's true purpose is often forgotten about and simplified down to, "Everybody gets guns just because." As such, the second amendment is out of date. It no longer applies to its original meaning. And it's just used as a scapegoat and an excuse to have guns. Which, to be fair, the problem can no longer be fixed. You take away the guns by introducing stricter gun laws and the civilian populace will be harmed greatly because of the staggering number of gun related crime and criminals. As such. Like I said. Everybody's played their hand. And all we can do is sit back and see what happens.

No. I'm just stating that this a circular argument. Present anything even remotely suggesting that guns can be an issue + a patriot = Denial, the 2nd amendment excuse, and shifting the subject matter. AKA the subject going from the 2nd amendment and its outdated practice in the modern age in concerns to how much power the US Government could exert with military force over the civilian populace, shifting to all the way overseas to North Korea. Circular argument. It'll just keep going round and round.

Funny enough, I think I'm starting to develop a keyword system whenever I listen to anything in the news. One of these keyword systems is related to news articles in the US.
If I hear or see any of these words, "Gun," "US," "America," "Any one of the 50 states," and "Shooting," in the same sentence together, then I skip the news because I already know the outcome.
Asshole people with guns
Asshole people with guns shoot people
People die
Asshole people with guns get shot by other people with guns
Asshole people die
How dreadfully exciting and positive.

Can you really just jump in to help fight a fire without getting in the way?
I mean, don't you have to have some training at least?
In this instance, there wasn't any other option. The farmers and townspeople coming to help had no training in firefighting. They used shovels, dirt, garden hoses, and tractor spray pumps. Remember. The firetruck in my town had to go out there. That means, the fire started, somebody called the authorities, who then called the fire department. The firefighting folks suited up, got in their truck, and left. Even at the fastest they could go, getting out to that little town is a 40 minute trip no matter how fast you go. By the time they got there, the house was burnt down and the fire was spreading to the fields, in which case, they put the remainder of it out. So, yes, you can help. Fire isn't some mystical thing. You smother it and drench it in water. You form lines of men or women to section it off with dirt or water.

would have played hell with your lungs though, considering the smoke.
Probably. Wouldn't be surprised if I got scorched as well, considering my shit tolerance to heat. Apparently the heat on that wall was nasty. Multiple people said the fire went up to at least 50 feet into the air. Shifted with the winds. At the very least, I can go and check out the aftermath when I stop buy.

Late afternoon, I heard firetruck sirens and the town fire alarm. Didn't think nothing of it. But apparently, a little town on one of the grids had a fire problem. Our town is 40 mins away from it so the firetruck would have never made it in time.
The fire was so bad that farmers in the area came to help. From the story my brother in law told it would have been a sight to see. The entirety of that small town pitched in to help, my brother in law and other farmers took shovels and dirt to smother the fire and even a few farmers came with their farming equipment and water tanks.
The winds were strong today and long after the building that caught fire burnt down in the middle of town, the fire spread to the grass and just about made it to other buildings.
A shame. Would have liked to help. And I'm sure the sight would have been interesting.
No deaths, thankfully.

That's what you get for being Irish. They should've had Verbatim for parents.
I don't feel any symphony for these people.
I too, don't hear wonderful music coming from the homeless. Perhaps if all the homeless people were excellent singers, I would pay them more sympathy because I could I pay to listen to their symphonies.

You got it partner. They're even making laws now. British Columbia. It's now illegal to own a garden in the city. Even if it's on your property. Over here in my province. Farm eggs not registered under a company name are illegal to sell in a business and illegal to distribute.
What the fuck, are you serious? And here I thought that the US had it the worst. Something really needs to be done, but the industry has quite skillfully spread the idea that anyone against GMOs or pesticides is just a tinfoil wearing conspiracy theorist. It's messed up.
Yes sir. I've never told a lie here. Maybe spun some dramatacism up with honeyed words in the past. But never lie, no. This is barebones truth. My country is right in the middle of a battle with expanding corporations. My province is in the process of being converted, along with all the others in Canada, and our government, current government I should say, our prime minister, bends over backwards for corporations and american politics.

Because if their claims are true, and they can deliver what they want to make, then this game will be a fantastic couch game. You can pick it up. Go on an adventure. The scale of their game is enormous.
The distance between everything, feels distant, so to speak. And what will it hopefully have going for it that they intend to add?
-Crafting and building system
-Space combat
-Planetside combat
-Spaceships
-Factions that interact with each other while you watch the fireworks/participate
-A multiplayer lobby/party system, so that you can bump into other travelers across the galaxy
-An engine that generates every planet, system, star, lifeform, and environment
-Spaceships
-Atmospheric transitions from space to planet
-SPACESHIPS AND SCI-FI LAZERS
The game itself is founded on something special. Almost like the real world, "Old Western Frontier."
You're an explorer in a vast land that's wild, lawless, and mysterious. All the doors are open to you.
That's why it's appealing. It's a game that you'll hopefully be able to just pick up and go, whenever you want.

Nothing. There's nothing wrong with GMOs.
Ah, another one drinks the kool aid.
And genetically modifying organisms through things like breeding selection and such is fine. It's existed for ages. But the modern GMO only exists due to poisonous chemicals and toxins changing the molecular structure of the plant. In other words, stay away at all costs. People who actually defend Monsanto and contemporary GMOs are brainwashed, simple as that.
I didn't figure you'd know much in the way of plant biology, class.
You don't have to be a doctor to know that cigarettes are bad for your lungs, just like you don't need to be a biologist to know that Roundup-sprayed plants are literally poison.
Save for one thing. GMO opposition is heavily downplayed and generally, tried to be stifled and swept under the rug. Most people don't even know what a GMO is if you ask them. You have to do a bit of digging to figure out what exactly a GMO is, let alone to wager that it's bad.
I guess that's true, but I generally see the GMO enablers as knowing that they're terrible for you, but choosing to keep consuming their Cheetos and shit out of laziness anyway.
I always buy organic, but it's not like I'm going to impose that on others.
Right. Standard procedure in the industry then. Now. Question.
Do you know what crop desicating means? Off the top of your head. No google or wiki. You should know this. Cause this one's a kicker. Almost as bad as GMO's. Worse, even.
Of course, that's partly what I was referring to earlier when I said "roundup-sprayed plants". GMOs and herbicides are both terrible, but the true threat is when they're used in conjunction. Especially once you learn that Monsanto's main goal is to eliminate heirloom seeds completely, so they would have a fucking monopoly on FOOD. And if our government doesn't grow some balls and kick out Monsanto lobbyists in Washington, heirloom seeds will be illegal by the end of the next decade.
And he bats it outta the fuckin' park.You got it partner. They're even making laws now. British Columbia. It's now illegal to own a garden in the city. Even if it's on your property. Over here in my province. Farm eggs not registered under a company name are illegal to sell in a business and illegal to distribute. If there were ever a true example of corporate slime, those food companies, oh boy. Keep eating those natural foods class. Stay classy.

This one time, I shoveled a dump truck worth of sand into a pit, and spread all the sand out and shaped it.
Only to have the boss come over and say that there were errors in the blueprints. And that the sand needed to be removed from the pit. By hand. In a wheelbarrow. Lifted back out of the pit. All of it. A dump truck's worth.
Boy I tell ya hwat.

Like Irish said. GMO's have the potential to disrupt native ecology. AKA the Monarch Butterfly going onto the endangered species list practically overnight when they began eating GMO crops. Second, while GMO crops are sterlized to prevent spreading, this, handy enough, like Irish said, generates a monopoly. If your crops never regrow after one harvest, then you have to buy more. Maximum profit on the company selling it and a complete dependancy on them.
Third, with laws being introduced that restrict home grown foods these days, all this leaves are the companies. And while GMO's are sterile, companies keep taking over more, and more land, effictively blotting out any original crops to be had, which therefore in conjunction with current laws, makes the majority of the populace completely dependant on them, and therefore, subject to whatever the company wishes to do.
You'd be a fool to think that GMO's are completely safe. We discover new things all the time, for example, plastic test tubes. They dilute samples by leeching some of their compounds into the sample. It could mean years worth of botched results and diluted outcomes. Cancers, are discovered all the time from things that were previously thought safe.
And fourth, as GMO usage rises, and replaces natural foods, it leaves us open to a major plothole. Stagnation. GMO's are identical. There is no variety in them. There's no flexability to them. If something ever devolped that could target GMO crops, we'd be fucked.
And fifth, which is a simple personal matter. I've had both GMO food and organic, natural food. Organic will always beat it.
I don't give a fuck if you can grow a GMO strawberry that's 5x the size of a regular stawberry. It has no fucking flavor to it. It's just a pile of tasteless vegetable matter when compared to it's natural, albeit smaller counterpart.
GMO's aren't the devil, no. But they are being abused and it's just another dam waiting to break its banks.

See, I've been around these things. Have some experience with assembling all sorts of things like this and I know what's required.
But the problem here is, distance. You can't instruct shit over the internet when it comes to constructing something. Whenever you build something, and help somebody, you have to be there in person.
As simple as a desk sounds in concept, you've no idea what you're getting yourself into. Especially, if you want to do things correctly. All I can provide for assistance would be some ideas for what you'll need. And, perhaps, if I get really motivated, I could help you by trying to make examples to show you.
I know that a desk isn't a simple concept at all, which is why as a novice I want to figure it out.
Like the others said. Before you do anything you need a plan of assembly. Or, for instance, you can use something to your advantage. Those two desks in your picture. You could set them up in a manner that you want to see a full time desk. And measure their bits and pieces. Essentially, you could copy pasta the original two desks, replicate them into something better, take the old parts of the now defunct stuff, and reattach them to where they need to go. Tried to make my point, having difficulty right now.
