It's still pubic tier. My moustache is slowly getting a little thicker and I have a small bald spot behind my chin that's getting smaller, but I can hide it if I have any amount of hair on my chin.

Takes me like two months to get to full beardiness, though
um

Wrong thread.

Serious / Re: Roman ship found off the coast of Italy.
« on: December 16, 2015, 07:23:47 PM »
I won't begrudge another archaeological find even if it appears to offer no new information.

On the subject of Roman ships, apparently theirs a possibility that there was a Roman warship powered by oxen that just destroyed anything it rammed into.

Quote
Animal power, directed by the resources on ingenuity, drives with ease and swiftness, wherever utility summons it, a warship suitable for naval combats, which, because of its enormous size, human frailty as it were prevented from being operated by the hands of men. In its hull, or hollow interior, oxen, yoked in pairs to capstans, turns wheels attached to the sides of the ship; paddles, projecting above the circumference or curved surface of the wheels, beating the water with their strokes like oar-blades as the wheels revolve, work with an amazing and ingenious effect, their action producing rapid motion. This warship, moreover, because of its own bulk and because of the machinery working inside it, joins battle with such pounding force that it easily wrecks and destroys all enemy warships coming at close quarters

Do you just not have facial hair, then?
not enough to shave

i've been told that if i shave off what little i have right now, it'll start growing more

but i've also heard that that's a myth, so i don't even bother

It is. There are a number of people that rarely or never shave and have mighty beards.

I'd probably still have my head stuck in books.

Speaking of that what books do you suggest? I want to get some for Christmas. I know you're a book worm with great taste so I figure you would be the best guy here to ask.

I honestly haven't been reading very much recently, but I've heard good things about Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey.

I'd also personally recommend Charles Stross' Accelerando and Atrocity Archives, the former being a sort of whimsical space opera with some cyberpunk thrown into the mix and the latter being an orgy between James Bond, the IT Crowd and Lovecraft.

My brother's also big on Sci-Fi, and I know he likes Alistair Reynolds' Blue Remembered Earth. I don't know much about it, but my brother said the main character liked elephants a lot.

Those sound pretty cool. What are some of your suggestions for nonfiction books?

I typically avoid nonfiction, but I have a book on religion called the Heathen's Guide to World Religions by William Hopper that I thought was pretty good. And my brother recently got this, and it seems to have good reviews.

The last autobiography I read was A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, which I found pretty interesting.

Thoroughly unpleasant

I wouldn't be able to do my degree, talk with other humans, play video games, watch films, buy things without leaving my house

basically unliveable tbh

Really makes you wonder how humanity survived up until the '70s, huh?

Religion, sex, drinking, and fighting.

I don't, I'd kind of like to got to live in Africa for a year or two.

Mongolia is also on the list of interesting places I'd like to live.
My friend is from rural Mongolia, he came to U.S when he was 14 (he's 18 now)

He said they would sometimes smoke cow poop srs
What would that even achieve?

Poo breath?
