I don't know anything about that mod but it doesn't sound historical. Stacking limits do have the greatest effect in China, so if you wish I won't do absurd things if you won't, and I don't think you will. I am confident that neither of us will march restricted units across national borders, units that aren't even allowed to board ships, unless purchased out with PPs. I've managed to do that in the past though I think I caught myself doing that on one occasion and had to march the unit back where it belonged. In any case, I shall be merciful, swift and insufferable. [:D]

I
don't do "mods". Quiet China are scenarios 7-9 inclusive. Stock.

Are you saying you really want to do a "Quiet China"? Should I study it?

Should you study it? Sure! It's another option. I just suggested you look at it since you were blathering on about stacking limits , right after saying "no house rules". [:)]

Note that quiet China scenarios are only quiet when you are playing against the AI. There is no effect when playing PBEM.

This isn't funny but men on average have twice as many tastebuds as women but in compensation women smell better. Let me rephrase that, their olfactory sense is superior.

My SO can taste the different colors of M&Ms and I'm often amazed at how she can't smell things that are very clear smells to me. I also have a lot of taste buds. I saw a picture of a "super taster" tongue which is supposed to be an abnormally high level of taste buds. My tongue had even more than the picture.

There is a pheromone that men produce in their sweat that women can smell and it smells mucky to them. Men can't smell it. I was at the Exploratorium in San Francisco once and they had a kind of quiz on various traits some people have. One of them was to smell a bottle. I couldn't smell anything, but some women I was with were shocked because they smelled a strong musky scent. When we answered the question on the computer, it told us about the pheromone. It's also thought that even though men can't consciously smell it, it may make men agitated when it's around and it is one theory behind the British soccer riots. They happened in standing room only areas when people were crammed in cheek to jowl and all those bodies together (mostly men) may have concentrated the pheromone and made the men more agitated.

They also had other questions like whether you can do the Spock finger thing (I can), whether you can roll your tongue (can to that too), as well as a number of other traits.

I was quite annoyed I couldn't smell the pheromone though. It's one of the rare times someone else could smell something and I couldn't.

Tongue rolling has three dimensions:

- Most everyone can roll the tip of their tongue back, but a few cannot
- About 70% of people can curl the sides of their tongue upward
- but only a small percentage of people can curl the sides of their tongue downwards

When I heard that (in biology class) I wondered about the evolutionary path that would give some seemingly useless traits to some of the population. Curling the tip of the tongue up may help with pronouncing some sounds, but curling the sides ???

geofflambert -> RE: OT Things to ponder (12/5/2016 11:15:54 AM)

I cannot curl the tip of my tongue backward very far, but far enough to touch the top of my tongue. Some people can roll theirs up like a window shade. I can curl up the sides and make a functional drinking straw. BBfanboy, are you saying there are people who can do that in an inverted fashion? Are they "double jointed" as well?

Why was the first microwave called a microwave? Shouldn't it have been called a defridgitator?

I think the first mirowave oven was called a radar range...

Ayup. By Amana, IIRC. It looks like Raytheon-Tappan-Amana was the chain here, starting in 1946.

I don't trust microwaves and avoid them whenever possible. Call me a luddite.

Microwave = BEEP ! Your very hot dish of lukewarm mystery food is ready malnourish your children and yourself.

Now get the girls out to their activity.

They have their uses. Try this:

-Open a can of peaches and pour it into a good Corningware dish (heat resistant glass)
-Put two or three ounces of brandy in a glass measuring cup. Zap it in the microwave for about 30 seconds
-Remove the brandy and ignite it with a BBQ lighter, let it burn for a while until the alcohol is nearly burned up
-Pour the brandy on the peaches. The caramelized brandy give the peaches a great flavour.

I haven't tried it but heating rum to put on pineapple should be good too. Might not even have to burn off the alcohol. [:)]



Lecivius -> RE: OT Things to ponder (12/6/2016 7:48:32 PM)

Burning alcohol? Sacrilege!! [:-][:-][:-]



Will_L_OLD -> RE: OT Things to ponder (12/6/2016 10:51:08 PM)

Pour the brandy on the peaches before you light it and its even better!



Chickenboy -> RE: OT Things to ponder (12/6/2016 11:04:08 PM)

Pour the brandy first into a snifter and then into your mouth. Save the flame for later. Eat the peaches. Light up a nice cigar to enjoy with the snifter of brandy.
