They’re called public schools because anyone could attend them as long as they paid the cost. They were the alternative to private schools which were for nobles or religious training etc that you couldn’t buy in to. Comprehensive schools, free schools for anyone, came a lot later.

Plan the activity with a smaller group than you would want initially. Then invite others to an already organized event and rely on fomo to get people to go. Works great.

Disclaimer: I don’t do that.

But as other have said, layers trap warm air better than 1 thick layer. This is the theory behind double glazed windows. Also why multiple thin blankets warm more than one thick one.

So long Johns, vest/light t, long sleeves T-shirt, sweater, and coat. Strip down or keep on as desired.

Should we write our own vows?

Yeah, is it okay if mine is a performance piece? It may be a bit avant garde though. I think your sister would get it.

What an introduction.

I think it depends on the school. Monty Python were all Cambridge boys and mocked Oxford for the exact same thing, Oxford has a huge reputation for nepotism.

I focus for 15 minutes as I don’t have time for 4 hours, but then they end and I realize I’ve lost another day.

Honestly, I think the bank job at the beginning of the game as part of the story being removed could fix a lot. Nothing makes sense when the plot revolves around making more money and you have so much you never have to worry about it. I thought I accidentally found an exploit or something.

But there’s so many strange ideas. Like you reach st. Denis and are able to buy fancy clothes, but your character looks like shit at this point which ruins the whole thing. Who thought that was a good idea?

The whole game is a confusing mess.

Fundamentally, the game acts like it’s a huge open world game where you live a cowboy, but in reality the whole thing funnels you into a boring and annoying story.

Hours of tutorials on all the things you can do in the game, but while you’re playing you can’t be bothered to sit through the same skinning, cooking, hunting, tracking crap over and over when baked beans do the job better.

This pretty much sums the whole game up, you have so much money from the first storyline bank job, you never need to do a single side quest and all the features are repetitive busy work so they’re not worth doing on their own merit.

The morality system is pointless when the character’s arc is completely set by the story other than the last 1 decision which makes any difference at all.

Nothing in the game is difficult, so just using the same tactics of revolver or rifle solves literally everything. Or the pre mentioned baked beans if you actually need a heal at any point.

The whole thing feels like too many ideas that don’t work together.

Rdr2 sucks anyway, it’s the Avatar of videogames.

It’s okay. 2 was a little rough. 3 was really fun. 4 had some great moments but a bit of a letdown. Worth a binge, but doesn’t live up to season 1.

The sequel was completely inevitable. You could argue it was all because of one person, but that person appearing was basically predetermined.

And cool sticks

If you have literally no experience at all, I’d pick and choose some great standalone episodes to get started with.

Some ideas: TOS: Balance of terror/Space seed. TNG: Drumhead/Darmok. DS9: The House of Quark/Trials and tribulations (harder to find good standalone episodes as so many of the best are part of the main plot. VOY: Eye of the Needle/The Void.

The 2 parter DS9 and voyager opening episodes are both also pretty good places to start.

Well, you seen what the Scottish eat?

Got recommended Pete playing risk in a world tournament. No idea why but it was one of those 2 hour videos you don’t expect to finish and I watched the whole thing and am now hooked.

Is the sudden personality change as drastic as it reads?

Sudden switches like that could be a sign of a serious medical condition, mid 20s is I believe a common age for these things to kick in too.

I’d talk to the brother about it coming from an angle of concern.

This was a presumably quite expensive one (the house it was in was outrageous) in the UK. Did our friend group’s Christmas dinner at one of their parents places in the country. Trying to cook dinner for 16 was a huge pain using that thing.

Urgh, it’s going that way in London too.

Pretty sure there’s plenty of ‘beards’ in the Republican party.
