      @CypherHoof embrace the big ass pan then :orly:

      Oh, I do - when I decided I preferred a pan to a wok, I shifted to a 12" Tefal - but currently mostly use the 11" copperstone for that.

      But the pressure-fried chicken has a distinctive taste the standard panfry chicken doesn't

      @Koncova After all these years of watching the show, that's a question I still struggle to find an answer for. I have a lot of favourites for various different reasons. But I don't think I have an overall favourite. Or at the very least, it's really hard to choose. :mlp_laugh:

  3. Darn it! Near the start of the month I ordered this double breasted waistcoat that I really-really liked.

    [Images deleted due to cleaning out my attachments folder]

    It never got shipped so now I have to settle for a refund. Sure I already a have a two button variant. But still... I really wanted it. :yeahno:

    On the bright side though, my flu has cleared up! Now I can actively work on stuff again. :kirin:

    I was just changing the light bulb in my room since the previous one went kaput last night. Anyway, as I was fitting the new bulb, I was struggling to see what I was doing and so the Derpy part of the brain suggests "Why not turn the light on to see what you're doing?" :muffins:

      @DemeowHiya I've had times where I've been making a cup of tea and turned around to put the kettle in the fridge ebfore stopping myself. :ButtercupLaugh:

      @Samurai Equine The closest I can get to that is where I've picked up the TV remote without realising that I'm trying to use it upside down. "Huh? Are the batteries dead? Nope! Only the ones in my brain." :muffins:

  7. So my brother has brought me home two large bags of Doritos Collisions. Two flavours in one bag. Current one I'm eating is "Honey Glazed Rib" flavoured combined with "Lemon Blast" flavoured. Really nice, although the lemon ones occasionally taste like a cleaning product of some description.

      I used to be a huge sour cream and onion fan too (including those Pringles). :D And Estrella's Manhattan chips (they only use that name in Finland for some reason :ooh:) were always the clear number one for me. But then I found chili chips, and there was no way back!

      @Splashee That old Estrella bag... :pinkie: The one from 2000 is the one I remember best for some reason. :rarity:

      @Treeglow Flicker I hope so... :kindness: There's a new one I haven't tried yet, maybe that one will be similar! :ticking:

      Splashee

      Oh no the 2000 one!!! LOL no, that one was my depression times. It kept me happy while the rest of my life was going into the trash, but I found my way out of that. Still, the bag reminds me of a time, where I was watching the music video Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood, peak depression time, lol!

  10. Good morning!

    I've just gotten finished with reading through my status updates. It's sad to see some fellow ponies are moving on. I'm not sure of the full details as to why that is the case. However, something within the mist has been bothering ponies. I hope that they change their minds and decide to stick around. I don't really want to be a busy-body and start prying into what has been happening while I've slept.

    I personally don't have any intention of leaving.

    But whatever it is that may bother ponies either now or in the future, I hope you all stick around and do everything that you can to protect what this place really means to you from whatever it is that sows such discord. Nopony should have something they enjoy ruined by what can be concluded to be in most cases social napalm.

    Anyway. I hope you all have a fantastic day.

    Here! Take this Apple Bloom with you to help you on your journey.

  11. I'm looking at doing a bit of Spring cleaning with my profile and stuff.

    Does anyone know how to delete old attachments under "My Attachments"? There used to be a way, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. :confused:

      @Samurai Equine Sure, no worries. c:

      I still kinda don't get why would one want to keep it clean there. :P

      It's totally okay to leave random attachments that were used only once be, I have tons of such attachments myself.

      Could it be because it's harder to find the attachment you look for among spam?

      What I do is to give the attachments I use often meaningful names. For example, I named my emoji attachments like "e-twithonk", "e-twibigbrain" etc.. That "e-" stands for "emoji-" and when I want to browse my emoji attachments, I simply type "e-" in the search bar and attachments are filtered to show only emojis. I have many pages of random trash, that all have either a date-of-creation as a name automatically given by screenshooting or random letters and numbers that make no sense and these don't get on my way when I'm looking for something.

      You could use such trick to organize attachments and create, let's say, categories or folders that way. Atm I use "e-" prefix for emojis, but i could put something like "p-" at the start of filename for pictures I'd be using often or something. Basically anything specific in the name that other random attachments won't have does the trick.

       

      Welp, that's what I do at least, cleaning my attachments would take a while as I have tons of them and idk, personally I wouldn't want to randomly ruin my older posts. Of course I'm not saying you can't delete them, do that if you must. :P

    3. Samurai Equine

      Samurai Equine

      @Rikifive

      For me, it's just an organization thing.

      I use to be super unorganized with where I store files on my computer. Sometimes, I still get a little unorganized. However, I am doing much better these days, and that included deleting files I just don't need any more. It's just part of the process for me. I try to apply the same level of organization on my internet accounts. :ooh: I think some of the things I uploaded here, I only did so because the other places I use were down at the moment. I suppose I can now rectify that.

    4. Rikifive

      Rikifive

      @Samurai Equine Yeah, relatable. At first I also tried to keep my attachments tidy, but I post images and the like way too often, so it quickly became a hassle to manage. And, I prefer to leave my images be in my old posts, because stuff like missing images in my posts trigger me lol. It kinda looks like as if I used some budget 3rd party site to host images, which then expired. :mlp_icwudt:

      I stopped caring and started naming attachments I care about properly, while leaving other random stuff with random names. :P 

      Also, browsing through my attachments is like watching an album of stuff from the past, even though it's a mess. :BrightMacContent: It's not my storage space being used, so attachments go brrr e-twithonkwoke.png

      Either way, yeah, do whatever works for you. :lookup:

  12. Those who know me really well know that I hate politics. And with a passion. However, even I 'have' to keep an eye on what's going on from time to time. Making sure that I flush out the horrors and stupidity I encounter with healthy doses of satire afterwards to make sure that I don't catch anything nasty. However, some news artciles do have the ability to give me a random chuckle from time to time. For example, the bolded part of this excerpt:

    "Also taking part in the election is Labour's Tom Davies, Liberal Democrat Jane Doods, UKIP's Liz Phillips and Lady Lily the Pink of the Monster Raving Loony Party."

    I love it when a boring sentence gets killed with a sense of the random. :P

    I really-really wish I could just get rid of all the rending on the house now. I know it doesn't look much from the photo, but if the masonry was cleaned up and repointed properly, it would add a heck of a lot more character to the place.

    Also some additional photos using my crappy camera. Seeing as I had it out to take pictures of the above. Anyway. Here's some pictures of my beloved cat, Phoebe.

  18. It sure is hot and sunny today. :kirin:

    Hopefully it'll be like this at the weekend for when the viewers come to look at the house. It would be nice if they end up being impressed enough to make an offer on the spot. My only concern is that they make an offer that I'm personally happy with, but my brother decides to be an arse. I don't know how many times I've asked him what the exact minimum he would personally be happy to see the place go for. Seriously, it's bloody important that I know what haggle room I have between what we actually want and the full price. Shrugs and contrarian statements about not giving it away is not a bloody answer to my question. Of course we're not going to give the place away. What does he take me for? Just give me a damn figure of the minumum you're happy to see the place go for! :yeahno:

    Seriously. My mum used to always praise him as some sort of genius. "Brain like a calculator" She used to say. Perhaps one that has been introduced with a hammer. What Zephyr Breeze is to Fluttershy, my half-brother is to me. Honestly, I can understand why Luna went full Nightmare Moon on her sister.

    Selling side of things aside, I really need to look at somehwere to actually live in the event of actually selling and moving. Maybe I should get my own Trixie wagon? :P

    maxresdefault.jpg

    Anyway. Sibling based ranting aside. I hope you are all having a fantasitc day! Tell me what you've been up to if you want. Tell me absolutely everything and don't skip on any of the details. :kirin:

    4. Treeglow Flicker

      Treeglow Flicker

      @Samurai Equine I just want the minimum figure for negotiation purposes in the event that the estate agent informs us of any counter offers from viewers, I can just give a straight forward yes or no. Or if a counter offer given is too low, then try and haggle upwards up to the amount we would be happy with.

  19. Just suddenly thinking about something. :dash:

    There's a particular forum feature I would really love to have. :eager:

    Now I admit that I can be a bit of a potty mouth online and the one thing I do try and be is careful around here with my language. And to be absolutely honest with myself, that doesn't always go according to plan. Kind of surprised that I haven't been called out for it by moderation for it in the past. Who knows? Maybe I am more controlled than I think. :P

    Anyway. To the point of a personal forum feature that I would love.

      @Samurai Equine I'm curious what it would have done if you wrote it in kana. Would it have picked up that "shi" and "te" are different characters. Surely it would. But the thought of the algorithm having a mental break down over it would be hilarious. :ticking:

    3. Rikifive

      Rikifive

      @Samurai Equine The character minimum counter hardly works and you want to add a swear counter to it? You want to make users' devices overheat? pinkielmao32.png

      Seriously though, that probably would be possible, but I doubt it would be a good idea. A swear counter could incorrectly imply, that swearing is totally allowed as long as the counter lets you post. In reality, swearing is frowned upon, but occasionally doing so within reason is not the end of the world. Besides, swearing on purpose, once in every single post would be something I'd personally deem too much, and that counter wouldn't stop such users from doing so, even if the limit would be set to only one.

      If not that, users could bypass that limit through multi-posting.

      In the end swearing kind of falls under quality of content, and it's hard to measure it in numbers.

       

      ---

      In regards to kana, I doubt it would pick it up, or at least in this software. I could check that...

    Tonight feels like Celestia moved the Sun a little too close to the planet. The heat I can cope with. The sweating on the other hand is a nightmare. It feels like I can't stay clean for five minutes. It's making me grouchy and complainy. Not to mention what it is doing to my skin. :yeahno:

      I think your grouchy and complainy updates are still marvelous! Mainly because you use such UK English words I have never heard before! You have an advantage over many here, for having the vocabulary of real old fashion English, or crazy modern UK slang, and it is fantastic!

  22. It's been one of those downer days for me today. Just tried sleeping it off to no avail. Why is it that each year has to introduce some new cloud of darkness for me to defeat? What the bloody hell do I have to do on this planet for some peace of mind and for once, feel like I can make a place for myself in this world? For once to feel like I actually have a life? How many more bloody ordeals do I have to defeat and slay? What sort of demonic being is this world trying to turn me into?

    Seriously, reality? Why do we keep having to fight it out? My claws are just as long and sharpe as yours, you know! The more you claw and bite at me! The more I claw and bite back at you! If you want me to fail! You're going to have to kill me! And if you kill me, then I just enter a completely new life! So either way I win! So you might as well just give up and leave me to a peaceful existence!

    *smashes chair over reality's head* :Cozy:

    Seriously though. I'm fine. Just a downer day.

      Not particulary proud of my huffy side. I prefer folks to see my happy and cheerful side. However, it's bad to keep my huffy side bottled away. Been there and it's exhausting.

      Its a fine line, really. Friends will be there for you when you are down, and won't expect you to pretend to be something you aren't. But human nature being what it is, you don't want to push that too far either.

      if Starlight gets more powerful as she gets angrier, does that mean that she can eventually reach a power level higher than discord?

      I am not sure anger is involved. GlimGlam is one of the most OP unicorns in the show, and is probably more powerful than Starswirl; she is certainly at least on a par with an Alicorn.

      Discord's chaos magic is on a whole other level though. I find it scary to contemplate what would have happened if Pinkie had been allowed to keep it....

      Yeah I do agree that Starlight is really powerful and she probably is more powerful than Starswirl, although he is a lot more knowledgeable about magic than her.

      She definitely is more powerful than Cadance, and probably an equal to Twilight. Twilight is just a better magic user overall since she has a greater knowledge about magic. 

      Discord is OP loool. He possesses so much power, to the point that Pinkie and Cozy Glow just couldn't control it. 

      If Pinkie had been allowed to keep it ^_^ lets just say that life as we know it will never be the same again.

      I can relate to that feeling at some level. Also it's only healthy to vent out the pressure sometimes.

  23. It's just gone past midnight and my stomach is making very loud growling noises. If I still have chicken in the freezer, I'm making a curry. It's never the wrong time to make and eat a curry. :nom:

  24. A good day to you all.

    Your fortune from my hat today is:

    "In the event of fire, don't use the stairs. Use water instead. But not on an electrical fire. In the event of an electrical fire, carbon dioxide is your friend. Additionally, flapping your arms around in a mad panic will do very little to deter the burning of your surroundings."

    Anyway. I hope you are all doing well out there. :P

  25. Thanks for making a mess out in the garage dear brother of mine... It's not like it took me a whole month or anything to sort through and clean it. :unamused:

    Also, despite myself requesting for him to leave any dirty washing up on the side so that I can immediately use the sink, he still dumps his plates and bowls straight into the sink half scraped off. It adds an extra half an hour to the time it would normally take me to do the washing up because I have to fish out slime covered plates and cutlery from a gunge filled sink. Then I have to wash the sink so that it is once again in a useable state. There have been occasions where I have found sweet wrappers either in the bowl or plug hole. If he is going to dump his crap in the sink, he could at least scrape off any remnants of food into the bin and give them a slight rinse off first. :unamused:

    I really hope we sell the place nice and quick come the new year. I'm not his bloody maid!

      @Bastian Well, it is good advice. I mean if I was living together with a brother like that, I would probably need to calm down. It is different for different persons. maybe because I usually never vent. I just keep the lid on until I boil over (which is bad).

      I was just pretty much ranting... :confused:

      Seriously. As annoying as my brother can be. It pales in comparison to A LOT of things I've dealt with in the past. Aye, he's frustrating, but it's nothing that I would get openly angry about. I might joke about wanting to launch him into the sun with a trebuchet from time to time. But the truth is I'm waaaay too experienced with past troubles to let any real anger take hold.

      I'm not fuming or angry. I'm perfectly calm. I'm not actually upset as such. Just ranting to vent out an annoyance. And seeing as I lack anyone in my life to have afternoon tea or coffee with to vent and gossip about daily happenings, I sometimes dump a rant here on occasion.

      Although my brother turning around and saying that the "house is a shit hole and that it needs to be cleaned three hours a day" the other week was damn rude on several levels. It still pales in comparison to what I witnessed from him and my uncle on the day my mother died.

      They are what they are. Just best to let them get on with it and play the long game and focus on the main prize. Just file them away with the other mess. It's all going to be dumped in the proverbial shredder soon anyway.

      I mean that usually how it is with family to be honest! You don't actually bear any "hatred" but at the same time it just IRKS the shit outta you and at that very moment you need to go take a smoke break! (even if you never smoked and never ever will smoke!) Yes indeed, I know how it goes very well hun!
