now, what if there were a series of 15 foot tall, 10 foot wide, 1 foot thick panels composed only of the red material in a watermelon, and they were spaced 10 feet apart. with a running head start, how many panels do you think you could run through before coming to a stop?

Maybe like 4 or 5, I'm pretty out of shape.

not sure what "better" means but it makes you more responsible by default, and more sympathetic to parents

I enjoyed going as a kid but haven't been in years. One time I hit a nest and caught lke 50 fish.

I look forward to taking my kid. I don't ever see my self as any kind of series fisher who goes out on a boat though.

Casting always makes me a little nervous, with the hook flying around.

I think I had some deer jerky. It was fine. I'm not a big jerky fan. I like slim jims a lot tho

ugh. that's a tough one. you can only really learn by experience.

I guess I'd tell myself don't settle for a situation you're not happy with. Act sooner.

Also, stay in better shape because your metabolism sucks more the older you get.

Would you rather go on a one way trip 100 years to the future or 100 years to the past?

1918, end of WWI and reshaping of world borders, pretty fascinating

How do you don’t get your ass kicked constantly at skyrim

I tried as a dark elf doing two handed magic: ass handed to me CONSTANTLY

Now I’m an orc trying the melee combat approach: ass still HANDED to me EVERY DAY OR NITE

Gosh do i just suck fux? Have to roll the difficulty down and play it as a little timid mouse?

Get your smithing and enchanting up quickly (lots of ways to grind these online) so you can get proper weapons and armor

Concentrate on a defined set of skills (heavy armor, archery, one handed, destruction, etc)

Quicksave frequently and choose your battles. Stealth and sneaking are your friends. Giants and mammoths are good gauges of how powerful you are
