Can understand that. If it feels wrong you don't need it.
Seems the game is on about whiskey. I had to step away a bit, reload a different flavor of
Linux onto the computer. Seems I have adoring fans what trick my computer into becoming
a white room box, no matter if I desire it being so or not. My repository listing gets reset to
being experimental. *chuckles* The idea being, "hey that B___ guy, he hacks Lisp and other
stuff, he'll break the experimental stuff, we'll get his logs and see how to strip cruft, fix it."
They do this same routine with other various users. The they being the developers and
maintainers of the software. Ethically, morally it is not technically wrong or bad. And,
no they are not 'cracking' or breaking into people's computers. They're running lab tests
on software to make it better.
This in some ways akin to SETI at home's folding method. The developers have access to
a big pool of users, all doing different things with the software. The developers look at
log files and further develop the software to help users. Gee, sounds like something Microsoft
ought to do, but they don't.
On to whiskey though ...

Actually, I just made a simple mental connection with the word " dry " which quickly morphed into a pissing contest about preferences. Nevertheless, I like the " wild west " environment here ! Appeals to my maverick nature. Yep. " Come hell & high water ! " :smilies15

NB: Been ages since I've played a good round of
rummy in good company. A small group of us did
play at a time, recall everyone getting hilariously
drunk and enjoying the game for simply being a
game. We did rounds of 500, whoever won got
to call the round/s drunk by the losers/s.

Re: New Game, Label Recognition.
O dear, Pep... hardly a pissing contest... a wee scour of some past threads shows us what pissing contests r like...
...and Annika, ur right of course...there are relatively few ghastly Scotch whiskies compared to the overall number produced. Me dad was the expert, but I do drink the more mellow kind... Tobermory is very nice but difficult to get even here. Even many blends r drinkable... howeva.. none whiskies of ne kind is more drinkable than me Courvoisier or Remy Martin.. simply a matter of taste...:impleased
Btw there are now several English whiskies being made these days.. serpently the stuff produced in Lake District is very nice... me friend took me on a tour of the distillery not long ago. Beautiful setting and food wasnt bad either... rain was hell tho... o well... need water 2 make the stuff do we not so shouldn't complain!:)

Re: New Game, Label Recognition.
Actually, I love the Irish. They're boisterous, lusty, gregarious, much like the Germans. Laid my tired , old mother to rest on St. Patrick's Day 5 years ago. Seemed somehow appropriate.

Re: New Game, Label Recognition.
Me too! I was introduced to the whole world of Irish by meeting my wife. All 4 grandparents came from county Cork. Except for the religious moments, it's all wonderful!
R.I.P. Mom, hope it was a good wake!

Viewed this movie in 3D at the local mall cinema years ago when it came out. Some scenes really dazzled, overwhelmed me. The ending seemed anticlimactic. Didn't realize at the time it was a prequel to the ' Aliens ' franchise. Appears to have been inspired by the History Channel's Ancient Aliens series. Now, Pandorum is a real thrill ride ! :2cents:

What little of the movie I saw, did not have enough interest in it to have an opinion. I was speaking of another ...Prometheus .
