I agree that the size of Barrens meant that the chat was something else. I meant that while Alliance got three zones that felt unique and populated, horde had one giant open plain.
Might be because I started as Alliance and switched to Horde quite early

Worst quest for me was rescuing Marshall Winsor from Blacrock Depths. First he is walking agroing all kinds of mobs, then when he sees the entrance he starts running and if you don’t keep up, (let’s say you are fighting some mobs he agroed) you fail the mission even if you can see him standing by the entrance.
First you need to find BRD group, then a group willing to do the quest. And then do the quest. Tried so many times… Still hurts talking about it.

Barrens compared to Goldshire was so garbage in vanilla at launch. Alliance aesthetics was so much more developed and implemented

Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT
- Comment on Anon is standmaxxing 23 hours ago:
According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self

I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.
The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.
And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial

- Comment on what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment? 2 weeks ago:
Not me but years ago the inorganic lab at my uni was tasked with measuring heavy metals in whale fat and did what they normally did back then to dislove test materials. Mix nitric acid and hydrocloric acid in some heavy duty pure quartz reagent tubes, put in sample and microwave. Well. Turns out mixing triclyride (fat) with nitric acid and HCl as a catalyst makes nitroclyserine. And what does that do in a confinde space and microwaves.
It turns expensive heavy duty quartz tubes into expensive quartz dust and a fucked microwave.

HF is a weak acid but extremely complex binding. If you spill it on skin, it will react with any Ca in your body and FUCK.YOU.UP! Always have plenty of water with Ca to rinse with and Ca containing “lotion” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid_burn?wpro…
It is also fun as you can get really interesting results. I wanted to make a coffee cup with no bottom and put some in a cup and placed the cup in Ca-water. What happened was it removed the glazing and made a cup with slight leak as liquid permiates the clay.

Guessing this is a Belgium (Flemish) vs. Netherland joke.

- Comment on oh no guys theyre gonna report us to the FBI 2 weeks ago:
Remeber the head if the network at my university told me that he once was contacted by someone from a US LEA about how someone with an IP from the student housing had said something threatening about then US president George Bush Jr. and wanted information.
He told them that US law doesn’t apply in Norway, and that they had to go through proper channels by the Norwegian police and court system to get that information.
- Comment on amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity 3 weeks ago:
Living in rural Norway this was never an option. Normal stuff was accessible (and in shops with qualified staff) but anything special was only available if a distributor had it.
EBay, Etsy, Ali Express and amazon (however much I despise their business practice) makes stuff available. A few examples.
- Pluck foam is impossible to find outside specialized commercial vendors that want to sell it by the ton or something
- Small vortex mixer that is not sold by ThermoFischer for an insany jacked up prize. 3mm rubber mat that apparently you get cut to measure in Home Depot according to the craft YT channel cannot be found outside companies selling them as health and safety mats to cushion walking surface… Guess if they are cheap.

Power metall like Sabaton for you perhaps.
I was a hip hoper (Mainly european stuff like Gunshot) and stumbles into Stratovarius in Roskilde 2001. Felt I was the only one with short hair and a hoodie. Listened to power metal ever since.
Heard Sabaton live in Oslo this December. Great live show.

I spent a season in Whistler 20 years ago, and even though Whistler is “Disney Mountain” I managed to get to know some local residents through Japanese home stay students. Weed was everywhere, granted season skiers and and snowboarders are perhaps not a random selection of the population in that regard.

I had this question in a mid-term in physical chemistry 20 years ago. I can’t remember the details but it is driven by the entropy in the system. Along with the things other have said about changes tight above the surface of the puffle.

That is afaik typical.

Thats a turbo right? Tbf I didn’t know Honda had turbo engines on their civics.
I had a 2008 (Hatchback) 1.8L VTEC and loved it. (2.2L was never imported to Norway by the importer because of high pollution tax) Stiff suspension, sort of bucket seats and low profile tires.
You in the US? Is the 1.5L turbo the same as in EU?

A civic after the 2011 redesign is a decent car. At least with the 2.2L engine
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 4 months ago:
Had five pairs of HOKA Clifton or Bondi (one of the few brands that have wide and quarter sizes) that usually lasts a year. My HOKA Kaha lasted two hand a half which is to short for that kind of shoe. Last pair of Clifton bought this summer lasted two months.
I suggest you look at Altra if you need wide toe box.

I had a Turkish exchange student at my uni in Norway, and when he saw a bag in of “Turkish Pepper” he was like WTF is this?
End of story he did not appreciate the delicious treats named for his people.
We talk about the vodka belt and potato Europe, but what should we name Nordic/north German and Dutch areas that like salty licorice?
