Yesterday, I decided on a whim to enter the pan-hellenic bakery I walk past every day. There were a lot of unfamiliar things. I got some kind of lemon custard and honey and cinnamon thing wrapped in some kind of unnameable crust. It was good.
I looked it up and apparently it's called Galaktoboureko.

Very likely. A lot of the stuff there looked like it was savory or contained some kind of meat, but I had no idea what any of it was. Even for the galaktoboureko, I had to ask, and didn't retain any of the description...

Anyone know any good sites for purchasing / using lockpicks?
808 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-05 22:09

>>792 here! Trust my beginner advice at your own peril!

Picks:
No cost: Make your own out of spring steel (streetsweeper bristles, windshield wiper/bra inserts, hacksaw blades), see in the references below for templates.
For really budget options: KLOM picks, get them wherever (FastTech, DX, Aliexpress) (what I use!).
A better option: Southord, but you'll have to assemble your own kit.

Resources:
The classic, is, of course, The MIT Guide To Lockpicking ( http://www.capricorn.org/~akira/home/lockpick/ ).
Another option would be "Lockpicking: Detail Overkill".
bosnianbill on youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2r07NN21vM&index=3&list=PLTSWkYxuSlkXiSBwk3Hvbvx71sg-MH61s ) is an brilliant resource, though doesn't do a huge amount of beginner stuff (though if you prefer video that's a link to the beginner playlist).

The big "organisation" for it is TOOOL ( http://toool.us/ ) though they don't really do much online. The largest community is Lock Picking 101 ( http://www.lockpicking101.com/ ) although I can't speak for how useful it is (very if you're looking to bypass a specific type of lock though) as I've only ever regularly read /r/lockpicking.

You will struggle with tension when you first start, but keep trying and you'll eventually get the hang of it.

I'm alright at raking, but my SPP technique is abysmal. Need to get some slimline picks for the locks here in Europe...

It's a surprisingly useful skill, and picking a challenging lock is very satisfying. You'll never be able to trust your bicycle/motorbike/gate etc to a cheap padlock again, too, so budget for that...

I hope this post is of some help!

I live in the mountains for college, but I usually live near the city. I always sleep with the window open, but when I wake up, it's not very cold in my room. So I'll decide to wear a thinner sweater for the day, but I always regret it when I step outside.

It really is getting colder, and the mornings can be around -2 C, but it hasn't been snowing.

A Panasonic GX1 with the kit lens. Just sold my NEX to buy it actually, it's a wee bit more portable than the NEX and smaller sensor doesn't seem to be a limitation. Still getting used to it!

There's some fairly heavy post going on in those pictures though (e.g. pics #1 and #2 were shot seconds apart on the same tree - it's just the blues were heavily desaturated and midtone contrast increased in #1) so I don't know how representative they are of the camera haha!

Ah, Br.E/Am.E confusion. In the UK apple juice refers to the juice pressed from apples, and cider refers to only alcoholic drinks produced from apples.

e.g. Mulled cider is a occasional alternative to mulled wine http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mulledcider_8851

I'll have to give that suggestion a go though! I've had apple tea before, I guess it's like a sweeter version of that?

I didn't do anything for Halloween. Partly because my car broke down but mostly because I wasn't invited to a single party.

I once last year when through and re-did all the markers. There were red circles painted on trees to mark the official path. But they were really old and faded. I bought some bright orange spray paint and went through the path one day re-painting all the old markers. It was fun and I helped out a bit.

A request from a fellow anon: I know we're on an anonymous board and all, but it would nice if we could keep it relatively SFW - images like →/339/1446760904457.jpg make it bit of a risk opening it in public, and with no spoiler function there isn't really any other option to just not browsing it.

But, that's just a request of course - I can't force you to do anything! I just always figured the Post Office was SFW until now anyway.

I finally got a desktop, it's a little dusty and it's 4 or so years old, but it does the job better than my laptop. I'm starting to love tinkering with it, especially cleaning! The brush head of my dyson vacuum broke because one of the half inch wide rings holding the plastic sprocket in place went into contact with the bearing, melting itself off. The sprocket no longer engages the axle and either sounds like a jet engine or is stuck. I broke the mirror for my figs and I need to get another set. I still need to redo the hair on one of my garage kits and build a scale Tachikoma!

On top of that, I cleaned up my closet but my room is a bit messy!

Weirdly it was my first time shooting a Mosin today! Recoil in prone was painful (though that seems to be the same with all WW2 rifles), but fun to shoot. Shot a bunch of other strange stuff as well, it was a big organised shoot at the range so the members bought some seriously esoteric rifles along (including a shotgun conversion of a Martini Henry and a load of black powder pistols).

In the UK though, Mosins are pretty much the same cost as any other early-20th rifle - so everyone just buys Enfields or K31s instead unless they have a particular interest in early Russian rifles. Don't often see them around.
880 Name: Anonymous : 2015-12-07 05:12
>>879

Yeah, her Mosin left a bruise on my arm that still hurts.

I'd rather a Mosin than either of those rifles though, from what I read about them. Mosins just pack a bigger punch and put fist sized holes in things.
881 Name: Anonymous : 2015-12-07 13:48
>>880
The Mosin won't really pack a larger punch - the cartridges are around the same muzzle energy, so you won't observe any difference in effects. 3600J-ish for 7.62x54R and 7.5 Swiss, .303 Brit slightly lower at around 3400J. K31s and Enfields just have nicer actions - can't pull off a proper mad minute with a Mosin!

.303 and 7.5 Swiss are expensive though, I'm pretty jelly of the cheap tins of surplus Mosin shooters can get. You could get a lot more practice in for the same cost with a Mosin...
