Every story has two sides. Here's an article which gives Russia's take on the Crimean referendum. It's certainly illuminating.

Never bring large sums of money in your wallet,
Get a card (credit, atm, etc...)

And, call someone (for me, it's my auntie cause she's a manager in different branches of the same bank, heh, very nice job btw) if you lost your cards, to get it cancelled immediately...
Only do this if you're a 100% sure that you lost them...

I learned a trick from my mother on how to unroot the nastiest weeds. I pulled this weed out that had a 1ft root! She dug a moat around the weed, then poured warm water. Then she twisted the entire weed until it just came out in a cool twisty bunch.

The game in my Sig have a forum..
Just registered there...

Haha,
And I'm looking for Guilds there (picking the best guild), being a lone wolf is not that easy,
I mean, chances that you'll be paired up with some newbie (or something) are pretty high in 3v3..
And is almost 99.99% in 5v5 (at least 1 or 2 of them) if you just randomly get paired up with players...

Reached highest level in 4 months, lvl 40...
Time to take it up a notch and do guild wars...
Lol...

Well, they'll do some test first though...
I just created a thread there stating that I'm looking for a guild, let them come to you, haha, and pick the best one mad

There is a survival rate of 24% for stowaways in airplane landing gear. I can't believe multiple people are crazy enough to attempt this.

That roasting coffee bean at 235C for around 20 minutes produces the best aroma and flavor of coffee. eyes

You can actually survive that?

I gotta try it out.

Your body shuts down into hibernation, or something like that to survive the extreme temperature and lack of oxygen.
You can try but you gotta make it past airport security first. laugh

If you want to encourage your hens to lay their eggs in a particular place (rather than, oh, under a random bush or something), putting a decoy (golf ball, plastic easter egg, pretty much anything reasonably egg sized/shaped) in the nest is supposed to help them know "hey, this is a good place to lay eggs!" This I already knew before today.

However.

Today I learned that if one hen lays an egg with a really fragile shell, such that it breaks when another hen hops in to lay her egg, and that broken egg also gets on the "decoy" egg...that decoy egg will glue itself to the feathers of that poor second hen. So today one of my chickens spent most of the afternoon clucking around the yard with a plastic easter egg stuck to her chest. laugh no

I tried to help her, but she's skittish & there was no way I could catch her. no After a few hours the plastic egg did come unstuck, but she sure looked funny for a while! eyes

@TofuQueen: Poor hen. no I'd splash her with hosepipe. Although.. I guess, she wouldn't really appreciate my help. biggrin

As for me, today I learned what a sapiosexual is. (And that it's the only definition that Misha Collins has written on UrbanDictionary.. MISHA COLLINS! Hurray~!!! biggrin)
Not quite sure what is my perspective on this topic yet, but I'd like to meet one and discuss it with.. him/her/it/whatever-they-call-themselves.

I learned that the Rashomon effect is what happens when many witnesses try to tell their version of events. All their accounts may seem plausible, but they may be affected by their biases, even if they don't realize it.
