Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

1422x800 doesn't seem like a bad resolution for gaming.. It preserves aspect ratio same as 16x9 but it isn't really supported by software
 
Started watching the new sitcom Not Dead Yet about an obituary writer at a newspaper, and I don't think they have any idea what an obituary writer does or what a newspaper is like. Latest episode involves writing about someone "social media" famous who died that the paper wants to put it on the front page... and for whatever reason she has a few days to do it? She would have that day to do it so it gets in the paper the very next day when it's still news.
 
I'm starting to get a little concerned about one of the people I follow on IG. She's a horseback rider in New Zealand and her and a friend are on a horseback riding trip through the south part of the country, and she said she was going to be posting all about on new page for the trip on IG and other social media pages. She did post a punch of stuff on the first, and the last thing was them walking the horses along a busy highway in the pitch black, heading to the home of a woman who they just spoke to earlier that day who agreed to let them keep the horses in her paddock, and to let them sleep on her property in their tents. That was several days ago, and she hasn't posted anything else on her regular IG, and she doesn't appear to have set up a separate page for the trip. I did find a page for the trip on Facebook, but the last activity on there was she uploaded a profile picture on the 9th. When she announced the trip, she made it sound like she was going to be posting tons of stuff all day every day, and she did that first day, and then after that night she just stopped.
 
Random thing for my birthday i got a pair of goatguns. They are model kits of guns in 1/3 scale maybe slightly smaller but that's what the box says. Not sure how to feel about these. The models are cool and mostly diecast, they are made to be fidget toys or something, but you can put them together take them apart, and do it over and over. I shall keep the boxes because they have cutouts for all the parts in the box.
 
I've never owned, fired, or even touched a gun in my life (and I hope to God I never do).

I did have this weird thing I got at the circus when I was five, though. It didn't actually shoot anything, just made a whining noise and sparks shot around inside it. Not entirely sure what it was supposed to accomplish. :lol:

Toy ray gun I think we all have seen those as a kid you squeeze the trigger and it made sparks
 
Yeah I'm not sure how to feel about these they are nice models and you do end up fidgeting with them because moving parts and all. I like that you have to assemble them yourself.

More than likely either poor/no cell service or the phone/charger broke (or no place to plug-in).
 
This is one of the things I got for my birthday quite random because it's not the kind of thing I'd ask for, but I did mention I wanted a model that was different to build.

I've shot many a weapon in my day(s), from bow and arrow, shotguns, handguns and rifles. I also keep a Louisville slugger behind the door. They are nothing to be afraid of if used properly and responsibly. I always hope that I never am forced to shoot a person.

Was out driving a moment ago. Watched two vehicles both leaving a store parking lot and the second car suddenly guns it to whip ahead of the first car. They were only like 15 feet away from reaching the street when this happened. That car doesn't even come to a full stop at the street, instead flooring it to turn onto the street right as oncoming traffic reaches that area.
 
I love regular Peeps, but just sounds gross.
I always hear stories about people getting pets off of Craig's list, so just out of curiosity I looked to see what kind of horses are on there for my area, just curious if there were any that were obviously in bad shape, and one that's gotta be a con. It was a gorgeous black or dark brown horse and the people are giving him away for free. They say they want to check your place out and able to visit him, but I'm thinking this has got to be some kind of con. There's got to be some reason that they'd be so desperate to get rid of that they're giving him away for free, and it seems me that there's a pretty good chance it's not a good one.
Always look a gift horse in the mouth. And everywhere else.

As for Peeps: Condition Yuck-O-Rama. :barf: I get queasy just THINKING about them. They're cute to look at, but not to eat...
Ditto. Although I've always wanted to try Peep Jousting.

Sadly, Mrs. Silvercrest does not want that going on in her microwave.
