Ironbound

I am going to include seats, benches, ottomans, swings/bowers, pedestals and stools or other furniture that is analogous to a chair in this count. The house has 39 total seats in various places; the grounds and appurtenant places have 14 more. I actually had to ask someone at home to count them all, since I'm in a different city at the moment. GDI, ICSW, why do you have this knack of asking strange, wonderfully engaging questions!

4 and its multiples. Specifically 16 and its multiples. I like symmetry and order. I believe the number 4 conforms to those characteristics: it is the first composite number, and the first perfect square (not counting 1). It is square, solid, even and geometrically and symmetrically wholesome, a composite 'building block'. 16 is a even better, the first perfect square of a perfect square.

6/10 amusing

Don't lose more.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurypterid?wprov=sfla1 Considering that these creatures existed at some point, it is not infeasible to suggest that scorpions and crustaceans such as lobsters did not share a not-too-distant link in the past. However, a lobster is fundamentally very different to a scorpion, and have little in common with them besides being arthropods. Though they may superficially appear similar, even their supposedly similar-looking anatomy is in fact different both in design and purpose. A lobster's pincers, legs, eyes, and sensory organs are all different from a scorpion's; they don't even eat, breathe or attack similarly. That said, a lobster is less of a mermaid to a scorpion than a Manatee is to a human, since they are not even members of the same class, if we assume that in your context a mermaid is defined as an aquatic or piscine hybrid of otherwise similar anatomical class as that of the subject. As an added note, it might also be argued that scorpions lack the cerebral functions necessary to have a theory of mind, and as such cannot think to attribute personality in another life form, much less ponder on what would be a mermaid to them, or indeed figure out any association another might have to itself in any non-linear manner, outside the associations of food, mates and danger. Indeed, it is debated that even most higher forms of life lack the ability to possess a theory of mind; that being the sole demesne of higher primates, elephants and possibly cetaceans. Also, while this is a scientific discussion, and it certainly has led to questions about the theory of mind (which I am open to discuss, by the way, if anyone would like to pick up on that tangent), I would request contributors to present more specific information to substantiate their hypothesis in general, and to abide by the guidelines of general logic in framing their suppositions.

Happy birthday, Ark. Wishing you a great year ahead.

I know nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh. Tell me what you will.

It seems you have not watched/read 2001: A Space Odyssey, or you'd know HAL 9000. Anyway, 5/10. I see an elf. That's about it.

I had expressed my views on that one earlier when I had seen the full picture; while I can't approve of that, this crop of just the face is fairly all right. Anime styles are not my cup of tea, but I could reasonably say this to be a 5.5/10.

Wishing all of you a great year ahead. Happy birthday.

Congratulations, ICSW! I'm sure you'd be a very punctilious mod :]

According to the schedule, this starts at the equivalent of 9:30 PM on Saturday in my timezone and carries on through the night, ending before 9:30 AM on Sunday. I seem to have a cast-iron excuse to give the King's and Queen's games a miss. Joking aside, is unfortunate that the time is somewhat awkward for me, especially given the inflexibility my weekend schedule. I'm hoping I might make better time at the Winter Party.

Spade Why am I surprised yoou don't know who Cobra Commander is smh I'll give yours a 6/10. Too tired to explain why, but anime.png ought to cover most of the reasoning.

Gen4 or bust. I'm in.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to recognise the theme, but insofar as I see it, the Hoenn protagonists are portrayed as chibis. I'm not a fan of the style, nor can I understand the thing's context as I do not know in what it is meant to represent. Therefore the only depth or reasoning I can see is merely something that you like and so put as your avatar. Which is fine, but I can at best give it a subjective 4/10.

Happy birthday, Hycrox. Wishing you a great year ahead.

Happy Birthday, Alex. Wishing you a great year ahead.

Yeah, many of Sinnoh's evolutions to earlier pokemon hit it off so naturally that they hardly seem like they were not created at the same time as the originals. The list includes Yanmega, Tangrowth, Electivire, Mamoswine, Togekiss, Gliscor, and (cough) Magnezone. nobody mention magmortar or rhyperior or lickilicky Anyway, I keep forgetting the timelines of many of the more insignificant/gimmick mons, like Corsola, Luvdisc or Delibird. And I quite forgot that Jirachi was Gen III, so used was I to associating it with its notoreity in Gen IV.

Happy birthday, Inuki. Wishing you a great year ahead.

Well, would you look at that, I actually found the time to finish this thing:

Happy birthday, Amine. Wishing you a great year ahead.

I usually take 75-85%, the new custom ones that have become popular over here in southern plantations, as I had said. if you take it closer to 90% and above, it does get very bitter, naturally. I don't quite think that above 90% is good. It becomes a pure slab of cocoa, then, suitable for use as an ingredient in cooking or dishes, but not really chocolate for direct consumption. Chocolate does involve other ingredients, after all.

I don't eat or enjoy chocolate unless it's at least 70% cocoa. The darker and bitterer, the better. In fact, South Indian chocolatiers has recently started experimenting in locally produced fine chocolates on coffee plantations, and I've already become an inveterate snob. Fine dark chocolates, with hints of spices, coffee, or even sea salt. We understand each other.

Happy birthday, Lost. Wishing you a great year ahead.

I do not drink tea. It is inferior. Cakes, and in fact any sweet food, does not appeal to me. I have a low tolerance for sweets; they get cloying too quickly. So you'd never find me imbibing/ingesting the above in any combination. As for Coffee, I treat its enjoyment as an art. I believe that one does not merely drink it, like any mundane fluid. One experiences it. To consume something else at the same time is to me, nothing short of an insult. It's independent of any meal or snack.
