Curling

Curling is a sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area that is segmented into four concentric circles. It is related to bowls, boules, and shuffleboard. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called rocks, across the ice curling sheet towards the house, a circular target marked on the ice. Each team has eight stones, with each player throwing two. The goal is to accumulate the highest score for a game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones once. A game usually consists of eight or ten ends.

:blob_raccoon_peek: I keep seeing the computer-boopers among you mentioning curl.

And you must understand that I will *always* picture your avatar shoving a chunk of smooth granite across a sheet of ice while another one of you frantically scrambles ahead of it with a broom while you shout directions at each other.

And those of you computer boopers talking about rust things? You’re all working in a scrapyard with diesel and grease stained coveralls, perhaps with the arms roguishly tied around your waist.

My Kopfkino is so grateful to have no idea what you actually mean because this is FAR more entertaining :blob_raccoon_coffee: :blobshi5:

How to cultivate attention to detail in kids? What kind of activities promote that skill?

Please don’t be a Gate keeper in your hobby. For example: my sons started playing #warhammer. But warhammer age of Sigmar. They went to a comicstore where you can come together and paint your figures. But older WH players made joke about that „stupid new wh world“ in front of them for weeks. and now my sons stopped going there and lost some of the joy to play it.

For what, I ask? Why? You don’t like something? Okay. But other people like other stuff. Damn.

long shot but looking for someone who can do a passable Earth Wind and Fire karaoke (really, anyone with a nice falsetto)? I have an idea for a little project for a good cause…

Is "back-bitching" an Indian-ism? It's like bitching and back-biting rolled together, with a shade of "behind one's back" added in.

"pride goeth before the fall" yes it's traditionally celebrated in summer

listen i think fedi is the place to ask-
where could i find a public domain/cc0 penis 3d model

you know what sometimes i have a jolly time traipsing though the internet of peoples cute little websites and then sometimes i find a terrifying nest of 3d artists with skills i could only dream of dedicated to sharing moveable models of video game and cartoon charaters exclusively for dirty dirty purposes and i have to wonder what the fuck am i doing with my life both in a 'why am i here' way and in a 'why dont i have these skills' way.

@swelljoe @ajroach42 this right here is why I love Fedi. There’s always someone for whom “this is MY thing” who is willing to share. Thanks!

Enjoy the sounds of a thunderstorm :3

if you've been experiencing a higher than normal call volume for more than a couple months it's actually a normal call volume now & you're just understaffed

I found myself
Alone with
The Pleiades,
The eight of us
On fire.

Love earth back, cloud edition

It's Bandcamp Friday today. All my music is free, because my disability insurance company claims any money I earn.

But it's folk music, and the more accessible it is, the more folk make music.
