Fun fact: Last time someone won by four goals in a Champions League semifinal it was still called European Cup, the guys fighting in Afghanistan were speaking Russian and Mir just got its second module.

For everyone not remembering these football times (so everyone except Urwumpe:shifty:
April 5th 1989: Steaua vs. Galatasaray 4-0
April 19th 1989: Milan vs. Real 5-0 (although everyone should remember the goal scorers: Ancelotti, Rijkaard, Gullit, van Basten, Donadoni)

 

[Urwumpe]

Yeah... when our worst nightmare in international football was orange and not red&yellow...

And I can still remember, when Germany won their last World Cup. Many Germans in this forum are likely the direct result of this event. Just check if your birthday is in or around April 1991.

My Son has quite a nice rendom syllable generator going. The Markov chain still needs some work before he starts making sense, though...

And the number of times I'm killing Neil Armstrong in RiS.

An Apollo-9 like mission: CM+LM in an Earth orbit. One astronaut boards the LM and should test the engine, which has a critical failure and probably explodes. Now how the hell can the other astronaut survive that? "Oh, the hatch is opened and we just had a major explosion, probably many debris flying around! But I'm fine!"
Probably Apollo-era-astronauts were created in a post-WW1 project which gave them super-human capabilities.

Numbers don't lie, do they?

I always trusted them so far. In every project I considered, they were the harsh reality that dispelled any illusions, either telling me outright that this thing wouldn't work, or that it'll get tough and be risky. Sometimes I risked, and won. Sometimes I risked, and lost. It's the way things are, I thought.

But now it's Goats I'm dealing with. Goats, those unremarkable critters on four legs, with the cool beard and the annoying staccato. It started out innocently enough, with their seemingly meager milk production. Then I looked at the producer prices for goat cheese. Then I picked better Goats. Then I confirmed their ridiculously low upkeep. Then I considered the breeding rate of the buggers.

And suddenly, for the first time in my Job, I'm not sure if numbers really don't lie. Because for once, they are not the mercyless voice destroying the hopes of a better life for someone, but instead luring me with the promise of financial heaven on earth for an impoverished family. It makes me really uneasy. But right now, I feel pretty inclined to put down 5000 Bucks to see if they're telling the truth after all.

 

[Urwumpe]

You are talking about Goats. I would rather open a suicide bomber kindergarten, than handle a single goat...

 

[jedidia]

Oh, I wouldn't have to handle them.

Have you taken the taxes, the bonds, and The Mob into account?

 

[jedidia]

taxes

This is very low profile agricultural production, which flies in a gray area between homesteading and self-employment. Basically, the tax system in Bosnia is not cut out to handle such things (thanks God, because running a small business while paying all your taxes is, quite literally, impossible. Everyone has to cheat somewhere). As long as you have no proliferation contracts and selling your cheese to private persons, you don't count as business and therefore don't pay taxes.

Besides that, if they come for taxes, they'd have to repay the last 15 years of pension they'd owe the family father for being a war veteran with permanent injuries. But they never showed up with that, either, so...

the bonds

I'm the one issuing the bond, so no trouble there. I'm a humanitairian worker, maybe I should've mentioned that

The Mob

As much as they have their fingers in every higher-level function and business in Bosnia, they do have the decency to leave the common folk alone. Especially if they live in a small hamlet that isn't even connected by an asphalt road and isn't even plugged into the water system and canalisation. Wait... scratch that last one, there isn't any canalisation worth the name anywhere in Bosnia.

I'd rather leave my kids at the Jonestown daycare.

Some reason, when i get a explosion during launch, it says "Escape module successfully saves crew" or something, but they return dead. :blink:

And i just realized RiS is open source...

4:1 ... something bad will happen, i know it... this is just a leap weak, and next week all will be different...

Last time Bayern played Barca in the Camp Nou they had a brilliant performance - 4:0 after 45 minutes.
Although I doubt Christian Lell plays against Lionel Messi again, worst. defender. ever.

What if Korea (either South Korea or a Korea unified by the south) had more advanced rockets and a launch service provider called Arirangspace?

What if that went so far over my head, it went into orbit. Care to explain?

Arianespace will sue them for brand similarity till they turn blue. And they would likely win.

Also, it would rather be Samsung Space Services or Hyundai Space.

They should be careful what shade of blue they turn.

By "canalization" I assume you mean "sewers" (= Kanalisation)?

 

[jedidia]

Yes. I wasn't quite sure if sewers refered to ordinary plumbing underground or implicates the existance of a sewage reclamation plant.
