        I mean “EU” is spanish for “USA” (Estados Unidos) and it’s a bit disorienting to me when I read the news in my native language as I always read it as “European Union”

        OC spray, aka ‘oleoresin capsicum spray’, aka pepper spray. People often get it for self defense against humans or bears. The bear version tends to be a much larger and stronger bottle.

    Actually yes, my wife bought 6 outdoor chairs this summer (and a matching table) but we didn’t really get the weather to use them.

      At least you’ll have more time to work on original characters then. Which you do have, right?

      I don’t normally open carry, though to do regularly concealed carry. Have been told by others a few times they were happy I was carrying, made them feel better when we happened to get into a seedy area. Luckily nothing came of it, and hopefully it stays that way forever.

    I haven’t done that in a long time.

    Most recently I probably overclocked my original playstation portable.

          It’s a term in the artist community to refer to characters that are standalone, as in they aren’t from a particular work of fiction, which are in turn stereotypically (but not always) used for purposes of roleplaying.

    I think my favorite overclock was back in the early Conroe days when Intel first released the core m processor. I bought an Asus white book and after assembling everything and doing on a power-on test I immediately powered it off and did a pin modification to force the socket from 100 megahertz front side bus to 133 megahertz front side bus.

    It was such a simple modification that netted me significant performance improvements and voided my warranty in the first 5 minutes.
