DaRealAce posted:Can you queue them up? Besides the cool robot duplicators down there, not at the ripping level. I obviously have to switch them out, but it alerts me when it's done. The second software I use is called Handbrake which takes the large rear end MKV file and compresses it down to around 6-10GB depending on the settings I choose for each movie. That you can obviously queue a bunch of files in a row, yes. I actually did this when ripping a few seasons of TV shows.

Ruzihm posted:cool BapnaHT It is! Russia has like 6 different variants of 24-hour ration for all the different branches and organizations, but they all pull from the same store of contents and just have different packaging. That one is the standard army ration. I've eaten the one given to the FSB and officers, which has the same contents but is packed into a green cardboard box with a built-in carrying handle.

I look into those every once in awhile. I have a fast metabolism and sometimes I'd rather eat easy than tasty if I'm already doing it 4-5 times a day. I always just end up with more peanut butter and milk. I'd love a trip report.

When I was in high school we had a fun week long trip to a military base. We got to do some fun stuff like sleep in the real bunkers and do the real obstacle courses and see what army life was like. I also ate like 4 MREs and I'm convinced they made me constipated. I coudln't poo poo until I got back home.

They opened up a military depot near our school when I was in high school, and we would go buy them and fight over the peanut butter and crackers, and dare each other to eat the cheeses and 'corned beef hash'

They're great for natural disasters because the entrees taste like regular canned food, but you just put them in the Flameless Ration Heater and pour in a little water to get yourself a hot meal with no effort.

If you're camping and are trying to pack light / are a lazy gently caress / tend to get too drunk to cook while in the woods, they're pretty handy. Keeps you from having to poop out there, too.

Just keep in mind that you need to eat everything in the MRE to stay balanced. They're designed so the soldier eats all the components without trading or throwing out stuff he doesn't like to ensure that he gets all the calories and a balanced diet. A lot of the digestive problems attributed to MREs often have to do with soldiers throwing out or trading away items they don't like, as well as behavioral things like chugging a billion protein shakes and working out most of the day to try and get swole. Also people get poop shyness in combat zones.

Google Fi is rad. Coming from Verizon, the reception is better and the billing system is easy to follow and takes care of itself for the most part. The Pixel looks so cool, but I've only had my 5X for 9 months, so I've gotta hold out for a while. I don't need it. I don't need it.

App13 posted:Are there separate MRE's for those who keep kosher or vegetarian for religious reasons, or just a more limited selection? There are a few vegetarian MREs (though I think only one menu so far is totally vegan) and there are separate kosher and halal meals. But you get a more limited diet if you have special restrictions.

I'm interested to see how they handle the bigger books because these two are pretty hefty as is and Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets were tiny compared to the later books in the series. Wouldn't be surprised to see them split them into two parts.

Lord have mercy on my wallet. I'm writing an RPG book and will probably do my own preliminary illustrations so it's a very reasonable purchase. However, I am going to puke until I die because anything over $200 is ridiculous to me; a poor person.

I keep almost buying a surface pro four, but then I remember the irritation and annoyance when I tried to use an iPad as a laptop replacement three or four years ago. I know the surface Pro is far better but I still have nightmares about the half a dozen lovely keyboards I suffered through before I gave up.

The iPad Pros are not. They keyboards for the Surface Pros (the one with the backlighting, glass trackpad and space between the keys) are very good. Play with one in a Microsoft Store or a Best Buy.
