386

My sister (who lives several continents away) sent me a huge LEGO pirate ship . The set number ~~31367~~ 31387 for those interested. I spent the evening building with the help of my 13 year old. I also took two or three drams.

I have no regrets.

Edit2: thanks for the birthday wishes. :-)

This is the only way I can understand this clause

OP throwing shade on us all that his sister is a research scientist partying with the Penguins down under.

Obviously, this is his summer cabin.

Dram makes me think someone is in the UK and someone is Down Under.

Yeah but if you go this way you go through multiple continents

Hm. I was thinking Australia but isn't that at most just one continent away, like Antarctica? Not sure how English language works in that respect.

Anyhow, happy 50th to OP!

The huge pirate ship sailed itself to OP. It even had to fight off some penguins.

You assume they drew their line straight.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
