Nothing special but my grandmother taught me a lot about cooking. Apparently family and friends really like my food. I have a knack for tasting ingredients.

That and I'm stupidly strong for being smol. Sometimes I have to hold back on closing doors or helping someone lift/move things.

Cooking is always fun, mostly when you have great people to do it around -- not really my family, but mostly friends!
Also, im a trans man, im only 5'5, so considering my strength and stuff...I think no matter how smol you are, you'd be stronger than me, haha ^^'

Dude, that is a awesome career to have, I wonder how many years of schooling it took to get where you are now

Actually, electric motors are already better than combustion motors across the board.  They're far more efficient, easier to control, have a flat torque curve, and are much easier to engineer into a vehicle.  The real problem there - engineering-wise - is the battery technology.  There's a huge amount of energy transfer that takes place during your typical gas station fill-up of your gasoline-powered car.  In physics energy is typically represented in Joules, or equivalently kilowatt-hours.  There's about 120MJoules or 33kWh in 1 gallon of gasoline.  A 10-gallon gas tank can therefore hold around 330kWh of energy.  Even the long-range version of the Model S "Plaid" Tesla only has a capacity of 95kWh and takes 15 minutes to charge to 80% even at Tesla Supercharger charging rates.  (That it can nevertheless deliver 1080HP and 1.99s 0-60 times due to the electric motors is amazing.)  It is only because ICEs are so immensely wasteful in the use of energy compared to electric motors that EV's have been able to overcome the huge disadvantage of having to use batteries as their "gas tank".  If battery technology (and our electrical infrastructure) ever gets to the point where batteries can "fill up" - charge - at the same rate (~350kWh in 5 minutes) as gasoline-powered cars then it's game-over for ICEs.  Not just in cars either.  Airplanes and even naval ships will also switch.

MY MAN!!! You know your stuff...are you...perhaps a car person too? 

Well...
Considering that there are a multitude of anime out there, you're bound to feel some sort of emotion when it comes to an anime. 
When first watching anime for the first time, I sorta brushed it off as a meh feeling, but as I soon got into anime, I fell in LOVE. One anime that made me feel complete, was Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler). 
This anime is a piece of me that I will never forget, and I don't think I can ever leave that anime behind. 

Other animes on the other hand, when it comes to other genres, depending on their genre, make me feel dread, suspense or thrill, maybe even...hope? 
Anime in general makes me feel things I don't get from normal life, so really, my overall feeling of anime, is completion.

Especially after a weird health scare that came and went but left me physically limited for a few months. 

I hope you are doing well now!!!

Gorgeous builds, as always. 
Hermitcraft always amazes me, once I get a job, my own PC and stuff, I'm willing to start my own server. (And once that happens, Ill make sure to let you guys in on it ) 
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend watching the Hermitcraft series on youtube. MumboJumbo and Grian both do a great job at their videos

Somebody finally figured out how to hit an enderman with an arrow...

 

Huzzah! Finally a reasonable way to eliminate a Enderman 

So an honest question for you Minecrafters out there -- what are your thoughts on the Dream SMP? 
I have watched the streams a few times, also some Dream (before he was popular), GeorgeNotFound, and Technoblade..my current thoughts are that they are over popular. 

I love Technoblade, he is awesome with his Bedwars vids, but the rest of the crew throws me off a little bit, considering the media idolization they get. It's creepy, don't you think? 
But honestly, what can we expect from Gen Z? 

Hello (hello), from the dark side in
Does anybody here wanna be my friend? (my friend)
Want it all to end
Tell me when the f*** is it all gon' end? (end)
Voices in my head
Telling me I'm gonna end up dead (dead)

XXXTENTACION - Save Me

Although

Currently reading "Brave New World" 
This book is for my Honors English class, and we are digging deeper into Utopian societies, and my teacher explained how this book is just like that.
My brother takes the same class i'm in (But he is a Junior *supposed to be a senior*) and he takes AP English, and soon CCP English which will get him his
college credits . 
My English teacher teaches AP, IB, and CCP English, so me and my brother have the same teacher, despite us being in different grades.

My brother read "Brave New World" In the past when he was a Sophomore, and he said...and I quote "HATED" the book. Considering it makes no sense and it's 
hard to keep up with. Now, I am going to begin reading chapters 1-2, since it's a assignment for my class, and I'll be the judge whether the book is good or not.
But that will take me some time to get through the ENTIRE book. 

Anyhoo -- Have you read "Brave New World" ? If so, what are YOUR thoughts on it? Maybe give me a mini review to see what challenges I have ahead? 
Much appreciated, enjoy your reads!

As much hate as the Steelers get (in my household), this is the game I am waiting for. 
Who do you support? Cleveland Browns or Pittsburgh Steelers?

Have a interesting or special talent? 
Then go ahead and share it -- if you want to of course. 

My special talent is that I am double jointed, and I can twist my arms 360. 
Another (not so special) but nice talent I have is, singing. I do all types including metal, rap, etc. 
Even if your talent is not so special, it's always special in some terms...so don't be shy

Welcome newbie  

Oh boy here I go...

Well, I've been suffering with chronic depression ever since I was 9, and before I go on, this is not something I am asking for sympathy on, this is just me getting my emotions out there.

Life has been a struggle, existing has been a struggle. So really, not so sure how I feel anymore to be honest. I'm very numb-- yet..very..sad. My days are never enjoyable, so I sorta exist without a purpose in my opinion. But overall how I feel is..stressed, down, numb, tired, and unable to enjoy existence. 

FYI -- I am in therapy, so please do not seek help for me.

Blizzard + MSFT??  Who thought that was a good idea?  For $69B US cash!  This makes MSFT the 3rd biggest gaming company by revenue.

Holy cow-- yeah my brother was talking about this too! 
I've known Blizzard for awhile now from their own games, mostly from Overwatch, and hearing this news is INSANE! Really wasn't expecting this...

But, as we know, Microsoft is...well..HAS always been a big company, and this just brings them to the top even more.

pain.

Black Book, great movie.

I never enjoyed math class. Everytime I had math, it was always 1st period, that being said I always dreaded math. 
I'm a Sophomore in high school, and my schedule involves my normal geometry class the a plus math class. 

Meaning two extra math classes to go to. 

Now this makes my time in school, in my opinion, DEPRESSING. So here I am now, I didn't experience this the way you did, but I feel you on the same level.

Excited
