D: Only one vowel in last Hangman??? That's unfair!!!

Burn this structure!

E: Too bad, my guy! Hangman should transform into a trivial difficulty for my following word, though!

The Chronicler · **Reply #622 on:** July 09, 2024, 06:42:49 PM

F: Don't like hangman? How about something more simple, like the Alphabet Game? That game could certainly use more than just two players...

G: Awesome idea, Chronicler. I want more than one player on that Alphabet Activity in the other thread too. We have been stuck with the same two letters every turn, which is not okay. Oh, no, no, no! Also, thank you so much for the updated stats, admin user! I've already personally DMed you to express my appreciation, but now I can say it here since I'm not forbidden by letters that limit my speech!

H: You're very welcome, ImpracticalDino! I always enjoy a good set of statistics myself.

I: As the whole data fanfare on the forum comes to a close, we can now go back to our regularly scheduled program of the excluded letter game that has random sentences that do not have to answer one another! You can answer one another though, purely up to each person here.

J: Alright, with that topic wrapped up, what shall we move onto next?

K: Not sure. The universe is our limit when it comes to what topics we can discuss, some of which we can discuss in other threads anyway. However, I will mention that yesterday I passed an exam that earned me a CompTIA CySA+ certification. Hopefully it is money well spent that will help me with job prospects in the Cybersecurity industry.

L: I don't have much time to spare today, so I must keep this post short... that is to say, I have nothing significant to speak about, right here, right now. *shrugs*

M: This is one of those instances where you are funny. The way you wrote that post and all. I enjoy your presence. Though that is quite obvious, and I just wanted to say that as I have nothing else to say really.

Edit: Actually, fanfiction.net is down since 7 hours ago. There we go, the topic for the day, all written without the forbidden letter.

N: Pretty late today, so I must repeat here a quick speech, followed by me proceeding with other tasks I must take care of before bedtime.

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #631 on:** July 12, 2024, 11:41:49 PM

O: I replied very quickly at this instance, it seems. Free time was lent with huge quantities. I can't argue with that!

P: It's Saturday, so as has become usual for me these days, I had set aside some time this afternoon to assemble yet another Lego set. I've been collecting quite a lot this year, mostly because of a certain theme running this year that I find very fascinating.

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #633 on:** July 13, 2024, 10:32:50 PM

Q: What's the theme running this year, Chronicler? I'm not a Lego enthusiast, so I wouldn't have any clue. Regardless, I still think legos are very cool and ageless. I should tidy up and organize the goals that I have written down a long time ago by the end of this weekend. I have neglected them long enough, and the only ones I really have numbered and listed are my Land Before Time goals. When will I even get those goals done? Only time will tell, but I won't bet on my attention span.

R: It's basically a Space style utilized with many of the typical themes. That means themes like City, Technic, and so on have some sets in those line-ups that fit a space setting (and identified as such with a special label on the side of the box of those special sets that simply says "SPACE" with the iconic Lego Classic Space logo). At this time, I now have most of what I intended to get, but I'm also still waiting on a good chance to get the biggest ones available.

S: The theme for Lego in the current year will take place in the final frontier of mankind. The area we want to explore may be a bleak, outer black area of zero gravity, but that won't deter you from completing your goal of aiming for the white dot above. But anyway, nice Lego theme! I like it. Good luck on getting everything you want to get!

T: I wish I could share such a weird reason for my brief absence a day prior. Perhaps here is hardly an ideal place. Will share more once I'm more available...

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #637 on:** July 16, 2024, 09:47:34 PM

U: There was a freak incident with the internet not being available for the person above me. I read that in another thread. I wonder how that happened once The Chronicler is more available to speak on the incident.

The Chronicler · **Reply #638 on:** July 17, 2024, 07:30:04 PM

V: Okay, here's the story. On a national route a few miles north from me, a fuel truck had pulled onto the side of the road directly below some power lines. Somehow, that truck practically exploded, and the resulting fire was so intense that it completely melted those power lines.

While I was lucky to not lose power at my place (unlike those who were closer to the site of the incident), I did lose internet connection, so I had no idea what was going on until my dad got a text from our internet supplier informing him about the reason for our sudden loss of connection. Internet connection in our house was lost at around 3 pm on Monday (forcing both of my parents who work separate jobs remotely from home to end their work day early), and was finally restored at around 9 am the following morning. That left me with not much to really do to occupy my time, so I ultimately decided to do a little cleaning in my room that I had been putting off for months, so at least I'm glad to finally get that taken care of.

Earlier today, I decided to ask for more information regarding this strange incident (so I could tell you what really happened), and it turns out there was an almost identical incident in almost the exact same location just last summer. With that in mind, I can't help but wonder if there needs to be a redesign of that infrastructure so something like this won't happen a third time.

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #639 on:** July 17, 2024, 08:40:39 PM

W: That is such a coincidence, an incident like that, happening in almost the exact same location?! It doesn't sound like to me the infrastructure needs to be changed necessarily. I mean, fuel trucks having to pull over, then they suddenly explode and damage electrical lines nearby. The fuel trucks themselves are the problem I feel like. Those drivers probably could tell that something smelt rather 'fishy' in the fuel truck that they are driving. That's the reason they pull over in the first place to the side. If it suddenly exploded in the middle of traffic, actual lives could be lost from an incident like that, I'd imagine.

I'm glad the outage did have a silver lining in the end, though! It made me laugh.
