Ask a forumer anything...

[raynev1 1,886]

Only when I talk to me and me don't listen . 

Have you ever thought about doing something and change your mind , then realise you should have went with your first thought ?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Hm, I've done my fair share of second-guessing our decision to move back to the US over the past year and a half, but you know what?  You don't know how things would have gone had you chosen differently.  Sure, they could have gone better than what you chose, but they also could have gone far worse.  You just gotta play the hand you've been dealt and deal with things as they come.

 

What were you doing around 10AM yesterday?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I was on air on radio.

Have you ever been on a radio show?

[airman15 4,111]

No, but I once emailed one of the local stations to find out what the name of a certain soundtrack they were using on their announcements. In doing so they put an end to me chasing one of many auditory white whales!

How do you normally stream music?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Through Spotify.

Who will be elected president in four years?

[raynev1 1,886]

Here , in the US . The Donald won . "Let's Make America Great Again"  And no , I didn't vote . 

Do you care who wins elections or do you figure , they will put who they want in anyway ?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Yeah, I don't really care.  I've been watching people on both sides whining about how the next guy who gets in is gonna further curtail our liberties and roll back our progress, and mostly I see nothing of real substance happen.  Who knows what will happen next.  I wonder if it will be more of the same.  Hm.  I guess it'll be up to me to do my best in my own life.

 

If you're an American, do you have plans for Thanksgiving?  What are you up to?  If you're not an American, how do you feel about us as a whole?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I think America is an incredible place that I'd love to see and experience first hand, so much that I'm planning to move there in a few years. 

Looking forward to the holiday season?

[airman15 4,111]

Absolutely! It's just that Christmas comes a little too early.. The Walmart at Rocklin Crossings has Xmas decorations up and I wish we'd get through Thanksgiving first! That is a much better holiday and I will be getting four days off for it!

Do you have any big plans for the next time you get time off?

[Prophet42 1,501]

Going to see my parents for Thanksgiving.

When was the last time you had a vacation, and what did you do for that vacation?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

March 2015. A one week trip to Tenerife.

If you did a road trip, which places would you like to travel between?

[_Michael 2,681]

I'd like to drive from Helsinki through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, through Poland and round into Germany. Or down from Sweden into Denmark and Germany. 

Between two places, would you drive the scenic route or fly direct?

[airman15 4,111]

Flying direct, I get some really good views each time i'm at a window seat! That's if I have to be at a certain place when I don't have a lot of afforded time to take alternative ways to travel. Otherwise if the destination is close or if there's plenty of daylight to burn i'll take the scenic drive!

If you could pick any far-away location to go, what would be your preferred choice of transport?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

A fighter jet of some sort. MiG 29 maybe.

Would you like to drive a Jaguar E-Type at some point?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

YES, VERY MUCH SO.  Heck, I'd even settle for an X-Type.

What was the worst job you've ever had?  What was so bad about it?  If you haven't worked or are lying about only having great jobs, just skip the answer hahahaha!

[TakemeThere 5,833]

There's a few to choose from there. Probably go with KFC. I was working in the back frying all the crap they tried to pass off as food. Tossing breaded piece of meat in vats of boiling oil while you coworkers smoke next to you and the boss keeps yelling to hurry your *** off 8 hours straight was not my idea of fun. Hence why I only lasted about a week. 

What do you think is the best TV show of 2016 and what is it about that show that is so great?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Either QI, because although Sandi Toksvig is Danish, she's doing a remarkably good job replacing Stephen Fry. That, or The Grand Tour. I haven't seen it, since it hasn't begun airing yet, but there's no way it could possibly suck. It's also worth noting that I don't watch TV a lot.

What would you do if you had a Toyota 4Runner?

[Vitoraju 675]

I would sell 

 

How you met the simtropolis?

[metarvo 710]

I started looking for stuff about SimCity 4 online in 2004 as soon as I got the game home from the store.  First, I found the official SimCity website; then, I stumbled upon SimTropolis and the rest is history.  I didn't actually join the site for a few years, but then I started seeing all the cool stuff and couldn't stay away.

How's the housing market in your area?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Bad. Due to the surge of immigration over the past few years, there aren't a lot of houses and apartments currently available. But wherever I go in my town I see brand new and very modern housing projects springing up, so it's hopefully solved in a couple of years.

Care to tell me a joke?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

What did 0 say to 8?  NICE BELT!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

[Fantozzi 4,067]

Beeing castrated by Trump-supporters. Everything else I can't forsee.

 

 

 

Can you describe the feeling of satisfaction - or maybe, can you describe a situation or something you had the feeling - this is quite satisfying?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Braking at the exact right spot, hitting the apex, and flooring it out of a tricky corner. It's only happened to me in video games, but that's good enough.

Do you own a car? And if so, what make and model?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

My wife drives a 2007 Mazda5 Touring, and my own is a 2007 Mazda3 Grand Touring.  Her 5 is simply the best, most versatile car you could ask for, especially if your family is 4 people or smaller, and how sexy is that thing to be a minivan?  The hottest-handling minivan on the face of the planet.  My 3 is the fastest, funnest car I've ever owned, although it does occasionally make me miss my JDM 1.5L Impreza...

 

What games are you into right now?  What makes them interesting?

[Abrams 1,744]

Of course skylines and GTA.

I love playing skylines because i can do whatever i want and the same in GTA

What pet would you like?

[Prophet42 1,501]

A cat

What is the longest you have ever had to drive in a car, and for what reason?

[Fantozzi 4,067]

3200 km in 3 weeks. I rounded (circeled?) the iberian peninslua in a very old car (a citroen visa) with a friend of mine when I was a student. Just for curiosity, just to see the world (of course: a small part of it).

 

Who in your opinion is the most important woman in history? Why?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Miss Liberty, because she's still standing tall after all these years.

Do you like sarcasm?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Pff, no.  I mean, yes.  I sincerely like sarcasm.

 

What's the best comic strip?  Why do you think so?

[Cyclone Boom 16,876]

For me it's The Adventures of Tintin. They're such classics and have marvellous stories and characters.

How did you first become aware of Simtropolis, and what made you join?
