There are 3 marines in increasingly better camouflage
It's not just a wrench, it's a "hand-held nutrunner"
Good to hear
I've not been to Ireland, everything except Asia is a long way from Australia, so I've only been to North America once once, Europe once, and Africa once. How many times have you been to Ireland?
I prefer warm, but I've never really been anywhere cold, in Australia if it got to 40f I'd be wearing every piece of warm clothes I own
Holiday is good, taking 3 weeks so plenty of time to relax. The people are great, the food is amazing and really varied - we're in Hue so last night had Bun No Hue (a regional specialty like Pho)
The system of government doesn't tell you that much about the place though, for example China and Vietnam are similar in some ways, but totally different in others

Aussie in Vietnam on holiday, where it is pretty nice considering it's the middle of winter, but winter is the dry season. I think in Celsius, but I looked up a conversation and it's 65-80f here (night/day)
I thought you said -40 at first, which sounded surprising for California! I've only been once but that was the middle of summer, went from LA to Vegas via Palm Springs, then up to Amboy to do some of the old Route 66. By the time we got to Needles it was 105f overnight, and we were camping, so we were in and out of the pool all night
One of the things I like about the Pern universe (similar to the Wool universe) is that you start with a technologically advanced society that (for whatever reason) loses knowledge, and the way that hidden history impacts society over extended periods
What part of the world are you in, and what's the weather like there?
Does your quote above actually appear anywhere on that page (or did it at some point) because I can't find it?
Edit: So the quote is real (and they either edited the original forum post or made it in an email or similar). What an asshole
... I award you zero points, and may god have mercy on your soul
