Moisturizer is one hell of a thing to have, you should consider some sort of reminder to make sure you apply it.

Yeah, I should really incorporate it into my normal routine, rather than just applying it when my skin gets dry.

So far I've worked it into my shower routine. I'll usually apply some after I shower, because when I dry myself off with a towel, I get a lot of the tiny flakey skin from my chicken skin rub off. I don't really know that the moisturiser is doing anything there (because the skin only flakes like that when drying with a towel), but I feel better about using it.
And if I've got it at hand I'll give my face a moisturise too.


Shame I don't shave more often, or with a closer shave. I've got some fairly nice moisturising after-shaves as gifts, but because I don't shave much, and only have an electric razer that doesn't get too close, I never remember/bother to use it.

My brothers both have/had bad eczema. Luckily I avoided it.

I do have keratosis pilaris, or "chicken skin", on my arms. It's not uncomfortable in anyway, and I forget I have it really, since it's on the outside of my arms, and I don't see it much unless I've got my arms stretched out in front of me with my palms down.


My only annoying skin condition is that I've recently started to develop dry skin on my face, mainly just below the corners of my mouth, a little bit on my cheeks, and sometimes at the top of my forehead. It can get itchy at times.
But it goes away pretty quickly with some moisturiser.

Unfortunately I forget to moisturise regularly, so my dry skin pops up again, then I moisturise and it goes away, and as a result I fall out of the habit of moisturising so it returns.

It's a shame it's an umbrella though, and the panties are on the underside.

They'll never get wet...

the X-01 light is cast from the eyes, and you can change the color of the eyes by changing the color of the lamp

I like that it's cast from the eyes, since it's a cool effect.
But at the same time, I'm also certain it doesn't make any sense for you to be able to blast highbeams through the eyes and the person inside actually see through it.

And it's a shame it doesn't show the beam of light, like the headlamp on other armors does.
That would look extra cool coming from the eyes.

this is why i did say beforehand
i meant 'why didn't they do this before letting them in'
because the way it's been handled so far in countries that are accepting refugees, it's just a mass grab for brownie(ha) points.

How could we do that?
They just started landing all of a sudden on the shores of Greece, and walking into Europe via Turkey.
It's a mass exodus.

We can't force Turkey or Syria to stop them where they are before we process them, because they're not part of the EU (and in the case of Syria, obviously don't have control of their country).

We can't just let them all stay where they land, because they would overrun nations like Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, etc...
So, the larger western nations start taking them in.

But the refugees were moving anyway. Europe has an open-border policy with all EU nations. Once they've landed in Greece they can walk their way through to Germany.
Greece, Croatia, Bosnia, they don't have the means to stop that many people.
Before you know it there are refugees on your doorstep in France, Germany, Britain, Sweden, etc...

There was never a chance to stop and educate the refugees.

so it'd be a good idea to halt migrants and actually start up a system that lets migrants be sensitized to social structures of other countries.

Thing is, this is impossible to do when they're literally sailing in droves across the Mediterranean, risking drowning themselves, in order to get into Europe.

And unless the EU is going to decide to sail ships through the Med, sinking refugees, then they're not going to stop landing on the shores of Eastern Europe. (I'm not saying that's what should be done, btw).

here's a thought
has anybody actually tried educating and integrating these people into their new lives
because let's be honest, the middle east certainly isn't filled with high class schools that tell students all the details of other countries
so maybe before trying to 'do the right thing' it'd be wise to make sure they know how to act beforehand

i'm just throwing this out here on a hunch, no idea if any of the countries accepting refugees have tried or not

There's so many of them in such a short amount of time that the infrastructure is not yet available to do that.
The first hurdle is even getting them properly registered and settled.

But while waiting for this to happen, all the crime is happening.

C-3PO was shoe-horned into Episode 7, as fan-service (and to check that Anthony Daniels is still alive.

And the thing about him having a red arm was just pointless.
Why tell us that some event happened to a pointless (in terms of plot of Ep.7) character, and not explain what it was at all. It had no relevance to the story.

do you not have any sources for these statistics from your government or police?

On this one occasion, I wouldn't actually trust the police/government, or at least, the police/government of continental eastern europe.
They're rife with accusations of covering up crimes caused by refugees/asylum seekers at the moment.
