Ultra Heavy Happy Hour (IHF Virtual Gatherings) Thread

@RoxRocks86:

As for Hawaii’s snowy volcanoes, Mauna Kea (Hawaii Island) is 4,207.3 m (13,803 ft.) above sea level & I believe Haleakala (Maui) gets snow as well which is 3,055 m (10,023 ft.) above sea level. Thank you google 

Oh! And thank you for this. They are high  ??? I figured they would have to be to get snow on them. A rule of thumb is that temps drop by 1C for every hundred vertical meters over sea level. You can fairly accurately judge air temps at sea level based on the snowline on the mountains you can see from my house as the tallest is 1000m a.s.l.

Glad I was able to get my act together and attend this one. Great to see everyone. Thanks to Reuben for hosting and Giles for taking over and staying with us so late into the night.

I thought about attending yesterday, but I still feel kind of new here and was not sure if I fit in yet. From what I've read I see some people were just passive listeners, so next time I will try that.

Maybe after a few beers/whiskeys I will have a bit of courage to participate.

Ah yes, the @Filthy method [emoji1]

You are not new here. Well established and valued member I would say.

I think you’ll enjoy it. See you next time.

Yeah @Oaktavia if I can fit in here, it's proof anybody can. I wouldn't sweat it next time because everyone seems like 'good people'. 

[Manticore]

I guess I need to get some new wallpaper to compete with @Chris ! Lol!

[Oaktavia]

@neph93 I appreciate the kind words
@Filthy hell yeah dude

Early doors, yesterday evening. There were 16 online together at one point…

[Kasi]

When the plans for the next one…

@Kasi:

G-San and I were just discussing this, and once a month seems about right. If people want it more often, please say so and I’ll make it happen.

I’ll post times for the next one in a week or so.

[Kasi]

Once a month seem right
Thanks @neph93

@neph93:

I'm still having involuntary flashbacks 

Maybe next time I'll give everyone's retinas a break

[neph93]

I bloody loved it. It was very impressive on zoom. It did demand attention however.

That same pattern is the carpet in the hotel from The Shining

In reference to the “Shining”, the twins and Nicholson scared the hell out of me as a kid.  As an adult, I love the movie and Nicholson is perfect for the role.  Also loved him in “One flew over”.

If you help me put this up, I’ll give you a free roll or two haha

Yeah, that was a realization that we had several months after the wallpaper went up…

Your paper looks good, @Appfaff.  Good luck with the installation!

This sounds welcoming and I’ll try to join the next.

Please do! The two previous occasions have been a very pleasant way to pass an evening, especially in these socially distanced times.

@neph93:

The background competition was tough. It was supposed to be a zoom background, and @Manticore had some pretty special ones, but I'm going to give it to @Chris and his truly glorious wallpaper. I'm still having involuntary flashbacks 

my neck is still crying out for help
