![]() I remember first seeing "NOW YOU'RE THINKING WITH PORTALS" back in summer of 2006 in the Pit crossing guy threads, and the "GET THE DELICIOUS CAKE" threads appeared shortly afterwards. Much longer than when portal was announced. "It is delicious cake, you must eat it" has been around for a long ass time. Then, according to a ED talk from 2007 about Portal, where they discussed the presence of the This is sparta meme inside the game, a user named Anonylol stated the following: In July 2006, during the well-known annual E3, a first trailer from the Portal game was released: ![]() Then, any other posters have to find the most suitable way to get to the cake unharmed. You WANT to eat it at any cost, no matter what obstacles or… things are in your way. Now, you have to imagine this: You can't get your attention away from the cake. The first poster gives you a plan (most of the time a picture) featuring your character on one side, and your goal, a delicious cake, on the other side. "Get the cake", sometimes reffered to as "Get the delicious cake", "Delicious cake game" or sometimes "You vs Cake" is a solve the puzzle game. But, be careful, because the cake is a lie ![]() In it, one of your goal is to get a cake.

![]() ![]() That’s possible with one, maybe two, boxes but not with the six I ended up with.īitchin' Chickens on The Funny Farm: A Saga Of Prin… bus at the side of the road, getting on and off the ferry, and then heading across the road to where my car is parked. You can imagine me trekking down my long driveway, loaded down with boxes of chickens, waiting for the 7 a.m. I take my car on the ferry to work on Monday and bring it back home on Thursday, traveling the rest of the time by local bus. Living on an island means, that for the most part, I have to schlep birds into town. My fear was, in the dark, I’d choose the wrong ones, but apparently I did okay. ![]() Armed with my list, which I had carefully honed over the last couple of weeks, I methodically boxed up the birds – an exercise which took 45 minutes. I have electricity in my coop, but I knew if I turned the lights on the flock would be more difficult to deal with. After dinner I packed them up in the dark with a headlamp (which died mid-project) and a flash light. ![]() Last Sunday, I assembled six moving boxes which I had picked up for free at the local recycling centre and filled the bottom with shredded paper I’d brought home from work. I was hoping to sell as many birds as I could to one buyer and I did. I looked at a combination of factors: beautiful birds, interesting features, age, egg shell colour and what genetics were in the mix. How do you cut that many? Believe me, the decision was difficult. That still left me with chickens and my ultimate goal was 25. So that came to 16 and that didn’t include the many chicks who went off to new homes in the summer. Two weeks ago, the frizzled cockerel was adopted and three girls went to another home. One of the problems of having a larger flock is having to monitor how each individual is doing and oftentimes illnesses come to light only when a bird is really sick.Īfter having re-homed 14 hens last spring, I dipped my toe in the water by re-homing a few more: one family on Gabriola took four hens and two cockerels two boys went off to Quadra Island and another to Lasqueti Island a single hen found a home in a small flock and two olive eggers went off to an urban keeper looking for retirement hens. And after having a rough season of a series of health issues in my flock I wanted the opportunity to be able to spend more ‘quality’ time with fewer birds. ![]() I vowed not to be a victim of chicken math and take on more work than I wanted to manage. I’ve been saying for weeks, if not months, that I will be downsizing my flock. Knowing you have a problem is the first step to getting a grip on it. At least I recognized I was over my limit. Truthfully, it was sometimes hard to know the exact number because the flock fluctuated as birds were coming and going. When they were in the pen it didn’t seem like many, but when folks asked me how many birds I had I started to say ‘too many’. This summer I was well over that – some of them were chicks I was growing out before re-homing, but even then, I was over capacity. At some point though, we need to ask ourselves how many chickens are enough? Whatever the situation it’s easy to rationalize our ever expanding flocks. I am as susceptible as anyone else to wanting one of every kind of chicken keeping chicks my broodies have hatched taking in rescues or not being able to turn down a good deal. Chicken math sounds more benign than chicken addiction, but in some cases I think they are interchangeable. I often post memes and cartoons on my Facebook page that point out this phenomenon – it may hit close to home, we know that it might apply to us, but shrug it off. I probably don’t have to explain what chicken math is, but for those of you who don’t know it’s the insidious habit of acquiring a few more birds than you had originally intended. ![]() ![]() ![]() Military Police Brigade - Attack on Titan.Special Operations Squad - Attack on Titan.In his mindless state, he manages to find the limbless Bertolt and eats him, gaining the powers of the Colossal Titan and turning back into a human as a result. Armin, after being injected with the Titan serum by Levi, becomes a pure Titan. Levi, in a charitable act to end Erwin’s suffering, allows him to peacefully rest and revives Armin with the Titan serum. In other words, Levi held the life of both Armin and Erwin in his hands, but he could only save one of them. In the end, Captain Levi was the one to choose the recipient of the injection. The Titan injection would cause the one who received it to turn into a Titan and gain their regenerative properties, but would then have to consume someone with the power of the Nine Titans in order to become human once again.Ĭommander Erwin, who previously was hit by debris caused by the Beast Titan, was also currently in critical condition and on the verge of death. Armin, badly burnt from the steam, is on the brink of death. In Season 3, Episode 18 of the anime follows scenes of Eren trying to convince Levi to revive Armin with their vial of Titan serum. The power of one of the Nine Titans (special Titans like the Colossal Titan, the Female Titan, the Armored Titan, and so on) can be “inherited” if another Titan devours the original holder of the power. In the end, both Armin and Bertolt are left on the brink of death as a result of this attack. ![]() Limbless and powerless, Bertolt comes flying out of his Titan while Eren drags him out. ![]() To Bertolt’s surprise Eren comes spinning and cuts Bertolt out of the Colossal Titan’s nape. While distracted, Bertolt realizes that Eren had hardened his Titan to cover the entrance. The Colossal Titan ended up using its steam to burn Armin until it thought he was dead. However, Armin’s strong will to protect Eren gives him the strength to continue hanging on to prevent the Colossal Titan from killing him. In an attempt to kill Armin, the Colossal Titan releases an incredible amount of steam as Armin hangs on to his maneuvering gear, which is anchored to its teeth ( Season 3, Episode 17). Bertholt is shown releasing varying levels of explosions when he transforms into the Colossal Titan that can range in scale from a minor gust of wind to a miniature nuclear explosion. The Colossal Titan also seems to have the ability to control how much energy is released whenever it transforms. Either way, using this ability renders it immobile until it can regenerate enough power to be able to move its massive body. Luckily, Titans have regenerative properties, so its muscles can be regenerated as long as it has enough time to do so. The more the Colossal Titan uses its steam, the more muscle mass is consumed until the Colossal Titan only has bones left. Using its steam abilities slowly degenerates other parts of the body as well. Releasing steam requires a large amount of energy and comes at the expense of not being able to move, as the energy that would normally be used to control its muscles is used to generate steam instead. The Colossal Titan can release hot steam on command, which will quickly burn anyone touching its muscles directly or swinging around on their maneuvering gear nearby. That said, it does have a defense mechanism that allows it to protect itself from enemies. While the Colossal Titan excels in sheer power and size, it has an incredibly limited range of mobility. Viewing a regular human body without skin is terrifying, however, seeing a skinless disproportionate humanoid being standing 60 meters tall with an evil, menacing expression amplifies this feeling of unease significantly. The Colossal Titan’s appearance resembles a human body without any skin whatsoever, leaving muscle, exposed tendons, and fibers that hold everything together in full view. In addition to its size, its spine chilling appearance can bring terror to all that witness it. Towering at 60 meters tall, the Colossal Titan effortlessly broke down the outermost wall in the Fall of Shiganshina Arc. In the beginning of the series, the ability to transform into the Colossal Titan was held by Bertolt Hoover, though the power was eventually transferred to Armin Arlelt. This unprecedented event allowed hoards of Titans to flow into the city, leading to over 10,000 citizens being devoured and many more becoming refugees, eventually causing the fall of Wall Maria. The Colossal Titan is noted to have peered over the 50 meter wall of Shiganshina and even managed to destroy it with a single swift kick. It was one of the first Titans to successfully attack the Wall in the year 845 after a century-long period of peace. The Colossal Titan is the infamous Titan known for its terrifying and enormous size and its abilities to appear seemingly from thin air. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She holds two masters degrees from Oxford University and MIT as well as a bachelor's degree in computer science from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Created by Laura Gibson and Charlie Bennett, the show's eight-episode first season was released on Netflix on April 17, 2020. Too Hot to Handle has returned for a fourth season with a brand new cast. Since most viewers spent their weekends in lockdown bingewatching this terrible yet amazing reality show series - we think it's about time to find out what happened to the gang after their abstinent adventure in Mexico came to an end. Too Hot to Handle is an American-British reality television dating game show produced by Fremantle production companies Talkback and Thames. ![]() So, without further ado, here's where the cast of Season Two is now.Fans have been obsessed with Netflix's answer to Love Island, Too Hot to Handle, which puts a group of singletons in a paradise resort with one instruction in order to win the jackpot prize: no intimacy of any kind. Too Hot To Handle is a TV show all about hot people, but in any given season of the show which is now in its fourth season on Netflix there are one or two. But of course, the real raison d'être for Too Hot to Handle is for us to get to watch them make out, anyway. Which is likely why, by the first five minutes of Episode Two, these people are all making out with each other. In a new video interview with the whole cast posted on Too Hot To Handles Instagram yesterday 28 December, Brittan and James revealed they initially took a break after leaving the show. Most of them probably already did before. Yes, these models are on a Netflix show and will go on to make several thousand dollars per Instagram post after the show airs. This tried and true method will surely result in the participants forming valuable emotional bonds. Soon after they arrive, a cone-shaped AI descends upon the party to inform them that really they are there to learn to form deeper connections through workshops, and all sex is banned! No kissing, heavy petting, or sex is allowed on the retreat-and if it happens, it’ll result in a deduction from the prize pot of $100,000. If you need a refresher, the premise is this: a bunch of conventionally hot, sex-driven singles from all over the world are tricked into believing they are coming onto a Love Island-esque reality show at a tropical villa. Too Hot To Handle season two is finally here, making fans of the hit show very happy. And it’s back for a Season Two, with an all new cast of flawless Instagram models, who are supposedly all so goddamn gorgeous in real life that they can’t keep their hands off one another for more than an hour. Take a look at the 2021 cast and their Instagram handles.
