Well, they do have to rest between their duties.

They were also farmers and fishermen that settled North America (failed) and most of Briton (succeeded for 100 years). The rape, pillage and plunder groups were about the same percentage of the population as cowboys were of the US in the 1800s.
Oh and they never had horned helmets. Or at least any that lived beyond one battle didn't.

I would guess that it sort of has.

Yeeahh, "sort of" is right. My dip stick former employer made me trim it, hair too, because part of my job was representing the company. Now it's lost all it's colour. The wife prefers it short plus I get too many Santa jokes once it reaches a decent length. The hair is getting rather thin but I'll let it grow as long as I can.

Haha I can see that. I've been growing my beard about 10 months now and have fallen deep down the beard product rabbit hole. Today I smell like blueberries and leather and it's amazing.

Is it? I meant to wait several months after finally getting a good job to buy my first place, but ended up finding a good deal only 2 months after starting it. I had no money, but was able to get a 97% loan with a good rate. Granted, the place I bought wasn't very expensive...[/QUOTE]

Then the loan regulations have gotten A LOT more relaxed than I realized. Not good.

my theory is that there's too many weather models. and they all contradict each other. i've learned to watch the radar myself.

with wages, more required post-high education, and living expenses the way they are, it's getting harder not to for most people.
