D&D players: Huh?

One of my favorites! She is just so incredible with making you think about concepts.

I finally got me an ostrich! Very cute!

Ah, okay, thanks! I love reading them, but James Marsters is phenomenal on the audio books, so maybe I’ll check that collection out as well.

I’ve been meaning to read Side Jobs - does it finally explain the sasquatch? Gotta do something while I’m waiting for the next book!

I’m currently doing a re-listen to Name of the Wind and catching a lot of references I missed on the first read and first listen.

My man R2-D2. Took no shit from anyone, did what he thought was right, was around from the beginning, and survived practically everything. Plus was a loyal friend to Threepio even when he was acting like an idiot

I loved the SW card game as a kid, but everyone wanted to play Magic instead. I will admit, however, that the rules probably weren’t the greatest. You just played for that 1 game out of 20 where you actually managed to get the right cards out to blow up the Death Star or superlaser a planet, or had a Vader vs. Luke fight.

Also IG-88 had a whole backstory in the EU (now SW Legends) where there were FOUR of him

Carrot in a Box is legendary because of Sean Lock. I watch at least once a month

Yeah, more an aspect of where I’ve lived than everyone. Although I’ve yet to see a farm on the beach, which is what I really want. Drinking fresh milk while you watch the waves…the dream!

Yeah, but having done both, it’s equally weird that people can just…go to the beach? Without making it a whole week trip! But then they can’t just go to a farm for fresh cheese and eggs on a Thursday afternoon?

But then they might be kidnapped by a bulging, beastly man in a blue leisure suit!

If tomorrow we banned non-self-driving (NSD) cars, sure. But in most countries, grandfathering in old cars is going to happen for a while. Which means that self-driving and non-self-driving cars will have to share the road.

I could see some transitions possibly. For example, on a 4-lane highway: “In 2027, lane 1 will be separated by a barrier and only allow SD cars. Lanes 2-4 will be for NSD cars only. In 2029, lanes 1-2 for SD. By 2033, NSD cars will be banned on this highway.”

Is that Ace Ventura in there?

What YEAR is it? My 10-year-old self would be so excited for this

All I did was set my password to “show me the money” and it just kept increasing my balance!

I recently taught my 11-year-old nephew “how planes fly.” A bit oversimplified, of course, but words like camber and lift and circulation were tossed around along with Bernoulli’s principle.

“My neighbor Jerry wrote his password on a post-it note and stuck it to his monitor that I can see through the window. Let me just add it to the database…”

LARGEST PASSWORD LEAK EVER RELEASED BY BOB SMITH OF 123 MAPLE ST!!!

I pay for MLB TV, because I live in a different media market than my favorite team. So it works perfectly! Unless I’m visiting my parents. Or often when I’m traveling. Or is the game is on cable. Or the weird exclusive games like Apple TV. Or if it’s the playoffs. Or because the chemtrails are too thick that day so the lizard people are out. But works perfectly!

Seriously, though, MLB does work pretty well and I do like some features (syncing radio broadcast with the TV, condensed games if I missed one). But it’s very weird that most of my family who lives within 20 miles of the stadium can’t watch the team when I live hundreds of miles away and can.

Maybe he just likes summer breaks as well. Then he gets back in the fall, and is all like “oh shit I need a new plan to kill that kid, uh…maybe I can send a man rat to sleep with his best friend? It’ll take me at least until the spring to get that going, though.”

I think that’s also the problem today, albeit of a different sort. I had a friend who was very seriously into the “punch Nazis” meme on the internet a few years ago. But he would often talk to us about it and finding someone to punch. He sometimes said shit like “I could just go to the Republican national convention and start punching people.”

If it floats your boat, punch Nazis. But don’t punch everybody you disagree with because “not supporting universal healthcare” is not being a Nazi.
