Yeah, there’s a twist to cat intelligence that makes it harder to spot sometimes. Read more

She was perfectly proper vowels. It’s the “dd” pronounced as “th” that’s the weird bit - MOHR-fith.

FYI, there does appear to be a “regular” edition available too, which seems to have almost identical content (it might be missing one or two of the illustrations), but in a single volume with a more conventional (but still fancy) slipcase and a far cooler (in my opinion) cover. The price for that one is only…

Gollum vs. Ed and Ein?

I still ran into a weird one - I was a 15 year old king (grandson of the previous king, no other viable heirs) and about the time I got started, I got a “bully” who was 4 years old and had the ability to turn other children against me. Me. The king. Bullied by a 4 year old and his toddler friends.

The Pope can no longer publicly accept cannibalism. Read more

Sounds like we’re gonna need a CKIII version of this classic...

I think it’s more like the Dead Space of movies, which is sort of what people were saying when they first saw the trailer. I liked Pandorum a lot, though - I went into it expecting absolutely nothing and I think the moment that won me over 100% was when they manage to take down one of the creatures and then they don’t… Read more

Yeah, I imagine the bug was something like your character had the option to reveal the secret they didn’t know, and just got a bit mangled when putting it into the patch notes, happens sometimes, especially with length patch notes.

Remember, folks, many of your fellow citizens are selfish psychopaths who would rather you or your loved ones needlessly suffer and die, than they have to do without a petty luxury for themselves. Read more

Unfortunately, the Maine wedding has shown us that the people who bear the worst consequences may be those who had nothing to do with the original bad decision. Read more

If it were that simple, yeah. But actually it means your grandma dies or your younger brother has heart complications the rest of his life because the dumb can’t not be dumb.

I mean, at the second episode, it was very clear that this was an anthology series with through-lines, and I don’t know that it’s fair to expect things to wrap up in a cohesive fashion. That’s not what the show’s trying to do.

Did you also notice that “George Freeman” (aka Uncle George) was the author displayed on the book?

On the road, she passed Bessie Stringfield, the first Black woman to ride her motorcycle in all 48 connected states.

I find it incredibly weird to see how Gates’s reputation has shifted over time. My first memory of him is that he was the clever, rich nerd who was going to put a computer in every house and classroom. Then, somewhere along the way, he was the new monopoly-hungry Charles Foster Kane, a tyrant who wanted to crush all… Read more

Please tell me more about how Bill Gates plans to vaccinate the world. This is absolutely something I can get behind.

I don’t know. Many windows can be opened. Also humans have been known to be quite crafty, especially ones in R&D. I bet when the smoke started form the batteries, they figured it was difficult to breath and even if the windows didn’t open, probably found some way to break the window without making a bomb.
