I also found it helpful to watch a couple "Let's Play" videos on youtube.

Luke, thanks for posting this.

Which exactly coincided with my four years in high school. Otherwise a shitty time for me, but ah, those games...

Thanks for the app! It's become my default for taking notes on my phone.

I bought a Benjamin Franklin action figure from The Philadelphia Museum of Art gift shop a few years ago because I thought the idea of an ACTION figure for an intellectual is hilarious. It came with a plastic kite and key.... y'know, because kids love to reenact key moments in the history of scientific discovery (pun…

You are welcome! :)

Cool, hope you like it as much as I do!

Sorry, duplicate post

And wait 'til she leads the charge out of King's Landing in the Battle of the Blackwater, carrying her little battleaxe... Adorbs!

He's both the reason why we didn't suffer world-wide, apocalyptic mass starvation over the past century, and ALSO the inventor and main cheerleader for the use of Chlorine gas in WWI, and thereby the…

Yeah, I got that, I was just being funny. :) Also, I was remembering/referring to this bit by Louis C.K.

But you want them in a pile? Not even in a bag? Or at least stacked neatly?

Ooooohhh, I didn't really look at it that closely or pay attention to the scale. My thinking was "most of the red dots are in the box, and most of the green ones are out of it, and the outlying red ones look kinda close to the box." But you're totally right. Thanks!
