I’m just trying to keep up with the kids today.

Coworker of the cosplayer; I saw the whole thing go down. So perhaps I can clarify a few things I’ve seen brought up in other comments:

It always has been. Lifelong Utah resident, and I’ve never even touched that water. Don’t know why anyone would... Especially when we have other pristine lakes and reservoirs in the area. Bleagh.

Buying a Roomba was the best thing I could do to preserve my relationship with my roommates, whose definition of cleanliness differs from mine. That, and hiring a monthly cleaner. Now, I just have the Roomba go clean the floor a couple of times a week instead of me!

Good idea, if you can find one at a makerspace that would be good.

“I am not perfect. Nor are you.”

I'm ashamed I clicked on this article. I'm just rewarding the assholes who make a buck tearing shit down.

I couldn’t agree more. And yes, I’m totally down with birthday/holiday registries a la Amazon wish lists.

Counterpoint: OK Go is great and this sucks.

“No one is impressed by your dumb choreographed videos, OK Go.”

I was at a convention a year ago headlined by George R.R. Martin and Brandon Sanderson. I have to wonder if a similar exchange happened behind closed doors.

When the ass of the jeans start to stink...time to wash ‘em.

That’s “Rowan” in that picture, not “Stay Puft.” Note the bow tie rather than the sailor scarf.

I think you’d be surprised how many people think they want something because other people want it.

I find this theory somewhat interesting, though technically unnecessary. It seems to expect that an author would need to expand on EVERY student in a class, no matter how irrelevant to the story, for them to exist.

This. The narrative in the books imply that there’s A LOT more people in the school than the ones Harry knows. It’s just also implied that they were unimportant on his daily life, so they’re just random students. Them not having first and last names doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

That’s my plan. I’ll wait it out because there’s still a good 6 months before I order anything. Maybe there will be a 7X out by then or maybe the 5X will be super cheap!

Seriously, Warcraft I & II had a perfectly good story. Coulda made that into a really cool movie.
I don’t really like how they softened up the orcs so much post WoW.
Sure they can be nice *now* but their ultra-hardcore roots actually made them cooler, instead of less.

Finally! A place to store my Benjamins when I go for a run!
