Yeah, I’ve always wondered if you own an exorbitantly expensive car, if you then have a special rider on your policy so that when Sally Housecoat runs into you, your insurer doesn’t have to try and get blood from a stone.
I always track how long it takes me to read a book (and, if it’s on Kindle, it’s always more time than the Kindle suggests is the average). I peak out at about 300 wpm for super-fluid writing like Stephen King, 250 for YA stuff, and 200 for nonfiction or literary fiction. It took me almost 18 hours to read Richard…

I have fond memories of racing on randomly generated courses in F-Zero X, and occasionally watching half the racers fly off of some poorly designed curve.
Now if only they could work in twelve versions of the Excitebike theme...
It’s true, we can’t things from a position of power(alpha). But like you said, that power isnt reality though.
I can not tell you how many times I’ve sang ‘Dress Barn Woman’ to the tune of Spinal Tap’s ‘Sex Farm’.
Don’t forget Drogon, who died on his way back to his home planet.
Yeah, we were underappreciated in our time. It’s no Game of Throne, that’s for sure.
No need to be petty. ‘Sorry I doubted you, we’ll agree to disagree’ would have sufficed.
