I’m not sure sure it’s a trap. The books (at least) do talk about how the Starks are buried with “swords of iron” for that exact reason (to make sure they stay dead). Now, if someone goes pulling the swords out of the sarcophagi in a misguided attempt to arm up the folks in the crypt, weeeeellll.....

Wait....what? That’s been a thing for years and years now.

Looks like an R.O.U.S. to me!

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek—I’ve certainly seen them, usually sitting atop the tray, or in a compartment, usually laying across the lemons.

I got you, fam...

The people that always want to touch mine are weird (even if flattering).  My wife would probably be happier if I trimmed a couple inches off, but luckily for me she also thinks beards are sexy!  Hooray for women like you!

There are tongs? Hah! I’ve never seen them used, even at high-end places. Fingers all the way. I’ve also never seen a bartender wash their hands after handling money/cards before building their next drink...

Came here for this, was not disappointed.

But wait... AT&T tells me I’m on 5G now, with my current iPhone; replaced the LTE badge a couple weeks ago after a carrier update. Are you saying they’re lying to me?

Yes. All the vending machines in my building take Apple pay, Google Wallet, swipe credit cards...oh, and cash.

I know I’m late to the party, but I got you, fam...

Dammit, if only I weren’t flying to Germany for about the same-length trip during that exact date window!

Oh, I don’t know if it’s entirely random.

I also started with “Feet of Clay” (loaned to me by the kid across the hall in my dorm). Honestly, I don’t think it was a terrible place to start. It took me a moment to realize the Rincewind books were earlier in the chronology, and I don’t think I ever read any of them “in order” until the very last few releases.

“Small Gods” may actually be my favorite Discworld book.  It’s brilliant.

Well hell. A little annoyed I payed $300 for these a couple years ago.

Infrared light really wreaks havoc and distorts attempts at facial recognition.

What I don’t get is how offended people get when you turn down a piece of office cake. The reactions run the gamut from bewildered disbelief all the way to genuine anger.

Most people in my office use a paper towel to open the bathroom door (the building has helpfully placed a wastebasket right next to it for exactly that purpose).
