Eevee is best ‘mon. Because cute. Very cute.

The local flavor over in Sacramento is ‘Business 80'. A loop of 50 and 99, going eastbound you pass through the ‘W-X’, mass of on and offramps within about three miles. Then there is a confusing spaghetti tangle of interchanges - traffic is usually fine there, but it’s not for the direction-challenged. Finally, they…

To be fair to McD’s, the stunt was to promote their Buttermilk Chicken Tenders, which are part of their ‘Hey Everyone, Our Food Isn’t Crap’ campaign.

Fun Fact: A Quantum Leap is actually a very, very small amount. Subatomic, even. More properly known as ‘Atomic Electron Transition’, it’s when an electron ‘jumps’ to a higher energy state within an atom.

I’ll just note that the classic ‘people in the middle ages died at thirty’ thing isn’t accurate. What it was was massive infant mortality and child mortality, something almost unheard of today. Thus, the average age of death got skewed. In reality, if you survived to 15 or so, you had pretty even odds of living long…

Not in the slightest. I’ve hung out with him at cons. A genuinely warm and friendly guy. VERY competetive on games, but quite chill.

Left out “It’s not racist if it’s true”, usually citing statistics or events that support the argument.

Woo! They’re gonna have it in my town! *cavorts*

Wonder how many folks were briefly excited by the words ‘instant pot’...

No, there’s a lot of other toll bridges in the Bay, depending on route taken. The Martinez-Benicia bridge. The Carquinez bridge. Plus there are paid ‘express’ lanes for those in a hurry.

Strongly advise against just blowing through though. Go to one of the cash ones and ask what to do. They’ll usually give you the contact info to pay. It will probably be more.

The one I always wondered about were the ads for selling ‘Grit’. I assume it’s rather like the ‘newsletters’ sold by some homeless people?

I used to play Zombie Tag - One person is It. Anyone they tag is also It. Eventually you have a horde of folks running after a few lone survivors. Best played at night.

I wouldn’t call her arm ‘steampunk’. Dishonored has this weird ‘bits of things wired together’ asthetic at times. Billie’s arm is little more than a few scraps of bone and wood- some not even physically connected - with a glove for the hand... Yet it works because magic.

Might be a chunk of it. Or a piece of his other eye.

There is also a bottle of flammable Orbon Rum in the bar/brewery where you find the Rat Liquor*, as well as one right at the building entrance. Toss one of those and puppers be ash, yo.

My father installed bicycle water bottle holders in our family van. Great for road trips.

Just gonna say... that video is about two or three notches too epic for fancy dice equipment. That needs to have oiled-up barbarians murdering things, or possibly oiled-up self-winding watch bits floating together while showing off a tourbillon made out of meteor fragments or something..

That or bismuth dice.

That or bismuth dice.

Nice and all, but I would worry greatly about the dice picking up a latent magnetic charge, which would forever ruin their fairness.
