I have endometriosis, and Mirena has been incredible for my quality of life. I used to spend four or five days out of commission, taking multiple prescriptions to manage my pain. After my IUD insertion, I’ve lost my period and gotten back a week of my life every month. Plus it only needs to be replaced every five…

Shockingly, if you take away what makes The Witcher unique (i.e. Witchers and monsters), you wind up with a really generic fantasy story.

Also a great place to get cardboard boxes if you’re moving or plastic tubs for container gardening.

Two e’s in “steel your nerves”, Brendan. (Technically four, I suppose.)

I’m kinda impressed that they managed to make a dragon design so bland that it looks like Elsa. That must have taken a lot of work.

I bought Townscaper on your recommendation and adore it! Thank you!

The difference is the pandemic. With so many jobs temporarily or permanently gone, people who previously could have only gone to a protest for a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday can now be out on the streets any day, any time, making their voices known.

Valyria did not use sigils. Aegon the Conqueror adopted the three-headed dragon to represent himself and his sisters before he started the Conquest.

This earworm is so powerful, I use to to kill other less-desirable earworms. It’s a cannibal earworm.

I loaded up a dozen mods and am preparing to run Dragon Age: Origins for the second time, this time in style!

New Asgard is in Tønsberg, Norway, where Odin died and where the ice giants were defeated at the beginning of the first Thor movie.

If you like Mexican, you have to go to Evie’s Tamales. It’s in a tiny little Mexican neighborhood right next to the highway. Some of the best stuff I’ve ever had, from tamales to tacos to steak milanesa. They’ll give you free cookies after you eat; if you like them, just head down the street to the authentic bakery…

Well, now I want to hold a dinner party where everyone has to bring a sword.

Between this and the mulled port article, you make me want to propose to you, Claire.

Shriiiiiiiiiiiimp. You could do a couple different kinds- a sous vide scampi, coconut shrimp, shrimp for tacos, shrimp for fried rice...

YOU’RE A GENIUS.

On one hand, that’s a good point. On the other hand, King would be the first person to agree that he’s possessed when it comes to writing.

I’ve used a Roccat Isku FX for the past few years, after splurging on gaming gear when I went away to college. It’s still holding up great, despite a recent accident involving a bottle of glitter glue. I emailed Roccat asking for advice on removing the glitter, but in the meantime I’ve started to like it.

I checked out Sleepless Domain after seeing that Cagle was finishing up her diary-comic, Let’s Speak English. Even though I’m not into anime or manga, I really loved Cagle’s art style and sense of humor. I got through the first chapter and a half, but after the lone survivor turned out to be the least interesting…
