THE CHAIR!

Use of Weapons was definitely one of the best of that style I've ever read.

I could see the new enjoyers of Pern flat out giving it up when the twist happened. Plus, I wouldn't trust the show's makers to not trash the politics of the holds. ::: spoiler spoiler Fantasy -> sci-fi is a pretty big change for a tv audience, I think. :::

I'm pretty sure Tomcats showed that librarians may break skin as well.

At that point I'd say it would be easier to start a book club, and instead of following some dooha's list from up-on-high, the members just share their favorites.

Statements in civil court are admissible. He is allowed to take the 5th if it concerns criminal activity, it's just a bad thing because in civil court the worst is assumed of what was asked.

Not literally, mate. But if you can scam a grandmother out of her money by asking for itunes gift cards, you can bet she'll send an actual check.

That's the reason most books can't be adapted exactly as written. Unless the writing is so horribly stilted (X went to Y, X said Z to α, X had β happen to him because of α...) that you wouldn't want to read it in the first place, you'll need a large amount of narration and/or characters speaking their thoughts out loud, which doesn't work most of the time and gets worse if they're doing it solely for the purpose of the viewer getting into their headspace.

Ah, but those produced some hilarious records. Wasn't the record for the VW beetle something like 26 folks? I can't imagine four people in that thing, much less double digits.

I proudly wore my ripped jeans. Of course, my rips looked terrible for the style because they came from climbing over badly maintained fences and such. Oh, and one hole from a bull's horn; that one sort of sucked.

I mean, he's over 30. His knees likely light up every time he stands up.

-.- that's not a real thing. It can't be a real thing.

... okay, it's a simpson's reference. Sanity preserved

I've had next to no luck with the dating apps. I think the longest relationship I got out of them was 2 months, and the majority of conversations ended before ever meeting. The dating app world doesn't seem to accommodate my kind of person, where I want to get to know a person before we bed each other. It seemed like every match wanted to have a single date that ended in sex. Fuck that.

Ya know, I'm actually okay with that. Up to endgame it wasn't really all that much. You had Ironman x3, GoG x2, Strange x1, Thor x3, Spiderman x1 (x2 if you want to watch the one right after endgame), Captain America x3, Avengers x3, Ant-Man x2, and Black Panther, all of which set you up for endgame. Thats... a grand total of 20 movies, plus the spiderman right after endgame.

Is that a lot? Sure, 40-50 hours. But let one company have a cool, big, tied together place in movies. I liked my invincible comic read. One book, straight through from beginning to end. I also liked when I read through the Marvel Ultimate comics, with about four or five of the serials that I was reading interweaving. I can't think of any other setting that was tied together like that in movies. The closest you'd get would be the television types, with a few hundred episodes.

I'll agree that the tv show styles were too much. I personally couldn't even watch the first trial of those, the agents of shield, right? That first episode was just such terrible writing. I definitely don't want to take that 40-50 hours (over 11 years, too, so that helps) and multiply by exponential scales.

The dragging death was Jasper, Tx; somewhere around 2-3 hours south off the city of Tyler. Incidentally, it's a half hour east of the county of Tyler. Also, the rabidness which with the law enforcement and community went after the violent actors in that incident showed pretty clearly what the common man in that area thought of racism.

Sitting on the Holy Seat, informally. That's where the word cathedral comes from: the fancy seat for visiting bishops.

I'm super curious how the various governments would handle a schism. If the churches of west america decide to break away, and the churches of the east decide to break away, but neither wants to stick with the other side, and obviously all three parties want to keep the land and buildings and everything else, how would the ownership of the various properties/organizations and all the bank accounts/employer statuses be decided?

That's expected to be per year though, ain't it? Which means the air force will be about 40,000 underneath it's wanted amount? 40,000 seems like a large percentage of the ~330,000 reported as their ranks in 2021. The navy has a hair more personnel, I believe, around 350k? So 24,000 below that, not quite 10%. Those numbers probably aren't telling the full story, either. If the overall quality of the enlisted suffers, oof. Maybe those 10,000 that aren't coming in now were the smarter ones.

Strange to imagine. I think I have beef once every two weeks or so? I wonder where that puts me on the scale of beef eaters.

12 hour shifts aren't all that terrible, as long as you actually get off on time and are paid well for working the appropriate amount of time (whether that's 3/4/4/3 or 5/2/2/5, or 2/2/3/2/2/3, or any other schedule that gets you close to the standard hours per week). I've done 12s for about a decade, and haven't had any problems with it aside from occasionally running into schedule issues because it's hard to predict what day you'll be working/off without calculating which week of the pay period it is.

It all returns to how much work you have to do in those 12 hours. Having even a few minutes of downtime repeatedly throughout a shift has been going the way of the dodo, and that's going back to the original point of poor pay and fewer people to do everything needed.
