I had a friend slap a knife out of a dudes hand by accident at a gas station once. The way he tells is, he was in line to pay, guy in front of him pulled a knife on the cashier, friend made a "oh shit" noise, guy turns around, friend drops his shit and somehow simultaneously knocks the knife out of the guys hand while clumsily trying to raise his own hands in a "don't stab me" guesture. Knife dude was running for the door before the knife hit the floor.

Friend got all the praise for saving the day, but he lets us know it was all a nat 20 luck roll and divine intervention from a trickster god.

Believe it or not, things can exist independently of Marx having described them.

Apparently just the ones making the CO2. I wonder if the employees would agree.

Hydro flask sells lightweight 40oz that I've had for going on 4 years now. I've dropped it down a hill and dinged the edge, but it's the lightest insulated bottle I've ever found, and they use a vinyl wrap instead of paint. Still scratches, etc, but the bottle is great. It weighs less full than some of the more ridiculous 40oz bottle do empty.

...would you like to?

Your question was disingenuous and you know it.

That's a great take. I never considered that the ring's machinations essentially led to its own destruction.

If you're ever in Austin, Tx, there's a place called Mexta that serves them as a side. Best ones I've had outside Mexico.

Just one of the many steps along the road to perfection: counterstrike.

All games eventually evolve a counterstrike mod. It's the carcinisation of games.
