My second order from Teavivre has just today arrived stateside, in Chicago! @CritterKeeper, you think you can grab a cattle prod and hurry 'em up there?

The Moderator: I cannot speak for others here but personally I have followed politics, voted in every election I could, fulfilled my societal duties and served in the armed forces of my homeland. People fondly imagine freedom of speech as a divinely granted gift. It is not. It was purchased by our ancestors at a high cost in blood, toil, sweat and tears, and maintained by the efforts of their descendants -- now including me. I am well aware of the debt I owe to not only my ancestors but also to those who will follow me and thus I gladly pay that price. There is no right to bear arms in my homeland. I do not wish to argue the merits of something born from a culture considerably different from mine. Nonetheless, I feel comfortable saying that it is necessary to make an effort to sustain any rights, even those enshrined in law, as they may all too easily wither and die if they are not fought for. Thus, one does indeed earn one's rights -- by guarding the freedoms we have inherited and working to better the injustices that still haunt us.

It works perfectly as far as I can tell. It is not about change blindness. The joke is that someone is bound to notice something strange... and yes, they have. Many times before.

I think I'm hitting a physical tolerance with my hydrocodone. I had a moment after waking up that was reminiscent of the time before I was on the medicine, when everything from my back down my right side hurt intensely. I checked the clock, and sure enough—it was dose time. I may have to report this to my pain management doctor, but I don't know what he'll do. Probably drug test me (I'm in the clear there), but I don't know what else. Kinda worries me.
