    In some of the game fluff fiction I wrote for project [redacted] the CO of the space ship noted than from in side the ship you could hear the missiles launching until they got far enough away that their reaction gas was no longer hitting the ship's hull. So it sounded more like cannon fire would in an atmosphere than a rocket launch would in an atmosphere. While I am not sure if the reaction gas would be strong enough to make noise hitting the ship's hull, I'm quite sure that it would while they were still in the tubes.

    Another side note about explosions in a vacuum, when the Mythbusters did their proof that a gun will fire in a vacuum, the muzzle flash was several times larger than the same gun made in standard atmospheric pressure.  Like 3 or 4 times larger. This was very obvious on the high speed camera shots. So while an in space explosion will be silent it's fireball will be much larger than the same amount of explosives would be in an atmosphere.

    The bunny girl has the same wavy hair style that the squirrel avatar has. Like I said I didn't even notice there was a difference when I first saw her. I was just like "Dan's avatar in a bunny suit" without seeing the lack of squirrel ears and tail. Also why would Dan have a random bunnygirl speak for his decision making process?

    Why wouldn't she use a bunny?

    Abs made of abs! When life gives you abs, tighten and divide them until you've got abs to spare, then burn life's house with the power of your abs! ABS!

    Fractal abs?  That might, just might get all weird and stuff.

    Huh. That could easily be Susan in 30 years.

    Base on Susan's singing at Grace's birthday party, not likely.  Hair length maybe.  Job, nope.

    Exactly how role players felt when Magic: the Gathering came out of nowhere to take over GenCon's dealers' room, and from there, the whole dang planet.

    Crack for gamers was used a lot for M:tG.  Still is by some people.

     

    Game's Workshop stuff is cocaine for gamers.  Based on price per oz it's possible that real cocaine is cheaper.

    Based on the 2015 Christmas sketchbook I still say it's a two stage product, or to use the military term a binary agent, the milk does the clothes and the tea does the FV5+.  Ellen a Nanase had the milk with out the tea, and most, if not all of the tea drinkers are taking it with milk. Susan seems to drink her coffee black.

    Well,they are still the same species, so you might say that was metamorphosis not evolution.

    You can argue like this for most pokemons. Hell, Caterpie - Metapod - Butterfree is classical example of metamorphosis. In fact, that's where the "meta" from "metapod" came from.

    He likely got the pom pom in same way Kadabra get spoon when evolving from Abra.

    If I had the faintest clue about the damn yellow mouse*  I would make a comment here.

    *A term used a lot by non Pokemon players when it was stomping all over the rest of the game world and made Hasbro buy Wizards of the Coast

    This makes me exceedingly curious. 

    Before the great crash and burn of '16 I had a habit of picking a long to ultra long thread and start at the beginning and read it to the point that normally a great wall of red text appeared killing it, or it died of natural causes.   Some threads got very ugly.

     

    The nearest thing that we have had in recent times was "is/was Ashley dumb for letting (bad) Tom fool her for a couple of months?"  Susan answered that in an awesome way and the subject was dropped.   On the one to plasma scale of flame wars it was barely "birthday candle".   Early stuff?  Right up there with your basic 210mm thermobaric weapon.1

     

     

    1Thermobaric weapon are nasty stuff.  If they go of right, they have near nuke level of localized destruction.  If they only half ass of off (which is possible, depending on several factors, like wind speed and local humidity, they are like napalm.   If they fail to go off at all, which is still possible, if the primary detonation fuse fails, they are toxic gasses.  If one gets dropped near you, your world is going to change in a bad way.  Just for what it's worth, the US Air Forces uses them, (MOAB is one) but other than they aren't really all that common is the US forces.  The Russians, on the other hand, love them and  issues them down to squad level.   This fact has lead to several changes in US Army doctrine about defensive potions.

    It got here.

    Amazon is making the bold claim that my replacement tablet and pair of memory chips will be delivered today by 20:00. CST  Their "track your package" thing even says it's on the truck.

    It's Sunday.  The apartment complex office, which is where I suspect they "deliver" to is closed.   I've got every form of notify that Amazon offers turned on about the delivery, so I can make the half mile (one way) trip as soon as Amazon thinks it's been delivered.  In the time I've been living here the only delivery truck I've seen in side the compound is DLX and I know this is going UPS.

      Color me gobsmacked. It just arrived. Granted none of the notify things have gone off, but I've got the box in my hand.

    Considering both Téa's name and profession, I'd think she's not only been doing that for a while now, but selling magical tea possibly runs in the family, the secret tea blend being passed down through the generations.

    Fam-Trad Transformation?   Or Fam-Trad-Trans to us the full Wiccan like term of art.

    Indeed it does. Photons are massless only when at rest, in which case they immediately disappear. Photons which are part of light move at speed of light and carry kinetic energy. Of course, photons with enough energy to push Vlad (who had at least 50kg, likely more) several meters would likely melt him. You need VERY reflective mirrors to get any meaningful push before they start to heat up.

    If by melt you mean "explode and cover the room with a hot red mist" you are correct.  The several megajules of energy (possibly even gigajules) dumped onto him would have flash boiled all the water in his body resulting in something that even the Mythbusters would call an explosion.  Laser weapons, even the experimental ones we have now, are not nice clean "cauterize the wound and make a little hole".   They make crap blow up.

    At first I read that as the tea being added to the Cream of Mushroom soup when making the rice....

    Yeah, should have used an Oxford comma there.  Or made it a separate sentence.  I've made rice with green tea, not bad as it happens, but not with Cream of Mushroom soup.

    Yes, Téa is a very neat name. I just want to give it a counterpart that will harmonize the name.

    I digress. How and when can we make her canon and present?

    She works at a tea shop in town.  They might "fix" the magic version and the gang start hanging out there.   Or not fix the magic version but have it as a "special".

    Are we talking proper British Tea, or British Cuisine in general?

    British Cuisine is freak awesome breakfast, fish and chips (normally awesome) for lunch and Curry or other India Food for supper, other than Sunday when you do

    a dry roast beef (vs pot roast)

    Late 20th/ early 21st Century UK has nothing to be ashamed about it's food.  Other the Marmite, of course, that's just gross.
