The Old Hack

Smart move.

The Six Million Dollars Sarah. Will she become a super powerful cyborg next?

It will get worse if you read even as far as the headline.

I think Samsung blew that one, too. At any rate it cost them a lot of money so it comes out to about the same.

For a given value of 'safe'. You still have to be careful with how you store the damn things or you might get your fingers burnt. I'm looking at you, Samsung.

I popped into my PANTARDIS to find out who ruled Denmark at the time. Turns out it was me. I arrived just before the coronation and accidentally squashed the about-to-be-King flat. Seems like nobody liked the guy that much anyway so they drafted me as a replacement. That turned into a big mess and it took me months before I could find a better replacement so I could make my escape.

It hardly matters if he uses the correct term or not. Tedd transforms due to being genderfluid. Edward believes the transformations are somehow potentially harmful to Tedd. Thus his attitude is fueled by Tedd's gender fluidity. It is entirely irrelevant whether either he or Tedd uses the correct term in this case.

Anyway they couldn't. In a fit of overconfidence Hitler played on Hardcore mode.

Big talk from the Pharaoh who hasn't presided over an improvement in mummification for the last two thousand years.

It is almost as if the label attached to a person can't be relied on to accurately define them.

Errr... that is what 'ignition' means.

I did say 'may at some point.' I do not propose closing down coal just yet! Though I would certainly not be unhappy to see coal replaced with nuclear power plants, ideally molten salt reactors based on thorium. Or possibly fusion power once they finally manage to achieve ignition.

Don't laugh. It is not as uncommon as you seem to think.

This may actually happen to coal before too long. Solar power has reached the point where it is significantly cheaper than power from coal plants, for example. The demand for coal is dropping and it may at some point simply no longer be financially feasible to mine and use at which point it will die out on its own.

They don't make presidents like that anymore. I am not completely certain whether this is a good thing or not. It was a spontaneous thing because they were tired of sitting indoors and melting in the heat. When they started playing people stopped to listen. More and more people drifted in; very few left. Eventually the streets around Apple Records became completely clogged up and at that point police officers asked the Beatles to please stop because they were paralysing the whole neighbourhood.

I can't offhand think of any story universe containing magic where this isn't a thing save possibly the Xanth stories by Piers Anthony. Of course, in some universes this is more true than others.

I am not a statistical universe. It is indeed possible that what I have encountered largely consists of aggressive outliers. Unfortunately this is mostly what I have encountered and I fear it has had a fraying effect on my temper. Thank you. It is rather late for me so I will look this over and address it later. I understand. And I similarly will not argue against your reasoning here; it is an equally valid concern even if I do not share it. Once again I am not going to argue this. I well remember the argument about the rainforests being the 'lungs of the world' and that their destruction might mean us all choking to death as oxygen levels dropped. This argument was proven false because the rainforests neither added to nor subtracted from global oxygen in any meaningful way. I still consider the loss of rainforests and the many species dwelling in them to be tragic but that does not justify making up bad science in order to protect them. Similarly, the anti-nuclear movement. It was well intended but its success meant continued reliance on coal and other fossil fuels, power sources known to create vast pollution problems of their own. Nuclear waste is still a problem but it would be less of one if one built the safer and more reliable MSR reactors using thorium as fuel. Such reactors existed even in the 60s but were rejected by various governments because they did not yield the weaponizable forms of uranium and plutonium needed for nuclear devices. I suspect we will have to agree to disagree. We clearly see this from very different angles. I do however apologise for allowing my anger and frustration to spill into my original post on this topic; I am honestly sorry about that.

I dislike the notion that she doesn't take it seriously. I personally think that she does and that this is precisely why she has refused to practice magic. She either fears or distrusts magic so strongly that she has refused to take it up, and she does not strike me as a very fearful woman. Any of these, with the added possibility that he is withholding himself from interfering with Nanase because of his feelings of guilt over what happened when he tutored Edward Verres and Noriko.

I seem to remember once reading that one reason Mrs. Kitsune resents her sister is that she left her husband and child. I suspect she feels very protective of her nephew even as she is being standoffish to her brother-in-law.

I do not think you have to worry. Somehow it does not seem like a very likely outcome. That works, too.

I would rather style that heterophobia. If males stuck with males and women with women Mrs. Pompoms would no doubt be quite content with the outcome.

You are just sore because Hemon didn't include your hippo ride and your hydraulic roller coaster ideas when he drew the plans for the Khufu Pyramid.

Oh, I see! I apologise if I came across as nitpicking.

Interesting! Thank you.
