  1. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    Sometimes it seems like the entirety of our Parliament here in Denmark hardly has two brain cells to rub together on a cold day but this does not seem to impede them much.
  2. Things that make you sad.

    Good Lord. I am so sorry to hear, man. My sincerest condolences. : (
  3. NP Wednesday March 28, 2018

    Yeah. Let no-one say that the government can't move slowly when it wants to.
  4. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    This happened to me once as well. Only I had them shoved up on my forehead. I spent far too long a time looking for them before it dawned on me that I was wearing them.

    Don't be so negative. Sometimes when people tell you that something you wrote sucks it isn't because they want to hurt you, it is because you wrote something that sucked. Dan was like just out of high school back then. Good Lord, when I think of some of the stuff I wrote back when I was that age... suffice it to say, it really did suck.
  6. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    As long as it isn't anything worse. I don't need my weird nightmare about dental Ebola coming alive or something.
  7. Story Friday March 30, 2018

    There is a place where good intentions traditionally tend to lead. In fact, the road there is paved with them.
  8. NP Wednesday March 28, 2018

    Crap yes. And it gets everywhere, too. This is what comes from unregulated chemicals flooding the entire planet.
  9. Story Monday March 26 2018

    Sadly, if there is one skill such creatures possess in abundance, it is sending others into harm's way while never themselves risking as much as a bruise.
  10. Story Friday March 30, 2018

    He's a writer. Writers remember criticisms and reactions to the earliest stuff they do. Particularly stuff that was on point.
  11. Story Friday March 30, 2018

    I am not sure but I think Magus had largely been keeping company with Sirleck ever since they decided to make common cause. Magus may not have been together with him all the time but I suspect he tried hard to keep an eye on his 'ally.'
  12. Things That Make You Happy

    I usually call it the "BuggerationdidwegothatfaralreadyIfeeltirednowometer."

    That nurse should not only be fired and kicked out so hard that she bounces six times after hitting the street outside, she should be barred from practicing in the medical profession.
  14. Story Friday March 30, 2018

    Damn straight. That fornicating rectal cavity has just about outstayed his welcome.
  15. Story Friday March 30, 2018

    I am afraid it will not be that easy. Magus has a good deal of confidence in his magical power and it may well be justified. If there is a fight, it won't be an easy one.
  16. NP Wednesday March 28, 2018

    Good for him. That stuff is lethal. My great-uncle died from it. Granted, that was because the ship he was aboard sank after hitting a mine, but you could with some justice call it an overdose.
  17. Story Friday March 30, 2018

    It doesn't. Magus has made this to be all about him/her, and sees Ellen as a reminder of a painful past that must be 'fixed.' Ellen isn't a separate person at all to Magus but an extension of their own self, much like a parent trying to force their child into becoming what they themselves wanted to be. This, incidentally, also explains that spar between Magus and Terra we saw way back when. Magus wanted to prove the 'objective superiority' of the male form to Terra who responded with what she thought was 'true power.' Whether that also might have anything to do with the act of sabotage aimed at Magus back then is a little hard to say, though it might be possible, of course. I just don't think Terra was behind it.
  18. This Day In History

    Take it from me, that never works. Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth probably also thought they'd be a hit with all the girls after nailing a president. It didn't work out that way.
  19. NP Wednesday March 28, 2018

    Bollocking dihydrogen oxide. It gets everywhere and no-one seems to do anything about it. Do you realise that it is so prevalent that people are actually born dependent on it? It is so addictive that you can barely go without it for a few hours before you start to notice. It's a planetary crisis and the governments don't even care.
  20. Story Monday March 26 2018

    This is true. But call me old-fashioned, when I am part of a manned expedition headed into space, I would like the calculations to be just a little more exact than that. Especially that bit at the end where you probably want to head back to the Earth without either burning to a cinder or becoming a huge impact crater somewhere. (Admittedly the odds are against that -- a huge splash is more likely by far. But even though the odds of the crater outcome are low, I am sure that those who potentially might live where the crater-to-be is about to form would appreciate more exact calculations, too.)
  21. Story Monday March 26 2018

    I suspect the mathematicians that spent decades working out the necessary formulae for actually getting your payload to where you want it to go while navigating a system with several bodies moving at different speeds and in different directions while gravitationally affecting one another might slightly disagree with that.

    It is one reason we are glad to have you around, old friend. As a god among men you are many things, but one thing you are not is a jerk.
  23. Things That Are Just Annoying

    Two potential solutions: One, take it as a hint that exercising a little is good for you. Two, get a better chair. I recommend both.

    He'll just get ticketed for illegally parking his car in orbit around Mars. Uryuom traffic cops are not people you want to mess with.
  25. Story Monday March 26 2018

    Nah, I think it was just a common naysayer. You know, the kind that insists nothing is new. Like, a space station is really just a cave someone put in orbit and the cavemen inside it wear space suits instead of fur.
