NP Comic for Thursday, May 15, 2025
Darth Fluffy replied to Darth Fluffy's topic in EGS: NP Discussion
It is common for Chinese, at least, to adopt Western names for their tenure here, if they are on a green card extended visit. It seems likely that the generation born here would also be named Western names, at least many of them. I deal with name space for a large customer, and can vouch that this is true. OTOH, Nanase is described as Japanese, but I believe her father has been shown to be a white guy, so Ashley being mixed is not far fetched for EGS. Tedd is also mixed race. -

Yeah; here entire backstory and current status seem to suggest she may be a capable agent in some sense, but appears to lack certain people skills and adherence to cultural norms. Which is more than can be said for some of today's leadership. -
Discussion of Military, real or fictional

I have never seen that, would like to find it. Well, something else to hunt down. Adam has many interesting after-Myth Busters YouTubes. -

Giant flying mega-Hoover vacuums up at 'least one duck' (quote from the article), which causes the engine to flame out. I'm going to guess ducks, because I don't think a single duck is enough to clog the intake enough to shut down the intake, it's pretty damn big. The duck(s) could not be reached for comment, although someone probably had to clean out some of the remnants. I tested an air to ground frequency hopping radio in an F-16, and I had to sit through a short course just to sit in the cockpit. Most of it was 'don't touch this, here in explicit detail are the bad things that will happen to you if you do' (don't ever eject from a plane that is low to the ground), but a part of the course was 'stay away from the engine intake, it can suck you in and eviscerate you - no, further back - what part of evisccerate are you failing to understand?' My favorite bird and plane story is the Brits borrowing the chicken cannon to test an windshield (which is what it is designed to do). I have visited Arnold Air Development Center; the chicken cannon was real, and since it serves a useful function, probably still is. I cannot verify the truth of the anecdote, but it seems plausible, other than I suppose it needs to be clarified that they brought their windshield to the US to test it, rather than the rather humongous chicken carcass accelerator being disassembled and shipped to Europe; I've seen one article that got this detail wrong. -

And she is entirely trustworthy. And does not mess around in her relationships. Which is what they might do if they were told from a young age they were hers . . . Canonically, in EGS, Ashley is Asian. Sarah does not appear to be Asian at all. Aside from everything else, this seems to preclude actual sisterhood, or some further explanation is warranted. Likely, it isn't a real consideration, and we are expected to ignore this, but as far as it goes, I stand by "They are not convincing (to me) as sisters." Doesn't mean I'm right, just seems jarring. -
The restaurant. The restaurant was only around for a few years after I got there, then became something else. I do not know how long it had been there, so it might have had a longer lifetime. Weirdly, it looked like a chain, but I've never seen another one. Google says there is one in Brownsville, Tx, so maybe it was? Update: The links I found for that are all from the same restaurant review site, and that site does not have links. My tentative conclusion is that the Brownsville location is also out of business.

Someone caused the aberrations, Voltaire is a good guess, so he might view other immortals who target them as a threat.

Comic for Wednesday, May 14, 2025 Edward needs his coffee. He's grouchy, and uncharacteristically off the mark on his assessment of the situation. Maybe he doesn't have much actual experience with immortals.

Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

Someone should make a Donald Trump Matryoshka doll, to illustrate how full of himself he is. -
If all of their contacts are documented in the comic, then, as far as I recall, no. Susan and Nanase in France, then lots of observation, some interactions in the magic realm with Magus, and then the mall. But didn't they reboot between France and the mall? I recall comics about them being confused.

. . . and Pandora had way more, hundreds of years, something like 3x times a normal immortal. I suppose that it is actually impressive that she held it together as well as she did. Although, if she was as prescient as she seemed, she should have seen the outcomes of her less than optimal antics. I suppose that's all of us, in some ways.

Also, if your local mall has ninjas, you might want to shop elsewhere.

I had to read that a second time, the first time a read, "/me throws stars around like a small ninja on too much espresso." Freaking squirrels!

Ooo, that works; I'm saving up for an arpegio.

I use smirk signals.

That sounds about par for a rental agent.

I think she's saying her boobs are small, in which case she should be saying, "My boobs are modest". Then again, both of the girls are short short, so maybe she's correct. It's probably just perspective, but they appear to be eye level with the other two ladies boobs. So, in the words of the late Bob Hope, I'll say, "Thanks for the mammaries . . .". (Yes, that's pretty ancient.)

"I wonder how many time I have to stare like this before the human freaks out and calls an exterminator?

Maybe the pigeon was still sleeping?

I've made gin with a deck of cards.

Comic for Monday, May 12, 2025 So immortals operate like vampires, they have to be invited in. And they are both immortal. And magical. Hmm . . .

I'm down to one 6 oz coffee in the morning, a second if I'm tired. I used to do an entire carafe, that was not healthy.

I drink coffee to excess and sometimes tea.
