    I have to agree with her, a d1 is useless; if you need it, just add 1 to the total. If you want one, you don't need a Mobius strip. Take a blank die, put a '1' on each face. Get a ball, write some '1's on it. Mark a '1' on both sides of a coin.

    Then again, I've never been bowling, so I can't say for sure.

    I'm not a huge fan, but it should probably be experienced a few time at least in your lifetime, just for the cultural connection.

    I just heard that Akira Toriyama died last Friday, at the age of 68. For those who don't know, he was a manga writer/artist who created several popular series -- most notably Dragonball (which I was a big fan of back in the early 00s). He was also character designer for a number of video games including the Dragon Quest (AKA Dragon Warrior) series, and my favorite game, Chrono Trigger.

    I saw that. He died young.

    Per the commentary, Arthur does not know more, Jay is assuming she is being left out of the loop.

    I wonder why she's so paranoid? My initial guess is that she tried to copy Arthur and he saw it as something he could not allow, and now they are at odds.

    OTOH, she is concerned about what Susan may know about her, so maybe there's more.

     

    I fixed the second thing for you:

    Unas pocas suposiciones erróneas y una simple consulta pueden convertirse en una inquisición (apuesto a que no esperabas eso)

    The funny thing about Jay thinking Grace's extremely cheerful personality is an act is that it actually is some of the time - just not usually.

    I think Jay not being able to process someone being that open says something about her life experiences.

    Thinking back to my own college cafeteria experience, I recall substances without much flavour but very high levels of fat, sugar, and other carbohydrates.   If Nanase can use calories to power her magic, the campus meal service may be perfect for her. Provided she uses magic at least as fast as she consumes the "food".

    That sounds really unhealthy. OTOH, we have no context for how magic metabolism works. In my tentative head canon, it is based in the brain, and eating what is good for your brain should be what fuels your magic ability.

    Which makes me wonder, "Does coffee have an affect on magic ability?"

    Everybody should have cat ears. Well, except bunnies; the long ears are a distinctive part of their look and are cute (but cat ears are still cooler).

    They have better ability to sense the direction of a sound source than we do.

    Still, you have to wonder why cats never seem to hear anything you say to them.

    They do pick up the sound of a can opener really well.

    So how much do you want what you want?

    Will this be another pseudo-philosophical debate that boils down to definitions & concepts that are subjective or relative at best?

    Yes. Yes, it will. Per track record.

    Grace could be that excited about someone having a new hairstyle.  Speaking of Hope, has Grace ever met Pandora when she was awake?

    Pretty sure she has not. I only recall Sarah and Tedd, and Susan and Diane briefly in the mall, and, of course, Adrian having an actual conversation with her. Only Tedd's seemed to be really in depth. She generally leaves more questions in her wake than she answers.

    Noteworthy, she barely interacted with her own son, Adrian, when she visited him, and left him with misgivings about what she was planning.

    Several folks spoke to her in the mall when she was posing as a survey taker; I'm not counting that. Nor the brief creepy non-interactive appearances.

    Of all the characters we've seen so far, Magus seems to have had the most interaction with her, albeit in her home realm. And, we can presume that Adrian has at least a couple of decades of interacting with her as 'Mom' and centuries of knowing her and perhaps seeing her briefly.

    We have not seen even a hint that she has much concern for Noah. Maybe that is the indication that she does not, conspicuous by its absence. I wonder if it is because he is not human, but she seemed favorably disposed toward Grace.

    If I remember correctly, it takes deliberate effort for Tedd to "See" things with magic.  So that probably won't be happening.  Unless Hope does something suspicious.  Like exhibit symptoms of a panic attack in a nearly empty store . . . . 

    He has to see a spell in action to copy it. We haven't seen that he can detect innate magic. Unless he can now copy Luke's aura detection into a wand. Would be handy.

    My thought is  that a perhaps unexpected side effect of Pandora trying to retain her memories is that she feels horribly inadequate, always comparing what she is to what she was.

    This indeed makes sense. She seems to be a better person than the typical reboot we've seen for having retained memories, less callous.

    It was released when I was a kid; I saw it shortly after it came out on video. I really enjoyed it, though I did like Star Wars better (if only because as a kid I always preferred things I thought were serious over comedies). I think I actually like it less now that I get all the adult jokes in it.

    I like Galaxy Quest, which is more of a Star Trek spoof, better. Its humor is more on an adult level.

    Comic for Monday, Feb 12, 2024

    So not really an explanation why, but some confirmation that Hope is indeed shy about her new circumstances.

    Since Grace is an employee, and the store tends to need more staff during tournaments, this seems like a particularly bad plan.

    Note that in the commentary, Hope's room is 'magic'. I seems like it is isolated from the surrounding world, only connected by the magic entrance, so seemingly (more so than before) an extra-dimensional space, aka pocket dimension. That begs several questions; "Does Hope need to breathe air?", "If so, how does the room maintain oxygen level?", "Can her friends visit?" (I imagine so, if she clues them in and perhaps makes an exception to wards for them), "How does it maintain a livable temperature?" - You'd expect being extra-dimensional to be like a super efficient thermos bottle, and her body heat would build up. Possibly, it bleeds heat like crazy and should be freezing, although temperature in space can be weird, not a lot of heat content even though the temperature is extreme, so hanging in nothing might be similar. Or it could all be mitigated by whatever forced air flow is happening.

    There was a recent successful probe into the sun's outer corona. The temperature is millions of degrees, but it is near vacuum. The probe survived, collected data, and reported back.

    It depends on the purpose. Casual storage, such as copying your vacation photos, needs to be easily written using consumer-grade equipment. On the other hand, doom-proofing the history and culture of your civilization so that people thousands of years later will be able to read it, can be done using more difficult and durable methods, e.g. the aforementioned analog records formed out of solid metal.

    Petroglyphs work well, but the data density is atrocious.
