    Yeah, remember, her first reaction to seeing Elliot transform into a feminine form was to liken him to Ranma Saotome, one of her favorite manga characters, who is also a martial artist with “impossible” magical-seeming martial arts skills, whose other famous attribute is to change sex when hit by water.

    "...the shops on this side..." Am I understanding correctly? Hope is on the Griffins' side of the world?

    She said “the same building as the comic shop”, so I think she means the shops on the opposite side of the building are empty, which is why she put the entrance to her pocket space there.

    Me too. Of course Short!Nanase doesn't look all that weak, 

    It’s all relative. This version of Nanase probably has the strength of a petite girl who does martial arts but has no magical boost, so still a bit stronger than Ashley but slightly weaker than burnt-out Nanase was.

    Imagine, though, with this many-worlds theory, a world where nobody dies. In our world, out of every human that has ever lived, somewhere under 1 out of 10 are alive today - exactly how far under depends on exactly how one defines "human" and thereby which species other than H.sapiens are included. Does this "nobody" include chimpanzees, whales, cattle, ants? Could be a rather crowded world.

    I heard it was closer to one in eighteen—counting from the beginning of anatomically modern Homo Sapiens (i.e. no other hominids like Neanderthals, etc.), there have been an estimated 125-130 billion humans, and there are approximately 8 billion currently.

    Including other species in the “don’t die” list becomes problematic because of predation. What did the carnivores eat if their prey all survived? And what did the prey eat if their numbers were not culled? They would produce so many offspring that they would eat all of the plants and then starve. Come to think of it, what would 130 billion humans eat on a planet that can probably only produce enough edible vegetation for 30-40 billion with pre-industrial farming methods even if all land becomes farms and all fresh water is used to irrigate them?

    Let’s not forget that Magic Itself likes to grant stuff based on its assumptions of what best matches a person’s nature. This would imply that it assumes that people who do strength training want to be strong, and so it grants them a magic-energy-powered strength boost.

    Also, Super Magical Wizard Nanase-chan is cute and needs to be in a Sketchbook.

    Again, Pandora had numerous methods of acquiring wealth without engaging in fraud, including selling precious materials (as our invading Uruyom group has), or playing the stock market. I don’t doubt that she kept at least one alias for the purpose of having a legal identity that could own property and engage in legally-binding contracts.

    Absolutely! From what we've seen of other immortal reboots, it seems like she should be functioning as a young adult, yet she seems to be much more childlike.

    She introduced some nonstandard elements into her regeneration by trying to keep extra memories, so she may be a bit scatterbrained, as Helena and Demetrius were initially. Remember, we first saw them more than a year after their improper reset, while Hope has had only three months to recover.

    And given that Pandora was able to predict events so accurately, such as timing a week-long nap to an accuracy of 53 seconds , she could probably have made a killing on the stock market over the last few years, negating any need to get money illegitimately. Buy ten thousand Bitcoins back when they were a few cents each? Those are now worth over a hundred million dollars.

    If they need to stay above a specific site, then they can choose a synchronous orbit (assuming that the planet doesn’t have ultra-slow rotation, in which case a Milniya orbit, which spends over 75% of its time over a target site, would be preferred). Federation transporters from Kirk’s era onward are stated to have a typical range of at least 25 thousand miles (40 thousand kilometers).

    Boobs are an important part of an attractive girlish figure, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. YMMV; to me, Larry's look painful. Hopefully, the elf suit gives them some serious support. Of course almost worth it for Rich's reaction and George's amused apathy. (Is it directed to Larry, Rich, or both?)

    IMO, the “sweet spot” is somewhere around Ellen/Elliot’s default boob size, and sizes larger than that are more for the novelty value.

    I took it as an indication that she still remembers a time when candles were high-end illumination tech.  So she probably remembers quite a lot.

    Practical electric lights were only developed about 140 years ago. The typical Immortal Regeneration cycle is every “200 years and a bit”.

    There's a point when Harry Dresden goes on for a few paragraphs about how, when you really think about it, airplanes are amazing.

    A lot of things that are now common would seem magical to medieval people and would have been out of reach even to King Louis XIV despite all of his wealth and power. Keep your home cool when it is blistering hot outside? Have any food you want ready within minutes? Fly to the opposite side of the world in a single day? Pick up a hand-sized device and talk to anyone, anywhere in the world in real time?
