Putin.
Musk is not a sole actor; getting rid of him does not solve the problem of him nearly as well as getting rid of Putin solves Russian aggression.

The other drawback was the shorter play time of Betamax cassettes—they had only 1/2 to 2/3 of the length of VHS, which means that at high-quality speed any movie longer than 120 minutes would overrun the tape length, while VHS allowed 180 minutes at its highest-quality speed (or eight hours at low-quality speed).

Consider that absorbed ionizing radiation is measured in Sieverts, where one Sievert equals one Joule of gamma rays absorbed per kilogram of body tissue. Less than ten Sieverts is enough to kill a human. For comparison, the thermal energy in one calorie per kilogram of body tissue (i.e. the amount of energy needed to warm your body by one degree Celsius) is over four thousand Joules per kilogram. Yes, you can die from an amount of radiation that would heat your body by about a thousandth of one degree.

I think that's more of a "stop hating yourself over it" bonk.

Hope will fail in her intent. The magic will help Cinderted with the chores, but they'll use that to get more done rather than to get some time to themself or some rest.

A large segment of our society including police are hell bent on keeping that fear alive. I believe there is a fear on their side of recompense by minorities against the leash holders, per "as soon as they think that they can hurt you, they will try to remove you as a threat." What's weird is how much loyalty there is in spite of this, perhaps due to allies who see through the bullsh!t.

. . . and I'm not afraid to use it!

They had many nukes. If they no longer have them, where did they go?

The imp had an attack of three, and thus took three points of health per turn.

Well, no, that was the point of what the card does and what ijuin explained. The imp ally damages your opponent, not you. But it is a minor amount of damage, and you can't stop it. Hope can follow up with a card that triggers on attack and will consume your subsequent turns. It's all about control, not damage.

The imp is forcing Sarah into aggression—it has sealed off any possible moves by Sarah that would require her to complete a turn without making an attack (e.g. Hope could play a trap card that Sarah would have no choice but to trigger immediately).

She does at that.  The fact that she normally sleeps with me at night is an indication of that.

Although I have never comprehended how whiskey is in any way a desirable thing, I congratulate you on your purchase.

Two reasons:
First, they think that they themselves will be exempted from the persecution that they voted for, as long as they continue to demonstrate their loyalty/usefulness.
Second, they are hateful enough that they are willing to take a punch in the face as long as the people whom they hate have it even worse.

No, he is the giant boor.

The insane part isn’t his delusions—it’s how many other people believe in him.

For some reason it hit me that a good shortened form of a cop pickup would be a cockup.

Today we honor the men of Taffy 3, the Light Brigade and the men of Henry V army,

Mrs. Prof with two of our cats, Baker (sleeping) and Pretty Girl (we didn't pick the name, bugging Baker). The phone doesn't have a name.

Not annoying

Lindburg delivers for free, plus the price on lamitcal went down by 25 bucks.  Getting my drugs this time was painless.  One phone call to Lindburg and that was it.  The even have my card on file so I didn't have to dig out the card and read off numbers.  I'm gruntled by this.
