Di Ku is credited with inventing several musical instruments and writing lyrics to many songs, with the music for them composed by his assistant Xianhei
-
Note that the song is NOT specifying what color the creature is. Explicitly, it's a creature that eats purple people.

Nonviolent tornadoes are pretty rare...

I've heard it described as "feels like I'm being fucked up the nose by a tree."

I wouldn't say the Libertarian Party actually supports Russia. However, I would say they are excessively isolationist. -
Care to try to prove that we all aren't figments of some author's imagination?

Post-mortem dumps (explosive devices)

It's not all that new a thing, and it isn't just dragons. I remember one series (can't recall the title, unfortunately) of at least four fantasy books. Major characters were a pair of weapon-wielders. Physical descriptions, which included what weapons they bore, were copied verbatim from the first book into each of the others. Cover art NEVER matched on the weapons, which also varied from book to book. Back-cover blurbs sometimes didn't mention the weapons, but if they did, matched neither the text nor the cover.

Depends on how accurately you want to simulate 'random'. R{n+1} = fractional portion of (pi+R{n})^x for some x>1 is good enough for a lot of casual purposes. I once read of a random-number generator that was adjudged NOT good enough for the purpose someone wanted to use it for, when it was found that graphing sets of three consecutive random numbers in three dimensions produced a set of parallel planes.

My weird brain just tried to combine that song with Hotel California. Please note, I didn't claim that the combo made any sense... -
Here's a reminder

Inbreeding combined with aggressive culling is how you improve a bloodline. Although if it's being managed by humans, there may be issues with the definition of "improve" - that's how we got dogs with such flat faces they have trouble just breathing, for example. For that matter, though, that's just a form of over-specialization. Which is what has driven multiple, independently-evolved versions of saber-tooth felines to extinction, when the environment around them changed such that their specialization wasn't helpful. (There's another try at the idea in progress. The Bornean clouded leopard. The longest fangs, relative to body size, of any known felines since the North American saber-tooths died out.) -
Prof: How to disable trackpad on Macbook (Can't vouch for it personally, but the instructions are rather similar to how to do the same thing on Linux Mint which is what I run.)

Or milk, ice cream, etc. - actual milk-based dairy. Or something greasy. Or mayonnaise. Capsaicin is a non-polar molecule, so does not dissolve in water - but it does in fats and oils. And of course something that's somewhat dry and absorbent can soak it up. (Why are eggs sometimes classed as dairy? Because, in the US, they go in the refrigerator? So does orange juice. And fish.)

I dunno, Las Cruces has its appeal. Gotta give at least a grin to a city where a major street is named Lover's Lane. (Well, literally, it's Amador Avenue.)
-
Based on what little is said, I suspect that the dog and at least one of the humans were poisoned. For one and possibly both of the humans, self-inflicted.

(That's why I picked such a distant-past example.)

Not quite. She says she doesn't trust the sincerity of such justifications. "After all, Rome would be so much better if I were emperor instead of that idiot." (And thus we get such clearly beneficial things as The Year of the Four Emperors, AD 68-69.) If a person claims motives of pure self-interest, they may not be telling the whole truth, but what they're saying is probably true.

Was this datacenter space that Microsoft was leasing to various customers, or from various providers?

If they have and use a fireplace, there's a need to clean cinders out of it.

And the swords that just snicker might damage its ego.

Sanding pine is usually a technique to make it smoother... And down here in the desert... I had to open the windows and turn on the fans before noon.

If you think about what he said, he claimed that ALL of Ukraine, and several neighboring countries, are part of Russia. His logic - if you accept the underlying premise - clearly supports the conclusion that most of western Russia and a couple neighboring countries are part of Ukraine, and several others plus another chunk of western Russia are part of Poland. -
A bunch of the kids will be heading off to college soon. Some colleges (not all) require that freshmen live in the dorms, unless their parents live in commuting distance and the kids continue living with the parents. Tedd and Grace will continue living together - whether that be at Edward's home or in their own apartment. Nanase and Ellen will start living together - in the dorms or in their own apartment. Catalina and Rhoda might or might not room together. I don't see any other romantic couples at a stage where it would be a decent idea - yet. Subject to change without notice, possibly as soon as when the next page comes out.

Um... why is this discussion in an NP thread?
