I don't miss them - or the games, or the half time show - at all.

My suspicion is that this memory either: a.) relates to the relationship between Pandora and Raven, or b.) is from two (or more) lives back

The 8 eggs seem improbable but not absurd. That's an unusual quantity of eggs to eat at one meal, but not an unusual quantity of food. And eggs are pretty easy on the stomach. -

And it's kind of in the nature of "exploratory" that you may find things you didn't anticipate. If the stuff that was supposed to be holding the patella in place wasn't actually working, but nothing had happened to cause it to be out of place when the doctors looked - then opening things up for an exploratory surgery could easily allow it to go cottywompus. -
And I'm battling with space heaters that think 60 Fahrenheit is plenty warm enough while 77 Fahrenheit is too cold.

In the context where "break a leg" is most commonly said, it doesn't appear to be customary to specify whose leg... -
Marshmallows. And long flimsy slightly-pointy sticks - too flimsy to make decent spears or stabbing weapons though.

And while those visions seem different, they are fundamentally the same: other people get to tell you what you are permitted to think, feel, and believe. -
NP Comic for Tuesday, Jul 30, 2024
Don Edwards replied to Darth Fluffy's topic in EGS: NP Discussion
This comic began on January 21, 2002 and the main-cast kids were in high school - mostly juniors, I believe. It's 22 years later. A real-world person born on Jan 1 2002 would have finished high school by now (and possibly have a bachelor's degree). The main cast in the comic, are still in high school. This is not unusual. Rain began with a 3-page prologue, then on December 1 2010 got into the story with the title character beginning her first day of senior year in a new high school (among other changes). She graduated in January 2021. -
Using them as a club, to hit someone with, seems more likely to damage the glasses than to hurt the target.

IMHO Jay is confused because she can't believe how pathetically weak, and near-useless even in its appropriate context, AJ's spell is. AJ is using magic to learn something about another player's deck, that will be pretty much equally apparent by the non-magical means of watching that player play the first 2-5 non-mana-producing cards.

First time I read that, my eye/brain somehow skipped over the middle L. Which definitely called for a second look. -
That would put the shoe on the other foot... which would be bitten off.

I know that those TV ads aren't cheap, and the money to pay for them comes from the customers who answer them.

Today, my OS won't let me create a disk partition smaller than 32 MB. The first hard drive I bought, the OS wouldn't let me create a partition larger than 32 MB. -
The way I heard it, you take the pot of boiling water out into the cornfield with you. Grab an ear of corn, peel the husk back and take the cornsilk off, then bend the stalk over so you can put the ear in the water.

It doesn't make sense to me that a tornado at the moment it becomes a waterspout would be weaker than a tornado at the moment it touches down on land (all else being equal, which of course it never is exactly). However... At any given spot on land, there is a limit to how much stuff that tornado can pick up and lift high in the air. At any given spot on a large body of water, there is functionally no such limit. That picking up, and lifting high in the air, takes energy away from the tornado itself (even as it makes the tornado more dangerous - that rapidly flying debris can hit stuff, and the higher it's lifted the further it can fly out in a random direction before landing). So, to me, it makes sense that a waterspout would lose energy faster. (I went looking for an estimate of how much the debris in a tornado can weigh - no luck.)

Can't vouch for that from personal experience, but it doesn't surprise me. Because the best way to eat peas is to pop the pod open, put it up to your mouth, and use a finger to scrape the peas out of the pod into your mouth - then pluck the pod off the vine and drop it on the ground next to the vine's roots.

Tornadoes have been seen in every state of the US. But they're significantly more common and more dangerous in some states than in others. I remember reading the newspaper reports of the first time on record that the western half of the state of Washington actually had two tornadoes on the same day. Both were category zero. One touched down in the middle of Puget Sound, sucking up a fair amount of salt water and discomfiting an unknown number of fish. The other very briefly touched down in a paddock, lifting a horse off its feet and turning the animal 180 degrees before setting it down again - but not significantly damaging the horse or the fence.

Arthur knows that Tedd is fluid, and makes a great point that, even though he doesn't understand genderfluidity, he accepts it. And that is what is truly needed. He's also aware, from previously working with Edward Verres, that Mr. Verres has a son named Tedd (with no mention of a daughter).
