    You guys are reminding me why I'm a snowbird...
    (Kinda odd that snowbirds move away from snow, while snowbunnies flock to it...)

    Hm... (Note: it's been many years since I've played MtG, so I may not get all of the terminology right.)
    Distracting Squirrel. Mana cost, 2 green.
    0 damage, 1 health.
    Tap (interrupt): 1 spell fails to affect this Squirrel.
    Tap (interrupt): tap one other creature. If that creature is in combat, remove it from combat.
    2 green: this Squirrel gains +1 health (edit:) until end of turn

    Somebody needs to remind the Russian leadership that while it's ok to eat steak when there's a chicken in every pot, keep eating steak while your people have nothing and pretty soon you start to look like a chicken.

    I consume very little mainstream media, but today on the way home from shopping I turned on the radio.
    Supporters of a certain candidate (details omitted because they don't matter) compared an opposing candidate to a wolf
    I must protest.
    A wolf never tells the rabbit that the wolf is chasing them for the rabbit's own good.
    A wolf never tells the rabbit that the rabbit is better off for having been eaten.
    A wolf never tells the rabbit how much better it is to be eaten by a wolf rather than a mountain lion.
    Clearly, a wolf is morally superior to  the typical politician.

    I was wondering why you would be concerned about the weather underground, then I remembered that you are a badger.

    I was wondering how they became virginal in the first place. Then I decided they were probably baptized in extra virgin olive oil, which presumably has virginity to spare.

    I think the flaw is that any system of government involves people. Being one myself, I think I see issues with this.

    You don't need to resort to anything as primitive as a pile of dirt. There is a Swiss company that creates vehicular decoys to order. Ukraine bought dozens of them made to look like a HIMARS. So the Russians ended up expending a lot of very expensive missiles on some quite cheap decoys, which is optimal only in a universe where you can convince Putin that they were actual HIMARS. And might help explain the Russian claim that they had destroyed more HIMARS systems than Ukraine had actually received.

    ...yeah. I've done both image editing and audio editing on a slow computer with not enough memory. It sucks. When your compressed image file is four times the size of your RAM...

    Barring any last-minute major disaster today, I'm going home! I'll be headed hone sometime after this afternoon. Still lots to do, lie dealing with doubled/blurry vision. Squeal like a pig, boy.
    Ahem.
    Any case, I'm going to order lunch, see if it comes, see if SHE brings something, and take my chances. Talk to you once I get home and feel better.

    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.

    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.

    Natural disasters are particularly inconvenient for countries overwhelmed by man-made disasters.

    So what I'm reading here is that music geeks are a lot like other geeks when it comes to complaining about media.  To be honest I'm not surprised.

    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.

    A fallout of a generation that grew up with and is (overly?) comfortable with technology is an attendant cavalier attitude toward the hazards associated with said technology. I think us old timey tech aficionados have a healthy skepticism for the cutting edge claims we've heard all to often that also all to often have failed to deliver. Thus 'upgrade' does not equate to 'better' for us.

    At the rate the Russians have been digging old weapons systems out of storage, I think pretty soon they will be looking for that stuff.

    Ah. But still concerning, and I just realized that this actually makes it more convenient for foreign agents looking for chance spills of vital information. Then again I wouldn't expect them to loiter on Total War: Rome forums hoping to obtain vital information about the latest generation of onagers or siege ballistae.
