No. This is certainly Rhoda. Susan wouldn't smirk like this even if looking at Elliot. Also, Susan and earrings?
... right. She might not be entirely honest when saying she barely cares.
As I said, anxieties are not logical, yes.
My whole point was that it's hard to say. In fact, Susan herself might not know until it happens ... hence the need for experiments. Though experiments, at least.
Right. Got that backward. And I said almost identical and most obvious difference is from the growth spurt and hair color Susan get when awakening.
I didn't said she wouldn't. Even if she would consider it risky, the temptation would be too much.

I *try* to arrange for that to happen, so we only need to make one trip to the pharmacy.
Meanwhile, my mate likes to only get one refill at a time, so it doesn't seem like we're spending so much money... even when the pharmacy is an hour away (which currently works out to costing about $20 per trip in gasoline - another reason to get as much done in one trip as we can manage).

Crossing some of the nastier possibilities off the list may not be very satisfying emotionally, but it's better than confirming they are true.

Sometimes gravity really sucks.
Whatever happens, I hope it isn't overly drawn-out or painful.

It's the MessagEase keyboard. Available free from Google Play, and (I think) from the Apple Store.
The two most essential things to know about the MessagEase keyboard:
1) It WILL take some getting used to, but once you deal with a bit of a learning curve it's fast and easy.
2) Press-and-hold the Hand key to get to the help and configuration screens.

 
And this discussion has entered freefall

 
It's a matter of personal taste.
Understand that from the plant's point of view, the purpose of capsaicin, piperine, or allyl isothiocyanate (the "hot" components of peppers, peppercorns, and radishes*, respectively) is to make the various fruits undesirable to non-preferred consumers. Which, for capsaicin and piperine, are mammals. (Radishes, there are no preferred consumers - they hate everybody. But then, the allegedly-edible part of a radish is a root, not a fruit.) The seeds have a very low survival rate when they are chewed on by mammalian grinding teeth and then pass through a mammalian herbivore's digestive tract. Fruit-eating birds, on the other hand, will mostly pass the seeds through unharmed and then deposit them - possibly far away - in a nice little dollop of fertilizer.
* A whole radish doesn't actually contain any allyl isothiocyanate. It contains two other chemicals** kept in separate compartments in each cell. When the radish is cut, crushed, ground, chewed, or otherwise damaged, this separation breaks down and the two chemicals react with each other to produce the spicy chemical.
** Yes, chemicals. I know it's a bad word in some circles, and you should never eat anything with chemicals in it. But the only thing chemical-free is hard vacuum. Like maybe you might find in the void between galactic superclusters, and I wouldn't bet overly strongly on even that. Oh, also, every living organism on this planet is the result of 2-4 billion years of random genetic modification of at least four different causes - radiation, chemicals, viruses, and sexual reproduction - so the only non-GMO food is salt.

HA!!! Suck it, Quetzalcouatl! /flex

Yes. Plasma. Exactly. And in quantity. Plus, with control. (The finger writes upon the wall, and, having writ, blows something up as an encore.)
The laws of physics aren't polite suggestions, they're vague hints.

I'd go for the plant. The one in Wapsi Square is vicious in melee, can make things just disappear, and her ranged attack is seriously explosive.

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in...
(edit: for the kids' benefit and edjumacation...)

Blu-Ray is definitively technically better than DVD, which in turn is better than CD. But they did not sacrifice marketability to get that technical quality, and for that matter while each generation of the media required new players, said new players were backward-compatible with old media.
For that matter, most Blu-Ray media devices can play stuff recorded on CD or DVD in the (different) computer formats, while most CD and DVD media devices can't. So Blu-Ray is effectively more compatible with the older formats than the older formats are.
By the way, the people in Japan who developed the CD format learned a lesson from the VHS/Beta conflict. They picked the longest popular-in-Japan piece of music (Beethoven's 5th or 9th symphony, if I remember correctly), and said "capacity MUST be high enough that THAT fits on one disk, or we don't go to market!". Thus, the standard capacity of a music CD is 64 minutes.

There's this one story I'm reading where the egotistical multi-billionaire recognized his own weaknesses and deliberately hired a "no-man".

King George, he had a date
He was out very late
He was the King.
Queen Mary paced the floor
King George came in at four
She me-et hi-im at the door
God Save The King!

I believe that's part of the intent.

I am so ready for Dan to move on to the next thing...

Considering how tiny Buffalo Wings are, it's unsurprising that flying buffalo are virtually extinct.

Yeah. For something like a magical golem, without any knowledge of how to build one I'd consider dismembering a good start, followed by sequestering the parts in separate sealed containers.
Maybe later I'd encounter someone with sufficient knowledge to tell me that such measure are unnecessary... but better unnecessary and done, than necessary and not-done.

Abraham had already been persuaded to not kill Ellen, was surrounded by mages capable of dealing with him, and was submitting to arrest - and thus was no longer an enemy - when Magus declined to assist in killing him.
The golem was apparently incapable of continuing to fight, but that might have been a temporary condition. Never turn your back on a dead enemy, unless you've made sure it's really dead.

I'm stalking you with obvious intent to kill you, and have made several indisputable attempts to do so, in a situation where you cannot escape to safety. (Maybe we're way out in the desert on a hot day, and the only water bottle and the keys to the only vehicle in the area are on my person. If you just run away, and manage to elude my pursuit, you die of dehydration and/or heat exhaustion.)
Yep, you're justified in killing me from ambush.
 
Aside:
Let's see, yeah, call our hotline... we can't be bothered stating the number... now for the weather...
Do ya really think they care who killed this guy?
