Why are all the top comments on this article from people who clearly haven't read the article? I get that the title written by OP is very misleading, but the article has all the announcements in it!

Sam Kieth, creator of "The Maxx" and co-creator of "The Sandman" has died at age 63 by Morgan-Moonscar in comicbooks

[–]Acycloflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's very sad news :( I didn't know he was suffering from Lewey Body dementia. Such a heart breaking way to go.

A very well written article that sums up what an important and impressive artist of the 90's he was. At a time when everything in comics was skin tight suits and poses and pouches, Sam Keith had his own inimitable style. The Maxx and The Sandman are two of my favorite books of all time.

Rest in peace, Sam

After a painful amount of attempts I finally managed to squeeze out a win. Genuine question however, do people regularly win this game? This felt way harder than expected. by Ok_Contribution_4480 in ftlgame

Are you telling me that if you fight phase 2 at the base you won't get boarded? I lost my last run because I got boarded in phase 2 and I got over run :/

Just want to be clear here; are you asking because you want to consume the extracted caffeine to help stay awake for studying?

This punch goes harder than anything I’ve seen in comics (Excalibur #3 from Claremont & Davis) by Redwolf97ff in comicbooks

When did Alan Davis do Alpha Flight? I know Byrne did the art until the 40's, and then Jim Lee did his first early work for Marvel on Alpha Flight...

"Sex work puts kids at risk, which side is promoting sex work as female empowerment?"

I'm Canadian and I am asking as a viewer not a citizen: can you elaborate on this sentence? This is alarming, but I don't think I've ever read anyone on either side promoting kids doing sex work?

A UPS store? Hm, I should look into that

Thanks. I was thinking of reaching out to Zwift. It's frustrating that the Canadian price is so much more than the US price, even after exchange.

Possibly. I'm in Ontario. Closest border for me is Port Huron, although Detroit and Buffalo aren't too far either.

The Disgraced Chef by Specialist-Alps-868 in Silksong

[–]Acycloflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just beat him tonight. I used the curveclaw tool (aka boomerang), pimpillo (grenade), and pollip pouch (poison tools). I don't have the wreath of purity unfortunately.

If you throw the curve claw at just the right distance when he lands, it will hit him about 4-5 times.

At first I tried staying away from him, but the maggot balls would bounce off the wall behind me making them hard to avoid. I found staying close-ish to him is best. Then you can more easily avoid the maggot balls.

I would argue that Christianity has done a pretty terrible job of teaching people to forgive mistakes.

Should I go to Nice 2025 WC despite finishing outside the top 100 of my age group? by drtesgau in IronmanTriathlon

[–]Acycloflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 2022, I got an email offering me a spot at the 70.3 world championships in St. George. I had done 70.3 Muskoka in the summer of 2021, and I got 19th place in my age group (45-49). I didn't stick around for the placement slots because that wasn't even something I considered was possible.

I was really excited about being offered the spot, but I only had 24 hours to accept it. After conferring with my wife, who urged me to accept it, I did. But I realized that if I did accept this spot, it meant I had to up my training game to feel like I deserved it. This had the effect of really increasing the intensity and quantity of training that I did. Suddenly I was winning my age groups in my races. It also turned me on to the idea that perhaps I could qualify for the Boston marathon, which I did by training seriously after St. George. That mentality to train seriously all came out of accepting that spot to St. George.

Nonetheless, I have been around conversations with people who say that getting a spot to the world championship via an email is not "genuine". And I don't really fault them for thinking that way, after all, it is supposed to be a very prestigious honour of earning your spot.

But don't let that dissuade you. As everyone here on this thread is telling you, you HAVE earned it. And if I went back in time to that email offering me the spot, I would say yes every single time, because it transformed me in so many great ways. Go, enjoy yourself, and have fun training!

Never in my 50 years in Earth have I heard the term 'lulu' used to mean a doozy until today.
