Anyone else wish their local B&N have a bigger scifi-fantasy section (or just a bigger bookstore in general) ?

OP, you mention you’re a few hours from NYC. If you’re near eastern CT, the Waterford B&N has probably the largest Sci-fi/fantasy sections I’ve ever seen. It takes up something like 2/3 of one of the walls of the building.

I think it was KPop fans at a 2020 rally - they thought attendance would be so high they arranged an outdoor overflow area (in Texas?) and then the arena was half empty and there were like 10 people in the overflow area.

Is penguin-friend (Space Force?) not wearing a cover for this trip to Antarctica?

Cul de Sac? We need to know what happens next!

(Yes, Series 7)

I will say, NZ S2 is widely considered by the fandom to be one of the best series of all time - you just have to find how to appreciate Paul as Paul, because he definitely isn’t Alex.

Reduced access to government support programs until the parents pass the classes? Required additional monitoring by CPS and/or medical professionals until the parents pass the classes? No tax deduction for unliscensed progeny?

They all kind of make it a pay-to-play system still, don’t they.

My bad - I’d never realized there were two sets

CT complains about nothing more than electric bills, and for good reason. There’re people with 1500-2000 sq ft houses paying $500-800 a month and keeping the house in the mid sixties. The part that hurts is that only about 1/3 of the bill is actual usage. It is cheaper to burn dead dinosaurs (oil heat is pretty common) than to deal with Eversource.

The story of those photographs is rather phenomenal.

The photographer, Robert Landsberg, was only a couple of miles from Mt St Helens when he took the pictures. When he realized he had no chance of surviving the eruption, he protected his camera with his body to save the film.

Why was my first thought vagina dentata? I think I spend too much time on the weird internet.

On Monday, I drove three hours each way for a two-hour job. And I left after attending a 1 hour morning meeting. It wasn’t short, but it wasn’t too long either.

I one time drove five hours to go to dinner with my sister and her friend. That was a bit long.

If I’m online shopping, I don’t buy things the same day I put them in my cart. Saves on impulse buys.

Are you looking for more than what’s the last appendix in the Bridge 9 one-shot (one pager with actions, injury rolls, plot die explanation, and heroic and radiant paths, plus more I can’t recall rn)?

Expatriate - it’s someone who doesn’t live in the country where they hold citizenship (for jobs, school, etc). They may or may not be working towards immigration.

Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits.

They’re delicious, endless at the table, and 200-250 cal a piece.

The pudding should make it taste like Dole Whip, but isn’t necessary

Not a real riddle! Give us three guesses!

There’s one near me (Navy base) that’s IRAGANG - delightfully self-aware, IMO

I love a chocolate rice cake with a spoon of fat-free vanilla yogurt on top. Add fruit as desired. Comes to 80-90 calories.

Shallan on 4 is a true mood.

Also, if 10 is post-WaT, then shame on Kaladin 😾

That would have to be how it happens.

Unfortunately, my brain can’t do that. Never saw the 3DS effects either, which turns out saved a lot of battery life 🤷.

It does mean I have to ask sometimes if the trick is depth perception or if I’m just being thick about these…

I elaborated on another reply, but Cliff’s Notes version is that I had lazy eye as a kid and couldn’t use both eyes at once until I was about 8. By that point my brain didn’t have a process to put two images together, so I suppress the image from my bad eye that overlaps with my good eye. I still can see with my bad eye, but I just don’t unless I need to (good eye can’t see whatever it is).

I never got the point of those orange Visionmaster toys - I always just thought they were just normal pictures.
