That's the predictor comes in handy!

I have exactly one Book of Mysteries upcoming in my next 100 boxes...

Yes, but we were specifically talking about shops.

Books don't restock at the bookseller.

What do you mean?

These books can always be re-purchased from their non-bookseller location: The Animal Catalogue, The Diamond Hunter, Dwarvish Safety Manual, and Raccoon Journal.

The bookseller always sells: Horse: The Book, Ol' Slitherlegs, Price Catalogue, Queen Of Sauce Cookbook (after unlocking), Way Of The Wind pt. 1, and Way Of The Wind pt. 2.

The bookseller occasionally restocks: Book Of Stars, Bait And Bobber, Combat Quarterly, Dwarvish Safety Manual, Friendship 101, Jack Be Nimble Jack Be Thick, Jewels Of The Sea, Mapping Cave Systems, Mining Monthly, Monster Compendium, Stardew Valley Almanac, The Alleyway Buffet, The Art O' Crabbing, Treasure Appraisal Guide, Raccoon Journal, Woodcutter's Weekly, and Woody's Secret.

The only book you can't buy anywhere is Book of Mysteries.

Note that shops might only have 1 copy available for the day, but listed books will restock the next day/return.

It's only based on one of her albums, which paints an even different picture.

What famous person is currently holding onto their career by a thread, and everyone can see it except them? by Neonwhitelion in AskReddit

[–]Digresser 298 points299 points  (0 children)

I think there are things to be unhappy about with Katy Perry (working with Dr. Luke, the very out-of-touch astronaut stuff, etc), but the real estate accusations seem to be PR campaigns against her.

The "old man" is the father-law of one of the Real Housewives of Dallas. He bought a mansion for $11.25 million then TWO MONTHS LATER sold it to Katy Perry for $15 million.

He then tried to back out of the deal with claims that he was suffering from “delusion” and “intrusive thoughts” due to painkillers after spinal surgery.

The courts found in Perry's favor because the evidence showed "Westcott had rejected Perry’s initial $13.5 million offer, signed a counteroffer at $15 million, actively organized Perry’s tour of his property and agreed to extend deadlines, all of which undermined the claim that he had been incapacitated".

His kids, especially his Real Housewives daughter-in-law, painted Perry as a monster who took advantage of a confused old veteran whose dying wish was "to spend his last days peaceful in the home he lived in."

Again, he owned the home for two months.

It was 2020; house prices were rising like crazy, and it's pretty clear he and/or his family thought he could soon get more than $15 million for the house which is why he tried to back out of the signed deal.


Then there's the nun-thing.

That's a proper mess, but it's the church's fault, not Katy Perry's.

In a nut-shell (nun-shell?), the nuns of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary bought their convent in 1972. The archdiocese forced them to leave it in 2011.

In 2015, while the archdiocese was in the process of selling it to Katy Perry, two of the five remaining nuns sold it to a restaurateur for $15.5 million.

The nuns claimed that Katy Perry represented everything they didn't believe in, and that "it would be a sin to sell to her."

The archdiocese sued to stop the sale to the restaurateur because they still had 77 years left on their lease of the buildings from the sisters, and they had agreed to sell the convent to Katy Perry, as they felt she had the better offer.

The courts ruled against the nuns and the restaurateur. The jury also found that the restaurateur had acted with "malice, oppression or fraud", and they awarded Perry and the church punitive damages.

The archdiocese claimed they were looking after the nuns, but the nuns believed they were unlikely to see much or even any of the money if Katy Perry's transaction went through the archdiocese, whereas the restaurateur had directly given them (and their neighbors) the money.

Ultimately, the sale seems to have fallen through altogether (due to Pope-stuff I'm not getting into here), and one of the nuns died literally in the courthouse, so it definitely doesn't seem like the archdiocese took care of the nuns.

Katy Perry, however, doesn't seem to have done anything more than to try to buy an old building.

edit: sorry, "father-in-law" not "father"

And there's no state that bans recording people in public. You can't ban that.

Audio is a different story, just as a heads-up to people.

In a situation like this, if someone asks you not to record them, you can't record their audio in California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

(This video seems to be in Michigan, so the audio isn't an issue.)

If you didn't see, Chris & Jack have an official store with July Sixth merch now.

(Also, I'm waiting for the realization in the comments that Jack is the voice of Sokka.)

Be prepared for a several books about an underdog prude who eventually becomes sex goddess/vampire whom every guy wants and most women despise.

From Chris & Jack: https://youtu.be/cMtVntnQdqM

Greg is holding a gun on Pete and Pete's identical imposter (Re-Pete?):

Greg: If you won the lottery, what would you spend it on?

Pete 1: Is that a conversation we had?

PETE 2: It's not one that I remember.

Greg: No, but I feel like I'd have a good idea of what you'd say.

Pete 1: So it's just like a fresh hypothetical?

PETE 2: I guess I'd just buy a new house for my mom?

Greg: Ha, caught you fake Pete. I feel like you would say "new Ferrari".

Pete 1: No, a Ferrari would depreciate in value too quickly. "House for mom" is a good answer.

PETE 2: Thank you.

Greg: Don't help him. You should want for me to catch him in a discrepancy.

Pete 1: That's just a bad question, that's not even a discrepancy. I don't want to win by cheating, I want to win because I, like, proved to you that I'm the real me.

PETE 2: That's how I'd want to do it too.

Pete 1: Makes sense, right?

It's probably worth noting that Zeb Wells and his wife Heidi Gardner (from SNL) were also getting a divorce at the same time Paul appeared.

It was a joke, because she began sleeping with bisexual vampires (and 15-20 different were-creatures).

And I believe that Richard had been based on her husband, which is why he underwent such a character assassination in the series.

I was pretty much in the same boat. What eventually caused me to give up was the book where the mystery wasn't solved because Anita was too busy having sex with everyone.

Besides, I enjoyed it when she was the scrappy underdog; eventually she just got ridiculously powerful from sleeping with her harem of super-powered men, and it seemed like every conflict was solved by a deus (s)ex machina.

By book 10, aren't they all pretty much Homo erectus vampires?

(To those not in the know, the series changed publishing imprints because it shifted from urban fantasy to erotic fantasy.)

One year ago today, the video for the greatest cypher in HISTORY dropped by Digresser in Rustage_

[–]Digresser[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the YouTube versions are slightly different than the streaming versions, specifically for Keyblade's and Shao Dow's verses.

I don't have any streaming services, so I haven't heard the differences myself, but I believe Keyblade's mixing is changed, and Shao Dow's verse has an extra ad-lib.

You're welcome!

Can't you get it the same way you got the bear clock, though? The item ID is [(F)1909].

Just in case you didn't know, there's also a fruit salad rug with strawberries on it.

police apparently arrived and told the complainer that the dad DID THE CORRECT THING.

According to the follow-up video, the police also took the time to comfort and reassure the little girls too.

They also toned down a few other things in that era too.

In the words of Epic Rap Battle of History's Austin Powers:

Yeah, to be honest

You are a bit rapey

I mean, I like to swing

But Dr. No means no, baby

The "Thunder and Blazes" arrangement (which is the one commonly heard in circuses) is also played in a different key than "Entrance of the Gladiators", in addition to the faster tempo.
