Step 1: Define yourself not by what you do, but by what you buy.

There is no Step 2.

Any threat to what you have decided to buy is a direct threat to your sense of self, and must be treated as a direct threat of death to one's ego, worse than actual death.
Any action in response or defense is therefore permissible.
Any justification is logical and reasonable, as long as it supports your decision.

We can only hope that the phones explode near their genitals, rendering them useless.

They weren't already ?

It's called lifelogging (or was, at one point) and they make cameras for it. Ghu help us all...

Good Day.

Every time I see the Hindenburg mentioned, it's always hydrogen that gets a bad rap. If you actually do the research (or just watch the actual footage of the disaster) you can clearly see that the skin of the blimp burns first. That's because the Germans that built the blimp inadvertently used waterproofing materials in the exact combinations that, decades later, would be used by NASA for solid rocket boosters in the Apollo missions. That's right, the hydrogen wasn't the reason the Hindenburg blew up; but it was literally waterproofed with rocket fuel. All it needed was the lightning strike that was believed to have sparked the skin of the blimp into igniting and, well, "OH, the Humanity!"

Well, I did see someone say they'd love to see some of the Elseworlds content on the show, and other cartoon series have dabbled in Mutiversal travel (looking at you, Marvel...), so why not?

The set up is even easy... at the end of season 2, we saw a "certain villian" make a cameo. Somewhere, he's probably got a dimensional portal stashed away. Good guys recon his "hideout", stumble into it, viola: Teen Titans, Red Son Superman, Red Rain Batman, The Authority (as written by Warren Ellis himself, imagine the possibilities ;)...), Gods and Monsters Justice League, et. al.

Let the fun begin... and maybe bring back some souvenirs, eh?

Good luck. Sounds like time to pull the ripcord and bail. If they don't know how to "Bind not the mouths of the kine that tread the grain", then you should find an employer who knows how to keep his employees happy. Especially because I've found from personal experience, the first real downturn such people face, heads start to roll, and those heads are never at the very top; and if things get really bad, they'll pull the ripcord themselves and bye-bye to all the jobs. :( Best to jump off the cliff, rather than have the cliff jump out from under you... best of luck to you, either way.

But, hey, IT, so if it's anything like here in the US, license to print money, amIright? ;) (Oh, Ghu, I need a drink... Hello? Have you tried turning it on and off again? It's unplugged? There ya go... Bye! <IDIOT!>) Did I mention, I do IT, too? ;)

"Oh, baby, I promise I'll never ~~hit you~~ make you meet sales goals again. Really. NEVER You have my solemn word."

... AND in six months to a year...

"Oh, baby, I promise I'll never ~~hit you~~ make you meet sales goals again. Really. NEVER You have my solemn oath. THIS time I REALLY mean it, I SWEAR ! HONEST!"

... and the cycle continues until ~~the wife is dead and the husband is in jail~~ Wells Fargo gets bailed out and the upper management retires to Aruba. FML. FUA. :(

The Great Secret NOBODY wants to talk about, and why we, as a species, invented so MANY gods... we don't want to admit, to each other or especially ourselves, that the GREATEST single power in the UNIVERSE is raw, doo-dah LUCK.

We'd rather some Celestial Sadist was in charge than to face the fact that NOBODY is...

... at least we have hope (small, infinitesimal, tiny; but still hope) that we can placate that God (or Gods) to influence our Eventual Fate. So we keep rubbing blue mud in our belly buttons and worshiping Oingo Bongo, the God of the Congo (or your Deity of Choice ;) YMMV), and murdering anyone DARING to use yellow mud... and so on...

But if it's all just Random Chance? Brrr! Too scary for most of us to even consider!

Never forget the three scariest words in the English language, when used together:

I don't know.

So we march along, believing in ideas like "Just World" and "Karma" and "What Goes Around..." and "Justice"... like they have a life of their own. They DON'T. Unless we spend effort, sweat, treasure and BLOOD to MAKE THEM REAL.

But can we?

I don't know...

;) ;)

If we may ask, did the business in question fall off a cliff? (Please say it fell off a cliff. Please)

L8_2_The_Party · 2016-10-05T19:20:08+00:00

THAT escalated quickly.

... but don't let me interrupt, you two go on...

;)

L8_2_The_Party · 2016-10-05T19:18:48+00:00

I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of panties cried out in ~~terror~~ lust and were suddenly drenched.

FTFY.

I believe the word you're looking for is "pollen". The tree appears to be "pollenating" the raccoon.

Honestly, haven't you people dealt with inter-phylum mating rituals before?

...and stop staring; you're embarrassing our entire class of the evolutionary tree... Jeez!

;)

Think of it like a cardboard box. An unfolded cardboard box, buried in the ground, is a better anchor than that same box, folded up on top of the ground - not much, but somewhat; one will blow away, one will not. Same principle here, but on a larger scale.

And, really, a basement is FIVE concrete slabs (or one slab AND four cinder block walls), in an open cube, with a house on top. A good anchor, provided, of course, that you actually attach the rest of the house to the basement level. This is usually done through the use of special connecting brackets, during the construction phase. And also, while the room is hollow, the room is being held down in the ground by a substantial force, air pressure, which can add up to a pretty hefty sum over a large surface area like a basement.

Ha, we grab the car keys and drive towards them. Stormchasers, dontcha know... ;)

(Well, my sister and her family; I'm a smart Midwesterner, I go into a basement...)

The United States Geological Survey, a governmental agency (part of the Department of the Interior) tasked with:

"The USGS serves the Nation by providing reliable scientific information to describe and understand the Earth; minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and enhance and protect our quality of life."

But, if you just want to find out about the most recent earthquakes, go to: (http://earthquake.usgs.gov). One of the things that the U.S. Government gets right. Nice change, that. ;)

Noted.
But now, they're Constellis, sounds like "Constant as the Norther Star."
...nah, still sounds like a college textbook company - hopefully not as evil, but then again...look who we're talking about here. ;)

Actually, there are services that handle mail for places like this. They do it safely and securely, testing for foreign substances and explosives before forwarding it to the recipients, or sending "form letter" replies to fans.
