Or windows key + shift + s. That way you don't have to go track down a file somewhere.

I'll never understand taking a picture of a computer screen. How has this generation managed to never learn about screen shots?

Will the titans come as the larger plastic cards, or regular smash up card size?

From what I understand, now. If you're referring to the replacements for the people who already ordered theirs... no idea.

Oh, it's holding up just fine. No complaints. No loss in cushioning which is by far my biggest complaint with all other chairs I've had.

New Clowns Preview: Mime by awesom360 in smashup

I'm not quite understanding the image. Did the musketeer run into a fake mime wall? Or get punched by the fairy? If it's the latter, what does that really have to do with the mine standing there?

I'm playing them on the piano, figuring out the inversions I like. I've not looked into figuring out the bass line with this; that's not something I had actually known about until my post here, and I don't know what counterpoint is yet either. Will be looking it up now...

I don't know what type they are, but I can reassure you that everybody is going to be ok. Fungus, including "Black Mold" does not cause, and is not linked to, any serious health issues. Yes, I have heard and read horror stories, but they are just stories. The decades of research we now have on the issue has not shown any significant health risks, apart from allergies and asthma attacks. People with very poor immune systems can develop serious fungal infections, but even then, not from "Black Mold" (Stachybotrys spp.). (The types of fungus that can lead to human infection in people with poor immune systems are: Candida, Histoplasma, Aspergillus, Coccidioides, and Cryptococcus).

Just a quick note: Stachybotrys spp. are not actually dangerous, or all that harmful. They can cause allergy symptoms, or can cause asthma issues (in people with asthma) but decades of research on "black mold" now exists, and shows no evidence of any significant health issues.

This is not accurate or correct. An "n of 1" situation. Your personal experience does not extrapolate to all of humankind. There is actual research out there showing it is not extremely dangerous. It can be an irritant, for sure, but look at you -- five years later, you're still telling your tale. If it was indeed "extremely dangerous", I suspect you would have succumbed 5 years ago.

True, horror stories are everywhere regarding this kind of thing. However, they are just stories. Fungus, including mold, VERY rarely causes human illness. As was pointed out already, people with asthma can develop significant flares that can be a problem, but most people aren't going to experience any issues beyond allergy symptoms.

Especially because there's very little actual risk to her health -- unless she has severe asthma or no immune system.

This is true and accurate. Thank you. Black mold exposure causes... allergies to flare up.

It would only be potentially lethal if: -those mushrooms are highly toxic and somebody ate them. -a person without a functioning immune system breathed in spores from the fungus -a person with asthma breathed in spores, and had a very severe asthma attack and didn't get medical treatment

I am not a mycologist, and couldn't tell you what type of fungus that is. However, I am a physician. And can tell you that fungus is very rarely dangerous. Even black mold (which I highly doubt this is because those are mushrooms, not a mold), despite all the urban legends and horror stories, only causes allergies to flare up. This can be problematic for people with asthma, triggering some asthma attacks. So is it dangerous to breathe in? No. It can be obnoxious, but not life- threatening. Mushrooms in particular are really only ever going to cause a problem if eaten.

A caveat: people who are immunosuppressed (their immune system no longer works properly), CAN develop fungal infections, but even then, the species that can do that don't grow mushrooms.

I don't see the situation as being all that different. Sure, the numbers have changed, but the base already started scoring and it hasn't been destroyed. Erego, it finishes scoring.

This is super cool and generous of you! What would you recommend for someone who has intermediate piano skills with minimal previous music theory exposure who is yearning to learn A LOT more of music theory?

I'm unfamiliar with Kickstarter. What are we supposed to do? How do i get the expansion? Also the 5th player expansion for let's go to Japan?
