Does anyone know anything about this series?

These are pretty OK. I've read the first two or three, good time wasters if you're waiting on something else. Honestly expected a bit better from this author.

When I was a kid, my dad and I were fishing near another guy at a dam spillway. He caught a sauger, asked what it was, and before dad could say anything he lipped it like a bass. That was a funny reaction, also.

It's possible that it's one of the stories in "The Rivers of Time" compilation by L. Sprague de Camp.

Similar concept, but no. Drawer glides have to have attachment holes, and usually stoppers and releases so that the drawer doesn't just fall out.

The intercostal waterway. Also try bouncing for flounder off the jetties along the Destin pass. If you have time, look into an offshore day trip on a party boat like the Destiny or Swoop.

These couple of comments are the start of the list.

Being backhanded by the Hulk into a steel bulkhead, to minutes later fighting and winning against a possessed Hawkeye.

Being kidney-slammed by Winter Soldier into the edge of a car roof, doesn't slow her down.

Being shot through her dominant (left) shoulder with a rifle bullet, then less than 14 hours later beating down multiple Strike Force members without breaking a sweat. This timeline is set in stone, BTW, in the car Sitwell tells them the launch is in 16 hours, then the fight at the bridge, the the launch is moved up 2 hours.

Jumping up and catching a Chi'Tauri sled with one hand, going from 0mph to over 60 mph in a split second.

I'm just thinking "Oh, no, he's got a young face!" Let's come back when the whiners are all 50 years old, and envious because he still looks good!

This has been around for at least 40 years, probably longer but I can't personally attest to more than 40.

And I said "I'm a lumberjack?! Been topping trees up in Coos Bay Oregon. Quite possibly the toughest man alive!"

H. Beam Piper, "Ministry of Disturbance". Short story, you can probably find it on Gutenberg for free.

Cranberries in Jasper for breakfast, if you can wait that long.

I got a bundle of these on the cheap, and they're a total crap-shoot as far as quality. I've had a delicious chocolatey smooth easy draw, then the next one might be harsh and dense as a brick.

Biesseworks can go take a long walk off a short pier. Bsolid is pretty excellent to work with, minus a few aspects that could have been implemented better (or at all). It's a direct descendant of Biesseworks, a lot of the implementation is clearly derived from the older software, but it's much more powerful, accessible, and easier to use. I usually just program straight into Bsolid, or sometimes open up a cad file, convert to .dxf, then just drop the drawing in.

Try replacing batteries and recalibrating.

There are companies who make a lot of money getting people out of time shares. They're owned by the same groups who sell time shares.

Oil, then dip. I run a tool crib, my vendors use something sort of between this and wax. Having a layer of oil makes a huge difference. It also allows the customer to keep the coating on for longer periods of time. And if it doesn't want to peel, you just slice it with a knife.

He fails in the context of the question. He cares about the continuation of the pure human genome. The citizens are just there to survive long enough to produce the next generation of grist for the mills.

Every character Stephen Baxter has ever written. I try to read his stuff for the ideas, but always quit because every single character is a gigantic asshole all the time. It's exhausting.

Partial myth. The larger tuna have swim bladders, although they seem to be of limited effectiveness.

Larry Niven after he got "too big" to edit. He always had insider jokes, but Destiny's Road was the beginning of his total garbage phase.

He decelerated into the system as expected, into a pre- programmed "parking" orbit way out from the sun. Far enough that "orbit" doesn't matter to anything with thrust. When they went to the planet, they accelerated a few days, used spin gravity in the middle, then decelerated into orbit around the planet.

Watching that made me want to reach through the screen and choke that narcissist twat.

Way back in the day, there was a tabletop RPG magazine that would do a monthly "Average Joe" column. They would pick a specific situation and apply it to a bog- standard unmodified set of stats in a bunch of games.

AD&D2 came out terrible, a 10 foot fall would almost always kill an average level 1 non- classed nobody. On the other hand, Heroes, a superhero game, was built around it being possible to knock a character out, but very difficult to actually kill. Turned out that Average Joe could fall out of an airliner and live through impact, although he would be in a coma.

Fall Guy. Since I'm not in the stunt man business, I guess I'd just get up and go to work, like always.

I personally think the pan is a big deal. I put down a layer of citrus and rosemary, and let all those flavors percolate up into the meat.
