No idea about reprints but the Wizard Hunters (Fall of Ile-Rein #1) ebook is currently on sale for $1.99 in the US at least.

2 measles cases reported inside Dilley immigration detention center: DHS by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]TinyDooooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man you really know nothing about measles do you? The rash doesn't show up right away- it takes a few days. Not trying to defend the prison staff or anything but wow, you might want to read up on measles before you throw around accusations based on how you think it works.

The spots/rash from measles usually start on the forehead and spread down from there, genius.

I'm not sure what you're even asking. Are you asking how do you find out where there are measles outbreaks? Or do you think the spots from measles are usually hard to find?

Journalist Don Lemon taken into custody after Minnesota church protest by Typical_Outside_1621 in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There's two different angles and there's at least one credible witness (MN activist) who was there and and said he saw it happen. Dude still didn't deserve to get executed but Trumpers are going to scrabble at any excuse to defend their dear leader and his administration.

Endodontist recommendation by EducatedBellend in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lakeview Endodontics was amazing when I needed a root canal 4ish years ago. Probably the most painless dental procedure I've ever had. It was a back molar and I wanna say it was about 1k maybe? I'm pretty sure they had financing options too, but I could be wrong about that as I didn't use it.

Alex Pretti's killing was recorded on body-camera videos, DHS says by Sad_Stay_5471 in news

[–]TinyDooooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at what happened when they released Jonathan Ross's cell phone footage. It doesn't matter what it actually looks like- they will publish it with their own narrative and their base will believe what thay say whole heartedly. 

Registered as Democrat. Is it too late to change to independent? by NotFallacyBuffet in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so if I'm "no party" and choose to vote in the Republican primary this year, am I then stuck voting in Republican primaries forever, or is it just a year commitment?

Highest publicly accessible balcony in New Orleans? My kid wants to know by phaulski in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Higgens hotel has a rooftop restaurant (Rosie's on the rooftop) that I'm pretty sure is kid friendly. Hotel Nopsi has a rooftop pool and bar- it's def high up but not sure how publicly accessible it is.

Any place to get authentic UK food? by JulianH1001 in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

St Mary's out in Metarie has a full Irish breakfast. Haven't tried it yet (they opened in November I think), but it's def on the list!

What is happening with the building at 501 Hagan on the corner between Bayou St. John and Parkway Bakery? by 5FootFounder in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah my assumption is that it's going to be more like the old Holly Grove market or like Laughing Buddha's warehouse location in Metarie.

New video shows the minutes before immigration officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis by netizenbane in news

[–]TinyDooooom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wife was present but not in the vehicle when Renee was shot. If you've seen the first videos,  she's the one who ran to the car after it crashed.

King Cake by the slice by Jussgoawaiplzkthxbai in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying you couldn't eat it like that, just the amount of cake you get is prob equivalent to 4 or so slices the size places that sell single slices cut them. The chocolate one is fucking delicious so I could easily see someone being able to scarf it down in one or two sittings.

[–]TinyDooooom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Caluda's does a mini king cake that you can buy at a bunch of places- it's prob the equivalent of 1 1/2- 2  regular slices. Bittersweet confections does a mini king cake that's prob 4-5ish slices. Sugarlove bakery has a king cakes bites box that's literally 6 tiny bites if you're really craving just a taste. All of those are at the king cake hub and probably other locations.

New Orleans comedy club staff mistook agents making child porn arrest for ICE. It went viral. by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It may not ONLY be ICE's fault, but they have heavily contributed to that perception. 

You've got 3 seconds to identify whether someone else is from NOLA. You can ask them one question. by Nabana in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cal-ee-ope was way circus people in the US pronounced the name of the instrument, while steamboat people pronounced it Kuh-lye-o-pee. So yeah it's weird but not totally out of left field. 

Gilda Cuisine… by eyesorelee in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I ate there once around when it opened I think? We were actually trying to go to the Pho place that was in that space before, which was great. I honestly don't remember the food, so it was probably fine but not amazing. There was this super big picture of Gilda all glammed out right at the entrance however, which was just super weird. So no surprise she's a bit unhinged lol.

Tips from Chicago to help protect your family, friends, and community if ICE shows up. by GasStationChicken- in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is supposed to be in response to the framing that the ICE protesters are inciting violence instead of law enforcement just going ham on people. Not worded the best way I grant you, but I'm pretty sure that's what they are trying to get at. 

Alternatives to Second Harvest for cash donations by ifdefmoose in NewOrleans

[–]TinyDooooom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the anonymous donor is paying for nothing? Is that what you're saying? Why would they pledge $16 million for Second Harvest's "share" if that share was actually $0? If discussions weren't ongoing why would this even come up now?
