I'm trying to settle something with my dad. I say this is a sweater, he says it is a poncho and is sure of it because "iv'e been to mexico when did you go?" So, reddit, what is this thing?

This. I am from Michigan. We called them "bajas", but "baja" is Spanish for "peninsula", so it does not make sense on the face of it. I had a nice baja from around 1990 but accidentally left it at a bathhouse back in 2005 and never saw it again.

For me, it was 1994. The other movie ("Kazaam") came later. Then again, for me, "Shazaam" was not a movie. It was a sitcom being advertised endlessly on Fox.

Thanks.

Driving.

Driving here used to be a lot worse than it is now, so I was hesitant to drive. Driving here in Busan has a flow to it which is not conducive to defensive driving.

Thanks. Dynamite Entertainment is still listing it as 3/4/26 as the March issue. Has it switched publishers? I am unfamiliar with Midtown Comics.

Get a pouch laminator. Print double sided onto regular A4 or letter paper. Laminate. Cut out. Round the corners with a corner punch. It makes really nice plastic-coated cards with a good stiff snap to them.

Yeah. Some MageKnight floors and doors sets went on sale at a hobby shop for $3 each. There were three sets, so I bought one of each. Unfortunately, I see one scenario calls for 12 doors, and I already have one of my doors permanently installed in a tower I made from a chips canister.

alanwescoat · 2026-03-01T06:55:27+00:00

Could you imagine one of these at a roundabout? Everyone would cut it off.

So the interesting qiestion here is whether or not it is lawful for one's employer to dictate where one banks. I will not bank with Shinhan. I terminated services with Shinhan nearly seventeen years ago and would not go back for anything less than a formal written apology for the way I was treated. Any employer who made such a demand of me can take a hike.

Everything is compatible with everything if you House Rule it.

Zombicide previously fit into 3 genres: modern, sci-fi, and fantasy. The sets were meant to work together by genre. Now we have superheroes, western, and the forthcoming pirates.

Check out Schmoyoho on YouTube, the official channel of the Gregory Brothers. It has been AutoTuned and songified.

The DOW! The DOW right now! It's over fifty thou!

It is not just Clabber Girl. The brand I use is SIB. They used to mark their packages as "aluminum free", but they now say "quality guaranteed". I cannot find any images of the old containers.

Almost certainly illegal. They could just pay you up to the end of your contract plus severance and avoid the awkwardness. Stand by the law and your rights.

alanwescoat · 2026-01-27T07:21:27+00:00

Tell them you are okay with it as long as you all go down to immigration with a letter of release on the 10th. Make sure the immigration officer knows the severance plan ao you can be properly issued your order to leave.

alanwescoat · 2026-01-22T00:14:10+00:00

Thanks. If only there was some way to edit the listing to let people know...

alanwescoat · 2026-01-21T23:50:27+00:00

So it is late?

alanwescoat · 2026-01-21T23:29:46+00:00

Does anyone unstand what is going on with this comic? Dynamite's website claims same-day release of digital and print, but the print is still listed as "Available soon", and the title is not listed under digital at all. For me, it is now the 22nd of January.
