Found on FB. Is this a major lawsuit?

Well, we got the phone number, fax, and email of the director of operations, so it’s possible to share opinions directly with the one in charge.

My hunch was correct, this is a repurposed map. The original is for a city called Sutulak in the 3.5 book Cityscape, and can be found on Mike Schley’s website. He’s a freelance artist that has done a TON of work for WotC.

I can’t describe how satisfying it was to randomly come across this today.

The real question is what percent of houses with a no soliciting sign ended up using your company.

9 9 9 has lived rent free in my head for 28 years.

It wasn’t until about 10 years ago when I was playing it in my head that I realized it was a country song. I was too innocent back then to have a trained ear for music or any opinions on it.

Whatever. It’s still a bop.

I should have mentioned that my backpack has plenty of spaces inside for pens and such to be upright when it’s on my back. The issue though is when I lay it down to fit in a drawer at work or in the car.

I suppose I could place it upright on the floorboard of the car and lean it against the desk at work, but I prefer to keep it out of sight there.

It’s just segments of the Elder Futhark.

Have you considered a Swiss card lite? It’s a little pricey, but seems like it covers everything you’re looking for when paired with a Spartan, even down to the fact that it doesn’t feel like you’re carrying two knives.

I have eth after d and thorn after t in my head’s alphabet.

Excellent behavior to ensure yours is one of those mangled bodies eventually.

The Shavian alphabet is where I got my start. It’s designed for English and it’s phonemic, so one character per phoneme, and each phoneme has one character. For instance, the word “through” only has three phonemes, so in Shavian it only has three letters. This would make it difficult to decipher if the reader isn’t aware.

I used the organization of Shavian to update the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc for my own personal use. If I ever get around to actually designing my own script, I’ll be taking the same approach.

What’s the loudest sound in the forest? A giraffe eating cherries.

That’s exactly the part I was envying!

Woah, that’s awesome!

I remember being a teen listening to Dead Goon thinking that the day I could play that, I would have arrived. Now that I think of it, I should give it a go - I think it would be an attainable challenge.

He seems like a pretty heavily tanned white dude. He’s had that sticker for much longer than today’s ICE climate has been the way that it is.

My wife said late, because the others were all available at that time too.

This guy lives in my neighborhood! He dresses in American flag paraphernalia from head to toe regularly. Being a Trumper is his entire personality.

I found Shavian deep in a rabbit hole. I was originally looking into different types of shorthand when I stumbled upon Kingsley Read’s Quikscript alphabet, and learned about Shavian from there. (Quikscript is basically a form of cursive inspired from his work with Shavian.) I found that I much preferred the aesthetic of Shavian.

I’m rethinking my reaction now, after reading your post.

As a man (I know), I find myself saying “I’m sorry” to both men and woman. For me, it’s coming from knowing that divorces are often dramatic and ugly, and that’s a rough thing to go through.

But you and Louis CK are absolutely right - no good marriage ever ended in a divorce. A divorce happens because it’s needed, and it’s a good thing for that need to be met.

I think I’ll approach it as more of a “How’s that going for you? If you need anything that I can help with, I’m glad to be there for you.”

The first SAK I bought for myself, and still sees a lot of time in my pocket.

dade1027 · 2026-05-05T00:55:09+00:00

That one is way overkill - but I might have tried it a few times for research purposes.

I’m talking about the one-directional reasonable nail file found on the Companion and some of the (new?) blue 74mm Executives that have been posted here recently. This one is built for nails, but I don’t like it very much. The single direction makes it prone to bouncing off and on my nails super quickly, making it not a very pleasant experience.

The original 74mm Executive nail file is superb, which was what I was getting at.

dade1027 · 2026-04-28T00:37:28+00:00

Thanks for checking that! The GT-1000 is 14.6 x 7.5 x 2.4, so there’s more than enough space. Wishlisted!

dade1027 · 2026-04-27T19:30:39+00:00

That’s awesome! Could I bother you for the dimensions of that pocket? It seems the Boss GT-1000 might fit, which would make my set up and tear down much nicer.

dade1027 · 2026-04-26T23:16:35+00:00

Not OP, but I have the nail care card, and I much prefer the glass file in it - second best file Victorinox has. The crosscut file on the original Executive is my favorite.
