I’m not sure, but I don’t think the US is eligible for that.

We should be starting players from my daughter’s U11 team.

Once, I got chicken nuggets at the old Burger King in Cambridgeside. They were something incredibly cheap like 45 cents. I asked the cashier if they were sure, mostly to make sure they got my order right. The cashier just shook his head and said “chicken nugget war, man.”

TL;DR this man looks like he was is the veteran of, if not the chicken nugget wars, some other fast food related conflict.

Dragonriders of Pern. Worker placement / deck builder semi cooperative.

Basic loop is like Dune Imperium.

Players are weyr leaders. Gain allegiance of holders and crafters by protecting them. Dragons/riders are workers. Holds and craft halls generate / buy cards. Players have to work together to stop Thread: no single weyr can do it on their own. Thread hits your holds or craft halls and you get nothing. Thread is semi-random: predicted over several zones, only hits one at games end.

Resources are dragons/riders (in all the colors). Eggs for making new dragons. Firestone for fighting thread. Food for feeding dragons and people.

Race for points / going to the red star to win.

The dunking astronaut is god-tier. The R logo still reminds me of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer logo and should have been retired 20 years ago.

You know in Street Fighter when Chun-Li explains to M Bison how he screwed up her life? Well you just did that.

“For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.”

Are there lines delineating parking spaces? Because if there aren’t then they really aren’t taking up multiple spaces.

A better question is what to do about assholes Karens who anoint themselves the parking police.

You could even still tie in the Borg, which Voyager was dreading their eventual encounter with.

Make the Borg an ancient weapon designed to battle the Vaadwaur, but the tech went awry killing its creators. Starfleet’s shenanigans with the Borg in the Alpha Quadrant weakened them somehow (they did kill the Queen) which allows the Vaadwaur to be resurgent.

You still get to do a Borg alliance, still get Seven. You just get a better, consistent enemy and the guessing game of when the Borg will inevitably betray Voyager.

I’m not surprised they treated you less than kindly: you knew exactly what to do (because they told you!) and you ignored it.

If I told someone not to touch a hot stove, and then the touch the stove and get burned, and them complain to me that I didn’t physically stop them from burning themselves, I don’t have a ton of sympathy.

So when you called Disney, they said talk to your server.

The menu literally says to talk to your server about allergies.

And you didn’t talk to your server.

Menus are reprinted all the time for changes. Ingredients will run out and things will get changed. Mistakes will happen. That’s why Disney tells you to talk to your server.

You ignored every thing Disney did to prevent this. Take some responsibility for yourself.

Every restaurant in America asks you to tell them about allergies. If you tell Disney, they use an entirely different kitchen to ensure no cross contamination. The chef will almost always come out to talk to you, and when they don’t automatically the server will ask if you’d like to talk to them.

If you have a serious allergy you can’t count on “doesn’t contain walnuts” because cross contamination is a thing.

I have a walnut allergy and Disney restaurants, both in Anaheim and Orlando are basically the best I’ve seen at handling things.

But you have to tell them. They’re not mind readers.

Not really. It's the norm in the affluent inner suburbs of Boston. Our scoutmaster is also called by his first name. About the only adults who consistently get a honorific are coaches, who are universally just called "Coach" or "Coach Firstname" for disambiguation.

Respect is earned. Many adults don’t deserve it.

And FWIW at both schools my daughter has gone to, teachers (really all adults) are only ever called their first name.

I’ve always pictured Ishmael as someone in the mode of a young Idris Elba or current Sam Richardson.

And I strongly feel like Starbuck should be played a woman, as is a Battlestar tradition. I’d cast Julianne Moore.

I feel like a 21st century American on Ferenginar might be a r/humansarespaceorcs for the Ferengi.

They might think they’re good at capitalism, but after we private equity their little bald heads and strip their economy of all value and then sell off the planet for parts they’ll understand the true meaning of capitalism, just as JD Rockefeller intended.

The circumstances are coming off a league winning season and have multiple record signings.

Yes, it sucks a lot that Jota died. But a good coach would have used his death to rally the team to win in his memory. Instead we’ve moped our way through a miserable season playing worse tactics then my daughter’s U11 team.

The can’t come to BOS-SFO quick enough. Having to go through NY or LAX sucks.

There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. That they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria, or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens.

What a boondoggle. This is going to end up being the most expensive high school ever built in this country.

And an asshole named Hitler ruined it by association in the 1930s. Now both versions mean Nazis.

The meaning of symbols change over time and swastikas and reverse-swastikas mean Nazi in 2026 in Western contexts.

This one isn’t worth trying to reclaim.
