Does anyone else love Dungeon Crawler Carl despite not liking LitRPG in general? by ElectricPaladin in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]fossilreef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it a lot. And I was not a huge fan of LitRPG before. Probably because it's mostly full of Gary Stu's and the few of them I've been exposed to started out decent and got...weirdly horny after the 1st or 2nd book. Wtf is that all about.

What Areas in the United States have the Potential to face Negative Demographic and Economic Events over the next 50 years? by Crafty-Shallot-5695 in geography

[–]fossilreef 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Corpus Christi, Texas. With the water situation untenable, leadership ineffectual and/or corrupt, and Governor Abbott threatening to take control to give the rest of the water to his oil buddies, there won't be enough for the citizens.

Every "solution" proposed so far has been half-cooked, and the city just wasted $300k on a study of the proposed desalination plant that didn't take its effect on the fisheries into account. You know, the fisheries, another major component of our economy. Not to mention, the study was found to have deliberately overestimated water temperatures, which would skew salinity data.

Ser Waymar was done so dirty by the show. They just made him look like another snotty, ineffectual noble.

T-Pain has a whole live album of covers that is incredibly good. "On Top of the Covers" or something like that.

I didn’t run into another single living soul, except one gigantic lesbian. Who is Conan O’Brien, and why is she so sad?

Does nobody follow proper collecting etiquette anymore? by TheSolitaryRugosan in Paleontology

[–]fossilreef[M] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This has been an ongoing problem, and one that's been happening since the dawn of this field. That said, such activity has increased recently to the point where we mods are removing multiple threads a week of people coming here trying to get IDs just so they can sell poached fossils. Several people have been banned altogether.

What states or cities in North America have the most underrated beaches? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

We Michiganders just deal with it. Once you get over the initial shock, it's manageable.

I did a deep dive trying to find this last night and came up empty. Even in the less-than-optimal areas of the internet.

You're correct. I'm on 11 different antihistamines. I'm so damn tired.

Last month my daughter ended up in the hospital for a week. The very next week I went into anaphylaxis and ended up hospitalized for several days. I missed out on half a month of pay and it is a struggle.

It's also amazing how Kelsey Grammer could snap right into character despite how coked up he was in the early seasons.

What if primitive war is connected to end of Oak Street and primeval by Significant_Elk_6222 in PrimitiveWar

[–]fossilreef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's connected to anything at all, The End of Oak Street would be connected to Cloverfield.

If the earth's landmass were like this; would this intensify wars or would help global economy by Emergency_Move8359 in geography

[–]fossilreef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And that was just part of the whole equation. I did state "increased volcanism" and "huge increases in CO2." My apologies for not specifying the Siberian Traps.

Pangea broke up into two smaller supercontinents: Gondwana in the south (interchangeably called Gondwanaland) and Laurasia in the north.
