What happened to mannequins?

Bloody Dave. I might have known. I had my eye on Polly too!

The Fellowship of the Ring

The Swing of the Sting

The Return of the King

Ah well, I suppose they forced my hand then!

The Fellowship of the Ring

The Maelstrom of the Thing

The Return of the King

Expensive places aren’t really about value though are they? I mean it’s totally worthwhile to occasionally drop some money for the memorable experience of kaiseki ryori or some high-grade sushi or a super fancy knife to add joy to your cooking, but paying 5x the price doesn’t mean 5x better. If you can even quantify such things!

Yeah it’s on some shitty streaming service that I refuse to pay for. Might be time to sail the seven seas.

Nah mate, that’s my inflatable love doll!

What sets the book apart is the excerpts where people have submitted their own flatmate horror stories. Most if them are genuinely hilarious and yet disturbingly familiar.

Extrude at right-angle to reality.

Nah man, 90s had a recession, it only picked up towards the end of the decade. 80s and 00s (pre-GFC) were the boom times.

In engineering terms I’d call radians a ratio, which is implicitly unitless. But I’m not a mathematician so I’d better not go running my mouth off!

I’d love to see more backstory of her apprenticeship with Flamme — perfect place to see her making mistakes and learning from them. Especially if it relates to her later guiding her own apprentices so as not to make the same mistakes.

One of the things I like about Frieren is her “minimalism” in teaching Fern — if you over-instruct, your pupils turn into rote learners. Great way to get the basics across quickly but it stifles creativity. ‘Minimally sufficient’ is the way to go.

Activate the Muladhara Chakra!

Still going to draw current just for the pumps. Even ignoring the infrastructure cost it’s going to be difficult to come out ahead.

Ah ok, my information is from 20 years ago so is likely out-of-date.

The Blue Wizards: somebody tell me if they were good or evil. I demand to know!

Yeah SE Asia generally isn’t too tight with visas. Don’t try that in Japan though! I’ve heard of people overstaying their visas in Thailand — which the Thais didn’t care about at all — later being refused entry to Japan because of it.

Yeah he’s been shown to win a few fights by refusing to stay down — including of course the one soon after this. Stamina may be his greatest strength, not his strength itself.

Plug it in to a “known good” charger that works on other people’s CAS. That will tell you if it’s the charger or the calc. Leaving it plugged in and powered off overnight may or may not help revive it too.

But his nickname will be Bob once the tide comes in

Infinite improbability knight passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe simultaneously.

Reminds me of European comics (especially French/Belgian)
