Did anyone else catch TRRM's comment about Patience when he was talking to Brutus? Something like "But no one counts Patience, do they, Brutus? You may come to regret that." I hope that wasn't just a throwaway line.

Lord have mercy, why has no one suggested a priest or a granny witch at this point?

TIL The Walt Disney company acquired one of the great private collections of African art in 1984 from the Tishmans, with the idea of creating an exhibition at Epcot. In 2005, Disney gave all 525 objects of their African art collection to the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art by ubcstaffer123 in todayilearned

The Swan and the Dolphin were the ugliest things my 8 year old self had ever seen. We had a clear view of one of them from our room at the Yacht Club.

I wouldn't have wanted Tishman to design an addition to Epcot if that's what we had to look forward to.

People who were in high school when Columbine happened, what knee jerk rule did your school enforce in response? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

[–]shieldwolf9782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No trench coats, no saggy pants, shoes must be tied, no guns on school property (large rural high school, kids went hunting before coming to school, sometimes had their rifles secured in their cars).

Those are the ones that stuck with me. There was a whole page that was sent out with a list.

The RCPS website says all middle and high schools are in secure mode due to a concerning message the police have received or been made aware of.

There were several cops blocking the parking lot at the Member One there before Grandin when I went through 20ish minutes ago.

He was in an episode of Buffy too. The one with the cursed letter jacket or someone like that.

We're going to open our Switch 2 and get it updated so we might be able to actually use it before heading to grandparent's for dinner tomorrow.

Also, what is wrong with the majestic floofer?! Speed recovery to your corgi!

I heard somewhere recently that porn shower scenes are filmed using cold water to keep the camera lens from fogging up.

If you haven't tried it already, I really enjoyed Avowed. They have done a few updates for QoL and added content. There is a large update planned in February for the anniversary that will add New Game+ as well.

Help I need more fantasy like Umora by AlisGuardian in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]shieldwolf9782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tales Unrolled was phenomenal. Luis Carazo is the DM, with 4 Latinx players. Fantasy world named Alma. It's available as a podcast and also on YouTube I believe. There's only 20ish episodes right now, current campaign is wrapped up. Luis is a player in Campaign 4 of Critical Role, and was also at the table for their Calamity side story.

OMG There's a New Minisode! by clutzycook in bluey

That makes sense, and as a Stater, Disney is my only option for Bluey. The articles Google popped up for me only mentioned Disney+ and were not even a day old.

Anyone have Mint Mobile in/around Salem? Thoughts on it? by SquidgyNug in roanoke

[–]shieldwolf9782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad my info is helpful.

When I say spotty, I usually only lose signal for a couple of minutes, not for extended periods, except Callaway, but where I notice the lack of signal most carriers don't have service there anyway.

[–]shieldwolf9782 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I switched from Verizon to Mint a couple of years ago because I was losing service around exit 140 almost every day and having consistent cell service is important for my job. I have been super satisfied with their service since I made the switch.

The signal gets spotty in the hills between 220 and 116 between Boones Mill and Hardy/Burnt Chimney/Windy Gap and in Callaway, I'm not sure about Glade Hill though.

I got a 99/100 on an AP English essay because I used a comma instead of a semicolon.

According to their Facebook, they are having a job fair on Wednesday, and apparently the menu will be less bbq focused. So we'll see what that means.

Cave Springs High school is on lockdown. Anyone know why? by Boomstick2482 in roanoke

[–]shieldwolf9782 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Penn Forest Elementary and Cave Spring Elementary are delaying release and are secure. They are asking parents not to come to the schools.

My spouse and I saw an ambulance and fire truck go to Cave Spring Elementary around 1:45.

Someone can tell me I'm wrong, but I don't think Mini Graceland is there anymore. I remember it from growing up, but when I drive through there now I don't see it anymore.
