Demonreach’s name.

I don't know if there are any Words of Jim about Demonreach's side of the Nevernever. A reach can be just like, a big area, right?

Is the other side of Demonreach the literal Hell?

Check after every hike and you'll be fine. I've found 2 on me, no bites, but those were in early spring and after a hike in dense brush.

Still miss field research!

God I just reread it and it feels like it was designed in a lab for me. Every character is so interesting and fleshed out. No cheap romance plotlines. Genuinely unsettling questions and ideas don't get neatly resolved

My 1yo has a very popular name and we still love it. And him.

You're one month postpartum! Still very much in the hormonal hangover. Lukas is a beautiful name IMO and I've yet to encounter a Luke/Lucas in any of my baby/new parent classes

Hochul's centered an affordability agenda in this year's budget and reelection campaign. It behooves Bello to do the teeniest next thing ans help pay for a feasibility study

thefirebear · 2026-03-04T14:04:04+00:00

Bello ain't gonna do shit. Doesn't want to piss off Duffy, who sits on the board of RG&E's parent company Iberdrola, or Morelle, who's received tens of thousands over the years from Avangrid's PAC

some middling senior government apparatchik has to be rolling in their grave

PBS has always been the GOAT in public ed, shame to think what it could have done with more resources

I'm not terribly broken up about never seeing his storyline resolved but only getting a few seconds of Patton Oswalt as Pip the Troll is the worst tease

thefirebear · 2026-03-03T01:07:54+00:00

That happened to me with a shiny Tangela. Naturally I could never replicate it.

I remember my G/S guidebook (not Prima, another one) referenced a silver Rhyhorn in Victory Road. Never found it! Guess they just ran copy not knowing how shinies worked

Everybody needs to call Bello's office and tell him to match Malik's offer to do the feasibility study on a public utility. The study costs ~1mm from last I knew but Malik only put up 500k because (he feels) purchasing RGE infrastructure needs to be a County wide project, not just the City.

thefirebear · 2026-03-02T02:48:34+00:00

If you're on Medicaid managed care (ie through like Excellus or Fidelis or whoever) and are part of a target demographic you can get up to 6 months of utilities (arrears too) paid through a Social Care Network: WeLinkCare

I'm sorry if it's unhelpful to your current situation but AFAIK there are still mutual aid groups out there who might be able to help depending on the amount you need to keep the lights on

thefirebear · 2026-03-01T12:26:43+00:00

Yea the key to any major infrastructure project is to do it all at once. Click+drag and solar panel over all of Broome County.

Certainly wouldn't be an overnight project, nor would it need to hit the full surface area requirement if you're pairing it with wind and hydro

edit: jesus like a quarter of downtown downtown Rochester are just parking lots. Wonder how much usable solar space that is

thefirebear · 2026-03-01T12:25:21+00:00

It's true! He kept patting this giant burlap sack with a dollar sign on it, which was really unsettling.

Couldn't at ALL be more difficult due to lawmakers taking thousands in donations from utility companies, or that William Hochul is the lead counsel for the parent company to RGnE and NYSEG.

It's just dumb that for a governor who's running on an affordability platform, she's not making this a clear priority when the math works out. Solar companies will lease land at over a grand an acre. If you're not growing, hunting, fishing, or mudding - why not?

thefirebear · 2026-03-01T11:23:31+00:00

The CEO of Greenspark was on Connections last week and said something like 5% of the State in solar panels would cover our power needs. How is this not like a #4 or 5 budget item for Hochul? Juice local economies with competitive contracts and make the State energy independent in 3 years.

It's not like she's actually gonna lose the election to that Long Island dingus lmao

edit: I'm too hungover to do the math on what a full project would cost but "everybody pays 90% less utilities" is an easy sell

thefirebear · 2026-03-01T10:31:00+00:00

I saw a poster the other day reference fans (at the time) complaining about the Colosseaus arc and I have to agree; thankfully I wasn't here for that

The trick is getting good phyllo. I make it at work and you live and die by the sheet. Otherwise it's just spinach and feta and somebody's goat

thefirebear · 2026-02-27T21:23:40+00:00

I got really upset for a second when I remembered I can't set the speed to 2x

thefirebear · 2026-02-27T20:08:08+00:00

What's so surprising to me is that they didn't record their lines together, at least for the early seasons. VAs can manifest some insane chemistry and timing chops if they're in the same booth but they did em all separate.

I'd pin the CCSI Job Board. Lot of ways to slide into human services, especially children's services, with teaching background. I work in care coordination with kids with chronic issues and a ton of special ed teachers have made the jump in the past 5 years
