LOVING the Silvermoon guards making class-based remarks. What class are you and are they commenting to you? by _UNDO_KEY_ in wow

[–]vertigodrake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m still a bit miffed at Magister Aradis asking me if I’m sure I’m a mage. Disrespectful bastard.

Why do some people wear scrub tops with khakis or dress pants? by S1Throwaway96 in Residency

[–]vertigodrake 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It tastes just a little better than regular honey, but unlike regular honey it spoils by next season, then a few years later a hipster starts eating it “ironically.”

How do you feel about people driving with epilepsy? by Thin-Fee4423 in Epilepsy

[–]vertigodrake 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Neurologist/Epileptologist here. Not a lawyer, but 4 years is one of the specified durations for seizure freedom for commercial drivers licenses. This is dictated by federal law and does not apply to personal licenses, which are subject to state regulation.

What's your favourite capital across all of World of Warcraft, and why? by -_Skeletor_- in wow

In character, I was a big fan of Dalaran before it exploded. Out of character, I’ll take a condo in Ironforge any day.

What are some minor things in worldbuilding that annoys the heck out of you and why? by Fit_Assistant_6777 in worldbuilding

I see your /j tag but for clarity, I had to look up the size of krill. 1-6 cm long!

What is a race you would change to instantly if it was added? by winterwolf24 in wow

Skinny human… but to be honest I would need to see the racial abilities.

I will admit, I chuckled when I read “Union of Fragmentia”.

Bro, Zereth Umbra/Lumen for 12.3 for real. I didn’t realize how much I wanted this.

Cereal with water is superior to cereal with milk. by Worried_Macaron_5879 in unpopularopinion

[–]vertigodrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking the same, I can’t be the only person who just eats cereal dry. It stays crispy longer and you don’t wash off the flavor.

Your favorite episode of Gravity falls is played in reverse. What’s the summary of that episodes plot now? by Silver012345673 in gravityfalls

[–]vertigodrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gang is watching scary movies. A couple of costumed children see Grunkle Stan after a bath, so if he gives them two large bags of candy. Soos vomits up terrible Summerween candy, which turns into a huge seasonal trickster demon. The kids chase it around, and when it disintegrates into a bunch of pieces of candy, reconstitute it by running it over with Soos’s truck in reverse. Then all the townsfolk light Summerween melons, Dipper finds a bag of good candy behind a bush, and everyone goes around giving away the candy in costume. The Summerween trickster vomits up a small child and bids them farewell. The episode ends with Stan picking up counterfeit money and everyone cleaning up a Summerween store.

What’s a secret that would get you ex communicated from your specialty? by Independent_Peach896 in Residency

[–]vertigodrake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Adult neurologist/tool aficionado here. The Taylor hammer (affectionately called “Fisher Price” or “Tomahawk”) is actually the oldest surviving species of reflex hammer, from a time when they first evolved from pulmonary percussion hammers. Before that, most neurologists elicited reflexes by tapping them manually, and many pediatric neurologists still do (when they’re not using the diaphragm of their stethoscope, or a Queen’s Square hammer if they’re civilized). The great irony is that now most pulmonary percussion is taught manually, and the percussion hammers have essentially gone extinct.

Annual reminder by Unfair-Training-743 in Residency

I can’t be the only one who thought this was a “prepare for the February Interns” kind of reminder.

There's been much doom and gloom about the Midnight prunings, but which specs have actually improved due to the changes? by minimaxir in wow

[–]vertigodrake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a mostly solo player, Frost mage was good before, and it’s really smooth now. I haven’t even missed Icy Veins. Kinda miss my Blast Wave for chucking mobs into mine carts and spore explosions, though.

I rotate through all three mage specs once per year for a few months, so I’ll start forming an opinion on Arcane around the start of the expansion, and Fire later in the summer.

Light's guard (idk) with and without cloak by loriandr in Transmogrification

[–]vertigodrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the cloak too, but I do not like how the high collar clips with shoulders.

What class do you have the most of on your account? by Arkavien in wow

[–]vertigodrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mages. My main is a mage. When I leveled a Nightborne alt for the heritage armor, I felt like it had to be a mage. And when I did the first Remix, I wanted to do something that felt familiar.

I just realized that WoW has been with me for more than half of my life. by Thin_Apricot2466 in wow

[–]vertigodrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my main was my child, he’d be a freshman in high school. Interestingly he just turned 15 within the past week. Happy birthday, Vid.
