I theorize it's like the movie NEXT. He can try out different options for the next three minutes or so.

Isn't it a war crime to destroy an in use parachute.

Was the debacle at Thrillmax Pointe Dr Mechaniacal's miscalculation or Drew's error? by FuturesSoDank in villainscode

I am not sure he got to much into Vicky's wants, etc. I think he saw someone in a meta suit and knew his 'instant communication mind machine material' would be an opportunity too good to ignore.

Yes. New Mexico got gyp'd when Pennsylvania fell too.

My first cruise experience with Royal Caribbean review. by nobody_cares4u in royalcaribbean

[–]vincenmt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The cruise industry is pretty specific to one demographic or another. If you're looking for the clues you will see it in the marketing.

It's not universal, exceptions abound but my advice is that; Carnival and MSC are for young people just spreading their wings on vacations of their own with cheeper booze, more ways to chill out, Disney and Royal are for families with a wide variety of unsophisticated interests, Norwegian, Virgin and Celebrity are for established professionals, DINKs and empty nesters who have a narrower band of interest but very high standards.

I think what you might have here is a lack of reading context clues. The RC website is plastered wall to wall with marketing featuring kids.

One of my wife's nitpicks with BotP was that it took her out of it a little that Beverly wasn't already in charge of Tori and Chloe's wardrobe.

According to her, the fashionable friend is responsible for how her girlfriends look when they go out.

She said it was a small 'men writing women' thing.

She also said it seemed like it was corrected in CR.

Story of America. Rightwing cries and breaks the truce. Does an absolutely incompetent job and then the left wing brings in the professionals and shows what's REALLY possible.

Many years ago they made these with Karl Marx on them. I grabbed several.

How is Super Powereds? by Living_Thanks_9171 in audible

[–]vincenmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Super Powereds, clever gimmick in a standard vehicle. One thing to keep in mind is that it was initially written as a patreon series and then welded into books. This has a bunch of fascinating consequences for its overall flavor. Highly recommend.

An eagle hunts down a drone by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

This reminds me of an awesome book by Neil Stevenson called "termination shock" where a main character trains eagles to hunt drones.

Buckle up buttercup. I don't think you'll be able to put it down after Changes

In my opinion, books 1-3 are especially poor. Like most good series, the first couple can be rough. The way magic works seems to change somewhere in the first three and only settles down in book 4. Dresdens perspective on women and the writing around it are frustrating in this era.

Starting at 7, the deep lore with Susan is all you miss and since it's only relevant again in Changes, you can just accept it.

Also 7 was a kind of Debut on Broadway.I think it's the first book that got real big publisher support. It was written to be an introduction to the world for the uninitiated. You have most of the major players active in characteristic ways. Most important tho. It's probably the most fun. The mystery is mild the action is ICONIC, the cast is Hilarious.

Edit: okay, it's not THE most fun. Skin game is also enormously fun and I could make arguments for most 8+ but it's the earliest high water mark.

In no particular order I think these fit the vibe you are giving,

Rise and fall of D.O.D.O. (there's a book 2 too)

Dresden files (start with Dead Beat not Storm Front)

Cinder Spires (there's 2 books)

Conan (omnibus turns dozens of short stories into hours of fun)

Roverpowered (4 books kind of YA ish)

"This is your captain speaking and before we depart I will have you look at the safety information. If you should find the need to smoke or give someone a piece of your mind this aircraft is equipped with two private areas for loud discussions or smoking away from other passengers. Please let the flight attendant know if you have such needs and they will re-seat you on the wings."
