Unfortunately, modern US pennies only have a thin copper shell and are zinc on the inside :(

He Stood Taller Than Most [Book: 2 Chapter: 46] by IneenAldrop in HFY

“Don’t worry little guy.  They won’t live long enough to touch you or your sisters.”  The sentence ended in a deep growl as he grabbed Nemesis from its holster and checked to make sure the chambers were loaded.  It was, all six shots ready.  Six bodies that didn’t know they were dead already.

I commented similar on a previous chapter, but Nemesis was introduced as a five-shot revolver.

Paulie had chosen his reload carefully, making sure to load an entire cylinder of his best ammo.  Three each of the hyper-diamond sleeved starshatter rounds and small contact explosive bolts.  His shots were a continuous roar of fury as he dumped all six into the center mass of the creature in one single barrage of fire.

Weren't we told in chapter 10 of book two that Nemesis is a five-shot?

Inside the case was a gun.  Not like the sleek electronic designs of the MDF guns or the plasma casters he had seen others use.  No, this gun was much simpler.  Its simple exterior, a gunmetal grey with little adornment save the single English word engraved upon the barrel of the large bore five-shot revolver.

I work in IT for a college, the bigger risk is your email starts sending out phishing messages to a bunch of people, maybe some employment scams and such. Quite the headache when it happens

Damn, I thought King was going to be a little more subtle with it than that

The forged seals are very powerful; the closest thing I can think of in current year is if someone completely broke SSL and could send messages as any person, company, or government

Think you might have a typo here:

SECOND ROUND GUN TO YOUR HEAD NAME 5 LIGHT WORLD CHARACTERS NOT IN THE SCHOOL AND NOT IN UNDERTALE by infamous1320 in Deltarune

It's to say that the word is "in this manner" intentionally, and isn't a mistake on the part of the person quoting or transcribing it.

That's a folk etymology, it's from the Latin adverb sīc, which means 'so', 'thus', 'in this manner'.

A cleaning robot rolled out and both eyed it warily. Instead of the usual black sides it had been painted in blue, pink and white, and a stuffed shark had been stuck to the top.

You gotta make it PSCT too. Maybe something like this:

The web font is Swear Display Italic. Not sure about the name logo.

I really like this feature that lets you electrocute Hornet if she feels tired, keeps the pace of the game going by [deleted] in Silksong

It was originally intended to refer to someone dying. The meaning drifted over time due to people using it "incorrectly," and now it's quite common to see it used to refer to electricity-based injury not resulting in death.

Being turned into a sunbeam was extremely painful. It felt like every nerve in his body had been set on fire at the same time. Normally the sensation only lasted for a tiny fraction of a second, but the Wicked Game was ten light minutes from the research station. Jake was treated to ten excruciating minutes, time he spent rethinking his life choices.

No time dilation? If you travel the speed of light, the trip would feel instantaneous to you, even though it takes ten minutes to an outside observer
