So once we finish this giant (having learned our lesson, again) we should take a look at the map, pick a camp, restore Eldthor, repair the dwarfs, question the dominated giant and rest. There may be some other things on the list, like drag the bodies away and throw them in the chasm so that they're ...

We did it, and continue to do it, for Cubans. If they looked at the demographics, they should find Cuban refugees among the most loyal Red State groups. If they'd get out of their own way, they could make the elections actually sporting without cheating, but that would require letting brown or sort ...

I've had some luck, but only with those who can actually do math.

Good education does three things: It makes you able to fend for yourself, so you don't have to be a wage slave. It opens the world and other people's issues to you, so you aren't an egocentric, narcissist asshat. It shows you the cycles of history, so you can make better decisions about how to avoid...

I'm on the "take it" side, trolls notwithstanding. They'll just use it for real evil if you leave it in their hands. Organizations spend lots following up on 'donors' etc, and one way to troll an organization you don't care for is to give them a small amount, once. They spend way more than...

This Thursday will likely be tardy again, more tech.
Next time moving to Wed looks ok from this distance.

A) immigration reform requires that one establish what we have been really bad at: admitting we need people from other places both at the top of the economy and at the bottom. We pretend that we don't want any of these folks around, while we sip our inexpensive orange juice, and yes, mainline heroin...

So the path we are on presently ignores the wyverns. If it circles around, and their lair turns into an alternate exit, that's great. They might live on a day/night cycle that makes them vulnerable. It may be that their lair is a dead end, and totally isolated from this complex. In that case, it mig...

Whenever we act from an impulse of cowardice (whether or not it's couched in some euphemistic "caution") it diminishes us. It justifies ignoring laws (which makes it more likely laws like Habeus Corpus will be ignored when inconvenient). It justifies torture and other inhuman and inhumane ...

So as not to dream I basically gave up sleeping. Not for everyone, but the few dreams I recall are fleeting and fragmentary and mostly harmless.
Work to infinity is the worse problem. I have no solution other than frequently beg forgiveness. Occasionally of myself.

weird, somehow expected. How many more things that perhaps predate the giants? How large is the wyvern opening? Could we perhaps set a snare or other trap to catch or kill them either when they are returning to the lair or as they leave? If we're going to run into random stuff as well as giants, I'd...

critical question: do these guys have any sihedron markings?

There are times when it's just best for fighter muscle memory to take over.

1 - Hoping against hope that this works out well for everyone because, after all, it's one boat. (Although I could say something about access to life jackets) 2 - As pointed out by the Independent Senator from Maine, Comey's decisons to reveal or not reveal are inconsistent and appear to follow no p...

Possibly tardy, tech night for Mary Poppins, supposed to end at 9 (eastern). Anybody's guess, give or take an hour.

So #1 sleep is definitely causative in terms of making exercise and eating choices useful. Somehow resets the balance and convinces your body that it's safe to let go of storage inventory. You feel safe enough to sleep; your body feels safe enough to swap emergency fat reserves for muscle or nothing...

no idea who their last victim was. There are over a hundred giants outside. No telling what prisoners they might have or whether these guys are even on the same team. K, as far as next, I'd toss the caps in the chasm while we attempt to cross. If there's more and they show up they get a pretty good ...

I'd take Glen Campbell

That's a great question. I don't think they're undead, but definitely not normal beasties. I like the idea of M having garden gnomes, but there's so much going on here I can't piece together. Wyverns, dragons, the whole mess of mixed giantkind. I know that the caps are magic but not transferable, so...

It's not irrational at all. Fighting them blows, because of their outsized attacks, dr, speed and malice. I wouldn't know about them except we didn't manage to save a single pegasus (paladins love mounts), and then they tore us up in the cave. We even had npc help, if you recall. If you're going to ...
