I... don't think it's really a condition, per se? Sometimes that's just what it takes to get the wisdom teeth out. Depends on how they've grown in and what the roots are like, from what I understand. If you've had the x-rays they should already know if it's going to take something like that, I think, and would have told you. It it wasn't mentioned, you should be fine~

Just wait for the six-part Silmarillion and the three-part adaptation of the appendices: "Fellowship of the Genealogy", "The Two Elvish Languages", and "Return of the Timeline"
I'd probably watch some silmarillion based movies. If they managed to be even half as engaging as the old starcraft maps, they'd be great.

Don't forget we have a dedicated programming thread, if you have coding related questions. Probably better chance someone familiar with programming is paying attention to that one.

... just remember to get them checked occasionally. I didn't have any problems myself until shortly before getting them removed, but it turned out by that point they had all badly decayed and should have been taken out something like 3-4 years earlier. Was definitely a bit of a "whoops."

*pats sealy on the back*

Look on the bright side. Words will be able to describe your pain. Wisdom tooth recovery doesn't quite reach the indescribable pain threshold, so... it could be worse!

Ghills -- and other LDS folks... any christians technically, I suppose...

Does your denomination have anything to say on, well... the other creation story? The first one, which doesn't particularly go the Adam and Eve route. Disregard, attempt to reconcile, something else?

... it's alright. Block value's too low to qualify as best-shield-ever, though :P

Need at least two fiddy or so, preferably more. If you've got both block prodigies block value is basically all that actually matters on a shield, imo.

Actually, it's not all that sexy at all... time shield's good, but there's not that many resists (less of an issue if you've got the block-all prodigy, but eh), the damage isn't particularly notable (outside the on-hit stuff, which is pretty strong but...), and most of the other bonuses are just kinda' there. You can get way better shields, heh. Right rolls on a tier 5 random unique shield can get straight up bonkers.

Still pretty workable, though. Probably be pretty nice on a shield AB, methinks. They love that accuracy bonus and have aegis, sooo...

Hey, diamonds look different than glass! They sparkle much more. Why do you think Swarowski is a thing, instead of bits of glass?
Silly helgo, that's why you embed glitter and whatnot in the glass. Extra sparkles! And cheaper, probably.

Not that I can recall, unless you want to commit suicide by infinite dungeon instead of kaboom. If you've won, you can take your critter to the ruined dungeon and go down stairs.

Of course, unless it's been changed you can't continue to level like an actual ID character could, so you're absolutely going to die eventually, but that's more or less the base campaign's final destination.

... aren't some people allergic to dates? I mean, they're alright as fruit goes -- pretty easy to keep the producing plants alive, anyway, in my experience (providing you're in the right climate zone) -- but if they make your partner sick you should probably avoid them.

Not sure fruit is the best method of seduction these days, anyway. Definitely has that old school charm, but perhaps only if your partner is actually familiar with the songs of solomon or somethin'. Though also maybe a bit forward in that case -- fruit can get pretty raunchy...

All well-intentioned relationship bribes in moderation, I guess I'm saying.

... it's past 1 AM here, and... well, Lord of High Waters is kinda' apt,* as I've been reflux'd into consciousness far past the point I want to be, so. Neither am I. Sure of what I'm talkin' 'bout.

*Well, if waters is actually acid and I guess I wouldn't mind swinging a sacrifice to Kimbery if it'd actually work to stop this nuisance but the sea that marched against the flame doesn't actually exist so no. such. luck. Or NSL, as it may be. Though it's probably for the best because creation is not a happy place to be if you're human.

E: Uh. Huh. There's actually official exalted fiction. Delicious books. Will acquire. Maybe.

It looks good on basically anyone :3
I look terrible in a vest, so I apologize, but I'm going to have to shoot you down here. Vests and suit-like attire make me look more cube shaped than I already look.
... play it up, dress as companion cube? Everyone would love you and you'd die in a fire. Though hopefully at some indeterminate point in the future. Maybe stay away from incinerators in general while in suit.

E: On second thought, you've got kids. Maybe don't dress as the companion cube.

... I don't think that would be applicable here, King Frumpy of the Floridan Swamps.
Very subtle.

Me and my girlfriend were looking at scrapbooks full of pictures of young me...
Her: Who is that girl? She's really cute!
Me: That's me when I was twelve...
... subtle attempt to get you to crossdress?

Bible leaves quite a lot of ambiguity about Lucy and his motives
Chiming in a little to offer some extra words, and it's been a little bit since I last walked over the versus regarding th'old adversary, but... from what I recall, not really. There's no point in the basic biblical texts (old+new testament) in which the critter in question acts against god... and at least one (The noted Job) where it acts specifically with god's blessing. The whole rebellion, working counter to god's will, envying mankind, etc., so forth, so on... is more or less extra biblical, or coming from stuff outside the primary texts. Ol' Scratch doesn't actually get much screen time, and what's there... isn't really that much.

There's certainly a lot left unsaid -- there's literally nothing said as to the devil's motives in the core bible, insofar as I'm aware -- and it's ambiguous in that nature, but...

Really, the important thing to remember is that almost everything about popular conceptions of Satan -- sometimes even ones invoked in outright theological discussion! -- is to some extent or another extra-biblical, right down to the name Lucifer. Any motive, just about any emotion or character, etc., so forth, so on, is pretty much invented. The bible speaks of a deceiver (often, at least in comparison to the amount of times it actually does anything, working specifically at god's command or with its blessing), but that's about all it says. Certainly from the perspective of dealing with an omnipotent creator, something working outside its allowance is a rather silly concept...

One of the interesting alternative conceptualizations I've seen of satan isn't as a thing, but instead as a state of mind. Not a personified devil, but rather as the state of being in opposition to god, to the extent that's not an impossibility. It certainly sidesteps a lot of problems with the built-up extra-biblical chaff that's surrounding the thing these days.
