If they've been renting places for very long, they're probably cursing you considerably less than the ones that don't say anything and just let the place fall to shit. Money now tends to be considerably cheaper than money later, when it comes to houses. Also, knowing about incoming buggerups in advance, instead of when a wall collapses or somethin', is simply golden.

'Course, if they haven't been renting for very long, they might not have had someone stay mum followed by an explosion of some sort. Then, they would probably curse you well out of ignorance for how much worse it could be.

E: Mind you, I've only known a handful of renter folks, but they tend to think well of the people that warn them the roof is about to collapse, rather than the ones that wait until it does. Or worse, don't say anything and let the landlord find out after they leave.

Better with 'em than against 'em I suppose.
... what about a five on five techies mirror match, though?

Or is that one of those moments where the only winning move is to not play?

Gman, you magnificent bastard. One of my scouts eats two mind hunts and dies and suddenly forge is gone. Beautiful. I tip my shiny turtleshell hat to you.

Read it out loud, in a funny accent, while dancing a jig. Maybe do a little improv based on whatever the topic at the moment is.

It. It helps.

On the bright side, N, I think you've learned the lesson not to hire orkin anymore. Evidentially whatever branch they're operating in your area kinda' suck.

If you've got a way to get through the encryption (you... did have the key or whatev' backed up somewhere else, right?), you can probably just get a hard drive dock. Cheap one runs around 20-30 USD, iirc.

Yes, but today, it is considerably less likely to be caused by the runs.

Major. Improvement.

And today the alcohol is better and more copious. Also you can drink other things without dying.

Silly LW, human civilization is clearly locked in a time-loop. The time-machines will be revealed soon so we can go back in time again.
Go back in time to the period of cholera, dysentery, lack of indoor plumbing, paucity of porn, no air conditioning, no internet, halved life spans, no eye glasses, no pretty much everything that makes existence something actually approaching enjoyable... no. Fuck that. The past was shit. The present may be shit, too, but the past was grade-A Tyrannosaurus Rex-sized pile of dook. Now we only have chickens.

You can keep your time machines, I'll keep modern medicine and easily accessible lube. I don't want to be tempted to resort to pederasty to keep from going insane. Whatever the reason was the greeks et al indulged, anyway.

Today, my parents came to the conclusion that I could be having nighttime epilepsy from too much computer usage from the fact that I did not sleep well.
Are they board certified sleep physicians? No? Invested many hours and significant time studying the subject and talking with such individuals? No? Then they can stfu or get you to a sleep clinic to find out from someone who actually knows what the hell they're talking about.

Sweet zeus but non-doctors pulling bullshit non-diagnoses, especially when they've put zero seconds of study into the subject, is a rage worthy thing. Doubly so when it's a fairly transparent attempt to be a jackass.

Or, to put it another way, the only state in the US with a lower population density is Alaska. The next highest (montana) is pretty close, though. The one above that is close to double wyoming's.

Also jeez, freaking DC. S'apparently nearly ten bloody times the density of the next smallest area in the states. 1764.8 times the density of wyoming. Also a larger population.

Why do we even have wyoming? Shouldn't we just kick everyone out and make it a nature preserve or something? Might cause the population density to go up, if we did.

17397
Quantum entanglement. It's not actually a person in wyoming, it's just a box. There is an actual person, inside an identical box, in DC. That person gives the orders. That way, the orders come out of wyoming, but there's someone there to hear them, too.

All those numbers and you don't even bother to mention that anything dropped to -10 or lower by the spell gets disintegrated, too. 305-1830 damage that turns you into dust.

And then comes the metamagic feats :3

... just want to say, The Games We Play is escalating like goddamn. Poor J-dude.

E: Ooh, ACP also got a word count breakdown in the SV thread. Total of 347329 words, so far. Which is kinda' impressive.

Screw consoles. DF doesn't run on consoles. If it did, the sheer number and impracticality of the menus would compact into some kind of singularity anyway.
Pretty sure it could run on consoles. Iirc, they had linux running on one of the more recent playstations. You got that, plus one of those plug in keyboards, and you're good to go. Doubt it would run well, considering the hardware, but it'd probably run.
