Yeah, we just use electric heaters, mostly. Sometimes gas. Apparently oil very, very rarely, as per dun's mention, in the sense I've been around for better than two decades and been from one coast to the other and never even heard mention of the stuff before today, never mind actually encountering it.

Solar's been filtering in, too, as temp notes.

So no oil reserves in the back yard, no. Not for water heating, at the least.

E: And yeah, GC, about what I managed to puzzle out while checking. Just somewhat surprised by their existence, since I've ran into them about as much as oil using water heaters (which is to say not once to date).

... heating... oil? What? Are hot water heaters not a thing in ireland?

E: And if they aren't, how the blazes has someone failed to introduce the things to this potential market?

E2: Actually, I don't think I even know exactly what an electric shower is. I'm looking at pictures of the things and it's a device I can't recall having ever encountered.

Actually wouldn't work by rules as written, I think, assuming they're in effect. At some point summoning was clarified such that things specifically summoned can't/won't use effects with an XP cost... such as wish. There's other spells that get around that (stuff that binds or calls, ferex), but using SM 6 or whatev' probably wouldn't work. Planar ally (or whatever it's called) or something might.

In any case, any class was specified. I'm sure there's some prestige class or random splatbook out there with a variant/non-standard class with something that would work. I just don't know what it'd be and ain't about to start looking.

Man, we don't know what hylian wood's like. That stuff might be some kind if magical ironwood or something. Also see previous statement about hitting things with way too much force.

I'm just annoyed that they break easily when hitting Chu's or Bokoblins.
It's not like they got any chitinous exoskeletons, hard scales or something like that.

Chus probably have some acid or somethin' going on, at least. Maybe fooblins just have metallic skeletons or somethin'. Might even explain how stalfos et al have functionally invincible bones, though where that leaves the heads I couldn't say. Could just be whatever's animating them getting rattled apart. We'll just assume link has some kind of trauma based perceptual filter for the mountains of bone and viscera he's leaving behind.

Arms you use as weapons are presumably not breaking per se, just losing connective force and falling apart.

Hell, it would even explain why all keese have 1 hp. They have to have lighter bones in order to maintain flight, so they don't have the metallic aspect, or it's at least significantly lessened.

... mind you, I'm pretty sure it's just game balance/mechanics/etc. But sometimes you just gotta' roll with the explanation. Can keep this up for a while, ahaha.

Here's a link to a mirror of the original article on Manafort. No idea how long it will be good for. https://goo.gl/b3Vfk0

Actually looks like the full thing is back, now that I checked again. Definitely saw the initial change, though. Wonder exactly what's up with that...

Hey man, you take a professionally forged sword to the face of something that trivially tanks what amounts to mining explosives and sometimes survives direct lightning strikes, and see how long that sword lasts

Though personally I'd just blame it on tech degeneration + ganon goop corruption. It can't be healthy to be breathing that stuff, and the blood moons display pretty plainly it's getting basically everywhere. Presumably it's doing weird stuff to durability. Either that or link is just hitting things really goddamn hard. I could see that pretty easily, too. Skinny little bugger pretty clearly has an improbable amount of upper body strength.

Occasionally reading bits of commentary on it, but watching, no. Tbh I... don't really want to hear him speak. Or watch the hearing itself, since I'm pretty certain I'd end up pissed off and knowing no more of substantial import than I already did.

Though to be fair, that's pretty standard for me for most things political or judicial. Listening to the people involved in that stuff talk tends to be more trouble than it's worth. Much prefer to read at leisure. Might look up a transcript at some point if the blighter gets the confirmation, though. Those tend to be both less annoying and over with quicker, heh.

... "most likely." Which means more or less nothing, and that nunes apparently doesn't actually know, but is instead taking a guess at things.

Also neat how the guy that, despite heading the committee he's heading, has had no apparent intelligence training or more than a few years on the committee (and less than two heading it) feels he's qualified to state what information he's seen is of little to no importance. Somehow I'm not sure I'm going to default to buying that from the guy that's been loudly claiming the potential russia ties are unimportant, has no substantial personal history that would suggest he knows what he's looking for, and has a fairly blatant political stake in the issue.

Basically, guy confirmed there was legal surveillance of the folks in question and then proceeded to blow a lot of hot air and make noises that looked like he was saying it wasn't much but was actually saying jack all. Damnit all, if someone's going to talk the ass cover dialect of politician to me, I'd at least like it to be fluent and hard to notice
