So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

I can verify that Akheir works in Surveillance surveillance, as I myself work in the field of counter-surveillance surveillance.

   Its really annoying too. Also as a general warning to those in Surveillance, if you find a cat and it starts following you don't let it follow you home. It is a trap.

   No one oversees the Overseers though they do oversee the overseers. The capitalization on the O is important as it gives them the highest ranking. Now someone may watch or monitor them but no one oversees them.

Fixed, but I meant the second Overseer as a title and thus capitalized.

   Yes but in the dark world of watching others by various synonyms for that, titles do not get auto capitalization. For instance only The Secret gets to be The Secret, other secrets are the secret or even just a secret.

Picture alt-text: "I may be the kind of person who wastes a year implementing a Turing-complete computer in Dwarf Fortress, but that makes you the kind of person who wastes ten more getting that computer to run Minecraft."

Did whats-their-face ever finish building that thing? And does that mean it was Randall Munroe the whole time? I wonder...

You're all filthy ninjas. Good I checked to see if this thread was made. Also good to know I have fellow travelers up in the early AM checking XKCD as soon as a new comic releases.

   Heh, I have basically my whole bookmark bar filled with webcomics which I check at midnight. Not Schlock's Mercenary though, I check that one around 10 to 11 because it updates around then instead of midnight.

   I used to have a lot more but then a number of them went into the hiatus of death. The difference of course is that I then got more.

I checked to see if this thread existed and it didn't.

But I didn't make it because I had nothing interesting to say.
