Lord Liaden appears to be correct. I searched the online store's catalog and only found it available as a physical book. Scanning your book might be the only option.

To those of you installing Windows 10 despite the red flags, don't come crying to me when it goes Order 66 on you. And with that, I'm bowing out of this thread.

(Yes, I kinda stole this idea from the SCP Foundation.) Your character and associates come across a strange-looking vending machine that just seems to have appeared in Campaign City Park overnight. A sticker on the side of the machine reads "Pandimensional Vending Company." Purely out of curiosity, a member of the party puts in some money or swipes a credit card and presses some random alphanumeric keys. The machine makes a whirring sound and then dispenses (roll a d20 and consult below): A can of Coca-Cola. The soda in the can is entirely normal. The only thing unusual is the can design, which appears to have text in both English and another language no one seems to recognize. A packet of "Pharaoh's Pyramids: Pyramid-Shaped Snacks." The art work on the packaging consists of a cartoon Pharaoh, a desert background, and some palm trees and pyramids. The contents of the packet are indeed small pyramid shapes and have a taste and texture similar to Sour Cream And Onion Pringles. Both English text and Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics are printed on the packet. A pack of "Icy Cool Mint" gum. The person who chews a piece temporarily gains an icy-cold breath attack that can instantly freeze anything they blow on at close range. A bottle of "Mountain Dew: Supernova." The soda inside is yellow and has kind of a starfruit taste to it. Other than that, nothing particularly unusual about the item. A packet of "General Custer's Buffalo Jerky." The taste is similar to Jack Links, though a bit heavier on the spice. A bottle of "Tentacle Grape" soda. A pack of "Red Hot Cinnamon" gum. The person who chews a piece temporarily gains the ability to breathe fire! A red orb roughly the size of a golf ball, wrapped in transparent plastic. If taken out of the wrapper and licked or sucked on, it tastes like Cherries Jubilee. If the person continues to lick or suck on it for more than a few minutes, the orb will start to glow and then suddenly burst into a colorful fireworks display (and may do EB 4d6 Explosion to the person holding it if they don't immediately toss it away). . A small, transparent cube containing a small amount of dirt and some kind of worms. The labeling on the the cube is in a language no one in your party knows how to read. A bottle of Romulan Ale. Actual Romulan Ale. Naturally, the person who drinks it becomes intoxicated. A packet of "Chocolate Bob-ombs." Inside are little chocolates shaped like the Bob-omb enemies from the Super Mario Bros games. Printed on the packet is text that reads: "In Celebration Of The Mario Franchise's 10,000th Anniversary." The candies are otherwise entirely normal. A small, silver canister, roughly the size and shape of a CO2 cartridge like those used in air rifles. If someone removes the cap and taps on the bottom of the canister, a cone of pink, watermelon-scented mist sprays out of the nozzle. A bottle of Crystal Pepsi. According to a date on the label, it was bottled recently, just a month ago! A box of Animal Crackers. Most of the crackers are shaped like normal, recognizable animals, a few are shaped like Eldrich Abominations! A frozen "Waffle And Bacon Breakfast Sandwich" Instructions on the wrapper say to heat it for 3-5 minutes in the microwave. Text on the packaging is half in English and half in Japanese. The sandwich is delicious, and has a hint of maple syrup flavor to it. A can of "Protoculture Cola." The can design features an Invid Scout Trooper being shot at by a Veritech fighter (Robotech franchise). The soda inside tastes pretty much like any other generic cola. A bottle of "Captain Picard's Hard Earl Grey." It's Earl Grey tea mixed with synthohol. A packet of "Gummy Shogoths." They come in assorted fruit flavors. A pack of "Beelze-Bubble" bubblegum. The packaging features a cartoon demon blowing a pink bubble. A tag line beneath the product name reads: "The Long-Lasting Bubblegum Flavor You'll Sell Your Soul For." The person who chews a piece will spontaneously grow two little horns on their forehead and a barbed tail roughly 1 meter long. A can of "Zip Cola." The person who drinks it temporarily gains 30 DEX, 10 SPD and 50" Running! WWYCD?

Actually, Linux has gotten a lot more user-friendly since the old days. I've recently taken LinuxMint and Ubuntu for test drives via Live CDs and had no problems with them. In fact, a friend told me LinuxMint in particular was one of the better "Training Wheels Distros."

For now, I'm sticking with Windows 7, and later I'll be looking into a switch to either LinuxMint or Ubuntu. Hopefully I'll be able to continue using my applications and games via Wine.

After a great many disturbing things have been brought to my attention, I no longer want to "upgrade." Is there some way I can tell the "Get Windows 10" icon on my bottom bar to piss off?

Color me not surprised.

One question, and forgive me if someone else already addressed it: What (other than limited lifespan) would prevent a species of squid- or octopus-like creatures from developing higher-order intellect?

Q: What was that explosion? And why is that Dodge Dart airborne? A: Achievement Unlocked: Killed By A Gazebo.

Deviled Ham: Slang for demon-possessed villains, especially the ones who are megalomaniacs.

Let me see if I got this straight: they damned nearly killed this guy over a slice of pizza? *facepalm*

Anita deserves every bit of hatred she gets. She's a miserable excuse for a human being.

Hey, at least Jack was (unintentionally) amusing every now and then; Anita just makes you want to dropkick her into lunar orbit sans spacesuit.

Expecting intellectual honesty from Anita Sar-sleezy-en is like expecting to get blood from a stone.

Knuckle-Dragging Moron Cop: "Why you no have clothes under towel?" Oh, I don't know, MAYBE SHE JUST GOT OUT OF THE $#%@ING SHOWER, YOU BRAINLESS WASTE OF OXYGEN!!!!!!!!!!!

At the very least, I'm going to create a fresh back-up of my current operating system before I consider it; I want to be prepared in the event the Windows 10 "upgrade" f**ks something up.

Stoicism may not necessarily be a defense against tickling. While there's still debate over whether it's a psychological response or a physiological response, quite a few experts' opinions are leaning towards physiological. The most common ticklish spots are usually on the torso and neck, and also happen to be areas of vulnerability that a predator or a trained fighter would likely attack in close quarters combat. Also of note, there is some overlap between the ticklish areas of the body and the erogenous zones.

It's also possible they're just scumbags who get off on killing defenseless pets, laughing in the face of devastated pet owners who had to watch helplessly as the life of their beloved animal companion was taken right in front of them, and knowing they'll never be brought up on charges for it. But don't worry, an ever ravenous pack of demon hounds await such miscreants in Hell. When those so-called "police officers" shuffle off their mortal coils, they can look forward to a painful eternity of their souls (or what laughably passes for such) being ripped, shredded, and torn into little pieces; over, and over, and over again. Because that's what Hell is all about: repetition.

Q: How do you defeat an enraged Anita Sarkesian? A: Neither dogs nor humans are allowed in the dog park.

In addition to body cameras, I find myself of the opinion that cops should have a remote-triggerable high-voltage device implanted in their rectums. First time they commit so much as a tiny abuse their authority, they get 10,000,000 volts up the ass.

If he had killed someone's pet, he would've got off with a slap on the wrist; if even that much.

Happy 4th of July to all WWYCD readers.
