if you don't tip, you won't get it. We have had nontipping food wait for Doordash an hour, but tipped food go almost before we can make it.

I'm astonished that anyone uses those services tbh. Food is already expensive enough, then you add the delivery fee on top of that and the mandatory tip on top of that, all so you can get lukewarm food in more time than it would have taken you to go out and get it yourself. If you get it at all.

It's never too late to start believing in yourself. For example, Vlad the Impaler didn't start impaling people till his thirties.

At least the Terminator isn't shy about its intention to destroy the human race.

Jim Henson may not have invented all of the Muppets, but he sure had a hand in all of them.

Old Man reacted to unclevlad in Wizards of the Coast Announces One D&D
I picked up more 3rd Ed sourcebooks than I can count...WotC and others. VERY FEW of them had as much as 10% useful (to me) content. And the class splatbooks? Probably none of em. This was also back when many of the classbooks, say, where softback and black and white...not hardback and color, and therefore significantly more expensive.
Seems to me that Hasbro should actually mine their records...what's getting purchased individually? That's your customer feedback right there. It may be that there aren't many insights to draw...or, more likely, that they don't have the data people or data mining tools to do the job. In general...when would they have had the need to do it?
Nope. Sounds like they took the bean counter route. Screen Rant has a similar article, altho more coherent, and limited to the removal of a la carte purchases. They make the point it may well cost them money, as many players won't buy the books at all...or FAR fewer...and they'll look elsewhere.

The most impressive aurora I've ever seen was back in '95. It was towards the end of my time as a conscript, November, on a maneuver out in the backend of nowhere. We were playing opfor to some ranger types, so we didn't have much to do apart from looking lively. Nighttime in the fall, no lights around, sitting in a guard post, with this lightshow going on for hours all over the sky -- it was all jolly impressive.

To revisit the container discussion for a bit--the average volume of a human cranium is 1.4L. Feel free to use this new knowledge as you see fit.

It's been amusing and tragic to watch that situation get so thoroughly mishandled by everyone involved. From the students demanding permanent peace in the middle east (points for dreaming big I guess) to the college administrators who, presumably at the urging of their big donors, went straight to the jackboots. All while Putin's troll farms fan the flames on both sides.
Meanwhile, children are dying.

That's a hell of a storm. I'll look for it later when it's dark, though I have to say if the Northern Lights reach all the way down here to 22 degrees-and-change of latitude, civilization might have ended.
