So are PowerBall and Mega Millions now rigged to make sure that the jackpot always hits $1B before a winner is drawn?

I’m just going off your first sentence: “Legislating how people use their bodies is wholly wrong.”

Now you’re talking about medical conditions, which means it’s not wholly wrong, it’s conditionally wrong.

So you would repeal laws that prevent 12 year Olds from getting tattoos?

Those flying brain things TERRIFIED me as a teen.

Yuki caused his own puncture today though, right? He hit Perez.

Yeah, I’d love it if the government would do it, but I just don’t see how that would happen since people have voted this country so far to the right that AOC seems like a radical.

I’ve had the idea for a few years now that Delta or a conglomeration of airlines should invest in passenger rail from these small regional airports to the big hubs.

Phoenix has Sky Harbor in the city proper, and then Mesa Gateway only about 20 miles east. If they could just hook the light rail between the two, you could eliminate the need to fly in and out of the small airport.

In Michigan there are DTW, and then small airports in Lansing, Flint, and Grand Rapids. If Delta built rail along or above the freeways that connect those cities to Romulus (where DTW is), they could probably get rid of their service to those airports entirely.

Oh nooooooooooo

Finished the audiobook of Best Served Cold from Joe Abercrombie. I love the narrator for the audiobook, but this one dragged for me. Just started listening to The Heroes and hope that one drags less so I can get caught back up before I start the Age of Madness trilogy.

In print I’m reading Gamechanger by LX Beckett. I’m not in love with it, but it’s getting interesting enough to keep going. If it doesn’t get better I picked up Sea of Dust from C Robert Cargill at the library as well.

Thank, we’re good and I managed to get a generator this morning. 375k people without power in Michigan this morning due to the storm!

What happened? We had a tornado hit nearby last night so no power or home internet to watch this morning’s session.

Literally gave up and sold Scythe because I found the instructions to be convoluted and too difficult to explain to my group

I’m not too worried about it. I like Shadowheart, Karlach, and either Wyll or Gale as the 4th, and I play a version of a Dragonborn Paladin that I recently played in a Foundry Descent to Avernus campaign, so I’m having a blast with it!

Yeah, I don’t have this Astarion that everyone e is talking about, or the Gith from the opening scenes. I’m about to exit the Underdark in Act 1, so I think I just totally missed these two.

Oh well, they’re for the second play through then!

The use of drones in this war is fascinating from afar.

From an American perspective, I keep seeing calls from extremists for a new civil war, and it terrifies me because weaponry like this means shit will go poorly for civilians VERY quickly, even without going nuclear. I imagine that all these kids and young adults who think that playing CoD prepared them for actual war will be in for a big, brief surprise when a drone just deletes them while being operated by some guy in, like, Nevada.

Isn’t he washed at this point?

I missed last week’s game. Did Mims just suck or what?

In 2022, they were my then-12-year-old child’s favorite band, so I took the kiddo to see the band in Milwaukee. Holy shit, they put on a FANTASTIC concert.

Vaporware!

The Stormlight magic system is a lot better than the metal system in Mistborn to me, but the goofiness of using essentially marbles as money just sticks with me. I just picture Adolin constantly walking around with like a cartoon money sack from a bank filled with spheres.
