@Cobaltasaurus I don't have any links yet since I'm on mobile right now but try Google, search for something like "Alabama to Seattle roundtrip" and then look for leaving and returning dates in August and September. Looking in those two months I'm seeing prices in the upper 200s/lower 300s for a round-trip.

@Darinelle said in Accounting for gender imbalances:

I hope she was the most qualified but if she WAS the most qualified and you DO hire her I do not envy the conversation you'll have to have with whoever that idiot was.

The conversation should have already taken place.

And probably should have started with a more professional version of, "Don't be a dick," and potentially ended with a call to HR.

@insomniac7809 said in Fandom and entitlement:

I really don't think the Harry Potter films are at risk of losing $10mil unless the premier is literally shown on a rapidly-sinking raft made entirely out of $100 bills that is also on fire, and even then they'd probably break even.

From what I've heard, China won't even show a movie with an explicitly gay relationship in it. So yeah, the US returns might actually go up a little if a Harry Potter movie showed an explicitly gay relationship in it, but there would be no China returns, and that'll take a huge chunk out of international box office right there.

@Chet

I can certainly take a look at them. I can't guarantee what timeframe I can respond to anything in (been busy-ish). I'll drop a PM here shortly with my writing/professional email account that you can toss things at. 🙂

@insomniac7809 Oh it was terrible, but I own it and I watch it like once a month. XD

@silverfox You just realized that's the best course of action? 🙂

@Lotherio Your mother lovebone brought me back to "Say Hello 2 Heaven" By Temple of the dog.

@Thenomain I've had it recommended to me previously! It looks great.

@dvoraen 80 Bronze?

C'mon, Gold rated or nothing.

When I went I loved the Rockefeller Tour because they took us through some really interesting art.

A bit more of a 'your budget and interest may vary' thing, but if you like theatre, I would highly highly recommend Sleep No More if walking around a converted warehouse with hundreds of things to discover while film noir Macbeth happens around you is your thing (no description I can give will do it justice)

Gotta use the washroom before my commute. Every single time I'm in a rush and skip the pre-emptive counterstrike, the train has a delay of some sort and I'm dying by the time I get anywhere. Also, doing step calculations in these situations seems to make it worse.

I got to see GnR during the Use Your Illusion tour, it was awesome! They were walking out of shows left and right on that tour, but they played for nearly 3 hours when they came to my town.

Also, I got to see SUB HUM ANS last summer, too, they were amazing, if it wasn't for the singer making fun of two narbos in the crowd, I would have sworn they were lipsyncing it was so good.

From the 7th Sea Kickstarter list, and probably a bunch of other places:

As of April 2, Chaosium, publishers of the award-winning tabletop roleplaying games Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, and King Arthur Pendragon, has acquired the rights to 7th Sea. I'm joining Chaosium as line editor and will continue to have creative oversight of the game, and will remain a principal author of 7th Sea material going forward. Beyond that, I'll also be writing for other Chaosium game lines.

This is fantastic. I will trust Chaosium with caring for 7th Sea as it exists, and am super-glad that John Wick has a steady gig again.

And maybe Chaosium is willing to front a lot of the cost for the 7th Sea Board Game, or make it cheaper to produce for their next attempt. Or maybe it's time to let it go. It's up to them.

Best of luck, John.

@PuppyBreath the lone deserted highway east of Omaha, not so deserted with all the people trying to get out of the city on weekends ing Loess hills for recreation or wineries. This was a crazy winter, I still use a shovel and got a his five foot pile at the end of the driveway this year.
