Crown of Good Buggy.

Crafted by a demented druid as a gift for a princess on her birthday. It was quickly regifted to a adventurer.

Once a day when the command word is spoken while worn on the head 10 bugs come quickly crawling out of the crown. Make a dex check -10 to see how many you catch (max 10) the rest skitter off.

Each bug lives a day and while alive can be eaten for 1hp healing and provides a full day of nutrition. The bugs taste of raspberry cream.

TNG season 3. The first two sessions are pretty rough. Start with 3. If you ever do a rewatch then try starting with season 1. Then try DS9.

TOS is good if you can handle the very low budget look.

More then 3 planets.

Recasting one actor for a character that race isn’t an important characteristic isn’t white washing.

The problem with Into Darkness is how bad the writing and acting are. They took one of the most popular Star Trek movies and remade it badly.

Presumably Alex Kurtzman.

The worst justice department so far.

The Hector cinematic universe.

Fair

Springtime for Hitler. Somewhat fits. It’s an intentional failure that succeeded.

Popular boondoggle is a term we used to use at work. I’ve never herd it used outside that job though.

Sunk cost fallacy is when you use previous expenditures to justify new expenditures so as not to “waste” the previous expenditure. It doesn’t imply the idea gets more popular like op is looking for.

Gums like guar and xanth. In small amounts they make ice cream better and help keep ice crystals small. I use them in my homemade ice cream.

Used in larger amounts they replace fat at the cost of taste and mouth feel. That’s what makes the ice cream stay a gel at room temp.

I loved the idea and humor of the cult management part. Unfortunately most of the the game is terrible hack and slash dungeon combat. I refunded it after an hour.

Trump got about a million less votes than 4 years ago. Harris got about 15 million less. So the population didn’t swing right 15 million Biden voters said fuck it and stayed home.

Everyone said this was going to be a close race. So we can’t even use the Clinton excuse that nobody thought Trump would win.

She was a bad candidate with no message beyond Trump bad. That was enough for me but not 15 million other people.

There was a lot going on. The final count used had bush up by 537 votes out of 5.8 million cast. The close margin triggered a recount and Bush dropped to 327 vote lead.

Nadar probably cost the democrats more votes then republicans by greater then that 327. But there were other things that hurt Gore. Some intentional some random.

There were ballot design issues. In areas where the butterfly ballot was used Buchanan (who was also a 3rd party candidate) got way more votes than elsewhere. So if you wanted Gore saw him under Bush and selected the dot below you voted for Buchanan. See below.

Bush. O

/ O Buchanan

Gore. O

In another democratic area the ballot had the presidential race split on the front and back page. 21,000 votes were invalidated because they had multiple selections for president.

There was a large purge of mostly black felon voters. 15% weren’t felons.

Then there were lawsuits trying to stop and start recounts in both state and federal court. The state supreme court ordered recounts while they decided if the recount should be used. Then they decided the recount should be used and set a date it was du. Then the US supreme court stopped the recount. Several days later they decided there wasn’t time for a recount and ordered the Bush ahead by 537 count to be used.

So honestly it probably took all the above to swing the final count to Bush from Gore. I’m guessing if any one had not happened Gore would have been president.

A personal note I live in Florida and that was the first election I voted in. My vote for president has never be closer to making a difference in who was president. It’s shaped my views on elections and voting.

It’s a famous quote. The contradiction is intentional. It means democracy has a lot of problems and often looks terrible. However when you step back and consider the alternatives they are worse.

That man should have been a DP. He is so good at visuals but can’t handle a story better then a 5 year old.

In addition to what you said fiber is an important part of poop. An not just as stuff to push through the tract.

A important function of the liver is body detox. One way the liver does that is to package chemicals so they bind to fiber and get flushed out of the system. Lack of fiber can cause those chemicals to stick around and cause more problems.

This isn’t correct. Even when someone who has lost weight hits caloric balance they stay hungry. Fat cells produce hunger signals when it’s at lower than it’s previous stored energy levels.

It takes several years for fat cells to adapt to the new normal and not try to reach their previous levels.

Some people can see classified systems and some can’t.

We should have totally called it a unit test.

So the area for this was used for both training of soldiers and demos for people without security clearances. So it frequently had to be switched between the two. So you get everything setup and ready.

As a last test you drop the unit in and blam it. Then you go to each system and check the unit status. If it’s ok you are good to demo to civilians.

A unit test wouldn’t work because it’s a deployment situation and a lot the software wasn’t under our control. A lot of time it was just making sure the DIS HLA gateway was properly configured and entities remapped.
