Oh that sounds like fun.

Oh they could have. To be honest I’m not sure why they didn’t.

Exactly. It’s not that it’s a small amount. It’s the “why”.

What did I mess up and is it going to require a team of people to prove there isn’t some nefarious thing going on.

Same reason you get mailed a 12 cent check that cost them more than 0.12. It makes the books make sense and if the check expires then the amount moving into the right account then also makes sense.

So they can sign off on the numbers as being correct.

Or any company. Accountants absolutely hate Pennies missing. Dollars are easier to stomach but Pennies makes them nervous that some miscalculation that signals a bigger issue is going on.

cat eyes
cat: no such file or directory

This is inappropriate on so many levels:

• If there are eyes and you touch them it’s wrong.
• If a person doesn’t have eyes touching where they are isn’t going to be a winning strategy either
• If you touch a file in Linux called eyes and create it people will be very confused
• If there’s already an existing file called eyes that’s disturbing. What? Why?

Ah yes. When you need help call the SORA.

You’ll know it’s ok when you hear them arrive with a “Kachow!”

SpongeBob SquarePants Gary Takes a Bath Full Episode - Starting at 46seconds

“…there’s a bomb strapped to my chest…” would probably not go over well in an airport

Can’t focus on anything but highly adaptable to every scenario. Ha!

Reminds me of this… which is so perfectly animated with the constant shift in focus.

Please help us. Our village suffers raids every night.

Uh huh. But first, how many people live here?

[jots down notes]

And how many are attacking you?

DM: So… boost to perception for the entire party?

Possibly to deal with the ozone things like this can produce.

Find a pair of gloves you love and use Conductive thread sewn in an x pattern a few times. Works great.

I did! That’s how I learned it started as a character for ads.

A great character. Also, the micro machines guy has to be included in the Advengers.

It’s so weird how the character went from being an ad campaign to beloved tv and movie character.

It would be like the guy who smashed appliances saying “prices? smashed! Our competitors?! SMASHED!!!” Having a solo acting career.

Which leads me to cinematic perfection. The Advengers. A group of TV ad characters joining forces to save the world from an unstoppable force. A fed up Maytag repair man.

Don’t forget other such lovable characters as Local Town Attorney, Late Night blade master and their dauntless leader cable access QVC knockoff host.

Then start turning rancid the next year

Do I answer? Yes I do!

If you like Sazed there’s some interesting twists coming for him.

For Vin you come to realize she’s less of a hero and more a pawn in various groups using her winning the genetic lottery.

Now… if you like characters that struggle with trauma. Way of Kings has a very troubled protagonist.

But yeah. As for sci-fi (especially ones that can span years) you might like Alastair Reynolds Revelation Space series.

Any good sci-fi suggestions?

ba-da-ba-ba-bug. I’m loving it.

Part of what makes Klein’s Don’t Starve game so quirky and fun is the rampant use of creatures that are portmanteau’s of other creatures.

Personally I loved it but if you’ve finished 2 of them and it’s not resonating with you I won’t push you to read something you’re not enjoying.

I will say that I listened to them and maybe an audiobook will be more enjoyable.

But if you want to try something else in the Cosmere with a different flavor you could try one of these and not have any huge spoilers to the overall story (kind of like watching Ant-man or Black panther in the cinematic universe before any of the other films.)

Tress of the Emerald Sea (more adventure/fantasy, less magical heist and the consequences of that)

Warbreaker (more of a mystery/intrigue)

Yumi and the Nightmare painter (not sure how to describe it but people from 2 different worlds experiencing the other and learning to work with and support the others challenges, etc). This way you can see if it might just be the Mistborn era 1 books or maybe he’s not your cup of tea. I will say that Era 2 is (like I mentioned) very different in tone, etc. same world but centuries later.

If you don’t mind me asking what kind, if any, of fantasy books do you like?
