I think you mean between Holmes and Watson.

I was just pondering the Google analytics. The top hits, almost every month are celebrities. This had been going to be a thread about how society is doomed. Then I had a thought: Is this just poor quality analytics? If I want to know about nutrition I might put in any search query, and someone else might put in something else. "How many calories in..." or "How bad is fried chicken..." or "RDA of vitamin b" But if I want to know about a celebrity I put in their name and just their name. Consequently, all the celebrity searches get high rankings. But even if health is the key in people's minds, then that interest is subdivided and appears lower down the rankings.

Before you ask, I'm the fat one.

If anyone here knows the Traveller system, we're going to be running a first time campaign (new to me as NPC wrangler assistant to the GM). Our first mission is set aboard a Rama sized System Compliance System, the Rumsfeld class ship Regime Change. System Compliance Systems are designed to take away the 'home advantage' when pacifying a planetary system, by delivering a continent-worth of firepower, troops, and manufacturing capacity. A Rumsfeld is a creature of pre-Imperial myth that would speak in riddles then strike down people at random by staring at them. The players will be required to sort out an issue with manufacturing of a product. I don't want to go into spoilers, but I'm going to need some: - workers - a couple of interesting agents provocateur - some ship's marines - a squad of aliens - some gangsters

I loved the quirkiness aspect. But isn't this a bit late to be throwing requirements at the devs?

Good luck.

I'm only asking because I'm interested. how would you functionally describe 'full access'?

I've noticed the truth of something I knew already on scientific terms: being over-tired makes one hungry, and inclines one to over-eat without satiety. EDIT: Toast bacon in chilli, oil, and garlic. Remove bacon and eat. You deserve it. Keep the oil. Add chunks of beef shin. Add spices of choice. I used cumin, turmeric, ground mace, cloves, fenugreek, all in generous quantities. Oil should be about 2-5 mm deep by end of browning shin. If too shallow add some more. Add finely chopped red pepper, let go crispy and brown in the hot oil. Then let go soft and caramelised. Add plenty of chopped fresh tomato. keep on a high heat until the tomato goes soft. Add some thyme and salt. Reduce heat to very low temperature, cover and let simmer for an hour. Serve with white rice.

Although causality is linear in time, is emotion obliged to be linear?

I'm very very happy to discuss the question of ww1 generalship, but I'd like to know what the relevance is to Russia first.

Spine concertina'd. Re-reading notebooks, trying to synthesise the week's work.

Well, you make a good case for your initial reaction. And I can't object to your empathising with the poor bastards. But you're not focussing in enough by saying the Russians are proud of their war. Yes, the Russian people are. But the State was not the people. Which is the core monstrous presumption of communism. It's a state for the people, where the last thing they trust or listen to is the people.

Welcome! Judging from your backing, and your apology, you appear to be both a patron of the arts and a gentleman. Well done.

I'll but a slice of your theory about the villains driving the stories. But I'd add that I've never liked the Marvel villains. Or the other one. You can't have a credible evil, wearing a cape.

This isn't you failing to go to sleep. This is you failing to stay awake, having sex and drinking bourbon.

Nice to see you couldn't be arsed to read the article. Just launched into a little diatribe about the BBC. They specifically state that - in the opinion of the people trying to inter the dead properly - there was a deliberate policy of kicking over the traces. If have any idea how hard the war graves commission works to try and find and preserve war graves on across Allied operations... Sure some get missed and are ploughed up. But huge efforts were made to avoid it.

Perhaps a more logical thing would be to charge $15 but you have to complete 5 mock bug test reports.

Catching up on Viperkeeper on Youtube. He's absolutely legendary, and worth watching. Live snakes. Live nerd. In mortal weirdness.

You're assuming - and I think you are very VERY wrong - that all beta testers are the same. Releasing to people who pony up extra means they have an investment in testing properly. Filing bugs etc. Giving to everyone and their dog is just going to blow surprises and generate ill-informed negative comment from people who don't understand what a beta is and don't care.

No way you can combine the two?

But not every blast is AlQies.

Massively run down, and have cold. Finally realised that if I have a day where everyone asks me if I'm alright then I'm probably going to go down ill the next day.

Why have you got rails on the end if you aren't going to do any further adaptations?

And, since the BBC 'uncovered' her today.

Expensive route to trolling.
