  1. I think a lot of people are experiencing similar issues. I know a lot of people at work, for example, had dual monitor setups but don't have that at home.
  2. I read an elaborate conspiracy theory yesterday regarding hospitals and liberals in the government conspiring to classify all deaths, regardless of manner, as COVID so as to make Trump look bad by inflating the numbers of a virus that is basically just the flu. The mind boggled.
  3. Paper plates and cups haven't been bad here, but towels and napkins are unless you want store brand paper towels ("now with 2/3 less paper towels than competing brands!") or ****tail napkins (which, i guess would still work). Skipped them though cause we weren't out in hopes preferred stuff would show up.
  4. ^good for you. Can't get paper towels, paper napkins, or hand sanitizer locally myself
  5. I should rewatch that when I get done rewatching the 80s William Tell series, CROSSBOW.
  6. Spock isn't a full Vulcan so shouldn't be seen as a template for the race. So his reactions in Amok Time can't be assumed to be typical. If you look at Phase II, Xon shows a lot of the pre-retcon approach to Vulcans - in essence he is Phase II's Data, trying to understand, and even fake, emotions he didnt have in a vain attempt to understand the human crew. Sybok is a fair point, though, coming about a year before the "Sarek" episode and also retconning Amanda Grayson as Sarek's second wife. Iirc. So perhaps it can be seen as the beginning of Vulcans-are-humans-with-pointy-ears-and-an-unhealthy-fixation-on-surpressing-emotions.
  7. Eh, Trek Cannon's been broke since they retconned the nature of Vulcans with the TNG episode "Sarek". You'll get used to it after 20-30 years.
  8. Aw, man. 'Curly' Neal was a fave on the 70s Globtrotters. He was, as I recall a magnificent dribbler. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2919468001 Edit: Mark Blum was good as the sort-of antagonist in Crocodile Dundee. RIP to both men.
  9. Playwright Terrence McNally and Italian actress Lucia Bosè both of complications of COVID-19 Director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond) passed away of undisclosed reasons. Actor David Collings (Doctor Who, Blakes 7, Miss Marple) also passed away suddenly.
  10. Pull out an old VHS from the 80s to watch a program from 40 years ago and get a kick out of the kooky ads. ...assuming you still have a VHS and VHS player and you kept an old program you taped...
  11. Its from Airplane! And don't call me 'Shirley'.
  12. Please remember to treat each other with respect. If you can't keep things that way post will be deleted, as will obvious troll posts and posts that circumvent the swear filter.
  13. I'm not saying there aren't good things; Rule 0 is keep what you like and modify the rest. But if you're having fun with the rules as is, minor quibbles aside...
  14. Eh...I've always played with groups that "Rule 0"ed stuff we didn't like or didn't want to deal with. If the game rules aren't fun for the group (including the DM) they gotta change.
