Why were you in Cleveland, though? It sounds like a terrible place to visit...

What kind of society we would have if we removed or added entitlements is an important question (that would take us to yet another topic in this already absurd thread). But it's not necessarily the case that we would become an agrarian society. Yes, not having roads would certainly be...

Well, I couldn't agree more about housing loans, electronics, and most stuff, really. But I think access to medical care should be a different discussion, because it has different consequences. One can do without a car. I live in a part of the country where it's inconvenient, but hey, life isn't...

*Cugel will shoot them if he can get a shot in. If not, he'll draw his sword and prepare to engage in melee if these can paralyze like the other bunch.

-Kelgar blesses Carrow with Vanquish. Carrow has an extra attack this turn. -Carrow shoots at the spiders, but his arrow misses and lands in one of the webs instead. -Carrow skewers a spider with a perfect shot. -Dorgath lobs a bomb at the spiders, taking care to get it so that Throg is not in...

"I think we should backtrack and then take the unexplored path behind us."

Beneath the mountains, in the darkest deepest caves, lurk the giant spiders. Their bodies are covered by thick, horny chitinous plates, and their fangs drip nerve-shattering venom. Huddled in the darkness, they lie in wait, spinning webs to ensnare their unsuspecting victims. The spiders...

I don't know what brings you to that conclusion, but I was saying that (excluding native speakers) not very many of the people I met while traveling in Germany and Austria learned German. So you think that they constitute a subset that is actually more inclined to learn German than other people...

Getting back to this belatedly (I would have the day after I got back from vacation, which was a week ago, but some circumstances got in the way). The room is dusty and grimy, with spider's webs cloaking the corners and old bones scattered across the floor. In one corner is a large wooden...

I'm afraid I don't follow... Ah, I see. In general, that seems sensible enough, although I can't help but wonder when circumstances would make it unfeasible or at least problematic. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that problem diminishes with distance.

I'm not on a shared computer. I think the New York Times website is just insane sometimes. I experienced some issues with it a while back, but I'd forgotten about that. Anyway... The thing that amazes me about it is this. For a while now I've been saying that we'd eventually have cars that...

Well, I do think there's definitely something to this and that Americans seem more averse to learning multiple languages than people on average. However, on my trip I stayed in hostels in two German-speaking countries (and one English speaking country). There were always people from around the...

But I'm here legally! And also rather difficult to throw through a window, but if you're skilled enough I commend you (and hope that it's a first-story window).

You're the second person I've had say he couldn't access this article. I don't know what's different about it for me that would let me view it and not other people. I certainly haven't registered on the NYT website... Trying a different link, but it might still not work for some people. I have...

And I'll say to you what I narrowly avoided saying to customs: Oh, just deport me. Also, I don't understand Spanish.

Mein Urlaub war prima.

And I'm back!

I was... ...I've got nothing.
