There’s a completely different set of assumptions outside the US.

Canadian, British, Australian and New Zealand.

No. I live in New Zealand, we don’t have any native tree-dwelling mammals. A few uninvited ecological pests like Australian possums. We ask them politely, but firmly, to leave.

I haven’t got a joke, how about a tongue twister?

“When a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, there’s a packet pocket socket racket error to report.”

Invest it in companies positioned to take advantage of a glut of server RAM hitting the market in about 18 Months.

At the bottom of a flooded cave. Cave-divers can do everything right and still die in a hole.

People seem to have strong feelings about Wattpad. What did they do?

Seems like a pretty good guiding principle, unless you’re the kind of self-serving muppet who skims philosophy texts to find reasons why it’s ethically okay to behave like a selfish dick.

The Death Star is a weapon you can live in. It’s an important consideration.

Maybe I don’t want it faster and cleaner…

Then I choose the pistol (given the name Rimpoche by an AI Bhudda) from Redrobe by Jon Courtenay Grimwood. It provides target identification, auto-aim and sarcasm.

One of the Lazy Guns from Against A Dark Background by Iain M. Banks. Point at target. Pull trigger. Target is destroyed in some ridiculous way, like having a piano fall on it.

But don’t point it at the sun. It doesn’t like that.

I’ll take some garlic knots, thanks. Next time’s on me.

Especially if they use it to ask for steak well done.

“The DM hated me”…

There’s playing a quirky character, and then there’s refusing to engage with the premise of the game and spoiling the fun for everyone else. Hope this guy read the room carefully before pulling this stunt.

I know a vegan who has ex-battery hens as pets. She’s against taking eggs away from them because it may cause distress, but often they’ll lay an egg wherever they happen to be, and walk away. Those ones are fair game because the chickens have abandoned them, and they need to be collected before they rot in any case.

Imagine Brian Brown as Gandalf.
