The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

The pizza place I worked at never had a single complaint about the Teriyaki slice of the day*. Our regular pizzas with pepperoni or the other usual ingredients would have them once in a while. Focus on the problem areas!!!

...

* I cannot verify that a single human being actually ever ordered or tried.one, but that's beside the point.

Digital is just as evergreen, if not more so, than physical.

Major museums and archives have entire departments associated with curation and maintenance of digital historical assets, because formats change over time. There's a dozen and more word processor formats that have gone the way of cuneiform. Same for images. If you don't repeatedly update digital archives, they will eventually become unreadable.

And that's not even getting into bitrot on digitally stored materials.

Overall, digital formats have been around for about 50 years. Printed formats go back to... the printing press. I daresay that "quantum format" may well come along eventually, and digital format will become a thing of the past...

This Be The Verse

But they were naughty word up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats.

And now, I am sad about a 40-year-old gamer comic strip, all over again. What a weird hobby!

I used to send it to friends and acquaintances when they were new (or newly announced) parents. I have not always been a nice person.

Also, congratulations!

Oh I friggin' love it.

1. I love poetry.
2. I am very skeptical about this parenting thing.
3. I gotta do my best regardless, though admittedly the bar for being a decent dad (at least for people of my generation) is pretty low.

Congratulations!

And its the best of all times. Apparently every non-core D&D book you buy for them now will still be useful for them when they're old enough to play (if WotC is telling the truth)!
