I was just wondering if 3e belongs on here for that reason.

I wonder how common the slang was at that time. There are businesses and other uses in Newspapers.com from the 60s-80s. Several decades before there was a mine...

I would guess that most people recognize the Ship of Theseus way in which companies and countries change over, say, 80 years. I would have hoped when folks learned about what the Nazi's were doing they would have started boycotting the companies supporting them at the time and would have...

That applies to so many places right now ...

Is this site pronounced e-n-world or n-world?

I think the issue with the "buying" is that it is "providing financial resources", which "licensing" usually would. And so "licensing" for any $ wouldn't be better. If the money were going directly from GG to the KS folks (that JG has no legal obligation - or apparently intention - of paying...

TIL. The original troll dolls had either white, black, or orange hair.

"Hey ship's computer, please scan all of their activities for the past five years to look for obvious signs of them being hypocritical. Tell me how many pages it would be if written up fairly concisely on 8.5x11" paper, 1" margins, 1.5 times spacing, and 12 point font. Deliver to me a ten...

Our county in SC is closed tomorrow... but their FB post about it didn't say why. This was one of the guesses: National Lost Sock Memorial Day It's apparently been a thing for decades. (Granted not the thing the county and state are actually celebrating).

I wonder how many folks would chip into a go fund me to help pay for the lawyer to do it... (or can Goodman just ask for the names of the refund folks and do it themselves?).

I thought on Kickstarter that if a product wasn't delivered, those paying for it were just out of luck? That is, Bledsaw II has a moral/ethical obligation to repay the ealier backers [if he had either morals or ethics], but he is under no legal obligation to ever do so, right? This seems like...

For the screen share and video/voice in general I like Google Meet. One game I'm in uses Zoom - it uses Discord for sharing documents, posting NPC pictures for posterity, and other things. Have used the die roller integration in Discord before not now thow, and I think we tried doing video...

Family genealogy work - always had a bit of an interest, really went into it hard a bit over five years ago when I opened an account that let me easily put everything on line. Scout things with the offspring - was involved myself until I was finishing undergrad, started again when the little...

In the US we have "504 Plans and IEPs" as part of federal regulations for students who have been diagnosed with ADHD or other things that really prevent the work from being done, so that in theory the teachers would know and have to accommodate. --- Now if only they could make sure all parents...

The Rex Stout biography works better in small batches, so still going through it. Reread Josephine Tey's "The Franchise Affair". I think It is truly outstanding (especially in terms of the quality of writing and the insights the various characters have). Started "An Expert in Murder" by...

I'm a big fan of setting up primary/secondary school for kids to learn and not just grade/bean count them into submission (Our local district sets the minimum percent a student can earn at the end of each quarter as a 50% so that the grades essentially work like GPA for the course over the span...

I went to IMDB for the Superhero subgenre ... and it included Sonic III and Dog Man, for example. https://www.imdb.com/interest/in0000008/?ref_=tt_ov_in_3 I'm pretty sure that isn't helpful...
