I typically have some idea/s about what job/s (or role/s, whatever) I want to do among the PCs, or I have an idea for some mechanical thing I want to explore; I make choices based on that. For example, I know I want to make a Brick in a Supers game, or I have some specific spellchucker idea/s I...

Better a disagreement than abuse.

Yeah. And often--"usually" seems too strong--everyone's right, by the definitions they're preferring. There's no point in bothering with that argument.

Well, I see the argument about definitions is going about the way I expected.

"Why do people persist in being insulted when I've told them and told them and told them that I'm not insulting them?"

That is really a lot of words, there.

Well, between reading The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones last night, and enjoying the hell out of it, and seeing Sinners this afternoon, and enjoying the hell out of it, I'm about full up on vampires for a while: As much as I enjoyed both of those, vampires are honestly not my...

I must have missed that memo ...

Well, Wal*Mart.

Having driven through Indiana two years in a row, on our way to vacations, I gotta agree.

Yes. From Baltimore. Under cover of darkness. In a snowstorm. Maryland has a horse-racing tradition--I live near the biggest track remaining in the state. I believe "Colts" might have been a bit of a reference to that: The three-year-olds that run in the Preakness (at Pimlico, in Baltimore) are...

Sure, and there were some you didn't mention that acquired more local color when they moved. Best I can think of is the Browns becoming the Orioles. Obviously not all names will have any deep local connection, though there are some trends in that direction--local indigenous tribes are kinda...

Take care of yourself and your people, we'll see you when you can make it back.

The Dodgers, at least, did. It's plausible that the Colts did, too. And the Twins changed their name (from Senators) before the Rangers did.

Whoever did the kitchen (a lot of it looks DIY, but that doesn't mean it all is) cut the countertop into pieces, so at least they didn't make that error. And here in Maryland earthquakes are much less common. Again, not arguing, they'll plausibly settle wrong and break eventually.

Not arguing, but I don't think I've noticed any breaks in the granite countertops here. They wouldn't be my first choice, but I don't dislike them enough to want them gone, either.

I might go with something manufactured, tile or quartz or recycled, if I were replacing the countertops. That's my preference though--butcher block is perfectly fine, if that's yours.

This is like an addition bumped out on the back (with an extra bathroom in it) and the kitchen more or less entirely redone (absorbing a breakfast nook into the workspace, removing the double-wall-oven, installing a new double-wall-oven in the absorbed breakfast nook, new cabinets and...

If I were going to buy a house, I'd rather have work the current owners had lived with for a couple-few years than something brand-new and right out of HGTV, whether it was DIY or contracted out. The place we bought like five years ago has had some serious work done, but the previous owners...
