Nobody said he was smart :)

I wouldn't lead with it on a date :)

My theory is that it's one of the ways I'm autistic. My brain often needs the JUST RIGHT level of input, eg too-slow video is terrible.

And maybe music keeps going too intense and then not intense enough

I'm a bit like this!

I don't often mention it because it's not wrong but it does feel really weird to be like that.

In terms of casually hearing music I seem average. Some I really like, some I don't. But I don't get really passionate about listening to music I really love.

Trying to think of there's any crimes you have to be more careful of if you ARE invisible...

Some American states you're allowed to carry a gun only if it's visible.

Trespass..??

Maybe it needs more dragon :)

Yes! Lawyer here, and you will pry the em-dash from my cold, dead hands (which have the windows shortcut in muscle memory).

I even have a mug about it!

One of my friends needs quite a few feathers for quills, but I don't know what the requirements are or if they've found enough. And they're in Cambridge. Is it worth me asking her given the distance?

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for you because you lost your dream, too.

And that guards thinking "What's good enough" is more common than guards thinking "How can we excel against unlikely threats". I need to remember that's more common in real life too! :)

I have to keep reminding myself, I don't need to plan HOW they break in or what the flaws are.

If I imagine "ok what's a reasonable sounding precaution they'd take with the resources and motivations they'd have" the design and opportunities just appear :)

Wikipedia helpfully has a page en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamblin... :)

That sounds fascinating.

I keep only seeing dropout in clips, I still need to watch whole episodes. (Apart from the Sam says episode, I saw that, that was amazing.)

But also, a LARP may still have other strengths even if dropout already nailed a similar thing. Or be amazing even if precedented :)

But! The next clause, "qui sibi nomen imposuit [papal name]", has been the subject of a long-running argument in the Vatican's Latin department. (Which is a whole separate thread about its history and ups and downs, but.)
