“I’m on it,” Nina whispered to me. “I’ll run over to Buck’s Star and be right back.” She raced out the door.
“Hurry!” I called after her.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Even if you don’t get coverage through the Affordable Care Act, it still affects you.
When more people are uninsured, hospitals shift unpaid costs onto everyone else. This drives up employer health-plan premiums.

The comments on this thread are a nerd's delight.
The range increments of a full subway sandwich are only 10/20 so you have disadvantage on your throw more than a few paces away. You can double the range with a half-sandwich wrapped tightly and druis have a fifth-level subclass feature that removes disadvantage if the sandwich has sprouts
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Skeeder raised his antennae defiantly, then shot the cue ball at Nlubglub’s pyramid. The balls fell apart and bounced in every direction. When they came to rest, they spelled an obscene word in Plutonian.
