It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

Does "inflation impacts supply" mean that because the buying-power of a dollar decreases then the output of the process that creates these drugs also decreases?

If you watch the video you see he specifically raises the price because otherwise he would have missed his performance targets and gotten a smaller bonus. Literally nothing to do with supply and demand at all.

I think he means that because buying power decreases, it becomes more expensive for the company to purchase the raw materials for their drug. At least that's what I got out of that buzzword salad.

The book has a pretty good premise (because all these wizards should be incredibly disconnected from modern society, and the protagonist is a depressed sadbrains), but the execution... eh, not so much.
Put it this way, part of the climax (ugh) of the first book is when one of the heroines is hosed repeatedly by a demon; as a result, she turns into a sylph IIRC although it could have been a dryad.

I honestly can't tell if he thinks he's really smart and this is a great "gotcha" or he if he's lazy and knows his dad's followers will run with anything he chucks out there.

(I know it's probably both.)

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
So a couple of weeks ago in London, an untaxed, uninsured, and unmaintained car made a prohibited left-turn and almost knocked a cyclist – who had the right of way – off his bike.

But of course, people reckon the cyclist is at fault.

HOW DO CROSS LANES? HOW DRIVING WORK?

I put the indicator on that means it's everyone else's fault if they hit me!

The rule doesn't change whether you're crossing a lane left or right or whether the lane has people, bikes, cars, or loving freight trains in it.

It's been a while but I think you're mixing up the girl who got her brains scrambled when her memory was erased after being rejected by the magic school, and goes on an underground magic quest to fix herself and ends up getting sexually assaulted by a fox demon, in the second book and the girl who uses too much power and becomes a sylph/dryad or whatever at the end of the first.

There's a trend of "adult coloring books" that aren't anything sexy, just nice patterns and pictures with more detail than children's coloring books tend to have.

But even that has exceptions. :nws:

Seems OK. Those women are fully, if revealingly, clothed. Also, I found those coloring books on my iPad a year or so back, and they really can be quite meditative. Yesterday, I opened one up for the first time in about a year. I could see really enjoying them if I had any clue whatsoever about color, shading, or art in general.
