I searched the phrase, and it looks like bIpIv'a' at least would be "How are you?"

And "jup" is "friend", so I'm guessing the whole phrase is "How are you, friend?" But I'm not sure if "friend" would count as a subject or object there, and since Klingon uses OVS word ordering oh god kill me now

Have we been cheated? After the ominous narrator warnings, are the only consequences for Buck going to be a stationary bike workout and drinking some extra water? That's tepid even by Rex Morgan standards - and a bit of an educational fail, because it is genuinely dangerous for somebody with 375 glucose to binge on a 1000 cal milkshake, even if most of the time the consequences would be about what Buck got.

A few years ago I was staying with my aunt, and one morning she comes in to my room and wakes me up to tell me that the couple that had taken in some of the kids my aunt fostered was divorcing, and the two she'd fostered would be coming back to stay. Of course, I had just been woken up, so I'm listening to her explaining things and I'm still half-asleep and so nothing she's saying makes any real sense, and the only thing I could say was "what?" until she finally decided that I was probably too tired to talk to at the moment.

I dunno, I first encountered the trope when I was first getting into comics and my dad pulled out his copy of Punisher: War Journal #1 which has a scene not dissimilar from this one.

I know this is low hanging fruit but god drat do I hate this stereotype of elementary school aged kids being on their phones all the time. 1) Who gave these fictional kids the loving phone and 2) I forget if these kids are supposed to be in third grade or in like fifth but kids IRl still love to run around and do goofy poo poo with each other, older ones might chill on their phones for a little bit but it's nowhere near the "MILLENNIALS UH... SMALL ONES BE GLUED TO THEIR SCREENS ALL THE TIME, AMIRIGHT FELLOW COOL BOOMER" monolith out of touch olds pretend to constantly see.


I know someone's gonna come in here and tell me they have a nephew or niece or whatever who is legit tech addicted and yeah I *have* seen individual instances of kids like that, but it's VERY far from the norm, and they usually have a hard time making friends (which is more of a chicken or egg situatoin- if you have a hard time socializing, yeah you're probably gonna prefer hobbies that don't require you to use social skills you don't have!)

Yeah, if you get woken up like that occasionally then I get giving a confused answer then going back to sleep again. But Ruthie regularly wakes up her parents in the middle of the night for some stupid question that I wouldn't blame them for finally losing patience with the little troll.

It's Rex Morgan. I don't know why people were expecting for something to happen. :v:


It's really weird that Axa is saying the guy is bad because he's a rapist pig and a tyrant who makes people go through death games, but she doesn't say anything about the guy being a slaver. It's such a weird omission.

WIth modern technology you can just set your insulin pump to compensate for that milkshake, and with a glucose sensor you can keep tabs on glucose all the time. So how to live with diabetes nowadays varies a lot depending on what kind of medicine and equipment you are given. In some setups it's basically a functional cure, all you do is keep tabs on the equipment and let it work.
