RIPCORD.

Should've guessed.

What the hell was the point of the reset if they're just going to re-do everything that was reset?

I'm not doubting you, but was the homeless guy even a baker? I thought he just said that his wife and kid died and his company (no specific industry mentioned) laid him off. Plus, ol' Mary-Stalking John Dill there isn't even the owner of Pierre's bakery, he's just some apprentice/cake-slave and by all rights shouldn't be able to hire or fire anyone. I mean, he won one cake-decorating contest. ONE. And that was in loving Santa Royale, CA, where fine cuisine goes to die. He's lucky that Pierre isn't making him sleep in the dumpster out back and clean the goddamn ovens with a toothbrush.

Basically, what I'm getting at here is that I'm going to be angry at this comic when the homeless guy magically is revealed as a baker and the stalker mysteriously gets the authority (and budget) to hire him and Mary gets to take a three-week victory lap for making it all happen by putting a dollar in a cup.

I went backed and checked turns out I misrememberd. He wasn't a baker but the demon child has already destined his replacement career as such.

Painting concrete floors is the new hotness for house flippers because it's quicker, cheaper, and easier than even carpeting and looks good enough until you actually have to live with it.

But I don't think they've been flipping houses.

You know if I'm buying a house, I'm going to buy one with actual floors rather than the painted concrete foundation.

I think that's one of those 'or not' bits. The guy's an ultramarathoner, but I don't see anything peer-reviewed saying he's literally hacked real life and gave himself infinite stamina.

Also given the huge evolutionary advantage being able to run indefinitely is, there's gotta be some horrible crippling trade off if it is a mutation or else it'd be seen a lot more.
