Murdstone posted:I just remembered, if I were in charge of Comics Kingdom I'd bring back a rebooted Apartment 3-G. I think a good writer and artist could do a lot with a strip about three young women sharing an apartment in NYC. The curse of the monkey's paw is that Stephanie McMillan gets Apartment 3-G.

PetraCore posted:Yeah I can see why like, predators that would need surgical intervention to digest plants are not doing that, but Coney should be encouraged to eat plants as much as possible. It's not like you can't satisfy chasing and catching instincts without murder, that's literally what cat toys are. It's possible that Coney is an obligate carnivore -- she can't get the nutrients she needs without a li'l murder

This is, unsurprisingly, entirely wrong. The most important factor in company security is the principle of least privilege. An employee should only have access to the data and systems they need to be able to access in order to do their job. The IT guy probably doesn't need access to customer data, and if I recall correctly Dethany doesn't even work there any more so she only needs access to the exit.

Huxley posted:There are two types of driving dads: road trip adventurers and max-efficiency death-marchers. I try very hard to be the first but it's easy to slip into the max-efficiency death-marcher frame of mind. For any naturally max-efficiency dads (or dads at heat) out there, it helps to plan a rough route, look up interesting sites near that route, and then every day pick a handful of sites you want to see. It's okay if it's getting late in the day and you skip such and such waterfall or lighthouse, but make an effort to see at least one interesting thing before lunch and one interesting thing after lunch. DO: plan short days. Just because you can drive 10 hours at a time while listening to a good audio book doesn't mean that will be fun for everyone else. DON'T: plan a several day max-length route with a hard deadline at the end. My wife and I drove past a lot of Sweden because I wildly underestimated how long it would take to drive and we didn't have enough buffer time at the end. DO: consider that everybody has to eat and go to the bathroom, and that might not happen on your schedule. Carry snacks and maybe even piddle packs. DON'T: plan too far ahead. If you have a hotel booked, you'll kill yourself to get there. If possible, pick a rough goal (e.g. "I will get to San Luis Obispo tonight"). Then, around mid afternoon, judge how likely that is and find a hotel near where you're _actually_ going to wind up.

Powered Descent posted:Is the "newborn display showroom" even a real thing anymore? I admit I have no idea how these things are actually done, but all the new dads standing together at the big window just seems like it should be one of those things that hasn't actually existed since Eisenhower was president, even if TV comedies are still keeping the idea alive. It's a nursery. I don't think newborns are whisked away to them immediately any more (hospitals strive to be "baby friendly", which means promoting skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding), but they exist. When my wife was recovering from her c-section, we had the option to put our child in the nursery. We didn't mainly because we forgot, but also because we had a private room and I was there with them 24/7

Powered Descent posted:Except if they have a proper hardcover book binding, they're usually called "blank books" instead of "notebooks". Google or Amazon will back me up here, even if Wikipedia doesn't. What the wiki article is talking about, where the pages are left blank as a punchline, haven't ever really been a common enough thing to have their own name. And they certainly wouldn't all be in their own section at a bookstore. I'm sorry to put more thought into Dustin than the author does, but that's clearly a Moleskine notebook or similar. You're saying that Moleskine, noted manufacturer of "Notebooks, diaries, journals and planners" secretly makes "blank books"?

Powered Descent posted:...It's a line drawing of a book. Where on Earth are you getting a specific brand name from? The little strappy dealy. It's not exactly on model, but it looks about right if the artist was drawing a Moleskine from a written description. I believe you that blank books are a thing. I've been buying them for years and I've never heard that term before.
