With “v” sounding like it does in other English words like valve.

The watermarks amusingly make it seem like Deanna is Riker’s beard, as well as his actual beard.

Oh of course, I’m forgetting about the other spell formats. This spell is conjuring a cactus into their urethra. The spell I was thinking of turns the urethra itself into a cactus.

Probably why I failed the first time taking the wizard’s exam…

So, I didn’t read the title and thought the quote was metaphorical, and talking about time itself. How we become desensitized to the passage of time and bloody from all the days gone by.

Then I read the title and got sad…

Won’t that just make a cactus out of urethras? You want to cast “cactus urethra”

Ironically, it’s missing pieces so can’t be armed and triggered as a trap anymore

In movies and TV it always looked like they cracked something in half. I’m wondering if they’ve been coming in a little pouch now for a long time but that cracking-in-half type is now movie shorthand for smelling salts so they keep doing it.

I want a bag of paper fibres I can sprinkle into the spill

Dinosaurs Attack!

That’s getting into ship of Theseus territory which is similar, but slightly different than the transporter paradox. It gets closer when you do the whole build another ship out of the replaced parts thing, but with the transporter there’s something that gets destroyed and that something is where your consciousness is.

Even a “perfect” copy is still a copy, and the fact that the second consciousness doesn’t rely on the first to exist (they could simultaneously exist ala William Riker) it’s a separate instance so a separate person.

Because it’s still a copy, so you still die. Imagine if there was a delay between the copy being produced and the original being destroyed, long enough for them to see each other if transported within the same room.

To Be

True, but the amount they shrink and grow across the grain tends to be proportional. A 2x4 is very rarely measurably different from 1.5"x3.5", but a 2x10 (like you’ve shown) is 1.5"x9 1/4" but is often anywhere between 9 1/8" to 9 3/8"

I often thought that with all the trouble the Borg go through fighting all the resistance and wars and stuff they could instead just go around asking for volunteers.

Throughout the galaxy they could probably build a decent population this way, and it’s much lower risk.

Theme song slaps either way though

The nicer pairs have a zipper down at the cuff of the pants that lets you open them up a bit for easier removal of the legs

It has the properties of bubble and gum

What will happen if all benches and horizontal places will get some anti homeless details? Homeless will magically disappear from the world?

If I’m being charitable, it’s less about magically making homelessness disappear but forcing them out if unacceptable places/behaviors. Of course, very typically the same people most in favour of hostile architecture are also against giving people the help they need so maybe there’s some magical thinking there after all lol.

I’m the weird one who wants tons of support and isn’t against certain hostile architecture, but I get why I’m often lumped in with the magical thinking ones you alluded to.

I want nobody to have to sleep on a bench, but also nobody to be able to choose to do it either as that’s not what the bench is for! Go sleep somewhere that’s meant for sleeping and leave the bench for those who need to sit down.

I’d argue there’s nothing wrong with it being be hostile to “misuse” whatever that would be. Like how traffic calming works; “hostile” to traffic in order to make it better for pedestrians etc.

For the bench, you could make the case that laying on a bench means one person occupies it for a long period of time instead of it being open for several people to use when needed for shorter periods. It’s not necessarily anti homeless, just anti bench hogging (even if it’s typically homeless “misusing” the bench).
