OT: 111th Obsequious Banter Thread: If threads were floors, this would be the tallest building in America

Sucks that the amazon series is so bad. Doubt it makes it more than another season and will never get to a conclusion from the books.

My fav char being that weak channeler Androl and he doesn't even first appear until like the 9th or 10th book who

Spoiler

is only good at opening gateways and then figures out how to use them as weapons, severing limbs, opening up a portal right before a spell would hit him and then having it exit and hit the original caster. In the final battle getting to lead a circle and get immense power reserves and opening a gateway directly into a volcano to eradicate an enemy army with lava.

I think Brandon Sanderson is responsible for pretty much all the coolness from the character and decided he wanted to utilize the spells/magic Robert Jordan had established in a specific way with this character.

Mat was my favorite character. Agree about the Amazon series. Say what you want about the books, a well done Dumai's Wells scene would have been ri-goddamn-diculous

Jedi are like the freed humans in The Matrix. They can manipulate the universe a bit, but only within reason. Wizards are the Agents. They're plugged in way deeper. They're in tune with The Matrix itself in a way the humans aren't.

To beat a wizard, you need a wizard jedi.

The force is an energy field created by living things, and which can be manipulated via the midichlorians in your meat. It is a biological process that exists within the limitations of biology and physics. Hell, if you don't have midichlorians (like the Yuzhan Vong from outside the galaxy), then you've got heavy resistance to direct force manipulation, which is a big advantage for a wizard.

Wizards draw their power from something deeper and more primal. The universe itself. Basically zero-point energy. A competent wizard would be able to cancel out the force due to their control over the quantum realm, and then rearrange all the atoms in a Jedi to transmute them into a series of sheep. Then just click on them until they pop.

Please note I didn’t read any of this I just liked it for the Warcraft gif

There are a couple of rabbits in my backyard, and my dumbshit cat is freaking out about it.

We have a bunch of rabbits in our neighborhood, and often have two in the yard at a pop. They’re juuuust faster than my dog.

He would be turned into a sheep and be popped. What's he gonna do, force throw a rock at a wizard? the wizard can remove the rock from existence or change its nature.

Why was my cat so excited to see two rabbits in the back yard today?


Cats are natural hunters and predators, and seeing prey can trigger their excitement and instincts. Even if your cat has never hunted before, the sight and movement of small animals like rabbits can stimulate their hunting instincts and make them excited.

In addition, cats are naturally curious animals, and seeing new or unusual things in their environment can also pique their interest and excitement. Your cat may have simply been fascinated by the rabbits and wanted to observe them more closely.

It's important to remember that even if your cat is excited by the sight of prey, it's not necessarily safe to let them hunt or interact with wild animals. Domestic cats can pose a threat to the local wildlife population, and there is also the risk of the cat getting injured in the process. If you want to provide your cat with a safe and stimulating environment, you can try providing toys and activities that simulate hunting behavior, such as puzzle feeders or interactive toys.

@DancingPanther what happens to me if I drink vodka while on gabapentin

You would be sleepy and risk respiratory depression

 

[Beef Invictus]

You would be sleepy and risk respiratory depression

So I should be careful

 

[DancingPanther]

Correct. I would not drink more than usual, and assuming your gabapentin is new after your appendix eviction, would drink even less than normal

Yeah just started it an hour ago to see if it does anything to my leg pain that's likely due to something happening to nerve areas in surgery

They're certainly getting enough to eat. I almost stepped in a giant pile of their shit about an hour ago.

Gah I hope they didn't nick anything

Ha! We have too many coyotes in Portland for that to happen.

My boy gives them a good run as well. He can’t catch them though

They think inflammation is bothering the nerves but...it's been 13 days. Seems like a long time to be inflamed.

Is that a neck beard?

 

[DancingPanther]

Is that a neck beard?

Nah, it does look like it though in that pic doesn't it

 

[Beef Invictus]

The low dose of gabapentin has slightly reduced the pain but not much. So that seems ominous

Edit: wait is this a drug that needs to load up in the system? I'll wait on being doomy if so

M&M size or peanut M&M size? Rabbits partake in “second harvest”

Should I be drinking on steroids @DancingPanther ?

So the Patriot in Kyiv reportedly shot down a Kinzhal hypersonic rocket. Cool.
