Grateful Dead More a folk motif than a single folk tale; a wanderer gives his last coin to pay for the burial of a poor man. The spirit of the dead man later comes back and helps the wanderer.

None of the above. Dark roast decaf with half-and-half, or double strength decaf Earl Grey with milk. So they're both dark and light. Chiaroscuro, if you will. I don't really eat bread, and definitely not white, American, tasteless bread. And vegetarian.

1) Hogfather, by Terry Pratchett; copy for me and two copies to gift, plus the ebook, and the audiobook 2) Mathemagics, by Benjamin and Shermer; it teaches how to do math in your head. I've bought it for personal use three separate times, about 15 years apart.

Two hours is too long on short game and completeted games should most definitely be unreturnable. But I was grateful for the window when it took me a half hour to realize I simply don't like roguelike, deck-builders. I returned Slay the Spire and haven't bought any more games with that mechanic.

@kenney.nl, I don't know if this is something you can do anything about, and its certainly not urgent, but the icon for the All-in-1 comes out blurry when I put it on my desktop. I'm guessing that it's sized for the taskbar.

Not far from where I live there's a gravity battery. When power is cheap water is pumped from a river to a reservoir at the top of a mountain, then when the power is needed the water is released to turn turbines. The tech is older, but it still works like a charm.

DC should be a state. To me, the only question is whether or not the people of PR want it to be one. Polling on the issue has varied. The most common SC reform I've heard is nine active members limited to an 18 year tenure. After that the justice moves to senior status.
