Almost 40 days. I just need to be below 30 days by the end of the year, which should be achievable between taking the week after Christmas off and selling a couple weeks of PTO.

What does deceiver mean in the Bible?

noun. one who misleads another or others by a false appearance or false statement, especially one who does so habitually

That's rich. Someone falsely claiming that by embracing an imaginary deity that they will be able to achieve everlasting life is calling out someone as a "deceiver".

They just happened to be just good enough and hit that specific bit of luck to become a fad, and then the books held on to that as they continued to basically age up with their target demographic, maturing as the kids did, so an entire generation holds HP with regards as a critical part of their youth.

This is definitely a lot of what made Harry Potter so magical. Sure, there are better book series, but I didn't read those with my family when I was younger, go to midnight releases of the books and movies with my friends throughout highschool and college, geek out over speculations about future books or the latest Harry Potter themed meme video, bond with my future wife talking about the 7th book after it just released, or throw our first son a Harry Potter themed 1st birthday party.

It's easy for people who were never really into Harry Potter to just ignore it and move on, but when it was a huge part of my life for over 2 decades I'm not just going to suddenly drop it because the author came out publicly as a ****.

If a game was 100 hours at a minimum, I would probably just avoid it and not even start it. But if the main story was 20-40 hours and there were 100s of hours of side content, I might end up spending over 100 hours on the game by the time I was done.

I found a Command and Conquer guide I had printed out back in like '96 or '97. I should probably search my parent's house for that again before they throw it out (if they haven't already).
I mostly just saved guides for console games to the computer since I could just look at them while playing the game, but C&C had a tendency to crash if I ever minimized the window.
It is pretty crazy thinking back to what the internet was like in those days, having to connect every time you wanted to get online, not being able to make phone calls if someone was using the internet, and taking hours to download a grainy video of a video game.

It looks like in the US the top 3 flavors are:
  1. Plain
  2. Barbecue
  3. Sour Cream and Onion
Plain seems a bit odd to be number 1, but I guess it's probably either because if you need to get 1 flavor of chips for a bunch of people, it is the safest bet. Or becuase people buy it to go along with dips to give it some actual flavor.
