I mostly hate Bendis for forever ruining the wonderful dynamic he had going with Damian.This.

Even if there ends up being more context about the first shot (doesn't seem like there will be from current details), I don't think any context in the world would justify shooting someone already down in the head. For that alone, the guy needs to be arrested.I'd say that's enough to warrant the death penalty. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

| Topic | How do you feel about the electric car push? |
| tri-sapphire 04/13/23 11:23:11 AM #27 | I feel like the tech is still premature. The batteries aren't sustainable, and most of the electricity is still coming from fossil fuels. The push for it is understandable with how close we are to the precipice of truly disastrous climate change being irreversible, but renewable energy needs to be pushed just as much since the cars do rely on electricity. --- "If history is to change, let it change!

If your SUV can fit a regular sized fridge (which is not advisable, it's best to transport them standing), then it probably uses just as much gas as a pickup truck. I've lost count of the number of times people have overestimated the size of their SUV's storage space. They always end up having to call a friend with a truck, or renting one from Home Depot or U-Haul. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

| Topic | Hawaii ranked #1 as the state most open to veganism. Oregon is #2. |
| tri-sapphire 03/17/23 5:30:54 AM #21 | That's quite a bit of correlation messing with causation in that study. Their main factors were: vegan restaurants per capita, vegan meetups per capita, and price of vegan option vs price of meat per lb. For restaurants, I can see there being 30 vegan joints across the state easily. Hawai'i is big on tourism, and I'm sure there are at least 20 spots in Waikiki alone. You'd only need a mere 7 or 8 meetups across the state to top the second criteria, which is probably affected by the amount of older retirees that have moved out here over the past couple decades. And one of their factors being vegan vs meat prices, while not factoring the popularity of stuff like poke, spam, and vienna sausage seen as staples by the locals... I really wouldn't bet on Hawai'i going even moderately vegan anytime soon. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

Another 200+ hours on the PS4 legendary edition... And at least 400 hours total on the PC version with mods. These are conservative estimates. --- "If history is to change, let it change!

Only complaint is the reliance on using abilities if you want to beat the larger puzzles within the time limit. Then again, it's the fun of having a bunch of Pokemon and their abilities to choose from that makes the game stand out from standard Picross. --- "If history is to change, let it change!
