Doris Hall, aka "The Solo Cup Lady"

Still know all the songs!

Same, on a vertical spike.

No, I mean both the shadowy organizations of which I am a member are already documented, as is the fact that I am a member of each.

At some point, it stops being a secret society and starts being just a society with secrets.

Sorry, all my conspiracies are publicly known.

My mom made this spinach and cheese casserole that I loved so much I'd ask for it instead of birthday cake.

My dad's mom, her green beans side. They were blanched and then lightly pickled, then heated up in the brine and drained before serving. No additional seasonjng needed. Also her pigs-inna-blanket. I know a lot of people think of sausages for this dish, but she did it the Dutch way, with spiced pork minced completely enclosed in a puff pastry.

My mom's mom didn't cook much and when she did it was standard English cuisine. But she loved icecream and made a mean banana split.

You can still get Robin to open her store at 7:50pm, even on Tuesdays, by talking to it a she walks by on her way to bed. Not on Fridays, though.

Three questions:

Can I play it in front of my kids?

What's the minimum play session? (That is, how long from startup to the next save point?)

Is it a lot like Mass Effect?

As someone who's never played, which ones the good one?

Right now, I can get almost anything in a twenty minute walk, the only exceptions are a bakery and a hardware store. And I only upped it by five minutes so I could include the pharmacy and coffeeshop. And this is in an underdeveloped neighborhood, full of vacant lots and detached SFHs with yards. The dream is possible, the problem is getting people to see it and developers to build it.

I've been on MetroPCS for most of a decade and have no complaints. Two lines, unlimited everything, $50/month.

If you're going to ask a question to everyone and also answer it, the best practice is to put your own answer as a comment, rather than in the textbox.

To answer the question:

True, there's been trouble and trickery, sir
Trembling and tribulations
Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
You, sir, and your usurpations
But my patience wears very thin
When you play the violin

from "When You Play the Violin" by the Gothic Archies. It's not emotionally resonant, I just love the wordplay.

I was going to say the same thing. Doing it with her, and at the same time every day (or every other day) would be the most helpful if she's like me. Even better is getting her to join a study group with others taking the same exam; it's a lot easier to do things for others who depend on me than for myself alone.

How do we feel about this? Article makes it sound like there will be a greater emphasis on deëscalation and oversight, but is that enough of a change?

Now I tell Yo-Yo Ma jokes, which are much classier.

I saw a post recently about how the family cartoon Bluey was very good at showcasing Stoic behavior, even though it wasn't labeled as such. What are your favorite novels, essays, songs, or movies that showcase Stoicism in the modern or postmodern eras?

My answers in the comments.

This is one of my favorite songs off my Xmas playlist. The Michael Martin Murray original is also good, but I prefer the sound of the Killers' cover, and the video only makes it weirder.

Also one of the best descriptions of American folk dancing in popular media.

Atomic Robo is a comic book, mirrored on the web, about alternate history. In this arc, the eponymous hero has been sent back in time to the Old West... where he finds an old enemy who hasn't met him yet.

Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there's no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

I'm not from California, so I don't know much about her; but this genuinely surprised me, especially how vicious and vitriolic the comments were. What's going on there?
