No, I don't. But I already have a workplace with cameras at every entrance and exit, pin pads at every "sensitive" door, and a name badge with rfid in it so they can track my every movement via sensors in every hallway.

And no, it's not a prison. (It just feels like one, amiright?)

That's the prequel movie. The one where you see the beginnings of, uh, head dictator guy who starts the hunger games. (I didn't watch it.)

The article doesn't say "bomb jolt" it says "bump, jolt." In case no one actually reads the article.

James May in Japan? He went to a concert, but I can't remember the time of day.

I've been thinking that for months now, every time I hear his name. And you're the first person I've seen bring it up.

I'm not the other commenter, but I've had a Discover card for over a decade, and there have only been 2 places I've ever wanted to buy something that didn't take Discover. One was an obscure website and the other was a small town antique store.

So to answer your question, I do have some other credit card options, but it's mostly for cash back reasons (I can use the best card for the category each month).

I'm an American, 40 years old. Not only have I never used a fountain pen, I don't think I've ever even seen one used in person. School was all #2 pencils, mechanical pencils, and then ballpoint pens, as I progressed through the years.

Klingon coffee is called "raktajino".

I just finished Scales of Justice, book #18 in the Inspector Alleyn series by Ngaio Marsh, and I think I need a break from it for a bit. They're nice little cozy mysteries, and I'll go back to them, but I need a change of mood and scenery.

My next planned book is a reread of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan starting with The Eye of The World. I read the first 6(?) or so of this series about 20 years ago when it was still unfinished. Now that there's an ending, I'm going to start over and then finish the series.

Why not just end the sentence with the word "weapon"? That's the important part.

Nance's prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a woman.

It needs to be specified if you discharge your weapon and a woman is involved? Because that's...a different charge than if a man is involved? What if it's a woman discharging the weapon? Still phrased like this? What a weird thing to write.
