Aye, and with winter coming I'll be back to keeping a pot of mountain butter tea brewing by the fire.

Chainmail is good stuff, I wear a maile shirt myself if I think there might be trouble, or it's really hot out. Bit labour intensive, but easy enough to make and repair.

I realize a new Hope would be cool, but the last one had some very positive diplomatic ties to the Romulan Star Empire. What if they strike back?

Your enemies are counting on you to lose hope. Despair is one of their greatest weapons, for it leads you to stop fighting for yourself. Hold on to hope, no matter how hard it is, and refuse to join your enemy in bringing you down.

Highly unlikely. Solar flares mostly effect the upper atmosphere and ionosphere and magnetosphere, well above anywhere you have significant weather, and are too dispersed to really cause any trouble. Not saying it's impossible, but I'd be more worried about the power grid going down.

Today I saw a kingfisher for the first time in a long while. The overcast sky made me feel like I truly saw the inherent beauty of its body.

a screenshot from Animal Crossing New Horizons, where two characters (a red otter with a white beanie, and the player wearing a striped bathing suit and brown cowboy hat) float in blue water. a white and red chat bubble reads, in blue lettering β€œPascal: Talented folks are just normal folks who practice something more than other folks, maaan.”

It is said that you must pick your battles, but often they are picked for you. You should not give in just because you did not choose the fight. No, you must respond with all your determination and ferocity, and show your enemy they picked the wrong battle, with the wrong warrior.

Well, if Halifax is anything to go by, London has a real quick and cheap way to become a deepwater harbor just waiting to happen. Shame about the rest of the city, though.

The secret, as my grandfather found out, is to plate it in some other metal. Tin is most common.

Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] β†’ NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)

As you begin budgeting for Black Friday, consider shopping locally as much as possible. Many small retailers (especially hobby shops, game stores, and comics shops) run *barely* in the black until the holidays, at which point they make all the profits that will keep them solvent next year.

If you're in a major city or one with a major art presence maybe try starting a community club? Use a community hall or library to keep costs low to nil, and advertise it as primarily a social and networking gathering, then see if you can rope some of the senior artists into giving short lectures?

Cutting in, but arguably the US is 3-4 countries in a trenchcoat held together by tradition and grudging economic need.
