High Lord Elena

(referring to Helen Blood 's lengthy and noteworthy post on prior page) That is the kind of analysis at which the Watch once excelled. Well done! The Falkner bits hit pretty hard. Hadn't made those connections before; despite knowing SRD would draw on such literary roots as a young author nee litera...

In all fairness, Stevie, the name 'Liete' did not occur to me until reading your response. That triggered the ah-ha moment of...I'll not say more, in case someone wants to craft a future question. :D

Northern Exposure

Roslyn (aka Cicely) is not far from here. Watchers planning to visit the site who want to meet other community members can make their intentions known; raising at least enough Watchers to qualify for a mini-Elohimfest ought to be doable.

Yes, that's it. ...the truth was his programming wouldn't let him either hurry or dodge. As if Trumpet 's homing signal wasn't enough of a betrayal, his datacore required him to behave with the mindless predictability of a moron; to ensure that any ship who followed him would find him impossible to ...

These were neither ignorant nor insensitive people, peter. I doubt they believed in the position they were advocating; this was a hypothetical based on "disperse the Gazans to get them out of the Israeli cross-hairs" (admittedly, quite tone-deaf to both the Palestinian and Jewish diasporas...

Also a reasonable guess, but nobody on Trumpet knew about Punisher yet.

Both answers are adjacent to the truth, but not quite there.

Peter, this is part of the follow-up to the rather heated disagreement between our States in the 1860s. Our Constitution was amended to disqualify anyone previously taking an oath of office who subsequently engaged in or supported an insurrection. Having done so, they no longer were eligible for any...

QFT if you ever find yourself at Kings Cross Station in London and have an odd desire to walk into a wall between platforms 9 and 10, take my advice..... don't! There are hidden doors, albeit not necessarily magical. Whatever; if you don't know how to work it (and get out of it!) , don't mess with it.

Tried this preparation tonight. One two-pound head of cauliflower, trimmed and roughly divided in thirds for the household, boiled in salted water until al dente, then drained and allowed to cool to room temperature. Blotted, seasoned, and seared bone-in skin-on chicken thighs on both sides, removed...
