    "Maybe"?

    Maybe the pie was "accidentally" baked with a very special ingredient?

  8. Re:How can maintaining the status quo cause job lo on The Truth About Net Neutrality Job Loss · · Score: 1

    They don't want it, so they find any old reason they can tie to it (however remotely) to say it shouldn't be implemented. I bet if they could say net neutrality causes paedophiles, they would.

    "Puffs"? Don't you mean "pus"?

  10. Re:iPod-sized is just a reflex reaction on PARC Builds iPod-Sized HIV Detector · · Score: 1

    Yeah... why not 'pocket sized' or 'cellphone sized'? Maybe this is an attempt to appeal to today's younger market.

  11. Re:Watch out or they'll crucify you on Stand and Deliver Teacher Jaime Escalante Dies · · Score: 1

    It's because you're making everyone else look bad by comparison.

    If D&D (as a traditional RPG) is already performing near or below that bar, then taking an action which has a low expected direct cost that might, the probability is low,improve it to reach that bar (but is likely to fail) may, assuming everything that appears more likely to succeed which has equal or less cost has already been tried, make sense as a last ditch effort to save the line before shutting it down.

    Incomprehensible sentence hits you for 1d6+1!
