Is that true that lesbian relationshis do not work "boyish partner - girlish partner" way? Pretty sure it just depends on how the members view the roles they play. Maybe some of them do, but probably not a lot. |

There is literally no limit to the amount of household objects you can hide a micro-sd card in. It's a regular SD card, but I lost it... kind of upset. We have hit a functional limit on how small removable storage devices can be and still be practical. When you can't find it on a practically-empty desk top, or can't read a meaningful label, it's *too small*. I literally have an envelope with a row of microSD cards taped to it and a few words written beneath each one. But for that to be effective, I can't ever - even for a few minutes - have a card that is neither in a device nor taped to the envelope. And if I ever have TWO cards in that in-between state, I'm immediately in trouble. |

If so, maybe label the adapters and keep them in those when they're not in something else? Anywho, it's highly likely that the functional limit we have hit is only temporary. Once augmented reality becomes more practical and prevalent, storage devices can be of almost any size since the ID tags in them could display virtual rather than physical labels and allow you to remotely track their whereabouts if they get lost. |

Unfortunately I didn't have the presence of mind to use envelopes or any kind of thing that would make them organized, and I lost almost all of them. This drawer alone has eaten three of those little bastards, one of them with all of my phone's photos from the past year on it.  I'll probably have to take a hacksaw to the whole dresser to get them back. |

Also, we should probably keep this thread for comic speculation, and use a random chat thread for this sort of thing. |

There's this thread which was started by a spambot but was repurposed as a random (and I mean random) chat thread. |

On a desk like that you can lose almost anything smaller than a rhinoceros. It's hard to lose things on a practically-empty desk... but a microSD card can disappear, no problem. |

I personally prefer the one made by snipergirl that started out with Jones riding a muthafuckin' Gyarados, but I can't seem to find it anymore. edit: "Oops, there was an error! The thread you are trying to access could not be found." I think Tom deleted it, verifying my theory that he is indeed playing the role of Ceiling Cat. |

I was quite sad when it disappeared. it disappeared at the same time as proboards got updated so I'm honestly not sure if Tom deleted it or whether it got lost in the update? nothing else seemed to have gotten lost though!

It is said that there are no rats in the Court. Does anyone in the Court play a musical pipe (Janet plays flute)?

Does Anthony remind anyone else of Jones..?
Like how he's all distant and bails when Surma dies. It doesn't make much sense since he's clearly aged (maybe) but it was interesting to think about

If it wasn't for his display of grief in the hospital and the look at his early years, I would say he's even more emotionally devoid than Jones.

Some people are predisposed towards stoic and calm behavior. It doesn't mean that they're cold or not earnest, but merely subdued and sober. Or bad with people, but certainly not robots. And there's this.So many questions about him. I'm dying to know about the Etheric Space Bones. Anthony Carver, Orbiting Man of Mystery. |

She may be a soulless, emotionless abomination, but she at least puts up a show of caring. |

Different people show they care in different ways.
Anthony shows he cares by being a totally distant jerkface.
