Did they really "fall" for it though? Or did they just spread it because it fit their agenda?

+1 for the Dark Tower books.

But I'd note, there's a dramatic tonal shift between the first half and the last half.

After book 4, you lose the flashbacks to Roland's youth and it's a straight through narrative for books 5, 6 and 7.

I think the accident that almost killed him put the fear of god in him.

Hey, I've been doing this 30 years and just learned it today, you have NOTHING to feel bad about. :)

"The Helvetii, a Celtic tribe who battled Julius Caesar, gave their name to the Swiss territory. The Latin name for the country, Helvetia, still appears on Swiss stamps. The letters CH appearing on Swiss cars and in internet addresses stand for the Latin words Confoederatio Helvetica, meaning Swiss Confederation."

Glad you enjoyed it! I enjoyed figuring it out!

I was wondering what had happened, seemed like things got super quiet. Flipped over to my lemmy.world account and it was back to normal.

We made treatment voluntary, addicts aren't choosing it.

Portland in general is a problem because people will protest anything and everything. They have no real value here.

Plus, NORMALLY in reporting like this, there would be a link to see if the readers vehicle is impacted. I don't think Reuters even bothered.

Says it's updated as of 9/26.

They were, but as somone who has both a One X and a Series X, I did run the game on both and it was not a horrible experience on the One X.

PS4 had it rough and original recipe Xbox One and One S were unplayable, but the One X got by.

But then, I don't think anyone expected the game would need a full overhaul and, what? 3 years before the DLC would come out?

Is it wrong that my first reaction is "Sigh, when does the protest start?"

I could see vegan activists protesting the meat and cheese and homeless activists protesting the $35 entry fee and food waste in general.

The thing is, it's not one off shoplifters. It's organized gangs of shoplifters.

Police will run enforcement actions from time to time, but it needs to be continual.

Stores in question:

Portland Galleria: 939 SW Morrison St.
Portland Powell: 3031 SE Powell Blvd.
Portland Hollywood: 4030 NE Halsey St.

So Galleria, the one by the Hollywood MAX stop, aaand... 30th and Powell? No idea there was even one there...

 

There's a chart that may not load on mobile, look for the "Click Here" link.

 

Hit up the Sol system and check the planets...

They skip over Ceres in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but there on the outer edge...

Pluto is a planet again!

If you have a hard time remembering where the asteroid belt is, there is also a mnemnonic for that...

Finally getting around to looking at the list, here are some notables. Sorry this is late, been sick this week. :(

Alligator Loki #1 - Digital series in physical print, fun "read" (barely any dialog like "It's Jeff!")

Coda #1 - Sequel to a 2018 high fantasy series of the same name.

Cull #2 - Kelly Thompson's new book. Good artwork!

Danger Street #9 - I'm really just buying this hoping that by #12 it will somehow make sense and be mindblowing.

From The World Of Minor Threats The Alternates #1 - Written by Patton Oswalt? May be worth a look.

Green Lantern #3 - Glad to see it back after that nighmare side trip.

Madness #2 - 2nd issue of Straczynski's new book. Creator of Babylon 5, had a super good run on Spider-Man.

Penguin Classics Marvel Collection - Penguin is doing super high quality collections of early Marvel, ensconcing them in the Western Canon. Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men are all out this month, joining the previous releases of Black Panther, Captain America, and Spider-Man. Paperback and hardcover editions.

Saint John #1 - Cheating here since this is a book about a Portland superhero and I live in Portland. :) Bonus variant cover by Matt Wagner. The Portland in this book hasn't existed for at least 10 years.

Superman Lost #6 - Still one of the better Supes books.

World’s Finest Teen Titans #3 - Kind of weird having 3 Titans books running at once, but I'll take it!

Fall of X
Astonishing Iceman #2
Children Of The Vault #2
X-Force #44

 

Since they kind of bury the details:

Saturday November 4th. 9 AM to 6 PM.
