Hmm. I see the argument, but it seems to be more like an issue with pricing than a flaw with HSR. Once high speed track is in service it should be able to run plenty of trains all around the clock, I can see how it could make low speed rail seem redundant.

I’d think it would make more sense to keep the low speed tracks and use them for freight, and also make high speed rail cheaper to ride.

Anyone else see the back of the chair as the person’s hair in the first two panels?

Isn’t the choice between removing england or getting the soda? You can have your England and drink it too.

Haha, I’m glad you liked it. I was a little bit drunk and worried it might not be as funny to everyone else as it seemed in my head at the time.

Yeah, a bite is more like a dagger than a short sword. Plus barbarians already get an extra +2 damage while raging, which makes their bites average more than a d6 plus strength with the same max damage.

Beast barbarians can even cause their teeth to grow during a rage giving them a d8 bite attack.

How many people have you bitten? Blood stains your lips, especially if you let it dry, it’s not as easy as wiping it off. You need hot water and soap, which might not have been in the car during the trip to the hospital.

Is it really hurting the low speed networks? I would imagine there are many stations that high speed rail doesn’t go to. Let goods travel long distance low speed, let people go fast.

But what’s your straight line distance to the Parthenon?

Spending on missile defense is one of the only parts of the military budget I’m alright with. Heck, why not expand it, intercept every missile targeting civilians regardless of who fired it.

Isn’t that the Qatar money the above comment was talking about?

I was making a joke about directions; under, over, transverse; entirely unserious.

Maybe you’re under reacting.

I’m transverse reacting by mirroring your reaction.

It really depends on what it was used for. I almost always turn bacon grease into gravy or mayo, for oil/butter from cooking meat dishes I make pan sauces, but for frying oil I recycle.

Why waste the oil? Turn it into gravy, or mayonnaise, or store it to sell to a recycling center that will turn it into biofuel.

Eh, back in 2e Polymorph worked a lot like True Polymorph does in 5e, in 3e it was called Polymorph Any Object. I think a lot of players just call it Polymorph, even though there’s a level four spell with the same name, especially if the context of the situation makes it clear which spell is being used. At least that’s how it goes at my table, but every group is different.

Only if it’s the 4th level version, which is impermanent anyway. 9th level polymorph has rules for objects: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/True Polymorph#content

True Polymorph can turn people into objects.
