I almost completely forgot about that character.I just wrote a passive-aggressive letter wherein Magica DeSpell challenges Scrooge McDuck to a duel under the full moon to demonstrate proper business block format for a notes slideshow.
Sometimes I wonder if my kids actually read the example texts I give them for sample formatting.
She's been pretty prominent in the new show.
It's also hilarous as she's now voiced by Catherine Tate, AKA Donna Noble from Doctor Who. And Scrooge is voiced by David Tennant.
Edit: nudity and cartoons intended for children and families are not something i intended combined, rule 34 be damned. Clothes are staying on.

I stayed up until 11:30 last night working, started again at 6, and I'm finally caught up with my individual student documentation and my lesson planning for the next two weeks. Now I just need to get through all my lessons and one-on-ones today and clean the house, because tomorrow I have to cook all day for Easter and donate blood.

...if you can't survive a 6-month global embargo on your country, you'd better set up a stockpile of whatever it is you can't make yourself.
Anyhoo, I have fat feet (EEEE), so I buy New Balance shoes. New Balance is nice enough to sell one set of 100% U.S.-made shoes: The guarantee is that all materials are sourced and all labor is done in the U.S. And of course they're more than 60% more expensive than the Chinese-sourced shoes.
So I buy 2-3 pairs (one U.S., 1-2 Chinese) and rotate them on a daily basis so all the shoes get equal wear.
For the third time in a row, the U.S.made shoes are already falling apart, less than a year after purchase, while the Chinese-made ones are still going strong.
So yeah, I'd like to support U.S. manufacturing, but when I'm paying a hefty premium on shoes that just don't last, I just have to say, "Sorry, U.S. manufacturer. You just cut costs too much."
It's a bitter pill to swallow.

Know the feeling for the exact same reason. I'm actually wearing the "just starting to come apart" pair right now. They're at about 6-8 months, I think. I'm trying to get at least a couple more weeks out of them if not a whole month or two, then I can trash them and start on a new pair just before i have to move and have one less thing to fit in the suitcases.
Sucks too, as NB are some of the best shoes for my foot shape. Not a lot of other brands are near as comfortable.
I don't remember if mine are the Made in America type or not, admittedly.

I'm also on the NB footwear bandwagon due to years of dealing with plantar fasciitis off and on. And I have a size 14. NB is the only tennis shoe manufacturer I have found that fits my feet well and fits within my budget.

Have I ever told you the story about how U.C. Berkeley's offensive line got sent to Tae Kwon Do to improve their foot speed?
Our instructor, a real live Grand Master from Korea, felt this was insulting and refused to teach them, putting me in charge of their training.
Never has a group of 300+ pound men so feared a teensy little 155-pound instructor.

Grand Master: Mr. Home! What are you doing? Why aren't you hitting them full strength?NobodysHome: They're too slow to block me so I'd just be beating on them.
GM: They came here to learn speed. Teach them!
So yeah. They were just way too slow because mass matters and my sensei didn't want me hitting them at anything less than full strength.
I know they got bruises. I have no idea whether they learned.
But I'm sure it was manly for them and they got to talk about "that little jerk with the mohawk".
I mean, let's be honest: If any of them had ever managed to lay a hand on me they would've cheerfully ripped my arms and legs off with little difficulty.

It might be.
It's a combination of the 3 action economy and monks in general (plus the juggler or staff acrobat archetypes also help).
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I mean, my personal “fix” for PF monk speed/etc. use is:
- speed: one additional +5 ft. step per round plus one per round every two levels; expend two (or more) to go through difficult+ terrain as normal for such; unlike normal 5 ft. Step, always get these (even if moved) unless somehow prevented from moving
- jump: always treat it as a 10 ft. running start, no upper limit on height, reduce all DCs by an amount equal to their monk level (minimum 0/automatic success); spend 1 ki to make another jump check
This pretty much fixes everything for movement combat wise.
Monks get an upper increase of +55 ft./round; they get that speed almost no matter what, they can expend 2 to go through difficult terrain, and you don’t have to worry about a monk moving however many feet when running (they can still run, of course, but they get their extra five foot steps unless somehow prevented from moving), do the movie monk thing of jump up walls by jumping back and forth between them, and your jump is rocking anyway.
Minimal work for system alteration, and usually gets what most people want from mobile monk stuff.
That and the MoMS, and Maneuver monks usually get good feels (though I bolster maneuvers in general).
Discord works again, but my computer decided to crawl up its own... armpit, yeah... and refuse to move, so I’m just gonna turn that off and stick with my phone.

I don't really have a problem with monk speed, but they can definitely use the boost to their combat ability. Unchained helps with that, to some degree, but the big issue is the problem with the inability of Death By A Thousand Cuts to transfer well into a system with per-attack DR. That's the main thing I think, at this point, I need a workaround for.
