You guys are getting paid shirts?

Look, I'm sorry, but, while I can't speak for you, I would prefer to not go around without a shirt, thanks. So yes I'm getting one. I'm sure you understand.

Ah, you done stating out the spellthief?

I haven't start making the spellthief yet.

[Peelee]

Have you thought about making a thread for it on the 3. 5 forum for interested people to follow?

Well I already make an optimization thread about building K'yorl Horlbar. So yeah.

Sorry Peelee.

[Peelee]

Sorry Peelee.

For what? I just thought it'd be a way to get more dedicated feedback from a wider audience, is all. Nothing to apologize for.

[Bartmanhomer]

Anyway, I used to have a friend on Facebook who thinks that Pandemic is a scam and he refused to wear a face mask. We argue and I block him permanently off of my friend because obviously he an idiot and I don't want to associate people like that.

Oh, I thought people would be mad at my habitfor starting conversations in inappropriate places.

Good for you, some people have intresting but who am I,someone who believes firmly in both bigfoot and UFOs, to complain about conspiracy theories?

I know right. I don't know why I keep associating myself with idiots who don't have any logic and reasoning at all. I myself believes in space aliens but not conspiracy theories.

[Tarmor]

I default to 'she' because like 90% of my friends identify as either female or Chinook. Even if I know somebody's male odds are I'll use she at some point.

The Boeing CH-47 is defined as "she"? Is this just that model or it this the norm for helicopters now days?

[Bartmanhomer]

*scrub the post, scrub the quote*

Still they cold over there? Oh well, hope it gets warmer over the summer.

It all started when people continually misgendered them and it just stuck...

Look, it fluctuates, and it's been rainy lately and I'm always cold. So, yes, that's one thing... but also, unlike some people, I don't exactly want to go about flashing my chest at people. Differences in acceptability and awkwardness there. You get my drift?

I wasn't suggesting wearing nothing, just pointing out it doesn't h have to a be a shirt

I'm sure that everybody this forum is completely uninterested in you flashing your chest. Just wearing a shirt because somebody have it to you isn't the only option, be your own ninja!

Okay, that's fair. Touché.
I didn't know that we were going to get into semantics here.

You've never met me in person I take it


I finished watching The Romans last night. It's the least engaging Doctor Who story I've ever seen, there's a good three episode serial in there but it needs to be played far more seriously (especially Nero). It took me over a month to watch the thing because the first two episodes just bored me

Guess I'm over hallway through the surviving Hartnell stories though, although apparently it's still a few serials until comedy Daleks (any many until baseball bats).

I know of a place where you would likely not have an issue always being cold. Not sure if you'd like that, though.

The Romans contains one of my favourite scenes in all of Dr Who. Who needs a sonic srewdriver or psychic paper when you have a lyre and a bedsheet?

Remember when the sonic screwdriver just moved objects? (Mostly small ones as I remember, although Who has always been inconsistent.) You know, instead of being a 'do anything with technology' device, you didn't need a 'deadlock seal' as an ordinary maglock would have worked fine.

And yes, there are some very good scenes in it (I like the gladiator fight, it's one of the few times where not being able to hit your opponent with your series makes sense for the characters), but overall I just found it a bit bloated. Even compared to most of Who.

[Peelee]

Has the sonic screwdriver ever been used as a screwdriver? I remember the Doctor completion that it doesn't work on wood, but if the wood has screws, then, ya know, it should.

Yes, the very first two times it showed up. Then never again.

[Anonymouswizard]

Has the sonic screwdriver ever been used as a screwdriver?

The question is not 'has it ever been as the screwdriver'. The question is 'are there any surviving insurances of it being used as a screwdriver?'

There are some later instances in the classic series where it might be being used for a similar role (in The Sontaran Experiment it's used to fix some rather small machines), but it did get empowered rather quickly. However it was not the solve anything tool of the modern series, and as I remember whole serials would go by without it being required. If the Doctor wanted to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow it wasn't the only tool for the job.
