Wth… shows Thursday on my machine…

If you don’t test for it, it WILL rear its ugly head again.

Anecdotal, but I’ve seen banana plants push out leaves vertically nearly that fast at their peak growth. Each leaf can be close to 6ft long, maybe longer. They shoot straight up out of the top of the plant when they come out, so they do temporarily add that much height.

When the leave gets completely pushed out, it unfolds and leans to the side and in the end only adds a foot or less to the full height.

Not sure if that counts, but they are fun plants to have. I’m in Midwest America… so you don’t have to be in a tropical area to grow them, but we do have to cut it down every year and cover it in mulch and leaves to protect it.

Our biggest gets to 16-18ft tall every year. One of it’s children we’ve given away is a bit bigger.

Haven’t gotten back around to the Ultimate Alliance games yet, but I recently picked up the XMen Legends games that preceed them on the OG Xbox.

Still quite a bit of fun.

I actually found and picked up Midnight Sons when I was looking on the PS store to see if those games had been ported.

I love Midnight Sons. It’s very similar in a lot of ways but the gameplay is quite different. I’m told it’s like XCom games by the same company, but I’ve never played that.

Interacting with your team back at base is definitely bigger than in XMen legends, and for some gamers it was too much… a bit of ‘friendship simulator’ to it to increase team chemistry etc.

The gameplay is card based. I recommend looking up a video if curious. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it really love it. Count me as one of them.

His name was Marauder Shields…

Well, presumably more than a few dozen light years away. A few dozen lightyears is nothing on a cosmic scale.

The meme is correct. I can’t bring myself to rewatch it in your link.

That said… good game and plenty to be pleased about.

Ah, I could see that. It can be read either way, but I think the author intended it to be read this way. ‘Wow!’ As the reaction to the father’s statement that he won’t have to work if he does something he loves.

Yes how is the text supposed to for?

Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.

Perhaps your award was the friends you made all along…

If you’re still using live journal in 2024, you should win SOMETHING.

We had a Garden Spider for one summer on the corner of our porch.

She was so chill and we loved having her around. They often rebuild that beautiful web every night.

She laid a few sacs, but none of her children stuck in our yard, sadly.

Is it your comic? If so, good job.

I consider myself to have a decent vocabulary, but I would not have gotten sinuous’ definition correct.

Harbinger I knew, but it’s nice to see In a positive example.

The other two were new to me.

They may not have planned to invade… but I think they did plan to defeat… which is all the quote really is implying IMO.

I don’t think anybody claimed that the Nazis coined the phrase though.

Seriously. I NEVER know what she had for breakfast.

It’s worse! 9 syllables!

I assumed that’s what it was, or something like it. Horrifying. And they use some of those bad aminations on banner etc. Like they’re proud of it. Lmao

Just tried this.

So fast!

This guy’s AI! Everybody grab a pitchfork!
