Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
Considering DC Comics, that isn't hugely surprising. Superman has flown through black holes. It's Superman-tier threats that OL usually pulls out the singularity projectors against, and, well, singularities just tend to be more "inconvenient" to DC's top end humanoids than "instantly lethal."

But more seriously, for something to be visible in space, either you need to be basically right next to it, or it needs to be truly huge.
Hmm... How famous is Bleez? It could be that OL wasn't the target. Rather, Bleez also happened to also be outside of a dense population center, but in range of a defense platform... A false flag attack on a military target that has a popstar as the "look what they took from us!" martyr-face...
Human produce isn't categorically illegal to sell. In (at least most of) the US and, from a quick search, the UK, selling breast milk is legal and largely unregulated. Selling your hair is legal. Selling blood plasma is legal in the US, selling blood or semen is a little more complicated and...
This is an interesting idea, but the answer is still probably "stick to trucks." Using trains is advantageous over longer distances, or when shipments are too heavy or bulky for trucks. The latter may be true, but portals remove the "longer distance" aspect. Portals also remove the speed...

"You know, Paul had a point. There's one way to make sure they never hurt anyone again. Rehabilitation is a lovely ideal, but it doesn't seem to be realistic... I think I need to talk to Frank."
Good way to avoid getting more side quests added to the journal. The desire-vision perk skips some of the dialog, but it also skips the prompt to accept the side quests. Real pain, sometimes.
Going back, geeze, two years? But I just finished The Laundry Files series, so I went back to reread the Laundry, Filed chapters (part 1 link). I didn't actually realize that these were written before A Conventional Boy or The Regicide Report were published. Anyway, killing Fabian Everyman and...
Yes, he is quite British. This shouldn't be a surprise.
Anyway, American cheese works well for burgers because it melts well. That's it. It has sodium citrate or a similar emulsifying salt that helps with the melting point and fluid retention, which lets it both melt at a relatively low...
Zoat has shrunk things down to just the Milky Way. Ex, the Green Lanterns operate in assigned sectors of the galaxy, rather than sectors of the universe. Read in that context, the "in the galaxy" didn't stick out; it's just the region they work in.
Possible that portals off planet fail but...
