Comment on I’ve acquired a new superpower in ~games
PigeonDubois Crossing your eyes is arguably better since it can work for images that are wider. Since you can't move your eyes outwards past parallel, you are limited to the width between your own eyes.Crossing your eyes is arguably better since it can work for images that are wider.

Comment on 'Avatar: Seven Havens' series rumor roundup in ~tv

At the time, we labeled everything a rumor as we couldn’t verify 100% of the plot information, but then the floodgates opened, and a slew of leaks happened in the subsequent days to confirm our report.
I don't see how more leaks can confirm earlier leaks without actual evidence, which they did not mention.
Still though, it's exciting to have more content in this universe. LoK never captured me the same way, but ATLA was absolutely incredible and still held up when I rewatched it again earlier this year.
I also had no idea there was an Aang film in the works, I wonder what it will be about.

Even though I hadn't read anything else on the expanded universe, I in no way felt like I was missing anything. The references are obscure and not important to the plot.

It's like taking an unauthorised free trial.
This has always felt dodgy to me, almost but not quite like stealing. Certainly wasteful and entitled.

You mean you short circuited your stovetop somehow from the outside? That doesn't sound like it should be possible. Was it a resistive heating stove, or induction?
