I guess IC deleted his account?

IIRC, there's a large solar storm hitting us?
Yes I did RC.

Solar storm brings spectacular Northern Lights to sky-watchers as far south as Texas

I'm not sure what their "Godrank(tm)" technology is based on.  "Lucifer" being the most popular Roman god implies it is just mentions, which would mean that stuff like mentions of the Tom Ellis TV show based on the Mike Carey comic based on the Gaiman comic based on folklore based on the Bible would count towards the Roman god of the morning star.

But Tithonus being ranked higher than Zeus breaks that theory.  Who mentions Tithonus?

I expect mine started with 0001; this definitely isn't a new account.

Here's another, if you want to go even deeper.

By the author of a pretty good geeky web comic and his wife.
 

Just finished "Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne" on hard difficulty.  It's a hack and slashy adventure puzzle game set in the storyline of the classic web comic.

Good game, some tricky puzzles, and punishingly hard boss fights.  It's an interesting juxtaposition; the non-boss-fight sections are quite friendly.  You can't walk over the edge of anything, so there's no precision platforming, and most of the enemies are easily dealt with, but then you reach a boss, and it's all about precision movement and recognizing what attack they're going to use in the fraction of a second before they do it.

I watched bits of a couple playthroughs on Youtube for hints, and it appears that it is MUCH easier on lower difficulties, so those without split second reflexes may be able to manage.

A fun bonus feature in the game is that you can unlock digital editions of the comic, and take them to a comfy chair in the game to read them,.

The deciding factor is that sometime around 2033, there will be more people taking out of SS than there are putting in. That disparity creates a shortfall that will cause my monthly SS benefit to be decreased by approximately 23% if nothing is done to shore up SS in some other way.

It seems like social security will run out about ten years before we get fusion power plants - roughly ten years from whenever the prediction is being made (20 for fusion).

I found a post on the old site from 2013 that marked the date as 2025.
 

Today's "Connections" is on the other end of that spectrum.

Well, time dilation will accomplish the "save" part (for the computer game definition of "save").  Reloading them is the tricky bit.

No.  Very few Stanley Parable achievements have anything to do with the story.

Also, that room is from the "Ultra Deluxe" version, where "Go outside" is twice as hard.
