@packetcat Maybe @HauntedOwlbear has an idea? I know they do write about/review some games themselves.

@schratze Sharks sort of have infinite teeth? (they all get replaced continuously): https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sharks-never-run-out-of-teeth/

Apparently there are two types of mosquitoes in socal right now. The type that bit me a few weeks ago where the bites itch but are tolerable. And the one that bit me Sunday & Monday. Where the bites seem like nothing for the first 24 h and then get so bad clothing irritates them. The one on my upper arm is right below where my t-shirt sleeve ends and the hem made it into a giant welt yesterday. And I have three more of this type that started itching last night/this morning. And the itching is really bad.

And all I want to do is scratch even though I know it won't help and will make things worse in the long run.

Took me a sadly long time to figure out the tiny figure at 2, 1.5 cm in today's xkcd was a kid with a pair of heelies*. I haven't seen any kids wearing those in years!

Apparently this should be spelled heelys, but that's also the brand name.
