Would you believe that I check that site everyday, all because of some random hatracker posting something about it a while ago?

TD: The best thing about Order of the Stick is that it works on both levels. It works from day to day, as a continuing unrelated rambling plot and also as a big plot.
I am a fan, despite my total lack of D&D knowledge.

I found today's "light on the funny" that I've come to expect from TOOTS. It's usually the funniest thing I read.

<-- Doesn't know how to do the fancy quote thing.
ME TOO!!
And not just OOTS, I was suckered into two webcomics by Hatrack which now consume like 5 minutes everyother day that I can never get back.

"That's awfully silly of you, considering that it only updates three times a week."
Tis not! It should be updated every day. So it's only natural to check daily. What's silly is that it only updates three times a week. Definitely an unnatural state of affairs. I mean why bother even having seven days in a week if four of them are gonna be wasted?

I love this compic, I check 4 times a week...but only because I forget what day of the week it is sometimes. Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001

It seems to always be late. It's supposed to update on Monday, Wednsday and Friday, but in reality it's usually a day later.

You got me all excited thinking that he'd posted a Thursday strip for some reason.
I didn't think that yesterday's strip was lame, but I'm impatient to find out what's going to happen next, so I generally feel frustrated when strips don't further the main story. If that had been an existing strip in a huge unread-by-me strip archive, though, I'd have liked it quite a bit. I'm definitely that way with PintSize centered Questionable Content episodes for exactly that reason.

Oh yes. Me too. I've got a smattering of D&D knowledge, probably less, but still enjoy it.

The author has actually said that when he says it updates MWF he means the comic will be up by midnight (I forget which timezone) on the day in question.
The part that makes that frustrating is that sometimes it's posted early and so we keep checking throughout the day MWF anyway.

Anti-maven, you should have gotten hooked the last time Telp posted it. I only had to read through 200 comics or so, then. Posts: 2849 | Registered: Feb 2002

Does anybody else really enjoy the ongoing red roach subplot? (And I use the term "plot" for lack of a better.)

I'm waiting for Erfworld to build up more of an archive before I start with it. I really love sitting down and reading through a couple hundred strips in a given comic at a time.
And yes, I love the demon roaches!

I hardly notice the roaches, I do find the evolution of the evil cleric enjoyable. It will be good to see how the fight turns out, it looks to me as if the potions of Heroism will be the tipping point, they should give the city a numerical advantage in rate of killing that will put them over the top. Then the Shogun that fled will no doubt come back and make a power grab. It is fun fun fun...

I can see that the writer is really pulling for the bad guys, elementals as projectiles. Pretty cool.

quote:The two most useful properties of the metal form are corrosion resistance, and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. [4] In its unalloyed condition, titanium is as strong as steel, but 45% lighter.[5] There are two allotropic forms[6] and five naturally occurring isotopes of this element; 46Ti through 50Ti with 48Ti being the most abundant (73.8%).[7] Titanium's properties are chemically and physically similar to zirconium.
...
Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strengths of about 63,000 psi, equal to that of steels alloys, but are 45% lighter.[5] Titanium is 60% heavier than aluminium, but more than twice as strong[5] as the most commonly used 6061-T6 aluminium alloy. Certain titanium alloys (e.g., Beta C) achieve tensile strengths of over 200,000 psi (1.4 GPa). [19] However, titanium loses strength when heated above 430 °C (800 °F)[5]

A friend of mine has a titanium wedding ring. He told me if he put his hand in a garbage disposal, the ring would be fine. I told him it was probably best not to test that theory.

BTW, titanium rings being dangerous because EMTs can't cut them is a myth. I looked into one, but went with platinum instead.

Now I want to know what that chemistry teacher showed me, because I was able to bend it quite easily. I must be mistaken, because all of the links I've read state that Ti is quite hard.
I've been operating under the assumption that Ti wasn't hard, it was just added to steel to give it a light weight and flexibility. I suppose it still does that, but I didn't realize it was hard in and of itself.

Does titanium anneal like copper does? If you heat copper until it glows, then let it cool off slowly, it will be bendable between your fingers. Maybe the teacher was demonstrating that?

Made me mad last night, I stayed up past midnight to catch it and it did not go up until this morning some time!

Today's Erfworld contains a mention of Ender's Game!
I think this is a really clever comic that's definitely going places in its completed form, and what better proof than citing Ender.

Kwea, the two EMTs I've spoken to about this (who have experience with it) as well as almost all the sources I can find on the web would disagree with the EMTs you know. The stuff can be cut with a dremmel tool. It's harder than steel, but it's still cuttable.

You know, I can't figure out how Rich is able to make two red dots and a bunch of criss-crossy lines convey "comically alarmed skull," but he pulled that one off. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999
