Aha. And thanks. Internet 2 I'd heard of. I'm not sure what it all means, but there you go. So far it sounds a bit like Tad William's Otherland. I suppose I could read up more.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

assuming that they can't bounce off and go hit something else
I think they should bounce. It would explain all sorts of things. Instead of saying, "Someone must have walked on my grave," we'll say, "Someone's coldon particle emitter must have misfired." Much more Buck Rogers-y.

If we were sending the cold, wouldn't it be warmer here?
So I got a bite plate a few weeks ago that was supposed to be covered 80% by insurance. But when I paid at the dentist, the receptionist had the bill made up to look like it was only covered 60%, but the check came today, and it's for 80% coverage! Woohoo!

I know I'm not buying any more clothes this month, but I do need some fancy black hose to wear to the krav holiday party. By fancy I mean really really silky, and with a shimmer if possible.
Any recs?

I think that was part of it. So it's like stealing heat from the future, or something. Or at least from somewhere else.

Swouncing
That had to simplify keeping kosher considerably.
Well, it certainly complicates things, now. At the time, it was just the simple lack of most of the dairy products (or their relatively high prices), so almost all the food was made with meat/chicken. My grandfather could never grasp the notion of a dairy meal.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm a fan of DKNY hosiery, ita. Feels good, looks good, lasts a long time.

Victoria's Secret has some pretty shimmering thigh highs. You looking for full-hose?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Probably not what ita has in mind: Plush Cthulhu slippers
These plush Cthulhu slippers can keep your feet warm even as they damn them to a thousand nameless hells.
