I have no shame for enjoying the entire Rick Riordan Olympian / Norse / Roman series. But I did have “reading to kid before bed” as an excuse.
Seeing all these comments on use of ACs… what happens if it cumulatively overloads the grid and you get blackouts?
Is there a Plan B?
Don’t mix wasabi with soy sauce? So… chuck it into your mouth like a gumball?

It will totally make sense after the 'roid shot.
How long before they just cut out the middle-men and 3D print you an attachable penis at puberty?
Appstore for penises. Calling it now.
Some Costcos still have them. Used to send checks and cash to the back office once they hit a limit. Guessing not so much any more.
The High Jumpers.
