Hoverpants or nothing.

Do you really want spinning blades in close proximity to those parts?

Post by **ImLawBoy** » Wed Mar 14, 2018 2:30 pm

More importantly, who wants to be wearing pants while they hover?

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Wed Mar 14, 2018 2:35 pm

Hoverpants have no spinning blades. Hoverpants are magic.
Have we all forgotten our Morrowind lore?

And for ILB, perhaps we could work with the Mages Guild to improve to HoverBelt or compromise with HoverKilt for those that wish to hover freeballin' style.

It's only a small step from picking up cans to taking off your scalp.

Humans programmed the computer? Hopefully? Otherwise their next move is to create the scalp removing drone. And we were nice enough to build the first door opening robots to help them in their conquest.

Dubai’s Skyline Is a Monument to Oppression, Not Prosperity.

The city’s glitzy buildings and highways — traditionally seen as monuments to the entire region’s economic success — are testaments to the work done by migrant workers from Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

Human Rights Watch estimates that over 5 million low-paid migrant workers currently reside in the United Arab Emirates alone, a population far exceeding the country’s nationals and largely responsible for shaping the region into the economic and architectural juggernaut it is today. Yet these workers are all but invisible in the cities they built. Stowed away in ramshackle compounds and forced to work long hours in oppressive heat, they’re deliberately kept away from the public eye.

As soon as Monir arrived in Dubai, the construction company immediately confiscated his passport. The company then told him that he would be working 14-hour days in the desert heat — where, as The Independent reports, tourists are “advised not to stay outside for even five minutes in summer” — for less than a quarter of the wages he’d been promised.

When Monir protested, the company told him to go home if the conditions weren’t satisfactory. “But how can I go home? You have my passport, and I have no money for the ticket,” he said. “Well, then you’d better get to work,” they replied.

Monir’s living quarters embody the lie he was sold. He lives in a “tiny, poky, concrete cell with triple-decker bunk-beds,” which he shares with 11 other men. The lavatories in the camp — little more than glorified ditches — are “backed up with excrement and clouds of black flies,” filling the entire facility with an unbearable stench. Monir has no access to air conditioning or fans, so the heat is “unbearable. You cannot sleep. All you do is sweat and scratch all night.”

I can't tell a few things about that video:
1. Was that a kid or a little person?
2. Why was this being filmed?
3. Why didn't people go running like lunatics? YouTube tells me that is the standard reaction when a crossover makes someone fall or when shown a magic trick.

As a kid he was my hero because it meant that you could be shorter than 6'4" and be in the NBA.

Isiah Thomas was another.

It was actually posted on OO member Redwarlord's facebook page, who is currently living in China while his wife teaches art history at one of the American colleges there.

So I fully expect we'll never hear from him again...
