    what is with this site and one piece articles? they seem to be written by people who haven't seen the show or just got the cliffnotes versions.

    Just hang in there, guys.

    Meanwhile, David Boreanaz is the latest to speak out against Joss Whedon regarding the toxic work environment on the set of Buffy. Gotta appreciate karma.

    Also, an interesting new gameplay video for upcoming Kimetsu no Yaiba game.

    Almost all of the recent CBR articles are that way.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    I know there's unrealistic expectations to think they'll get the power back after 40 minutes like they texted, but it's been several hours since then...What the hell.
    If it comes to it, huddle up in the smallest room in your house. Easier to keep it warm.

    Know it's a joke, but at the same time, people are going to die because of this. Know a few have already, because of carbon monoxide poisoning while attempting to keep warm.

    So yeah, woke up, charged up my phone in my car, and...Still no power.

    Reminds me of how my husband and I pretty much close off a section of the house that we don't use so that we only have to heat the area that we do use each Winter. It is easier to heat a small area than to try and heat an entire house. Then again, if you live in a small apartment or house, there isn't much area left to close off.

    I remember going through that during the last few hurricane related power outages. I think the power was out after Sandy for nearly a week. Lets' hope you get yours back sometime today.
