This troubles me.

The phlebotomist told me I have some vein scarring and that eventually I won't be able to donate platelets, but when I asked her how long until then she said she can't tell but on a scale of years.

So I'm curious if it's a common thing or just something that might happen.

I'm just curious how often this happens, for blood, platelets or plasma. It would be a nice problem to have, to be told nah we're good, every patient is getting what they need.

For some reason I was imagining Monza as a black woman. And it's not even culturally close to me. I live in a very white country and see very few black people irl but for some reason in my mind Monza kept switching to black. I'm now trying to imagine her as Rebecca Ferguson.

And Calder is stubbornly blond.

Well okay, 3000 1000 years but in our time it's only 6 years.

I'm among the youngest oldest millennials, so for me it feels like The Simpsons have been around forever while Futurama is this cool new show. At my current age, media from 6 years ago is new.

So I'm curious about other generations of fans, how old does Futurama feel to you? Is it old enough to be considered a "classic" or maybe The Simpsons feel new to you as well, because you grew up on Leave It to Beaver or whatever.

Specifically the vision Rikke had about Hildi and Calder's remaining son and them being tutored/groomed by Bayaz. I feel like the author could be writing himself in a corner with that foreshadowing, if you could use that word for something that overt.

What if he can't make those characters work? What if he gets a better idea?

I'd love for Hildi to dispense some payback on Leo and a bit on Rikke too, but I feel it would've been better if the author hadn't mentioned her after she parted ways with Orso.

As for Calder's son, is being a good swordsman that important any more? Looking at all the books, being a cripple is far more effective for getting in a position of power than being a good fighter.
