I do this thing where I pop my ears (like when pressure changes from altitude) and then it's like I'm hearing my breathing inside of my sinuses or something. When I breathe this way, it effectively blocks conversations I don't want to overhear. Do other people do this, or am I odd?

I can't block my nose in that way. I tried when your comment came in, but I can't conceive of how to do it.

With the ear popping thing, I just hear the rushing of my breath. I can see how you might be able to hear your heart. I might be making this up in my head, but I feel like maybe I could hear it when I was younger.

Wait a minute. If I hold my jaw right, I do get a very short rumbling apart from my breath. Is that what you guys mean?

I wonder what would happen in the same scenario but with John Constantine or Dr. Fate?

God help the poor mathematical geniuses who accidentally discover that math. If they're lucky, they end up working for the Laundry.

So that explains the apparent undead working for them...I only read the first book or three and it's been a minute. This is the sign for me to go back and finish the series.

Alpha Centauri with the Alien Crossfire dlc

Best 4x ever.

That would be phenomenal, but I imagine it's unlikely.

However, if we're in the realm of unlikely scenarios, maybe they can give me a follow-up to Xcom: Enemy Within that proceeds from an Xcom victory in the first game. I never got into Xcom 2 because it ignored the buildup to the greater enemy foreshadowed at the end of Enemy Within. Not knocking those who liked what we got...it just didn't work for me.
