Yeah, that’s a new one on me too. Where I’m from, “Merc” is usually gearhead speak for a Mercury not a Mercedes. Then again, I’m old and out of it, so what do I know.

And neither is from the 1980s.
That’s just not so. J.M. Barrie’s book popularized Wendy as a girls name, but it predates the book by centuries.
Good points all. Blizzard never has prioritized communication.
Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that “You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression.” No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.
Nice, thanks for digging that up. It’s different than I remembered, but the important part is the same, Chewie got a medal.
I haven’t read it since middle school, more than 40 years ago, but I think I recall the Star Wars novelization (of A New Hope’s screen play) stated that Chewie was getting a medal too, but that he’s have to wait because Leia was to short to present it to him the same as she did for Luke and Han.
NA beer is not basically “beer flavored soda.” The only thing the two have in common is carbonation and even that is produced differently in each. Soda is flavored syrup mixed with water that has been carbonated by forcing CO2 through it. NA beer is brewed the same as regular beer, and carbonation occurs during this process. For some NA beers, fermentation is arrested before significant amounts of alcohol form, while others are subjected to a vacuum to lower the boiling point so that the alcohol can be boiled out with a minimum effect of the flavor.
PSA: if you do stop to talk to someone at the supermarket, don’t do it in the middle of the fucking aisle. Between you, your friend and your respective carts, you create an obstruction for everyone else who just wants to get their damn groceries and get out.

The Mercury Eight was a runner in its day.
