    Epsom salt seems like one of the most British of things.

    Epsom salt appears to be entirely unavailable in the UK. I am le baffled.

    Why do you need it?

    Making bath salts, the base of which is about 2:1 magnesium sulphate:sodium chloride. I could go pilfering from the chemistry department, but the magnesium sulphate they get is the super fine stuff for drying and I want to have the chunkier style.

    Googling seems to indicate that non-Boots chemists might have it, but you have to ask.

    All I know is that it does something with bowel movements, and thus I was terrified of it when my parents supplied it in my childhood chemistry set.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Why would I hate pregnant women? It's right there on the package, and frankly if you can get pregnant then it's probably not that bad.

    It was a poor attempt at a joke.

    Ok, so I'm trying to buy some toys for Child's Play. I went on the Hospital for Sick Kids wishlist on Amazon, I picked something, went to checkout, I selected the hospital as the address to ship to, and got this message:

    We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to a Wish List or gift registry address.

    This has happened with two items so far. Can anyone help?

    Will, teach me Malaphite.

    well keeping in mind that i am kind of a scrub

    what you want to do is start with a doran's ring, heath pot and build up his Q first for laning. I do QEQWQRQ... The Q is that boulder toss thing and it does pretty good damage early on. I like to launch it from bushes, but it's not necessary to do so - it's just a good zoning tactic.

    The big thing to take advantage with malphite during laning is that he has an ablative armor shell as his passive - so the first 120 damage or so that you take will destroy the armor without coming off of health (it scales to a percentage of health throughout the game). The shell regenerates after about 10 seconds of not attacking. What this means in practice is that you can pop into range, toss the boulder, eat whatever their counterattack is, and back off while you wait for your shell to regen. Repeat this until they're low.

    The coup de grace combo is Q,R,(W),E,autoattack,Q. This is boulder > charge/ knock-up > damage buff > shockwave > autoattack > boulder. It does a lot of damage early on and slows/ stuns the enemy. When you harass them down to 400 health or so, you can generally pop that off for a kill even under a tower (make sure you check your mana first).

    Late-game, malphite doesn't do as much damage, but his R/ charge knockup is always a good disruption, his Q/ boulder is always a good snare, and his E/ shockwave works as an attack slow. E scales with armor rather than AP, so it sometimes starts to get decent damage lategame also.

    In terms of equipment, i usually stack MR, HP and Armor. If it's a physical team, i like to stack sunfires since that's armor, HP and damage. I'm playing with the idea of trying to add in a little AD into my build with an atma's or something.

    I could probably do Friday....

    I have a paper due that Monday, a big one, but it requires me to rely on the Art Library which doesn't let you take anything out and has stupid-ass hours, so I'm pretty much just gonna write Friday off as a 'working on paper day,' so....I might as well come up to NYC!
