My mother did that shit all the time. I distinctly remember one time she tried to make spaghetti with calamari. She had never cooked squid before so we ended up eating what tasted like tomato sauce covered erasers.

Wait until you learn a second language and start learning town names in a new country. Here we have such amazing town names like “The Eyebrow” and “Camp”.

(I just chose the silliest ones I know, there are normal town names too)

The song does read like a DnD adventure:

Now it’s dark and you seem to have lost him

But you’re hopelessly lost yourself

Stranded with a murderer

You creep silently through the underbrush

Aha, in the distance

A small cottage with a light on

Hope

You move stealthily toward it

But your leg, ah, it’s caught in a bear trap

I started downhill and enduro mountain biking when I was 40. 2 years later I’m pretty decent at it. I take some pretty large jumps and drops and go down crazy steep technical shit. You’re never to old to learn. Just make sure you wear the protective gear for the sport and you’ll do fine. Also you’ll feel amazing when you conquer an obstacle that used to give you trouble.

As long as whales keep buying stuff they’ll keep putting microtransactions in games. Start making fun of people that buy skins and horse armor and maybe people will stop buying shit that has no value.

And if you use rhododendron nectar you end up with hallucinogenic honey:

collecting a bunch of nectar and evaporating off some of the water

That’s basically the process to make real maple syrup. They just boil sap instead of letting it evaporate to get syrup. I bet if we could collect nectar and figure out the bee’s gut bacteria we could make honey.

As a barbarian that scene is great.

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not “Mr. the White”. You’re “Mr. the White”. I’m Mithrandir so that’s what you call me. You know, that or The Grey Pilgrim, or uh Olórin, or the Wandering Wizard if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.

Man, every time I think Queen’s Gambit was far fetched some new craziness happens in the world of chess.

Things like that or when someone downvotes all my comments just make me laugh. It means you got into someone’s head so hard that they had a tantrum.

Ooof, not what I would have chosen for S tier but to each his own.

An Australian man is set to appear in court after being arrested for the alleged theft of more than A$600,000 (€359,880) worth of commemorative coins linked to the popular children’s television show “Bluey”, police said.

The 47-year-old is accused of stealing 63,000 unreleased, limited-edition A$1 coins from a secure warehouse in the Sydney suburb of Wetherill Park in June, according to “Strike Force Bandit”, a special unit police set up to investigate the theft.

Those numbers don’t add up. How are they worth ten times face value? Is bluey that popular?

and then you all get to find out what transpires.

You knuckleheads just unleashed a Djinni. Roll for initiative,

100% chance the dog speaks with a strong cockney accent.

The Neutral Zone (the episode in question) has people that died and then were frozen to try and revive later. The space capsule was in orbit above a planet not en route to another planet. Not exactly the same situation.

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
