Are the real communists kept around back with the real scotsmen?

Barley tea is delicious.

Not nuts but very close, they’re called “achenes” (ə-ˈkēn). The only Important difference is that nuts have a thick, protective shell but we’re being specific here.

Yeah I got a cheap Harbor Freight jigsaw and I hate it. Cut line indicator is useless, blade slips out of the roller guide so the cut doesnt stay square or straight, the keyless clamp is so inflexible I’d rather just have the classic screw-tight mechanism…

I put it away and used a circular saw, coping saw, and japanese pull saw to finish the project rather than keep fighting with it.

There’s also ethical concerns regarding sustainable fishing practices.

Specter! I should replay those games.

Single-handedly? Nah. It pulled a lot of existing ideas together though, and it’s certainly responsible for the popularity. Another Minecraft influence is early-access.

I used to have carefully organized folders so I could accurately represent my face when.

That’s one of the weirder ways I’ve seen to say “I don’t enjoy competitive games and everyone who does is stupid.”

Why assume that an illusion must have a constructor?

I’d rather be nuked than starve to death.

A lot of those island colony-states aren’t self-sufficient and will have massive famines when the trade routes stop.

Individually? Maybe. That’s why worker solidarity is important. Let the bastard replace the whole team while you’re out front protesting shit pay and long hours.

I had a Game Boy, that got a lot of use.

That assumes that interstellar travel is possible. Physically, economically, socially, there’s a lot of boxes to check for near-light extrasolar expansion (let alone FTL, which probably is impossible)

I think the easy solution to the Fermi Paradox is that we’re stuck in our fish bowl and so is everyone else.

Aliens.

Hey Withers, here’s 100 gold to turn a better character into whatever role I need.

PNW weirdo here. I like things to be green and alive, I like my skin unburned, and I like being able to poke around tide pools on a lonely beach. Clouds and rain help all of that.

It’s currently sunny and about 77°F, which is about as warm as I want it unless I’m going swimming. Late summer when it approaches 100° is miserable, but for now the bright weather is fine and good for the plants.

Raw mushrooms are borderline wasteful to eat. We can’t digest the chitin and cell walls so most of the nutritional value passes straight through.

You can pick anywhere and honestly it’s fine. Lots of people started with modern Who, so that lines up with the average experience, and there are long-running plot arcs you might stumble over if you don’t, but most episodes are fairly self-contained.

Old Who is a different show. Somewhat akin to the original Star Trek, it requires a certain ability to ignore the experience and budget constraints and pick out the charm. But some of the old Doctors remain fan favorites like Tom Baker, the 4th and longest-running generation.
