I was not prepared for how significant an impression it would on me to not be able to read everything. This already-spooky new location where all the furniture is distinctly far too big for me suddenly felt so much more alien
Volume is not mass, and neither of them is weight. A gram is strictly speaking a measure of mass, and we just consider it to be a unit of weight in casual terms because the only frame of reference the vast majority of us have has reasonably constant gravity so we conflate mass and weight. That you can sort of use grams to measure volume is literally only because the density of common stuff (especially water) is close enough for most purposes. It's kinda like measuring a distance in units of time so long as the method of travel is known. I can say "an hour's walk" and I'm not really measuring distance there but you know roughly how far I mean
Much as I'm generally not keen on CR stuff and will never not be salty about them accidentally turning D&D firbolgs into cow folk, the name "dunamancy" is actually a bit better than that. It's just based on another meaning of the Greek word that "dyna-" comes from. This version is better translated as "potentiality" or "possibility". Aristotle used it for a bunch of stuff, so it got brought into English with that meaning as "dunamis". The -mancy bit is definitely just because fantasy stuff uses it to mean any magic though
He's primarily unpopular with those of us that are against the monarchy as an institution rather than because of the man himself. If he dies that doesn't get rid of the institution, it just changes which rich prick currently has the job
If he gets the scented candle treatment it'll be because he's well into "alternative medicine", not because that's standard practice here. He has a track record of promoting homeopathy in particular
I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding
But for so long as live service games make the insane amounts of money that they currently do, this is going to be how it is. Indie devs are a blessing
MAD only works if your enemy thinks that you really will nuke them about it. In this case Russia has to believe that America, the UK, or France will nuke Russia over, say, Poland or Romania. It's possible that NATO leadership thinks that Russian leadership does not think that the three NATO nuclear powers would follow through.
Finishing up a bit of commission work, going foraging for some pine needles, and meeting a friend to celebrate his birthday. All in all I'm quite looking forward to it
Maybe, maybe not. Spruce needles can do the same preservative job as hops do in beer while creating a different flavour, and some regional styles of beer (as in, an alcoholic drink made by fermenting barley or wheat) use spruce needles in this role. In other cases it is something more like this post though.
If it tastes anything like pine needles smell, I'll probably enjoy it. I live in an area with plenty of conifers and already have plenty of those bottles. I'll try it out next week and let you know.
My father was both married and not a Norse god upon my birth. I'm pretty sure I wasn't even divinely fated to kick ass. I just don't know what to do with this song.
This is basically the entire premise of Heaven's Vault and (I think, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet) Chants of Sennaar
