My gut tells me “maybe”

Believe it or not, a chaotic neutral or lawful good girl with a flame throwing robot dog. There are some nuances if you’re using Pathfinder.

Not OP, but the Lodge seasoning guide is a pretty good starting point. Cast iron being used forever is proof of how resilient it can be, there’s not too many things you can do that are irreparable.

Also, you don’t really need to baby it as much as most people say. Just keep using it and it’ll keep getting better.

Good lord these things were an 11/10. The peanut butter was god-like.

The same idiots that tried to tell us that NFTs were “totally going to change the world bro, trust me”

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

Think of it on a scale of 1-10. High floor means it’s not a stinker, so worst ranking would be in the 4/10 - 5.5/10 range. Low ceiling means it’s not going to be an all-timer, so the best ranking would be in the 6/10 - 7.5/10 range. Basically you’ll never HATE it, but you’re also never going to LOVE it.

Dean Koontz is kind of like the RC Cola of horror/suspense novelists:

• See RC Cola in the store
• “Hmmmm, it’s been a while, but I THINK I liked RC the last time I got it”
• Purchase and consume RC Cola
• “I kind of wish this was a Coke, but it’s not that bad, might as well finish”
• Several years pass, go back to step 1

As a side note, I LOVED Dean Koontz books back in the 80’s/90’s. They were fun and quick reads that are in the “high floor, low ceiling” realm of books.

Yet surprisingly, not a “growth” industry. I’ll see myself out.

I’ll see your over the top Volcano scene and raise you the grandma in Dante’s Peak dying via boiling-acid-lake-water death scene. How both of these movie came out at the same time AND had so many weird similarities will forever be beyond me.

It really depends on which version of the report got delivered.

My great-grandfather’s rocking chair. I don’t know the exact date, but it’s from the early 1900’s and was refurbished some time in the 50’s. Still in amazing shape and solid as hell.

There are dozens of us!

I don’t know if it’s the same stat buffs/debuffs across all the Elder Scrolls games, but the one OP was likely talking about was the Redguard race in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (stat sheet here). And yes, it was pretty messed up.

The atmospheres of pressure gag on Futurama is still one of the best that show ever did.

I appreciate the honest reply, and I hope I didn’t come across as condescending in my last post as it was not meant to be an attack, but more of a “huh?” statement. All of those are valid concerns, but I would argue that while not perfect, they’re a much better version of Sam’s/Walmart/Target, and their bulk goods offering doesn’t put them in direct competition with smaller mom and pop stores due to consumers not being able to get quantities/brands that they always want. It’s also very supportive to markets like local restaurants and stores that don’t have built in supply chains that may not want to shop at conglomerate supply stores.

Short version, I don’t necessarily agree with you, but I appreciate your perspective and the well thought out response.

At least half of these are the “Why he say fuck me for!?” meme. Costco actually treats their employees well, has razor thin margins, keeps profits low to maximize value, and pays living wages. Also, $1.50 hotdogs in 2023 is bordering on insanity as far as value is concerned.

I also have no idea how you truly avoid all of these without living like Ted Kaczynski.

There’s always a canal. Or an inlet. Or a fjord…

Roguebook. It’s a roguelite deck building game that has really fun new mechanics that is probably my favorite deck builders that’s come out in the last few years. Instead of going node to node in a branching path like Slay the spire, you have to reveal the map via “inks” and “towers” that open up the map piece by piece and you gain cards via stores and wells that can be skipped (though they tie perks to the total number of cards in your deck which gives fun risk/rewards). Additionally, there are multiple characters and you have to take 2 of them on each run which means you have to juggle two decks at once.

The only caveat will lay out would be that it’s not for trophy hunters. About 10% of the trophies are nearly impossible unless you play an upsetting number of runs. It’s a fun game, but it’s not the only game you’ll play for the rest of you life.
