I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion’s ‘sweetness’. How much difference do you think I’d notice if I used a food processor?
The Chosen One who gets dragged around like a sack of potatoes until they Come Into Their Own and go on to Turn The Tide.
The Wise Yet Enigmatic Sage.
The Sharp-Tongued Princess.
The Rogue With A Heart of Gold.
Plots based on misunderstanding ancient prophecies that are so vaguely written they could be cookie recipes.
Gods that slot into neat roles on a godly table of elements.
Magic systems so detailed and prosaic you may as well call them technology.
Elves that are exactly like every other elf character you’ve ever read about except for one glaring but superficial difference which is there to make you think the author’s not plagiarising their own favourite author.
OP, please don’t take medical advice from strangers on the internet. The most confident voice here could be a 12-year old who heard about the medication you’re taking on House MD reruns.
Your country may have a state-organised information line to give you advice about medication. You could call and get an authoritative answer to your question. Or you could ask the staff at any retail chemist. They’ll know, or be able to look it up.
My feed is filled with bad news, which is my fault for using the fediverse as a news feed, but it made me wonder: Which organisations, groups or individual people in the world are doing the most good for our world?

The Great Green Wall initiative. They’re teaching farming methods that restore water tables and greening arid areas across middle Africa, stopping the advance of the Sahara desert. They supply the expertise and the materials, and locals do the work. In the process they’re also reversing the exodus of young people to the cities, because increased/improved agriculture provides jobs for them in their home villages.
I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had “SKIN?” written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it’s about?
I’ve been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I’d really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn’t be poked, scan what shouldn’t be scanned, and things proceed from there.
I haven’t checked in on this game since around launch. Anyone want to bring me up to speed on what’s happening? I gather the latest expansion pack is priced differently than prior DLC?...
I recently watched a Wyloch’s Armory clip about using painter’s tape as edge-cladding for corrugated cardboard tiles. Has anyone tried this? Does the tape take acrylic paint well? If I let segments of tape overlap at the corners, how thick will it look?
