    In Just Quest, my OSR rules light game, all PCs are good. And they get two traits where they describe themselves with a keyword or two up to a single sentence. If they try to do something and one of the traits might help the DM can give them plus on their roll.

    Should we start doing VHS and DVD releases?

    hairylarry,

    @ajroach42

    DVDs work. They distribute like CDs and they play in DVD players or computers. And it's a digital format so, auto archived.

    VHS is basically a not good format that nobody can play anymore. That's why VHS archiving is so important. Without VHS archiving we have a hole in history. #video #DVD #VHS

    DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Colossus
    From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-31

    https://sbblues.com/2024/03/31/dj-hairy-larry-presents-njhb-playing-colossus/

    Thanks Marty, Today we're going to hear a radio edit of one of NJHB's most played songs.

    NJHB had their first recording session at HairyLarryLand on December 29, 2012. From that session we released our first album, "Circular Logic" that included my song "Colossus".

    In 2013 we were the New Jazz House Band playing once a month at TheArts@311 in downtown Jonesboro. Every month the personnel varied and every month we released another album.

    On February 2, 2012, we recorded the album "Colossus", with the cover art showing the Colossus Of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

    Then on July 6, 2013, we recorded our most accessible album, "Cookin' For Piper" and we closed the show with "Colossus".

    zhang.dianli, to tea

    I occasionally like a nice (yes, I'm one of those snobs who says that it's not if it's not the leaf of camellia sinensis). I recently got a couple of tisanes that are of the family of "八宝茶" (bā bǎo chá or "eight-treasure tea").¹ These are generally considered "medicinal" teas, but I drink them as beverages when I want something hot and soothing without the caffeine.

    The first is "红豆薏米茶养生茶花茶" (hóngdòu yìmǐ chá yǎngshēng chá huāchá or "Healthy Red Bean and Job's Tears Tisane") containing "大麦、红豆、薏苡仁、赤小豆、芡实、栀子、苦荞、橘皮" (dàmài, hóngdòu, yìyǐ rén, chìxiǎodòu, qiànshí, zhī zi, kǔ qiáo, jú pí or "barley, red bean, coix seed, red adzuki bean, gorgon fruit, gardenia, tartary buckwheat, orange peel"). This is a bit confusing to me because I was always under the impression that "red bean" and "adzuki bean" were the same thing, so I'm guessing that they're distinguishing between cultivars of the same bean.²

    The second is "红糖姜茶" (hóngtáng jiāngchá or "Brown Sugar Ginger Tisane") containing "红糖、红枣、姜丝、枸杞、重瓣红玫瑰、桂圆、红枣、大麦" (hóngtáng 、 hóngzǎo 、 jiāngsī 、 gǒuqǐ 、 zhòng bàn hóngméiguī 、 guìyuán 、 hóngzǎo 、 dàmài or "brown sugar, red dates, shredded ginger, goji berries, double petal red roses, longan, red dates, barley").

    The first one has a fairly robust flavour of toasted grains with hints of other things. (The orange peel is the strongest of the secondary flavours.) It's rather a nice brew. The second one is OK, but weaker and threadier in the flavour and disappointingly you can't get much of the ginger flavour.

    @tea

    ¹ Yes, in Chinese the word 茶, usually translated as "tea", covers basically all infused or decocted drinks. I don't care. Chinese is not English and vice versa. "Tea" is camellia sinensis.

    ² The thing they're calling "red bean" is ormosia hosiei while the thing they're calling "red adzuki bean" is phaseolus calcaratus ... and I have no idea if this is meaningful.

    A detail of one of the tea bags containing the "Healthy Red Bean and Job's Tears Tisane". It is, unfortunately, a plastic tea bag; in future steepings I will be cutting the bag open and using the contents directly in my cup.
    The colour of the liquor while steeping (very close to the end). I hate to describe it this way, but the liquor is absolutely urine yellow. There's no other colour to compare it to: a very deep yellow.
    Detail shot of the post-steeping tea bag with a clearer view than pre-steeping of the contents.
    The unopened package of the "Brown Sugar Ginger Tisane". It's a plain brown paper bag (plasticized on the inside) with an even deeper red label with all the usual information: brand, artistic photo of the product, etc.

    The colour of the liquor while steeping (very close to the end). This liquor is also yellow, but a far paler yellow that doesn't bring bodily wastes to mind.

    @zhang.dianli@pixelfed.social @tea

    I read a fantasy novel and tisane was all the thing. Everyone would be drinking tisane whenever they got the chance. I thought it was made up for the story. Just shows a little ignorance goes a long ways.

    In his medieval collection of Norse myths, Snorri Sturluson mentions "dark elves," but it's unclear if he means dwarves or a totally different subterranean creature. As no earlier Norse source mentions dark elves, some people think Sturluson invented the term.
