It’s how we’ve been getting onions into our kids’ food. Juices stay in whatever we’re grating into, but I’m not sure if it makes a difference in the final meal.
As for the eyes, it’s tricky - it’s much faster, but yeah, the exposure is more intense. Feels to me like it’s done faster though, I don’t feel like I need to see as well to grate as to mince.
Would grating them get similar results for less effort?
Overcooked, maybe? I like 'em any way, but I think they’re cooked best when they’ve just softened a little, and still have some crunch
Ah, that was Gimli and Eomer. (Just read it a few weeks ago!)
6-7 isn’t gone yet, my 6 and 8 year olds still giggle about it. The school banned it though, which may have extended its longevity.
Man, when our toddlers would grunt and groan standing up…
My mom has a scheduled video conference call with my siblings and I every few weeks, so we stay in pretty good contact that way. We also all get along pretty well. Family is spread out halfway across the States, so getting together in person is a bit tricky.
I see my sister who lives nearby every few months (generally when our parents come through), and one brother roughly once a year; other brother is farther away and harder to get together with.
Cousins, aunts, and uncles are rarer, even though they’re closer. Think the last time I saw any of them was at a funeral.
I remember Gimli talking about Galadriel, but who did Legolas talk about?
Look at solo RPGs! They’ve been around for a bit, but really came into their own during Covid.
I’m a big fan of the Ironsworn/Starforged/Sundered Isles series, which is a fully self-contained RPG you can play yourself, with other players (and no GM), or with a GM guiding people through. Many of the “moves” you make during play let you define the world and plot as you go.
On the other hand, if you have a game system you want to play already, you might look at the Mythic Game Master Emulator. Both of these have systems for generating stories and worlds on the fly, but Mythic is designed to plug into an existing RPG, while the Ironsworn series works some of those details into your character.
Ironsworn is free (the other supplements do have a cost), while Mythic looks to be about $15. Also, the YouTube series Me, Myself, and Die has playthroughs of both, so you can see how they work!
(Edit) I forgot about narrative games! They’re a bit of a different beast, more rolling for prompts and deciding how you respond, less rolling to-hit, as I understand it. Thousand year old vampire is the big name in this space.
Nah, this is just the glimpse before the time travel cleanup crew comes through and clears up all the evidence!
Could, sure - this was a fast example off the top of my head; someone else in the thread used “Great” as a better example.
But even here, while “Yay” could be seen as sarcastic, “Yay.” looks even more so
I hadn’t heard of this before, but I think I can see how they’re getting there. With no punctuation, you have to infer the emotional detail from the context. If you add a period, it can be perceived as specifying that you’re using a flatter, less excited tone.
Compare:
Grandma’s coming this weekend
Yay
To this:
Grandma’s coming this weekend
Yay.
On top of that, these kids are used to using emoticons and such to indicate a variety of emotional shadings, rather than just an exclamation mark - so deliberately specifying the flattest, least interested emotional load could very well read as just waiting for the conversation to be over.
This is the way.
In Narnia, the inhabitants were complaining about the witch making it “always winter, but never Christmas!” And this was before the local Christ- equivalent sacrificed himself.
…is she capturing it, or is that the poke ball she keeps it in?!
Did it? I’m not able to read the article that far
People keep talking about divided media and a lack of shared shows - did nobody else see all the KPop Demon Hunter outfits last Halloween? I swear it was about 20% of the outfits at my kids’ school. Nobody seeing the Stranger Things merch in stores for the new season?
There’s still new shows most people see, and some are good ones - but the media landscape changed. Used to be, in the US, you had CBS, NBC, ABC, etc. The difference is now it’s Netflix, Disney, Paramount, and so on. The quality mix is still pretty much what it was, but you’ve got to go to where they’ve moved to - YouTube doesn’t have much professionally done content.
As for 67, that just seems like what memes have always been to me. The Beans meme here was random too, but no less meaningful for it.
So nothing would really change for them, right?
They’d get UBI, but it wouldn’t cover their lifestyle. So they’d still be working to support that, no? And UBI would just mean they have a safety net?
And not only did he see for himself, he wrote up and published his results.
Man, played that a bunch as a kid, then we found a copy again at a random estate sale!
Just ended up Youtubing the VHS tape, though
Yeah, I’m the wrong person to ask. I’m 43, have a massive Lego collection, and play games in my spare time (what the kids leave for my wife and I).
(Edit) You should Google “AFOL” groups - Adult Fans Of Lego are all over the place. And even if you don’t end up joining any, they have some impressive builds!
