It's the palm trees. They'll fool ya.
I have a pocket-sized solar panel I bought intending to charge my phone on the go. When it arrived and I tried it out I remembered that I live in bloody Auckland, New Zealand, where we've never actually seen the sun, so that was a bust.
How long did you think about it?
I tried durian pancakes at an Asian market once, and didn't see what all the fuss was about. It tasted kinda coconut-y and onion-y, but not enough to be a big deal.
Ten minutes later I burped and realised I had made a terrible mistaking eating those things.
Marmite itself is fine. If anyone ever offers you the chance to try Marmite-flavoured anything, give it a pass. It just doesn't work.
It's starting to seem a little like some of the people making beer have never tried one.
A follow-up question: can I gain this ability by identifying one of those people and eating their brain?
I'd be more likely to listen to AC/DC without Brian Johnson. He hasn't done anything wrong (that I know of) and he's a talented vocalist, but that rasping voice of his makes me wince every time I hear it. Does he gargle glass shards?
That's not a tantrum, that's your fingertips thinking "hmmm, we've been wet for a while... I'd better increase my surface area for better grip so I can execute a sweet hip throw on the next attacker I encounter." Your body wants to develop its innate kung fu potential!
Looks like that link doesn't go external. It might need to be edited.
Sounds like an interesting project. Can you give us more detail? What are the new races? What effect does the karma mechanic have? Will dungeon delving be your game loop?
I had a boss who used to say the same thing. He was telling us "We didn't set this dumpster on fire, but somehow it's our job to handle it. No point bitching, so roll your sleeves up and get to it." I've started saying the same thing for the same reason.
I keep reading articles about quantum physics in the hope that some day I'll spot some kind of pattern that turns out to be the key to understanding it. No luck yet.
I've never read FATAL, but I've read plenty about it. And I'm glad it exists, because it makes every other RPG better just by virtue of not being FATAL.
I stand corrected.
It's less about the splash and more about the microscopic sprays of faecal bacteria. You don't want that E. Coli on your toothbrush.
I can see why. I'm sure even a minor pothole becomes a major problem when you're travelling at record-breaking speed.
You do it every day whether you choose to or not, because that's how the human brain works. So yes. Just be willing to change your ideas when a generalisation is no longer useful.
Some of them are stuffed with garlic instead of pimentos. Surely that must rev your tastebuds?
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?
A community-based approach to restoration using an ingenious device can bring back coral reefs traumatized by dynamite fishing.

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.
Automated wind-energy system brings portable renewables off-grid
A new electrolysis system can pump green hydrogen from water without an expensive membrane, taking a giant step toward the $1-per-kg goal.
Ingredients:
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 180g/6.5oz halloumi cheese
- 2 heaped tbsp garam masala powder
- 1/2 tsp vegetable stock
Method:
- Cube the halloumi and set it aside.
- Mix all remaining ingredients together in a saucepan and place on the heat. Allow to come to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Mix in the halloumi and stir until heated through but not melting.
- Remove from heat and serve with rice.
I learned this recipe from a couple of vegetarian friends who eat it twice a week because it's cheap, easy and packed with protein. There's no need to add salt, the masala powder seasons it nicely.
Those of you who've used both, what do I need to know about the difference?
