that's all

manor lords rocks ! no DRM so there are already torrents

!pirate-jammin

and i wanted to torrent it, could i just get that 36 gig fitgirl repack from 2018? i guess uhh- do i need to be cognizant of versions or anything for adding mods? i don't wanna play as goku or the hulk or anything, just an updated textures/lighting mod if my pc can do it, and maybe QoL stuff, or feel free if there's anything important you think i should have for playing it the first time. i haven't done mod stuff since skyrim ten years ago blahblah

i am want to become bergamot, imbiber of lumpy green orange

Somehow i never tried earl gray until a couple weeks ago. It tastes like a new color and I'm obsessed. Stash double bergamot isn't enough, it's barely different than bigelow (but it's the best I've found). I want more. I'm a perv for berg.

I want a bergamot tea bag that treats the tea leaves as an afterthought and i haven't found it. I've tried stash, bigelow, walmart, harney and sons, private selection, twinings, and one other british sounding one that I'm forgetting atm. Stash double and bigelow are the best by far but i want like at least quadruple the bergamot flavor. Do i need to buy a vial of bergamot oil and drink it until i cry and realize the error of my ways?

Not having sufficiently bergamot-essenced earl gray is my own afghanistan.

death to america

they even do the vocoder hell yeah

!

Words, pictures, videos don't do it justice. I drove across the country for the one in 2017 and it was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Sacrificing people on top of a pyramid isn't my preference but i kinda understand where the aztecs/mel gibson were coming from. For real though totality is like a divine searing hole opening in the sky that connects you to cosmic ancient human experience even if just for a few moments. The moon is an actual giant thing falling toward us in perpetuity and never is it more tangibly understandable as such than when it falls literally perfectly in front of the fucking sun. Streamers of plasma millions of miles long whipping out around the black disc of the moon. Undulating liquid-like shadow ripples called shadow bands appear on the actual ground, it's like standing on the beach looking down as a wave washes back out to sea but the beach is the planet on which all life lives and dies and the wave is the infinity of outer space, and you barely even hear about them because the eclipse itself is just that much more spectacular. For most people in the united states, this is the last chance they'll have to see it in their lifetimes. my bad actually there's another couple chances in 2044/2045, but still.

what do these fucking liars know about what good it?

On the top is artist's conk, Ganoderma applanatum. You can draw on the pore surface with a sharp stick. Its Japanese name — kofuki-saru-no-koshikake — means “Powder-Covered Monkey’s Bench” which like, come on, who doesn't love that. Apparently the spores can end up on the tops due to electrostatic forces (don't ask me) so imagine a lil monkey taking a seat on one of these and then he stands up and there's powder on his butt! Ha! 🤭

Also Diane Fossy wrote that they're a prized gorilla snack and they'll even fight over them.

Then we've got a funeral bell, Gallerina marginata. G. marginata is in some ways the opposite of a Good margarita as ingesting even a piece of the already small mushroom could have enough amatoxin to kill you if left untreated.

In the middle is crown-tipped coral, Artomyces pyxidatus. I was really happy to find this one as it was my first time coming across a coral fungus. At a distance I almost mistook it for the white jelly fungus that's all over the forest right now.

The bottom-right are a pair of cinnabar chanterelles, Cantharellus cinnabarinus. They're also called red chanterelles but to me it would be crazy to pass up the chance to use the word "cinnabar." They're usually small - maybe around two inches tall - but these were an inch, probably less. If it was a larger patch maybe I'd have taken some home to eat but there were only a few (all tiny) so I left em for the creatures.

it's very orange

Weirdly, it smelled strongly of cucumbers when it was fresh. Removed the pore surface, sliced into strips and sautéed it in butter. 10/10 texture, 3/10 taste. Crispy on the outside and meaty on the inside, tender but firmer than button mushrooms. Some pieces tasted fine like a normal mushroom but others had an unwelcome sort of aromatic wood/chemically flavor.

I cooked more than just the two in the picture - it could be that the larger (therefore older) ones had the strong taste, or possibly the type of tree that a few of them came from imparted a flavor.

Probably won't go out of my way for them in the future but if I was backpacking for a night or two and came across some I'd for sure cook em up.

It's a whole lil place in there. You could kick back on an anther and still have plenty of room for company.

I made simple syrup with the flowers and used it for a color-changing Tom Collins. The pigment of the flowers reacts with acid and changes from dark purple/blue to bright pink. It has a nice flavor too though it's pretty subtle.

David Lee Hoffman has spent 50 years building a composting compound where waste – whether grey water from the kitchen or sanitation – is cleaned by worms, plants, and filters, then reused in the personal garden.

Water flows through ponds, moats, and even a boat (which hides a 30-foot column that taps into groundwater), and everything is powered by solar, using a series of 12-volt pumps.

Most of Hoffman’s system isn’t legal, according to his local county (Marin, California), and Hoffman has spent decades fighting the local government.

On the day we arrived at his worm-topia, he’d been told he had just one more day to evacuate the 2-acre sanctuary he calls “The Last Resort.” One of his supporters (he has many helping him raise money for his legal battle) opened the door for us and turned out to be Oscar-nominated director Martin Brest (Scent of a Woman, Meet Joe Black, Midnight Run) who recently penned a letter to the county calling The Last Resort “an environmental laboratory that has perfected systems that—among other invaluable achievements—have turned it into one that uses only 10-20% of the water of comparable properties, even while maintaining an extensive organic vegetable garden.”

For Hoffman, “water is life,” not just because he wants clean water to grow his own food but also to create the teas (the Phoenix collection of rare, artisanal teas) that help support his lifestyle (he opens up his property every Saturday for tea tasting). He doesn’t believe in waste “until it’s wasted” and lives by the principles: “Water is precious, soil is sacred, shit is a resource.”

His bedroom is a shack the size of a bed built from wood salvaged from a pencil factory. He has plans to place it directly on top of a tea fermentation room to capture the waste heat via piping to warm up his bedroom.

It started with an unknowably long period of sleep paralysis during which I saw a person made of shadow-material lean over me and reach a hand of skinny long shadow fingers toward my face. Cliche af I know, truly a whole ass slenderman ass style bitch. At least it wasn't wearing a fuckin hat. Just as the hand was about to touch the surface of my eyeballs I realized my bed sheet was kinda in my open mouth so I focused on that feeling and it brought me out of sleep paralysis just in time to go "YRRRAHHHHHHHHH!" out of pure terror. Like, actually out loud for a change and not just that thing where you think you yelled but you were actually still sleeping and it was all in your head. 1/10 experience at the time 10/10 in retrospect, very cool and interesting shit.

Then I went to the store and marveled that not a single fucking person out of like easily over a hundred was wearing a mask, an experience I have about once a week. We DO have to live our lives after all and it isn't like covid is a totally novel and comically transmissible illness with myriad poorly understood and enduring symptoms that last long after the infection and compound upon each other across repeated infections and that probably damages your immune system permanently. It will never go away so I might as well go to the bar every night while making a vacuum cleaner noise with my mouth as I try to set a new record for most saliva vapor-laden air sucked in a single sitting. Oh shit look some free gum on the sidewalk excuse me while I plank.

Then I got home and watched the end of some Soviet movie that seemed pretty dope on Hextube, followed by Kung Fu Panda 3(?) which sorry, was total and utter dog shit for toddlers and nothing else and had 0 redeeming qualities. The joke really is that he's fat and even worse than that it's never even funny. It's cool China apparently likes it a lot and I can dig that for reasons outlined in a video someone posted subsequently. Someone in chat said "this (the KF pandas) is a good series for babysitting" in a way that sounded like it was from experience and I liked that.

Then I made kenji's falafel and tahini sauce , big somewhat a waste of time but a learning experience nonetheless. I learned that my deep fry thermometer is trash and that tahini sauce is, imo, not good. I also made chef john's tzatziki which WAS good so not a total bust. The falafel definitely woulda been better if I had food-processored it a bit more finely and also if my oil wasn't +10,000 degrees when the thermometer said 250f. Also that recipe calls for easily twice as much salt as any human could possibly desire. It was Morton coarse kosher and I weighed it. Not the first time a recipe has called for drastically too much salt, not sure why places (especially popular ones like Serious Eats?!?) are so often so severely wrong about salt. Like yes I get it you're the bomb at cooking and vibing out such things is second nature, but you have an insane platform and list an extremely specific amount so why are you not double checking things like that?

Anyway 6/10 day, a DRASTIC improvement over previous days. I'd give it a 5.5/10.
