What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member?
  • 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?

  • People were really doing martial arts under waterfalls for hours without a break, I stand in the shower for twenty minutes and my skin starts having a tantrum, getting wrinkly and shit.
  • 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!

  • I’m making a DnD and Pathfinder setting inspired by Ancient India!
  • 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?

  • Thwack
  • Evolution, you crazy.

  • "Thought-Terminating Cliches"
  • 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.

  • Wtf did I just read
  • 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.

  • A look at & review of what has been called the worst RPG of all time
  • 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.

  • Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife?
  • 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.

  • [OC] visited the Alvord Desert where they broke the land speed world record with rocket cars
  • I can see why. I'm sure even a minor pothole becomes a major problem when you're travelling at record-breaking speed.

  • Is it ever okay to generalize about people? why or why not?
  • 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.

  • Do you like olives?
  • Some of them are stuffed with garlic instead of pimentos. Surely that must rev your tastebuds?

  • Sliding into your DMs
  • If it means this conversation ends that much sooner, sure.

  • Do you like olives?
  • Yes, I do. Olives are great on pizza and in salad. You're wrong, but there's still time for you to see the light.

  • The doctor is in. [OC]
  • Think I got the plague, doc. What can you prescribe me?

  • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?
  • A drop bear got my auntie. All they found was her eskie... empty.

  • If you had to give one piece of advice that is pretty much universally applicable, what would it be?
  • Never borrow money from a man whose first name is "The" and never gamble with a man whose first name is a city.

  • How to impress your date with an armpit fart
  • Where are her arms? What's going on?

  • Alternatives to onion grating

    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?

    Loki (spoilers)

    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?

    Book recommendations for cosmic horror on a spaceship

    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.

    Quick 'n' easy halloumi curry

    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:

    1. Cube the halloumi and set it aside.
    2. Mix all remaining ingredients together in a saucepan and place on the heat. Allow to come to a simmer, stirring frequently.
    3. Mix in the halloumi and stir until heated through but not melting.
    4. 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.

    Moving from an electric stovetop to a gas range

    Those of you who've used both, what do I need to know about the difference?
