    3 Body Problem

    Heavy exposition and physics is literal magic to most people even today. Theoretical physics is so far beyond magic it actually seems dumb. The scene with the nanofibers cutting a synthetic diamond will not hit, at all, with the large majority of viewers. It will seem like cutting through...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I think it makes sense that David Lynch doesn't have taste buds and all his olfactory senses exist in some fucked up part of his brain.

    There's definitely some kind of psychedelic euphoria going on with Americans at large. Mist isn't wrong that most people seem to be fine with spending while also creating large sums of debt, all while "feeling good" about it. And spending it on frivolous things. Before Covid a lot of the...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Oh yea? Costs ~5.12/lb for a rib roast for you? K. Rib roasts are $14/lb at bottom tier Walmarts around here. You're either living next to a Cattle Ranch and know the owner, or you're full of it. But nah, none of us have ever thought of magically getting Prime Rib for 1/4th the normal price as...

    I should renew membership to Costco just for the butcher. I cancelled because all the club stores around here are not close but its probably worth the drive nowadays

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Meat prices are completely out of control. And the quality is the worst I've ever experienced in my adult life. I have a theory on this. Way more restaurants are selling way more food because of how lazy Americans are, thanks to Grubhub and Doordash, etc. And those restaurants get first dibs...

    Yea, considering it's mostly bone it ends up being the same price as a Porterhouse.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Also, traditionally American "cheap meals" were always still much more expensive than immigrant cheap meals. Go figure people from a rich country don't know how stretch money when feeding themselves like people from destitute countries.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Chicken with cream of mushroom soup over rice was a staple in my house. "Living it up" was a London Broil. A lot of these things aren't cheap anymore. Hipsters and cooking shows have artificially, massively increased the price of a lot of what used to be "cheap cuts". Even chicken thighs are...

    Not as bad as it seems. The wand mastery that gives 150% of spell damage gained as attack didn't stack with the same stat from the gem, so you just take that mastery now. So it should do ~600 mil instead of 1.3bil etc... should still be quite strong

    I'm not going to do my own roof. I'm going to play golf at my private country club while other people do it. And I'm going to complain about it the entire time like a real, goddamn, red blooded American.

    For the first time in my life I'm holding off on major expenses because, quite literally, what the fuck. I need to replace my roof. It's a very simple gable roof on a 2 story 2600 Sq ft house. It's 1 layer of shingles. The estimates I've gotten, assuming plywood doesn't need to be replaced, are...

    @zzeris that was a Spoiler, don't be a turd. @Gavinmad you're overreacting because this show is written well enough that it's only a minor Spoiler. Now kiss and make up.

    Well, I mean actually farming the invitations, not the fights themselves, but IMO the Maven Memory game is up there in most annoying thing in ARPGs.
  22. Khane

    Path of Exile

    The Maven, in general, just sucks. It's technically faster to farm writs than Eldritch invitations but it's about 100000x more annoying. This change will reduce that to 1000x more annoying.

    This is why I gave up on "traditional" methods long ago. I was starting to be overrun by specialty cooking "tools" and running out of room for things I barely ever use. Like my Vitamix. It's cool and all but I almost never use it

    Properly seasoned cast iron should be fine, but most wok cooking involves either a ton of oil or constant moving. Sticking shouldn't be an issue

    It would be pretty disappointing, and a departure from the storytelling thus far, if Serie actually is just that much weaker and Frieren is a MacGuffin.

    Last Epoch never intended to have trading and when EHG finally caved to the community they implemented one of the worst trade systems in history. The merchants guild never existed until 1.0. GGG is not taking any lessons from Last Epoch
