Re: My COVID life changes

My entry into shifting the balance between plant and animal protein was "Forks over knives" which I watched on a flight a number of years ago. There's a ton of statistical analysis. Their thesis is that you need to go to less than 15% animal protein, which basically means one day a week. M...

Re: Next Steps

Ok, that means we have one person without either amulet or ring. Five rings, which we know work. I suggest a scouting party of five, to determine whether this is a barrier, or an atmospheric condition. If it's a barrier, one could cross back over with the rings and equip the others. If it's a condit...

Re: Ethics Dilemma: While You Were Sleeping

Harm, even well-intentioned harm, is off the table. As the elbowee, if it can't be stopped easily, a nudge, a pillow adjustment, I'm gone, possibly taking blankets with. In the first place, the effort will not help my sleep, and fighting with elbows or kicking that is persistent and unintentional is...

Re: Gaslighting: What Is It?

My definition is pretty broad, as far as that goes: using deception and revisionist history to control, unbalance or manipulate a partner. Contests about who remembers better, or corrections, expansions, hyperbole, invented episodes, are all brought to bear #1 to make the person doubt her/himself, #...

Re: Next Steps

Without any information whatsoever, I'dd suggest stoneshape. As we dismember it, I'm guessing each discrete piece would respond to stone to flesh... If we have to do it the old fashioned way, decapitation is likely the most efficient An ancient corpse is likely a huge resource (armor etc, if we live...

Re: Republicans

I avoided the theatrics of both conventions. Meanwhile, I'm getting serial texts from both parties asking for money. I'm not certain I will send any money. Having said that, each character has a different tone, and I'm collecting data to compare the verbs, noun, and adjectives in the texts to see if...

So, finally, he's like other presidents, in that his words were taken out of context. Personally, I have stopped listening to him. Instead, I keep track of executive orders and Administration-level policy shifts that indicate a worse future in every regard. One example: We're making it ok to wreck t...

Re: Next Steps

After a lengthy conversation with the quill, we learned the following: ya, we need sihedron rings or special amulets or buckles. We presently have two rings and three amulets. There are no active runewells here Three more rings are in the city. One in the tangle, Gamigan has one. Likely the dragon T...

Re: Next Steps

Our draft questions for the quill: We get 10. 1. What are the qualifying talismans necessary to safely pass through the occluding field on Mar Massif (sp)? 2. Does each individual crossing the occluding field need to be wearing a ring (talisman)? 3. Is there a method to disable the occluding field? ...

Re: Trump

While the strategically best thing for him and republicans might be for him to drop out, he's doubtless aware that he's facing prison. Past crooked administrations could depend on shredders, but servers are much more stubborn. Will the next admin have the stomach for the truth and reconciliation tha...

Re: All things COVID-19

Absolutely agree, but tough sell to stupid and selfish people. I'd suggest cutting WAY down on "essential" no dispensaries/liquor stores, for example, limited grocery. Medical. I also know food deserts and lack of pantry capacity really make it hard for many folks. They're day to day durin...

Re: How do you write phone numbers?

Love the simplicity of the dots. Eventually, we'll go there, once oldsters let go of the area code being an addon for formal things I still use parentheses, but the special characters messes occasionally with code. Confusion over it will cause some tech tragedy in the future, or at least be a MacGuf...
