Well, yeah. It’s mostly sour as hell, so you have to basically candy it. That said, it holds up to prolonged cooking well (and you’re probably candying pie berries anyway).

Wait… tar? Like for blacktops? I mean, I would see an argument for *pitch* ice cream (I imagine burnt caramel and terpenes, sounds reasonable), but *tar*?

Yeah, you don’t see many cuboid dumplings. It’s doable with two strips of dough, but still… two pieces of dough cut reasonably precisely is pretty needlessly complicated. If he wants to give it a try, two 3x1 strips arranged like the leather on a baseball can make a cube. Good luck sealing it.

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, elections are state run and we have a psychotic Supreme Court, so there isn’t much that can be done on the nat’l scale. State by state things happen (WI, eg), but the worst offenders (red states) have to elect Dems to reverse it, which is hard (see GA).

Chocolate is easily my least favorite common ice cream flavor, and it isn’t close. I really do not think that the fun aspects of chocolate are well served by being cold. Chocolate ice cream is only palatable because of a healthy dose of the *actual* GOAT flavor, vanilla.

I totally forget about that- but in my defense, the movement and platforming in Sekiro isn’t ass, which makes it an outlier for a Fromsoft game and as a water level.

I did consider that the -lith suffix refers to stone, but the linked article refers to it as a monolith, so 🤷‍♂️. Yeah, I know it’s a fantasy word, but it isn’t mixing Greek/Latinate words, so I think it’s kosher.

Not at all, if anything it’s more impressive freehand. I’ve faked graving before (I was using it as a negative cut like in relief printing rather than positive like intaglio) after ‘borrowing’ a set of gravers from a prof ~15 years ago. I will say 1/16” wide palm chisels are surprisingly useful.

Are you sure you read the directions? Unlike most Korean ramen, you don’t cook the noodles in the sauce, so I’m not sure how draining is going to tone it down since the sauce is added afterward.

The USPS is my go-to example for ‘government provided services are good, actually.’ If you want faster shipping or want to move your entire home across the country, there are private options, but nothing beats it for economy of scale and consistency.

I’ll agree that a lot of games implement crafting systems poorly, either in terms of game balance (Skyrim, I’m looking at you) or how it’s integrated into the rest of the gameplay. I think my line is whether crafting turns into grinding- I will never understand RuneScape players.
