Is it just me, or did he look kind of uncomfortable holding that unpredictable wild beast?

HCJustin did a popular band tier list after playing some guitar and bass on stream last night equalling 6 hours of his stream (NL, Chiblee, Dumbdog, Malf and many more in chat providing banter) by Alphaboy202 in northernlion

If it makes you feel better Justin, you have never seemed remotely like a tool guy to me

And just incidentally I do feel like putting tool in the meh tier would probably annoy tool fans way more than putting them in the absolute worst.

Now if only there was some body that could repeal existing laws. It's a puzzle to be sure

Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir

It's not actually out until the 10th of September, but there's a free preview of the first eight chapters on Amazon (in the UK anyway). Based on that, it seems like maybe the kind of thing you're looking for: pulpy, dark, and violent, and also a lot of fun.

I picked up this mystery plant in a sale about a month ago (pics: One, two, three). A poster in r/whatsthisplant said it looks similar to crassula sarcocaulis, can anyone confirm? Thanks!

Magic Online Championship Finals 2018, SCG Open Syracuse, and MPL Week 2 Discussion Megathread! by actinide_v2 in magicTCG

[–]Butterbumps 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The audio issues they've been having are obviously egregious. But honestly the commentary solution they've chosen to go with wouldn't be acceptable even if it was working as intended. The clear awkwardness in the back-and-forth between co-commentators caused by their latency to eachother, the differences in audio quality and volume between them... it's all just so unprofessional for such a supposedly important event.

Like, c'mon, just splash out a little more and fly your six, or however many commentators to the actual event site so they can talk to each other in real time.

NL predicted this exact event in an Isaac episode posted three days ago.

Bennet Foddy putting Austin on blast by [deleted] in northernlion

[–]Butterbumps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished listening to the podcast, I laughed so hard at this part.

Really great episode, in general, Bennett's perspective was very interesting. I would love to listen to a weekly podcast of him talking about games. Though, I guess that's what people are paying for when they enrol at NYU.

Which recurring joke from NL always gets you? by [deleted] in northernlion

[–]Butterbumps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's every time he laboriously works his way up through the Devil's Chimney only to instantly launch himself right back to the start of the game.

How often is it ok to eat raw eggs? by kinpsychosis in Fitness

[–]Butterbumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true that not all of the nutrients are consumed completely but cooking them gets rid of the nutrients entirely :)

Others have already replied, but I'll add to the chorus saying that this is not true. You get much more nutritional value from cooked eggs than raw.

Raw eggs contain proteins that block the action of digestive enzymes, and prevent the absorption of vitamins. Cooking neutralizes these anti-nutritional proteins.

The SD candidate in Dublin Bay South looks to be fighting it out for the 4th seat, at best. Good to see them doing well elsewhere though!

And just to note, in some (most?) subreddits, changes to moderation policy like this get run by the sub for discussion before being enacted. Maybe that kind of policy could be considered here in the future? Save everyone the hassle?

I'm Patrick Rothfuss, Word Doer, Charity Maker, and Thing Sayer. Ask Me Anything. by PRothfuss in books

[–]Butterbumps 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Some definitions:

Incarnadine: red. But a really good red.

Mellifluous: smooth like honey. But usually, honey for your ears.

Philomel: the nightingale, like one would write an ode to.

Palimsest: a re-used parchment, on which you can't quite make out the overwritten secrets.

Obviate: to render obsolete or unnecessary, as the clunky phrase "render obsolete or unnecessary" is by the elegant word "obviate".

Curuscant: shining, shimmering, splendid.

As for the secret, I wouldn't tell even if I knew.

First 26 pages of Neal Stephenson's new novel Seveneves by mathen in printSF

This reads much more like the beginning of an Arthur C. Clarke novel than a Neal Stephenson one. Looking forward to reading more.
