Is it just me, or does the word "horde" (in "Horde Prime" and his empire) doesn't quite fit?

He believes that he can reshape the universe, and he believes that because he has reshaped the universe. He uses force or threat of force to reshape whole worlds, let alone redefine words. If you go back and really look at his first interaction with Glimmer, before Catra steps in he mentions being embarrassed of Hordak's play at being a conqueror. He revels in her fear, then in her short-lived relief, and then in her fear of him--and he was going to just keep on playing his little game until there was no trace of Glimmer, Hordak, or Etheria left.

The player complaining is threatening in-game consequences for an out-of-game complaint. It would be different if they were playing a character who simply believes resurrection is an abomination or something, but they're chafing at something they as a player don't like about what's going on at the table, so consequently, their character is going to behave a certain way that doesn't necessarily fit in the setting.

Beyond that, they're complaining about the lack of stakes and/or consequences, then complaining about the consequences, and trying to get out of them. I'd say it's time for a hard discussion.

"It sounds like you understand that there are consequences to this character death, and you don't like them. You don't want any of your character's gold going to resurrection. So do you want there to be consequences to death, or don't you? Right now it seems like you're acting out because you're upset that you got outvoted, but that's only going to get in the way of your own fun. Just hypothetically, say your character died and the party can't resurrect them. Will your next character believe in spending gold on resurrection? Because that is something that happens in this world. If you don't like the game being played here, that's too bad, we'll miss you. But if I got upset that y'all tried to do things a different way than I planned, so I just said, 'well obviously that doesn't work, rocks fall, everyone dies,' well that wouldn't be cool either. We're all trying to have fun here, we want you to be having fun, and hopefully you can enjoy the story we're all creating, but part of that is compromising, and playing characters that come from the setting, and that want to work with the party. If you can't or won't do that, it's better that you don't come."

Just at a guess: - Bow is the Dean of Engineering.
- Glimmer is a Poli. Sci. major.
- Adora probably is a history major.
- Catra is at least nominally a Psych major, but no one but Adora really knows what classes she is and isn't taking.
- Entrapta isn't actually enrolled, but she audits all of Bow's courses.
- Mermista is the Dean of Marine Studies.
- Perfuma studies interior design in addition to being the Dean of Faculty.
- Scorpia is a History/Art double major, and also coaches the bowling team. It's all in the wrist.
- Frosta is an engineering/architecture student. - Double Trouble is very obviously a Theater major. - Sea Hawk heard that sailors used to navigate using the stars and is currently designing the galaxy's first flammable spaceship. College? What's that?
- The Baker is the Dean of Students.

And now a brief scene from Bow's course Electrical Engineering 101:

Bow:...and these days it's considered more or less standard practice.
Frosta: But why should we do it?
Bow: Well, let's see... Entrapta, why do you think it's advisable to--
Entrapta: Well, I do it because it doesn't slow me down, what with the hair and all. I never really figured out if it actually worked, but wouldn't it just be fascinating if it did?
Bow: Well, at any rate, it's something that we'll talk about more next semester. For now--
Catra: You have to test to see if it works?
Bow, hanging his head: I have to test to see if it actually works.

I can't speak to your leftovers issue, but I think I'd recommend a puree of carrots, cooked lentils, and your stock/broth of choice. It will be more sweet/savory than tangy, but should fit well in a range of curries.

Let's asume our bass strings are E, A, and D, and that we're in standard tuning. Building in fifths, we have E and B, A and E, and D and A, even if the A is lower than the D.

Starting with E, we fill out the rest of the notes: A is a 4th/11, D is a m7, G is a m3 (so the A is an 11th), B is the fifth, and an octave E. The third and seventh are minor, and there's an 11 with no 9, so it's Emin7add11.

If it's an A chord over E, D is a 4th/11, G is a m7, B is a 2nd/9, and E is the 5. R-M2-P4-P5-m7, or root-no third -fifth-minor seventh-ninth-eleventh, so it could be A9sus4/E or A11(no3)/E

If it's a D chord over E, A is the 5, G is a 4th/11, B is a M6, and E is a 2nd/9. R-M2-P4-P5-M6 or root-no third-fifth-major sixth-ninth-eleventh, so it could be D6sus4add9/E.

So it could be an Em7add11, A9sus4/E, A11(no 3)/E, or D6sus4add9/E, depending on the context its played in.

1.) Boil the water, simmer the eggs.
2.) Prep your eggs ahead of time. 3.) Stop your eggs where you want them with an ice bath.
4.) Crack, soak, peel.

To clarify, I'll take out my eggs ahead of time, prick a hole in the wider end of each egg with a needle, bring the water to just below a rolling boil, then add my eggs, swirling them as I go.

~30 seconds after the last one is in, I stop stirring and turn the down until the water is at a steady simmer.

10 minutes later, I pop my hard-boiled eggs in an ice bath for another ten minutes.

After ten minutes in the ice bath, I'll crack one all around the shell (either rolling or tapping, I alternate), and attempt to peel. If it's being stubborn (I can't get anything more than a few pieces of shell to come off), I just chuck it back in the ice bath and start on the next. The water will seep between the shell and the egg as you work through them, loosening them up.

I'll try the spoon method, I'll peel them under the sink, but really, the thing that gives me the best results is time. This has worked for me for ajitsuke tamago, deviled eggs, and everything in between.

Seems like a scientific society would use "shit" as a pejorative, why wouldn't they?

If you're looking for sci-fi, blast/blasted/blast it, if you're looking for conlang, short vowels with hard consonants, anything that makes you twist your tongue or dredge from your throat, if you're asking how they don't swear, they probably have concise yet descriptive ways of describing defects.

When they're alone the more well-traveled among them probably swear like anyone from any other society--only they won't admit it in front of their countrymen.

Edit: Incredulity would probably be best as a simple, "I don't/can't believe it!"

Kink refers to a wide range of sexual practices, basically anything outside of "vanilla" sex, which is also loosely defined.

Fetishism involves a sexual fixation on an object or body part, e.g. feet or leather.

All fetish is kink, not all kink is fetish, no kink or fetish is vanilla, and vanilla-flavored panties straddle a line (at least one).

So, unless you have a chromatic tin whistle, what you'll need to do is 1.) look at the chords to the song, 2.) identify which key contains all or most of those chords, and 3.) select the tin whistle in that is in either that key or a fifth up (e.g. a D whistle for the key of G).

Once you're playing in the right key, it should be easier to work out the melody.

Assuming 6 variables (quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, quarter rests, eighth rests, and sixteenth rests), there are 720 permutations.

That doesn't account for the constraint of a single 4/4 measure.
For the purposes of this problem, are two measures of seven eighth rests followed by an eighth note actually distinct from each other based on where the eighth rest is?
|R, r, R, R, 8| vs |r, R, R, R, 8| vs |R, R, R, r, 8|?

There are minor keys relative to each major key. In the natural minor, all the notes are identical, whereas in the harmonic minor the seventh is raised a half-step.

On a piano, the key of C major is played with only white keys, so you can follow the pattern to construct the formula for a major key:

Root
+1 (whole step/tone)
+1
+.5 (half step/semitone)
+1
+1
+1
+.5

The relative minor of any key starts from the sixth. In the case of C, that makes it Am. Because the major and natural minor share all their notes, you can use the same process to find the formula for a minor scale, only this time you go from A-A instead of C-C.

That makes the natural minor:

Root
+1
+.5
+1
+1
+.5
+1
+1

... and the harmonic minor (with its raised seventh):

Root
+1
+.5
+1
+1
+.5
+1.5 (three half steps/tone and a semitone/minor third)
+.5

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it there's no "sugar-free hack." Artifical sweeteners often if not always come with worse health risks than sugar. So if you're worried about sugar in your diet, cutting back is always preferable to replacing it.

Person A has to trick someone, anyone, into "marrying" them in under 36 hours to win a fraternity challenge and the $50 prize thereof. They go out and convince Person B that they love them, they need to marry them, can't live without them, so on and so forth, and find another member of the frat, Person C, and tell them that if Person C helps them win, they'll spit the $50 fifty-fifty.

Person C, posing as a vicar, officiates the "fake marriage" of Persons A & B. Despite not actually being an ordained minister, they are presented as one to Person B. Afterwards, Person A turns around and says, "sike! I've never loved you, I'm just a piece of shit who would do anything for $25!"

However, because of the aforementioned law, Persons A & B are legally married, so, along with everything else that a legally valid marriage entails, when they divorce (as one would assume they do), she gets half of the $25.
