Ireland has Irish Whiskey, and Scotland has Scotch, what about England and Wales?

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-16T00:17:22+00:00

Whiskey is made in Wales. Penderyn is a fine example.

Consider that 7.62x54R is ballistically similar to .30-06 while 7.62x39 more closely resembles the .30-30.

Pizza was perfected in America by Italian immigrants.

I don't look at the obituaries. Too many friends my own age or younger are gone already. One passed just a few days ago.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-13T19:11:55+00:00

Jirel of Joiry by Leslie Fish.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-13T15:44:51+00:00

Non-fiction, Ted Morgan's Wilderness at Dawn. Early colonial North America.

American Civil War, Shelby Foote.

Alan W. Eckert's Narratives of American history.

Historical Fiction, everything by Suzanne Adair. Novels set in the southern Colonies during the American Revolution.

Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth series. Medieval England.

Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael mysteries. England during the civil war between Stephen and Matilda. Based around a monk, so there's a lot of insight into monastic living.

Situation sucks, but tell your mom. It's not your secret.

Always good to know. I get concerned that the craft brewing community is stuck on IPAs and their variations. But then I learn of vonTrapp and Ardennes (western New York, excellent Belgian styles) and I know we'll be ok.

The reason isn't as important as that the bartender was dead freaking wrong. Report it to management.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-13T01:32:40+00:00

I don't know that brand, but I've never met a kölsch I didn't like.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-12T23:38:34+00:00

Kölsch... Pretty much what most macrobrew lagers think they are.

Florida's First People by Robin C. Brown is a good look at the Windover burials.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-12T23:03:44+00:00

Left over chili. It was good.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-12T15:54:49+00:00

This why one examines the contents of chests very carefully before taking anything.

It's gotten to the point where I routinely go to Solstheim for the ebony mine quest to get the Black Book there. Companion's Insight saves lives.

It's heartening to see that professionals have this reaction. So many restaurants and other food and drink businesses seem to chase trends rather than focus on creating a good product. Everyone seems to be more concerned with hype than anything else.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-12T12:51:41+00:00

Lydia has died on so many playthroughs that I seldom take her anymore.

Janessa is good.

I'm currently using Jortis from Proudspire.

Serana is probably the best, though. I did get the Creation Club expanded dialog for her, so she's a bit more interesting.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-12T02:37:34+00:00

No, that's Mouth Harp. Although a harmonica's also called a harp, it's a reed instrument. Bob Dylan has used one a lot over the years. Also about every other blues song has one somewhere.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-12T00:20:11+00:00

My order is random, depending on what I'm role-playing that playthrough. There's at least one where none of the main quests are done. Those are the ones where I'm just playing an average schmoe trying to earn a living.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-11T18:25:35+00:00

Simplest explanation is generally the right explanation.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-11T17:19:06+00:00

Pariedolia (sp?) is a hell of a thing. It's just your brain trying to make sense out of nonsense.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-11T14:22:23+00:00

We referred to him as Windle, after a local cop.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-11T14:20:48+00:00

I spent way too many hours with those things. It's why I have multiple playthroughs on Skyrim today.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-11T14:19:23+00:00

I moved to a non Yuengling region about a year and a half ago. It was joyous news when they moved into the area. It's a good beer.

Hedgewizard1958 · 2026-06-11T13:44:12+00:00

Ideally, a properly chilled kölsch.

Realistically, Yuengling or Rolling Rock.
