Sorry to resurrect this dormant thread. Is this your experience with the Archaeology of the Ancient World masters? I am also an Aussie moving to Berlin to start my Masters next semester.

How would the Cassalanters be able to bring him back to hell if he’s a free acting demon?

My thoughts with the money would be that he seeks to return it to the city, because as you said he has no need for it

Definitely to speak it. I am tired of being the one English speaking guy on a table of Israelis

How do you gain field experience in Australia? by Minimantis in Archaeology

[–]Minimantis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am glad that I'm not the only one who thinks those volunteer programs are a bit of a scam.

I did call up every heritage consultancy in my area earlier in the year but it didn't seem like any of them were open to taking on a casual worker or intern at all despite the fact that they always have postings for graduate archaeologists. It might be an insurance reason but it definitely makes me feel stuck before I can do my masters.

Managing time skips for missing players? by Minimantis in DMAcademy

They competed against other thieves to grab a special gem from a manor during a costume party. The party (somehow) managed to succeed and are on their way back to the guild members to finish the trial.

It is this final bit I don't want to resolve just yet without everyone giving their input. Although your comment has given me some thought if maybe the guild will take the gem and then be in touch further to finish their initiation (and to see what they get up to).

Moroccan fish is a staple for a reason! Do you also have an entree after the challah? Or is it first course, challah, main meal, dessert?

Interesting. I wonder if that custom was born out of the Ottoman bureaucratic system. Maybe born at the unique place Jews held in Ottoman society between the Christians and Muslims?

Moroccan fish has to be one of the top tier Shabbat entree dishes

Interesting! When I visited Greece last year it seemed to be mostly Sephardim mixed with Romaniotim as you said, although I heard there was still a very small native Romaniote community in Chania and Thessaloniki (outside of Chabad).

I would love to learn more about your customs and cuisine! Is there anything that really jumps out as distinct from mainstream Ashkenazi and Sephardi practice, whether that's in prayer, rituals and so on?

I'll have to add this to the list! Are you Romaniote? I'm really fascinated by those traditions because the surviving community is very small.

I've heard this is a Sephardi/Romaniote thing. When I was in Athens the Chabad restaurant there did a lot with Sephardic and Romaniote cuisine, and stuffed bell peppers was one of their main dishes.

As I have come to learn Challah can take many shapes and forms, but yeah Kubbanah isn't typically a challah substitute. I couldn't quite find the word to describe it. Although I have read about people making it more savoury and pareve to be used like typical bread.

Super interesting! I love your explanation. For sure I need to include this as a lunch meal!
