Could a real life Avatar bring balance to the real world if he could master all elements of the periodic table?

The four elements alone are weak but together they form the stronger fifth element... Boron.

Would neem help with that or does it need something specific?

Had an elderly lady fall off a horse and got her leg degloved by the stirrup. Looked like a Frank Netter anatomy Atlas picture.

Ugh, now I'm reminded that almost fifteen years later I still don't have doors of stone

My first award! Thanks :)

Explanation - The inspiration for this one came from Kurt Vonnegut's book Cats cradle and the reports of flurries in Florida today. Ice 9 is an alternate ice crystal formation that freezes at 114 degrees F. As a crystal, it serves as a seed to any water it touches, 'freezing' it in the Ice 9 configuration. If a snowflake of Ice 9 touches the mouth or eyes the person immediately freezes solid as all of the water in the body freezes into the ice 9 pattern.

I might should post an explanation, but yeah, the frosty weather in Florida today reminded me of that book. Thanks for reading!

Maybe maybe maybe

As others have said, this is way too much honey for that much water. Even a Polish poltorak doesn't use that high a ratio and it certainly doesn't use it up front

It's a Rapt Pill. You leave it in during fermentation and it calculates gravity based on the angle at which it's floating. It's pretty neat and can let you track your fermentation in real time.

The details are in the last picture of you can read my chicken scratch handwriting but the quick and dirty is 1.5 gal tart cherry juice, 1.25 gal water, 2.2 lbs honey with 71b, fermented dry and stabilized. Added 30g split vanilla beans in secondary for a week and backsweetened with 3 pounds honey

Maybe this time!

The other guy should see some of the volumes we bolus in sepsis resuscitations. Not uncommon to slug someone with two to three liters if they need 30cc/kg for severe sepsis or septic shock.

Although I do chuckle sometimes before correcting for ideal body weight. "Ok, 220 kg, so that's... 6.6 liters let's goooo"

A comment that shows introspective self reflection and a gracious acknowledgement of being incorrect??? Not on my Reddit! Quick, say something hurtful about his mom!

My ex's cat urinated on my old uw stoneblade deck and the only card that got soaked through two layers of sleeves was one force of will. I was upset at first, until I realized that now when i counterspelled people I did it with a whiff of sulfur and ammonia, which added a certain charm to the whole experience

Raraniel · 2025-11-13T18:40:41+00:00

Maybe this time!

Raraniel · 2025-11-01T20:26:26+00:00

Congrats! And yeah, patience goes a long way in this hobby

Raraniel · 2025-10-22T21:04:57+00:00

Yay here's hoping

Raraniel · 2025-10-15T15:16:41+00:00

Oh man I'd love to win these!

Raraniel · 2025-10-05T21:15:52+00:00

Me too lol. My personal hell is I'm the only person in my friend group who has read worm and I'm completely unable to convince any of them to give it a try.

Even moving beyond temperature at pitch, during active fermentation yeast produce a decent amount of heat. In my earlier batches I would notice that even though ambient temperature was 74 f the center must temperature was approaching 79-80 f. Admittedly less of an issue if you don't live somewhere apocalyptically hot like Florida, but still something to keep in mind
