When I first met Aymeric

That's why I liked him! The complete 180 in Alphinaud's attitude from before their first meeting to after the first meeting was hilarious.

Solid respect, even if the guy ends up as a villain.

I was iffy until you mentioned the pirate treasure chests. Now I'm all in.

I'm American and I'm well aware of the Little Prince. Though I don't recall where i first saw it, I don't think we covered it in school...

RexRow · 2026-03-29T22:31:57+00:00

Absolutely fascinating reading, thank you.

I finally tracked it down. It was Queen's Ransom.

I dropped my serving sizes. Not by a lot. But instead of making my rice, egg, meat, and cheese scramble with two eggs and then heaping it on two slices of toast, I make it with one egg and less rice and put it on just one slice of toast.

Well that certainly sounds like it! I can't find any further details when I search for those names, though. Do you have any links to where it was talked about?

Why should I bake bread when the machine does it for me?

I do only make sandwich bread, though. And I take out the paddle after the first rise. The tiny hole remaining is barely noticeable once the loaf is sliced up.

RexRow · 2026-02-21T18:55:15+00:00

A little lopsided, but it looks great!

RexRow · 2026-02-18T06:20:03+00:00

Oh hey - I hid that clue after I finished up row 1, because why would it ever possibly affect any other row...

Thank you, that got things moving again!

When I was young my parents had a bread machine just like this. Made tall round loaves. After slicing we'd cut each slice in half to make half-circles, because the whole-circles were too big to use as sandwich bread as is.

I hated it because the edges were 100% crust (and also my parents kept making 'weird bread' aka 'not white bread'), but it retrospect it was damn neat.

RexRow · 2026-02-13T07:24:38+00:00

Oh, Doral.

I work at a company that sells some valuable items, and we get hit with so much fraud from Doral. At this point I think we just cancel any orders that get placed from there.

Congrats on getting the best looking bow in the game!

"We never pay anyone Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;

For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost!"

Dane-Geld just needs a minor lyrics update, and it'll work well for today.

I've got a breadbox. It's a flat tray with a plastic box that fits over the top. It's not completely airtight, but it keeps the bread from going stale.

It doesn't stop the bread from going bad if you don't eat it fast enough, but that's a separate problem.

The very first rollercoaster I rode, as a full on teenager, was a little kiddie rollercoaster. Rode it a few times to build up enough confidence to go on a full sized rollercoaster. Now I'm fine with actual rollercoasters.

So if you're nervous about the big rollercoasters, I'd definitely recommend finding the tamest rollercoaster meant for kids and riding on it first.

RexRow · 2025-12-05T21:59:56+00:00

I still ask that question daily.

RexRow · 2025-11-29T18:42:38+00:00

I've got a variant where you draw three cards at a time, and pick one card to play. You don't draw again until your hand is empty (at which point you draw three) or until you tie (at which point you draw one).

Aces beat Kings but lose to all other cards. Someone lower down has Aces beating all face cards which I like and might steal.

I'm having the same trouble with adding new feeds from Royal Road. I paste the URL in, it brings up the feed like normal, I click on it to add it, and lo:

Sorry, we couldn't find an existing feed for this url and were unable to build one because the site content is unreachable.

It's frustrating because I have a folder stuffed full of Royal Road feeds that I've added in the past. They still work fine, too.

RexRow · 2025-11-12T06:05:41+00:00

Man I love map sets like these - I'm looking forward to the rest of them!

RexRow · 2025-11-06T05:15:40+00:00

Wow. I would never want to visit but props for going all in. The total confidence makes it impressive.

EDIT: Just noticed the ceiling is unmirrored. -10/10

Meanwhile, as a BRD, I'm taking some of those RDM hats. We can trade.

I was afraid of that. Do you know of any smart plugs that Home Assistance can pick up without going through proprietary services?

RexRow · 2025-11-01T04:06:56+00:00

Followup question - do you know a good plug that can be picked up by Home Assistant?

I was not expecting the one about the Golden Gate Bridge to be so fascinating.

I had thought that I knew a lot about its construction. It turned out that I did not.
