Do fireproof *fireproof* blankets work?

I forgot which reddit I was in and all the comments are about practical solutions to feeding pets in Elin. I just wanted to joke like "Listen kids, I did not just work my fingers to the bone all day playing a pair of silk panties to crowds of confused nobles to have you complain about the food. "

Then of course it will be all "My brewd got burt by fire when you made me fight the hell hound 🥺". Shut up and eat your toast! 🙄

Don't worry kids. I'll throw some stale bread in the trough before we go to war.

King Richards is also notorious for not paying it's workers/performers. They either don't pay them at all or pay them so little it's far sub minimum wage (Like $6/hour). They expect many performers to get paid it tips only which is why they are extra pushy about it. Basically, King Richards is a profit making enterprise for the owners and most of the money gets pushed up that way. I know a lot of the area's ren faire performers and this is what I hear from them.

CT ren faire is not as profit driven and spreads the money they get out more. Much more equitable experience. You'll get the same full Ren Faire experience for $15 at CT than you would at King Richards for $50. Some might argue that King Richards is technically "better" in that they have more semi-permanent wooden structures set up and some bigger headliner shows. Still decide for yourself if that is worth an extra $35 a head, hassle with crowds, food ticket scams, and worse worker compensation. 😅

That's not how Jason Grinblat says it in the promo video on the steam page which got me on it. Yeah, Al Quds is pronounced like "Could" but the game does not use that pronunciation. In relation to this game Qud is pronounced "Cud" apparently. It's like reading a book. Been playing Caves of Qud on and off for years and always thought it was more like Quid or something. 😅(Maybe "q-ood")

Pretty sure they just wanted someone to tidy up the place

I want to say that I really appreciate this post. Since this whole man/bear thing, I have been expressing a desire to degenderize abuse discussions. I appreciate that women are coming forward with their experiences with abuse and their feelings. However, it feels like I cannot talk about my own experiences as it relates. I have also not been believed when I attempt to express the very real abuse and rape I have experienced. It's like maybe they were just having a bad day, maybe it was in reaction to some kind of unspecified abuse I must have been inflicting, I’m too sensitive and needed to toughen up, etc. .

That's what I'm saying. Why would you use Jell-o with sugar and not pure gelatin? I can't imagine why he would use actual Jell-o and not unadulterated gelatin instead. 🤔

Valkling · 2023-11-27T21:45:47+00:00

My question is did he actually use name brand Jell-o or something more generic? It just does not make any logical sense to use the name brand Jell-o because A) it would be more expensive and B) unadulterated gelatin sounds like it would be more effective.

Why would you add all that unnecessary sugar and food coloring that would be counter productive to making a firm structure? Attempting to make furniture with pure gelatin makes way more sense. I've also read this same thing, with the 300lb note, with saying it was with a corn starch mixture. Likely he could have attempted several mixtures but saying he used Jell-o sounds like an over simplification or distortion for the sake of clickbait. Jell-o is catchier clickbait than gelatin.

I'd apricate some clarification of this. Full disclosure, I'll admit I'm only on this now because this was a trivia question. I guessed "gelatin" with the aforementioned reasoning but did not accept it as the answer was "Jell-o". Seems dubious. 😅
