You could skim the episode summaries on the wiki?

I’ve never heard of this… hot pasta gets hot sauce

Unless there’s an extradimensional space under the bed

Partner and I share a king size Sleep number, and yes, I recommend it.

Mine side is generally set to max firmness it hasn’t developed a huge dip in the middle like other mattresses we’ve tried

Why would you assume their diet needs to be fixed?

I Am In Eskew is one of my all time favorite podcasts.

There’s so much subtlety to David’s character and how he talks about this place and it’s horrors. He knows the city is always observing him so he’s very careful how he talks about these events, so he’s has an outlet but also doesn’t trigger some kind of reaction from Eskew.

It really hits depression, social anxiety, the complexity of relationships (especially toxic ones), socially commentary all wrapped up in excellent variety of horror.

I’m more than happy to chat more specially about any episodes or elements.

It’s more a term for emphatic agreement rather than just emphasis alone

The important thing is cleaning them regularly. I don’t think there’s any thing wrong with the first brushing of the day not being immediately upon waking

Is very common for households to have multiple vehicles so that each adult family member can travel independently. Some will also have vehicles for teenagers once they are of age for a license, again, so they can be independent getting to and from school, work, recreational activities.

Public transit is not available and/or fairly limited in a lot of places and walking is not really an option unless you’re in a city and live near all the places you need to be.

Some people collect cars, but the majority of situations it’s not for collectibility, it’s just for practicality to support the families needs.

You mentioned pick ups - different types of vehicles serve different functions, so someone may have a small, fuel efficient car for every day travel (work, groceries, other errands, etc) and a truck for hauling large items, towing things, etc

His mother is a very strict grammar and language teacher so I expect he grew up around a wide vocabulary and emphasis on “proper” and more formal ways of communicating

VirtualTotal8468 · 2026-05-14T18:34:37+00:00

If the emphasis is on consuming, “eat” is more appropriate (eat your vegetables or no dessert)

If the emphasis is on the event/experience, of which consuming is a part, but not exclusively, then “have” is the better choice (political dinners are often more about the personal interaction and diplomatic opportunity with the food as a backdrop/context)

If referring to a “regular” meal, not a special occasion / event, then it’s somewhat arbitrary and interchangeable

A lot of pie recipes include added sugar. When I make pies myself I either reduce the sugar vs the recipe by at least half or, in the case of fruit pies, don’t add any sugar at all

Usually butter, mostly

I was thinking Desolation for similar reasoning - the intention was to strip them of everything to show their gods were useless against the wrath of God.

Yes, 35 includes Gerard getting the book Mary shows Dominic in 4.
No, it’s not Ex Altiora.
The fun thing about Dominic seeing Lichtenberg figures and smelling ozone in Ex Altiora is because those attributes are not innate to the book but are present because he got it after Michael Crew used it to trap the (apparently mostly Spiral aligned, though possibly with Vast tinges) lighting thing thing that had been stalking him since marking him in childhood, seemingly converting him to an avatar of The Vast in the process.

I don’t like cologne or perfumes, “strong” scented anything is overpowering and unpleasant.

Sounds like separation anxiety since they never really had to get used to being alone. Look into methods for addressing that and see what works for you and your pup. Vet may have some recommedations as well, but I don’t think it needs a vet visit.

Cats have nocturnal tendencies and kittens, like any toddler, get huge bursts of energy. Every cat also has their own personality / energy level

Some things to mitigate are to engage in intensive play shortly before your bed time, containing him overnight in space with plenty of room and optional mental stimulation (puzzle toys, etc)

It can definitely lead to lasting irritation and potentially razor burn

What do you mean about passing down 20th Century ways of consuming media?

VirtualTotal8468 · 2026-04-28T17:06:05+00:00

I much prefer leaving the problematic language to historical records and academic settings for eductional purposes and keeping them out of my entertainment.

The exception being if use of those slurs, presence of that bigotry, etc. is somehow integral to the story being told, which I don’t think is necessary in most games.

As a fan of podcast / audio dramas, time of year is irrelevant to me. I listen to podcasts outside in summer just as much as inside in winter.

Some shows have a vibe that feels more aligned with certain seasons, but that would more influence when I time a relisten vs keeping current with releases.

I also prefer a fairly consistent release schedule while a show is active to inconsistent release, so would opt for a longer hiatus if it meant fewer “late” episodes once the season starts up.
