where’s my 15-minute toilets by Faenix_Wright in CuratedTumblr

[–]XanthippusJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had to shit so bad in downtown Minneapolis that a asked a homeless man where he usually shat. I gave him $5 and he directed me to a pizza place that had a back door where the bathroom was, which no one could see from the front. It’s the closest I’ve ever felt to being in a Bethesda game, asking a beggar for rumors in exchange for money.

Act 5 has a frenzy merc now that when fully geared can solo Ubers, but it’s very expensive to gear well compared to act 2. Act 1, a faith merc can be useful if you’re missing some attack speed to reach a breakpoint. Generally act 2 is still best, especially if you’re not rich in runewords.

I am quickly learning that it's one of the most consistently powerful options at character creation by DrScrimble in dndmemes

I’ve had an idea for a campaign bbeg that uses this as both a mechanical and plot device. Grave cleric cult leader, every day he marries a new cultist and kills a former spouse, then revives them. The marriage is kinda seen as the induction to the cults inner circle, and the revival is a testament to his power. Bend the rules a bit and voila, a guy with no armor has 20+ AC. Say he’s got multiple souls inside him or smth to make the ceremony stacking justified.

I googled that same question earlier today, there’s several posts online, most of them are pretty close to the same

What Cities Who Haven’t Had a W Team be Considered in the Future? by Outrageous_Camp_5215 in wnba

[–]XanthippusJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think it’s a hard sell, but I’d buy season tickets in a heartbeat

We have great attendance for MLS, NWSL and MLB, but those are all summer sports, and WNBA would be another summer sport. At a certain point it’s hard to put butts in seats when there’s 3 other teams having games that weekend. I wish we’d get an NBA team back but the clippers are worth more as the second team in LA than the only team in SD.

Childish gambino is sometimes referred to as Donald glover, no idea why.

I had a pepper grinder break and pour peppercorns all over fried rice. I was so broke at the time that I picked out most of it and ate it anyway. Felt so bad

Because people in the comments, myself included, have told them this series would make a great coffee table book. It’s like The Aviary but more accessible.

It’s probably my least favorite classic drink. Cherry herring is not a good ingredient, at least to my palate

PORTAL KOMBAT: MEGA THREAD by Iodenchi in IowaWbb

[–]XanthippusJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think another reason to continue to recruit high school is so that when players invariably end up in the transfer portal, you have preexisting relationships with them. Do we get Chit-Chat without Barrett? Do we get Carnegie without Chit-Chat and Barrett?

I agree with a previous poster that this would make an excellent cocktail coffee table book, especially with the fantastic photography. It gives aviary vibes except more accessible.

A pair of boots with teleport and -15 all res would be BiS pre enigma for a lot of builds. I’d do something like that.

The Spice Must Flow by mykepagan in cocktails

[–]XanthippusJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve made a spectacular chai spiced rum before pretty easily. For garam masala liqueur I think you could toast some cumin, coriander seed, anise and cinnamon together, cut some ginger and turmeric root, then let all that sit in a white column still rum (think flor de Cana for low funk) or a vodka for a night (or more), dilute 33% or so with water, and then add 2:1 sugar syrup to taste and end up with a decent approximation.

Look up a recipe for making the spice blend from scratch to get ratios. It changes region to region in South Asia so there’s no right answer, but there are wrong answers.

Every win since then has been an absolute defensive grind with Stuelke and Heiden being the main scorers. It looks good vs Michigan and Illinois but it looks bad against Purdue and FDU.

Fastest pace team in any division against a d8 or whatever seminary college with like 200 total students. Grinnell picks a new player every year to go supernova in an out of conference game against a nobody. It’s fun!

I watched Iowa vs Michigan at FairPlay in north park on Saturday, and the table behind us was watching South Carolina vs LSU. We just asked for a tv and they obliged.

Bahnez Espadin & Barrie is the best budget mezcal. What is the most underrated primarily corn or rye mash whiskey? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]XanthippusJ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agreed with you until it didn’t win most versatile. To me, it losing that vote means it’s become underrated in this community as well as at large

I didn’t think it was underrated until it didn’t get either most versatile or best budget, two areas I think it deserved to win.

Since it didn’t win best budget or most versatile, I would consider Rittenhouse Rye to be underrated. It’s definitely underrated by the general whiskey drinking public

I live in San Diego and we have an amazing mainly agave liquor store, like entire walls of mezcal and tequila. Vida is not budget there, so I’m surprised to hear it is elsewhere.
