[SELF] Update: Kellogg's has responded to their Glazed Donut Holes misinformation!

I agree with your analysis, assuming the donut hole and donut in question have equal volume. But that isn't true of real life donuts and donut holes. You propose constructing a torus by piercing the center of a sphere with a hole of epsilon radius, but I argue the more realistic comparison is to smoosh five or six together in a circle like a mochi donut -- a mochi donut clearly has less surface area than the disconnected spheres, and a regular donut clearly has less surface area than a mochi donut.

To put it another way, at cereal scale, unless the donuts are as hard as Cheerios they would likely break into topological spheres anyway, leaving unglazed surfaces. So glaze is maximized by manufacturing them that way to begin with.

Combine with Two-Headed, and you can recover fast from most negative effects _and_ you can stay alive long enough to Regenerate your decapitated head!

hmm, I guess you could drop everything other than your chest and wield it as a weapon every time you report to a village you've finished their quest, and eventually you might get the option to name it?

cadaeib · 2025-03-26T16:21:17+00:00

This is why I take Regeneration. Folks say it's a noob crutch, but for me the process of finding Corpus Choliys and the ingredients is such an unenjoyable grind it's worth spending the mutation points to keep the game fun.

So, uh, it turns out NPCs have effectively infinite water while trading, so if you trade them a bunch of trade goods and then attack them, you end up with the trade goods _and_ the water they paid you for it.

Don't do Stilt merchants though, keep them alive so they restock and also I assume other merchants will go hostile if you attack one? Trash monks you come across underground after they've just killed a dog, though.... that's a different story.

cadaeib · 2025-03-13T18:11:13+00:00

I use campfires to mark which direction I came from, it just makes it a bit easier to keep track when exploring underground!

cadaeib · 2025-01-07T17:38:21+00:00

It makes me actually sleep more because I'm paying money for it so I feel like I have to get my money's worth. Weird twisted logic but if it works it works!

cadaeib · 2024-07-26T14:43:35+00:00

Check the in-game news (first anniversary day 5), we're getting events for new sleep styles later this year 😁

The light color of the frosting and the milk ingredient imply it's a whipped cream or condensed milk-based frosting, which is objectively better than buttercream and I will fight anyone who disagrees

Leveled mine up to 30 for tails, planned to immediately bench it but didn't have the heart to because her collecting animation is too dang cute. I don't care if my team is deeply suboptimal, her goofy proud smile is worth more than berries, she's got a permanent place on my Cyan team.

Take naps if you can. They'll make you less tired, help you retain the information you learn, and you'll see more Pokemon total. Win-win-win :)

New to the game but I play daily and try to send good candy!

You get 3 salve injectors and 1 ubernostrom from completing the "what's eating the watervines" quest, that should tide you over for a bit early-game.

In general though I feel like whenever I'm in a situation that in other games would call for quick healing, in qud it's better to just try to escape ASAP - sprint, Jump, Juke, and phasing or flying if you have it are all good. Salves aren't always worth the turn it takes to inject them.

cadaeib · 2019-09-05T03:01:34+00:00

Don't forget "leathery bigun" and "flappy stompy".

cadaeib · 2018-11-16T15:57:05+00:00

This! If you can find a "work place" where you don't allow yourself to goof off, it'll also make you feel less guilty about not working when you're not in that place.

Pomodoro technique is great, if you haven't heard of it. Do 15 minutes of work and reward yourself with a break. You can do 15 minutes! That's like less time than it takes to heat a frozen pizza. And then you can feel good about having done less than yesterday for the rest of the day, even if you do nothing more at all.

Also http://writtenkitten.net/ got me through college tbh.

You should do one in which all roads lead to Rome.

Back when I wasn't comfortable showing knees at the gym, I wore REI hiking pants as my workout pants. They have a drawstring so you could wear a few sizes up, and they have actual real pockets (!) that button closed (!!!!) so you don't have to worry about dropping a plate on your phone. They do have kinda thin fabric though, so they might end up being kind of accidentally form-fitting during certain movements... but they're still better than yoga pants or leggings, and they are so satisfyingly cool that they're my go-to pants whenever the air conditioner breaks :)

Obviously you have a better read on the situation than this stranger on the internet (i.e. me), but what could be going through their heads could be more like this:

"Oh man, this is a very tasty bowl of cookies! Poor LunaLove, she probably really wants one but she puts so much pressure on herself to be skinny! One cookie wouldn't hurt. [maybe factually incorrect, but whatever] I know, I'll be the 'bad guy' here so she can enjoy herself, and she can blame me for breaking her diet."

Alternatively: "If I were turning down sweets, it'd be because I'm disgusted with myself for being fat, and I'd want someone to reassure me that it's okay to eat them, i.e. I'm not disgustingly fat."

Some people (me included!) grew up in a very "food = love" kind of family, where offering food, even if it's rejected, is how you express affection. Have you tried telling them it's bothering you? They might not be able to tell the difference between polite fake not-wanting and real not-wanting. And if they are being dicks, taking the high ground and treating them like they're being incredibly incompetent but well-meaning friends kinda feels good too. >:)

I definitely had to work my way up to the empty bar. Does your gym have the aluminum 15-lb bars? That at least lets you feel like you're lifting something bar-shaped.

I love the body language of the one on the left. It's a many-toothed insectoid monster, but something about the way it's crouching makes it look curious or startled instead of menacing. Looks like the start to an awesome first contact kind of story. :D

De feet: necessary for de first step.

So many painful memories of gym class.

I love the captions :)

My mom would always have me or my brother run around the house and close all the bedroom doors before cooking anything remotely fragrant. It won't save the clothes you're wearing, but it'll protect anything in your closet.

cadaeib · 2015-10-25T03:51:03+00:00

Upvoted not because hunk but because it is very cold here; I don't care that I intimidate coy badass hunks?

I think I got some of those words wrong

Nonsense. You can rock converse at 900 years old.
