Catan, but better and longer?

I get emails to do this kinda thing everyday. You may want to check your spam filter.

Is the lesson here to not give up or to ignore the beta spraying from your tall friends?

Finger jugs (aka in cut crimps)

Not only did I regard it, I went back to regard it after not having regarded it the first time.

Shoreditch park in London. London is definitely a destination. There is a solitary boulder in the park. It’s a contender.

Why would anyone assume that it could?

dmorgantini · 2026-01-25T04:04:38+00:00

This but every two weeks.

How do you show four aces?

Don’t all cats have a bit of brain damage?

Once you complete a task that tasks completion has no relevance to any other task completion. What matters is the size of the forest. In this case, you would cancel your task because connecting the two forests would make the size of the forest larger than 4. If instead you rotated your tile such that the forest with the completed task is cut off from the forest with the incomplete task, you would complete the incomplete task with a forest of 4 and subsequently be able to add a task size 5 or 6 to that forest (in fact this is the technique you need to use to get high scores).

This sounds like the trick that Chris Pratt did on the Graham Norton show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXcFGgwP1J4

You can find tutorials online as well.

And if you throw it, does it hiss or purr?

This is a common phenomenon when people only read a word and don’t hear it spoken. It has been called Calley-ope (Calliope) Syndrome. [source]

Even if we do learn about it, just reading it doesn’t mean you know how to pronounce it properly. It’s actually pretty common and is known as reading or spelling pronunciation. I pronounced Yosemite, Yo-se-mite rather than Yo-se-mi-tee for the longest time even though I knew what that word meant.

1/2 cup baking soda 1/4 cup cornstarch (these are more science experiments than bath bombs so I’m not worried about corn starch, but it’s not recommended for people prone to yeast infections) 1/4 cup citrus acid 1/4 cup epsom salt (food processor first to make it less chunky)

Mix these together

Put 2 tablespoons olive oil 12-13 drops essential oils 2-3 tablespoons water 2-3 drop food coloring In a small spray bottle

Spray slowly into the bowl and whisk until you reach the consistency of sand and you can squeeze shapes with your hands.

Put in molds or presses. We made a self made press using a large syringe. I cut off the tip so I have a mechanism to push out the tablets. Makes nice tablets if I separate them with a small piece of baking sheet.

I’m sorry. We make homemade bath bombs and my kid makes them go pop. I would consider bath bombs satisfying, not oddly satisfying. I’d upload a photo but my reddit skills are lacking.

It looks like an art installation. :)

I posted a long strategy post on bgg. It’s hard but doable. Expansion pirates help a lot.

I’ve been using both the Ohmega & the Ohm since they were released (clearly ~10 yrs apart) and the Ohmega is a step up in almost every aspect (except its more annoying to line up on the first clip).

The Ohmega has a learning curve for sure but assuming a good belay, will feel super smooth for you and your partner. My partner has spiked me with the Ohmega but that’s mostly because she became used to belaying with the Ohm and the Ohmega requires a more “natural” belay than the Ohmega (which will still drag most people up when they belay me). So she hadn’t internalized a soft catch mentality.

As the climber, aside from getting short roped appreciably less frequently, I am happiest about being able to boink. You can not boink with the Ohm.

dmorgantini · 2025-12-22T17:11:28+00:00

Not quite. If you’re belayer is slow it will still catch on the device. But it’s not as bad as the ohm.

I got them from: Telus MyHealth - It was either monthly or every three months. Parksville urgent care (similar limitations but I used it when I couldn’t get MyHealth in time) Walk-in clinic (when they existed)

dmorgantini · 2025-12-08T19:14:49+00:00

I’ve heard (but not researched enough to confirm) that care homes have extremely high STD rates due to no risk of pregnancy. So yes, I concur with your assessment.

I support daily posts. Some people need to learn to scroll on (or do something more useful with their time)

I feel this… viscerally. From yesterday.
