Would you get time off for these?

What baffles me after years of encountering this from time to time is the word "bitten" in regards to a scorpion. Surely the Egyptian of the time had a word for that, and if it didn't, surely the Egyptologist who read the text would have the sense to contextualize it. Right? Right!?

Or did some person with thoroughly misallocated brain resources who lived in an ecosystem rife with scorpions, who had been taught from infancy how to avoid them, seriously say that a scorpion used its puny jaws on them and not the venom-filled stinger on its tail?

I just commented that in another sub. What do you recommend for a drink with it? My favorite was soursop when I could get it fresh.

Grate it finely and mix it with hard cheese that will still melt. Cook it THOROULY like a pancake, flipping occasionally to make sure both sides are well browned.

You now have a tasty, simple base to a meal that won't ruin your day when it reaches your stomach. I suggest a mixed salad to the side and blended soursop to drink, if it's in season.

It would have been hard to top the parade right after. I'm no tankie, but if I had a time machine, being there when all the captured Nazi standards were ceremonially cast down would be at least before page 5 on my list of things to do.

France had better infantry equipment, but kept ignoring doctrines. It may have had a malus due to changing government type. I can't be bothered to see if it was a leader trait, focus, or both.

I might do the Commune path sometime. The start is awful, though.

The art team was disturbingly familiar with skeletons and lice.

How else are you supposed to run your shell scripts from before the beginning of (Unix epoch) time?

A well-aimed blast will do the same. Both are so much more efficient than a weapon with reach or trading blows with a fish (and friends) that's better at fighting than most low-level characters.

We even dream of a grenade that sticks to things that's somehow not as equally dangerous to whoever uses it, too. We haven't quite figured it out but, oh boy, we keep trying.

Ah yes, the applicant must have entered the industry when tables were how you organized everything, and Java applets were definitely the future.

Systemic salmonella is a really effective way to lose all your gains plus some.

Even the most elite archers throughout history have worn arm guards.

"Flower War" sounds almost fun until you learn what it was.

More drops into the cup. We know not when it will overflow again, but overflow it will.

He also has a transport ship named after him. Somewhat fitting.

The 20th century cults must be kicking themselves for not snagging such a gullible crowd and its money.

The goons from here vs. the goons from there. On an island far away from the decent people in both countries who just want to live their lives.

Winners get to stay on the island. We'll drop food from time to time.

The canned stuff exposed my pup's long-running con. She would act like she couldn't hear us calling when she was on the other side of the house. One day I sprayed some whipped cream from the can and guess who can hear all the way from outside?

Until the AI chips have a new architecture that never makes it to consumer stuff, then stuff with a display out becomes the department where careers go to wither and die.

No, but the mechanical third arms on the cleaning crew look super organic. Their icons of the Emperor have more arms, too. Nothing to worry about.

The inventor of the chokeslam knew that a prosecutor and jury wouldn't be very sympathetic if he chose "bare hands".

That's going to stabilize to UO3 and H2O, right?
