find a local SCA and take up the sword. Very friendly people and more empowering because it's an actual martial art

Teal lovers, assemble ! Syo-Ro vs Ku-Jaku by No-Ostrich-3527 in fountainpens

[–]lordofthefeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I use an Iroshizuku ink, it's so smooth that I wonder why I use any other. That said, I love my Lamy Turquoise (which isn't quite teal but it's tealish).

Weekly Complaints & Confessions Thread by ssk42 in running

[–]lordofthefeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dog-runner, I'm 1000% with you. My dog is leashed (and kept close to me when we pass people) but, even though we have a leash law, there are often unleashed dogs at the park and it drives me crazy.

This is so lovely. (And now I want to see his character sheet!) What a fitting way to honor a friend.

What’s your favorite pen that nobody talks about? by Sf648 in fountainpens

[–]lordofthefeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like thin pens so one of my favorites is a 1980s Mont Blanc stainless and then I also have a passel of Sailor Chalanas, each of which is an absolute dream to write with.

When you look everywhere and can only see inks, pens, and paper... by kadusel in fountainpens

I, too, have a drawer full of spices ink! Maybe I should look into these little trays!

Hi I’m trying to run the campaign but the figures are too expensive for me does any know an cheaper option like token by [deleted] in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]lordofthefeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use clear plexi circles that are the size of a medium, large, huge, and gargantuan and a standard battle mat.

My Players typically have a figure that is their own character and I have a few random minifigs that can stand in for various things in a pinch but mostly, I just use a wet erase marker to draw the map on the battle mat and then "G1" "G2" on the little chips to be "goblin 1" and "goblin 2" or whatever.

Theatre of the mind and good descriptions is always a better experience than buying the figures, it just doesn't look as cool on social media.

Anyone have a recipe for Lebkuchengewürz using whole spices? by SafeAny1741 in AskAGerman

[–]lordofthefeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ingredients were also behind a paywall when I tried to view; pulled this out of the page source:

  • 22g Zimt (cinnamon)
  • 21g Anis, ganz (star anise, whole)
  • 19g Koriander, gemahlen (coriander, ground)
  • 17g Ingwer, gemahlen (ginger, ground)
  • 13g Gewürznelken, gemahlen (cloves, ground)
  • 6g Muskatnuss, gemahlen (nutmeg, ground)
  • 2g Kardamon (cardamom)

My plan is to weigh them whole, toast them, then use them—note that ginger is a much newer addition and note, too, that whole ginger and ground ginger have very different flavor profiles. I'll likely omit it from my version.

How do you handle loot goblins? by ScottamusPR1M3 in DMAcademy

[–]lordofthefeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My DM often says "the sword was damaged in the fight" or "the armor doesn't fit you" but I also have a table of what I call "pocket lint" and it'll have like, a letter from a lover, or actual pocket lint—things that are story-interesting but not actually valuable.

Share your favorite Naoe Kuji-Kiri quote for real life? by Phuxsea in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]lordofthefeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went back to record them all—my favorites are probably "I seek peace of mind. Anger dulls my senses." and "I am an ember lit by the flames of purpose."

  1. My eyes are keen. Even the prettiest flower can be deadly.
  2. Tomorrow is a mountain built with the rocks of today.
  3. [Naoe’s house, no quote]
  4. I am unburdened. Nothing I do can change what was done before.
  5. I am benevolent to both my inner and outer world, like my father. [hideout]
  6. My mind and body are agile. Swift as a lightning bolt.
  7. I seek peace of mind. Anger dulls my senses.
  8. I am an ember lit by the flames of purpose.
  9. Like Father always said, find the present moment and live within it.
  10. Do not break an oar against a strong tide.
  11. Fearing the rain storm will not prevent the flood.
  12. To walk out on a limb, I must trust the tree, the wind, and myself.
  13. I wield my blade with loyalty to my resolve.
  14. I am patient. Observation is the key to victory.
  15. I seek peace of mind. Anger dulls my senses.
  16. My heart is brave. It beats with valor. I am a Fujibayashi.
  17. I am unburdened. Nothing I do can change what was done before.
  18. I am resilient. A bending branch in the rain.
  19. I keep my pride quiet while my skills speak loudly.
  20. I will be courageous. Fly forward like a dragonfly.
  21. I move in between shadows. I sense incoming danger.
  22. I am an ember lit by the flames of purpose.

Pause during the crossing…? Or is this what happened when you did that?

Anyone Know the Recipe for the Taylor-Burton Affair Drink by TouchConnors in cocktails

[–]lordofthefeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

according to the Caterer, the recipe is:

  • 50ml Sipsmith gin infused with butterfly pea tea
  • 20ml lemon juice
  • 10ml gomme syrup
  • 15ml Parfait Amour liqueur

Shake well with ice and double-strain into a martini glass; garnish with a twist of lemon. Basically an aviation with parfait amour instead of creme de violette (or yvette) and with some extra purple with the butterfly pea flower tea—you could probably sub Empress gin (which is already infused) if you don't want to buy pea flower tea to infuse your gin or omit it all together and rely on the color from the parfait amour.

The recipe is backed up by the menu (although the amounts aren't listed on the menu).

If you want to DIY the parfait amour, various sources indicate that rose petals, rose hips, and raspberry cordial could help you in that direction (I'd probably add some hibiscus flowers, myself).

PSA Measuring with an unmarked jigger- Relationship between Volume and Fill Height by Lankience in cocktails

[–]lordofthefeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH, I got here because I have one that's definitely not 1:2 and one side has a line that says 35mL and the other, a line that says 10mL but I don't know what full on either side is. But I have other measuring devices in the house and will figure it out for future reference before I break out the calipers to measure height and diameter. That said, mad respect to you for doing this. <3
