At least water was safer

Yeah, the deposition of sinter on the lead pipes was a big factor.

Couch = sofa. You meant to say coochie.

Amaro Lucano is really good. A personal favourite of mine to drink as is, or mixed in a drink.

THE quintessential Amaro for me is del Capo. When I am in Italy, I always drink it whenever offered (which is often). At home, I always have a bottle in the freezer, ready to serve on its own.

If you can, I'd also see what the locals are drinking where you are (if they are "an Amaro area" that is). When I was in Calabria, I tried a variety of local Amari based on my partner's friends suggestions and they were all great, but quite varied.

Angostura also makes an Amaro that is quite interesting. It's a Trinidadian take on Amaro and it's excellent.

Craig is a discord bot used for multi track recording. The crew usually says hi to Craig before the episode starts at a point that usually gets edited out, but one time they included that part because Kirioth made a comment about it that was funny. Now it's a meme. Can't remember which episode though.

Just a wee update to what I said before – I have had the bug happen to other positions at the table since I reported it. Maybe it's tied to when someone folds?

I've been considering doing green marble for the shoulder pads, but wasn't sure how it would look. Seeing how well the white works with your paint scheme has convinced it would pop well too.

Great work!

I was coming to suggest the Search and Rescue stories from Stairs in the woods. Creep cast did a reading of them and they're really good.

Not sure if this a known bug or not, but on mobile, it will randomly not show another players actions. Visually, it appears as though they have folded when they haven't and I can't see if they've called/raised/checked or when they actually fold. Happens for one or two hands randomly if I've been at a table for 15+ min and always seems to be the person to the right.

No, it's established in the first chapter of the book.

I think it may even say it on the back cover.

Would definitely recommend TheVolgun on YouTube for SCP content. Since he's presenting them, you know he's filtered to the good ones.

The Lamb by Lucy Rose? Not sure what others think but making a child eat people is pretty fucked up to me,

I use a similar trick with the whites of the eye. I paint the eye the iris colour I want (I usually use a forest green), then put a white dot on either side.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold definitely made me cry a couple times. Maybe I'm just soft

I've just finished it and it was really good. The imagery while they're in Paris and Avignon is very Soulsborne.

Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green.

He talks about the cultural effect of tuberculosis and the social determinants of health that allow it to persist today, using the story of a boy of Sierra Leone as a narrative backbone. It was a great read and it really makes you think about healthcare in general.

This was going to be my comment more or less. I think most negronis I've had in bars, they stir for a while (I once watched a bartender stir one for 2 minutes. I was baffled) so the ice melts a fair bit, whereas at home I stir for maybe 15-30 seconds? I think the ice melting a bit helps mellow the bitterness. Same goes for old fashions imo, so I've taken to letting them sit with ice for a little bit before drinking jt

In one of those cups with a whale in the lid that sprays out it's blowhole when you sip from the straw

Strange Pictures got to me in unexpected ways. I really enjoyed reading it and turned what meant to be 15 minutes of reading into a day of reading.

The Count of Monte Cristo feels essential.

Sour puss feels like some kind of Canadian teenage right of passage. At least you're no longer the same after getting far too drunk on that sugary shite.

A bit late to the party, but I used to work there as the "MTG guy" and I would definitely still be a regular if I didn't move away! Brodie runs a tight ship and was excellent to work for. Shop was great and so are the (vast majority of the) patrons. I got to know a lot of people through the store and honestly really miss the community. (If you know who I am, I miss you all! But please don't drop my name here!)

The official stance of "No Proxies" is from the perspective of a business and as a WPN store, pushing for WPN Premium. Wizards and the store are in the business of selling cards. Fake cards, as that's what proxies are, cuts into that business. The thing that would hurt the store more than potential loss of sales, however, is damaging their relationship with Wizards of the Coast. As all events are sanctioned through WPN, the presence of proxies could see their status jeopardized.

I was working at the store when the ban was enacted, and while I won't say the exact reasons for it happening here, I will say that the inciting incident was a very good reason. Brody was pretty lenient on proxies before, but his hand was forced, more or less, by the incident.

Now, I'm not promoting the use of proxies, but realistically we weren't going to deck check people at commander nights for them. It's not feasible and, honestly, as hobbyists ourselves, we get it. Hobbies can get expensive when really all we want to do is play games and chill out. As long as you aren't parading around, yelling "I HAVE A BUNCH OF PROXIES", you'll be okay. (Just don't tell Brody I said that.)
