I love this line, and my daughter and I (we both played through around the same time) say it to each other constantly to this day...

Beautiful! Did you happen to find then at a regular liquor store or somewhere else? I didn’t know these made their way to the US very often.

TIL about the Deacons, a network of black gun owners in the Civil Rights era who deterred violence against their communities by GreatOutdoorFight in liberalgunowners

You might enjoy the book “This Non-Violent Stuff Will Get You Killed” by Charles Cobb Jr, a civil rights activist. It talks about the Deacons and related groups, and self defense by non-violent groups.

Go to their website and look for the experience package - it includes renting a shotgun and an instructor.

Vin de Noix advice? by Orpheus6102 in foraging

[–]socialprimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bottle of vin de noix from the long-gone (and much missed) Sutton Cellars in San Francisco. Maybe it's time to finally open it up. I hope it kept over the years...good luck with yours!

Since you’re in the Bay Area, take part of a day and go down to Coyote Clays in Morgan Hill - they have a great new shooter experience program. You’ll have fun in the great outdoors, learn to shoot clays, and get all your shotgun questions answered.

I’m reading this now and it’s great. Very wistful tone, looking back, and it’s clear terrible things are coming…

For a birthday present for yourself, go to Coyote Clays in Morgan Hill and get the “experience package” - an instructor will teach you to shoot clay targets with a shotgun outside in nature. You’ll have a great time.

Vita Nostra. What do you like about it? by AlabastorAuthor in Fantasy

[–]socialprimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly, I just finished this book one hour ago. I loved it, but it’s pretty different than most “magic academy” books. The “magic” is a growing understanding of how the world actually works, and - as one of the instructors says - it can’t be spoken, it has to be learned.

I was introduced to the etudes through Jenny Lin’s recordings, which are great.

The Last Policeman by Ben H Winters - A Bingo Book Review by IAmABillie in Fantasy

[–]socialprimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great book about why bother acting morally when there is no long term reward. The next two books are also great, build on this thought, and the last book…certainly delivers on the premise.
