One of my cousins is working on a project that essentially has him working here in D/FW 4 days a week while his wife & kids are still living in Houston. He travels home every Friday, coming back here on Sunday nights. The project is expected to last some ways into 2025. SMDH. His parents...

As an artist, I’ll just say that ambiguity invites interpretation and reinterpretation.

Mod Note: I’m going to do two things: 1) strongly suggest that @Bedrockgames and @Some Dude use their respective ignore lists. 2) close this thread because it is no longer productive, and may not have been so since the 2nd page.

While I’m here, let me just note that some very good people & organizations HAVE- and will likely continue to- defended very bad people when questions of fundamental rights are involved. Notably, the ACLU has had their lawyers represent Klansmen in cases with important Constitutional law...

I don’t dislike The Beach Boys- Lord knows I sing along with most of their songs- but I wouldn’t consider myself a fan. No denying their talent or impact on popular music, though.

Fair enough. That said, we tend to avoid too much actual discussion of the lives of the passings we memorialize in these threads. Moving on?

I eat more kinds than I cook with- I only buy white buttons and portobellos.

I forgot about dice. I started off with a hard-edged purple set I had to crayon in the colors. (I still have them.) I bought a couple more sets between 1977 and 1992, but not many. Mostly extra d6s for board games. But in the early 1990s, Alan & Kathy Hench of Austin were the family that...

I never really got into painting minis, but I have several hundred pounds of them- lead, pewter, resin, cardboard & plastic- mostly of fantasy, sci-fi characters. Included in that are not just heroes & foes, but things like Dwarven Forge (and other) terrain. They come from a variety of...

That’s a good way to start. Other ingredients that could work well with that include tomatoes, mushrooms- especially portobellos- and beans. In fact, you might find you’re able to use mushrooms and/or beans as substitutes for red meat in certain situations. For example, I occasionally use...

I’m not 100% on my seasoning either. My cast iron does OK, but my carbon-steel is a gremlin. My initial seasoning (years ago) looked GORGEOUS! But a few months later, part of it failed. So I reseasoned it. That time lasted more than a year, then got patchy. So I’m getting used to redoing...

Trying to cook today and running into the rules of physics. Last weekend, I did a bunch of cooking, and among other things, decided to re-season a cast iron skillet and a carbon-steel skillet. (I usually do 3 courses of the seasoning.) Because I was busy doing other things, I simply left the...

This one will NOT let you make fetch happen.
