    Eggses!

    If you eat eggs .. how do you prefer them prepared? Favorite egg dish? Came out of curiosity as I was preparing some basic eggs for my wife while she wasn't feeling well. I default to scrambled; when she makes them for herself it's more a cross between fried and over-hard (done like an...

    Should be filming 2 & 3 back to back so the Egg actor doesn't grow too much.

    One wonders if she'll become the new "Agony of Defeat." Extreme bravery and extreme foolhardiness are not mutually exclusive, and seem to have a lot of overlap in these high-risk sports. Vonn knew what she was getting into and I think deserves some credit for being willing to push 100% -- go...

    Olympics 2026 Thread

    We watch some of the X-games-style events (snowboarding, freestyle skiing, etc), downhill, catch a little biathlon. Maybe some figure skating and speed skating, though my interest in the former has dropped significantly over the years along with other sports that are scored based on aesthetics...

    I hear Soho and Brighton are the places to look. Perhaps in between.

    D&D General When Was it Decided Fighters Should Suck at Everything but Combat?

    It's in the name. Fighters (fighting men) fight -- you need rules for that. For everything else you choose to have them do, you don't need rules.

    Rule of cool? // In universe ... maybe the risk that the six buddies you pick aren't as good as the six buddies your opponent picks? It's no longer your skill at arms that matters in that case. Plus as we see from the original ASOIAF series, a trial by combat doesn't necessarily mean that the...

    Funny what happens if they follow a proven written story vs freelancing. Bad acting and directing can still ruin good writing, but no amount of good acting and directing will save bad writing.

    Not as such. It's not that I'm offended, it's that I feel that it cheapens an otherwise admirable adaptation. I saw the interview with the show runners who said "we're dumping on Sir Arlan in this episode so we wanted to give him something he could be respected for." And that's what you pick...

    Spoilers A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

    You know, the source material already has plenty of genre-appropriate crassness (some might argue too much); the show really doesn't need to add additional material for shock value or additional crude jokes.

    I dunno, Ravenclaw has had a pretty good season. I vote Arsenal.

    D&D General So how do Half-Elfs feel different to Elfs?

    Half-elves are far more emo due to internal emotional conflicts about their half-human heritage.
