    I wonder if they make any distinctive baked goods in Flint....

    My other issue is climate change. If climate really is that important to these foods then they need to be monitoring the climate and periodically redrawing the allowed boundries to make sure that they continue to reflect the area with the appropriate climate and not just the area with that name

    D&D General I finally like non-Tolkien species for PCs

    There's other human shaped dragony things in D&D and the dragonborn, or at least the 3.5e version that I'm most familiar with, are by far the lamest. Draconians are better. So are kobolds. Actually 3.5 had gnomes as a core race too, not just the tolkien standards. I don't get the visceral...

    D&D General Discworld alignments

    I think Death is Lawful. He doesn't like a lot of the rules but he seems intrinsically unable to actually break them

    There has to be someone else who makes an identical cheese. I don't buy into Europe's magic land voodoo for one second. Yes the soil affects the plants, yes the plants affect the cows. But the soil and the plants ca both be duplicated. There's nothing special about them.

    Full Reboot - Paranoia. Friend Computer has finally decided to just kill everyone in Alpha Compmex and start from scratch. Its the only way to root out those subversive elements once and for all. The PCs are somehow accidentally informed of this, even though it's a secret that not even the...

    Yes, but what would be that type of blue cheese made somewhere else be called?

    "Parmesan" and "Gorgonzola" aren't actually types of cheese. They're Portected Designations of Origin - essentially meaningless trademarks, except for place of origin rather than manufacturer (so even more irrelevant than a real trademark). The infuriating thing is that I couldn't tell you what...

    Unusual Sandwiches

    I wonder, would a pizza qualify as an open-faced sandwich, and if so would two pizzas stacked on top of each other qualify as a club sandwich

    Your Pizza Order

    Note that I checked off Onions, Garlic, and Chicken but these also entail either non-stzndard sauces (barbecue sauce with the chicken) or non-standard cheeses (gorgonzola with the garlic and onion)

    isn't "democratic republic" usually a euphemism for a dictatorship anyway? Like "democratic republic" or "democratic people's republic" in a country's name is usually a red flag. The lady doth protest too much
