Or yet another hazy IPA, or maybe a pastry stout. (There are good examples of both, but there really are other styles of beer I'd love to see brewers make, as well.)

It's not wildly different. There were brewers making delicious, wildly hoppy beers; and there were brewers making unbalanced messes.

Unrelated to the above: That's probably one of the most-incorrect things I've seen someone say about this hobby in some time.

We kinda bashed our way through learning Gloomhaven, which made learning Frosthaven kinda an iterative thing. The fact we mostly play co-op games--stuff like Pandemic or Eldritch Horror--and TRPGs means we're used to handling edge-cases that come up. Usually, we have someone (or some ones) read...

I figured it was just because he was a bard.

You're a TRPGer, just roll some dice.

Working around different ... thresholds, such as around spicy heat, can be challenging. We could (and have) get a pizza with jalapenos on half of it; I've taken to seasoning food I cook differently--where possible, keeping track of which item is hers, and seasoning it less than mine. I still...

I might put bacon jam, or onion/garlic jam on it, sure. :LOL:

That stuff, to me, isn't licorice--it's certainly not the flavor that makes me gag. It's not my favorite, either, but it's not horrific. Alas, I'm not a fan of any leafy greens, and how I feel about tomatoes as a topping will depend on how thoroughly they get cooked (I don't like raw tomatoes)...

I can't stand licorice at all, in any form. I can barely tolerate anise/star anise/fennel, even in contexts they belong. Jalapenos, pineapple, bacon/ham, onions. That's my own jam.

I like jalapenos on pizza, but my wife doesn't have as much tolerance for capsaicin as I do, so we don't do that much. I'm not normally a person to sprinkle red pepper flakes on my pizza, but I've come to appreciate Burlap & Barrel's Diavolo spice blend as a pizza sprinkle.

Licorice is an abomination, in any context. I could go with jalapenos and pineapple on a pizza, though.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear of someone using butter on top of a burger--this is a thing I have a vague sense I've heard of--and especially compound butter seems as though it'd be nice.

I think the closest you can get is to purchase a "smart" TV and just not hook it to your home network. I gather they're working on closing that loophole.

My wife and I make extensive use of our local library systems (we live in a place where we have ready access to four). This past Saturday I came home from the library with seventeen novels, it'll take me probably a couple weeks-ish to get through them.

Didn't he write essentially a self-caricature in "The New York Review of Bird?" (I don't know how to feel that I was able to pull that short story title out of deep storage, even if it seemed to take forever.)

Yeah, he blew up a lot of professional relationships. Like, really a lot. That seems plausible, all the way around.

That's the one Harlan Ellison was associated with, right? I remember reading a thing he wrote about some TV series, and all his conflicts (shocking!) with the producers, and I think that was it.
