It is not arbitrary. UFO claims are essentially supernatural with science fictioney window dressing. Leaving aside that some sightings that truly defy rational explanation -like the above mentioned army list, and in this case there is a chasm between "I can't explain it rationally" and...

Sleep paralysis explains everything. The feeling of someone touching my forehead, the feeling of being strangulated by a dark figure, me waking up with an anguished voice, the door bursting open at the right time, the bed jumping ! All of it is sleep paralysis.

Guilty as charged, I guess. ( Though sassy me would say "given my tagline, it must have been a giant surprise n_n ) In my defense I lean more towards "some stuff is outside the paradigm of reason. I won't pretend I can understand it rationally when it's obvious I won't ever, and that's ok, but...

I would have preferred a "don't know" option. In the end I said "yes" because there's a lot of stuff in the world (and experiences I won't share this time) that tell me something exists. And well, I'm religious myself, so maybe not believing in ghosts as discarnated undead, but something that we...

However I find it more honest to just claim something unexplainable to be magic/supernatural or even ghosts or angels than go towards pseudocientific stuff like aliens and then claim it is 'better' somehow because we are just ignorant and we could always find new stuff in the laws of physics...

But there comes a point where all knowledge relies on one or more leaps of faith. We need some faith in order to have knowledge, otherwise we end up on a neverending cycle of requiring proof after proof after proof. We at some point need to have faith in others and take their data and knowledge...

I've since being corrected. I was thinking about California sourdough. Specifically thinking about olive oil, all of the false oil in the market just made me switch to avocado oil. Less corruption, more locally available, and more stable for cooking.

In theory, one could reproduce conditions in an almost lab-like environment. In practice, there are lots of little known factors that make a big difference and we can't truly control them. (Like the little cave that was ruined by a lone cheetos envelope)

I think there was a bread variety that can only be made in NY because the yeast would change anywhere else in the world and lose the specific bitter tase or something?

Funny that Mezcal is itself also PDO. And because getting it is expensive -because every influencer and theie dog wanted theor own brand-, many small producers are just selling "agave spirits" (destilado from agave).

It is a matter of balancing workloads and looking to remove pointless work (instead of looking to do it faster)

Better than working with 5e, Level up, PF 2, Runequest, Archamge Engine and the whole 3.x OGC ecosystem?

Finally went to see it. In general it isn't a great movie, but I was in for a popcorn movie and it delivers. The cast is the best part, everybody seems like they were having fun. I like that the villain isn't just midlessly moustache twirling evil for the sake of being evil, just ammoral and...

Not that old. My first time on the internet was in a museum for children (circa 1997) and all that existed was the Yahoo directory and the browser was Netscape.

Oh the pre-web search internet! How nostalgic!

It's kind of my dream too. (I just want to carry my media on my phone not a NAS.) My biggest stumbling block is that I don't have a bluray drive. I'm little by little copying my CDs into high sampling wavs though.

Roku all the way. I couldn't avoid Google tv when I bought a big 4k tv, but Roku is my preference.

Then learning it should be trivial and you don't need an arcane and complex piece of software trained on exabytes of pirated material and running on costly state of the art gpu clusters while spending tons of electricity and water for every art piece, right?/s n_n More seriously this idea of...

@Theory of Games I finally got to check names. The other book I wanted to suggest was Learning to Draw by Robert Kaupelis. It is kind of foundational for many art programs. Also you can check books by Andrew Loomis to get started.

Speaking of this, I'm looking for cheapish indie games. I have about $10 in wallet. I've considered some classics that are cheap, but I can't buy them all and I want to try newer stuff.
