    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The chainmailing forum I was a mod on was like the second, largely because it was based in the site of a manufacturer/retailer of chainmailing gear. you had newbies, journeymen, right up to the company owners and a few folks who, quite literally, wrote the book on making chainmail and scalemail...

    What's the best potato?

    Oh, they had butter all right. I often forget to mention it because it was ubiquitous. Even the chops were fried in butter.

    What's the best potato?

    Yes and no. The '70s style scalloped potatoes have a white sauce made from chicken stock, white flour, and a negligible amount of garlic. No cheese in sight. The boxed stuff is a step above that, by comparison. My mother loved to make scalloped potatoes and fried pork chops. I'm not really a fan...

    I tend to use canned potatoes if I'm making curry from a bottled sauce.

    What's the best potato?

    I must disagree with you there. Scalloped Potatoes are bad and just a waste of good carbs.

    Next time that it happens, do what the home inspectors do: Mark the location with painter's tape.

    One of my favourite meals, that I could rarely have, was liver, onions, mushrooms, and hash browns.

    Today I learned +

    Funny thing is that we were far from rich and both my parents came for fairly poor backgrounds (father's father was a coal miner and mother's father worked on the railroad, then was a guard in the local prison). My father just wanted to seem like we had more than we did so he ran up credit and...

    Today I learned +

    I get the impression that organ meat largely fell out of favour because it was seen as something poor people would eat. As a kid I actually thought it was a rare treat to get beef liver, because my parents always went for steak, roasts, and the like. I really grossed out my mother one day when I...

    Spoilers Stranger Things Season 5 - SPOILERS

    It was the reverse. The kids named the monsters that they were running into after creatures that they knew from D&D. The creatures names weren't revealed to them by having to deal with them.

    What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

    I saw Wheaton's social media posts about this, though he steered away from the incident you mentioned. I think you got a rare treat in seeing that first show. I'm envious.

    What's the best potato?

    I certainly won't argue the point. In honour of this thread I just got back from getting groceries, where I bought 3 beautiful yellow potatoes for shredding and frying. Already had the eggs and corned beef hash.

    What's the best potato?

    Shredded potato hash browns, preferably cooked in the grease from the corned beef hash that that they're being served with, and a side of scrambled eggs.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Her tats weren't line art and weren't just kept to areas of thick skin/muscle. She had "All's Fair" tattooed across the back of her fingers, full sleeves, all of her legs, across her back, abdomen... When making the chainmail for the shoot I consulted her Model Mayhem page and you could see the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was involved in a photoshoot (I've posted a couple of the pictures here, on occasion) that featured a couple of alt models. One of them would take tattoo vacations. As in go to Australia for a few weeks to get tattoos. She had full sleeves and was tattooed over maybe 2/3 of her body. The...
