Soggy,

Baked “fries” hardly compare. Flavor, texture, it’s all different.

Soggy,

Kind of skipped bronze, since there aren’t ready sources of copper and tin on his property. But yes his experiments with iron processing have been interesting. Pretty incredible what can be managed with such simple tools.

Soggy,

I went to school with the number one melee player in my state. I played him a ton over the years and never beat him once. The skill disparity between “serious tournament competitor” and “best in the neighborhood” is boggling.

Soggy,

So uh, what’s your favorite table?

Soggy,

Black Knight is really good, a top 5 for me. Attack From Mars is my favorite. Other notables: Medieval Madness, Champion Pub, and of course the ubiquitous Addams Family and Twilight Zone.

Soggy,

I’m fully in favor of tiered and more rigorous licensing. Basic license should only clear you to drive a small, low-power sedan/wagon/hatchback. Vast majority of people won’t ever need more than that.

Soggy,

Carrots, corn, and peas all poke holes in that definition. It’s a culinary definition but also an arbitrary and subjective one, trying to define rules just makes it more ridiculous.

Soggy,

Peanuts growing underground is also really weird. Very few plants hide their fruit like that.

Soggy,

They work very well if you’re trying to identify and classify plants.

Soggy,

Ironically, US English is in many ways more traditional than UK English. The US uses many words and phrases that used to be common to both continents but later changed in the UK.

US did try to de-French most spellings with mixed success.

Soggy,

Changing spellings to match pronunciation should happen more often, to ne honest. And I don’t think UK or Australian English get to throw any stones about shortening words and phrases, the US isn’t calling anything “spag bol”.

Soggy,

Until I can spend many thousands of dollars on a home theater room it will be an inferior experience to going out. I don’t need to pause to make snacks, or put captions on, or whatever. I’m happy to pay fifteen dollars for the occasional ticket and then fifteen more for eight cents worth of soda and popcorn loaded with salt and butter-flavored-oil because I know theaters don’t see a pock of the ticket money.

I want a comfy recliner, a giant screen, outrageous sound volume, and two hours of uninterrupted movie. The places I usually go to are clean, I’ve never had a problem with rude patrons (the occasional restless child at family movies, sure), and I feel like I get good entertainment for the money. It’s not a weekly thing, maybe monthly.

Soggy,

So you can control it. And yes I usually just watch the movie alone.

Soggy,

You’re interrupting the movie and making people miss out. If all agree ahead of time to do a MST3K kinda thing, sure. As a compromise: pause the movie first.

Soggy,

Ideally, yes. Discussion is for immediately after.

Soggy,

Same rules apply, the social contract stands unless specifically talked about beforehand.

Soggy,

You can be social without constantly hearing yourself talk.

Soggy,

Sure it is, you’re sharing an experience. It’s exactly the same as going to a theater but the screen is smaller and snacks are cheaper.

Soggy,

Definitely not true for gen 2, and I imagine gen 1 was the same. I had to change those batteries with a melted pen.

Soggy,

Some people have principles beyond “make money.”
