KuReshtin's Kallously Konfusing Konsternations - Random Banter #208

Operation Absinthe has reached phase 2: adding wormwood. Now I wait 2-3 hours. This is taking a while.

Frankly, if all you have to do is wait a few hours, that's some real quick liqueur in my book.

Most of the good recipes for DIY coffee liqueur or cinnamon whiskey~<3 requires at least being left overnight if not several days to a week.

[Razanir]

Yeah, I was building pastures on sheep resources, and I've been doing quite a lot of that in Civ as well as of lately...

Hey, man, I have a valid excuse to play a lot of Civ. I'm teaching myself Italian, so I set the language to it.

Operation Absinthe has reached phase 2: adding wormwood. Now I wait 2-3 hours. This is taking a while.

Be careful not to use too much wormwood. While that article is about taking the wormwood completely undiluted, I'm sure you can see that it would have the same effect (or worse) if you take the same amount diluted in alcohol, and 10ml is really not that much...

Wormwood eh? You ARE a wizard!

TeamBN's doing a Megaman Battle Network speedrun-marathon over on Twitch. Not just main-series, either. Here, if anyone's interested. They've already done 1 and 4, working through 3 (as a race) at the moment. Then 5, then 2, then Chrono X (fangame-in-progress), then some spinoffs like NT and BCC, plus other stuff I can't remember. Also all of Starforce

Donations are to Doctors Without Borders and there's a funny bidding war over Geo's name in SF1.

That's because Teddy always wins! We played a bit of Munchkin while he visited and he beat us soundly.

He also gave my brother and I a sound thrashing at Heroscape, despite never having played it before. Although that may have had something to do with the fact that my brother and I have a long and vindictive history with that game, and therefore were targeting each other for the most part.

There was a fire near Yellowknife and all the ash rained down on us.

What kind of fire? Were people hurt?

Also, I know teh lyrics to Sound of Silence too! And I'm just 22! So don't feel old, people!

I know the lyrics to every song from several early 1950s musicals! But that has nothing to do with my age; I'm just a theater geek.

Oh no, Phase 2 is the part that's 2-3 hours. The whole process takes about 28 hours. Currently I am in the midst of Phase 3: letting it sit.

Fear not, I have done all the right research. It would be extremely difficult for me to get a wormwood overdose with the amount that I'm using.

Is that because you're using less than a mole of the stuff?

[Amidus Drexel]

Great, now there's Demon Vampires. Or Vampire Demons. XD What did you learn about never giving the DM ideas, mang?

Giving the DM ideas is the best part! Sometimes they lead to things that are cool, or involve more gold.

ION: Helping the new admins of a small refugee forum for a now-displaced forum of stoners understand CSS has been an interesting process. Especially since I don't know much CSS. At least I can parse code and troubleshoot.

Indeed. Although I didn't exactly shy away from the battle myself. I mean, I one-shotted your brother's meat shielded wizard on round two, remember...

[LaZodiac]

What kind of fire? Were people hurt?

A forest fire, not much else to set on fire up here. No one was hurt as far as I know, though a lot of people with white cars are going to have the most sour day ever, if they don't clean their cars quickly enough. Ash stains are the worst.

[FinnLassie]

I believe you were the one suggesting that. But no.

Ooh, black pudding! Good stuff.

Good, good, you suspect nothing... *sharpens knives* Uh, these are, totally, you know, for cutting the sausage.

Indeed, everyone knows that Finnish Vampires are adorably cute and stop aging at around 14 or so. Meanwhile Finnalinn is a strong, healthy young adult human female feminine womanly dame.

Now whether the English have rubbed off on her to an unfortunate degree in her culinary appetites...

14-year-old looking vampires? Dear heavens, that's a very depressing idea. Everyone knows the optimal age for a Finn to turn a vampire is in their 20-odd------- uh nothing I mean.

I dunno, I don't really know any English people. I mean there's Dvil and people I met at the meet up, but that's really it, so I don't know why you're mentioning the English.

Well, they are vampires. Angst is their stock in trade. Stock and trade?

Because something as much of an abomination as blood sausage can't be Scottish, the Scots already had Haggis, after all

[enderlord99]

Vampires are brutish, feral idiots.

If someone wants to be undead, it's much better to be an alhoona lich.

But the true angst comes with the responsibilities of adulthood, no?

Blood sausage is actually a Finnish thing, but the Scots do have a kind of an equivalent, blood pudding.

[factotum]

Blood sausage is actually a Finnish thing

Pretty sure a lot of different countries have variants on that particular theme--the North of England has black pudding, for example.

I know, I know. But the term, black sausage, is specifically a Finnish thing. I wouldn't talk about blood sausage if I meant black pudding. The idea in the two is kinda the same, but carried out differently.

Your mom yelling at everyone for ten minutes and slamming doors cause your dad forgot something at the store isn't normal behaviour, right?

[Somensjev]

Your mom yelling at everyone for ten minutes and slamming doors cause your dad forgot something at the store isn't normal behaviour, right?

my mum normally yells at my little sister because she forgot something at the store, since said sister was harassing her

probably because my dad lives half a thousand odd kilometers from where i live

Not knowing anything further about the people mentioned, I'd say sometimes the smallest things can make one snap and overreact. If it happens often (every week or something like that), then I'd be worried.

Several times a week usually...

[Solse]

Several times a week usually...

In that case, there's a problem. I am not qualified to give medical advice, but from what I hear, she may need to see a therapist.

[LaZodiac]

Several times a week usually...

In that case, it is normal...for your parents, anyway. Either way, I wish **** like that didn't happen *sends hugs*

*coin drop*

No, that's Swedish vampires. Or paranormal romance, but people usually don't talk about that unless in scorn...

[Asta Kask]

And I have a new screen!

And I even managed to get all the cables together. Great shoutout to my brother, who always has the right adapters.

Damn, it's wide.

Have you ever even read Dracula?

[FinnLassie]

And I have a new screen!

I read that you have ice cream... I need to wear my glasses more often, or go and check if I need them for reading too or something.

Mmm.. Ice cream....

[Asta Kask]

Have you ever even read Dracula?

Dracula is an interesting case. While he is clearly very intelligent, the book also reveal him as stuck in his ways. He finds it difficult to understand the modern world, with trains and telegraphs - he is firmly stuck in the 16th century.

And while I do not have ice cream, I could easily get it.

You're all talking about "Let The Right One In", right? Cause I love that movie.

[Rawhide]

It's awesome. I'm told that the American remake is not as good, but I'd still like to see what they did with it.
