My thought is some sort of rosemary heavy crust with whole wheat bread crumbs instead of graham crackers, a garlic and onion flavored (and sugar free) cheese cake and then standard Philly cheese steak filling for the topping. Add in a dollop of cheese wiz on the top and some sort of balsamic/worcestershire reduction drizzled onto the top.

That… could work?
I mean it’d be a real challenge, but some sort of savory cheesecake, with a savory crust, topped with cheese steak fillings and I could see it being… okay-ish. I don’t think it would gain mainstream appeal, but I could see it being some sort of local delicacy that all the locals say is delicious but also a acquired taste.

IIRC it’s because they classified the bong water as the controlled substance. As such it’s treated as if she were smuggling a half pound or so of meth rather then bong water that tested positive for methamphetamine.

If you liked the SNES Megaman X games you’ll like 20XX.

I wonder how good of a wooden axe you could make? Like what if you carved the axe head out of lignum vitae or something.
- Comment on Would you drink breast milk if it was commercially available? 2 months ago:
That opens up the possibility of vegan cheese, butter, etc. but as true dairy products.
There actually are vegan dairy-ish products out there. Several startups have inserted the gene for casein (the main protein in milk) into yeast. So you just harvest the casein, add a little bit of some sort of fat and sugar and you have something that’s 99% the same as milk, and can be used in the same sorts of processes.
The only product that I’ve actually tried was some Brave Robot ice cream, which was well… ice cream.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 2 months ago:
Two things really.
-
Tradition. Alcohol has a long history in European culture and by immigration the United States. It’s common to have a glass of wine or a beer with dinner, the rich will impress their friends with the extravagant alcohol they drink serve, you take a glass of wine at communion… heck at one point weak beers were drunk more than water, because at the time nobody knew what made water safe to drink but everyone could tell if beer smelled rotten.
-
Production. Marijuana is easy to grow, but it takes a lot of time and space to produce. Alcohol on the other hand you need something with sugar and some yeast or starter. It can be fermented in some corner of the basement or even a cupboard. It’s hard to control the production of alcohol even in prisons there’s usually someone fermenting pruno somewhere and that’s one of the most controlled and monitored environments. It’s really hard to prevent people from brewing some form of alcohol because it’s about as easy as making bread.
When you combine these two you end up with the disaster that occurred when the United States tried to ban alcohol during prohibition. An easy to produce intoxicant with a large market was suddenly banned, when people started looking for more organized crime stepped in to fill the void.

Are you sure those aren’t nylon bags? Anyway I’ve found PLA’s biodegradability highly over rated. When Sunchips were doing those PLA bags I threw one into a worm bin, when I emptied the bin a year later it looked pretty much unchanged.

Don’t I know it. My house is right next to a highway and was apparently placed by someone who loved the sound engine breaking. I probably have tire rubber dust settling on everything outside.

Well shit. I guess I’m gonna have a lot of micro plastics in my compost then.
- Comment on Plastic tea bags 3 months ago:
God I hate those. Paper tea bags you can toss into the fireplace or in the compost depending on the time of year, but those plastic ones you can’t do anything but chuck them into the trash.

Meh…
I mean most sweet and sour sauces are primarily a fruit, sugar, vinegar and a thickener… which pretty similar to ketchup. And those are considered okay to put on sushi.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Volume 1
Well that’s kinda fitting I suppose, from one portable to another.

Yeah… two of the characters in the Chinese text are different, but the rest of the image is the same. I guess that explains it.
Whoever photoshopped it did a great job. I totally didn’t notice it had been altered from the version I thought it was.
- Comment on Do tiny grass dream of trees? 6 months ago:
Huh, I can’t read Chinese so I’m obviously taking others word for it, but several people in this Reddit thread and this language blog both said there were several problems with the Chinese text.
- Comment on Do tiny grass dream of trees? 6 months ago:
IIRC the English is apparently the original text and the Chinese is nonsensical Google translate output.
- Comment on this 7 months ago:
Ah, okay.
So it’s just a “find the right picture” rather than “roll dice till you get a roll of five”. That’s still annoying, but a lot less insane.
- Comment on this 7 months ago:
Wait… am I misunderstanding this or are they asking you to just sit there and roll dice till you get all ones on 5 D6’s?

Kinda hard to categorize. I mean child me would have lost their mind over most modern games, but back when I was a kid in the late 80’s having a game who’s gameplay was more complex than “shoot till you die” was revolutionary. As such I’m gonna rank my three picks taking into account to the era they released.
Adventure. Adventure was a goal oriented… well, adventure game. That doesn’t sound like much now but at the time it was amazing. You had to move multiple items one at a time while dodging dragons (or killing them if you had the right item) to complete the game. Add in a item stealing bat and a item randomizer mode and for the time it was a truly amazing game for the time.
Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger joins time traveling with standard “saving the world” storyline, but somehow it’s more than the sum of it’s parts. Chrono Trigger is the pinnacle of the SNES JRPG with the perfect mix of taking itself seriously and just being a fun RPG.
Binding of Issac. One of the early “Roguelike unlock-a-thon” games BoI has just the right mix of “I want to unlock a new item” and “How broken will this run get?” that keeps me coming back. Granted, I’m combining the original Binding of Issac with Rebirth through Afterbirth here, but there’s enough continuity for me to group them all together.

However, without an alternative to get a lot of these games, it feels very shitty.
Well… while there’s no legal way to get many of the 3DS games, there are plenty of alternatives still available.

I mean, to be fair both consoles are over a decade old.
