Evil wizard seeks immortality, mis-scribes critical rune, ends up with indestructible enchanted vessel into which their soup will be transferred in the event of their death.

Important addenda:

  1. The evil wizard does not know this error has occurred.
  2. Owing to their rulership of their Evil Wizard Empire, and the peculiar laws thereof, the evil wizard technically owns rather a lot of soup.
  3. Whatever enterprising hero eventually manages to kill the evil wizard will have exactly one minute to figure this out.

oh man i had a notion ages ago to start doing like an october-ish Event of getting a bunch of people together to get flu shots and donuts (or something else tasty idk) and I forgot about it til today

I think if getting yearly vaccines was more of a fun social event it’d be a lot easier to do it promptly

and it’s like– if you have a reaction and the vaccine(s) end up making you feel sick the next couple days, well, at least you just got some fun social in right beforehand!

So anyways one inch tungsten cubes are bullshit. 25 mm, that would be fine, or 20 or even 30 mm. Sensible sizes for a cube of tungsten. But a one inch, that’s bullshit.

Compromise on a 25.4 mm cube?

Bullshit measured in metric units is still bullshit.

me when I hear my family making big Christmas plans that ignore the state’s mandate that says no more than 10 people in a space 

Somehow I don’t think your heart is going to grow three sizes if you see them gather with a large group of people to all sing together.

I’m trying to plan tomorrow’s grocery trip around the possibility that I will not dare to go back for quite some time. And if I *do* go on the 22nd, it will be planned likewise: December 22nd being of tolerable risk does not at all mean January 5th will be.

(I guess if January turns out terribly we might be able to drive out to one of the expensive grocery stores that offers curbside pickup. I still have all of my CERB money (if only just), and they gave it to me for a reason.)

@rustingbridges​ replied to your post:

is that where the word ontario comes from

Pretty much?

Apparently some people claim it’s actually “big lake” (or the more influenced-by-the-English-name-for-the-region translation “great lake”), and I seem to have misremembered *which* Iroquoian language it was, but everyone seems to be in agreement that it’s about impressive lakes. Because unlike the Cucamonga Desert, we have us some goddamn lakes.

(I guess that means there’s a little bit of Hillhillhill Hill going on with Lake Ontario, but anyway.)

Interesting!

I’m very pro hillhillhill Hill style names, and adopting foreign language synonyms to refer to a specific variant (like chai tea or kimonos in english).

however I’m down on calling arbitrary kitchen equipment french.

>>I’m very pro hillhillhill Hill style names

It sure beats naming everything Stratford all the time [link].

And yeah, there is a certain elegance in solutions like “using the Persian word for bread to mean ‘bread made in the Persian manner’”.
