The kind of people who prep for this situation tend to be the kind of people who fantasize about this situation. There’s a part of them (sometimes a big part of them) that hopes this will happen.

One thing I’ve never understood about these doomsday prepper people who need to be armed to the teeth to prepare for the coming apocalypse is... if the world has seriously deteriorated to the point where you need to kill other people to survive; where food and medicine are scarce and supply chains have no chance of…

You can NOT almost always substitute dutch process cocoa for natural cocoa, not in recpies that call for chemical leavening. If your recipe contains baking powder/baking soda, they depend on a certain pH that the recipe expects from natrual cocoa powder - I know from making a batch of very dark and delicious but VERY…

I hope they’ve added some patch fixes and better optimization to The Saboteur because I remember it running poorly.

Compared to other cocoa powder, Dutch-process cocoa powder has lower acidity, which means higher pH. Lower pH = more acidic, just as stated in the Serious Eats post linked above.

Dutch process is always the better cocoa powder.

I dream of a world where empathy happens without it having to be because “it hit home”, can’t we be kind to people who aren’t our family?

It would be interesting to have a show where he has a non-binary grandchild and learns the meaning of empathy.

“Two Half Men”

Right, I forgot about walking away (I haven’t played the game since it came out).

I’d add that the endings wound up just being the dialogue wheel options again. Same color options plus a ‘walk away’. None of the franchise-long promises about your choices mattering actually happened. Everything was pushed towards a readiness score that you could boost through multiplayer or a mobile game so nothing…

Everybody's worst nightmare.

4 endings. You could also choose to walk away and not choose any of the 3 choices presented to you. I feel that’s important to mention when so many people often say that all 3 choices were bad and that their shepherd wouldn’t choose any of them. You have that choice too, it may also not be a very good one, but often…

“Organics and synthetics can’t live together in harmony”

To me, the big problem with the ME3 ending was that Mass Effect was defined by binary choices - the ethics aren’t always clear, one isn’t “evil” while the other is “good”, but they at least feel consistent. Paragon vs Renegade. A Paragon frees the Rachni Queen because she and the rachni deserve to be free, a Renegade…

It wasn’t about the choices we made, it was about the Marauder Shields we lost along the way :(

Gotta cater to the red state viewership somehow. Make Tim Allen’s neighbor Kevin Sorbo.

Mass Effect 3 ending discussion? In 2024?

Classic Floridaman move.
