Hopefully Arakhor isn't paying attention to the thread, otherwise what I will now post will be picked up as incriminating :/

This is about a new product, which is "squeezable runny egg yolk", or "yuck" going by the correct acronym :vomit:

(and they didn't even catch the Kwasi affair; the problem with being pre-recorded :P )

This is about a new product, which is "squeezable runny egg yolk", or "yuck" going by the correct acronym :vomit:

(and they didn't even catch the Kwasi affair; the problem with being pre-recorded :p )
They say:

Its ingredients are simple: it consists of a two-ingredient blend of egg and salt.​

I do not want to see the nutritional info on that.
 
Egg yoke is supposed to be good for a number of things, but I don't like the idea of using it as a common dressing.
They are mostly fat, and fairly high cholesterol. I do somewhat doubt the significance of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol, but like you the idea of having it on the shelf to put on sandwiches seems quite wrong.
 

Japan heritage worker backs car into oldest toilet at Kyoto temple​

A man whose job it is to help preserve Japan's cultural heritage has accidentally smashed his car into the country's oldest toilet at a centuries-old Buddhist temple.
The communal loo at Tofukuji in Kyoto dates back to the 15th century and is designated an important cultural asset.
Its ancient door was ruined after the employee hit the gas without realising the car was in reverse, police said.
No one was injured and the actual latrines inside remained intact.
The unnamed man, who works at the Kyoto Heritage Preservation called police soon after the crash, telling them he had crashed into the temple. He was said to be visiting the temple on business, according to the Sankei Shimbun newspaper.
A photo in the newspaper showed what appeared to be the car after it drove into the toilet's 700-year-old wooden door and pillars.

Toshio Ishikawa, director of the Tofukuji Research Institute, was "stunned" by the scale of the accident.
Another official said that although the damage is repairable, restoring the outhouse to its original state would require "lots of work".
The unused communal toilet - known as tōsu - was built in the first half of the Muromachi period (1336-1573) and is located inside Tofukuji temple.
It's nicknamed the "hyakusecchin", which means 100-person toilet, as it was used by more than 100 trainee monks at the temple practicing religious self-discipline, the newspaper Asahi Shimbun reported.
The paper describes it as a structure containing a stone row holding around 20 circular holes.

Oh s***
 
Fiends that aren't evil aren't fiends: likewise, celestials that aren't good aren't celestials. That's been a constant for as long as I've been alive.

This isn't the 90s anymore :D
Though I thought the point in such worlds/lore was exactly that you have good and evil. Otherwise you could try some other game.
 
It's not the 80s or the Noughties either! Then again, WotC are supposedly innovating and one should probably keep up with the times.
 
Imo it sacrifices a dynamic which was at the core of such games :) If they are to merely replace it with "everyone can be good" or "there is no good or evil", it won't be the actual game but another lore altogether.
That said, I never played D&D so I see no spin type A- neutral in this.
 
so , ı hear there is a Black Elf in Tolkienverse currently after an Human girl , while had Galadriel given in and "given some" to Sauron despite being married and all that , Sauron would not be evil . So , you know , it is the fault of some White woman that there was all that bloodshed ...
 
just reading it in the echo chamber . Despite being an Isengard nationalist and so on ... Supposedly Sauron is now an incel . Whatever the hell that might be .
 

Philippines: Student 'anti-cheating' exam hats go viral​

Images of students wearing so-called "anti-cheating hats" during college exams have gone viral on social media in the Philippines, sparking amusement.
Students at one college in Legazpi City were asked to wear headgear that would prevent them peeking at others' papers.
Many responded by creating homemade contraptions out of cardboard, egg boxes and other recycled materials.
Their tutor told the BBC she had been looking for a "fun way" to ensure "integrity and honesty" in her classes.
Mary Joy Mandane-Ortiz, a professor of mechanical engineering at Bicol University College of Engineering, said the idea had been "really effective".
It was implemented for recent mid-term exams, which were sat by hundreds of students at the college in the third week of October.

Prof Mandane-Ortiz said her initial request had been for students to make a "simple" design out of paper.
She was inspired by a technique reportedly used in Thailand some years previously.
In 2013, an image went viral appearing to show a room of university students in Bangkok taking test papers while wearing "ear flaps" - sheets of paper stuck to either side of their head to obscure their vision.

Prof Mandane-Ortiz said her engineers-in-training took the idea and ran with it - in some cases innovating complex headgear in "just five minutes" with any junk they found lying around.
Others donned hats, helmets or Halloween masks to fulfil the brief.

A string of the professor's Facebook posts - showing the youngsters wearing their elaborate creations - garnered thousands of likes in a matter of days, and attracted coverage from Filipino media outlets.

They also reportedly inspired schools and universities in other parts of the country to encourage their own students to put together anti-cheating headwear.
Prof Mandane-Ortiz said her tutees performed better this year, having been motivated by the strict examination conditions to study extra hard.
Many of them finished their tests early, she added - and nobody was caught cheating this year.
