You are doing the festivities wrong... WRONG!

The real catch will be finding an authentic haunted house... Imagine family squabbling and suing over the fact that in the opinion of those who were skipped over in the will, the heir didn't fulfill the will because it wasn't really a haunted house in the first place... ...
Now I wonder if Freehold has an opinion about that movie...
Could you do my work for me? I got things pilled up over the week... :/
The forum blocks me from posting:
Mephisto: Has decided it's great fun. If Impus Major is nearby, he'll sit on it and yowl at him until Impus Major starts manually turning the wheel for him. If Impus Major stops, he stops. The wheel is obviously all about making the humans work to serve him. See, he might be a tad smarter than you are giving him credit for...
Beware your death predictions... Remember how it went with the My maternal grandmother was getting weaker and weaker through the whole end of the year. I came to visit her around Christmas and she at first mistook me for my uncle (it might the fact that she was near blind and deaf at that time), and her roommates were sure she's a goner anytime soon. However. My mom was in England at that time, and because of dad's work schedule she couldn't come until the end of pheasant caretaking season which happened in the Spring. Grandma somehow got better and lasted until mom could visit Poland in March and see her... And then promptly passed away a day or two later... She basically stayed alive for three months just to say her goodbye.

I got a military uniform in my previou-previous work (grounds maintenance at the nearby Aviation Museum) as work cloths - director wanted a rag-tag bunch of employment office rejects to look, well, uniform. The light jacket that I got at the next gig was completely work-unrelated. The boss got it somewhere and either he didn't like it or it was too short/tight for him, and it was definitely too tight for three other guys working there at the time, so they told me to check it and it was fine.
Pure gold comment on B5 fans group I read today: "Our species descends from the primates that fell from the trees and were too stupid to climb up again." <3
(And yes, it's another downloadable MP4, 'cause a browser actually playing a video apparently isn't a thing.) Use NoScript! No Exceptions!
Maybe a little exception...
Freehold blessed us with the whiteness all around. It's cold and wet...
Woohoo! Now I don't have to talk to strangers in the grocery store! FaWtL is back!I wasn't that desperate. Yet. *shrugs at the self-checkout machine*
The recipe for "Italian pasta a la Neapolitan" explicitly calls for breaking the pasta in half... The first edition of this cookbook predates existence of Italy (as a state)... Checkmate Italians!
Apparently tomatoes were slowly becoming popular in Poland and Ukraine during later parts of 19th century, so if the recipe is from late 1800s, then it is possible, though of course more likely it was a recipe for gentry/middle class than peasants. Coincidentally gentry and bourgeoise were more likely to be writing cookbooks than actual peasants... "Winter" recipe more likely would be using tomato paste than fresh tomatoes, of course, but it is another matter.

Hasn't Nobody warned us years ago against downloading unknown videos from dubious websites?
Does anyone else feels that looks like a classical stop motion puppet? Also, did you go to Halloween dressed as your bigger brother?
You know it works like that in every civilized country, right? That's what is one of key differences between a democratic republic and an oligarchic one...
My guess is that they don't want to make a precedent, because once they start paying the controllers, the government forever removes that part of funding and it will stick to airlines to pay for controllers... And that's even without getting into possibility of bidding wars for preferential treatment for airline that pays more than other. Anyway, likely there is no legal way for them to pay. If controllers are government employees they can't receive money for third parties and third parties can't legally give them money... At least until US Supreme Court guts the antibribery laws even further...
Sheesh, can't we check US election results without running into a Polish surname anymore?
We are delaying the apocalypse! And then people are surprised that no-one (Nobody?) reads manuals...

"The thing that most non-Americans don't realize, is that the US is (at least) 50 small countries in a trench coat pretending to be one large country." This is a more tactful version than the one I know... Spoiler: America is a bunch of Third World countries in a trench coat with military force larger than God's pretending to be a First World country...
I have finished Ori and the Will of the Wisps. A beautiful game, beautiful music, beautiful movement, better progression than the Blind Forest, with much less frustrating moments (though not without them, especially chase sequences). I enjoyed it more than Silksong (I paused for now at Groal, who knows, knows). The ending is... Happy-sad, to keep it spoiler free. I will miss that little spirit.

Flashing a pendrive with a Linux Mint... Now. No Freehold! Not that kind of flashing!

Lenore and Nefret were the surprises. Nefret's entire attitude was, "Oh, you're home." Not a pout. Not resentment. Just, "Oh. Hi." A non-reaction. And Lenore actually got skittish and avoided GothBard. I've almost never seen her react skittishly to a person before. She warmed up, of course, but I was surprised she had the worst recognition of the four. Are you sure that's a real GothBard and not a doppelganger who replaced her while she was away? Did she say the me-password? NobodysHome? NobodysHome?!
This year, during the father's visit I probably rode taxi more times than through my whole life up to that point. Uber was out of question because I am not attaching my card to a phone app. I'd rather call the taxi. On the phone. Me.

I was personally and directly informed that I am not allowed to provide Valeros a proper blowgun to avoid future dart swallowing. I thought about composite bow.
During the previous session of Legend Of Five Rings, the party was mostly focusing on exorcising the meddling spirit from their mistress maid. They succeeded, and learned there is some deeper and older factor (a curse, a force?) that messes up with the inheritance of the castle - in a few hundred years of records no castellan was born to the spouse of previous castellan. Because one of the characters suggested to their lords that the maid need to be checked by Kitsu medics, I decided to tie it to another idea for an adventure and the party was sent as an escort of transport of grain to nearby city (Toshi Ranbo, over a century prior to it becoming a capital, so now it's just a city that passes between Lions and Cranes) and at the same time deliver the girl for a check up at Kitsu Medic dojo there... Today: ... on their way there, the party defended the transport from a band of bakemono and their assault forest troll, with no losses to men or cargo. Matsu suffered a Light Wound that was quickly healed by Kitsu.
After a few days they arrived to the city, and discovered that allegedly, there is a specter of executed ronin haunting the city at night, and the people blame Kitsu Medic dojo. (Which has a few centuries old imperial privilege that permits them to conduct dissections on cadavers of executed criminals though they learned that later). They also spent their first night on the town in their life (they are young, they never had been to a city proper, and Kitsu not being favored by Daikoku, the Fortune of the Prosperity, quickly burned through his meager savings of 4 koku to provide the party with entertainment. Next day, they visited the dojo, witnessed the headmistress arguing with local Emerald Magistrate (who is Crane, which definitely causes some tension with the Lion city governor), then presented the maid for check up and talked with the headmistress about medicine, dissections, and asked her to see the corpse of the executed ronin. All of them could tell that the criminal is dead and Kitsu concluded that he is not coming back. Now they suspect some kind of big deception from Emerald Magistrate to rile up the city dwellers and cause riots that would make the city vulnerable to Crane attack... It's far more complicated.
I think the only ones I have categorically crossed off the list are Microsoft and Amazon. That leaves a LOT of contenders. I think that you explicitly denied working for Facebook/Meta and
