You can make pisanki out of hard-boiled eggs and keep them in the fridge, and eat them as you want.Things I've learned:
Hollowing out eggs for pisanki is damned difficult.
I bought a pack of 18 eggs, figuring that over the course of the next week, I could use them a few at a time and then wash and dry them.
I remembered watching my aunt do it and I'd read internet tutorials, so how hard could it be?
My current success rate is 1/4.
Also, after going through three different tools, the orchid stake (not pointy but very small and hard) worked better than the wider tools with sharp points.
No, I absolutely cannot.
Because the only thing worse than the taste of hard-boiled eggs is the smell of hard-boiled eggs.I detest eggs in every form except quiche (and only then if the bacon and mushrooms are sufficiently strong), souffle and meringue.

Urm... Are there any precautions you can put around your house to make sure you don't land wrongly etc?
If you dislocate a hip can you wiggle yourself back, or what is the procedure?
*gets dressed*
I've just gotten really good at falling. Not kidding. I'm amazing at falling without hurting myself. Even if I've only got a second I can usually get close enough to the ground. But bathrooms are not easy for that even for me. Not really anything I can do about it. Everything is just really close together. Best I can do is try and brace myself against stuff so I don't hit my head.
And yes, that's basically it. I can twist and pop and wriggle joints back into position quite well. Sometimes I need some help. It's really hard to put back a dislocated shoulder by yourself. I have special stretches to pop a hip back into place. Or a knee, thumb, wrist, etc. Ribs are bad though. It's really hard to twist around well enough to put a rib back. I have to go to the chiropractor for that. So dislocated ribs are something I dread because the longer something stays out of place the worse it hurts. Anyhow, if you ever meet me in real life and it seems like I'm wriggling around a lot, I'm just trying to put my joints back where they're supposed to go. ^.^| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |

When I mentioned to Teensy Valeros that I. Major would be going to see the movie in costume, he insisted on the errand.
So, for reasons lost in the annals of time, Impus Major was unfortunate enough to see Gnomeo and Juliet years ago. When he heard that they were coming out with Sherlock Gnome, he became obsessed with seeing it, on opening day, dressed as a gnome.
Yep. Definitely my son.
So Teensy Valeros got Gnomeo in a Burger King Happy Meal equivalent. He decided that Impus Major needed to borrow him. So tonight, mid-tactical discussion, there was a quiet knock at the door. Mr. Stereotype got the door and was speechless; teenagers just don't know how to deal with young kids. Teensy Valeros held up Gnomeo and said, "This is for Impus Major."
Impus Major came clambering over the furniture (because it's what he does) and his face exploded in a HUUUUUUUUUGE grin!
"Is that for me?"
"Yes!"
"Is it mine?"
"No, it's mine. But you can have it for the movie."
Man, Impus Major was ludicrously happy. Now he's going to go to the movie in costume and with a little Gnomeo.
Yeah, I'm not going.

It's really not a matter of pulling it off, for me.
My daughter and I are both ridiculously shy and introverted.
As in, my husband will invite thirty people over to our house for some random occasion, I will cook, and then she and I will sit at the top of the staircase listening to the party together and crying because it's just too damned many people we don't know to actually go downstairs and join in the "fun".
But we both love to cosplay, because it gives us a way to be in a large group of people without being scared. I'm madly trying to finish the costume she's asked me to make for her for this year's Woz Con (Lieutenant M'Ress from Star Trek: The Animated Series), which is totally not what I would have picked for her. (I would have chosen Wednesday Addams, which counts, because the character first appeared in a single-panel comic in The New Yorker.)
And with my joint pain problems, well, there have been days that I have cosplayed in order to be able to leave the house because my body hurt so much that there was no way that *I* was strong enough to leave my room, but River Song could damned well put on her lipstick and march through the door and carry on, and the devil take anyone who was foolish enough to get in her way.

I have no sense of design or any arty thingies in me so I have no idea on how I'd do a costume.
Though I had a funny thought of buying a blue towel from Giant and trying to pose as a seething brine (you just have to put the towel over yourself, right?)to get into a game convention.
Entry for cos players is free, everyone else gets to pay $10 and I was feeling too cheapskate.

After the fiasco of their full frontal assault last time, Talky McTalktalk and I convinced the group to actually select a party leader (they chose Talky, with Impus Minor tactical advisor, which was their best possible choice), selected good roles for the party...
...then decided they were going to do another full frontal assault on the fortress.
*SIGH*
You win some, you lose some...
I believe this may be relevant to your woes, NH.
Interesting. I didn't see how it did, but egocentric altruism is one of those HUGE pet peeves o'mine:
There are a multitude of situations, from traffic to work to gaming, where behaving in a non-optimal way for yourself improves everybody's experience, including your own. Traffic's my favorite: As late as 1999, traffic models showed that if drivers would just cooperate, there would be no traffic jams in the Bay Area.
Many people understand this, and behave in the most mutually-beneficial way.
Those who don't, and behave selfishly, get a small benefit to themselves, but at a huge cost to the rest of society.
Let's just say I loathe such people with a remarkably-burning passion.
I
Er...
Hmmm...So the argument is, if everyone was richer, we all would be richer? And thus the world as a whole would be better functioning?
That...isn't really much of an argument is it? Is there something here I'm not seeing?
(insert other keywords for rich - like better educated, nicer or the like).And doesn't the whole video dodge the messy question of the "Pie-distribution Game"? (aka Politics)?
Lastly not a fan of the Zero-sum/Positive-Sum usage here...it's often far more complicated then that when looking at "Pies" (see the question right above).
I'll just say that, though I love me some Kurgestatz (), this was not one of their better videos, because it heavily obfuscated some very real and genuinely serious issues.
The Industrial Revolution was, and continues to be, awesome, but it is not the "Everything is Different Forever and Nothing Can Go Wrong with More" they paint it to be in said video - point in fact, they are entirely wrong in their implication (though not statement) that now we have free, infinite resources forever, as can be demonstrated by their suggestion that we no longer need to go to war for STUFF (hah!), and their suggestion that resources are no longer limited (which, of course they are, we just have the ability to use more).
Rather, it was just a part in the ever-expanding collective lore of humanity dedicated toward our ability of yielding higher amounts of <stuff> for ourselves within a limited resource framework; we've found more resources, and now we know how to use them better - welcome to the new paradigm, same as the old paradigm.
That said, their basic argument - that making the world better for everyone makes it better for yourself - is fundamentally correct (insomuch as you are also included in "everyone"), but their argumentation fails to account for (even though it mentions!*) actual limited resource allocation, and how that directly impacts your own lifestyle and nature.
As a single example, sure, we could just divert all the money that goes into big movie production into cancer research, and this should hypothetically make everything better for anyone affected by cancer (which is most of us, even if we're not sick from it ourselves), but then we wouldn't have movies anymore, and, as much as we all want to get rid of cancer, I'm pretty sure there are quite a few thousand people who want to continue to watch movies - not because they're okay with others dying of cancer while they watch a movie, but because there are no guaranteed results from the research being conducted, while there are guaranteed results - and those results are enjoyable - with diverting funds into movie-watching. That doesn't bother accounting for those who would be out of work.
And this is a similar argument that can be repeated with anything. Effectively, we have limited resources, and people are going to spend some of these on their own luxuries, preventing them from spreading that around to all the other people that would benefit, even if it would benefit those enjoying the luxuries, because pumping that money into other people that are entirely unrelated is neither a known, nor a guarantee, and requires you to actively trust a whole slew of people who you don't know and who have entirely alien values to your own** and just kind of hope that by making them your equals you aren't going to create someone that will roll you over with their new power and wealth and education and take your stuff.
That is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge load of trust. Especially, when,
It's like a slap to the face of the justice system. OK I'm rich, therefore I get to do whatever I want.
Fine, there's some truth in that, but...
*flattens ears*
This is an accurate summary of the history of human civilization.

I've been burned too many times? The issue is I'm a little twitchy at this point of time, have trust issues + no patience for weird shenanigans.
Maybe I'm just not ready.
I don't know if I'm just getting uptight about it or am I right to feel that a group and GM that accepts casual pickpocketting probably isn't a good fit for me?
At the risk of repeating myself (which I do), I don't think it's a GM issue. If a player wanted to be a mischievous CN rogue who occasionally picked pockets of innocent NPCs on his way through town, I'd give the NPCs and party members their requisite Perception rolls, and everyone who knew about it would start a long, slow decline towards Evil (harming others for the fun of it is not a Neutral act in my book), but as a GM I would just monitor the situation.
The problem is, I've never seen a player who stopped there. "I want to play a gleaming anti-hero, like Dirty Harry or Judge Dredd" is what they always say. Then you actually let them play, and there's nothing "heroic" whatsoever in their behavior. NPCs are tools to be abused, robbed, mocked, and tormented.
"You come upon a grieving widow, crying over the corpses of her dead husband and children."
"Is she hot? I boff her!"
"You WHAT?!?!?!"
"I maxed out Diplomacy! I roll a... 42! I boff her right there on her husband's corpse! I'm Chaotic! It's fine!"Yeah, THAT'S the kind of stuff I have to deal with when I allow players to be "lovable rogues".
oh my god!
My character would NEVER stoop so low as to seduce a woman grieving her loss atop her beloved's body!
That's just unsanitary!
More seriously, I think this is nore of a problem with binary skill systems than alignment. That player would likely do the exact same thing if they were playing a paladin. Because the rules encourage such a success/fail viewpoint.
What's more it's a rules failure.
Unless...
no, it DOES work that way, it would just take a couple of days, and not be immediate. However, the role of the dm in most modern games has been regulated to "just another dude at the table" due to rule changes that have been underway since 3.0 days, in my opinion. I hope that changes in the future.

I think you're miscontruing me. I *love* seeing Diplomacy and/or Charm Person used correctly. The issue arises when players prefer to ignore little inconveniences such as, oh, Charm Person being a very loud and obvious spell (Verbal and Somatic components) so you can't cast it casually at a dinner table, etc.
One of my favorite all-time Pathfinder GM'ing moments was watching GothBard's paladin of Sarenrae negotiating with an oni to convince it to lead, watch over, and protect a tribe of stone giants for 1000 years, at which point she would return to judge it.
It was... spectacular.
But, "We're at the negotiating table. I cast Charm Person one NPC at a time around the table," is just a great big, "No."
no, it DOES work that way, it would just take a couple of days, and not be immediate. However, the role of the dm in most modern games has been regulated to "just another dude at the table" due to rule changes that have been underway since 3.0 days, in my opinion. I hope that changes in the future.
It does not, because the example (though extreme) was "immediate, now!" in tone and style (and obvious intent).
As noted, though, table variation is an important thing, and it's not a bad one.
And that's why your table isn't wrong - it's just different from the RAW. And, hey, you're chaotic anyway, so deviance from RAW isn't bad.
:)
(Also, the GM is expressly encouraged to modify, alter, or change rules in all the books, but there is a cultural trend among gamers to remove the high Authority of the GM in favor of a lesser authority more co-equal with other gamers at the table. I don't think this is a bad thing, but the GM should definitely be given special consideration, as he is the one running things, and doing a lot more work than others. But, as in all things, there is a compromise to be had.)
And yeah, it really is a pet peeve of mine:
