TL;DR: lonely people often have maladaptive self-schemas which feel incongruent with compliments.

Wonderful! I’ve been hoping to learn to do this to replace my neighbor’s vinyl fence. What’s your preferred style? Do you recommend any resources for learning the skill?

Quick, Smithers, get in the spruce goose! But… Mr. Burns… pointing gun I said get in.

It’s wild, way more mushrooms than I’ve ever seen. Huckleberries came super early and are much bigger than usual. Climate change is wild.

I used a random orbital sander and it took a pretty long time to get it as smooth as I wanted. Still worth it for a pan that will last forever!

I’ve been cooking with cast iron for decades, first with rough lodge pans then for the last 15 years after sanding them smooth. IMO smooth cast iron is far away the better cooking experience. Trying to get stuck bits out of the rough surface is a nightmare. With a smooth surface and a nice metal spatula (Dexter is the brand I use) nothing ever sticks and the seasoning sticks perfectly well. I’d just recommend getting carbon steel pans to anybody that doesn’t have smooth cast iron yet, as they’re much lighter and perfectly smooth out of the box.

You’re in for a treat! I tend to still prefer the parser based EGA versions for nostalgia reasons but it’s very well done and faithful to the original.

I’m longing for another play-through thanks to you! Maybe I’ll go fighter then paladin instead of my usual magical thief.

This graph stops at 2014 but extrapolating to today 5% to 10% seems about right.
