  • By that description, I imagine a centaur walking like a chicken.

    It's my failure, not yours.

    I might need to make chicken-centaurs in my game. Comical at first until you realize they're raptors.

  • Unfortunately there is no way to do this by the legal system.

    Any blue state running afoul of its own laws will result in their appointments being denied.

    Rules no longer matter and this next 'election' will not solve that.

    I truly hope that I am wrong.

  • Yeah, it's probably a best practice thing rather than strictly necessary.

    And they aren't my baguettes, but I did save this post to try them soon.

  • Minerals can interfere with the yeast colony, so you want to use filtered water for poolish and sourdough starter.

    Learned that off of YouTube earlier this week in a how to make your own sourdough starter video.

    And that's simple enough to share here. 50g flour and 50g water in a jar, left out and capped but not sealed. Remove 50% and replace with even amounts daily until you can tell that yeast has made it's way in. Done.

  • Karateka, along with everything else Jordan Meschner did following it, starting the Prince of Persia series.

    It's a nice evolution of personal style.

    I've more or less dropped out of mainstream gaming so have no idea how the more recent Prince of Persia games play, nor if he has any involvement... but anyone who knew the original games should understand that these games did something foundational with movement and interface, helping the player to feel involved in the action.

    This guy was clearly not all that bright. But he is hilarious, unintentionally.

  • We don't know what's going on in the brain at that moment. It might be enough during an oxygen starved moment. It might be only one piece of a much larger puzzle.

    I'm not claiming to have answers, only possible insight.

    I did have one friend who did a larger dose of DMT with a cocktail that let the trip last for eight hours rather than five minutes. Maoi inhibitor I think, keeping the drug from being broken down quickly. He thought he had overdosed, died, and was facing judgment.

  • All I can say is that the brain produces DMT when near death, and I have done DMT. Not a ton, but I have.

    Until that is properly studied, we can't know much more about NDEs, in my opinion.

    I'm sure DMT is but a small piece of that puzzle, but the feeling (whether real or chemically induced) of being in contact with cognizant entities on DMT is not uncommon.

    Personally, I'm an agnostic atheist. I think we are entities that end. But I'm not so stubborn to consider that there is more to reality than what I know.

    So I am inclined to dismiss NDEs and the like as being some kind of transcendent contact. Just full disclosure, no disrespect intended.
