Cyborg and all the Mork Borg games are so great. I want to play and run them more too. I did a few months long Pirate Borg campaign and it was such a blast. I really want to give Vast Grimm a go too.
These games are just so fast, fun, random and wild. Such rich tools for great storytelling. Love, love, love them.
Gorillaz - Stylo is pretty awesome. One of my favorite music videos ever.
Caravan Palace - Lone Digger is really awesome as well. Great song and well animated.
I have at least 4 companies on my banned list, but the ones that come up most often are...
That's just a few of my old man rants.
No, that's a necklace job

$20 CAD for a brew!!! That's really impressive and an amazing value. We do have a great local homebrew scene here and our local suppliers offer pretty good value for equipment and supplies. I probably could get similar costs as well. Unfortunately like the OP in the thread I don't have the kind of space for bulk grain and milling machines or other bulk storage. Being in an apartment has it's limits and Ive pretty much hit them. I'm satisfied with my cost efficiency even knowing it could be better under different circumstances.
Cool to hear that you have great cost efficiency! That's awesome to see. Thanks for sharing!
As an alternative view, I homebrew and while the cost to get in can be a bit steep, the long term costs are actually pretty good. I looked at the cost to get equipment as a loss and just wrote it off. Electronic kettle and automation was pricey, but luckily I was able to have some costs offset with work benefits. Realistically though, in actual ingredients, between $30-50 USD for 5 gallons of beer and about 8 hours total of time for cleaning, brewing, fermenting and packaging, it's not too bad.
I tend to be very meticulous though with my brew process, so I haven't lost a batch, at least not due to contamination. I've had some beers that weren't great, but when you put it in perspective, a 12 ounce serving probably cost me about $0.50 - 1.00. Comparatively, while not great, it was still drinkable and as good as anything I could get for that price.
Being able to make decent sized quantities of good beer to take to parties, give as gifts, and just have on hand really diminishes the hit of the cost of equipment. I feel like it's been worth it.
I think this looks like a Marigold, but not sure what specific kind. Certain kinds do get quite big and don't do well in pots.
That being said, it looks like there are two or three stems at least there and this pot may be a little small for this plant. I don't know exactly how dead it might be but it may liven up with a bit more room. Marigolds like loamy soil. A combination of dirt, sand and clay that also drains well. Maybe try a bigger pot and see if it perks up.
Even the synthetic ones are great. Your options for colors are a bit more limited but the quality is still good. Would still recommend those over Bombas. I was disappointed in the Bombas quality and found myself having to buy them more often due to wearing down quickly.
Ultimately I hope you can find what you need! All the best to you, friend!
A lot of great advice in this thread.
Adding a note here about socks. Don't bother with Bombas. They are fine, but no better than other generic socks you will find out there. I was all in to the hype of them too but after using them for a few years i found they don't hold up any better than other socks. I wouldn't consider them an "investment".
Now, if you want to invest in a sock, consider getting Darn Tough. They are more expensive, however their wool and synthetic socks are pretty solid. I find they hold up way better than my Bombas ever did, are much more comfortable, moisture wicking of wool is very good and, best part, if they fall apart, wear down and get holes, Darn Tough will replace them. They will have you send them back and give you a credit to get a new pair. Full credit. It's fantastic. Highly recommend.
Right? That's exactly what I wanted and didn't get. But I did get bombarded with a half dozen ads in my search through the article including one that wanted me to pay them for this stellar reporting.
No, they don't seem to last long at all. Those two there have already fallen off but there are three more farther down.
It brings me a lot of joy that it was happy enough to flower for me. I spent many years thinking I was terrible at talking care of plants, but now, knowing and better understanding what they need, it has taught me a lot.
Thanks for your comment!
Got a lovely surprise yesterday morning coming in to my office! I have a little prayer plant on my desk and it seems to be sprouting some cute little flowers now! Never expected it to flower. Totally made my day!
Same as any other game really.
With Pirate Borg there is a really great "sandbox" style thing included with the book that lets players freely explore and roam a large area with lots of dungeons, caves, encounters etc. We had a bigger offshoot story arc that we were following from some previous games in other systems and tied in to a story arc on the island that interested the players.
With Mork Borg I was trying to do a rapid fire series of lunchtime games over a long campaigns where players were being called upon to do things by this unseen force.
It was actually a thing that came up during character creation where we gave the group a common background element. The element we rolled was that all the players hear the incessant sounds of the insects and worms that tells them to go places and do things. This is enough to pretty much take any one shots and tie them together as part of something bigger. What that bigger thing is? Who knows. We will figure it out and I enjoy letting the players find meaning in stuff like that to make it powerful.
