Well, not with a peaceful protest anyway....

Anywho, I'm not of the school of thought that protests do anything. I just heard their was one and decided to go the other direction. As far as I can tell, in the modern era, the point of a protest is to socialize with other people present (like dating/romance). They mainly seem to jam up traffic and make the police extra twitchy.

I'm really against picketing. I just don't know how to show it.

It is by definition as transitory business. The revenues from the building alone will dwarf the tax income from the food carts. They vendor themselves are some of the most entrepreneurial in the city. They will relocate, reinvent,  and survive.  

The ones who make food to a high standard will do well anywhere. Many of them make good use of social media to update customers about location. 

A little. Mainly I recommend getting some extra lights and doing some test videos to work the kinks out. I've found that every space has it's own unique challenges. Shadows, ambient noise, reflective surfaces. Editing software is great but it's way easier when you start with decent footage. What I definitely would not do is shoot a whole sequence in an untested space. 

Many of the better carts have already relocated due to security issues at that location. I think its fine. I prefer more, smaller pods that are nearer to parks and quieter neighborhoods. 

One of the greatest psychedelic rockers of all time. 

It's an awful burden for any family. I do love the way that the community sticks together. 

Nice. I'll have a setup within a couple weeks. Has anyone here printed actual figures and painted them? I'd love to see photos. 

I've been making fake spoilers. Anyone can be a kingmaker! 

Switch to Emperors Children?

Oh, and I will echo the recommendation of a neat bourbon with just a couple drops of water. I like using a round tumbler to swirl it.

When you say expensive and unavailable, are we talking Pappy or going for like the blade and bow 22 yr, or like stuff made in the 1800s?

Pappy 25

Did they tell you the recipe for the mix?

So a few of us attend an annual whiskey party. This year there was a test. 

Five unmarked bottles were tasted in random order and given tasting notes. Three bottles were decent mid shelf bourbons of similar constitution. The fourth was really expensive and unavailable. The fifth one was an experimental mixture created to simulate the fourth and much less expensive than the first three. 

About ninety percent of the room picked either the fourth or fifth selection on an even split. 

Has anyone done blind tasting? Do you think you can identify quality using taste alone?

There are a lot of rogue clones that generate endless maps. 

Disgaea has an end but the playtime is effectively unlimited because of the item quests. No Man's Sky is kind of a roleplaying game. Binding of Isaac keeps going. 

Who needs star wars when you can watch A Boy And His Dog.

I'm really pleased that they have the time and resources for some leisure as well as the opportunity to pursue some other life interests. They gave the city of Portland an amazing gift. I believe the new owners are wise enough not to meddle with a winning formula. 

Nice!

Pro Tip: Alcohol based paints. (and painters)

It says that if a chainsaw player is knocked down for any reason the opposing coach is allowed to add plus three to armor. 

I think the answer is no in both cases but I'd like to see an official errata. 

Does the chainsaw player have to make an armor roll:

1. When placed prone using wrestle skill?

2. When stunned by pitch invasion? 

The entry for chainsaw says 'knocked down for any reason'. The question is whether every instance of being down is the same as being knocked down. 

Board games and/or whiskey?

Legend of Grimrock one or two. Classic dungeon crawling mechanic with an updated look. Actually, classic dungeon crawling with updated looks AND updated everything-else. 

Variable difficulty. Option of character creation (suggested for a second play through unless your intuition of party composition is naturally strong) 

Pretty typical back story, setup and environment. If you loved games like might and magic, path of radiance or even old fantasy text adventures you should get this. The grind factor is just right. The puzzles are clever but not too clever. The combat is fun. It's a great love letter to the genre.

It's confusing because 3 minus 2 is always 1 regardless of ag. Is this addressed explicitly in the errata?
