Was plains vs planes intentional? Wasn't sure if that was a misspelling since most elementals come from other planes or a pun since it takes plains worth of grain to make the ale.

A great lover of Flemish art, Queen Isabella treasured her many devotional books. This deluxe manuscript was created for her private devotions by highly organized and distinctly talented manuscript painters active in Ghent and Bruges. The Ghent-Bruges school represents the culmination of Flemish book painting, whose main features were the use of rich colors, illusionistic effects, a love of landscape, and a strong sense of visual narrative. Manuscripts produced by this circle of artists are renowned for their border decoration featuring a rich variety of realistically painted flowers, scrolling acanthus leaves, birds, and butterflies.

Unfortunately I have no faith in my state. They will keep voting for the GOP that does nothing for them and actively goes against the will of the voters time and time again.

We went from US media once attacking President Biden over his age and condemning President Obama for daring to wear a tan suit in the briefing room to them actively normalizing a criminal for over a decade as he threatens to murder Democrats. They deliberately failed democracy.

Yep, I used to run and play Marvel FASERIP where you could have the Punisher and Thor level characters on the same team. As GM you learned to match power level a lot. In one game I was a player and the character had the most defense so he was always playing shield (his name was Argus...)

And yes if you trafficked or raped anyone child or adult you should go to jail. This was specifically in response to Megyn Kelly trying to making a difference between prepubescent and pubescent kids getting molested by Epstein and friends.

That hurts this old man just to look at.

Pavise, a kind of great shield design that could cover the entire body, widely used during the 15th century.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Essentially it is this, yes.

I gave up a long time ago. Had a stretch of several years where I was not home when it happened. Was so excited the year I could be home and bought a bunch of candy, ended up eating almost all the candy myself over the following week.
