It's wintering hard out there, so I'm pulling out all the wintertime fiddle tune classics. This one's "Cold Frosty Morn." I've heard of this melody having a scottish jacobin origin. Sound off about the Jacobite rising of 1745 down in the comments!

MSP airport. Clergy risking risking arrest and a huge gathering of protesters. The song is, “Down to the River to Pray.”

Like my papaw always said, "if'n it's cloudy, put er in my mouthy"

Key to long-term success is easing into it

A mountain scene from a video game. A waterfall cascades past in the distance. There are goats and prayer flags.

If there are waterfalls in your game and there isn't a secret cave behind at least one of them then this is a critical UX issue that must be addressed immediately

This is correct, it's harvested and sold. It smells terrible and also, the stench doesn't just go away - whatever it touches will have to be scrubbed and processed. Just, in case folks wanted more detail lol

Are you children

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now
