I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

I saw frogs. Here's one of them. Likely relevant to @onegrenouille.myatproto.social's interests.

[Sees someone posting covid denialism, namely disbelief in long covid]Gonna dabble in AIDS denialism next? If you judge people for their decision to wear a mask, you're a shitty person.

Must be nice, not having chronic health problems. Probably someone with nothing rewarding in life, possibly fishing to get the new "no dogpiling" rule to go after a bunch of people just to feel something where their soul should be. They don't deserve the attention.

Look, if I'm going to be referring to a group of people who might not all identify as the same gender (or are non-binary) I'll either be using y'all or comrades. Jack's just mad that he can't turn the word "Y'all" into an exhibit at the British Museum, where the inventors can't use it.

Okay. You have unfortunately been hit with the curse that makes you adapt a work you liked as a kid into a ttrpg. What thing are you adapting?

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,
