Good old days like yesterday.

Two things. Salt suppresses bitter flavors. Most poisonous things are bitter.

This suppression works even when you can’t taste the salt.

this is why you need to salt your eggplant slices before grilling them.

Anyway, another element is that salis, the Roman word for salt, also means wit or intelligence, but more wit.

You obviously don’t know how salt works.

Besides, the actual origin of “take with a grain of salt” comes from Pliny the Elder, who believed salt to be part of a cure for poison.

His actual words were “addito salis grano” or add a grain of salt.

He believed this because salt suppresses bitter flavors and most poisonous things taste fairly bitter.

The phase “cum grano salis” or with a grain of salt, then entered latin, and eventually a few other languages.

Life has convergent evolution. It’s like when devs on different branches solve the same problem over and over again without telling anyone else or merging back to main so no one else has to code the same shit over and over again.

Sometimes it’s just about having fun.

Except that salt negates bitter flavors. So if you have a bitter pill to swallow, you take it with a grain of salt and it isn’t as bad.

Thiel is involved in shit so bitter that it would take an ocean’s worth of salt to swallow.

Do you have a backflow regulator on your asshole? My friend didn’t.

Just don’t pass gas.

Remember kids, if you want to light a fart, do it through your pants.

I knew a guy who did not. He had burns inside his large intestine.

I will say, the game is remarkably stable compared to what it was a few years ago. Especially pistons and rotors.

But yes, it still crashes randomly. About once or twice an hour.

And I got SE2 running. No crashes there, but I don’t like creative mode, so play SE2 much less.

I am excited for the upcoming SE2 survival mode

I know. Tried a few things from that site, but no luck on SE, and SE2 is under active development so I’m waiting on it for a bit.

For SE2, it’s likely a version issue. But that game is under active development, so I’m waiting on it.

For SE1, well that one is a bit of a mystery… It probably isn’t. I have a few mods.

I play a lot of Space Engineers, and it randomly crashes… No idea what’s causing it.

And Space Engineers 2 just doesn’t launch for me.

There’s likely a config option that could fix things, but I don’t know it.

Every other game I play is fine.

I once played an ace bard. He only cares about the music. He also unconditionally oozed sex appeal.

Why secret? It’s a dull sword.

So for the sword… Bludgeoning damage unless it’s a crit, and then the enchantment does it’s thing regardless of the sharpness?

No, but the pies are a bit off, so they always give you the runs.

An additional note here. With no visible eyelids, and nothing visible to protect the back of the eye, bright lights would be extremely painful.

So either double blinding effects of light based attacks, or halve the saves vs the same.

You always have to ask “what right specifically?”

The answer usually boils down to racism and/or slavery.

The gameplay loop was solid, but not completely original.

But the lore of the world was interesting and was dolled out fairly well. Neat little chunks of lore that felt like a reward when you get them.

Add in great art and music, and you have a game that you can build a fan base on.

Add in the free expansions and fan friendly developer, and you get a robust fan base.

Which leads to expectations for the sequel.

Depending on how far along the prep work on the gourd was, it may have decomposed.
