De jure so does war but de facto does not.

Throw them into the deep end: Golden Boy.

Are they also tied to the ring on the wall? I can see something on one of their wrists but no bindings on the other.

What are you looking for from it? Protein? The firmest tofu you can find or the fried cubes of it you can find in some Asian supermarket. Texture? mock duck or any faux unbreaded chicken or beef (Gardein makes decent ones). Or faux breaded patties for a katsu style curry (Gardein again). Soy beans or chickpeas work relatively well but they don’t provide much of a contrast to the other veggies. I’ve never tried them in curry because there’s already rice under it, but Korean sliced rice cakes have an enjoyable chewy texture when cooked.

If you like curry, you might also like a few of the others with similar prep: hayashi rice, brown sauce, or white stew. They come in the same roux form and are just as easy and cheap.

Foiled again!

GoT invented it. There’s no such thing as Edipus or Electra. And definitely nothing in the years between. /s obv

1 Samuel 15:3

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Deuteronomy 20:16-17

But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:

But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee:

It can grow well in hardiness zones 2-11. There’s only 13 of those. Odds are in my favor. Maybe they just mean it doesn’t keep well in the fridge or something. Or they’ve got a black thumb.

I couldn’t get rid of huge bushes of it last time it got into the garden. It survived drought, insects weren’t interested in it, and it grew back after being cut down. How much more stable could it be?

Words Bubble is quite the juxtaposition to Perfect Blue.

It was raining, but those were cats and dogs.

Too many men.

Like DARE. Everyone I know who owns a DARE shirt wears it ironically.

Farts are made by bacteria.

In the same way that the teeth humans produce are natural and dentures are synthetic, human-produced farts are natural and fart spray would be the synthetic version.

Just picked up the new cat yesterday. He quickly gained confidence around the house. His two modes are sleep and zoom. He always wants to be higher than he is.

The two crucifixes are a nice addition to all that.

A successful restaurant chain would be nice.

As barely a teen back then, Breath of Fire 2’s stuck with me because of the scantily clad shamans on page 32.
