bionicjoey , in LOL! Look what the tin islanders think passes for a temple!

They should really label their orgy stadium more clearly. I mean, yes, we all know it's an arena of debauchery now, but how will people in thousands of years be able to tell that that's what it's used for?

You should throw the tin in the nearest river so you don't accidentally contaminate your precious copper with it

Did you make the appropriate blood sacrifice after you stoned him? If so, no, he's definitely the asshole for being a barbarian.

saltesc , in Using mom's tablet...

As someone with "Eh, it's alright" eyesight, I looooove dark mode interfaces. I can keep stronger contrast from increased brightness without getting melanoma on my face. In a room I'm around 70% brightness and it's still nice and dim.

By "dark mode interfaces" do you mean reading tablets by oil lamp?

saltesc ,

I use a trendy hipster low-light inefficient old-school bulb for reading hardcovered parchments. Give me a few more years.

I see.

One question.

What's a "bulb?"

Also, what is a "parchment?"

saltesc ,

A bulb is like a thin lamp that uses legal magic. A parchment is like a thin tablet that you can also use for wiping poo off your bum, depending on the author. They probably don't have these below the Cloud District.

You barbarians are weird.

Fabulous at haircuts, though.

I just visited this exhibit earlier today! They really knew how to manhandle lions back then.

I'm very jealous! I'd love to see that in person!

Corigan , in what's this thing again? i'm drawing a blank...

A sizzling fajita plate holder?

I_Fart_Glitter , in Why does it have to be so difficult?

Wrap it in a small bit of american cheese, then cover that in butter. Yes, dairy is not good for cats, but tiny bits (as a treat) can be worth it to get the meds in.

Also, there are compounding pet pharmacies that can mix your cat's medicine into a chewy treat in your choice of flavors. Don't know where you live, but: https://bravacare.com/ggvcp/

My lions are more picky than most. I'll ask Ashurbanipal if there's a vet in Nineveh than can help out.
