I'm not actually entirely convinced the majority of the Taleban really hate the Western way of life. It's just very different from their own way, and they don't want to live their lives by it any more than we'd want to our lives by their way if things were reversed. From their point of view...

Here are a few possibilities you might consider. Ancient Glory * Theme from Silk Road - Kitaro Battle, possibly Chase (starts pretty easy, gets more intense) * Theme from Requiem for a Dream

Pizza, Coca Cola, Pulp Fiction. There are worse ways to spend a Friday evening. And what a view it is. Congratulations Terrik, good job.

This all makes it intriguing to think how things will be when the time comes and our own elderly family members pass from time to eternity. Regardless of how well we think we know our close family members, and how all of us might have reasonable and well-intentioned characters, it is stories...

I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Not really. The authority to draw up the menu rests with the schools (or whoever is the food provider), though it seems designing of the menues need to be in accordance with recommendations from a government committee overseeing the matter. Here is a link in finnish to the relevant document from...

Yes, as my compatriot here spilled the beans, it is Mämmi, a proper finnish Easter dish. A rye based mixture that, while inside the container, looks like something a cow might have left behind, but it actually tastes quite good IMO once you get over the appearance and try it.

In one word, absolutely, Minmax and Forgath would have been pleased. They are adventurers by trade, which is a very risky profession where they face violent death on a constant basis. What they are doing is not having fun with friends, it is killing things and taking their stuff. The adventuring...

The emotions of Minmax ended up getting Kin freed, and gaining him something of a girlfriend. Had he kept those emotions in check, he would have had a high-level ranger as a party member. While it is all well and good that Kin got rescued, I think it is far from clear that this outcome is better...

Agreed, provided that it is directed appropriately to facilitate the attainment of relevant objectives. As a variable he had overlooked. His calculations were off, nothing more. If the color of Kin's hair or something had been a relevant variable and he had overlooked it, the calculation would...

:whistling:

Any plan needs to deal with an element of uncertainty, and no plan survives first contact with the enemy, according to Moltke. In a rapidly changing situation with limited information, people fall back on their intuition, their 'gut feeling', to make the call. With a sharp mind conditioned by...

If any of you ever visit Finland around Easter, I wholeheartedly recommend you try this. It tastes good with milk and cream, and this Easter I tried it with vanilla sauce for the first time. It was excellent.

Alright. Though previously you did say he "is doing a horrible thing to Kin, and he needs to be stopped", which I did take to mean stopped from doing a horrible thing to Kin, which would require near-immediate action. But if you are taking a longer-term perspective on punishing him for his...

For some reason I can't get the video to run properly, but whatever. Fermented herring is actually not as bad as it smells, though the stench is admittably repugnant. Also, in real fermented herring, pressure has been building up inside the can, so it is advisable to open the can under water...

Gilgamesh Okay. So what's your take on the usefulness of emotions in the context?

It may indeed be that we have a different take on the utility of emotions. For people with the mental fortitude to remain calm, composed and in control of their feelings no matter what, it may be that strong emotions are less of a drawback. But for regular folks, emotions are buttons to push...

And his efforts will need to be thwarted, as the fulfillment of his goals directly preclude the objectives of the party from being met. That is understood, as is the likelyhood that Psimax may need to be killed. If such is necessary or advantageous, then by all means they should proceed to do...

Haters gonna hate. Today, the psion is an adversary with goals incompatible with those of the party. Tommorrow, he may be a prospective ally, working together with whom can yield benefits. The party may need to bring about the psion's death to further their own agenda, but it doesn't pay to...
