If I remember correctly, this happened in Everquest Frontiers. You’d catch some shitty AoE debuff in town and give it to other people, including attackable NPCs like guards. Guards were not easy to kill, so they just carried that shit for weeks. The only way to remove the debuff was die, but it just kept spreading, so the best way was to not coach to other towns, but Freeport was basically fucked. That was SOE for ya, and they did that shit on purpose.
It’s just a simple dish, there’s many recipes online with different variations.
Typically, I just slice the sprouts in half and put them in a glass baking dish (nice and fresh, don’t use frozen or they will turn to mush). Then, bacon is cut into small pieces and pre-cooked in a pan, nice and crispy. Drain the bacon, then add it to the sprouts, adding back a little of the bacon grease, just enough to cover the sprouts. Into the oven at about 400, giving them a stir halfway through. They’re ready when the sprouts are easily pierced by a fork (usually about 20-25 min).
Sometimes, I also add things like onions, beets, turnips, butternut squash (all cut to about the same size as the sprouts). If I’m making a medley like this, I don’t always add the bacon, opting for a little oil with crushed garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
Roasted vegetables is one of my most favorite side dishes, as it’s pretty easy to make and so very tasty. My parents weren’t always cooking easy fixes for dinner and I have vivid memories of things like this at the table. Other Thanksgiving favorites: real cranberry sauce (no canned) and mashed rutabaga. Now I’m so hungry!

Can the TVA please prune this fucking timeline already.
Holy forking shirtballs!

I love how no one in the comments specifically mentions his name, like he’s fucking Voldemort or something.

Zazen. If the mind is empty, there is no one to be bored.
Don’t believe everything you see on TV. There’s a reason it’s called “the idiot box”.
I always find it interesting that our ancestors were for the most part fruitarians (fruits, grasses) about 3.5 million years ago. As we evolved, we expanded our diets to include vegetables, meats, and grains, leading to a better balanced diet, which is good especially considering we don’t hunt and gather like they once did.
Ugh, please tell me you saved me a gummer.
I had MP3 tracks for my car dedicated to this sound effect (both Enterprise and Voyager). With the subs, you could really feel it. Very soothing.
Meh, I stopped playing when zombies learned to dig. I miss my underground minibike tunnels.
I used to get mad and chuck the controller at the NES. Imagine my surprise one day when I broke the cartridge door off. Fucking Battletoads.

Right as it ramps up to a Cat 5? Fucking guy!
I read the title and immediately thought Estrogen. Explains where my head is at these days.
“First of all…”
Holy shit, I love grapes. I usually snip off part of a bunch, rinse it, and have it with my lunch. Nice way to finish the meal and cleanse the palate with something sweet.
