Not certain about fish, but I think that’s a similar case?

Did you know humans are more closely related to catfish than catfish are to dogfish?

QI | No such thing as a fish

¦“yeah, it makes sense why that shape would be favored in water,”

Yeah, I can see that. But also it’s swimming in water. Then again if tou want to crawl around the bottom? Hexapod is probably the way to go. But then you also need to be able ro manipulate shit, so frontlimbs become bigger.

Like a lot of space vehicles meant for surface exploring, both imagined and real, are usually six-wheeled, probably for added stability in a rocky terrain where there’s a bit less gravity and sometimes storms and whanot. And what is it like on the ocean floor? Rocky, basically “less gravity” and odd flows like storms.

Idk there’s a bit more to it I guess, I’m just looking for what that bit is, or if there indeed is one.

I genuinely fail to see why it’s a thing. Like reading up it, it’s basically just convergent evolution of crustaceans to a crab-like shape.

Couldn’t the same be said for a ton of fish-like animals? The many attempts of nature to develop a fish? Hell, even some mammals went back to the fish, plan, although with the tail-fin the wrong way and having to visit the surface to breathe.

Or large-ish mammals all having pretty much a similar bodyplan, four limbs, head and neck.

Like surely there’s something so specific in carcinisation that I just haven’t picked up on yet. If someone know what it is pls inform me.

Huh maybe it might be okay then because the ones I’ve been using have had longer cook times and even when I played around with them, never got them nice.

Ty for the tips.

Chickpeas are legumes and legumes don’t have gluten. Although you should still check products because there might be crosd contam or added wheat in some products.

But yeah probably chickpea spaghetti can be found gluten free. I’ll put it on the “to try” list, but I’m not too hopeful. I’ve tried a whole bunch and without that gluten in there, just can’t get the consistency right enough for it to please me.

So I just got a rice cooker.

Sure, yeah.

Some are more…“beginner friendly”, as it were. But if you get some proper salty licorice from the pharmacy (and our pharmacies aren’t like US pharmacies where they sell everything like a grocery store), that’s definitely an acquired sensation.

I say sensation, because it’s honestly more about sensation than taste. Kinda like chili in food. (Although ofc chilis have taste as well. Habaneros are very different from Scotch Bonnets etc.)

Sensation, because it’s ammonium chloride that’s in there.

Some of that is amazing.

If you ever see a Pantteri Mix bag, pick one up.

Some or most salty licorice is pretty shit tho imo

I’ve been off gluten for a while now for medical reasons and god damn this a thousand times. I would kill for some decent spaghetti.

All the gluten free ones are kinda shit.

But probably last lived in a state. Something which PR is not.

Idiotic bureaucratic systems designed to not work

So not much brainstorming to do with a bunch of anthropomorphised catch-22’s.

18?

Damn southerners.

He swore he was hetero but wanted to suck me off. Because dicks are so “aesthetically beautiful” while vajayays where just “disgustingly filthy axe-wounds” 😂

Dude was so deep in the closet he was crowned king in Narnia.

There was also a House MD episode with a patient with that.

Soft and wet?

I liked the persuasion mini game in Oblivion that everyone else seemed to hate.

Now that you mention that, that was a thing, among with a few others that perhaps made me go “well that’s a bit boring”. That was about the extent of complaints I had about Skyrim.

We drank beer, smoked weed and slayed dragons while epic soundtracks played.

I’m pretty sure a lot of the enjoyment I got was contextual yeah.

But the skill system caught a lot of guff, which I recall being an issue some people had. I definitely remember the skill system being a thing that made a lot of people angry.

You’re a decade or so older than me, and I think that affects our experiences of how it was received.

Personally I wasn’t on any online forums (at least ones which discussed TES) back then. I only had friends of my own age, people who had been tweeners/teeners when Morrowind came out and older teenagers when Oblivion came out.

I genuinely don’t remember any gripes about the game in comparison to older TES. Well, except that I really loved how open-ended the crafting was in Morrowind. You could do seriously OP items if you had the skill and gold.

Popularity of mods was instant

This is also a difference between us, as I played it on PS3 back then, so didn’t have mods. Neither did my friends.

I was much more critical of the games I played when I was 30 compared to when I was 20. So perhaps that’s a bit of the explanation? I’m not saying none of your complaints are true, they’re probably all true from a certain pov. I just didn’t experience any of them myself, and seemingly neither did my TES playing friends, and we weren’t into reading online reviews or anything.

Were you there?

Do you know what Oblivion didn’t have, for instance?

Dual Wielding.

Idk man. I was just living in my first apartment, had played both Oblivion and Morrowwind, and I don’t ever recall hearing anything like that.

Everyone I knew who was in to the games was fkin psyched over it. The mechanics were cool even if the world might’ve felt smaller to some.

and as a watered down Oblivion by older ES players.

Uh… What?
