@cerebrate A superior libertarian is one who uses his superior moral philosophy to avoid situations requiring the exercise of his superior ruggidity?

@wolfyseyes One of the nice things about IRC is that, it being ephemeral, people aren't tempted to make it stand in for a forum, wiki, or (whisper it) actual fucking documentation.

@cerebrate Had to make this…

@cerebrate That's nothing new. You know about Peterloo, right?

@cerebrate In any case he can, canonically, buttle with the best of them.

@cerebrate regarding eldraeverse.com/2019/04/04/hea , which I happened to be re-reading today:

@intransitivelie The sugar one was probably your best bet tbh. Other spices (cinnamon? ginger?) might also work. And you wouldn't want to flood the local market for any single commodity.

You'd want to make sure to warn your customers that your spices are stronger than they're used to — most lost a lot of their flavour/pungency during transport so their recipes call for quite big quantities which with fresh spice would over-flavour the dish.

@intransitivelie the "being a wizard" thing was covered over 130 years ago by Mark Twain (A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court). Very entertaining, would recommend.

You'd need a huge quantity of salt to match the value of a handful of gold. Lindybeige did a video on that.

... you're right about aluminium, but you spelt it wrong :P

@cerebrate "...buried in soft peat for six months and recycled as firelighters".

("Wait. The form, or the applicant?")

@cerebrate Btw, did you really think we wouldn't notice that you named the two parts of your grammatical construction the "car" and "cdr"?
