Manhunt over, plus the Atlanta Journal-Constitution doesn't do nearly enough research about the history of Dragon Con.

8/22/2023 Question of the day

World Plant Milk Day: Almond milk, oat milk, soy milk... Do you use plant-based milk rather than dairy milk? If yes, do you use it instead of dairy in everything (tea/coffee, baking, cereal, etc.) or only in specific instances? Have you tried various types of plant milk? Do you have a favourite?

Coconut milk has been my go-to for dinner recipes calling for milk or cream for a long time, since the SO is lactose-intolerant. I don't think I've tried any other milks on their own, but in the last year I've tried a lot of different dairy-free products using various plant milks. I can't say I have a preference there.

8/23/2023 Question of the day

Ride the Wind Day: Have you ever been sky-diving? What about hang-gliding? If not, would you ever try either (both) of those activities? What about something tamer, such as kite-flying or sailing?

I thought hang-gliding looked cool when I was a kid. I've flown a kite at least, but not done any of these other things. Skydiving would be right out-- I don't ever want to train myself that it's okay to step out of an airborne plane.
