Eeehhh... can't speak of the moisture bit, but the spoilage is only like, half the picture. Honey's big thing re: long term storage is that, depending on what's in it, it likes to crystallize -- turn to sugar, something along those lines -- and some sorts'll do so faster than others (though, on the other hand, there are indeed varieties that stay liquid basically forever -- the tupelo I mentioned above is one of 'em* ). Does tend to last a while, though. It's just a while for some sorts is measured in months, and a while for others is measured in small mammal lifetimes.

*We actually had a huge jar of the stuff sitting in one of the cupboards in my house for, like, five+ years. Was still about as edible at the end as it was in the beginning. I... I never really ate from that particular jar, though. Friggin' thing had a dead bee in it. Honey was still fine, other folks in the family still ate it without problem, it's just... ugh. Something inside me viscerally retreats from the thought of having to pick bee legs out of my honey >_<

Sounds like it's the changing variable that's causing the difference, then. Maybe they're all roughly equivalent, but different players interact with the ranges in such a way to get different responses, despite the overall atmosphere being the same. Everyone that plays ranked is a particular sort of jackass that brings out the jackass in a different band of Elo, I guess.

... man, you say that, and then get the native area entirely wrong. The new england ones were dagon's get, not cthulhu's. Didn't really have much to do with r'lyeh.

Learn yo'self -- for fishmen, you want y'ha-nthlei. R'lyeh's got other sorts o'critter.

There were AI War games running pretty regular for... a while. Few months? Something like that. I stopped showing up once the latest DLC popped up, heh. One of these days I'll get around to getting it and kicking around for a few more games, but that could be a while.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure it'd be fairly easy to get a scratch game running if someone's got a decent enough connection/etc. to host it and gives people a bit (day or two) of forewarning the game's coming up. S'a fair few (at least one or two dozen, going by my steam friend's list, ha) folks running around OG that have the game and wouldn't mind sinking a few hours into it if the opportunity's available.

Though yeah, I tend to cycle a bit, as well. Usually not so much between 1-2 as 3-5, though, occasionally more depending on game size/time investment/etc.

So... I've got a pressure cooker. I've got a rump roast. I have an incredible urge to see what happens if you use apple juice instead of water to cook it. I'm not sure if I actually will, yet, because I wouldn't be the only one eating it, but... still.

Would... would any of you folks out there happen to have tried something similar, and be willing to share the results/make recommendations/warn me to flee for the hills?

Google saved you, friend serg. Google

Mostly because most anything gets slurred together such that you'll be able to distinguish maybe 2-3 consonant sounds if you're not intimately familiar with it.

Nah, it's just that they're pronounced literally identical in this area, and I generally don't use either word enough to remember (or care) which is which :V

Not really slurred together, there's just not a difference in pronunciation. Ten-ent, either way. The one not having to do with renters doesn't really get used enough for anyone to really care, heh.

Nope.

It does condemn certain sorts of sex, and warns against a number of attitudes regarding the subject (and relationships in general), but it neither condemns sex itself nor considers it evil in and of itself, necessary or otherwise. Improper sex, yes, the text has problems with that, but otherwise it's all pretty much good.

Details are more complicated (there's some hypocritical as fuck stuff re: sex in those books, particularly in the OT), but that's the gist of it.

Probably worth noting that a number of christian sects (many protestants, as a non-exclusive example) very much do condemn it and/or consider it a necessary evil. Pretty much spitting on the text itself when they do that, but hey, that's what denominations tend to do one way or another, heh.
