It's 3 dl water, 2 dl white vinegar, 0.5 dl sugar and 1.5 teaspoons salt. The carrots have some dried and ground chili, and the cucumbers have dill.

If anything, my first batch of carrots came out too firm.

The Naked Now was a bizarre choice for such an early episode. It's the very first one after the premiere, and it's based on the crew acting out of character – before the audience has had time to learn what their personalities are supposed to be.

The key reason why this failed is that it was prohibitively expensive to run. They had to maintain a cast of professional actors, and even minor hotel staff had to maintain story and character.

There’s a very small audience that’s willing to pay thousands of dollars for a Star Wars LARP, no matter how professionally it’s produced.

 

Today, August 20 2023, is the day when Johnny Silverhand blows up Arasaka Towers with a nuclear device. (Some sources say Morgan Blackhand was also involved, but Johnny claims no knowledge of this.)

Commenting to creators with specific things that I like about their work

 

Automagic was a series of toy cars with color-sensitive paint that changed color in hot and cold water

 

Now that the Phantom Liberty Tour has started and people get to play it, they are discovering gameplay details that haven't been officially discussed. Spoilers for PL, obviously.

My first thought was "Wait, they made an M-Tron robot?" But no, this is Spyrius, which reuses the same color scheme with added blue elements.
